The following questions consist of two statements – Assertion (A) and Reason (R).
Answer these questions selecting the appropriate option given below :
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation for A.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation for A.
(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true.
9. Assertion (A) : 0 and –2 are the zeroes of f(t) = 4t² + 8t.
Reason (R) : For f(t) = 4t² + 8t, f(0) = f(–2) = 0
10. Assertion (A) : The graph of the equation 2x+3y = 14 and 4 x –2y = 8 intersect
at a point.
Reason (R) : The lines represented by the equations
a1 b
a 1 x + b 1 y + c, = 0 and a 2 x +b 2 y + c 2 = 0 are intersecting at a point if 1.
a2 b2

11. Explain whether 3 x 12 x 101 + 4 is prime number or a composite number.
OR
Check whether 12 n can end with the digit 0 for any natural number n.
12. Find a quadratic polynomial each with the given numbers as the sum and
product of its zeroes respectively.

13. Solve the following pair of linear equations :
3x – 5y =4, 2y + 7 = 9x
14. For what value of k, does the system of linear equations
2x+ 3y = 7
(k – 1)x + (k + 2)y = 3k have an infinite number of solutions?
Section – C (3x3 = 9)
15. Find the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial 6x² - 3 – 7x and verify the
relationship between the zeros and the coefficients.
16. Find the quadratic polynomial sum and product of whose zeros are –1 and –
20 respectively. Also find the zeros of the polynomial so obtained.
17. Write the discriminant of the quadratic equation :
(x + 5)² = 2(5x – 3)
OR
Solve for x : 6x² + 11x + 3 = 0

Section – D (5x1 = 5)
18. Draw the graph of the equations x – y + 1 =0 and 3x + 2y – 12 = 0. Using this
graph, find the values of x and y which satisfy both the equations.
OR
Draw the graph of 2x + y = 6 and 2x – y + 2 = 0. Shade the region bounded
by these lines and x-axis. Find the area of the shaded region.
Section – E (4x2 = 8)
This section comprises 2 case study based questions of 4 marks each.
19. There are two sections in class 10 th in a School-Section A and Section B. To
enhance the reading skills of the students, on each day, the school nominates
2 students from each section to set up a class library. There are 42 students
in section A and 40 students in section B.
Read the above information and answer the following questions:
(i) If the product of two positive integers is equal to the product of their HCF and
LCM is true then, find the HCF (42, 40). 1
(ii) Find the LCM of 42 and 40. 1
(iii) Express 40 as a product of its prime numbers. 2
OR
Find the HCF of first prime number and first composite number.
20. Quadratic equations are useful in finding speeds. Avid Kayakers use
quadratic equation to estimate their speed when going up and down a river.
Assume a Kayaker is going up a river, and the speed of boat in still water is 5
km/hr. It takes 1 hour more to row boat 5.25 km upstream then to return
downstream.
(a) Find the quadratic equation for the speed of stream. 1
(b) Calculate the speed of the stream. 1
(c) What is the time taken to go downstream by the boat? 2
OR
What is the time taken to go upstream by the boat?
