Three schools A, B and C organised a mela for collecting funds for helping the rehabilitation of flood victims. They sold handmade fans, mats and plates from recycled material at a cost of ₹ 25, ₹ 100 and ₹ 50 each. The number of articles sold are given below:

Find the fund collected by each school separately by selling the above articles. Also find the total funds collected for the purpose. Write one value generated by the above situation. [4]

The number of articles sold by each school can be represented by the 3 × 3 matrix

Hence, the funds collected by schools A, B and C are ₹ 7,000, ₹ 6,125 and ₹ 7,875 respectively.
The total funds collected for flood victims
= ₹ (7,000 + 6,125 + 7,875)
= ₹ 21,000
The above situation exhibits the helping nature of students.

Question 20.
Let N denote the set of all natural numbers and R be the relation on N × N defined by (a, b) R (c, d) if ad(b + c) = bc(a + d). Show that R is an equivalence relation. [6]
Solution:
We know that relation R will be an equivalence relation, if we prove it as a reflexive, symmetric and transitive relation.
(i) Reflexivity:
Let (a, b), be an arbitrary element of N × N
then, (a, b) ϵ N × N
a, b ϵ N
⇒ ab(b + a) = ba(a + b)
⇒ (a, b) R (a, b)
(a, b) R (a, b) ∀ (a, b) ϵ N × N.
(ii) Symmetry:’
Let (a, b), (c, d) be ah arbitrary element of N × N such that (a, b) R (c, d)
⇒ ad(b + c) = bc(a + d)
⇒ cb(d + a) = da(c + b)
⇒ (c, d) R (a, b)
∴ (a, b) R (c, d) ⇒ (c, d) R (a, b) ∀ (a, b), (c, d) ϵ N × N So, R is symmetric on N × N.
(iii) Transitivity:
Let (a, b), (c, d), (e, f) be an arbitrary element of N × N such that (a, b) R (c, d) and (c, d) R then (a, b) R (c, d)

Thus, (a, b) R (c, d) and (c, d) R (e, f) ⇒ (a, b) R (e, f). ∀ (a, b) (c, d) (e, f) ϵ N × N
So, R is transitive on N × N.
Hence, R being reflexive, symmetric and transitive, is an equivalence relation on N × N.
Hence Proved.

Solution:

Question 25.
Find the local maxima and local minima of the function f(x) = sin x – cos x, 0 < x < 2π. Also find the local maximum and local minimum values. [6]
Solution:
We have,/(x) = sin x – cos x, 0 < x < 2π.
⇒ f'(x) – cos x + sin x
For local maximum or minimum, we have
⇒ f'(x) = o
⇒ cos x + sin x = 0
⇒ cos x = – sin x
⇒ tan x = -1

Question 26.
Find graphically, the maximum value of z = 2x + 5y, subject to constraints given below: [6]
2x + 4y ≤ 8
3x + y ≤ 6
x + y ≤ 4
x ≥ 0, y ≤ 0
Solution:
We first convert the inequalities into equations to obtain lines
2x + 4y = 8 ….(i)
3x + y = 6 …..(ii)
x + y = 4 —(iii)
x = 0
and y = 0.
We need to maximize the objective function z = 2x + 5y
These lines are drawn and the feasible region of the L.P.P. is the shaded region :

The point of intersection of (i) and (ii) is B (1.6, 1.2)
The coordinates of the corner points of the feasible region are 0(0, 0), A(0, 2), B (1.6, 1.2) and C(2, 0).
The value of the objective function at these points are given in the following table:

Out of these values of z, the maximum value of z is 10 which is attained at the point (0, 2). Thus the maximum value of z is 10.
