Chapter wise Question Bank

1|Page
 Foreword
Preparation of study material for all the major subjects of class X and XII and
presenting the same on the hands of the students well on time is not anything new for
the Kendriya Vidyalayas. However, this time the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic
looming large in front of all and the 9 months of suspended physical classes have
given an extra novel meaning and significance to this endeavor. On all previous
occasions, teachers sat together on a designated place face to face to discuss, to
reject, to select & modify and thereby gather together the best material for the
students. This time, they could not do so that way because of the limitations of
gatherings in light of the pandemic. And therefore, this time, there has been the
endeavor to craft out a chapter-wise exhaustive question bank for all the major
subjects. The major chunk of the session has already played out in the most
extraordinary way during this most extraordinary time as we have all seen, with the
syllabi having been covered only through online classes with the teachers and the
students never coming face to face inside the classrooms.
Anyway, with our examination system the way it is, the role of intelligent and rigorous
study of question bank has been always enormous for success in all examinations.
Having a sound grasp of probable questions and the most pertinent ones, leads to
better negotiation of the course material on hand especially when the examination
comes near.
It is hoped that the teachers of each school will bring the materials home to the needy
students with further necessary guidance from them during this extraordinary
academic session and extraordinary time as a whole.
It has been wonderful for KVS RO Guwahati to be involved in preparation of study
material in the form of chapter wise question banks. The enormous contribution of the
Subject teachers and Principals for making the project successful is highly
praiseworthy.

6|Page
 (a) Find the maximum number of parallel rows of each class for the seating arrangement.
(b) Also, find the number of students of class IX and also of class X in a row.
(c) What is the objective of the school administration behind such an arrangement?

Answer
1. Required number = LCM of 1, 2, 3, … 10 = 2520.
2. y = 5 × 13 = 65
a. x = 3 × 195 = 585
3. Decimal representation of number 8/27 = 0.296
4. Product of two numbers = Product of their LCM and HCF
⇒ 1800 = 12 × LCM
⇒ LCM = 1800 /12 = 150.
5. 6P
6. As 1.7351 is a terminating decimal number, so q must be of the form 2m 5n, where in, n are natural
numbers.
7. LCM (3 × 52, 32 × 72) = 32 × 52 × 72 = 9 × 25 × 49 = 11025
8. 96 = 25 × 3
360 = 23 × 32 × 5
LCM = 25 × 32 × 5 = 32 × 9 × 5 = 1440
9. . ∴ LCM (198,144)24 × 32 × 11 = 1584
HCF(198, 144) = 2 × 32 = 18
Now, LCM (198, 144) × HCF (198, 144) = 1584 × 18 = 28512
and product of 198 and 144 = 28512
Thus, product of LCM (198, 144) and HCF (198, 144)
= Product of 198 and 144.
10. Let HCF of the numbers be x then according to question LCM of the number will be 14x
And x + 14x = 600 ⇒ 15x = 600 ⇒ x = 40
Then HCF = 40 and LCM = 14 × 40 = 560
∵ LCM × HCF = Product of the numbers
560 × 40 = 280 × Second number Second number = 560×40/280 = 80
Then other number is 80.
11. x = p2q3 and y = p3q
LCM = p3q3
HCF = p2q …..(i)
Now, LCM = p3q3
⇒ LCM = pq2 (p2q)
⇒ LCM = pq2 (HCF)
Yes, LCM is a multiple of HCF.
12. It is given that on dividing 70 by the required number, there is a remainder 5.
This means that 70 – 5 = 65 is exactly divisible by the required number.
Similarly, 125 – 8 = 117 is also exactly divisible by the required number.
65 = 5 × 13
117 = 32 × 13

