(a) 30°
(b) 90°
(c) 60°
(d) 45°
Answer:
(d) 45°

For θ = 45°
sin 45° + cos 45° = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}\)
= √2 = 1.414 [greatest value]

Question 2.
If 3 chairs and 1 table cost ₹ 1500 and 6 chairs and 1 table costs ₹ 2400, then the linear equations to represent this situation is
(a) x + 3y = 1500 and 6x – y = 2400
(b) 3x – y = 1500 and 6x – y = 2400
(c) 3x + y = 1500 and 6x + y = 2400
(d) x – y = 1500 and x + y = 2400
Answer:
(c) 3x + y = 1500 and 6x + y = 2400

We have, the cost of 1 chair = ₹ x
and the cost of 1 table = ₹ y
Then, according to the given situation
3x + y = 1500

CBSE Sample Papers for Class 10 Maths Basic Set 12 with Solutions 11

∴ ∆DEF ~ ∆QRP [by AA Rule]
∴ \(\frac{D F}{Q P}=\frac{E D}{R Q}=\frac{F E}{P R}\)
Hence, except option (b), all options are true.

Question 6.
If two tangents inclined at an angle 60° are drawn to a circle of radius 3 cm, the length of each tangent is equal to
(a) 3 cm
(b) 6 cm
(c) \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) cm
(d) 3√3 cm
Answer:
(d) 3√3 cm

(d) In ∆POR and ∆OQR
OP = OQ [radius of circle]
∠OPR = ∠OQR [each 90°]
and PR = QR
[∵ pair of tangents drawn from a outside point to a circle are equal in length]

CBSE Sample Papers for Class 10 Maths Basic Set 12 with Solutions 12

So, ∆POR and ∆QOR are congruent. [by SAS congruency]
Therefore, ∠QRO = \(\frac{60^{\circ}}{2}\) = 30°
In right angled ∆OPR,
tan 30° = \(\frac{O P}{P R}\)
⇒ \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{3}{P R}\)
⇒ RP = 3√3 cm = QR

Here, \(\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{3}{-12}=\frac{-1}{4}\),
\(\frac{b_1}{b_2}=\frac{-6}{24}=\frac{-1}{4}\)
and \(\frac{c_1}{c_2}=\frac{9}{36}=\frac{1}{4}\)
As \(\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{b_1}{b_2} \neq \frac{c_1}{c_2}\)
Hence, the given system has no solution.

(a) k = ± 2
(b) k = ± 9
(c) k = 4
(d) k = ± 3
Answer:
(d) k = ± 3

Here a = 12, b = 4k and c = 3
The given equation has real and equal roots.
∴ Discriminant, D = b2 – 4ac = 0
⇒ (4k)2 – 4 (12) (3) = 0
⇒ 16k2 – 144 = 0
⇒ k2 = 9
⇒ k = ± 3

(a) ± \(\sqrt{20}\) units
(b) ± 4 units
(c) 0 unit
(d) ± 3 units
Answer:
(b) ± 4 units

Distance between (4, p) and (1, 0)
\(\sqrt{(4-1)^2+(p-0)^2}\) = 5 units
On squaring both sides, we get
(4 – 1)2 + p2 = 25
9 + p2 = 25
p2 = 25 – 9 = 16
p = ± 4

Question 11.
A sector is cut from a circle of diameter 21 cm, If the angle of the sector is 150°, then its area is
(a) 27.5 cm2
(b) 144 cm2

(d) 288 cm2
Answer:
(b) 144 cm2

Given, radius of the circle, r = \(\frac{21}{2}\) cm
and angle of sector, θ = 150°
∴ Area of the sector = \(\frac{\theta^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}}\) × πr²
= \(\frac{150^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}} \times \frac{22}{7} \times\left(\frac{21}{2}\right)^2\)
= \(\frac{5}{12} \times \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{21}{2} \times \frac{21}{2}\)
= 144.38
= 144 cm2

Question 12.

