SECTION – A (80 Marks)

Question 1: [10 × 2]

(i) The binary operation $\ast : R \times R \ \rightarrow R$ is defined as $a \ast b = 2a+ b$ Find $(2 \ast 3) \ast 4$ .

(ii) If $\begin{bmatrix} 5 & a \\ b & 0 \end{bmatrix}$ and $A$ is symmetric matrix, show that $a = b$

(iii) Solve : $3 \ \tan^{-1}x + \cot^{-1}x = \pi$

(iv) Without expanding at any stage, find the value of:

$\left| \begin{array}{ccc} a & b & c \\ a+2x & b+2y & c+2z \\ x & y & z \end{array} \right|$

(v) Find the value of constant $k$ so that the function $f (x)$ defined as:

$f(x) = \Bigg\{$ $\begin{array}{ccc} \frac{a}{b}, x \neq -1 \\ \ \\ k, x = -1 \end{array}$

is continuous at $x=-1$ .

(vi) Find the approximate change in the volume $V$ of a cube of side $x$ meters caused by decreasing the side by $1\%$ .

(vii) Evaluate : $\int \limits_{}^{}$ $\frac{x^3+5x^2+4x+1}{x^2}$ $dx$

(viii) Find the differential equation of the family of concentric circles $x^2+y^2 = a^2$

(ix) If $A$ and $B$ are events such that $P(A) =$ $\frac{1}{3}$ $, P(B) =$ $\frac{1}{6}$ and $P(A \cap B) =$ $\frac{1}{4}$ , then find:

(a) $P(A/ B)$

(b) $P(B / A)$

(x) In a race, the probabilities of A and B winning the race are $\frac{1}{3}$ and $\frac{1}{6}$ respectively. Find the probability of neither of them winning the race.

Answer:

(i) Given $a * b = 2 a + b$

$(2 * 3) *4 = (4+ 3) * 4$

$= 7 * 4$

$= 14+ 4 = 18$

(ii) Since $\begin{bmatrix} 5 & a \\ b & 0 \end{bmatrix}$ is symmetric, therefore

$\begin{bmatrix} 5 & a \\ b & 0 \end{bmatrix}^T = \begin{bmatrix} 5 & a \\ b & 0 \end{bmatrix}$

$\begin{bmatrix} 5 & b \\ a & 0 \end{bmatrix}^T = \begin{bmatrix} 5 & a \\ b & 0 \end{bmatrix}$

We can compare corresponding terms. We get

$a = b$

(iii) $3 \ \tan^{-1}x + \cot^{-1}x = \pi$

$2 \ \tan^{-1}x + \tan^{-1}x + \cot^{-1}x = \pi$

$2 \ \tan^{-1}x +$ $\frac{\pi}{2}$ $= \pi$

$2 \ \tan^{-1}x = \pi -$ $\frac{\pi}{2}$

$\tan^{-1}x =$ $\frac{\pi}{2}$ $-$ $\frac{\pi}{4}$

$x = \tan \Big($ $\frac{\pi}{2}$ $-$ $\frac{\pi}{4}$ $\Big)$

$x = \tan \Big($ $\frac{\pi}{4}$ $\Big)$

$x = 1$

(iv) $\left| \begin{array}{ccc} a & b & c \\ a+2x & b+2y & c+2z \\ x & y & z \end{array} \right|$

Applying $R_1 \rightarrow R_1 + R_3$ and $R_2 \rightarrow R_2 - R_3$ we get

$\left| \begin{array}{ccc} a+x & b+y & c+z \\ a+x & b+y & c+z \\ x & y & z \end{array} \right| = 0$ since $R_1 = R_3$

(v) Given $f (x)$ is continuous at $x =-1$

Therefore $f(-1) = \lim \limits_{x \to -1} f(x)$

Therefore $k = \lim \limits_{x \to -1}$ $\frac{x^2 - 2x - 3}{x+1}$

$= \lim \limits_{x \to -1}$ $\frac{(x-3)(x+1)}{(x+1)}$

Since $x \rightarrow -1 = x+ 1 \neq 0$

$= -1 -3 = -4$

Therefore $k = -4$

(vi) Volume of a cube

$V = x^3$

$\frac{dV}{dx}$ $= 3x^2$

Therefore $\delta x = x .$ $\frac{1}{100}$ $=$ $\frac{-x}{100}$

Hence change in volume

$\delta V =$ $\frac{dV}{dx}$ $\delta x = (3x^2) \Big($ $\frac{-x}{100}$ $\Big) = - \Big($ $\frac{3}{100}$ $\Big) x^3 = -$ $\frac{3}{100}$ $V$

Hence change in volume decrease by $3\%$

(vii) $I = \int \limits_{}^{}$ $\frac{x^3+5x^2+4x+1}{x^2}$ $dx$

$= \int \limits_{}^{}$ $\Big($ $\frac{x^3}{x^2}$ $+$ $\frac{5x^2}{x^2}$ $+$ $\frac{4x}{x^2}$ $+$ $\frac{1}{x^2}$ $\Big)$ $dx$

$= \int \limits_{}^{}$ $\Big( x+ 5 +$ $\frac{4}{x}$ $+$ $\frac{1}{x^2}$ $\Big)$ $dx$

$=$ $\frac{x^2}{2}$ $+ 5x + 4 \log |x| -$ $\frac{1}{x}$ $+ c$

(viii) Family of concentric circles is $x^2 + y^2 = a^2$

Therefore Differential w.r.t. $x$

$2x + 2y$ $\frac{dy}{dx}$ $= 0$

Therefore $y$ $\frac{dy}{dx}$ $+ x = 0$

(ix) $P(A) =$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $, P(B) =$ $\frac{1}{3}$

$P (A / B) =$ $\frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}$ $=$ $\frac{\frac{1}{4}}{\frac{1}{3}}$ $=$ $\frac{3}{4}$

$P (B / A) =$ $\frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}$ $=$ $\frac{\frac{1}{4}}{\frac{1}{2}}$ $=$ $\frac{1}{2}$

(x) Let $A$ win the race be $E_1$ $B$ win the race be $E_2$

$P(A) =$ $\frac{1}{3}$ $, P(B) =$ $\frac{1}{6}$

$P({E'}_1 \cap {E'}_2) = P({E'}_1).P({E'}_2) = [1-P(E_1)].[1-P(E_2)]$

$= (1-$ $\frac{1}{3}$ $)(1-$ $\frac{1}{6}$ $)=$ $\frac{2}{3}$ $\times$ $\frac{5}{6}$ $= \frac{5}{9}$

$\\$

Question 2: If the function $f (x) = \sqrt{2x-3}$ is invertible then find its inverse. Hence prove that $(fof^{-1})(x) = x$ . [4]

Answer:

