Solution:
(d) We have, f(x) = x4 – 2x²
⇒ f'(x) = 4x³ – 4x
= 4x(x² – 1)
For f(x) to be increasing, we must have
f'(x) > 0
⇒ 4x(x² – 1) > 0
⇒ x(x² – 1) > 0
⇒ x(x – 1) (x + 1) > 0
⇒ -1 < x < 0 or x > 1

Question 22.
The marginal cost function of manufacturing x units of a commodity is 6 + 10x – 6x². The total cost of producing one unit of commodity is ₹ 12. Find the total cost function.
Solution:
We have, MC = 6 + 10x – 6x²
∴ \(\frac{dC}{dx}\) = MC
⇒ dC = MC dx
On integrating both sides, we get
∫dC = ∫(6 + 10x – 6x²)dx
C = 6x + 5x² -2x³ + K …(i)
It is given that the cost of producing one unit of the commodity is ₹ 12,
i.e. x = 1 and C = 12
On putting x = 1 and C = 12 in Eq. (i), we get
12 = 6 + 5 – 2 + K
K = 3
On substituting the value of K in Eq. (i), we get
C = 6x + 5x² – 2x³ + 3
Question 23.

Number of year = 5
Question 25.
A man can row upstream at 8 km/h and downstream at 13 km/h. Find the speed of the stream.
Or
Find the quantity of water must be added to 30L of milk at ₹ 60 per litre, so as to have mixture worth ₹ 50 per litre.
Solution:
Given, downstream speed = 13 km/h
and upstream speed = 8 km/h
∴ Speed of stream
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) (Downstream speed – Upstream speed)
= \(\frac{1}{2}\)(13 – 8) = \(\frac{5}{2}\)
= 2.5 km/h
Or
Let the quantity of water added = xL
Pure milk = 30 L
Cost of 30 L of milk = ₹ (30 × 60)
= ₹ 1800
Cost of (30 + x) L of mixtures = (30 + x) × 50
∴ 1800 = (30 + x) 50
⇒ 1800 = 1500 + 50x
⇒ 50x = 300 ⇒ x = 6 L
Section C
All questions are compulsory. In case of internal choice, attempt any one questions only
Question 26.
Find the maximum profit that a company can make, if the profit function is given by
P(x) = 41 + 24x – 18x², is
Solution:
We have, P (x) = 41 + 24x – 18x²
Question 27.
Solution:
On comparing both the matrices, we get
y + 1 = 0
⇒ y = -1
3(x – 1) = 0 .
⇒ x = 1
Now, x + y = 1 + (-1) = 0
Question 28.
Determine the maximum value of Z = 11x + 7y, subject to the constraints are
2x + y ≤ 6, x ≤ 2 and x, y ≥ 0.
Solution:
We have,
Maximise Z = 11x + 7y …(i)
Subject to the constraints,
2x + y ≤ 6 …(ii)
x ≤ 2 …(iii)
and x, y ≥ 0 …(iv)
We see that, the feasible region as shaded determined by the system of constraints (ii) to (iv) is OABC and is bounded.
So, now we shall use corner point method to determine the maximum value of Z.
Comer points | Value of Z = 11x + 7y |
O(0, 0) | Z = 11(0) + 7(0) = 0 |
A(2, 0) | Z = 11(2) + 7(0) = 22 |
B(2, 2) | Z = 11(2) + 7(4) = 36 |
C(0, 6) | Z = 11(0) + 7(6) = 42 (Maximum) |
Hence, the maximum value of Z is 42 at C(0, 6).
Question 29.
Two batches of the same product are tested for their mean life. Assuming that, the lives of the product follow a normal distribution with an unknown variance, test the hypothesis that the mean life is the same for both the branches, given the following information.
Or
The Educational Testing Service conducted a study to investigate difference between the score of male and female students on the Scholastic Aptitude Test. The study identified a random sample of 562 female and 852 male students, who had achieved the same high score on the mathematics portion of the test. That is, female and male students were viewed as having similarly high abilities in mathematics.
The verbal scores for the two samples are as given
Female students, \(\overline{\mathrm{x_1}}\) = 557 and s1 = 83
Male students, \(\overline{\mathrm{x_2}}\) = 545 and s2 = 78
Do the data support the conclusion that given a population of female students and a population of male students with similarly high mathematics abilities, the female students will have a significantly higher verbal ability? Test at a 5% level of significance. What is your conclusion?
Solution:
Given, n1 =10, n2 = 8, \(\overline{\mathrm{x_1}}\) = 750, \(\overline{\mathrm{x_2}}\) = 820, s1 = ₹12 and s2 = ₹14
Consider, Null hypothesis H0 : Mean life is same for both the batches.
Alternate hypothesis H1 : Two batches have different mean lives.
Test statistics,
Since, calculated value |t| = 10.763 > tabulated value t16(0.05) = 2.120
So, rejected the null hypothesis at 5% level of significance.
Hence, the mean life for both the batches is not the same.
Or
We have, \(\overline{\mathrm{x_1}}\) = 557, \(\overline{\mathrm{x_2}}\) = 545 s1 = 83, s2= 78
n1 = 562 and n2 = 852
Consider, the null hypothesis be that there is no significant difference between male and female verbal ability,
H0 : µ1 – µ2 > 0 and H1 : µ1– µ2 < 0
Here, the computed value of Z is greater than the table value of Z i.e. 1.96.
So, reject the null hypothesis. Hence, there is a significant difference between the male and female verbal ability or female students have higher verbal ability.

