When preparing for your exams or even when you are working towards mastering the board examination, most experts recommend that you dedicate time and effort into solving question papers from the previous year or CBSE sample papers for class 10. This practice not only will familiarize you with the format of the question paper, but it will also teach you the discipline of answering the entire question paper within the time allotted to you at the examination. Learning how much time to allot for different questions of different weightage will give you an advantage in the exam. The time that you allot to answer a five-mark question will be different from the time you take to answer a one mark answer. Be sure to answer the last year sample paper CBSE class 10 as this will have the format according to the latest syllabus.

19.
Represent the following quadratic polynomial on the graph and also find the zeroes of the polynomial
-x2+x+6
1.
p(x) = x2 + 7x + 9
q(x) = x + 2
r(x) = - 1
g(x) = ?
p(x) = g(x) q(x) + r(x)
\(\Rightarrow\) x2 + 7x + 9 = g(x)(x + 2) - 1
\(\Rightarrow \quad g\left( x \right) =\frac { { x }^{ 2 }+7x+10 }{ x+2 } \)
\(\frac { \left( x+2 \right) \left( x+5 \right) }{ x+2 } \)
\(\therefore \quad g(x) =x+5\)
2.
p(y) = 6y2 - 7y + 2
\(\alpha +\beta =-\left( -\frac { 7 }{ 6 } \right) =\frac { 7 }{ 6 } \)
and \(\alpha\beta=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}\)
Now \(\frac { 1 }{ \alpha } +\frac { 1 }{ \beta } =\frac { \alpha +\beta }{ \alpha \beta } =\frac { { 7 }/{ 6 } }{ { 2 }/{ 6 } } =\frac { 7 }{ 2 } \)
and \(\frac { 1 }{ \alpha } \times \frac { 1 }{ \beta } =\frac { 1 }{ \alpha \beta } =3\)
The required polynomial is \({ y }^{ 2 }-\frac { 7 }{ 2 } y+3=\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \left[ 2{ y }^{ 2 }-7y+6 \right] \)
3.

4.
x2-15x+54
5.
Let p(x)=2x2+2ax+5x+10
Since, x+a is a factor of p(x).
Therefore, p(-a)=0
⇒ 2(-a)2+2a(-a)+5(-a)+10=0
⇒ 2a2-2a2-5a+10=0⇒5a=10a=2
6.
According to the question, \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) are zeroes of the polynomial p(x) = 6x2 - 5x + k
So, Sum of zeroes = \(\alpha +\beta =-\left( \frac { -5 }{ 6 } \right) =\frac { 5 }{ 6 } \) ... (i)
Product of zeroes = \(\alpha \beta =\frac { k }{ 6 } \)
\(\alpha-\beta=\frac{1}{6}\) (Given) ...... (ii)
Adding equations (i) and (ii), we get
\(2\alpha=2\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad \alpha=\frac{1}{2}\)
Putting the value of \(\alpha\) in equation (ii), we get
\(\frac{1}{2}-\beta=\frac{1}{6}\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad \frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{6}=\beta\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad \frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}=\beta\)
\(\therefore \quad \alpha\beta=\frac{k}{6}=\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{3}\)
\(\therefore \quad k=1\)
7.
2, 2
8.
(i) 5
(ii) 3
9.
The given quadratic polynomial is f(x) = x2 + px + 45. Let \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) be the zeroes of the given quadratic polynomial.
\(\therefore \quad \alpha +\beta =-p\) and \(\alpha\beta=45\) ....(i)
Given, \(\left( \alpha -\beta \right) ^{ 2 }=144\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad \left( \alpha +\beta \right) ^{ 2 }-4\alpha \beta =144\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad \left( -p \right) ^{ 2 }-4\times 45=144\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad p^{ 2 }-180=144\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad p^{ 2 }=144+180=324\)
\(\therefore \quad p=\pm \sqrt { 324 } =\pm 18\)
Thus, the value of p is \(\pm 18\)
10.
