Class 10 - Mathematics

1. Let the marked price of the book be ` x. Sum of marks of section A, B, C

Total cost = ` 300 =
Total number of students
300
\ Number of books = (1750 + 2600 + 1750)%  6100 

If price of the book is ` (x – 5), then
5. Let r be the radius of sphere and cone and h be the
300
Number of books = height of the cone.
x −5
According to question, Q Volume of sphere = Volume of cone [Given]
300 300 300 x − 300 (x − 5) 4 3 1 2
− =5 ⇒ =5 ⇒ πr = πr h ⇒ 4r = h
x −5 x (x − 5) x 3 3
⇒ 1500 = 5(x2 – 5x) ⇒ x2 – 5x – 300 = 0 \ Height of cone = 4r
Also, diameter of sphere = 2r
⇒ x2 – 20x + 15x – 300 = 0
2r 1
⇒ x(x – 20) +15 (x – 20) = 0 \ Required ratio = = = 1: 2
4r 2
⇒ (x – 20) (x + 15) = 0 ⇒ x = 20 or x = –15

Since, x has to be a positive integer, so x = –15 is 6. Given, , k , are in A.P.

2 5k 5k 2
\ x = 20 ⇒ k– = −k ⇒ k+k– =
Hence, original marked price of the book is ` 20. 3 8 8 3

2. If each observation of a continuous frequency ⇒ = ⇒ k =

distribution is increased by a number, then median is
also increased by the same number. OR
We have, A.P. 9, 17, 25, ...
\ New median = 21 + 5 = 26
And Sn = 636
3. Let the radius of the circle be r cm. A Here, a = 9 and d = a2 – a1 = 17 – 9 = 8
Area of circle = 16p cm2 [Given] O n
We know that Sn = [2a + (n − 1)d]
⇒ pr2 = 16 p ⇒ r2 = 16 ⇒ r = 4 2
B n
\ AB = 2 OA = 2r = 8 cm ⇒ 636 = [2 × 9 + (n − 1)8]
OR 2
⇒ 1272 = n[18 + 8n – 8]
Given, ∠AOB = 100°
⇒ 1272 = n[10 + 8n]
Now, OA = OB ⇒ ∠OAB = ∠OBA ... (i)
⇒ 8n2 + 10n – 1272 = 0
In DAOB, ∠AOB + ∠OAB + ∠OBA = 180°
⇒ 4n2 + 5n – 636 = 0
⇒ 100° + ∠OAB + ∠OAB = 180° [Using (i)]
⇒ 4n2 + 53n – 48n – 636 = 0
⇒ 2∠OAB = 80° ⇒ ∠OAB = 40° ⇒ n(4n + 53) –12(4n + 53) = 0
Now, ∠OAT = 90° [∵ Tangent at any point of a circle is ⇒ (n – 12)(4n + 53) = 0
perpendicular to the radius through point of contact] 53
Thus, ∠BAT = ∠OAT − ∠OAB = 90° − 40° = 50° ⇒ n = 12 or − (Not possible)

4. Mean marks obtained by section A = 70% \ n = 12
\ Sum of marks of 25 students = 70% × 25 = 1750% 7. We have, 32x+3 – 730 (3x – 1) = 703
Mean marks obtained by section B = 65% ⇒ 27(3x)2 – 730(3x) + 730 – 703 = 0
\ Sum of marks of 40 students = 40 × 65% = 2600%
⇒ 27 t2 – 730 t + 27 = 0 [Putting 3x = t]
Mean marks obtained by section C = 50% 2
\ Sum of marks of 35 students = 35 × 50% = 1750% ⇒ 27 t – 729 t – t + 27 = 0
Mean marks of class X ⇒ 27t (t – 27) –1 (t – 27) = 0
⇒ (t – 27)(27 t – 1) = 0 ⇒ (t – 27) (27t – 1) = 0 9. Steps of construction :