(a) 31
(b) 32
(c) 33
(d) 30
Answer:
(c) 33

(C) Let p(x) = 3x2 + 2x – k
Since, (x – 3) is a factor of p(x).
∴ p(3) = 0
⇒ (3)2 + 2(3) – k = 0
⇒ 27 + 6 – k = 0
⇒ k = 33

If one of the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial x2 – 3x + k is 2, then the value of k is
(a) 10
(b) 2
(c) – 7
(d) – 2
Answer:
(b) 2

Let p(x) = x2 – 3x + k
2 is a zero of p(x).
∵ f(2) = 0
⇒ (2)2 – 3(2) + k = 0
⇒ 4 – 6 + k = 0
⇒ k = 2

Question 14.
If P(x, 6) is the mid-point of the line segment joining A (6, 5) and B (4, y), then the value of y is
(a) 6
(b) 5
(c) 7
(d) 8
Answer:
(c) 7

We have, P is the mid-point of A and B.
∴ \(\left(\frac{6+4}{2}, \frac{5+y}{2}\right)\) = (x, 6)
⇒ (5, \(\frac{5+y}{2}\)) = (x, 6)
⇒ x = 5 and \(\frac{5+y}{2}\) = 6
⇒ x = 5 and y = 7

Question 15.
If the volume of a cube is 1728 cm3, the length of its edge is equal to
(a) 7 cm
(b) 12 cm
(c) 18 cm

(a) \(\frac{b}{a}\)
(b) 1
(c) \(\frac{a}{c}\)
(d) \(\frac{c}{a}\)
Answer:
(b) 1

Since, a, b, c are in AP
∴ b – a = c – b
⇒ \(\frac{b-a}{c-b}\) = 1
⇒ \(\frac{a-b}{b-c}\) = 1

Question 18.
Which of the following is not a quadratic equation?
(a) x2 + 5x – 3 = 0
(b) x2 + x3 + 7 = 0
(c) 3 + x + x2 = 0

CBSE Sample Papers for Class 10 Maths Basic Set 12 with Solutions 2

Form the frequency distribution table for the above data.
Answer:
Here, we observe that, 17 students have scored marks below 20, it lies between class interval 0 – 20 and 22 students have scored marks below 40, so 22 – 17 = 5 students lies in the class interval 20 – 40, continuing in the same manner, we get the frequency distribution table for above data as follows

Marks Number of students
0 – 20 17
20 – 40 22 – 17 = 5
40 – 60 29 – 22 = 7
60 – 80 37 – 29 = 8
80 – 100 50 – 37 = 13

Question 24.
Which term of the AP 3, 15, 27, 39, ……….. will be 120 more than its 21st term?
Answer:
Here, a = 3 and d = 15 – 3 = 12
∴ 21st term is given by
T21 = a + (21 – 1) d
[∵ Tn = a + (n – 1)d]
= a + 20d
= 3 + 20 x 12 = 243
∴ Required term = 243 + 120 = 363
Let it be nth term.
Then, Tn = 363
⇒ a + (n – 1) d = 363
⇒ 3 + (n -1) × 12 = 363
⇒ 3 + 12n – 12 = 363
⇒ 12n – 9 = 363
⇒ 12n = 372
∴ n = 31
Hence, 31st term is the required term.

Question 25.
Without solving the following quadratic equation, find the value of m for which the given equation has real and equal roots.
x2 + (m – 1) x + 2 (m + 5) = 0
Answer:
Given, quadratc equation is x2 + (m – 1) x + 2 (m + 5) = 0
On comparing it with ax2 + bx + c = 0 we get
a = 1, b = m – 1 and c = 2 (m + 5)
Since, the given equation has real and equal roots.
So, the discriminant will be zero.
i.e. b2 – 4ac = 0
⇒ [(m – 1)2] – 4 × 1 × 2 (m + 5) = 0
⇒ m2 + 1 – 2m – 8 (m + 5) = 0
[(a – b)2 = a2 + b2 – 2ab]
⇒ m2 + 1 – 2m- 8m – 40 = 0
⇒ m2 – 10m – 39 = 0
⇒m2 – 13m + 3m – 39 = 0
[splitting the middle term]
⇒ m (m – 13) + 3 (m – 13) = 0
⇒ (m + 3) (m – 13) = 0
⇒ m + 3 = 0 or m – 13 = 0
∴ m = – 3 or m = 13
Hence the values of m are – 3 and 13.