7|Page
 HCF = 13
Required number = 13
13. Since the books are to be distributed equally among the students of Section A and Section B.
therefore, the number of books must be a multiple of 48 as well as 60.
Hence, required number of books is the LCM of 48 and 60.
48 = 24 × 3
60 = 22 × 3 × 5
LCM = 24 × 3 × 5 = 16 × 15 = 240
Hence, required number of books is 240.
14. If n is an odd positive integer, show that (n2 – 1) is divisible by 8.
We know that an odd positive integer n is of the form (4q + 1) or (4q + 3) for some integer q.
Case – I When n = (4q + 1)
In this case n2 – 1 = (4q + 1)21 = 16q2 + 8q = 8q(2q + 1)
which is clearly divisible by 8.
Case – II When n = (4q + 3)
In this case, we have
n22 = (4q + 3)2 – 1 = 16q2 + 24q + 8 = 8(2q2+ 3q + 1)
which is clearly divisible by 8.
Hence (n2 – 1) is divisible by 8.
15. Let us assume, to the contrary, that √7 is a rational number.
Then, there exist co-prime positive integers and such that
√7 = a/b , b ≠ 0
So, a = √7 b
Squaring both sides, we have
a2 = 7b2 …… (i)
⇒ 7 divides a2 ⇒ 7 divides a
So, we can write
a = 7c (where c is an integer)
Putting the value of a = 7c in (i), we have
49c2 = 7b2 72 = b2
It means 7 divides b2 and so 7 divides b.
So, 7 is a common factor of both a and b which is a contradiction.
So, our assumption that √7 is rational is wrong.
Hence, we conclude that √7 is an irrational number.
16. 398 – 7 = 391, 436 – 11 = 425, 542 – 15 = 527
HCF of 391, 425, 527 = 17
17. Given numbers = 30, 72, 432.
30 = 2 × 3 × 5; 72 = 23 × 32 and 432 = 24 × 33
So, HCF (30, 72, 432) = 21 × 31 = 2× 3 = 6
Again,
LCM (30, 72, 432) = 24 × 33 × 51 = 2160
HCF × LCM = 6 × 2160 = 12960
Product of numbers = 30 × 72 × 432 = 933120 .
Therefore, HCF × LCM ≠ Product of the numbers.
18. To find the earliest (least) time, they will start preparing a new card together, we find the LCM of
10, 16 and 20.
10 = 2 × 5
8|Page
 16 = 24
20 = 22 × 5
LCM = 24 × 5 = 16 × 5 = 80 minutes
They will start preparing a new card together after 80 minutes.
19. 1st vessel = 720 ml; 2nd vessel = 405 ml
We find the HCF of 720 and 405 to find the maximum quantity of milk to be filled in one glass.
405 = 34 × 5
720 = 24 × 32 × 5
HCF = 32 × 5 = 45 ml = Capacity of glass
No. of glasses filled from 1st vessel = 720/45 = 16
No. of glasses filled from 2nd vessel = 405/45 = 9
Total number of glasses = 25
20. 104 = 23 × 13
96 = 25 × 3
HCF = 23 = 8
(a) Number of rows of students of class X = 104/8 = 13
Number maximum of rows class IX = 96/8 = 12
Total number of rows = 13 + 12 = 25
(b) No. of students of class IX in a row = 8
No. of students of class X in a row = 8
(c) The objective of school administration behind such an arrangement is fair and clean
examination, so that no student can take help from any other student of his/her class.

Zeroes x = √3 /2 and x = √3
8. p(x) = x 2 ‒ 2x ‒ (3k +3)
∴ p(-4) =(-4)2- 2 (-4)-(3k+3)

10. If the polynomial p( x )= x 2 – 3 a x + 3 a – 7 is divided by x + 2 , then by Remainder theorem,
remainder is p(-2).
P(-2) = 9 a – 3
∴ 9 a -3 should be subtracted

Sum of the zeroes = + 3= =
Product if zeroes = × 3= =
14. As √3 and - √3 are the zeroes of the polynomial x 3- 4 x‒ 3x + 12 ,

HINTS
1. Since a, a-2 and 3a are in AP
∴ a−2−a=3a−(a−2)
⇒ 2(a−2)=a+3a
⇒2a−4=4a
⇒2a=−4
⇒a=−2

19 | P a g e
 2. 2. Let the common difference of an A.P. be d.
Then,
a18=a1+17×d
a14=a1+13×d
Solving the two equations,
a18−a14=a1+17d−a1−13d
⇒a18−a14=4d
Substituting 4d=32,
⇒d=8

3. D=a2-a1
ie,d=1-6b/2b - 1/2b
1-6b-1/2b
-6b/2b
-3 is the answer

4. Here, a = 18, d = −
an = a + (n - 1) d
=> - 47 = 18 + (n - 1) −
=>5n/2 = 18 + 47 + 5/2 = 67.5
Hence, it is 27th term

5. write √12 as 2√3, √27 as 3√3, √48 as 4√3.

