Question 14.
Find the LCM and HCF of 324 and 360.
Solution:
We have 324 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 22 × 34
360 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 = 23 × 32 × 51
LCM (324, 360) = 34 × 23 × 51 = 3240
HCF (324, 360) = 22 × 32 = 4 × 9 = 36

Question 15.
Find the sum and product of roots of the quadratic polynomial x2 – 4\(\sqrt{3}\)x + 9 = 0.
Solution:
Given quadratic equation is = x2 – 4\(\sqrt{3}\)x + 9 = 0
Sum of roots (α + β) = \(\frac{-b}{a}\) = \(\frac{-(-4 \sqrt{3})}{1}\) = 4\(\sqrt{3}\)
Product of roots (αβ) = \(\frac{c}{a}\) = \(\frac{9}{1}\) = 9.

Question 16.
Find the probability that there are 53 Sundays in a leap year.
Solution:
A leap year contains 52 weeks and 2 days.
So, 52 Sundays are guaranteed and for our event one of the two days should be Sunday.
S = {(Sun, Mon), (Mon, Tue), (Tue, Wed), (Wed, Thu), (Thu, Fri), (Fri, Sat), (Sat, Sun)}
Out of all the 7 possible outcomes only 2 outcomes (Sun, Mon) and (Sat, Sim) will favour our event.
So, required probability = \(\frac{2}{7}\)

AP 10th Class Maths Model Paper Set 3 with Solutions 9

Question 18.
Find the slope of AB with given end points (-a, a) and (0, a + a\(\sqrt{3}\)).
Solution:
Points of a line are (-a, a) and (0, a + a\(\sqrt{3}\))
The slope of the line m = \(\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\)
= \(\frac{(a+a \sqrt{3})-a}{0-(-a)}\) = \(\frac{a+a \sqrt{3}-a}{a}\) = \(\frac{a \sqrt{3}}{a}\) = \(\sqrt{3}\)
∴ Slope of the given line is \(\sqrt{3}\).

Question 21.
Find two numbers whose sum is 27 and product is 182.
Solution:
Sum of two numbers = 27
Let one number be x
Second number = 27 – x ………. (1)
Product = 182 …… (2)
x(27 – x) = 182
27x – x2 = 182
27x – x2 – 182 = 0
x2 – 27x + 182 = 0
x2 – 13x – 14x + 182 = 0
x(x -13) – 14 (x – 13) = 0
(x – 13)(x – 14) = 0
x -13 = 0 or x -14 = 0
x – 13 = 0 gives x = 13
If first number is 13 second number = 27 – 13 = 14
x – 14 = 0 gives x = 14
If first number is 14, second number = 27 – 14 = 13
Therefore two numbers are 13 and 14.

Question 22.
If x2 + y2 = 25xy then prove that 2 log (x + y) = 3 log 3 + log x + log y.
Solution:
Given x2 + y2 = 25xy
Adding 2xy both sides
x2 + y2 + 2xy = 25xy + 2xy
log (x + y)2 = 27xy
Taking ‘log’ on both sides
log (x + y)2 = log (27xy)
We know that
logaxn = nlogax
2 log(x + y) = log 27 + log x + log y
logaxyz = logax + logay + logaz
27 = 9 × 3 = 3 × 3 × 3 = 33
2log(x + y) = log 33 + log x + log y
2log(x + y) = 3 log 3 + log x + log y

Question 24.
Show that tan2θ + tan4θ = sec4θ – sec2θ.
Solution:
LHS = tan2θ + tan4θ = tan2θ (1 + tan2θ)
= tan2θ . sec2θ [∵ sec2θ – tan2θ = 1]
= (sec2θ – 1) . sec2θ = sec4θ – sec2θ = RHS

Question 25.
A solid iron rod has a cylindrical shape. Its height is 11 cm. and base diameter is 7 cm. Then find the total volume of 50 rods?
Solution:
Height of cylindrical rod (h) = 11 cm
Base diameter of it (d) = 7 cm
∴ Its radius (r) = \(\frac{d}{2}\) = \(\frac{7}{2}\) cm
Volume of the rod = πr2h
= \(\frac{22}{7}\) × \(\frac{7}{2}\) × \(\frac{7}{2}\) × 11 cm3 = \(\frac{847}{2}\) cm3
Total volume of 50 such rods 847
= 50 × \(\frac{847}{2}\) cm3 = 25 × 847 cm3 = 21175 cm3

