ANSWER

SECTION A
1. (c)
2. (a) false
3. (a)
4. (a)
5. (1 + tan2 )(1 + sin )(1 - sin ) =sec2 (1 – sin2 )
= sec2 cos2
=1
6. 9
7. 1
8. √3
SECTION B
2 2 2 2
9. sec + cosec = sec .cosec
taking LHS
=1/cos2 + 1/sin2
= (sin2 + cos2 )/sin2 cos2
= 1/sin2 cos2
= sec2 .cosec2
= RHS
10. cot + tan = cosec sec
Taking LHS
= cos /sin + sin /cos
2 2
= (cos + sin )/sin cos
= 1/sin cos
= cosec sec
= RHS

11. Cos 2 = ½.√3/2 + ½.√3/2

= √3/4 + √3/4
= 2√3/4
= √3/2
= cos 300
2 = 300
= 150
12. A = 450 B = 150
SECTION C
13. Taking LHS
(1 + tan2 ) + (1 + 1/ tan2 )
= sec2 + (1 + cot2 )
= sec2 + cosec2

14. Square both equation and add
15. tan A = n tan B and sin A = m sin B, prove that cos2 A = (m2 – 1)/(n2 – 1)
tan A/tan B = n
sin A cos B/ cos A sin B = n
but sin A / Sin B = m
m cos B / cos A = n
 cos B / cos A = n/m
m cos B = n cos A
squaring both sides
m2 cos2 B = n2 cos2 A
n2 cos2 A = m2 (1 – sin2 B)
n2cos2 A = m2 (1 – sin2 A/m2)
n2 cos2 A = m2– sin2 A
n2 cos2 A = m2 – 1 + cos2 A
n2 cos2 A – cos2 A = m2 – 1
cos2 A ( n2 – 1 ) = ( m2 – 1)
cos2 A= (m2 – 1)/(n2 – 1)
proved

16. If A, B, C are interior angles of ∆ABC

To prove
Sec2(B + C)/2 – 1 = cot2A/2
In ∆ABC
A + B + C = 1800
A + B = 180 – C
(A + B)/2 = 180/2 – C/2
Sec2 (A + B)/2 = Sec 2 (90 – C/2)
Sec2 (A + B)/2 - 1 = Sec 2 (90 – C/2) – 1
Sec2 (A + B)/2 – 1 = tan2 (90 – C/2)
Sec2 (A + B)/2 – 1 = cot2 C/2

SECTION D
17. Convert to sin and cos we get the answer
18. 25x2 = sec2 and 25/x2 = tan2
So 25x2 - 25/x2 = sec2 - tan2
25 (x2 - 1/x2) = 1
So 5(x2 - 1/x2) = 1/5
19. cos θ - sin θ = √2 sin θ then prove that cos θ + sin θ = √2 cos θ
given
cos θ - sin θ = √2 sin θ
squaring both sides
cos2 θ + sin2 θ – 2 sin θ cos θ = 2 sin2 θ
cos2 θ = sin2 θ + 2 sin θ cos θ
2cos2 θ = sin2 θ + cos2 θ + 2 sin θ cos θ
(√2 cos θ)2 = (sin θ + cos θ )2
√2 cos θ = sin θ + cos θ

20. sin θ cos θ - sin θ cos(90 – θ) cos θ/ sec(90 – θ) - cos θ sin(90 – θ) sin θ/ cosec(90 – θ)
= sin θ cos θ - sin θ sin θ cos θ/cosec θ - cos θ cos θ sin θ/sec θ
= sin θ cos θ – sin2θ cos θ/cosec θ – cos2θ sin θ/sec θ
 = sin θ cos θ – sin3θ cos θ – cos3θ sin θ
= sin θ cos θ – sin θ cos θ (sin2θ + cos2θ)
= sin θ cos θ – sin θ cos θ
=0

CHAPTER 14 - STATISTICS
Section A Q.1 to Q. 2 are multiple choice questions. Select the most appropriate answer from the
given options. [1 mark each]

Q.1 If the class marks of a continuous frequency distribution are 22,30,38,46,54,62, then the

class corresponding to the class mark 46 is

(a) 41.5-49.5 (b) 42-50 (c) 41-49 (d) 41-50

Q.2 In a grouped frequency distribution, the mid-values of the classes are used to measure

which of the following central tendency?

(a) median (b) mode (c) mean (d) all of these

Q3 to Q4 Fill in the blanks: [1 mark each]

Q.3 The class with maximum frequency is called the …………………. .

Q.4 An approximate relation between three measure ,mean, median and mode of central

tendency of a statistical data is given by the formula :

Mode = …………………………………….. .

SECTION-B Question number 5 to 7 carry 2 marks each.

Q.5 If the mean of the following data is 18.75, find the value of p

xi 10 15 p 25 30
fi 5 10 7 8 2
Q.6 Find the mode of the following distribution:

Class interval 0-10 10-20 20-30 30-40 40-50

frequency 2 12 22 8 6

SECTION-C Question number 8 to 9 carry 3 mark each

Q.7 A survey conducted on 20 households in a locality by a group of students resulted in the

following frequency table for the number of family members in a household:

Family size 1-3 3-5 5-7 7-9 9-11

No.of families 7 8 2 2 1

Find the mode of this data. What is the advantage of keeping family size under control?

Daily wages (in Rs) 0-50 60-110 120-170 180-230 240-290

No. of labors 10 15 12 20 13

Q.10 The median of the following data is 50. Find the value of p and q, if the sum of all

Frequencies is 90.

Marks 20-30 30-40 40-50 50-60 60-70 70-80 80-90

frequency p 15 25 20 q 8 10

ANSWER SHEET

Q.1. (b) 42-50

Q.2. (c) mean

Q.3. modal class

Q.4. mode = 3 median -2 mean

Q.5. p = 20

Q.6. mode =24.17 approx.

Q.7. mode = 3.286 (approx.);

By keeping the family size under control, the population problem will not arise and the country
will progress rapidly.

Q.8. mean = 196.8

Q.9 median=Rs165
Q.10 p = 5 and q = 7
