Question 40.
How does Wordsworth describe the beauty of Nature as he rows the boat he had stolen?
Answer:
In the poem “The stolen boat’ the poet William Wordsworth steals a boat tied to a willow tree within a rocky cave, at night and stealthily rows the boat over the river in the moonlight. He could hear the sound of oars echoing from the surrounding mountains.

As the boat moved on the water it left small circles of water gleaming idle under the light of the moon till all of them mingled up and dissolved giving way to one single track of glittering moon-light on the water. Far above in the sky he could see nothing but twinkling stars.

His eyes then were transfixed upon the craggy ridge that was the horizons utmost boundary. The poet compares the boat to an ‘elfin pinnace’ (fairy) which moved over the water like a swan. The horizon was bound with a huge peak which loomed black and huge. It seemed to up-rear its head and grow in stature with every stroke of the oar. He felt that the huge peak towered between him and the stars, as if it were a living being endowed with a will and a power of its own.

Question 41.
To Wordsworth, nature was a living presence. Pick out any five details from the poem to support this.
Answer:
Wordsworth starts the poem by blaming Mother Nature for coaxing him into stealing the boat. He uses the phrase “led by her” and shows that for him Nature is a living presence. The rocky cave is described as ‘home’- a human dwelling place. When he steals the boat, mountains are said to warn him. This is an example of personification.

One more example of personification is found in the description of the lake as a silent lake. Finally, the peak that seems to follows him is said to have life, power and purpose of its own. Thus we see that, for Wordsworth, .Nature is a living presence, and it is a continuous presence.

OR

How does the poet bring out the agony and desperation of the female crane in the poem?
Answer:

After the hunters leave the scene, she returns to the scene of death and kisses the few feathers left behind after the hunters had carried the male bird away. In her desperation she searches for signs of life in the blood – stained feathers. Her grief is so great that it’s as if nature took pity on her and carried her to her dead mate.

Question 42.
How does the uncertainty and disorganisation among the ranks of the invaders add to the humour?
Answer:
There was no understanding among the fielders. There was a lot of uncertainty and disorganization.

They kept looking only at the ball and not at the other fielders running, not one of them appeared to be aware that any one else existed.

All ran together, crashed against each other and fell down. This confusion was compounded by the contradictory instructions given by Hodge The fact that all of the players running from their positions to catch one ball add to the humour.

Write a short note on views expressed by the writer on the tragic comedy of ‘development’. Why does he call it tragic comedy?
Answer:
When we look at the development of the country, it is a very ironic situation. While pockets of private prosperity are growing, the resources of public sphere are depleting. Thus though we have an amazing variety of sleek new car models to choose from, the roads in our cities are in pretty bad shape and getting worse. Fashionable luxury resorts are mushrooming everywhere but the lung spaces like parks and playgrounds are shrinking.

It is similar story with many other services in the public domain including transportation, health care, education etc. Even the essential services are pushed into the private real so that some company or other can make profit on them. It is indeed a tragicomedy because the poor are also pushed into becoming consumers of increasingly expressive goods and utilities.

XI. 43. Read the following passage , carefully and answer the questions given below : 1 x 4 = 4 (2×2)

The success of a major operation depends in large part on the intensive post operative care of the patient. Because of prolonged anesthesia and extensive surgical trauma, the patient is often in worse shape after the operation than before. The first few days after an operation are the most dangerous. During this critical period, the patient is under constant surveillance in the post – anesthetic recovery room or in an intensive care unit.

Specially trained nurses and doctors use electronic monitoring devices to detect deviations in the patient’s vital functions. The medical staff is also alert to signs of lung complications that frequently follow major surgery. Venous stenosis, or the slow – up of blood flow in the veins – a consequence of bed confinement – is prevented by exercising the patient’s limbs and varying his position in bed.

Closed circuit television cameras allow constant observation of the patient and monitoring devices linked with computers sound a warning when dangerous complications occur, but the keen senses of a skilled nurse are still required to ensure the best after care of the sick.

Questions :
A) What does the success of a major operation depend on?
Answer:
The success of a Major operation depends in large parts on the intensive post – operative care of the patient.

B) How are the vital functions of the patient detected after the surgery?
Answer:
Specially trained nurses and doctors use electronic monitoring devices to detect deviations in the patients vital functions.

