Section B
21 For any n, If the number 4n,ends with the digit zero, then it would be ½
divisible by 5 and 2 both. That is, the prime factorization of 4n would
contain the prime factors 5 and 2 both.
The only prime factor in the factorization of 4 = (2×2)n is 2. ½
The uniqueness of Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic guarantees that ½
there are no other primes in the factorization of 4n . ½
There is no natural number n for which 4n ends with the digit zero.
Hence 4n cannot end with the digit zero.
OR

The smallest number that is divisible by two numbers is obtained by

finding the LCM of these numbers Here, the given numbers are 306 and ½
657. ½
306 = 3×2×3×17 , ½
657 = 3×3×73
LCM(306, 657) = 2×3×3×17×73 = 22338 ½
 Hence, the smallest number which is divisible by 306 and 657 is 22338.

22 (i) P(a black king) = 2/46

OR
Total ball, n(S) = 15
Number of Blue ball = x ½
Number of Red ball = 15 - x
𝟏𝟓 − 𝒙
probability of drawing red ball, P(R) = 𝟏𝟓
½
If the number of red balls are increased by 5, i.e. total probability of
drawing the red balls doubles. Total number of ball = 15 + 5 = 20
and number of red ball = 15 - x + 5 = 20 - x .
Now in this case probability of drawing red ball would be
𝟐𝟎 − 𝒙 𝟏𝟓 − 𝒙 ½
= 2 ( 𝟏𝟓 )

Therefore P(red ball) = 15 = 3/15 = 1/5

Q25 Here, 2 and -3 are zeroes of the polynomial

x2 +(a + 1)x + b = 0 ½
Sum of the zeros = - b/a

Q27 Distance travelled by the train = 480 km

Let the speed of the train be x km/h
Time taken for the journey = 480/x
Given speed is decreased by 8 km/h
Hence the new speed of train = (x – 8) km/h
Time taken for the journey = 480/(x – 8) ½
480 480
 𝑥 =3
𝑥−8
480(𝑥−𝑥+8) 1
=3
𝑥(x−8)
3(x2- 8x) = 8 480
x2- 8x = 8160
x2- 8x -1280 = 0

x2- 40x +32x -1280 = 0

x(x-40) + 32( x- 40) = 0 1
(x-40) ( x+ 32) =0
X= 40, -32
½
Thus the speed of train is 40 km/h

x + 25y = 3500 ...(2)
Subtracting (1) from (2) we have 1
