By definition of equality of matrices as the given matrices are equal, their corresponding elements are equal.
Now, comparing the corresponding elements, we get
2x – y = 10 ,..(i)
and 3x + y = 5 …(ii)
On adding Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
5x = 15 ⇒ x = 3
On substituting x = 3 in Eq. (i), we get
2 × 3 – y = 10 ⇒ y = 6 – 10 = -4
Question 6.
The total revenue (in₹) received from the sale of x units of a product is given by R(x) – 3x² + 6x + 5. The marginal revenue, when x = 5 is

Then, the mean of X is
(a) 3
(b) 1
(c) 4
(d) 2
Solution:
(a) We know that sum of probabilities distribution is 1.
∴ k + 2k + 3k + 4k = 1 ⇒ k = \(\frac{1}{10}\)
Now, mean \(\overline{\mathrm{X}}\) = k × 1 + 2k × 2 + 3k × 3 + 4k × 4
= k + 4k + 9k + 16k = 30k
⇒ \(\overline{\mathrm{X}}\) = 30 × \(\frac{1}{10}\) = 3

(c) outside the interval (1, 2)
(d) outside the interval (2, 3)
Solution:
(c) We have, f(x) = 2x³ – 9x² + 12x – 3
=> P(x) = 6x² – 18x + 12
For increasing function, f (x) ≥ 0
∴ 6(x² – 3x + 2) ≥ 0
⇒ 6(x – 2)(x -1) ≥ 0
⇒ x ≤ 1 and x ≥ 2
∴ f(x) is increasing outside the interval (1, 2).

Question 21.
To what sum will ₹ 5000 accumulate in 6 yr, if invested at an effective rate of 6%? (given (1.06)6 = 1.41851)
Solution:
We know that an effective rate is the actual rate compounded annually, So, the sum S accumulated is the compound amount of the sum f 5000 invested at 6% compounded annually.
We have, P = ₹5000, i = \(\frac{6}{100}\) = 0.06 and n = 6yr
∴ S = P(1 + i)n
⇒ S = 5000(1 + 0.06)6
= 5000(1.06)6
= 5000 × 1.4185 = 7092.55
Hence, required sum = ₹ 7092.55

Solution:
⇒ 2k(k – 2) + 1(k – 2) = 0
⇒ (k – 2) (2k + 1) = 0
⇒ k – 2 = 0 or 2k + 1 = 0
∴ k = 2 or k = –\(\frac{1}{2}\)
Question 31.

Or
Find the maximum profit that a company can make, if the profit function is given by P(x) = 41 + 24x – 18x².
Solution:
Thus, the volume is decreasing at the rate 54π cm³/min.
Or
We have, P(x) = 41 + 24x – 18x²
⇒ P'(x) = 24 – 36x
and P”(x) = – 36 < 0
For maximum or minimum, we must have
P'(x) = 0
⇒ 24 – 36x = 0
⇒ 36x = 24
⇒ x = \(\frac{24}{36}\) = \(\frac{2}{3}\)
Also, P”(x) < 0
So, profit is maximum when x = \(\frac{2}{3}\)
Maximum profit 1 value P(x) at x = \(\frac{2}{3}\)

Solution:
Question 33.
One kind of cake requires 200 g of flour and 25 g of fat and another kind of cake requires 100 g of flour and 50 g of fat. Then, find the maximum number of cakes which can be made from 5 kg of flour and 1kg of fat assuming that there is no shortage of the other ingredients used in making the cakes.
Solution:
Let x be the number of cakes of one kind and y be the number of cakes of other kind. Construct the following table.
Our problem is to maximise Z = x + y
Subject to constraints are
200x+ 100y ≤ 5000
⇔ 2x + y ≤ 50
25x + 50y ≤ 1000 ⇔ x + 2y ≤ 40
and x, y ≥ 0
Firstly, draw the graph of the line 2x + y = 50
x | 0 | 25 |
y | 50 | 0 |
On putting (0, 0) in the inequality 2x + y ≤ 50, we get
2 × 0 + 0 ≤ 50 ⇒ 0 ≤ 50 (which is true)
So, the half plane is towards the origin.
Secondly, draw the graph of the line x + 2y = 40
On putting (0, 0) in the inequality x + 2y ≤ 40, we get
0 + 2 × 0 ≤ 40
⇒ 0 ≤ 40 (which is true)
So, the half plane is towards the origin.
Since, x, y ≥ 0
So, the feasible region lies in the first quadrant.
On solving equations 2x + y = 50 and x + 2y = 40, we get
B(20, 10)
∴ Feasible region is OABCO.
The corner points of the feasible region are
O(0, 0), A(25, 0), B(20, 10) and C(0, 20).
The values of Z at these points are as follows
Comer points | Value of Z = x + y |
0(0, 0) | 0 |
A(25, 0) | 25 |
B(20, 10) | 30 (Maximum) |
C(0, 20) | 20 |
Thus, the maximum number of cakes that can be made is 30 i.e. 20 of one kind and 10 of the other kind.
Question 34.
A piece of machinery costing ₹ 100000 is expected to have a useful life of 5 yr and, scrap value ₹ 20000. Using the straight line method, find the annual depreciation and construct a schedule for depreciation. Also, find the depreciation rate percent.
Solution:
We have, C = Original value = ₹ 100000
S = Scrap value = ₹ 20000
n = Useful life in years = 5yr
The annual depreciation D is given by
At the begining of the first year, the book value of the machine is ₹ 100000. At the end of the first year, the accumulated depreciation is ₹ 16000. Hence, the depreciation charge for the first year is ₹ 16000.
The book value at the end of the first year or in the begining of the second year is ₹ (100000 – 16000)
= ₹84000
At the end of second year, we have
Accumulated depreciation = ₹32000
∴ Depreciation charge = ₹(32000 – 16000) = ₹16000
⇒ Book value at the end of second year
= ₹(84000 – 16000) = ₹ 68000
At the end of third year, we have
Accumulated depreciation = ₹ 48000
∴ Depreciation charge = ₹ 16000
⇒ Book value at the end of third year
= ₹(68000 – 16000)
= ₹52000
Similarly, at the end of fourth and fifth year.
Book values are ₹ 36000 and ₹ 20000 respectively.
Clearly, ₹ 20000 is the scrap value of the machine. These values can be represented in the following tabular form which is known as the depreciation schedule of the machine.
We find that,
Annual depreciation amount = ₹ 16000
Original cost of machine – Scrap value of machine = ₹(100000 – 20000) = ₹ 80000
∴ Depreciation rate per cent
= (\(\frac{16000}{80000}\) × 100)% = 20%
Question 35.
The random variable X can be take only the values 0, 1, 2, 3. Given that
P(X = 0) = P(X = 1) = p
and P(X = 2) = P(X = 3)

