times its eighth term, show that its 13th term is zero.

Ans : [Board Term-2 2012]

Let the first term of an AP be a , common difference

be d and n th term be an .
Now 5a 5 = 8a 8
5 ^a + 4d h = 8 ^a + 7d h
Now AB2 = ^2 − 5h2 + ^− 2 − 2h2 = 9 + 16 = 25
5a + 20d = 8a + 56d
BC2 = ^− 2 − 2h2 + ^t + 2h2 = 16 + ^t + 2h2
3a + 36d = 0
AC2 = ^5 + 2h2 + ^2 − t h2 = 49 + ^2 − t2h

the form 6q, 6q + 2 or 6q + 4, where q is an integer. a + 4d = a5

Ans : [Board Term1, 2016]
a + 4d = 31 (2)
Let a be any positive integer, then by Euclid’s

division algorithm, a can be written as
d = 7 and a = 3
= = bq + r
Now a = 3, b = 3 + 14 = 17, c = 3 + 21 = 24
Take b = 6 , then 0 # r < 6 because 0 # r < b,
Thus a = 3, b = 17, c = 24.
Thus a = 6q, 6q + 1, 6q + 2, 6q + 3, 6q + 4, 6q + 5
Here 6q, , 6q + 2 and 6q + 4 are divisible by 2 and so
6q, 6q + 2 and 6q + 4 are even positive integers.

AB + AD = BC + CD. If AB = x, BC = h and 2

CD = d, then find x (in term of h and d). A + 2B = 60c ...(1)

Also, given cos ^A + 4B h = 0
cos ^A + 4B h = cos 90c ]cos 90c = 0g
A + 4B = 90c ...(2)
Subtracting equation (2) from equation (1) we get
- 2B =− 30c & B = 15c
From equation (1) we have
A + 2 ^15ch = 60c
Page 12 Sample Paper 13 Solutions

A = 60c − 30c = 30c

(i) 14 th of the AD corresponds to y = 1004 = 25 and
70-80 20 48 75 1500 2nd line corresponds to x = 2 . Thus coordinates of
80-90 24 72 85 2040 green flag point are (2, 25).
(ii) 15 th of the AD corresponds to y = 1005 = 20 and
90-100 8 80 95 760 8th line corresponds to x = 8 . Thus coordinates of
/ f i = 80 / fi xi = 5940 red point are (8, 20).

/ fi xi = 5940 = 74.25 (iii) d = (8 − 2) 2 + (20 − 25) 2

M =

= 62 + 52 = 61
(ii) From cumulative frequency we get that 28 employee
received up to 70 % salary. Rest 80 − 28 = 52 (iv) d = 82 + 202 = 4 29
employee received more than 70 % salary.
(iii) From cumulative frequency we get that 10
employee’s salary is cut by more than 40 %.
(iv) Class 80-90 has the maximum frequency 24,
therefore this is model class. Lower limit is 80.
(v) Cumulative frequency just greater than
2 = 2 = 40 is 48 and the corresponding class is 70-

80. Thus median class is 70-80.

The allotment officer is trying to come up with a

method to calculate fair division of funds across various
affected families so that the fund amount and amount
received per family can be easily adjusted based on
Page 14 Sample Paper 13 Solutions

daily revised numbers. The total fund allotted for a

village is x3 + 6x2 + 20x + 9 . The officer has divided
the fund equally among families of the village and
each family receives an amount of x2 + 2x + 2 . After
distribution, some amount is left.
(i) How many families are there in the village?
(ii) If an amount of < 1911 is left after distribution,
what is value of x ?
(iii) How much amount does each family receive?
(iv) What is the amount of fund allocated?

Ans :
(i) To get number of families we divide x3 + 6x2 + 20x + 9
by x2 + 2x + 2 .

g
x+4
x2 + 2x + 2 x3 + 6x2 + 20x + 9
x 3 + 2x 2 + 2x
4x2 + 18x + 9
4x2 + 8x + 8
10x + 1
Number of families are x + 4 .
(ii) Amount left = 10x + 1
10x + 1 = 1911

x = 1910 = 191
10

(iii) Since, x = 191 , amount received by each family is

x2 + 2x + 2 = (191) 2 + 2 (191) + 2
= 36865 Download unsolved version of this paper from
www.cbse.online
(iv) Since x = 191 , allotted fund,
x3 + 6x2 + 20x + 9 = (x2 + 2x + 2) (x + 4) + 10x + 1
= 36865 (191 + 4) + 1911
= 69, 72, 846
