Question 1.
If HCF (336, 54) = 6, find LCM (336, 54). [1]
Solution:
Given, HCF (336, 54) = 6
We know,
HCF × LCM = one number × other number
⇒ 6 × LCM = 336 × 54
⇒ LCM = \frac { 336\times 54 }{ 6 } = 336 × 9 = 3024

Question 2.
Find the nature of roots of the quadratic equation 2x2 – 4x + 3 = 0. [1]
Solution:
Given, 2x2 – 4x + 3 = 0

Section – C

Question 13.
Prove that 2 + 5√3 is an irrational number, given that √3 is an irrational number. [3]
OR
Using Euclid’s Algorithm, find the HCF of 2048 and 960.
Solution:
Let 2 + 5√3 = r, where, r is rational.
⇒ (2 + 5√3)2 = r2
⇒ 4 + 75 + 20√3 = r2
⇒ 79 + 20√3 = r2
⇒ 20√3 = r2 – 79
⇒ √3 = \frac { { r }^{ 2 }-79 }{ 20 }
Now, \frac { { r }^{ 2 }-79 }{ 20 } is a rational number. So, √3 must also be a rational number.
But √3 is an irrational number (Given).
So, our assumption is wrong.
2 + 5√3 is an irrational number.
Hence Proved.
OR
Step I:
Here 2048 > 960 so, On applying Euclid’s algorithm, we get
2048 = 960 × 2 + 128
Step II:
Because remainder 128 ≠ 0, so, On applying Euclid’s algorithm between 960 and 128, we get
960 = 128 × 7 + 64
Step III:
Again remainder 64 ≠ 0, so
128 = 64 × 2 + 0
Here remainder is 0. So, the process ends here. And the dividend is 64 so, required HCF is 64.

Question 14.
Two right triangles ABC and DBC are drawn on the same hypotenuse BC and on the same side of BC. If AC and BD intersect at P, prove that AP × PC = BP × DP. [3]

Solution:
Given, PQ || RS
To prove: ∠AOB = 90°
CBSE Previous Year Question Papers Class 10 Maths 2019 (Outside Delhi) Set I Q15.1
Construction: Join O and C, D and E
In ∆ODA and ∆OCA
OD = OC (radii of circle)
OA = OA (common)
AD = AC (tangent drawn from the same point)
By SSS congruency
∆ODA = ∆OCA
Then, ∠DOA = ∠AOC …(i)
Similarly, in ∆EOB and ∆BOC, we have
∆EOB = ∆BOC
∠EOB = ∠BOC …(ii)
EOD is a diameter of the circle, therefore it is a straight line.
Hence, ∠DOA + ∠AOC + ∠EOB + ∠BOC = 180°
⇒ 2(∠AOC) + 2(∠BOC) = 180°
⇒ ∠AOC + ∠BOC = 90°
⇒ ∠AOB = 90°.
Hence Proved.

BD = 2r
CBSE Previous Year Question Papers Class 10 Maths 2019 (Outside Delhi) Set I Q18.4
In ∆BDC,
BD2 = DC2 + BC2
⇒ 4r2 = 2(DC)2 (∵ DC = CB = Side = 2√2 )
⇒ 4r2 = 2 × 2√2 × 2√2
⇒ 4r2 = 8 × 2
⇒ 4r2 = 16
⇒ r2 = 4
⇒ r = 2 cm
Area of square BCDA = Side × Side = DC × BC = 2√2 × 2√2 = 8 cm2
Area of circle = πr2 = 3.14 × 2 × 2 = 12.56 cm2
Area of shaded region = Area of circle – Area of square. = 12.56 – 8 = 4.56 cm2

Solution:
Given, equation is x2 + px + 16 = 0
This is of the form ax2 + bx + c = 0
where, a = 1, b = p and c = 16
D = b2 – 4ac = p2 – 4 × 1 × 16 = p2 – 64
for equal roots, we have D = 0
p2 – 64 = 0
⇒ p2 = 64
⇒ p = ±8
Putting p = 8 in given equation we have,
x2 + 8x + 16 = 0
⇒ (x + 4)2 = 0
⇒ x + 4 = 0
⇒ x = -4
Now, putting p = -8 in the given equation, we get
x2 – 8x + 16 = 0
⇒ (x – 4)2 = 0
⇒ x = 4
Required roots are -4 and -4 or 4 and 4.

