(A) 6 cm
(B) 8 cm
(C) 10 cm
(D) 12 cm
Answer:
(C) 10 cm
Explanation:

AB is perpendicular to BC, therefore, ABC is a right-angle triangle.
In right angle triangle ABC, we have
AC = \(\sqrt{A B^2+B C^2}\) (By Pythagoras Theorem)
= \(\sqrt{12^2+16^2}\)
= \(\sqrt{144+256}\)
= \(\sqrt{400}\)
= 20
Therefore, AC = 20 cm (Diameter of the circle)
Radius = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 20 = 10 cm

(A) 60°
Explanation:
Here, ∠BAC = 30° (Given)
Then, ∠BOC = 2 × ∠BAC
= 2 × 30°
= 60°
OB = OC = Radius
∴ ∠OBC = ∠OCB = x (Angle opposite to equal side)
Now, in ΔOBC,
∠BOC + ∠OBC + ∠OCB = 180°
⇒ 60° + x + x = 180°
⇒ 2x = 120°
⇒ x = 60°

(A) 20°
(B) 30°
(C) 10°
(D) 40°
Answer:
(C) 10°
Explanation:
Angles (55° + 3a) and (115° – 2a) are supplement of each other.
Then, 55° + 3a + 115° – 2a = 180°
⇒ a + 170° = 180°
⇒ a = 10°

Directions: In the following questions, a statement of Assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R). Mark the correct choice as:

(A) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
(B) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
(C) Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
(D) Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.

Question 19.
Assertion (A): If x – 2 is a factor of P(x) = 2x ² + 3x – k then the value of k = 14.
Reason (R): (x – a) is a factor of polynomial P(x), if P(a) = 0.
Answer:
(A) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Explanation:
In the case of assertion (A):
Since, x – 2 is a factor of P(x) then P(2) = 0
⇒ P(2) = 2 × (2) ² + 3 × 2 – k = 0
⇒ 8 + 6 – k = 0
⇒ k = 14
∴ The assertion is true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Question 20.
Assertion (A): The sum of the pair of angles is 120° and 60° is supplementary.
Reason (R): Two angles, whose sum is 90° are called supplementary angles.
Answer:
(C) Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
Explanation:
In the case of assertion (A): The sum of 120° and 60° is 120° + 60° = 180° which is supplementary.
∴ The assertion is true.
In the case of Reason (R): Two angles whose sum is 90° are called complementary angles.
∴ The reason is false.

Section-B

Consists of 5 questions of 2 marks each.

Question 21.
PS is the altitude of an isosceles triangle PQR in which PQ = PR. Show that PS bisects ∠P.
Answer:

In ∆PQS and ∆PRS,
PQ = PR (Given)
PS = PS (Common)
∠PSQ = ∠PSR = 90° (PS is altitude)
By RHS rule,
∆PQS ≅ ∆PRS
or, ∠QPS = ∠RPS (CPCT)
∴ PS bisects ∠P.
Hence Proved.

Question 22.

Question 23.
Find the value of ‘k’ if (x – 1) is a factor of p(x) = 2x ² + kx + √2.
Answer:
Given, p(x) = 2x ² + kx + √2
Since, (x – 1) is a factor of p(x), then p(1) = 0.
⇒ 2(1) ² + k(1) + √2 = 0
⇒ 2 + k + √2 = 0
⇒ k = -2 – √2

Question 24.
ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral in which AB || CD. If ∠D = 70°, find all the remaining angles.
OR
ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral in which AC and BD are its diagonals. If ∠DBC = 55° and ∠BAC = 45°, find ∠BCD.
Answer:

Since the sum of the opposite pairs of angles in a cyclic quadrilateral is 180°.
Hence, ∠B + ∠D = 180°
or, ∠B = 180° – 70° = 110°
Again, AB || CD and AD is its transversal,
so ∠A + ∠D = 180° (Consecutive Interior Angles)
⇒ ∠A + 70° = 180°
⇒ ∠A = 180° – 70° = 110°
and ∠A + ∠C = 180°
⇒ 110° + ∠C = 180°
⇒ ∠C = 180° – 110° = 70°
OR

