Time allowed: 2 hours
Maximum Marks: 40

General Instructions:

  • The question paper consists of 14 questions divided into 3 sections A, B, C.
  • Section A comprises of 6 questions of 2 marks each. Internal choice has been provided in two questions.
  • Section B comprises of 4 questions of 3 marks each. Internal choice has been provided in one questions.
  • Section C comprises of 4 questions of 4 marks each. An internal choice has been provided in one questions. It contains two case study based questions.

Section – A (12 marks)

Question 1.
If the roots of the quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 are sin α and cos α, then prove that a2 + 2ac = b2. (2)
Answer:
The roots of the equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 are sin α and cos α.
∴ Sum of roots i.e.
⇒ sin α + cos α = \(\frac{-b}{a}\) ….. (i)
and products of roots
sin α + cos α = \(\frac{c}{a}\) ….. (ii)
From equation (i)
(sin α + cos α)2 = \(\left(\frac{-b}{a}\right)^{2}\)
⇒ sin2 α + cos2 α + 2 sin α cos α
= \(\frac{b^{2}}{a^{2}}\)
⇒ 1 + 2 × \(\frac{c}{a}\) = \(\frac{b^{2}}{a^{2}}\) [from (ii)]
⇒ 1 + \(\frac{2c}{a}\) = \(\frac{b^{2}}{a^{2}}\)
⇒ a + 2c = \(\frac{b^{2}}{a}\)
⇒ a2 + 2ac = b2

Question 2.
If in a cone, its height is tripled and radius is doubled, then by how much times does its volume increases ?
OR
If the total surface area of a solid hemisphere is 462 cm2, then find its volume? [Take π = \(\frac{22}{7}\)] (2)
Answer:
Let, the height of cone be h and its radius be r units
Then, volume of cone = \(\frac{1}{3}\) ≠ r2h
If new height, H = 3h
New radius, R = 2r
Then,
New volume of cone = \(\frac{1}{3}\) ≠ R2h
= \(\frac{1}{3}\) ≠ (2r)2 × 3h
= \(\frac{1}{3}\)(12 ≠ r2h)
= 12(\(\frac{1}{3}\)πr2h)
= 12 volume of initial cone
OR
Total surface area of hemisphere = 462 cm2
∴ 3πr22 = 462
where r is the radius of the hemisphere
⇒ 3 × \(\frac{22}{7}\) × r2 = 462
r2 = \(\frac{462 \times 7}{3 \times 22}\) = 49
r = 7
(∵ Radius cannot be negative)
Volume of hemisphere = \(\frac{2}{3}\) ≠ r3
= \(\frac{2}{3}\) × \(\frac{22}{7}\) × 7 × 7 × 7
= \(\frac{2156}{3}\)
= 719 cm3 (approx)

Question 3.
Write the relationship connecting three measures of central tendencies. Hence, find the median of the given data if mode is 24.5 and mean is 29.75. (2)
Answer:
According to the question,
Mode = 24.5
And Mean = 29.75
The relationship connecting the three measures of central tendency is:
3 Median = Mode + 2 × Mean
Now, mode = 24.5 and mean = 29.75
∴ 3 Median = 24.5 + 2 × 29.75
⇒ = 24.5 + 59.50
= 84.0 84
∴ Median = \(\frac{84}{3}\) = 28

Caution:
The correct empirical formula is important for calculating the value of the median.

Question 4.
In the AP 31, 28, 25 ….. is 0 is its any term ?
OR
What is the sum of the odd numbers between 0 and 50? (2)
Answer:
Here, A.P. is 31, 28, 25…
Then a = 31,
d = 28 – 31 = – 3
Let, nth term be 0
∴ 0 = 31 + (n – 1)(- 3)
– 31 = – 3n + 3
⇒ – 3n = – 34
n = \(\frac{34}{3}\)
which is not possible,
Therefore, 0 is not a term of the given A.P.
OR
Odd numbers between 0 and 50 be 1, 3, 5, 7 …49
Here, a = 1,
d = 3 – 1 = 2
an = 49
We have, an = a + (n – 1)d
1 + (n – 1) × 2 = 49
⇒ 2 (n – 1) = 48
⇒ n – 1 = 24
⇒ n = 25
Then, S25 = \(\frac{n}{2}\)(a + l)
= \(\frac{n}{2}\)[a + a25]
= \(\frac{25}{2}\) (1 + 49)
= \(\frac{25}{2}\) × 50
= 25 × 25
= 625

Question 5.
From the following distribution, what is the median class (2)

Cost of living index No. of weeks
1400-1550 8
1550-1700 15
1700-1850 21
1850-2000 8

Answer:

Cost of living index No. of week(f) c.f.
1400-1550 8 8
1550-1700 15 23
1700-1850 21 44
1850-2000 8 52

Here, N = 52,
\(\frac{N}{2}\) = \(\frac{52}{2}\)
= 26
Hence, median class is 1700-1850.

