(a) 250
(b) 252
(c) 160
(d) 140
Answer:
(b) 252

Explanation:
HCF(x, y) = 22 × 32 × 72 i.e. 252

Question 2.
If the lines represented by 3x + 2py = 2 and 2x + 5y + 1 = 0 are parallel, then the value of p is: (1)
(a) \(\frac{15}{4}\)
(b) 13
(c) 12
(d) \(\frac{19}{2}\)
Answer:
(a) \(\frac{15}{4}\)

Explanation:
Since the given lines are parallel,
So, \(\frac{3}{2}\) = \(\frac{2p}{5}\) ≠ \(\frac{2}{1}\)
⇒ p = \(\frac{15}{4}\)

Question 3.
The value of x and y, x + y = 3 and 7x + 6y = 2 are: (1)
(a) x = 16, y = 9
(b) x = 8, y = 5
(c) x = 2, y = 15
(d) x = -16, y = 19
Answer:
(d) x = – 16, y = 19

Explanation:
x + y = 3 gives, y = 3 – x …(i)
So, 7x + 6y = 2 gives 7x + 6(3 – x) = 2
⇒ 7x + 18 – 6x = 2
i.e. x = – 16
From (i), y = 3 + 16 = 19
Thus, x = – 16 and y = 19 is the required solution.

(a) x2 – 2x – 15
(b) 3x2 + 5
(c) x2 – 3x – 14
(d) x2 + 2x + 15 1
Answer:
(a) x2 – 2x – 15

Explanation:
Since, α = – 3 and β = 5
Then, α + β = -3 + 5 = 2
α β = -3 × 5 = -15
Hence, x2 – (α + β) x + α β = 0
x2 – 2x – 15 =0,
is the required quadratic polynomial.

Question 5.
The distance between the points (0, 5) and (-5, 0) is: (1)
(a) 5\(\sqrt{2}\)
(b) 3\(\sqrt{2}\)
(c) \(\sqrt{3}\)

= \(\sqrt{25+25}\) = \(\sqrt{50}\) = \(5 \sqrt{2}\)

Question 6.
For what values of ‘a’, does the quadratic equation x2 – ax + 1 = 0 not have real roots? (1)
(a) (2,1)
(b) (0, 1)
(c) (- 2, 2)
(d) (- 1,1)
Answer:
(c) (- 2, 2)

Explanation:
Given, equation is x2 – ax + 1 = 0
On comparing the equation with Ax2 + Bx + C = 0, we get
A = 1, B = – a and C = 1
Then, D = B2 – 4AC
= (- a)2 – 4 × 1 × 1
= a2 – 4
For no real roots
D < 0
Then, a2 – 4 < 0
a2 < 4
– 2 < a < 2

Explanation:
Given, coordinates of ∆AOB as A(4, 0), O(0, 0) and B(0, 3)
Perimeter of ∆AOB
= Length of AB + length of OA + length of OB
= \(\sqrt{(4-0)^2+(0-3)^2}+\sqrt{(4-0)^2+(0-0)^2}+\sqrt{(0-0)^2+(3-0)^2}\)
= \(\sqrt{16+9}+\sqrt{4^2}+\sqrt{3^2}\)
= 5 + 4 + 3 = 12 units

Question 8.
If p and q are the roots of the quadratic equation x2 + px – q = 0, then find the values of p and q. (1)
(a) p = 4, q = 5
(b) p = 3, q = -2
(c) p = 1, q = 1
(d) p = – 1, q = 2
Answer:
(d) p = – 1, q = 2

Explanation:
Given, quadratic equation is x2 + px – q =0
Here, sum of roots i.e.
p + q = \(\frac{-p}{1}\)
⇒ 2 p = -q
and product of roots,
pq = \(\frac{-q}{1}\)
⇒ P =- 1
Then, q = 2
Hence, the values of p and q are – 1 and 2 respectively.

