(a) (-∞, 1]
(b) (0, 1]
(c) (0, 1] ∪ [1, ∞)
(d) [1, ∞)
Solution:
(b) The given inequality 6 ≤ – 3(2x – 4) < 12
⇒ 6 ≤ -6x + 12<12
Adding (- 12) to each term,
6 – 12 ≤ -6x + 12 – 12 < 12 – 12
⇒ -6 ≤ – 6x < 0
Dividing by (-6) to each term,
∴ Solution set is (0, 1]

The function f(x) = x³ is
(a) decreasing on R
(b) increasing on R
(c) Both (a) and (b)
(d) None of these
Solution:
(b) We have, f(x) = x³
⇒ f'(x) = 3x²
Since 3x² > 0 ∀ x ∈ R
∴ f'(x) > 0
So, f(x) is increasing on R.
Question 3.
(a) scalar matrix
(b) diagonal matrix
(c) identity matrix
(d) None of these
Solution:
In a square matrix, if aij = 0 for i ≠ j, then the matrix is said to be a diagonal matrix.
Hence, the given matrix A is a diagonal matrix.

(c) the mid-point of the line segment joining the points (0, 2) and (3, 0)
(d) any point on the line segment joining the points (0, 2) and (3, 0)
Solution:
Corner points | Value 0f F = 4x + 6y |
(0, 2) | 4 × 0 + 6 × 2 = 12 (Minimum) |
(3, 0) | 4 × 3 + 6 × 0 = 12 (Minimum) |
(6, 0) | 4 × 6 + 6 × 0 = 24 |
(6, 8) | 4 × 6 + 6 × 8 = 72 (Maximum) |
(0, 5) | 4 × 0 + 6 × 5 = 30 |
Hence, minimum value of F occurs at any points on the line segment joining the points (0, 2) and (3, 0).

Part of tank filled by pipe 8 In 1 min = \(\frac{1}{12}\)
Let pipe C can empty the tank in ‘a’ min.
Then, part of tank emptied by pipe C in 1 min = \(\frac{1}{a}\)
According to the question,
Hence, pipe C will empty the tank in 30 min. Rate of flow of pipe C = 2 LVmin
∴ Capacity of tank = (30 × 2)L = 60 L
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.

Reason (R) (a . b)(mod n) = a(mod n) . b(mod n)
Solution:
(d) Reason We know that,
(a . b) (mod n) = a (mod n) . b (mod n)
Assertion (186 × 93) (mod 7)
= (186) (mod 7) × (93) (mod 7)
= 4 (mod 7) × 2 (mod 7)
= 4 × 2 (mod7)
= 8mod7 31 mod 7
∴ (186 × 93) mod 7 = 1
Hence, Assertion is false but Reason is true.

Question 21.
The population of a town grows at the rate of 10% per year. Using differential equation, find how long it will take for the population to grows 3 times.
Or
The marginal cost of producing x pairs of tennis shoes is given by MC = 60 + \(\frac{400}{x+1}\). If the fixed cost is ₹ 3000, find the total cost function.
Solution:
Let P0 be the population initially and P be the population after t yr,
C = 60x + 400log|(x +1)| + K …(i)
If x = 0, C = ₹3000
∴ 3000 = 0 + 400 log (1) + K
⇒ K = 3000
∴ C = 60x + 400 log |(x + 1)| + 3000 [from Eq. (i)]
Question 22.

Solution:
Given, R = ₹900
Hence, the required sum is ₹ 29600.
Question 23.
The corner points of the feasible region determined by the following systems of linear inequalities
2x + y ≤ 10, x + 3y ≤ 15, x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0 are (-0, 0), (5, 0), (3, 4) and (0, 5).
Let Z = px + qy, when p, q > 0, then find the relation between p and q, so that the maximum of Z occurs at both points (3, 4) and (0, 5).
Solution:
The values of Z = px + qy at the points (3, 4) and (0, 5) are 3p + 4q and 5q, respectively.
As, Z has maximum value of both points (3, 4) and (0, 5), we get
3p + 4g = 5 q
⇒ 3p = q
or 3p – q = 0
which is the required relation between p and q.

