Q.1 (A) Choose the correct alternative. 04

i) Option (a) is correct.
Explanation : In the given A.P.
a = 21
d = 42 – 21
= 21
l = 210
n=?
l = a + (n – 1)d
210 = 21 + (n – 1)21
n=9+1
n = 10
Hence 210 is the 10th term of the given A.P.
ii) Correct option is (a) added to

xi - A
iii) Correct option is (c)
g
iv) Correct option is (d) – 3.
(B) Solve the following questions. 04
i) 5m – m = 0
2

Discriminant
b2 – 4ac
(– 1)2 – 4 × 5 × 0
=1
It has 1 as its discriminant.
ii) Rate of CGST = 9%
Rate of SGST = Rate of CGST
Rate of SGST = 9%
Rate of GST = Rate of CGST + Rate of SGST
= 9% + 9%
= 18%
iii) A pie diagram is a circle. A complete circle has 360 angle. The expenditure rupees
45000 on cement was shown by a sector of central 75.

45000
Hence, 360 Angle sector shows expenditure Rs. ´ 360 = 216000
75
Hence, total expenditure of construction = 2,16,000.

(B) Solve the following questions (Any four) 08

i. The rate of GST is 18%
\ GST on the belt price 586

18
= ´ 586
100
= 105.48
\ Price of the belt for customer
= Taxable value + GST
= 586 + 105.48
= 691.48
Price of belt for customer is 691.48 Rs.
ii. a. Money invested in shares = 2000

iii. a = – 19
d=–4
a2 = a1 + d
= – 19 + (– 4) = – 23
a3 = a2 + d
= – 23 + (– 4)
= – 27
Similarly, a4 = – 31
a5 = – 35
A.P. = – 19, – 23, – 27, – 31, – 35, .........
iv. Smt. Deshpande invested 20000 Rs. for purchasing shares.
Face value of each shares = 5 Rs.
Premium = 20 Rs.
amount paid for each share
= 5 + 20 = 25

20000
No. of shares = = 800 shares.

(B) Solve the following questions (Any two) 06

i. FV = Face Value
MV = Market value
MV = FV + Primium
Purchases :
Company A :
200 shares FV = Rs. 2 and Premium 18
MV = 2 + 18 = 20
Investment in company A = 200 × 20
= 4000
Company B :
45 shares MV = 500
Investment = 45 × 500 = 22500
Company C :
1 share MV = 10540
Investment = 1 × 10540
= 10540
Total investment = 4000 + 22500 + 10540
= 37040
ii. Let a and d respectively be the first term and common difference of the A.P.
given aq = 0
a + (q – 1)d = 0
a + 8d = 0
a = – 8d
Now 29th term = a + 28d
= – 8d + 28d
= 20d
= 2 × 10d
= 2(– 8d + 18d)
= 2(a + 18d)

Q.4 Solve the following questions. (Any two) 08

i. Let the sides of two squares be x and y.
area of first square = x2.
area of second square = y2.
x2 + y2 = 244 ... (i)
Perimeter of first square = 4x
Perimeter of second = 4y
4x – 4y = 8
x–y=2 ... (ii)
From (ii)
(x – y)2 = (2)2
x2 + y2 – 2xy = 4
244 – 2xy = 4
2xy = 240 ... (iii)

5
 ALGEBRA
In equation (i) adding, 2xy on both side
x2 + y2 + 2xy = 244 + 2xy
x2 + y2 + 2xy = 244 + 240
(x + y)2 = 484
x + y = 22 ... (iv)
From (i) and (iv)
x = 12 and y = 10
Diagonal of square = a 2
Hence diagonal of first square

=x 2

= 12 2
and, that of the second

=y 2

= 10 2
Ratio of diagonal = 12 2 : 10 2

Q.5 Solve the following questions. (Any one) 03

i. a. Modal class is defined as the class when the frequency is maximum or highest.
Highest frequency is 82
So the modal class is 74.5 to 79.5
b. Median of the frequencies is
= Middle of sum of frequencies

(10 + 34 + 58 + 82 + 10 + 6)
= = 100
2
Median class is defined as the class where the median frequency falls in the cumulative
frequency

7
 ALGEBRA
100 frequency comes in 69.5 to 74.5
Hence median class is 69.5 to 74.5
c. Commulative frequency of the class preceding the median class.
Median class preceding the median is 64.5 to 69.5.
Hence frequency of that class is 44.
d. Class interval
= 64.5 – 59.5

ii. a. The GST amount collected by dealer A is Rs. 5000, which is 5% of the total sale.
Suppose x amount is get by the sale
5% of x = 5000
x = 100000
b. Total GST on purchase amount of B is
= 4000
5% of x = 4000
Purchased amount by B,
x = 80000
c. Tax balance with Govt. for the dealer A = 1000
which is equally divided to CGST and SGST = 500 each.
