Class 10 - Mathematics
Standard Sample Paper - 05 (2023-24)

Solution

Section A
1. (a) x2y2
Explanation: x2y5 = y3(x2y2)
x3y3 = x(x2y2)
Therefore HCF (m, n) is x2y2
2. (a) 3
Explanation: The number of zeroes is 3 as the graph given in the question intersects the x-axis at 3 points.
3. (b) one or many solutions
Explanation: A system of linear equations is said to be consistent if it has at least one solution or can have many
solutions. If a consistent system has an infinite number of solutions, it is dependent. When you graph the equations, both
equations represent the same line. If a system has no solution, it is said to be inconsistent. The graphs of the lines do not
intersect, so the graphs are parallel and there is no solution.
4. (c) 2m
Explanation: Let the width of the path be x meter
∴Area of path = Area of ABCD - Area of PQRS
⇒ 120 = (16 + 2x)(10 + 2x) - 16 × 10

⇒ 120 = 160 + 32x + 20x + 4x2 -160

⇒ 4x2 + 52x - 120 = 0
⇒ x2 + 13x - 30 = 0
⇒ x2 + 15x - 2x - 30 = 0
⇒ x(x + 15) - 2(x + 15) = 0
⇒ (x + 15)(x - 2) = 0
⇒ x + 15 = 0 and x - 2 = 0
⇒ x = -15 and x = 2 ... [x = -15 is not possible]

Therefore, the width of the path is 2 m.

5. (a) 3
Explanation: If the numbers x, 2x + k, 3x + 6 are in A.P.,
then, 2x + k - x = 3x + 6 - 2x - k
⇒ x + k = x + 6 - k

⇒ 2k = 6
⇒ k = 3

6. (c) -1
Explanation: A(2, 3) and B(-4, 1) are the given points.
Let C(0.y) be the points are y-axis
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
AC = √(0 − 2) + (y − 3)

−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
BC = √(0 + 4) + (y − 1) 2 2

−−−−−−−−−−−−−
⇒ BC = √16 + y + 1 − 2y
2

−−−−−−−−−−
⇒ BC = √y − 2y + 172

Since AC = BC
AC2 = BC2
y2 - 6y + 13 = y2 - 2y + 17
⇒ -6y + 2y = 17 - 13
⇒ -4y = 4

⇒ y = -1
Therefore, the point on y-axis is (0, -1) and here ordinate is -1.
7. (b) -y1 : y2
Explanation: Let a point A on x-axis divides the line segment joining the points P(x1, y1) Q(x2, y2) in the ratio m1 : m2
and
let co-ordinates of A be (x, 0)
m1 y +m2 y

∴ 0 = ⇒ 0 = m1 y2 + m2 y1
m1 +m2

⇒ m1 y2 = − m2 y1 ⇒ =

∴ Ratio is -y1 : y2

⇒ XY = 4 cm
9. (c) 20°
Explanation: Let ∠ OAB =∠ OBA = x [Opposite angles of equal radii are equal]
And ∠ AOB = 180° - 40° = 140°
Now, in triangle AOB,
∘
∠OAB + ∠OBA + ∠AOB = 180

⇒ x + x + 140° = 180°
⇒ 2x = 40°

⇒ x = 20°
∴ ∠ OAB = 20°

10. (a) 135°

Explanation: In the given figure, PA and PB are two tangents drawn from an external point P which inclined at an angle
of 45°.
OA and OB are radii of the circle.

To find ∠ AOB
△ OBP is a cyclic quadrilateral

∠ AOB + ∠ APB = 180°
⇒ ∠ AOB + 45° = 180°
⇒ ∠ AOB = 180° – 45° = 135°

11. (c) 1
Explanation: We have,

2−cot θ tan 3θ−tan θ cot 3θ
= = 1
2−cot θ tan 3θ−tan θ cot 3θ

12. (d) 2 cos2 A - 1

Explanation: We have, cos4 A - sin4 A = (cos2 A + sin2 A) (cos2 A - sin2 A)
= 1 (cos2 A - sin2 A) = cos2 A - (1 - cos2 A)
= cos2 A - 1 + cos2 A
= 2 cos2 A - 1
13. (a) h tan (45° + θ )
Explanation: Let AB be the surface of the lake and P be the point of observation. So AP = h.
The given situation can be represented as,

Here,C is the position of the cloud and C' is the reflection in the lake. Then CB = C'B.
Let PM be the perpendicular from P on CB. Then ∠ CPM = θ and ∠ C'PM = 45o.
Let CM = x, PM = y, then CB = x + h and C'B = x + h
Here, we have to find the height of cloud.
So we use trigonometric ratios.
In △CMP,

⇒ CB = 1−tan θ

Prime factorisation of 10 = 2 × 5
and prime factorisation of 16 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2
and prime factorisation of 20 = 2 × 2 × 5
Now, LCM(10,16,20) = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2× 5 = 80
Therefore, Number of minutes after which they start preparing a new card together = 80 minutes.

