8. (B), In the distribution,

Median class = 160 – 165

Hence Upper limit of median class = 165

and Modal class = 150 – 155

So Lower limit of Modal class = 150

Hence, Sum of upper limit of Median class and lower limit of Modal class

= 165 + 150 = 315. 1

Question number 9 to 14 carry two marks each.

9. No.

15 does not divide 175.

LCM is exactly divisible by their HCF. 1

Two numbers cannot have their HCF as 15 and LCM as 175. 1

10. Given,  p ( x) = 2 x2 –  x – 6

= 2 x2 – 4 x + 3 x = 6

= 2 x ( x – 2) + 3 ( x – 2)

= (2 x + 3) ( x – 2)

So zeroes are 2 and 3

So, system has unique solution.

Multiply eqn. (1) by 5 and multiply eqn. (2) by 7 and subtract,

– + –

22 y = – 154

 y = – 7

Put the value of  y in eqn. (1)

5 x – 6(–7) = 57 5 x = 57 – 42 = 15

 x = 3

Hence,  x = 3 and y = –7. 1

Or 

ax + by =a b

or 2ax + 2by = a + b ...(i)

and 3 x + 5 y = 4 ...(ii) 1

Multiplying (i) by 5 and (ii) by 2b, we get

 x – y = – 20 ...(2)

Subtracting (2) from (1), we get x = 20

Now, sum of zeroes = + = 6 + 9 = 15

The odd positive integers n can be expressed as 6q + 1, 6q + 3, 6q + 5 ½

n = 6q + 1

n 2 = (6q + 1)2

= 36q2 + 12q + 1 ½

= 6 (6q 2 + 2q) + 1

= 6m + 1 where m = 6q2 + 2q

n = 6q + 3 ½n2 = (6q + 3)2

= 36q2 + 36q + 9

= 6(6q2 + 6q + 1) + 3

= 6m + 3where m = 6q2 + 6q + 1 ½

n = 6q + 5

n2 = (6q + 5)2

= 36q2 + 60q + 25 ½

= 6(6q2 + 10q + 4) + 1

= 6m + 1 where m = 6q2 + 10q + 4

Thus square of an odd positive integer is either of the form 6m + 1 (or) 6m + 3. ½

Opposite sides are equal.

i.e., BE = CD  x + y = 5 ...(i)

and DE = BC = x – y 1

Since perimeter of ABCDE is 21

 AB + BC + CD + DE + EA = 21

Now, we have to show that the product of three consecutive positive integers is divisible by 6.

We know that any positive integer a is of the form 3q, 3q + 1 or 3q + 2 for some integer q.

Let a, a + 1, a + 2 be any three consecutive integers. ½

Case I. If  a = 3q.

a(a + 1) (a + 2) = 3q(3q + 1) (3q + 2)

which is divisible by 6. 1

Case II. If  a = 3q + 1.

a(a + 1) (a + 2) = (3q + 1) (3q + 2) (3q + 3)

= (even number say 2r) (3) (q + 1)

= 6r (q + 1), 1

which is divisible by 6.

Case III. If  a = 3q + 2.

a(a + 1) (a + 2) = (3q + 2) (3q + 3) (3q + 4)

= multiple of 6 for every q
