SECTION A [40 Marks]

(Answer all questions from this Section.)

Question 1

(a) Using remainder theorem, find the value of $\displaystyle k$ if on dividing $\displaystyle 2x^3+3x^2-kx+5 \text{ by } x-2$ , leaves a remainder of $\displaystyle 7 .$                                            [3]

$\displaystyle \text{(b) Given } A = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 0 \\ -1 & 7 \end{bmatrix} \text{ and } I = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \text{ and } A^2=9A+mI . \text{ Find } m . \hspace{2.0cm} [4]$

(c) The mean of the following numbers is $\displaystyle 68 .$ Find the value of $\displaystyle x: 45, 52, 60, x, 69, 70, 26, 81 \text{ and } 94 .$ Hence estimate the medium.                       [3]

(a) Let $\displaystyle f(x)=2x^3+3x^2-kx+5$

By remainder theorem, when $\displaystyle f(x)$ is divided by $\displaystyle (x-2)$ means $\displaystyle x-2=0$ , $\displaystyle \Rightarrow x=2$ , then the remainder is $\displaystyle 7 .$

Therefore $\displaystyle 2(2)^3+3(2)^2-k(2)+5 = 7$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow 16+12-2k+5=7$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow 2k = 26$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow k = 13$

$\displaystyle \\$

$\displaystyle \text{(b) Given } A = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 0 \\ -1 & 7 \end{bmatrix} \text{ and } I = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \text{ and } A^2=9A+mI .$

$\displaystyle \text{LHS } = A^2 = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 0 \\ -1 & 7 \end{bmatrix} \times \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 0 \\ -1 & 7 \end{bmatrix}$

$\displaystyle = \begin{bmatrix} 4 & 0 \\ -2-7 & 0+49 \end{bmatrix}$

$\displaystyle = \begin{bmatrix} 4 & 0 \\ -9 & 49 \end{bmatrix}$

$\displaystyle \text{RHS } = 9A+mI= 9 \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 0 \\ -1 & 7 \end{bmatrix} + m \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$

$\displaystyle = \begin{bmatrix} 18 & 0 \\ -9 & 63 \end{bmatrix}+ \begin{bmatrix} m & 0 \\ 0 & m \end{bmatrix}$

$\displaystyle = \begin{bmatrix} 18+m & 0 \\ -9 & 63+m \end{bmatrix}$

Since LHS = RHS

$\displaystyle \begin{bmatrix} 4 & 0 \\ -9 & 49 \end{bmatrix}= \begin{bmatrix} 18+m & 0 \\ -9 & 63+m \end{bmatrix}$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow 4= 18+m \Rightarrow m = -14$

Also $\displaystyle \Rightarrow 49 = 63+m \Rightarrow m = -14$

Hence the value of $\displaystyle m = -14$

$\displaystyle \\$

$\displaystyle \text{(c) Mean} = \frac{\text{Sum of Variates}}{\text{Number of Variates}}$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow 68 = \frac{45+52+60+x+69+70+26+81+94}{9}$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow 612=497+x$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow x = 115$

Now arrange the numbers in ascending order we get

$\displaystyle 26, 45, 52, 60, 69, 70, 81, 94, 115$

$\displaystyle \text{Number of terms } (n) = 9 \text{(odd number of terms)}$

$\displaystyle \text{Median } = \text{Value of the } (\frac{n+1}{2})^th \text{ terms}$

$\displaystyle = \text{Value of the } (\frac{9+1}{2})^{th} \text{ terms}$

$\displaystyle = \text{Value of the } (5)^{th} = 69 \text{(median)}$

Question 2

$\displaystyle \text{(a) The slope of a line joining } P(6, k) \text{ and } Q(1-3k, 3) \text{ is } \frac{1}{2} . \\ \\ \text{ Find: i) } k \text{ ii) Midpoint of } PQ \text{ using the value of } k \text{ found in (i). } \hspace{2.0cm} [3]$

(b) Without using trigonometrical tables evaluate:

$\displaystyle \mathrm{cosec} ^2 57^{\circ} -\tan^2 33^{\circ} +\cos 44^{\circ} \mathrm{cosec} 46^{\circ} -\sqrt{2} \cos 45^{\circ} -\tan^2 60^{\circ} \hspace{3.0cm} [4]$

(c) A certain number of metallic cones, each of radius 2 cm and height 3 cm are melted and, recast into a solid, sphere of radius 6 cm. Find, the number of cones.                                                                                                                       [3]

(a)