Question 6.
In the given figure AB and CD are two common tangents to two touching circles. If DC = 4 cm, then calculate the length of AB. (2)
CBSE Sample Papers for Class 10 Maths Basic Term 2 Set 4 with solutions 1
Answer:
Here, AD and DC are tangents from point D.
∴ AD = DC ……(i)
(Since tangents from an external point are equal)
And DB and DC are also tangents from point D
∴ DB = DC ……. (ii)
On adding (i) and (ii), we get,
AD + BD = DC + DC
AB = 2DC
⇒ AB = 2 × 4
= 8 cm

Section – B (12 Marks)

Question 7.
What is the middle term of the sequence formed by all three digit numbers which leave a remainder 5 when divided by 7. Also, find the sum of all numbers on both sides of the middle term separately. (3)
Answer:
According to the condition, the sequence formed will be 103, 110, …….. 999
Since 999 = 103 + (n – 1) × 7
⇒ (n – 1) × 7 = 999 – 103
⇒ (n – 1) × 7 = 896
⇒ n – 1 = 128
⇒ n = 129
Therefore,

Question 8.
In Gokuldham society, a rectangular park is needed to be designed such that, its breadth is 3m less than its length. Its area is to be 4 sq. m more than the area of the park that has already been made in the shape of an isosceles triangle with its base as the breadth of the rectangular park and of the altitude 12m. What is the length and breadth of the park.
OR
Vikram wants to make a show piece, in shape of a right angled ‘triangle’. For doing so, he took three rods together in the shape of a right – angled triangle. In this the hypotenuse is to be 2 cm longer than the base and 4 cm longer than the altitude. What should be the lengths of the rods? (3)
Answer:
Let, the Length of the park be ‘x’ m
Then, breadth of the park be (x – 3)m
Now, area of triangular park
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 12 × (x – 3)
= 6(x – 3)
And, area of rectangular park
= 6(x – 3) + 4
= 6x – 18 + 4
= 6x – 14
A.T.Q.
6x – 14 = x(x – 3)
⇒ 6x – 14 = x2 – 3x
⇒ x2 – 3x – 6x + 14 = 0
⇒ x2 – 9x + 14 = 0
⇒ x2 – 7x – 2x + 14 = 0
⇒ x(x – 7) – 2(x – 7) = 0
⇒ x = 7, 2
x = 2 is rejected
∴ x = 7 cm
Hence, length of park is 7 cm, and breadth is 4 cm.
OR
Let, the hypotenuse of the triangle be x cm.
A.T.Q.
Base of triangle = (x – 2) cm
Altitude of triangle = (x – 4) cm
By Pythagoras theorem,
x2 = (x – 2)2 + (x – 4)2
⇒ x2 = x2 + 4 – 4x + x2 + 16 – 8x
⇒ x2 – 12x + 20 = 0
⇒ x2 – 10x – 2x + 20 = 0
⇒ x(x – 10) – 2(x – 10) = 0
⇒ (x – 2) (x – 10) = 0
⇒ x = 2, 10
Rejecting x = 2 we get, x = 10
Hypotenuse, x = 10 cm
Base = x – 2 = 10 – 2 = 8cm
Altitude = x – 4
= 10 – 4 = 6 cm.

Question 9.
In the adjoining figure, O is the centre of the circle. Then prove that ∠BAT = ∠ACB. (3)
CBSE Sample Papers for Class 10 Maths Basic Term 2 Set 4 with solutions 2
Answer:
Given: A circle with centre O. AC is its diameter.
AB and BC are two chords.
To prove: ∠BAT = ∠ACB

Proof:
∴ In ∆ABC,
∠ABC = 90° (Angle in a semicircle)
∴ ∠BAC = 90° – ∠ACB …… (i)
But ∠CAT = 90°
∴ ∠BAT = 90° – ∠CAB …… (ii)
From (i) and (ii)
∠BAT = 90° – (90° – ∠ACB)
∠BAT = ∠ACB
Hence proved.