27. The given polynomial is
p(x) = 6x2 -7x -3
Factorize the above quadratic polynomial, we have
6x2 -7x -3 = 6x2 -9x + 2x - 3
= 3x(2x - 3) + 1(2x - 3)
= (3x + 1)(2x - 3)
For p(x) = 0, either 3x + 1 = 0 or 2x - 3 = 0

28. We have to solve 2x + 3y = 11 and 2x − 4y = −24 and also we have to find the value of 'm' for which y = mx + 3.
2x + 3y = 11 …. (1)
2x - 4y = −24 …. (2)
Using equation (2), we can say that
2x = −24 + 4y
⇒ x = −12 + 2y
Putting this in equation (1), we get
2 (−12 + 2y) + 3y = 11
⇒ −24 + 4y + 3y = 11
⇒ 7y = 11+ 24
⇒ 7y = 35
or, y = 5
Putting value of y in equation (1), we get
2x + 3 (5) = 11
⇒ 2x + 15 = 11
⇒ 2x = 11 – 15 = −4⇒ x = −2
Therefore, x = −2 and y = 5
Putting values of x and y in y = mx + 3, we get
5 = m (−2) + 3
⇒ 5 = −2m + 3
or, 5 - 3 = -2m
⇒ −2m = 2 ⇒ m = −1

Let the income of X be Rs. 8x and the income of Y be Rs, 7x.

Further, let the expenditures of x and y be 19y and 16y respectively. Then,
Saving of X = 8x − 19y
Saving of Y = 7x − 16y
∴ 8x − 19y = 1250 .....(i)
and, 7x − 16y = 1250 .....(ii)
Multiplying equation (i) by 7, and equation (ii) by 8, we get
56x − 133y = 8750 ...(iii)
56x − 128y = 10000 ....(iv)
Subtracting equation (iv) from equation (iii), we get
−133y + 128y = 8750 − 10000

⇒ −5y = −1250
−1250
⇒ y = = 250
−5

Putting y = 250 in equation (i), we get

8x − 19 × 250 = 1250

⇒ 8x − 4750 = 1250

⇒ 8x = 1250 + 4750

6000
⇒ x = = 750

Thus, X's income = 8x = 8 × 750 = ₹ 6000

Y's income = 7x = 7 × 750 = ₹ 5250.

Let the width of the path be x m

Length of the field including the path = (20 + 2x) m
Breadth of the field including the path = (14 + 2x) m.
Area of rectangle = L × B
Area of the field including the path = (20 + 2x) (14 + 2x) m2 .
Area of the field excluding the path = (20 × 14) m2= 280 m2.
∴ Area of the path = (20 + 2x) (14 + 2x) - 280

⇒ (20 + 2x) (14 + 2x) - 280 = 111

⇒ 4x2 + 68x - 111 = 0
Factorise the equation,
2
⇒ 4x + 74x − 6x − 111 = 0

⇒ 2x(2x + 37) - 3(2x + 37) = 0

34. i. Whenever we placed a solid right circular cone in a right circular cylinder, cylinder with full of water, then volume of
a solid right circular cone is equal to the volume of water filled from the cylinder.
ii. Total volume of water in a cylinder is equal to the volume of the cylinder.
iii. Volume of water left in the cylinder is = Volume of the right circular cylinder - Volume of a right circular cone.

Given that, the height of a right circular cylinder =180cm
and radius of a right circular cylinder = Radius of a right circular cone = 60 cm
∴ Volume of a right circular cylinder = πr × h

= π × 60 × 60 × 180 = 648000π cm3 So, volume of a right circular cylinder = Total volume of water in a cylinder =
648000π cm3 [from point (ii)]
From point (iii),
Volume of water left in the cylinder = Total volume of water in a cylinder - Volume of water failed from the cylinder
