rice are 0.05g and 0.5 g respectively. Wheat costs Rs. 4 per kg and rice Rs. 6 per kg. The minimum daily
requirements of proteins and carbohydrates for an average child are 50 g and 200 g respectively. In what
quantities should be taken wheat and rice in the daily diet to provide daily requirements of proteins and
carbohydrates at minimum cost. Form the LPP.

6. If x changes from 4 to 4.01, then find the approximate change in √ .

7. The Surface area of a spherical bubble is increasing at the rate of 2cm2/s. Find the rate at which the
volume of the bubble is increasing at the instant its radius is 6 cm.

10. An airplane can carry a maximum of 200 passengers. A profit of Rs. 1000 is made on each executive
class ticket and a profit of Rs. 600 is made on each economy class ticket. The airline reserves at least 20
seats for executive class. However, at least 4 times as many passengers prefer to travel by economy class
than by the executive class. Formulate the LPP in order to maximize the profit for the airline.

14. A bag contains 2n+1 coins. It is known that n of these coins have a head on both sides whereas the rest
of the coins are fair. A coin is picked up at random from the bag and is tossed. If the probability that the
'
toss result in a head is & , then determine the value of n.

In a game a man wins a rupee for a six and loses two rupee for any other number when a fair die is
thrown. The man decided to throw a die thrice but to quit as & when he gets a six. Find the expected
value of the amount he wins/loses.

OR

A toy company manufactures two types of dolls, A and B. Market tests and available resources have
indicated that the combined production level should not exceed 1200 dolls per week and the demand for
dolls of type B is at most half of that for dolls of type A. Further, the production level of dolls of type A
can exceed three times the production of dolls of other type by at most 600 units. If the company makes
profit of Rs 12 and Rs 16 per doll respectively on dolls A and B, how many of each should be produced
weekly in order to maximize the profit?
