⇒ 4m − 5 − 3m − 3 = 3m + 3 − m + 1
⇒ m − 8 = 2m + 4
⇒ 2m − m = −8 − 4
⇒ m = −12
Hence, the value of m is −12.
Q.No.2: What is the sum of the first 900 natural numbers?
Solution: First 900 natural numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, ..., 900 forms an AP.
First term (a) = 1
Last term (l) = 900
Number of terms (n) = 900

⇒ OP = 41 − 40
⇒ OP = √81
⇒ OP = 9 cm
Hence, the radius of the circle is 9 cm.
Q.No.5: Rahul decided to paint his playing top(lattu) with crayons. The top is
shaped like a cone of lateral height 30 cm and radius 14 cm surmounted by a
hemisphere. He wishes to paint the conical part in blue and the circular part in
red. What is the ratio of the area to be painted in red and blue?
Solution: Curved surface area of hemisphere = 2πr2

∴ Red painted area=2 × × 14 × 14

Q.No.8: What is the nature of the roots of the quadratic equation
x + 10x − 1200 = 0? Find the roots using the factorization method.
2
Solution: Given: x2 + 10x − 1200 = 0
Clearly 40 − 30 = 10 and (40)(−30) = −1200
∴ x2 + 40x − 30x − 1200 = 0
⇒ x(x + 40) − 30(x + 40) = 0
⇒ (x + 40)(x − 30) = 0
⇒ x = −40 and x = 30
Hence, the roots are −40 and 30.
Q.No.9: Calculate the median for the following frequency distribution:
Class-
0 - 10 10 - 20 20 - 30 30 - 40 40 - 50
interval
cf 5 15 30 8 2
Solution: The given frequency table is of less than type represented with
upper-class limits.
Therefore, class intervals with their respective cumulative frequency can be
defined as below.
Frequency Cumulative frequency

(f) (cf)
0 - 10 5 5
10 - 20 15 20
20 - 30 30 50
30 - 40 8 58
40 - 50 2 60
From the table, it can be observed that the cumulative frequency just greater
than is 50, corresponding to class-interval 20 - 30.

1. Draw a line segment MN.
2. Draw a ray MX making an acute angle with MN.
3. Locate m = 3 points on the ray MX such that each part is equal.
4. Now, draw a ray NY which is parallel to MX and again make n = 4 points on
the ray NY such that each part is equal.
5. Since the line segment is to be divided in the ratio 3 : 4, join the third
division on MX and the fourth division of NY.
Hence, the figure obtained is as follows:
Q.No.13: Find the mode of the following data:
Class-interval 0 - 10 10 - 20 20 - 30 30 - 40 40 - 50
Frequency 5 8 10 7 5
Solution: From the data, it can be observed that the maximum frequency is
10, belonging to class-interval 20 - 30.
Therefore, modal class = 20 - 30
Lower class limit (l) of modal class = 20
Frequency (f1) of modal class = 10
Frequency (f0) of class preceding the modal class = 8
Frequency (f2) of class succeeding the modal class = 7
Class size (h) = 10

∴ Mode=l + ( ) × h

Q.No.16:
Two pillars with a difference of 10 m in height are standing on either side of the
road, which is 120 m wide. The angles of elevation of the top of the pillars are
45° and 60º, respectively at a point on the road between the pillars. Find the
height of both the pillars.
Solution:
Let AB and CD be the pillars and O is the point from where the elevation angles
are measured.
Let AB = h, CD = h + 10, BO = x, OD = 120 − x
In ΔABO,
AB Perpendicular
tan 45° = (∵ tanθ = )
BO Base
h
⇒ 1 =
x
⇒ h = x
In ΔCDO,
CD Perpendicular
tan 60° = (∵ tanθ = )
OD Base

⇒ √3 =
120−x
⇒ h + 10 = 120√3 − x√3
120√3−10
⇒ x =

10(12√3−1)
⇒ x =

10(12√3−1)

⇒ x = ×
√3+1 √3−1
⇒ x = 72. 42 m
∴ h = x
⇒ h = 72. 42 m
⇒ h + 10 = 82. 42 m
Therefore, the height of pillars is 72.42 m and 82.42 m.
Q.No.17: The sports teacher decides to organize a cricket tournament in the
school. Students are asked to practice well for their selection in either of the
teams which results in a shortage of sports equipment. A cricket stump along
with other necessary tools are to be ordered. A cricket stump comprises a
cylinder with a cone attached to its base. The diameter of the stum is 3 cm.
The height of the cylindrical part of the stump is 35 cm and the height of its
conical part is 4 cm.
2 2 2
⇒ l = (3) + (4)
2
⇒ l = 9 + 16
2
⇒ l = 25
⇒ l = 5 cm
Hence, the slant height of the conical part of the cricket stump is 5 cm.
(b) The slant height and radius of the conical part of the stump is 5 cm and 3
cm respectively.
∴ CSA of conical part of stump=πrl

⇒ 264 = 64 + (n − 1)4
⇒ 4 (n − 1) = 200
⇒ n − 1 = 50
⇒ n = 51
Hence, the 51st carpet has perimeter 264 m.
(d) Here, n = 51, a51 = 264.
Then,
S51 = 2 (a + l)
n

(64 + 264)

Hence, 8364 m of thread is required to make the borders of 51 carpets in a
day.
