Q. 16 Three chairs and two tables cost ₹ 1850. Five chairs and three tables cost ₹2850. Find
the cost of four chairs and one table by using matrices
Ans. Let the cost of 1 chair and 1 table be ₹ x and ₹ y respectively.
According to the first condition,
3x + 2y = 1850
According to the second condition,
5x + 3y = 2850
Matrix form of the above system of equations is

∴ By equality of matrices, we get

3x + 2y = 1850 .......(i)
−y = −700
Substituting y = 700 in equation (i), we get
3x + 2(700) = 1850
∴ 3x = 450
∴ x = 150
∴ The cost of four chairs = 4 × 150 = ₹ 600
∴ The cost of four chairs and one table is ₹ 600 + ₹ 700 = ₹ 1300.

Q. 17

Q. 18 If the angles A, B, C of ΔABC are in A.P. and its sides a, b, c are in G.P., then show that
a2, b2, c2 are in A.P.
Ans. A, B, C are in A.P.
∴ A + C = 2B
We know that A + B + C = 180°
∴ 2B + B = 180°
∴ 3B = 180°
∴ ∠B = 60° .......(i)
Also, it is given that sides a, b, c are in G.P.
∴ ac = b2 .......(ii)
∴ b2 = a2 + c2 – b2
∴ a2 + c2 = 2b2
∴ a2, b2, c2 are in A.P.
Q. 19

Ans.

Q. 20 The probability that a person who undergoes a kidney operation will be recovered is
0.5. Find the probability that out of 6 patients who undergo similar operation none will
recover
Ans. Let X denote the number of patients recovered.
P(patient recovers) = p = 0.5
∴ q = 1 – p = 1 – 0.5 = 0.5
Given, n = 6
∴ X ~ B(6, 0.5)
The p.m.f. of X is given by
P(X = x) = 6Cx (0.5)x (0.5)6–x, x = 0, 1, …, 6
P(none will recover) = P(X = 0)
= 6C0 (0.5)0 (0.5)6
= `1/2^6

Q. 21

Q. 26
Ans. The plane passes through the point A(7, 8, 6).
∴ x1 = 7, y1 = 8, z1 = 6

Direction ratios of normal vector will be a = 6, b = 8, c = 7.

Equation of a plane in Cartesian form is
a(x − x1) + b(y − y1) + c(z − z1) = 0
∴ 6(x − 7) + 8(y − 8) + 7(z − 6) = 0
∴ 6x − 42 + 8y − 64 + 7z − 42 = 0
∴ 6x + 8y + 7z = 42 + 42 + 64
∴ 6x + 8y + 7z = 148

Q. 27 | Attempt any Five:

The following is the c.d.f. of r.v. X:
X −3 −2 −1 0 1 2 3 4
F(X) 0.1 0.3 0.5 0.65 0.75 0.85 0.9 1
Find p.m.f. of X.
i. P(–1 ≤ X ≤ 2)
ii. P(X ≤ 3 / X > 0).
Ans. From the given table
F(−3)= 0.1, F(−2) = 0.3, F(−1) = 0.5
F(0) = 0.65, f(1) = 0.75, F(2) = 0.85
F(3) = 0.9, F(4) = 1
P(X =−3) = F(−3) = 0.1
P(X= −2)= F(− 2) − F(−3) = 0.3 − 0.1 = 0.2
P(X= −1) = F(−1) − F(−2) = 0.5 − 0.3 = 0.2
P(X = 0) = F(0) − F(−1) = 0.65 − 0.5 = 0.15
P(X = 1) = F(1) − F(0) = 0.75 − 0.65 = 0.1
P(X = 2) = F(2) − F(1) = 0.85 − 0.75 = 0.1
P(X = 3) = F(3) − F(2) = 0.9 − 0.85 = 0.05
P(X = 4) = F(4) − F(3) = 1 − 0.9 = 0.1
∴ The probability distribution of X is as follows:

X=x −3 −2 −1 0 1 2 3 4
P(X = x) 0.1 0.2 0.2 0.15 0.1 0.1 00.5 0.1

i. P(–1 ≤ X ≤ 2)
= P(X = –1 or X = 0 or X = 1 or X = 2)
= P(X = –1) + P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)
= 0.2 + 0.15 + 0.1 + 0.1
= 0.55
ii. P(X ≤ 3 / X > 0)

Q. 28 Show that the combined equation of pair of lines passing through the origin is a
homogeneous equation of degree 2 in x and y. Hence find the combined equation of the
lines 2x + 3y = 0 and x − 2y = 0
Ans.
Let a1x + b1y = 0 and a2x + b2y = 0 be a pair of lines passing through the origin.
∴ Their combined equation is (a1x + b1y)(a2x + b2y) = 0
∴ a1a2x2 + a1b2xy + b1a2xy + b1b2y2 = 0
∴ (a1a2)x2 + (a1b2 + a2b1)xy + (b1b2)y2 = 0
In this if we put a1a2 = a, a1b2 + a2b1 = 2h, b1b2 = b, We get ax2 + 2hxy + by2 = 0 which is a
homogeneous equation of degree 2 in x and y.
Now, on comparing 2x + 3y = 0 and x − 2y = 0 with a1x + b1y = 0 and a2x + b2y = 0,
we get a1 = 2, b1 = 3, a2 = 1 and b2 = −2
Substituting in equation (i), we get
2(1)x2 + [2(−2) + 1(3)]xy + 3(−2)y2 = 0
i.e., 2x2 − xy − 6y2 = 0,
Which is the required combined equation.
Q. 29

Differentiating w. r. t. x, we get

Q. 30 A man of height 180 cm is moving away from a lamp post at the rate of 1.2 meters per
second. If the height of the lamp post is 4.5 meters, find the rate at which
(i) his shadow is lengthening
(ii) the tip of the shadow is moving
Ans. Let OA be the lamp post, MN be the man, MB = x be the length of the shadow and OM =
y be the distance of the man from the lamp post at time t.
Then,

∴ 4.5x = 1.8x + 1.8y

∴ 2.7x = 1.8y

(ii) B is the tip of the shadow and it is at a distance of (x + y) from the lamp post.
= 2 m/sec
Thus, the shadow is lengthening at the rate of 0.8 m/sec and its tip is moving at the rate of
2 m/sec.

Q. 31

Ans.
Putting t = 1 in (i), we get
2 + 3 = A(1 + 1) + (B + C)(3 + 2)
∴ 5 = 2A + 5(B + C)
Q. 32

Ans.
∴ 3x + 4 = A(4x + 2) + B
∴ 3x + 4 = 4Ax + 2A + B
By equating the coefficients on both sides, we get
4A = 3 and 2A + B = 4
Q. 33 A(– 2, 3, 4), B(1, 1, 2) and C(4, –1, 0) are three points. Find the Cartesian equations of
the line AB and show that points A, B, C are collinear
Ans. We find the cartesian equations of the line AB.
The cartesian equations of the line passing through the points (x1, y1, z1) and (x2, y2, z2) are

Here, (x1, y1, z1) ≡ (−2, 3, 4) and (x2, y2, z2) ≡ (4, −1, 0)
∴ The required cartesian equations of the line AB are

C = (4, −1, 0)

∴ Coordinates of C satisfy the equations of the line AB.

∴ C lies on the line passing through A and B.
Hence, A, B, C are collinear.