Let f(x) = 2x2 - 5x - 3
Let the zeroes of polynomial be \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\), then
Sum of zeroes = \(\alpha+\beta = \frac{5}{2}\)
Product of zeroes = \(\alpha\beta=-\frac{3}{2}\)
According to the question, zeroes of x2 + px + q are \(2\alpha\) and \(2\beta\)
Sum of zeroes \(-\frac { Coeff.of \ x }{ Coeff.of \ { x }^{ 2 } } =\frac { -p }{ 1 } \)
\(\Rightarrow \quad -p= 2\alpha+2\beta=2(\alpha+\beta)\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad -p=2\times\frac{5}{2}=5\Rightarrow p=-5\)
Product of zeroes \(=\frac { Constant \ term }{ Coeff \ of \ { x }^{ 2 } } =\frac { q }{ 1 } \)
\(\Rightarrow \quad q = 2\alpha\times2\beta=4\alpha\beta\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad q=4(-\frac{3}{2})=-6\)
\(\therefore \quad p=-5\) and \(q=-6\)
11.
f(x) = 2x2 - 7x + 3
Sum of roots = p + q \(=-\frac { Coefficient\quad of\quad x }{ Coefficient\quad of\quad { x }^{ 2 } } \)
\(=-\left( \frac { -7 }{ 2 } \right) =\frac { 7 }{ 2 } \)
Product of roots = pq \(=-\frac { Constant\quad term }{ Coefficient\quad of\quad { x }^{ 2 } } =\frac{3}{2}\)
We know that
(p + q)2 = p2 + q2 + 2pq
\(\Rightarrow\) p2 + q2 = (p + q)2 - 2pq
\(=\left( \frac { 7 }{ 2 } \right) ^{ 2 }-3=\frac { 49 }{ 4 } -\frac { 3 }{ 1 } =\frac { 37 }{ 4 } \)
12.
Comparing x2+4x+2a with ax2+bx+c,
a=1,b=4,c=2a
According to the question,
\(\alpha, \frac{\alpha}{2}\) are the zeroes of the polynomial,
sum of the zeroes \(\frac{\mathrm{b}}{\mathrm{a}}\)
\(\alpha+\frac{\alpha}{2}=\frac{-4}{1}\)
\(\alpha=\frac{-8}{3}\)
\(\alpha^{2}=\frac{64}{9}\) [squaring both sides]
product of all zeroes,
\(\alpha \times \frac{\alpha}{2}=\frac{2 a}{1}\)
α2=4a
\(\therefore 4 \mathrm{a}=\frac{64}{9}\left[\because \alpha^{2}=\frac{64}{9}\right]\)
\(a=\frac{16}{9}\)
13.
f(x) = x2 - 7x - 8
Let other zero be k, then
Sum of zeroes \(-1+k=-\left( \frac { -7 }{ 1 } \right) =7\)
\(\Rightarrow k = 8\)
14.
p(x) = 3x2 - kx + 6
Sum of the zeroes = 3 \(=-\frac { Coefficient\quad of\quad x }{ Coefficient\quad of\quad { x }^{ 2 } } \)
\(\Rightarrow \quad 3=-\frac { \left( -k \right) }{ 3 } \)
k = 9
15.
Sum of the roots \(=-\frac { Coefficient\quad of\quad x }{ Coefficient\quad of\quad { x }^{ 2 } } \)
\(\Rightarrow \quad \alpha +\beta =-\left( \frac { b }{ a } \right) \)
\(=\frac{b}{a}\)
16.
Let α and \(\frac { 1 }{ \alpha } \) be two zeroes of the given polynomial, which are reciprocal of each other.
On comparing the given polynomial with Ax2+Bx+C, we get
A=a2+9, B=13 and C=6a
Now, product of zeroes,
\(\alpha \times \frac { 1 }{ \alpha } =\frac { Constant \ term }{ Coefficient \ of \ x^{ 2 } } \)
\(\\ \Rightarrow \ 1=\frac { 6\alpha }{ a^{ 2 }+9 }\)
\( \\ \Rightarrow \ a^{ 2 }+9=6a\)
\(\\ \Rightarrow \ a^{ 2 }-6a+9=0\)
\(\\ \Rightarrow \ (a-3)^{ 2 }=0\ \ \left[ \because \quad (x-y)^{ 2 }=x^{ 2 }+y^{ 2 }-2xy \right] \)
\(\\ \therefore \ a=3\)
17.
\(a=-\frac { 3 }{ 2 } \)
18.