So this forms a AP with common difference =√3
next term will be 5√3=75

6. Let,
k+9=a
2k - 1 = b
2k + 7 = c
To be in AP,
a + c = 2b
(k + 9) + (2k + 7) = 2(2k - 1)
k + 9 + 2k + 7 = 4k - 2
3k + 16 = 4k - 2
3k - 4k = - 2 - 16
- k = - 18
k = 18
For k = 18, the terms k+9 , 2k - 1 , 2k + 7 are in AP

7. Let first term be a=27

And common difference be d=−3
According to question, sum is zero,
⟹n/2[2a+(n−1)d]=0
⟹[54+(n−1)(−3)]=0
⟹n=19
Hence, 19 terms of AP should be taken to make sum zero.

20 | P a g e
 8. First 8 multiples of 3-
3,6,9,.....upto 8 terms
The above series is in A.P. where,
First term (a)=3
Common difference (d)=3
No. of terms (n)=8
Sum of terms (Sn)=?
As we know that, in an A.P.,
Sn=n/2[2a+(n−1)d]
∴S8=8/2[2×3+(8−1)×3]
⇒S8=4×(6+21)
⇒S8=4×27=108

9. Let the first term is a and the common difference is d

By using Sn=n/2[2a+(n−1)d] we have,
S5=5/2[2a+(5−1)d]
=5/2[2a+4d]
S7=7/2[2a+(7−1)d]=7/2[2a+6d]
Given: S7+S5=167
∴5/2[2a+4d]+7/2[2a+6d]=167

⇒10a+20d+14a+42d=334
⇒24a+62d=334 ...(1)
S10=10/2[2a+(10−1)d]=5(2a+9d)
Given: S10=235
So 5(2a+9d)=235
⇒2a+9d=47 ...(2)
Multiply equation (2) by 12, we get
24a+108d=564....(3)
Subtracting equation (3) from (1), we get
−46d=−230
∴d=5
Substing the value of d=5 in equation (1) we get
2a+9(5)=47 or 2a=2
∴a=1
Then A.P is 1,6,11,16,21,⋯

10. a=7 l=49 Sn=420

Sn=n/2[a+l]
So 420×2=n[7+49]
n=15
l=a+(n−1)d
⇒ 49=7+14 d
⇒ 7=1+2 d ⇒ 2d=6
⇒ d=3

11. The list of numbers between 101 and 999 that are divisible by 2 and 5 are:
110,120,130,...990

21 | P a g e
 The numbers are in A.P, with first term, a=110, common difference, d=10
Last term, an=990
We know that, an=a+(n−1)d
990=110+(n−1)10
⇒990–110=10n–10
⇒880+10=10n
⇒890=10n
⇒n=89
Therefore, the number of terms between 101 and 999 that are divisible by 2 and 5 are 89.

12. (4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + ......... upto n terms) + (-1/n - 2/n - 3/n - ..........upto n terms)

= 4 ( 1+1+1+1.......... upto n terms) - 1/n (1 + 2 + 3 +4 .........upto n terms)

13. Sn=1/2(3n^2+7n)
S1=1/2(3+7)=5
S2=1/2(3*4+7*2)=26/2=13
We know
S1=a1=5
S2=a1+a2=13
S2-s1=a1+a2-a1
13-5=a2
a2=8
We know d=a2-a1
d=8-5=3
nth term of AP =an=5+(n-1)3
an= 2+3n
Therefore 20th term =
a20= 2+3(20)=62
Hence 20th term of AP is 62

14. let a is the first term of Ap and d is the common difference

Sn=n/2 {2a+(n-1) d

now S12=12/2 {2a+(12-1) d}=12a+66d

S8=8/2 {2a+7d}=8a+28d
S4=4/2 {2a+3d}=4a+6d
LHS=S12=12a+66d
RHS=3 (S8-S4)=3 (8a+28d-4a-6d)=12a+66d
LHS =RHS

15. Sp=Sq
⇒ p/2(2a+(p−1)d)=q/2(2a+(q−1)d)
⇒ p(2a+(p−1)d)=q(2a+(q−1)d)
⇒ 2ap+p2d−pd=2aq+q2d−qd
⇒ 2a(p−q)+(p+q)(p−q)d−d(p−q)=0
⇒ (p−q)[2a+(p+q)d−d]=0
⇒ 2a+(p+q)d−d=0
⇒ 2a+((p+q)−1)d=0

