Q12 marksVery Short AnswerQuadratic Equations

Find the nature of the roots of the quadratic equation $x^{2} - 5 x + 9 = 0$ .

Show answer & solution

Answer: No real roots (discriminant

= - 11 < 0

)

Here $a = 1$ , $b = - 5$ , $c = 9$
$D = b^{2} - 4 a c = 25 - 36 = - 11$
Since $D < 0$ , the equation has no real roots.

Q1 (OR) (OR)2 marksVery Short AnswerQuadratic Equations

Write a quadratic equation with roots $- 3$ and 5.

Show answer & solution

Answer:

x^{2} - 2 x - 15 = 0

Sum of roots $= - 3 + 5 = 2$
Product of roots $= (- 3) (5) = - 15$
Required equation: $x^{2} - (sum) x + product = 0$
$x^{2} - 2 x - 15 = 0$

Q22 marksVery Short AnswerStatistics

Find the mode of the following frequency distribution :
Class: 0–20, 20–40, 40–60, 60–80, 80–100
Frequency: 8, 7, 12, 5, 3

Show answer & solution

Answer:

\frac{145}{3} \approx 48.33

Highest frequency is 12, so the modal class is 40–60
$l = 40$ , $h = 20$ , $f_{1} = 12$ , $f_{0} = 7$ , $f_{2} = 5$
Mode $= l + \frac{f _{1} - f _{0}}{2 f _{1} - f _{0} - f _{2}} \times h = 40 + \frac{12 - 7}{24 - 7 - 5} \times 20$
$= 40 + \frac{5}{12} \times 20 = 40 + 8.33 = 48.33$

Q32 marksVery Short AnswerCircles

In Figure 1, if tangents PA and PB drawn from a point P to a circle with centre O, are inclined to each other at an angle of $7 0^{\circ}$ , then find the measure of $∠ P O A$ .

Diagram for CBSE 2022 Class 10 Maths question 3

Show answer & solution

Answer:

∠ P O A = 5 5^{\circ}

$O A ⊥ P A$ , so $∠ O A P = 9 0^{\circ}$
OP bisects $∠ A P B$ (tangents from an external point), so $∠ O P A = 3 5^{\circ}$
In $△ O A P$ : $∠ P O A = 18 0^{\circ} - 9 0^{\circ} - 3 5^{\circ} = 5 5^{\circ}$

Q42 marksVery Short AnswerQuadratic Equations

Solve the quadratic equation $x^{2} + 3 x - 9 = 0$ for x.

Show answer & solution

Answer:

x = \frac{- 3 + 3 5}{2}

x = \frac{- 3 - 3 5}{2}

$a = 1$ , $b = 3$ , $c = - 9$
$D = 9 + 36 = 45$ , $D = 35$
$x = \frac{- 3 \pm 3 5}{2}$

Q52 marksVery Short AnswerArithmetic Progressions

In an AP, if $a = 50$ , $d = - 4$ and $S_{n} = 0$ , then find the value of $n$ .

Show answer & solution

Answer:

n = 26

$S_{n} = \frac{n}{2} [2 a + (n - 1) d] = 0$
$\frac{n}{2} [100 + (n - 1) (- 4)] = 0$
Since $n \neq = 0$ , $100 - 4 n + 4 = 0$
$4 n = 104$ , so $n = 26$

Show answer & solution

Answer: 630

The 2-digit multiples of 7 are 14, 21, 28, ... (an AP with $a = 14$ , $d = 7$ )
For $n = 12$ : $S_{12} = \frac{12}{2} [2 (14) + 11 (7)]$
$= 6 (28 + 77) = 6 \times 105 = 630$

Determine the median marks for the following data :
Marks: 0–10, 10–20, 20–30, 30–40, 40–50
Number of Students: 3, 8, 15, 10, 8

Show answer & solution

Answer:

\frac{82}{3} \approx 27.33

Cumulative frequencies: 3, 11, 26, 36, 44

Q103 marksShort AnswerSome Applications of Trigonometry

A tower stands vertically on the ground. From a point on the ground, which is 15 m away from the foot of the tower, the angle of elevation of the top of the tower is $6 0^{\circ}$ . Find the height of the tower.