XII. 44. Write an essay of about 18-20 sentences on any one of the following topics : ( 1 x 5 = 5 )

(a) Indian farmer today.
Answer:
Indian farmers today are at the cross roads. Technology has taken huge strides reformulating the role of farmers. If farmers do not make use of technology, they would be left behind in this fast – moving world, That is why, it is of paramount importance that Indian farmers educate themselves and know how to succeed in the new world order of consumerism.

If they are educated, they can progress in the field of agriculture and contribute richly towards the economy of the nation. Even to this day, despite the progress it has made in the IT Sector, India is recognized as an agricultural economy. Hence it is of paramount importance that India values its farmers.

But unfortunately we have seen that Indian farmers are native, and hence are taken for a ride by the mediators. That is why there are many tragic cases of farmers committing suicide after being cheated by mediators who swallow a lion’s share of farmers profit margin or landlords who offer loans on high rates of interest.

It is the duty of the government to offer attractive schemes of farmers so that the nation makes progress in the field of agriculture. It is also necessary that the government educates farmers and also gives manure and farming equipment at subsidized rates.
This would mean a bright future for India.

(b) Water is Precious – Save it.
Answer:
Water is the elixir of life. One can never imagine a world without water. All living beings need water to survive on this earth. No other Planet in our universe has water, according to scientists.

Yet today this precious natural resource is under the threat of being exhausted. Water has not been judiciously and sensibly used by mankind. Industrial development, growing population, unsuitable Lifestyle has put a severe pressure on this precious resource. Many countries are facing water crisis.

India has enough potential for water resources, but due to improper management of water, Many of our precious water resources are under threat. Most of our water resources are polluted and many have become unsuitable for consumption.

Saving water has been an important task for man. Water is a limited resource and without water life is not possible on earth.

Children should.be taught to use water sensibly early in their life. Water crisis can be prevented by the use of technology and resources to conserve the existing water resources. Every water user should be made aware of that if there is no water there is no life and if there is no water than there is no future.
Water is Precious – Save it.

III. Answer the following : ( 2 x 8 = 16 )

Question 17.
Prove that if x and y are odd positive integers, then x² + y² is even but not divisible by 4.
Answer:
Let x = 2m + 1 and y = 2n + 1 for some integers m and n.
x² + y² = (2m + 1)² + (2n + l)2
x² + y² = 4m² + 4m + 1 + 4n² + 1 + 4n
= 4m² + 4n² + 4m + 4n + 2.
x² + y² = 4(m² + n²) + 4 (m + n) + 2
x² + y² = 4 {(m² + n²) + (m + n)} +2
x² + y² = 4q + 2, where q = (m² + n² ) + (m+n)
⇒ x² + y² is even and leaves the remainder 2 when divided by 4.
⇒ x² + y² is even but not divisible by 4.

Question 18.
Solve : 100x + 200y = 700
200x + 100y = 800
Answer:
Consider 100x + 200y = 700 ….(1)
200x + 100y = 800 ….(2)
Add (1) & (2) 300x + 300y= 1500
Divide by 300, x + y = 5 …… (3)
Subtract (1) and (2)
-100x + 100y= -100 Divide by 100.
-x + y = -1 …(4)
Solve (3) and (4)

y = 2
Substitute the value of y in equation (3)
x + y = 5
x + 2 = 5
x = 5 – 2 = 3
x = 3

Question 19.

Answer:

Question 20.
Find the value of x in which the points (1, -1) (x, 1) and (4, 5) are collinear.
Answer:
A(1, -1) B(x, 1)C(4,5)
Area of the triangle = 0, when points are collinear.
0 = x₁(y₂ – y₃) + x₂(y₃ – y₁) + x₃ (y₁ – y₂)
0 = (1) (1 – 5) + x(5 + 1) + 4(-1 – 1)
0 = -4 + 6x – 8
6x – 12 = 0
x = 12/6
x = 2

Question 21.
ABC is a right angled triangle, having [B = 90°. If BD = DC, Show that AC² = 4AD² – 3AB²
Answer:

AC² = AB² + BC² (Pythagoras)
AC² = AB² + 2(BD)²
AC² = AB² + 4BD²
In right angled ∆ ABD,
AD² = AB² + BD²
BD² = AD² – AB²
Consider AC² = AB² + 4BD²
= AB² + 4(AD² – AB²)
= AB² + 4AD² – 4AB²
= – 3AB² + 4AD²
= 4 AD² – 3AB²
AC² = 4 AD² – 3AB²

