Once upon a time in Ghaziabad was a corn cob seller. During the lockdown period in the year 2020, his business
was almost lost.
So, he started selling corn grains online through Amazon and Flipcart. Just to understand how many grains he
will have from one corn cob, he started counting them.
Being a student of mathematics let's calculate it mathematically. Let's assume that one corn cob (see Fig.),
shaped somewhat like a cone, has the radius of its broadest end as 2.1 cm and length as 20 cm.

Explanation: For the equation 5x – 7y = 35, if y = 5,
5x − 7y = 35

y = 5

5x − 7.5 = 35

5x − 35 = 35

5x = 35 + 35

5x = 70

x = 14

3.
(b) on the negative direction of the X-axis
Explanation: In point (-10, 0) y-coordinate is zero, so it lies on X-axis and its x-coordinate is negative, so the point (-10, 0)
lies on the X-axis in the negative direction.

7. (a) 82°
Explanation: 82°
Clearly, ∠DOF = ∠C OE = 54 ... (vertically opposite angles)
Also,
∠AOF + ∠AOE = 180

⇒ ∠AOF = 180 − ∠AOE

⇒ ∠AOF = 180 − 98

⇒ ∠AOF = 82

8.

Explanation:

Page 8 of 19
 Given,

ABCD is a trapezium
AB || DC
M, N are mid points of AD & BC
AB = 12 cm, MN = 14 cm
∵ AB || MN || CD [M, N are mid points of AD &BC]

MP = NP
By mid point theorem,
1 1
MP = 2
CD and NP = 2
AB
∴ MN = 1

(AB + CD)
⇒ 14 = 1

(12 + CD)
⇒ CD = 28 - 12 = 16 cm

9.
(d) -2
Explanation: If (x + a) is a factor of the polynomial x 3 2
+ ax − 2x + a + 6 , then
p (−a) = 0
3 2
=> (−a) + a(−a) − 2 (−a) + a + 6 = 0

=> −a
3
+ a
3
+ 2a + a + 6 = 0

=> 3a = −6

=> a = −2

10. (a) Remains the same

Explanation: If for any c. where c is any natural number
Like addition and subtraction we can multiply and divide both sides of an equation by a number, c, without changing the
equation, where c is any natural number.
11.
(d) 47
Explanation: Let if l1||l2 and AB is tranverse to it
Then,
∠ PBA should be equal to ∠ BAS (Alternate angles)

So if l1|| l2, then ∠ BAS = 70o

⇒ ∠BAC = 78o - 35o = 43o..(i)

Now, in △ABC
xo + ∠ C + ∠ BAC = 180o
⇒ xo + 90o + 43o = 180o
⇒ xo = 180o - 90o - 43o = 47o
⇒ xo = 47o
So if xo = 47o then l1|| l2

12.
(b) rectangle
Explanation: rectangle

Page 9 of 19
 Let ABCD be a rhombus and P,Q,R and S be the mid-points of sides AB, BC, CD and DA respectively.
In △ABD and △BDC we have
SP ∥ BD and SP = BD ..... (1) [By mid-point theorem]
1

RQ ∥ BD and RQ = 1

2
BD ..... (2) [By mid-point theorem]
From (1) and (2) we get,
SP ∥ RQ
PQRS is a parallelogram
As diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles.
∴ AC⊥BD
Since, SP ∥ BD, PQ ∥ AC and AC⊥BD
∴ SP⊥PQ
∴ ∠QPS = 90o
∴ PQRS is a rectangle.
13.
(d) 30°
Explanation: ∠ ADC = ∠ BAD = 30° (Alternate angles)
∠ ADB = 90° (Angle in semicircle)

∴ ∠ CDB = (90° + 30°) = 120°

But ABCD being a cyclic quadrilateral, we have:

∠BAC + ∠ CDB = 180°
⇒ ​∠ BAD + ∠ CAD + ∠ CDB = 180°

⇒ ​30° + ∠ CAD + 120° = 180°

⇒ ​∠ CAD = (180° - 150°) = 30°

⇒ ∠ CAD = 30°

15. (a) y = 0
Explanation: Since x-axis is a parallel to itself at a distance 0 from it. Let P (x,y) be any point on the x-axis. Then clearly, for
all position of P, we shall have the same ordinate 0 or, y = 0. Therefore, the equation of x-axis is y = 0.
16.
(b) 4 cm
Explanation: In a triangle, if two of its angles are equal then the sides opposite to equal angles are also equal.
In △PQR, ∠ R = ∠ P
⇒ QR (side opposite to ∠ P) = PQ (side opposite to ∠ R)

Given that, QR = 4 cm
⇒ PQ = 4 cm
17.
(b) 0.02
Explanation: Assume a = 0.013 and b = 0.007. Then the given expression can be rewritten as

Page 10 of 19
 3 3
a +b

2 2
a −ab+ b

Recall the formula for sum of two cubes

a3 + b3 = (a + b)(a2 - ab + b2)
Using the above formula, the expression becomes
2 2
(a+b)( a −ab+ b )

2 2
a −ab+ b

Note that both a and b are positive. So, neither a3 + b3 nor any factor of it can be zero.
Therefore we can cancel the term (a2 - ab + b2) from both numerator and denominator. Then the expression becomes
2 2
(a+b)( a −ab+ b )

= a+ b
2 2
a −ab+ b

= 0.013 + 0.007
= 0.02
18. (a) π cm 3

Explanation:

Radii of cone = r = 1 cm
Radius of hemisphere = r = 1 cm (h) = 1cm
Height of cone (h) = 1 h =1 cm

