    Class 10 - Mathematics

    1. (a) an irrational number


    Explanation: Let a be rational and √b is irrational.
    If possible let a + √b be rational.
    Then a + √b is rational and a is rational.
    ⇒ [(a + √b) − a] is rational [Difference of two rationals is rational]

    ⇒ √b is rational.
    This contradicts the fact that √b is irrational.
    The contradiction arises by assuming that a + √b is rational.
    Therefore, a + √b is irrational.
    2. (b) 3, -1
    Explanation: x2 - 2x - 3 = x2 - 3x + x - 3
    = x(x - 3) + (x - 3) = (x - 3) (x + 1)
    ∴ (x - 3)(x + 1) = 0 ⇒ x = 3 or x = -1

    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
    39
    x= 13
    =3
    Now putting the value of x in (i), we get
    2 × 3 + 3y = 12
    12−6
    ∴ y= 3
    =2
    4. (c) Real and Equal roots
    Explanation: D = b2 - 4ac
    D = (-20)2 - 4 × 4 × 25
    D = 400 - 400
    D = 0. Hence Real and equal roots.
    5. (c) Arithmetic Progression
    Explanation: Progressions with an equal common difference are known as Arithmetic Progression. i.e the difference between
    any two consecutive terms is constant throughout the series, this constant difference is called common difference usually
    denoted by the letter d
    if a is the 1st term, d is a common difference, then the AP is represented by a, a+d, a+2d, a+3d ... a + (n - 1)d
    6. (d) 3, -9
    Explanation: Let the ordinate of other end = y
    then distance between (2, -3) and (10, y) = 10 units
    −−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
    2 2
    ⇒ √(x2 − x1 ) + (y2 − y1 ) = 10

    −−−−−−−−−−−−−−− −
    2 2
    ⇒ √(10 − 2) + (y + 3) = 10
    −−− −−−−− −−−−
    2 2
    ⇒ √(8) + (y + 3) = 10

    Squaring both sides


    (8)2 + (y + 3)2 = (10)2 ⇒ 64 + (y + 3)2 = 100
    ⇒ (y + 3)2 = 100 - 64 = 36 = (6)2
    ⇒ (y + 3)2 - (6)2 = 0 ⇒ (y + 3 + 6) (y + 3 - 6)
    = 0 {∵ a2 - b2 = (a + b) (a - b)}

    1/2
    ⇒ (y + 9) (y - 3) = 0
    Either y + 9 = 0, then y = -9
    or y - 3 = 0, then y = 3
    ∴ y = 3, -9
    7. (a) 9
    Explanation: Given: 9 sec2A - 9 tan2A
    = 9(sec2A - tan2A)
    = 9 × 1 = 9 ... [∵ sec2θ - tan2θ = 1]
    8. (c) 4
    Explanation: Suppose AB is the ladder of length x m
    ∴ OA = 2m, ∠ OAB = 60o

    In right △AOB, sec 60o = x

    ⇒ 2= x

    2
    ⇒ =4m
