given below.

ONE - NATION

ONE - ELECTION

FESTIVAL OF DEMOCRACY

A general election of Lok Sabha is a gigantic exercise. About 911 million people
were eligible to vote and voter turnout was about 67%, the highest ever.

Let I be the set of all citizens of India who were eligible to exercise their voting right
in general election held in 2019. A relation ‘R’ is defined on I as follows.

R  (V1 , V2 ) : V1 , V2  I and both use their voting right in general election - 2019 .

(i) Two friends X and Y  I .

X and Y both exercised their voting right in the general election - 2019.

Then, state if (X, Y)  R is true or not. Give reason.

(ii) Mr. ‘H’ and his wife ‘W’ both exercised their voting right in general election
- 2019. Then, state if the following statement is true or not. Give reason.

“If (H, W)  R then, we may or may not have (W, H)  R .”

 (iii) Check if R is reflexive or, symmetric. Give reasons to support your answer.
OR

(iii) Mr. Ghanshyam exercised his voting right in general election - 2019.

While his brother (having voting right), Mr. Radheshyam went to have fun at a
nearby mall. Can we have (Ghanshyam, Radheshyam)  R ? Give reason.

If Miss. Radhika (having voting right) goes with Mr. Radheshyam to the mall
skipping the voting exercise, then is it correct to say
(Radhika, Radheshyam)  R ? Give reason.

37. CASE STUDY II : Read the following passage and answer the questions given
below.

Utkarsh was doing a survey on a school. Theme of the survey was ‘the
average number of hours spent on study’ by students selected at random. At
the end of survey, he prepared the following report related to the data.

Let X denotes the average number of hours spent on study by students. The
probability that X can take the values x, has the following form, where k is some
constant.

1 hour?

(iii) What is the probability that the average study time to students is at least 3
hours?
 What is the probability that the average study time of students is exactly 2
hours?

OR

(iii) What is the probability that the average study time of students is at least 1 hour?

38. CASE STUDY III : Read the following passage and answer the questions given
below.

A mobile company in a town has 500 subscribers on its list and collects fixed
charges of ` 300/- per subscriber per year.

The company proposes to increase the annual subscription and it is believed

that for every increase of ` 1/-, one subscriber will discontinue the service of
this company.

(i) If the mobile company increases ` x/-, then obtain the function R(x) , which
represents the earning of the company. Also, find R (x) .

(ii) What increase will bring maximum earning for the company? Use second
derivative test.
