(c) 5512
Explanation:
P(E) = 2580, for the event E “student, is a girl”
P(F) = 1080, for the event F “student is rich”

∴ Req = P(E) × P(F) × P(G)

P(G) = 2080 for the event G “student is fair complexioned”

= 2580×1080×2080
= 5512
as E, F, G are independent events.

 Section – B (10 Marks)
This section comprises very short answer type-questions (VSA) of 2 marks.

Question 21.
Write the domain and the range of (A) cos-1 (B) cot-1.
OR
Prove that, sec2 (tan-12) + cosec2 (cot-13) = 15. [2]
Solution:

Question 22.
Using determinants, find the value of ‘a’. So, points (a, 2), (1, 5), and (2, 4) are collinear.
OR
If f(x) = ∣∣∣∣0x+ax+bx−a0x+cx−bx−c0∣∣∣∣, then find the value of f(0). [2]
Solution:
Here, ∆ = 12∣∣∣∣a12254111∣∣∣∣
= 12 [a(5 – 4) – 2(1 – 2) + 1(4 – 10)]
= 12 [a + 2 – 6]
= 12 [a – 4]
Given that the points (a, 2) (1, 5), and (2, 4) are collinear

⇒ 12 (a – 4) = 0
∆=0

⇒a=4
Expanding along R1
f(0) = 0(0 + c2) + a(0 + bc) – b(ac – 0)
= abc – acb
=0

Question 23.
Find the least value of ‘a’ such that the function f defined as, f(x) = x2 + ax + 1 is strictly
increasing on (1, 2). [2]
Solution:

⇒ f'(x) = 2x + a
Given, f(x) = x2 + ax + 1

For 1 < x < 2,

⇒ 2 + a < f'(x) < 4 + a

2 + a < 2x + a < 4 + a

Now, f(x) is strictly increasing on (1, 2) only if f'(x) > 0 for 1 < x < 2,
i.e. if 2 + a ≥ 0, i.e. a ≥ -2
Thus, the least value of a is -2.

Question 24.

Section – C (18 Marks)

This section comprises short answer type questions (SA) of 3 marks.
Question 26.
Consider a function f: [0,π2] → R given by, f(x) = sin x and g: [0,π2] → R given by g(x) =
cos x. Show that, both f and g are one-one, but f + g is not one-one. [3]
Solution:
f is one-one
Let x, y be any two elements in [0,π2]. then

⇒ sin x ≠ sin y
x≠y

⇒ f(x) ≠ f(y)
Thus, f is one-one.
g is one-one

⇒ cos x ≠ cos y
x≠y

⇒ g(x) ≠ g(y)
Thus, g is one-one.
f + g is not one-one
(f + g)(0) = f(0) + g(0)
= sin 0 + cos 0
=0+1
=1
(f+g)(π2)=f(π2)+g(π2)
sinπ2+cosπ2
=1+0

∴ (f + g)(0) = (f + g) (π2) even when 0 ≠ 4

=1

So, f + g is not one-one.

Question 27.
If x1+y−−−−√+y1+x−−−−−√=0 {-1 ≤ x ≤ 1}, then prove that
dydx=−1(1+x)2. [3]
Solution:
x1+y−−−−√+y1+x−−−−−√=0
⇒ x1+y−−−−√=−y1+x−−−−−√
⇒ x2(1 + y) = y2(1 + x)
⇒ x2 + x2y = y2 + xy2
⇒ x2 – y2 + xy(x – y) = 0
⇒ (x – y) (x + y) + xy(x – y) = 0
⇒ (x – y) (x + y + xy) = 0
⇒ x + y + xy = 0 (∵ x ≠ y)
⇒ y = −x1+x
⇒ dydx=−(1+x)⋅1−x(1)(1+x)2 = −1(1+x)2
Question 28.

Question 30.

read both Hindi and English newspapers. A student is selected at random.

OR
A 5 m long ladder is leaned up against a wall. At a rate of 2 cm/s, the ladder’s bottom is drawn
away from the wall along the ground. How quickly does the height on the wall drop when the
ladder’s foot is 4 cm from the wall?
Solution:
OR
Let y m be the height of the wall at which the ladder touches. Also, let the foot of the ladder be x
m away from the wall.
Then, by Pythagoras’ theorem, we have:

⇒ y = 25−x2−−−−−−√
x2 + y2 = 25 [Length of the ladder = 5m]

Then, the rate of change of height (y) with respect to time (t) is given by,
dydt=−x25−x2√⋅dxdt
It is given that dxdt = 2 cm/s
dydt=−2x25−x2√
Now, when x = 4m, we have:
dydt=−2×425−42√=−83
Hence, the height of the ladder on the wall is decreasing at the rate of 83 cm/s.

Section – D (20 Marks)

This section comprises tong answer-type questions (LA) of 5 marks.

