 SECTION – E
This section consists of 3 case study based questions of 4 marks each :
36. A stable owner has four horses. He usually tie these horses with 7 m long rope
to pegs at each corner of a square shaped grass field of 20 m length, to graze in
his farm. But tying with rope sometimes results in injuries to his horses, so he
decided to build fence around the area so that each horse can graze.

Based on the above, answer the following questions :

(i) Find the area of the square shaped grass field. 1
(ii) (a) Find the area of the total field in which these horses can graze. 2
OR
(b) If the length of the rope of each horse is increased from 7 m to

rope of each horse is 7 cm ? 1
37. Vocational training complements traditional education by providing
practical skills and hands-on experience. While education equips
individuals with a broad knowledge base, vocational training focuses on
job-specific skills, enhancing employability thus making the student self-
reliant. Keeping this in view, a teacher made the following table giving
the frequency distribution of students/adults undergoing vocational
training from the training institute.

From the above answer the following questions :
(i) What is the lower limit of the modal class of the above data ? 1
(ii) (a) Find the median class of the above data. 2
OR
(b) Find the number of participants of age less than 50 years who
undergo vocational training. 2
(iii) Give the empirical relationship between mean, median and mode. 1

38. Teaching Mathematics through activities is a powerful approach that

enhances students’ understanding and engagement. Keeping this in mind,
Ms. Mukta planned a prime number game for class 5 students. She
announces the number 2 in her class and asked the first student to
multiply it by a prime number and then pass it to second student. Second
student also multiplied it by a prime number and passed it to third
student. In this way by multiplying to a prime number, the last student
got 173250.
Now, Mukta asked some questions as given below to the students :
(i) What is the least prime number used by students ? 1
(ii) (a) How many students are in the class ? 2
OR
(b) What is the highest prime number used by students ? 2
(iii) Which prime number has been used maximum times ? 1

 Marking Scheme
Strictly Confidential
(For Internal and Restricted use only)
Secondary School Examination, 2024
MATHEMATICS PAPER CODE 30/5/1
General Instructions: -
1 You are aware that evaluation is the most important process in the actual and correct
assessment of the candidates. A small mistake in evaluation may lead to serious problems
which may affect the future of the candidates, education system and teaching profession. To
avoid mistakes, it is requested that before starting evaluation, you must read and understand the
spot evaluation guidelines carefully.

2 “Evaluation policy is a confidential policy as it is related to the confidentiality of the

examinations conducted, Evaluation done and several other aspects. It’s leakage to public
in any manner could lead to derailment of the examination system and affect the life and
future of millions of candidates. Sharing this policy/document to anyone, publishing in
any magazine and printing in News Paper/Website etc. may invite action under various
rules of the Board and IPC.”
3 Evaluation is to be done as per instructions provided in the Marking Scheme. It should not be
done according to one’s own interpretation or any other consideration. Marking Scheme should
be strictly adhered to and religiously followed. However, while evaluating, answers which
are based on latest information or knowledge and/or are innovative, they may be assessed
for their correctness otherwise and due marks be awarded to them. In class-X, while
evaluating two competency-based questions, please try to understand given answer and
even if reply is not from marking scheme but correct competency is enumerated by the
candidate, due marks should be awarded.
4 The Marking scheme carries only suggested value points for the answers.
These are in the nature of Guidelines only and do not constitute the complete answer. The
students can have their own expression and if the expression is correct, the due marks should
be awarded accordingly.
5 The Head-Examiner must go through the first five answer books evaluated by each evaluator
on the first day, to ensure that evaluation has been carried out as per the instructions given in
the Marking Scheme. If there is any variation, the same should be zero after deliberation and
discussion. The remaining answer books meant for evaluation shall be given only after
ensuring that there is no significant variation in the marking of individual evaluators.

6 Evaluators will mark (✓) wherever answer is correct. For wrong answer CROSS ‘X” be
marked. Evaluators will not put right (✓) while evaluating which gives an impression that
answer is correct and no marks are awarded. This is most common mistake which evaluators
are committing.
7 If a question has parts, please award marks on the right-hand side for each part. Marks awarded
for different parts of the question should then be totalled up and written on the left-hand margin
and encircled. This may be followed strictly.

