Maximise Z = x + 2y subject to the constraints: x + 2y ≥ 100; 2x – y < 0; 2x + y ≤ 200; x, y ≥ 0
Ans: Maximise Z = x + 2y
Subject to constraints : x + 2y ≥ 100, 2x – y < 0, 2x + y ≤ 200 and x, y ≥ 0.
Converting the inequations into equations, we obtain the lines
l1 : x + 2y = 100 ...(i)
l2 : 2x – y = 0 ...(ii)
l3 : 2x + y = 200 ...(iii)
l4 : x = 0 ...(iv)
and l5 : y = 0 ...(v)

l3 :   1 ⇒ The line l3 meets the coordinates axes at (100, 0) and (0, 200).
100 200
l4 : x = 0 is the y-axis, l5 : y = 0 is the x-axis

Now, plotting the above points on the graph, we get the feasible region of the LPP as shaded
region ABCD. The coordinates of the corner points of the feasible region ABCD are A(20, 40),
B(50, 100), C(0, 200), D(0, 50).
Now, ZA = 20 + 2 × 40 = 100
ZB = 50 + 2 × 100 = 250,
ZC = 0 + 2 × 200 = 400
ZD = 0 + 2 × 50 = 100
Hence, Z is maximum at C(0, 200) and having value 400.

Ans: Given relation R = {(a, b) : 2 divides (a – b)} on the set Z of all integers
Reflexive: Let a ∈ Z
Since (a – a) = 0, which is divisible by 2 i.e., (a, a) ∈ R
∴ R is reflexive.
Symmetric: Let a, b ∈ Z
such that (a, b) ∈ R ⇒ (a – b) is divisible by 2
⇒ – (a – b) is also divisible by 2
⇒ (b – a) is divisible by 2 ⇒ (b, a) ∈ R
i.e., (a, b) ∈ R ⇒ (b, a) ∈ R
∴ R is symmetric.
Transitive: Let a, b, c ∈ Z
such that (a, b) ∈ R ⇒ (a – b) is divisible by 2
Let a – b = 2k1 where k1 is an integer ...(i)
and (b, c) ∈ R ⇒ (b – c) is divisible by 2 ⇒ b – c = 2 k2 where k2 is an integer ...(ii)
Adding (i) and (ii), we have

SECTION – E(Case Study Based Questions)

Questions 36 to 38 carry 4 marks each.

36. Case-Study 1: Read the following passage and answer the questions given below.

The temperature of a person during an intestinal illness is given by

( ) = −0.1 ² + + 98.6,0 ≤ ≤ 12, m being a constant, where f(x) is the temperature in °F at
x days.
(i) Is the function differentiable in the interval (0, 12)? Justify your answer.
(ii) If 6 is the critical point of the function, then find the value of the constant
(iii) Find the intervals in which the function is strictly increasing/strictly decreasing.
OR
(iii) Find the points of local maximum/local minimum, if any, in the interval (0, 12) as well as
the points of absolute maximum/absolute minimum in the interval [0, 12]. Also, find the
corresponding local maximum/local minimum and the absolute maximum/absolute minimum
values of the function.
Ans: (i) f( ) = −0.1 ² + + 98.6, being a polynomial function, is differentiable
everywhere, hence, differentiable in (0, 12)
(ii) '( ) = − 0.2 +
Since, 6 is the critical point,
'(6) = 0 ⇒ = 1.2
(iii) ( ) = −0.1 ² + 1.2 + 98.6
'( ) = − 0.2 + 1.2 = −0.2( − 6)

 In the Interval f’(x) Conclusion
(0, 6) +ve f is strictly increasing in [0, 6]
(6, 12) -ve f is strictly decreasing in [6, 12]

OR

(iii) ( ) = −0.1 ² + 1.2 + 98.6,

'( ) = − 0.2 + 1.2, '(6) = 0,
''( ) = − 0.2
''(6) = − 0.2 < 0
Hence, by second derivative test 6 is a point of local maximum. The local maximum value = (6)
= − 0.1 × 6² + 1.2 × 6 + 98.6 = 102.2
We have (0) = 98.6, (6) = 102.2, (12) = 98.6
6 is the point of absolute maximum and the absolute maximum value of the function = 102.2.
0 and 12 both are the points of absolute minimum and the absolute minimum value of the
function = 98.6.

37. Case-Study 2:
One day Shweta’s Mathematics teacher was explaining the topic Increasing and decreasing
functions in the class. He explained about different terms like stationary points, turning points
etc. He also explained about the conditions for which a function will be increasing or decreasing.
He took examples of different functions to make it more clear to the students. He then took the
function ( ) = ( + 1)3( − 3)3 and ask the students to answer the following questions. With
Shweta, you can also test your knowledge by answering the questions

(i) Find the stationary points on the curve. [2]

(ii) Find the intervals where the function is increasing and decreasing? [2]
Ans: (i) We have, ( ) = ( + 1)3( − 3)3
 f  ( x)  3( x  1)2 ( x  3)3  3( x  3)2 ( x  1)3  f  ( x )  3( x  1)2 ( x  3)2 [ x  3  x  1]
 f  ( x)  3( x  1)2 ( x  3)2 (2 x  2)  f  ( x )  6( x  1)2 ( x  3)2 ( x  1)
For stationary points, f  ( x )  0  x  1, 3,1
(ii) The points x = −1, x = 1, and x = 3 divide the real line into four disjoint intervals
i.e.,(−∞, −1), (−1, 1), (1, 3) and (3, ∞).
In intervals (−∞, −1) and (−1, 1), f′(x) = 6(x + 1)2(x − 3)2(x − 1) < 0
∴ f is strictly decreasing in intervals (−∞, −1) and (−1, 1).
In intervals (1, 3) and (3, ∞), f′(x) = 6(x + 1)2(x − 3)2(x − 1) > 0
∴ f is strictly increasing in intervals (1, 3) and (3, ∞).

38. Case-Study 3: Read the following passage and answer the questions given below.

In an office three employees Vinay, Sonia and Iqbal process incoming copies of a certain form.
Vinay process 50% of the forms. Sonia processes 20% and Iqbal the remaining 30% of the
forms. Vinay has an error rate of 0.06, Sonia has an error rate of 0.04 and Iqbal has an error rate
of 0.03.
(i) Find the conditional probability that an error is committed in processing given that Sonia
processed the form.
(ii) Find the probability that Sonia processed the form and committed an error.
(iii) The manager of the company wants to do a quality check. During inspection he selects a
form at random from the days output of processed forms. If the form selected at random has an
error, find the probability that the form is not processed by Vinay.
OR
If the form selected at random has an error, find the probability that the form is processed by
Sonia
Ans: Let V : Vinay processes form; S : Sonia processes form; I : Iqbal processes form; E : Error
rate
P(V) = 50% = 50/100 = 5/10 ; P(S) = 20% = 20/100 = 2/10 ; P(I) = 30% = 30/100 = 3/10;
P(E/V) = 0.06; P(E/S) = 0.04; P(E/I) = 0.03
(i) Required conditional probability = P(E/S) = 0.04
(ii) P(Sonia processed the form and committed an error) = P(S) + P(E/S) = 2/10 × 0.04 = 0.008
(iii) P(Form is processed by Vinay)