Or

For what value(s) of ‘a’ quadratic equation 30ax2 – 6x + 1 = 0 has no real roots?
Answer:
Given, quadratic equation is 30ax2 – 6x + 1 = 0.
On comparing with Ax2 + Bx + C = 0, we get
A = 30a, B = – 6 and C = 1
The condition that given roots have no real value
i.e. B2 – 4AC < 0
⇒ (- 6)2 – 4x3Oaxl< 0
⇒ 36 – 120a < 0
⇒ 120a > 36
⇒ a > \(\frac{36}{120}\)
⇒ a > \(\frac{3}{10}\)

Question 26.
Three different coins are tossed together. Find the probability of getting

(i) exactly two heads
Answer:
Total outcomes, {HHH, HHT HTH, THH, TTH, THT HTT TTT}
∴ Total number of outcomes = 8

The outcomes favourable to event are {HHT HTH, THH}
∴ P(exactly two heads) = \(\frac{\text { Number of favourable outcomes }}{\text { Total number of outcomes }}\)
= \(\frac{3}{8}\)

(ii) atleast two heads
Answer:
The outcomes favourable to event are {HHH, HHT, HTH, THH}
∴P(at least two heads) = \(\frac{\text { Number of favourable outcomes }}{\text { Total number of outcomes }}\)
= \(\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}\)

(iii) atleast two tails
Answer:
The outcomes favourable to event are {TTH, THT, HTT, TTT}
∴ P(atleast two tails) = \(\frac{\text { Number of favourable outcomes }}{\text { Total number of outcomes }}\)
= \(\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}\)

Question 27.
Find the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial x2 – 4x – 5 and verify the relationship between the zeroes and its coefficients.
Answer:
Let f(x) = x2 – 4x – 5
= x2 – 5x + x – 5
= x (x – 5) + 1(x – 5)
= (x + 1) (x – 5)
For zeroes of f(x),
f(x) = 0
⇒ (x + 1) (x – 5) = 0
⇒ x + 1 = 0 and x – 5 = 0
⇒ x = – 1 and x = 5
So, the zeroes of f(x) are – 1, 5

Now, sum of zeroes = – 1 + 5 = 4
= \(\frac{-(-4)}{1}\)
= \(-\frac{\text { Coefficient of } x}{\text { Coefficient of } x^2}\)

In the figure, quadrilateral ABCD is circumscribing a circle with centre O and AD ⊥ AB. If radius of incircle is 10 cm, then find the value of x.

CBSE Sample Papers for Class 10 Maths Basic Set 12 with Solutions 3

Answer:
Given, inradius of circle, r = 10 cm.
Draw a line perpendicular from centre to the tangent line AB.

CBSE Sample Papers for Class 10 Maths Basic Set 12 with Solutions 14

∠A = ∠OPA = ∠OSA = 90°
[∵ all lines in quadriateral ∆POS are perpendicular]
Hence, ∠SOP = 90°
Also, AP = AS
[∵ pair of tangents drawn from an outside point to a circle are equal in length]
Hence, OSAP is a square.
AP = OS = 10 cm
CR = CQ = 27 cm
Now, BQ = BC – CQ
= 38 – 27 = 11
Here, BP = BQ = 11 cm
∴ x = AB = AP + BP
= 10 + 11 = 21 cm

