    CBSE X Mathematics 2009 Solution (SET 2)

    CBSE X 2009 Mathematics


    Section A

    Question Number 1 to 10 carry 1 mark each.

    1. Find the [HCF × LCM] for the numbers 105 and 120.

    Solution:

    For two numbers a and b, HCF × LCM = a × b


    For the given numbers 105 and 120:
    HCF × LCM = 105 × 120
    HCF × LCM = 12600

    2. Find the number of solutions of the following pair of linear equations:


    x + 2y – 8 = 0
    2x + 4y = 16

    Solution:

    The given pair of linear equations is


    x + 2y – 8 = 0
    2x + 4y – 16 = 0

    On comparing with general equations


    a1 x b1 y c1 0
    a2 x b2 y c2 0
    we obtain
    a1 1 b1 2 1 c1 8 1
    , ,
    a2 2 b2 4 2 c2 16 2

    a1 b1 c1 1
    a2 b2 c2 2

    Hence, the given pair of linear equations has infinitely many solutions.

    CBSE X Mathematics 2009 Solution (SET 2)

    Solution:

    If three terms a, b, and c are in A.P., then we have b – a = c – b


    2b = a + c

    4. Two coins are tossed simultaneously. Find the probability of getting exactly one
    head.

    Solution:

    If two coins are tossed simultaneously, then the possible outcomes are
    S = {HT, TH, TT, HH}
    Thus, the total number of possible outcomes is 4.

    Out of all the four outcomes, {HT} and {TH} are cases of exactly one head.
    Favourable outcomes 2 1
    Required probability =
    Total possible outcomes 4 2

    5. In figure 1, ∆ABC is circumscribing a circle. Find the length of BC.


    CBSE X Mathematics 2009 Solution (SET 2)
    Solution:

    BR = BP [Tangents drawn to a circle from a point outside the


    circle are equal]
    However, BR = 3 cm
    BP = 3 cm … (1)

    AR = AQ [Tangents drawn to a circle from a point outside the


    circle are equal]
    However, AR = 4 cm
    AQ = 4 cm

    AQ + QC = AC
    QC = AC – AQ
    Using the values AQ = 4 cm and AC = 11 cm,
    QC = 11 cm – 4 cm
    QC = 7 cm

    CP = CQ [Tangents drawn to a circle from a point outside the


    circle are equal]
    CP = 7 cm … (2)

    BC = BP + CP
    On using equations (1) and (2), we obtain
    BC = 3 cm + 7 cm
    BC = 10 cm

    Thus, the length of BC is 10 cm.

    6. If the diameter of a semicircular protractor is 14 cm, then find its perimeter.

    Solution:

    Diameter = 14 cm
    Diameter 14 cm
    Radius = 7 cm
    2 2
    22
    Length of the semicircular part = πr (7) 22 cm
    7

    Total perimeter = Length of semicircular part + Diameter


    CBSE X Mathematics 2009 Solution (SET 2)
    = 22 cm + 14 cm
    = 36 cm

    Thus, the perimeter of the protractor is 36 cm.

    7. If 1 is a zero of the polynomial p(x) = ax2 – 3(a – 1) x – 1, then find the value of a.

    Solution:

    If 1 is a zero of polynomial p(x), then p(1) = 0.


    p(1) = a(1)2 – 3(a – 1) (1) – 1 = 0
    a – 3a + 3 – 1 = 0
    –2a = –2
    a=1

    Thus, the value of a is 1.

    8. In LMN, L = 50° and N = 60°. If ∆LMN ∆PQR, then find Q.

    Solution:

    L + M + N = 180° (Angle sum property)


    Substituting L = 50° and N = 60° in this equation:
    50 + M + 60° = 180°
    M = 70°

    It is given that LMN PQR.


    We know that corresponding angles in similar triangles are of equal measures.
    M = Q = 70°

    Thus, the measure of Q is 70°.

    9. If sec2θ (1 + sin θ) (1 – sin θ) = k, then find the value of k.

    Solution:

    sec2 (1 + sin )(1 – sin ) = k


    sec 2 (1 sin 2 ) k [(a b)(a b) a 2 b2 ]
    sec 2 (cos 2 ) k [1 sin 2 cos 2 ]
    1 1
    cos 2 k sec
    cos 2 cos
    1 k
    k 1

    Thus, the value of k is 1.

    10. Find the discriminant of the quadratic equation 3 3x 2 10 x 3 0

    Solution:

    For the quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0,


    Discriminant = D = b2 – 4ac
    Hence, for the given equation, D = (10) 2 4(3 3)( 3)
    = 100 – 36
    = 64

    Thus, the discriminant of the given equation is 64.
