SECTION – A
Q-1 The first three terms of an AP respectively are 3y – 1, 3y +5 and 5y +1. Then y equals
(A) -3
(B) 4
(C) 5
(D) 2
Solution:
The first three terms of an AP are 3y-1, 3y+5 and 5y+1, respectively.
We need to find the value of y.
We know that if a, b and c are in AP, then:
b − a = c − b ⇒ 2b = a + c
∴ 2 (3y+5) = 3y – 1 +5y +1
⇒6y +10 = 8y
⇒10 = 8y -6y
⇒ 2y =10
⇒y=5
Hence the correct option is C.

CBSE-X-2014 EXAMINATION
(A) 3.8
(B) 7.6
(C) 5.7
(D) 1.9
Solution:
It is known that the length of the tangents drawn from an external point to a circle is equal.
∴ QP = PT = 3.8 cm ... (1)
PR = PT = 3.8 cm ... (2)
From equations (1) and (2), we get:
QP = PR = 3.8 cm
Now, QR = QP + PR
= 3.8 cm + 3.8 cm
= 7.6 cm
Hence, the correct option is B.
3. In Fig. 2, PQ and PR are two tangents to a circle with centre O. If ∠QPR = 46° , then ∠QOR equals:
(A) 67°
(B) 134°
(C) 44°
(D) 46°
Solution:
Given: ∠QPR = 46°
PQ and PR are tangents.
Therefore, the radius drawn to these tangents will be perpendicular to the tangents.
So, we have OQ ⊥ PQ and OR ⊥ RP.
⇒ ∠OQP = ∠ORP = 90°
So, in quadrilateral PQOR, we have
∠OQP +∠QPR + ∠PRO + ∠ROQ = 360°
⇒ 90° + 46° + 90° + ∠ROQ = 360°
⇒ ∠ROQ = 360° − 226° = 134°
4. A Ladder makes an angle of 60° with the ground when placed against a wall. If the foot of the ladder is 2
m away from the wall, then the length ( in meters) is:
4
(A)
3
(B) 4 3
(C) 2 2
(D) 4
Solution:
In the figure, MN is the length of the ladder, which is placed against the wall AB and makes an angle of 60°
with the ground.
The foot of the ladder is at N, which is 2 m away from the wall.
∴ BN = 2 m
In right-angled triangle MNB:
BN 2m
cos60  
MN MN
1 2m
 
2 MN
 MN  4m
Therefore, the length of the ladder is 4 m.
Hence, the correct option is D
Q5. If two different dice are rolled together, the probability of getting an even number on both dice, is:
(A) 1/36
(B) 1/2
(C) 1/6
(D) 1/4
Solution:
Possible outcomes on rolling the two dice are given below:
{(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6),
(2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6),
(3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6),
(4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6),
(5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6),
(6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)}
Total number of outcomes = 36
Favourable outcomes are given below:
{(2, 2), (2, 4), (2, 6), (4, 2), (4, 4), (4, 6), (6, 2), (6, 4), (6, 6)}
Total number of favourable outcomes = 9
∴ Probability of getting an even number on both dice =
Total number of favourable outcomes 9 1
 
Total number of outcomes 36 4
Hence, the correct option is D.
Q6. A number is selected at random from the numbers 1 to 30. The probability that it is a prime number
(A) 2/3
(B) 1/6
(C) 1/3
(D) 11/30
Solution:
Total number of possible outcomes = 30
Prime numbers between 1 to 30 are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23 and 29.
∴ Probability of selecting a prime number from 1 to 30
=  
Hence, the correct option is C.
Q7 If the points A(x, 2), B (-3,-4) and C (7, -5) are collinear, then the value of x is:
(A) -63
(B) 63
(C) 60
(D) -60
Solution:
It is given that the three points A(x, 2), B(−3, −4) and C(7, −5) are collinear.
∴ Area of ΔABC = 0
1
⇒ [x (y - y ) + x2(y3 - y1) + x3(y1 - y2) ] = 0
2 1 2 3
Here, x1 =x, y1 =2, x2 = -3, y2 = -4, and x3 = 7, y3 =-5
⇒ x[-4 - (-5)] - 3(-5 - 2) + 7[2 -(-4) ] = 0