Explanation:
∆OAP is a right triangle, right-angled at A and ∠APO = 45°
So, \(\frac{OA}{OP}\) = sin 45°
⇒ OP = \(\frac{r}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}\) = \(\sqrt{2} r\)

Question 13.
∆ABC ~ ∆DEF such that DE = 3 cm, EF = 2 cm, DF = 2.5 cm and BC = 4 cm. The perimeter of ∆ABC is: (1)
(a) 15 cm
(b) 10 cm

Answer:
(a) 15 cm

Explanation:
Since, ∆ABC ~ ∆DEF
\(\frac{AB}{DE}\) = \(\frac{BC}{EF}\) = \(\frac{AC}{DF}\)
⇒ \(\frac{AB}{3}\) = \(\frac{BC}{2}\) = \(\frac{AC}{2.5}\)
Then, AB = 6 cm
AC = 5 cm
Then, perimeter of ∆ABC
= AB + BC + AC
=6+4+5
= 15 cm

If cosec A – cot A = 13, then the value of cosec A + cot A is: (1)
(a) \(\frac{1}{12}\)
(b) \(\frac{2}{13}\)
(c) \(\frac{1}{14}\)
(d) \(\frac{1}{13}\)
Answer:
(d) \(\frac{1}{13}\)

Explanation:
We know that:
cosec2 A – cot2 A = 1
i.e. (cosec A + cot A) (cosec A – cot A) = 1
⇒ cosec A + cot A = \(\frac{1}{cosec A – cot A}\) = \(\frac{1}{13}\)

Question 16.
If ∆ABC is right-angled at C, then the value of cos (A + B) is: (1)
(a) 0
(b) 2
(c) 1
(d) 4
Answer:
(a) 0

Explanation:
In ∆ABC,
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
⇒ ∠A + ∠B + 90° = 180°
⇒ ∠A + ∠B = 90°
Now, cos (A + B) = cos 90° = 0

Statement R (Reason): The x-coordinate of the point on y-axis is zero. (1)
Answer:
(a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct explanation of assertion (A)

Explanation:
We know that the if the point lies on y-axis, its x-coordinate is 0.
The x co-ordinate of the point (0, 6) is zero.
So, Point (0, 6) lies on y-axis.

Question 20.
Statement A (Assertion): Height AB in the figure is 11.56 metres if BC is 20 metres.
Statement R (Reason): tan θ = \(\frac{AB}{BC}\) = \(\frac{Perpendicular}{base}\) where θ the angle ∠ACB. (1)
Answer:
(a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct explanation of assertion (A)

Explanation:
tan30° = \(\frac{AB}{BC}\) = \(\frac{AB}{20}\)
AB = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\) × 20 = \(\frac{20}{1073}\)
= 11.56 m

(Section B consists of 5 questions of 2 marks each.)

Question 21.
Given that \(\sqrt{5}\) is an irrational number, prove that 3 + \(\sqrt{5}\) is irrational.
OR
Show that, points (a, b + c), (b, c + a) and (c, a + b) are collinear. (2)
Answer:
Suppose 3 + \(\sqrt{5}\) is a rational number.
Let 3 + \(\sqrt{5}\) = p
∴ 3 = P – \(\sqrt{5}\)
⇒ 9 = (p – \(\sqrt{5}\))2 = p2 + 5 – 2\(\sqrt{5}\)p
⇒ 2\(\sqrt{5}\)p = p2 – 4
⇒ \(\sqrt{5}\) = \(\frac{p^2-4}{2 p}\)
which is a contradiction because Left hand side is an irrational number and right hand side is a rational number.
Hence, 3 + \(\sqrt{5}\) is an irrational number.
OR
We need to show:
a[(c + a) – (a + b)] + b[(a + b) – (b + c)] + c[(b + c) – (c + a)] = 0
Consider,
a[(c + a) – (a + b)] + b[{a + b) – (b + c)] + c[(b + c) – (c + a)]
= a[c – b] + b[a – c] + c[b – a]
= ac – ab + ba – be + cb – ca
= 0
Thus, the given points are collinear.

CBSE Sample Papers for Class 10 Maths Standard Set 4 with Solutions - 5
Then, AB = BC
⇒ (x + 1)2 + (y – 2)2 = (3 – x)2 + (2 – y)2
⇒ x2 + 2x + 1 + y2 – 4y + 4 = 9 – 6x + x2 + 4 + y2 – 4y
⇒ 2x + 1 – 4y + 4 = -6x + 9 – 4y + 4
⇒ 8x = 8
⇒ x = 1
Further, in ∆ABC,
AC2 = AB2 + BC2
⇒ (3 + 1)2 + (2 – 2)2 = (x + 1)2 + (y – 2)2 + (3 – x)2 + (2 – y)2
⇒ 16 = 2x2 + 2y2 + 2x + 1 – 4y + 4 – 6x + 9 – 4y + 4
Using x = 1, we get
16 = 2 + 2 y2 + 2 + 1 – 4y + 4 – 6 + 9 – 4y + 4
⇒ 2y2 – 8y = 0
⇒ 2y(y – 4) = 0
⇒ y = 0 or y = 4
Thus, the other two vertices are (1,0) and (1,4).

