Question 8:
(a) An urn contains 2 white and 2 black balls. A ball is drawn at random. If it is white, it is not replaced into the urn. Otherwise, it is replaced with another ball of the same color. The process is repeated. Find the probability that the third ball drawn is black. [5]
(b) Three person shoot to hit a target. If
hits the target 4 times out of 5 trials,
hits it 3 times in 4 trials and
hits is 2 times in 3 trials, find the probability that:
(i) Exactly two person hit the target.
(ii) At least two person hit the target.
(iii) Non hit the target. [5]
Answer:
(a) Please note: The number of balls in the urn change based on what color is drawn.
Every time you get a Black ball, not only the ball is put back in the urn, another black ball is put in the urn. So the number of balls increase every time you pull a black ball.
In case you draw a white ball, it is not put back in the urn. So the number of balls decrease when you pull white ball.
Therefore the probability that the third ball is black is:
(i) Probability of at least two hitting the target
(ii) At least two people hit the target
(iii) None hit the target
Question 9:
(b) Solve the differential equation:
Answer:
… … … … … (i)
Now we know that the equation of a circle with center and radius
is of the form
Therefore (i) can be written as
Substitute
and
we get
Section – B (20 Marks)
Question 10:
(a) Using vectors, prove that an angle in a semicircle is a right angle. [5]
(b) Find the volume of a parallelopiped whose edges are represented by the vectors: [5]
Answer:
(a) In the adjoining diagram, we have a circle with center (origin) and the vertices of the triangle are
and
is the diameter.
Let
Therefore
(since
is the radius)
Therefore is a right angle.
(b) The volume of a parallelopiped:
Question 11:
(a) Find the equation of the plane passing through the intersection of the planes and
and the point
. [5]
(b) Find the shortest distance between the lines and
[5]
Answer:
(a) Given planes and
and the point
The equation of a line passing through the intersection of the plans is given as
Hence the equation of line will be
(b)
Hence the shortest distance units
Question 12:
(a) contains
white and
black balls.
contains
white and
black balls and
contains
white and
black balls. A dice having
red,
yellow and
green face, is thrown to select a box. If red face turns up we pick
, if yellow face turns up we pick
otherwise we pick
. The we draw a ball from a selected box. If the ball drawn is white, what is the probability that the dice had turned up with a Red face. [5]
(b) 5 dices are thrown simultaneously. If the occurrence of an odd number in a single die is considered a success, find the probability of maximum three successes. [5]
Answer:
Let D be the probability of drawing a White ball. Therefore
Therefore the probability of white ball drawn when red face show up:
(b) Number of dice
Section – C (20 Marks)
Question 13:
(a) Mr. Nirav borrowed from the bank for
years. The rate of interest is
per annum compounded monthly. Find the payment he makes if he pays back at the beginning of each month. [5]
(b) A dietitian wishes to mix two kinds of food and
in such a way that the mixture contains at least
units of vitamin
,
units of vitamin
and
units of vitamin
. The vitamin contents of one kg of food is given below:
Food | Vitamin A | Vitamin B | Vitamin C |
X | 1 unit | 2 units | 3 units |
Y | 2 units | 2 units | 1 unit |
One kg of food costs
and one kg of food
costs
. Using linear programming, find the least cost of the total mixture which will contain the required vitamins. [5]
Answer:
(a) Principal
Annual rate of interest Monthly rate of interest
Hence monthly installment
(b) Let us say we have kgs of food
and
kgs of food
.
Therefore we have the following inequations:
Now lets plot these lines. We got the following graph
We have to minimize
Hence the four point of intersection from the graph are:
Hence, the should be bought.
Question 14:
(a) A bill of was drawn on 8th March 2013, at
months. It was discounted on 18th May, 2013 and the holder of the bill received
. What is the rate of interest charged by the bank? [5]
(b) The average cost function, for a commodity is given by
in terms of output
. Find:
(i) The total cost, and marginal cost,
as a function of
(ii) The outputs for which increases. [5]
Answer:
(a) Face value of the bill
Discounted value of the bill
Banker’s discount
Nominal date due is 8th October
Legal due date of the bill is 11th October (3 days of grace period)
Number of unexpired days from 8th May to 11th October is 146 days
Banker’s discount
(b)
Case 1:
Case 2:
But cannot be negative. Therefore
Hence the average cost function increase if the output
