A Feris wheel (or a big wheel in the United Kingdom) is an amusement ride consisting of a rotating upright
wheel with multiple passenger-carrying components (commonly referred to as passenger cars, cabins, tubs,
capsules, gondolas, or pods) attached to the rim in such a way that as the wheel turns, they are kept upright,
usually by gravity.
After taking a ride in Ferris wheel, Aarti came out from the crowd and was observing her friends who were
enjoying the ride. She was curious about the different angles and measures that the wheel will form. She forms

 Solution

Section A
1. (a) on the negative direction of y-axis
Explanation: Since x= 0 so point lies on y-axis, but value of yis -ve.
So, point lies on -ve direction of y-axis.
2.

(c) 16/3 cm²

Explanation: Here, zy3= V48
’x=/16
Side = 2x
Area of equilateral triangle = (Side)
-(2)?
=/3z sq cm
=/3(/16)=1643
3.

(d) 60°

Explanation:

In AABC
ZA+ /B + ZC= 1800

’2C= 1800 - 400 - 110 = 300

Since AB is a chord and angle made by a chord at the centre is twice the angle made by it on any point on the circumference,
therefore:
z=2x 30 =600

(d) x=50°and y= 50°

Explanation: ABCD is a rhombus and a rhombus is also a parallelogram. A rhombus has four equal sides.
The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular bisector of each other.
So, in AAOB, ZOAB = 40°, ZAOB= 90 and ZABO = 180°- (40° + 90°) =50
.".x =50
In AABD, AB = AD
So, ZABD = ZADB = 50°
Hence, x = 50° and y = 50°
5.

-5 x 5/5= 25/5
6.

(d) AAS
Explanation: In AABD and AADC, we have
LABD = ZACD (given)
ZBDA = ZCDA ( 909)
AD = AD (common in both)
Hence, AABD AADC, by AAS criterion
7.
(d) many
Explanation: Because one point can be solution of many equations. So many equations can be pass from one point.
8.
(d) not defined
Explanation: The general form of apolynomial is a,x", where n isa natural number.
For zero polynomial a, =0. 9
Since the largest value of n for which a, is non-zero is negative infinity (all the integers are bigger than negative infinity ,.
Therefore, the degree of zero polynomials is not defined.
9.
(b) 2/2+ 3
Explanation: 2/2+ V3
10.
(b) 38°
Explanation: ZDAC=ZACB =32° (altermate angles)
ZAOB + ZCOB = 180° ( linear pair)
2COB = 180- 70°= 110º
In triangle BOC,
ZBOC + ZOCB + ZCBO = 180° ( angle sum property)
110° + 32 °+ ZCB0 = 180º
ZCBO = 180°- 1420 = 38°
11.

(b) Infinitely many solutions
Explanation: Given equation is 2x - 5y =7
 There is no given value of x and y so we can take any values.
For every value of x, we get a corresponding value of y and vice-versa.
Therefore, it has infinitely many solutions.
13.
(b) 1000

110

Explanation: C
1500

D E

x+ 110° = 180° (Supplimentary angles)

x = 70°

y + 150° = 180° (Supplimentary angles)

y= 30°
ZACD= 70° +30° = 100o
14.

(c) 11
Explanation: (32) + (-7)o +(64)
=2+ 1+8
= 11

15.

(c) 90°

Explanation:

y=LACP (Angles of same arc)

LAPC = 180- 90 =90 (ZAPC, LCPB are linear pair)
Thus from triangle APC,
z+y+ LAPC= 1800 10
Hence, z+y=90
16.
(d) any number
Explanation: Abscissa of point in x axis is can be any number but ordinate will always be zero, because for any point to lie on
X-axis its y-ordinate must be equal to zero.
17. (a) y= bz-7
Explanation: 5x - 2y =7
-2y =7- 5x
2y = 5x - 7

18.