$\displaystyle \text{i) Let } P(6, k)=(x_1, y_1) \text{ and } Q(1-3k, 3)= (x_2, y_2)$

$\displaystyle \text{Given: Slope of } PQ = \frac{1}{2}$

$\displaystyle \text{Formula for slope of } PQ = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow \frac{3-k}{1-3k-6}= \frac{1}{2}$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow \frac{3-k}{-3k-5}= \frac{1}{2}$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow 6-2k=-3k-5$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow k = -11$

$\displaystyle \text{ii) Let } P(6, k)=(x_1, y_1) \text{ and } Q(1-3k, 3)= (x_2, y_2)$

$\displaystyle \text{Given: Slope of } PQ = \frac{1}{2}$

$\displaystyle \text{Formula for slope of } PQ = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow \frac{3-k}{1-3k-6}= \frac{1}{2}$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow \frac{3-k}{-3k-5}= \frac{1}{2}$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow 6-2k=-3k-5$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow k = -11$

$\displaystyle \\$

(b) Given:

$\displaystyle \mathrm{cosec} ^2 57^{\circ} -\tan^2 33^{\circ} +\cos 44^{\circ} \mathrm{cosec} 46^{\circ} -\sqrt{2} \cos 45^{\circ} -\tan^2 60^{\circ}$

$\displaystyle = \mathrm{cosec}^2 (90-33)^{\circ} -\tan^2 33^{\circ} +\cos (90-46)^{\circ} \mathrm{cosec} 46^{\circ} -\sqrt{2} \cos 45^{\circ} -\tan^2 60^{\circ}$

$\displaystyle = \sec ^2 33^{\circ} -\tan^2 33^{\circ} +\sin 46^{\circ} . \frac{1}{ \sin 46^{\circ} } -\sqrt{2} . \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}-(\sqrt{3})^2$

$\displaystyle = 1+1 -1-3 = -2$

$\displaystyle \\$

(c) Let number of cones $\displaystyle = n$

Volume of cones = Volume of sphere [Provide Formulas]

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h \times n = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{3} \pi 2^2 \times 3 \times n = \frac{4}{3} \pi 6^3$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow n = \frac{\frac{4}{3} \pi 6^3}{\frac{1}{3} \pi 2^2 \times 3}$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow n = \frac{216}{3} = 72$

Therefore the number of cones needed is $\displaystyle 72$

$\displaystyle \\$

Question 3

(a) Solve the following inequation, write the solution set and represent it on number line.

$\displaystyle -3x(x-7) \geq 15-7x \ge \frac{x+1}{3}, x \in R \hspace{5.0cm} [3]$

(b) In the given figure below, AD is the diameter. O is the center of the circle. AD is parallel to $\displaystyle BC \text{ and } \angle CBD = 32^{\circ} .$ Find: i) $\displaystyle \angle OBD$   ii) $\displaystyle \angle AOB$   iii) $\displaystyle \angle BED$         [4]

$\displaystyle \text{(c) If } (3a+2b): (5a+3b) =18:29 . \text{ Find } a:b$                                                                [3]

(a) $\displaystyle -3x(x-7) \geq 15-7x \ge \frac{x+1}{3}$

$\displaystyle -3x+21 \geq 15-7x \ge \frac{x+1}{3}$

Therefore we have:

$\displaystyle -3x+21 \geq 15-7x$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow 4x \geq -6$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow x \geq - \frac{3}{2} \text{ ... ... ... ... ... i) }$

Also we have

$\displaystyle 15-7x \ge \frac{x+1}{3}$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow 45-21x \ge x+1$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow 44 \ge 22x$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow 2 \ge x \text{ ... ... ... ... ... ii) }$

Combining i) and ii) we get

$\displaystyle \text{Solution Set } =\{x: -\frac{3}{2} \geq x \ge 2 \text{ and } x \in R \}$

$\displaystyle \\$

(b) Given $\displaystyle AD \parallel BC$

Therefore $\displaystyle \angle ADB = \angle DBC = 32^{\circ}$ (alternate angles)

Since $\displaystyle OB=OD$ (radius of the same circle)

Therefore $\displaystyle \angle OBD = 32^{\circ}$ (angles opposite to equal side of the triangle are equal)

$\displaystyle \angle AOB =2 \angle ODB = 2 \times 32^{\circ}$ (angle at the center is twice that subtended at the circumference)

In $\displaystyle \triangle ABC$

$\displaystyle \angle ABD = 90^{\circ} , \angle ADB = 32^{\circ}$

$\displaystyle \angle BAD = 180-90-32 = 58^{\circ}$ (sum of the angles of a triangle is $\displaystyle 180^{\circ}$ )

