SECTION – A
Questions 1 to 20 carry 1 mark each.

1. Ans: (d) 176 cm

Horse can graze in the field which is a circle of radius 28 cm.
So, required perimeter = 2πr = 2π (28) cm = 2 × 22/7 × 28 cm = 176 cm

2. Ans. (c) BC.DE = AB.EF

3. Ans: (b) 20 : 27

4. Ans: (b) 17.5

5. Ans: (c) 30-40

6. Ans. (d) (3, 0)

7. Ans. (a) (0, 0)

8. Ans: (a) 3

9. Ans. (d) a = 0, b = –6

10. Ans: (b) 4 cm

∵ Tangent is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact.

11. Ans: (c) 30 cm

∠OQA = ∠OPA = 90° and OQ = OP [Radii]

∴ OQAP is a square.
⇒ AP = 14cm

∴ BS = 39 - 23 = 16cm
Now, CR = CS = 23 cm [Tangents from an external point to a circle are equal]

And BS = BP = 16 cm [Tangents from an external point to a circle are equal]

Now, AB = AP + BP = 14 + 16 = 30cm

12. Ans: (c) 3, 420

Here, 12 = 22 × 3
21 = 3 × 7
15 = 3 × 5
So, HCF = 3; LCM = 22 × 3 × 7 i.e., 420

13. Ans: (c) 194400

Let the HCF of the numbers be x and their LCM be y.
It is given that the sum of the HCF and LCM is 1260, therefore
x + y = 1260 ....(i)
And, LCM is 900 more than HCF.
y = x + 900..... (ii)

⇒ 2x + 900 = 1260
Substituting (ii) in (i), we get x + x + 900 =1260

Page - 1 -
 ⇒ 2x = 1260 - 900 ⇒ 2x = 360 ⇒ x = 180

y = 180 + 900 ⇒ y = 1080

Substituting x = 180 in (1), we get:

We also know that the product the two numbers is equal to the product of their LCM and HCF
Thus, product of the numbers = 1080(180) = 194400

14. Ans: (d) Four times

15. Ans: (d) 12/5

16. Ans: (a) 3/13

Total number of outcomes = 52
Number of face cards = 12
The probability of its being a face card = 12/52 = 3/13

17. Ans. (a) 3150 cm2

18. Ans: (b) 3/4

19. Ans: (c) Assertion (A) is true but reason(R) is false.

⇒ LCM x 5 = 150
LCM(a, b) x HCF(a, b) =a x b

⇒ LCM = 150/5 = 30 ⇒ LCM = 30

20. Ans: (b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A

SECTION-B
Questions 21 to 25 carry 2M each

21. Ans: We know that the lengths of the tangents drawn from an external point to the circle are equal.
DR = DS ...... (i)
BP = BQ ...... (ii)
AP = AS ...... (iii)
CR = CQ ...... (iv)
Adding (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), we get DR + BP + AP + CR = DS + BQ + AS + CQ
By rearranging the terms we get,

⇒ CD + AB = BC + AD
(DR + CR) + (BP + AP) = (CQ + BQ) + (DS + AS)

Hence it is proved AB + CD = AD + BC.

∠APC = ∠DPB (Vertically opposite angles)

22. Ans: (i) Consider Δs APC and DPB

Also, ∠CAP = ∠PDB (Angles made by the same arc CB)

So, by AA similarity criteria,
ΔAPC ~ ΔDPB.
(ii) Corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional
∴

⇒ AP.PB = CP.DP
OR
If in the given above right sided figure, AB || DE and BD || EF, then prove that DC2 = CF x AC

Ans: ΔABC in which DE || AB and BD || EF.

In ∆ABC, DE || AB

Page - 2 -
 ⇒ ...(i) [Basic proportionality theorem]
Again in ∆CDB, EF || BD
⇒ ...(ii) [BPT]
From (i) and (ii), we get

23. Ans: If
On equating both sides

On equating both sides

Adding (1) and (2),we get 2A = 900 ⇒ A = 450

450 + B = 600 ⇒ B = 150

Putting value of A in (i)

24. Ans: For infinitely many solutions the condition is

Now, 2(m + 1) = 3(m – 1) ⇒ m = 5

and 3(3m – 1) = 7(m + 1) ⇒ m = 5
Hence, for m = 5, the system has infinitely many solutions.

∴ Distance moved by its tip = 4(circumference of a circle of radius 4 cm)

25. Ans: In 2 days, the short hand will complete 4 rounds.

∴ Distance moved by its tip = 48(circumference of a circle of radius 6 cm)

In 2 days, the long hand will complete 48 rounds.

