34. A function f : [– 4, 4]→ [0, 4] is given by f(x) = 16  x 2 . Show that f is an onto function but not
one-one function. Further, find all possible values of 'a' for which f(a) = √7
Ans: Given function, f(x) = 16  x 2
for x = 0 (0 ∈ (– 4, 4))
f(0) = ± 4
So, it is not one-one and for each value of y these exists x
f(a) = √7
i.e. For each y∈[−4, 4], ‘x’ is a real number, ∴ 0 ≤ y ≤ 4 ⇒ Rf = [0, 4] = Co−domain
∴ f is an onto function
Now, 16  a 2  7
Squaring both sides, we get 16 – a² = 7

Suppose, f(x) = f(y), where x, y  R  
1 | x | 1 | y |
It can be observed that if x is positive and y is negative, then we have
x y
  2 xy  x  y
1  x 1 y
Since, x is positive and y is negative, then x > y  x − y > 0

But, 2xy is negative. Then, 2xy ≠ x − y.

Thus, the case of x being positive and y being negative can be ruled out.
Under a similar argument, x being negative and y being positive can also be ruled out. Therefore,
x and y have to be either positive or negative.
x y
When x and y are both positive, we have f ( x)  f ( y)    x  xy  y  xy  x  y
1 x 1  y
x y
When x and y are both negative, we have f ( x)  f ( y)    x  xy  y  xy  x  y
1 x 1 y
Therefore, f is one-one. Now, let y  R such that −1 < y < 1.

If y is negative, then there exists x   R such that

SECTION – E(Case Study Based Questions)

Questions 36 to 38 carry 4 marks each.
36. Case-Study 1:
Engine displacement is the measure of the cylinder volume swept by all the pistons of a piston
engine. The piston moves inside the cylinder bore

The cylinder bore in the form of circular cylinder open at the top is be made from a metal sheet of
area 75π cm2.

 Based on the above information, answer the following questions:
(i) If the radius of cylinder is r cm and height is h cm, then write the volume V of cylinder in terms
of radius r.
dV
(ii) Find
dr
(iii) (a) Find the radius of cylinder when its volume is maximum.
OR
(b) For maximum volume, h > r. State true or false and justify.
Ans: Area of bore = 75π cm²
75  r 2
⇒ 2πrh + πr² = 75π ⇒ 2rh + r² = 75 ⇒ h 

37. Case-Study 2:
In a street two lamp posts are 600 feet apart. The light intensity at a distance d from the first
1000
(stronger) lamp post is , the light intensity at distance d from the second (weaker) lamp post
d2
125
is 2 (in both cases the light intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance to
d
the light source). The combined light intensity is the sum of the two light intensities coming from
both lamp posts.

Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 12-

 Based on the above information, answer the following questions.
(i) If you are in between the lamp posts, at distance x feet from the stronger light, then find the
formula for the combined light intensity coming from both lamp posts as function of x
(ii) If I(x) denote the combined light intensity, then find the value of x for which I(x) is minimum.
OR
(ii) Find the darkest spot between the two lights
Ans: (i) Since, the distance is x feet from the stronger light, therefore the distance from the weaker
light will be 600 – x.
1000 125
So, the combined light intensity from both lamp posts is given by 2

x (600  x)2
1000 125
(ii) We have, I ( x)  2 
x (600  x) 2
2000 250 6000 750
 I '( x)  3
 3
 I ''( x)  4 
x (600  x) x (600  x) 4
2000 250
For maxima/minima, I′(x) = 0 ⇒  3  3
 8(600  x)3  x3
x (600  x)
Taking cube root on both sides, we get, 2(600 – x) = x ⇒ 1200 = 3x ⇒ x = 400
Thus, I(x) is minimum when you are at 400 feet from the strong intensity lamp post.
OR
(ii) Since, I(x) is minimum when x = 400 feet, therefore the darkest spot between the two light is
at a distance of 400 feet from stronger lamp post, i.e., at a distance of 600 – 400 = 200 feet from
the weaker lamp post.

38. Case-Study 2:
Recent studies suggest that roughly 12% of the world population is left handed.

Depending upon the parents, the chances of having a left handed child are as follows:
A : When both father and mother are left handed:
Chances of left handed child is 24%.
B : When father is right handed and mother is left handed:
Chances of left handed child is 22%.
C : When father is left handed and mother is right handed:
Chances of left handed child is 17%.
D : When both father and mother are right handed:
Chances of left handed child is 9%.
Assuming that P(A) = P(B) = P(C) = P(D) = 1/4 and L denotes the event that child is left handed.
