Question 1.
The solution set of the inequality 37 – (3x + 5) ≥ 9x – 8(x – 3) is
(a) (-∞, 2)
(b) (-∞, -2)
(c) (-∞, 2]
(d) (-∞, -2]
Solution:
(c) We have,
37 – (3x + 5) ≥ 9x – 8 (x – 3)
⇒ (37 – 3x – 5) ≥ 9x – 8x + 24
⇒ 32 — 3x ≥ x + 24
Transferring the term 24 to LHS and the term (-3x) to RHS,
32 – 24 ≥ x + 3x
⇒ 8 ≥ 4x ⇒ 4x < 8
Dividing both sides by 4, we get
∴ Solution set is (-∞, 2]
Question 2.
In a 600 m race, A can give a start of 6 m to B and A start of 14 m to C. In the same race B give the start to C
(a) 8.09 m
(b) 9 m
(c) 9.08 m
(d) 7.08 m
Solution:
(a) In the same time A covers 600 m.
B covers (600 – 6) = 594
and C covers (600 -14) = 586
B runs 594 than C runs 586
If B runs 1 unit of distance than C runs = \(\frac{586}{594}\)
and in 600 m = \(\frac{586}{594}\) × 600 = 591.91
B give C a start of (600 – 591.91) = 8.09 m.
Question 3.
If A and B are square matrices of the same order and BA = 5I, then B-1 is equal to
(a) 5A
(b) \(\frac{1}{5}\)A

Solution:
Question 4.
If, A is a non singular matrix of order 3 and |A| = -8, then the value of |adj A| is
(a) -8
(b) 64
(c) -64
(d) 24
Solution:
(b) We know that, |adj A| = | A|n-1, where n is the order of the matrix.
Since, we have matrix A of order 3
|adj A| = |A|3-1 = |A|² = (-8)² = 64
Question 5.
Solution:
Question 6.

(c) \(\frac{1}{10}\)
(d) \(\frac{1}{5}\)
Solution:
Question 7.
The income of a group of 10000 persons was found to be normally distributed with mean ₹ 1750 per month and standard deviation ₹ 50. The percentage of persons having income exceeding ₹ 1668 is
(a) 90%
(b) 92%
(c) 89%
(d) 95%
Solution:
(d) Let X denotes the income of a person
P(X >1668) = 1-P(X <1668)
= 1 – P(Z ≤ \(\frac{1668-1750}{50}\))
= 1 – P(Z < – 1.64)
= 1 – F(-1.64)
= 1 – 0.0505 = 0.9495
Hence, the number of persons having income more than 1668 is 0.9495 × 100
= 94.95% ≈ 95%

(b) (-1, ∞)
(c) (-1, 1)
(d) R
Solution:
(b) We have, f(x) = x² + 2x – 5
⇒ f'(x) = 2x + 2
For increasing, f'(x) > 0
⇒ 2x + 2 > 0
⇒ x > -1
⇒ x ∈ (-1, ∞)

Solution:
Given, cost of cheaper rice = ₹ 60 per kg.
Cost of deorer rice = ₹ 80 per kg.
Quantity of cheaper = Quality of deaser 2 : 3

The feasible region (shaded) for a LPP is shown in the following figure
Find the maximum value of Z = 3x + 4y
Solution:
As clear from the graph corner points are O, A, E, D with coordinates (0, 0), (52, 0), (44, 16) and (0, 38).
Corner points | Value of Z =3x + 4y |
O(0, 0) | 0 |
A(52, 0) | 156 |
E(44, 16) | 196 (Maximum) |
D( 0, 38) | 152 |
Hence, the maximum value of Z is 196 at E (44, 16).
Question 29.
A manufacturer’s marginal cost is \(\frac{600}{\sqrt{5x+36}}\). Find the cost involved to increase production from 150 units to 450 units.
Or
The marginal revenue function of a commodity is given MR = 12 – 3x² +4x. Find the total revenue from the sale of 4 units.
Solution:
Or
We have, MR = 12 – 3x² + 4x
∵ ∫dR = ∫MRdx [∵ MR = \(\frac{dR}dx}\)]
⇒ R = ∫(12 – 3x² + 4x)dx
= 12x – x³ + 2x² + K
We know that when x = 0, then R = 0
∵ K = 0
R = 12x – x³ + 2x² [from Eq. (i)]
Now, the total revenue from the sale of 4 units is given by put x = 4
R = 48 – 64 + 32 = 16
Question 30.
There are three bottles of mixture of syrup and water in ratios 2 : 3, 3 : 4 and 7 : 5. 10L and 21 L mixture are taken out from first and second bottles, respectively. How much quantity from third bottle is to be taken so that final mixture from three bottles may contain syrup and water in the ratio of 1 : 1 ?
Solution:
Hence, the mixture taken out from third bottle is 30 L.
Question 31.