Question 26.
Show that 12n cannot end with the digit 0 or 5 for any natural number n.
OR
Which term of the AP: -2, -7, -12, ………., will be -77? Find the sum of this AP up to the term -77. (3)
Answer:
Given, number is 12n, where n ⊥ N
Now, 12n = (22 × 3)n
Now, for 12n to end with 0, it should have 2 as well as 5 in its prime factors. Also to end with 5, it requires atleast a single multiple of 5 in its prime factors, so 12n cannot end with the digit 0 or 5.
OR
Here, a = – 2 and d = -5
Let nth term of the A.P. be -77. Then,
– 77 = (- 2) + (n – 1) (- 5)
⇒ 5(n – 1) = 75
⇒ n – 1 = 15, or n = 16
⇒ Sum up to the term (-77)
= \(\frac{n}{2}\) [a + 1]
= \(\frac{16}{2}\) [(-2) + (-77)]
= 8 × (- 79)
= -632

Question 27.
Determine the number of real roots of the equation: (x2 + 1)2 – x2 = 0 (3)
Answer:
(x2 + 1)2 – x2 = 0
x4 + 2x2 + 1 – x2 = 0
x4 + x2 + 1 = 0
Put t = x2. Then
t2 + t + 1 = 0
Comparing this equation with ax2 + bx + c = 0, we get,
a = 1, b = 1, c = 1
So, D = b2 – 4ac = 1 – 4 = -3 < 0
which shows that given equation has no real roots.

Question 28.
5 books and 7 pens together cost ₹ 434, whereas 7 books and 5 pens together cost ₹ 550, find the total cost of 1 book and 2 pens. (3)
Answer:
Let, the cost of 1 book be ₹ x and cost of 1 pen be ₹ y.
5x + 7y = 434 …(i)
7x + 5y = 550 …(ii)
Add equations (i) and (ii) we get
12x + 12y = 984
x + y = 82 …(iii)
Subtract equation (ii) from (i), we get
2x- 2 y = 116
x – y = 58 …(iv)
Now, add equations (iii) and (iv), we get
2x = 140 x = 70
y = 70 – 58 = 12
Hence, the cost of 1 book is ₹ 70 and the cost of 2 pens is ₹ 24.

Question 34.
The following quadratic polynomials have zeroes; find them and confirm the relationship between the zeroes and the coefficients.
(A) x2 – 2x – 8
(B) 4s2 – 4s + 1
(C) 6x2 – 3 – 7x
(D) 4u2 + 8u
(E) t2 – 15 (5)
Answer:
x2 – 2x – 8
Comparing given polynomial with general form
ax2 + bx + c,
We get a = 1, b = – 2 and c = -8
We have, x2 – 2x – 8
= x2 – 4x + 2x – 8
= x(x – 4) + 2(x – 4)
= (x-4)(x+2)
Equating this equal to 0 will find value of 2 zeroes of this polynomial,
(x – 4)(x + 2) = 0
⇒ x = 4, – 2 are two zeroes.
Sum of zeroes = 4 – 2 = 2
\(\frac{-\text { Coefficient of } x}{\text { Coefficient of } x^2}=\frac{-b}{a}=\frac{-(-2)}{1}\)
Product of zeroes = 4 × – 2 = – 8
\(\frac{-\text { Coefficient of } x}{\text { Coefficient of } x^2}=\frac{c}{a}=\frac{-8}{1}\)

(B) 4s2 – 4s + 1
We have, 4s2 – 4s + 1
= 4s2 – 2s – 2s + 1
= 2s(2s – 1) – 1(2s – 1)
= (2s – 1)(2s – 1)
Equating this equal to 0 will values of 2 zeroes of this polynomial.
⇒ (2s – 1)(2s – 1) = 0
⇒ s = \(\frac{1}{2}\), \(\frac{1}{2}\)
Therefore, two zeroes of this polynomial are \(\frac{1}{2}\),\(\frac{1}{2}\)
Sum of zeroes = \(\frac{1}{2}\) + \(\frac{1}{2}\) = 1
= \(\frac{-(-1)}{1} \times \frac{4}{4}=\frac{-(-4)}{4}\)
= \(=\frac{-b}{a}=\frac{-\text { Coefficient of } x}{\text { Coefficient of } x^2}\)