$\displaystyle \angle BAD = \angle BED$ (angle in the same segment)

Therefore $\displaystyle \angle BED = 58^{\circ}$

$\displaystyle \\$

(c) $\displaystyle (3a+2b):(5a+3b)= 18:29$

$\displaystyle \frac{3a+2b}{5a+3b}=\frac{18}{29}$

Cross multiplying

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow 87a+58b=90a+54b$

$\displaystyle 3a=4b$

$\displaystyle \text{Or } \frac{a}{b}=\frac{4}{3}$

$\displaystyle \\$

Question 4

(a) A game of number has cards marked with $\displaystyle 11, 12, 13, \ldots 40.$ A card is drawn at random. Find the probability that the number on the card drawn is: i) A perfect square ii) Divisible by 7                                                                                                      [3]

(b) Use graph paper for, this question. (Take $\displaystyle 2 \text{ cm } = 7$ unit along both $\displaystyle x \text{ and } y axis$ ). Plot the point $\displaystyle O (0, 0), A(-4, 4), B(-3, 0) \text{ and } C (0, -3) .$                      [4]

Reflect points $\displaystyle A \text{ and } B$ on the y axis and name them $\displaystyle A' \text{ and } B'$ respectively. i) Write down their coordinates. ii) Name the figure $\displaystyle OABCB'A'$ iii) State the line of symmetry of this figure

(c) Mr. Lalit invested Rs. 5000 at a certain rate of interest, compounded annually for two years. At the end of first year it amounts Rs. 5325 . Calculate: i) The rate of interest. ii) The amount at the end of second year, to the nearest rupee.                                                                                                                              [3]

(a) Total number of all possible outcomes $\displaystyle = 30$

$\displaystyle \text{Formula used: Probability } = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of possible outcomes}}$

i) The cards with perfect squares are: $\displaystyle 16, 25 \text{ and } 36$

The number of favorable outcomes $\displaystyle = 3$

$\displaystyle P (\text{A perfect square} ) = \frac{3}{30}=\frac{1}{10}=0.10$

ii) The cards with numbers divisible by $\displaystyle 7$ are: $\displaystyle 14, 21, 28 \text{ and } 35$

Therefore the number of favorable outcomes $\displaystyle = 4$

$\displaystyle P (\text{Divisible by 7}) = \frac{4}{30} = \frac{2}{15}$

$\displaystyle \\$

(b)

i) $\displaystyle A'(4, 4) \text{ and } B'(3, 0)$

iii) $\displaystyle y-axis$ is the line of symmetry

$\displaystyle \\$

(c) Given: Principal $\displaystyle = \text{ Rs. } 5000 , \text{Time } = 2 \text{years} , \text{After one year amount }= 5325 \text{ Rs. }$

i) We know that Amount $\displaystyle (A) = P + I$

$\displaystyle \text{For } 1^{st} \text{ year } : 5325=5000+\frac{PRT}{100}$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow R= \frac{325}{50} = 6.5\%$

ii) Amount (A) at the end of $\displaystyle 2^{nd} \text{ year }$

$\displaystyle \text{Formula for compound interest: } A = P (1+\frac{r}{100})^n$

$\displaystyle \text{Given } P = \text{ Rs. } 5000, r=6.5\% ( \text{ calculated in (i) } ) \text{ and } n = 2$

$\displaystyle \text{Therefore } A = 5000 (1+\frac{6.5}{100})^2$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow A = 5000 \times (\frac{106.5}{100})^2 = 5671.125 \text{ Rs. }$

$\displaystyle \text{Hence Amount at the end of 2 years } = \text{ Rs. } 5671$

Question 5

(a) Solve the quadratic equation $\displaystyle x^2-3(x+3) =0 .$ Give answer correct to three significant figures.                                                                                                             [3]

(b) A page form the saving bank account of Mrs. Ravi is given below:

 Date Particulars Withdrawal (Rs.) Deposit (Rs.) Balance (Rs.) April 3rd 2006 B / F – – 6,000 April 7th By Cash – 2,300 8,300 April 15th By Cheque – 3,500 11,800 May 20th To Self 4,200 – 7,600 June 10th By Cash – 5,800 13,400 June 15th To Self 3,100 – 10,300 August 13th By Cheque – 1,000 11,300 August 25th To Self 7,400 – 3,900 September 6th 2006 By Cash – 2,000 5,900