(b) -6
Explanation: p(x) = 5x - 4x +3
Putting x=-1 in p(x), we get
p(-1) =5x (-1)-4 x (-1² +3 =-5-4+3 =-6

Explanation: Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Section B
21. We have 1 = 23 ...(1) [Given]
And 2 = 14...(2) [Given]
Now, by Euclid's axiom 2, we have if equal are added to equals, the whole are equal.
Adding (1) and (2), we get
21+ 22= 23+ 24
Hence, ZA = 20.
22. It is known that, if two lines intersect each other, then the vertically opposite angles are equal. It is a theorem, therefore,given
Statement I is false and not an axiom.
Also, we know that, if a ray stands on a line, then the sum of two adjacent angles so formed is equal to 180°. It is an axiom.
Therefore, given statement parallel is true and an axiom.
Thus, in given statements, first is false and second is an axiom. Therefore, given system of axioms is not consistent.
23. A point lies on y-axis if x-coordinate is zero. Hence C, D, F and H points lie on y-axis.

So, radius of cone is 30 cm
Hence, diameter of its base = 2 radius

.. The sides of the triangular field are 6 x 20m,7 x 20m, 8 x 20m, iie., 120 m, 140 m and 160 m.
Now, s = Half the perimeter of triangular field.
=x 420m =210m
Using Heron's formula,
Area of triangular field= /s(8- a)(s - b) - c)
V210(210 - 120)(210 - 140)(210 - 160)
=210 x 90 x 70 X50
= V66150000 = 8133.265m?
Hence, the area of the triangular field = 8133.265 m.
OR
Given that the sides of atriangle are in the ratio 5: 12: 13 and its perimeter is 150m
Let the sides of the triangle be 5x m, 12x m and 13x m.
We know: 14
Perimeter = Sum of all sides
or, 150 = 5x + 12x + 13x
or, 30x = 150

The factors of constant term - 45 are t1,± 3, t5, ± 9, ± 15, ± 45
The factors of the coefficient of x is 2. Hence possible rational roots of f(x) are
±1, ±3, t5, +9, 15, ±45, t1/2, ±3/2, +5/2, +9/2, ±15/2, + 45/2

 Now Veena just entered the class so the teacher told her to form 2nd equation with two variables x and y.
Now teacher Told Reeta to find the values ofx and y. Peter and kelvin were told to verify the numbers x and y.

VEENA

(i) x-y= 10
2x + 3y = 120
(iü) 2x +3y = 120
(iiix - y = 10 ..(1)
2x + 3y -= 120 ...(2)
Multiply equation (1) by 3 and to equation (2)
3x - 3y + 2x +3y = 30 + 120
’ 5x = 150
’X= 30

Hence the number thought by Prateek is 30.

OR
We know that x - y = 10 ..(i) and 2x + 3y = 120...(ii)
Put x =30 in equation (i)
30- y= 10
’y=40
Hence number thought by Kevin = 40

In a forest, abig tree got broken due to heavy rain and wind. Due to this rain the big branches AB and AC with lengths Sm fell
down on the ground. Branch AC makes an angle of 30° with the main tree AP. The distance of Point B from P is 4 m. You can
observe that AABP is congruent to AACP.

90

In AACP and AABP

AB = AC (Given)
AP = AP (common)
ZAPB = ZAPC = 900
By RHS criteria AACPNAABP
(ii) In AACP
ZAPC + /PAC + LACP = 180º
’ 90° + 30° + ZACP = 180° (angle sum property of A)
’ LACP = 180°- 1200 = 600
ZACP = 600
(iiiAACP AABP

AC? = AP²+ PC?
’ 25 = Ap + 16
’ AP2 = 25- 16 =9
’ AP =3
Total height of the tree =AP +5 =3+5=8m

AFerris wheel (or a big wheel in the United Kingdom) is an amusement ride consisting of a rotating upright wheel with multiple
passenger-carrying components (commonly referred to as passenger cars, cabins, tubs, capsules, gondolas, or pods) attached to the
rim in such a way that as the wheel turns, they are kept upright, usually by gravity.
After taking a ride in Ferris wheel, Aarti came out from the crowd and was observing her friends who were enjoying the ride. She
was curious about the different angles and measures that the wheel will form. She forms the figure as given below

(i)

ZROQ + ZRPQ = 1800

ZROQ + 30° = 180

ZROO = 1500
(ii)

ZRQP = ZOQP - Z0QR

= 90°-150
= 750
(iii)

ZRSQ = ZROQ

ZRSQ = 75°
OR

ZORP = 900
radius and tangent are L at point of contact
