SECTION – A
Questions 1 to 10 carry 1 mark each.

1. What is the value of (256)0.16 X (256)0.09?

(a) 4 (b) 16 (c) 64 (d) 256.25
Ans: (a) 4
(256)0.16 x (256)0.09 = (256)(0.16 + 0.09)
= (256)0.25 = (256)(25/100) = (256)(1/4) = (44)(1/4) = 44(1/4) = 4

2. √6 x √27 is equal to:

(a) 9√2 (b) 3√3 (c) 2√2 (d) 9√3
Ans: (a) 9√2
6  27  2  3  3  3  3 = (3 × 3)√2 = 9√2

3. The value of √10 times √15 is equal to

(a) 5√6 (b) √25 (c) 10√5 (d) √5
Ans: (a) 5√6
√10×√15 =(√2.√5)×(√3. √5) = (√5 × √5) (√2 × √3) = 5√6.

4. The value of f(x) = 5x − 4x2 + 3 when x = -1, is:

(a) 3 (b) -12 (c) -6 (d) 6
Ans: (c) -6
f(x) = 5x − 4x2 + 3
f(−1) = 5(−1) − 4(−1)2 + 3 =−5 – 4 + 3 =−6

5. One of the linear factors of 3x2 + 8x + 5 is

(a) (x + 1) (b) (x – 2) (c) (x + 2) (d) (x – 4)
Ans: (a) (x + 1)
3x2 + 8x + 5 = 3x2 + 3x + 5x + 5 = 3x(x + 1) + 5(x + 1) = (3x + 5)(x + 1)
Therefore, (x+1) is one of the factors of 3x2+8x+5.

6. The coefficient of x in the expansion of (x – 3)3 is

(a) 1 (b) 9 (c) 18 (d) 27
Ans: (d) 27
(x – 3)3 = x3 – (3)3 – 3 × x × 3(x – 3)
= x3 – 27 – 9x(x – 3) = x3 – 27 – 9x2 + 27x
7. Points (1, -1), (2, -2), (4, -5), (-3, -4)

 (c) Third quadrant (d) Fourth quadrant
Ans: (b) Do not lie in the same quadrant

8. Point (3, 4) lies on the graph of the equation 3y = kx + 7. The value of k is:
(a) 4/3 (b) 5/3 (c) 3 (d) 7/3
Ans: (b) 5/3
(3 × 4) = (k x 3) + 7 ⇒ 12 = 3k+7
⇒ 3k = 12 – 7 ⇒ 3k = 5 ⇒ k = 5/3
In the following questions 9 and 10, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of
Reason (R). Choose the correct answer out of the following choices.
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true.

9. Assertion (A): 2 + √3 is an irrational number.

Reason (R): Sum of a rational number and an irrational numbers is always an irrational number.
Ans: (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

10. Assertion (A): The point (-2, 0) lies on y -axis and (0, 4) on x -axis.
Reason (R): Every point on the x -axis has zero distance from x -axis and every point on the y -
axis has zero distance from y -axis.
Ans: We know that Every point on the x -axis has zero distance from x -axis and every point on
the y -axis has zero distance from y -axis.
So, Reason is correct.
Now, point (-2, 0) lies on x-axis and (0, 4) on y-axis
So, Assertion is not correct
Correct option is (d) Assertion (A) is false but reason (R) is true.

SECTION – B
Questions 11 to 14 carry 2 marks each.
11. Find two different irrational numbers between the rational numbers 5/7 and 9/11.
Ans: The given two rational numbers are 5/7 and 9/11.
5/7 = 0.714285714….. and 9/11 = 0.81818181……
Hence, the three irrational numbers between 5/7 and 9/11 can be:
0.730730073000… and 0.808008000…

12. Find the value of the polynomial 5x – 4x2 + 3 at x = 2 and x = –1.

Ans: Let the polynomial be f(x) = 5x – 4x2 + 3
Now, for x = 2, f(2) = 5(2) – 4(2)2 + 3 ⇒ f(2) = 10 – 16 + 3 = –3
Or, the value of the polynomial 5x – 4x2 + 3 at x = 2 is -3.
Similarly, for x = –1, f(–1) = 5(–1) – 4(–1)2 + 3
⇒ f(–1) = –5 –4 + 3 = -6
The value of the polynomial 5x – 4x2 + 3 at x = -1 is -6.

