Question 1.

Euclid's Division Lemma states that for any two positive integers a and b, there exist unique integers q and r such that a = bq + r, where
A. 0 < r < b

B. 0 ≤ r < b

C. 0 < r ≤ b

D. 1<r< b


Answer:

Euclid's division lemma :


Given positive integers a and b, there exist unique integers q and r satisfying a = bq + r, 0 ≤ r < b


Question 2.

In the given figure, the graph of the polynomial p(x) is shown. The number of zeros of p(x) is


A. 1

B. 3

C. 2

D. 4


Answer:

The zeroes of polynomial means that value of polynomial becomes zero.


In the above graph, the curve depicts the polynomial and it gets zero at two points, therefore p(x) has two zeroes.


Question 3.

In ΔABC, it is given that DE || BC. If AD = 3 cm, DB = 2 cm and DE = 6 cm, then BC = ?


A. 9 cm

B. 10 cm

C. 12 cm

D. 18 cm


Answer:

In ΔADE and ΔABC


∠ADE = ∠ABC [Corresponding angles as DE || BC]


∠AED = ∠ACB [Corresponding angles as DE || BC]


ΔADE ~ ΔABC [By Angle-Angle Similarity criterion]


[Corresponding sides of similar triangles are in the same ratio]


Now,


Given, AD = 3 cm


DB = 2 cm


DE = 6 cm


⇒ AB = AD + DB = 3 + 2 = 5 cm


Using this in above equation,



⇒ BC = 10 cm


Question 4.

If sin 3θ = cos (θ - 2°), where 3θ and (θ - 2°) are both acute angles, then θ = ?
A. 44°

B. 22°

C. 46°

D. 23°


Answer:

Given, we know that


sin θ = cos(90° - θ)


Replacing θ by 3θ


⇒ sin(3θ) = cos(90° - 3θ)


⇒ cos(θ - 2°) = cos(90° - 3θ)


[ Given, sin 3θ = cos(θ - 2°)]


⇒ θ - 2° = 90° - 3θ


⇒ 4θ = 92°


⇒ θ = 23°


Question 5.

If tan θ = √3, then
A. -1

B. 1

C. -1/2

D. 1/2


Answer:

Given,


tan θ = √3

⇒ sec2θ - 1 = 3 [As tan2θ + 1 = sec2θ]


⇒ sec2θ = 4 …[1]


Also,



as tanθ = √3


Squaring both sides,



[As cot2θ + 1 = cosec2θ]


…[2]


Putting the values from [1] and [2] into given eqn




Question 6.

The decimal expansion of 49/40 will terminate after how many places of decimal?
A. 1

B. 2

C. 3

D. will not terminate


Answer:


We know that if is a rational number, such that p and q are co-prime and q has factors in the form of 2m.5n, then, decimal expansion of will terminate after the highest power of 2 or 5 (whichever is greater).


Therefore, will terminate after 3 places of decimal.


Question 7.

The pair of linear equations 6x - 3y + 10 = 0, 2x - y + 9 = 0 has
A. one solution

B. two solutions

C. many solutions

D. no solution


Answer:

Comparing the equation with the set of equations


a1x + b1y + c1 = 0 and a2x + b2y + c2 = 0


we have,


a1 = 6, a2 = 2


b1 = -3, b2 = -1


c1 = 10, c2 = 9


and we have,


and and


So, we have



and in this case, we know that equations have no solution.


Question 8.

For a given data with 60 observations the 'less than ogive' and the 'more than ogive' intersect at (18.5, 30). The median of the data is
A. 18

B. 30

C. 60

D. 18.5


Answer:

As we know that, the x-coordinate of the point of intersection of the


more than ogive and less than ogive give us a median of the data.


So, the median of the data is 18.5


Question 9.

Is (7 x 5 x 3 X 2 + 3) a composite number? Justify your answer.


Answer:

(7 x 5 x 3 x 2 + 3) = (210 + 3) = 213


And 213 = 71 x 3


As, this number is expressible as product of two no's other, the given number is composite.


[Composition no's are those no's which has factors other than 1 and itself]



Question 10.

When a polynomial p(x) is divided by (2x + 1), is it possible to have (x - 1) as a remainder? Justify your answer.


Answer:

No, because degree of remainder cannot be equal to the degree of divisor


And in this case degree of divisor, i.e. 2x + 1 = 1


And degree of remainder, i.e. x -1 = 1 is equal.



