1. (b) (2, 5)

Explanation: Given A(0, 3) and B(6, 9) and let (x, y) be the coordinates of P. Since the line is trisected then AP : PB = 1 : 2
Using section formula,
$$(x,y)=\lbrack\frac{m_1x_2+m_2x_1}{m_1+m_2}\frac{m_1y_2+m_2y_1}{m_+m_2}\rbrack\\x_1 = 0, y_1 = 3, x_2=6\\y_2=9,m_1=1,m_2=2\\(x,y)=(\frac{1×6+2×0}{1+2},\frac{1×9+2×3}{1+2})\\=(\frac{6+0}{3}\frac{9+6}{3})\\=(2,5)\\\text{So, coordinates of P are (2, 5).}$$
So, coordinates of P are (2, 5).

2. (c) A = 52.5°, = 7.5°

Explanation: Given, tan (A + B) = √3=tan60°

⇒ A + B = 60° ...(i)

and tan (A – B) = 1 = tan 45°

or A – B = 45° ...(ii)

Adding (i) and (ii), we get 2A = 105°

A = 52.5°

Put A = 52.5° in equation (i), we get

52.5º + B = 60°

B = 60° – 52.5°

⇒ B = 7.5°

Hence A = 52.5° and B = 7.5°.

3. (b) – 4

Explanation: Given : nth term of an A.P.,

an = 7 – 4n

⇒ an + 1 = 7 – 4(n + 1)

= 7 – 4n – 4 = 3 – 4n

So, common difference,  

d = an + 1 – an

= (3 – 4n) – (7 – 4n) = – 4

4. (c) 0.7

Explanation: Given, P (winning) = 0·3

So, P(losing) = 1 – 0·3 = 0·7

5. (a) 5.5

Explanation:

From the table,  Σfi = 75

Σfi xi = 412·5

We know, 
$$\overline{x}=\frac{\Sigma f_i x_i}{\Sigma f_i}\\⇒\overline{x}=\frac{412.5}{75}\\⇒\overline{x}=5.5\\\text{Mean of given distribution is 5.5.}$$

6. (d) 30°

121

Explanation: In ΔABC, tan 60° =(h/x)

⇒ √3 = (h/x)

h = x√3      …(i)

In ΔADB, tan θ =(h/3x)

⇒ tan θ = (x√3x/3x)

⇒ tan θ = (1/√3)

⇒ tan θ = tan 30°

⇒ θ = 30°

7. (b) 4

Explanation: A composite number is a natural number which has more than two factors. Here, factors of 4 = 1, 2, 4.

∴ 4 is a smallest composite number.

∴ 4 is a smallest composite number.

8. (c) 10 m

Explanation: Let, DC be the tower of height 15m. and AB be the height of pole

122

Now, in ΔAED, tan 30° =(DE/AE)

⇒(1/√3)=(DE/AE)

⇒ AE = √3 DE  …(i)

In ΔBCD, tan 60° =(DC/BC)

⇒ √3 =(15/BC)

⇒ BC =(15/√3)

⇒ BC = 5 √3  …(ii)

As, AE = BC

∵ √3 DE = 5 √3 [using (i) and (ii)]

⇒ DE = 5 m

Height of pole, AB = EC = DC – DE

= 15 – 5 = 10 m.

Thus, height of the pole is 10m.

9. (a) 32

Explanation: Given : OA = OB = 10.5 cm

and ∠AOB = 60°

Perimeter of the sector = OA + OB + AB
$$= 10.5+10.5+\frac{60°}{360°}×2×\frac{22}{7}×10.5\space\space\space\space [l=\frac{\theta}{360°}×2\pi r]\\= 21 + 11 = 32 cm.$$

10. (b) 13.5 m

Explanation: In ∆ABC,

$$\frac{AP}{AB}=\frac{3.5}{3.5+7}=\frac{3.5}{10.5}=\frac{1}{3}\\\text{and}\space\frac{AQ}{AC}=\frac{3}{3+6}=\frac{3}{9}=\frac{1}{3}\\⇒\frac{AP}{AB}=\frac{AQ}{AC}=\frac{1} {3}\\\text{Also}\space∠A=∠A[Common]\\⇒ ∆APQ ~ ∆ABC [SAS criterion]\\\text{Now,}\space \frac{AP}{AB}=\frac{PQ}{BC}\text{[Corresponding sides of similar triangles]}\\⇒\frac{3.5}{10.5}=\frac{4.5}{BC}\\⇒ BC = 4·5 × 3 = 13.5 cm.$$

11. (a) 3 median–2 mean

Explanation: The relationship between three measures of central tendencies is given by

Mode = 3 median – 2 mean.

