Answer:
x = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5} and y = x + 3
when x = 0 ⇒ y = 0 + 3 = 3
when x = 1 ⇒ y = 1 + 3 = 4 .
when x = 2 ⇒ y = 2 + 3 = 5
when x = 3 ⇒ y = 3 + 3 = 6
whenx = 4 ⇒ y = 4 + 3 = 7
when x = 5 ⇒ y = 5 + 3 = 8
R = {(0, 3) (1, 4) (2, 5) (3, 6) (4, 7) (5, 8)}
Domain = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
Range = {3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}

Question 16.
Let f = {(-1,3), (0, -1), (2, – 9)} be a linear function from Z to Z. Find f(x).
Answer:
The linear equation is f(x) = ax + b
f(-1) = 3
a(-1) + b = 3
-a + b = 3 ….(1)
f(0) = -1
a(0) + b = -1
0 + b = -1
b = -1
Substitute the value of b = -1 in (1)
– a – 1 = 3
– a = 3 + 1 ⇒ – a = 4
a = -4
∴ The linear equation is -4(x) -1 = -4x – 1 (or) – (4x + 1)

Question 17.
Solve 8x = 1 (mod 11)
Answer:
8x ≡ 1 (mod 11) can be written as 8x – 1 = 11k, for some integer k.
x = \(\frac{11 k+1}{8}\)
When we put k = 5, 13, 21, 29,… . then 11 k + 1 is divisible by 8.
x = \(\frac{11 \times 5+1}{8}\) = 7
x = \(\frac{11 \times 13+1}{8}\) = 18
Therefore, the solutions are 7,18,29,40, …….

How many terms of the series 13 + 23 + 33 +………..  should be taken to get the sum 14400?
Answer:
13 + 23 + 33 +. . . + n3 = 14400
\(\left[\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\right]^{2}\) = 14400
\(\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\) = √14400
\(\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\) = 120 ⇒ n2 + n = 240
n2 + n – 240 =0
Tamil Nadu 10th Maths Model Question Paper 3 English Medium - 1
(n + 16) (n – 15) =0
(n + 16) = 0 or (n – 15) = 0
n = -16 or n = 15 (Negative will be omitted)
∴ The number of terms taken is 15

Tamil Nadu 10th Maths Model Question Paper 3 English Medium - 3
= (a – 7) (a – 5) (a + 2)
G.C.D. = (a – 7)
Tamil Nadu 10th Maths Model Question Paper 3 English Medium - 4
p(x) = a2 – 12a + 35
= (a – 5) (a – 7)
q(x) = \(\frac{\mathrm{LCM} \times \mathrm{GCD}}{p(x)}\)
= \(\frac{(a-7)(a-5)(a+2) \times(a-7)}{(a-5)(a-7)}\)
q(x) = (a + 2) (a – 7)

Question 21.
Construct a 3 × 3 matrix whose elements are aij = i2 j2
Answer:
The general 3 × 3 matrix is given by A = \(\left[ \begin{matrix} { a }_{ 11 } & { a }_{ 12 } & { a }_{ 13 } \\ { a }_{ 21 } & { a }_{ 22 } & { a }_{ 23 } \\ { a }_{ 31 } & { a }_{ 32 } & { a }_{ 33 } \end{matrix} \right]\) aij = i2 j2

a11 = 12 × 12 = 1 × 1 = 1;
a12 = 12 × 22 = 1 × 4 = 4;
a13 = 12 × 32 = 1 × 9 = 9;

a21 = 22 × 12 = 4 × 1 = 4;
a22 = 22 × 22 = 4 × 4 = 16;
a23 = 22 × 32 = 4 × 9 = 36;

a31 = 32 × 12 = 9 × 1 = 1;
a32 = 32 × 22 = 9 × 4 = 36;
a33 = 32 × 32 = 9 × 9 = 81;
Hence the required matrix is A = \(\left[ \begin{matrix} 1 & 4 & 9 \\ 4 & 16 & 36 \\ 9 & 36 & 81 \end{matrix} \right] \)

Answer:
Tamil Nadu 10th Maths Model Question Paper 3 English Medium - 7
Let the distance of the car from the rock is “x” m
In the right ∆ ABC, tan 30° = \(\frac{A B}{B C}\)
\(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{50 \sqrt{3}}{x}\)
X = 50 √3 × √3 = 50 × 3
= 150 m
∴ Distance of the car from the rock =150 m

Question 25.
If n = 5, x̄ = 6, Σx2 = 765, then calculate the coefficient of variation.
Answer:
Standard deviation (σ) = \(\sqrt{\frac{\Sigma x^{2}}{n}-\left(\frac{\Sigma x}{n}\right)^{2}}\)
\(=\sqrt{\frac{765}{5}-(6)^{2}}=\sqrt{153-36}=\sqrt{117}\)
σ = 10.816
Coefficient of variation = \(\frac{\sigma}{\bar{x}} \times 100 \%\)
= \(\frac{10.816}{6} \times 100 \%\) = 180.266%
Coefficient of variation = 180. 27%