8 If a question does not have any parts, marks must be awarded on the left-hand margin and
encircled. This may also be followed strictly.

MS_X_Mathematics_041_30/5/1_2023-24 1
 9 In Q1-Q20, if a candidate attempts the question more than once (without cancelling the
previous attempt), marks shall be awarded for the first attempt only and the other
answer scored out with a note “Extra Question”.
10 In Q21-Q38, if a student has attempted an extra question, answer of the question
deserving more marks should be retained and the other answer scored out with a note
“Extra Question”.
11 No marks to be deducted for the cumulative effect of an error. It should be penalized only once.

12 A full scale of marks __________ (example 0 to 80/70/60/50/40/30 marks as given in Question

Paper) has to be used. Please do not hesitate to award full marks if the answer deserves it.
13 Every examiner has to necessarily do evaluation work for full working hours i.e., 8 hours every
day and evaluate 20 answer books per day in main subjects and 25 answer books per day in
other subjects (Details are given in Spot Guidelines). This is in view of the reduced syllabus
and number of questions in question paper.

14 Ensure that you do not make the following common types of errors committed by the Examiner
in the past:-
● Leaving answer or part thereof unassessed in an answer book.
● Giving more marks for an answer than assigned to it.
● Wrong totalling of marks awarded to an answer.
● Wrong transfer of marks from the inside pages of the answer book to the title page.
● Wrong question wise totalling on the title page.
● Wrong totalling of marks of the two columns on the title page.
● Wrong grand total.
● Marks in words and figures not tallying/not same.
● Wrong transfer of marks from the answer book to online award list.
● Answers marked as correct, but marks not awarded. (Ensure that the right tick mark is
correctly and clearly indicated. It should merely be a line. Same is with the X for incorrect
answer.)
● Half or a part of answer marked correct and the rest as wrong, but no marks awarded.
15 While evaluating the answer books if the answer is found to be totally incorrect, it should be
marked as cross (X) and awarded zero (0) Marks.
16 Any un assessed portion, non-carrying over of marks to the title page, or totaling error detected
by the candidate shall damage the prestige of all the personnel engaged in the evaluation work
as also of the Board. Hence, in order to uphold the prestige of all concerned, it is again
reiterated that the instructions be followed meticulously and judiciously.

17 The Examiners should acquaint themselves with the guidelines given in the “Guidelines for
spot Evaluation” before starting the actual evaluation.

18 Every Examiner shall also ensure that all the answers are evaluated, marks carried over to the
title page, correctly totalled and written in figures and words.

19 The candidates are entitled to obtain photocopy of the Answer Book on request on payment of
the prescribed processing fee. All Examiners/Additional Head Examiners/Head Examiners are
once again reminded that they must ensure that evaluation is carried out strictly as per value
points for each answer as given in the Marking Scheme.

 Case Study – 3
38. Partha, a software engineer, lives in Jerusalem for his work. He lives in the most
convenient area of the city from where bank, hospital, post office and
supermarket can be easily accessed. In the graph, the bank is plotted as A(9, 5),
hospital as B(– 3, – 1) and supermarket as C(5, – 5) such that A, B, C form a
triangle.

Based on the above given information, answer the following questions :

(i) Find the distance between the bank and the hospital. 1
(ii) In between the bank and the supermarket, there is a post office plotted at E
which is their mid-point. Find the coordinates of E. 1
(iii) (a) In between the hospital and the supermarket, there is a bus stop
plotted as D, which is their mid-point. If Partha wants to reach the
bus stand from the bank, then how much distance does he need to
cover ? 2
OR
(b) P and Q are two different garment shops lying between the bank and
the hospital, such that BP = PQ = QA. If the coordinates of P and Q
are (1, a) and (b, 3) respectively, then find the values of ‘a’ and ‘b’. 2

