SECTION B (2X 6 = 12)

17. Check whether (15)n can end with digit 0 for any natural number n? Justify.
The prime factorization of 15= 3 X 5 doesn't have a 2 and 5 as its factor. 1
So, its factorization will never end in 0 as the number ending in 0 must
have factors as 5 and 2. So, 15n will never end in zero as 15 doesn't have
2 as a factor. 1

18. Find a quadratic polynomial , the sum and product of whose zeroes are -3 and 2
respectively.
Let the zeroes be α and β
According to the question: α+β=−3 and αβ=2
The quadratic polynomial whose sum and product of the zeroes are given is
given by :
x²−(α+β)x+αβ 1
⇒ Then the quadratic polynomial will be : x²−(−3)x+2= x²+3x+2
1
Hence, the quadratic polynomial is x2+3x+2
19. Determine the value of p for which the given pair of linear equations has unique
solution. 2x-3y= 1; px + 5y = 7
 It is of the form a1x+b1y+c1=0 ; a2x+b2y+c2=0 1
Here, a1 = 2, b1 = -3 , c1 = -1 ; a2= p , b2 = 5 , c2 = -7
𝑎1 𝑏 2 −3 −10
For a unique solution, we must have ≠ 𝑏1 ⇒ 𝑝 = ⇒𝑝 ≠ 1
𝑎2 2 5 3

So, the given system of equations is consistent with a unique solution for all
values of p other than – 10/3 .

20. Two rails are represented by x + 2y = 4 and 2x + 4y = 12 . Will the rails cross each
other?
The pair of linear equations formed were:
x + 2y – 4 = 0 (1)
2x + 4y – 12 = 0 (2)
x = 4 – 2y ……… from Equation (1) 1/2
By substituting this value of x in Equation (2)
2(4 – 2y) + 4y – 12 = 0 i.e., 8 – 12 = 0 i.e.,– 4 = 0 which is a false statement. 1
Therefore, the equations do not have a common solution. So, the two rails will
not cross each other.

21. Solve for x : p2x2 +(p2- q2) x- q2 = 0

P2x2 + p2x – q2x –q2 =0 ½X
P2x (x +1) –q2(x+1) = 0 4steps
(P2x – q2)(x+ 1) = 0
𝒒𝟐
X = -1 , 𝒑𝟐
OR
ax2 + bx + c = 0
a = p2 , b = (p2 – q2) c = – q2

Before putting the values in the formula let us check the nature of roots
by b2 – 4ac >0
⟹ ((p2 – q2)) 2 – (4 × p2 × – q2)
⟹ (p4 –2 p2 q2 + q4) - (-4p2q2)
⟹ p4 –2 p2 q2 + q4 + 4p2q2
⟹ (p4 + 2 p2 q2 + q4)
⟹ ((p2 + q2)) 2 1/2
Now let us put the values in the above formula

−(𝑝2 −𝑞 2 )±(𝑝2 +𝑞2 )

X= 2𝑝2
Solving with positive value first,
 −(𝑝2 −𝑞 2 )+𝑝2 +𝑞2 −𝑝2 +𝑞 2 +𝑝2 +𝑞2 2𝑞 2 𝑞2
X= = = =
2𝑝2 2𝑝2 2𝑝2 𝑝2 ½
Solving with negative value second,

⇒ ⇒ x = -1

22. If sin (A + B ) = √3/2 and sin (A – B ) = 1/2, , 00 < A + B ≤ 900 ; A > B find A
and B.
sin(A + B) = √3 /2 Since, A + B ≤ 90°,
sin(A + B) = √3 = sin 60° ⇒ 𝑠𝑖𝑛(A + B) = sin 60° ⇒A + B = 60° ⇢ (i)
½
sin(A – B) = 1/2 = sin 30° ⇒ 𝑠𝑖𝑛(A – B) = sin 30° ⇒ A – B = 30° ⇢ (ii) ½
Adding equation (i) and (ii),
2A = 90° ⇒A = 45° ½
Putting the value of A in equation (i),
½
45° + B = 60° ⇒B = 60°- 45° ⇒B = 15°

SECTION C (3 X 6 = 18)
23. A and B cycle along the circular boundary of a playground and complete one round in
18 minutes and 12 minutes respectively. Suppose they both start at the same point
simultaneously at 9 am in the morning and go in the same direction. At what time will
they meet again at the starting point.
The time of their meeting is the LCM of 18 and 12 in minutes.
Prime factorisation of 18=2×3×3 1
Prime factorisation of 12=2×2×3

Given √2 is irrational , Prove that √2 + √2 is irrational.