Question 26.
The roots of the equation x2 + 6x – 4 = 0 are α, β. Find the quadratic equation whose roots are \(\frac{2}{\alpha}\) and \(\frac{2}{\beta}\).
Answer:
α and β are the roots of x2 + 6x – 4 = 0
α + β = -6 ; αβ = -4
Sum of the roots = \(\frac{2}{\alpha}+\frac{2}{\beta}\)
\(\frac{2 \beta+2 \alpha}{\alpha \beta}=\frac{2(\alpha+\beta)}{\alpha \beta}=\frac{2(-6)}{-4}\)
= 3
Product of the roots = \(\frac{2}{\alpha} \times \frac{2}{\beta}=\frac{4}{\alpha \beta}\)
= \(\frac{4}{-4}=-1\)
The quadratic equation is x2 – (sum of the roots) x + product of the roots = 0
∴ x2 – 3x – 1 = 0 .

Question 27.
If the points A(2, 5), B(4, 6) and C(8, a) are collinear, find the value of “a” using slope concept.
Answer:
Since the three points are collinear
Slope of line = \(\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\)
Slope of AB = Slope of BC
\(\frac{6-5}{4-2}=\frac{a-6}{8-4}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}=\frac{a-6}{4}\)
2a – 12 = 4 ⇒ 2a = 16
a = \(\frac{16}{2}\) = 8
The value of a = 8

Question 29.
Find x if gff (x) = fgg (x), given f(x) = 3x + 1 and g(x) = x + 3.
Answer:
gff(x) = g [f {f{x)}} (This means “g of f of f of x”)
= g[f(3x + 1)] = g[3(3x + 1) + 1] = g(9x + 4)
g (9x + 4) = [ (9x + 4) + 3] = 9x + 7
fgg (x) = f[g{g (x)}] (This means “f of g of g of x”)
= f[g(x + 3)] = f[(x + 3) + 3] = f(x + 6)
f(x + 6) = [3(x + 6) + 1] = 3x + 19
These two quantities being equal, we get 9x + 7 = 3x + 19. Solving this equation we obtain x = 2.

Monthly savings form an A.P.
2000, 2600, 3200 ….
a = 2000 ; d = 2600 – 2000 = 600
Given tn = 20,000
tn = a + (n – 1) d
20000 = 2000 + (n – 1) 600
20000 = 2000 + 600n – 600
= 1400 + 600n
20000 – 1400 = 600n
1860o = 600n
n = \(\frac{18600}{600}\) = 31
He will take 31 years to save ₹20,000 per month

Question 34.
If the roots of the equation (c2 – ab)x2 – 2(a2 – bc)x + b2 – ac = 0 are real and equal prove that either a = 0 (or) a3 + b3 + c3 = 3abc
Answer:
(c2 – ab)x2 – 2(a2 – bc)x + b2 – ac = 0
Here a = c2 – ab ; b = -2 (a2 – bc) ; c = b2 – ac
Since the roots are real and equal
Δ = b2 – 4ac
[-2 (a2 – bc)]2 – 4(c2 – ab) (b2 – ac) = 0
4(a2 – bc)2 – 4[c 2b2 – ac3 – ab3+ a2bc] = 0
Divided by 4 we get
(a2 – bc)2 [c2b2 – ac3 – ab2 + a2bc] = 0
a4 + b2c2 – 2a2bc – c2b2 + ac3 + ab3 – a2bc = 0
a4 + ab3 + ac3 – 3a2bc = 0
a(a3 +b3 + c3) = 3a2bc
a3 + b3 + c3 = \(\frac{3 a^{2} b c}{a}\)
a3 + b3 + c3 = 3abc
Hence it is proved

In ∆ ADC, AF is the internal bisector of ∠DAC
By Angle bisector theorem, we have,
\(\frac{A D}{A C}=\frac{D F}{F C}\)
∴ \(\frac{A B}{A C}=\frac{D F}{F C}\) (AB = AD given) …….. (2)
From (1) and (2), we get
\(\frac{B E}{E C}=\frac{D F}{F C}\)
Hence In ∆ BCD,

Question 36.
Find the equation of a straight line passing through (1,-4) and has intercepts which are in the ratio 2:5
Answer:
Let the x-intercept be 2a and the y intercept 5a .
The equation of a line is \(\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{a}=1 \Rightarrow \frac{x}{2 a}+\frac{y}{5 a}=1\)
The line passes through the point (1, -A)
\(\frac{1}{2 a}+\frac{(-4)}{5 a}=1 \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2 a}-\frac{4}{5 a}=1\)
Multiply by 10a
(L.C.M of 2a and 5a is 10a)
5 – 8 = 10a ⇒ -3 = 10a .
a = \(\frac{-3}{10}\)
The equation of the line is \(\frac{x}{2(-3 / 10)}+\frac{y}{5(-3 / 10)}=1\)
\(\frac{x}{-3 / 5}+\frac{y}{-3 / 2}=1 \Rightarrow \frac{5 x}{-3}+\frac{2 y}{-3}=1\)
\(\frac{-5 x}{3}-\frac{2 y}{3}=1\)
Multiply by 3
-5x – 2y = 3 ⇒ -5x – 2y – 3 = 0
5x + 2y + 3 = 0
The equation of a line is 5x + 2y + 3 = 0