12. (b) 2

Explanation: A circle can have maximum two parallel tangents.

13. (b) 30°

Explanation: Given,
$$\text{Explanation: Given,}\space sin\alpha=\frac{ \sqrt{3}}{2}\space\space\space[sin60°\frac{ \sqrt{3}}{2}]\\⇒sin\alpha=sin60°$$

⇒ α = 60°

and cos β = 0

cos β = cos 90°

⇒ β = 90°

Now, β – α = 90° – 60° = 30°

14. (b) 2r cm

Explanation: Here, maximum diameter of sphere is equal to the diameter of cylinder.

128

·.· Radius of cylinder = r

∴ Diameter of cylinder = Diameter of sphere = 2r

15. (a) 18

Explanation: Prime factors of 36 = 3 × 3 × 2 × 2

Prime factors of 54 = 3 × 3 × 2 × 3

Hence HCF (35, 54) = 3 × 3 × 2 = 18

16. (c) k ≠ 10

Explanation: Given system of equations are,

3x – y – 5 = 0

and 6x – 2y – k = 0

For the system to have no solution,
$$\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{b_1}{b_2}≠\frac{c_1}{c_2}\\⇒\frac{3}{6}=\frac{-1}{-2}≠\frac{-5}{-k}\\or\frac{5}{k}≠\frac{1}{2}⇒ k ≠ 10.$$

17. (a) (7/2)

Explanation: Here,
$$\text{Explanation: Here,}\space\alpha+\beta=\frac{-(-7)}{5}\\\alpha\beta=\frac{2}{5}\\\frac{1}{\alpha}+\frac{1}{\beta}=\frac{\alpha+\beta}{\alpha\beta}=\frac{\frac{7}{5}}{\frac{2}{5}}=\frac{7}{2}$$

18. (d) no solution

Explanation: Given, equations are x + 2y + 5 = 0 and – 3x – 6y + 1 = 0

Here, a1 = 1, b1 = 2, c1 = 5

and a2 = – 3, b2 = – 6, c2 = 1
$$\frac{a_1}{a_2}=-\frac{1}{3},\frac{b_1}{b_2}=-\frac{2}{6}=-\frac{1}{3},\frac{c_1}{c_2}=\frac{5}{1}\\\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{b_1}{b_2}≠\frac{c_1}{c_2}\\\text{Hence, the pair of equations has no solution.}$$

19. (c) Assertion is true but the Reason is false.

Explanation: Suppose the given system of equations has infinitely many solutions if
$$\frac{2}{2a}=\frac{3}{a+b}=-\frac{-7}{-28}\\\frac{1}{a}=\frac{3}{a+b}=-\frac{1}{4}\\⇒3a = a + b\\⇒ 2a – b = 0\\\text{Also clearly}\space a=4\space\text{and}\space a+b=12\\⇒\\b = 8\\2a – b = 8 – 8 = 0\\2a – b = 8 – 8 = 0\\\text{So, the assertion is true.}\\\text{On the other hand, a pair of equations have a unique solution, if}\\\frac{a_1}{a_2}≠\frac{b_1}{b_2}\\\text{Here,}\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}\\\frac{b_1}{b_2}=\frac{-5}{-10}=\frac{1}{2}\\\frac{a_1}{a_2}≠\frac{b_1}{b_2}$$
So, reason is false. Hence correct option is (c).

20. (d) Assertion is false but the Reason is true.

Explanation: The highest power of x in the polynomial 4x3 – x2 + 5x4 + 3x – 2 is 4.

Therefore, the degree of the polynomial p(x) is 4.

Hence, assertion is false but reason is true.

