Section A

1. If x = 3 is one root of the quadratic equation x2 – 2kx – 6 = 0, then find the value of k.

Solution.

Given that x = 3 is one root of the equation

∴ 9 – 6k – 6 = 0

2. Write whether the rational number 7/75will have a terminating decimal expansion or non-
terminating repeating decimal expansion.

Solution.

Here, denominator 75 = 3 × 5 × 5 = 3 × 52

Thus, denominator is not of the form 2n5m.

Therefore, 7/75 is a non-terminating repeating decimal expansion.

7. Find HCF and LCM of 404 and 96 and verify that HCF × LCM = Product of the two given
numbers.

Solution.

Here, 404 = 2 × 2 × 101

And 96 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3

Common factors = 2 × 2

 HCF of 404 and 96 = 2 × 2 = 4

LCM of 404 and 96 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 101 = 9696

Now, HCF × LCM = 4 × 9696 = 38784

And product of the two numbers = 404 × 96 = 38784

Hence, it is verified. HCF × LCM = Product of 404 and 96.

9. Let P and Q be the points of trisection of the line segment joining the points A (2, ‒2) and B
(‒7, 4) such that P is nearer to A. Find the coordinates of P and Q.

Solution.

Since P and Q be the points of trisection of the line segment joining the points A (2, ‒2) and B
(‒7, 4) such that P is nearer to A.

Therefore P divides line segment in the rail 1:2 and Q divides in 2:1

10. Find the number of all three-digit natural numbers which are divisible by 9.

Solution.

All three-digit natural numbers which are divisible by 9, are 108, 117, 126, ….., 999.

All these numbers form an AP with, 1st term, a =108

Common difference, d =117 – 108 = 9

And last term, an = 999


Now, a + (n − 1) d = an
∴108 + (n − 1) 9 = 999
⟹ (n − 1)9 = 999 −108 = 891

⟹ (n − 1) = 891 /9 = 99

⟹ n = 99 + 1 = 100

OR

10. The sum of the 4th and 8th terms of an AP is 24 and the sum of the 6th and 10th term is 44.

a + 3d + a + 7 d = 24
 2a + 10d = 24...........(1)
a + 5d + a + 9d = 44
 2a + 14d = 44................(2)

Using elimination these can be solved as,

2a + 14d = 44
− ( 2a + 10d = 24 )
4d = 20
d =5

Substituting in equation (1) as,

2a + 10d = 24
 2a + 10  5 = 24
 2a = 24 − 50
 2a = −26

 a = −13

Hence first term is −13 and the common difference is 5

second into a cylindrical tank, the radius of whose base is 40 cm. By how much will the level of
water in the cylindrical tank rise in half an hour?

Solution.

Volume of the water flows in 1 second = πr2 h

Volume of the water flows in half an hour (30  60s) = πr2 h  30  60

 x = 78.75cm

Thus, water in the cylindrical tank rises by 78.75cm in half an hour.

On squaring both the sides, 3 = 2
b

 3b 2 = a 2  a 2 is divisible by 3

 a is divisible by 3

We can write a = 3 c for some integer c

 a 2 = 9c 2
 3b 2 = 9c 2
 b 2 = 3c 2

 b 2 is divisible by 3

 b is divisible by 3

CBSE Class 10 Mathematics Solved Sample Paper

From (i) and (ii), we get 3 as a factor of ‘ a’ and ‘b’ which is contradicting the fact that a and b
are co-primes. Hence our assumption that 3 is an rational number is false. So 3 is an
irrational number.

13. Find HCF and LCM of 404 and 96 and verify that HCF × LCM = Product of the two given

Solution.

Here, 404 = 2 × 2 × 101

And 96 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3

Common factors = 2 × 2

 HCF of 404 and 96 = 2 × 2 = 4

LCM of 404 and 96 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 101 = 9696

Now, HCF × LCM = 4 × 9696 = 38784

And product of the two numbers = 404 × 96 = 38784

Hence, it is verified. HCF × LCM = Product of 404 and 96.

Here,a1or a = 5, an = 45and S n = 400


We know that nth term of an AP is given as,

23. A motor boat whose speed is 24 km/hr in still water takes 1 hr more to go 32km upstream
than to return downstream to the same spot. Find the speed of the stream.

Solution.

Let the speed of stream be x.

Then,

Speed of boat in upstream is 24 ‒ x

In downstream, speed of boat is 24 + x

According to question,

Time taken in the upstream journey ‒ Time taken in the downstream journey = 1 hour

 − =1
24 − x 24 + x

 x 2 + ( 72 − 8 ) x − 576 = 0
 x 2 + 72 x − 8 x − 576 = 0
 x ( x + 72 ) − 8 ( x + 72 ) = 0
 ( x − 8 )( x + 72 ) = 0
 x = 8, −72

Since speed cannot be negative,

So, speed of stream is 8km/hr.

24. The first and the last terms of an AP are 10 and 361 respectively. If its common difference is
9 then find the number of terms and their total sum?

Solution.

Given, first term, a = 10


Last term, al = 361
And, common difference, d = 9
 al = a + ( n − 1)
 361 = 10 + ( n − 1) 9
 361 = 10 + 9n − 9
 361 = 9n + 1
 9n = 360
 n = 40
Therefore, total number of terms in AP = 40
Now, sum of total number of terms of an AP is given as:
n
S n =  2a + ( n − 1) d 
2
40
 S 40 =  2  10 + ( 40 − 1) 9 
2 
 = 20  20 + 39  9
 = 20[20 + 351]
 = 20  371 = 7420
Thus, sum of all 40 terms of AP = 7420

29. Construct a triangle ABC with side BC = 7 cm, ∠B = 45°, ∠A = 105°. Then construct
3
another triangle whose sides are times the corresponding sides of the ∆ABC.
4

Solution.

Here in ΔABC, ∠B = 45° and ∠A = 105°

Now, ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180o [Sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180o]

 105° + 45° + ∠C = 180o

 ∠C = 180°−(105° + 45°) = 30°

Now we draw the ΔABC by following the steps of construction as given below:

1. Draw line BC = 7 cm.


2. At B, construct ∠CBX= 45° and at C, construct ∠BCY= 30°.
3. The point of intersection of BX and CY gives A. Thus, ∆ABC is obtained.
3
Now to draw another triangle whose sides are times the corresponding sides of the ∆ABC,
4
follow the steps given below:
4. Draw any ray BZ making an acute angle with BC on the side opposite to the vertex A.
5. Locate four points B1, B2, B3 and B4 on BZ such that BB1 = B1B2 = B2B3 = B3B4.
6. Join B4C and draw a line through B3 parallel to B4C to intersect BC at C'.
7. Draw a line through C′ parallel to the line CA to intersect BA at A′.