∠BAC = ∠BDC = 45° (angles in the same segment)
In ∆DBC,
∠DBC + ∠BCD + ∠CDB = 180° [Angle Sum Property]
⇒ 55° + ∠BCD + 45° = 180°
⇒ ∠BCD = 180° – 100° = 80°

Question 25.
Find the radius of a sphere whose surface area is 616 cm ² .
OR
Find the volume of a sphere whose surface area is 154 cm ² .
Answer:
Surface area of sphere = 4πr ²
∴ 4πr ² = 616
⇒ πr ² = 154
⇒ r ² = \(\frac{154 \times 7}{22}\) (∵ π = \(\frac{22}{7}\))
⇒ r ² = 49
⇒ r = 7
Hence, the radius of the sphere is 7 cm.
OR
Volume = \(\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3\)
But surface area = 4πr2 = 154
r ² = \(\frac{154}{4 \pi}=\frac{154 \times 7}{4 \times 22}\) (∵ π = \(\frac{22}{7}\))
r = \(\frac{7}{2}\) cm
∴ Volume = \(\frac{539}{3}\) or 179.67 cm3 (Approx)

Infinite lines can pass through the point (-1, 2).

Question 27.
In the given figure, PQ = QR = RS and ∠PQR = 128°. Find ∠PTQ, ∠PTS, and ∠ROS.

Answer:

Given, PQ = QR = RS, ∠PQR = 128°
In ∆PQR,
∠1 = ∠2 = \(\frac{\left(180^{\circ}-128^{\circ}\right)}{2}\) = 26°
∴ ∠PTQ = ∠QRP = 26° (Angle in the same segment)
(i) ∠PTQ = ∠QTR = ∠RTS = 26°
(∴ Equal chords make the equal angles at circumference or center)

(ii) ∠PTS = ∠PTQ + ∠4 + ∠3
= 26° + 26° + 26°
= 78°
Also, ∠ROS = 2∠RTS (Angle subtended by an arc at the center is twice at circumference)
= 2 × 26°
= 52°

Question 28.
In which quadrant or on which axis does each of the following points lie (-5, 3), (4, -3), (5, 0), (6, 6), (-5, -4)?
OR
Write the coordinates of each point P, Q, R, S, T, and O from the figure given below.

Answer:
In point (-5, 3), x < 0 and y > 0
∴ Point (-5, 3) lies in the II quadrant.
In point (4, -3), x > 0 and y < 0
∴ Point (4, -3) lies in the IV quadrant.
In point (5, 0), x > 0 and y = 0
∴ Point (5, 0) lies on the X-axis.
In point (6, 6), x > 0 and y > 0
∴ Point (6, 6) lies in the I quadrant.
In point (-5, -4), x < 0 and y < 0
∴ Point (-5, -4) lies in the III quadrant.
OR

Co-ordinates of P = (1, 1)
Co-ordinates of Q = (-3, 0)
Co-ordinates of R = (-2, -3)
Co-ordinates of S = (2, 1)
Co-ordinates of T = (4, -2)
Co-ordinates of O = (0, 0)

Question 29.
In the given figure, if ∠1 = ∠3, ∠2 = ∠4, and ∠3 = ∠4, write the relation between ∠1 and ∠2, using Euclid’s axiom.

OR
In the given figure, we have ∠ABC = ∠ACB, ∠3 = ∠4. Show that ∠1 = ∠2.

