 Solution

Section A
1. Question 1 Choose the correct answers to the questions from the given options:
(i) (a) 18%
Explanation: {
C.P. = ₹ 25,000, CGST = ₹ 2250
∴ GST = 2 × ₹ 2250 = ₹ 4500

let rate of GST = r%

∴ r% of ₹ 25,000 = ₹ 4500

⇒ r = (4500 × 100 ) ÷ 25000 = 18%

(ii) (a) ad ≠ bc
Explanation: {
Given equation is
x2(a2 + b2) + 2x(ac + bd) + (c2 + d2) = 0
On comparing it with Ax2 + Bx + C = 0 we get
A = (a2 + b2), B = 2(ac + bd) and C = c2 + d2
Now, discriminant, D = B2 - 4AC
= 4(ac + bd)2 - 4(a2 + b2)(c2 + d2)
= 4[(ac + bd)2 - (a2 + b2)(c2 + d2)]
= 4 (a2c2 + b2d2 + 2acbd - a2c2 - a2d2 - b2c2 - b2d2)
= 4(2acbd - a2d2 - b2c2)
= - 4(a2d2 + b2c2 - 2adbc) = - 4(ad - be)2
Clearly, when ad ≠ bc, then (ad - bc)2 > 0
⇒ -4(ad - bc)2 < 0 ⇒ D< 0
Hence, the given equation has no real roots.
(iii) (d) 3
Explanation: {
f(x) = 2x3 + 6x2 - (2k - 7)x + 5
g(x) = x + 3
Remainder = k - 1
If x + 3 = 0, then x = -3
∴ Remainder will be
f(-3) = 2(-3)3 + 6(-3)2 - (2k - 7) (-3) + 5
= -54 + 54 + 3(2k - 7) + 5
= -54 + 54 + 6k - 21 + 5 = 6k - 16
∴ 6k - 16 = k - 1

6k - k = -1 + 16 ⇒ 5k = 15
15
⇒ k = =3
5

∴ k=3
(iv) 2 2 1 1
(d) A = [ ]B = [ ]
2 2 −1 −1

Explanation: {
From this option, we have
2 2 1 1
A= [ ] and B = [ ]
2 2 −1 −1

Then, A ≠ O, B ≠ O
 2 2 1 1
Now, AB = [ ][ ]
2 2 −1 −1

2 × 1 + 2(−1) 2 × 1 + 2(−1) 0 0
= [ ] =[ ]= 0
2 × 1 + 2(−1) 2 × 1 + 2(−1) 0 0

(v) (c) 2006

Explanation: {
Let the five integers be a - 2d, a - d, a, a + d, a + 2d. Then, we have
(a - 2d) + (a - d) + a + (a + d) + (a + 2d) = 10020
⇒ 5a = 10020

⇒ a = 2004

Now, as smallest possible value of d is 1.

∴ Smallest possible value of a + 2d = 2004 + 2 = 2006

(vi) (a) (-3, -2)

Explanation: {
Clearly, point P will be the reflection of (-3, 2) in the X-axis. Thus, (-3, -2) is the required point.

∴ PE = √17 cm

Thus, DE = DP + PE = 2√17 + √17 = 3√17 cm
(viii) (c) 489.84 cm2
Explanation: {
According to the given information, a shape of figure is shown below

When the hanging pipes touches the surface paper, a circular shape ABCD is formed on the graph paper. The size of
circle ABCD is equal to the size of circular base of the cone.
 ∴ Radius of the circle ABCD is 6 cm.
Hence, the coordinates of A, B, C and Dare (6, 0), (0, 6), (-6, 0) and (0, -6), respectively.
The figure formed in the given information is cylindrical in outer surface and conical in the inner surface. Now, total

Explanation: {
Let the third vertex of an equilateral triangle be (x, y).
Then, vertices of triangles are A (- 4, 3), B(4, 3) and C(x, y)
We know that in equilateral triangle, the angle between two adjacent sides is 60° and all three sides are equal.
∴ AB = BC = CA
 ⇒ AB2 = BC2 = CA2...(i)
Now, taking first two terms, AB2 = BC2
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−

⇒ 64 + 0 = x2 + 16 - 8x + y2 + 9 - 6y [∵ (a - b)2 = a2 + b2 - 2ab]
⇒ x2 + y2 - 8x - 6y = 39 ...(ii)
Now, taking first and third terms, AB2 = CA2
⇒ (4 + 4)2 + (3 - 3)2 = (- 4 - x)2 + (3 - y)2
⇒ 64 + 0 = 16 + x2 + 8x + 9 + y2 - 6y
⇒ x2 + y2 + 8x - 6y = 39 ...(iii)
On subtracting Eq. (ii) from Eq. (iii), we get

⇒ x=0
Now, putting the vatue of x in Eq. (ii), we get
0 + y2 - 0 - 6y = 39
⇒ y2 - 6y - 39 = 0

So, the points of third vertex are (0, 3 + 4√3) or (0, 3 - 4√3).
But given that, the origin lies in the interior of the △ABC and the x-coordinate of third vertex is zero. Then, y-
coordinate of third vertex should be negative.

– –
Hence, the required coordinates of third vertex are C(0, 3 - 4√3) [∵ C ≠ (0, 3 + 4√3]

(xiii) (a) 2(√3 + 1)r
Explanation: {
As PQR is an equilateral triangle, hence PS will be perpendicular to QP and will divide it into 2 equal parts.
Since, ∠ P and ∠ S will be supplementary, so
∠ S = 120o and ∠ QSA = ∠ RSA = 60o
Now, PA = PQ cos 30o and OA = OQ sin 30o = r

 ⇒ AS = OA = r

Since, AQ = AR, AS is common and ∠ QAS = ∠ RAS = 90o

So, QS = RS.

