Part – II
Section – A

21. Find the value of the polynomial p(z = 3z2 – 4z + 17 , when z = 3.
Ans. 
p(z)= 3z2 – 4z + √17
So, p(3) = 3(3)– (4 x 3) + √17
             = (3 x 9) – 12 + √17  = 27 – 12 + √17 = 15 + √17

22. In the given figure, O is the centre of the circle, OM ⊥ BC, OL ⊥ AB, ON ⊥ AC and OM = ON = OL. Is ΔABC equilateral ? Give reasons.

Class 9 Mathematics Sample Paper Term 2 With Solutions Set A

Ans. Given : OL ⊥ AB, OM ⊥ BC and ON ⊥ AC
Also,      OM = ON = OL = Perpendicular distance of chords from the centre of a circle
∴          AB = BC = AC [Chords equidistant from the centre of a circle are equal.]
∴  ΔABC is an equilateral triangle.

23. The height of the cone is 15 cm. If its volume is 1570 cm3, find the radius of the base (use π = 3.14).
Ans. 
Let the radius of the base of the cone be r cm.
                   Height, h = 15 cm            (Given)
          Volume of cone = 1570 cm3        (Given)
So,                 1/3πr2h = 1570 
or 1/3 x 3.14 x rx 15 = 1570
⇒                            r2 = 1570 x 3 / 3.14 x 15 = 100
⇒                             r = 10 cm.

25. If the polynomial p(x) = x4 – 2x3 + 3x2– ax + 8 is divided by (x – 2), it leaves a remainder 10. Find the value of a.
Ans. 
p(x)= x4 – 2x3 + 3x2 – ax + 8
Using Remainder Theorem
        10 = p(2) = 24 – 2 x 23 + 3 x 22 – a x 2 + 8
or     10 = 16 – 16 + 12 – 2a + 8 
or    – 2 = – 2a + 8
or   – 2a = – 10
i.e.,      a = 5

26. 1.1 cu.cm of copper is to be drawn into a cylindrical wire 0.5 cm in diameter. Calculate the length of the wire.
Ans. 
Let the length of wire = l cm
Here ‘r’ = 0.5/2  = 0.25 cm
∴ Volume of wire = πr2h
                         = π (0.25)2 h
But, volume of the copper = 1.1 cm3
Therefore, 22/7 x 1/4 x 1/4 x l = 1.1       [Here h = l] 
⇒       l = 1.1 x 4 x 4 x 7 / 22 = 28/5 cm = 5.6 cm

Section – C

27. The polynomials x3 + 2x2 – 5ax – 8 and x3 + ax2 – 12x – 6 when divided by (x – 2) and (x – 3) leave remainders p and q respectively. If q – p = 10, find the value of a.
Ans. 
Let   p(x) = x3 + 2x2 – 5ax – 8 and
             g(x) = x+ ax2 – 12x – 6
When divided by (x – 2) and (x – 3) leave remainders p and q respectively
             p(x) = x+ 2x2 – 5ax – 8
Now,      p(2) = 23 + 2 × 22 – 5a × 2 – 8
                    = 8 + 8 – 10a – 8
So,             p = 8 – 10a                        …(1)
Also,       g(3) = 33 + a × 32 – 12 × 3 – 6
So,              q = 27 + 9a – 36 – 6 
or                q = –15 + 9a
Now, it is given that q – p = 10
Therefore,  – 15 + 9a – 8 + 10a = 10 
⇒                               19a – 23 = 10
⇒                                       19a = 33
⇒                                           a = 33/19

28. If X, Y and Z are the mid-points of sides BC, CA and AB of ΔABC respectively, prove that AZXY is a parallelogram.
Ans. 
In ΔABC
X and Z are mid-points of sides BC and AB respectively.
⇒     XZ || AC (By mid point-theorem)
or    XZ || AY 1
X and Y are mid-points of sides BC and AC respectively
∴      XY || AB (By mid-point theorem)
⇒     XY || AZ
Since in quad AZXY, both pair of opposite sides are parallel
 ∴ AZXY is parallallelogram.

29. In the given alongside figure, ΔABC is a triangle inscribed in a circle, with centre O, such that AB = AC and ∠BEC = 100°. Find the value of x and y. 

Class 9 Mathematics Sample Paper Term 2 With Solutions Set A

Ans. ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral.
∴    ∠A + 100° = 180°     (Opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral)
⇒               ∠A = 80° 
In    ΔABC, AB = AC (Given)
⇒           ∠ABC = ∠ACB = x 
∴     ∠A + 2 ∠x = 180°        (Angle sum property of a triangle)
⇒             2∠x = 180° – 80° = 100° 
⇒                 x = 50° 
BDCE is also a cyclic quadrilateral
∴ y + 100° = 180° ⇒ y = 180° – 100° = 80°
