OR Find the number of participants of age less than 50 years who undergo vocational training. Ps (©) Give the empirical relationship between mean, median and mode. 1 Teaching Mathematics through activities is a powerful approach that enhances students’ understanding and engagement. Keeping this in mind, Ms. Mukta planned a prime number game for class 5 students. She announces the number 2)in.her class and asked the first student to multiply it by a prime number and then pass it to second student. Second student also multiplied it by a prime number and passed it to third student. In this way by multiplying to.a prime number, the last student got 173250. Now, Mukta asked some questions as given below to the students: (A) What is the least prime number used by students? 1 (®) How many students are in the class? OR What is the highest prime number used by students? 2 30-34 35-39 40-44 | 45-49 | 50-54 13 11 10 4 (C) Which prime number has been used maximum times? 1 38. A stable owner has four horses. He usually tie these horses with 7 m long rope to pegs at each corner of a square shaped grass field of 20 m length, to graze in his farm. But tying with rope sometimes results in injuries to his horses, so he decided to build fence around the area so that each horse can graze. A 7m 20 m| B c Based on the above, answer the following questions: (A) Find the area of the square shaped grass field. 1 (8) Find the area of the total field in which these horses can graze. OR If the length of the rope of each horse is increased from 7 m to 10 m, find the area grazed by one horse. (Use x = 3.14) 2: *(C)What is area of the field that is left ungrazed, if the length of the rope of each horse is 7 m? 1 * The unit mentioned at the end of question is incorrect in Board Paper and hence the entire question is solved in metre (m). SOLUTIONS SECTION -A ib 1. @ 3 Explanation: No. of red balls = 3 No. of white balls = 5 No. of black balls = 7 Total balls = 15 Probability that ball drawn is neither red nor black = & = + 1S ceed @ Concept Applied ‘“ The probability of drawing neither red nor black balls will be obtained by removing red and black balls from total balls. 2. (c) 382 Explanation: Probability of getting bad eggs in the lot = 0.045 Let the no. of bad éggs = x ~. Probability of bad eggs _ No.of bad eggs Total eggs = 0.045 = ~_ 400 > x= 400 x 0.045 = x=18 No. of bad eggs = 18 No. of good eggs = 400 - 18 = 382 3. @25cm Explanation: A Ex § f/ ae E 2nr0 Perimeter of sector = 2r + 360° =2x7+ ay oe ve 180° =14411 = 25cm A Caution \ Students may take only length of arc which can lead the wrong answer 11 cm which is option (b) a distractor. 4. © V3.N27 Explanation: Here 3 and ¥27 both are irrational numbers. The product of 3x27 = /3*27 = vei +. 9 is a rational number. A Caution Question should be read carefully as it is saying product of two irrational numbers. In option (a) and (@) numbers are not irrationals while in option (b), the product of numbers is irrational. 5. @2 Explanation: <== cme R Ss Here, circle with centre O and O' are intersecting at two distinct points A and B. So, in this situation PQ, RS are the tangents which can be drawn. 6. () 30V3 Explanation: Let BC be the tower and A be the observation point. ‘C L) Cc A<30m—> B AB = 30m ZCAB = 60° x Let, BC =hm ; A Caution © Students generally make mistakes in applying comparison of ratios. They write wrong ratios like AD _ OE ‘BD UBC which will give them wrong result. Option (©) which is a distractor. 12. @ 2 Explanation: Total outcomes, when two dice are thrown = {(1, (1, 2)(2, 3), 4)(2, 5). 6) (2, 1)(2, 2)(2, 3)(2, 4)(2, 5)(2, 6) (3, YG, 2B, 3)(3, HG, 5)G, 6) (4, 1)(4, 2)(4, 3)(4, 4)(4, 5)(4, 6) 6.

So, 3) +p =0 = 37-5«3+4+p=0 > 9+4-15+p =0 = -2+p=0 => p=2 So, 2 should be added. Concept Applied ‘ if any number is a zero of polynomial then value of the polynomial becomes zero at that number. 15.) /5 Explanation: @ 20x20 =20= Zqz0 But 20 is not the smallest among all options. (&) 20x /2= 40 = 275 is irrational © ¥20x5= 10Y5;is irrational @ V20xV5 = Vi00 10_P se =5.q#0 Th eqe Hence, option (d) is correct. 16. (d) trapezium Explanation: t AO BO Given: =a oc OD 41 =22 [vertically opposite angles] AAOB ~ ADOC So, 23 =24 ie, alternate 4s are equal AB || CD Hence, ABCD is a trapezium. 17. @)-2 Explanation: 18. (a) 125° Explanation: Ps ZOTP = 90° [Line from centre is 1 to tangent at point of contact] x= ZTPO + ZOTP [Exterior Angle Property] x = 35° + 90° = 125° @ Concept Applied + Exterior angle theorem states that when side of a triangle is extended, the resultant exterior angle formed is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles of the triangle. 19. (d) Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true. MY, + MAY, m,+m, 1x1+2x2 142 144 8 = 3 15 So point of intersection is (53) but. in -15 assertion, it is (33): So, assertion is wrong and reason is true. 20. (b) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A). Explanation: Total balls (outcomes) = 45 No. of times boundaries are hit = 9 eS se 9 Explanation: Assertion says that point (2 | PAE = hating the bode) ae. divides the line joining the points A(1, 2) and 1 BC-1, 1) in 1:2. = e oS Aart Xp HM X, oe 1 -.
