(b) (i) Write the Boolean expression corresponding to the circuit given below: [5]

(ii) Simplify the expression using laws of Boolean Algebra and construct the simplified circuit.
Solution:

(b) (i) The statement using the given switching circuits is as:
CA + A(B + C) (C + A) (C + B) ….. (i)
using laws of Boolean Algebra, we have
CA + A(B + C) (C + A) (C + B) = (CA + AB + AC) (C + A) (C + B)
= (AC + AB + AC) (C + A) (C + B)
= ACC + ACA + ABC + ABA (C + B)
= AC + AC + ABC + AB (C + B)
= AC + ABC + ABC + AB
= AC + ABC + AB
= AC + AB (1 + C)
= AC + AB (1)
= AC + AB
= A(C + B)
Hence, the simplified switching network can be shown as in the figure.

Question 4.
(a) Verify Rolle’s theorem for the function: [5]
\(f(x)=\log \left\{\frac{x^{2}+a b}{(a+b) x}\right\}\) in the interval [a, b] where, 0 ∉ [a, b].
(b) Find the equation of the ellipse with its centre at (4, -1) focus at (1, -1) and given that it passes through (8, 0). [5]
Solution:
(a) Given
\(f(x)=\log \left(\frac{x^{2}+a b}{x(a+b)}\right) \log \left(x^{2}+a b\right)-\log x-\log (a+b)\)
Algorithmic function is differentiable and so continuous on .its domain. Therefore f(x) is continuous on [a, b] and differentiable on (a, b)
f(a) = f(b)

(b) Coordinate of the centre and focus are the same.
Therefore both lie on y = -1 & hence the major axis of the ellipse is parallel to the x-axis. & minor axis is parallel to the y-axis.
Let 2a & 2b be the length of major & minor axes respectively. Then the equation of the ellipse is

(a) In the case of Mathematics:
88 is scored by 1 student, so we assign rank 1 to it.
Again, 80 is scored by the two students So we assign common rank \(\frac{2+3}{2}=2.5\) to each of them.
And 76 is scored by only one thus we assign rank 4 to him.
74 is scored by only one, so we assign rank 5 to him.
68 is scored by only one so, we assign rank 6 to him.
65 is scored by only one so, we assign rank 7 to him.
43 is scored by only one so, we assign rank 8 to him.
40 is scored by two persons so, we assign common rank \(\frac{9+10}{2}=9.5\) to each of them.

84 is scored by only one thus we assign rank 2 to him.
72 is scored by only one thus we assign rank 3 to him.
66 is scored by only one thus we assign rank 4 to him.

50 is scored by only one thus we assign rank 7 to him.
43 is scored by only one thus we assign rank 8 to him.
38 is scored by only one thus we assign rank 9 to him.
30 is scored by only one thus we assign rank 10 to him.

(b) A box contains 30 bolts and 40 nuts. Half of the bolts and half of the nuts are rusted. If two items are drawn at random from the box, what is the probability that either both are rusted or both are bolts? [5]
Solution:
(a) A = Drawing 3 white balls in the first draw.
B = Drawing 3 red balls in the second draw.

Question 12.
(a) In a class of 75 students, 15 are above average, 45 are average and the rest below-average achievers. The probability that an above-average achieving student fails is 0.005, that an average achieving student fails is 0.05 and the probability of a below-average achieving student failing is 0.15.

Section – C

Question 13.
(a) Two tailors P and Q earn ₹ 150 and ₹ 200 per day respectively. P and stitch 6 shirts and 4 trousers a day, while Q can stitch 10 shirts and 4 trousers per day. How many days should each work produce at least 60 shirts and 32 trousers at minimum labour cost? [5]
(b) A machine costs ₹ 97,000 and its effective life is estimated to be 12 years. If scrap realises ₹ 2,000 only, what amount should be retained out of profits at the end of each year to accumulate at compound interest of 5% per annum in order to buy a new machine after 12 years? (use 1.05¹² = 1.769). [5]
Solution:
(a) Let the tailor P work for x days and then tailor work for y days respectively.
Minimize Z = 150x + 200y
Subject to the constraints
6x + 10y ≥ 60
⇒ 3x + 5y ≥ 30 …..(i)
4x + 4y ≥ 32
⇒ x + y ≥ 8
and x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0
Solving eq. (i) and (ii), we have

The lines are shown on the graph paper and the feasible region (Unbounded convex) is shown shaded in the fig.
The comer points are A (10, 0), B (5, 3) and C (0, 8)
At the comer point the value of Z = 150x + 200y
At A (10, 0), Z = 150 × 10 + 200 × 0 = 1500
At B (5, 3), Z = 150 × 5 + 200 × 3 = 750 + 600 = 1350
At C (0, 8), Z = 150 × 0 + 200 × 8 = 1600
As the feasible region is unbounded, we draw the graph of the half-plane
150x + 200y < 1350
3x + 4y < 27
There is no point common with the feasible region, therefore, Z has minimum value. Minimum value of Z is ₹ 1350 and it occurs at the point B (5, 3).
Hence, the labour cost in ₹ 1350 when P works for 5 days and Q works for 3 days.

(b) Cost = ₹ 97, 000
Scrap value = ₹ 2000
n = 12
\(i=\frac{5}{100}=0.05\)
Remaining amount = (97000 – 2000) = ₹ 95,000

Question 14.
(a) Abill of ₹ 1,000 drawn on 7th May, 2011 for six months was discounted on 29th August, 2011 for cash payment of ₹ 988. Find the rate of interest charged by the bank.
(b) If total cost function is given by C = a + bx + cx², where x is the quantity of output. Show that:
\(\frac{d}{d x}(\mathrm{AC})=\frac{1}{x}(\mathrm{MC}-\mathrm{AC})\), where MC is the marginal cost and AC is the average cost.
Solution:
(a) Due date of the bill is 29th Nov.
Date of discounting is 29th Aug.
No. of days from date of discounting to due date
= 2(Aug) + 30 (Sept) + 31 (Oct) + 10 (Nov) = 73

(a) Find the consumer price index number for the year 2010 using the year 2000 as the base year by using the method of weighted aggregates: [5]