Let $y = \sqrt{2x-3}$

Squaring both sides $y^2 = 2x-3$

$\Rightarrow x =$ $\frac{y^2+3}{2}$

Therefore $f^{-1} (x) =$ $\frac{x^2+3}{2}$

Now, $(fof^{-1} (x)) = \sqrt{f^{-1}(x) - 3}$

$= \sqrt{ 2 \Big( \frac{x^2+3}{2} \Big) } = x$

Therefore $fo(f^{-1} (x)) = x$

$\\$

Question 3: If $\tan^{-1} a + \tan^{-1} b + \tan^{-1} c = \pi$ , prove that $a + b + c = abc$ . [4]

Answer:

$\tan^{-1} a + \tan^{-1} b + \tan^{-1} c = \pi$

$\Rightarrow \tan^{-1} b + \tan^{-1} c = \pi - \tan^{-1} a$

$\Rightarrow \tan^{-1} \Big($ $\frac{b+c}{1-bc}$ $\Big) = \pi - tan^{-1}a$

$\Rightarrow$ $\frac{b+c}{1-bc}$ $= \tan (\pi - \tan^{-1} a)$

$\Rightarrow$ $\frac{b+c}{1-bc}$ $= \tan (\tan^{-1} a)$

$\Rightarrow$ $\frac{b+c}{1-bc}$ $= -a$

$\Rightarrow b+ c = -a + abc$

$\Rightarrow a + b + c = abc$

$\\$

Question 4: Use properties of determinants to solve for $x$ :

$\left| \begin{array}{ccc} x+a & b & c \\ c & x+b & a \\ a & b & x+c \end{array} \right|= 0$ and $x \neq 0$ [4]

Answer:

Given $\left| \begin{array}{ccc} x+a & b & c \\ c & x+b & a \\ a & b & x+c \end{array} \right|= 0$ and $x \neq 0$

$C_1 \rightarrow C_1 + C_2 + C_3$ we get

$\left| \begin{array}{ccc} x+a+b+c & b & c \\ x+a+b+c & x+b & a \\ x+a+b+c & b & x+c \end{array} \right|= 0$

$(x+a+b+c)$ $\left| \begin{array}{ccc} 1 & b & c \\ 1 & x+b & a \\ 1 & b & x+c \end{array} \right|= 0$

$R_1 \rightarrow R_1 - R_3$ we get

$(x+a+b+c)$ $\left| \begin{array}{ccc} 0 & 0 & -x \\ 1 & x+b & a \\ 1 & b & x+c \end{array} \right|= 0$

$(x+a+b+c) \Big( 0-0-x(b-x-b) \Big) = 0$

$(x+a+b+c) x^2 = 0$

$\Rightarrow x^2 = 0$ or $(x+a+b+c) = 0$

But $x \neq 0$ , therefore $x = -(a+b+c)$

$\\$

Question 5: [4]

(a) Show that the function $f(x) = \Bigg\{$ $\begin{array}{ccc} x^2, x \leq 1 \\ \ \\ \frac{1}{2}, x > 1 \end{array}$ is continuous at $x =1$ but not differentiable.

(b) Verify Rolle’s theorem for the following function: $f(x) = e^{-x} \sin x \ on \ [0, \pi ]$

Answer:

(a) Continuity at $x = 1$

$f(x=1) = x^2 = 1$

$\lim \limits_{x \to 1^+} f(x) = \lim \limits_{x \to 1^+}$ $\frac{1}{x}$ $= 1$

$\lim \limits_{x \to 1^-} f(x) = \lim \limits_{x \to 1^-} x^2 = 1$

Therefore $f(x=1) = \lim \limits_{x \to 1^-} f(x) = \lim \limits_{x \to 1^+} f(x) = 1$

Therefore $f(x)$ is continuous at $x =1$

Now differentiate at $x = 1$

$(R.H.D \ at \ x = 1) = \lim \limits_{x \to 1^+}$ $\frac{f(x) - f(1)}{x-1}$

$= \lim \limits_{x \to 1}$ $\frac{\frac{1}{x} -1}{x-1}$

$= \lim \limits_{x \to 1}$ $\frac{-(x-1)}{x(x-1)}$

$=$ $\frac{-1}{1}$ $= -1$

$(L.H.D \ at \ x = 1 = ) = \lim \limits_{x \to 1^-}$ $\frac{f(x) - f(1)}{x-1}$

$= \lim \limits_{x \to 1^-}$ $\frac{x^2 - 1}{x-1}$ $= 2$

Therefore $L.H.D \neq R.H.D$

Hence $f(x)$ is not differentiable at $x = 1$

(b) $f(x) = e^{-x} \sin x \ on \ [0, \pi ]$

(i) $f (x)$ is continuous on $[0, \pi ]$ because $e^x \ \ and \ \sin x$ are continuous function on its domain.

(ii) $e^{-x}$ and $\sin x$ is differentiable on $(0,\pi )$

(iii) $f (0) = e^{-0} . \sin 0 = 0$

$f(\pi) = e^{-x}. \sin \pi = 0$

(iv) Let $c$ be number such that $f'(c)=0$

Therefore $f'(x) = e^{-x} . \cos x + \sin x . e^{-x} (-1)$

Therefore $f'(c) = e^{-c} (\cos c - \sin c)$

Therefore $f'(c) = 0$

$e^{-c} (\cos c - \sin c) = 0 \Rightarrow \tan c = 1$

Therefore $c =$ $\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{3\pi}{4}, \frac{5\pi}{4}$ $, \ ...$

Therefore $\frac{\pi}{4}$ $\in [0, \pi]$

Therefore Rolle’s theorem verified

$\\$

Question 6: If $x = \tan \Big($ $\frac{1}{a}$ $log \ y \Big)$ , prove that $(1+x^2)$ $\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}$ $+(2x-a)$ $\frac{dy}{dx}$ $= 0$ [4]

Answer:

$x = \tan \Big($ $\frac{1}{a}$ $log \ y \Big)$

Therefore $\frac{1}{a}$ $\log y = \tan^{-1}x$

differentiating both sides w.r.t. $x$

$y =$ $e^{a \ \tan^{-1}x}$

$\frac{dy}{dx}$ $=$ $e^{a \ \tan^{-1}x}$ $\Big($ $\frac{a}{1+x^2}$ $\Big)$

$(1+x^2)$ $\frac{dy}{dx}$ $= ay$

Again differentiating both sides w.r.t. $x$

$(1+x^2)$ $\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}$ $+$ $\frac{dy}{dx}$ $. 2x = a$ $\frac{dy}{dx}$

$(1+x^2)$ $\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}$ $+ (2x-a)$ $\frac{dy}{dx}$ $= 0$

$\\$

Question 7: Evaluate: $\int \limits_{}^{}$ $\tan^{-1}\sqrt{x} \ dx$ [4]

Answer:

$I =$ $\int \limits_{}^{}$ $\tan^{-1}\sqrt{x} \ dx$

Put $\sqrt{x} = t$

$\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}$ $\ dx = dt$

$dx = 2\sqrt{x} dt \Rightarrow dx = 2t \ dt$

$I = \int \limits_{}^{}$ $2t \ \tan^{-1} t \ dt$

$I = 2 \Big[$ $\frac{t^2}{2}$ $\tan^{-1}t -$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $\int \limits_{}^{}$ $\frac{t^2}{1+t^2}$ $\ dt \Big]$

$I = 2 \Big[$ $\frac{t^2}{2}$ $\tan^{-1}t -$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $\int \limits_{}^{}$ $\Big($ $\frac{1+t^2}{1+t^2}$ $-$ $\frac{1}{1+t^2}$ $\Big) \ dt \Big]$

$I = (t^2 \ \tan^{-1} t -t + \tan^{-1} t ) + c$

$I = t^2 \ \tan^{-1} t -t + \tan^{-1} t + c$

$I = (x+1) \ \tan^{-1} \sqrt{x} - \sqrt{x}+c$

$\\$

Question 8: [4]

(a) Find the points on the curve $y = 4x^3 - 3x + 5$ at which the equation of the tangent is parallel to the x-axis.