Solution:
Given, A = ₹ 500000, r = 5%
⇒ i = 0.05 and n = 10
Hence, the company should deposit ₹ 39745.63 every year into the sinking fund.
Section D
All questions are compulsory. In case of internal choice, attempt any one questions only
Question 32.

Question 35.
An aeroplane can carry a maximum of 200 passengers. A profit of ₹ 1000 is made on each executive class ticket and a profit of ₹ 600 is made on each economy class ticket. 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 x passengers travel by executive class and y passengers travel by economy class.
We construct the following table
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, 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, 160) 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 6(40, 160).

Question 36.
A cistern has three pipes A, B and C. Pipes A and B can fill it in 5 h and 10 h respectively, while pipe C can empty the cistern in 30 h.
Based on the above information, answer the following questions.
(i) If the pipes A and B are opened, then find the time taken to fill the cistem.
(ii) If all the pipes are opened, then find the time taken to fill the cistern.
(iii) If the pipes A and B are opened alternatively and pipe C is opened all the time, then find the time taken to fill the cistern.
Or
If the tap A is opened partially in such a way that its efficiency of filling the cistern becomes half, then find the time taken by all the three taps to fill the tank.
Solution:
Hence, time taken to fill the tank is 6 h.
Question 37.
The cost of AC depreciates by ₹ 722 during the third year and by ₹ 685.90 during the fourth year.
Based on above information, answer the following questions.
(i) Find the rate of depreciation per annum.
(ii) Find the original cost of AC.
(iii) Find the total depreciation in its value at the end of 4 yr.
Or
Find the scrap value of AC of the estimated useful life is 15 yr.
(given, (0.95)15 = 0.4633)
Solution:
Let the original cost of AC = ₹P
and rate of depreciation = r%
The value of machine after n yr = P(1 – i)n,
where i = –\(\frac{r}{100}\).
(i) The cost of AC depreciate by ₹ 722 during third years
∴ P(1 – i)² – P(1 – i)³ = 722 …(i)
The cost of AC depreciate by ₹ 685.90 during fourth years.
∴ P(1 – i)³ – P( 1 – i)4 = 685,90 ….(ii)
Or
P( 1 – i)²i = 722 …(iii)
P(1 – i)³i = 685.90 … (iv)
From Eqs, (iii) and (iv), we get
1 – i = \(\frac{685.90}{722}\) = 0.95
⇒ i = 1 – 0.95 = 0.05
r = i × 100 = (0.05 × 100)% = 5%
∴ Original cost of AC is ₹ 16000.
(iii) Original cost of AC = ₹ 16000
Scrap value of AC at the end of fourth year
= ₹ 13032
Total depreciation value in 4 yr
= ₹ (16000 – 13032) = ₹ 2968
Or
Original cost of AC, P = ₹ 16000
Rate of depreciation, r = 5%
Number of years, n = 15
∴ Scrap value in 15 yr = P(1 – r)15
= 16000(1-0.05)15 [i]
= 16000(0.95)15
= 16000(0.4633)
= 7412.80
= ₹ 7413
Hence, scrap value of AC estimated useful life in 15 yr is ₹ 7413.
Question 38.
Consider the following data.
and by using method of least square, answer the following questions.
Find the sum of the trend value for year 2009 and 2006.
Or
The difference of trend value for the year 2010 and 2005.
Solution:
Here, n = 7 odd
The equation of the trend line
yt = 138.86 + 7.64x
Slope of trend line, b = 7.64
For year 2006, x = -1
∴ yt = 138.86 + 7.64 × (-1)
= 138.86 – 7.64 = 13122
For year 2009, x = 2
yt = 138.86 + 7.64 × 2
= 138.86 + 15.28 = 154.14
∴ Sum of the trend value for year 2009 and 2006
= 154.14+ 131.22 =285.36
For year 2010, x = 3
∴ yt = 138.86 + 7.64 × 3
= 138.86 + 22.92 = 161.78
For year 2005, x = -2
∴ yt = 138.86 + 7.64 × (-2)
= 138.86 – 15.28 = 123.58
∴ Difference of the trend value for the year 2010 and 2005 = 161.78 – 123.58 = 38.20
