SECTION – A
(Question numbers 01 to 10 carry 1 mark each.)
Q01. State the reason for the relation R in the set {1, 2, 3} given by R {(1,2),(2,1)} not to be transitive.
Sol. As we know that a relation R in a set A is transitive if ( a , b) R and (b , c) R implies
(a,c ) R a,b,c A . Here it can be observed that (1, 2), (2, 1) R but (1, 1) R . Hence the
relation R in the set {1, 2, 3} is not transitive.

Q23. A factory makes tennis rackets and cricket bats. A tennis racket takes 1.5 hours of machine time
and 3 hours of craftsman’s time in its making while a cricket bat takes 3 hours of machine time and 1
hour of craftsman’s time. In a day, the factory has the availability of not more than 42 hours of
machine time and 24 hours of craftsman’s time. If the profit on a racket and on a bat is `20 and `10
respectively, find the number of tennis rackets and cricket bats that the factory must manufacture to
earn the maximum profit. Make it as an L.P.P. and solve graphically.

Take the testing points as (0, 0) for (i), we have: (0) 2(0) 28 0 28 , which is true.
Take the testing points as (0, 0) for (ii), we have: 3(0) (0) 24 0 24 , which is true.
The shaded region as shown in the given figure is the feasible region, which is bounded.
The coordinates of the corner points of the feasible region are A(8, 0), B(4, 12), C(0, 14) and O(0, 0).
So, Value of Z at A(8, 0) = `160
Value of Z at B(4, 12) = `200
Value of Z at C(0, 14) = `140
Value of Z at O(0, 0) = `0
The maximum value of Z is `200 which occurs at x = 4 and y = 12.
Thus, the factory must produce 4 tennis rackets and 12 cricket bats to earn the maximum profit. The
maximum obtained profit earned by the factory by producing these items is `200.
Q24. Suppose 5% of men and 0.25% of women have grey hair. A grey haired person is selected at
random. What is the probability of this person being male? Assume that there are equal number of
males and females.
Sol. Let M, F and G denotes the following events:
M: A male is selected, F: A female is selected, G: A person has grey hair.
1
It is given that the number of males = the number of females. So, P(M) = P(F) = .
2
5
It is also given that, P (G|M) = Probability of grey haired person given that they are male = 5% = .
100
0.25
Similarly, P (G|F) = 0.25% = .
100
When a grey haired person is selected at random, probability that this person is a male = P(M|G)
P(M)P(G|M)
So by using Bayes’ Theorem, we have: P(M|G)
P(M)P(G|M) P(F)P(G|F)

Q27. Find the equation of the plane which contains the line of intersection of the planes
ˆ 4 , r.(2iˆ ˆj k) ˆ 5 0 and which is perpendicular to the plane
r .(iˆ 2 ˆj 3k)
ˆ 8 0.
r .(5iˆ 3ˆj 6k)
Sol. We have r .(iˆ 2 ˆj 3kˆ ) 4 …(i), r .(2iˆ ˆj kˆ ) 5 0 …(ii)
The equation of plane passing through the line of intersection of the planes (i) and (ii) is given as:
r.(iˆ 2 ˆj 3kˆ ) 4 r.(2iˆ ˆj kˆ ) 5 0
r . (2 1)iˆ ( 2) ˆj (3 )kˆ 5 4 0 …(iii)
Since the plane (iii) is perpendicular to the plane r .(5iˆ 3 ˆj 6 kˆ ) 8 0 .

5(2 1) 3( 2) 6(3 ) 0 .

33 45 ˆ 50 ˆ 41
Substituting the values in (iii), we have: r . iˆ j k 0
19 19 19 19
r .(33iˆ 45 ˆj 50 kˆ ) 41 0 This is the vector equation of plane.
Also, the Cartesian equation of plane can be obtained by replacing r xiˆ yjˆ zkˆ in the vector
equation of plane.
So, Cartesian equation of the plane is: 33x 45 y 50 z 41 0 .
Q28. Show that of all the rectangles inscribed in a given fixed circle, the square has the maximum area.
Sol. Let the length and breadth of rectangle inscribed in a given fixed circle of radius r, be l and b
respectively.
The length of the diagonal passing through the centre is of 2r.
By applying Pythagoras Theorem, we have: (2r)2 l 2 b 2 b 4r 2 l 2 .
So area of the rectangle, A lb A l 4r 2 l 2 A 2 4r 2l 2 l 4
Consider f (l) A2 , so f (l) 4 r 2 l2 l 4
Differentiating with respect to l both sides, f (l) 8r 2l 4l 3
Again differentiating with respect to l both sides, f (l) 8 r 2 12l 2
For points of local maxima & minima, f (l) 0
i.e., 8 r 2l 4 l3 0 l 2 r.
f (l 2 r ) 8 r 2 12 2r 2 16r 2 0
So, f (l) is maximum at l 2 r .
Hence, A is also maximum at l 2 r .
Now, b 4r 2 l 2 b 4r 2 2 r 2 2 r .
As l 2 r b so, the rectangle is a square.
Hence it is proved that of all the rectangles inscribed in a given fixed circle, the square has the
maximum area.