Question 11.

If 3 cos2θ + 7sin2θ = 4, show that cotθ = √3


Answer:

Given,


3cos2θ + 7sin2θ = 4


⇒ 3cos2θ + 3sin2θ + 4sin2θ = 4


⇒ 3(cos2θ + sin2θ) + 4sin2θ = 4


⇒ 3 + 4sin2θ = 4


[as sin2θ + cos2θ = 1]


⇒ 4sin2θ = 1




⇒ θ = 30°


[as ]


⇒ cot θ = √3


[ as cot 30° = √3]



Question 12.

Question 13.

In the given figure, DE|| AC and DF || AE.



Prove that:


Answer:

DE || AC [Given]


And we know, By Basic Proportional Theorem


If a line is drawn parallel to the one side of a triangle to intersect the other two sides in distinct points, then the other two sides are divided in same ratio


…[1]


And DF || AE


By Basic Proportional Theorem,



[From [1]]



Hence, Proved



Question 14.

In the given figure, AD ⊥ BC and BD = 1/3 CD. Prove that: 2CA2 = 2AB2 + BC2.



Answer:

We have,


BC = BD + CD



[1]


As, AD ⏊ BC


⇒ ΔADC is a right-angled triangle


By Pythagoras theorem,[i.e. hypotenuse2 = perpendicular2 + base2]


AD2 + CD2= CA2


⇒ AD2 = CA2 - CD2 ….[2]


Also, ΔABD is a right-angled triangle


By Pythagoras theorem,


AD2 + BD2 = AB2


From [2]


CA2 - CD2 + BD2 = AB2





[From [1]]




⇒ 2CA2 - BC2 = 2AB2


⇒ 2CA2 = 2AB2 + BC2


Hence, Proved.



Question 15.

Find the mode of the following distribution of marks obtained by 80 students:



Answer:

In the given data,


The maximum class frequency is 32. So, the modal class is 30-40.


Lower limit(l) of modal class = 30


Class size(h) = 40 - 30 = 10


Frequency(f1) of modal class = 32


Frequency(f0) of class preceding the modal class = 12


Frequency(f2) of class succeeding the modal class = 20


And we know,



Substituting values, we get





Question 16.

Show that any positive odd integer is of the form (4q + 1) or (4q + 3), where q is a positive integer.


Answer:

Let a be an positive odd integer, and let b = 4


By, using Euclid's division lemma,


a = 4q + r, where r is an integer such that, 0 ≤ r < 4


So, only four cases are possible


a = 4q or


a = 4q + 1 or


a = 4q + 2 or


a = 4q + 3


But 4q and 4q + 2 are divisible by 2, therefore these cases are not possible, as a is an odd integer.


Therefore,


a = 4q + 1 or a = 4q + 3.



Question 17.

Prove that (5 - √3) is irrational.


Answer:

Let 5 - √3 be rational,


Then, 5 - √3 can be expressed as where, p and q are co-prime integers and


q ≠ 0,


we have,





As p and q are integers, 5q - p is also an integer


is a rational number.


But √3 is an irrational number, so the equality is not possible.


This contradicts our assumption, that 5 - √3 is a rational number.


Therefore, 5 - √3 is an irrational number.



Question 18.

Prove that is irrational.


Answer:

Let be rational,


Then, can be expressed as where p and q are co-prime integers and


q ≠ 0,


we have,




As p and q are integers, 5p and 3q are also integers


is a rational number.


But √3 is an irrational number, so the equality is not possible.


This contradicts our assumption, that is a rational number.


Therefore, is an irrational number.



Question 19.

A man can row a boat at the rate of 4 km/hour in still water. He takes thrice as much time in going 30 km upstream as in going 30 km downstream. Find the speed of the stream.


Answer:

Speed of boat in still water = 4 km/h


Let the speed of stream be 'x'


Therefore,


Speed of the boat upstream = Speed of boat in still water - Speed of stream = 4 - x


Speed of the boat downstream = Speed of boat in still water + Speed of stream = 4 + x


Time taken to go upstream


Time taken to go downstream


Given, time taken in upstream is thrice as in downstream





⇒ 4 + x = 12 - 3x


⇒ 4x = 8


⇒ x = 2


i.e. the speed of stream = x is 2 km/hour.



Question 20.