She closed the account an  30th September, 2006 . Calculate the interest Mrs. Ravi earned, at the end of 30th September, 2006 at 4.5%  per annunm interest. Hence find the amount she receives on closing the account.                              [4]

(c) In what time will Rs. 1500 yield Rs. 1996.50 as compound interest at 15% per annum compounded annually ?                                                                                    [3]

(a) Given $\displaystyle x^2-3(x+3) =0$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow x^2-3x-9=0$

Comparing $\displaystyle x^2-3x-9=0$ with $\displaystyle ax^2+bx+c=0$ , we get $\displaystyle a = 1, b = -3 \text{ and } c =-9$

$\displaystyle \text{Since } x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$\displaystyle \text{Therefore } x = \frac{-(-3) \pm \sqrt{(-3)^2-4(1)(-9)}}{2(1)}$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow x = \frac{3 \pm \sqrt{45}}{2}$

Solving we get $\displaystyle x = 4.85, -1.85$

$\displaystyle \\$

(b) Qualifying principal for various months:

 Month Qualifying Principal (Rs.) April 8300 May 7600 June 10300 July 10300 August 3900 Total 40400

$\displaystyle P = \text{ Rs. } 40400 \ \ \ \ R = 4.5\% \text{ and }\ \ \ \ T= \frac{1}{12}$

$\displaystyle I = P \times R \times T = 40400 \times \frac{4.5}{100} \times \frac{1}{12} = \text{ Rs. } 151.50$

Amount received on 30th September (on closing the account)

$\displaystyle \text{Amount = Last Balance + Interest }$

$\displaystyle \text{Amount } = 5900+151.50 = 6051.50 \text{ Rs. }$

$\displaystyle \\$

(c) Given $\displaystyle P=1500 Rs.; \ \ \ \ A= 1996.50 \text{ Rs. } ; \ \ \ \ r=10\%; n=n$

$\displaystyle A=P(1+\frac{r}{100})^n \Rightarrow 1996.50 = 1500(1+\frac{10}{100})^n$

$\displaystyle (\frac{11}{10})^3= (\frac{11}{10})^n$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow n = 3 \text{ years }$

Question 6

(a) Construct a regular hexagon of side 5 cm. \$ Hence construct all its lines of symmetry and name them.                                                                                             [3]

(b) In the given figure $\displaystyle PQRS$ is a cyclic quadrilateral $\displaystyle PQ \text{ and } RS$ produced meet at point $\displaystyle T .$

i) Prove $\displaystyle \triangle TPS \sim \triangle TRQ$

ii) Find. $\displaystyle SP if TP = 18 \text{ cm}, RQ = 4 \text{ cm and }, TR = 6 \text{ cm }$

iii) Find area, of quadrilateral $\displaystyle PORS$ if area of $\displaystyle \triangle PTS=27 \text{ cm}^2$                   [4]

$\displaystyle \text{(c) Given matrix } A = \begin{bmatrix} 4 \sin 30^{\circ} & \cos 0^{\circ} \\ \cos 0^{\circ} & 4 \sin 30^{\circ} \end{bmatrix} \text{ and } B = \begin{bmatrix} 4 \\ 5 \end{bmatrix}$

If, $\displaystyle AX=B$ :  i) Write the order of matrix $\displaystyle X .$   ii) Find the matrix $\displaystyle X .$                      [3]

(a)

Step 1: Given side of the hexagon is $\displaystyle 5 \text{ cm} .$ Construct the hexagon as follows:

• First draw a line using a ruler of length 5 cm. Mark it AB.
• The using a compass, make an arc of $\displaystyle 5 \text{ cm }$
• Using compass, draw 120 degree angle and cut the line into 5 cm lengths using the compass. Continue this until the hexagon is completed
• One the hexagon is completed, draw perpendicular bisectors of each of the arms of the hexagon. You will get mid point for each of the arms of hexagon as marked $\displaystyle (U, V, W, X, Y, Z)$
• Now join the mid points of the opposite sides to get lines $\displaystyle (UV, WX, \text{ and } YZ)$
• Now draw the diagonals passing through the center to get lines $\displaystyle (AD, BE \text{ and } CF)$

The six lines of symmetry $\displaystyle (UV, WX, YZ, AD, BE \text{ and } CF).$

$\displaystyle \\$

(b)

(i) Consider $\displaystyle \triangle TPS \text{ and } \triangle TRQ$

Since exterior angle of cyclic quadrilateral is equal to the interior opposite angle, we get