Or

If PQ = 28 cm, then find the perimeter of ∆PLM.
Answer:
We have, PQ = 28 cm

CBSE Sample Papers for Class 10 Maths Basic Set 12 with Solutions 15

By using the theorem, that the pair of tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal in lengths.
∴ PQ = PT, LQ = LN
and NM = MT
Consider, PQ = PT
⇒ PL + LQ = PM + MT
⇒ PL + LN= PM + NM [usingEq.(i)] …………(ii)
Now, perimeter of ∆PLM = PL + LM + PM
= PL + LN + NM + PM
= PL + LN + PL + LN [using Eq.(ii)]
= 2 (PL + LN)
= 2 × (PQ)
[∵ PL + LN = PL + LQ = PQ]
= 2 × 28 = 56 cm

Question 29.
Find the area of the sector of a circle with radius 7 cm and of angle 90°. Also, find the area of the corresponding major sector. [take π = 3.14]
Answer:
Area of the sector = \(\frac{\theta}{360^{\circ}}\) × πr²
= \(=\frac{90^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}}\) × 3.14 × 7 × 7
= 38.47 cm2

CBSE Sample Papers for Class 10 Maths Basic Set 12 with Solutions 16

∴ Area of the corresponding major sector = πr² – area of sector
= 3.14 × 7 × 7 – 387
= 153.86 – 38.47
= 115.39 cm2

Question 30.
At the foot of a mountain the elevation of its summit is 45°. After ascending 1000 m towards the mountain up a slope of 30° inclination, the elevation is found to be 60°. Find the height of the mountain.
Answer:
Let AD be the height of the mountain and B be the point on the foot of mountain.

CBSE Sample Papers for Class 10 Maths Basic Set 12 with Solutions 17

Or

Also, given BF = 1000 m,
∠CBF = 30° and ∠ABO = 45°
∴ ∠ABF=45° – 30° = 15°
In ∆AFE,
∠FAE = 180° – (90° + 60°) = 30°
In ∆ABD,
∠BAD = 180°- (90° + 45°)
⇒ ∠BAF + ∠FAE = 180° – 135° = 45°
⇒ ∠BAF = 45° – 30° = 150 [∵ ∠FAE = 30°]
∴ AF = FB = 1000 m
[since. FAB is an isosceles triangle]

Now, in ∆CBF,
sin 30° = \(\frac{C F}{F B}\)
⇒ \(\frac{1}{2}=\frac{C F}{1000}\)
⇒ CF = \(\frac{1000}{2}\) = 50 cm

Again, in ∆EAF,
sin 60°= \(\frac{A E}{F A}\)
⇒ \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{A E}{1000}\)
⇒ AE = \(\frac{1000 \sqrt{3}}{2}\) = 5oo√3 m

For height of mountain,
AD = AE + DE
= 500√3 + 500 [∵ DE = FC]
= 500 (√3 + 1)
= 500 × 2.73
= 1365 [√3 = 1.73]
Hence, the height of mountain is 1365 m.

The two palm trees are of equal heights and are standing opposite each other on either side of the river, which is 80 m wide. From a point 0 between them on the river the angles of elevation of the top of the trees are 60° and 30°, respectively. Find the height of the trees and the distances of the point 0 from the trees.
Answer:
Let AB and CD be the positions of palm trees having equal height
i.e. AB = CD = h
Let the width of the river be BD = 80 m. (given)

CBSE Sample Papers for Class 10 Maths Basic Set 12 with Solutions 19

Let BO = x
Then, BD – OD = x
⇒ OD = 80 – x
In ∆ABO,
tan 60° =h/x
√3 = h/x
h = √3x
and in ∆CDO,
tan 30° = h / (80 – x)
⇒ 1/√3 = h / (80 – x)
⇒ h = \(\frac{80-x}{\sqrt{3}}\)
From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
√3x = \(\frac{80-x}{\sqrt{3}}\)
⇒ 3x + x = 80
⇒ x = 20
On putting x = 20 in Eq. (i), we get
h = √3 × 20
= 1.73 × 20 = 346 m
∴ The height of the trees, h = 346 m
Also, BO = x = 20 m
Now, DO = 80 – x = 80 – 20 = 60 m
Hence height of the tree is 34.6 and distance of the point O from the trees are 20 m and 60 m.

