How many litres of water will have to be added to 1125 litres of the 45% solution of acid so that the resulting mixture will contain more than 25% but less than 30% acid content? Sol. Let x litres of water is required to be added. Then, total mixture = (x + 1125) litres It is evident that the amount of acid contained in the resulting mixture is 45% of 1125 litres. This resulting mixture will contain more than 25% but less than 30% acid content. 30% of (1125 + x) > 45% of 1125 And, 25% of (1125 + x) < 45% of 1125 30% of (1125 + x) > 45% of 1125

Thus, the required number of litres of water that is to be added will have to be more than 562.5 but less than 900. 27. If the coefficients of Tr, Tr+1, Tr+2 terms of (1 + x)14 are in arithmetic progression, then find the value of r: Sol. Tr = 14Cr-1 xr-1 Tr+1 = 14Cr xr Tr+2 = 14Cr+1 xr+1 Since the terms of given expansion are in arithmetic progression, we have, 2Tr+1 = Tr + Tr+2 i.e. 214Cr = 14Cr-1 + 14Cr+1

29. An analysis of monthly wages paid to workers in two firms A and B, belonging to the same industry, gives the following results:

No. of wage earners Mean of monthly wages Variance of the distribution of 100 wages

Firm A Firm B 586 648 Rs 5253 Rs 5253 121

(i) Which firm A or B pays larger amount as monthly wages? (ii) Which firm, A or B, shows greater variability in individual wages? Sol. (i) Monthly wages of firm A = Rs 5253 Number of wage earners in firm A = 586 Total amount paid = Rs 5253 586 Monthly wages of firm B = Rs 5253 Number of wage earners in firm B = 648 Total amount paid = Rs 5253 648 Thus, firm B pays the larger amount as monthly wages as the number of wage earners in firm B are more than the number of wage earners in firm A. (ii) Variance of the distribution of wages in firm Standard deviation of the distribution of wages in firm

Variance of the distribution of wages in firm Standard deviation of the distribution of wages in firm The mean of monthly wages of both the firms is same i.e., 5253. Therefore, the firm with greater standard deviation will have more variability. Thus, firm B has greater variability in the individual wages.