(Any two)

Section - B

21. Let p(x) = 6x2 – 7x – 3

Put p(x) = 0

6x2 – 7x – 3 = 0

⇒ 6x2 – 9x + 2x – 3 = 0

⇒ 3x(2x – 3) + 1(2x – 3) = 0

⇒ (3x + 1) (2x – 3) = 0

⇒ (3x + 1) = 0 or (2x – 3) = 0

$$⇒x=\frac{-1}{3}\space or\space x=\frac{3}{2}\\\text{So, zeroes of the polynomial are α}=\frac{-1}{3}\space and β=\frac{3}{2}\\\text{Now,}α+β=-\frac{1}{3}+\frac{3}{2}=-\frac{-2+9}{6}=\frac{7}{6}\\⇒ αβ=−\frac{1}{3}×\frac{3}{2}=-\frac{1}{2}\\\text{Here, in this polynomial, a = 6, b = – 7, c = – 3}\\So,-\frac{b}{a}=\frac{(-7)}{6}=\frac{7}{6}\\\text{and}\space\frac{c}{a}=\frac{-3}{6}=\frac{-1}{2}\\⇒α +β=\frac{-b}{a},αβ=\frac{c}{a}\\\text{Relationship holds.}$$

22. Given A = (1, 4), B = (– 1, 2) and P = (x, y)

Also, AP = BP
$$\sqrt{(x − 1)^2 + (y − 4)^2}=\sqrt{(x + 1)^2 + (y − 2)^2}$$

on squaring both sides,

⇒ (1 – x)2 + (4 – y)2 = (x + 1)2 + (y – 2)2

⇒ 1 + x2 – 2x + 16 + y2 – 8y = x2 + 1 + 2x + y2 + 4 – 4y

– 2x – 8y + 16 = 2x – 4y + 4

⇒ – 2x – 2x – 8y + 4y = 4 – 16

⇒ – 4x – 4y = – 12

⇒ – 4(x + y) = – 12

⇒ x + y = 3.     Ans.

OR

Given equations are, x – y = – 1          ...(i)

and 3x + 2y = 12       ...(ii)

Multiplying equation (i) with 2, we get

2x – 2y = – 2        ...(iii)

Adding equations (ii) and (iii), we get

5x = 10

⇒ x = 2

Putting x = 2 in equation (i), we get

2 – y = – 1

⇒ – y = – 3

⇒ y = 3.

Hence, the values of x and y are 2 and 3 respectively.         Ans.

25. Since, jacks, queens and kings of red colour are removed. Then,

Total number of possible outcomes = 52 – 6 = 46

(i) Let E1 be the event of getting a black king.

Section - C

26. Let O be the centre of the given circle. Suppose the tangent at P meets BC at Q. Join BP.

To Prove : BQ = QC

136

Proof : Since, tangent at any point of circle is perpendicular to radius through the point of contact.

∴ ∠ABC = 90°

In ∆ABC, ∠1 + ∠5 = 90° [y angle sum property, ∠ABC = 90°]

and, ∠3 = ∠1

[Angle between tangent and the chord equals angle made by the chord in alternate segment]

Now, ∠3 + ∠5 = 90°        ...(i)

Also, ∠APB = 90°    [Angle in semi-circle]

∴ ∠3 + ∠4 = 90° [∠APB + ∠BPC = 180°, linear pair] ...(ii)

From (i) and (ii), we get

∠3 + ∠5 = ∠3 + ∠4

or ∠5 = ∠4

∴ PQ = QC [Sides opposite to equal angles are equal]

Also, QP = QB

[Tangents drawn from an internal point to a circle are equal]

∴ QB = QC    Hence Proved.

(i) Let the fixed charges = ₹ x

Let the charge per day = ₹ y

Latika kept a book for 6 days

She pays fixed charges for 2 days and additional charges for 4 days.

x + 4y = 22    ...(i)

Anand kept book for 4 days.

He pays fixed charges for 2 days and additional charges for 2 days.

x + 2y = 16    ...(ii)

Subtracting equation (ii) from (i), we get

⇒ (x + 4y) – (x + 2y) = 22 – 16

⇒ x + 4y – x – 2y = 6

⇒ 2y = 6

y = 3

Therefore, the charges per day is ₹ 3.      Ans.