Product of Zeroes = \(\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{c}{a}\)
= \(\frac{\text { Constant term }}{\text { Coefficient of } x^2}\)

(C) 6x2 – 3 – 7x
We have, 6x2 – 3 – 7x
= 6x2 – 7x – 3
= 6x2 – 9x + 2x – 3
= 3x(2x – 3) + 1(2x – 3)
= (2x – 3)(3x + 1)
Equating this equal to 0 will find values of 2 zeroes of this polynomial.
⇒ (2x – 3)(3x + 1) = 0
⇒ x = \(\frac{3}{2}\), \(\frac{-1}{3}\)
Therefore, two zeroes of this polynomial are \(\frac{3}{2}\), \(\frac{-1}{3}\)
Sum of zeroes = \(\frac{3}{2}\) + \(\frac{-1}{3}\) = \(\frac{9-2}{6}\) = \(\frac{7}{6}\)
= \(\frac{-(-7)}{6}\) = \(\frac{-b}{a}\)= \(\frac{-\text { Coefficient of } x}{\text { Coefficient of } x^2}\)

Product of Zeroes = \(\frac{3}{2} \times \frac{-1}{3}=\frac{-1}{2}=\frac{c}{a}\)
= \(\frac{\text { Constant term }}{\text { Coefficient of } x^2}\)

CBSE Sample Papers for Class 10 Maths Standard Set 4 with Solutions

(D) 4u2 + 8u
Here, a = 4, fa = 8 and c = 0
4u2 + 8 u = 4 u(u + 2)
Equating this equal to 0 will find values of 2 zeroes of this polynomial.
⇒ 4 u(u + 2) = 0
⇒ u = 0,-2
Therefore, two zeroes of this polynomial are 0,-2
Sum of zeroes = 0 – 2 = – 2
= \(\frac{-2}{1} \times \frac{4}{4}=\frac{-8}{4}=\frac{-b}{a}\)
= \(\frac{-\text { Coefficient of } x}{\text { Coefficient of } x^2}\)

Product of Zeroes = 0 × – 2 = 0
= \(\frac{0}{4}=\frac{c}{a}\)
= \(\frac{\text { Constant term }}{\text { Coefficient of } x^2}\)

(E) t2 – 15
We have, t2 – 15
⇒ t2 = 15
⇒ t= ±\(\sqrt{15}\)
Therefore, two zeroes of this polynomial are \(\sqrt{15}\),\(\sqrt{15}\)
Sum of zeroes = \(\sqrt{3}\) + (-\(\sqrt{3}\)) = 0
= \(\frac{0}{1}=\frac{-b}{a}\) = \(\frac{-\text { Coefficient of } x}{\text { Coefficient of } x^2}\)

Product of Zeroes = \(\sqrt{15}\) + \(\sqrt{-15}\) = -15
= \(\frac{-15}{1}=\frac{c}{a}\) = \(\frac{\text { Constant term }}{\text { Coefficient of } x^2}\)

CBSE Sample Papers for Class 10 Maths Standard Set 4 with Solutions - 18
Answer:
To Prove: PQRS is a parallelogram
Proof: In ∆DAC,
= \(\frac{DS}{SA}=\frac{DR}{RC}=1\)
[∵ S and R are mid-points of AD and DC]
⇒ SR || AC ,…(i) [by converse of B.P.T.]
In ∆BAC,
= \(\frac{DS}{SA}=\frac{DR}{RC}=1\)
[∵ P and Q are mid-points of AB and BC]
⇒ PQ || AC ….(ii) [by converse of B.P.T.]
From (i) and (ii), we get
⇒ SR || PQ ….(iii)
Similarly, join B to D and PS || QR

On the basis of the above information, answer the following questions:
(A) Find the length BS. (1)
(B) Find the angle that the jib, BR, makes with the horizontal. (1)
(C) In the diagram below, the jib BR, has been rotated and the length RS is increased. The load S is now on the ground at a point 8 m from A. Find the measure of the angle BRS and also find the angle through which the jib has been rotated.
CBSE Sample Papers for Class 10 Maths Standard Set 4 with Solutions - 21
OR
Find the length by which RS has increased. (2)
Answer:
(A) In ∆BSR, using Pythagoras theorem, we have
BR2 = BS2 + SR2
(16)2 = BS2 + 82
BS2 = 256 – 64
= 192
BS = 13.9 m