$\displaystyle \angle PST = \angle RQT$

$\displaystyle \angle SPQ = \angle QRT$

$\displaystyle \angle T$ is common

Therefore $\displaystyle \triangle TPS \sim \triangle TRQ$

(ii) Since $\displaystyle \triangle TPS \sim \triangle TRQ$

$\displaystyle \frac{TP}{TR}=\frac{PS}{RQ}$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow PS = RQ \times \frac{TP}{TR} = 4 \times \frac{18}{6} = 12 \text{ cm }$

(iii) Since $\displaystyle \triangle TPS \sim \triangle TRQ$

$\displaystyle \frac{\text{Area of} \triangle TPS}{\text{Area of} \triangle TRQ}=\frac{TP^2}{TR^2}$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow \text{Area of} \triangle TRQ = \text{Area of} \triangle TPS \times \frac{TR^2}{TP^2} = 27 \times \frac{6^2}{18^2} = 3 \text{ cm}^2$

Therefore Area of quadrilateral $\displaystyle PQRS = \text{Area of} \triangle TPS - \text{Area of} \triangle TQR = 27-3 = 24 \text{ cm} ^2$

$\displaystyle \\$

$\displaystyle \text{(c) Given matrix } A = \begin{bmatrix} 4 \sin \ 30^{\circ} & \cos 0^{\circ} \\ \cos 0^{\circ} & 4 \sin \ 30^{\circ} \end{bmatrix} \text{ and } B = \begin{bmatrix} 4 \\ 5 \end{bmatrix}$

If, $\displaystyle AX=B$ :

(i) From the given matrix, order of $\displaystyle A = 2 \times 2$ and order of $\displaystyle B = 2 \times 1$

We know

$\displaystyle A_{m \times n} \times X_{m \times n} = B_{m \times n}$

$\displaystyle \text{or } A_{2 \times 2} \times X_{m \times n} = B_{2 \times 1}$

Hence $\displaystyle m = 2 \text{ and } n = 1$

Therefore the order of $\displaystyle X \text{ is } 2 \times 1$

$\displaystyle \text{(ii) Let } X = \begin{bmatrix} a \\ b \end{bmatrix}$

Therefore

$\displaystyle \begin{bmatrix} 4 \sin \ 30^{\circ} & \cos 0^{\circ} \\ \cos 0^{\circ} & 4 \sin \ 30^{\circ} \end{bmatrix} \times \begin{bmatrix} a \\ b \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 4 \\ 5 \end{bmatrix}$

$\displaystyle \begin{bmatrix} 4a \sin \ 30^{\circ} +b \cos 0^{\circ} \\ a \cos 0^{\circ} + 4b \sin \ 30^{\circ} \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 4 \\ 5 \end{bmatrix}$

$\displaystyle 4a \sin \ 30^{\circ} +b \cos 0^{\circ} =4$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow 2a+b=4 \text{ ... ... ... ... ... i) }$

$\displaystyle a \cos 0^{\circ} + 4b \sin \ 30^{\circ} = 5$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow a+2b=5 \text{ ... ... ... ... ... ii) }$

Solving i) and ii) we get $\displaystyle a = 1 \text{ and } b = 2$

$\displaystyle \text{Therefore } X = \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 2 \end{bmatrix}$

$\displaystyle \\$

Question 7

(a) An aero plane is at a height of 1500 meters finds that two ships are sailing towards it in the same direction. The angle of depression as observed from the aero plane are $\displaystyle 45^{\circ} \text{ and } 35^{\circ}$ respectively. Find the distance between the two ships.                                                                                                                                       [4]

(b) The table shows the distribution of the scores obtained by 160 shooters in a shooting competition. Use a graph sheet and draw an ogive of the distribution.

(Take $\displaystyle 2 \text{ cm } = 10$ scores on the $\displaystyle x-axis \text{ and } 2 \text{ cm } = 20$ shooters on the $\displaystyle y-axis$ ).

 Scores 0-10 10-20 20-30 30-40 40-50 50-60 60-70 70-80 80-90 90-100 No of shooters 9 13 20 26 30 22 15 10 8 7

Use your graph to estimate the following: i) The median. ii) The interquartile range. iii) The number of shooters who obtained a score of more than 85%.    [6]

(a) In the adjacent diagram, let $\displaystyle D$ be the air plane and $\displaystyle A \text{ and } B$ be the two ships.

