Ans: (a) (–1, 2)
In the following questions 9 and 10, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of
Reason (R). Choose the correct answer out of the following choices.
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true.
9. Assertion (A): The abscissa of a point (5, 2) is 5.
Reason (R): The perpendicular distance of a point from y-axis is called its abscissa.
Ans: (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
10. Assertion (A): 5 is a rational number.
Reason (R): The square roots of all positive integers are irrationals.
Ans: (c) A is true but R is false.
SECTION – B
Questions 11 to 14 carry 2 marks each.
11. If – 1 is a zero of the polynomial p(x) = ax3 – x2 + x + 4, then find the value of ‘a’.
Ans: If – 1 is a zero of the polynomial p(x), then
p(– 1) = 0
a(–1)3 – (–1)2 + (–1) + 4 = 0
–a–1–1+4=0
–a+2=0 a=2
12. Find the coordinates of a point:
(i) whose ordinate is 6 and lies on the y-axis
(ii) whose abscissa is –3 and lies on the x-axis.
Ans: For the point (x, y), x represents abscissa and y represents ordinate. Hence,
(i) The coordinates of a point whose abscissa is zero lies on the y-axis.
Therefore, required coordinates = (0, 6).
(ii) The coordinates of a point whose ordinate is zero and lies on the x-axis. Therefore, required
coordinates = (– 3, 0)
13. In which quadrant the following points lie?
(3, 2), (2, –3), (–4, 4) and (–2, –3)
Ans: Point (3, 2) lies in Ist quadrant
Point (2, –3) lies in IVth quadrant
Point (–4, 4) lies in IInd quadrant
Point (–2, –3) lies in IIIrd quadrant

Ans:
16. If 2x + 3y = 12 and xy = 6, find the value of 8x3 + 27y3.
Ans: We know that (x + y)3 = x3 + y3 + 3xy(x + y)
x3 + y3 = (x + y)3 – 3xy(x + y)
Now, 8x3 + 27y3 = (2x)3 + (3y)3 = (2x + 3y)3 – 3(2x)(3y)(2x + 3y)
= 123 – 18 × 6 × 12 [Given 2x + 3y = 12 and xy = 6]
= 1728 – 1296 = 432
Hence, 8x3 + 27y3 = 432
17. Find the value of a and b so that x + 1 and x – 1 are factors of x4 + ax3 + 2x2 – 3x + b.
Ans: Let f(x) = x4 + ax3 + 2x2 – 3x + b be the given polynomial and g(x) = x + 1, h(x) = x – 1
If g(x) is a factor of f(x), then by factor theorem,
f(–1) = 0
(–1)4 + a(–1)3 + 2(–1)2 – 3(– 1) + b = 0
1–a+2+3+b=0
– a + b = – 6 ...(i)
If h(x) be a factor of f(x), then, again by factor theorem, f(1) = 0
14 + a(1)4 + 2(1)2 – 3(1) + b = 0
1+a+2+3+b=0
a + b = 0 ...(ii)
Adding (i) and (ii), we get
2b = – 6 or b = – 3
Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 3 -
From (ii), we have a – 3 = 0 a = 3
Hence, required value of a and b are 3 and – 3 respectively.

SECTION – E (Case Study Based Questions)
Questions 19 to 20 carry 4 marks each.
19. In January 2021, the vaccination drive for COVID -19 started in 7 states of a country. More than
60% of the people were vaccinated in 4 states out of 7 states, In one of the state vaccination drive
has not been started due to flood although vaccine dose was supplied to that state in advance. In
February 2021, 4 more states were included in this drive and 2 states have got remarkable
response from the people and more than 80% of the population got vaccinated there. Using this
information answer the following questions:
(a) In January 2021, more than 60% of people were vaccinated in 4 states out of 7 states. Find
4
the decimal representation of (2)

have also been set up at points L, M, N, O. (Answer the following questions considering A as
origin).
(a) What are the coordinates of L? (1 mark)
(b) What are the coordinates of N? (1 mark)
(c) Find the distance between L and N (2 marks)
Ans: (a) (4, 7)
(b) (12, 3)
(c) By Pythagoras theorem,
LN2 = AL2 + AN2
⇒ LN2 = 42 + 82 = 16 + 64
⇒ LN2 = 80
⇒ LN = 4√5 units
