SECTION B
Section B consists of 5 questions of 2 marks each
21. Prove that: [2]

1
(cosec A – sin A) (sec A – cos A) =
tan 𝐴+𝑐𝑜𝑡𝐴
Or
If cos θ + sin θ = √2 cos θ, then prove that cos θ – sin θ = √2 sin θ.

Or

Let cos θ – sin θ = x …(i)

Given, cos θ + sin θ = √2 cos θ …….(ii)
On squaring Eqs. (i) and (ii) and adding, we get
cos²θ + sin²θ – 2 cos0 ⋅ sin0 + cos²θ + sin²θ + 2 cosθ ⋅ sinθ = x² + 2 cos²θ
⇒ 1 + 1 = x² + 2 cos²θ
⇒ 2 = x² + 2(1 – sin²θ)
⇒ 2 = x² + 2 – 2 sin²θ
⇒ x² = 2 sin²θ
⇒ x = √2 sin θ
Hence, cos θ – sin θ = √2 sin θ

22. A vertical pole of a length 6 m casts a shadow 4m long on the ground and at the
same time a tower casts a shadow 28 m long. Find the height of the tower.
23. Find the value of x if
3
2cosec2 30° + x sin2 60° – 4 tan2 30° = 10
Solution:
2cosec2 30° + x sin2 60° – 3/4 tan2 30° = 10
⇒ 2(2)2 + x (3√2)2 – 34(13√)2 = 10
⇒ 2(4) + x(34) – 34(13) = 10
⇒ 8 + x(34) – 14 = 10
⇒ 32 + x(3) – 1 = 40
⇒ 3x = 9
⇒x=3
24. 5 yr hence, the age of Shivangi is 3 times the age of Anshika while 5 yr earlier the age
of Shivangi was 7 times the age of Anshika. Find the present age of Shivangi.

Answer:
Let the present age of Shivangi = x
and present age of Anshika = y
After 5 yr, age of Shivangi = (x + 5)
After 5 yr, age of Anshika = (y + 5)
According to the question
x + 5 = 3(y + 5)
⇒ x + 5 = 3y + 15
⇒ x – 3y = 10
⇒ x = 10 + 3y …….. (i)
and 5 yr earlier
Age of Shivangi = x – 5
and age of Anshika = y – 5
According to the question,
x – 5 = 7(y – 5)
⇒ x – 7y = – 30 …… (ii)
Subtracting Eq. (i) from Eq. (ii), we get
– 4y = – 40
⇒ y = 10
On substituting the value of y in Eq. (i), we get
10 + 3 × 10 = 40
‘Hence, present age of Shivangi = 40 yr.

25. In the figure, quadrilateral ABCD is circumscribing a circle with centre O and AD ⊥ AB.
If radius of incirclte is 10 cm, then find the value of x.
 Answer:
Given, in radius of circle, r = 10 cm.
Draw a line perpendicular from centre to the tangent
line AB.
∠A = ∠OPA = ∠OSA = 90°
[∵ all lines in quadrilateral APOS are perpendicular]
∠SOP = 90°

Also, AP = AS
[∵ pair of tangents drawn from outside point of a circle
are equal in lengths]
Hence, OSAP is i i square.
AP = OS = 10 cm
CR = CQ = 27 cm
Now, BQ = BC – CQ
= 38 – 27 = 11 cm
Here, BP = BQ = 11 cm
∴ x = AB = AP + BP = 10 + 11 = 21 cm

SECTION C

Section C consists of 6 questions of 3 marks each.

26. Prove that opposite sides of a quadrilateral circumscribing a circle subtend

supplementary angles at the centre of the circle.

the number of lead shots dropped in the vessel.

Solution:
29. ABCD is a trapezium in which AB || DC and its diagonals intersect each other at the

31. Prove the following identity:

 SECTION D

Section D consists of 4 questions of 5 marks each.

32. A right cylindrical container of radius 6cm and height 15cm is full of icecream, which has to be
distributed to 10 children in equal cones having hemispherical shape on the top. If the height of the
conicalportion is four times its base radius, find the radius of the icecream cone.
Height of the cylinder, H =15 cm
Radius of the cylinder, R =6 cm

Volume of the ice cream in the cylinder =πR2H

=π×62×15
=540 π cm3

It is given that the ice cream is distributed in 10 cones such that the cones have hemispherical shape at the
top.

It is also given, the height of a cone is 4 times the radius h=4r

Volume of ice cream in 1 cone

= Volume of the cone + Volume of the hemisphere
=13×π×r2h+23×π×r3
=13×π×r2(4r)+23×π×r3
=πr3(43+23)
=2πr3

Volume of ice cream in 10 cones

=10×Volume of ice cream in 1 cone
=10×2πr3
=20πr3

But as it is given, Volume of ice cream in 10 cones = Volume of ice cream in the cylinder
⇒ 20πr3=540π
⇒ r3=540π20π=27
⇒ r=3 cm
The radius of the ice cream cone is 3 cm.

OR
A solid toy is in the form of a hemisphere surmounted by a right circular cone. Height of the cone is 4
cm and the diameter of the base is 8 cm. If a right circular cylinder circumscribes the solid. Find how much
more space it will cover?

