IV. Answer the following questions 3x9=27

25. Prove that √3 is an irrational number.
Solution: Let us assume to the contrary that √3 is a rational number.
It can be expressed in the form of p/q
where p and q are co-primes and q≠ 0.
⇒ √3 = p/q
⇒ 3 = p2/q2 (Squaring on both the sides)
⇒ 3q2 = p2………………………………..(1)

10th STANDARD Model paper - 02 Page 6

 MATHEMATICS ENGLISH MEDIUM SET 02 KEY ANSWERS.

It means that 3 divides p2 and also 3 divides p because each factor should appear two times for the
square to exist.
So we have p = 3r
where r is some integer.
⇒ p2 = 9r2………………………………..(2)
from equation (1) and (2)
⇒ 3q2 = 9r2
⇒ q2 = 3r2
We note that the left hand side of this equation is even, while the right hand side of this
equation is odd, which is a contradiction. Therefore there exists no rational number r such
that r2=3.
Hence the root of 3 is an irrational number.
26. Find the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial p(x)=x2+7x+10 and verify the relationship
between the zeroes and coefficients.

32. A student bought some books for Rs. 60. Had he bought 5 more books for the same
amount each book would have cost Re. 1 less. Then find the number of books bought
by him.
Solution: Let the number of books be = x.
Total cost of the books = Rs. 60.
∴ Cost of each book =Rs.60x
If the number of books is (x + 5), then the cost of each book = Rs. 60x+5
Difference in cost is one rupee = Cost of each book when number of books is (x) -
Cost of each book when number of books is (x + 5)
60/x−60/x+5=1
60(x+5)−60x/x(x+5)=1

An arithmetic progression consists of 37 terms. If the sum of its middle three terms is 225
and sum of its last three terms is 429. Then find the A.P.
Solution: we have 37 terms,

The middle term is 2 = 19th term
Its preceding term is 18th term and its succeeding term is 20th term.
Let a,d and n be the first term, common difference and the no. of terms of given AP.
Here n=37
so middle most term is n+12 ⇒37+12⇒18th
∴ three middle most terms are 18th,19th,20th
a18+a19+a20=225⇒a+17d+a+18d+a+19d=225
⇒3a+54d=225 ...(1)
last three terms are 35th,36th,37th
a+34d+a+35d+a+36d=429
⇒3a+105d=429 ...(2)
subtracting (1) from (2), we get
51d=204
⇒d=4
putting d in (1), we get
3a+54×4=225
3a=225−216⇒a=3
Therefore the AP is a,a+d,a+2d,a+3d,....

BQ=74-8
BQ=66m

BM=33m
Then height of the pole at which the shorter rope is tied = 33m
∴ The lengths of the two ropes are 74m and 66m respectively.

38. The tent of a circus company is built by canvas cloth such that a cone is surmounted on
the cylindrical shape. If the height of the cylindrical shape is 9 m, the diameter of the
base of the tent is 30 m and the total height of the tent is 17 m, then find the —
a) Area of the ground occupied by the tent
b) Area of the canvas cloth used for building the tent.
Solution:
Given, For cylinder d=30, r=15m and H=9m
For cone, r=15m(same as cylinder), height h=17-9 = 8m
Now we have to find slant height of cone
l=√ℎ2 + 𝑟 2
= √82 + 152
= √64 + 225
= √289
l = 17m
a) Area of the ground occupied by tent = πr2.
22
= 7 x15x15
= 707.14 sq cm
b) Area of the canvas cloth used for building the tent.
= C.S.A of cylinder + C.S.A of cone
= 2πrH+πrl
= πr(2H+l)
22
= 7 x 15 (2x9+17)
330
= (18+17)
7
330
= 7 (35)
= 330x5
= 1650 sq cm.
