Question 17.
Insert 3 geometric means between -4 and 64.
Answer:
Let g1, g2, g3 are G.Ms. ∴ -4. g1, g2, g3, -64 are in G.P.
Here a = -4, ar4 = -64 ⇒ r4 = \(\frac{-64}{-4}\) = 16 = 24 ⇒ r = 2
the 3 G.Ms are g1 = ar = -8; g2 = ar2 = -16; g3 = ar3 = -32

Question 18.
Solve by formula method : 5x2 – 7x – 12 = 0
Answer:
x = \(\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a}\)
a = 5, b = -7, c = -12.
x = \(\frac{7 \pm \sqrt{(-7)^{2}-4(5)(-12)}}{10}=\frac{7 \pm \sqrt{49+240}}{10}=\frac{7 \pm \sqrt{289}}{10}=\frac{7 \pm \sqrt{17^{2}}}{10}=\frac{7 \pm 17}{10}\)
∴ x = \(\frac{12}{5}\), -1

Question 20.
What sum will amount to ₹ 46,000 in 7 years at 12% p.a. SI?
Answer:
A = P(1 + \(\frac{\mathrm{TR}}{100}\))
P = \(\frac{A}{\left(1+\frac{T R}{100}\right)}=\frac{46,000}{\left(1+\frac{7 \times 12}{100}\right)}\) = ₹ 25,000

Question 21.
The average height of a group of people is 6 ft. 10 more people with an average height of 5 ft. join the group. Find the average height of the new group of 60 people.
Answer:
Total height of 50 people = 50 × 6 = 3 00
Total height of 10 people = 10 × 5 = 50
Total height of 60 people = 300 + 50 = 350
Hence new average = \(\frac{350}{60}\) = 5.83 ft.

Question 22.
While taking measurement, a tailor writes 34 instead of 24. What is the percentage error?

Answer:
m1 = \(\frac{-a}{b}=\frac{2}{3}\)
m2 = \(\frac{-1}{K}\).
∵ lines are perpendicular .. m1 × m, = -1
⇒ \(\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{-1}{\mathrm{k}}\) = -1
⇒ \(\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{-1}{k}\) = -1
⇒ k = \(\frac{2}{3}\)

(i) fog(1) (ii) gof(1) and (iii) fof(2)
Answer:
(i) fog(1) = f(g(1)) = f(1 + 1) = f(2) = 22 = 4.
(ii) gof(1) = g(f(1)) = g(12) = g(1) = 1 + 1 = 2
(iii) fof(2) = f(f(2)) f(22) = f(4) = 42 = 16

Question 28.
If A = {1, 2, 3, 4}, B = {3, 4, 5, 6}, C = {4, 5, 6, 7, 8}, then verify Au(BnC) = (Au B)n(AuC)
Answer:
A∪ B = {1, 2, 3,4, 5, 6}
A∪ C = {1, 2,3,4, 5, 6, 7, 8}
B∩ C= {4,5, 6}
A∪(B∩C) = [1,2,3,4,5,6] = LHS
(A∪B)∩(A∪C) = {1,2,3,4,5,6} = RHS
∴ LHS = RHS

Question 29.
If x = log, 9, y = log, 7, z = log, 4 then show that xyz = 2.
Answer:
LHS = xyz = \(\frac{\log 9}{\log 2} \times \frac{\log 7}{\log 9} \times \frac{\log 4}{\log 7}=\frac{\log 2^{2}}{\log 2}=2 \frac{\log 2}{\log 2}\) = 2 = RHS

The sum of 3 numbers in an AP is 15 and their product is 105. Find the numbers.
Answer:
Let the 3 numbers be (a – b), a, (a + d)
Given sum =15
⇒ a – d + a + a + d = 15
⇒ 3a = 15
⇒ a = 5
Product =105
⇒ (a-d)(a)(a + d) = 105
⇒ d = ±2
∴ The three numbers are 3, 5, 7

Question 33.
The cost of a refrigerator is ₹ 27,000. If it depreciates at the rate of 8% p.a., find its value after 4 years.
Answer:
A = 27,000(1 -0.08)4 = 27,000(0.02)4= ₹19,342.61
Refrigerators value after 4 years = 19,342.61

Question 34.
10 years ago, the average age of a family of 4 was 24 years. 2 children have been born and the average age remains the same. What are the present ages of the 2 children if their ages differ by 2 years?
Answer:
Let the total age of 4 members = 96 = 4 × 24
After 10 years total age of 4 = 96 + 40 = 136
Let Ages of 2 children x & x + 2.
∴ Total age of 6 = 136 + x + x + 2 = 138 + 2x
Given average age = 24 ⇒ \(\frac{138+2 x}{6}\) = 24 ⇒ x = 3
∴ Ages of 2 children = 3 & 5 years

Question 35.
Ritu’s salary was increased by 10% and then again by 5%. If the present salary is ₹ 9,240, then what was her previous salary?
Answer:
Let the original salary – x
With 10% increase, salary = x + 0.1x = 1.1x
with 5% increase, salary = 1.155x
1.155x = 9240
⇒ x = \(\frac{9240}{1.155}\) = ₹ 8,000