22 | P a g e
 ⇒ Sp+q=0

16. (HINT)Let Sm and Sn be the sum of the first m and first n terms of the AP respectively. Let, a be
the first term and d be a common difference
Sn/Sm=n2/m2

17. Hera 3a=12

a=4
Also (a−d)3+a3+(a+d)3=288,
or 3a3+6ad2=288
24d2=288−3×64=96
d2=4
d=±2
Hence the numbers are 2,4,6 or 6,4,2

18. Let the four consecutive numbers in AP be (a−3d),(a−d),(a+d) and (a+3d)

So, according to the question.
a−3d+a−d+a+d+a+3d=32
4a=32
a=32/4
a=8......(1)
Now, (a−3d)(a+3d)/(a−d)(a+d)=7/15
15(a²−9d²)=7(a²−d²)
15a²−135d²=7a²−7d²
15a²−7a²=135d²−7d²
8a²=128d²
Putting the value of a=8 in above we get.
8(8)²=128d²
128d²=512
d²=512/128
d²=4
d=2
So, the four consecutive numbers are
8−(3×2)
8−6=2
8−2=6
8+2=10
8+(3×2)
8+6=14
Four consecutive numbers are 2,6,10and14.

ANSWERS

Answer 1. When these dice are thrown then total possible outcomes are
Total possible outcomes = 36
i) Sum of number = 7
favourable outcomes are (3,4) (4,3) , (4,3) ,(5,2) ,(5,2) , (6,1) i.e. = 6
Probability that sum of numbers is 7 = 6/36 i.e. ⅙
ii) Sum is a perfect square i.e. sum is 4 or 9
favourable outcomes are (1,3) ,(1,3) ,(2,2) (2,2),(5,4) (6,3) ,(6,3) = 7

65 | P a g e
 P (sum is a perfect square) = 7/36

Answer 2 let number of blue marbles =B and number of green marbles = g

Probability of getting blue marble = b/54 (total number of marbles = 54)
B/54= 1/3 on solving this we get b= 18
Similarly, probability of getting green marble = g/ 54
According to question (g/54) = 4/9 on solving this we get g = 24
Since total marbles are 54 hence number of white marbles = 54-(24+18)
= 12

Answer 3. Total possible outcome = 36

Favourable outcome that 5 will not come either time will be (1,1) (1,2)(1,3)…………= 25
times
Probability that 5 will not come either time =25/36
ii) Probability of getting same number on both cards (1, 1) (2, 2) (3, 3) (4, 4) (5, 5) (6, 6) i.e., = 6/36
So, probability of not getting same number on both cards = 1-(1/6) = 5/6

Answer 4 Total number of days from Tuesday to Saturday = 5

Hence total number of ways both can reach shop = 25,
Possible combinations to reach shop are (Tuesday, Tuesday) (Wednesday,
Wednesday)(Thursday, Thursday) (Friday, Friday) (Saturday, Saturday)
Probability of reaching on same day = 5/25
ii) Number of combinations of consecutive days (Tuesday, Wednesday) (Wednesday, Thursday)
(Wednesday, Tuesday) (Wednesday, Thursday) ………………………………hence we will get 8 combination
Probability of reaching on consecutive days= 8/25

Answer 5. Apoorva throws two dice so total outcome = 36

Number of outcomes for getting 36 n(E) = 1 (6×6)
So, probability of getting 36 for Apoorva = 1/36
Pihu throws one dice so total number of outcomes for pihu = 6
Number of outcomes for getting square of number 36 n(E) = 1 (square of 6 = 36)
So probability for getting square of number is 36 = 1/6
Hence Pihu has better chance to get number 36

66 | P a g e
Answer 6. I) Number of jacks of red suit in the deck = 2
Total number of cards = 52 so probability of getting king = 2/52
ii) Number of diamond card in the deck = 13
So, probability of getting a diamond card= 13/52
iii) Probability for 5 or 9 of club = 2/52

Answer 7. Total possible outcome =36

Probability for getting 3 = 2/36
Probability for getting sum 4 = 3/36
Probability for getting 5 = 4/36
Probability for getting sum 6 5/36
Probability for getting sum 7 6/36
Probability for getting sum 8 5/36
Probability for getting sum 9 4/36
Probability for getting sum 10 3/36
Probability for getting sum 11 2/36
Probability for getting sum 12 1/36
No, I do not agree with the argument as the result shows above.

