General Instructions:
Read the following instructions very carefully and strictly follow them:

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

Section - A

Q.1. How many two digits numbers are divisible by 3?
OR
Find the number of natural numbers between 102 and 998 which are divisible by 2 and 5 both.

Lowest two digit number divisible by 3 is 12. and highest two digit number divisible by 3 is 99.

Hence, the sequence start with 12 and ends with 99 and common difference is 3.
So, the A.P. will be 12, 15, 18, ----, 96, 99.
Here, a = 12, d = 3, l = 99
∴ l = a + (n – 1)d
∴ 99 = 12 + (n – 1)3
⇒ 99 – 12 = 3(n – 1)
⇒ n – 1 = (87/3)
⇒ n – 1 = 29
⇒ n = 30
Therefore, there are 30, two digit numbers which are divisible by 3.
OR
The number which ends with 0 is divisible by 2 and 5 both.
∴ Such numbers between 102 and 998 are:
110, 120, 130, .........., 990.
Last term, an = 990
a + (n + 1)d = 990
110 + (n – 1) × 10 = 990 (∵ a = first term = 110)
110 + 10n – 10 = 990
10n + 100 = 990
10n = 990 – 100
10n = 890
n = 890/10 = 89.


Q.2. Solve the following quadratic equation for x:
9x2 – 9(a + b)x + 2a2 + 5ab + 2b2 = 0

Given,

9x2 – 9(a + b)x + 2a2 + 5ab + 2b2 = 0
First, we solve,
2a2 + 5ab + 2b2 = 2a2 + 4ab + ab + 2b2
Here, = 2a[a + 2b] + b[a + 2b]
= (a + 2b) (2a + b)
Hence, the equation becomes
9x2 – 9(a + b)x + (a + 2b)(2a + b) = 0
⇒ 9x2 – 3[3a + 3b]x + (a + 2b)(2a + b) = 0
⇒ 9x2 – 3[(a + 2b) + (2a + b)]x + (a + 2b)(2a +b) = 0
⇒ 9x2 – 3(a + 2b)x – 3(2a + b)x +(a + 2b) (2a + b)= 0
⇒ 3x[3x – (a + 2b)] – (2a + b) [3x – (a + 2b)] = 0
⇒ [3x – (a + 2b)][3x – (2a + b)] = 0
⇒ 3x – (a + 2b) = 0 or 3x – (2a + b) = 0
⇒ x = ((a + 2b)/3) or x = ((2a + b)/3)
Hence, the roots = Class 10 Mathematics: CBSE Sample Question Paper- Term II (2021-22) - 2 | CBSE Sample Papers For Class 10


Q.3. Prove that the lengths of two tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal.

Given, AP and BP are tangents of circle having centre O.

Class 10 Mathematics: CBSE Sample Question Paper- Term II (2021-22) - 2 | CBSE Sample Papers For Class 10To Prove : AP = BP
Construction : Join OP, AO and BO
Proof : In DOAP and DOBP
OA = OB (Radius of circle)
OP = OP (Common side)
∠OAP = ∠OBP = 90° (Radius ⊥ tangent)
ΔOAP ≅ ΔOBP (RHS congruency rule)
AP = BP (By cpct) 1. 

Hence Proved.


Q.4. The volume of a right circular cylinder with its height equal to the radius, is 25(1/7) cm3

Find the height  of the  cylinder.  (Use π = 22/7)

Given,

Volume of a right circular  cylinder = 25(1/7) cm3
i.e., πr2h = 176/7
Since, r = h ...given
(22/7) x h2 x h = 176/7
⇒ h3 = 176/22 = 8 = 23.
Hence, height of the cylinder = 2 cm.


Q.5. Given below is the distribution of weekly pocket money received by students of a class. Calculate the pocket money that is received by most of the students.

Class 10 Mathematics: CBSE Sample Question Paper- Term II (2021-22) - 2 | CBSE Sample Papers For Class 10

Here, Modal Class = 80 – 100
l = 80, f1 = 18, f2 = 5, f0 = 12 and h = 20
∴ Mode = l + Class 10 Mathematics: CBSE Sample Question Paper- Term II (2021-22) - 2 | CBSE Sample Papers For Class 10
Class 10 Mathematics: CBSE Sample Question Paper- Term II (2021-22) - 2 | CBSE Sample Papers For Class 10
= 80 + (6/19) x 20
= 80 + 6.31 = 86.31 (approx.)
Hence, mode = 86.31.


Q.6. For what value(s) of 'a' quadratic equation 3ax2 – 6x + 1 = 0 has no real roots ?
OR
If one root of the equation (k – 1)x2 – 10x + 3 = 0 is the reciprocal of the other, then find the value of k.