(b) Water is dripping out from a conical funnel of semi-vertical angle $\frac{\pi}{4}$ at the uniform rate of $2 \ cm^2/sec$ in the surface, through a tiny hole at the vertex of the bottom. When the slant height of the water level is 4 cm, find the rate of decrease of the slant height of the water.

Answer:

(a) $y = 4x^3 - 3x + 5$ … … … … … (i)

$\frac{dy}{dx}$ $= 12x^2 - 3$

Given that lines is parallel to $x-axis$

Therefore $\frac{dy}{dx}$ $= 0$

$12x^2 - 3 = 0 \Rightarrow 12x^2 = 3 \Rightarrow x^2 =$ $\frac{1}{4}$

$\Rightarrow x = \pm$ $\frac{1}{2}$

Put $x = \pm$ $\frac{1}{2}$ in equation (i)

When $x =$ $\frac{1}{2}$ then $y = 4\Big($ $\frac{1}{2}$ $\Big)^3 - 3 \Big($ $\frac{1}{2}$ $\Big) + 5 = 4$

Therefore Point $($ $\frac{1}{2}$ $, 4)$

When $x =$ $\frac{-1}{2}$ , then $y = 4\Big($ $\frac{-1}{2}$ $\Big)^3 - 3 \Big($ $\frac{-1}{2}$ $\Big) + 5 = 6$

Therefore Point $($ $\frac{-1}{2}$ $, 6)$

Therefore Points $(x, y) = ($ $\frac{1}{2}$ $, 4)$ and $($ $\frac{-1}{2}$ $, 6)$

(b) Let $r$ be the radius, $h$ be the height and $V$ be the volume of the funnel at any time $t$ .

$V =$ $\frac{1}{3}$ $\pi r^2 h$ … … … … … (i)

Let $I$ be the slant height of the funnel
Given : Semi-vertical angle $= 45^o$ in the $\triangle ADE$ :

$sin \ 45^o =$ $\frac{DE}{AE}$ $\Rightarrow$ $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ $=$ $\frac{r}{l}$

$cos \ 45^o =$ $\frac{AD}{AE}$ $\Rightarrow$ $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ $=$ $\frac{h}{l}$

$r =$ $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ $\ and \ h =$ $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ … … … … … (ii)

therefore the equation (i) can be rewritten as:

$V =$ $\frac{1}{3}$ $\pi \times \Big($ $\frac{I}{\sqrt{2}}$ $\Big)^2 \times \Big($ $\frac{I}{\sqrt{2}}$ $\Big) = \Big($ $\frac{\pi}{3 \times 2 \times \sqrt{2}}$ $\Big) \times I^3$

$V =$ $\frac{\pi}{6\sqrt{2}}$ $I^3$

Differentiate w.r.t. $t$ :

$\frac{dV}{dt}$ $=$ $\frac{\pi}{6\sqrt{2}}$ $\times 3I^2 \times$ $\frac{dl}{dt}$

$\frac{dV}{dt}$ $=$ $\frac{\pi}{2\sqrt{2}}$ $\times I^2 \times$ $\frac{dl}{dt}$

$\frac{dl}{dt}$ $=$ $\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{\pi l^2}$ $\frac{dV}{dt}$

Since it is given that rate of change (decrease) of volume of water w.r.t. $t$ is

$\frac{dV}{dt}$ $= -2$ $\frac{cm^3}{sec}$

Thereofore

$\frac{dl}{dt}$ $=$ $\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{\pi l^2}$ $\times (-2) = -$ $\frac{4\sqrt{2}}{\pi l^2}$

${\frac{dl}{dt}}_{|_{at \ l = 4}}$ $= -$ $\frac{4\sqrt{2}}{\pi \times 4^2}$ $= -$ $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4\pi}$ $\frac{cm}{sec}$

Question 9: [4]

(a) Solve: $\sin x$ $\frac{dy}{dx}$ $- y = \sin x. \tan$ $\frac{x}{2}$

(b) The population of a town grows at the rate of $10\%$ per year. Using differential equation, find how long will it take for the population to grow $4$ times.

Answer:

(a) $\sin x$ $\frac{dy}{dx}$ $- y = \sin x. \tan$ $\frac{x}{2}$

$\Rightarrow$ $\frac{dy}{dx}$ $- y . cosec \ x = \tan$ $\frac{x}{2}$

Compare with $\frac{dy}{dx}$ $+Py = Q$

$P = - cosec \ x, Q = \tan$ $\frac{x}{2}$

$I.F =$ $e^{\int \limits_{}^{} P dx}$

$I.F =$ $e^{\int \limits_{}^{} -cosec \ x \ dx}$

$I.F =$ $e^{-\log_e(cosec \ x - \cot x)}$

$I.F =$ $e^{\log_e(cosec \ x - \cot x)^{-1}}$

$I.F = (cosec \ x - \cot x )^{-1} = (cosec \ x + \cot x)$

Therefore solution of the linear differential equation

$y.IF = \int \limits_{}^{} Q.IF. dx$

$y (cosec \ x + \cot x) = \int \limits_{}^{} \tan$ $\frac{x}{2}$ $\Big($ $\frac{1+\cos x}{\sin x}$ $\Big) dx$

$y (cosec \ x - \cot x) = \int \limits_{}^{}$ $\frac{\sin \ \frac{x}{2}}{\cos \frac{x}{2}}$ $.$ $\frac{2 \cos^2 \frac{x}{2}}{2 \sin \frac{x}{2}.\cos \frac{x}{2}}$ $dx = \int \limits_{}^{} 1 dx$

$y (cosec \ x + \cot x) = x + c$

(b) $\frac{dx}{dt}$ $\propto x$ (Since increase in population speeds up with increase in population) and let $x$ be the population at anytime $t$ .

