Q. 36 The marathon is a long-distance foot race with a
distance of 42.195 km, usually run as a road race, but
the distance can be covered on trail routes. The
marathon can be completed by running or with a
run/walk strategy. The marathon was one of the
original modern Olympic events in 1896.
Neha, a student of class X, wishes to participate in a
marathon. She decided to begin her practice by
gradually increasing her running distance. In the first week, she decided to run 3 km each day
and increase the distance by 2 km each week, i.e., in the second week she would run 5 km each
day,in the third week she would run 7 km each day and so on.
Based on the above information, answer the following questions:
() What distance willNeha cover on each day of the 8th week of her practice? 1

(ii) In which week would she be able to run 45 km each day? 1

(ii) (A) What is the total distance covered by Neha after 11 weeks, if she practised for 5 2
days in each week?

OR

(B) weeks
Had she increased the distance by 3km each week instead of 2km each week, in how many
would she have trained herself to run 42 km per day?

Q. 37 Metallic silos are used by farmers for storing grains. Farmer Girdhar
has decided to build a new metallicsilo to store his harvested grains. 2 m
is in the shape of a cylinder mounted by a cone. 1.5 m

Dimensions of the conical part of a silo are as follows: 7 m

Radius of the base=1.5m, Height = 2 m

Dimensions of the cylindrical part of a silo are as follows:
Radius = 1.5 m, Height 7 m
Based on the above information, answer the following questions:
( Calculate the slant height of the conical part of one silo. 1
(ii) Find the curved surface area of the conical part of one silo. 1

(ii) (A) Find the cost of the metal sheet used to make the curved cylindrical part of one silo at the 2
rate of 2000 per m.
OR
(B) Find the total capacity of one silo to store grains.

Q. 38 A student of Class X standard observing a girl ofheight 120

cm walking away from the base of lamp-post at a speed of
2.0 m/s. If the lamp is 5 m above and x be the length of her
shadow after 6 seconds. Give answer to his questions by
looking at the figure.
B
(i) Find the distance of the girl fromn the lamp- post after 6 seconds. 1
(iü) Which is the correct similarity criteria for AABO and ACDE? 1

(iii) (A)After how many seconds will the length of the girl's shadow be half of her height?
OR

(B)Find the length of her shadow after 6 seconds.
