Solution:
(a) The given line \(\frac{x-11}{10}=\frac{y+2}{-4}=\frac{z+8}{-11}\)
Let N be the foot of the perpendicular drawn from the point P(2, -1, 5).
Any point on line (1) is N (11 + 10t, -2 – 4t, -8 – 11t).
Now, direction ratio of NP is: < 9 + 10t, -1 – 4t, -13 -11t >
and direction ratio of line (1) is < 10, -4, -11 >
10(9 + 10t) + 4(1 + 4t) + 11(13 + 11t) = 0
⇒ 90 + 100t + 4 + 16t+ 143+ 121t = 0
⇒ 237t + 237 = 0
⇒ t = -1
N = (1, 2, 3)
Now, image of point P (2, -1, 5) is

Question 12.
(a) In an automobile factory, certain parts are to be fixed into the chassis in a section before it moves into another section. On a given day, one of the three persons A, B and C carries out this task. A has a 45% chance, B has 35% chance and C has a 20% chance of doing the task. The probability that A, B and C will take more than the allotted time is \(\frac { 1 }{ 6 }\), \(\frac { 1 }{ 10 }\) and \(\frac { 1 }{ 20 }\) respectively.
If it is found that the time taken is more than the allotted time, what is the probability that A has done the task? [5]

Solution:

Section – C

Question 13.
(a) A man borrows ₹ 20,000 at 12% per annum, compounded semi-annually and agrees to pay it in 10 equal semi-annual instalments. Find the value of each instalment, if the first payment is due at the end of two years. [5]
(b) A company manufactures two types of products A and B. Each unit of A requires 3 grams of nickel and 1 gram of chromium, while each unit of B requires 1 gram of nickel and 2 grams of chromium. The firm can produce 9 grams of nickel and 8 grams of chromium. The profit is ₹ 40 on each unit of the product of type A and ₹ 50 on each unit of type B. How many units of each type should the company manufacture so as to earn a maximum profit? Use linear programming to find the solution. [5]
Solution:



Coordinates of O is (0, 0)
Coordinates of A is (0, 4)
Coordinates of C is (3, 0)
Coordinates of B is (2, 3)
At O, Z = 0
At A, Z = 40 × 0 + 50 × 4 = ₹ 200
At B, Z = 40 × 2 + 50 × 3 = 80 + 150 = ₹ 230
At C, Z = 40 × 3 + 50 × 0 = ₹ 120
The feasible region is the shaded portion.
Maximum profit is ₹ 230 at B (2, 3) i.e., the company produces 2 units of type A product and 3 units of type B product

Question 14.
(a) The demand function is \(x=\frac{24-2 p}{3}\) where x is the number of units demanded and p is the price per unit. Find:
(i) The revenue function R in terms of p.
(ii) The price and the number of units demanded which the revenue is maximum. [5]
(b) A bill of ₹ 1,800 drawn on 10th September 2010 at 6 months was discounted for ₹ 1,782 at a bank. If the rate of interest was 5% per annum, on what date was the bill discounted? [5]
Solution:



Now, the bill was drawn on 10th September 2010 for 6 months, so legally due date is 13th March 2011. But the bill was encashed 73 days before 13th March 2011. Counting 73 days backwards, 13 days of March + 28 days of February + 31 days of January + 1 day of December 2010 = 73 days
The bill was encashed on 31 – 1 i.e, 30th December 2010

Question 15.
(a) The index number by the method of aggregates for the year 2010, taking 2000 as the base year, was found to be 116. If sum of the prices in the year 2000 is ₹ 300, find the values of x and y in the data given below [5]

(b) From the details given below, calculate the five-year moving averages of the number of students who have studied in a school. Also, plot these and original data on the same graph paper. [5]