⇒ x(-4 + 5) - 3(-5 -2) + 7(2 + 4) = 0
⇒ x - 3 × (-7) + 7 × 6 = 0
⇒ x + 21 + 42 = 0 ⇒ x + 63 = 0
⇒ x = -63
Thus, the value of x is − 63.
Hence, the correct option is A.
Q8 The number of solid of solid spheres, each of diameter 6cm that can be made by melting a solid metal
cylinder of height 45 cm and diameter 4 cm is:
(A) 3
(B) 5
(C) 4
(D) 6
Solution:
Let r and h be the radius and the height of the cylinder, respectively.
Given: Diameter of the cylinder = 4 cm
∴ Radius of the cylinder, r = 2 cm
Height of the cylinder, h = 45 cm
2 2 3 3
Volume of the solid cylinder = πr h =π × (2) × 45 cm = 180π cm
Suppose the radius of each sphere be R cm.
Diameter of the sphere = 6 cm
∴ Radius of the sphere, R = 3 cm
Let n be the number of solids formed by melting the solid metallic cylinder.
∴ n × Volume of the solid spheres = Volume of the solid cylinder
4
 n  R 3  180

4
 n  R 3  180 k

Solution:
We have: 2x2 + ax –a2 = 0
Comparing the given equation with the standard quadratic equation (ax2 + bx + c = 0), we get a =2, b = a
and c =-a2
Using the quadratic formula, x  b  b  4ac , we get:

Q10. The first and the last terms of an AP are 5 and 45 respectively. If the sum of all its terms is 400, Find
its common difference.
Solution:
Let a be the first term and d be the common difference.
Given: a = 5
Tn  45
Sn  400
We know:
Tn  a  (n  1)d
 45  5  (n  1)d
 40  (n  1)d ..........(1)
n
And Sn  a  Tn
2
n
 400  (5  45)
2
n 400
 
2 50
 n  2  8  16
On substituting n = 16 in (1), we get:
40 =(16-1)d
⇒ 40 = (15)d
40 8
⇒d = 15  3
Thus, the common difference is 83.
Q11. Prove that the line segment joining the point of contact of two parallel tangles of a circle passes
through its centre.
Solution:
Let XBY and PCQ be two parallel tangents to a circle with centre O.
Construction: Join OB and OC.
Now, XB ||AO
⇒ ∠XBO +∠AOB = 180° (sum of adjacent interior angles is 180°)

Now, ∠XBO = 90° (A tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact)
⇒90° +∠AOB =180°
⇒∠AOB = 180° - 90° =180°
Similarly , ∠AOC = 90⁰
∠AOB + ∠AOC = 90⁰ + 90⁰= 180°
Hence, BOC is a straight line passing through O.
Thus, the line segment joining the points of contact of two parallel tangents of a circle passes through its
centre.
Q12 If from an external point P of a circle with centre O, two tangents PQ and PR are drawn such that
∠QPR = 120° , prove that 2PQ = PO.
Solution:
Let us draw the circle with extent point P and two tangents PQ and PR.
We know that the radius is perpendicular to the tangent at the point of contact.
∴∠OQP = 90°
We also know that the tangents drawn to a circle from an external point are equally inclined to the joining
the centre to that point.
∴∠QPO = 60°
Now, in ΔQPO:

Cos 60°=

⇒2PQ = PO
Q13 Rahim tosses two different coins simultaneously. Find the probability of getting at least one tail.

Outcomes in favour of getting at least one tail on tossing the two coins = {HT, TH, TT}
Number of outcomes in favour of getting at least one tail = 3
∴ Probability of getting at least one tail on tossing the two coins
Number of favourable outcomes 3

Total number of outcomes 4
Q14 In fig. 3, a square OABC is inscribed in a quadrant OPBQ of a circle. If OA = 20 cm, find the area of the

 OB  20 2
Radius of the circle, r  20 2cm

⇒ x2 +2x –x-2 =0
⇒(x+2) (x-1) =0
⇒(x+2) =0 (x–1)=0
⇒ x = -2 or x = 1
Thus, the solution of the given equation is -2 or 1.

