Section B: Mathematics (50 Marks)

1. Arithmetic (10 Marks)
a) A train travels at a speed of 60 km/h. How long will it take to cover a distance of 240 km?

  • Time = Distance / Speed = 240 km / 60 km/h = 4 hours

b) If the cost of 5 pens is ₹50, what will be the cost of 12 pens?

  • Cost of 1 pen = ₹50 / 5 = ₹10
  • Cost of 12 pens = ₹10 × 12 = ₹120

2. Algebra (10 Marks)
a) Solve: 3x+5=203x + 5 = 203x+5=20

  • 3x=20−53x = 20 – 53x=20−5
  • 3x=153x = 153x=15
  • x=15/3x = 15 / 3x=15/3
  • Answer: x=5x = 5x=5

b) Solve: 2a−3b=72a – 3b = 72a−3b=7 and a+b=5a + b = 5a+b=5
From the second equation, a=5−ba = 5 – ba=5−b.
Substitute a=5−ba = 5 – ba=5−b into 2a−3b=72a – 3b = 72a−3b=7:
2(5−b)−3b=72(5 – b) – 3b = 72(5−b)−3b=7
10−2b−3b=710 – 2b – 3b = 710−2b−3b=7
10−5b=710 – 5b = 710−5b=7
−5b=−3-5b = -3−5b=−3
b=3/5b = 3/5b=3/5
Substitute b=3/5b = 3/5b=3/5 into a=5−ba = 5 – ba=5−b:
a=5−3/5=25/5−3/5=22/5a = 5 – 3/5 = 25/5 – 3/5 = 22/5a=5−3/5=25/5−3/5=22/5

  • Answer: a=22/5a = 22/5a=22/5, b=3/5b = 3/5b=3/5

3. Geometry (10 Marks)
a) Find the area of a triangle with base 8 cm and height 6 cm.

  • Area of triangle = (Base × Height) / 2 = (8 × 6) / 2 = 24 cm²

b) Calculate the perimeter of a rectangle with length 12 cm and breadth 8 cm.

  • Perimeter of rectangle = 2 × (Length + Breadth) = 2 × (12 + 8) = 2 × 20 = 40 cm

4. Time and Work (10 Marks)
a) If 3 men can complete a work in 6 days, how many days will 4 men take to complete the same work?

  • Work done by 3 men in 1 day = 1/6
  • Work done by 1 man in 1 day = 1/(6 × 3) = 1/18
  • Work done by 4 men in 1 day = 4 × (1/18) = 4/18 = 2/9
  • Time taken by 4 men = 1 / (2/9) = 9/2 = 4.5 days

b) A tank can be filled by a pipe in 5 hours and emptied by another pipe in 10 hours. How long will it take to fill the tank if both pipes are open?

  • Rate of filling = 1/5
  • Rate of emptying = -1/10
  • Net rate = 1/5 – 1/10 = 2/10 – 1/10 = 1/10
  • Time taken = 1 / (1/10) = 10 hours

5. Data Interpretation (10 Marks)
The following table shows the marks obtained by five students in Mathematics and Science.

StudentMathematicsScience
A8085

E7882

a) Average marks in Mathematics

  • Total marks in Mathematics = 80 + 75 + 90 + 85 + 78 = 408
  • Average = 408 / 5 = 81.6

b) Average marks in Science

  • Total marks in Science = 85 + 80 + 95 + 88 + 82 = 430
  • Average = 430 / 5 = 86
