Section – A

Question 1.
What is the common difference of an A.P. in which a21 – a7 = 84 ? [1]
Solution:
Given, a21 – a7 = 84
⇒ (a + 20d) – (a + 6d) = 84
⇒ a + 20d – a – 6d = 84
⇒ 20d – 6d = 84
⇒ 14d = 84
Hence common difference = 6

Question 2.
If the angle between two tangents drawn from an external point P to a circle of radius a and centre O, is 60°, then find the length of OP. [1]
Solution:
Given, ∠APB = 60°
∠APO = 30°
CBSE Previous Year Question Papers Class 10 Maths 2017 Outside Delhi Term 2 Set I Q2
In right angle ΔOAP,
\frac { OP }{ OA } = cosec 30°
\frac { OP }{ a } = 2
⇒ OP = 2a

Question 3.
If a tower 30 m high, casts a shadow 10√3 m long on the ground, then what is the angle of elevation of the sun? [1]

CBSE Previous Year Question Papers Class 10 Maths 2017 Outside Delhi Term 2 Set I Q7
Draw OM ⊥ AB, and join OA and OB.
In ∆OAM and ∆OMB,
OA = OB (Radii)
OM = OM (Common)
∠OMA = ∠OMB (Each 90°)
∆OAM = ∆OMB (By R.H.S. Congurency)
∠OAM = ∠OBM (C.PC.T.)
Also, ∠OAP = ∠OBR = 90° (Line joining point of contact of tangent to centre is perpendicular on it)
On addition,
∠OAM + ∠OAP = ∠OBM + ∠OBR
⇒ ∠PAB = ∠RBA
⇒ ∠PAQ – ∠PAB = ∠RBS – ∠RBA
⇒ ∠QAB = ∠SBA
Hence Proved

Question 8.
A circle touches all the four sides of a quadrilateral ABCD. Prove that AB + CD = BC + DA [2]
Solution:
Given, a quad. ABCD and a circle touch its all four sides at P, Q, R, and S respectively.
CBSE Previous Year Question Papers Class 10 Maths 2017 Outside Delhi Term 2 Set I Q8
To prove: AB + CD = BC + DA
Now, L.H.S. = AB + CD
= AP + PB + CR + RD
= AS + BQ + CQ + DS (Tangents from same external point are always equal)
= (AS + SD) + (BQ + QC)
= AD + BC
= R.H.S.
Hence Proved.

Question 9.
A line intersects the y-axis and x-axis at the points P and Q respectively. If (2, -5) is the mid-point of PQ, then find the coordinates of P and Q. [2]

⇒ x2 + 25 – 10x + y2 + 1 – 2y = x2 + 1 + 2x + y2 + 25 – 10y
⇒ -10x – 2y = 2x – 10y
⇒ -10x – 2x = -10y + 2y
⇒ 12x = 8y
⇒ 3x = 2y
Hence Proved.

Section – C

Question 11.
If ad ≠ bc, then prove that the equation (a2 + b2) x2 + 2 (ac + bd) x + (c2 + d2) = 0 has no real roots. [3]
Solution:
Given, ad ≠ bc
(a2 + b2) x2 + 2(ac + bd)x + (c2 + d2) = 0
D = b2 – 4ac
= [2(ac + bd)]2 – 4 (a2 + b2) (c2 + d2)]
= 4[a2c2 + b2d2 + 2abcd] – 4(a2c2 + a2d2 + b2c2 + b2d2)
= 4[a2c2 + b2d2 + 2abcd – a2c2 – a2d2 – b2c2 – b2d2]
= 4[-a2d2 – b2c2 + 2abcd]
= -4[a2d2 + b2c2 – 2abcd]
= -4[ad – bc]2
D is negative
Hence given equation has no real roots.
Hence Proved.

Question 12.
The first term of an A.E is 5, the last term is 45 and the sum of all its terms is 400. Find the number of terms and the common difference of the A.P. [3]
Solution:
Given, a = 5, an = 45, Sn = 400
We have, Sn = \frac { n }{ 2 } [a + an]
⇒ 400 = \frac { n }{ 2 } [5 + 45]
⇒ 400 = \frac { n }{ 2 } [50]
⇒ 25n = 400
⇒ n = 16
Now, an = a + (n – 1) d
⇒ 45 = 5 + (16 – 1)d
⇒ 45 – 5 = 15d
⇒ 15d = 40
⇒ d = \frac { 8 }{ 3 }
So n = 16 and d = \frac { 8 }{ 3 }

Question 13.