Answer 8. X + (x/2) +2 =14

(3x/2) = 14-2
X=8
Probability of getting a black marble = 8/14
Probability of getting a white marble= 3/7

Answer 9 Total number of cards =17

i) Odd numbered cards = 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17
Possible outcomes = 9 so, probability of getting odd numbered card= 9/17
ii) Prime numbered cards= 2,3,5,7,11,13,17 = 7 cards
So, probability of getting prime numbered card = 7/17
iii) Number divisible by 3 = 3,6,9,12,15 i.e. 5
Hence probability of getting card with number divisible by 3 = 5/17

Answer 10: i) cards with an odd number less than 30 are –

67 | P a g e
 7,9,11,13,15,17,19,21,23,25,27,29
Total number of outcomes = 65 (from 6 to 70)
Total favourable outcome = 12
So, probability of a card with odd number = 12/65
ii) Cards with composite number between 50 and 70 are-
51,52,54,55,56,57,58,60,62,63,64,65,66,68,69 (i.e., 15 cards)
Total number of cards = 65
So, probability of getting a composite number = 15/65 i.e., 3/13

Answer 11. 0 ½ 1 2

Let E be event that the music is stopped within the first half minute
The outcome favourable to E are on the number line from 0 to ½
The distance from 0 to 2 is 2 while distance from 0 to ½ is ½
Since all events are equally likely so total distance =2 and
Distance favourable to the event is ½
P (E) = (½)/2
P (E) = 1/4

Answer 12. Let number of green balls be x so number of blue balls will be = 24-x
Probability of getting green ball = x/24
According to question x/24 = 2/3
X = 16
Hence number of blue balls = 24- 16
= 8

Answer 13. Let total number of eyes be = 100

No. of black eyes = 65, no. of brown eyes = 25
Remaining are blue eyes = 100- (65+25) = 10
Probability of getting blue eyes = 10/100 i.e., 1/10
Probability of getting brown or black eyes = 90/100 i.e., 9/10
Probability of getting blue or brown eyes = 75/100 i.e., ¾

68 | P a g e
Answer 14. Total number of pieces = 8+ 10 =18
i) No. of triangles = 8 hence probability of getting triangle =8/18
= 4/9
ii) No. of squares = 10 hence P( square is lost) = 10/18
= 5/9
iii) no. of triangles of red colour = 8-3 =5
So, P (triangle of red colour is lost) = 5/18

Answer 15. Number of cards removed = 2 red queens + 2 black jacks = 4 cards
Total number of remaining cards = 52- 4 = 48
i) There are 4 kings in remaining cards
Hence probability of getting a king = 4/48 i.e. 1/12
ii) After removing 2 red queens, 24 red cards are left hence
Probability of getting red colour card = 24/48 i.e. 1/2
iii) After removing 2 red queens and 2 black jacks 8 face cards are left hence
Probability of getting a face card = 8/48 i.e. 1/6
iv) Only 2 black queens are left hence
Probability of getting a queen = 2/48 i.e. 1/12

Answer 16. Favourable outcome for value more than 1 rupee= 30

Total number of coins = 180
Probability of falling a coin of value more than 1 = 30/180
i) Favourable outcome for value less than 5 rupees = 170
Probability of falling a coin value less than 5 rupees = 170/180 i.e., 17/18

Answer 17 i) those numbers from 2 to 201 which are perfect square are
4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, i.e. 9 cards marked with numbers perfect Square
Favourable outcome = 9
Total outcome = 100 so probability of getting a perfect square number =
9/100

Prime numbers less than 20 are 2,3,5,7,11,13,17 and 19 i.e., 8 cards

69 | P a g e
 Favourable outcome = 8 and total outcome = 100
So, probability of getting card with prime number = 8/100 i.e., 2/25

Answer 18. Total number of outcomes = 5+8+4 = 17

Number of red marbles = 5
Probability of getting red marble = 5/17
Ii) Probability of getting green marble = 4/17
Probability of getting not green marble = 1-(4/17) i.e., 13/17

Answer 19 Total balls = 12 l, let white balls be x

Probability of getting white ball = x/12
If 6 more balls are put into bag now total balls = 18
White balls are = 6+x
ii) Probability of getting white balls = (x+6)/18
According to question (x+6)/18 = 2(x/12) on solving this we get x =3