19. (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: 510 = a + b + c
510 = 25x + 14x + 12x
510 = 51x
x = 10
Three side of the triangle are
25x = 25 × 10 = 250 cm
14x = 14 × 10 = 140 cm and
12x = 12 × 10 = 120 cm

20.
(c) A is true but R is false.
Explanation: Every linear equation has degree 1.
2x + 5 = 0 and 3x + y = 5 are linear equations. So, both have degree 1.
Section B
21. As we are given that, both the triangle are congruent which means their corresponding angles are equal.
Therefore, ∠ AOB = ∠ AO'B = 50o
Now, by degree measure theorem, we have
∠ APB = ∠AOB

2
= 50o / 2 = 25o
∠ APB = 25o

Page 11 of 19
22. Let the sides of the triangle be 12x, 17x and 25x
Therefore, 12x + 17x + 25x = 540
⇒ 54x = 540 ⇒ x = 10

∴ The sides are 120 cm, 170 cm and 250 cm.

23. In triangles ACD and QCP,
∠ A = ∠ P and ∠ Q = ∠ D [Angles in same segment]

∴ ∠ ACD = ∠ QCP [Third angles] ...(i)

Subtracting ∠ PCD from both the sides of eq. (i), we get,
∠ ACD - ∠ PCD = ∠ QCP - ∠ PCD

∠ ACP = ∠ QCD

Hence proved.
24. Given that, Distance (OC) = 5 cm
Radius of circle (OA) = 10 cm
In △OCA, by using Pythagoras theorem
AC2 + OC2 = OA2
AC2 + 52 = 102
AC2 = 100 - 25
AC2 = 75
AC = 8.66 cm
We know that,
The perpendicular from centre to chord bisects the chord
Therefore, AC = BC = 8.66 cm
Then, Chord AB = 8.66 + 8.66
= 17.32 cm.
OR
Since ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral.
∴ ∠ ADC + ∠ ABC = 180°

⇒ 130° + ∠ ABC = 180°

⇒ ∠ ABC = 50o
Since ∠ ACB is the angle in a semi-circle.

∴ ∠ ACB = 90o
Using angle sum property in △ ABC, we obtain
∠ BAC + ∠ ACB + ∠ ABC = 180°

⇒ ∠ BAC + 90° + 50° = 180°

⇒ ∠ BAC = 40°

25. x-2y=4
Put x = 2 and y = 0 in given equation, we get
x – 2y = 2 – 2(0) = 2 – 0 = 2, which is not 4.
∴ (2, 0) is not a solution of given equation.

Page 12 of 19
 OR
For x = 2, y = 1
L.H.S. = 2x – 3y
= 2(2) – 3(1)
=4–3=1
= R.H.S.
∴ x = 2, y = 1 is a solution of 2x – 3y = 1.

 Let two lines AB and CD intersect at point O.
To prove: ∠AOC = ∠BOD (vertically opposite angles )
∠AOD = ∠BOC (vertically opposite angles )

Proof: (i) Since, ray OA stands on the line CD.

⇒ ∠AOC + ∠AOD = 180 °…(1)[Linear pair axiom]

Also, ray OD stands on the line AB.

∠AOD + ∠BOD = 180 …(2) [Linear pair axiom ]

From equations (1) and (2), we get

∠AOC + ∠AOD = ∠AOD + ∠BOD

 Section E
36. i. First we will find the curved surface area of the corn cob.
We have, r = 2.1 and h = 20
Let l be the slant height of the conical corn cob. Then,
−−−−−− −−−−−−−−−−− −−−−−−−− −−−−−
l = √r + h = √(2.1) + (20) = √4.41 + 400 = √404.41 = 20.11 cm

∴ Curved surface area of the corn cub = πrl

= 92.4 cm3
iii. Now
Total number of grains on the corn cob = Curved surface area of the corn cob × Number of grains of corn on 1 cm2
Hence, Total number of grains on the corn cob = 132.73 × 4 = 530.92
So, there would be approximately 531 grains of corn on the cob.
OR
Volume of a corn cub = 92.4 cm3
Volume of the cartoon = 20 × 25 × 20 = 10,000 cm3
Thus no. of cubs which can be stored in the cartoon
≈ 108 cubs

37. i. x - y = 10
2x + 3y = 120
ii. 2x + 3y = 120
iii. x - y = 10 ...(1)
2x + 3y = 120 ...(2)
Multiply equation (1) by 3 and to equation (2)
3x - 3y + 2x + 3y = 30 + 120
⇒ 5x = 150

⇒ x = 30

Hence the number thought by Prateek is 30.

OR
We know that x - y = 10 ...(i) and 2x + 3y = 120 ...(ii)
Put x = 30 in equation (i)
30 - y = 10
⇒ y = 40

Hence number thought by Kevin = 40.

38. i. Since, ABCD is a parallelogram.
∠ A + ∠ D = 180o (adjacent angles of a quadrilateral are equal)
(4x + 3)o + (5x + 3)o = 180o

Page 18 of 19
 9x = 180o
x = 20
∠ D = (5x - 3)o = 97o
∠ D = ∠ B (opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal)
Thus, ∠ B = 97o
ii. ∠ B = ∠ D (opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal)
⇒ 2y = 3y - 6

⇒ 2y - 3y = -6

⇒ -y = -6
⇒ y=6
iii. ∠ A = ∠ C (opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal)
⇒ 2x - 3 = 4y + 2

⇒ 2x = 4y + 5

⇒ x = 2y +

OR
AB = CD
⇒ 2y - 3 = 5
⇒ 2y = 8
⇒ y = 4