Therefore $\frac{dx}{dt}$ $= r x$ (where r is proportionality constant)

Therefore $\frac{dx}{x}$ $= r . dt$

integrating both sides

$\log x = rt + c$ , (where c is the integration constant)

Therefore $x = e^{rt+c}$

$x = k e^{rt}$ where $k = e^c$

Here $r$ is the rate of increase and $k$ is the initial population let $x_0$ then $t = 0$

$x_0 = ke^0$ $\Rightarrow k = x_0$

Given to find the time $t$ taken to attain $4$ times population, so $x = 4 x_0$

Therefore $x = ke^{rt}$ $\Rightarrow 4x_0 =$ $x_0 e^{0.10t}$

$4 = e^{0.1t}$ Taking log on both sides

$2 \log 2 = \log$ $e^{0.1t}$

$\Rightarrow 2 \times 0.3010 = 0.1t \Rightarrow t = 6.02$

$\\$

Question 10: [6]

(a) Using matrices, solve the following system of equations :

$2x - 3y + 5z = 11$
$3x + 2y - 4z = -5$
$x + y - 2z = -3$

(b) Using elementary transformation, find the inverse of the matrix :

$\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & 2 \\ 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 3 & 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$

Answer:

(a) Given, the three equations:

$2x - 3y + 5z = 11$
$3x + 2y - 4z = -5$
$x + y - 2z = -3$

We can write this in the form of $AX = B$ , i.e. as follows:

$\begin{bmatrix} 2 & -3 & 5 \\ 3 & 2 & -4 \\ 1 & 1 & -2 \end{bmatrix} . \begin{bmatrix} x \\ y \\ z \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 11 \\ -5 \\ -3 \end{bmatrix}$

We know, $A^{-1} =$ $\frac{1}{|A|}$ $(adj. A)$

$| A|= 2(2\times - 2-1\times - 4) -(-3) (3 \times -2 -1 \times -4) + 5(3 \times 1 - 2 \times 1)$

$=2(-4+4) +3(-6+4) + 5(3-2) = 0-6 +5 = -1 \neq 0$

Hence it is a non – singular matrix. Therefore A^{-1} exists. Let us find the (adj A) by finding the minors and co-factors

$A^{-1} = \frac{1}{-1} \begin{bmatrix} 2(-2) -1(-4) & 3(-2) - 1(-4) & 3(1) - 1(2) \\ (-3)(-2) - 1(5) & 2(-2) - 1(5) & 2(1) - 1(-3) \\ (-3)(-4)-2(5) & 2(-4) - 3(5) & 2(2) - 3(-3) \end{bmatrix}$

$A^{-1} = \frac{1}{-1} \begin{bmatrix} 0 & -1 & 2 \\ 2 & -9 & 23 \\ 1 & -5 & 13 \end{bmatrix}$

$A^{-1} = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & -2 \\ -2 & 9 & -23 \\ -1 & 5 & -13 \end{bmatrix}$

We know $AX = B$ , then $X = A^{-1} B$

$\begin{bmatrix} x \\ y \\ z \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & -2 \\ -2 & 9 & -23 \\ -1 & 5 & -13 \end{bmatrix} . \begin{bmatrix} 11 \\ -5 \\ -3 \end{bmatrix}$

Matrix multiplication can be done by multiplying the rows of matrix $A$ with the column of matrix $B$ .

$\begin{bmatrix} x \\ y \\ z \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 0-5+6 \\ -22-45+69 \\ -11-25+39 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 2 \\ 3 \end{bmatrix}$

Hence $x=1$ , $y=2$ and $z = 3$

(b) Let $A = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & 2 \\ 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 3 & 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$

$|A| = 0(2-3) -1(1-9) +2 (1-6) = -2 \neq 0$

Therefore $A{-1}$ exists.

$A = IA$

$\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & 2 \\ 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 3 & 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}. A$

Interchanging $R_1$ and $R_2$

$\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 0 & 1 & 2 \\ 3 & 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}. A$

$R_3 \rightarrow R_3 - 3 R_1$

$\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 0 & 1 & 2 \\ 0 & -5 & -8 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & -3 & 1 \end{bmatrix}. A$

$R_3 \rightarrow R_3 + 5 R_2$

$\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 0 & 1 & 2 \\ 0 & 0 & 2 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 5 & -3 & 1 \end{bmatrix}. A$

$R_2 \rightarrow R_2 - R_3$

$\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 2 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & 0 \\ -4 & 3 & -1 \\ 5 & -3 & 1 \end{bmatrix}. A$

$R_1 \rightarrow R_1 - 2R_2$ and $R_3 \rightarrow R_3 \times \frac{1}{2}$

$\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 3 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 8 & -5 & 2 \\ -4 & 3 & -1 \\ \frac{5}{2} & -\frac{3}{2} & \frac{1}{2} \end{bmatrix}. A$

$R_1 \rightarrow R_1 - 3R_3$

$\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} \frac{1}{2} & -\frac{1}{2} & \frac{1}{2} \\ -4 & 3 & -1 \\ \frac{5}{2} & -\frac{3}{2} & \frac{1}{2} \end{bmatrix}. A$

Therefore $A^{-1} = \begin{bmatrix} \frac{1}{2} & -\frac{1}{2} & \frac{1}{2} \\ -4 & 3 & -1 \\ \frac{5}{2} & -\frac{3}{2} & \frac{1}{2} \end{bmatrix} =$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1 & 1 \\ -8 & 6 & -2 \\ 5 & -3 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$

Question 11: $A$ speaks truth in $60\%$ of the cases, while $B$ is $40\%$ of the cases. In what percent of cases are they likely to contradict each other in stating the same fact ? [4]

Answer:

$A$ speaks truth $P(A) =$ $\frac{60}{100}$ $\Rightarrow P(A') =$ $\frac{40}{100}$

$B$ speaks truth $P(B) =$ $\frac{40}{100}$ $\Rightarrow P(B') =$ $\frac{60}{100}$

They contradict each other $= P(A).P(B') + P(B).P(A')$

$=$ $\frac{60}{100}$ $\times$ $\frac{60}{100}$ $+$ $\frac{40}{100}$ $\times$ $\frac{40}{100}$

$=$ $\frac{3600 + 1600}{10000}$ $=$ $\frac{52}{100}$

$\%$ of cases they likely to contradict each other $= 52\%$

Question 12: A cone is inscribed in a sphere of radius $12 \ cm$ . If the volume of the cone is maximum, find its height. [6]

Answer:

Let $DAB$ be a cone of greatest volume inscribed in a sphere of radius $12$ . It is obvious that for maximum volume the axis of the cone must be along a diameter of the sphere. Let $DC$ be the axis of the cone and $O$ be the center of the sphere such that $OC = x$ .

