Extra CBSE Practice Questions or a CBSE Practice Paper for Class 10 Standard Math
More practice questions for the CBSE Class 10 Maths Board Exam 2024 were released by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). There are more practice questions in this resource than in the CBSE sample papers. It is a type of practice paper. But the questions on this sample test are a bit harder. They require you to think more critically and analytically. This means that students will get more questions based on their skills, which is what the new CBSE exam plan calls for.
The questions below are from the CBSE Class 10 Maths Practice Paper. They will help you figure out what kind of questions you can expect on the CBSE Board Exam 2024:
Q. Kimaya and Heena started walking from the point P at the same moment in opposite directions on an 800 m long circular path as shown below. Kimaya walked to the club house at an average speed of 100 m/min and Heena walked to the badminton court at an average speed of 80 m/min. The length of the circular track between the clubhouse and the badminton court is 180 m.
If Heena took 1 minute more than Kimaya to each her destination, find the time taken by Heena to reach the badminton court. Show your work. (2 marks)
Q. ABCD is a rhombus with side 3 cm. Two arcs are drawn from points A and C respectively such that the radius equals the side of the rhombus. The figure is shown below.
If BD is a line of symmetry for the figure, then find the area of the shaded part of the figure in terms of 𝜋. Show your work. (2 marks)
Q. Prime factorisation of three numbers A, B and C is given below: (3 marks)
A = (2r × 3p × 5q)
B = (2p × 3r × 5p)
C = (2q × 3q × 5p) such that, p < q < r and p, q, & r are natural numbers.
♦ The largest number that divides A, B and C without leaving a remainder is 30.
♦ The smallest number that leaves a remainder of 2 when divided by each of A, B and C is 5402. Find A, B and C. Show your work.