Question 31.

Answer:
Given : ∆ABC and ∆PQR in which AD and PM are their medians respectively and \(\frac{A B}{P Q}=\frac{B C}{Q R}=\frac{A D}{P M}\)
To prove : ∆ABC ~ ∆PQR
Proof : We have, \(\frac{A B}{P Q}=\frac{B C}{Q R}=\frac{A D}{P M}\) [given]
⇒ \(\frac{A B}{P Q}=\frac{\frac{1}{2} B C}{\frac{1}{2} Q R}=\frac{A D}{P M}\)
[multpying numerator and denominator of middle term by \(\frac{1}{2}\)]
⇒ \(\frac{A B}{P Q}=\frac{B D}{Q M}=\frac{A D}{P M}\)
[∵medians AD and PM bisect the lines BC and OR, respectively, i.e. BD = \(\frac{1}{2}\) BC and QM = \(\frac{1}{2}\) QR]
⇒ ∆ADB ~ ∆PMQ [by SSS similarity criterion]
∴ ∠B = ∠Q ………….(i)
In ∠ABC and ∆PQR.
\(\frac{A B}{P Q}=\frac{B C}{Q R}\) [given]
and ∠B = ∠Q [from Eq. (i)]
∴ ∆ABC ~ ∆PQR
[by SAS similarity criterion]
Hence proved.

Question 34.
Rachel, an engineering student was asked to make a model shaped like a cylinder with two cones attached at its two ends by using a thin aluminium sheet. The diameter of the model is 3 cm and its length is 12 cm. If each cone has a height of 2 cm, then find the volume of air contained in the model that Rachel made. (Assume the outer and inner dimensions of the model to be nearly the same.)
Answer:
Given, model is a combination of a cylinder and two cones.
Clearly, volume of the air will be equal to the sum of the volumes of two cones and one cylinder.
We have, diameter of the model, BC = ED = 3cm
∴ Radius of cone = Radius of cylinder,
r = \(\frac{3}{2}\) = 1.5 cm
Length of cone, h1 = 2 cm
Total length of the mode’, AF = 12 cm

CBSE Sample Papers for Class 10 Maths Basic Set 12 with Solutions 24

∴ Length of the cylinder, OO’ = AF – (AO + O’F)
= 12 – (2 + 2)
= 8
= h2
Now, volume of the air inside the model = Volume of air inside (cone + cylinder + cone)
= \(\left(\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h_1+\pi r^2 h_2+\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h_1\right)\)
= \(\frac{1}{3}\) (h1 + 3h2 + h1)
= \(\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7}\) × 1.5 × 1.5 (2 + 3 × 8 + 2)
= \(\frac{22}{7} \times \frac{2.25}{3}\) × (2 + 24 + 2)
= \(\frac{22}{7}\) × 0.75 × 28
= 22 × 3
= 66 cm3

Two same conical hole have been made on both ends of a solid right circular cylinder. The height of the cylinder is 10 cm and the diameter of its base is 8 cm. If the diameter and depth of the hole are 6 cm and 4 cm respectively, then find the total surface area of remaining solid.
Answer:
For cylinder, diameter of base = 8 cm
∴ Radius of base (R) = \(\frac{\text { Diameter }}{2}=\frac{8}{2}\) = 4 cm
and height (H) = 10 cm
∴ Curved surface area of cylinder = 2πRH
= 2π × 4 × 10
= 80π cm2

