Section – A

Question 1.
If x ϵ N and $\left|\begin{array}{cc}{x+3} & {-2} \\ {-3 x} & {2 x}\end{array}\right|$= 8, then find the value of x. [1]
Solution:
We have, $\left|\begin{array}{cc}{x+3} & {-2} \\ {-3 x} & {2 x}\end{array}\right|$= 8
⇒ (x + 3) × 2x – (-2) × (-3x) = 8
⇒ 2x2 + 6x – 6x = 8
⇒ 2x2 = 8
⇒ x2 = 4
But x ≠ -2 as x ϵ N
⇒ x = 2

The equation of circles in the second quadrant which touch the coordinate axes is
(x + a)2 + (y – a)2 = a2, a ϵe R …(i)

where a is a parameter. This equation contains one arbitrary constant. So we shall differentiate it once only and we shall get a differential equation of first order.
Differentiating (i) w. r. t. x, we get

Let the amount invested by the trust in first and second bond be x and y respectively.

Section – C

Question 20.
There are two types of fertilisers ‘A’ and ‘B’. ‘A’ consists of 12% nitrogen and 5% phosphoric acid whereas ‘B’ consists of 4% nitrogen and 5% phosphoric acid. After testing the soil conditions, farmer finds that he needs at least 12 kg of nitrogen and 12 kg of phosphoric acid for his crops. If ‘A’ costs ₹ 10 per kg and ‘B’ cost ₹ 8 per kg, then graphically determine how much of each type of fertiliser should be used so that nutrient requirements are met at a minimum cost. [6]
Solution:
Let the quantity of fertiliser A and B be x and y respectively.
To minimize : Z = ₹ (10x + 8y)
Subject to the constraints :

So, Z is minimum for x = 30 and y = 210 and the minimum value of Z is ₹ 1980.
Hence, the quantity of fertilizer A is 30 kg and of fertilizer B is 210 kg.

Question 21.
Five bad oranges are accidently mixed with 20 good ones. If four oranges are drawn one by one successively with replacement, then find the probability distribution of number of bad oranges drawn. Hence find the mean and variance of the distribution. [6]
Solution:
Let X denotes the number of bad oranges in a draw of 4 oranges from a group of 20 good oranges and 5 bad oranges. Since there are 5 bad oranges in the group, therefore X can take values, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.
Now, P(X = 0) = Probability of getting no bad orange.
P(X = 0) = Probability of getting 4 good oranges

Question 22.
Find the position vector of the foot of perpendicular and the perpendicular distance from the point P with position vector $2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}+4 \hat{k}$to the plane $\vec{r} \cdot(2 \hat{i}+\hat{j}+3 \hat{k})-26=0$. Also find image of P in the plane. [6]

Question 24.
Prove that the least perimeter of an isosceles triangle in which a circle of radius r can be inscribed is $6 \sqrt{3} r$r. [6]
Solution:
Let ABC be an isosceles triangle with AB = AC and a circle with centre O and radius r, touching sides AB, BC, CA at D, F, E respectively.

OR
If the sum of lengths of hypotenuse and a side of a right angled triangle is given, show that area of triangle is maximum, when the angle between them is $\frac{\pi}{3}$.
Solution:
Let ABC be a right angled triangle with base BC = x, AB = y such that x + y = k (constant).
Let A be the angle between base and hypotenuse.
Let A be the area of the tringle. Then,

Question 25.
Prove that the curves y2 = 4x and x2 = 4y divide the area of square bounded by x = 0, x = 4, y = 4 and y = 0 into three equal parts. [6]
Solution:
Let A1, A2 and A3 denote areas OSPQO, OSPTO and OTPRO respectively.
To prove : A1 = A2 = A3,

Question 26.
Using properties of determinants, show that ∆ABC is isosceles if: [6]

Solution:
We have,

⇒ Expanding along R1 (cos B – cos A) (cos C – cos A) [1 + cos A + cos C – 1 – cos A – cos B] = 0
⇒ (cos B – cos A) (cos C – cos A) (cos C – cos B) = 0
Either cos B = cos A or cos C = cos A or cos C = cos B
i.e., either BC = AC or BC = AB or AC = AB
Hence, ∆ ABC is isosceles. Hence Proved.
OR
A shopkeeper has 3 varieties of pens ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’. Meenu purchased 1 pen of each variety for a total of ₹ 21. Jeevan purchased 4 pens of ‘A’ variety, 3 pens of ‘B’ variety and 2 pens of ‘C variety for ₹ 60. While Shikha purchased 6 pens of ‘A’ variety, 2 pens of ‘B’ variety and 3 pens of ‘C’ variety for ₹ 70. Using matrix method, find cost of each variety of pen.
Solution:
Let the cost of each variety of pen be ₹ x, ₹ y and ₹ z respectively. Then,
x + y + z = 21
4x + 3y + 2z = 60
and 6x + 2y + 3z = 70
This system of equations can be written in matrix form as follows:

Hence, the cost of each variety of pen are ₹ 5, ₹ 8 and ₹ 8 respectively.