Question 32.
For the matrix A = [214−3], verify that (A-1)’ = (A’)-1

the volume of the sphere.
OR

or decreasing. Given that the domain of the function is [2, ∞). [5]
Solution:

Let r and h be the radius of the base and height of the inscribed cone respectively.
Question 34.
Discuss the differentiability of the function f(x) = |x – 1| + |x – 2|. [5]
Solution:
Question 35.
(A) The sides of an equilateral triangle are increasing at the rate of 2 cm/sec. Find the rate at
which the area increases when the side is 10 cm.
(B) Show that, the function f(x) = x3 – 3x2 + 6x – 100 is increasing on R. [5]
Solution:
(A) Let ‘a’ be the side of an equilateral triangle
and A be the area of an equilateral triangle.
Then, dadt = 2 cm/sec
We know that area of an equilateral triangle
A = 3√4a2
On differentiating both sides w.r.t ‘t’, we get,
dAdt=3√4×2a×dadt
dAdt=3√4×2×10×2 (Given a = 10)
= 10√3 cm2/sec
Hence, the area is increasing at the rate of 20√3 cm2/sec
(B) Given: f(x) = x3 – 3x2 + 6x – 100
On differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get
f'(x) = 3x2 – 6x + 6
= 3x2 – 6x + 3 + 3
= 3(x2 – 2x + 1) + 3

∴ f'(x) > 0
= 3(x – 1)2 + 3 > 0

This shows that function f(x) is increasing on R.

Section – E (12 Marks)

This section comprises of 3 case-study/passage-based questions of 4 marks each with two sub-
part. First, two case-study questions have three sub-parts (A), (B), (C) of marks 1, 1, 2
respectively. The third case-study question has two subparts of 2 marks.

Question 36.
Jyoti CNC is the largest CNC (Computer numerical control) machine manufacturing company in
India. Their unit in Bhubaneswar, Odisha has three machine operators A, B, and C. The
operators supervise the machines while they execute the tasks and make any necessary
adjustments to produce a better result. Their main focus is to minimize defects as it increases the
cost of operations. The first operator A produces 1% defective items, whereas the other two
operators B and C produce 5% and 7% defective items respectively.

Based on the above information, answer the following questions:

(A) What is the probability that the item produced by operator C is defective? [1]
(B) What is the total probability of producing a defective item in the factory? [1]
(C) What is the Conditional probability that the defective item is produced by operator A?
OR
The factory in charge wants to do a quality check. During the inspection, he picks an item from
the stockpile at random. If the chosen item is defective, the. What is the probability that it is not
produced by operator C? [2]
Solution:
Let A: A is on the job;
B: B is on the job;
C: C is on the job
D: The item is defective
P(A) = 50% = 0.5;
P(B) = 30% = 0.3;
P(C) = 20% = 0.2
P(DA) = 1% = 0.01
P(DB) = 5% = 0.05
P(DC) = 7% = 0.07
(A) (a) P(DC)=7%=7100
(B) P(D) = P(A) P(DA) + P(B) P(DB) + P(C) P(DC)
= 0.5 × 0.01 + 0.3 × 0.05 + 0.2 × 0.07
= 0.005 + 0.015 + 0.014
= 0.034

Question 37.
One very useful application of Linear programming is using a graphical method for solving
problems with two variables. Mrs. Meena Wanted to use that concept to help students figure out
how the area of the 3D model is composed of 3 straight lines.
In the below diagram (cross-section of the 3D model), O is the origin. The shaded region R is
defined by three inequalities. One of the inequality is x + y ≤ 6.
Based on the above information, answer the following questions:
(A) Given that the point (x, y) is in the region R. What is the maximum value of x + 2y? [1]
(B) Given that the point (x, y) is in the region R, then find the minimum value of 6x – y. [1]
(C) Find the other two inequalities plotted on the graph?
OR
What is the area of the region R? [2]
Solution:
(A) Corner points of R are (4, 2), (2, 1), and (2, 4).
Z = x + 2y
Z(4, 2) = 4 + 2 × 2 = 4 + 4 = 8
Z(2, 1) = 2 + 2 × 1 = 2 + 2 = 4
Z(2, 4) = 2 + 2 × 4 = 2 + 8 = 10
Hence, the maximum value of (x + 2y) is 10.
(B) Corner points of R are (4, 2), (2, 1), and (2, 4).
Z = 6x – y
Z(4, 2) = 6 × 2 – 2 = 2
Z(2, 1) = 6 × 2 – 1 = 11
Z(2, 4) = 6 × 2 – 4 = 8
Hence, the minimum value of (6x – y) is 8.
(C)
Line 1: This Line is parallel to the y-axis and touches the x-axis at point x = 2.
So, the equation of this line is x = 2 or x – 2 = 0.
Since the feasible region R Lies to the right side of x = 1, this inequality is x ≥ 2.

∴ equation of this line is x = 2y or x – 2y = 0

Line 2: For every point tying on line 2, the x-coordinates are double the y-coordinate.

Since, (3, 2) lies in region R, substituting (3, 2) in x – 2y = 0, we get

∴ Inequality of x = 2y is x – 2y ≤ 0 or x ≤ 2y.
3 – 2(2) = 3 – 4 = -1 ≤ 0

Hence, x ≥ 2 and or x ≤ 2y are the other two inequalities.

OR
Corner points of R are (4, 2), (2, 1), and (2, 4)
The area of a triangle with coordinates (4, 2), (2, 1), and (2, 4) is given as,
A = 12 |4(1 – 4) + 2(4 – 2) + 2(2 – 1)|
= 12 |-12 + 4 + 2|
= 12 × 6
= 3 sq. unit

Question 38.
The order of a differential equation is the order of the highest derivative occurring in the
differential equation. The degree of a differential equation whose terms are polynomials in the
derivatives is defined as the highest power of the highest-order derivative in it.

order linear differential equation. It has various applications, such as in RL circuits.