Answer:
Tamil Nadu 10th Maths Model Question Paper 3 English Medium - 15
Let r and h be the radius and height of the cylinder respectively.
Given that, diameter d = 12 cm, radius r = 6 cm
Total height of the toy is 25 cm
Therefore, height of the cylindrical portion = 25 – 6 = 19 cm
T.S.A. of the toy = C.S.A. of the cylinder + C.S.A. of the hemisphere + Base Area of the cylinder
= 2πrh + 2πr2 + πr2
= πr(2h + 3r) sq.unis
= \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) × 6(38 + 18)
= \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) × 6 × 56 = 1056
Therefore, T.S.A. of the toy is 1056 cm2

A = {HHT, HTH, THH}
n(A) = 3
P(A) = \(\frac{n(\mathrm{A})}{n(\mathrm{S})}=\frac{3}{8}\)
Let B be the event of getting atleast one tail
B = {HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT}
n(B) = 7
P(B) = \(\frac{n(\mathrm{B})}{n(\mathrm{S})}=\frac{7}{8}\)
Let C be the event of getting consecutively
C = {HHH, HHT, THH}
n(C) = 3
P(C) = \(\frac{n(\mathrm{C})}{n(\mathrm{S})}=\frac{3}{8}\)
A ∩ B = { HHT, HTH, THH}
n(A ∩ B) = 3
p(A ∩ B) = \(\frac{n(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B})}{n(\mathrm{S})}=\frac{3}{8}\)
B ∩ C = {HHT, THH}
n(B ∩ C) = 2
p(B ∩ C) = \(\frac{n(\mathrm{B} \cap \mathrm{C})}{n(\mathrm{S})}=\frac{2}{8}\)
A ∩ C = {HHT, THH}
n(A ∩ C) = 2
P(A ∩ C) = \(\frac{n(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{C})}{n(\mathrm{S})}=\frac{2}{8}\)
(A ∩ B ∩ C) = 2
P(A ∩ B ∩ C) = \(\frac{n(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B} \cap \mathrm{C})}{n(\mathrm{S})}=\frac{2}{8}\)
P(A∪B∪C) = P(A) + P(B) + P(C) -P(A ∩ B) – p(B ∩ C) – P(A ∩ C) + P(A∩B∩C)
\(=\frac{3}{8}+\frac{7}{8}+\frac{3}{8}-\frac{3}{8}-\frac{2}{8}-\frac{2}{8}+\frac{2}{8}\)
\(=\frac{3}{8}+\frac{7}{8}-\frac{2}{8}\)
\(=\frac{10-2}{8}=\frac{8}{8}\) = 1

Question 41.
A tent is in the shape of a cylinder surmounted by a conical top. If the height and diameter of the cylindrical part are 2.1 m and 4m, and slant height of the top is 2.8 m, find the area of the canvas used for making the tent. Also find the cost of canvas of the tent at the rate of ₹500 per m2.
Answer:
Tamil Nadu 10th Maths Model Question Paper 3 English Medium - 19
For conical portion
Radius (r) = 2m
Slant height (l) = 2.8 m
For cylindrical portion
Radius (R) = 2m
Height (H) = 2.1 m
Area of canvas used for the tent = Curved surface area of a cone + curved area of the cylinder
= πrl + 2πRH
= π(2 × 2.8 + 2 × 2 × 2.1)
= \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) (5.6+ 8.4)
= \(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) × 14 sq.m
= 44 sq. m
Cost of the canvas at the rate of ₹500 per m2 = ₹ 500 × 44
= ₹ 22000

Question 42.
Seven years ago Ramkumar’s age was five time the square of Daniel’s age. Three years hence Daniel age will be two fifth of Ramkumar’s age. Find their present ages.
Answer:
Seven years ago, let Daniel’s age be x years
Seven years ago, Ramkumar age was 5x2 years
Daniel’s present age = (x + 7) year
Ramkumar’s present age = 5x2 + 7 years
Three years hence
Daniel’s age = (x + 7 + 3) year = (x + 10) years
Ramkumar’s age = (5x2 + 7 + 3) year = (5x2 + 10) years
By the given condition
x + 10 = \(\frac { 2 }{ 5 }\) (5x2 +10)
5x + 50 = 10x2 + 20
10x2 – 5x – 30 = 0
2x2 – x – 6 = 0
2x2 – 4x + 3x – 6 = 0
2x (x – 2) + 3(x – 2) = 0
(x – 2) (2x + 3) = 0
x – 2 = 0 or 2x + 3 = 0
x = 2 or x = \(\frac { -3 }{ 2 }\)
∴ x = 2 (age will not be negative)
Hence Daniel age = 9 years (2 + 7)
Ramkumar’s age = 27 years [5(2)2 + 7]