CBSE Sample Papers for Class 10 Maths Basic Term 2 Set 4 with solutions 5
Answer:
Let, the radius of the hemispherical dome be r meters and the total height of the building be h meters.
CBSE Sample Papers for Class 10 Maths Basic Term 2 Set 4 with solutions 6
Since, the base diameter of the dome is equal to \(\frac{2}{3}\) of the total height, therefore
2r = \(\frac{2h}{3}\)
⇒ r = \(\frac{h}{3}\)m
Let, H metres be the height of the cylindrical portion.
Therefore, H = h – \(\frac{h}{3}\) = \(\frac{2h}{3}\)
Volume of the air inside the building = Volume of air inside the dome + Volume of air inside the cylinder

Question 1.
Solve the quadratic equation p2x2 + (p2 – q2) x – q2 = 0, using quadratic formula.
OR
If α and β are the roots of a quadratic equation and α + β = 4 and α3 + β3 = 47, then form a quadratic equation in terms of x, having roots as α and β. (2)
Answer:
Given, p2x2 + (p2 – q2) x – q2 = 0
On comparing it with standard equation We get
a = p2, b = p2 – q2, c = – q2
∴ D = b2 – 4ac
= (P2 – q2)2 – 4 × p2 × (- q2)
= p4 – q4 – 2p2q2 + 4p2q2
= p4 + q4 + 2 p2q2
= (p2 + q2)2 > 0
So, the equation has real roots,
CBSE Sample Papers for Class 10 Maths Basic Term 2 Set 2 with solutions 1
Hence, roots are \(\frac{q^{2}}{p^{2}}\) and – 1

Related Theory
This quadratic formula was given by Indian mathematician Sri Dharacharaya. Then for quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0, its roots are
\(\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}\)
OR
Here, α + β = 4 and
α3 + β3 = 44
⇒ (α + β)3 – 3 αβ(α + β) = 44
⇒ 43 – 3 αβ (4) = 44
⇒ – 12αβ = 44 – 64
⇒ αβ = \(\frac{20}{12}\) = \(\frac{5}{3}\)
∴ Quadratic equation is:
x2 – (α + β)x + αβ = 0
⇒ x2 – 4x + \(\frac{5}{3}\) = 0
⇒ 3x2 – 12x + 5 = 0, which is the required equation.

Related Theory:
If α and β are the roots of the quadratic equation, then quadratic equation can be formed as:
x2 – (α + β)x + αβ = 0

Question 2.
In two APs, 60, 62, 64…. and – 10, – 3, 4, 11, for what value of n are terms equal ? (2)
Answer:
1st A.P. is 60, 62, 64 …….
Here. a = 60,
d = 62 – 60 = 2
nth term of 1st A.P. = a + (n – 1 )d
= 60 + (n – 1)2
= 58 + 2n ……. (i)
Terms of 2nd A.P. is – 10, – 3, 4, 11 ……..
Here, a = – 10,
d = – 3 + 10 = 7
∴ nth term of 2nd A.P. = a + (n – l)d
= – 10 + (n – 1)7
= – 17 + 7n …… (ii)
From (i) and (ii), we get
58 + 2n = – 17 + 7n
⇒ – 5n = – 75
⇒ n = \(\frac{75}{5}\) = 15
∴ 15th term of both A.P.s are equal.

Caution:
Equate the nth term of both the A.P. to the value of n.

Question 3.

160-165 10 b
165-170 C 43
170-175 5 48
175-180 2 d

Answer:
From the table
12 + a = 25 ⇒ a = 25 – 12 = 13
25 + 10 = b ⇒ b = 35
b + c = 43
⇒ c = 43 – b
= 43 – 35 = 8
48 + 2 = d
⇒ d = 50

Question 4.
Evaluate the sum of all natural numbers less than 100 which are divisible by 6.
OR
Show that the sequence defined as an = 2n2 + 1 is not an A.P. (2)
Answer:
Natural numbers less than 100 and divisible by 6 are 6, 12, 18, ……….. 96,
a = 6,
d = 6,
and an = 96
∴ a + (n – 1)d = 96
6 + (n – 1)6 = 96
⇒ n – 1 = \(\frac{90}{6}\)
⇒ n – 1 = 15
⇒ n = 16 n.
∴ Sum = \(\frac{n}{2}\)[a + an]
= \(\frac{16}{2}\)[6 + 96]
= 8 × 102
= 816

Caution:
Use the appropriate formula, for calculating the sum, as number of terms in this A.P. is unknown.
OR
We have, an = 2n2 + 1
Replacing n by (n + 1) in an, we obtain
an + 1 = 2(n + 1)2 + 1
= 2n2 + 4n + 3
Now, an + 1 – an = (2n2 + 4n + 3) – (2n2 + 1)
= 4n + 2
Clearly, an + 1 – an is not independent of n and therefore not constant.
So, the given sequence is not an A.P.

