Solution

Section A
1. (a) -9 and -10
Explanation:

− 19
We have,
2
On expressing it in decimal form, we get -9.5
∴ The number lies between -9 and -10.

2. (d) 2x – y = 12
Explanation:

x = 5 and y = -2 is the solution of the linear equation 2x – y = 12

2x - y = 12
LHS = 2x - y
2.5 - (-2)
10 + 2
12
RHS = 12
LHS = RHS
It means that x = 5 and y = -2 is the solution of the linear equation 2x - y = 12.

3. (b) II and IV quadrants respectively

Explanation:

II and IV quadrants respectively, as in II quadrant abscissa is negative and ordinate in positive, on the other hand in IV
quadrant abscissa is positive and ordinate is negative.

4. (b) horizontal axis and vertical axis

Explanation:

In a histogram the class limits are marked on the horizontal axis and the frequency is marked on the vertical axis. Thus, a
rectangle is constructed on each class interval.

5. (d) ab = 6
Explanation:

ab = 6

6. (b) Cylinder

7. (b) 40°
Explanation:

In the given figure we have

3Y + 2X = 180° (Linear - Pair)
X = 30°
3Y + 2 × 30° = 180°
3Y + 60° = 180°
3|Y = 180° - 60°
3Y = 120°
120 0
Y= 3
Y = 40°

8. (b) 38 ∘
Explanation:

∠ DAC = ∠ACB = 32o ( alternate angles)

∠ AOB + ∠COB = 180o ( linear pair)
∠ COB = 180 - 70o = 110o
In triangle BOC,
∠ BOC + ∠OCB + ∠CBO = 180o ( angle sum property)
110o + 32 o+ ∠CBO = 180o
∠ CBO = 180o - 142o = 38o

9. (d) monomial
Explanation:

A polynomial containing one nonzero term is called a monomial.

Example: 3x, 5x2, y3

10. (b) ax2 + by = c

Explanation:

ax2 + by = c it has power is 2 then it is a quadratic equation.

11. (b) 240 ∘

Explanation:

As triangle ABC is an equilateral traingle, therefore all the three angles are equal, that is , 60o each.
x = 180 - 60 = 120o
y = 180 - 60 = 120o
x + y = 120 + 120 = 240

12. (a) right-angled

Explanation:

Copyright © myCBSEguide.com. Mass distribution in any mode is strictly prohibited.

11 / 24
myCBSEguide

Diagonals of a square are perpendicular bisectors, hence angle AOB = 90o So triangle AOB is right-angled.

13. (b) 25 o
Explanation:

Since both the triangles are congruent,

So, OA = O'A,
OB = O'B
AB = AB (Common)
Hence, △AOB ≅ △ AO ′ B
Thus, ∠AOB = ∠AO ′ B = 50 0
Since, PB is a straight line, therefore:-
∠ AOP + ∠AOB = 180o
⇒ ∠ AOP = 180o - 50o = 130o
Again, In triangle OPA,
⇒ ∠P = ∠A

⇒ ∠ A + ∠P + ∠O = 180o
⇒ 2∠P + 130o = 180o
50 0
⇒ ∠ P= = 25 0
2
Thus, ∠OPA = 25 0

14. (c) Option (i)

Explanation:

0 is an integer and all integers are rational numbers.

15. (c) natural numbers

Explanation:

3x + 4y = 7
3x = 7 - 4y
7 − 4y
x= 3
The equation will have a unique solution only if x and y are natural numbers with only one value which is for y = 1.
7 − 4.1
x= 3

In any triangle the side opposite to the greater angle is longer.

Since, ∠R > ∠Q

Section B

21. Since the sum of the opposite pairs of angles in a cyclic quadrilateral is 180°.
∴ ∠ P + ∠R = 180° and ∠Q + ∠S = 180°
⇒ 3x + x = 180° and y + 5y = 180°
⇒ 4x = 180° and 6y = 180°
⇒ x = 45° and y = 30°
∴ ∠P = 3x = ( 3 × 45°) = 135°,

∠ Q = y = 30°, ∠R = x = 45°
and, ∠S = 5y = ( 5 × 30°) = 150°

22. Let the equal sides of the isosceles triangle be a cm each.

∴ Base of the triangle, b = acm

Perimeter = 42 cm
3
⇒ {a + a + a} cm = 42 cm
2
3
⇒ 2a + 2 a = 42
7a
⇒
2
= 42
⇒ a = 12
So, equal sides of the triangle are 12 cm each.

23. Given: Perimeter of △PQR = 20

i.e., PQ + PR + PR = 20
⇒ PQ + (QC + CR) + PR = 20
⇒ (PQ + QA) + (RB + PR) = 20 ...[\because Q A=Q C \text { and } R C=R B \text { as tangents from external points
Q and R, respectively]
⇒ PA + PB = 20

⇒ PA + PA = 20 ...[ ∵ PA = PB as tangents from external point P]

⇒ 2PA = 20
⇒ PA = 10 cm

24. According to given condition,

1
AP = PB = AB
2
In right angled triangle BPO,
OB2 = OP2 + BP2
(5)2 (3)2 + (BP)2
(BP)2 = 25 - 9 = 16
BP = √16 = 4cm
AB = 2BP = 2 × 4 = 8cm

OR

Given that, ∠BAC = 52 ∘

∠ BDC = ∠BAC = 52 ∘ ... (Angle in same segment)
Since, OD = OC
Then, ∠ODC = ∠OCD (Opposite angles to equal radii)
⇒ x = 52 ∘ .