Show answer & solution

Answer:

153

\approx 25.98

Let AB be the tower and C the point on the ground, with BC = 15 m
$tan 6 0^{\circ} = \frac{A B}{B C}$
$3 = \frac{A B}{15}$
$A B = 153 \approx 25.98$ m

Q124 marksLong AnswerCircles

In the given Figure 2, PQ is a tangent to the circle centred at O such that $∠ P QB = 12 0^{\circ}$ . Find the measure of $∠ Q A B$ .

Diagram for CBSE 2022 Class 10 Maths question 12

Show answer & solution

Answer:

∠ Q A B = 6 0^{\circ}

$O Q ⊥ P Q$ (radius at point of contact), so $∠ P QO = 9 0^{\circ}$
$∠ O QB = ∠ P QB - ∠ P QO = 12 0^{\circ} - 9 0^{\circ} = 3 0^{\circ}$
$O Q = O B$ (radii), so $∠ O B Q = ∠ O QB = 3 0^{\circ}$
Exterior angle: $∠ QO A = 3 0^{\circ} + 3 0^{\circ} = 6 0^{\circ}$
$O A = O Q$ , so $∠ O A Q = ∠ O Q A = \frac{18 0 ^{\circ} - 6 0 ^{\circ}}{2} = 6 0^{\circ}$
Hence $∠ Q A B = 6 0^{\circ}$

Q134 marksCase StudyArithmetic Progressions

Do you know old clothes which are thrown as waste not only fill the landfill site but also produce very harmful greenhouse gas. So, it is very important that we reuse old clothes in whatever way we can.
The picture given below on the right, shows a footmat (rug) made out of old t-shirts yarn. Observing the picture, you will notice that a number of stitches in circular rows are making a pattern : 6, 12, 18, 24, ...
Based on the above information, answer the following questions :
(a) Check whether the given pattern forms an AP. If yes, find the common difference and the next term of the AP. (2)
(b) Write the $n^{t h}$ term of the AP. Hence, find the number of stitches in the $1 0^{t h}$ circular row. (2)

Show answer & solution

Answer: (a) Yes, it is an AP; common difference 6, next term 30 (b)

a_{n} = 6 n

; 60 stitches

(a) $12 - 6 = 18 - 12 = 24 - 18 = 6$ , so the pattern is an AP with $d = 6$
Next term $= 24 + 6 = 30$
(b) $a_{n} = a + (n - 1) d = 6 + 6 (n - 1) = 6 n$
$a_{10} = 6 \times 10 = 60$ stitches

The following TV Tower was built in 1988 and is located in Pitampura, Delhi. It has an observation deck. Observe the picture given below :
The TV Tower stands vertically on the ground. From a point ‘A’ on the ground, the angle of elevation of top of the tower (point ‘B’) is $6 0^{\circ}$ . There is a point ‘C’ on the tower which is 78 m (approx.) above the ground.
The angle of elevation of the point C from point A is found to be $3 0^{\circ}$ .
(a) Draw a well-labelled figure, based on the information given above. (2)
(b) Find the height of the tower and the distance of the tower from point A. (2)

Show answer & solution

Answer: (a) Right triangle with tower BD vertical, C on BD with CD = 78 m,

∠ C A D = 3 0^{\circ}

∠ B A D = 6 0^{\circ}

(b) Height = 234 m; distance =

783 \approx 135.1

(a) Let D be the foot of the tower. Draw vertical BD, mark C on BD with CD = 78 m, A on the ground; join AC and AB with $∠ C A D = 3 0^{\circ}$ and $∠ B A D = 6 0^{\circ}$
(b) In right $△ A D C$ : $tan 3 0^{\circ} = \frac{C D}{A D}$ , so $A D = 783$ m $\approx 135.1$ m
In right $△ A D B$ : $tan 6 0^{\circ} = \frac{B D}{A D}$ , so $B D = 783 \times 3 = 234$ m
Height of tower = 234 m; distance from A = $783$ m
