Term 2 Sample Paper for Class 10 Maths With Solutions Set C
SECTION – A
1. If a point P is 13 cm away from the centre O of a circle and the length PT of the tangent drawn from P to the circle is 12 cm. Then find the radius of the circle.
Answer : 1. If a point P is 13 cm away from the centre O of a circle and the length PT of the tangent drawn from P to the circle is 12 cm. Then find the radius of the circle.
In ΔPTO, OP2 = PT2 + OT2
⇒ 132 = 122 + OT2 ⇒ 169 – 144 = OT2 ⇒ 25 = OT2 ⇒ OT = 5 cm
2. For what value of k will k + 11, 2k – 1 and 2k + 7 are the consecutive terms of an A.P.?
Answer : Let k + 11, 2k – 1 and 2k + 7 are in A.P.
∴ (2k – 1) – (k + 11) = (2k + 7) – (2k – 1)
⇒ 2k – 1 – k – 11 = 2k + 7 – 2k + 1
⇒ k – 12 = 8 ⇒ k = 20
3. Find the roots of the quadratic equation a2b2x2 + b2x – a2x – 1 = 0.
Answer : The given quadratic equation is a2b2x2 + b2x – a2x – 1 = 0
⇒ b2x (a2x + 1) – 1 (a2x + 1) = 0
⇒ (a2x + 1)(b2x – 1) = 0 ⇒ a2x + 1 = 0 or b2x – 1 = 0
⇒ x = −1 / a2 or x = 1 / b2
OR
Find the value of k, for which the quadratic equation x2 – kx + 4 = 0 has equal roots.
Answer : The given equation is, x2 – kx + 4 = 0
For equal roots, D = b2 – 4ac = 0
⇒ (–k)2 – 4(1)(4) = 0 ⇒ k2 = 16 ⇒ k = ± 4
4. Find two consecutive positive integers, the sum of whose squares is 61.
Answer : Let the two consecutive positive integers be x and x + 1.
According to question, x2 + (x + 1)2 = 61
⇒ x2 + x2 + 2x + 1 = 61
⇒ 2x2 + 2x = 60 ⇒ x2 + x – 30 = 0
⇒ x2 + 6x – 5x – 30 = 0 ⇒ x(x + 6) – 5(x + 6) = 0 ⇒ (x + 6)(x – 5) = 0
⇒ x = -6 or x = 5 ⇒ x = 5 [Since x is a positive integer]
And x + 1 = 6
∴ The two consecutive positive integers are 5 and 6.
5. The mode of the following frequency distribution is 38. Find the value of x.
Answer :
6. A cone and a hemisphere have equal bases and equal volumes. Find the sum of the numerator and denominator of ratio of height of cone and radius of hemisphere.
Answer : Let r be the radius of both the cone and hemisphere and h be the height of the cone.
∴ Volume of cone = Volume of hemisphere
∴ Required sum = 2 + 1 = 3
OR
Three cubes each of edge 3 cm are joined end to end. Find the surface area of the resulting cuboid.
Answer : Length of the resulting cuboid = 3 + 3 + 3 = 9 cm
Breadth of the resulting cuboid = 3 cm
Height of the resulting cuboid = 3 cm
∴ Surface area of the resulting cuboid = 2(lb + bh + hl)
= 2(9 × 3 + 3 × 3 + 3 × 9) = 2 × 63 = 126 cm2

7. Calculate the mean and median for the following frequency distribution:
Answer :
Answer :
8. Draw a circle of radius 5 cm. From a point P, 8 cm away from its centre, construct a pair of tangents to the circle. Measure the length of each one of the tangents.
Answer : Steps of construction :
Step-I : Draw a circle with O as centre and radius 5 cm.
Step-II : Mark a point P outside the circle such that OP = 8 cm.
Step-III : Join OP and draw its perpendicular bisector, which cuts OP at M.
Step-IV : Draw a circle with M as centre and radius equal to MP to intersect the given circle at the point T and T′. Join PT and PT′.
Hence, PT and PT′ are the required tangents.
9. A person walking 20 m towards a chimney in a horizontal line through its base observes that its angle of elevation changes from 30° to 45°. Find the height of chimney.
Answer : Suppose height of the chimney is h metres. Let A and B be the point of observation and BC be x m.
OR
A man rowing a boat away from a lighthouse 150 m high takes 2 minutes to change the angle of elevation of the top of lighthouse from 45° to 30°. Find the speed of the boat. [Use √3 = 1.732]
Answer : Let AB be the lighthouse of height 150 m.
Let initially boat is at C and after 2 minutes it reaches at D.
10. If the median of the distribution given below is 28.5, then find the values of x and y.
Answer :
SECTION – C
11. The sums of n, 2n, 3n terms of an A.P. are S1, S2, S3 respectively. Prove that S3 = 3(S2 – S1).
Answer : Let a be the first term and d be the common difference of the A.P.
12. Prove that opposite sides of a quadrilateral circumscribing a circle subtend supplementary angles
at the centre of the circle.
Answer : Let ABCD be the quadrilateral circumscribing a circle at the center O such that it touches the circle at the point P,Q,R,S. Let join the vertices of the quadrilateral ABCD to the center of the circle
In ΔOAP and ΔOAS
AP=AS ( Tangents from to same point A)
PO=OS ( Radii of the same circle)
OA=OA ( Common side)
so, ΔOAP=ΔOAS (SSS congruence criterion)
∴ ∠POA=∠AOS (CPCT)
⇒ ∠1=∠8
Similarly, ∠2=∠3, ∠4=∠5 and ∠6=∠7
∠1+∠2 +∠3+∠4+∠5+∠6+∠7+∠8 = 360⁰
⇒ (∠1 +∠8) +(∠2 +∠3) + (∠4 +∠5) + (∠6 +∠7) = 360⁰
⇒ 2(∠1) + 2(∠2) + 2(∠5) + 2(∠6) = 360⁰
⇒ (∠1) + (∠2) + (∠5) + (∠6) = 180⁰
∴ ∠AOD + ∠COD=180⁰
Similarly, ∠BOC + ∠DOA = 180⁰
A circle is inscribed in a DABC having sides 16 cm, 20 cm and 24 cm as shown in figure. Find AD, BE and CF.
Answer : Since, tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal.
∴ AD = AF = x, BD = BE = y and CE = CF = z
According to the question,
AB = x + y = 24 cm …(i)
BC = y + z = 16 cm …(ii)
AC = x + z = 20 cm …(iii)
Subtracting (iii) from (i), we get
y – z = 4 …(iv)
Adding (ii) and (iv), we get
2y = 20 ⇒ y = 10 cm
Substituting the value of y in (i) and (ii), we get
x = 14 cm, z = 6 cm
∴ AD = 14 cm, BE = 10 cm and CF = 6 cm.

CASE STUDY QUESTION – 2
14. A boy 4 m tall spots a pigeon sitting on the top of a pole of height 54 m from the ground. The angle of elevation of the pigeon from the eyes of boy at any instant is 60°. The pigeon flies away horizontally in such a way that it remained at a constant height from the ground. After 8 seconds, the angle of elevation of the pigeon from the same point is 45°.
Based on the above information, answer the following questions. (Take √3 =1.73 )
(i) Find the distance of first position of the pigeon from the eyes of the boy.
(ii) How much distance the pigeon covers in 8 seconds?
Answer : (i) Distance of first position of pigeon from the eyes of boy = AC