(ii) Put the value of y in equation (i),

x + 4y = 22

⇒ x + 4(3) = 22

⇒ x + 12 = 22

⇒ x = 22 – 12

35. Let the usual speed be x km/hr.

$$\text{We know, Time }=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Distance}}\\So,\text{Usual time taken}=\frac{1500}{x}hr.\\\text{Increased speed = (x + 100) km/hr}\\\text{Thus, New time taken}=\frac{1500}{x+100}\\\text{Now, according to the question}\\\frac{1500}{x+100}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1500}{x}\\⇒\frac{1500}{x}-\frac{1500}{x+100}=\frac{1}{2}\\⇒1500[\frac{1}{x}-\frac{1}{x+1000}]=\frac{1}{2}\\⇒15000(\frac{x+100-x}{x(x+100)})=\frac{1}{2}\\⇒1500(\frac{100}{x(x+100)})=\frac{1}{2}$$

⇒ x(x + 100) = 300000

⇒ x2 + 100x – 300000 = 0

⇒ x2 + 600x – 500x – 300000 = 0

⇒ x(x + 600) – 500(x + 600) = 0

⇒ (x + 600) (x – 500) = 0

x = 500 and – 600

As speed cannot be negative, so the original speed of the plane is 500 km/hr.    Ans.

OR

Let total time be n minutes.

Since, policeman runs after 1 minute so he will catch the thief in (n –1) minutes.

Total distance covered by thief = 100 m/minute × n minute

= (100 n) m

Now, total distance covered by the policeman

= (100)m + (100 + 10)m + (100 + 10 + 10)m + ......+ (n – 1) terms

i.e., 100 + 110 + 120 + ..... + (n – 1) terms

∴ Sn – 1 =(n-1/2)[2×100+(n-2)10]

Now, (n-1/2)[200+(n-2)×10]=100n.

⇒ (n – 1) (200 + 10n – 20) = 200 n.

⇒ 200 n – 200 + 10n2 – 10n + 20 – 20n = 200n

⇒ 10n2 – 30n – 180 = 0

⇒ n2 – 3n – 18 = 0

⇒ n2 – (6 – 3) n – 18 = 0

⇒ n2 – 6n + 3n – 18 = 0

⇒ n(n – 6) + 3(n – 6) = 0

⇒ (n + 3) (n – 6) = 0

∴ n = 6 or n = – 3 (neglect)

Hence, policeman will catch the thief in (6 – 1) i.e., 5 minutes.         Ans.

Here, Σfi = N = 60

∴ (N /2) = (60 /2) = 30

Now, the class interval whose cumulative frequency is just greater than 30 is 219.5 – 229.5

∴ Median class is 219.5 – 229.5             Ans.

OR

$$\text{Median}=l+(\frac{\frac{N}{2}-cf}{f})×h\\=219.5+(\frac{\frac{60}{2}-18}{26})×10\\= 224.12\\\text{∴ Median of the distance travelled is 224.12 km.\space Ans.}\\\text{(iii) We know, Mode = 3 Median – 2 Mean}\\\text{Mean}=\frac{(3 Median-Mode)}{2}\\=\frac{(672.36-223.75)}{2}\\=224.29 km.\space Ans.$$

38. (i) ∠OCA = 90°

[Since, radius at the point of contact is perpendicular to tangent]

In ΔOAC, ∠OCA + ∠OAC + ∠AOC = 180° (Angle sum property)

⇒ 90° + ∠OAC + ∠AOC = 180°

⇒ ∠OAC + ∠AOC = 90°

⇒ x + y = 90°. Ans.

(ii) Since, OB ⊥ PB [Since, radius at the point of contact is perpendicular to tangent]

and ∠PBA = 50°    (Given)

∴ ∠OBA = 90° – 50°

= 40°

Also, OA = OB [Radii of circle]

∴ ∠OAB = ∠OBA

= 40° [Angle opposite to equal sides are equal]

OR

Here, ∠ABC = 90° (Angle in a semicircle)

So, in ∆ABC, ∠BAC = 180° – 90° – 55° = 35°

Also, ∠OAT = 90°

⇒ ∠BAT + ∠OAB = 90°

⇒ ∠BAT = 90° – 35°

= 55° Ans.

(iii) Here, ∠PAB = 72°

∴ ∠OAB = 90° – 72° = 18°

Also, ∠AOB = 132° [Given]

Now, in DOAB, ∠ABC = 180° – 132° – 18°

= 30°.  Ans.
