 Solution
Section A
1. (a) 0
Explanation: 0 is neither positive nor negative.
2.
(d) identity for addition of rational numbers
Explanation: We know that, the sum of any rational number and zero (0) is the rational number itself. Now, x + 0 = 0 + x = x,
which is a rational number, then 0 is called identity for addition of rational numbers.
3. (a) 19
x−4 2x−3 5x−32 x+9
Explanation: 3
+
35
=
9
−
28

Multiplying throughout by 9, we have

18x−27 9x+81
3x -12 + 35
= 5x - 32 - 28
transposing,
18x−27 9x+81

35
+
28
= 2x - 20
Now clear of fractions by multiplying by
5 × 7 × 4 or 14
thus 72x - 108 + 45x + 405 = 280x -2800
∴ 2800 - 108 + 405 = 280x - 72x - 45x

∴ 3097 = 163

∴ x = 19

4. (a) 7

Explanation: 2y + 5

3
=
26

3
− y

or, 2y + y = 26

3
- 5

or, 3y = 21

or, 3y = 7
or, y = 7

5.
(d) 360o
Explanation:

Let ABCD is a convex quadrilateral, then we draw a diagonal AC which divides the quadrilateral into two triangles.
∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D

= ∠1 + ∠6 + ∠5 + ∠4 + ∠3 + ∠2

= ∠(1 + 2 + 3) + ∠(4 + 5 + 6)

We are aware that the total sum of the interior angles of any triangle will be 180o and a quadrilateral is made up of two
triangles
Thus, the sum of the interior angles of both the triangles are 180 + 180 = 360 ∘

So,the sum of the measures of the angles of a convex quadrilateral is 360o

6.
(c) 60o
Explanation: Let the sum of all four angles of rhombus = 360°
A/q

Page 6 of 14
 The three angles of quadrilateral is 105°, 120°, 75°
The measurement of fourth angle = 360° - (105° + 120° + 75°)
= 360° - 300° = 60°
7.
(b) A
Explanation: The answer is 492 as here the unit's digit is 9 and 92 = 81 where the unit's digit is 1, so 492 would end with digit
1.
8.
(b) 1234
−−−−−−−
Explanation: From the prime factorization of √1522756 we get 1234.
9.
(d) 35937
Explanation: Volume of cube = (33)3 = 35937
10. (a) 4
Explanation: 8788 = 2 × 2 × 13 × 13 × 13
Therefore, by above calculation we get that if 8788 is divided by 4 then it gives a perfect cube.
11.
(d) 4%
Markedprice−Sellingprice
Explanation: Discount = Markedprice
× 100

15,000−14,400
= 15,000
× 100

600×100
= 15,000

= 4%
12.
(b) 2
Explanation: P = ₹ 30000, r = 7% P.a., C.I = ₹ 4347,
n=?
⇒ Amount = ₹ 30000 + ₹ 4347 = ₹ 34347
n
7
∴ 34347 = 30000(1 + 100
)

⇒ (
107

) = 34347

30000
= 11449

10000

107 107
⇒ (

) =( 100
) ⇒ n=2

13. (a) ab + bc + ac
Explanation: (a - b + ab) + (b - c + bc) + (c - a + ac)
opening brackets we get,
a - b + ab + b - c + bc + c - a + ac
solving like terms and unlike terms we get,
a - a - b + b - c + c + ab + bc + ac
0 + 0 + 0 + ab + bc + ac
ab + bc + ac
14.