Question 29.
Calculate the quarterly trend values by method of least square for quarterly data for last 5 yr given below.
Or
Apply the method of least squares to obtain the trend values from the following data.
Year | Sales (in lakh tonne) |
2006 | 100 |
2007 | 120 |
2008 | 110 |
2009 | 140 |
2010 | 80 |
Also, predict the sales for the year 2007.
Solution:
Here, n = 5 (odd)
So, middle year i.e, 1966 is taken as origin, we will fit linear trend equation between average quarterly values (y) anc! time variable x (in year).
∴ Linear trend equation is y, = 112 + 23x
From Eqs. (I) and (ii), yearly increment in trend value
b = 23
Quarterly increment = \(\frac{23}{4}\) = 5.75
Or
Here, n = 5 (odd)
So, middle year i.e. 2008 is taken as origin.
The required equation is,
yt = 110 – 2x
For x = -2, yt = 110 -2(-2) = 114
Thus, for 2007 the trend value will be 114 – 2 = 112.
Question 30.
If Mr Nirav deposits ₹250 at the beginning interest of 6% per annum compounded monthly, how many months will be required for the deposit to amount to at least ₹6390?
[given log(1.127) = 0.5190 and log (1.005) = 0.021]
Solution:
Let Mr Nirav deposit amount per month is a = ₹250
The total amount of annuity is (M) = ₹6390
Rate of interest, r = 6% = \(\frac{6}{600}\) per annum
Let the number of months be n.
We know that,
Taking log on both sides of Eq. (i), we get
∴ Number of months required = 24 months

Question 32.
A propeller costs ₹ 180000 and its effective life is estimated to be 10 yr. A sinking fund is created for replacing the propeller by a new model at the end of its lifetime, when its scrap realises a sum of ₹ 34000 only. The price of the new model is estimated to be 30% more than the price of the present one. What amount should be put into the sinking fund at the end of each year, if it accumulates at 4% per annum compound interest? [given, (1.04)10 = 1.480]
Solution:
According to the question,
The present value of the machine is ₹ 180000.
Since, the price of new model is 30% more than the price of present machine.
∴ Price of new model = \(\frac{130}{100}\) × 180000 = ₹234000
Scrap value of the present machine is ₹ 34000.
The net amount (A) to be paid after 10 yr for new model = 234000 – 34000
= ₹ 200000
Let the value of each sinking fund is a.
The rate of interest for 10 yr is
Hence, the value of each sinking fund is ₹ 16666.67 to be paid at the end of each year.
Question 33.
Determine the product of
solve the system of equations
x – y + z = 4, x – 2y – 2z = 9 and 2x + y + 3z = 1.