CBSE Previous Year Question Papers Class 10 Maths 2019 (Outside Delhi) Set I Q25
Volume of AB pole = πr1h1 = 3.14 × 12 × 12 × 220 = 99475.2 cm3
Volume of CD pole = πr2h2 = 3.14 × 8 × 8 × 60 = 12057.6 cm3
Total volume of the poles = 99475.2 + 12057.6 = 111532.8 cm3
It is given that,
Mass of 1 cm3 of iron = 8 gm
Then mass of 111532.8 cm3 of iron = 111532.8 × 8 gm
Then total mass of the pole is = 111532.8 × 8 gm = 892262.4 gm = 892.2624 kg

Question 29.
Which term of the Arithmetic Progression -7, -12, -17, -22,…..will be -82? Is -100 any term of the A.P.? Give a reason for your answer. [4]
OR
How many terms of the Arithmetic Progression 45, 39, 33, …. must be taken so that their sum is 180? Explain the double answer.
Solution:
-7, -12, -17, -22, …….
Here a = -7, d = -12 – (-7) = -12 + 7 = -5
Let Tn = -82
Tn = a + (n – 1) d
⇒ -82 = -7 + (n – 1) (-5)
⇒ -82 = -7 – 5n + 5
⇒ -82 = -2 – 5n
⇒ -82 + 2 = -5n
⇒ -80 = -5n
⇒ n = 16
Therefore, 16th term will be -82.
Let Tn = -100
Again, Tn = a + (n -1) d
⇒ -100 = -7 + (n – 1) (-5)
⇒ -100 = -7 – 5n + 5
⇒ -100 = – 2 – 5n
⇒ -100 + 2 = -5n
⇒ -98 = -5n
⇒ n = \frac { 98 }{ 5 }
But the number of terms can not be in fraction.
So, -100 can not be the term of this A.P.
OR
45, 39, 33, …..
Here a = 45, d = 39 – 45 = -6
Let Sn = 180
\frac { n }{ 2 } [ 2a + (n – 1) d] = 180
\frac { n }{ 2 } [2 × 45 + (n – 1) (-6)] = 180
\frac { n }{ 2 } [90 – 6n + 6] = 180
\frac { n }{ 2 } [96 – 6n] = 180
⇒ n(96 – 6n) = 360
⇒ 96n – 6n2 = 360
⇒ 6n2 – 96n + 360 = 0
On dividing the above equation by 6
⇒ n2 – 16n + 60 = 0
⇒ n2 – 10n – 6n + 60 = 0
⇒ n(n – 10) – 6 (n – 10) = 0
⇒ (n – 10) (n – 6) = 0
⇒ n = 10, 6
Sum of first 10 terms = Sum of first 6 terms = 180
This means that the sum of all terms from 7th to 10th is zero.

Question 30.
In a class test, the sum of Aran’s marks in Hindi and English is 30. Had he got 2 marks more in Hindi and 3 marks less in English, the product of the marks would have been 210. Find his marks in the two subjects. [4]
Solution:
Let Aran marks in Hindi be x and marks in English be y.
Then, according to question, we have
x + y = 30 …(i)
(x + 2)(y – 3) = 210 …(ii)
from equation (i) put x = 30 – y in equation (ii)
(30 – y + 2) (y – 3) = 210
⇒ (32 – y) (y – 3) = 210
⇒ 32y – 96 – y2 + 3y = 210
⇒ y2 – 35y + 306 = 0
⇒ y2 – 18y – 17y + 306 = 0
⇒ y(y – 18) – 17(y – 18) = 0
⇒ (y – 18) (y – 17) = o
⇒ y = 18, 17
Put y = 18 and 17 in equation (i), we get x = 12, 13

CBSE Previous Year Question Papers Class 10 Maths 2019 (Outside Delhi) Set II Q13
Since, point A(2, -4) lies on line 3x + k (y + 1) = 0.
Therefore it will satisfy the equation.
On putting x = 2 and y = -4 in the equation, we get
3 × 2 + k(-4 + 1) = 0
⇒ 6 – 3k = 0
⇒ 3k = 6
⇒ k = 2

Question 14.
Solve for x: x2 + 5x – (a2 + a – 6) = 0 [3]
Solution:
Taking (a2 + a – 6)
= a2 + 3a – 2a – 6
= a(a + 3) – 2 (a + 3)
= (a + 3) (a – 2)
x2 + 5x – (a + 3) (a – 2) = 0
⇒ x2 + (a + 3)x – (a – 2)x – (a + 3)(a – 2) = 0
⇒  x[x + (a + 3)] – (a – 2) [x + (a + 3)] = 0
⇒ (x – a + 2)(x + a + 3) = 0
Hence, x – a + 2 = 0 and x + a + 3 = 0
x = a – 2 and x = -(a + 3)
Required values of x are (a – 2), -(a + 3)

Question 15.
Find A and B if sin (A + 2B) = \frac { \surd 3 }{ 2 } and cos (A + 4B) = 0, where A and B are acute angles. [3]
Solution:
Given,
sin (A + 2B) = \frac { \surd 3 }{ 2 } and cos (A + 4B) = 0
⇒ sin (A + 2B) = 60° (∵ sin 60° = \frac { \surd 3 }{ 2 })
A + 2B =60 …(i)
cos (A + 4B) = cos 90° (∵ cos 90° = 0)
⇒ A + 4B = 90° …(ii)
On solving equation (i) and (ii), we get
B = 15° and A = 30°

