    Probability Solved Question - 3

    Two dice are thrown at the same time. Find the probability that:

    (i) the sum of the numbers is 9

    (ii) the sum is a multiple of 3

    (iii) both numbers are even

    (iv) at least one number is 6

    (v) the sum is less than 4

    (i) Sum = 9

    Possible outcomes:
    (3,6), (4,5), (5,4), (6,3) → 4 outcomes

    Probability = 4/36 = 1/9

    (ii) Sum is a multiple of 3

    Multiples of 3: 3, 6, 9, 12

    Sum = 3 → (1,2), (2,1) → 2
    Sum = 6 → (1,5), (2,4), (3,3), (4,2), (5,1) → 5
    Sum = 9 → 4 outcomes
    Sum = 12 → (6,6) → 1

    Total = 2 + 5 + 4 + 1 = 12

    Probability = 12/36 = 1/3

    (iii) Both numbers are even

    Even numbers: 2, 4, 6 → 3 options each

    Total outcomes = 3 × 3 = 9

    Probability = 9/36 = 1/4

    (iv) At least one number is 6

    Use complement:
    No 6 → 5 × 5 = 25 outcomes

    So, at least one 6 = 36 − 25 = 11

    Probability = 11/36

    (v) Sum is less than 4

    Possible sums: 2, 3

    Sum = 2 → (1,1) → 1
    Sum = 3 → (1,2), (2,1) → 2

    Total = 3

    Probability = 3/36 = 1/12

    (ii) not green

    Total balls = 6 + 4 + 5 = 15

    (i) Probability of blue ball = 4 / 15

    (ii) Not green = red + blue = 6 + 4 = 10
    Probability = 10 / 15 = 2/3

    Mensuration Solved Question - 4

    A cylindrical vessel of radius 7 cm contains water up to a height of 10 cm. If a solid sphere of radius 3.5 cm is immersed completely, find the rise in the water level. 

    Volume of sphere = (4/3)πr³
    = (4/3)π(3.5)³

    Rise in water level = h

    Volume displaced = volume of cylinder rise

    ⇒ (4/3)π(3.5)³ = π(7)² × h

    Cancel π:
    ⇒ (4/3)(3.5)³ = 49h

    ⇒ (4/3)(42.875) = 49h
    ⇒ 171.5/3 = 49h
    ⇒ 57.17 ≈ 49h

    ⇒ h = 57.17 / 49 ≈ 1.17 cm

    Final Answer: Rise in water level ≈ 1.17 cm

    Ratio = 4πrh : 2πrh = 2 : 1

    Final Answer: Curved surface area becomes twice (double)


     

  • 05 00 PM IST - 27 Mar'26

    Mensuration Solved Question - 1

    The ratio of radius and slant height of a Right circular cone is 7:25. If its curved surface area is 550 cm², then find its radius.

    Let radius = 7x, slant height = 25x

    Curved Surface Area (CSA) = πrl

    ⇒ 550 = π × (7x) × (25x)
    ⇒ 550 = π × 175x²

    Using π = 22/7:
    ⇒ 550 = (22/7) × 175x²
    ⇒ 550 = 22 × 25x²
    ⇒ 550 = 550x²

    ⇒ x² = 1 ⇒ x = 1

    Radius = 7x = 7 cm

    Final Answer: Radius = 7 cm

    LHS:
    cos(60° + 30°) = cos 90° = 0

    RHS:
    cos 60° cos 30° − sin 60° sin 30°
    = (1/2)(√3/2) − (√3/2)(1/2)
    = √3/4 − √3/4 = 0

    Express ‘sin θ’ in terms of ‘tan θ’.

    We know:
    tan θ = sin θ / cos θ

    Also,
    sin²θ + cos²θ = 1

    Divide by cos²θ:
    tan²θ + 1 = 1 / cos²θ

    ⇒ cos θ = 1 / √(1 + tan²θ)

    Now,
    sin θ = tan θ × cos θ

    ⇒ sin θ = tan θ / √(1 + tan²θ)

    Final Answer: sin θ = tan θ / √(1 + tan²θ)

    Geometry Solved Question - 4

    In a triangle ABC, D is a point on BC such that AD is perpendicular to BC. If BD = DC, what can you say about triangle ABC?

    Given:
    AD ⟂ BC
    BD = DC

    So, D is the midpoint of BC

    Since AD is perpendicular and passes through midpoint,
    AD is the perpendicular bisector of BC

    Therefore,
    AB = AC

    So, triangle ABC is isosceles

    Final Answer: Triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle (AB = AC)

    Geometry Solved Question - 3

    In a circle of radius 7 cm, find the length of a chord that is at a distance of 5 cm from the centre.

