Q 3. Mr. Malik went on a tour to Goa. He took a room in a hotel for two days at the rate of Rs. 5000 per day. On the same day, his friend John also joined him. Hotel provided an extra bed charging Rs. 1000 per day for the bed. How much GST, at the rate of 28% is charged by the hotel in the bill to Mr. Malik for both the days? [3M]
Solution: According to the question,
The amount of bill = 5000 × 2 + 1000 + 1000
= 10,000 + 2000 = Rs. 12,000
GST = 28% of 12,000 = 
GST charged by Mr. Malik Rs. 3360.
Q 4. A is a dealer in Meerut (U.P.). He supplies goods/services, worth Rs. 15,000 to a dealer B in Ratlam (M.P.). Dealer B, in turn, supplies the same goods/services to dealer C in Jabalpur (M.P.) at a profit of Rs. 3000. If rate of tax (under GST system) is 18%, find [4M]
- The cost of goods/services to the dealer C in Jabalpur.
- Net tax payable by dealer B.
Solution: For A (case of inter-state transaction)
S.P. in Meerut = Rs. 15,000
For B (case of inter-state transaction)
C.P.= Rs. 15,000
IGST = 18% of 15,000 =
= Rs. 2700
Input tax for B = Rs. 2,700
C.P. in Ratlam = Rs. 2700 and profit = Rs. 3000
S.P. in Ratlam = 15,000 + 3000 = Rs. 18,000
For C (case of intra-state transaction)
C.P = Rs. 18,000
CGST = 9% of 18,000 =
= Rs. 1620
SGST =
= Rs. 1620
Output tax for B = Rs. 3240
i. C.P. for the dealer C in Jabalpur
= S.P. for the dealer in Ratlam + GST
= 18,000 + 1620 + 1620
= Rs. 21,240
ii. Net GST payable by the dealer B
= Output tax – Input tax
= 1620 + 1620 – 2700
= Rs. 540
Q 5. For a dealer A, the list price of an article is Rs. 9000, which he sells to dealer B at some lower price. Further, dealer B sells the same article to a customer at its list price. If the rate of GST is 18% and dealer B paid a tax, under GST, equal to Rs. 324 to the government, find the amount (inclusive of GST) paid by dealer B. [4M]
Solution: Let A sells to dealer B at Rs. x lower price.
According to the question,
Net Tax paid by dealer B is
⇒ Out put tax – Input Tax = Rs. 324
⇒ 18% of 9000 – 18% of (9000 – x) = 324
⇒ 1620 – 1620 + 18% of x = 324
⇒ 18% of x = 324
⇒ x = 1800
Hence, selling price of B = 9000 – 1800 = Rs. 7200
The amount (inclusive of GST) paid by dealer B
= 7200 + 18% of 7200 = 7200 + 1296 = Rs. 8496
Q 6. A is a manufacturer of T.V. sets in Delhi. He manufacturers a particular brand of T.V. set and marks it at Rs. 75,000. He then sells this T.V. set to a wholesaler B in Punjab at a discount of 30%. The wholesaler B raises the marked price of the T.V. set bought by 30% and then sells it to dealer C in Delhi. If the rate of GST = 5% find tax (under GST) paid by wholesaler B to the government. [4M]
Solution: Initial marked price by manufacturer A is Rs. 75,000
B bought the T.V. at a discount of 30%.
Cost price of B = 70% of 75,000 = Rs. 52,500 ….(i)
GST paid by B for purchase = 5% of 52,500 = Rs. 2625 ….(ii)
B sells T.V. by increasing marked price by 30%.
Selling price for B = 75,000 + 30% of 75,000 = Rs. 97,500 …(iii)
GST charged by B on selling of T.V. = 5% of 97,500 = Rs. 4875 … (iv)
GST paid by B to the government
= GST charged on selling price – GST paid against purchase price
= 4875 – 2625
= Rs. 2250

Solution: Comparing x2 + 2(m – 3)x + (m + 3) = 0 with ax2 + bx + c = 0
a = 1, b = 2(m – 3) and c = m + 3
According to the question,
b2 – 4ac = 0
⟹ [2(m – 3)]2 – 4 × 1 × (m + 3) = 0
⟹ 4(m – 3)2 – 4(m + 3) = 0
⟹ 4(m2 – 6m + 9 – m – 3) = 0
⟹ 4(m2 – 7m + 6) = 0
⟹ m2 – 7m + 6 = 0
⟹ m2 – 6m – m + 6 = 0
⟹ m(m – 6) – (m – 6) = 0
⟹ (m – 6)(m – 1) = 0
⟹ m = 6 or m = 1
Q 2. Solve:
[3M]
Solution:

⟹ 2[x2 - (x - 2)2] = 3x (x - 2)
⟹ 2[x2 - x2 + 4x - 4] = 3x2 - 6x
⟹ 2(4x - 4) = 3x2 - 6x
⟹ 8x - 8 = 3x2 - 6x
⟹ 3x2 - 6x - 8x + 8 = 0
⟹ 3x2 - 14x + 8 = 0
⟹ 3x2 - 12x - 2x + 8 = 0
⟹ 3x(x - 4) -2(x - 4) = 0
⟹ (x - 4)(3x - 2) = 0
⟹ x = 4 or x =

a = 8, b = 8 and c = -7

Q 4. Solve for x:
[4M]
Solution:

⟹ 4(y2 - 4) - 8y = 29
⟹ 4y2 - 16 - 8y = 29
⟹ 4y2 - 8y - 45 = 0
⟹ 4y2 - 18y + 10y - 45 = 0
⟹ 2y(2y - 9) + 5(2y - 9) = 0
⟹ (2y + 5)(2y - 9) = 0

⟹ 2(x2 + 1) = -5x
⟹ 2x2 + 5x + 2 = 0
⟹ 2x2 + 4x + x + 2 = 0
⟹ 2x(x + 2) + (x + 2) = 0
⟹ (2x + 1)(x + 2) = 0

⟹ 2(x2 + 1) = 9x
⟹ 2x2 - 9x + 2 = 0
Comparing 2x2 - 9x + 2 = 0 With ax2 + bx + c = 0,
a = 2, b = -9 and c = 2

Q 5. The sum of a square of a certain whole number and 45 times it is 900. Find the number. [3M]
Solution: Let the number be x.
According to the question,
x2 + 45x = 900
⟹ x2 + 45x – 900 = 0
⟹ x2 + 60x – 15x – 900 = 0
⟹ x(x + 60) – 15(x + 60) = 0
⟹ (x + 60)(x – 15) = 0
⟹ x = – 60 or x = 15
As x should be a whole number.
Hence, the required number is 15.
Q 6. The product of a boy’s age two years ago with his age 5 years later is 60. Find his present age. [3M]
Solution: Let the boy’s present age be x years.
His age two years ago was (x – 2) years.
His age five years later will be (x + 5) years.
According to the question,
(x – 2)(x + 5) = 60
x2 + 3x – 10 = 60
x2 + 3x – 70 = 0
(x + 10)(x – 7) = 0
x = -10 or x = 7
x cannot be negative, so x = 7.
Hence, the boy’s present age is 7 years.
Q 7. By increasing the speed of a car by 15 km/hr, the time of the journey for a distance of 60 km is reduced by 20 minutes. Find the original speed of the car. [4M]
Solution: Let x km/hr be the original speed of the car.
Time taken to cover 60 km =
hour
Time taken to cover 60 km when the speed is increased by 15 km/hr =
hour
It is given that the time to cover 60 km reduced by 20 minutes =
hour
According to the question,

x(x + 15) = 2700
x2 + 15x - 2700 = 0
x2 + 60x - 45x - 2700 = 0
x(x + 60) - 45(x + 60) = 0
(x + 60)(x - 45) = 0
x = -60 or x = 45
Since x cannot be negative.
Hence, x = 45
Thus, the original speed of the car is 45 km/hr.
Q 8. The area of a big room is 375 m2. If the length is decreased by 10 m and the breadth is increased by 10 m, then the area would remain unaltered. Find the length of the room. [4M]
Solution: Let the length and breadth of the room be x m and y m, respectively.
Area of the room = length × breadth
375 = xy

Length when decreased by 10 m = (x – 10) m
Breadth when increased by 10 m = (y + 10) m = 
According to the question,

(x - 10)(375 + 10X) = 375
375x + 10x2 - 3750 - 100x = 375x
10x2 - 100x - 3750 = 0
x2 - 10x - 375 = 0
(x + 15)(x - 25) = 0
As x cannot be negative, x = 25.
Thus, the length of the room is 25 m.
Q 9. A motor boat, whose speed is 6 km/h in still water, goes 8 km downstream and returns in a total time of 3 hours. Find the speed of the stream. [3M]
Solution:
Let the speed of the stream = x km/hr
Speed of the boat downstream = (6 + x) km/hr
Speed of the boat upstream = (6 – x) km/hr
Also, time taken to go 8 km downstream = 
Time taken to return = 
According to the question,