Answer:
Here, ∠3 = ∠4 and ∠1 = ∠3 and ∠2 = ∠4.
Euclid’s first axiom says that things which are equal to the same thing are equal.
Given, ∠3 = ∠4 and ∠1 = ∠3
∴ ∠1 = ∠4
Again given ∠2 = ∠4
and ∠1 = ∠4 (Proved above)
∴ ∠1 = ∠2
OR
Given, ∠ABC = ∠ACB
⇒ ∠1 + ∠4 = ∠2 + ∠3
⇒ ∠1 + ∠4 – ∠4 = ∠2 + ∠3 – ∠3 (As, ∠3 = ∠4)
If equals are subtracted from equals then remainders are also equal.
∴ ∠1 = ∠2

Question 30.
An umbrella is made by stitching ten triangular pieces of cloth, each measuring 60 cm, 60 cm, and 20 cm. Find the area of the cloth required for the umbrella.
Answer:
Area of cloth required = 10 × Area of cloth for one piece
Area of one piece of cloth having sides 60 cm, 60 cm, and 20 cm.
s = \(\frac{60+60+20}{2}\) = 70 cm
∴ Area = |\(\sqrt{70(70-60)(70-60)(70-20)}\)|
= \(\sqrt{70 \times 10 \times 10 \times 50}\)
= \(\sqrt{7 \times 10 \times 10 \times 10 \times 5 \times 10}\)
= 10 × 10 × \(\sqrt{35}\)
= 100\(\sqrt{35}\) cm ²
∴ Area of cloth required = 10 × 100 × \(\sqrt{35}\) = 1000\(\sqrt{35}\) cm ²

Answer:
Section-D
LCM of 3, 4, 6, and 12 is 12.

OR
Let x = \(0 . \overline{7}\) = 0.777….. …..(i)
Multiply both sides by 10
10x = 7.777….. …..(ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii),
9x = 7
⇒ x = \(\frac{7}{9}\)
Let x = \(0.4 \overline{7}\) = 0.477….. …(iii)
Multiply both sides of (iii) by 10
10x = 4.777… …….(iv)
Multiply both sides of (iv) by 10
100x = 47.777… ..(v)
Subtracting (iv) from (v),
90x = 43
x = \(\frac{43}{90}\)
∴ \(0.6+0 . \overline{7}+0.4 \overline{7}\) = \(\frac{6}{10}+\frac{7}{9}+\frac{43}{90}\)
= \(\frac{54+70+43}{90}\)
= \(\frac{167}{90}\)

Question 33.

(a) How much sodium silicate (mL) is used for making 10 L of soap?
(b) Write an equation to show the relation between quantities of sodium silicate and liquid soap.
Answer:
(a) According to graph,
In 1000 mL of soap 100 mL of sodium silicate is used, Which means 1 L of soap has 100 mL of sodium silicate.
So, in 10 L of soap sodium silicate used will be = 10 × 100 = 1000 mL

(b) Let soap = x
Sodium silicate = y
Thus, x = 10y

Question 34.
A right-angled ΔABC with sides 3 cm, 4 cm, and 5 cm is revolved about the fixed side of 4 cm. Find the volume of the solid generated. Also, find the total surface area of the solid.
OR
What length of tarpaulin 3 m wide will be required to make a conical tent of height 8 m and base radius 6 m? Assume that the extra length of material that will be required for stitching margins and wastage in cutting is approximately 20 cm (Use π = 3.14).
Answer:

Above given cone is formed with a radius of 3 cm, height of 4 cm, and slant height of 5 cm when revolved about the fixed side of 4 cm.
V = \(\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h\)
= \(\frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{22}{7} \cdot(3)(3)(4)\)
= 37.71 cm ³
Total Surface Area = πrl + πr ² = πr(l + r)
= \(\frac{22}{7}\) × 3(5 + 3)
= 75.43 cm ²
OR
Conical tent:
height = 8 m
base radius = 6 m

l ² = r ² + h ²
⇒ l ² = 8 ² + 6 ²
⇒ l = \(\sqrt{64+36}\)
⇒ l = 10 m
C.S.A. of tent = πrl unit ²
C.S.A. of tent = 3.14 × 6 × 10 m ² = 188.4 m ²
Area of tarpaulin = C.S.A. of tent
width × length of tarpaulin = 188.4 m ²
3 × length of tarpaulin = 188.4 m ²
length of tarpaulin = \(\frac{188.4}{3}\) = 62.8 m
The extra length required for stitching and wastage of cutting = 20 cm = 0.20 m
∴ Total length of tarpaulin = 62.8 + 0.2 = 63 m

Question 36.
A shipment service provider uses three types of containers for shipping materials. The height and width of the three containers are the same. The containers’ height is 0.15 m more than their width, and the volume of the smallest container is 652 m ³ .