Q17. Draw a right triangle ABC is which AB = 6 cm, BC = 8 cm and ∠B = 90°. Draw BD perpendicular from B
on AC and draw a circle passing through the points B, C and D. Construct tangents from A to this circle.
Solution:
Follow the given steps to construct the figure.
Step 1
Draw a line BC of 8 cm length.
Step 2
Draw BX perpendicular to BC.
Step 3
Mark an arc at the distance of 6 cm on BX. Mark it as A.
Step 4
Join A and C. Thus, ΔABC is the required triangle.
Step 5
With B as the centre, draw an arc on AC.
Step 6
Draw the bisector of this arc and join it with B. Thus, BD is perpendicular to AC.
Step 7
Now, draw the perpendicular bisector of BD and CD. Take the point of intersection as O.
Step 8
With O as the centre and OB as the radius, draw a circle passing through points B, C and D.
Step 9
Join A and O and bisect it Let P be the midpoint of AO.
Step 10
Taking P as the centre and PO as its radius, draw a circle which will intersect the circle at point B and G.
Join A and G.
Here, AB and AG are the required tangents to the circle from A.
Q18. If the point A (0,2) is equidistant from the points B(3, p) and C(p, 5), find P. Also find the the length of
AB.
Solution:
The given points are A (0, 2), B (3, p) and C (p, 5).
It is given that A is equidistant from B and C.
∴ AB = AC
⇒ AB2 = AC2
⇒ (3-0)2 + (p-2)2 = (p-0)2 + (5-2)2
⇒ 9 + p2+ 4- 4p = p2 +9
⇒ 4 - 4p =0
⇒ 4p =4

Thus, the value of p is 1
Length of AB  (3  0)2  (1  2)2  32  (1)2  9  1  10units.

Q 25. The difference of two natural number is 5 and the difference of their reciprocals is 110. Find the
numbers.
Solution:
Let the two natural numbers be X and Y such that x > y.
Given:
Difference between the natural numbers = 5
∴ X - Y =5 …..(1)
1
Difference of their reciprocals  (given)

1 1 1
 
y x 10
xy 1
 
xy 10
5 1
 
xy 10
 xy  50 ..............(ii)
Putting the value of x from equation (i) in equation (ii), we get

(y+5) y =50
⇒ y2 +5y - 50 = 0
⇒ y2 + 10y -5y - 50 = 0
⇒ y (y+10) – 5 (y+10) = 0
⇒ (y -5) (y + 10) = 0
⇒ y = 5 or -10
As y is a natural number, therefore y = 5
Other natural number = y + 5 = 5 + 5 = 10
Thus, the two natural numbers are 5 and 10.
Q26. Prove that the length of the tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal.
Solution:
Let AP and BP be the two tangents to the circle with centre O.
To Prove : AP = BP
Proof:
In ΔAOP and ΔBOP
OA =OB (radii of the same circle)
∠OAP = ∠OBP = 90° (since tangent at any point of a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point
of contact)
OP = OP (common)
∴ ΔAOP ≅ Δ OBP (by R.H.S. congruence criterion)
∴ AP = BP (corresponding parts of congruent triangles)
Hence the length of the tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal.
Q27. The angles of elevation and depression of the top and the bottom of a tower from the top Of a
building, 60 m high, are 30° and 60° respectively. Find the difference between the heights of the building

Height of the tower = CE + ED = CE + AB = 20 m + 60 m = 80 m

Difference between the heights of the tower and the building = 80 m – 60m = 20 m
Distance between the tower and the building = BD = 20 3 m.

Q30. Find the values of k for which the quadratic equation (k + 4) x2 + (k + 1)x + 1 = 0 has equal roots. Also
find these roots.
Solution:
Given quadratic equation:
(k + 4)x2 + (k + 1)x + 1=0
Since the given quadratic equation has equal roots, Its discriminant should be zero.
∴D=0
⇒(k+1)2- 4 × (k+4) × 1 = 0
⇒k2+2k+1- 4k - 16=0
⇒k2- 2k -15 =0
⇒k2 - 5k+ 3k -15 = 0
⇒(k-5) (k+3) =0
⇒k-5 =0 or k+3 =0
⇒k = 5 or -3
Thus, the values of k are 5 and -3
For k = 5 (k+4)x2 +(k+1)x +1= 0
⇒9x2 +6x +1 = 0
⇒(3x)2 +2(3x) +1 =0
⇒(3x +1)2 =0

nth term of an A. P, an = a + ( n -1 )d
n
Sum of n terms of an A. P , Sn  [2a   n  1  d ]
2
We have:
10
Sum of the first 10 terms = [2a  9d ]
2
 210 = 5[2a+9d ]
⇒ 42 = 2a+9d ………. (1)

