 Solution
Section A
1.
(d) 120
Explanation: Least positive integer divisible by 20 and 24 is
LCM of (20, 24).
20 = 22 × 5
24 = 23 × 3
∴ LCM (20, 24) = 23 × 3 × 5 = 120
Thus 120 is divisible by 20 and 24.
2.
(c) a < 0, b < 0 and c > 0
Explanation: Clearly, f (x) = ax 2
+ bx + c represent a parabola opening downwards.
Clearly a < 0
Let, y = ax2 + bx + c cuts y-axis at P which lies on OY.
Putting x = 0 in y = ax + bx + c , we get y = c. So the coordinates of P are (0, c).
2

Clearly, P lies on OY. Therefore c > 0

−b −D
The vertex ( 2a
,
4a
) of the parabola is in the second quadrant.
Therefore, −b

2a
< 0 ,b<0
Therefore a < 0, b < 0 and c > 0.
3.
(d) 0
Explanation: The number of solutions of two linear equations representing parallel lines is 0 because two linear equations
representing parallel lines has no solution and they are inconsistent.
4.
(c) pq
Explanation: Let the roots of given quadratic equation be α and β .
On comparing equation x2 - (p - q) x + k = 0
with ax2 + bx + c = 0, we have
a = 1, b = -(p + q), c = k
We know that
−b
⇒ α + β =
a

Put the value a and b

p+q
⇒ α + β =
1

⇒ α + β = p + q ...(i)
Given α = p
Put the value of α in equation (i),
⇒ p + β = p + q

⇒ β =q
But we know that
c
α ⋅ β =
a

Put the values

k
p.q. =
1

Then, k = pq.

9. (a) 30o
Explanation: ∠ OAB = 60o (given)
∠ OAB = ∠ OBA (∵ OA = OB = r)
∴ ∠OBA = 60o
Now, in △OAB
∠ AOB = 180o- 60o - 60o
∠ AOB = 60o
Now, In △AOP
∠ OPA + ∠ OAP + ∠ AOP = 180o (angle sum property of △)
∠ OPA + 90o + 60o = 180o
∠ OPA = 180o - 150o
∠ OPA = 30o

Here, 2q
is a rational number
–
So, √3 is also a rational number.
–
But it is given that √3 is irrational number.
⇒ our assumption was wrong
–
⇒ 5 + 2√3 is an irrational number.

22. We have, DE || BC

Therefore, by BPT, AD

Adding DB on both sides

⇒ AD + DB = AE + DB
⇒ AD + DB = AE + EC [∴ BD = CE]

::
∴ a2 - a1 = 12 - 6 = 6
a3 - a2 = 18 - 12 = 6
a4 - a3 = 24 - 18 = 6
a2 − a1 = a3 − a2 = a4 − a3 = 6 ( =6 in each case)

x(x+5) 10

2
⇒ 50 = x + 5x

2

2
⇒ x + 10x − 5x − 50 = 0

⇒ x(x + 10) − 5(x + 10) = 0

x = 5 ,- 10 rejected
The numbers = 5 and 10.

Let the original average speed of the train be x km/hr.
63
Time taken to cover 63 km = hours x

By the question,we have,

⇒ + = 1
x x+6

⇒ = 1
x2 +6x

⇒ 45x + 126 = x2 + 6x
⇒ x2 - 39x - 126 = 0
⇒ x2 - 42x + 3x - 126 = 0
⇒ x(x - 42) + 3(x - 42) = 0

⇒ (x - 42)(x + 3) = 0

⇒ x - 42 = 0 or x + 3 = 0

⇒ x = 42 or x = -3

Since the speed cannot be negative, x ≠ −3 .

Thus, the original average speed of the train is 42 km/hr.

V = 25.14 cm3
The total volume of the vessel is equal to the volume of the spherical shell and the volume of its cylindrical neck.
3054.85 + 25.14 = 3, 080 cm3
The total volume of the vessel is 3,080 cm3.
As we know,
1 L = 1000 cm3

1000

Thus, the amount of water (in litres) it can hold is 3.080 L.

Section E
36. i. Since, each poor child pays ₹ x
and each rich child pays ₹ y
∴ In batch I, 20 poor and 5 rich children pays ₹ 9000 can be represented as 20x + 5y = 9000

and in batch II, 5 poor and 25 rich children pays ₹ 26,000 can be represented as 5x + 25y = 26,000
ii. As we have 20x + 5y = 9,000 ...(i)
and 5x + 25y = 26,000
or x + 5y = 5,200 ...(ii)
On subtracting (ii) from (i), we get
19x = 3,800
⇒ x = 200

∴ Monthly fee paid by a poor child = ₹ 200

iii. As we have,
20x + 5y = 9000 ...(i)
and 5x + 25y = 26000
x + 5y = 5200 ...(ii)
On subtracting equation (ii) from (i), we have
19x = 3800
3800
x= 19

= 200
Put the value of x in equation (ii), we get
200 + 5y = 5200
5y = 5200 - 200
y = 1000
∴ y - x = 1000 - 200

Page 17 of 18

Hence, difference in the monthly fee paid by a poor child and a rich child is ₹ 800.
OR
Total monthly fee = 10x + 20y

= 2,000 + 20,000

∴ AF = AH + HF

h = AH + h

AH = h - h

AH = 3h

∵ centroid divide the median in 2 : 1

ii. Since PQRS is a rhombus, therefore, PQ = QR = RS = PS.

∴ PQ = √(−2 − 2) + (1 − 4) = √16 + 9 = √25 = 5 units

Thus, length of each side of PQRS is 5 units.

iii. Length of route PQRS = 4 PQ

Length of CD = 4 + 2 = 6 units and length of AD = 6 + 2 = 8 units
