NCERT Solutions for class 10 maths construction - Important Points

Determination of a Point Dividing a Line Segment Internally:

Given a line segment AB, a point P can be determined that divides AB internally in the ratio M : N using the formula: AP/AB = M/(M+N)

Construction of a Tangent to a Circle with Known Center - A tangent can be constructed at a specific point P on a circle with a known centre O. The tangent line is perpendicular to the radius OP.

Construction of a Tangent to a Circle without Known Center - Even without knowing the exact center of the circle, you can construct a tangent at a point P on the circle using geometric methods.

Construction of Tangents from an External Point to a Circle with Known Center - Tangents can be drawn from an external point E to a circle with a known centre O. The tangent lines are equal in length and angles between the radius and tangents are right angles.

Construction of Tangents from an External Point to a Circle without Known Center - Even without knowing the circle's center, you can construct tangents from an external point E to the circle using specific techniques.

Construction of a Similar Triangle with Given Scale Factor (m/n), m < n:

To construct a triangle similar to a given triangle ABC, but scaled down with a ratio m/n, the corresponding sides of the new triangle are m times smaller than the sides of ABC.

Construction of a Similar Triangle with Given Scale Factor (m/n), m > n:

Similarly, if the scale factor m/n is greater than 1, the corresponding sides of the new triangle are m times larger than the sides of ABC.

NCERT Solutions for Maths Chapter 11 Construction Class 10th Excercise: 11.1

In each of the following, give the justification of the construction also:
Q1 Draw a line segment of length 7.6 cm and divide it in the ratio 5 : 8. Measure the two parts.

Answer:

Steps of construction:-

(i) Draw a line segment AB of measurement 7.6 cm (length).

(ii) Now draw an acute angle AC with line segment AB.

(iii) Now cut 13 equal points on the line AC where the zeroth point is A.

(iv) Join the 13th point with point B. So the new line is BA 13 .

(v) Now, from point A 5 draw a line parallel to BA 13 on line AB. Name the point as D.

The point D is the required point which divides the line segment in the ratio of 5: 8.

Hello Aspirant,  Hope your doing great,  your question was incomplete and regarding  what exam your asking.

Yes, scoring above 80% in ICSE Class 10 exams typically meets the requirements to get into the Commerce stream in Class 11th under the CBSE board . Admission criteria can vary between schools, so it is advisable to check the specific requirements of the intended CBSE school. Generally, a good academic record with a score above 80% in ICSE 10th result is considered strong for such transitions.

hello Zaid,

Yes, you can apply for 12th grade as a private candidate .You will need to follow the registration process and fulfill the eligibility criteria set by CBSE for private candidates.If you haven't given the 11th grade exam ,you would be able to appear for the 12th exam directly without having passed 11th grade. you will need to give certain tests in the school you are getting addmission to prove your eligibilty.

best of luck!

According to cbse norms candidates who have completed class 10th, class 11th, have a gap year or have failed class 12th can appear for admission in 12th class.for admission in cbse board you need to clear your 11th class first and you must have studied from CBSE board or any other recognized and equivalent board/school.

You are not eligible for cbse board but you can still do 12th from nios which allow candidates to take admission in 12th class as a private student without completing 11th.