In a competitive examination, 5 marks are awarded for each correct answer, while 2 marks are deducted for each wrong answer. Jayant answered 120 questions and got 348 marks. How many questions did he answer correctly?


Answer:

Let the number of correct answers = x


Let the number of wrong answers = y


Total no of questions attempted = x + y = 120


⇒ y = 120 - x ….[1]


Marks for each correct answer = 5


Marks for x correct answers = 5x


As 2 marks are deducted for each wrong question,


Marks deducted for y wrong answers = 2y


Total marks obtained by student will be 5x - 2y,


⇒ 5x - 2y = 348


⇒ 5x - 2(120 - x) = 348


⇒ 5x - 240 + 2x = 348


⇒ 7x = 588


⇒ x = 84


Hence, no of correct answers = x = 84



Question 21.

If α and β are the zeros of the polynomial 2x2 + x - 6, then form a quadratic equation whose zeros are 2α and 2β.


Answer:

We know that, for a quadratic equation ax2 + box + c


Sum of zeroes


Product of zeroes


Given equation = 2x2 + x - 6 and zeroes are α and β


Therefore,


….[1] and


….[2]


Now, any quadratic equation having α and β as zeroes will have the form


p(x) = x2 - (α + β)x + αβ


⇒ equation having α and β as zeroes will have the form


p(x) = x2 - (2α + 2β)x + (2α)(2β)


⇒ p(x) = x2 - 2(α + β)x + 4αβ


From [1] and [2]



Hence required equation is x2 + x - 12.



Question 22.

Prove that: (cosecθ - sinθ)(secθ - cosθ) =


Answer:

Taking L.H.S


= (cosecθ - sinθ)(secθ - cosθ)




We know, sin2θ + cos2θ = 1


Therefore,



Taking R.H.S





[as sin2θ + cos2θ = 1]


LHS = RHS


Hence, Proved.



Question 23.

If cosθ + sinθ = √2 cosθ, prove that cos θ - sinθ = √2 sinθ.


Answer:

Given,


cos θ + sin θ = √2 cos θ …[1]


Squaring both side,


(cos θ + sin θ)2 = 2 cos2θ


⇒ cos2θ + sin2θ + 2cosθsinθ = 2cos2θ


⇒ 2cosθsinθ = 2cos2θ - cos2θ - sin2θ


⇒ 2cosθsinθ = cos2θ - sin2θ


⇒ 2cosθsinθ = (cosθ - sinθ)(cosθ + sinθ)


⇒ 2cosθsinθ = (cosθ - sinθ)( √2 cosθ) [From [1]]



Hence, Proved.



Question 24.

ΔABC and ΔDBC are on the same base BC and on opposite sides of BC. If O is the point of intersection of BC and AD, prove that:





Answer:

Given: ΔABC and ΔDBC with common base BC.


To Prove:


Construction: Draw AM ⏊ BC and DN ⏊ BC


Proof:


In ΔAMO and ΔDNO


∠AOM = ∠DON [Vertically opposite angle]


∠AMO = ∠DNO [Both 90°]


ΔAMO ~ ΔDNO [By Angle-Angle sum criterion]


[Corresponding sides of similar triangles are in the same ratio] [1]


Now, we know that


Area of a triangle


Therefore,



[From [1]]


Hence, Proved



Question 25.

In Δ ABC, the AD is a median and E is the midpoint of the AD. If BE is produced to meet 1 AC in F, show that AF = 1/3 AC.



Answer:

Proof:


Given: In ΔABC, the AD is a median and E is mid-point of the AD and BE is produced to meet AC in F.


To Prove:


Construction: Draw DG || BF as shown in figure



Proof:


Now, In ΔBFC


DG || BF [By construction]


As AD is a median on BC, D is a mid-point of BC


Therefore,


G is a mid-point of CF [By mid-point theorem]


⇒ CG = FG …[1]


Now, In ΔADG


EF || DG [By Construction]


As E is a mid-point of AD [Given]


Therefore,


F is a mid-point of AG [By mid-point theorem]


⇒ FG = AF …[2]


From [1] and [2]


AF = CG = FG …[3]


And


AC = AF + FG + CG


⇒ AC = AF + AF + AF [From 3]


⇒ AC = 3AF



Hence Proved



Question 26.

Find the mean of the following frequency distribution using step deviation method:



Answer:

Let us first calculate the mid-values(xi) for each class-interval, By using the formula




Let us assume the assumed mean(a) = 75


and from that, we get the data as shown in above table.