OR

Question 22.
A box contains 90 dices which are numbered from 1 to 90. If one dise is drawn at random from the box, find the probability that it bears
(i) two digit number
(ii) a perfect square number.
Answer:
The numbers in the dise form the sample space
S = {1,2, 3,4,…….. 90}
One dise can be drawn out of 90 in 90 ways. .
n(s) = 90

i) There are 90 -9 = 81, two digit numbers, out of which one dise can be drawn in 81 ways.
∴ n(A) = 81
P(A) = \(\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}=\frac{81}{90}=\frac{9}{10}\)

ii) The perfect square numbers are B= {1,4,9, 16,25,36,49,64,81}

The age A is twice that of B.
∴ x – 5 = 2(y – 5) ……(2)
x – 5 = 2y – 10
x – 2y = -10 + 5
x – 2y = -5 ……(2)
Solve (1) and (2)

Substitute y in (1)
x + y=85
x + 30 = 85
x = 85 – 30 = 55
x = 55
∴ Present age of A is 55 years and B = 30 years.

A piece of work can be done by 2 men and 7 boys in 4 days. The same piece of work can be done by 4 men and 4 boys in 3 days. How long it would take to do the same work by one man or one boy?
Answer:
Let x and y be the number of days in which one man can complete the work.
∴ In 1 day a man can do 1/x th work and
In 1 day a man can do 1/y th work.
2 men and 7 boys can complete the work in 4 days.
∴ They can complete in 1/4 th of the work in one day.
∴ \(\frac{2}{x}+\frac{7}{y}=\frac{1}{4}\) …… (1)
4 men and 4 boys together complete the work in 3days, and they can complete it in 1/3 rd of work.

4(2y + 7x) = xy
8y + 28x = xy …….(3)
3(4y + 4x) = xy
12y + 12x = xy ……..(4)
Solve (3) and (4)
(8y + 2x = xy) x 12
(l2y+ 12x = xy) x 18

4 y = 240
y = 240/4
y = 60

3(4y + 4x) xy
12y+12x = xy ………..(4)
4y = 240
y = 240/4 = 60
Substitute y in equation (3)
8y + 28x = xy
8(60) + 28x = xy
480 + 28x = x(60)
480 + 28x = 60x
480 = 60x – 28x
480 = 32x
x = \(\frac{480}{32}=\frac{120}{8}=\frac{30}{2}\) = 15
x = 15
Thus, one man can complete the work in 15 days and one boy can do the work in 60 days.

Question 26.
Find the zeroes of the polynomial p(y) = y3 – 5y2 – 2y + 24 if it is given that Sum of the two zeros is Answer:
Let α, β,γ be the zeros of the given polynomial.
p(y) = y³ – 5y² – 2y + 24
α + β = 7
Sum of the zeros

α + β + γ = 5
7 + r = 5
r = 5 – 7 = -2
r = -2
Sum of product of zeroes taken two at a

αβ + βr + rα = -2/1 = – 2
αβ + r(β + α) = -2
αβ + (7) (-2) = -2
αβ-14 = -2
αβ = -2+ 14
αβ = 12
(α – β )² = (α + β)²– 4αβ
= (7)² – 4(12)
(α – β)² = 49 – 48
α – β = ±1
Solve for α and β. When α – β = +1
α + β = 7
α – β = 1
2α =8
α = 8/2 = 4
α = 4
Substitute the value of a in α + β =7
4+p =7
β =7-4 = 3
β = 3
Solve for α and β when α – β = -1

α = 6/2 = 3
α = 3
α + β = 7
3 + β=7
β = 7 – 3
a + β = 7
β = 4
When α – β = 1,
the values are α = 4, β = 3, r = -2.
When α – β = -1,
The values are α = 3, β = 4, r = -2.

Question 27.
The diagonal of a rectangular field is 60 metres more than the shorter side, if the longer side is 30 metres more than the shorter side, find the sides of the field.
Answer:

Let the shorter D side be x mtr.
Longer side is 30m more than the shorter side. A Longer side = (x + 30)m.
Diagonal is 60m more than the shorter side.
Diagonal = (x + 60) m
AC² = AB² + BC² (Pythagoras)
(x + 60)² = (x + 30)² + x²
x²+(60)² + 2x (60) = x² + (30)² + 2(x)(30)+ x²
x² + 3600 + 120x = x² + 900 + 60x + x²
-x² + 60x + 2700 = 0
x² – 60x – 2700 = 0
x² – 90x + 30x – 2700 = 0
x(x – 90) + 30(x – 90) = 0
(x – 90) (x + 30) = 0
x – 90 = 0 or x + 30 = 0
x = 90 or x = – 30
∴ Shorter side = 90m = BC = x
Longer side = x + 30 = 90 + 30 = 120m
Diagonal = x + 60 = 90 + 60 = 150m

