(a)
\( P \left( 1 + \frac{r}{100} \right)^n \)
(b)
\( P \left( 1 + \frac{r}{50} \right)^n \)
(c)
\( P \left( 1 + \frac{r}{100} \right)^{2n} \)
(d)
\( P \left( 1 - \frac{r}{100} \right)^n \)
2. A person deposited Rs. 100 in a bank and received Rs. 121 after two years, the rate of compound interest is
(a)
10%
(b)
20%
(c)
5%
(d)
10.5%
3. \(\sqrt{5} - 3 = 2\) is
(a)
A rational number
(b)
A natural number
(c)
Equal to zero
(d)
An irrational number
4. Which of the following rational numbers have a terminating decimal expression?
(a)
\( \frac{125}{441} \)
(b)
\( \frac{77}{210} \)
(c)
\( \frac{15}{1600} \)
(d)
\( \frac{129}{2^2 \times 5^2 \times 7^2} \)

Group B [4 × 2 = 8]

All questions converted to multiple choice format.

1. To prove that \( 3\sqrt{7} \) is not a rational number, which approach is correct?
(a)
Assume \(3\sqrt{7}\) is rational, then \(\sqrt{7} = \frac{a}{3b}\) where a, b are integers, which implies \(\sqrt{7}\) is rational - a contradiction
(b)
Assume \(3\sqrt{7}\) is rational, then \(\sqrt{7} = \frac{a}{b}\) where a, b are integers with no common factors - leads to contradiction as 7 divides a²
(c)
Since \(\sqrt{7}\) is irrational and 3 is rational, their product must be rational
(d)
\(3\sqrt{7}\) can be written as \(\sqrt{63}\), and since 63 is not a perfect square, it's rational
2. If a sum of money doubles itself at certain rate compounded annually in n years, in how many years will the sum become four times of itself?

n years
(b)
2n years
(c)

(b)
\( P \left(1 + \frac{2r}{100}\right) \)
(c)
\( P \left(1 + \frac{r}{50}\right) \)
(d)
\( P + \frac{2Pr}{100} \)
4. Which of the following is an irrational number between 2 and 3?
(a)
2.5
(b)
\( \sqrt{4} \)
(c)
\( \sqrt{5} \)
(d)
\( \sqrt{9} \)

Group C [5 × 4 = 20]

All questions converted to multiple choice format. For questions with "OR", both parts are included as separate options.

1. The expression \( \left( 3 + 2\sqrt{5} \right)^2 \) is:
(a)
Irrational because it simplifies to \( 29 + 12\sqrt{5} \), which is a sum of rational and irrational
(b)
Rational because it equals \( 49 \)
(c)
Irrational because \( \sqrt{5} \) is irrational
(d)
Rational because it simplifies to \( 29 + 12\sqrt{5} \) and \( 12\sqrt{5} \) is rational
2. If p is a prime number, \( \sqrt{p} \) is:
(a)
Always rational
(b)
Always irrational
(c)
Rational if p is even, irrational if p is odd
(d)
Irrational except when p = 4

(e)
2
(f)
5
(g)
10
(h)
\( \frac{10}{\sqrt{21}} \)
4. If simple interest and compound interest on a certain sum for two years are Rs. 8400 and Rs. 8652 respectively, then:
(a)
Rate = 5%, Sum = Rs. 80,000
(b)
Rate = 6%, Sum = Rs. 70,000
(c)
Rate = 8%, Sum = Rs. 60,000
(d)
Rate = 10%, Sum = Rs. 50,000
5. In how many years will Rs. 50000 amount to Rs. 60500 at 10% compound interest per annum?

Trigonometry, Probability and Statistics 90 Difficult Problems CBSE, ICSE Class X

 

📘 Mastering Trigonometry, Probability & Statistics for Class X CBSE & ICSE Boards

Board exams are around the corner, and three chapters that always carry high weightage in Class X Mathematics are Trigonometry, Probability, and Statistics. These topics not only appear every year but also form the base for higher classes.

To help you practice effectively, here’s a comprehensive 90-question problem sheet covering all major types of problems that can be asked in your board exams.


🔹 Why Focus on These Topics?

  • Trigonometry: Around 8–10 marks every year (Identities, Heights & Distances).

  • Probability: 4–6 marks, usually simple but tricky MCQ-type.

  • Statistics: 8–10 marks (Mean, Median, Mode, Graphs, Ogive, Histogram).

That means almost 25% of your math exam comes directly from these three chapters!


🟦 1. Trigonometry Section (Q.1–30, 71–90)

This section begins with basic identities and proofs like:

👉 Tip: Always draw a rough figure in height & distance problems; 50% of the solution comes just from a correct diagram.


🟩 2. Probability Section (Q.31–50)

The probability section has a mix of dice, coins, cards, and real-life examples:

  • Simple dice problems (Q.31–33, 37–38).

  • Coin toss problems (Q.39–40).

  • Playing cards (Q.35, Q.48).

  • Real-world word problems with marbles, ice creams, tickets, etc.

👉 Tip: Always remember

P(E)=Favourable OutcomesTotal OutcomesP(E) = \frac{\text{Favourable Outcomes}}{\text{Total Outcomes}}

and carefully check whether the problem is "or" (union) or "and" (intersection) type.


🟥 3. Statistics Section (Q.51–70)

This section covers:

  • Mean, Median, Mode (Q.51–59, Q.67–69).

  • Ogives & Histograms (Q.60–64).

  • Word problems with real-life data (Q.65–70).

👉 Tip:

  • Use step-deviation method for quicker calculation of mean.

  • Median = value of N2\frac{N}{2}-th observation (learn how to locate it correctly in cumulative frequency tables).

  • For graphs, label your axis neatly—marks are often lost for presentation.


📌 How to Use This Problem Sheet?

  1. Start with Trigonometric Identities → They sharpen algebraic manipulation skills.

  2. Move to Probability → These are quick, scoring questions.

  3. Finish with Statistics → Practice graphs separately for neatness and accuracy.

  4. Solve at least 10 questions daily from the sheet.

  5. Time yourself as if in an exam.


🌟 Final Words

This 90-question sheet is a perfect revision package for Class X boards. If you can solve these confidently, you’ll be exam-ready for all tricky variations.

📌 Pro Tip: Practice without looking at the answers first, then cross-check.

💡 Consistency is the key—solve 3–5 questions every day and revise formulas daily.