And we know, By step-deviation method



Where, a = assumed mean


h = class size





Question 27.

The mean of the following frequency distribution is 24. Find the value of p.



Answer:

Let us first calculate the mid-values(xi) for each class-interval, By using the formula



By which, we get the following data



We know, that



Given, mean = 24



⇒ 1920 + 24p = 1700 + 35p


⇒ 11p = 220


⇒ p = 20



Question 28.

Find the median of the following data:



Answer:

First, let us make a cumulative frequency distribution of less than type.



In this case,


Sum of all frequencies, n = 53



Now, we know the median class is whose cumulative frequency is greater than and nearest to .


As, a Cumulative frequency greater than and nearest to 26.5 is 29, the median class is 60 - 70.


Median


where l = lower limit of median class,


n = number of observations,


cf = cumulative frequency of class preceding the median class,


f = frequency of median class,


h = class size


In this case,


l = 60


n = 53


cf = 22


f = 7


h = 10


Putting values, we get,


Median




Question 29.

Let p(x) = 2x4 - 3x3 - 5x2 + 9x - 3 and two of its zeros are √3 and -√3. Find the other two zeros.


Answer:

Two zeroes are √3 and -√3,


Therefore (x -√3)(x - (-√3) = (x - √3)(x + √3) is a factor of p(x).


Let us divide p(x) by (x - √3)(x + √3) = (x2 - 3)



⇒ (2x4 - 3x3 - 5x2 + 9x - 3) = (x2 - 3)(2x2 - 3x + 1)


= (x - √3)(x + √3)(2x2 - 2x - x + 1)


= (x - √3)(x + √3)(2x(x - 1) - 1(x - 1))


= (x - √3)(x + √3)(2x - 1)(x - 1)


Hence,


2x - 1 = 0 or x - 1 = 0


or x = 1


Hence, other two zeroes are or 1.



Question 30.

Prove that the ratio of the areas of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of the squares of their corresponding sides.


Answer:

Let ΔPQR and ΔABC be two similar triangles,


[Corresponding sides of similar triangles are in the same ratio] [1]


And as corresponding angles of similar triangles are equal


∠A = ∠P


∠B = ∠Q


∠C = ∠R


Construction: Draw PM ⏊ QR and AN ⏊ BC


In ΔPQR and ΔABC


∠PMR = ∠ANC [Both 90°]


∠R = ∠C [Shown above]


ΔPQR ~ ΔABC [By Angle-Angle Similarity]


[Corresponding sides of similar triangles are in the same ratio] [2]


Now, we know that


Area of a triangle


Therefore,



[From 2]


[From 1]


[From 1]


Hence, Proved.



Question 31.

In a triangle, if the square of one side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, then the angle opposite to the first side is a right angle. Prove it.


Answer:

Let us consider a triangle ABC, in which


AC2 = BC2 + AB2 …[1]


To Prove: Angle opposite to the first side i.e. AC is right angle or


∠ ABC = 90°


Construction:


Let us draw another right-angled triangle PQR right-angled at Q, with


AB = PQ


BC = QR


Now, By Pythagoras theorem, In ΔPQR


PR2 = QR2 + PQ2


But QR = BC and PQ = AB


⇒ PR2 = BC2 + AB2


But From [1] we have,


AC2 = PR2


⇒ AC = PR


In ΔABC and ΔPQR


AB = PQ [Assumed]


BC = QR [Assumed]


AC = PR [Proved above]


⇒ ΔABC ≅ ΔPQR [By Side-Side-Side Criterion]

Question 37.

Solve for x and y:

ax + by-a + b = 0, bx-ay-a-b = O.


Answer:

Eqn1 : ax + by - a + b = 0


⇒ ax + by = a - b


Multiplying both side by b


⇒ abx + b2y = ab - b2 …[1]


Eqn2 : bx - ay - a - b = 0


⇒ bx - ay = a + b


Multiplying both side by a


⇒ abx - a2y = a2 + ab …[2]


Subtracting [2] from [1]


abx - a2y - (abx + b2y) = a2 + ab - (ab - b2)