Given: $\displaystyle CD=1500 \text{ m}$

$\displaystyle \angle EDA = 30^{\circ}$

$\displaystyle \angle EDB = 45^{\circ}$

Consider $\displaystyle \triangle DBC$

$\displaystyle \tan 45^{\circ} = \frac{DC}{BC} = \frac{1500}{BC} \Rightarrow BC = 1500 \text{ m}$

Consider $\displaystyle \triangle ADC$

$\displaystyle \tan 30^{\circ} = \frac{DC}{AC} = \frac{1500}{AB+BC} \Rightarrow AB+BC = 1500 \sqrt{3}$

Therefore $\displaystyle AB = 1500 \sqrt{3}-1500 = 1098 \text{ m}$

Hence, distance between two ships $\displaystyle = 1098 \text{ m}$

$\displaystyle \\$

(b)

 Scores No of Shooters Cumulative Frequency (c.f.) 0-10 9 9 10-20 13 22 20-30 20 42 30-40 26 68 40-50 30 98 50-60 22 120 60-70 15 135 70-80 10 145 80-90 8 153 90-100 7 160

(i) $\displaystyle N = 160$ (which is even)

$\displaystyle \text{Median } = (\frac{N}{2})^{th} \text{ Term} = 80^{th} \text{ Term}$

From the graph, Median $\displaystyle = 43.5$

$\displaystyle \text{(ii) Lower Quartile } = (\frac{N}{4})^{th} \text{ Term} = 40^{th} \text{ Term} = 28.5$

$\displaystyle \text{Upper Quartile } = (\frac{3N}{4})^{th} \text{ Term} = 120^{th} \text{ Term} = 60$

Inter Quartile range $\displaystyle 60-28.5 = 31.5$

(iii) The number of shooter who obtained a score of more $\displaystyle 85\% = 160-150 = 10$ (using the graph)

Question 8

$\displaystyle \text{(a) If } \frac{x}{a}=\frac{y}{b}=\frac{z}{c} \text{ show that } \frac{x^3}{a^3}+ \frac{y^3}{b^3}+ \frac{z^3}{c^3} = \frac{3xyz}{abc} \hspace{6.0cm} [3]$

(b) Draw, a line $\displaystyle AB = 5 \text{ cm} .$ Mark a point $\displaystyle C on AB$ such that $\displaystyle AC = 3 \text{ cm} .$ Using a ruler and compass only, construct:

(i) A circle of radius $\displaystyle 2.5 \text{ cm }$ , passing through $\displaystyle A \text{ and } C .$

(ii) Construct two tangents to the circle from the external point $\displaystyle B .$ Measure and record the length of the tangents.                                             [4]

$\displaystyle \text{(c) A line } AB \text{ meets the x-axis at } A \text{ and y-axis at } B. \ P(4, -1) \\ \\ \text{ divides } AB \text{ in the ratio } 1 : 2.$

(i) Find the coordinates of $\displaystyle A \text{ and } B .$

(ii) Find the equation of the line through $\displaystyle P$ and perpendicular to $\displaystyle AB .$    [3]

$\displaystyle \text{(a) Let } \frac{x}{a}=\frac{y}{b}=\frac{z}{c} = k$

Therefore $\displaystyle = ak, y =bk, z=ck$

$\displaystyle \text{LHS } = \frac{x^3}{a^3}+ \frac{y^3}{b^3}+ \frac{z^3}{c^3}$

$\displaystyle = \frac{(ak)^3}{a^3}+ \frac{(bk)^3}{b^3}+ \frac{(ck)^3}{c^3}$

$\displaystyle = k^3+k^3+k^3 = 3k^3$

$\displaystyle \text{Since } k =\frac{x}{a}, k =\frac{y}{b}, k =\frac{z}{c}$

Substituting

$\displaystyle = 3 \frac{x}{a} \frac{y}{b} \frac{z}{c} = \text{ RHS Hence proved. }$

(b)

1. First draw line $\displaystyle AB = 5 \text{ cm} .$ This you can just draw by using a ruler.
2. From $\displaystyle AB$ cut $\displaystyle AC = 3 \text{ cm} .$ This can be done by using a compass. Set the compass at 3 cm and then make this arc cutting AB at C.
3. Draw perpendicular bisector of $\displaystyle AC .$
4. Taking $\displaystyle A$ as center and $\displaystyle AO = 2.5 \text{ cm }$ radius, draw an arc to meet the perpendicular bisector of $\displaystyle AC \text{ at } O .$
5. Taking $\displaystyle O$ as the center and $\displaystyle AO = 2.5 \text{ cm }$ as radius, draw a circle, which passing through $\displaystyle A \text{ and } C$
6. Join $\displaystyle BO .$
7. Draw right bisector of $\displaystyle BO$ , which cuts $\displaystyle BO \text{ at } P .$
8. Taking $\displaystyle P$ as center and $\displaystyle OP$ as radius, draw a circle which cuts old Circle at $\displaystyle R \text{ and } T .$

