ANSWERS AND HINTS
1. (b) Given terms of an AP are
2𝑦 − 1,2𝑦 + 3 and 4𝑦 + 3
Therefore common difference of each term should be equal.
So, (2𝑦 + 3) − (2𝑦 − 1) = (4𝑦 + 3) − (2𝑦 + 3)

⇒ 4 = 2𝑦 ⇒ 𝑦 = 2
2. (d) We have, tan⁡𝛼 = √3

Comparing eqs. (1) and (2) with

So, Assertion (A) is true.
Reason (R): It is also true.
Hence, both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct
20 (b) Assertion (A): In a given table, the highest frequency is 24 , whose modal class
is 15-20.
The succeeding frequency of modal class is 16.

28 Given that 𝑎3 = 4 and 𝑎9 = −8

Let ' 𝑎 ' be the first term and ' 𝑑 ' be the common difference of the given AP.
∵ nth term of AP, 𝑎𝑛 = 𝑎 + (𝑛 − 1)𝑑
∴ ⁡𝑎3 = 𝑎 + (3 − 1)𝑑

⇒ ⁡ 𝑥 2 − 12𝑥 + 24 + 𝑝 = 0
On comparing with 𝑎𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐 = 0, we get
⁡𝑎 = 1, 𝑏 = −12, 𝑐 = 24 + 𝑝
For equal roots, 𝐷 = 0 ⇒ 𝑏2 − 4𝑎𝑐 = 0
∴ (−12)2 − 4 × 1 × (24 + 𝑝) = 0
⇒ 144 − 96 − 4𝑝 = 0

Directions (Q. Nos. 1-20): Section-A consists of 20 questions of 1 mark each.

1. The first three terms of an AP respectively are 2𝑦 − 1,2𝑦 + 3 and 4𝑦 + 3. Then 𝑦

3. If 2 and 1/2 are the zeroes of 𝑝𝑥 2 + 5𝑥 + 𝑟, then:

6. The exponent of 5 in 28125 is

8. The number of solutions of 3𝑥+𝑦 = 243 and 243 𝑥−𝑦 = 3 is:

Therefore common difference of each term should be equal.

So, (2𝑦 + 3) − (2𝑦 − 1) = (4𝑦 + 3) − (2𝑦 + 3)

2. (d) We have, tan⁡𝛼 = √3

5. (c) The prime factors of 20,25 and 30 are

6. (c) The prime factors of 28125 are

⁡⁡⁡⁡⁡⁡⁡⁡⁡⁡⁡⁡⁡∴ Exponent of ' 5 ' is 5 .

Length of diagonal 𝐴𝐶 = √(0 − 4)2 + (1 − 3)2

= √16 + 4 = √20 = 2√5 units

8 (b) Given that, 3𝑥+𝑦 = 243 = 35

Comparing eqs. (1) and (2) with

and ⁡𝑎2 𝑥 + 𝑏2 𝑦 + 𝑐2 = 0 respectively, we get

and ⁡𝑎2 = 1, 𝑏2 = −1, 𝑐2 = −1/5

Favourable outcomes = Perfect square numbers between 6 to 50 = 9,16,25,36,49

Here ⁡⁡∠BAC = ∠HCA = 60∘ ⁡ [Alternate angles]

𝐴𝐶 = 2𝐴𝐵 = 2 × √7 = 2√7 cm.

= 225 × 0.0903 cm2 = 20.32 cm2
