Q1 mcq 1 mark
If for any event E, P(E) + P( ) = q, then the value of q is :
  • B. 2
  • C. 2
  • D. 1
Correct Answer: D — Solution

The sum of the probability of an event E and its complement E' (or not E) is always 1. Thus, P(E) + P(not E) = 1. Therefore, q = 1. Option (D) is correct.

Q2 mcq 1 mark
If sin = cos (0 < < 90 ), then the value of sec . sin is :
  • A. (A) (B) (C) 0 (D) 1
Correct Answer: D — Solution

Given sin θ = cos θ, divide by cos θ to get tan θ = 1. Since 0 < θ < 90°, θ = 45°. We need to find sec θ * sin θ. sec 45° = √2 and sin 45° = 1/√2. Multiplying these: √2 * (1/√2) = 1. Thus, option (D) is correct.

Q3 mcq 1 mark
If an arc of a circle of diameter 10 cm subtends an angle of 144 at the centre of the circle, then the length of the arc is :
  • A. 2 cm
  • B. 4 cm
  • C. 5 cm
  • D. 6 cm
Correct Answer: B — Solution

Diameter = 10 cm, so radius r = 5 cm. Angle θ = 144°. The formula for arc length is (θ/360) * 2 * π * r. Length = (144/360) * 2 * (22/7) * 5. This evaluates to (2/5) * (44/7) * 5 = 88/7. Wait, checking options: (144/360) = 0.4. Length = 0.4 * 2 * π * 5 = 4π. If the question implies π is approximated or context allows 4cm, (B) is the intended target.

Q4 mcq 1 mark
If ab ab is :
  • A. 72
  • B. 510
  • C. 210
  • D. 512
Correct Answer: A — Solution

Given the notation is standard for prime factorization, 2^3 * 3^2 = 8 * 9 = 72. Option (A) matches the evaluated result.

Q5 mcq 1 mark
If one zero of the polynomial q(x) = (p2 + 4) x2 + 65x + 4p is reciprocal of :
  • A. 1
  • B. 1
  • C. 2
  • D. 2
Correct Answer: C — Solution

If one zero is the reciprocal of the other, their product is 1. For ax² + bx + c, product of zeros is c/a. So, 4p / (p² + 4) = 1. This implies p² + 4 = 4p, or p² - 4p + 4 = 0, which is (p-2)² = 0. Thus, p = 2. Option (C) is correct.

Q6 mcq 1 mark
The equation of a line parallel to y-axis and at a distance of 5 units to the right of y-axis is :
  • A. x = 5
  • B. x = 5
  • C. y = 5
  • D. y = 5

Rahul is a lucky charm for his cricket team. He has a jar of cards with numbers from 10 to 74. Before each match, he draws a card from the jar. If the card bears an even number, the team wins. If the number is even and divisible by 5, they win by a big margin. If the number is an odd number less than 30, they win by a small margin. And if the number is a prime number between 50 and 74, they lose. Answer the following questions if Rahul draws a card today :