96 = 3(6 + x)(6 - x)
32 = 36 - x2
x2 = 4
x = ±2
x cannot be negative.
Hence, x = 2.
Thus, the speed of the stream is 2 km/hr.
Q 10. Rs. 600 is divided equally among ‘x’ children. If the number of children were 10 more, then each would have got Rs. 10 less. Find ‘x’. [3M]
Solution: When Rs. 600 is divided equally among ‘x’ children.
Each child gets = Rs. 
When the number of children were 10 more than the original number of children, each child gets = Rs. 
According to the question,

60 × 10 = x(x + 10)
x2 + 10x - 600 = 0
x2 + 30x - 20x - 600 = 0
x(x + 30) -20 (x + 30) = 0
(x + 30) (x - 20) = 0
x = -30 or x = 20
But x cannot be negative.
Hence, x = 20.

Solution: Let p(x) = 2x3 + 5x2 – 11x – 14
To prove that 2x + 7 is a factor of p(x).
Hence, we find

Hence, 2x + 7 is a factor of 2x3 + 5x2 – 11x – 14.

p(x) = 2x3 + 5x2 – 11x – 14
⇒ p(x) = (2x + 7)(x2 – x – 2)
⇒ p(x) = (2x + 7)(x2 – 2x + x – 2)
⇒ p(x) = (2x + 7)[x(x – 2) + (x – 2)]
⇒ p(x) = (2x + 7)(x – 2)(x + 1)

According to the question,
⇒ p(3) = q(3)
⇒ 3 × 33 – 9 × 32 + 5 × 3 – 13 = (a + 1) × 32 – 7 × 3 + 5
⇒ 81 – 81 + 15 – 13 = 9a + 9 – 21 + 5
⇒ 2 = 9a – 7 9a = 9 a = 1

Q 1. The 11th term of an AP is 80 and the 16th term is 110. Find the 31st term. [3M]
Solution:
We know that, nth term of an AP = an = a + (n - 1)d
⇒ a11 = a + (11 - 1)d = a + 10d = 80 ...(i) and
a16 = a + (16 - 1)d = a + 15d = 110 ...(ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii), we get
5d = 30 ⟹ d = 6
Substituting d = 6 in (i), we get
a + 10(6) = 80 ⟹ a = 20
a31 = a + (31 - 1)d = 20 + 30 × 6 = 200

⇒ a + 6d = 30 … (ii)
⇒ Solving (i) and (ii), we get d = 3 and a = 12
⇒ tn = a + (n – 1)d
⇒ tn = 12 + (n – 1) × 3
⇒ a = 12, t2 = 15, t3 = 18, t4 = 21,…
⇒ The required series is 12, 15, 18, 21,…

The 9th term of an AP is –8 .
⇒ a + 8d = –8 … (ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii), we get
6d = –12 ⇒ d = –2
Substitute d = –2 in equation (i), we get
a + 2(–2) = 4 ⇒ a = 8
We know that,

⇒ 3a = 180
⇒ a = 60
Hence, the numbers are 60 – d, 60, 60 + d
Also,
⇒ (60 – d)(60 + d) = 3500
⇒ 3600 – d2 = 3500
⇒ d2 = 100
⇒ d = ±10

Q 3. A model of a ship is made to a scale 1: 300. [3M]
- The length of the model of the ship is 2 m. Calculate the length of the ship.
- The area of the deck of the ship is 180,000 m2. Calculate the area of the deck of the model.
- The volume of the model is 6.5 m3. Calculate the volume of the ship.
Solution:
i. Scale factor k = 
Length of the model of the ship = k × Length of the ship
⇒ 2 =
× Length of the ship
⇒ Length of the ship = 600 m
ii. Area of the deck of the model = k2 × Area of the deck of the ship

iii. Volume of the model = k3 × Volume of the ship

⇒ Volume of the ship = 6.5 × 27000000 = 17,55,00,000 m3

Q 1. In the figure, AD = BC and AB || DC,
BAC = 40˚ and
CBD = 60˚. Find [4M]

BCD
BCA
ABC
ADB
Solution:
ABCD is an isosceles trapezium and AB || DC
∴

BAC =

DCA ∵ alternate angles
∴

DCA = 40˚
∴

ABD =

ACD = 40˚ ∵ angles in the same segment
∴

BCA =

BCD –

ACD
= 80˚ – 40˚
= 40˚
= 40˚ + 60˚
= 100˚
iv.