Let us assume that √2 + 3 /√2 is rational number

√2 + 3/√2=a/b (a and b are co primes and b not equal to zero) ½

√2√2 3 𝑎 5 𝑎 5𝑏
+ =𝑏 ⇒ = ⇒ √2 =
√2 √2 √2 𝑏 𝑎 1
½
Since a and b are integers , 5b/a is rational and so √2 is rational.

But this contradicts the fact that √2 is irrational . this contradiction is arise and ½
because of or incorrect assumption that√2 + 3 /√2 is a rational number.
½
 so we conclude that √2 + 3 /√2 is an irational number.
24. Find the zeroes of the polynomial f (x) = 4√3 x2 + 5x – 2√3 and verify the
relationship between the zeroes and the coefficients.
The given polynomial f(x) = 4√3 x2 +5x - 2√3
= 4√3 x2 + 8x - 3x - 2√3 ½
= 4x(√3 x +2) - √3 (√3 x +2) ½
= (√3x+2)(4x-√3)
Hence the zeroes are -2/√3 and √3/4
Sum of the roots = -2/√3 + √3/4 = -2√3/3 + √3/4 = (-8√3+3√3)/12 = - ½
5√3/12
Sum of the roots = -b/a = -5/4√3 = -5√3/12
½
Hence sum of the roots =-b/a.
Product of the roots = (-2/√3)(√3/4) = -1/2.
Product of the roots = c/a = -2√3/4√3 = -1/2. ½
So product of the roots = c/a. ½
Thus, the relationship between the roots and coefficients is verified.

26. Solve for x and y by substitution or elimination method.

0.2x+ 0.3y = 1.3 ; 0.4x + 0.5y = 2.3

Let 0.2x+0.3y=1.3 ....(1)
0.4x+0.5y=2.3 ....(2)
Multiply eq. (1) & eq (2) by 10 we get
2x+3y=13 ....(3)
4x+5y=23 ....(4) 1
Solving equations (3) and (4)
5×(3)⇒10x+15y = 65
3×(4)⇒12x+15y = 69 1
Subtracting we get 12x+15y−10x−15y=69−65=4
or 2x=4 or x=2
Substituting x=2 in eqn (3) we get
 2x+3y=13⇒2×2+3y=13 or 3y=13−4=9 or y=3
Hence x = 2, y = 3 1

27. At present Asha’s age (in years ) is 2 more than the square of her daughter Nisha’s age.
When Nisha grows to her mother’s present age , Asha’s age would be one year less than
10 times the present age of Nisha. Find their present ages.
Present Age After y years
Nisha X X+y
Asha X2 + 2 X2 +2 + y

Now, when Nisha grows to her mother's present age i.e., x +y = x2+2
Y = x2 + 2 -x
Then, Asha's age = [(x2+2)+ y = x2+ 2 + x2+ 2−x = 2x2+ 4 - x] yr. 1
Again by given condition,
Age of Asha = One years less than 10 times the present age of Nisha
(x2+2)+(x2+2)−x=10x−1
⇒2x2−x+4=10x−1
⇒2x2−11x+5=0 1
⇒2x2−10x−x+5=0
⇒2x(x−5)−1(x−5)=0
⇒(x−5)(2x−1)=0
∴x=5
1
[here, x=12 cannot be possible, because at x=1/2, Asha's age is 24 yr which is
not possible]
Hence, required age of Nisha = 5 yr 1
And required age of Asha =x2+2=(5)2+2=25+2=27yr
OR
Let Nisha's present age be x yr.
Then, Asha's present age = x2+2 [by given condition]
Now, when Nisha grows to her mother's present age i.e., after (x2+2)−x
yrs. Then, Asha's age also increased by [(x2+2)−x] yr.
Again by given condition,
Age of Asha = One years less than 10 times the present age of Nisha
(x2+2)+(x2+2)−x=10x−1
⇒2x2−x+4=10x−1
⇒2x2−11x+5=0
⇒2x2−10x−x+5=0
⇒2x(x−5)−1(x−5)=0
⇒(x−5)(2x−1)=0
∴x=5
[here, x=1/2 cannot be possible, because at x=1/2, Asha's age is 2 1/4 yr which
is not possible]
Hence, required age of Nisha = 5 yr
And required age of Asha =x2+2=(5)2+2=25+2=27yr