 Marking Scheme
Strictly Confidential
(For Internal and Restricted use only)
Secondary School Supplementary Examination, 2024
MATHEMATICS 041 PAPER CODE 30/S/1
General Instructions: -
1 You are aware that evaluation is the most important process in the actual and correct assessment of
the candidates. A small mistake in evaluation may lead to serious problems which may affect the
future of the candidates, education system and teaching profession. To avoid mistakes, it is requested
that before starting evaluation, you must read and understand the spot evaluation guidelines
carefully.
2 “Evaluation policy is a confidential policy as it is related to the confidentiality of the
examinations conducted, Evaluation done and several other aspects. It’s leakage to public in
any manner could lead to derailment of the examination system and affect the life and future
of millions of candidates. Sharing this policy/document to anyone, publishing in any magazine
and printing in News Paper/Website etc. may invite action under various rules of the Board
and IPC.”
3 Evaluation is to be done as per instructions provided in the Marking Scheme. It should not be done
according to one’s own interpretation or any other consideration. Marking Scheme should be strictly
adhered to and religiously followed. However, while evaluating, answers which are based on
latest information or knowledge and/or are innovative, they may be assessed for their
correctness otherwise and due marks be awarded to them. In class -X, while evaluating two
competency-based questions, please try to understand given answer and even if reply is not
from marking scheme but correct competency is enumerated by the candidate, due marks
should be awarded.
4 The Marking scheme carries only suggested value points for the answers.
These are in the nature of Guidelines only and do not constitute the complete answer. The students
can have their own expression and if the expression is correct, the due marks should be awarded
accordingly.
5 The Head-Examiner must go through the first five answer books evaluated by each evaluator on the
first day, to ensure that evaluation has been carried out as per the instructions given in the Marking
Scheme. If there is any variation, the same should be zero after deliberation and discussion. The
remaining answer books meant for evaluation shall be given only after ensuring that there is no
significant variation in the marking of individual evaluators.
6 Evaluators will mark (✓) wherever answer is correct. For wrong answer CROSS ‘X” be marked.
Evaluators will not put right (✓) while evaluating which gives an impression that answer is correct
and no marks are awarded. This is most common mistake which evaluators are committing.
7 If a question has parts, please award marks on the right-hand side for each part. Marks awarded for
different parts of the question should then be totalled up and written on the left-hand margin and
encircled. This may be followed strictly.
8 If a question does not have any parts, marks must be awarded on the left-hand margin and encircled.
This may also be followed strictly.
9 In Q1-Q20, if a candidate attempts the question more than once (without cancelling the previous
attempt), marks shall be awarded for the first attempt only and the other answer scored out with a
note “Extra Question”.
10 In Q21-Q38, if a student has attempted an extra question, answer of the question deserving more marks
should be retained and the other answer scored out with a note “Extra Question”.
11 No marks to be deducted for the cumulative effect of an error. It should be penalized only once.
12 A full scale of marks __________ (example 0 to 80/70/60/50/40/30 marks as given in Question
Paper) has to be used. Please do not hesitate to award full marks if the answer deserves it.

MS_X_Mathematics_041_30/S/1_2023-24 1
 13 Every examiner has to necessarily do evaluation work for full working hours i.e., 8 hours every day
and evaluate 20 answer books per day in main subjects and 25 answer books per day in other subjects
(Details are given in Spot Guidelines). This is in view of the reduced syllabus and number of
questions in question paper.
14 Ensure that you do not make the following common types of errors committed by the Examiner in
the past:-
● Leaving answer or part thereof unassessed in an answer book.
● Giving more marks for an answer than assigned to it.
● Wrong totalling of marks awarded on an answer.
● Wrong transfer of marks from the inside pages of the answer book to the title page.
● Wrong question wise totalling on the title page.
● Wrong totalling of marks of the two columns on the title page.
● Wrong grand total.
● Marks in words and figures not tallying/not same.
● Wrong transfer of marks from the answer book to online award list.
● Answers marked as correct, but marks not awarded. (Ensure that the right tick mark is correctly
and clearly indicated. It should merely be a line. Same is with the X for incorrect answer.)
Half or a part of answer marked correct and the rest as wrong, but no marks awarded.
15 While evaluating the answer books if the answer is found to be totally incorrect, it should be marked
as cross (X) and awarded zero (0) Marks.
16 Any un assessed portion, non-carrying over of marks to the title page, or totalling error detected by
the candidate shall damage the prestige of all the personnel engaged in the evaluation work as also
of the Board. Hence, in order to uphold the prestige of all concerned, it is again reiterated that the
instructions be followed meticulously and judiciously.
17 The Examiners should acquaint themselves with the guidelines given in the “Guidelines for spot
Evaluation” before starting the actual evaluation.
18 Every Examiner shall also ensure that all the answers are evaluated, marks carried over to the title
page, correctly totalled and written in figures and words.
19 The candidates are entitled to obtain photocopy of the Answer Book on request on payment of the
prescribed processing fee. All Examiners/Additional Head Examiners/Head Examiners are once
again reminded that they must ensure that evaluation is carried out strictly as per value points for
each answer as given in the Marking Scheme.

