Class 10 Mathematics

Full Model Answers – Previous Years Question Paper

These answers are written exactly in the way a student should write in the Class 10 Board Examination.


Section A – MCQs

1. HCF of 306 and 657 = 9

2. α + β = 5/2

3. x-intercept

4. sin 30° = 1/2

5. Distance = 5 units

6. Number of tangents = 0

7. Area becomes 4 times

8. Mean = 5.5

9. Sum = n(n + 1)/2

10. tan 45° = 1

Section B – Very Short Answer Questions

11. Use Euclid’s Division Algorithm to find HCF of 135 and 225.

225 = 135 × 1 + 90
135 = 90 × 1 + 45
90 = 45 × 2 + 0

∴ HCF = 45


12. Find zeroes of x² − 7x + 10.

x² − 7x + 10 = 0
(x − 5)(x − 2) = 0

∴ Zeroes are 5 and 2.


13. sin 60° + cos 30°

= √3/2 + √3/2 = √3


14. Distance between (1, 2) and (4, 6)

= √[(4−1)² + (6−2)²]
= √(9 + 16) = √25 = 5


15. Midpoint of (2,2) and (6,6)

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

Section C – Short Answer Questions

21. Prove that √3 is irrational.

Assume √3 is rational.
√3 = a/b where a, b are co-prime.

Squaring both sides:
3 = a²/b² ⇒ a² = 3b²

a² divisible by 3 ⇒ a divisible by 3.
Let a = 3k.

9k² = 3b² ⇒ b² = 3k² ⇒ b divisible by 3.

This contradicts the assumption that a and b are co-prime.

∴ √3 is irrational.


22. Find quadratic equation whose zeroes are 3 and −2.

Sum = 3 + (−2) = 1
Product = −6

Required equation:
x² − (sum)x + product = 0

x² − x − 6 = 0

Section D – Long Answer Questions

31. Find HCF and LCM of 26 and 91.

26 = 2 × 13
91 = 7 × 13

HCF = 13
LCM = 2 × 7 × 13 = 182

LCM × HCF = 182 × 13 = 2366
26 × 91 = 2366

∴ Verified.


32. Solve x² − 5x − 6 = 0

x² − 6x + x − 6 = 0
(x − 6)(x + 1) = 0

x = 6 or x = −1