OR
 The difference of squares of two numbers is 180. The square of the smaller number is
8 times the larger number. Find the two numbers.
Let the larger number is taken as = x
Then the square of the smaller number = 8 times the larger number = 8x and the
square of the larger number = x
As per the question,
1
X2 – 8x = 180
⇒ x2 – 8x – 180 = 0
⇒ x2 – 18x + 10x – 180 = 0
⇒ x(x – 18) + 10(x – 18) = 0
⇒ (x – 18) (x + 10) = 0 1
⇒ x – 18 = 0 or x + 10 = 0
⇒ x = 18 or x = -10
Thus, the larger number = 18 or -10
Then, the square of the smaller number = 8(18) or 8(-10) = 144 or -80
The square of a number can’t be negative, so, the square of a smaller number = 144
Hence, the smaller number = √(144) = 12, The numbers are 12 and 18 1

28. In ∆ACB, right angled at C, AB = 29 units, BC = 21 units and ∠ABC =𝜃 . Verify

sin2 𝜃 + cos2 𝜃 = 1

According to Pythagoras theorem, (Hypotenuse)2 = (Base)2 + (Perpendicular)2

⇒ (AC)2 + (BC)2 = (AB)2 ⇒ (AC)2 + (21)2 = (29)2 ⇒ (AC)2 = (29)2 – (21)2 1
Using the identity a2 –b2 = (a+b) (a – b) ⇒ (AC)2 = (29–21)(29+21)
⇒ (AC)2 = (8)(50) ⇒ (AC)2 = 400 ⇒ AC =√400 ⇒ AC = ±20
1
But side AC can’t be negative. So, AC = 20units
21 2 20 2 441 400 841
In ∆ACB, Cos2θ +sin2 θ = (29) + (29) = 841 + 841 = =1 1

litres of 3rd kind. (2+2)

(a) What will be the minimum capacity of the glass jar?

(b) Find the least possible number of glass jar of equal size in which different types of juice
can be filled without mixing.
For the least possible number of jars of equal size, the size of each jar must be of the
greatest capacity. Hence, the capacity of the jar will be equal to the HCF of 403 l, 434 l
and 465 l.
Now, HCF of 403 and 434.
1

Required HCF= HCF of 31 and 465

∴ Required HCF = 31 litres = Capacity of a jar

403 434 465
∴ required number of jars = + +

Raju and his classmates planned a picnic in zoo. The total budget for picnic was ₹
2000 but 5 students failed to attend the picnic and thus the contribution for each
student was increased by ₹ 20.The expense of different item was as follows.
S. No. Article Cost per student (in ₹)

1. Entry ticket ₹5
2. Coffee ₹ 10
3. Food ₹ 25
4. Travelling cost ₹ 50
5. Ice – Cream ₹ 15

equation that describe the situation.
(a) x2- 5x - 500 = 0 (b) x2 + 4x - 400 = 0 (c) x2 + 5x - 500 = 0 (d) x2 - 4x + 400 = 0
Let the number of students be ‘x’
 2000x = (x – 5) (2000 + 20x)
2000x = 2000x + 20x² – 10000 – 100x
0 = 20x² – 10000 – 100x
20x² – 10000 – 100x = 0
x² – 500 – 5x = 0
x² – 25x + 20x – 500 = 0
x (x – 25) + 20 (x – 25) = 0
(x + 20) (x – 25) = 0
x = –20, 25

Since, number of students is not negative, x = 25

We know that tan θ =sin θ/cos θ
cot θ = cos θ/sin θ
Now, substitute it in the given equation, to convert it in a simplified form
= [(sin θ/cos θ)/1-(cos θ/sin θ)] + [(cos θ/sin θ)/1-(sin θ/cos θ)]
= [(sin θ/cos θ)/(sin θ-cos θ)/sin θ] + [(cos θ/sin θ)/(cos θ-sin θ)/cos θ]
1
= sin2θ/[cos θ(sin θ-cos θ)] + cos2θ/[sin θ(cos θ-sin θ)]
= sin2θ/[cos θ(sin θ-cos θ)] – cos2θ/[sin θ(sin θ-cos θ)]
= 1/(sin θ-cos θ) [(sin2θ/cos θ) – (cos2θ/sin θ)]
= 1/(sin θ-cos θ) × [(sin3θ – cos3θ)/sin θ cos θ]
1
= [(sin θ-cos θ)(sin2θ+cos2θ+sin θ cos θ)]/[(sin θ-cos θ)sin θ cos θ]
= (1 + sin θ cos θ)/sin θ cos θ
= 1/sin θ cos θ + 1
= 1 + sec θ cosec θ = R.H.S. 1
Therefore L.H.S. = R.H.S. , Hence proved.