Then, $DC =DO+OC = R + x = (12+ x) =$ height of cone. Applying Pythagoras theorem,

$OA^2 = AC^2 + OC^2$

$\Rightarrow AC^2 = 12^2 - x^2$

$\Rightarrow AC^2 = 144 - x^2$

Let $V$ be the volume of the cone, then

$V =$ $\frac{1}{3}$ $\pi (AC)^2 (DC)$

$V =$ $\frac{1}{3}$ $\pi (144 - x^2)^2 (12+ x)$

$V =$ $\frac{1}{3}$ $\pi (1728 + 144x -12x^2 -x^3)$ … … … … … (i)

$\frac{dV}{dx}$ $=$ $\frac{1}{3}$ $\pi (144 - 24x-3x^2)$

$\frac{d^2V}{dx^2}$ $=$ $\frac{1}{3}$ $\pi (-24-6x) = -2\pi (4+x)$

Now, $\frac{dV}{dx}$ $= 0 \Rightarrow 144 - 24x-3x^2 = 0$

$\Rightarrow (x+12)(x-4) = 0 \Rightarrow x = -12 \ or \ x = 4$

$\Big[ \frac{d^2V}{dx^2} \Big]_{x=4}$ $= -2\pi (4+4) = -16\pi < 0$

Thus, $V$ is maximum when $x = 4$ . Putting $x = 4$ in (i), we obtain

Height of the cone $= x + R = 4 + 12 = 16 \ cm$

Question 13: [6]

(a) Evaluate: $\int \limits_{}^{}$ $\frac{x-1}{\sqrt{x^2-x}}$ $\ dx$

(b) Evaluate: $\int \limits_{0}^{\pi / 2}$ $\frac{\cos^2 x}{1 + \sin x \ \cos x}$ $dx$

Answer:

(a) Let $I =$ $\int \limits_{}^{}$ $\frac{x-1}{\sqrt{x^2-x}}$ $\ dx$

Therefore $x-1 = A$ $\frac{d}{dx}$ $(x^2 - x) + B$

$x-1 = A(2x-1) + B$

$\Rightarrow 2A = 1 \Rightarrow A =$ $\frac{1}{2}$

and $-1 = -A + B \Rightarrow B = -1 +$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $= -$ $\frac{1}{2}$

$I =$ $\int \limits_{}^{}$ $\frac{\frac{1}{2} (2x-1)}{\sqrt{x^2-x}}$ $dx -$ $\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{\sqrt{x^2-x}}$ $dx$

$=$ $\int \limits_{}^{}$ $\Bigg[$ $\frac{\frac{1}{2} (2x-1) dx}{\sqrt{x^2-x}}$ $\Bigg]$ $-$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $\Bigg[$ $\frac{dx}{\sqrt{\Big( x- \frac{1}{2} \Big)^2 - \Big( \frac{1}{2} \Big)^2 }}$ $\Bigg]$

$=$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $\times 2\sqrt{x^2-x} -$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $\times \log$ $\lvert$ $\Big( x-$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $\Big) + \sqrt{\Big( x- \frac{1}{2} \Big)^2 - \Big( \frac{1}{2} \Big)^2 }$ $\lvert$ $+ c$

$= \sqrt{x^2-x} -$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $\log$ $\lvert$ $x -$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $+ \sqrt{x^2-x}$ $\lvert$ $+ c$

(b) $I =$ $\int \limits_{0}^{\pi / 2}$ $\frac{\cos^2 x}{1 + \sin x \ \cos x}$ $dx$ … … … … … (i)

Using $\int \limits_{0}^{a} f(x) dx = \int \limits_{0}^{a} f(a-x) dx$

Therefore

$I =$ $\int \limits_{0}^{\pi / 2}$ $\frac{\cos^2 (\frac{\pi}{2} - x) }{1 + \sin (\frac{\pi}{2} - x) \cos (\frac{\pi}{2} - x)}$ $dx$

$\Rightarrow I =$ $\int \limits_{0}^{\pi / 2}$ $\frac{\sin^2 x}{1 + \cos x \sin x}$ $dx$ … … … … … (ii)

Adding equation (i) and (ii)

$\Rightarrow 2I =$ $\int \limits_{0}^{\pi / 2}$ $\frac{\sin^2 x + \cos^2 x}{1 + \cos x \sin x}$ $dx$

$=$ $\int \limits_{0}^{\pi / 2}$ $\frac{1}{1 + \cos x \sin x}$ $dx$

$=$ $\int \limits_{0}^{\pi / 2}$ $\frac{\sec^2 x}{\sec^2 x + \tan x}$ $dx$

$2I =$ $\int \limits_{0}^{\pi / 2}$ $\frac{\sec^2 x}{1+ \tan^2 x + \tan x}$ $dx$

Put $\tan x = t$ and $\sec^2 x \ dx = dt$

When $x=0, t = 0$

When $x = \frac{\pi}{2}, t = \infty$

$2I =$ $\int \limits_{0}^{\infty}$ $\frac{dt}{t^2 + 2t \times \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{4} + 1}$

$2I =$ $\int \limits_{0}^{\infty}$ $\frac{dt}{ \Big( t + \frac{1}{2} \Big)^2 + \Big( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \Big)^2 }$

$=$ $\frac{1}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}$ $\Big[ tan^{-1} \Big($ $\frac{t + \frac{1}{2}}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}$ $\Big) \Big]_{0}^{\infty}$

$=$ $\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$ $\tan^{-1}$ $\Big[ \Big($ $\frac{2t+1}{\sqrt{3}}$ $\Big) \Big]_{0}^{\infty}$

$2I =$ $\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$ $\Big[$ $\frac{\pi}{2}$ $-$ $\frac{\pi}{6}$ $\Big]$

$I =$ $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ $\Big[$ $\frac{3\pi - \pi}{6}$ $\Big] =$ $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ $\Big[$ $\frac{\pi}{3}$ $\Big] =$ $\frac{\pi}{3\sqrt{3}}$

Question 14: From a lot of $6$ items containing $2$ defective items, a sample of $4$ items are drawn at random. Let the random variable $X$ denote the number of defective items in the sample. If the sample is drawn without replacement, find :
(a) The probability distribution of $X$
(b) Mean of $X$
(c) Variance of $X$ [6]

Answer:

In $6$ items $2$ defective and $4$ non-defective. Let $P$ is the probability of defective items
Let $x =$ number of defective items. Therefore $x = 0,1, 2$

Therefore $P(x=0) =$ $\frac{^4C_4}{^6C_4}$ $=$ $\frac{1}{15}$

$P(x=1) =$ $\frac{^2C_1 \times ^4C_3}{^6C_4}$ $=$ $\frac{8}{15}$

$P(x=2) =$ $\frac{^2C_2 \times ^4C_2}{^6C_4}$ $=$ $\frac{6}{15}$

$x$	$P(x)$	$xP(x)$	$x^2P(x)$
$0$	$\frac{1}{15}$	$0$	$0$
$1$	$\frac{8}{15}$	$\frac{8}{15}$	$\frac{8}{15}$
$2$	$\frac{6}{15}$	$\frac{12}{15}$	$\frac{24}{15}$

(i) Mean $(\overline{x}) = \Sigma P_ix_i =$ $\frac{20}{15}$ $=$ $\frac{4}{3}$

(ii) Variance $(\sigma^2) = \Sigma P_i{x_i}^2 - (\Sigma P_ix_i)^2 =$ $\frac{32}{15}$ $- \Big($ $\frac{4}{3}$ $\Big)^2 =$ $\frac{16}{45}$ $= 0.35$

SECTION B (20 Marks)

Question 15: [3 × 2]

(a) Find $\lambda$ if the scalar projection of $\overrightarrow{a} = \lambda \hat{i} + \hat{j} + 4 \hat{k}$ and $\overrightarrow{b} = 2 \hat{i} + 6\hat{j} + 3 \hat{k}$ is $4$ units.