15th term from the last = ( 50−15 + 1)th= 36th term from the beginning
Now, a36 = a + 35d
15
∴ Sum of the last 15 terms = (2a36  (15  1)d )
2
15
 [2(a  35d)  14d]
2
 15[a  35d  7d ]
⇒2565 = 15[a+42d]
⇒ 171= a+42d ………….(2)
From (1) and (2), we get,
d=4
a=3
So, the A. P. formed is 3, 7, 11, 15 …. and 199.
Q32 . Prove that a parallelogram circumscribing a circle is a rhombus.

Solution:
Given ABCD be a parallelogram circumscribing a circle with centre O.
To Prove: ABCD is a rhombus.
We know that the tangents drawn to a circle from an exterior point are equal is length.
∴ AP = AS, BP = BQ, CR =CQ AND DR = DS.
AP +BP +CR +DR = AS +BQ +CQ +DS
(AP +BP) + (CR+DR) = (AS+DS) +BQ +CQ)
∴AB +CD =AD +BC OR 2AB = 2BC (since AB =DC and AD = BC)
∴ AB = BC = DC =AD
Therefore, ABCD is a rhombus.

0.5
Radius (r2) of the metallic spherical balls =  0.25 cm
2
Let n be the number of spherical balls = that were dropped in the the vessel.
Volume of the water spilled = Volume of the spherical balls dropped
2

Here, x1 =x, y1 =2, x2 = -3, y2 = -4, and x3 = 7, y3 =-5

⇒ x[-4 - (-5)] - 3(-5 - 2) + 7[2 -(-4) ] = 0

Using the quadratic formula, x  b  b  4ac , we get:

So, the solutions of the given quadratic equation are x  a or x  a.

Thus, the common difference is 83.

⇒ ∠XBO +∠AOB = 180° (sum of adjacent interior angles is 180°)

Let us join OB.

In ΔOAB: OB2 = OA2 +AB2 = (20)2 + (20)2 = 2 × (20) 2

Area of quadrant OPBQ    r 2

Area of square OABC = (Side)2 = (20)2 cm2 = 400 cm2

⇒-6x2 +8x-9x+12 =5x

Thus, the 63rd term of the given A.P. is 1.

Thus, the value of p is 1

Length of AB  (3  0)2  (1  2)2  32  (1)2  9  1  10units.

In right –angled ΔADO, we have.

Thus, the distance between two ships is approximately 316 m.

Join OA, OB and OC.

Let the radius of the circle be r cm.

Therefore the radius of the inscribed circle is 3.46 cm.

= [36 ×1.73 – 12 × 3.14] cm2

Radius of Semicircle RTQ = 1 × 3 = 1.5 cm

Radius of semicircle PAQ = 1 ×7 cm = 3.5 cm

Internal radius of the pipe = r = 20 cm =10 cm = 1 m

Rate of flow of water = v = 4 km/h = 4000 m/h

Let t be the time taken to fill the tank.

Putting the value of x from equation (i) in equation (ii), we get

In ΔAOP and ΔBOP

OA =OB (radii of the same circle)

Height of the tower = CE + ED = CE + AB = 20 m + 60 m = 80 m

Distance between the tower and the building = BD = 20 3 m.

(1) An odd number

(3) A perfect Square

(4) An even prime number.

(ii) Total number of outcomes = 49

(iii) Total number of outcomes = 49

Now, the coordinates of P are (x,2)

(k + 4)x2 + (k + 1)x + 1=0

For k = -3 (k +4)x2 +(k+1)x + 1 = 0

⇒ 42 = 2a+9d ………. (1)

Q32 . Prove that a parallelogram circumscribing a circle is a rhombus.

∴ AP = AS, BP = BQ, CR =CQ AND DR = DS.

AP +BP +CR +DR = AS +BQ +CQ +DS

Therefore, ABCD is a rhombus.

Height (h) of the conical vessel = 11 cm

This shows the judicious usage of water.

∴ Radius  of the cylindrical part = Radius  of the conical part = 2.1 cm