 Marking Scheme
Strictly Confidential
(For Internal and Restricted use only)
Secondary School Examination, 2024
MATHEMATICS PAPER CODE 30(B)
General Instructions: -
1 You are aware that evaluation is the most important process in the actual and correct
assessment of the candidates. A small mistake in evaluation may lead to serious problems
which may affect the future of the candidates, education system and teaching profession. To
avoid mistakes, it is requested that before starting evaluation, you must read and understand
the spot evaluation guidelines carefully.
2 “Evaluation policy is a confidential policy as it is related to the confidentiality of the
examinations conducted, Evaluation done and several other aspects. It’s leakage to
public in any manner could lead to derailment of the examination system and affect the
life and future of millions of candidates. Sharing this policy/document to anyone,
publishing in any magazine and printing in News Paper/Website etc. may invite action
under various rules of the Board and IPC.”
3 Evaluation is to be done as per instructions provided in the Marking Scheme. It should not
be done according to one’s own interpretation or any other consideration. Marking Scheme
should be strictly adhered to and religiously followed. However, while evaluating, answers
which are based on latest information or knowledge and/or are innovative, they may be
assessed for their correctness otherwise and due marks be awarded to them. In class -
X, while evaluating two competency-based questions, please try to understand given
answer and even if reply is not from marking scheme but correct competency is
enumerated by the candidate, due marks should be awarded.
4 The Marking scheme carries only suggested value points for the answers.
These are in the nature of Guidelines only and do not constitute the complete answer. The
students can have their own expression and if the expression is correct, the due marks should
be awarded accordingly.
5 The Head-Examiner must go through the first five answer books evaluated by each evaluator
on the first day, to ensure that evaluation has been carried out as per the instructions given
in the Marking Scheme. If there is any variation, the same should be zero after deliberation
and discussion. The remaining answer books meant for evaluation shall be given only after
ensuring that there is no significant variation in the marking of individual evaluators.
6 Evaluators will mark (✓) wherever answer is correct. For wrong answer CROSS ‘X” be
marked. Evaluators will not put right (✓) while evaluating which gives an impression that
answer is correct and no marks are awarded. This is most common mistake which
evaluators are committing.
7 If a question has parts, please award marks on the right-hand side for each part. Marks
awarded for different parts of the question should then be totalled up and written on the left-
hand margin and encircled. This may be followed strictly.
8 If a question does not have any parts, marks must be awarded on the left-hand margin and
encircled. This may also be followed strictly.

