Answer:
Questions number 19 and 20 are Assertion and Reason based questions carrying 1 mark each. Two statements are given, one labelled Assertion (A) and the other labelled Reason (R). Select the correct answer from the codes (a), (b), (c) and (d) as given below.
(a) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of the Assertion (A).
(b) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of the Assertion (A).
(c) Assertion (A) is true and Reason (R) is false.
(d) Assertion (A) is false and Reason (R) is true.
Answer:
Given Assertion is true and Reason is correct explanation of Assertion.
Answer:
Assertion is not true for all trigonometric function.
Domain of is
but
is not defined on
This implies Reason is true inverse exist for some
SECTION B
This section comprises very short answer (VSA) type questions of 2 marks each.
Answer:
Differentiate above function w.r.t
OR
Answer:
OR
(b)
Answer:
Answer:
Derivative of given equation w.r.t
Derivative of given equation w.r.t
OR
Answer:
(a)
Let the cartesian equation of the line passing through be
Since, line (i) is perpendicular to given lines
From equation (iv) and (v).
which is the cartesian form The vector form is
OR
(b)
Given equations of a line is
Let us first convert the equation in standard form
Now equation (i) becomes
Comparing the above equation with Equation (ii) we get (6, 2, -3) are the direction ratios of the given line. Now the direction cosine of the given line are
SECTION C
This section comprises short answer (SA) type questions of 3 marks each.
Answer:
On comparing, we get
On solving Equation (i), (ii) and (iii) we get

(b)
SECTION E
This section comprises 3 case study based questions of 4 marks each.
Question 36: A building contractor undertakes a job to construct 4 flats on a plot along with parking area. Due to strike, the probability of many construction workers not being present for the job is The probability that many are not present and still the work gets completed on time is
The probability that work will be completed on time when all workers are present is
Let :
represent the event when many workers were not present for the job;
represent the event when all workers were present; and
represent completing the construction work on time.
Based on the above information, answer the following questions :
(i) What is the probability that all the workers are present for the job ?
(ii) What is the probability that construction will be completed on time ?
(iii)
(a) What is the probability that many workers are not present given that the construction work is completed on time ?
OR
(b) What is the probability that all workers were present given that the construction job was completed on time ?
Answer:
(a)
Given that:
represent the event when many workers were not present for the job;
represent the event when all workers were present; and
represent completing the construction work on time.
(iii)
OR

LHS
RHS
Question 38:
Sooraj’s father wants to construct a rectangular garden using a brick wall on one side of the garden and wire fencing for the other three sides as shown in the figure. He has 200 meters of fencing wire.

Based on the above information, answer the following questions :
(i) Let meters denote the length of the side of the garden perpendicular to the brick wall and
meters denotes the length of the side parallel to the brick wall. Determine the relation representing the total length of fencing wire and also write
the area of the garden.
