Answer 2.
Kerala SSLC Maths Model Question Papers with Answers Paper 1 image - 16

Answer 3.
First term = 2 = a + b
Common difference a = 3
b = 2 – 3 = -1
xn = an + b= 100
3n – 1 = 100
3n = 101
n = 33.6
∴ 100 is not a term in the AP, because n is not a natural number.

Answer 11.
In the right angled triangle Δ APB and right angled triangle Δ DQC, the hypotenuse and one side are equal so the triangles are similar.
x coordinate of P in the figure = 6
y coordinate of P in the figure = 5
∴ Coordinates of P = (6, 5)
Kerala SSLC Maths Model Question Papers with Answers Paper 1 image - 23
b. Right angled triangle A APB and right angled triangle Δ DQC are similar triangles. So, DQ = 4, CQ = 2 (Similar sides are equal)
c. y coordinate of Q = x coordinate of D + 4 = 3 + 4 = 7
y coordinate of Q = y coordinate of D = 8
∴ Coordinates of Q = (7, 8)
∴ x coordinates of C = x coordinates of Q = 7
y coordinates of C = y coordinates of
Q + 2 = 8 + 2 = 10
∴ Coordinates of C = (7, 10)

a. AB is parallel to OP and AC is parallel to OQ, then
Kerala SSLC Maths Model Question Papers with Answers Paper 1 image - 24
∠BOC = 2x ∠BAC
∠B AC = ∠POQ
∴ ∠BOC = 2x ∠POQ
i.e., ∠BOC is two times of ∠POQ.
b. Let ∠POQ = x and r be the radius of the circle then
∠BOC= 2 x ∴ length of small arc PQ.
= 2πr x (x/360)
∠BOC = 2 x  length of small arc BC
= 2 nr x (2x / 360)
= 2 x length of small arc PQ
i.e., Length of small arc BC
= 2 x length of small arc PQ.

Answer 14.
Kerala SSLC Maths Model Question Papers with Answers Paper 1 image - 25
a. Length of arc in the hemisphere = Base perimeter of cylinder.
∴ 2π R x (180/360) = 2πr
∴ 2π R x (1/2) = 2πr
∴ R = 2r,
∴ 1 = 2r
(i.e., slant height = base radius) or r = 1/2
Ratio of base radius and slant height = 1:2
b. The sides of the triangles are base diameter and slant heights.
Here slant height = 2r = diameter Hence all sides of the triangle are equal and it is an equilateral triangle

Answer 17.
Kerala SSLC Maths Model Question Papers with Answers Paper 1 image - 27
Let the height of the hill be CD and height of the tower be PQ. Let B be is the first position of the man who watch the hill and A be the second position which is 100 m behind B, CD is to be calculated.
∠DBC = 70°, ∠DAC = 50°(Given)
AB = 100 m (Given)
Let BD = x m
AD = (100 + x) m
In right angled triangle
Δ CBD tan 70 = CD / BD
2.8 = CD/x
∴ CD = 2.8 x ……………..(1)
CD and AD belongs to the right angled Δ CBD.
tan 50 = CD/AD 1.2 = CD/(100 + x)
1.2 x (100+x) = CD
(1.2 x 100) + (1.2 x x) = CD
(1.2 x 100) + (1.2 x x) = CD
120+ 1.2 x = CD………………(2)
Sub (2) in (1)
120+1.2x = 2.8x
2.8x- 1.2x = 120 1.6x= 120
x= 120/1.6= 1200/16 = 75
Substitute x = 75 in equation (1), the height
of hill = CD = 2.8 x = 2 – 8 x 75 = 210 m

Answer 18.