Question 36.
If cosecθ = and 90° < θ < 1800, then prove that \(\frac{4 \sin \theta-7 \cos \theta}{3 \sin \theta+2 \cos \theta}\) = 40
Answer:
sinθ = \(\frac{3}{5}\) cosθ = \(\frac{-4}{5}\)
(∵ in II quadrant cosθ is negative)
LHS = \(\frac{4 \sin \theta-7 \cos \theta}{3 \sin \theta+2 \cos \theta}=\frac{4 \cdot \frac{3}{5}-7\left(-\frac{4}{5}\right)}{3 \cdot \frac{3}{5}+2 \cdot\left(\frac{-4}{5}\right)}=\frac{\frac{12}{2}+\frac{28}{5}}{\frac{9}{5}-\frac{8}{5}}=\frac{\frac{40}{5}}{\frac{1}{5}}\) = 40 = RHS

n(A∪B) = 50-15 = 35
n(A ∩ B) = n(A) + n(B) – n(A ∪ B)
n(A∩B) = 25 + 20-35 = 10

Question 40.
Evaluate using log tables : \(\frac{5.634 \times 25.64}{12.72}\)
Answer:
logx = log\(\left(\frac{5.634 \times 25.64}{12.72}\right)\)

Question 42.
A certain two-digit number is 4 times the sum of the digits. If 18 is added to the number, the digits get interchanged. Find the number.
Answer:
Let x be in 10th place, y in units place
∴ the number = 10x + y
Given 10x + y = 4 (x + y)
⇒ y = 2x…………………(1)
Also 10x + y + 18 = 10y + x
⇒ x + 2 = y……………….(2)
Solving (1) and (2) we get
2x = x + 2 ⇒ x = 2
∴ x = 2 & y = 4
Hence required number = 24.

Question 43.
Find the Cl on ₹ 7500 at 14% for 14 years while interest is calculated half-yearly.
Answer:
Effective rate of interest = r = \(\left(1+\frac{0.14}{2}\right)^{2}\) – 1 = 15%
∴ C.I = A-P = 7500(1 + 0.15)4 – 7500 = ₹5617.5

Question 44.
Find the future value of an annuity of ₹ 5000 12% p.a for 6 years.
Answer:
Future value of an annuity = F = \(\frac{A\left((1+i)^{n}-1\right)}{i}\)

Question 45.
A radio is sold at a profit of 25% cost price and selling price are both increased by 100. If the new profit is at the rate of 20%, find the original cost of the radio, i.
Answer:
Let the original cost price be x
I: Profit = 25% SP = 1.25x
II: C.P. = 100 + x then SP= 1.25x + 100 ………(1)
Profit = 20%
S.P = (100 + x) + 0.2(100 + x) ……………..(2)
From 1 & 2 we get
1.25x + 100 = 100 + x + 20 + 0.2x
Solving we get x = ₹ 400 = original cost of the radio.

Question 47.
Find the area of a quadrilateral whose vertices are (1,2), (6,2), (5,3), and (3,4) taken in as order.
Answer:
Area of a quadrilateral = Area of ∆ABC + Area of ∆ACD
1st PUC Basic Maths Previous Year Question Paper March 2015 (North) 7
Area of ∆ABC = \(\frac{1}{2}\)Σx1 (y2 – y3) = \(\frac{5}{2}\) sq. units
Area of ∆ACD = 3 units
∴ Area of ∆BCD = \(\frac{5}{2}\) + 3 = \(\frac{11}{2}\)sq. units

Question 48.
Find the equation of a line through he intersection of the lines x – y + 2 = 0, 3x + 2y = 9 and parallel to the line 2x + y – 3.
Answer:
The point of intersection of the lines x -y + 2 = 0, 3x + 2y = 9 is (1, 3)
Any line parallel to the given line 2x + y = 3 is of the form 2x + y + k – 0
But this line passes through the point (1, 3)
2(1) + 3 + k = 0
∴ k = -5
Required equation of the line is 2x + y – 5 = 0

Question 49.
(a) Find the equation to the locus of a point moving in a plane such that it is equidistant from (-1, 1) and (4, 2). 4
Answer:
Let P(x, y) be the point on the locus
Given PA = PB where A = (-1, 1) B = (4, 2)
PA2 = PB2
(x + 1)2 + (y – 1)2 = (x – 4)2 + (y – 2)2
x2 + 2x +1 + y2 – 2y + 1 = x2 +16 – 8x + y2 + 4 – 4y
10x – 6y = 18 or 5x – 3y = 9 is the required equation of the locus.

Question 50.
(a) A firm finds that the production cost directly attributed to each product is 25 and fixed costs are 10,000. If each product can be sold for 35, find the
(i) cost function (ii) revenue function
(iii) profit function (iv) break-even level of output.
Answer:
V.C. = ₹ 125 , F.C. = ₹ 10,000, price = ₹ 35
(i) cost function = C(x) = 10,000 + 25x
(ii) Revenue function = R(x) = P × x = 35x
(iii) Profit function = TR – TC = 35x – 10,000 – 25 = 10x – 10,000.

At B.E. level of output T.R. = T.C.
35x = 10,000 + 25x
10x = 10,000

=(10 – 1) + (100 – 1) + (1000 – 1) +……….. to n terms
= (10 + 100 + 1000 +………… to n terms) – (1 + 1 + 1………. to n ternis)
= \(\frac{10\left(10^{n}-1\right)}{9}\) – 1 × n
S = \(\frac{5}{9}\left[\frac{10\left(10^{n}-1\right)}{9}-n\right]\)

Answer:
Given H = 16, L = 160, a = 64, b = ?
H × L = a × b
b = \(\frac{H \times L}{a}=\frac{16 \times 160}{64}\) =40
∴ the other number is 40.