ADB =

BCA = 40˚ ∵ angles in the same segment
Q 2. AB and CD are two chords on the same side. AB = 12 cm and CD = 24 cm. Distance between two parallel chords is 4 cm. Find the radius of the circle. [4M]

Solution:
AB = 12 cm, CD = 24 cm and LM = 4 cm
Let OL = x cm
Then, OM = (x + 4) cm
Join OA and OC.
Then, OA = OC = r
Since the perpendicular from the centre to a chord bisects the chord,
∴ AM = MB = 6 cm and CL = LD = 12 cm
In triangles OAM and OCL,
∴ OA2 = OM2 + AM2 and OC2 = OL2 + CL2
∴ r2 = (x + 4)2 + 62 and r2 = x2 + 122
∴ (x + 4)2 + 62 = x2 + 122
∴ x2 + 8x + 16 + 36 = x2 + 144
∴ 8x = 92
∴ x = 11.5 cm
∴ r2 = 11.52 + 122
∴ r = 16.62 cm (approx.)
Q 3. In the given figure, ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral. Find the values of x and y. [3M]

Solution:
ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral.
Sum of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180o
x + 10 + 5y + 5 = 180
x + 5y = 165 … (1)
4y – 4 + 2x + 4 = 180
2x + 4y = 180 … (2)
Solving (1) and (2) simultaneously
x = 40 and y = 25
Q 4. In the given figure, O is the centre of the circle. AB is a tangent to it at point B.
BDC = 60˚. Find
BAO. [4M]

Solution:
In ΔBDC,
DBC = 90˚ ∵ tangent
radius
BDC = 60˚ …(i)
In ΔBDC,
DCB +
DBC +
BDC = 180˚ ∵ angle sum property in the triangle
∴
DCB + 90˚ + 60˚ = 180˚
∴
DCB = 30˚
In ΔOEC,
OE = OC ∵ radius
∴
OEC =
OCE ∵ isosceles triangle property
∴
OEC =
BCD = 30˚
In ΔAEB,
ADE +
BDE = 180˚ ∵ straight line property
∴
ADE + 60˚ = 180˚ ∵
BDE =
BDC from (i)
∴
ADE = 120˚
∴
DEA =
OEC = 30˚…vertically opposite angle
DAE +
ADE +
DEA = 180˚ ∵ angle sum property in the triangle
∴
DAE + 120˚ + 30˚ = 180˚
∴
DAE = 30˚
∴
BAO =
DAE = 30˚
Q 5. In the given figure, O is the centre of the circle. Tangents at A and B meet at C. If
ACO = 25˚, find [3M]
BCO
AOB
APB

Solution:
i. In ΔOAC and ΔOBC,
OA = OB radii of the same circle
CA = CB ∵ tangents from an external point to a circle are equal
OC = OC ∵ common side
ΔOAC ≅ ΔOBC ∵ by SSS congruence
∴
BCO =
ACO = 25˚
ii. In ΔOAC,
AOC = 180˚ –
OAC –
ACO
= 180˚ – 90˚ – 25˚
= 65˚
ΔOAC ≅ ΔOBC
∴
BOC =
AOC = 65˚
∴
AOB =
AOC +
BOC
= 65˚ + 65˚
= 130˚
ii.
APB = ½
AOB ∵ angle subtended at the centre = 2 times angle on the circle
APB = ½ × 130 = 65˚
Q 6. AB is a line segment and M is its mid-point. Semi-circles are drawn with AM, MB and AB as diameters on the same side of the line AB. A circle C(O, r) is drawn so that it touches all the three semi-circles. Prove that
[4M]

Solution:
Since M is the mid-point of AB,
∴ AM = MB = 
Since P and S are the mid-points of AM and MB,
∴ AP = PM = MS = SB = 
Radius of a circle = r
∴ CP = r + PQ = r + 
∴ CM = DM – DC =
– r
In Δ CMP,
CMP = 90˚
∴ CM2 + MP2 = CP2

Q 1. A conical tent is to accommodate 11 people. Each person must have 4 sq. metres of the space on the ground and 20 cubic metres of air to breathe. Find the height of the cone. [4M]
Solution:
Let the height of the conical tent be h metres and r be the radius in metres.
Number of people the tent can accommodate = 11
Space required by each person on the ground = 4 m2
Volume of air required by each person = 20 m3
⇒ Area of the base = 11 × 4 = 44 m2
⇒ πr2 = 44 …(i)
⇒ Volume of the cone = 11 × 20 = 220 m3

