number of bad eggs in the lot is :
(A) 7 (B) 14 (C) 21 (D) 28

Q9 . The sum of the class marks of the classes 20-30 and 50-60 is : (1)

Q10 . Question number 10 is Assertion and Reason based questions carrying 1 (1)
mark. Two statements are given, one labelled as Assertion (A) and the other
is labelled as Reason (R). Select the correct answer to these questions from
the codes (A), (B), (C) and (D) as given below:

(A) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct
explanation of the Assertion (A).
(B) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the
correct explanation of the Assertion (A).
(C) Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
(D) Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.

Assertion (A): The probability of getting exactly one head in tossing a pair of
1
coins is 2
.
Reason (R): The sample space of two coins tossed together = {HH, TT, HT,
TH}

Q11 . If the 3rd term and the 9th term of an A.P. are 4 and -8 respectively, which (2)
term of this A.P. is zero?

Q12 . Check whether the points A(5, – 2), B(6, 4) and C(7, – 2) are the vertices of (2)
an isosceles triangle.

Q13 . One card is drawn from a well-shuffled deck of 52 cards. Calculate the (2)
probability that the card will :
(i) be not an ace card.
(ii) a red face card.

 SECTION C (Each question carries 3 marks)

Q14 . A tent is in the shape of a cylinder surmounted by a conical top. If the (3)
height and diameter of the cylindrical part are 2.1 m and 4 m, respectively,
and the slant height of the top is 2.8 m, find the area of the canvas used for
making the tent. Also, find the cost of the canvas of the tent at the rate of
