Class 10 Mathematics: CBSE Sample Question Paper (2019-20) - 2 | CBSE Sample Papers For Class 10
AB2 = CA2 or,  AB = CA
∴ Triangle is isosceles.
25 + 25 = 50
Also, AB2 + CA2 = BC2
Class 10 Mathematics: CBSE Sample Question Paper (2019-20) - 2 | CBSE Sample Papers For Class 10
Since, Pythagoras theorem is verified, therefore triangle is a right angled triangle.

Q 25. The larger of two supplementary angles exceeds the smaller by 18°. Find the angles.    (2 Mark)
Ans
: 99° and 81° or Sumit is 450
The larger of two supplementary angles be x.
∴ Other angle = (180° - x)
According to given condition, we have
x - (180° - x ) = 18°
⇒ x - 180° + x - 18°
⇒ 2x = 198°
⇒ x = 99°
∴ 180° - x = 180° - 9 9 ° = 81°
Hence, the angles are 99° and 81°.

Or
Sumit is 3 times as old as his son. Five years later, he shall be two and a half times as old as his son. How old is Sumit at present ?
Solution: Let the present age of Sumit be x years and the present age of his son be y years.
Using the given information, we have
x = 3y ...(1)
Five years later, Sumit's age = (x + 5) years and his son’s age = (y + 5) years
Using the given information, we have
Class 10 Mathematics: CBSE Sample Question Paper (2019-20) - 2 | CBSE Sample Papers For Class 10             ...(2)
 Putting the value of x from (1) in (2), we get
2 x 3y - 5y = 15 ⇒ y — 15
From (1), we have
x — 3y — 3 x 15 — 45
Hence, the present age of father , sumit is 45 years.

Q 27. Prove that 2 + 5 √3 is an irrational number, given that √3 is an irrational number.    (3 Mark)
Ans: 
Suppose, 2 + 5 √3  is a rational number. Then there exists co-prime integers a and b such that
Class 10 Mathematics: CBSE Sample Question Paper (2019-20) - 2 | CBSE Sample Papers For Class 10
⇒ √3 is a rational number.    [∵ a and b are integers so that Class 10 Mathematics: CBSE Sample Question Paper (2019-20) - 2 | CBSE Sample Papers For Class 10 is a rational number]
This contradicts the given fact that  √3 is an irrational number. So, our supposition is wrong.
Hence, 2 + 5 √3  is a irrational number
Or
Using Euclid’s Algorithm, find the HCF of 2048 and 960.
Ans:
Given integers are 2048 and 960.
Clearly 2048 > 960.
Applying Euclid’s division algorithm, we get
2048 = 960 x 2 + 128
960 = 128 x 7 + 64
128 = 64 x 2 + 0
In the last equation, the remainder is zero and divisor in the last equation is 64.
Hence, HCF of 2048 and 960  = 64.

Q 28. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follows : Quotient and remainder on dividing x3 - 3x2 + x + 2 by a polynomial g(x) are (x - 2) and - 2x + 4 , respectively. Ahmed was asked to find the g(x) . He was little puzzled and was thinking how to proceed. His classmate Vxdya helped him by suggesting that he should use the Euclid's division algorithm to find the value of g(x). Find g (x).    (3 Mark)
Ans:

Let p(x) - x3- 3x2+ x +2,
q(x) = x - 2 and
r(x ) = - 2x + 4
By using division algorithm,
we have Dividends (Divisor x Quotient) + Remainder
⇒ p(x) = g(x) x q(x) + r(x)
On putting the values of p(x), q(x) and r(x), we get
Class 10 Mathematics: CBSE Sample Question Paper (2019-20) - 2 | CBSE Sample Papers For Class 10
Now, using long division method, divide
x3- 3x2+ 3x - 2 by x - 2 , we get
Class 10 Mathematics: CBSE Sample Question Paper (2019-20) - 2 | CBSE Sample Papers For Class 10
Thus, we get quotient = x2 - x +1
Hence, g (x ) = x2- x + 1

Q 29 . A motor boat whose speed in still water is 5 km/h, takes 1 hour more to go 12 km upstream than to return downstream to the same spot Find the speed of the stream.
Or 
A shopkeeper buys some books for Rs. 80. If he had bought 4 more books for the same amount, each book would have cost Rs. 1 less. Find the number of boobs he bought.    (3 Mark)
Ans: Let the speed of the stream of water be x km/h
Effective speed of the boat during downstream = (5 + x) km/h
Effective speed of the boat during upstream = (5 - x) km/h
Distance covered — 12 km
According to the statement of the question, we have
Class 10 Mathematics: CBSE Sample Question Paper (2019-20) - 2 | CBSE Sample Papers For Class 10
⇒ 24x =25x2
⇒ x2 + 24x - 25 =0
⇒ (x+ 25) (x-1)  = 0
x = -25, x = 1
Since the speed of the stream cannot be negative, therefore, negative value is not admissible
Thus, x = 1
Hence, the speed of thehstream of water is 1 km/h.
Or
Let the number of books bought be x
Class 10 Mathematics: CBSE Sample Question Paper (2019-20) - 2 | CBSE Sample Papers For Class 10
Now, when number of books bought is x + 4
then, cost of each book = Class 10 Mathematics: CBSE Sample Question Paper (2019-20) - 2 | CBSE Sample Papers For Class 10
According to statement
Class 10 Mathematics: CBSE Sample Question Paper (2019-20) - 2 | CBSE Sample Papers For Class 10
Class 10 Mathematics: CBSE Sample Question Paper (2019-20) - 2 | CBSE Sample Papers For Class 10
⇒ x = 16 [ ∵  x cannot be negative]
Hence, the number of books bought by the shopkeeper is 16.