Let no. of black balls = x
Total balls = (15 + x)
According to the question,
P(Blackball) = 3 × P(White ball)
\frac { x }{ 15+x } = 3 × \frac { 15 }{ 15+x }
⇒ x = 45
No. of black balls in bag = 45

Question 18.
Water in a canal, 5-4 m wide and 1.8 m deep, is flowing with a speed of 25 km/hour. How much area can it irrigate in 40 minutes, if 10 cm of standing water is required for irrigation ? [3]
Solution:
Width of canal = 5.4 m
Depth of canal = 1.8 m
Length of water in canal for 1 hr = 25 km = 25000 m
Volume of water flown out from canal in 1 hr = l × b × h = 5.4 × 1.8 × 25000 = 243000 m3
Volume of water for 40 min = 243000 × \frac { 40 }{ 60 } = 162000 m3
Area to be irrigated with 10 cm standing water in field = \frac { Volume }{ Height }
= \frac { 162000\times 100 }{ 10 } m2
= 1620000 m2
= 162 hectare

CBSE Previous Year Question Papers Class 10 Maths 2017 Outside Delhi Term 2 Set I Q25.1
To prove: ∠AOB = 90°
Construction: Join OC.
Proof: In ∆OPA and ∆OCA,
OP = OC (Radii)
∠OPA = ∠OCA (Radius ⊥ Tangent)
OA = OA (Common)
∆OPA = ∆OCA (CPCT)
∠1 = ∠2 ...(i)
Similarly, ∆OQB = ∆OCB
∠3 = ∠4 ...(ii)
Also, POQ is a diameter of circle
∠POQ = 180° (Straight angle)
∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3 + ∠4 = 180°
From eq. (i) and (ii),
∠2 + ∠2 + ∠3 + ∠3 = 180°
⇒ 2(∠2 + ∠3) = 180°
⇒ ∠2 + ∠3 = 90°
Hence, ∠AOB = 90°
Hence Proved.

Question 26.
Construct a triangle ABC with side BC = 7 cm, ∠B = 45°, ∠A = 105°. Then construct another triangle whose sides are \frac { 3 }{ 4 } times the corresponding sides of the ∆ABC. [4]
Solution:
BC = 7 cm, ∠B = 45°, ∠A = 105°
∠C = 180 ° - (∠B + ∠A) = 180° - (45° + 105°) = 180° - 150° = 30°
CBSE Previous Year Question Papers Class 10 Maths 2017 Outside Delhi Term 2 Set I Q26
Steps of construction:

  1. Draw a line segment BC = 7 cm.
  2. Draw an angle 45° at B and 30° at C. They intersect at A.
  3. Draw an acute angle at B.
  4. Divide angle ray in 4 equal parts as B1, B2, B3 and B4.
  5. Join B4 to C.
  6. From By draw a line parallel to B4C intersecting BC at C'.
  7. Draw another line parallel to CA from C' intersecting AB ray at A.
    Hence, ∆A'BC' is required triangle such that ∆A'BC' ~ ∆ABC with A'B = \frac { 3 }{ 4 } AB.

Question 10.
For what value of n, are the terms of two A.Ps 63, 65, 67,.... and 3, 10, 17,.... equal ? [2]
Solution:
1st A.P. is 63, 65, 67,...
a = 63, d = 65 - 63 = 2
an = a + (n - 1 )d = 63 + (n - 1) 2 = 63 + 2n - 2 = 61 + 2n
2nd A.E is 3, 10, 17,...
a = 3, d = 10 - 3 = 7
an = a + (n - 1 )d = 3 + (n - 1) 7 = 3 + 7n - 7 = 7n - 4
According to question,
61 + 2n = 7n - 4
⇒ 61 + 4 = 7n - 2n
⇒ 65 = 5n
⇒ n = 13
Hence, 13th term of both A.P. is equal.

CBSE Previous Year Question Papers Class 10 Maths 2017 Outside Delhi Term 2 Set III Q29
⇒ 4 (2x - 6) = x2 - 6x
⇒ 8x - 24 = x2 - 6x
⇒ x2 - 14x + 24 = 0
⇒ x2 - 12x - 2x + 24 = 0
⇒ x(x - 12) - 2(x - 12) = 0
⇒ (x - 12) (x - 2) = 0
Either x - 12 = 0 or x - 2 = 0
x = 12 or x = 2 (Rejected)
B can finish work in 12 days
A can finish work in 6 days.

Question 31.
In the given figure, O is the centre of the circle with AC = 24 cm, AB = 7 cm and ∠BOD = 90°. Find the area of the shaded region. [4]
CBSE Previous Year Question Papers Class 10 Maths 2017 Outside Delhi Term 2 Set III Q31
Solution:
Given, C (O, OB) with AC = 24 cm AB = 7 cm and ∠BOD = 90°
CBSE Previous Year Question Papers Class 10 Maths 2017 Outside Delhi Term 2 Set III Q31.1
∠CAB = 90° (Angle in semi-circle)
Using pythagoras theorem in ∆CAB,
BC2 = AC2 + AB2 = (24)2 + (7)2 = 576 + 49 = 625
⇒ BC = 25 cm
Radius of circle = OB = OD = OC = \frac { 25 }{ 2 } cm
Area of shaded region = Area of semi-circle with diamieter BC - Area of ∆CAB + Area of sector BOD
