∴ Age of the 10th students = 60 – 52 = 8yrs.

Question 22.
The difference between the cost price and the selling price is Rs. 225. If the profit percentage is 15% find the selling price.
Answer:
Let the cost price be x
As there is profit SP > CP
SPx + 225
SP = \(\frac{100+\text { Profit } \%}{100}\) × CP
x + 225 = \(\left(\frac{100+15}{100}\right)\)x
100x + 22500 = 100x + 15x
15x = 22500
x = = 1500
SP = x + 225 = 1500+225 = 1725

Question 23.
Prove that cotθ + tanθ = secθ cosecθ.
Answer:
LHS = \(\frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta}+\frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}=\frac{\cos ^{2} \theta+\sin ^{2} \theta}{\sin \theta \cos \theta}=\frac{1}{\sin \theta \cdot \cos \theta}\) = cosecθ sec θ = RHS

Question 24.
IfA, B, C are angles of a triangle, then prove that cos\(\left(\frac{\mathbf{A}+\mathbf{B}}{\mathbf{2}}\right)\) = sinC/2.
Answer:
W.K.T A + B + C = 180°
\(\frac{A+B+C}{2}\) = 90 ⇒ \(\frac{A+B}{2}\) = 90 – \(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\)
Taking sin on both sides
We get sin\(\left(\frac{A+B}{2}\right)\) = sin \(\left(90-\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\right)\)
sin\(\left(\frac{A+B}{2}\right)\) = cos\(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2}\)

∴ The slope of AP = Slope of AB
1st PUC Basic Maths Previous Year Question Paper March 2016 (North) 6
i.e., \(\frac{y-y_{1}}{x-x_{1}}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\)
(y – y1) = \(\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\)(x – x1)
This is called two point formula.

PART-C

III. Answer any ten questions. (10 × 3 = 30)

Question 26.
Prove that \(\sqrt{5}\) is irrational.
Answer:
If possible let \(\sqrt{5}\) is a rational number.
∴ .\(\sqrt{5}\) = p, q∈z, q ≠ 0
we shall also assume that p and q do not have any common factor
∴ 5 = \(\frac{\mathrm{p}^{2}}{\mathrm{q}^{2}}\)
∴ p2 is a multiple of 5
∴ 5 divides p2
∴ 5 divides p
∴ p = 5k where k∈z, k≠O
p2 = 25k2
5q2 = 25k2 ∵ p2 = 5q2
q2 = 5k2
∴ q2 is a multiple of 5
∴ 5 divides q2
∴ 5 divides q
∴ 5 divides both p and q
This is a contradiction
∴ Our assumption is wrong
∴ \(\sqrt{5}\) is irrational.

Question 27.
Let f {(1, 1), (2, 3), (0, -1)) be a function from Z to Z defined by f(x) = ax + b a, b ∈ Z determine a and b.
Answer:
Given f(x) = ax + b
When x = 1, f(x) = 1 ⇒ a + b = 1
When x = 0, f(x) = -1 ⇒ 0 + b = -1 ⇒ b = -1
if b = 1 then a – 1 = 1 ⇒ a = 2
∴ a = 2, b = -1.

Question 28.
If A = {0, 1,2,3), B = {2, 3, 4), C = {4,5,6) then prove that A∩(B∪C)=(A∩B)∪(A∩C)
Answer:
A∩(B∩C) = {0, 1, 2, 3} n {2, 3, 4, 5, 6} {2, 3} ………………(1)
(A ∩ B) ∪ (A ∩ C) = {2, 3} ∪ {Q} = {2, 3) …………………..(2)
From 1 and 2 we have
A∩(B∪C) = (A∩B)∪(A∩C)

Question 29.
If x2 + y2 = 12xy. Show that 2 log (x – y) = log 10 + log (xy)
Answer:
Given x2 + y2 = 12xy
x2 + y2 – 2xy = 10xy
(x – y)2 = 10xy
Taking logm both sides
log(x – y)2 = log(10xy)
2 log (x – y) = log 10 + log xy

