4 a Given (x3+3x) / (3x2+1) = 341 / 91.
Apply the componendo and dividendo
⇒ (x3+3x) + (3x2+1) / (x3+3x) - (3x2+1) = (341 + 91) / (341 - 91)

⇒ (x3 + 3x2 + 3x + 1) / (x3- 3x2 +3x -1) = (341 + 91) / (341 - 91)
⇒ (x + 1)3 / (x - 1)3 = 432 / 250
⇒ (x + 1)3 / (x - 1)3 = 216 / 125
⇒ (x + 1)3 / (x - 1)3 = 63 / 53
⇒ (x + 1) / (x - 1) = 6 / 5
Again apply the componendo and dividendo
⇒ (x + 1) + (x - 1) /(x + 1) - (x - 1) = (6 + 5) / (6 - 5)
⇒ 2x / 2 = 11 / 1

Section A
1 a Let A sells to dealer B at Rs. x lower price.
om
According to the question,
Net Tax paid by dealer B is
⇒ Output tax - Input Tax = Rs. 324
⇒ 18% of 9000 - 18% of (9000 - x) = 324
.c 1
rz
⇒ 1620 - 1620 + 18% of x = 324
pe
⇒ 18% of x = 324

Hence, selling price of B = 9000 - 1800 = Rs. 7200

The amount (inclusive of GST) paid by dealer B

ICSE Class 10 Maths Sample Paper 1

Price of article including GST = 3200 + 384 = Rs 3584 1

c LHS = (cosec x - sin x)(sec x - cos x)(tan x + cot x)

= (1 / sin x - sin x)(1 / cos x - cos x)(tan x + 1 / tan x) 1

= (1 - sin²x)(1 - cos²x)(tan²x + 1) / (sin x * cos x * tan x)

= sin²x / sin²x, as sec²x = 1 / cos²x

Maturity Value = 600 x 20 + 1050 = Rs 13050 1

A=2πr²+2πrh=2πr(r+h) --- (i) 1

2πr(r+h)=πr²h, divide both sides by πr get

c 11x-4 < 15x+4

And 15x+4 ≤ 13x+4

3 a let a be the 1st term and d be the common difference

therefore AP is a , a+d , a+2d ,a+3d ......

Let the coordinates of M and N be (a,0) and (0,b)

So points are M(5,0) and N(0,5)

4 a Given (x​3​+3x) / (3x​2​+1) = 341 / 91.

Apply the componendo and dividendo

⇒ (x​3​+3x) + (3x​2​+1) / (x​3​+3x) - (3x​2​+1) = (341 + 91) / (341 - 91)

⇒ (x + 1)​3​ / (x - 1)​3​ = 432 / 250

⇒ (x + 1)​3​ / (x - 1)​3​ = 216 / 125

⇒ (x + 1)​3​ / (x - 1)​3​ = 6​3​ / 5​3

b 2 is the root of given equation x2 + bx + 12 = 0

Now, d = b2 – 4ac = 0 of second equation is

Hence value of q is 16.

5 a It is given that a card is drawn from a well-shuffled pack of 52 cards.

(i) No of red cards = 26

So Prob (red cards ) = 26 / 52 = ½ 1

(ii) No of face cards = 12

So Prob (face cards ) = 12 / 52 = 3/13 1

Prob (getting an ace) = 4/52

(i) Total amount of dividend paid by the company with Dividend% = 5%

c A man on a cliff observes a boat, at an angle of depression 30o, which is 4

4 a Given (x3+3x) / (3x2+1) = 341 / 91.

⇒ (x3+3x) + (3x2+1) / (x3+3x) - (3x2+1) = (341 + 91) / (341 - 91)

⇒ (x + 1)3 / (x - 1)3 = 432 / 250

⇒ (x + 1)3 / (x - 1)3 = 216 / 125

⇒ (x + 1)3 / (x - 1)3 = 63 / 53

(i) Let the new radius be r1

20-40 f1 30 30f1

60-80 f2 70 70f2

Total 30+f1+f2 2060+30f1+70

Median = 40th term.

b If (x + 1) and (x - 2) are factors of x3 + (a + 1)x2 - (b - 2)x - 6, find the values 3

Use componendo and dividendo to prove that b2 = .