Sum of the areas of two squares is 468m2. If the difference of their perimeters is 24m, find the sides of two squares.
Answer:
Let the sides of the two squares be x&y. Sum of the areas of two squares = 468
x² + y² = 468 ……(1)
Difference of their perimeters = 24m.
4x – 4y = 24 x – y = 6
x = 6 + y …….(2)
Substitute the value of x in (1)
x² + y² = 468
(6 + y)² + y² = 468
36 + y²+ 12y + y² = 468
2y² + 12y + 36 = 468
Divide by 2
y² +6y+ 18 = 234 y2 + 6y = 234 – 18
y² + 6y – 216 = 0
y²+18y – 12y -216 = 0
y(y + 18)-12(y + 18) = 0
(y + 18) (y – 12) = 0
y+18 = 0, y -12 = 0
y = -18,y = 12
∴ x = 6+y = 6 + 12 = 18m
The sides of two squares are 18m and 12m.

Find the values of k for which the points A(k + 1, 2k) B(3k, 2k+3) and C(5k – 1, 5k) are collinear.
Answer:
A(k + 1, 2k) = (x₁, y₁)
B(3k, 2k + 3) = (x_2, y₂)
C(5k-1, 5k) = (x₃, y₃)
Area of the triangle = 0, for the points to be collinear.
Area =[x₁(y₂ – y₃) + x₂(y₃-y₁) + x₃(y₁-y₂)]
0 = \(\frac{1}{2}\){(k + 1) (2k+3 – 5k)+3k(5k- 2k) + (5k-1) [2k-2k-3]}
0= \(\frac{1}{2}\)]{(k+ 1) (-3k+ 3) + 3k (3k) + (5k- I)(-3)i
0 =\(\frac{1}{2}\){-3k²-3k + 3k + 3 + 9k2 – 15k+3}
0= \(\frac{1}{2}\){6k²– 15k + 6}
0 = 6k² – 15k + 6
Divide by 3
2k² – 5k + 2= 0
2k² – 4k – 1k + 2 = 0
2k(k – 2) -1(k – 2) = 0
(k – 2) (2k -1) = 0
k – 2 = 0, or 2k- 1=0
k = 2 or k = 1/2

Question 29.
Prove that the angle between the two tangents drawn from an external point to a circle is supplementary to the angle subtended by the line-segment joining the points of contact at the centre.
Answer:

Data: ‘O’ is the centre of the circle PA and PB are the two tangents drawn from an external point P. OA and OB are radii of the circle.
To prove that: ∠APB+ ∠AOB = 180°
Proof: In AAPO and ABPO
∠OAP = ∠OBP = 90°
(∵ Angle between the radius and tangent at the point of contact is 90°)
OP = OP (∵ Common side)
OA = OB (∵ Radii of the same circle) According to RHS postulate AAPO ABPO
∠OAP = ∠OBP = 90°
∠OAP + ∠OBP = 90° + 90° = 180°
⇒ Opposite angles of OAPB quadrilateral are supplementary
∴ OAPB is a cylic quadrilateral
⇒ ∠APB + ∠AOB = 180°

Question 35.
If the sum of first 8 terms of an Arithmetic progression is 136 and that of first 15 terms is 465, then find the sum of first 25 terms.
Answer:
Given S₈ = 136, S₁₅ = 465, S₂₅ = ?
Use the formula S_n = \(\frac{n}{2}\) [2a + (n -l)d]
s₈ = \(\frac{8}{2}\)[2a + (s-l)d]
136 = 4 (2a + 7d)
∴ 2a + 7d = 136/4
2a + 7d= 34…….(1)
S₁₅ = \(\frac{15}{2}\)[2a + (15-l)d]
465 = \(\frac{15}{2}\)[2a + 14d]
465= \(\frac{15}{2}\) x 2(a + 7d)
∴ a + 7d = 465/15
a + 7d = 31 …….(2)
From (1) and (2)