(b) The Cartesian equation of line is : $2x - 3 = 3y +1 = 5 - 6z$ . Find the vector equation of a line passing through $(7, -5, 0)$ and parallel to the given line.

(c) Find the equation of the plane through the intersection of the planes $\overrightarrow{r} . (\hat{i}+3 \hat{j} - \hat{k})= 9$ and $\overrightarrow{r} . (2\hat{i}- \hat{j} +1\hat{k})= 3$ and passing through the origin.

Answer:

(a) Projection on $\overrightarrow{a}$ on $\overrightarrow{b}$ is $\frac{\overrightarrow{a}.\overrightarrow{b}}{|\overrightarrow{b} |}$ $= 4$

Given $\overrightarrow{a} = \lambda \hat{i} + \hat{j} + 4 \hat{k}$ and $\overrightarrow{b} = 2 \hat{i} + 6\hat{j} + 3 \hat{k}$

Therefore

$\frac{(\lambda \hat{i} + \hat{j} + 4 \hat{k}).(2 \hat{i} + 6\hat{j} + 3 \hat{k})}{\sqrt{2^2+6^2+3^2}}$ $= 4$

Therefore $\frac{2\lambda + 6(1) +4(3)}{\sqrt{49}}$ $= 4$

$\Rightarrow$ $\frac{2\lambda + 18}{7}$ $= 4$

$\Rightarrow 2\lambda = 28 - 18$

$\Rightarrow \lambda = 5$

(b) Cartesian equation of a line is

$2x - 3 = 3y +1 = 5 - 6z$

i.e. $2 \Big( x -$ $\frac{3}{2}$ $\Big) = 3 \Big( y +$ $\frac{1}{3}$ $\Big) = -6 \Big( z -$ $\frac{6}{5}$ $\Big)$

Dividing by $(-6)$ throughout we get

$-\frac{1}{3}$ $\Big( x -$ $\frac{3}{2}$ $\Big) = -\frac{1}{2}$ $\Big( y -$ $\frac{1}{3}$ $\Big) = -1 \Big( z -$ $\frac{6}{5}$ $\Big)$

Therefore D.r.s of the above line is $-3, -2, 1$ . Now, equation of a line passing through point $(7, -5, 0)$ and parallel to the above line whose d.r.s. is $-3, -2, 1$ is $\overrightarrow{r} = ( 7 \hat{i} - 5\hat{j}) + \lambda (-3\hat{i}-2\hat{j}- \hat{k})$

i.e. $(x\hat{i} + y\hat{i} + z\hat{i}).(\hat{i}+3 \hat{j} - \hat{k})= 9$

$\Rightarrow x + 3y -z = 9$

$\Rightarrow x + 3y -z - 9 = 0$ … … … … … (i)

Equation of 2nd plane is: $\overrightarrow{r} . (2\hat{i}- \hat{j} +1\hat{k})= 3$

i.e. $(x\hat{i} + y\hat{i} + z\hat{i}) . (2\hat{i}- \hat{j} +1\hat{k})= 3$

$\Rightarrow 2x-y+z = 3$

$\Rightarrow 2x-y+z - 3 = 0$ … … … … … (ii)

Now, equation of a plane passing through intersection of given planes is:

$(x + 3y -z - 9) + \lambda (2x-y+z - 3) = 0$

$\Rightarrow (1+ 2 \lambda) x + (3 - \lambda) y )+ (-1 + \lambda) -9 -3\lambda = 0$

Since plane is passing through the origin $(0, 0, 0)$

$-9 -3\lambda = 0 \Rightarrow -3 \lambda = 9 \Rightarrow \lambda = -3$

Question 16: [4]

(a) If $A, B, C$ are three non- collinear points with position vectors $\overrightarrow{a}, \overrightarrow{b}, \overrightarrow{c}$ respectively, then show that the length of the perpendicular from $C \ on \ AB$ is $\frac{ | (\overrightarrow{a} \times \overrightarrow{b} +\overrightarrow{b} \times \overrightarrow{c} +\overrightarrow{b} \times \overrightarrow{a} ) | }{| \overrightarrow{a} - \overrightarrow{b} | }$

(b) Show that the four points A,B, C and D with position vectors $4\hat{i} + 5\hat{j} + \hat{k}, - \hat{j} - \hat{k}, 3\hat{i} + 9\hat{j} + 4\hat{k}$ and $4( -\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k})$

Answer:

(a) Let $ABC$ be a triangle and let $\overrightarrow{a} , \overrightarrow{b}, \overrightarrow{c}$ be the position vectors of its vertices $A, B, C$ respectively. Let $CM$ be the perpendicular from $C$ on $AB$ . Then,

Area of $\triangle ABC = \frac{1}{2} AB.CM =$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $| \overrightarrow{AB} | (CM)$

Also, Area of $\triangle ABC =$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $| \overrightarrow{AB} \times \overrightarrow{AC} |$

Area of $\triangle ABC =$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $| \overrightarrow{a} \times \overrightarrow{b} + \overrightarrow{b} \times \overrightarrow{c} + \overrightarrow{c} \times \overrightarrow{a} |$

Therefore

$\frac{1}{2}$ $| \overrightarrow{AB} | (CM) =$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $| \overrightarrow{a} \times \overrightarrow{b} + \overrightarrow{b} \times \overrightarrow{c} + \overrightarrow{c} \times \overrightarrow{a} |$

$\Rightarrow CM =$ $\frac{| \overrightarrow{a} \times \overrightarrow{b} + \overrightarrow{b} \times \overrightarrow{c} + \overrightarrow{c} \times \overrightarrow{a} |}{ | \overrightarrow{AB} |}$

$\Rightarrow CM =$ $\frac{| \overrightarrow{a} \times \overrightarrow{b} + \overrightarrow{b} \times \overrightarrow{c} + \overrightarrow{c} \times \overrightarrow{a} |}{ |\overrightarrow{b} - \overrightarrow{a} |}$

(b) Given: $\overrightarrow{a} = 4\hat{i} + 5\hat{j} + \hat{k}$

$\overrightarrow{b} = - \hat{j} - \hat{k}$

$\overrightarrow{c} = 3\hat{i} + 9\hat{j} + 4\hat{k}$

$\overrightarrow{d} = 4( -\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k})$

$\overrightarrow{AB} = \overrightarrow{b} - \overrightarrow{a} = -4 \hat{i}-6\hat{j} - 2\hat{k}$

$\overrightarrow{AC} = \overrightarrow{c} - \overrightarrow{a} = - \hat{i}+4\hat{j} +3\hat{k}$

$\overrightarrow{AD} = \overrightarrow{d} - \overrightarrow{a} = -8 \hat{i}-\hat{j} +3\hat{k}$

$\overrightarrow{AB}, \overrightarrow{AC}, \overrightarrow{AD}$ are coplanar if $\begin{bmatrix} \overrightarrow{AB} & \overrightarrow{AC} & \overrightarrow{AD}\end{bmatrix} = 0$

i.e. $\overrightarrow{AB} (\overrightarrow{AC} \times \overrightarrow{AD}) = 0$

Therefore $\begin{bmatrix} -4 & -6 & -2 \\ -1 & 4 & 3 \\ -8 & -1 & 3 \end{bmatrix} = -4(15) + 6(21) -2(66) = -60+126-66 = 0.$

Therefore $\overrightarrow{AB}, \overrightarrow{AC} \ and \ \overrightarrow{AD}$ are coplanar.

