SOLUTIONS

SECTION-A

Solution 1:
Given numbers are 300 and 1000.
∵ 300 = 3 x 2² x 5²
1000 = 2³ x 5³
∴ HCF (300, 1000) = 2² x 5² = 100. Ans.

Solution 2:
Given quadratic equation is,
2x² + 5x + k = 0
Here, A = 2, B = 5, C = k
Equation has equal roots, if
D = 0
=> B² – 4AC = 0
=> 25 – 4 x 2 x k = 0
=> 8k = 25
=> k = \(\\ \frac { 25 }{ 8 } \)

Solution 3:
Given A.P. is – 4, – 2, 0, 2, 4,…
Here, a = – 4, d = 2, n = 101
a101 = a + 100d = – 4 + 100 x 2
= 196.

Solution 4:
Given, AB = 10 cm, DE = 12 cm, pr. (∆ABC) = 25 cm
It is given that ∆ABC ~ ∆DEF
=> \(\frac { pr.\left( \triangle ABC \right) }{ pr.\left( \triangle DEF \right) } =\frac { AB }{ DE } \)
=> \(\frac { 25 }{ pr.\left( \triangle DEF \right) } =\frac { 10 }{ 12 } \)
=> pr.(∆DEF) = 30 cm

Solution 5:
Given points are A(9, – 40) and O(0, 0).
Using distance formula,
OA = \(\sqrt { { (9-0) }^{ 2 }+{ (-40-0) }^{ 2 } } \)
= \(\sqrt { { 9 }^{ 2 }+{ (-40) }^{ 2 } } \)
= \(\sqrt { 81+1600 } \)
= \(\sqrt { 1681 } \)
= 41 units.

Solution 6:
Given
tan A = \(\frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 5 } } \)
We have,
\(\frac { { cos }^{ 2 }A-2{ sin }^{ 2 }A }{ { cos }^{ 2 }A+{ sin }^{ 2 }A } \)
Dividing Nr and Dr by cos² A, we get

SECTION-B

Solution 7:
Given numbers are 612 and 408.
Now, using Euclid’s division algorithm
612 = 408 x 1 + 204
408 = 204 x 2 + 0
HCF = 204
We know that HCF x LCM = a x b
=> 204 x LCM = 612 x 408
=> LCM = \(\\ \frac { 612X408 }{ 204 } \)
= 1224

Solution 8:
Given AP is 60, 130, 200,…., 2160.
Here, l = 2160, d = 130 – 60 = 70
∴ nth term from end = l – (n – l)d
10th term from end = 2160 – (10 – 1) x 70
= 2160 – 630 = 1530. Ans.

Solution 9:
Given equations are,
ax + by = a² + b² …(i)
and bx + ay = 2ab …(ii)
On multiplying equation (i) by a and equation (ii) by b, we get
CBSE Sample Papers for Class 10 Maths Paper 6 9

Solution 10:
Given points are A( – 4, 3) and B(6, 5).
Let the point on Y-axis be P(0, b). (Given)
Now, PA = PB
=> PA² = PB²
=> (0 + 4)² + (b – 3)² = (0 – 6)² + (b – 5)²
=> 16 + b² – 6b + 9 = 36 + b² – 10b + 25
=> b² – 6b + 25 = b² – 10b + 61
=> 4b = 36
=> b = 9
The required point is (0, 9). Ans.

Solution 11:
Given : Mean = 52, Median = 54.5.
We know, Mode = 3 Median – 2 Mean
= 3 x 54.5 – 2 x 52
= 163.5 – 104
=> Mode = 59.5. Ans.

Solution 12:
Total number of cards = 52
No. of black king cards = 2
No. of red queen cards = 2
No. of face cards = 12
(i) P(black king or red queen) = P(black king) + P(red queen)
\(=\frac { 2 }{ 52 } +\frac { 2 }{ 52 } =\frac { 4 }{ 52 } =\frac { 1 }{ 13 } \)
(ii) P(non-face card) = 1 – P(face card)
\(=1-\frac { 12 }{ 52 } =\frac { 40 }{ 52 } =\frac { 10 }{ 13 } \)

SECTION-C

Solution 13:
Let √7 is a rational number.
Then, √7 can be written in the form
√7 = \(\\ \frac { p }{ q } \)
such that q ≠ 0

Solution 16:
Given : AO x DO = BO x CO
To prove : ABCD is a trapezium.
Proof : We have,
AO x DO = BO x CO
CBSE Sample Papers for Class 10 Maths Paper 6 16
=> \(\\ \frac { AO }{ OC } \) = \(\\ \frac { BO }{ DO } \)
Also ∠1 = ∠2
∴ By SAS similarity axiom,
∆AOB ~ ∆COD
∠3 = ∠4
∠3 and ∠4 from a pair of alterate angles
AB || CD
Hence, ABCD is a trapezium.
Hence Proved.

Now, quadrilateral PQRS is divided into two triangles, ∆PSR and ∆PQR.
∴ar(\(\Box \) PQRS) = ar (∆PQR) + ar (∆PSR)

= \(\\ \frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) | 25 – 8 + 6 | + \(\\ \frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) | – 15 + 2 – 10 |
= \(\\ \frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) | 23 | + \(\\ \frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) | – 23 |

SECTION-D

Solution 23:
Let marks obtained in mathematics be x and marks obtained in science be y.
According to the question,
x + y = 28
=> y = 28 – x…(i)
Also (x + 3).(y – 4) = 180 ,
=> (x + 3) (28 – x – 4) = 180
=> (x + 3) (24 – x) = 180
=> 24x – x² + 72 – 3x = 180
=> x² – 21x + 108 = 0
=> x² – 12x – 9x + 108 = 0
=> x(x – 12) – 9(x – 12) = 0
=> (x – 12) (x – 9) = 0
=> x = 12 or x = 9.
∴Marks obtained in mathematics = 12 or 9.
If marks obtained in mathematics = 12 then marks obtained in science = 28 – 12 = 16
If marks obtained in mathematics = 9 then marks obtained in science = 28 – 9 = 19

Solution 24:
Let number of rows be ‘n’.
No. of logs in bottom row = 19