1
MS_X_Mathematics_041_30(B)_2023-24
9 In Q1-Q20, if a candidate attempts the question more than once (without cancelling the
previous attempt), marks shall be awarded for the first attempt only and the other answer
scored out with a note “Extra Question”.
10 In Q21-Q38, if a student has attempted an extra question, answer of the question deserving
more marks should be retained and the other answer scored out with a note “Extra Question”.
11 No marks to be deducted for the cumulative effect of an error. It should be penalized only once.
12 A full scale of marks __________ (example 0 to 80/70/60/50/40/30 marks as given in
Question Paper) has to be used. Please do not hesitate to award full marks if the answer
deserves it.
13 Every examiner has to necessarily do evaluation work for full working hours i.e., 8 hours
every day and evaluate 20 answer books per day in main subjects and 25 answer books per
day in other subjects (Details are given in Spot Guidelines). This is in view of the reduced
syllabus and number of questions in question paper.
14 Ensure that you do not make the following common types of errors committed by the
Examiner in the past:-
● Leaving answer or part thereof unassessed in an answer book.
● Giving more marks for an answer than assigned to it.
● Wrong totalling of marks awarded on an answer.
● Wrong transfer of marks from the inside pages of the answer book to the title page.
● Wrong question wise totalling on the title page.
● Wrong totalling of marks of the two columns on the title page.
● Wrong grand total.
● Marks in words and figures not tallying/not same.
● Wrong transfer of marks from the answer book to online award list.
● Answers marked as correct, but marks not awarded. (Ensure that the right tick mark is
correctly and clearly indicated. It should merely be a line. Same is with the X for
incorrect answer.)
● Half or a part of answer marked correct and the rest as wrong, but no marks awarded.
15 While evaluating the answer books if the answer is found to be totally incorrect, it should be
marked as cross (X) and awarded zero (0) Marks.
16 Any un assessed portion, non-carrying over of marks to the title page, or totalling error
detected by the candidate shall damage the prestige of all the personnel engaged in the
evaluation work as also of the Board. Hence, in order to uphold the prestige of all concerned,
it is again reiterated that the instructions be followed meticulously and judiciously.
17 The Examiners should acquaint themselves with the guidelines given in the “Guidelines for
spot Evaluation” before starting the actual evaluation.
18 Every Examiner shall also ensure that all the answers are evaluated, marks carried over to
the title page, correctly totalled and written in figures and words.
19 The candidates are entitled to obtain photocopy of the Answer Book on request on payment
of the prescribed processing fee. All Examiners/Additional Head Examiners/Head
Examiners are once again reminded that they must ensure that evaluation is carried out
strictly as per value points for each answer as given in the Marking Scheme.

 CD = √(5– 2)2 + (– 1 + 5)2 = 5 ½
½
AD = √(6– 2)2 + (– 2 + 5)2 = 5

AC = √(6– 5)2 + (– 2 + 1)2 = √2 ½

BD = √(9– 2)2 + (2 + 5)2 = 7√2 ½

As AB = BC = CD = DA and AC ≠ BD 1+1
∴ ABCD is a rhombus and not a square.

 Marking Scheme
Strictly Confidential
(For Internal and Restricted use only)
Secondary School Supplementary Examination, 2024
MATHEMATICS 041 PAPER CODE 30(B)/S
General Instructions: -
1 You are aware that evaluation is the most important process in the actual and correct assessment of
the candidates. A small mistake in evaluation may lead to serious problems which may affect the
future of the candidates, education system and teaching profession. To avoid mistakes, it is requested
that before starting evaluation, you must read and understand the spot evaluation guidelines
carefully.
2 “Evaluation policy is a confidential policy as it is related to the confidentiality of the
examinations conducted, Evaluation done and several other aspects. It’s leakage to public in
any manner could lead to derailment of the examination system and affect the life and future
of millions of candidates. Sharing this policy/document to anyone, publishing in any magazine
and printing in News Paper/Website etc. may invite action under various rules of the Board
and IPC.”
3 Evaluation is to be done as per instructions provided in the Marking Scheme. It should not be done
according to one’s own interpretation or any other consideration. Marking Scheme should be strictly
adhered to and religiously followed. However, while evaluating, answers which are based on
latest information or knowledge and/or are innovative, they may be assessed for their
correctness otherwise and due marks be awarded to them. In class -X, while evaluating two
competency-based questions, please try to understand given answer and even if reply is not
from marking scheme but correct competency is enumerated by the candidate, due marks
should be awarded.
4 The Marking scheme carries only suggested value points for the answers.
These are in the nature of Guidelines only and do not constitute the complete answer. The students
can have their own expression and if the expression is correct, the due marks should be awarded
accordingly.
5 The Head-Examiner must go through the first five answer books evaluated by each evaluator on the
first day, to ensure that evaluation has been carried out as per the instructions given in the Marking
Scheme. If there is any variation, the same should be zero after deliberation and discussion. The
remaining answer books meant for evaluation shall be given only after ensuring that there is no
significant variation in the marking of individual evaluators.
6 Evaluators will mark (✓) wherever answer is correct. For wrong answer CROSS ‘X” be marked.
Evaluators will not put right (✓) while evaluating which gives an impression that answer is correct
and no marks are awarded. This is most common mistake which evaluators are committing.
7 If a question has parts, please award marks on the right-hand side for each part. Marks awarded for
different parts of the question should then be totalled up and written on the left-hand margin and
encircled. This may be followed strictly.
8 If a question does not have any parts, marks must be awarded on the left-hand margin and encircled.
This may also be followed strictly.
9 In Q1-Q20, if a candidate attempts the question more than once (without cancelling the previous
attempt), marks shall be awarded for the first attempt only and the other answer scored out with a
note “Extra Question”.

