Previous Board Examination – Full Solved Answers (Set 4)

All answers are written in clear student exam-writing style with proper steps, as required for CBSE board valuation.


Section A – MCQs (Answers)

1. 2

2. 1

3. 14

4. 4

5. √3

Section B – Very Short Answer

6. Find the zero of the polynomial x − 9.

x − 9 = 0
x = 9


7. Evaluate √225.

√225 = 15


8. Find the LCM of 8 and 12.

8 = 2 × 2 × 2
12 = 2 × 2 × 3
LCM = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 = 24


9. Write the value of tan 45°.

tan 45° = 1


10. Find the distance between (3,2) and (3,7).

Distance = √[(3−3)² + (7−2)²]
= √25
= 5 units

Section C – Short Answer

11. Find the zeros of the quadratic polynomial x² − 5x.

x² − 5x = 0
x(x − 5) = 0
x = 0 or x = 5


12. Solve: 4x + 8 = 0.

4x = −8
x = −2


13. Find HCF of 72 and 120 using Euclid’s Division Algorithm.

120 = 72 × 1 + 48
72 = 48 × 1 + 24
48 = 24 × 2 + 0
∴ HCF = 24


14. Prove: cosec²A − cot²A = 1.

We know,
cosec²A = 1 + cot²A
∴ cosec²A − cot²A = 1
Hence proved.


15. Find the distance between (0,−3) and (6,−3).

Distance = √[(6−0)² + (−3+3)²]
= √36
= 6 units


16. Find the area of a circle of radius 7 cm.

Area = πr²
= 22/7 × 7 × 7
= 154 cm²

Section D – Long Answer

17. Solve the quadratic equation x² − 3x − 10 = 0.

x² − 3x − 10 = 0
(x − 5)(x + 2) = 0
x = 5 or x = −2


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

sin 30° = 1/2
cos 60° = 1/2
Value = 1


19. Find the point dividing the line joining (1,3) and (7,3) internally in the ratio 1:1.

Midpoint = ((1+7)/2 , (3+3)/2)
= (4,3)


20. Find the area of a sector of a circle of radius 14 cm and angle 60°.

Area = (θ/360) × πr²
= (60/360) × 22/7 × 14 × 14
= 308/3 cm²

Section E – Case Study Based

21.

Side = 35 m

a) Perimeter = 4 × side = 4 × 35 = 140 m

b) Area = side² = 35 × 35 = 1225 m²

c) Fencing required = 140 m