CBSE Sample Papers for Class 10 Maths Basic Set 12 with Solutions 25

For cone, diameter of base = 6 cm
∴ Radius of base (r) = \(\frac{\text { Diameter }}{2}=\frac{6}{2}\) = 3 cm
Depth of conical hole, h = 4 cm
∴ Slant height, l = \(\sqrt{r^2+h^2}\)
= \(\sqrt{3^2+4^2\)
= \(\sqrt{9+16}\)
= \(\sqrt{25}\)
= 5 cm
CSA of cone = πrl
= π × 3 × 5 = 15π cm2
Area of remaining ends of cylinder = 2 (Area of base of cylinder – Area of base of cone)
= 2(πR2 – πr2)
= 2π [R2 – r2]
= 2π (42 – 32)
= 14π cm2
Total surface area of remaining solid shape = CSA of cylinder + CSA of both cones + Area of remaining ends of cylinder
= 80π + 2 × 15π +2 × 7π
= 80π + 30π + 14π
= 1247π cm2

CBSE Sample Papers for Class 10 Maths Basic Set 12 with Solutions 7

Answer:
Given distribution table is

Marks Number of Students
0 – 10 4
10 – 20 6
20 – 30 7(f0)
30 – 40 12(f1)
40 – 50 5(f2)
50 – 60 6

The highest frequency n the given distribution is 12,
whose corresponding class is 30 – 40
Thus, 30 – 40 is the required modal class.
Here, l = 30, f1 = 12, f0 = 7, f2 = 5 and h = 10
∴ Mode = l + \(\frac{f_1-f_0}{2 f_1-f_0-f_2}\) × h
= 30 + \(\frac{12-7}{2 \times 12-7-5}\) × 10
= 30 + \(\frac{50}{24-12}\)
= 30 + \(\frac{50}{12}\)
= 30 + 4.17 = 34.17
Hence, the mode of the given distribution is 34.17.

Based on the above information answer the following questions

(i) In each room the same number of participants are to be seated and all of them being in the same subject, hence find maximum number participants that can accommodated in each room.
Answer:
Given, number of students in each subject are
Hindi = 60,
English = 84
and Mathematics = 108
The prime factors of number of students in each subject are
60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 = 22 × 3 × 5
84 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 7 = 22 × 3 × 7
108 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 22× 33
The maximum number of participants that can accommodated in each room = HCF (60, 84, 108)
= Product of the smallest power of each common pnme factor involved in the numbers
= 22 × 3 = 12

(ii) What is the minimum number of rooms required during the event?
Answer:
The minimum number of rooms required during the event is
\(\frac{\text { Total number of participants }}{12}=\frac{252}{12}\) = 21

Question 38.
Amit is planning to buy a house and the layout is given below. The design and the measurement has been made such that areas of two bedrooms and kitchen together is 95 sq m.

CBSE Sample Papers for Class 10 Maths Basic Set 12 with Solutions 10

Based on the above information, answer the following questions:

(i) Form the pair of linear equations in two variables from this situation.
Answer:
From the given figure we see that area of two bedrooms = 2(5x) = 10x m2
Area of kitchen 5 × y = 5y m2
According to the question,
Area of the two bedrooms and area of kitchen = 95 m2
∴ 10x + 5y = 95
⇒ 2x + y = 19 [divide both sides by 5] ………….. (i)
Also, length of the home = 15 m
∴ x + 2 + y = 15
⇒ x + y = 13 …………..(ii)
Hence, the pair of linear equations is 2x + y = 19 and x + y = 13.

(ii) Find the length of the outer boundary of the layout.
Answer:
The length of the outer boundary of the layout = 2 (l + b)
= 2 (15 + 12) [∵ b = 5 + 2 + 5 = 12 m]
= 2 (27) = 54 m

(iii) Find the area of living room in the layout.
Answer:
On solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get x = 6 and y = 7
∴ Area of each bed room = 5 × x
= 5 × 6 = 30 m2
Area of living room = 15 × (5 + 2) – Area of Bedroom
= 15 × 7 – 5 × 6
= 105 – 30
= 75 m2

Or

Find the cost of laying tiles in kitchen at the rate of ₹ 50 per sq m.
Answer:
Since, area of kitchen = 5 × y = 5 × 7 = 35 m2
But, it is also given, the cost of laying tiles in kitchen at the rate of ₹ 50 per m2
∴ Total cost of laying tiles in the kitchen = 35 × 50 = ₹ 1750