Calculate 4-yearly centred moving averages.
Solution:
∴ 5-yearly moving averages are 2.4, 2.8, 3.6 and 3.8
∴ 4-yearly centred moving averages are 5.375, 5.125 and 4.875.
Section D
All questions are compulsory. In case of internal choice, attempt any one questions only
Question 32.
A machine costs a company ₹ 52000 and its effective life is estimated to be 25 yr. A sinking fund is created for replacing the machine by a new model at the end of its life time, when its scrap realizes a sum of ₹ 2500 only. The price of the new model is estimated to be 25% more than the price of present one. Find what amount should be set aside at the end of each year out of the profit for the sinking fund, if it accumulates at 3.5% compound annually? [given (1.035)25 = 2.3632]
Solution:
Let ₹ R be the amount set aside each year.
Since, the cost of new machine is 25% more than the cost of present.
Cost of machine = ₹ 52000
Cost of new machine after increasing the 25% of the
cost of machine,
i.e. 52000 + 25% of 52000
= 50000(1 + \(\frac{25}{100}\)) = 52000 × \(\frac{5}{4}\) = ₹ 65000
Scrap value of the present machine = ₹ 2500
So, net amount required at the end of 25 yr to purchase the new model = ₹ (65000 – 2500)
= ₹ 62500
Thus, ₹ 1604.68 are set aside each year out of the pipfit to purchase the new model of the machine.
Question 33.
Solve the system of equations 2x – y + 3z -9, x + y + z = 6 and x-y + z -2.
Solution:
Given, system of equations is
2x – y + 3z = 9,
x + y + z = 6
and x – y + z = 2
Question 34.
There are 4 cards numbered 1, 3, 5 and 7, one number on one card. Two cards are drawn at random without replacement. Let X denote the sum of the numbers on the two drawn cards. Find the mean and variance of X.
Or
The random variable X can take only the values 0, 1, 2. Given that,
P(X = 0) = P(X = 1) = p and that
E(X²) = E[X] then find value of p.
Solution:
Here, S = {(1, 3), (1, 5), (1,7), (3, 1), (3, 5), (3, 7), (5, 1), (5, 3), (5, 7), (7, 1), (7, 3), (7, 5)}
∴ n(S) = 12
Let random variable X denotes the sum of the numbers on two cards drawn. So, the random variables X may have values 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12.
Therefore, the required probability distribution is as follows.
Or
Given that, P(X = 0) = p
P(X = 1) = p
Let P(X = 2) = x
SP(X) = 1
⇒ P + P + x = 1 ⇒ x = 1 – 2P
Also, E(X) = ∑XP(X)
= 0 × P + 1 × P + 2 × x
= P + 2x
= P + 2(1 – 2P) [using Eq. (i)]
= P + 2 – 4P = 2 – 3P
E(X²) = ∑X²P(X)
= 0 + 1 × P + 4 × x
= P + 4x
= P + 4(1 – 2P) [using Eq. (i)]
= 4 – 7P
∵ E(X²) = E(X)
⇒ 4 – 7P = 2 – 3P
⇒ 2 = 4P
⇒ P = \(\frac{1}{2}\)

(i) What is the point of intersection of line l1 and l2.
(ii) Find the corner points of the feasible region shown in the above graph.
(iii) If Z – 2x + y be the objective function, then what is the minimum value of Z.
Or
If Z = 3x – y be the objective function, then what is the maximum value of Z?
Solution:
(i) Only solving equations 2x + y = 50 and
x + 2y = 40, we get 6(20, 10).
(ii) The corner points of the feasible region are
O(0, 0), A(25, 0), 6(20, 10) and C(0, 20)
(iii) Consider the table as,

(0, 0) | 0 (Minimum) |
(25, 0) | 50 |
(20, 10) | 50 |
(0, 20) | 20 |
Or
Consider the table as
Corner points | Value of Z = 3x – y |
(0, 0) | 0 |
(25 0) | 75 (Maximum) |
(20, 10) | 50 |
(0, 20) | -20 |
Question 37.
P(x) = -5x² + 125x + 37500, x > 0 is the total profit function of a company where x is the production of the company.
Based on the above information, answer the following questions.
(i) What will be the production when the profit is maximum.
(ii) What will be the maximum profit.
(iii) When the production is 2 units what will be the profit of the company.
Or
What will be production of the company when the profit is 38250?
Solution:
Given, total profit function
P(x) = – 5x² + 125x+ 37500
(i) We have, P(x) = – 5x² + 125x + 37500
⇒ P'(at) = -10x + 125
⇒ P”(x) = -10 < 0
∴ Profit is maximum when P'(x) = 0
⇒ -10x + 125 = 0 ⇒ x = \(\frac{125}{10}\) = 12.5
⇒ x = = 12.5
The production of company at 12.5 units, gives maximum profit.
(ii) Since, profit is maximum at 12.5.
∴ P(12.5) = -5(12.5)² + 125(12.5) + 37500
= -781.25 + 1562.5 + 37500
= ₹ 38281.25
(iii) We have, P(x) = -5x² + 125x + 37500
P(2) = – 5(2)² + 125 × 2 + 37500
= -20 + 250 + 37500
= ₹37730
Or
We have, P(x) = – 5x² + 125x + 37500
and P(x) = 38250
⇒ 38250 = -5x² + 125x + 37500
⇒ 5x² – 125 + 750 = 0
⇒ x² – 25x + 150 = 0
⇒ (x – 15) (x – 10) = 0
⇒ x = 10, 15
The production of company be 15 units.
Question 38.
A loan is the leading of money by one or more individual, organisations or other entities to other individuals, organisations etc. The recepient incurs a debt and is usually liable to pay interest on that debt until it is repaid as well as to repay the principal amount borrowed.
A loan of ₹ 400000 at the interest rate of 6.75% per annum compounded monthly is to be amortized by equal payment at the end of each month for 10 yr,
Based on the above information, answer the following questions.

[given (1.005625)120 = 1.9603 and (1.005625)60 = 1.4001]
Solution:
Given, P = ₹ 400000, n = 12 × 10 = 120
Hence, principal outstanding at beginning of 61st month is ₹ 233336.89.
