 Marking Scheme
Strictly Confidential
(For Internal and Restricted use only)
Secondary School Examination, 2024
MATHEMATICS PAPER CODE 30/2/1

General Instructions: -

1 You are aware that evaluation is the most important process in the actual and correct
assessment of the candidates. A small mistake in evaluation may lead to serious problems
which may affect the future of the candidates, education system and teaching profession. To
avoid mistakes, it is requested that before starting evaluation, you must read and understand
the spot evaluation guidelines carefully.
2 “Evaluation policy is a confidential policy as it is related to the confidentiality of the
examinations conducted, Evaluation done and several other aspects. Its’ leakage to public in
any manner could lead to derailment of the examination system and affect the life and future
of millions of candidates. Sharing this policy/document to anyone, publishing in any magazine
and printing in News Paper/Website etc may invite action under various rules of the Board and
IPC.”
3 Evaluation is to be done as per instructions provided in the Marking Scheme. It should not be done
according to one’s own interpretation or any other consideration. Marking Scheme should be strictly
adhered to and religiously followed. However, while evaluating, answers which are based on
latest information or knowledge and/or are innovative, they may be assessed for their
correctness otherwise and due marks be awarded to them. In class- X, while evaluating two
competency-based questions, please try to understand given answer and even if reply is not
from marking scheme but correct competency is enumerated by the candidate, due marks
should be awarded.
4 The Marking scheme carries only suggested value points for the answers
These are in the nature of Guidelines only and do not constitute the complete answer. The
students can have their own expression and if the expression is correct, the due marks should
be awarded accordingly.
5 The Head-Examiner must go through the first five answer books evaluated by each evaluator on the
first day, to ensure that evaluation has been carried out as per the instructions given in the Marking
Scheme. If there is any variation, the same should be zero after deliberation and discussion. The
remaining answer books meant for evaluation shall be given only after ensuring that there is no
significant variation in the marking of individual evaluators.
6 Evaluators will mark (√ ) wherever answer is correct. For wrong answer CROSS ‘X” be
marked. Evaluators will not put right (✓) while evaluating which gives an impression that
answer is correct and no marks are awarded. This is most common mistake which
evaluators are committing.
7 If a question has parts, please award marks on the right-hand side for each part. Marks
awarded for different parts of the question should then be totalled up and written in the left-
hand margin and encircled. This may be followed strictly.
8 If a question does not have any parts, marks must be awarded in the left-hand margin and
encircled. This may also be followed strictly.

9 In Q1-Q20, if a candidate attempts the question more than once (without canceling the previous
attempt), marks shall be awarded for the first attempt only and the other answer scored out
with a note “Extra Question”.
10 In Q21-Q38, if a student has attempted an extra question, answer of the question deserving
more marks should be retained and the other answer scored out with a note “Extra Question”.
11 No marks to be deducted for the cumulative effect of an error. It should be penalized only once.
12 A full scale of marks __________ (example 0 to 80/70/60/50/40/30 marks as given in
Question Paper) has to be used. Please do not hesitate to award full marks if the answer
deserves it.
13 Every examiner has to necessarily do evaluation work for full working hours i.e., 8 hours
every day and evaluate 20 answer books per day in main subjects and 25 answer books per
day in other subjects (Details are given in Spot Guidelines). This is in view of the reduced
syllabus and number of questions in question paper.
14 Ensure that you do not make the following common types of errors committed by the
Examiner in the past :-
● Leaving answer or part thereof unassessed in an answer book.
● Giving more marks for an answer than assigned to it.
● Wrong totalling of marks awarded on an answer.
● Wrong transfer of marks from the inside pages of the answer book to the title page.
● Wrong question wise totalling on the title page.
● Wrong totalling of marks of the two columns on the title page.
● Wrong grand total.
● Marks in words and figures not tallying/not same.
● Wrong transfer of marks from the answer book to online award list.
● Answers marked as correct, but marks not awarded. (Ensure that the right tick mark is
correctly and clearly indicated. It should merely be a line. Same is with the X for
incorrect answer.)
● Half or a part of answer marked correct and the rest as wrong, but no marks awarded.
15 While evaluating the answer books if the answer is found to be totally incorrect, it should be
marked as cross (X) and awarded zero (0) Marks.
16 Any un assessed portion, non-carrying over of marks to the title page, or totalling error
detected by the candidate shall damage the prestige of all the personnel engaged in the
evaluation work as also of the Board. Hence, in order to uphold the prestige of all concerned,
it is again reiterated that the instructions be followed meticulously and judiciously.
17 The Examiners should acquaint themselves with the guidelines given in the “Guidelines for
spot Evaluation” before starting the actual evaluation.
18 Every Examiner shall also ensure that all the answers are evaluated, marks carried over to
the title page, correctly totalled and written in figures and words.
19 The candidates are entitled to obtain photocopy of the Answer Book on request on payment
of the prescribed processing fee. All Examiners/Additional Head Examiners/Head
Examiners are once again reminded that they must ensure that evaluation is carried out
strictly as per value points for each answer as given in the Marking Scheme.

In this section, there are 5 questions of 2 marks each.

21.

Sol. 𝟏𝟓𝐧 = 𝟓𝐧 × 𝟑𝐧 1
A number ends with zero if it has two prime factors 2 and 5 both. Since 𝟏𝟓𝐧
does not have 2 as a prime factor, so it can’t end with zero 1

Sol. A (1, 0) B (– 5,0) C(– 2,5)

AB = √(−5 − 1)2 + (0 − 0)2 = 6 ½

BC = √(−5 + 2)2 + (0 − 5)2 = √34
½
CA = √(1 + 2)2 + (0 − 5)2 = √34

∴ BC = CA ½

So, ∆ABC is isosceles.

OA = OC
∠OAC = ∠OCA ½
Also, ∠OAB = ∠OCD
⟹ ∠OAC + ∠OAB = ∠OCA + ∠OCD ½

26(b).

Sol. Let the numbers be a − d, a, a + d ½

½
∴ a − d + a + a + d = 24
⟹a=8
Also, (a − d)2 + a2 + (a + d)2 = 194
⟹ (8 − d)2 + 82 + (8 + d)2 = 194 1
⟹ d2 = 1 ⟹ d = ±1
½
∴ Numbers are 7, 8, 9 or 9,8,7 ½

27.

Sol. Let √𝟓 be a rational number.

𝐩 ½
∴ √𝟓 = , where q≠0 and let p & q be co-prime.
𝐪
5q2 = p2 ⟹ p2 is divisible by 5 ⟹ p is divisible by 5 ----- (i) 1
⟹ p = 5a, where ‘a’ is some integer
25a2 = 5q2 ⟹ q2 = 5a2 ⟹q2 is divisible by 5 ⟹ q is divisible by 5 ----- (ii) 1
(i) and (ii) leads to contradiction as ‘p’ and ‘q’ are co-prime. ½
∴ √𝟓 is an irrational number.