⇒ abx - a2y - abx - b2y = a2 + ab - ab + b2


⇒ -y(a2 + b2) = a2 + b2


⇒ -y = 1


⇒ y = 1


Putting value of y in eqn1, we get


ax + b(-1) - a + b = 0


⇒ ax - b - a + b = 0


⇒ ax = a


⇒ x = 1


So, x = 1 and y = -1

Given: A ΔABC right-angled at B, and D is the mid-point of BC, i.e. BD = CD


To Prove: AC2 = (4AD2 - 3AB2)


Proof:


In ΔABD,


By Pythagoras theorem, [i.e. Hypotenuse2 = Base2+ Perpendicular2]


AD2 = AB2 + BD2


[ as D is mid-point of BC, therefore,



⇒ 4AD2 = 4AB2 + BC2


⇒ BC2 = 4AD2 - 4AB2 [1]


Now, In ΔABC, again By Pythagoras theorem


AC2 = AB2 + BC2


AC2 = AB2 + 4AD2 - 4AB2 [From 1]


AC2 = 4AD2 - 3AB2


Hence Proved !

Show that any positive odd integer is of the form (6q + 1) or (6q + 3) or (6q + 5), where q is some integer.


Answer:

According to Euclid’s algorithm p = 6q + r


where r is any whole number 0< = r<6 and p is a positive integer


Since 6q is divisible by 2 so the value of r will decide whether it is odd or even.


Also since r<6 so only 6 cases are possible


For r = 1 , 3, 5 we get three odd numbers and for r = 0 , 2 , 4 we get three even numbers


So (6q + 1) , (6q + 3) & (6q + 5) represents positive odd integers .


Hence Proved



Question 17.

Prove that (3 -√15) is irrational.

Let us assume (3 -√15 ) is rational


(Assume)


where a & b are integers (b≠0)




Now let’s solve the R.H.S. Of the above equation


Let


Squaring we get




In The above equation since 15 divides p2 so it must also divide p


so p is a multiple of 15


let p = 15k where k is an integer


Putting in Equation 1 the value of p we get


15q2 = 225k2


⇒ q2 = 15k2


Since 15 divides q2 so it must also divide q


so q is a multiple of 15


But this contradicts our previously assumed data since we had considered p & q has been resolved in their simplest form and they shouldn't have any common factors.


So √15 is irrational and hence


(3 -√15) is also irrational


Hence Proved



Question 18.

Prove that is irrational.


Answer:

Let us consider to be rational


where a & b are integers (b≠0)


Rearranging we get



The R.H.S of the above expression is a rational number since it can be expressed as a numerator by a denominator


Let L.H.S = where p and q are integers (q≠0)




Squaring both sides we get


2q2 = p2…Equation 1


Since 2 divides p2 so it must also divide p


so p is a multiple of 2


let p = 2k where k is an integer


Putting in Equation 1 the value of p we get


2q2 = 4k2


⇒ q2 = 2k2


Since 2 divides q2 so it must also divide q


so q is a multiple of 2


But this contradicts our previously assumed data since we had considered p & q has been resolved in their simplest form and they shouldn't have any common factors.


So √2 is irrational and hence


is also irrational


Hence Proved

⇒ x = 6


Putting the value of x in Equation 1 we get y = 12


The two numbers are 6 & 12

The new equation will be formed by combining the results of Equation 1 & 2


The New Polynomial Formed from the new roots is x2 -2x-48

Also From the Trigonometrical identities


sin2θ + cos2θ = 1


cosec2 θ = 1 + cot2 θ


sec2 θ = 1 + tan2 θ


⇒ 1 + 1 + cot2 θ + 2 + 1 + tan2 θ + 2

Since x = √2 & - √2 is a solution so


x- √2 & x + √2 are two factors of p(x)


Multiplying the two factors we get x2-2 …Equation 1

To get the other two factors we need to perform long division


On performing long division we will get


2x2 + 7x -15 …Equation 2


Equation 2 is also a factor of p(x)


To find the other two zeroes of the polynomial we need to solve Equation 2


We use the method of factorization for solving Equation 2


2x2 + 7x -15 = 0

Question 40.

The table given below shows the daily expenditure on food of 30 households in a locality:



Find the mean and median of daily expenditure on food.


Answer:


According to the direct method


Mean =


⇒ Mean =


⇒ Mean = 205


Total frequency(n) = 30



15 lies in the interval 200-250


so l (lower limit) = 200


cf(Cumulative frequency of the preceding class 200-250) = 13


f (frequency of median class) = 12


h (class size) = 50


Median =


Median =


Median = 208.33