$\displaystyle \\$

(c)

(i) Let coordinates of $\displaystyle A \text{ and } B \text{ be } (a, 0) \text{ and } (0, b)$

The coordinate of a point $\displaystyle P (4, -1) \text{ on } AB$ divides it in the ratio $\displaystyle 1 : 2$

$\displaystyle AP: PB = 1:2$

If a point divides two points $\displaystyle (x_1, y_1) \text{ and } (x_2, y_2)$ in the ratio $\displaystyle m_1:m_2$ , then the coordinates of the point at

$\displaystyle x = \frac{m_1x_2+m_2x_1}{m_1+m_2}$

$\displaystyle y = \frac{m_1y_2+m_2y_1}{m_1+m_2}$

Therefore

$\displaystyle 4 = \frac{1 \times 0+2 \times a}{1+2} \Rightarrow a = 6$

$\displaystyle -1 = \frac{1 \times b+2 \times 0}{1+2} \Rightarrow b = -3$

Therefore coordinates are $\displaystyle A(6,0) \text{ and } B(0, -3)$

$\displaystyle \text{(ii) Slope of AB } = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}= \frac{-3-0}{0-6}= \frac{1}{2}$

$\displaystyle \text{Slope of perpendicular bisector } = \frac{-1}{ \frac{1}{2}} = -2$

Required equation of the line: $\displaystyle (y-y_1)=m(x-x_1)$

$\displaystyle y-(-1)=-2(x-4)$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow y+1=-2x+8$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow 2x+y=7$

Question 9

(a) A dealer buys an article at a discount of 30% from the wholesaler, the marked price being Rs. 6,000. The dealer sells it to a shopkeeper at a discount of 10% on the marked price. If the rate of VAT is 6%, find:

(i) The price paid by the shopkeeper including the tax.

(ii) The VAT paid by the dealer.                                                                             [3]

(b) The given figure represents a kite with a, circular and a Semicircular motifs stuck on it. The radius of circle is $\displaystyle 2.5 \text{ cm }$ and the semicircle is $\displaystyle 2 \text{ cm} .$ If diagonals $\displaystyle AC \text{ and } BD$ are the lengths $\displaystyle 12 \text{ cm } \text{ and } 8 \text{ cm }$ respectively, find the area of the :

(c) A model of a ship is made to a scale $\displaystyle 1 : 300 .$

(i) The length of the model of the ship is $\displaystyle 2 \text{ m} .$ Calculate the length of the ship.

(ii) The area of the deck ship is $\displaystyle 180,000 \text{ m}^2 .$ Calculate the area of the deck of the model.

(iii) The volume of the model is $\displaystyle 6.5 \text{ m}^3 .$ Calculate the volume of the ship. [3]

(a) Given: Market Price $\displaystyle = \text{ Rs. } 6,000$ Rate of discount $\displaystyle =30\%$

Therefore the cost price of the article for the dealer

$\displaystyle = 6000 - \frac{30}{100} \times 6000$

$\displaystyle = 6000-1800 = 4200 \text{ Rs. }$

Sales tax paid by the dealer to the wholesaler

$\displaystyle = \frac{6}{100} \times 4200 = 252 \text{ Rs. }$

(i) Discount rate for shop keeper $\displaystyle = 10\%$

The cost price for the shopkeeper

$\displaystyle = 6000-\frac{10}{100} \times 6000$

$\displaystyle = 6000 - 600 = 5400$

The price paid by the shopkeeper including the tax

$\displaystyle = 5400 + \frac{6}{100} \times 5400$

$\displaystyle = 5400 + 324 = 5724 \text{ Rs. }$

(ii) VAT paid by the dealer = Tax charged – Tax paid

$\displaystyle = 324 - 252 = 72 \text{ Rs. }$

$\displaystyle \\$

(b)

(i) Given: Radius of circle $\displaystyle = 2.5 \text{ cm }$ Radius of semicircle $\displaystyle = 2 \text{ cm} .$

Area of shaded part = Area of semicircle + Area of circle

$\displaystyle = \frac{1}{2} \pi r^2 + \pi r^2$

$\displaystyle = \frac{1}{2} \pi (2)^2+\pi (2.5)^2$

$\displaystyle = 2\pi + 6.24 \pi$

$\displaystyle = 8.25 \pi$

$\displaystyle = 25.92 \text{ cm}^{2}$

(ii) Let kite $\displaystyle ABCD$ be a quadrilateral.

