ICSE Maths Solved Question Paper 2019  for Class 10

 

Section A [40 marks]
(Answer all questions from this Section.)

Question 1.
(a) Solve the following in equation and write down the solution set : 
11x – 4 < 15x + 4 ≤ 3x + 14, x ∈ W
Represent the solution on a real number line.
(b) A man invests 4500 in shares of a company which is paying 7.5% dividend.
If 100 shares are available at a discount of 10%. Find :
(i) Number of shares he purchases.
(ii) His annual income.
(c) In a class of 40 students, marks obtained by the students in a class test (out of 10) are given below :


Calculate the following for the given distribution :
(i) Median
(ii) Mode


Total investment = ₹ 4500
Face value of a share = ₹ 100
Discount = 10%
∴ Market value of a share = ₹ (100 – 10) = ₹ 90
Now, Number of shares purchased = 4500/90=50


Marks corresponding to cumulative frequency 20 is 6
Thus, the required median is 6.
Clearly, 6 occurs 10 times which is maximum.
Hence, mode is 6.

 

Question 2.
(a) Using the factor theorem, show that (x – 2) is a factor of \(x^3 + x^2 – 4x – 4\)
Hence, factorise the polynomial completely.
(b) Prove that :
(cosec θ – sin θ) (sec θ – cos θ) (tan θ + cot θ) = 1 
(c) In an Arithmetic Progression (A.P.) the fourth and sixth terms are 8 and 14 respectively.
Find the :
(i) first term
(ii) common difference
(iii) sum of the first 20 terms.

Solution :
(a) Given polynomial is p(x) = \(x^3 + x^2 – 4x – 4\)
x – 2 is its factor, if p(2) = 0
p(2) =\( (2)^3 + (2)^2 – 4(2) – 4\) = 8 + 4 – 8 – 4 = 0
Thus, x – 2 is a factor of p(x).
Now, \(x^3 + x^2 – 4x + 4\) = \(x^2(x +1) – 4(x + 1)\)
= \((x + 1) (x^2 – 4)\)
= (x + 1) (x + 2) (x – 2)
Hence, the required factors are (x + 1), (x + 2) and (x – 2).
L.H.S. = (cosec θ – sin θ) (sec θ – cos θ) (tan θ + cot θ)


Hence, first term is – 1, common difference is 3 and sum of the first 20 terms is 550.

 

Question 3.

Curved Surface area of the year = 2πrh
= 2 × 3.1 × 3 × 32 = 595.2 \(cm^2\)

 

Question 4.
(a) The following numbers, K + 3, K + 2, 3K – 7 and 2K – 3 are in proportion. Find K. 
(b) Solve for x the quadratic equation x2 – 4x – 8 = 0
Give your answer correct to three significant figures.
(c) Use ruler and compass only for answering this question.
Draw a circle of radius 4 cm. Mark the center as 0. Mark a point P outside the circle at a distance of 7 cm from the center. Construct two tangents to the circle from the external point P. Measure and write down the length of any one tangent

Solution :
(a) Here, \({K+3 \over K+2}={3K−7 \over 2K−3}\)
⇒ (K + 3) (2K – 3) = (K + 2) (3K – 7).
 = \(2K^2 – 3K + 6K – 9\) = \(3K^2 – 7K + 6K – 14\)
\(K^2 – 4K – 5 = 0\)
⇒ (K – 5) (K + 1) = 0
⇒ K = 5 or K = – 1

(b) Given quadratic equation is \(x^2 – 4x – 8 = 0\)
By using quadratic formula, we have

= 2(1±√3)=2(1±1.73205)=2(2.73205) or 2(−0.73205)
= 5.46410 or – 1.4641
= 5.46 or – 1.46

(i) Slope of BC.
(ii) Equation of a line perpendicular to BC and passing through A.
(c) Using ruler and a compass only construct a semi-circle with diameter BC = 7 cm. Locate a
point A on the circumference of the semicircle such that A is equidistant from B and C. Complete the cyclic quadrilateral ABCD, such that D is equidistant from AB and BC. Measure ∠ADC and write it down. 
 

Solution :
(a) Let the first three terms of an A.P. be a – d, a and a + d.
According to the statement, we have
a – d + a + a + d = 42
3a = 42
a = 14
Now,(a – d)(a + d) = 52
\(a^2 – d^2\) = 52
\(14^2 – d^2\) = 52
\(d^2\) = 196 – 52 = 144
⇒ d = ± 12
Hence, the first term is 14 and common difference is ± 12.