25. Let the cost of a note book be Rs. x and the cost of a pen be Rs. y.
Then, according to the given condition of the question,
x = 2y
⇒ x – 2y = 0
This is the required linear equation in two variables x and y.

OR

Given linear equation is

2x+3y=k
take x=2 & y=1 then,
2(2)+3(1)
=4+3

so, k=7

27. Given, f(x) = x3 – 3x2 – 9x – 5

The constant in f(x) is -5
The factors of -5 are ± 1, ± 5
Let, x + 1 = 0
⇒ x = -1
f(-1) = (−1)3 - 3(−1)2 - 9(-1) - 5
= -1 – 3 + 9 – 5
=0
Therefore, (x + 1) is the factor of f(x)
Divide f(x) with (x + 1) to get other factors
By long division
⇒ x3 – 3x2 – 9x – 5 = (x + 1)( x2 – 4x – 5)
Now,we have,
x2 – 4x – 5 = x2 – 5x + x – 5
= x(x – 5) + 1(x – 5)=(x-5)(x+1)
The factors are (x – 5) and (x + 1)
Therefore, x3 – 3x2 – 9x – 5 = (x + 1)(x – 5)(x + 1)

Given : △ABC is an isosceles triangle in which AB = AC.

Side BA is produced to D such that AD = AB.
To Prove : ∠BCD is a right angle.
Proof : As ABC is an isosceles triangle
∠ABC = ∠ACB ...... (1)
AC = AD ........ [As given : AB = AC and AD = AB]
In △ACD,
∠CDA = ∠ACD .......... [∠s opposite to equal side of a △]
∠CBD = ∠ACD . . . (2)
∠ABC + ∠CDB = ∠ACB + ∠ACD ........ [Adding corresponding sides from (1) and (2)]
∠ABC + ∠CDB = ∠BCD . . . (3)
In △BCD
∠BCD + ∠DBC + ∠CDB = 180o . . .[Sum of three angles of a triangle]
∴ ∠BCD + ∠ABC + ∠CDB = 180o
∠BCD + ∠BCD = 180o . . .[From (3)]
∴ 2∠BCD = 180o
∴ ∠BCD = 90o
∴ ∠BCD is a right angle proved.

34. To Prove: ∠ ROS = 2
(∠QOS − ∠POS)
Given: OR is perpendicular to PQ, or ∠QOR = 90°
From the given figure, we can conclude that ∠POR and ∠QOR form a linear pair.
We know that sum of the angles of a linear pair is 180°.
∴ ∠POR + ∠QOR = 180°

or ∠POR = 90°
From the figure, we can conclude that
∠ POR = ∠POS + ∠ROS

⇒ ∠ POS + ∠ROS = 90°

Again,
∠QOS + ∠POS = 180°

Draw EO ∥ AB ∥ CD
Then, ∠EOB + ∠EOD = x ∘
Now, EO ∥ AB and BO is the transversal.
∴ ∠ EOB + ∠ABO = 180 ∘ [Consecutive Interior Angles]
⇒ ∠ EOB + 55 ∘ = 180 ∘
⇒ ∠ EOB = 125 ∘
Again, EO ∥ CD and DO is the transversal.
∴ ∠EOD + ∠CDO = 180 [Consecutive Interior Angles]
∘

⇒ ∠ EOD + 25 ∘ = 180 ∘
⇒ ∠ EOD = 155 ∘
Therefore,
x∘ = ∠ EOB + ∠EOD
x = (125 + 155)°

x ∘ = 280°

35. Since we want to draw a frequency polygon without a histogram, let us find the class-marks of the classes given above,
that is of 140 - 150, 150 - 160,.... For 140 - 150, the upper limit = 150, and the lower limit = 140
150 + 140 290
So, the class-mark = 2
= 2
= 145
Continuing in the same manner, we find the class-marks of the other classes as well.
So, the new table obtained is as shown in the following table:

Table

Cost of living index Class-marks Number of weeks

140 - 150 145 5

150 - 160 155 10

160 - 170 165 20

170 - 180 175 9
180 - 190 185 6

190 - 200 195 2

Total 52

We can now draw a frequency polygon by plotting the class-marks along the horizontal axis, the frequencies along the
vertical-axis, and then plotting and joining the points B(145, 5), C(155, 10), D(165, 20), E(175, 9), F(185, 6) and G(195,
2) by line segments. We should not forget to plot the point corresponding to the class-mark of the class 130 - 140 (just
before the lowest class 140 - 150) with zero frequency, that is, A(135, 0), and the point H (205, 0) occurs immediately
after G(195, 2). So, the resultant frequency polygon will be ABCDEFGH (see Fig.)

36. i. First we will find the curved surface area of the corn cob.
We have, r = 2.1 and h = 20
Let l be the slant height of the conical corn cob. Then,
l= √r2 + h2 = √(2.1) 2 + (20) 2 = √4.41 + 400 = √404.41 = 20.11 cm
∴ Curved surface area of the corn cub = πrl

= 132.726 cm2 = 132.73 cm2
ii. The volume of the corn cub

= πr 2h = × × 2.1 × 2.1 × 20
3 3 7
= 92.4 cm3
iii. Now
Total number of grains on the corn cob = Curved surface area of the corn cob × Number of grains of corn on 1 cm2
Hence, Total number of grains on the corn cob = 132.73 × 4 = 530.92
So, there would be approximately 531 grains of corn on the cob.
OR
Volume of a corn cub = 92.4 cm3
Volume of the cartoon = 20 × 25 × 20 = 10,000 cm3
Thus no. of cubs which can be stored in the cartoon