Q 31. In figure, a square OABC is inscribed in a quadrant OPBQ. If OA =15 cm, find the area of the shaded region.   [Use π= 3.14]    (3 Mark)
Class 10 Mathematics: CBSE Sample Question Paper (2019-20) - 2 | CBSE Sample Papers For Class 10
Ans:

Here OABC is a square inscribed in a quadrant OPBQ.
As all sides of a square are equal.
OA = AB = BC = CO = 15 cm
By Pythagoras theorem in ΔOAB,

Class 10 Mathematics: CBSE Sample Question Paper (2019-20) - 2 | CBSE Sample Papers For Class 10
∴ Radius of the quadrant = OB = 15 √2 cm
Area of the shaded region - Area of a quadrant of a circle of radius OB (15√2 cm) - Area of a square of side OA = 15 cm

Class 10 Mathematics: CBSE Sample Question Paper (2019-20) - 2 | CBSE Sample Papers For Class 10
Also, BD = AC = 4 cm [Since diagonals of a square are equal]
Since the square is inscribed in a circle, therefore, the diagonal of the square is diameter of the circle.
Diameter of the circle = 4 cm
Radius of the circle = 2 cm
Class 10 Mathematics: CBSE Sample Question Paper (2019-20) - 2 | CBSE Sample Papers For Class 10 
From the figure, Area of the shaded region = Area of the circle of radius 2 cm - Area of a square of side AB — 2√2 cm

Ans:
Here, radius of each Sector at A, B and c = 7m
Class 10 Mathematics: CBSE Sample Question Paper (2019-20) - 2 | CBSE Sample Papers For Class 10
Now, area which can be grazed by three horses = Area of sectors with central angles
∠A, ∠B and ∠C, radius 7 m
Class 10 Mathematics: CBSE Sample Question Paper (2019-20) - 2 | CBSE Sample Papers For Class 10
Area of the plot
Class 10 Mathematics: CBSE Sample Question Paper (2019-20) - 2 | CBSE Sample Papers For Class 10
∴ Area of the plot which remains ungrazed = 336 - 77 = 259 m2

Q 34.  Find the HCF of 180,252 and 324 by Euclid's Division algorithm.    (3 Mark)
Ans:
since
324 = 252 x 1 + 72
252 = 72 x 3 + 36
72 = 36 x 2 + 0
∴ HCF(324,252) - 36
180 =36 x 5 + 0
∴ HCF(36f 180) =36
∴ HCF of 180,252 and 324 is 36.

12x - 30 - x2 - 5x
⇒ x2 - 5x - 12x + 30 - 0
⇒ x2 - 17x + 30 = 0
⇒ x2 - 15x - 2x + 30 — 0
⇒ x(x- 15) -2(x- 15) = 0
⇒ (x - 1 5) (x - 2 ) = 0
 x = 15 or x = 2
But x cannot be less than 6. So, B alone can finish the work in 15 days.

20(3 +1.73) = 20 X 4.73
Hence, the height of tower is 94.6 m.

Q 39. Which term o f the Arithmetic Progression - 7, - 12, - 1 7 . - 2 2 , . . . . will be - 82 ? Is - 100 any term of the A.P. ? Give reason for your answer.    (4 Mark)
Ans:  The given A.P. is - 7, - 12, - 17, - 22,....
First term , a = - 7. and common difference, d = - 12 - ( - 7 ) = - 12 + 7 = - 5
Let - 82 be its nth term.
Class 10 Mathematics: CBSE Sample Question Paper (2019-20) - 2 | CBSE Sample Papers For Class 10

Hence, - 82 is the 16th term of the given A.P.
Let - 100 be its nth term.
Class 10 Mathematics: CBSE Sample Question Paper (2019-20) - 2 | CBSE Sample Papers For Class 10
n=98/5 , which is a fraction.
Since number of terms cannot be in fraction.
Hence, - 100 is not any term of the given A.P.
or
How many terms of the Arithmetic Progression 45, 39, 33,.... must be taken so that their sum is 180 ? Explain the double answer.
Ans:  The given A.P. is 45, 39, 33,.....
First term, a = 4 5 and common difference,
d = 39 - 45 = 6
Let 180 be the sum of its n terms.

Class 10 Mathematics: CBSE Sample Question Paper (2019-20) - 2 | CBSE Sample Papers For Class 10
Sum of first 6 terms = Sum of first 10 terms = 180
Explanation of double answer
Here, common difference is negative.
7th term of the A.P. is given by
Class 10 Mathematics: CBSE Sample Question Paper (2019-20) - 2 | CBSE Sample Papers For Class 10
Sum of next 4 terms just after first 6 terms = a7 + a8 + a9 + a10 = 9 + 3 + (- 3) + (- 9) = 0.
Therefore, sum of first 6 terms is the same as the sum of first 10 terms.