(b) Vertices of a ∆ABC are A(3, 8), B(-1, 2) and C(6, -6)
ICSE Maths Question Paper 2019 Solved for Class 10 30

ICSE Maths Question Paper 2019 Solved for Class 10 37
Applying componendo and dividendo, we have
ICSE Maths Question Paper 2019 Solved for Class 10 38
Squaring both sides, we obtain
ICSE Maths Question Paper 2019 Solved for Class 10 39

(c) Total investment = ₹ 8500
Market value of each share = ₹ 170
Number of shares purchased = 8500/170 = 50
Dividend received = ₹ (10/100) × 50 × 100 = ₹ 500
Now, market value of each share = ₹ (170 + 30) = ₹ 200
Amount received on selling = ₹ (50 x 200) = ₹ 10000
Market value of new shares = ₹ 125 each
Number of shares purchased = 10000/125 = 80
Dividend received = 12/100 × 80 ×100 =  ₹960
Change in income = ₹ (960 – 500)
= ₹ 460

ICSE Maths Question Paper 2019 Solved for Class 10 42
Here, N = 120
N2 = 1202 = 60
Median marks = 42 marks
Number of students who did not pass = 78 students
Upper quartile marks = 57 marks

In rt. ∠ed ∆QBA,
ICSE Maths Question Paper 2019 Solved for Class 10 44
ICSE Maths Question Paper 2019 Solved for Class 10 45
Hence, the height of the tower is 47.3 m.ICSE Maths Question Paper 2019 Solved for Class 10 46

 

 

Question 11.
(a) Using the Remainder Theorem find the remainders obtained when xy + (kx + 8)x + k is divided by x + 1 and x – 2. [3]
Hence, find k if the sum of the two remainders is 1.
(b) The product of two consecutive natural numbers which are multiples of 3 is equal to 810. Find the two numbers. [3]
(c) In the given figure, ABCDE is a pentagon inscribed in a circle such that AC is a diameter and side BC||AE. If ∆BAC = 50°, find giving reasons : [4]
(i) ∠ACB
(ii) ∠EDC
(iii) ∠BEC
ICSE Maths Question Paper 2019 Solved for Class 10 47
Hence, prove that BE is also a diameter.
 

Solution :
Given polynomial is p(x) =\( x^3 +(kx + 8)x + k\)
g(x) = x + 1
∴ R1 = P(-1)
= \((-1)^3 + {k{-1} + 8} (-1) + k\)
= -1 + k – 8 + k
= 2k – 9
 

h(x) = x – 2
\(R_2\) = P(2)
= \((2)^3 + (2k + 8)2 +k\)
= 8 + 4k + 16 + k
5k + 24
Now, R1 + R2 = 1
⇒ 2k – 9 + 5k + 24 = 1
⇒ 7k = 1 + 9 – 24
⇒ 7k = – 14
⇒ k = – 2

(b) Let the two consecutive natural numbers which are multiples of 3 be 3x and 3(x + 1).
Now, 3x(3x + 3) = 810
\(x^2 + x = 90\)
\(x^2 + x – 90 = 0\)
⇒ (x + 10) (x – 9) = 0
⇒ x = 9 or x = – 10
Rejecting negative value of x, because numbers are natural. We have x = 9.
Hence, the required numbers are 27 and 30.

(c) Since AC is a diameter and angle in a semi-circle is right angle
∠B = 90° and
∠ACB = 40°
Also, BC || AE
∠EAC = ∠ACB
= 40°
[alt. int. ∠s]
ICSE Maths Question Paper 2019 Solved for Class 10 48
In cyclic quadrilateral ACDE
∠EAC + ∠EDC = 180°
40° + ∠EDC = 180°
∠EDC = 180° – 40° = 140°
∠BEC = ∠BAC
= 50° [∠s in the same segment]
Also,
∠EAC = ∠EBC
= 40° [∠s in the same segment]
∠ABE = ∠ABC – ∠EBC
= 90° – 40°
= 50°
Again, ∠ABE = ∠ACE = 50° [∠s in the same segment]
Now, ∠ACE +∠ACB = 50° + 40°
= 90°
∠BCE = 90°
Hence, BE is a diameter, because angle is a semi-circle is right angle.
