MCQ 11 Mark
The number of spherical bullets each $5\ dm$ in diameter which can be cast from a rectangular block of lead $11 m$ long, $10 m$ broad and $5$ high is
  • $8400$
  • B
    $5600$
  • C
    $6300$
  • D
    $4200$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$8400$
Here, radius of spherical bullets $=2.5\  dm$ or $0.25 m(1 dm =0.1 m)$
Let the number of bullets be $n$
Now, volume of $n$ number of bullets $=$ volume of rectangular block
$ n \times \frac{4}{3} \pi r ^3= l \times b \times h$
$n \times \frac{4}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 0.25 \times 0.25 \times 0.25=11 \times 10 \times 5$
$n =\frac{11 \times 10 \times 5 \times 21}{88 \times 0.25 \times 0.25 \times 0.25}$
$n =8400$

    3
Answer
Correct option: C.
2
(c) 2
Explanation: Adjusted frequency $=\left(\frac{\text { frequency of the class }}{\text { width of the class }}\right) \times 5$
Therefore, Adjusted frequency of $25-45=\frac{8}{20} \times 5=2$

MCQ 31 Mark
Line sgements $AB$ and $CD$ intersect at $O$ such that $AC \| DB$. If $\angle CAB =45^{\circ}$ and $\angle CDB =55^{\circ}$, then $\angle BOD =$
  • A
    $135^{\circ}$
  • $80^{\circ}$
  • C
    $100^{\circ}$
  • D
    $90^{\circ}$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$80^{\circ}$
Image
$AC\|BD$
And, $AB$ is transverse to these parallel lines
$\text { So } \angle CAB =\angle ABD \text   ($Alternate angles$)$
$\Rightarrow \angle ABD =45^{\circ}$
Now In $\triangle BOD$
$\angle BOD +\angle ODB +\angle DBA =180^{\circ}$
$\angle DBA =\angle ABD =45^{\circ}, \angle ODB =55^{\circ}$
$\text { So } \angle B O D=180^{\circ}-45^{\circ}-55^{\circ}$
$=80^{\circ}$

MCQ 41 Mark
If a linear equation has solutions $(1, 2), (-1, -16)$ and $(0, -7)$, then it is of the form
  • $y=9 x-7$
  • B
    $9 x-y+7=0$
  • C
    $x-9 y=7$
  • D
    $x=9 y-7$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$y=9 x-7$
(a) $y=9 x-7$
Explanation:Since all the given co- ordinate $(1,2),(-1,-16)$ and $(0,-7)$ satisfy the given line $y=9 x-7$
For point (1, 2)
y = 9x - 7
2 = 9(1) - 7
2 = 9 - 7
2 = 2
Hence (2, 1) is a solution.
For point (-1, -16)
y = 9x - 7
-16 = 9(-1) - 7
-16 = -9 - 7
-16 = -16
Hence (-1, -16) is a solution.
For point (0,-7)
y = 9x - 7
-7 = 9(0) -7
-7 = -7
Hence (0, -7) is a solution.

$=5 \sqrt[3]{2 \times 2}$
$=5 \sqrt[3]{4}$
The simplest rationalising factor of $\sqrt[3]{500}$, is $\sqrt[3]{2}$

MCQ 61 Mark
In the given figure, $A B$ and $C D$ are two intersecting chords of a circle. If $\angle C A B=40^{\circ}$ and $\angle B C D=80^{\circ}$, then $\angle C B D=?$
Image
  • $60^{\circ}$
  • B
    $50^{\circ}$
  • C
    $70^{\circ}$
  • D
    $80^{\circ}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$60^{\circ}$
(a) $60^{\circ}$
Explanation:We have:
$\angle CDB =\angle CAB =40^{\circ}$ (Angles in the same segment of a circle)
In $\triangle CBD$, we have:
$\angle CDB +\angle BCD +\angle CBD =180^{\circ}$ (Angle sum property of a triangle $)$
$\Rightarrow 40^{\circ}+80^{\circ}+\angle CBD =180^{\circ}$
$\Rightarrow \angle CBD =\left(180^{\circ}-120^{\circ}\right)=60^{\circ}$
$\Rightarrow \angle C B D=60^{\circ}$

MCQ 71 Mark
If bisector of $\angle A$ and $\angle B$ of a quadrilateral $\text{ABCD}$ intersect each other at $p , \angle B$ and $\angle C$ at $Q , \angle C$ and $\angle D$ at R and, $\angle D$ and $\angle A$ at S then $\text{PQRS}$ is a
  • Rectangle
  • B
    Parallelogram
  • C
    Rhombus
  • D
    Quadrilateral whose opposite angles are supplementary
Answer
Correct option: A.
Rectangle
Let's assume our quadrilateral $\text{ABCD}$ as a parallelogram :
Image
we know
$\angle DCB +\angle ABC =180^{\circ} \ ($Co $-$ interior angles of parallelogram are supplementary$)$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} \angle DCB +\frac{1}{2} \angle ABC =90^{\circ}  \ ($ Both sides divide by $2 )$
$\Rightarrow \angle 1+\angle 2=90^{\circ}.........(1)$
In, $\triangle CQB$ we know
$\Rightarrow \angle 1+\angle 2+\angle CQB =180^{\circ} \ldots(2)$
From eq $(1)$ and eq $(2),$ We get
$\Rightarrow \angle CQB =180^{\circ}-90^{\circ}$
$\Rightarrow \angle CQB =90^{\circ}$
$\Rightarrow \angle PQR =90^{\circ} (\because \angle CQB =\angle PQR ,$ vertically opposite angles $)$
Similarly, it can be shown
$\angle QPS =\angle PSR =\angle SRQ =90^{\circ}$
So, quadrilateral $\text{PQRS}$ is a rectangle.

MCQ 81 Mark
$\text{ABCD}$ is a parallelogram in which diagonal $AC$ bisects $\angle BAD$. If $\angle BAC =35^{\circ}$, then $\angle ABC =$
  • A
    $70^{\circ}$
  • B
    $120^{\circ}$
  • $110^{\circ}$
  • D
    $90^{\circ}$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$110^{\circ}$
Given,
$\text{ABCD}$ is a parallelogram
Diagonal $\text{AC}$ bisects $\angle BAD$
Image
$\angle B A C=35^{\circ}$
$\because \angle A +\angle B =180^{\circ} \ldots (i) [$ angle sum property of quadrilateral$]$
$\angle A =2 \angle BAC =2 \times 35^{\circ}=70^{\circ}$
Putting value of $\angle A$ in equation $(i)$
$70^{\circ}+\angle B=180^{\circ}$
$\angle B=180^{\circ}-70^{\circ}=110^{\circ}$
$\angle A B C=110^{\circ}$

In the adjoining figure, $A O B$ is a straight line. If $x: y: z=4: 5: 6$, then $y= ?$
Image
  • A
    $72^{\circ}$
  • B
    $48^{\circ}$
  • $60^{\circ}$
  • D
    $80^{\circ}$
Answer

$60^{\circ}$
Image
Let
$\angle A O C=x^{\circ}=(4 a)^{\circ}, \angle C O D=y^{\circ}=(5 a)^{\circ}$ and $\angle B O D=z^{\circ}=(6 a)^{\circ}$
Then, we have
$\angle A O C+\angle C O D+\angle B O D=180^{\circ} [$Since $AOB$ is a straight line$]$
$\Rightarrow 4 a +5 a +6 a =180^{\circ}$
$\Rightarrow 15 a =180^{\circ}$
$\Rightarrow a =12^{\circ}$
$\therefore y=5 \times a=5 \times 12^{\circ}$
$=60^{\circ}$