(c)

Explanation: 3-dimensional figures has the top, side and front as triangles name as a triangular pyramid.
15.
(d) 350π
Explanation: According to the question,
Outer radius (r1) of pipe = 3 cm
inner radius (r2) of pipe = 2 cm

Page 7 of 14
 length of pipe (h) = 70 cm
∴ Volume of metal in the pipe = π(r

− r )× h

= π (32 - 22) × 70
= π (9 - 4) × 70
=π × 5 × 70 = 350π cm3
16.
(b) -2
Explanation: ∵ 3x = 1

9
2

∴ 3x = ( 1 ) 3

or 3x = 3-2
On comparing both sides, we get x = -2

18. (a) 5 and 6

Explanation: For inverse proportion, xy = constant or x1y1 = x2y2
As, x1y1 = 36; x2y2 = 5 × 6 = 30
∴ x1y1 ≠ x2y2

19.
(d) (x + y + z)(x + 1)
Explanation: x2 + x + xy + y + zx + z
= x(x + 1) + y (x + 1) + z (x + 1)
= (x + 1 )(x + y + z)
20.
(d) (13a + 12b) (13a - 12b)
Explanation: 169a2 - 144b2
(13a)2 - (12b)2
(13a + 12b) (13a - 12b)

⇒ x =

⇒ x = -5
OR
Given, 0.16 (5x - 2) = 0.4x + 7
⇒ 0.8x - 0.32 = 0.4x + 7

⇒ 0.8x - 0.4x = 0.32 + 7 [transposing 0.4x to LHS and - 0.32 to RHS]

⇒ 0.4x = 7.32

⇒
0.4x

0.4
= [dividing both sides by 0.4]
7.32

0.4

x = 18.3
∴

22. Let the number of sides be n, Then, n(24°) = 360°.

∘
360
⇒ n= ∘
= 15
24

Hence, the number of sides is 15.

23. Total number of pairs of shoes sold = (130 + 120 + 90 + 40 + 20) = 400

24. We have, 68600 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 5 × 5 × 7 × 7 × 7 . In this factorisation, we find that there is no triplet of 5.

So, 68600 is not a perfect cube. To make it a perfect cube we multiply it by 5.
Thus, 68600 × 5 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 7 × 7 × 7 = 343000, which is a perfect cube.
Hence, the smallest number by which 68600 must be multiplied to get a perfect cube is 5.
OR

By prime factorisation,
6859 = 19 × 19 × 19 [grouping the factors in triplets]
= 193 which is a perfect cube.
Therefore, 6859 is a perfect cube.
25. We have 3x (4x - 5) + 3
simplification: 3x (4x - 5) + 3 = 3x (4x) - 3x(5) + 3 = 12x2 - 15x + 3
i. x = 3
Putting x = 3 in above equation, we get 12 (3)2 - 15(3) + 3
= 12 (9) - 45 + 3
= 108 - 42 = 66
ii. x = 1

29. The prime factorisation of 1620 is 1620 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 5
We see that prime factor 5 has no pair. So, if we divide 1620 by 5, then we get

1620 ÷ 5 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3
Now each factor has a pair. Therefore, 1620

5
= 324 is a perfect square.
Thus the required smallest number is 5.

b. The average distance between Earth and Sun = 1.496 × 108 km
km = 0.0001496 × 1012 km
1.496
∴ Distance between Earth and Sun = 10000

Since, 9.46 > 0.0001496

So, the distance between Earth and Sun-less than one light-year.

35. Let ABCD be a trapezium, where AB || CD.

Let the angles A and D be of measures 2x and x, respectively

then 2x + x = 180o
[∵ in trapezium, the angles on either side of the base are supplementary]
⇒ 3x = 180o
⇒ x = 60o
∴ ∠ A = 2x = 60o = 120o, ∠ D = 60o
Again, let the angles B and C be 7x and 5x respectively. Then 7x + 5x = 180o