Related Theory:
The common difference is the value between each successive number in an arithmetic sequence. Therefore, the formula for finding the common difference of an A.P. is d = an – an – 1, where an is the last term is the sequence and an – 1 is the previous

Total Σfi = k + 24 Σ xifi = 10 k + 360

Here, Mean = 14
Mean = \(\frac{\Sigma f_{i} x_{i}}{\Sigma f_{i}}\)
⇒ 14 = \(\frac{10 k+360}{k+24}\)
⇒ 14(k + 24 )= 10k + 360
⇒ 14k + 336 = 10k + 360
⇒ 14k – 10k = 360 – 336
⇒ 4k = 24
⇒ k = 6
Hence, the value of k is 6.

CBSE Sample Papers for Class 10 Maths Basic Term 2 Set 2 with solutions 6
Answer:
Here, circle with centre O has radius 4 cm and circle with centre O’ has radius 2 cm.
In ∆OAP and ∆OCP
AP = PC [Tangent to a circle from same point]
OP = OP
OA = OC [radii of a circle]
∴ ∆OAP ≅ ∆OPB
∵ ∠APO = ∠CPO [By c.p.c.t]
But ∠APC = 90° [Given]
∴ ∠APO = 45°
In right ∆OAP = \(\frac{\mathrm{AP}}{\mathrm{OP}}\) = cot 45°
∴ AP = OP = 2 cm
Similarly, PD = 1 cm,
AD = AP + PD

Find the volume of the air inside the dome. If white washing costs ₹ 2/m2, how much does it costs ? (4)
Answer:
CBSE Sample Papers for Class 10 Maths Basic Term 2 Set 2 with solutions 10

Here,
Volume of the cone, V = \(\frac{1}{3}\)πr2 h
Curved surface area of cone (C)
= πrl
= πr\(\sqrt{h^{2}+r^{2}}\)
C2 = π2r2 (h2 + r2) …(i)
So, 3πVh3 + 9V2
= 3π(\(\frac{1}{3}\)πr2h)h3 + 9(\(\frac{1}{9}\)π2r4h2)
= π2r2h4 + π2r4h2
= π2r2h2 (h2 + r2)
or \(\frac{3 \pi \mathrm{Vh}^{3}+9 \mathrm{~V}^{2}}{h^{2}}\) = π2r2 (h2 + r2) = C2 [from (i)]

OR
Here, dome of the monument is hemispherical in shape, which has to be whitewashed by the students.
Now, total area to be whitewashed = 249.48 m2
cost of white washing = ₹ 2/m2
∴ Total cost of white washing
= ₹ 2 × 249.48
= ₹ 498.96
Also, 2πr2 = 249.48
r2 = \(\frac{249.48}{2 \times 22}\) × 7
r = √158.76 = 12.6 m
Volume of air inside the dome = Volume of hemisphere
= \(\frac{2}{3}\) ≠ r3
= \(\frac{2}{3}\) × \(\frac{22}{7}\) × 12.6 × 12.6 × 12.6

CBSE Sample Papers for Class 10 Maths Basic Term 2 Set 2 with solutions 12
As shown in the above figure, there are two squares. These of them are the spaces needed to be given to the parking area of cars near a mall in the market. The first square i.e. ABCD has side ‘a’ and another square PQRS has side ‘P’
The sum of the areas of two squares is 640 m2 and difference in their perimeter be 64 m.
Answer the following questions:
(A) What is length of the side of small parking area? (2)
Answer:
8 m
Explanation: A.T.Q. the side of square ABCD is a cm.
∴ Its area = a2
Similarly, for second square, PQRS, whose side is p cm, area = p2
∴ a2 + p2 = 640
or p2 = 640 – a2 …… (i)
And 4p – 4a = 64
⇒ p – a = 16 …(ii)
(Using (i) and (ii), we get
⇒ (16 + a)2 = 164 – a2
⇒ 256 + a2 + 32a = 640 – a2
⇒ 2a2+ 32a – 384 = 0
⇒ a2 + 16a – 192 = 0
⇒ a2 + 24a – 8a – 192 =0
⇒ a(a + 24) – 8(a + 24) = 0
⇒ a = 8, – 24
∴ a = 8 m

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

(B) What is the total area available for the parking lot in the form of big square? (2)
Answer:
Since, p – a =16
p = 16 + a
= 16 + 8 [from (i)]
= 24 m
Area of square PQRS = p × p
= 24 × 24 = 574 m2