Question 34.
There are two types of fertilisers F1 and F2, F1 consists of 10% nitrogen and 6% phosphoric acid and F2 consists of 5% nitrogen and 10% phosphoric acid. After testing the soil conditions, a farmer finds that she needs atleast 14 kg of nitrogen and 14 kg of phosphoric acid for her crop. If F1 costs ₹ 6 per kg and F2 costs ₹ 5 per kg. Determine how much of each type of fertiliser should be used so that nutrient requirements are met at a minimum cost? What is the minimum cost?
Or
Two godowns A and B have a grain storage capacity of 100 quintals and 50 quintals, respectively. They supply it to 3 ration shops D, E and F, whose requirements are 60, 50 and 40 quintals, respectively. The cost of transportation per quintal from godowns to the shops are given in the following table
How should the supplies be transported in order that the transportation cost is minimum?
Solution:
Suppose, the farmer uses x kg of F1, and y kg of F2.
We have to construct the following table
Total cost of fertilisers,
Z = 6x + 5y
So, our problem is to minimise Z = 6x + 5y
Subject to constraints are
On putting (0, 0) in the inequality
2x + y ≥ 280, we get
2 × 0 + 0 ≥ 280
⇒ 0 ≥ 280, which is not true.
So, the half plane is away from the origin.
Table for line 3x + 5y = 700 is
x | 0 | 700/3 |
y | 140 | 0 |
So, line passes through the points (0, 140) and (\(\frac{700}{3}\), 0)
On putting (0, 0) in the inequality
3x + 5y ≥ 700, we get
3 × 0 + 5x 0 ≥ 700
⇒ 0 ≥ 700, 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 the equations
2x + y = 280 and 3x + 5y = 700, we get B(100, 80).
It can be seen that the feasible region is unbounded.
The corner points of the feasible region are
A(\(\frac{700}{3}\), 0) B(100, 80) and C(0, 280).
The values of Z at the corner points are given below
As, the feasible region is unbounded, therefore 1000 may or may not be the minimum value of Z. For this, we draw a graph of the inequality 6x + 5y < 1000 and check whether the resulting half plane has points in common with the feasible region or not.
It can be seen that the feasible region has no common point with 6x + 5y < 1000. Therefore, 100 kg of fertiliser F1, and 80 kg of fertiliser F2 should be used to minimise the cost and the minimum cost is ₹1000.
Or
Let godown A supplies x and y quintals of grain to the shops D and E, respectively.
Then, (100 – x – y) will be supplied to shop F.
The requirement at shop D is 60 quintals, since x quintals are transported from godown A.
Therefore, the remaining (60 – x) quintals are transported from godown B Similarly,
(50 – y) quintals and 40 – (100 – x – y) = (x + y – 60) quintals will be transported from godown B to shops E and F, respectively. The given problem can be represented diagrammatically as follows
Let Z be the total cost of transportation, then
Z = 6x + 3y + 2.50(100 – x – y) + 4(60 – x) + 2(50 – y) + 3[(x + y) – 60]
= 6x + 3y + 250 – 2.50x – 2.50y + 240 – 4x + 100 – 2y + 3x + 3y – 180
= 2.50 x + 1.50y+410 …(i)
Subject to constraints,
60 – x ≥ 0
or x ≤ 60 …(ii)
50 – y ≥ 0
or y ≤ 50 …(iii)
100 – (x + y) ≥ 0
or x + y ≤ 100 …..(iv)
x + y – 60 ≥ 0
or x + y ≥ 60 …(v)
and x, y ≥ 0 …(vi)
Table for line x + y = 100 is
x | 100 | 0 |
y | 0 | 100 |
So, line passes through the points (100, 0) and (0, 100).
On putting (0, 0) in the inequality x + y ≤ 100, we get
0 + 0 ≤ 100
⇒ 0 ≤ 100, which is true.
So, the half plane is towards the origin.
Table for line x + y = 60 is
x | 0 | 60 |
y | 60 | 0 |
So, line passes through the points (0, 60) and (60, 0).
On putting (0, 0) in the inequality x + y ≥ 60, we get 0 + 0 ≥ 60
⇒ 0 ≥ 60, which is not true.
So, the half plane is away from the origin.
Now, draw the graph of lines x = 60 and y = 50, which is perpendicular to X and Y-axes, respectively.
Clearly, the half planes x ≤ 60 and y ≤ 50 is towards Y and X-axes, respectively.
Also, x, y ≥ 0, so the region lies in the I quadrant.
The points of intersection of lines corresponding to Eqs. (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) are
A(60, 0), B(60, 40), C(50, 50) and D(10, 50).
The graphical representation of these lines is given below
The shaded region in the graph represents the feasible region and its corner points are A (60, 0), e (60, 40), C (50, 50) and D (10, 50).
The values of Z at the corner points are given below
Corner points | Value of Z = 2.5x + 1.5y + 410 |
A(60, 0) | Z = 2.5(60) + 1.5(0) + 410 = 560 |
B(60, 40) | Z = 2.5(60) + 1.5(40) + 410 = 620 |
C(50, 50) | Z = 2.5(50) + 1.5(50) + 410 = 610 |
D(10, 50) | Z = 2.5(10) +1.5 (50) + 410 = 510(Minimum) |
The minimum value of Z is 510 at D (10, 50).
Thus, the amount of grain transported from A to D, E and F is 10 quintals, 50 quintals and 40 quintals, respectively and from B to D, E and F is 50 quintals, 0r quintal and 0 quintal, respectively.
The minimum cost is ₹ 510.

Hence, after 10 yr, the amount will worth ₹ 1648.
Or

⇒ k = \(\frac{0.8}{8}\) = 0.1
(ii) P(average study time is exactly 2 h)
= P(X = 2) = 2k = 2(0.1) = 02
(iii) P (average study time is at least 3 h)
= P(X ≥ 3) = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)
= 0.3 + 0.2 = 0.5
Or
P(average study time is at least 1 h)
P(X ≥ 1) = 1 – P(X = 0)
= 1 – 0.2 = 0.8
Question 38.
Suppose, C represents the total cost function.
Then, the marginal cost function is given by
MC = \(\frac{dC}{dx}\)
⇒ dC = MC dx
⇒ ∫dC = ∫MC dx + C
⇒ C = ∫MC dx + k
where k is a constant of integration if we divided the cost function by x, we get the average cost function i.e. AC = \(\frac{C}{x}\)
The marginal cost function of manufacturing x units of a commodity is 6 + 10x – 6x². The total cost of producing one unit of the commodity is ₹ 12. Find the total cost function and average cost function.
Or
The marginal cost function MC for a product is given by MC = \(\frac{5}{\sqrt{2x+9}}\) and fixed cost is ₹ 20 find the average cost for 8 units of outputs.
Solution”
Given, marginal cost = 6 + 10x – 6x²
C = ∫MC dx + k
⇒ C = ∫(6 + 10x – 6x²)dx + k
⇒ C = 6x + 5x² – 2x³ + k ,..(i)
It is given that x = 1, C = 12
12 = 6+ 5-2 + k
⇒ k = 3
On putting k = 3 in Eq. (i), we get
C = 6x + 5x² – 2x³ + 3
Hence, total cost function is
C = 6x + 5x² – 2x³ + 3