Question 24.
Two poles of equal heights are standing opposite to each other on either side of the road which is 80 m wide. From a point P between them on the road, the angle of elevation of the top of a pole is 60° and the angle of depression from the top of the other pole of point P is 30°. Find the heights of the poles and the distance of the point P from the poles. [4]
Solution:
Let AC is the road of 80 m width. P is the point on road AC and height of poles AB and CD is h m.
CBSE Previous Year Question Papers Class 10 Maths 2019 (Outside Delhi) Set II Q24
⇒ h = \frac { 80-x }{ \surd 3 } …… (ii)
Equating the values of h from equation (i) and (ii) we get
⇒ x√3 = \frac { 80-x }{ \surd 3 }
⇒ 3x = 80 – x
⇒ 4x = 80
⇒ x = 20m
On putting x = 20 in equation (i), we get
h = √3 × 20 = 20√3
h = 20√3 m
Thus, height of poles is 20√3 m and point P is at a distance of 20 m from left pole and (80 – 20) i.e., 60 m from right pole.

Question 25.
The total cost of a certain length of a piece of cloth is ₹ 200. If the piece was 5 m longer and each metre of cloth costs ₹ 2 less, the cost of the piece would have remained unchanged. How long is the piece and what is its original rate per metre? [4]
Solution:
Let the original length of the piece of cloth is x m and rate of cloth is ₹ y per metre.
Then according to question, we have
x × y = 200 …(i)
and if length be 5 m longer and each meter of cloth be ₹ 2 less then
(x + 5) (y – 2) = 200
⇒ (x + 5) (y – 2) = 200
⇒ xy – 2x + 5y – 10 = 200 …(ii)
On equating equation (i) and (ii), we have
xy = xy – 2x + 5y – 10
⇒ 2x – 5y = -10 …… (iii)
⇒ y = \frac { 200 }{ x } from equation (i)
⇒ 2x – 5 × \frac { 200 }{ x } = -10
⇒ 2x – \frac { 1000 }{ x } = -10
⇒ 2x2 – 1000 = -10x
⇒ 2x2 + 10x – 1000 = 0
⇒ x2 + 5x – 500 = 0
⇒ x2 + 25x – 20x – 500 = 0
⇒ x(x + 25) – 20 (x + 25) = 0
⇒ (x + 25) (x – 20) = 0
⇒ x = 20 (x ≠ -25 length of cloth can never be negative)
∴ x × y = 200
20 × y = 200
y = 10
Thus, length of the piece of cloth is 20 m and original price per metre is ₹ 10.

Both spheres are made by same metal, then their densities will be same.
Let radius of bigger sphere = r’ then,
CBSE Previous Year Question Papers Class 10 Maths 2019 (Outside Delhi) Set III Q15.1
Then according to question, we have,
Volume of bigger sphere + Volume of smaller shpere = Volume of new sphere.
\frac { 4 }{ 3 } (r’)3 + \frac { 4 }{ 3 } (r)3 = \frac { 4 }{ 3 } (R)3
⇒ r’3 + r3 = R3
⇒ 189 + 27 = R3
⇒ 216 = R3
⇒ R = 6
D = 6 × 2 = 12
Radius of new sphere is 6 cm.
So, the diameter is 12 cm.

Solution:
Given, ∆ABC in which AC2 = AB2 + BC2
CBSE Previous Year Question Papers Class 10 Maths 2019 (Outside Delhi) Set III Q23
To prove: ∠B = 90°
Consturction : Draw a ∆DEF such that
DE = AB, EF = BC and ∠E = 90°.
Proof: In ∆DEF we have ∠E = 90°
So, by Pythagoras theorem, we have
DF2 = DE2 + EF2
⇒ DF2 = AB2 + BC2 …(i)
(∵ DE = AB and EF = BC)
AC2 = AB2 + BC2 …(ii) (Given)
From equation (i) and (ii), we get
AC2 = DF2 ⇒ AC = DF.
Now, in ∆ABC and ∆DEF, we have
AB = DE, BC = EF and AC = DF.
∆ABC = ∆DEF.
Hence, ∠B = ∠E = 90°.
Hence Proved.

Question 25.
A right cylindrical container of radius 6 cm and height 15 cm is full of ice-cream, which has to be distributed to 10 children in equal cones having a hemispherical shape on the top. If the height of the conical portion is four times its base radius, find the radius of the ice-cream cone. [4]
Solution:
Let R and H be the radius and height of the cylinder.
Given, R = 6 cm, H = 15 cm.
Volume of ice-cream in the cylinder = πR2H = π × 36 × 15 = 540π cm3
Let the radius of cone be r cm
Height of the cone (h) = 4r
Radius of hemispherical portion = r cm.
Volume of ice-cream in cone = Volume of cone + Volume of the hemisphere
CBSE Previous Year Question Papers Class 10 Maths 2019 (Outside Delhi) Set III Q25
Number of ice cream cones distributed to the children = 10
⇒ 10 × Volume of ice-cream in each cone = Volume of ice-cream in cylindrical container
⇒ 10 × 2πr3 = 540π
⇒ 20r3 = 540
⇒ r3 = 27
⇒ r = 3
Thus, the radius of the ice-cream cone is 3 cm.
