The probability of getting a number divisible by 3 in throwing a dice is: [1]

A\(\frac{1}{6}\)
B\(\frac{1}{3}\)
C\(\frac{1}{2}\)
D\(\frac{2}{3}\)
Answer & Solution

Option (b) is correct.

Explanation: All possible out comes of a dice \(=\{1,2,3,4,5,6\}\)

\[ n(\mathrm{E})=6 \]

Favourable outcomes (divisible by 3 )

\[ \begin{aligned} & =\{3,6\} \\ n(\mathrm{~F}) & =2 \end{aligned} \]

Probability of getting a number divisible by 3

\[ \begin{aligned} & =\frac{\text { Favourable outcomes }}{\text { Total no. of outcomes }} \\ & =\frac{n(\mathrm{~F})}{n(\mathrm{E})}=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3} \end{aligned} \]

The volume of a conical tent is \(\mathbf{4 6 2} \mathbf{~ m}^{\mathbf{3}}\) and the area of the base is \(\mathbf{1 5 4} \mathbf{~ m}^{\mathbf{2}}\). The height of the cone is: [1]

A15 m
B12 m
C9 m
D24 m
Answer & Solution

Option (c) is correct.

Explanation: Given, Volume of conical tent \(=462 \mathrm{~m}^{3}\) and Area of the base \(=154 \mathrm{~m}^{2}\) We know that

\[ \begin{aligned} \text { Volume of a conical tent }= & \frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h \\ = & \frac{1}{3} \times \text { Area of base } \\ & \times \text { height } \end{aligned} \]

⇒

\[ 462=\frac{1}{3} \times 154 \times h \]

⇒

\[ h=\frac{462 \times 3}{154}=9 \mathrm{~m} \]

A60°
B45°
C30°
D90°
Answer & Solution

Option (b) is correct.

Explanation: Height of the light house \(=80 \mathrm{~m}\) Distance of the point from the foot of the light house \(=80 \mathrm{~m}\) Let the angle of elevation be \(\theta\), then \(\tan \theta\)

\[ =\frac{\text { Perpendicular }}{\text { Base }} \]
ICSE Class 10 Mathematics 2022 Semester 2 Question 1(v) solution figure
\[ \tan \theta=\frac{\mathrm{AB}}{\mathrm{BC}}=\frac{80}{80}=1 \]
\[ \begin{aligned} \tan \theta= & \tan 45^{\circ} \\ & \quad\left(\because \tan 45^{\circ}=1\right) \end{aligned} \]

So, \(\theta=45^{\circ}\)

\[ \angle \mathrm{BCD}=(x+10)^{\circ} \]

So,

\[ \angle \mathrm{BAD}+\angle \mathrm{BCD}=180^{\circ} \]

(Sum of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary)

\[ \begin{aligned} \Rightarrow \quad(2 x+5)^{\circ}+(x+10)^{\circ} & =180^{\circ} \\ (3 x+15)^{\circ} & =180^{\circ} \\ 3 x & =165^{\circ} \\ x & =\frac{165^{\circ}}{3}=55^{\circ} \end{aligned} \]

\[ \frac{1}{1+\sin \theta}+\frac{1}{1-\sin \theta}=2 \sec ^{2} \theta \]
Answer & Solution

L.H.S.

\[ \begin{aligned} & =\frac{1}{1+\sin \theta}+\frac{1}{1-\sin \theta} \\ & =\frac{(1-\sin \theta)+(1+\sin \theta)}{(1+\sin \theta)(1-\sin \theta)} \\ & =\frac{2}{1-\sin ^{2} \theta}=\frac{2}{\cos ^{2} \theta} \quad\left(\because \sin ^{2} \theta+\cos ^{2} \theta=1\right) \\ & =2 \sec ^{2} \theta=\text { R.H.S. }\left(\because \frac{1}{\cos \theta}=\sec \theta\right) \end{aligned} \]

Find ‘ \(a\) ‘ if \(\mathbf{A}(2 a+2,3), \mathbf{B}(7,4)\) and C ( \(\mathbf{2} \boldsymbol{a}+\mathbf{5}, \mathbf{2}\) ) are collinear. [2]

Answer & Solution

Given A \((2 a+2,3), \mathrm{B}(7,4)\) and C \((2 a+5,2)\) are collinear. When three points are colliner, then

\[ \frac{1}{2}\left[x_{1}\left(y_{2}-y_{3}\right)+x_{2}\left(y_{3}-y_{1}\right)+x_{3}\left(y_{1}-y_{2}\right)\right]=0 \]

or \(x_{1}\left(y_{2}-y_{3}\right)+x_{2}\left(y_{3}-y_{1}\right)+x_{3}\left(y_{1}-y_{2}\right)=0\) We have

\[ \Rightarrow \quad \begin{aligned} x_{1}=2 a+2, x_{2}=7, \quad x_{3}=2 a+5 \\ y_{1}=3, y_{2}=4, \quad y_{3}=2 \\ {[(2 a+2)(4-2)+7(2-3)+(2 a+5)} \\ 4 a+4-7-2 a-5=0 \quad(3-4)]=0 \\ 2 a-8=0 \\ a=\frac{8}{2}=4 \end{aligned} \]

ICSE Class 10 Mathematics 2022 Semester 2 Question 2(iv) solution figure

(a)

\[ \angle \mathrm{QPR}+\angle \mathrm{QOR}=180^{\circ} \]

(supplementary angles)

\[ \begin{aligned} 70^{\circ}+\angle \mathrm{QOR} & =180^{\circ} \\ \angle \mathrm{QOR} & =110^{\circ} \end{aligned} \]

(b)

\[ \begin{array}{r} \text { Reflex } \\ \qquad \begin{array}{r} \angle \mathrm{QOR}=360^{\circ}-110^{\circ}=250^{\circ} \\ \angle \mathrm{QSR} \end{array}=\frac{1}{2} \text { Reflex } \angle \mathrm{QOR} \end{array} \]

( ∵ The angle subtended by an arc at the centre is double the angle subtended by it on the remaining part of the circle.)

\[ \angle \mathrm{QSR}=\frac{1}{2} \times 250^{\circ}=125^{\circ} \]

On solving above two equations we get the intersection points as (4, 0). Now, equation of line parallel to \(2 \mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y}-7=\) 0 is given by

\[ 2 x+y=\lambda \]

which is passing through \((4,0)\) So,

\[ \begin{aligned} 2 \times 4+0 & =\lambda \\ \lambda & =8 \end{aligned} \]

So,the required equation of the line is 2x + y \(=8\) or,

\[ 2 x+y-8=0 \]

Other than the given class intervals, we assume a class interval 0-10 prior the first class with zero frequency. Now, plot the points (10, 0), (20, 3), (30, 11), (40, 25), (50, 34), (60, 38), \((70,40)\) on the graph paper. In order to obtain ogive, we draw a smooth curve passing through these points. In order to find the median, we first locate the point \(\frac{\mathrm{N}}{2}=\frac{40}{2}=20\) on Y-axis. Let the point P from this draw a line parallel to X-axis cutting the curve at Q. From Q draw a line parallel to \(Y\)-axis meeting the X-axis at point M. The coordinate of M is 37.5. Hence, the median is 37.5. Now, plot the points (10, 0), (20, 3), (30, 11), (40, 25), (50, 34), (60, 38), \((70,40)\) on the graph paper. In order to obtain ogive, we draw a smooth curve passing through these, points.