Page 11 of 14
 ⇒ 12x = 180o
⇒ x = 15o
Thus, ∠ B = 7 × 15 = 105o and ∠ C = 5 × 15 = 75o
OR
i. Yes (opposite sides of a rectangle)
ii. Yes, since, AB ∥ CD, AC is a transversal and they are alternate angles.
iii. Since DQ and BP are perpendiculars from D and B, respectively on AC, therefore, ∠DQA = ∠BPC = 90°.
Thus DQ ∥ BP (if the alternate angles are equal the lines are parallel)
Also AD ∥ BC and AC is the transversal.
∴ ∠DAQ = ∠BCP (Alternate angles)
Since ∠DQA = ∠BPC and ∠DAQ = ∠BCP,
∴ ∠ADQ = ∠CBP
Now in ΔDAQ and ΔBCP, we have
∠DAQ = ∠BCP
∠ADQ = ∠CBP
DA = BC
∴ ΔDAQ ≅ ΔBCP (by ASA condition of congruence)
iv. Yes, (corresponding parts of congruent triangle ΔDAQ and ΔBCP)
36. a. Number of children who spend atleast 1 h in playing games i.e. the number of children playing 1 h or more than 1 h
= (Total number of children) - (Number of children spend less than 1 h)
= 350 -6 % of 350

= 350-21 = 329
b. Number of children who spend more than 2 h in playing games

= 48% of 350
48
= × 350 = 168

c. Number of children who spend 3 or lesser hours in playing games

= (34 + 30 + 16 + 6)%of total number of students

100

d. Number of children who spend 2 h or more per day in playing games

= (30 + 34 + 10 + 4)%of total number of students
= 78% of total number of students
Number of children who spend less than one hour = 6% of total number of students Clearly, number of children who play for 2
h or more per day is greater than the number of children who play for less than 1 h.
37. From the given data in the table,
Rate of one packet of atta = ₹200
Discount % = 16%
So, price after discount = 200 - 16

100
× 200

= 200 - 32
= ₹168
Rate of one packet of detergent = ₹371
Discount % = 22.10%
So, price after discount = 371 - 371 × 22.10

100

= 371 - 81.991
= ₹289.009
Rate of one packet of namkeen = 153
Discount% = 18.30%
18.30
So, price after discount = 153 - 153 × 100

= 153- 1.53 × 18.30

= 153 - 27.999

Page 12 of 14

∴ Total bill amount to be paid = ₹168 + ₹289.009 + ₹125.001

38. Here l = 10 cm, w = 8 cm and h = 7 cm

Using formula LSA = 2h(l + w)
= 2 × 7(10 + 8)
= 14(18) = 252 cm2
39. Suppose the amount of sugar is x kg and the number of crystals is y
As the amount of sugar increases, the number of crystals also increases in the same ratio. It is a case of direct proportion. We
x1 x2
make use of the relation of the type y
=
y
1 2

(i) Here,
x1 = 2

y1 = 9 × 106
x2 = 5
x1 x2
Therefore, y

gives

9×10 2

∴ 2y2 = 5 × 9 × 106

∴y 2 =
5×9×10

∴ y2 = 22.5 × 106

∴ y2 = 2.25 × 107

Hence, there are 225 × 105 crystals.

(ii) Here,
x1 = 2

y1 = 9 × 106
x2 = 1.2
x1 x3
Therefore, y1
=
y3
gives

∴ y3 = 5.4 × 106

Hence, these are 54 × 105 crystals.

40. Hours of ride Distance covered by scooter

1 hour 1× 30 km = 30 km

2 hours 2 × 30 km = 60 km

3 hours 3 × 30 km = 90 km

4 hours 4 × 30 km = 120 km and so on.

We get a table of these values as follows:
Time (in hours) 1 2 3 4

Distance covered (in km) 30 60 90 120

i. Scale: (Fig) Horizontal: 2 units = 1 hour, Vertical: 1 unit = 10 km

ii. Mark time on the horizontal axis.
iii. Mark distance on the vertical axis.
iv. Plot the points: (1, 30), (2, 60), (3, 90), (4, 120)
v. Join the points. We get a linear graph.
a. Corresponding to 75 km on the vertical axis, we get the time to be 2.5 hours on the horizontal axis. Thus 2.5 hours are
needed to cover 75 km.
b. Corresponding to 3 , hours on the horizontal axis, the distance covered is 105 km on the vertical axis.
