CBSE Class 10 Mathematics Standard 2026: question 4

Set in the CBSE Class 10 board exam of 2026, paper 30/1/1, section A, question 4, for 1 mark. Try it first; the hints and our step-by-step solution are below.

Q4 · 1 mark · MCQPolynomials

The graph of is given. The number of zeroes of is :

  1. (A)0
  2. (B)1
  3. (C)2
  4. (D)4

Figure in the paper: Cartesian axes with X'OX horizontal and Y'OY vertical. A wavy curve is drawn that rises on the left, has a hump (local maximum) near the centre, dips, and rises again on the right, lying entirely above the x-axis. See it in the official paper.

Hints

Open one hint at a time and try again before the next.

Hint 1

Zeroes show up where the graph meets the x-axis.

Hint 2

Count how many times the curve meets the x-axis.

Step-by-step solution

Each step shows the marks it earns, as an examiner would award them. Checked by an independent re-solve from the question paper.

  1. The zeroes of are the -coordinates of the points where the graph meets the -axis.

  2. The curve lies entirely above the -axis and never cuts or touches it. So the number of zeroes is 0. Option (a).