Question 26.
A manufacturer of TV sets produced 600 sets in the third year and 700 sets in the seventh year. Assuming that the production increases uniformly by a fixed number every year. Find :
i) the production in the 1st year
ii) the production in the 10th year
Solution:
i) Since the production increases uniformly by a fixed number every year, the number of TV sets manufactured in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, . . . , years will form an AP.
In AP,
AP 10th Class Maths Model Paper Set 3 with Solutions 13
Substitute the value of d in equation (1)
a + 2(25) = 600
a + 50 = 600
a = 600 – 50 = 550

ii) Now,
a10 = a + 9d = 550 + 9 × 25 = 550 + 225 = 775
So, production of TV sets in the 10th year is 775.

Question 27.
Solve \(\frac{2}{x}\) + \(\frac{3}{y}\) = 13; \(\frac{5}{x}\) – \(\frac{4}{y}\) = -2 where x ≠ 0 ; y ≠ 0 by reducing them to a pair of linear equations
Solution:
2\(\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)\) + 3\(\left(\frac{1}{y}\right)\) = 13 ……… (1)
5\(\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)\) – 4\(\left(\frac{1}{y}\right)\) = 13 ……… (2)
If we substitute \(\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)\) = p and \(\left(\frac{1}{y}\right)\) = q we get a pair of linear equations :
2 p + 3 q = 13
5 p – 4 q = -2
Elimination Method:
AP 10th Class Maths Model Paper Set 3 with Solutions 14
Substitute the value of p in (3)
2 (2) + 3q = 13
4 + 3q = 13
3q = 13 – 4
3q = 9
∴ q = \(\frac{9}{3}\) = 3
But \(\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)\) = p ⇒ \(\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)\) = 2 ⇒ x = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\left(\frac{1}{y}\right)\) = q ⇒ \(\left(\frac{1}{y}\right)\) = 2 ⇒ y = \(\frac{1}{3}\)

Question 28.

AP 10th Class Maths Model Paper Set 3 with Solutions 4
Solution:
Given: AB, CD, PQ are perpendicular to BD.
AB = x, CD= y and PQ = z
To prove: \(\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)\) + \(\left(\frac{1}{y}\right)\) = \(\left(\frac{1}{z}\right)\)
Proof: In ∆PQB and ∆CDB we have
∠PQB = ∠CDB = 90 [given]
∠B = ∠B [common angle]
∴ By AA criterion of similarity, ∆PQB ~ ∆CDB

Question 29.
Prove that \(\sqrt{2}\) + \(\sqrt{3}\) is irrational.
(OR)
i) Is the empty set subset to every set ?
ii) Is any set subset to itself ?
iii) You are given two sets such that a set is not a subject of the other. If you have to prove this how do you prove ? Justify your answers.
Solution:
Let us suppose that \(\sqrt{2}\) + \(\sqrt{3}\) is rational.
Let \(\sqrt{2}\) + \(\sqrt{3}\) = \(\frac{a}{b}\), where a, b are integers and b ≠ 0
Therefore,
Squaring on both sides, we get
AP 10th Class Maths Model Paper Set 3 with Solutions 16
Since a, b are integers, \(\frac{a^2+b^2}{2 a b}\) is rational, and so, \(\sqrt{3}\) is irrational.
This contradicts the fact that \(\sqrt{3}\) is irrational.
Hence, \(\sqrt{2}\) + \(\sqrt{3}\) is irrational.

(OR)

i) Yes, empty set is subset to everyset.
ii) Yes. Every set is subset to itself.
iii) If A and B are any two sets such that A ⊊ B orB ⊆ B.

It is enough to prove that there exists at least one element in A which is not present in B. i.e., Ex: x ∈ A and x ∈ B
Similarly to prove B ⊊ A

(OR)

When a die is thrown, sample space S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

i) Let A denotes the event of getting a prime number. Then A = {2, 3, 5}
So, required probability = P(A)
= \(\frac{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{A})}{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{S})}\) = \(\frac{3}{6}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
ii) Let B denote the event of getting a number between 2 and 6.
Then, B = {3,4,5}
∴ Required probability = P(B)
= \(\frac{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{B})}{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{S})}\) = \(\frac{3}{6}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)

iii) Let C denotes the event of getting an odd number. Then C = {1, 3, 5}