We have, height of cone, OA = 4 cm

Diameter of the base of the cone, d =8 cm
∴ Radius of the base of cone, r = d2 = 82 = 4 cm
Here, AP = AO + OP = 4 + 4 = 8 cm
∴ Required space
= Volume of cylinder – (Volume of cone + Volume of hemisphere

33. 100 surnames were randomly picked up from a local telephone directory and the frequency
distribution of the number of letters in the English alphabet in the surnames was obtained as follows:
[5]

Determine the median number of letters in the surnames. Find the mean number of letters in the surnames.
Also, find the modal size of the surnames.

Median=l+(n2−cff)×h=7+(50−3640)×3

=7+2120=7+1.05=8.05

Hence, the median number of letters in the surnames is 8.05

x=a+(∑fiui∑fi)×h=8.5+(−6100)×3

=8.5−0.18=8.32

Hence, the mean number of letters in the surnames is 8.32

l=7,h=3,f1=40,f0=30,f2=16

∴Mode=l+(f1−f02f1−f0−f2)×h=7+(40−302×40−30−16)×3

=7+3034=7+0.88=7.88

Hence, the modal size of the surnames is 7.88

34. From a point P on the ground, the angle of elevation of the top of a 10m tall building is 300. A
flag is hoisted at the top of the building and the angle of elevation of the top of the flagstaff from P is 450.
Find the length of the flagstaff and the distance of the building from the point P. ( Take √3= 1.732 ) [5]

In a triangle BPC,

Again in a triangle ACP,

Hence the length is m and distance is m.

35. In the figure, altitudes AD and CE of ΔABC intersect each other at the point P. Show that:
[5]

 SECTION E

Case study based questions are compulsory

36. Case Study – 1

Mathematics teacher of a school took her 10th standard students to show Red Fort. It was a
part of their Educational trip. The teacher had interest in history as well. She narrated the facts
of Red fort to students.
Then the teacher said in this monument one can find combination of solid figures. There are 2
pillars which are cylindrical in shape. Also 2 domes at the corners which are hemispherical 7
smaller domes at the centre.
Flag hoisting ceremony on Independence Day takes place near these domes.
 (i) How much cloth material will be required to cover 2 big domes each of radius 2.5 metres?
(Take π = 22 / 7)
(ii) Find the lateral surface area of two pillars if height of the pillar is 7m and radius of the
base is 1.4 m is.
OR
The ratio of sum of volumes of two hemispheres of radius 1 cm each to the volume of a
sphere of radius 2 cm?
(iii) Find the volume of a hemisphere if the radius of the base is 3.5 m.
(ii) Solution:
(i) Radius of a dome, r = 2.5 m
The dome is hemispherical in shape.
Then, Cloth material required = 2 × Surface area of hemisphere
= 2 × 2πr2
= 4 × 22/7 × 2.5 × 2.5
= 78.57 m2
(iii) (ii) Height of each pillar, h = 7 m
Radius of base, r = 1.4 m
Lateral surface area or curved surface area of 2 pillars = 2 × 2πrh
= 4 × 22/7 × 1.4 × 7
= 123.2 m3
OR
Volume of 2 hemispheres of radius 1 cm
= 2 × 2/3πr3 = 4/3π(1)3
= 43π cm3
Volume of a sphere of radius 2 cm = 43π(2)3 = 323π cm3
Then, Required ratio = 4/3π/32/3π=18 = 1 : 8

(iii) Radius of hemisphere, r = 3.5 m

Then, volume of a hemisphere,
V = 23πr3 = 23 × 227 × (3.5)3
= 89.83 m3

37.Case Study – 2
A cyclist is climbing through a 20 m long rope which is highly stretched and tied from the top of a
vertical pole to the ground as shown below:
Based on the above information, answer the following questions
(i) Find the height of the pole, if angle made by rope with the ground level is 600. [1]
(ii) If the angle made by the rope with the ground level is 45°, then find the height of the pole. [2]
Or

of the pole. [2]
(iii) If the angle made by the rope with the ground level is 600, then calculate the distance between artist and
pole at ground level. [1]

38.Case Study – 3

The school auditorium was to be constructed to accommodate at least 1500 people. The chairs are
to be placed in concentric circular arrangement in such a way that the each succeeding circular row
has 10 seats more than the previous one.
(i) If the first circular row has 30 seats, how many seats will be there in the 10 th row?
Solution:
Since each row is increasing by 10 seats, so it is an A.P. with first term a = 30, and common
difference d = 10.
So, number of seats in 10th row = = a10
= a + 9d
= 30 + 9 × 10 = 120
(ii) For 1500 seats in the auditorium, how many rows need to be there?
Solution:
Sn = n/2[2a + (n – 1)d]
1500 = n2[2 × 30 + (n – 1)(10)]
3000 = 50n + 10n2
n2 + 5n – 300 = 0
n2 + 20n – 15n – 300 =0
(n + 20)(n – 15) = 0
Rejecting the negative value, n = 15
OR

If 1500 seats are to be arranged in the auditorium, how many seats are still left to be put after
10th row?

Solution:
No. of seats already put up to the 10th row = S10
S10 = 102{2×30 + (10 – 1)10)}
= 5(60 + 90) = 750
So, the number of seats still required to be put are 1500 – 750 = 750
(iii) If there were 17 rows in the auditorium, how many seats will be there in the middle row?
Solution:
Given, no. of rows = 17
Then the middle row is the 9th row.
a9 = a + 8d
= 30 + 80
= 110 seats
