Let car I starts from A with speed x km/hr and car Il Starts from B with 
speed  y km/hr   (x>y) 
 
Case I- when cars are moving in the same direction. 
Distance covered by car I in 9 hours = 9x. 
Distance covered by car II in 9 hours = 9y 
Therefore 9 (x-y) = 180  
=> x-y= 20    ……………. (i) 
 
case II- when cars are moving in opposite directions. 
 
Distance covered by Car I in 1 hour = x 
Distance covered by Car II in 1 hour = y 
 
Therefore x + y=180    ………….. (ii) 
 Solving (i) and (ii) we get, x=100 km/hr, y=80 km/hr.

FAQs on Class 10 Mathematics (Standard): CBSE (Official) Marking Scheme with Solutions (2024-25) - Mathematics (Maths) Class 10

1. What are the key components of the Class 10 Mathematics (Standard) CBSE marking scheme?
Ans. The marking scheme for Class 10 Mathematics (Standard) typically includes various components such as the distribution of marks across different units, types of questions (like MCQs, short answer, and long answer questions), and the weightage given to each chapter. It is designed to assess students’ understanding of concepts, problem-solving skills, and application of mathematical principles.
2. How are the questions categorized in the CBSE Class 10 Mathematics exam?
Ans. Questions in the CBSE Class 10 Mathematics exam are generally categorized into different types: Very Short Answer Questions (1 mark), Short Answer Questions (2 marks), Long Answer Questions (3 marks), and Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) questions (4 or 5 marks). Each category assesses different levels of understanding and skills, from basic recall to higher-order analytical abilities.
3. What is the importance of the Class 10 Mathematics marking scheme for students?
Ans. The marking scheme is crucial for students as it provides clear guidelines on how marks are allocated for various types of questions. Understanding the scheme helps students prioritize their study efforts, focus on high-weightage topics, and develop effective exam strategies. It also aids in self-assessment and identifying areas that require more practice.
4. How can students effectively prepare for the Class 10 Mathematics exam based on the marking scheme?
Ans. Students can prepare effectively by reviewing the marking scheme to understand the distribution of marks and types of questions. They should practice previous years' question papers, focus on solving sample papers aligned with the marking scheme, and emphasize topics with higher weightage. Regular revision and seeking help in challenging areas will also enhance their preparedness.
5. What changes have been made in the recent marking schemes for Class 10 Mathematics exams?
Ans. Recent changes in the marking schemes for Class 10 Mathematics exams may include adjustments in the weightage of different units, the introduction of new types of questions to assess higher-order thinking skills, and modifications in the evaluation criteria to better reflect students' understanding and application of mathematical concepts. Keeping updated with the latest syllabus and guidelines from the CBSE is essential for students.
