Class 10 Mathematics

Previous Board Examination – Full Solved Answers (Set 3)

The following answers are written in clear student style with proper steps, as expected by CBSE board examiners.


Section A – MCQs (Answers)

1. −4

2. 1/2

3. 6

4. 4

5. 1/√3

Section B – Very Short Answer

6. Find the zero of the polynomial x.

x = 0


7. Evaluate √196.

√196 = 14


8. Find the HCF of 16 and 24.

16 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2
24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3
HCF = 2 × 2 × 2 = 8


9. Write the value of sin 0°.

sin 0° = 0


10. Find the distance between (2,3) and (2,9).

Distance = √[(2−2)² + (9−3)²]
= √36
= 6 units

Section C – Short Answer

11. Find the zeros of the quadratic polynomial x² − 4x.

x² − 4x = 0
x(x − 4) = 0
x = 0 or x = 4


12. Solve: 5x − 10 = 0.

5x = 10
x = 2


13. Find HCF of 54 and 126 using Euclid’s Division Algorithm.

126 = 54 × 2 + 18
54 = 18 × 3 + 0
∴ HCF = 18


14. Prove: sec²A − tan²A = 1.

We know,
sec²A = 1 + tan²A
∴ sec²A − tan²A = 1
Hence proved.


15. Find the distance between (−1,2) and (5,2).

Distance = √[(5+1)² + (2−2)²]
= √36
= 6 units


16. Find the area of a circle of radius 21 cm.

Area = πr²
= 22/7 × 21 × 21
= 1386 cm²

Section D – Long Answer

17. Solve the quadratic equation x² − 7x + 10 = 0.

x² − 7x + 10 = 0
(x − 5)(x − 2) = 0
x = 5 or x = 2


18. Find the value of sin 60° / cos 30°.

sin 60° = √3/2
cos 30° = √3/2
Value = 1


19. Find the point dividing the line joining (−2,4) and (6,4) internally in the ratio 1:1.

Midpoint = ((−2+6)/2 , (4+4)/2)
= (2,4)


20. Find the area of a sector of radius 21 cm and angle 120°.

Area = (θ/360) × πr²
= (120/360) × 22/7 × 21 × 21
= 924 cm²

Section E – Case Study Based

21.

Length = 40 m, Breadth = 25 m

a) Perimeter = 2(l + b)
= 2(40 + 25) = 130 m

b) Area = l × b = 40 × 25 = 1000 m²

c) Fencing required = 130 m
