Question 11.
If \(\left[ \begin{matrix} 2 & -1 \\ 3 & 1 \end{matrix} \right] \left[ \begin{matrix} x \\ y \end{matrix} \right] =\left[ \begin{matrix} 10 \\ 2 \end{matrix} \right] \), find x and y.
Answer:
2x – y = 10
3x + y = 2
Adding we get 5x =12x ⇒ x = \(\frac { 12 }{ 5 }\) , y = \(2-\frac{3.12}{5}=\frac{10-36}{5}=\frac{-26}{5}\)
∴ x = \(\frac{12}{5}\) y = \(\frac{-26}{5}\)

Question 13.
One ticket is drawn at random from a bag containing 20 tickets numbered 1 to 20. Find the probability that it is a multiple of 2 or 5,
Answer:
Since the bag has 20 tickets, total number of cases n = 20
Let A: getting a multiple of 2
B: getting a multiple of 5
Event A has 10 favourable outcomes
A = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20}
∴ P(A) = \(\frac{10}{20}=\frac{1}{2}\)
Event B has four favourable outcomes
B = {5, 10, 15, 20)
∴ P(B) = \(\frac{4}{20}\)
A ∩ B = {10,20]
∴ P(A ∩ B) = \(\frac{2}{20}\)
∴ P(multiple of 2 or 5 ) = P(A ∪ B) =P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B) = \(\frac{10}{20}+\frac{4}{20}-\frac{2}{20}=\frac{12}{20}=\frac{3}{5}\)

Question 14.

Answer:
Given p → q
Converse = q → p If the students score better marks then the questions are easy.
Contrapositive = ~q→ ~p If the student does not score better marks then the questions are not easy.

Question 15.
Monthly incomes of A and B are in the ratio 2:3 and their monthly expenditures are in the ratio 3:5. If each saves Rs. 100 per month, find the monthly incomes of A and B.
Answer:
Let the monthly incomes be 2x and 3x respectively. Since their savings are Rs. 100 each their expenditure would be 2x – 100 and 3x – 100
∴ \(\frac{2 x-100}{3 x-100}=\frac{3}{5}\)
10x – 500 = 9x – 300; x = Rs. 200
Hence the monthly income of A = 200 × 2 = Rs. 400
The monthly income of B = 200 × 3 = Rs. 600

Question 16.
Find the Banker’s discount on a bill of Rs. 415 due 9 months at 15% p.a
Answer:
Given F = 415, n = \(\frac{9}{12}\) , r = 0.15, B.D = ?
B.D = F +r
= 415 × \(\frac{9}{12}\) × 0.15
B.D = Rs. 46.68

Answer:
L.H.S = cos3A = cos(2A+A)
= cos2A.cosA – sin2A.sinA
= (2cos2A-1)cosA – 2sinA cosA sinA

Question 19.
Find the equation of the parabola if its vertex is (0,0), axis is y-axis and passes through (-1,-3).
Answer:
Axis is y-axis and vertex is (0,0).
∴ The parabola is of the form x2 = 4ay and x2 = -4ay. Since the parabola passes through the point (-1,-3) and it lies in third quadrant the parabola turns downward. It is of the form x2 = 4ay but it passes through the point (-1,-3).
∴ (-1)2 = -4a(3).
⇒ 1 = 12a ⇒ a = \(\frac{1}{12}\)
∴ the required equation is x2 = -4. \(\frac{1}{12}\).y
12x2 + 4y = 0.

Question 22.
If the sum of two numbers is 48, find the numbers whose product is maximum.
Answer:
Let the two numbers be x and y.
Given x + y = 48
Y = 48 – x
Let product
P = xy = x(48 – x).
P = 48x – x2
Differentiate w.r.t. x.
\(\frac{d p}{d x}\) = 48 – 2x
For a function to be maximum \(\frac{d p}{d x}\) = 0
∴ 48 – 2x = 0 ⇒ x = 24 .
∴ y = 48 – 24 = 24 is
∴ product is maximum at x = 24 and y = 24.

(a) Have all the vowels together.
(b) Begin with T and end with T?
Answer:
Total letters = 9
M = 2, T = 2, E = 2
Total arrangements = \(\frac{9 !}{2 ! 2 ! \cdot 2 !}\)
(a) Permutations begin with T and end with T = \(\frac{7 !}{2 ! 2 !}\)
(b) permutations of vowels are together = \(\frac{6 !}{2 ! \cdot 2 !} \times \frac{4 !}{2 !}\)

Question 28.
A box contains 8 white balls and 9 red balls. Two balls are taken at random from the box. Find the probability that both of them are red if
(i) The two balls are taken together.
(ii) The balls are taken one after the other without replacement.
(iii) The balls are taken one after the other with replacement.
Answer:
(i) Two balls are selected from 17 balls in 17C2w ways
Ways of choosing 2 Red balls from 9 red is 9C2 ways.
∴ (P both red) = \(\frac{^{9} C_{2}}{^{17} C_{2}}=\frac{9}{34}\)

(ii) Without replacement, probability of 1st red ball = \(\frac{9}{17}\)
And also probability of 2nd red ball is = \(\frac{8}{16}\)

(iii) With replacement
Probability of 1st red ball = \(\frac{9}{17}\)
And also probability of 2nd red ball is = \(\frac{9}{17}\)
∴ P(both red) = \(\frac{9}{17} \times \frac{9}{17}=\frac{81}{289}\)