Therefore Points $A, B, C$ and $D$ are coplanar

Question 17: [4]

(a) Draw a rough sketch of the curve and find the area of the region bounded by curve $y^2 = 8x$ and the line $x =2$ .

(b) Sketch the graph of $y = |x + 4|$ . Using integration, find the area of the region bounded by the curve $y = |x + 4|$ and $x = -6$ and $x = 0$ .

Answer:

(a) Given equation is $y^2 = 8x$

Comparing with $y^2 = 4ax$

We get $4a = 8 \Rightarrow a = 2$

Given $y^2 = 4(2) x$

$y^2 = 8x \Rightarrow y = \sqrt{8x}$

Also, $x = 2$ meets $y^2 = 8x$

$y^2 =16 \Rightarrow y = \pm 4$

Therefore $(2,4)$ and $(2,-4)$ are their point of intersection.

Required are $A = 2 \int \limits_{0}^{2} \sqrt{8x} \ dx = 2\sqrt{8}\int \limits_{0}^{2} x^{1/2} \ dx$

$= 4\sqrt{2}$ $\Big[ \frac{x^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\frac{3}{2}} \Big]_{0}^{2}$

$=$ $\frac{8\sqrt{2}}{3}$ $(2^{\frac{3}{2}} - 0 )$

$=$ $\frac{8\sqrt{2}}{3}$ $\times \sqrt{8}$

$=$ $\frac{8\sqrt{2} \times 2\sqrt{2}}{3}$ $=$ $\frac{32}{3}$ sq. units.

(b) $y = x + 4$ , if $x > 4$

$y = -(x + 4)$ , if $x < 4$

For $y = x + 4$

when $x = 0, y = 4$

when $y = 0, x = -4$

Points are $(0, 4)$ and $(-4, 0)$

For $y = -x - 4$

when $x = 0, y = -4$

when $y = 0, x = -4$

Points are $(0, -4)$ and $(-4, 0)$

Therefore the required area:

$= \int \limits_{-6}^{-4} -(x+4) \ dx + \int \limits_{-4}^{0} (x+4) \ dx$

$= - \Big[$ $\frac{x^2}{2}$ $+4x \Big]_{-6}^{-4} + \Big[$ $\frac{x^2}{2}$ $+4x \Big]_{-6}^{-4}$

$= - \Big[$ $\frac{(-4)^2}{2}$ $+ 4(-4) - \Big[$ $\frac{(-6)^2}{2}$ $+ 4(-6) \Big] \Big] + \Big[ 0+0 - \Big[$ $\frac{(-4)^2}{2}$ $+ 4(-4) \Big] \Big]$

$= - \Big[$ $\frac{16}{2}$ $-16 - \Big[$ $\frac{36}{2}$ $-24 \Big] \Big] + \Big[ - \Big[$ $\frac{16}{2}$ $-16 \Big] \Big]$

$= -(-8+6) + 8$

$= 10$ sq. units

Question 18: Find the image of a point having position vector : $3\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + \hat{k}$ in the plane $\overrightarrow{r}.(3\hat{i} - \hat{j} + 4\hat{k}) = 2$ [6]

Answer:

Let $B$ be root of point $A (3\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + \hat{k})$ in the plane $\overrightarrow{r}.(3\hat{i} - \hat{j} + 4\hat{k}) = 2$ can of $AB$ is

$\overrightarrow{r}.(3\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + \hat{k}) + \lambda (3\hat{i} - \hat{j} + 4\hat{k}) = 0$

$\frac{x-3}{3}$ $=$ $\frac{y+2}{-1}$ $=$ $\frac{z-1}{4}$ $=$ $\lambda$

$\Rightarrow x = 3\lambda + 3, y = -\lambda-2, z = 4\lambda+1$

substitute $x, \ y$ and $z$ in plane $3x - y + 4z = 2$

$3(3\lambda+3) - (-\lambda-2)+4(4\lambda+1) = 2$

$9\lambda+ 9 + \lambda + 2 + 16\lambda + 4 = 2$

$26\lambda+13=0 \Rightarrow \lambda = -$ $\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore $x = -$ $\frac{3}{2}$ $+3 =$ $\frac{3}{2}$

$y =$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $-2 = -$ $\frac{3}{2}$

$z = -2 +1 = -1$

Therefore by mid point formula

$\frac{3}{2}$ $=$ $\frac{3+x_1}{2}$ $\Rightarrow x_1 = 0$

$-\frac{3}{2}$ $=$ $\frac{-2+y_1}{2}$ $\Rightarrow y_1 = -1$

$-1 =$ $\frac{1-z_1}{2}$ $\Rightarrow z_1 = 3$

Question 19: [3 × 2]

(a) Given the total cost function of $x$ units of a commodity as

$C(x) =$ $\frac{1}{3}$ $x^3 +3x^2 -16x + 2$

Find: (i) Marginal cost function (ii) Average cost function

(b) Find the coefficient of correlation from the regression lines: $x-2y+3 = 0$ and $4x-5y+1 = 0$ .

(c) The average cost function associated with producing and marketing $x$ units of an item is given by $AC = 2x - 11 +$ $\frac{50}{x}$ . Find the range of values of the output $x$ , from which $AC$ is increasing.

Answer:

(a) $C(x) =$ $\frac{1}{3}$ $x^3 +3x^2 -16x + 2$

Marginal cost function

$\frac{dC}{dx}$ $= 3 \times$ $\frac{1}{3}$ $x^2 + 6x-16$

$\Rightarrow$ $\frac{dC}{dx}$ $= x^2 + 6x-16$

Average cost function

$\overline{C}(x) =$ $\frac{\frac{1}{3} x^3 + 3x^2 - 16x + 2}{x}$

$\Rightarrow \overline{C}(x) = \frac{1}{3} x^2 + 3x - 16$

(b) Let $x - 2y + 3 = 0$ be of $x$ on $y$ .

Therefore $x - 2y + 3 = 0 \Rightarrow x = 2y - 3 \Rightarrow b_{xy} = 2$

Similarly, let $4x-5y+1 =0$ be of $y$ on $x$

Therefore $4x-5y+1 = 0 \Rightarrow 5y = 4x+1 \Rightarrow y = \frac{4}{5} x + 1 \Rightarrow b_{yx} =$ $\frac{4}{5}$

Hence correlation $r = \sqrt{b_{xy} . b_{yx}} = \sqrt{2 \times \frac{4}{5}} = 2\sqrt{0.4} = 1.265$

$\frac{dAC}{dx}$ $= 2 - 50x^{-2} = 2 -$ $\frac{50}{x^2}$

Now $\frac{dAC}{dx}$ $\geq 0$

$\Rightarrow 2 -$ $\frac{50}{x^2}$ $\geq 0$

$\Rightarrow$ $\frac{50}{x^2}$ $\leq 2$

$\Rightarrow x \geq 5$

Therefore for $x \geq 5, \ AC$ will keep increasing.

