Class 10 - Mathematics
Standard Sample Paper - 04 (2023-24)

Solution

Section A
1. (d) pq
Explanation: Two positive integers are expressed as follows:
a = pq2
b = p3q
p and q are prime numbers.
Then, taking the smallest powers of p and q in the values for a and b we get
HCF (a, b) = pq
2. (b) 1
Explanation: The number of zeroes is 1 as the graph intersects the x-axis at one point only.
3. (a) x = 3, y = 2
Explanation: We have:
2x + 3y = 12 …(i)
3x – 2y = 5 …(ii)
Now, by multiplying (i) by 2 and (ii) by 3 and then adding them we get:
4x + 9x = 24 + 15
13x = 39
x= =3
39

13

Now putting the value of x in (i), we get

2 × 3 + 3y = 12
12−6
∴ y= 3
=2
4. (a) 2p + q, 2p - q
Explanation: Given: x2 - 4px + 4p2 - q2 = 0
⇒ (x - 2p)2 - q2 = 0
Using a2 - b2 = (a + b) (a - b),
⇒ (x - 2p + q)(x - 2p - q) = 0
⇒ x - 2p + q = 0 and x - 2p - q = 0
⇒ x = 2p - q and x = 2p + q

8. (c) 1.75 cm.

Explanation: Here, ∠ BAD = 180o - (∠ EAB + ∠ ADC) = 180o - 110o - 35o = 35o
Since, AD bisects ∠ A.
[Internal bisector of an angle of a triangle divides the opposite side in the ratio of the sides containing the

⇒ =
7 CD

⇒ 5CD = 21 - 7CD ⇒ 5CD + 7 CD = 21

⇒ 12CD = 21 ⇒ CD = 1.75 cm

9. (b) 9 cm
Explanation: In the figure, quadrilateral ABCD is circumscribed touches the circle at P, Q, R and S

AP = 5 cm, BC = 7 cm, CS = 3 cm AB = ?
Tangents drawn from the external point to the circle are equal
AQ = AP = 5 cm
CR = CS = 3 cm
BQ = BR
Now, BR = BC – CR = 7 – 3 = 4 cm
BQ = 4 cm
Now, AB = AQ + BQ = 5 + 4 = 9 cm

and AB =

Let PB = a meters and BD = b meters Then PD = PB + BD = (a + b) m

In right angled triangle APB, we have

⇒a + b = 4500

⇒1500 + b = 4500

⇒b = 3000 m
∴ Distance covered by the aeroplane in 15 seconds = AC = BD = 3000 m

Now, Speed of aeroplane = 3000

= 200 m/s = 720 km/hr
The speed of the plane is 720 km/hr.

Section B
21. It is given that the HCF of two numbers is 27 and their LCM is 162.
Let the numbers be "a "and 81.
HCF × LCM = product of the two numbers
⇒ 27 × 162 = 81 × a

⇒ a = 54

So, the other number is 54.

23. Since, OP bisects the chord AD, therefore ∠ OPA = 90o... [∵ The line drawn through the centre of a circle to bisect a
chord is perpendicular to the chord]

Now, In △AOP
∠ A = 180o - 60o - 90o
= 120o - 90o
= 30o
Also, we know that the tangent at any point of a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact
∴ ∠ ABC = 90o
Now, In △ABC,
∠ C = 180o - ∠ A - ∠ B
= 180o - 30o - 90o
= 150o - 90o
= 60o

H.C.F of (12, 16) = 4
That is, 12 pieces of chicken would be served in 4 plates at the rate of 3 pieces per plate.
And 16 rolls would be served in 4 plates at the rate of 4 rolls per plate.
In this way, each of the 4 plates would have 3 pieces of chicken and 4 rolls. And all the 4 plates would be identical.
Hence, the greatest number of plates Lenin can prepare is 4.

Now, plot the points A (1, 2), B(-5, 6) and C(7, -2) on the graph paper.
Join AB and AC to get the graph line BC.
Thus, the line AC is the graph of the equation 2x + 3y = 8.
Graph of x − 2y + 3 = 0

Thus, we have the following table for x − 2y + 3 = 0

Now, plot the points P(3, 3) and Q (-3, 0) on the same graph paper.
The point A(1, 2) has already been plotted.
Join PA and QA to obtain the line PQ.

Thus, the line PQ is the graph of the equation x - 2y + 3 = 0

Two graphs lines intersect at the point A(1, 2)
∴ x = 1, y = 2 is the solution of the given system of equations.

OR

3x + 2y = 11 ........(i)
2x + 3y = 4 .......(ii)

Multiplying (i) by 3 and (ii) by 2, we get

9x + 6y = 33 ........(iii)
4x + 6y = 8 ........(iv)
Subtracting (iv) from (iii), we ge
5x = 25 ⇒ x = 5

Substituing x = 5 equation in (i), we get

3(5) + 2y = 11 ⇒ 15 + 2y = 11 ⇒ 2y = −4 ⇒ y = −2

Hence, the solution of the given system of equations is x = 5, y = -2

OR

Here, OA = OB
And OA ⊥ AP, OB ⊥ BP (Since tangent is perpendicular to the radius at the point of contact)
∴ ∠OAP = 90°,

∠OBP = 90°
∴ ∠OAP + ∠OBP =90° + 90° = 180°
∴ ∠AOB + ∠AP B = 180°
(Since,∠AOB+ ∠OAP + ∠OBP + ∠AP B = 360°)
Thus, sum of opposite angle of a quadrilateral is 180°.
Hence, A, O, B and P are concyclic.

x(x+6)

or, 54x + 324 + 63x = 3x(x + 6)

or, 117x + 324 = 3x + 18x 2

or, 3x − 99x − 324 = 0

l = √(2.1) + (2.8)

∴ Canvas required for one tent= 92.4 sq.m.

So, canvas required for 1500 tents = 1500 × canvas required for one tent.
= 92.4 × 1500
= 1,38,600 sq.m
Thus, cost of the canvas = 120 × canvas required for 1500 tents

Height of the cone = 4 cm
Radius of the cylinder = 5 cm

36. i. Number of bricks in the bottom row = 30. in the next row = 29, and so on.
Therefore, Number of bricks stacked in each row form a sequence 30, 29, 28, 27, ..., which is an AP with first

Suppose number of rows is n, then sum of number of bricks in n rows should be 360.
i.e. S n = 360

{S }

⇒ (n − 16)(n − 45) = 0

⇒ (n − 16) = 0 or (n − 45) = 0

⇒ n = 16 or n = 45

Hence, number of rows is either 45 or 16.

n = 45 not possible so n = 16
a = 30 + (45 − 1)(−1) {a

Hence the number of rows is 16.

Number of bricks on top row are n = 16,
a16 = 30 + (16 - 1) (-1) {an = a + (n - 1)d}

Number of bricks in the bottom row = 30. in the next row = 29, and so on.

Suppose number of rows is n, then sum of number of bricks in n rows should be 360.
an = 26, a = 30, d = -1
an = a + (n - 1)d

Hence 26 bricks are in 5th row.

Suppose number of rows is n, then sum of number of bricks in n rows should be 360
Number of bricks in 10th row a = 30, d = -1, n = 10
an = a + (n - 1)d

Therefore, number of bricks in 10th row are 21.