Question 34.
A batsman finds that, by scoring a century in the 11th innings of his test matches, he has bettered his average of preview test innings by 5 runs. What is the average after the 11 innings?
Answer:
Let the average of 10 inninngs = x
∴ Total runs after 10 inninngs = lOx
Average after 11 inninngs x +5
∴ Total runs after 11 inninngs = 11 (x + 5)
11 (x + 5) – 10x = 100
11x + 55 – 10x = 100
x + 55 = 100
x = 100 – 55 = 45
Average after the 11th inninngs = x + 5 = 45 + 5 = 50 runs

Question 35.
By how many percent should the use of coffee be increased if the price of coffee is decreased by 10% so that the expenditure remains unchanged.
Answer:
Let the price of coffee =100
Let the quantity used be 100
∴ Total expenditure = 100 x 100 = 10,000
∴ New price = 100 – 10 = 90
Let the new quantity used = x
the total expenditure = 90x
For unchanged expenditure 90x = 10000

F = \(\frac{a\left[(1+i)^{n}-1\right]}{i}\)
a = \(\frac{\mathrm{F} \times i}{(1+i)^{n}-1}=\frac{80,000 \times 10.125}{(1.125)^{5}-1}=\frac{80,000}{6.416}\) = ₹12,468.8

Question 45.
In a dance competition, 70% of the participants were girls, 35% of the boys, and 65% of the girls got qualified for the next round. If 49 girls were eliminated find the number of boys who were eliminated.
Answer:
Let the tota! number of participants = x
Total number of girls = \(\frac{70}{100}\)x = 0.7x ⇒ Total number of boys = \(\frac{30}{100}\) × x = 0.3x
If 65% of girls got qualified then 35% of girls got eliminated
∴ The total girls eliminated = \(\frac{35}{100}\) × 0.7x = 0.245x
Hence 0.245. x = 49
x = \(\frac{49}{0.245}\)
Hence total number of boys eleminated = \(\frac{35}{1000}\) × 0.3 × 200 = 2

x – 2y + 4 = 0
x = 2y – 4
x = 6 – 4 = 2
∴ point of intersection is (2,3)
Slope = m = tan (135°) = – 1
The required equation of the line with slope = -1 and the point (2,3) is given by
y – y1 = m(x – x1).
y- 3 = -1(x – 2)
∴ x + y – 5 = 0

Question 50.
(a) A confectioner makes and sells biscuits. 11e sells one pack of biscuits at 80. His cost of manufacturing is 40 per pack as a variable cost and 3000 as a fixed cost.
Find (i) his profit function.
(ii) break-even point. also
(iii) if he limits his Production o 100 packets, can be.make profit? 4
Answer:
T.R (x) = Price x Quantity = 80x
T.C C(x) = ax + b = 40x + 3000
Profit function = P(x) = R(x) – C(x) = 80x – 40x – 3000 = 40x – 3000
If x = 100 then P(100) = 40 × 100 – 3000 = ₹1 ,000

(b) Find the sum of n terms the series 5 + 35 + 555 + ………….
Answer:
Let S = 5 + 55 + 555 +…………… to n terms
\(\frac{\mathrm{S}}{5}\) = 1+ 11 + 111+………..to n terms
\(\frac{9 \mathrm{~S}}{5}\) = 9 + 99 + 999 +…………… to n terms
=(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 = \(\frac{5}{9}\left[\frac{10\left(10^{n}-1\right)}{9}-n\right]\)

(c) If 3x = 5y = 15z, Show that z(x + y) = xy.
Answer:
Let 3x = 5y = 15z = k(say)
3x = k ⇒ 3 = k1/x, 5y = k ⇒ 5 = k1/y, 15z = k⇒ 15 = k1/z
Now 3 x 5 = 15
k1/x. k1/y = k1/z ⇒ K1/x+1/y = K1/z
⇒ \(\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}=\frac{1}{z}\)
⇒ \(\frac{\mathrm{y}+\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{xy}}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{z}}\)
⇒ z (y + x) = xy ⇒ z (x + y) = xy
