10th CBSE
Mathematics Boards Paper With Solution(Set-3) SECTION-A
1. What is the value of (cos2670 – sin2230).
Solution:
cos2670 – sin2230
cos2670 – sin2(90 – 670)
cos2670 – cos2670
= 0
2. In an A.P, if the common difference (d) = – 4, and the seventh term (a7) is 4, then find the first term.
Solution:
d = 4
a7 = 4
a + 6d = 4
a + 6 – 4 = 4
a = 4 + 24
a = 28

4. What is the HCF of smallest prime number and the smallest composite number?
Solution:
smallest prime number = 2
smallest composite number = 4
HCF = 2

sin Atan A
cos A
Or
Solution:
Given that distance = 63 km.
Let original speed of train = x km/hr.
time = distance / time = 63/x hrs.
And it travels a distance of 72 km at a average speed of 6 km/hr more than the original speed.
distance = 72 km ; speed = (x + 6) km/hr .
time= 72/(x+6) hrs.
If it takes 3 hours to complete the whole journey 63/x + 72/(x + 6) = 3 hrs
⇒ 63(x + 6) + 72x = 3x(x + 6)
⇒ 21(x + 6) + 24x = x(x+6)
⇒ 45x + 21×6 = x2 + 6x
⇒ x2 – 39x – 126 = 0
⇒ x2 – 39x – 126 = 0
⇒ (x – 42)(x + 3) = 0
∴ x = 42 km/hr
∴ the original average speed = 42 km/hr

Let the four consecutive numbers in A.P be (a - 3d), (a - d), (a + d) and (a + 3d)
So, according to the question.

www.pioneermathematics.com
a – 3d + a – d + a + d + a + 3d = 32
4a = 32
a = 32/4
a = 8 ......(1)
Now, (a – 3d)(a + 3d)/(a – d)(a + d) = 7/15
15(a² – 9d²) = 7(a² – d²)
15a² – 135d² = 7a² – 7d²
15a² – 7a² = 135d² –7d²
8a² = 128d²
Putting the value of a = 8 in above we get.
8(8)² = 128d²
128 d² = 512
d² = 512/128
d² = 4
d = 2
So, the four consecutive numbers are
8 – (3x2)
[8 –6 = 2]
[8 – 2 = 6]
[8 + 2 = 10]
8 + (3x2)
[8 + 6 = 14]
Four consecutive numbers are 2, 6, 10 and 14.

AB = BC = AC
Let AB = BC = AC = x
Given
BD = 1

In AEB and AEC
AE = AE (Common)
AB = AC (Both as it is equilateral triangle)
AEB AEC (Both 900 as AE BC)
Hence by RHS congruency
AEB AEC
