(b) Let the equation of the plane passing through the point A(2, 1, -3) be
A (x – 2) + B(y – 1) + C(z + 3) = 0 ….. (i)
Points B (-3, -2,1) and C (2, 4, -1) lies on the plane.
⇒ A(-3 – 2) + B (-2 – 1) + C(1 + 3) = 0
⇒ -5A – 3B + 4C = 0 ……(ii)
And A(2 – 2) + B(4 – 1) + C(-1 + 3) = 0
⇒ A.0 + 3B + 2C = 0 ….(iii)
Now, eliminating A, B, C from (i), (ii) and (iii), we have

One Bag is chosen at random and 2 balls are drawn at random from that Bag. If the randomly drawn balls happen to be red and black, what is the probability that both balls come from Bag B? [5]
Answer:
(a) The box contains 4 red and 5 black marbles
3 marbles are drawn.

(b) A manufacturer manufactures two types of tea-cups, A and B. Three machines are needed for manufacturing the tea-cups. The time in minutes required for manufacturing each cup on the machines is given below:

Each machine is available for a maximum of six hours per day. If the profit on each cup of type A is ₹ 1.50 and that on each cup of type B is ₹ 1.00, find the number of cups of each type that should be manufactured in a day to get maximum profit. [5]
Answer:
(a) The price of a tape recorder is ₹ 1661.
The man purchases it by ₹ 400 cash down payment.
Due amount = 1661 – 400 = ₹ 1261