Or
For 6 trials of an experiment, let X be a binomial variate which satisfies the relation 9P(X = 4) = P(X = 2). Find the probability of success.
Solution:
Given, X = 0, 1, 2, 3 and
P(X = 0) = P(X = 1) = p, P(X – 2) = P(X = 3)
The probability distribution of X is given by
Or
Let p = Probability of success, q = Probability of failure and X be a random variable that denote the number of success in 6 trials.
As, X follows binomial distribution with parameters, n = 6, p and q.
∴ p = \(\frac{-1}{2}\) or p = \(\frac{1}{4}\)
Thus, p = \(\frac{1}{4}\) [∵ probability cannot be negative]

Question 37.
Consumer surplus and producer surplus.
The above graph showing the demand and supply curves of a tyre manufacturer company are linear.
‘ABC’ tyre manufacturer sold 25 units every month when the price of a tyre was ₹ 20000 per units and ‘ABC’ tyre fnanufacturer sold 125 units every month when, the prize dropped to ₹ 15000 per unit. When, the price was ₹ 25000 per unit, 180 tyre were, available per month for sale and, when the price was only ₹ 15000 per unit, 80 tyres remained.
On the basis of the above information solve the following questions.
(i) Find the demand function D(x)
(ii) Find the supply function S(v).
(iii) ‘Find the consumer surplus C(s)
Or
Find the producer surplus P(s).
Solution:
(i) Let us consider demand function be
D(x) = ax + b …(i)
When x = 25, then p = 20000
From Eq. (i), we have
20000= 25a + b …(ii)
and when x = 125, then p = 15000
From Eq. (i), we have
15000 = 125a + b …(iii)
On solving Eqs. (ii) and (iii), we get
a = -50 and b = 21250
∴ Demand function D(x) = – 50x + 21250
(ii) Let us consider supply function be
S(x) = cx + b …(i)
When x = 180, then p = 25000
From Eq. (i), we have
25000 = 180c +d …(ii)
and when x = 80, then p = 15000
From Eq. (i), we have
15000 = 80c +d …(iii)
On solving Eqs. (ii) and (iii), we get
c = 100 and d = 7000
∴ Supply function S (x) = 100x + 7000
(iii) For equilibrium point D(x) = S(x)
⇒ 50x0 + 21250 = 100x0 + 7000
⇒ 150x0 = -14250
⇒ x0 = 95
On putting value of x0 in demand function dr supply function, we get
Question 38.
Suppose A and B are two participants in a race. “A gives B a start of x m” means A starts the race from the starting points whereas B starts the race x m ahead of A i.e. to cover a distance of 100 m. A will cover 100 m while B will cover (100 – x) m.
“A beats B by x m’ means when A reached the finish point. B behind by A by x m i.e. in a 100 m race. A has covered 100 m while B has covered only by (100 – x) m.
On the basis of the above information solve the following questions.
In a 100 m race. A car give a start of 10 m to B and C starts of 28 m to A. In the same race how much start can B give to C.
Or
In a 10 km race, A, B and C each running at uniform speed get the gold, silver and bronze metals respectively. If A beats B by 1 km and B beats C by 1 km. Then, find how many meters does A beat C?
Solution:
In the same time. A covers 100 m,
B covers (100 -10) m = 90 m
and C covers (100 – 28) = 72 m
If the race is between B and C only
When B covers 90 m, then C covers = 72 m
When B cover 1 m, then C covers = \(\frac{72}{80}\) m
When B covers 100 m, then C covers = \(\frac{72}{80}\) × 100 = 80 m
Hence, B can give a starts of 20 m to C.
Or
A beats B by 1 km means in the same time A travels 10 km and B travels 9 km.
∴ Speed of A : speed of B = 10 : 9= 100 :90
Similarly, B beats C by 1 km
Means, speed of B : speed of C = 10 : 9 = 90 : 81
∴ Speed of A: speed of B: speed of C = 100 : 90 : 81
It means in sometime, A travels 100 m, C travels 81 m = A travel 10000 m then C travels 8100 m
⇒ A beats C by 1900 m.