Hence, sum of distances moved by the tips of two hands of the clock
= 1910.85 cm
OR
Ans: Here, r = 21 cm, θ = 120°
Area of a sector =

∴ Total area cleaned by two wipers

= 462 cm2

= 2 × 462 = 924 cm2

 SECTION-C
Questions 26 to 31 carry 3 marks each

26. Ans: Step measures of three persons are 40 cm, 42 cm and 45 cm.
The minimum distance each should walk so that each can cover the same distance in complete steps
is the LCM of 40 cm, 42 cm and 45 cm.
Prime factorisation of 40, 42 and 45 gives
40 = 23 × 5, 42 = 2 × 3 × 7, 45 = 32 × 5
LCM (40, 42, 45) = Product of the greatest power of each prime factor involved in the numbers
= 23 × 32 × 5 × 7 = 8 × 9 × 35 = 72 × 35 = 2520 cm.
OR
Ans: Let 5 + 2√7 is a rational number such that
5 + 2√7 = a, where a is a rational number
⇒ 2√7 = a – 5 ⇒

Since a is a rational number and 2, 5 are integers, therefore is a rational number

⇒ √7 is a rational number which contradicts the fact that √7 is an irrational number
Therefore, our assumption is wrong
Hence, 5 + 2√7 is an irrational number

27. Ans: Let P(x, y) be the point on the line 2x + y – 4 = 0 dividing the line segment joining the points
A(2, –2) and B(3, 7) in the ratio k : 1.

∴ The coordinate of P are

Since, point (x, y) lies on the line 2x + y = 4.

⇒ 13k + 2 = 4k + 4 ⇒ 9k = 2 ⇒ k = 2/9
Thus, required ratio is 2 : 9.

28. Ans: Join OP and let it meets the circle at point Q.

⇒ OQ = QP = r
Since OP = 2r (Diameter of the circle)

Consider ΔAOP in which OA ⊥ AP and OP is the hypotenuse.

∴ OQ = AQ = OA

⇒ OAQ is an equilateral triangle.

(Mid-point of the hypotenuse is equidistant from the vertices)

⇒ ∠AOQ = 60° (Each angle of an equilateral triangle is 60°)

∠AOQ = 60° (Proved above)

Consider right-angled triangle OAP.

∠OAP = 90° ⇒ ∠APO = 30°

∠APB = 2∠APO = 2 × 30° = 60°

⇒ ∠PAB = ∠PBA (Angles opposite to equal sides in ΔPAB)

Also PA = PB (Tangents to a circle from an external point are equal.)

In ΔABP, ∠APB = 60°

⇒ ∠PAB = ∠PBA =
⇒ Each angle of DPAB is 60°
⇒ PAB is an equilateral triangle.
OR

 Ans: Let AD = x1, BE = x2 and CF = x3;
then AF = AD = x1, BD = BE = x2

∴ x1 + x2 = 12; x2 + x3 = 8; x1 + x3 = 10 (1)
and CE = CF = x3.

Adding,

⇒ x1 + x2 + x3 = 15
2(x1 + x2 + x3) = 30

Solve for x1, x2 and x3 to get

AD = 7 cm, BE = 5 cm, CF = 3 cm

jacks, 2 queens, 2 kings, 2 aces) ∴ Remaining cards = 52 – 8 = 44

29. Ans: From the total playing 52 cards, red coloured jacks, queen, kings and aces are removed(i.e., 2

∴ Probability of drawing a black queen = 2/44 = 1/22

(i) Favourable cases for a black queen are 2 (i.e., queen of club or spade)

(ii) Favourable cases for red cards are 26 – 8 = 18 (as 8 cards have been removed) (i.e.9 diamonds + 9

∴ Probability of drawing a red card = 18/44 = 9/22

hearts)

∴ Probability of drawing a face card = 6/44 = 3/22

(iii) Favourable cases for a face card are 6 (i.e. 2 black jacks, queens and kings each)

30. Ans: Since a, b are the zeroes of 2x2 – 5x + 7

∴a+b= = and ab =
The given zeroes of required polynomial are 2a + 3b and 3a + 2b
Sum of the zeroes = 2a + 3b + 3a + 2b = 5a + 5b = 5(a + b) = 5 × =
Again, product of the zeroes = (2a + 3b) (3a + 2b) = 6 (a2 + b2) + 13ab
= 6 [(a + b)2 – 2ab)] + 13 ab = 6(a + b)2 + ab
= 6(5/2)2 + 7/2 = 75/2 + 7/2 = 82/2 = 41
Now, required polynomial is given by
k [x2 – (Sum of the zeroes) x + Product of the zeroes] = k [ x2 – x + 41]

= , where k is any non-zero real number.

Hence the required polynomial is .

Ans:

33. Ans: Let time taken by faster pipe to fill the cistern be x hrs.
Therefore, time taken by slower pipe to fill the cistern = (x + 3) hrs
Since the faster pipe takes x minutes to fill the cistern.
∴ Portion of the cistern filled by the faster pipe in one hour =

Portion of the cistern filled by the slower pipe in one hour =

Portion of the cistern filled by the two pipes together in one hour =

According to question,

⇒ 40 (2x + 3) = 13x (x + 3) ⇒ 80x + 120 = 13x2 + 39x

⇒ 13x2 – 41x – 120 = 0 ⇒ 13x2 – 65x + 24x – 120 = 0
⇒ 13x (x – 5) + 24 (x – 5) = 0 ⇒ (x – 5) (13x + 24) = 0

⇒ x = 5 as x = −24/13 not possible.