13. Find the value of 9x2 + 4y2 if xy = 6 and 3x + 2y = 12.

Ans: Consider the equation 3x + 2y = 12
Now, square both sides:
(3x + 2y)2 = 122 ⇒ 9x2 + 12xy + 4y2 = 144 ⇒ 9x2 + 4y2 = 144 – 12xy
From the questions, xy = 6
So, 9x2 + 4y2 = 144 – 72
Thus, the value of 9x2 + 4y2 = 72

14. Without plotting the points indicate the quadrant in which they will lie, if
(i) the ordinate is 5 and abscissa is – 3
(ii) the abscissa is – 5 and ordinate is – 3
(iii) the abscissa is – 5 and ordinate is 3
(iv) the ordinate is 5 and abscissa is 3
Ans: (i) The point is (-3,5). Hence, the point lies in the II quadrant.
(ii) The point is (-5,-3). Hence, the point lies in the III quadrant.
(iii) The point is (-5,3). Hence, the point lies in the II quadrant.
(iv) The point is (3,5). Hence, the point lies in the I quadrant.

SECTION – C
Questions 15 to 17 carry 3 marks each.
15. Locate √3 on the number line. Write steps also.
Ans: Construct BD of unit length perpendicular to OB (here, OA = AB = 1 unit) as shown in the
figure.

By Pythagoras theorem, OD = √(2 + 1) = √3

Taking O as the centre and OD as radius, draw an arc which intersects the number line at the
point Q using a compass.
Therefore, Q corresponds to the value of √3 on the number line.

16. Show that the points A (1, 2), B ( – 1, – 16) and C (0, – 7) lie on the graph of the linear equation
y = 9x – 7.
Ans: We have the equation, y = 9x – 7
For A (1, 2), Substituting (x,y) = (1, 2),
We get, 2 = 9(1) – 7 ⇒ 2 = 9 – 7 ⇒ 2 = 2
For B (–1, –16), Substituting (x,y) = (–1, –16),
We get, –16 = 9(–1) – 7 ⇒ -16 = – 9 – 7 ⇒ -16 = – 16
For C (0, –7), Substituting (x,y) = (0, –7),
We get, – 7 = 9(0) – 7 ⇒ -7 = 0 – 7 ⇒ -7 = – 7
Hence, the points A (1, 2), B (–1, –16) and C (0, –7) satisfy the line y = 9x – 7.
Thus, A (1, 2), B (–1, –16) and C (0, –7) are solutions of the linear equation y = 9x – 7
Therefore, points A (1, 2), B (–1, –16), C (0, –7) lie on the graph of linear equation y = 9x – 7.

 SECTION – D
Questions 18 carry 5 marks.
18. Find the value of x + y + z – 3xyz if x2 + y2 + z2 = 83 and x + y + z = 15
3 3 3

Ans: Consider the equation x + y + z = 15

From algebraic identities, we know that (a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2(ab + bc + ca)
So, (x + y + z)2 = x2 + y2 + z2 + 2(xy + yz + xz)
From the question, x2 + y2 + z2 = 83 and x + y + z = 15
So, 152 = 83 + 2(xy + yz + xz)
⇒ 225 – 83 = 2(xy + yz + xz)
⇒ xy + yz + xz = 142/2 = 71
Using algebraic identity a³ + b³ + c³ – 3abc = (a + b + c)(a² + b² + c² – ab – bc – ca),
x3 + y3 + z3 – 3xyz = (x + y + z)(x² + y² + z² – (xy + yz + xz))
Now, x + y + z = 15, x² + y² + z² = 83 and xy + yz + xz = 71
So, x3 + y3 + z3 – 3xyz = 15(83 – 71)
⇒ x3 + y3 + z3 – 3xyz = 15 × 12
⇒ x3 + y3 + z3 – 3xyz = 180

20. Sanjay bought 5 notebooks and 2 pens for Rs. 120. He told to guess the cost of each notebook
and pen to his friends Mohan and Anil. Sanjay has given the clue that both the costs are positive
integers and divisible by 5 such that the cost of a notebook is greater than that of a pen.

Now, Mohan and Anil tried to guess.

Mohan said that price of each notebook could be Rs. 18. Then five notebooks would cost Rs.90,
the two pens would cost Rs.30 and each pen could be for Rs. 15.
Anil felt that Rs. 18 for one notebook was too little. It should be at least Rs. 20. Then the price of
each pen would also be Rs.10.
(i) Form the linear equations in two variables from this situation by taking cost of one notebook
as Rs. x and cost of one pen as Rs. y. (1)
(ii) If the cost of one notebook is Rs. 15 and cost of one pen is 10, then find the total amount. (1)
(iii) If the cost of one notebook is twice the cost of one pen, then find the cost of one pen?
(iv) Write the standard form of linear equations y = 4 in two variable.
Ans: (i) Here, the cost of one notebook be Rs. x and that of pen be Rs. y.
According to the statement, we have 5x + 2y = 120
(ii) Rs. 95
(iii) Rs. 10
(iv) 0.x + 1.y – 4 = 0
