Question 1.
The solution set of the inequality |x – 7| < 2 is
(a) (3, 7)
(b) (5, 9)
(c) (8, 9)
(d)( -5, -9)
Solution:
(b) – 2 < (x – 7) < 2
⇒ -2 + 7 < x < 2 + 7
∴ 5 < x < 9
Hence, solution set is (5, 9).
Question 2.
If A is a non-singular 3 × 3 matrix and B is its adjoint such that |B| = 100, then |A| is equal to
(a) 81
(b) +9
(c) +10
(d) 15
Solution:
(c) Given, A is a square matrix of order 3 and 6 is its adjoint such that 161 = 100
⇒ |adj A| = |B|
∵ |adj A| = |A|n-1 for any non-singular square matrix A of order n.
For given matrix A of order 3 × 3, we have
|adj A| = |A|3-1 = |A|²
⇒ |A|² = 100
⇒ |A| = ±10
Question 3.
Two pipes A and B can fill a tank in 24 min and 32 min respectively. If both the pipes are opened simultaneously, after x min should B be closed so that the tank can be filled in 18 min. The value of x is
(a) 2
(b) 4
(c) 6
(d) 8
Solution:
(d) Let x be the time after which pipe B should be closed so that the tank can be filled in 18 min. Part of tank filled by pipe A in 1 min = \(\frac{1}{24}\)
Part of tank filled by pipe B in 1 min = \(\frac{1}{32}\)
Pipe A is opened for the whole time i.e. for 18 min and B is opened for x min.
According to the question,
Hence, pipe B should be closed after 8 min.

Solution:
(a) Given, upstream speed of person = 6 km/h
Downstream speed of person = 8 km/h
Speed of stream or current
= \(\frac{1}{2}\)(Downstream speed – Upstream speed)
= \(\frac{1}{2}\)(8 – 6) = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 2 = 1 km/h

Question 9.
The interval in which the function f(x) = 10 – 6x – 2x² is decreasing is
Solution:
(c) We have, f(x) = 10 – 6x – 2x²
⇒ f'(x) = -6 – 4x
For f(x)to be decreasing, we must have
f'(x) < 0
⇒ -6 – 4x < 0
⇒ -(6 + 4x) < 0
⇒ 6 + 4x > 0
⇒ x > –\(\frac{3}{2}\) ⇒ x ∈ (-\(\frac{3}{2}\), ∞)
Thus, f(x) is increasing on the interval (\(\frac{-3}{2}\), ∞).
Question 10.
If A and B are square matrices such that B = -A-1 BA, then (A + B)² = is equal to
(a) 0
(b) A² + B²
(c) A² + 2AB + B²
(d) A + B
Solution:
(b) Given, B = -A-1 BA
⇒ AB = -AA-1BA
⇒ AB = -BA ⇒ AB + BA = 0
Now, (A+ B)² = (A + B)(A + B)
⇒ A² + AB + BA + B²
= A² + 0 + B² [∵ AB + BA = 0]
= A² + B²
Question 11.

(d) 180
Solution:
(b) As clear from the graph, corner points are O, A E and D with coordinates (0, 0), (52,0), (44,16) and (0, 38), respectively. Also, given region is bounded.
Here, Z = 3x + 4y
∵ 2x + y = 104 and 2x + 4y = 152
⇒ -3y = -48 ⇒ y = 16 and x = 44
Comer points | Corresponding vaue of Z =3x + 4y |
O(0, 0) | 0 |
A(52, 0) | 156 |
E(44, 16) | 196 (Maximum) |
D(0, 38) | 152 |
Hence, Z at E(44, 16) is maximum and its maximum value is 196.
Directions In the question number 19 and 20, a statement of Assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R). Choose the correct option.
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Solution:
(b) Assertion Let the quantity of copper and zinc in brass is 13x and 7x respectively. Total quantity of brass = 13x + 7x = 20x.
According to the question,
20x = 100 ⇒ x = 5
Quantity of zinc = 7 × 5 = 35 kg
Hence, both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Question 20.

Question 26.
Tap A can fill a tank 3 times faster than tap B and takes 28 min less than tap B to fill the tank. If both the taps are opened simultaneously, then find the time taken to fill the tank.
Solution:
Let the time taken by tap A to fill the tank be x min. Then, time taken by tap 6 to fill the tank be 3x min.
Then, according to the question,
3x – x = 28 ⇒ 2x = 28
⇒ x = \(\frac{28}{2}\) = 14min
Time taken by tap A = 14 min;
Part filled by tap A in 1 min = \(\frac{1}{14}\)
Time taken by tap B = 3 × 14 = 42 min
Part filled by tap 6 in 1 min = \(\frac{1}{42}\)
∴ Part filled by both taps in 1 min
= \(\frac{1}{14}+\frac{1}{42}=\frac{3+1}{42}=\frac{4}{42}=\frac{2}{21}\)
So, time taken by both taps to fill the tank0 working together = \(\frac{21}{2}\) min
Question 27.
A manufacturer of electronic circuits has a stock of 200 resistors, 120 transistors and 150 capacitors and is required to produce two types of circuits A and B. Type A requires 20 resistors, 10 transistors and 10 capacitors. Type B requires 10 resistors, 20 transistors and 30 capacitors. If the profit on type A circuit is ₹ 50 and that on typeB circuit is ₹ 60, formulate this problem as an LPP, so that the manufacturer can maximise his profit.
Solution:
Let the manufacturer produces x units of type A circuits and y units of type B circuits.
From the given information, we have following corresponding constraint table.

⇒ x + 2y ≤ 12 …(iii)
and 10x + 30y ≤ 150 [capacitor constraint]
⇒ x + 3y ≤ 15 ,..(iv)
and x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0 [non-negative constraint] …(v)
So, maximise Z = 50x + 60y,
Subject to constraints
2x + y ≤ 20, x + 2y ≤ 12, x + 3y ≤ 15 x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0.

Question 37.
A manufacturer has three machine I, II and III installed in his factory. Machines I and II are capable of being operated for at most 12 h, whereas machine III must be operated for atleast 5 h a day. She produces only two items M and N each requiring the use of all the three machines.
The number of hours required for producing 1 unit of each of M and N on the three machines are given in the following table.
She makes a profit of ₹ 600 and ₹ 400 on items M and N, respectively.
Let x and y be the number of items M and N, respectively and assume that she can sell all the items that she produced.

(ii) Find the number of corner points of feasible regions.
(iii) How many units of item M should she produce so as to maximise her profit?
Or

Corner points | Value of Z = 600x + 400y |
(5, 0) | 600 × 5 + 400 × 0 = 3000 |
(6, 0) | 600 × 6 + 400 × 0 = 3600 |
(4, 4) | 600 × 4 + 400 × 4 = 4000 (Maximum) |
(0, 6) | 600 × 0+ 400 × 6 = 2400 |
(0, 4) | 600 × 0 + 400 × 4 = 1600 |
We see that the point (4, 4) is giving the maximum value of Z. Hence, 4 units of item M should be produced to maximise the profit.
Or
