D. Matching (5 × 1 = 5 Marks)
Column A Column B
Circle πr²
Simple Algebraic Equation 2x + 5 = 9
Column A Column B
Probability of an impossible event 0
A∪B
Cube of 3 27
Union of Sets A and B
E. Sequencing / Ordering (5 × 1 = 5 Marks)
Correct Order: e → a → d → b → c
F. Labeling (5 × 1 = 5 Marks)
Parts of a Circle:
Center: The middle point of the circle
Radius: Line from center to any point on the circle
Diameter: Line passing through center, touching two points on boundary
Circumference: The boundary line of the circle
Chord: A line joining any two points on the circle
Section II: Subjective / Computational (60 Marks)
A. Short Answer Computational (5 × 6 = 30 Marks)
1. 0.75 = 75% = ¾
2. 10th term = 5 + (10-1) × 4 = 5 + 36 = 41
3. (x+3)(x+4)
4. x = (19-4)/3 = 5
A ∪ B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, A ∩ B = {3, 4}
5. Area = ½ × 10 × 8 = 40 cm²
6.
B. Word Problems (3 × 6 = 18 Marks)
1. Height = 1500 / (15 × 10) = 10 cm
2. Probability = 5/10 = 0.5
3.
Mean = (5+7+8+9+5+6+7+8)/8 = 6.875
Median = (7+7)/2 = 7
Mode = 5, 7, 8 (each appears twice)
C. Analytical / Explanatory (3 × 4 = 12 Marks)
1. Average = (80+70+90+60)/4 = 75% → Not eligible (cut-off is 80%)
2. They lie on a straight line — pattern: y = x + 1
3. 5th term = 1 × 2⁴ = 16
