Question 21.
The feasible region of the LPP
Minimise Z =3x + 2y
Subject to constraints are
2x + y ≥ 6, x – y ≥ 0, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0 is given below
Determine the optimal solution. Justify your answer.
Solution:
We have, Minimise Z = 3x + 2y
Subject to constraints are
2x + y ≥ 6, x – y ≥ 0, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0.
The feasible region of the constraints is given below.
Corner point | Value of Z = 3x + 2y |
P(2, 2) | 3 × 2 + 2 × 2 = 6 + 4 = 10 |
Q(3, 0) | 3 × 3 + 2 × 0 = 9 + 0 = 9 |
The smallest value of Z is 9. Since, the feasible region is unbounded, we draw the graph of 3x + 2y < 9. The resulting open half plane has common point with feasible region.
∴ Z = 9 is not the minimum value of Z, Hence, the optimal solution does not exist.
Question 22.

Question 24.
A person invested ₹15000 in a mutual fund and the value of investment at the time of redemption was ₹25000. If CAGR for this investment is 8.88%, calculate the time period for which the amount was invested? [given log(1.667) = 0.2219 and log(1.089) = 0.037]
Solution:
Given, Begining value (BV) = ₹15000
Ending value (EV) = ₹ 25000
Let number of years = n and CAGR = 8.88%
We know that,
n = \(\frac{0.2219}{0.037}\)
n = 5.99 ≈ 6
Hence, time period is 6 yr.
Question 25.
The marginal revenue function for a commodity is given by MR = 9 + 2x – 6x². Find the demand function.
Or
The marginal cost of producing x pairs of tennis shoes is given by MC = 50 + \(\frac{300}{x+1}\) If the fixed cost is ₹ 2000, find the total cost function.
Solution:
We have, MR = 9 + 2x – 6x²
We know that, \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = MR dx
⇒ R = ∫MRdx + k
⇒ R = ∫(9 + 2x – 6x²)dx + k
⇒ R = 9x + x² – 2x³ + k
When, x = 0, R = 0, we get
C = 50x + 300 log(x + 1)+ K ,..(i)
When x = 0, C = 2000, we get
K = 2000
∴ C = 50x + 300 log {x + 1) + 2000 [from Eq. (i)]
Hence, total cost function is
50x+ 300 log (x + 1) + 2000.

Question 26.
A machine produces washers of thickness 0.50 mm. To determine whether the machine is in proper working order, a sample of 10 washers is chosen for which the mean thickness is 0.53 mm and the standard deviation is 0.03 mm. Test the hypothesis at 5% level of significance that the machine is working in proper order.
[given t0.025 = 2.262 at ν = 9]
Solution:
It is given that, µ = Population mean = 0.50 mm
\(\overline{\mathrm{X}}\) = Sample mean = 0.53 mm
n = Sample size = 10
and S = Sample standard deviation = 0.03 mm
We define null hypothesis H0 and alternative hypothesis H1, as follows
H0 : µ = 0.50 mm
H1 : µ ≠ 0.50 mm
Thus, a two-tailed test is applied under hypothesis H 0, we have
Since, the calculated value of t = 3 does not lie in the internal -t0.025 to t0.025 i.e. -2.262 to 2.262 for 10 – 1 = 9 degree of freedom. So, we reject H0 at 0.05 level. Hence, we conclude that machine is not working properly.
Question 27.

Solution:
Question 29.
A machine costing ₹ 50000 is to be replaced at the end of 10 yr, when it will have a salvage value of ₹ 5000. In order to provide money at that time for a machine costing the same amount, a sinking fund is set up. If equal payments are placed in the fund at the end of each quarter and the fund earns 8% compounded quarterly, then what should each payment be? [given (1.02)40 = 2. 208]
Solution:
We have, cost of machine = ₹ 50000
Salvage value of machine = ₹ 5000
Hence, the money required for new machine after 10 yr
= ₹ (50000 – 5000) = ₹ 45000
So, we have S = ₹ 45000, i = \(\frac{8}{400}\) = 0.02
Hence, ₹ 745.03 are set aside each year to purchase new machine.

