Solution & Step-by-Step Answer:
i. Find the circumference of a circle whose area is 1386 cm²? [Chapter 15] (A) 132 cm² (B) 132 cm (C) 42 cm (D) 21 cm² Solution: (B) 132 cm
Hint:
i. Area of the circle = πr²
1386 = x r²
r² = 1386 x
= 63 x 7
= 441
r = √441 … [Taking square root of both sides]
= 21 cm
Circumference of the circle = 2πr
= 2 x x 21
= 132 cm
ii. The side of a cube is 4 m. If it is doubled, how many times will be the volume of the new cube, as compared with the original cube? [Chapter 16]
(A) Two times
(B) Three times
(C) Four times
(D) Eight times
Solution:
(D) Eight times
Hint:
ii. Original volume = (4)³ = 64 cu.m
New side = 8 m
∴ New volume = (8)² = 512 cu.m
Now, = 8
original volume 64
∴ volume of new cube will increase 8 times as compared to the volume of original cube.

Question 5
Maharashtra Board Solution
In ☐ABCD, side AB || side DC, seg AE ⊥ seg DC. If l(AB) = 9 cm, l(AE) = 10 cm, A(☐ABCD) = 115 cm², find l(DC). [Chapter 15]
Solution & Step-by-Step Answer:
Given, side AB || side DC. ∴ ☐ABCD is a trapezium. Given, l(AB) = 9 cm, l(AE) = 10 cm, A(☐ABCD) = 115 cm² Area of a trapezium = x sum of lengths of parallel sides x height ∴ A(☐ABCD) = x [l(AB) + l(DC) x l(AE)] ∴ 115 = x [9 + l(DC)] x 10 ∴ = 9 + l(DC) ∴ 23 = 9 + l(DC) ∴ l(DC) = 23 – 9 ∴ l(DC) = 14cm
Question 6
Maharashtra Board Solution
The diameter and height of a cylindrical tank is 1.75 m and 3.2 m respectively. How much is the capacity of tank in litre? [π = ] [Chapter 16]
Solution & Step-by-Step Answer:
Given: For cylindrical tank: diameter (d) = 1.75 m, height (h) = 3.2 m To Find: Capacity of tank in litre diameter (d) = 1.75 m = 1.75 x 100 ….[∵ 1 m = 100cm] = 175 cm ∴ radius (r) = cm h = 3.2 cm = 3.2 x 100 = 320 cm Capacity of tank = Volume of the cylindrical tank = πr²h ∴ The capacity of the tank is 7700 litre.
Question 7
Maharashtra Board Solution
The length of a chord of a circle is 16.8 cm, radius is 9.1 cm. Find its distance from the centre. [Chapter 17]
Solution & Step-by-Step Answer:
Let CD be the chord of the Circle with centre O. Draw seg OP ⊥ chord CD ∴l(PD) = l(CD) …[Perpendicular drawn from the centre of a circle to its chord bisects the chord] ∴l(PD) = x 16.8 …[l(CD) = 16.8cm] ∴l(PD) = 8.4 cm …(i) ∴In ∆OPD, m∠OPD = 90° ∴[l(OD)]² = [l(OP)]² + [l(PD)]² …..[Pythagoras theorem] ∴(9.1)² = [l(OP)]² + (8.4)² … [From (i) and l(OD) = 9.1 cm] ∴(9.1)² – (8.4)² = [l(OP)]² ∴(9.1 + 8.4) (9.1 – 8.4) = [l(OP)]² …[∵ a² – b² = (a + b) (a – b)] ∴17.5 x (0.7) = [l(OP)]² ∴12.25 = [l(OP)]² i.e., [l(OP)]² = 12.25 ∴l(OP) = √12.25 …[Taking square root of both sides] ∴l(OP) = 3.5 cm ∴The distance of the chord from the centre is 3.5 cm.

Question 9
Maharashtra Board Solution
Solve the following equations. i. 17 (x + 4) + 8 (x + 6) = 11 (x + 5) + 15 (x + 3) ii. iii. 5(1 – 2x) = 9(1 -x) [Chapter 12]
Solution & Step-by-Step Answer:
i. 17 (x + 4) + 8 (x + 6) = 11 (x + 5) + 15 (x + 3) ∴ 17x + 68 + 8x + 48 = 11x + 55 + 15x + 45 ∴ 17x + 8x + 68 + 48 = 11x + 15x + 55 + 45 ∴ 25x + 116 = 26x + 100 ∴ 25x + 116 – 116 = 26x + 100 – 116 … [Subtracting 116 from both the sides] ∴ 25x = 26x – 16 ∴ 25x – 26x = 26x – 16 – 26x … [Subtracting 26x from both the sides] ∴ -x = -16 ∴ ∴ x = 16
ii. iii. 5(1 – 2x) = 9(1 – x)

Question 11
Maharashtra Board Solution
The shape of a farm is a quadrilateral. Measurements taken of the farm, by naming its corners as P, Q, R, S in order are as follows. l(PQ) = 170 m, l(QR) = 250 m, l(RS) = 100 m, l(PS) = 240 m, l(PR) = 260 m. Find the area of the field in hectare (1 hectare = 10,000 sq.m). [Chapter 15]
Solution & Step-by-Step Answer:
Area of the field = A(∆PQR) + A(∆PSR) In ∆PQR, a = 170 m, b = 250 m, c = 260 m Semiperimeter of ∆PQR = s Area of the field = A(∆PQR) + A(∆PSR) = 20400 + 12000 = 32400 sq.m = …[1 hectare = 10,000 sq.m] = 3.24 hectares ∴ The area of the field is 3.24 hectares.
Question 12
Maharashtra Board Solution
In a library, 50% of total number of books is of Marathi. The books of English are of Marathi books. The books on Mathematics are 25% of the English books. The remaining 560 books are of other subjects. What is the total number of books in the library? [Chapter 12]
Solution & Step-by-Step Answer:
Let the total number of books in the library be x 50% of total number of books is of Marathi. Number of Marathi books = 50% of x = = The books of English are of Marathi books. Number of books of English = = The books on Mathematics are 25% of the English books. Number of books of Mathematics = 25% of = = Since, there are 560 books of other subjects, the total number of books in the library are ∴ 24x – 17x = 17x + 13440 – 17x ∴ 7x = 13440 ∴ ∴ x = 1920 ∴ The total number of books in the library are 1920.