MS_X_Mathematics_041_30(B)/S_2023-24 1
 10 In Q21-Q38, if a student has attempted an extra question, answer of the question deserving more marks
should be retained and the other answer scored out with a note “Extra Question”.
11 No marks to be deducted for the cumulative effect of an error. It should be penalized only once.
12 A full scale of marks __________ (example 0 to 80/70/60/50/40/30 marks as given in Question
Paper) has to be used. Please do not hesitate to award full marks if the answer deserves it.
13 Every examiner has to necessarily do evaluation work for full working hours i.e., 8 hours every day
and evaluate 20 answer books per day in main subjects and 25 answer books per day in other subjects
(Details are given in Spot Guidelines). This is in view of the reduced syllabus and number of
questions in question paper.
14 Ensure that you do not make the following common types of errors committed by the Examiner in
the past:-
● Leaving answer or part thereof unassessed in an answer book.
● Giving more marks for an answer than assigned to it.
● Wrong totalling of marks awarded on an answer.
● Wrong transfer of marks from the inside pages of the answer book to the title page.
● Wrong question wise totalling on the title page.
● Wrong totalling of marks of the two columns on the title page.
● Wrong grand total.
● Marks in words and figures not tallying/not same.
● Wrong transfer of marks from the answer book to online award list.
● Answers marked as correct, but marks not awarded. (Ensure that the right tick mark is correctly
and clearly indicated. It should merely be a line. Same is with the X for incorrect answer.)
Half or a part of answer marked correct and the rest as wrong, but no marks awarded.
15 While evaluating the answer books if the answer is found to be totally incorrect, it should be marked
as cross (X) and awarded zero (0) Marks.
16 Any un assessed portion, non-carrying over of marks to the title page, or totalling error detected by
the candidate shall damage the prestige of all the personnel engaged in the evaluation work as also
of the Board. Hence, in order to uphold the prestige of all concerned, it is again reiterated that the
instructions be followed meticulously and judiciously.
17 The Examiners should acquaint themselves with the guidelines given in the “Guidelines for spot
Evaluation” before starting the actual evaluation.
18 Every Examiner shall also ensure that all the answers are evaluated, marks carried over to the title
page, correctly totalled and written in figures and words.
19 The candidates are entitled to obtain photocopy of the Answer Book on request on payment of the
prescribed processing fee. All Examiners/Additional Head Examiners/Head Examiners are once
again reminded that they must ensure that evaluation is carried out strictly as per value points for
each answer as given in the Marking Scheme.

QQ՛ ‖ PP՛
Let P and Q be the points of contact and O is the centre of the circle.
Join OP and OQ. Draw OA ‖ QQ՛. ½
∵ QQ՛ ⊥ OQ ⟹ ∠1 = 90° ⟹ ∠2 = 90° ------ (i) ½
Since OQ՛ ‖ PP՛
∴ OA ‖ PP՛ and hence ∠4 = 90° ------ (ii) ½
Adding (i) and (ii),
∠2 + ∠4 = 180° or ∠POQ = 180° ½
∴ POQ is a straight line.