Consider a + 7d = 31
3 + 7d = 31
7d = 31 – 3
d = 28/7
d = 4
∴S₂₅ = \(\frac{25}{2}\)[2a + (25-1)d]
S₂₅ = \(\frac{25}{2}\)[2a + (25-1)d]
S₂₅ = \(\frac{25}{2}\)[2a + (24)d]
S₂₅ = \(\frac{25}{2}\)[2(3) + 24(4)d]
S₂₅ = \(\frac{25}{2}\) × 102

5x – 4y = -12 + 15
5x – 4 = 3….. (2)
Solve (1) and (2)
(10x – 9y = -2) x 5
(5x – 4y = 3) x 10

Substitute the value of y in (1)
10x – 9y = -2
10x – 9(8) = -2
10x – 72 = -2
10x = -2 + 72
10x = 70
x = 7
∴ Fraction = \(\frac{x}{y}=\frac{7}{8}\)

A girl is twice as old as her sister. Four years, hence the product of their ages (in years) will be 160. Find their
present ages.
Answer:
Let Girls present age be x years.
Sister’s age = 2x years.
After 4 years, their respective ages will be (x + 4) years and (2x + 4) years.
(x + 4) (2x + 4) =160
2x² + 4x+ 8x + 16= 160
2x² + 12x+ 16= 360
x² + 6x + 8 = 80
x² + 6x + 8 – 80 = 0
x² + 6x – 72 = 0
x²+ 12x – 6x – 72 = 0
x(x + 12) – 6(x + 12) = 0
(x + 12) (x – 6) = 0
x + 12 = 0
x = -12 or x – 6 = 0, x = 6.
Girls present age = 6 years.
Sister’s age = 12 years.

Question 26.
The difference of squares of two natural numbers is 84. The square of the larger number is 25 times the smaller number. Find the numbers.
Answer:
Let the two natural numbers be x and y such that x > y.
x² – y² = 84 ……..(1)
x² = 25y …….(2)
By eq.(1) and (2)
25y – y² = 84
y² – 25y + 84 = 0
y² – 21y – 4y + 84 = 0
y (y – 21) – 4(y – 21) = 0
(y – 21) (y – 4) = 0
y – 21 = 0,y = 4
Substitute the value of y in (2)
x² = 25 x 21
x = \(\sqrt{25 \times 21}=5 \sqrt{21}\)
x² = 25y
x² = 25 × 4= 100
x = √10o = 1o
∴ Two numbers are 10 and 4.

Question 27.
Find the value of K if the points A(2, 3) B (4, k) and C(6, -3) are collinear.
Answer:
Since the given points are collinear, the area of the triangle formed by them must be O.
\(\frac{1}{2}\)[2(k + 3) + 4(-3 -3) + 6(3 – k)] = 0 1
\(\frac{1}{2}\)[2k + 6 + 4(-6) + 6(3 – k)] = 0
\(\frac{1}{2}\)[2k + 6 – 24 + 18 – 6k] = 0
\(\frac{1}{2}\)(-4k) = 0
-2k = 0 or k = 0.

OR

Find the area of a triangle whose vertices are (1, -1) (-4, 6) and (-3, -5)
Answer:
Area of the triangle =
= \(\frac{1}{2}\)[x₁(y₂ – y₃) + x₂ (y₃ – y₂) + x₃ (y₁ – y₂)]
x₁ = 1 x₂ = -4 x₃ = -3
y₁ = -1 y₂ = 6 y₃ = -5
Area = \(\frac{1}{2}\)[1(6 + 5) + (-4) (-5 + 1) + (-3)(-l- 6)]
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) [11 + (-4(-4) +(-3) (-7)]
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) (11 + 16 + 21)
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) (48) = 24 .
∴ Area of the triangle = 24 square units.

Question 28.
Prove that the tangent at any point of a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact.

Answer:
Given
centred ‘O’ at the point of contact ‘P’.
To Prove that : OP ⊥ AB
Construction : Take any point Q, other than P, on the tangent AB, Join OQ, OQ cuts the circle at R.
Proof : “Of all the line segments joining the point ‘O’ to the tangent AB, perpendicular OP is the shortest distance from O to AB.
∴ OP = OR [ Radii of the same circle]
OQ = OR + RQ .
OQ > OR
OQ > OP (∵ OP = OR)
OP > OQ
∴ ‘OP’ is the shortest distance from point O to AB.
OP ⊥ AB

Question 30.
Solve the following system of equations graphically.
x + 3y = 6
2x – 3y = 12
Answer:
x + 3y = 6
3y = 6- x
y = \(\frac{6-x}{3}\)

2x – 3y = 12
-3y = 12 – 2x
3y = 2x – 12
y = \(\frac{2 x-12}{3}\)

Question 31.

