= 1200 [1/2]

6. Let A( -1 , 3 ), B( 2 , p) and C( 5 , - 1 ) be 3 collinear points.

i.e. -p-1-8+15-5p=0
i.e. 6=6p
i.e. p=1 [1/2]

7. For equal roots, b2-4ac=0 [1/2]

Here, a= k, b= -k and c=1
k2- 4(k)(1)=0 [1/2]
i.e. k(k- 4)=0
i.e. k=0 or k= 4 [1/2]
rejecting k=0, we get k= 4. [1/2]

8. Perimeter of ∆ABC= AB BC CA
= AB+[ BP+CP]+CA [1/2]
= AB+BQ+CR+CA (Tangents from an external point are equal) [1/2]
= AQ+AR [1/2]
= AR+AR (Tangents from an external point are equal)
=2AR [1/2]
 9. Point R divides PQ in ratio 2:3. [1/2]
Co-ordinates of point R are given by

x = (2  - 3 + 3  2)/5=0 [1/2]

y = (2  4 + 3  -1)/5=1 [1/2]

So, the required point R is (0,1) [1/2]

10.

Tangents drawn to a circle from same external point are equal in length. So, [1/2]

AE= CE ------------ (1) [1/2]

And EB = ED ------------- (2) [1/2]

Adding (1) and (2) , we get,

AB = CD. [1/2]

SECTION – C

11. x + 12x – 45 = 0
Using the method of completing the square,
x2 +12x – 45 + 36=36 [1/2]
i.e. x2 +12x +36 =36+45

i.e. 3(7a)=42
i.e. a= 2 [1/2]

13. Let AB represent the lighthouse.

=45°and =30°

Fig [1]

In ∆ABC,
tan 45°= AB/BC
1=75/ BC
i.e. BC=75m [1]
Now, in ∆ABD,
tan 30°= AB/BD
i.e. 1/√ = 75/ (BC+CD)
i.e. 1/√ = 75/ (75 +CD)
i.e. 75+CD= 75√
i.e.CD= 75(√ )m [1]

14. Let A(-1,3), B(1,-1 and C(5,1 be the vertices of ∆ABC.

P(a king)= [1]
16.  r = 44. [1/2]
Putting r=42cm, we get = 60° [1]

Now, Area of minor segment= Area of minor sector- Area of ∆

Since = 60°, so the triangle formed will be an equilateral ∆
Area of minor segment= Area of minor sector- Area of equilateral ∆
√
i.e. Area of minor segment =  r2- a² [1]
= 924-441√ cm2 [1/2]

17. Time required to fill the conical vessel= Volume of cone / volume of water coming out of
cylindrical pipe per unit time [1/2]

= [1]
= [1/3 (40)2 72]/ (2)220  100 [1]

= 4.8 minutes [1/2]

18. Area of shaded region = Area of semicircle with diameter PS – Area of semicircle with
diameter QS + Area of semicircle with diameter PQ. [1]
So, required area = ½ (6)2 – ½ (4)2 + ½ (2)2 [1]
= ½ [ 36-16+4] cm2 [1/2]
= 37.71 cm2 [1/2]

19. No. of lead shots = [1/2]

= [1]

= [1]

= 56 [1/2]

20. Required surface area = 2 rh +2 x [2 r2] [½ + ½]

= 2 x x 3.5 x 10 + 4 (3.5)2 [1]

.e. x2 + 15x -2700=0 [1]
Solving for x we get,
x= -60 or 45 [1]
Rejecting x=-60, we get, x=45
So, x=45 km/hr [1/2]
Time = Distance / Speed
=
=2 hours [1/2]

23. (i) Cards marked with numbers which are multiples of 3 are 3, 9, 15, 21, 27, 33, 39 and 45.

[1]
x= [- p2 + q2 (p2 + q2)] / 2p2 [1/2]
x= or -1 [1]

26. Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other,

So, midpoint of AC = midpoint of BD [1/2]
i.e. ( )=( ) [1/2]
( )
i.e. =-1
i.e. k = - 3 [1/2]
Now ar ABCD= 2 Area of ∆ABD

AB= √ (1-2)2+ (-2-3)2

= √ units [1/2]

Ar (ABCD) = base x height

So, 24= √ x h
So, h= 24/√ units [1]

27.

Let FC be the lake and D be a point 100m above the lake.

Let A be the helicopter at height h metre above the lake and let E be its reflection CE = h metre
=60° , =30° and DB = x metre [1 mark for correct figure and description]

Tan 30° =

Tan 60° =

√ x = h+100

h=√ - 100 ------------------------------ (2) [1]

From equation 1 & 2

x/√ + 100 = √ - 100

x = 100√ m
and so h=200m [1]
i.e. height of the helicopter is 200m.

28. (i) Volume of each container = ( ) [1/2]

=   30( 40)

= 8800 = 88 l [1]
Total milk = 880 l

From (1) & (2)
d = 25 , a= 550
(i) = 550 [1]
(ii) = a + 9d= 550 + 9  25 = 775 [1]

(iii) = ( 2550 + 625)

31. r =7cm,h = 50  0.5 = 25cm [1/2]

Total Surface Area = 2 r (r + h) [1/2]

Volume of the box = 25 25  25 = 15625 cm3 [1/2]
Volume of the solid formed = r2 h [1/2]