Q 2. A steel wire, 3 mm in diameter, is wound about a cylinder whose length is 12 cm, and diameter 10 cm, so as to cover the curved surface of the cylinder. Find the mass of the wire, assuming the density of steel to be 8.88 g per cm3. [3M]
Solution:
Length of the wire used in one round = 3 mm = 0.3 cm
Number of rounds required to cover 12 cm of length =
= 40
Diameter of the cylinder = 10 cm ⇒ Radius of the cylinder = 5 cm
Length of wire required for one round = 2∏r = 2∏ × 5 cm = 10∏ cm
Length of wire required for 40 rounds = 10∏ × 40 = 400∏ cm = 400 × 3.14 = 1256 cm
Now, radius of the wire = 
Volume of the wire = ∏r2h = 
Weight of the wire = Volume of the wire × 8.88 gm = 
Q 3. The area of the base of a right circular cone is 28.26 sq. cm. If its height is 4 cm, find its volume and the curved surface area. (use π = 3.14) [3M]
Solution:

Q 4. The volume of a right circular cone is 660 cm3 and the diameter of its base is 12 cm. Calculate [4M]
- the height of the cone,
- the slant height of the cone,
- the total surface area of the cone.
Solution:
Diameter of a cone, d = 12 cm
⇒ Radius, r = 6 cm
Volume of cone = 660 cm3

i. Hence, height of the cone = 17.5 cm

= (sin2 A)2 - (cos2 A)2
= (sin2 A - cos2 A) (sin2 A + cos2 A)
= (sin2 A - cos2 A)(1)
= sin2 A - cos2 A
= 1 - cos2 A - cos2 A
= 1 - cos2 A
Hence proved.

Q 1. A guard observes a boat from a tower at a height of 150 m above sea level to be at an angle of depression of 25° (Take tan25° = 0.4663). [4M]
- Calculate the distance of the boat from the foot of the tower to the nearest metre.
- After some time, it is observed that the boat is 180 m from the foot of the tower. Calculate the new angle of depression.
Solution:
i.


ii.

Let B be the new position of the boat and θ be the new angle of depression.

Q 2. A vertical pole and a vertical tower are at the same ground level. From the top of the pole, the angle of elevation at the top of the tower is 30° and the angle of depression of the foot of the tower is 60°. Find the height of the pole if the height of the tower is 100 m. [4M]
Solution:
According to the statements given, the figure will be as shown below:
Here, BC is the pole and AE is the tower.
Clearly, it is given that AE = 100 m,
ABD = 30° and
EBD = 60°.


Also, AE = x + y, i.e.
x + y = 100 m … (iv)
Solving equations (iii) and (iv), we get
4x = 100 m
⇒ x = 25 m = AD
Substituting in (iv), we get
y = 75 m = DE = BC
Hence, the height of the pole is 75 m.

- divisible by both 2 and 5
- greater than 20
Solution
There are a total of 20 cards numbered from 1 to 20 and a card is drawn at random.
Let S denote the sample space of this experiment, then all the possible outcomes are
i.
S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20}
So, the number of all possible outcomes is n(S) = 20.
i. Let A be an event of getting a number which is divisible by both 2 and 5.
Now, since lcm of 2 and 5 is 10.
So, 10 and 20 are the only numbers which are divisible by both 2 and 5.
⇒ All favourable outcomes are 10 and 20, i.e. A = {10, 20}
⇒ Number of favourable outcomes is n(A) = 2
∴ Probability of getting a number which is divisible by 2 and 5 is

ii.
Let B be an event of getting a number greater than 20.
The cards are numbered from 1 to 20.
⇒ There are no favourable outcomes, i.e. B = {}

A die is thrown once, so all the possible outcomes are 1, 2, 3, -1, -2 and -3.
Then, the total number of outcomes is 6.
i.
Let A be an event of getting a negative integer.
So, all the favourable outcomes are A = {-1, -2, -3}
Total number of favourable outcomes is n(A) = 3

ii.
Let B be an event of getting the smallest positive integer.
So, all the favourable outcomes are B = {1}
Total number of favourable outcomes is n(B) = 1

Q 5. Three identical coins are tossed together. Find the probability of getting [4M]
- exactly two tails
- at least one tail
Solution
Let S denote the sample space of this experiment.
Three identical coins are tossed simultaneously, so all the possible outcomes are
S = {HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT}
The number of all possible outcomes = n(S) = 8
i.
Let A be an event of getting exactly two tails.
⇒ All favourable outcomes are A = {HTT, THT, TTH}
⇒ Number of all favourable outcomes = n(A) = 3

ii.
Let B be an event of getting at least one tail.
⇒ All favourable outcomes are B = {HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT}
⇒ Number of all favourable outcomes = n(B) = 7