Question 33.
A company produces TV’s. The probability that any one TV is defective is \(\frac{1}{50}\) and they are packed in 10 big boxes. From a single big box, find the probability that more than 8 TV’s work properly.
Or
A coin is biased so that the head is 3 times as likely to occur as tail. If the coin is tossed twice, then in the probability distribution of number of tails, find the maximum probability term.
Solution:
Let X is the random variable which denotes that a TV is defective.
Or
Let X be the random variable which denotes the number of tails when a biased coin is tossed twice.
So, X may have values 0, 1 or 2.
Since, the coin is biased in which head is 3 times as likely to occur as a tail.
Question 34.
The demand function for a commodity is p = 22 – x- x². Find the consumer’s surplus at equilibrium price p0 = 10.
Solution:
Given, the demand function is
p = 22 – x – x²
At the equilibrium price p0 = 10
We have,
Since, x0 ≠ -4 ⇒ x0 = 3
∴ Consumer’s surplus (CS) at p0 = 10
Hence, consumer’s surplus is 22.5.
Question 35.
A decorative item dealer deals in two items A and B. He has ₹ 15000 to invest and a space to store at the most 80 pieces. Item A costs him ₹ 300 and item B costs him ₹ 150. He can sell items A and B at respective, profits of ₹ 50 and ₹ 28. Assuming, he can sell all he buys, formulate the linear programming problem in order to maximise his profit and solve it graphically.
Or
An aeroplane can carry a maximum of 200 passengers. A profit of ₹ m is made on each executive class ticket and a profit of ₹ n is made on each economy class ticket, where m and n are obtained on multiplying first term and common ratio by 100 of the geometric series 10, 60, 360, … times respectively. The airline reserves atleast 20 seats for executive class. However, atleast 4 times as many passengers prefer to travel by economy class than by the executive class. Determine, how many tickets of each type must be sold in order to maximise the profit for the airline. What is the maximum profit?
Solution:
Let the number of items of the type A and B be x and y, respectively. Then, the required LPP is
Maximise Z = 50x + 28y
Subject to the constraints,
x + y ≤ 80, 300x + 150y ≤ 15000
or 2x + y ≤ 100 and x, y ≥ 0
Let us consider the inequalities as equations, we get
x + y = 80 … (i)
2x+y = 100 …..(ii)
Table for line x + y = 80 is
x | 0 | 80 |
y | 80 | 0 |
So, it passes through the points (0, 80) and (80, 0). On putting (0, 0) in the inequality x + y ≤ 80, we get
0 + 0 ≤ 80
⇒ 0 ≤ 80 (which is true)
So, the half plane is towards the origin.
Table for line 2x + y = 100 is
x | 0 | 50 |
y | 100 | 0 |
So, it passes through the points (0, 100) and (50, 0). On putting (0, 0) in the inequality 2x + y < 100, we get
2 (0) + 0 ≤ 100
⇒ 0 ≤ 100 (which is true)
So, the half plane is towards the origin.
On solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
x = 20 and y = 60
So, the point of intersection is (20, 60).
The feasible region is OBPC whose corner points are 0(0,0), 6(50,0), 6(20,60) and C(0, 80).
Comer points | Value of Z = 50x + 28y |
0(0,0) | 0 |
C (0,80) | 2240 |
P(20, 60) | 2680 (Maximum) |
B (50, 0) | 2500 |
From the above table, the maximum value of Z is 2680 at P(20, 60), i.e. when 20 items of type A and 60 items of type B are purchased and sold. He get maximum profit.
Or
Given geometric series is 10, 60, 360,…
Here, first term (a) = 10 and common ratio
r = \(\frac{60}{10}\) = 6
According to the given condition,
m = a × 100 and n = r × 100
∴ m = 10 × 100 and n = 6 × 100
⇒ m = 1000 and n = 600
Let x passengers travel by executive class and y passengers travel by economy class.
We construct the following table
Class | Number of tickets | Profit (in ₹) |
Executive | x | 1000x |
Economy | y | 600y |
Total | x + y | 1000x + 600y |
So, our problem is to maximise
Z = 1000x + 600y …(i)
Subject to constraints
x + y ≤ 200 …(ii)
x ≥ 20 …(iii)
y – 4x ≥ 0 or y ≥ 4x …(iv)
and x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0 …(v)
Table for line x + y = 200 is
x | 0 | 200 |
y | 200 | 0 |
So, line passes through the points (0, 200) and (200, 0).
On putting (0, 0) in the inequality x + y ≤ 200, we get 0 + 0 ≤ 200
⇒ 0 ≤ 200, which is true.
So, the half plane is towards the origin. Table for line y = 4x is
x | 0 | 20 |
y | 0 | 80 |
So, line passes through the points (0, 0) and (20, 80).
On putting (10, 0) in the inequality y ≥ 4x, we get
0 ≥ 4 × 10
⇒ 0 ≥ 40, which is not true.
So, the half plane is towards Y-axis.
Now, draw the graph of the line x = 20.
On putting (0, 0) in the inequality x ≥ 20, we get 0 ≥ 20, which is not true.
So, the half plane is away from the origin.
Also, x, y ≥ 0, so the region lies in the I quadrant.
On solving Eqs. (ii), (iii) and (iv), we get
A(20, 80), B(40, 160) and C (20, 180).
∴ Feasible region is ABCA.
The corner points of the feasible region are A(20, 80), B (40, 140) and C (20, 180).
The value of Z at the corner points are given below
Comer points | Value of Z = 1000x + 600y |
A (20, 80) | Z = 1000 × 20 + 600 × 80 = 68000 |
B(40, 160) | Z = 1000 × 40+ 600 × 160 = 136000 (Maximum) |
C (20, 180) | Z = 1000 × 20 + 600 × 180 = 128000 |
Thus, the maximum value of Z is 136000 at B(40, 160).
Thus, 40 tickets of executive class and 160 tickets of economy class should be sold to maximise the profit and the maximum profit is ₹ 136000.

(i) Find the part of the tank filled in 2 h.
(ii) Find the part of the tank filled in 6 h.
(iii) Find the part of the tank filled by A and B in one hour.
Or
Find the time taken by all the three pipes to fill the tank.
Solution:
(i) Tap A always remains open and taps 6 and C are opened alternately for 1 h each.
So, after 2 h, tap A has filled the tank for 2 h, S for 1 h and C for 1 h.
∴ Part of the tank filled after 2 h
(\(\frac{2}{12}+\frac{1}{15}+\frac{1}{20}=\frac{17}{60}\))
(ii) So, after 3 rounds of 2 h each the tank will be partially unfilled and in 4th round it overflow.
(\(\frac{1}{4}<\frac{17}{60}<\frac{1}{3}\))
Part of the tank filled in 6 h (2 × 3)h
Hence, the time taken by all the three pipes to fill the tank is (6 + 1) = 7 h