Question 32.
How many terms of the series 54, 51, 48…. be taken. So that their sum is 513? Find the last term.
Answer:
n = ? a = 54, d = 51 – 54 = -3, Sn = 513. S„=
S_n\(\frac{\mathrm{n}}{2}\) [2a + (n-1)d]
513 = \(\frac{\mathrm{n}}{2}\) [2(54) + (n – 1)(-3)]
513 = \(\frac{\mathrm{n}}{2}\) (l08-3n + 3)
n(111 -3n)= 1026
111n – 3n² – 1026 = 0
-3n² + 111n- 1026 = 0
Divide by -3.
n²-37n + 342 = 0
n² – 19n – 18n + 342 = 0
n(n – 19) – 18(n -19) = 0
(n – 19) (n – 18) = 0
∴ n = 19 or n = 18
T₁₉ = a + 18d
= 54-54 =54-51
T₁₉ = 0
OR
T₁₈ = a + 17d
= 54 + 18(-3)
= 54 + 17(-3)
T₁₈ = 3
∴ Sum of 18termsas well as that of 19 terms is 513.

Question 33.
The sum of two numbers is 15. If the sum of their reciprocals is 3/10. Find the numbers.
Answer:
Let the numbes be x and (15 – x)
By data,

45x – 3x² = 150
3x² – 45x + 150 = 0
Divide by 3 .
x² – 45x + 150=0
Divide by 3
x² – 15x + 50 = 0
x² – 10x – 5x + 50 = 0
x(x – 10) – 5(x – 10) = 0
(x – 10) (x – 5) = 0
x -10 = 0
x = 10 OR
x – 5 = 0
x = 5
Hence the two numbers are 10 and 5.

Seven years ago Keshav’s age was five times the square of Raghav’s age. Three years hence Raghav’s age will be two fifth of Keshav’s age. Find their present ages.
Answer:
Seven years ago, let Raghav’s age be x years. Then, seven years ago Keshav’s age was 5x² years.
Raghav’s present age = (x + 7) years.
Keshav’s present age = (5x² + 7) years.
Three years hence, we have R
aghav’s age = (x + 7 + 3) years = (x + 10) years.
Keshav’s age = (5x² + 7 + 3) years = (5x² +10) years.
It is given that three years hence Raghav’s 2
age will be 2/5 of Keshav’s age.
x + 10 = \(\frac{2}{5}\) (5x² +10)
x + 10 = 2x² + 4
2x² + 4-x – 10 = 0
2x² – 6 – x = 0
2x² – 4x + 3x – 6 = 0
2x(x – 2) + 3(x – 2) = 0 ,
(x – 2) (2x + 3) =0
x – 2 = 0, 2x + 3 = 0
x = 2, x = -3/2
Raghav’s present age = (2 + 7) years = 9 years.
Keshav’s present age = (5 x 2² + 7) = 27 years.

V. Answer the following : ( 4 × 4 = 16 )

Question 34.
The first and the last term of an A.P are 17 and 350 respectively. If the common difference is 9, how many terms are there and what is their sum? Soln: Let a be the first term and d be the common difference.
Answer:
Let 1 be its last term. Then a = 17,1 = a_n =350 and d = 9
1 = a_n = 350 ”
a + (n – 1)d = 350
9(n – 1) = 350 – 17 = 333
n – 1 = 333/9 = 38
n = 37 + 1 = 38
Putting a = 17,1 = 350 and n = 38
S_n = \(\frac{n}{2}\) (a + 1)
S₃₈ = \(\frac{38}{2}\) (17 + 350) .
= 19 × 367
= 6973
Hence, there are 38 terms in A.P having their sum as 6973.