$\displaystyle \text{Area of quad } = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{ the product of the diagonals}$

$\displaystyle \text{Area of kite } = \frac{1}{2} BD x AC = \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times 12 = 48 \text{ cm}^{2}$

Area of the unshaded part = Area of kite – Area of shaded part $\displaystyle = 48-26 = 22 \text{ cm}^{2}$

$\displaystyle \\$

$\displaystyle \text{(c) Scale factor} = \frac{\text{length of the model}}{\text{length of the ship}}$

Length of the ship $\displaystyle = 2 \times 300 = 600 \text{ m}$

$\displaystyle (\text{Scale factor})^2 = \frac{\text{area of the model}}{\text{area of the ship}}$

$\displaystyle \text{Area of the model } = \frac{180000}{90000} = 2 \text{ m}^2$

$\displaystyle (\text{Scale factor})^3 = \frac{\text{Volume of the model}}{\text{Volume of the ship}}$

Volume of the ship $\displaystyle = 6.5 \times (300)^3 = 175500000 \text{ cm}^3$

Question 10

(a) Mohan has a recurring deposit account in a bank for 2 years at 6% p.a. simple interest. If he gets Rs. 1200 as interest at the time of maturity, find:

(i) the monthly installment

(ii) the amount of maturity                                                                                   [3]

(b) The histogram below represents the scores obtained by 25 students in a Mathematics mental test. Use the data to:

(i) Frame a frequency distribution, table.

(ii) To calculate mean.

(iii) To determine the Modal class.                                                                       [4]

(c) A bus covers a distance of 240 km at a uniform speed. Due to heavy rain its speed gets reduced by 10 km/hr and as such it takes two hrs longer to cover the total distance. Assuming the uniform speed to be $\displaystyle x \text{ km/hr},$ form an equation and solve it to evaluate $\displaystyle x .$                                                                               [3]

(a) $\displaystyle n =$ the number of months for which the money is deposited $\displaystyle = 2 \times 12 = 24$

$\displaystyle \text{ Rate } = 6\%, \text{ Interest } = 1200 \text{ Rs. }$

(i) Let the monthly instalment be $\displaystyle x$

Using the formula:

$\displaystyle S.I. = P \times \frac{n(n+1)}{2 \times 12} \times \frac{r}{100}$

$\displaystyle 1200 = x \times \frac{24(24+1)}{2 \times 12} \times \frac{6}{100}$

$\displaystyle 1200 = x \times \frac{24 \times 25 }{2 \times 12} \times \frac{6}{100}$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow x = \frac{2 \times 1200}{3} = 800$

Therefore the monthly instalment $\displaystyle = 800 \text{ Rs. }$

(ii) The amount at maturity = Total money deposited + interest

$\displaystyle = 24 \times 800 + 1200 = 20400 \text{ Rs. }$

$\displaystyle \text{(c) Let the speed of the bus for onward journey } = x \text{ km/hr}$

$\displaystyle \text{Distance } = 240 \text{ km}$

$\displaystyle \text{Time taken for onward journey } = \frac{240}{x} \text{ hrs}$

$\displaystyle \text{Due to rain the return speed of the bus } = (x-10) \text{ km/hr}$

$\displaystyle \text{Time taken for the return journey } = \frac{240}{x-10} \text{ hrs}$

Given that the return time is 2 hours more, we have

$\displaystyle \frac{240}{x-10} - \frac{240}{x} = 2$

$\displaystyle \frac{240x - 240x + 2400}{x(x-10)} = 2$

$\displaystyle 2x^2 - 20x = 2400$

$\displaystyle x^2-10x-1200 = 0$

$\displaystyle x^2 - 40x +30x -1200 = 0$

$\displaystyle x(x-40)+30(x-40)=0$

$\displaystyle (x-40)(x+30) = 0$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow x = 40 \text{ or } -30 ( \text{not possible})$

Hence $\displaystyle x = 40 \text{ km/hr}$

(ii) Market value of each share.                                                                            [3]

$\displaystyle \text{(a) To prove } \frac{\cos A}{1+\sin A} +\tan A = \sec A$

$\displaystyle = \frac{\cos A}{1+\sin A} + \frac{\sin A}{\cos A}$

$\displaystyle = \frac{ \cos ^2 A +\sin A(1+ \sin A)}{ (1+ \sin A) \cos A}$
