SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT – I, 2012
MARKING SCHEME
MATHEMATICS
Class – X
General Instructions :
1. The Marking Scheme provides general guidelines to reduce subjectivity and maintain
uniformity. The answers given in the marking scheme are the best suggested answers.
2. Marking be done as per the instructions provided in the marking scheme. (It should not be
done according to one’s own interpretation or any other consideration). Marking Scheme
be strictly adhered to and religiously followed.
3. Alternative methods be accepted. Proportional marks be awarded.
4. If a question is attempted twice and the candidate has not crossed any answer, only first
attempt be evaluated and ‘EXTRA’ be written with second attempt.
5. In case where no answers are given or answers are found wrong in this Marking Scheme,
correct answers may be found and used for valuation purpose.

  a6qr, where r0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
When r0, a6q  a is even (6q is divisible by 2)
When r1, a6q1  a is odd (6q1 is not divisible by 2) 2
When r2, a6q2  a is even (6q2 is divisible by 2)
When r3, a6q3  a is odd (6q3 is not divisible by 2)
When r4, a6q4  a is even (6q4 is divisible by 2)
When r5, a6q5  a is odd (6q5 is not divisible by 2)
Hence we Conclude
Any odd number is of the form 6q1,6q3 or 6q5