(B) In ∆BRS
sin B = \(\frac{SR}{BR}\) = \(\frac{8}{16}\)
∠B = 30°

C) In ∆BRS,
∠BRS = 180° – 90° – 30°
= 180° – 120°
= 60°

In ∆BRT,
cos ∠BRT = \(\frac{BR}{BT}\)
= \(\frac{8}{16}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
∠BRT = 60°
Angle of rotation = 60° – 30° = 30°

OR

In ∆BRT, using Pythagoras theorem, we have
BR2 = BT2 + RT2
⇒ (16)2 = BT2 + 82
⇒ BT2 = 256 – 64 = 192
⇒ BT = 13.9
Hence, increase in length
= 13.9 – 8 = 5.9 cm
From all the given options, the value nearest to 5.9 m is 6 m.

Question 37.
NITI aayog has tasked their statistical officer to create a model for farmers to be able to predict their produce output based on various factors.
To test the model out, the officer picked a local farmer who sells apples to check various factors like weight, bad apples, half-cooked, green vs red etc.
A box containing 250 apples was opened and each apple was weighed.
CBSE Sample Papers for Class 10 Maths Standard Set 4 with Solutions - 22
The distribution of the masses of the apples is given in the following table:

Marks Frequency
80-100 20
100-120 60
120-140 70
140-160 p
160-180 60

On the basis of the above information, answer the following questions:
(A) Find the value of p. (1)
(B) Find the mean mass of the apples. (1)
(C) Find the upper limit of the median class.
OR
Find the modal mass of the apples. (2)
Answer:
(A) Since, total apples are 250.
Then
20 + 60 + 70 + p + 60 = 250
p = 250 – 210 =40

(B)

Marks fi xi fixi
80-100 20 90 1800
100-120 60 110 6600
120-140 70 130 9100
140-160 40 150 6000
160-180 60 170 10200
250 33700

Then, mean = \(\frac{33700}{250}\) = 134.8 g

(C)

Marks Frequency c.f.
80-100 20 20
100-120 60 80
120-140 70 150
140-160 40 190
160-180 60 250
N = 250

Then, \(\frac{N}{2}\) = \(\frac{250}{2}\) = 125
So, cumulative frequency just greater than 125 is 150, which belong to class 120-140. So. median class is 120-140.
Hence, upper limit of median class is 140.

OR

Here, modal class is 120 – 140
Then, l = 120, h = 20
f0 = 60, f1 = 70, f2 = 40
Then, M0 = \(l+\left(\frac{f_1-f_0}{2 f_1-f_0-f_2}\right) \times h\)
= \(120+ \frac{70-60}{140-60-40} \times 20\)
= 120 + \(\frac{200}{40}\)
= 125 g

CBSE Sample Papers for Class 10 Maths Standard Set 4 with Solutions - 23
On the basis of the above information, answer the following questions:
(A) Find the probability that jayant will not get a ticket. (1)
(B) Pritam has one ₹ 1 coins and two coins. Find the probability that Pritam will get a ticket. (1)
(C) Urmila put one ₹ 1 coin and one ₹ 2 coin into the machine. Find the probability that the machine will not accept either of these coins.
OR
Jayant only has three ₹ 1 coins. Find the probability that the machine accept all these coins. Also find the probability that the machine will not accept a particular ₹ 1 coin. (2)
Answer:
(A) P(He will not get ticket) = 1 – 0.729 = 0.271

(B) P(getting a ticket) = 0.9 × 0.8 = 0.72

(C) P(it will not accept either coins) = P( wiLl not accept ₹ 1 coin) × P( will not accept ₹ 2 coin)
= [1 – P( will accept ₹ 1 coin)] × [1 – P( will accept ₹ 2 coin)]
= (1 – 0.9) × (1 – 0.8)
= 0.1 × 0.2 = 0.02
OR
P(All three coins will be accepted) = 0.9 × 0.9 × 0.9 = 0.729

P(will not accept ₹ 1 coin) = 1 – P( will accept ₹ 1 coin)
= 1 – 0.9 = 0.1