∴ Perimeter of PQSP = 2(PQ + QS) = 2(√3 + 1)r

(xiv) (c) 12
Explanation: {
Given, 10 boys brought 11 books each, therefore total number of books brought by 10 boys = 10 × 11 = 110
Also, as 6 girls brought 13 books each.
∴ Total number of books brought by 6 girls = 6 × 13 = 78

Clearly, the remaining number of students = 4

Now, let the number of books brought by 4 students be x.
Then, x ≥ 10 [∵ no two students brought the same number of books]
Thus, the average number of books brought in the class
x+78+110
= 20

It is given that, average number of books brought in the class is a positive integer, therefore the minimum value of x
is 12.
(xv) (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

And their common difference is divided by abc since numbers are also divided by abc.
So, if a, b, c are in AP and you divide the numbers by their product abc they will remain in AP.

i. Total S.I. = 2400
p×6×24×25
⇒ 975 =

⇒ 975 = 1.5P
975
⇒ P= 1.5

⇒ P = ₹ 650
Hence, monthly instalment of Aarav will be ₹ 650
 ii. m.v. = Total amount deposit + Total S.I.
= (Monthly deposit × no. of months) + Total S.I.
= (P × n) + 975
= (650 × 24) + 975
= 15,600 + 975
m.v. = ₹ 16,575
Hence, the maturity amount will be ₹ 16,575.​​

(ii) Let two successive multiples of 4 be x and (x + 4).
According to question:
⇒ x(x + 4) = x + 28

⇒ x2 + 9x - x - 28 = 0
⇒ x2 + 3x - 28 = 0
x2 + 7x - 4x - 28 = 0
⇒ x(x + 7) - 4(x + 7) = 0

⇒ (x - 4) (x + 7) = 0

x=4
Hence, two successive multiples of 4 are 4 and 8.​​

(i) 5 −6 6 y 3 −2
3[ ]− [ ] = 3[ ]
4 x 0 6 4 0

15 −18 6 y 9 −6
⇒ [ ]− [ ] =[ ]
12 3x 0 6 12 0

9 −18 − y 9 −6
[ ]= [ ]
12 3x − 6 12 0

Now, equating the elements.

3x - 6 = 0
or 3x = 6
x= =2 6

- 18 - y = - 6
- y = - 6 + 18
y = -12
Hence x = 2 and y = -12.
(ii)

∠AP B + ∠BP C = 180o (linear pair)

∠ BPC = 180 - ∠ APB

= 180 - 120
∠ BPC = 60o
Now, ∠ BCP + ∠ BPC + ∠ PBC = 180o {Angle sum porp. of △}
∠ BCP = 180o - 60o - 25o
∠BCP = 95o
Now,
∠ ADB = ∠ ACB = 95o {angle in the same segment}
∠ BCP = 95o
Hence b = 95o
(iii)y - p = 0, y = p
By factor theorem, if (y - p) is a factor of f(y), then f(p) = 0
Now, f(p) = 0
(p)2 + a × p + b = 0
p2 + ap + b = 0
p2 = -ap - b ...(i)
 And, g(p) = 0 (∵ y - p is a common factor)
p2 + m × p + n = 0
p2 + mp + n = 0
p2 = -mp - n ...(ii)
From equation (i) and (ii)
⇒ -ap - b = -mp - n

⇒ -(ap + b) = -(mp + n)

ap - mp = n - b
p(a - m) = n - b
n−b
∴ p =
a−m

​Hence proved.

(i) Let the vertices of triangle be A(3, 4), B(-2, 5) and C(x3, y3)
Let Q(6, -1) be the centroid of triangle.

Centroid = 3

b =

⇒ 1 + x3 = 18
∴ x3 = 17
4+5+y3
−1 =

⇒ 9 + y3 = -3
∴ y3 = -12
Hence, third vertex of triangle is C(17, -12).​​

= cos A + sin A = RHS

Hence Proved.​​
(iii)Given,
a2 = a + (n - 1)d
⇒ 13 = a + (2 - 1)d
⇒ a + d = 13 ...(i)

Again a5 = a + (n - 1)d
⇒ 25 = a + (5 - 1)d
⇒ a + 4d = 25 ...(ii)
On solving equation (i) and (ii), we get

d=4
put the value of d in equation (i)
a + d = 13
a + 4 = 13
∴ a = 9
 a7 = a + (n - 1)d
= 9 + (7 - 1)4 = 9 + 24 = 33
Hence, the 7th term of an A.P. is 33.​​

New speed = (x - 200) km/h
Duration of flight at original speed = ( 600

Duration of flight at reduced speed = ( x−200

⇒ = 1
⇒
120000

x(x−200) 2 x2 −200x 2

⇒ x2 - 200x - 240000 = 0
⇒ x2 - 600x + 400x - 240000 = 0 [splitting the middle term]
⇒ x(x2 - 600) + 400(x - 600) = 0
⇒ (x - 600) (x + 400) = 0
⇒ x - 600 = 0 or x + 400 = 0
⇒ x = 600 or x = - 400

∴ x = 600 [∵ speed cannot be negative]

So, the original speed of the aircraft was 600 km/h.

600 600
Hence, duration of flight = x
h= 600
h = 1h

∵ cost of levelling 1 m2 = ₹ 0.30

Hence, cost of levelling the play ground be ₹475.2.​​

Length of actual building = 60 (Length of building on the model) = 60 × 1 m

∴ Length of actual building = 60 m

Similarly, breadth of actual building = (Breadth of building on the model)