Either x – 5 = 0 or 13x + 24 = 0

Hence, the time taken by the two pipes is 5 hours and 8 hours respectively.
OR
Ans: Let the present age of Zeba be x years.
Age before 5 years = (x – 5) years

⇒ x2 + 25 – 10x = 5x + 11 ⇒ x2 – 10x – 5x + 25 – 11 = 0
According to given condition, (x – 5)2 = 5x + 11

⇒ x2 – 15x + 14 = 0 ⇒ x2 – 14x – x + 14 = 0
⇒ x (x – 14) – 1 (x – 14) = 0 ⇒ (x – 1) (x – 14) = 0
⇒ x – 1 = 0 or x – 14 = 0
⇒ x = 1 or x = 14
But present age cannot be 1 year.

 Hence, Present age of Zeba is 14 years.

34. Ans: Statement – 1 mark

35. Ans: Here, a is the first term, d is a common difference and n is the number of terms.
It can be observed that the number of logs in rows are forming an A.P. 20, 19, 18, ...
We know that sum of n terms of AP is given by the formula Sₙ = [2a + (n - 1) d]

⇒ 200 = [2 × 20 + (n - 1)(- 1)] ⇒ 400 = n [40 - n + 1] ⇒ 400 = n [41 - n]

⇒ 400 = 41n - n² ⇒ n² - 41n + 400 = 0 ⇒ n² - 16n - 25n + 400 = 0
⇒ n(n - 16) - 25(n - 16) = 0 ⇒ (n - 16)(n - 25) = 0
⇒ Either (n -16) = 0 or (n - 25) = 0
∴ n = 16 or n = 25

⇒ a₁₆ = a + 15d ⇒ a₁₆ = 20 + 15 × (- 1) ⇒ a₁₆ = 20 – 15 ⇒ a₁₆ = 5

The number of logs in nth row will be aₙ = a + (n - 1) d

⇒ a₂₅ = 20 – 24 ⇒ a₂₅ = - 4
Similarly, a₂₅ = 20 + 24 × (- 1)

Clearly, the number of logs in the 16th row is 5. However, the number of logs in the 25th row is
negative 4, which is not possible.
Therefore, 200 logs can be placed in 16 rows. The number of logs in the top (16th) row is 5.
OR
Ans: Here, a is the first term, d is the common difference and n is the number of terms.
Given: a₃ + a₇ = 6 ----- (1)
a₃ × a₇ = 8 ----- (2)
We know that nth term of AP is aₙ = a + (n - 1)d
Third term, a₃ = a + 2d ----- (3)
Seventh term, a₇ = a + 6d ----- (4)
Using equation (3) and equation (4) in equation (1) to find the sum of the terms,

⇒ 2a + 8d = 6 ⇒ a + 4d = 3 ⇒ a = 3 - 4d ----- (5)
(a + 2d) + (a + 6d) = 6

Using equation (3) and equation (4) in equation (2) to find the product of the terms,
(a + 2d ) × (a + 6d ) = 8
Substituting the value of a from equation (5) above,

⇒ (3 - 2d) × (3 + 2d) = 8
(3 - 4d + 2d) × (3 - 4d + 6d) = 8

⇒ (3)² - (2d)² = 8 [Since (a + b)(a - b) = a² - b² ]

⇒ 9 - 4d² = 8 ⇒ 4d² = 1 ⇒ d² = ¼ ⇒ d = ½, -½
Case 1: When d = ½
a = 3 - 4d = 3 - 4 × ½ = 3 - 2 = 1
Sₙ = [2a + (n - 1) d] ⇒ S₁₆ = [ 2 × 1 + (16 - 1) × ½ ] = 8 × 19/2 = 76
Case 2: When d = - ½
a = 3 - 4d = 3 - 4 × (- ½) = 3 + 2 = 5
Sₙ = [2a + (n – 1) d] ⇒ S₁₆ = [2 × 5 + (16 - 1) × (- ½)] = 8 [10 - 15/2] = 8 × 5/2 = 20

37. Ans: (a) Suppose two cars meet at point Q. Then, Distance travelled by car X = AQ, Distance

∴ Distance travelled by car X in 9 hours = 9x km = AQ = 9x

travelled by car Y = BQ. It is given that two cars meet in 9 hours.

Distance travelled by car Y in 9 hours = 9y km = BQ = 9y

Clearly, AQ - BQ = AB = 9x - 9y = 90 = x - y = 10
OR
Suppose two cars meet at point P. Then Distance travelled by car X = AP and Distance travelled by
car Y = BP.
In this case, two cars meet in hours. Distance travelled by car X in hours

= x km ⇒ AP = x

Distance travelled by car Y in hours

= y km ⇒ BP = y
Clearly, AP + BP = AB
⇒ x+ y = 90 ⇒ (x + y) = 90 ⇒ x + y = 70

Adding equations (i) and (ii), we get 2x = 80 ⇒ x = 40

(b) We have x - y = 10 and x + y = 70

(c) We have x - y = 10 ⇒ 40 - y = 10 ⇒ y = 30
Hence, speed of car X is 40 km/hr.

Hence, speed of car y is 30 km/hr