Question 31.
Mr. Sandeep invests ₹15,000 cash partly in 3% stock at 75 and partly in 6% debentures at 125 in such a way as to get a return of 4.5% for his money. How much does he invest in each?
Answer:
Let x be the investment in 1st stock
And 15,000-x be the investment in 2nd stock
Income in 1st stock = \(\frac{3}{75} \times x\)
Income in 2nd stock = \(\frac{6}{125} \times(15,000-x)\)
Given the sum of both incomes = 675.
2nd PUC Basic Maths Previous Year Question Paper March 2016 - 16
(0.04 – 0.048) x = 675 – 720
-0.008 x = – 45
x = 5625
∴ Amount invested in 1st stock = 5625 and
Amount invested 2nd stock = 15,000 – 5625 = Rs. 9375.
Here 4.5% of 15,000 = ₹675

Question 32.
A shopkeeper bought a washing machine at a discount of 20% from a wholesale, the printed price of the washing machine being Rs. 18,000. The shopkeeper sells it to a consumer at a discount of 10% on the printed price. If the rate of sales tax is 8%, find
(i) The VAT paid by the shopkeeper
(ii) Total amount that he consumer pays for the washing machine.
Answer:
Discount of 10% on 24,000 = 2,400
∴ S.P = 24,000 – 2,400 = 21,600
(i) The amount paid by the cutstomer = 21,600
+ 10% of 21,600 = 21,600 + 2160
The amount paid by the customer = ₹23,760.

(ii) VAT paid by shopkeeper = VAT% (S.P – Shopkeepers S.P)
= 10% (21,600-16,800)

Answer:
Let r be the radius of the sphere and V be the volume of the sphere.
Given \(\frac{\mathrm{d} \mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{dt}}\) = 4π C.C. /sec., V = 288π C.C.
v = \(\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}\)

Ifs = 2t3 – 5t2 + 4t – 3 (s= distance, t= time), find
(i) The time when the acceleration is 14 ft/sec2.
(ii) The velocity and displacement at that time.
Answer:
If s = 2t3 – 5t2 + 4t – 3
V = \(\frac{d S}{d t}\) = 6t2 – 10t + 4
Accn = \(\frac{d V}{d t}\) =12t – 10
(i) 14 = 12t – 10 ⇒ 14 + 10 = 12t ⇒ t = 2secs.
(ii) Vt=2sec = 6.22 – 10.2 + 4 = 24 – 20 + 4 = 8ft/sec
St = 2sec = 2(2)3 – 5(2)2 + 4.2 + 4 = 16 – 20 + 8 + 4 = 8ft.

Question 42.
Distribute ₹ 632 amongst A, B and Cin such a way that B will get 20 % more than A and C gets 20% less than B
Answer:
Express the money received by B and Cas Ratio
i.e. B receives = \(\frac{120}{100}\) A, if A = 100 then B = 120
\(\therefore \quad \frac{\mathrm{A}}{\mathrm{B}}=\frac{100}{120}=\frac{5}{6}\)
C receives \(\frac{B}{C}=\frac{100}{80}=\frac{5}{4}\) B. If B = 100, then C = 80
\(\frac{B}{C}=\frac{100}{80}=\frac{5}{4}\)
A : B = 5 : 6; B : C = 5 : 4
A : B : C = 25 : 30 : 24
∴ 25x + 30x + 24x = 632
79x = 632 ⇒ x = \(\frac{632}{79}\) = 8
∴ A receives 25 × 8 = Rs. 200
B receives 30 × 8 = Rs. 240
C receives 24 × 8 = Rs. 192

Question 46.
Find the equation of the circle passing through the point (0,5) and (6, 1) and has its centre on the line 12x + 5y = 25.
Answer:
Let the equation of the required circle is
x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 given that this
Equation passes through the points (0,5) and (6, 1)
∴ (0,5) 02 + 52 + 2(0)g + 2(5)f + C=0
10f + C + 25 = 0
(6, 1) 62 + 12 + 2.6g + 2.1f+C = 0 …. (1)
12g + 2f + C + 37 = 0 …. (2)
Also the centre (-g, -f) lies on the line 12x + 5y – 25 = 0
∴ -128 – 5f – 22 = 0 …. (3)
Equation (2) – Equation (1) gives 12g – 8f + 12 = 0 …(4)
Adding equations 3 and 4 we get
-13f – 13 = 0 → f = \(\frac { 13 }{ -13 }\) -1 ⇒ f = -1
From equation 4
12g = 8f + 12 = – 8 + 12 = 4
g = \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 }\)
10 + C + 25 = 0 ⇒ c = -15
∴ Required equation is x2 + y2 +2\(\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)\)x + 2(-1)y -15=0
⇒ 3x2 + 3y2 + 2x – y – 45 = 0

Find the bus far charged per children, per senior citizen and per adult by using matrix method.
Answer:
Let x, y & z denote the rates of Commission in Rupees/ unit for A,B&C iterms respectively. Then the data given can be expressed as a system of linear equations.
10x + 10y + 20z =90
30x + 20y + 10z = 100
10x + 20y + 30z = 140
x + y + 2x = 9
3x + 2y + z = 10
x + 2y + 3z = 14
Solve these equations by Matrix Method.

Let BC = x and CE = y, x + y = ?
From rt. Angled triangle ∆ce DCE
tan 60o = \(\frac{20}{x} \Rightarrow \sqrt{3}=\frac{25}{x} \Rightarrow x=\frac{25}{\sqrt{3}}\) … (1)
Again form right angled ∆Ce DCE
tan 45o = \(\frac{14}{y}\) ⇒ y = 14 …. (2)
∴ tan 45 = 1
From Equations (1) and (2) we get.
\(x+y \frac{25}{\sqrt{3}}+14=\frac{25+14 \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}\)
Hence the distance between the towers = \(\frac{25+4 \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}\) mt3
