Ans. Given, 3a+ 6x + 1 = 0
a = 3,b = 6 andc = 1
Discriminant, D = b2 - 4ac
= (6)2 - 4 x 3 x 1
= 36 - 12 = 24 >0
Hence, the given equation has two distinct real roots.
Or
Discriminant = b2 - 4ac
= (t + 1)2 - 4(t + 4) x 1
= t2 - 2t - 15
For equal roots, discriminant = 0
∴ t2 - 2t - 15 = 0
⇒ t2 - 5t + 3t - 15 = 0
⇒ t = 5 or t = - 3
Hence, the value of t is 5, - 3.

Q.30. A part of monthly hostel charges in a college hostel are fixed and the remaining depends on the number of days one has taken food in the mess. When a student A takes food for 25 days, he has to pay Rs. 4,500, whereas a student B who takes food for 30 days, has to pay Rs. 5,200. Find the fixed charges per month and the cost of food per day.    (3 Mark)
Ans. Let the fixed hostel charges be Rs. x and the cost of food per day be Rs. y.
∴ Total charges for 25 days = Fixed hostel charges + Food charges for 25 days
= Rs. (x + 25y) = Rs. 4500 (Given)
∴  x+ 25y = 4500 ...(1)
Similarly, x + 30y = 5200    ...(2)
Subtracting (1) from (2), we get
5y = 70
⇒ y = 140
Putting the value of y from (3) in (1), we get     ...(3)
x + 25 x 140 = 4500
   x + 3500 = 4500
   x = 4500 - 3500 = 1000
∴ Fixed hostel charges = Rs. 11000 and cost of food per day = Rs. 140.

Q.37. Prove that the line segments joining the mid-points of the sides of a triangle form four triangles, each of which is similar to the original triangle.
Or
In ΔPQR, PS⊥ R and (PS)2 = QS x RS.
Prove that ΔPQR is a right angled triangle.    (4 Mark)
Ans. Let D, E and F are the mid-points of sides BC, CA and AB respectively of ΔABC.DE, EF and FD are joined.
To prove ΔAFE, ΔFBD, ΔEDC and ΔDEF are similar to ΔABC.
Proof In ΔABC, F and E are the mid-points of sides AB and AC, respectively
FE ║ BC
[segment joining the mid-points of any two sides of triangles is parallel to the third side]
Similarly, DF ║ CA and DE ║ BA
In ΔAFE and ΔABC,
∠A = ∠A [common angle]
Class 10 Mathematics: CBSE Sample Question Paper (2019-20) - 10 | CBSE Sample Papers For Class 10
∠AFE = ∠B [corresponding angles]
∴  ΔAFE ∼ ∠ABC ...(i)
[by AA similarity criterion]
Similarly, we can prove
ΔFBD ∼ ΔABC ...(ii)
and ΔEDC ∼ ΔABC      ...(iii).
Now, in ΔDEF and ΔABC,
∠D = ∠A
[opposite angles of parallelogram AFDE]
∠DEF = ∠B
[opposite angles of parallelogram BDEF]
∴  ΔDEF - ΔABC     ......(iv)
[by AA similarity criterion]
From Eqs. (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), we conclude that each of ΔAFE, ΔFBD, ΔFDC and ΔDEF is similar to ΔABC. Hence proved.
Or
In right angled ΔPSQ and ΔPSR,
(PQ)2 = (PS)2 + (QS)2 .......(i)
and (PR)2 = (PS)2 + (SR) ...(ii)
Class 10 Mathematics: CBSE Sample Question Paper (2019-20) - 10 | CBSE Sample Papers For Class 10
On adding Eqs, (i) and (ii), we get (PQ)2 + (PR)2 = 2 (PS)2 + (QS)2 + (SR)2

Hence, ΔPQR is a right angled triangle, right angled at P.

Q.38. A boy standing on a horizontal plane finds a bird flying at a distance of 100 m from him at an elevation of 30°. A girl standing on the roof of a 20 m high building, finds the elevation of the same bird to be 45°. The boy and the girl are on the opposite sides of the bird. Find the distance of the bird from the girl.    [Given √2 = 1.414]
Or
The angle of elevation of an aeroplane from a point A on the ground is 60°. After a flight of 30 seconds, the angle of elevation changes to 30°. If the plane is flying at a constant height of 3600√3 metres, find the speed of the aeroplane.    (4 Mark)

Ans. Let A be the position of the bird; C be the position of the boy standing on horizontal plane and E be the position of the girl standing on the roof of building of height DE = 20 m. Draw AB ⊥ on horizontal from A and draw EF ⊥ from E on AB. Then,

AC = 100 m, ∠ACB = 30° and ∠AEF = 45°
From right ΔACB, we have

Hence, distance of the bird from the girl = 42.42 m.
Or
Let P and Q be initial and final positions of the aeroplane. Let ABC be the horizontal line through point of observation A It is given that the angles of elevation of the plane in two positions P and Q from the point A are 60° and 30° respectively. Draw Pi? and QC perpendiculars from P and Q on the horizontal. The plane is flying at a constant height 3600√3m.

Q.39. The numerator of a fraction is 3 less than its denominator. If 2 is added to both the numerator and the denominator, then the sum of the new fraction and original fraction is 29/20. Find the original fraction.    (4 Mark)
Ans. Let the denominator be x, then numerators = x - 3
So, the fraction = x-3/x
By the given condition, new fraction Class 10 Mathematics: CBSE Sample Question Paper (2019-20) - 10 | CBSE Sample Papers For Class 10
= x-1/x+2
Class 10 Mathematics: CBSE Sample Question Paper (2019-20) - 10 | CBSE Sample Papers For Class 10
⇒ 20[(x-3) (x + 2) + x (x - 1)] - 29(x2 + 2x)
⇒  20(x2 - x - 6 + x2 - x) 29x2 + 58x 1
⇒ 11x2 - 98x - 120 = 0
⇒ 11x2 - 110x + 12x - 120 = 0
(11x + 12) (x - 10) = 0 or x = 10
The fraction is 7/10