    Radius (r) = 7 cm
    Distance from centre to chord (d) = 5 cm

    Perpendicular from centre bisects the chord

    Using Pythagoras:
    Half chord length = √(r² − d²)
    = √(7² − 5²)
    = √(49 − 25)
    = √24 = 2√6

    Full chord length = 2 × 2√6 = 4√6 cm

    Final Answer: Length of chord = 4√6 cm

    Algebra Solved Question - 4

    Is the pair of linear equations 3x − 5y + 7 = 0 and 6x − 10y + 13 = 0 inconsistent? Justify your answer.

    Equation 1: 3x − 5y + 7 = 0
    Equation 2: 6x − 10y + 13 = 0

    Compare ratios:

    a₁/a₂ = 3/6 = 1/2
    b₁/b₂ = (−5)/(−10) = 1/2
    c₁/c₂ = 7/13

    Since:
    a₁/a₂ = b₁/b₂ ≠ c₁/c₂

    Therefore, lines are parallel and do not intersect.

    Conclusion: The system is inconsistent (no solution).

    Algebra Solved Question - 3

    If the pair of linear equations :

    (3k + 1)x + 3y - 2 = 0

    and

    (k² + 1)x + (k - 2)y - 5 = 0 has no solutions, then find the value of k.

    If the pair of linear equations:
    (3k + 1)x + 3y − 2 = 0
    (k² + 1)x + (k − 2)y − 5 = 0
    has no solutions, find the value of k.

    Solution:
    For no solution:
    a₁/a₂ = b₁/b₂ ≠ c₁/c₂

    So,
    (3k + 1)/(k² + 1) = 3/(k − 2)

    Cross multiply:
    (3k + 1)(k − 2) = 3(k² + 1)

    ⇒ 3k² − 6k + k − 2 = 3k² + 3
    ⇒ 3k² − 5k − 2 = 3k² + 3

    Cancel 3k²:
    −5k − 2 = 3

    ⇒ −5k = 5
    ⇒ k = −1

    Check condition:
    c₁/c₂ = −2/−5 = 2/5

    a₁/a₂ = −2/2 = −1

    So, a₁/a₂ ≠ c₁/c₂ 

    Final Answer: k = −1

    Algebra Solved Question - 2

    In an arithmetic progression, the first term is 1, the last term is 20, and the sum of all the terms is 399; then find the number of terms in the progression.

    First term (a) = 1
    Last term (l) = 20
    Sum (Sₙ) = 399

    Formula:
    Sₙ = n/2 (a + l)

    ⇒ 399 = n/2 (1 + 20)
    ⇒ 399 = n/2 × 21
    ⇒ 399 = 21n/2

    ⇒ 798 = 21n
    ⇒ n = 798 / 21 = 38

    Final Answer: Number of terms = 38

    Algebra Solved Question - 1

    Write a Quadratic equation whose roots are the values of sin 30° and cos 60°.

    sin 30° = 1/2
    cos 60° = 1/2

    So, roots are: α = 1/2, β = 1/2

    Sum of roots = α + β = 1/2 + 1/2 = 1
    Product of roots = αβ = (1/2)(1/2) = 1/4

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

    ⇒ x² − x + 1/4 = 0

    Multiplying by 4 to remove fraction:
    4x² − 4x + 1 = 0

    Topper's Attempt Strategy

    After talking to multiple toppers of the exam, we found a very similar and interesting pattern in how they attempted the paper. 

    1. Use the initial reading time to categorise questions:
      • Type A (Instant): Questions you know by heart.
      • Type B (Needs Thought): Questions where you know the method but need careful calculation.
      • Type C (Tricky): Higher-order thinking questions.
    2. Start with Section III (6-mark questions) while your mind is fresh and your energy is high. These carry the most weight. Then move to Section II, Section I, and finally the Objective Bits (Part B).
    3. Aim to finish the paper 20 minutes before the bell. Use this time only to recalculate values and check if you copied the numbers correctly from the question paper.

    Geometry Solved Question - 1

    AOB is the diameter of a circle with centre ‘O’ and AC is a tangent to the circle at A. If ∠BOC = 130°, then find ∠ACO.

    Since AC is a tangent at A, radius OA ⟂ AC
    ⇒ ∠OAC = 90°

    In triangle AOC:
    OA = OC (radii of the circle)
    So, triangle AOC is isosceles

    Given: ∠BOC = 130°
    Since AOB is a straight line,
    ∠AOC = 180° − 130° = 50°

    In triangle AOC:
    ∠OAC + ∠ACO + ∠AOC = 180°

    ⇒ 90° + ∠ACO + 50° = 180°
    ⇒ ∠ACO = 180° − 140° = 40°

    Final Answer: ∠ACO = 40°