(i) Write a polynomial relating container I’s length, breadth and height with its volume.
(ii) What is the volume of container III?
OR
What is the height of each container?
(iii) Is the volume of each container the same?
Answer:
(i) Width of the container I = (x) m
Height of the container I = (x + 0.15) m
Length of the container I = (x + 2) m
Volume of container I = 652 m ³
⇒ x(x + 0.15)(x + 2) = 652
∴ Polynomial relating length, breadth, height, and volume of container I is x ³ + 2.15×2 + 0.3x = 652.

(ii) Width of all three containers = x = 8m
Volume of container III = (x) (x + 0.15) (4) (x + 2)
By substituting the value of (x) in the above formula we get,
Volume = 8 × (8 + 0.15) × 4(8 + 2)
= 8 × 8.15 × 40
= 2608 m ³
OR
Height of each container is same which is (x + 0.15) = (8 + 0.15) = 8.15 m

(iii) No, As the length of each container is different. therefore, the volume of each container is not the same.

Question 37.
BSE stands for a disease called Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy. “Bovine” means that the disease affects cows, “spongiform” refers to the way the brain from a sick cow looks spongy under a microscope, and “encephalopathy” indicates that it is a disease of the brain. This disease is commonly called “mad cow disease.”

A farmer has a field ABCD formed by two pairs of parallel roads as shown below in which l || m and p || q. His four cows suffering from BSE. Thus, he tied them at four corners of the field ABCD.

(i) If ∠BAC = 30°, find ∠CAD.
(ii) If the cow at C and the cow at D is 2 km apart, then what is the distance between the cow at A and the cow at B?
OR
If we join BD such that BD meets AC at O and ∠BOC = 30°, then what is the measure of ∠AOD?
(iii) If ∠B = 45°, then ∠D will be?
Answer:

(i) According to the figure,
AC is diagonal,
∴ ∠BAC = ∠CAD (Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect its angles)
Thus ∠CAD = 30°

(ii) Since, p || q and l || m thus, ABCD is a parallelogram.
Also, since opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal.
So, AB = CD
Given, the distance between the cow at C and the cow at D
∴ CD = 2 km
⇒ AB = 2 km
Hence, the distance between cow at A and cow at B is 2 km.
OR
∠BOC = ∠AOD (vertically opposite angles are equal)
∠BOC = 30° (given)
∴ ∠AOD = 30°

(iii) ∠B = ∠D (Opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal)
∠B = 45°
∴ ∠D = 45°

Question 38.
Four Friends Rima, Mohan, Sohan, and Sita are sitting on the circumference of a circular park. Their locations are marked by points A, P, Q, and R. Rohit joins them and sits at the center of the circular park, so he is equidistant from all the other friends. His position is marked as O. They are sitting in such a way that ∠PQR = 110°.

(i) What is a measure of reflex ∠POR?
(ii) What is the measure of ∠PAR?
OR
Find ∠OPR?
(iii) Which mathematical concept is used here?
Answer:

(i) Reflex ∠POR = 2∠PQR
(∵ The angle subtended by an arc at the center is double the angle subtended by it in the remaining part of the circle.)
∴ Reflex ∠POR = 2 × 110° = 220°

(ii) ∠PAR + ∠PQR = 180°
(∵ The sum of opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral is 180°)
∴ ∠PAR = 180° – 110° = 70°
OR
In ∆OPR,
OP = OR (equal radii)
∴ ∠OPR = ∠ORP = x° (Angle opposite to equal sides are equal)
∠OPR + ∠ORP + ∠POR = 180°
⇒ x + x + 140° = 180° (∵ ∠POR = 2∠PAR)
⇒ 2x = 40°
⇒ x = 20°
Hence, ∠OPR = 20°

(iii) Concepts based on circles and cyclic quadrilateral are used here.