Given that,

3ax2 – 6x + 1 = 0
For no real roots b2 – 4ac < 0
Discriminant D < 0 so,
(– 6)2 – 4(3a) (1) < 0
12a > 36
a > 3
Detailed Solution:
Given, 3ax2 – 6x + 1 = 0
On Comparing with AX2 + BX + C = 0,
we get A = 3a, B = – 6 and C = 1
Discriminant, D = B2 – 4AC
= (– 6)2 – 4 × 3a × 1
= 36 – 12a
For condition of 'no real roots',
B2 – 4AC < 0
⇒ 36 – 12a < 0
⇒ 12a > 36
⇒ a > 3.
OR
Let one root = α
and the other root = 1/α
Product of roots = α x (1/α) = 1
Given equation, (k – 1)x2 – 10x + 3 = 0
Comparing it with standard quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0
we get, a = (k – 1), b = – 10 & c = 3
Product of roots = c/a = 3/(k - 1)
1 = 3/(k - 1)
or, 3 = k – 1
or, k = 4.

Class 10 Mathematics: CBSE Sample Question Paper- Term II (2021-22) - 2 | CBSE Sample Papers For Class 10

n/2 = 250/2
= 125 ⇒ median class is 2 – 3,
l = 2, h = 1, cf = 120, f = 62
Median = Class 10 Mathematics: CBSE Sample Question Paper- Term II (2021-22) - 2 | CBSE Sample Papers For Class 10
= 2 + (5/62)
= 129/62 = 2(5/62) m or 2.08 m
50% of students jumped below 2(5/62) m and 50% above it.
Detailed Solution:
Class 10 Mathematics: CBSE Sample Question Paper- Term II (2021-22) - 2 | CBSE Sample Papers For Class 10
Take N/2 = 250/2 = 125
∴ Median class = 2 – 3
Lower limit of median class (l) = 2
Size of median class (h) = 1
Frequency corresponding to median class (f) = 62
Total number of observations
Frequency (N) = 250
Cumulative frequency preceding
Median class (c.f.) = 120
Median = Class 10 Mathematics: CBSE Sample Question Paper- Term II (2021-22) - 2 | CBSE Sample Papers For Class 10
Class 10 Mathematics: CBSE Sample Question Paper- Term II (2021-22) - 2 | CBSE Sample Papers For Class 10
= 2 + (5/62)
= 129/62
= 2(5/62) m or 2.08  m
∴ 50% of students jumped below 2.08 m and 50% of students jumped above 2.08 m.

Let ABC be a cone, which is mounted on a hemisphere. 

Class 10 Mathematics: CBSE Sample Question Paper- Term II (2021-22) - 2 | CBSE Sample Papers For Class 10

Given, OC = OD = r cm
Curved surface area of the hemispherical part = (1/2)4πr2
= 2pr2

Q.12. PQ is a tangent to a circle with centre O at point P. If ΔOPQ is an isosceles triangle, then find ∠OQP.
OR
The radii of two concentric circles are 13 cm and 8 cm. AB is a diameter of the bigger circle and BD is a tangent to the smaller circle touching it at D and intersecting the larger circle at P on producing. Find the length of AP.

Class 10 Mathematics: CBSE Sample Question Paper- Term II (2021-22) - 2 | CBSE Sample Papers For Class 10

In ΔOPQ,
∠P+∠Q+∠O =180°
(∠O = ∠Q, isosceles triangle)
2∠Q+∠P = 180°
2∠Q+90° = 180°
2∠Q = 90°
∠Q = 45°
Detailed Solution:
Since, ∠OPQ = 90° (Angle between tangent and radius)
Let ∠PQO be x°, then ∠QOP = x°
(Since OPQ is an isosceles triangle) (OP = OQ) (given)
Class 10 Mathematics: CBSE Sample Question Paper- Term II (2021-22) - 2 | CBSE Sample Papers For Class 10

In ΔOPQ,
∠OPQ + ∠PQO + ∠QOP = 180° (Sum of the angles of a triangle)
∴ 90° + x° + x° = 180°
⇒ 2x° = 180° – 90° = 90°
⇒ x = 90°/2 = 45°.
Hence, ∠OQP is 45°.
OR
Class 10 Mathematics: CBSE Sample Question Paper- Term II (2021-22) - 2 | CBSE Sample Papers For Class 10

∠APB = 90° (angle in semi-circle) and ∠ODB = 90° (radius is perpendicular to tangent)
ΔABP ~ ΔOBD

Q.13. ‘Skysails’ is that genre of engineering science that uses extensive utilization of wind energy to move a vessel in the sea water. The sky sails technology allows the towing kite to gain a height of anything between 100 m to 300 m. The sailing kite is made in such a way that it can be raised to its proper elevation and then brought back with the help of a telescopic mast that enables the kite to be raised properly and effectively.
Based on the following figure related to sky sailing answer the questions:

(i) In the given figure, if tan θ = cot (30° + θ), where Q and 30° + θ are acute angles, then the value of θ.
(ii) Find the value of tan 30°. cot 60°.

(i) Given, tan θ = cot(30° + θ)
= tan[90° – (30° + θ)]
= tan(90° – 30° – θ)
⇒ tan θ = tan(60° –  θ)
⇒ θ = 60° – θ
⇒ 2θ = 60°
⇒ θ = 30°.
(ii) tan 30° = 1/√3
cot 60° = 1/√3
Now, tan 30° × cot 60° = Class 10 Mathematics: CBSE Sample Question Paper- Term II (2021-22) - 2 | CBSE Sample Papers For Class 10
= 1/3.