Height (cm)Number of Children
Below 1405
Below 14513
Below 15023
Below 15532
Below 16038
Below 16541

a. Height of the 21st child is the median height.
b. Height of the 21st child is between 145 cm and 150 cm.
c. Methods to find the madian are

  1. Divide 5 cm in between 145 cm and 150 cm into 10 equal sect-ions.
  2. Consider that the height of each sub-group is exactly on the mid point of the subgroup.

d. Height of the 14th child is in between 145 cm and 145 5/10 cm. i.e., 145 5/20 cm.
Similarly, the height of the 15th student is in between 145 5/10 cm and 145 10/10 cm i.e., 145 1 5/20 cm.
Hence height of each child can be increased by 5/10 cm.
There are 7 children to reach the 21st child from 14th child, i.e., 14th term is 145 5/20 and common difference is 5/10.
Mean is the 21 st term of the arithmetic sequence.
∴ Mean height = x21 = x14 + 7d
= 145+5/20+ (7 x 5/10)
= 145+5/20+35/10
= 145+5/20+70/20
= 145+75/20= 145 +3 15/20
= 145 + 3+15/20
= 148 15/20=148.75

Answer 19.
Kerala SSLC Maths Model Question Papers with Answers Paper 1 image - 28
a. Let x cm be the length of the square then the length of the new square
= (x +4) cm, Width = x cm
Area of the new square= 396 cm2
(Given)
∴ Width x length = 396
x (x + 4) 396
x2 + 4x = 396
b. x2 + 4x = 396
According to the complete square method
x2 + 4x + 4 = 396 + 4
i.e., (x + 2)2=400
x + 2 = ±√400
∴ x + 2 = 20 or x + 2 = -20
x = 20-2  or  x = -20-2
x = 18  or x = -22
One side of square cannot be negative
Hence one side of the square= 18 cm

Answer 20.
Kerala SSLC Maths Model Question Papers with Answers Paper 1 image - 29
a. Tangents from a point outside a circle have same length.
AQ = AR, BR= BP, CP = CQ AQ = AR
∴ Δ AQR is an isosceles triangle.
In A AQR, ∠QAR = 40°
∠AQR = ∠ARQ
= (180-40)/2 = 140/2=70°
b. Angles made by chord and tangents are equal to the angle of alternate arc.
∠AQR = 70°
In Δ PQR, ∠p = 70°
c. Since BR = BP
∴ Δ BRP is an isosceles; triangle.
In Δ BPR, ∠RBP = 60° ∠BRP = ∠BPR
= (180 – 60)/2 = 120/2 = 60°
Angles made by chord and tan¬gents are equal to the angle of alternate arc.
∠BRP = 70°
In ΔPQR ∠Q = 60°
Sum of angles of a triangle is 180°, then
∠R=180
(∠P + ∠Q) =180-(70 + 60) =180 – 130 = 50° Other angles of Δ PQR is 60° and 50°

iii. distance between two building,
a = \(\frac { 15 }{ 4.95 m } =4\)

Answer 23.
i. P(2) = 8a + 4b + 2c + d = O
p (-2)= – 8a + 4b – 2c + d = O
8b + 2d = O = 4b ÷ d = O
8a + 2c = O = 4a + c = O
d – c = 4a – 4b
\(\frac { d-c }{ a-b } =4\)
ii. Let the first degree binomial be px + q
2x3 – 3x2 – 10x + 7 + px + q.
d = -4b 7 + q = -4 x -3 = 12
q = 5
c = -4a ⇒ -10 + p = -8, p = 2
px + 2 = 2x + 5

Kerala SSLC Maths Model Question Papers with Answers Paper 1 image - 34
O is the centre of the circle and OS perpendicular to OS
(Radius is perpendicular to tangent)
OQ perpendicular PQ
(Radius is perpendicular to tangent)
OS = PS = PQ = OQ (PQRS is a square)
PS = PA + AS
AS = AM (tangent from A are equal)
PS = PB + BQ
BM = BQ (tangent from B are equal)
PQ = PB + BM
∴ PS + PQ= PA+AM + PB + BM
= PA+ PB + AM + BM
= PA+PB+AB
= Perimeter of triangle
PS+ PQ is the diameter of circle.
∴ The perimeter of the triangle is equal to the diameter of the circle.
