General Instructions

1. All questions are compulsory.

2. The question paper consist of 29 questions divided into three sections A, B
and C. Section A comprises of 10 questions of one mark each, section B
comprises of 12 questions of four marks each and section C comprises of 07
questions of six marks each.
3. All questions in Section A are to be answered in one word, one sentence or as
per the exact requirement of the question.
4. There is no overall choice. However, internal choice has been provided in 04
questions of four marks each and 02 questions of six mark each. You have to
attempt only one of the alternatives in all such questions.
5. Use of calculators is not permitted. You may ask for logarithmic tables, if
required.

29. A Cooperative society of farmers has 50 hectares of land to grow two crops X
and Y. The profit from crops X and Y per hectare are estimated as Rs 10,500
and Rs 9,000 respectively. To control weeds, a liquid herbicide has to be used
for crops X and Y at rates of 20 litres and 10 litres per hectares. Further, not

wild life using a pond which collects drainage from this land. How much land
should be allocated to each crop so as to maximize the total profit of the
society?