OR

Find the sum of first 51 terms of an A.P whose 2nd term and 3rd term are 14 and 18 respectively.
Answer:
Let a be the first term and d be the common difference of given A.P. Then
a₂= 14 and a₃ = 18 a + d = 14 and a + 2d = 18
Solve

d= 4
a + d= 14
a + 4 = 14
a = 14 – 4 = 10
a = 10
Putting a = 10, d = 4 nd n = 51
Sn = \(\frac{n}{2}\) [2a + (n-l)d]
S5l= \(\frac{51}{2}\)[2×10 + (51 – 1) × 4]
= \(\frac{51}{2}\)[20 + 50 × 4]

Change in the design of SSLC Science Model Question Paper 2019-20

Karnataka State Board has introduced the central syllabus for the 10th standard in mathematics and science from the academic year 2018-19 and children are provided uniform education according to the syllabus. Science syllabus is too vast and it is the need of the hour to redesign the Science Model Question Papers for Class 10 State Syllabus Karnataka 2019-20 accordingly. Question papers should be designed keeping in mind the different psychological and intellectual abilities of the children across the state. Science Model Question Papers 10th 2019-2020 Karnataka State Board should include the questions that encourage the children to think logically, to interpret the data, to infer and draw conclusions rather than mugging up and memorizing. Learning and evaluation are related to each other and as we improve the quality of the question papers, the same can be expected in the learning process also.

Karnataka SSLC Science Model Question Papers Design of question paper for regular students

1. Science Model Question Papers for Class 10 State Syllabus Karnataka – Marks distribution for Themes and the units covered under themes.

2. SSLC Science Model Question Papers with Answers – Objective weightage

3. 10th Science Model Question Papers Karnataka State Board – Weightage to the type of questions

4. KSEEB 10th Science Model Question Papers With Answers – Weightage to the difficulty level

Science is the systematic study of knowledge. The branch of knowledge that answers the questions What? How? Why? And helps us to identify reasons for the various phenomena taking place around us, to develop a rapport with our environment, to eradicate blind beliefs, to improve logical thinking abilities, ultimately to develop a scientific attitude. The objectives of science teaching include conceptual understanding and application, identifying cause and effect relationships, drawing conclusions, analyzing, synthesizing, constructing one’s own knowledge through experiences. Question papers must be designed creatively to check whether the objectives are achieved or not. Few changes are made in the pattern of KSEEB 10th Science Model Question Papers in this regard.

Changes in the design of the 10th Science Model Question Papers:

→ Theme based marks weightage:
Theme based marks weightage is introduced instead of chapter wise weightage. This helps to teach and learn all the units giving equal importance to each unit and no teaching point is left out. Teachers and students come out of the system of preparing for specific marks in each unit. Though there is no specific weightage to each unit, weightage to the theme is specific. This helps the children to study each unit completely and conceptually. Different types of questions can also be designed with respect to each theme.

→ Objective weightage:
20%, 40%, 20% marks are distributed for Remembering, Understanding, and Application respectively. With reference to the objective Skill, 15% marks are allotted for drawing skills, and 5% marks are distributed for higher-order thinking skills. Higher-order thinking skills questions include analysis, synthesis, inference, problem-solving, and identifying cause and effect relationships. This helps to evaluate, not only drawing skills but also intellectual skills.

→ Weightage to the type of questions:
One mark questions lead to guess the answer. But when questions expect descriptive answers, children have to think, organize their thoughts to answer them. This helps to improve writing skills, expression, and thinking skills. Hence, this time the number of one and two marks questions is reduced and the number of three and four marks questions is increased. One question for 5 marks is introduced. Match the following type of question is removed.

There is no change in the difficulty level. 30% marks are distributed for easy and very easy questions, 50% marks are distributed for average questions, and 20% marks are distributed for difficult questions.

→ Internal Choice:
Internal choice questions will be given for 20 marks. Internal choice questions are provided for 2 questions of 2 marks, 4 questions of 3 marks and one question of 4 marks. Internal choice questions are related to the same theme.

→ Note:
The question paper may contain questions based on the diagrams. Hence all the diagrams in the textbook should be studied. But for drawing skills, a list of diagrams is provided at the end. 30 diagrams can be practiced for drawing skills.

Questions will not be constructed based on the information given in the box under the heading Do you know? More to know. However, questions may appear for the activities given in the box and the information is continued in the main text.

Hope the new design of the Science Model Question Papers for Class 10 State Syllabus Karnataka will be student-friendly and will reduce the stress on the students, and also will help to improve the teaching-learning process.

We hope the Karnataka State Board Syllabus KSEEB SSLC 10th Science Model Question Papers 2019-2020 with Key Answers Pdf Download of KSEEB Class 10th Std Science Previous Year Model Question Papers, Sample Papers in Kannada Medium and English Medium will help you.

Handiwork is practiced. Boys are given opportunity to practice according to their own taste. Boys give preference to carpentry, mechanical work, spinning, weaving, drafting, painting and music.
