General Instructions:
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
1. If x = 2
3 and x =− 3 are roots of the quadratic equation ax2 + 7x + b = 0 , find the values of a and b .
O
2. If the nth term of a sequence is 3 - 2n. Find the sum of fifteen terms.
3. In the given figure, from a point P , two tangents PT and PS are drawn to a circle with centre O such that
+SPT = 120c, Prove that OP = 2PS .
4. From a solid cylinder whose height is 2.4 cm and diameter 1.4 cm, a conical cavity of the same height and same
diameter is hollowed out. Find the volume of the remaining solid to the nearest cm3. Use π = 227
5. Find the unknown entries a , b , c , d in the following distribution of heights of students in a class :
O
Consider the following distribution :
Section B
7. Solve for x :
x + 1 + x − 2 = 4 − 2x + 3 ; x ! 1, − 2, 2
x−1 x+2 x−2
9. A girl on a ship standing on a wooden platform, which is 50 m above water level, observes the angle of elevation
of the top of a hill as 30° and the angle of depression of the base of the hill as 60°. Calculate the distance of the
hill from the platform and the height of the hill.
10. Draw a circle of radius 3 cm. Take two points P and Q on one of its extended diameter each at a distance of 7 cm
from its centre. Draw tangents to the circle from these two points P and Q .
O
Draw a line segment AB of length 7 cm. Taking A as centre, draw a circle of radius 3 cm and taking B as centre,
draw another circle of radius 2 cm. Construct tangents to each circle from the centre of the other circle.
Section C
11. The angles of depression of the top and bottom of an 8 m tall building from top of a multi-storeyed building are
30º and 45º, respectively. Find the height of multi-storey building and distance between two buildings.
12. Two tangents PA and PB are drawn from an external point P to a circle with centre O , such that +APB = +x
and +AOB = y . Prove that opposite angles are supplementary.
O
Two tangents PA and PB are drawn from an external point P to a circle with centre O , such that +APB = +x
and +AOB = y . Prove that opposite angles are supplementary.
13. Atal Tunnel (also known as Rohtang Tunnel) is a highway tunnel built under the Rohtang Pass in the eastern
Pir Panjal range of the Himalayas on the Leh-Manali Highway in Himachal Pradesh. At a length of 9.02 km, it
is the longest tunnel above 10,000 feet (3,048 m) in the world and is named after former Prime Minister of India,
Atal Bihari Vajpayee. The tunnel reduces the travel time and overall distance between Manali and Keylong on
the way to Leh. Moreover, the tunnel bypasses most of the sites that were prone to road blockades, avalanches,
and traffic snarls.
Earth is excavated to make a railway tunnel. The tunnel is a cylinder of radius 7 m and length 450 m. A level
surface is laid inside the tunnel to carry the railway lines. Figure given below shows the circular cross - section
of the tunnel. The level surface is represented by AB , the centre of the circle is O and +AOB = 90c. The space
below AB is filled with rubble (debris from the demolition buildings).
14. Life insurance is a contract between an insurance policy holder and an insurer or assurer, where the insurer
promises to pay a designated beneficiary a sum of money upon the death of an insured person (often the policy
holder). Depending on the contract, other events such as terminal illness or critical illness can also trigger
payment. The policy holder typically pays a premium, either regularly or as one lump sum.
SBI life insurance agent found the following data for distribution of ages of 100 policy holders. Calculate the
median age, if policies are given only to persons having age 18 years onwards but less than 60 years.