(b) From the given data:

Variable	$x$	$y$

Standard Deviation	4	6

And the correlation coefficient: $\frac{2}{3}$ . Find

(i) Regression coefficients $b_{yx}$ and $b_{xy}$

(ii) Regression line $x$ on $y$

(iii) Most likely value of $x$ when $y = 14$

Answer:

(a)

$x$	$y$	$dx = x-1$	$dy = y-5$	$dx.dy$	$(dx)^2$	$(dy)^2$
1	7	0	2	0	0	4
2	6	1	1	1	1	1
3	5	2	0	0	4	0
4	4	3	-1	-3	9	1
5	3	4	-2	-8	16	4
$\Sigma x \\ = 15$	$\Sigma y \\ = 25$	$\Sigma dx \\ = 10$	$\Sigma dy \\ = 0$	$\Sigma dx.dy \\ = -10$	$\Sigma(dx)^2 \\ = 30$	$\Sigma (dy)^2 \\ = 10$

$r =$ $\frac{n \Sigma xy - \Sigma x . \Sigma y}{\sqrt{ \Big( n \Sigma x^2 - (\Sigma x)^2 \Big) . \Big( n \Sigma y^2 - (\Sigma y)^2 \Big) }}$

$=$ $\frac{10 \times (-10) - 10 \times 0}{\sqrt{\Big( 5 \times 30 - (10)^2 \Big) \Big( 5 \times 10 - (0)^2 \Big) }}$

$=$ $\frac{-50}{\sqrt{50 \times 50}}$ $= -1$

Hence there is high negative correlation between $x$ and $y$ .

$\overline{x} =$ $\frac{15}{5}$ $=3$

$\overline{y} =$ $\frac{25}{5}$ $= 5$

Therefore equation of line: $y - \overline{y} =$ $\frac{\Sigma dx.dy}{\Sigma(dx)^2}$ $(x- \overline{x})$

$\Rightarrow y - 5 =$ $\frac{-10}{30}$ $(x-3)$

When $x = 6$ we get $y - 5=$ $\frac{-10}{30}$ $(6-3)$

$\Rightarrow 3y = 12-6$

$\Rightarrow y =$ $\frac{6}{2}$ $= 2$

Question 21: [4]

(a) A product can be manufactured at a total cost $C(x) =$ $\frac{x^2}{100}$ $+ 100x + 40$ , where $x$ is the number of units produced. The price at which each unit can be sold is given by $P = \Big(200 -$ $\frac{x}{400}$ $\Big)$ . Determine the production level $x$ at which the profit is maximum.What is the price per unit and profit at the level of production.

(b) A manufacturer’s marginal cost function is $\frac{500}{\sqrt{2x + 25}}$ . Find the cost involved to increase production from $100$ units to $300$ units.

Answer:

(a) Total Cost $C(x) =$ $\frac{x^2}{100}$ $+ 100x + 40$

Price $P = \Big(200 -$ $\frac{x}{400}$ $\Big)$

If $x$ units are produced, then

$Profit(x) = x (200-$ $\frac{x}{100}$ $) - ($ $\frac{x^2}{100}$ $+ 100 x + 40 )$

$= 200x -$ $\frac{x^2}{400}$ $-$ $\frac{x^2}{100}$ $- 100x - 40$

$= 100x -$ $\frac{5}{400}$ $x^2 - 40$

For maximizing profits $\frac{dProfit}{dx}$ $= 0$

$\Rightarrow 100 -$ $\frac{10x}{400}$ $= 0$

$\Rightarrow x =$ $\frac{100 \times 400}{100}$ $= 4000$ units.

$P(4000) = 200 -$ $\frac{1000}{400}$ $= 190$ units

(b) $\frac{500}{\sqrt{2x + 25}}$

The cost involved to increase production from $100$ units to $300$ units:

$= \int \limits_{100}^{300}$ $\frac{500}{\sqrt{2x + 25}}$

$= 500 \int \limits_{100}^{300} (2x+25)^{-\frac{1}{2}}$

$= 500 \times$ $\frac{2}{3}$ $(2x+25)^{\frac{3}{2}}$ $|$ $_{100}^{300}$

$=$ $\frac{1000}{3}$ $\Big[ (2 \times 300 + 25)^{\frac{3}{2}} - (2 \times 100 + 25)^{\frac{3}{2}} \Big]$

$=$ $\frac{1000}{3}$ $\Big[ 625^{\frac{3}{2}} - 225^{\frac{3}{2}} \Big]$

$=$ $\frac{1000}{3}$ $\Big[ 25^3 - 15^3 \Big]$

$=$ $\frac{1000}{3}$ $\times 12250 = 4083333$ $\frac{1}{3}$ units

Question 22: A manufacturing company produces two type of teaching aids $A$ and $B$ of Mathematics for Class X. Each type of $A$ requires $9$ hours for fabricating and $1$ hour for finishing. Each type of $B$ requires $12$ hours for fabricating and $3$ hours for finishing. For fabricating and finishing, the maximum labor hours available for a week are $180$ and $30$ respectively. The company makes a profit of $Rs. 80$ on each piece of type $A$ and $Rs. 120$ on each piece of type $B$ . How many pieces of type $A$ and type $B$ should be manufactured per week to get a maximum profit? Formulate this as a linear programming problem and solve it. Identify the feasible region from the rough sketch. [6]

Answer:

Let quantity of teaching aid $Type \ A = x$ and Quantity of teaching aid $Type \ B = y$

Each type of $A$ requires $9$ hours for fabricating and $1$ hour for finishing.

Therefore $9x+12y \leq 180 \Rightarrow 3x + 4y \leq 60$ … … … … … (i)

Each type of $B$ requires $12$ hours for fabricating and $3$ hours for finishing.

Therefore $x+3y \leq 30$ … … … … … (ii)

We know the company makes a profit of $Rs. 80$ on each piece of type $A$ and $Rs. 120$ on each piece of type $B$ .

We also know $x \geq 0, y \geq 0$

Therefore Profit $= 80x + 120 y$ … … … … … (iii)

We need to maximize $(80x + 120 y)$ . We will solve it graphically.

We see that the coordinates of the vertices of the feasible region are $(0, 10), (20, 0) \ and \ (12,6)$ . Now calculate Profit for each of the three coordinates:

For $(0, 10): Profit = 80 \times 0 + 120 \times 10 = 1200 \ Rs.$

For $(20,0): Profit = 80 \times 20 + 120 \times 0 = 1600 \ Rs.$

For $(12,6): Profit = 80 \times 12 + 120 \times 6 = 1680 \ Rs.$

Therefore, the quantity of teaching aid $Type \ A = 12$ and Quantity of teaching aid $Type \ 6 = y$
