Question 1
Choose the correct answers to the questions from the given options. (Do not copy the question, Write the correct answer only.) [10]
(i) The point (3,0) is invariant under reflection in:
(a) The origin (b) x-axis (c) y-axis (d) both x and y axes
Answer:
We know that, every point in a line is invariant under the reflection in the same line.
As the points (3,0) lie on the x-axis, (3,0) is invariant under reflection in x-axis.

(a) (b)
(c)
(d)
Answer:

Since the two line are parallel,
(viii) Volume of a cylinder is The volume of the cone having same radius and height as that of the given cylinder is:
(a) (b)
(c)
(d)
Answer:
Let be the radius and
be the height of the cylinder and the cone.
(ix) In the given graph, the modal class is the class with frequency:
(a) 72 (b) 21 (c) 48 (d) 36
Answer:
Modal class = 20 – 30 (This is the class with the highest frequency).
Therefore the frequency is 72

(iv) A drone camera is used to shoot an object P from two different positions R and S along the same vertical line QRS. The angle of depression of the object P from these two positions are and
respectively as shown in the diagram. If the distance of the object P from point Q is 50 meters, then find the distance between R and S correct to the nearest meter. [3]
Answer:
Hence SR nearest meter is 52 m.
