Reason (R). Each of the questions has four alternative choices, only one of which is
the correct answer.
(A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

6. Assertion (A) : 𝑓(𝑥) = , 𝑥 ≠ 1 is a continuous function at x = 1, if f(1) = e.
𝑥−1

Reason (R) : f(x) is a continuous function at x = a if Lt 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑎).

𝑥→𝑎

7. Assertion (A) : A Jet aircraft of enemy is flying along the curve given by
y = x2 + 7. A soldier placed at (3, 7), wants to shoot down the
helicopter when it is near to him. The nearest distance is √5 .

Reason (R) : f’(x) = 0 and f’’(x) < 0 then ‘x’ is called the point of minima.

9. The length ‘x’ of a rectangle is decreasing at the rate of 5 cm/sec and the
width ‘y’ is increasing at the rate of 4 cm/sec. When x = 8 cm and y = 6 cm
then find the rate of change of perimeter and area of the rectangle.
OR
Find the intervals in which the function 𝑓(𝑥) = 3𝑥 4 − 4𝑥 3 − 12𝑥 2 + 5 is
(a) strictly increasing (b) strictly decreasing.

10. If 𝑦 = 𝑡𝑎𝑛−1 𝑥 then show that (1 + 𝑥 2 )𝑦2 + 2𝑥𝑦1 = 0

Section – D (1 X 5 = 5 Marks)
11. A tank with a rectangular base and rectangular sides, open at the top is to be
constructed so that its depth is 2 m and volume is 8 m3. If building of tank
costs Rs.70 per sq. metre for the base and Rs.45 per sq. metre for sides, what is
the cost of least expensive tank?

Case Study Question
Section E consists of 1 case study question of 4 mark with sub-parts of the
values 1,1 and 2 marks each respectively.

12. Rajesh wants to prepare a sweet box for Diwali at home. For making the lower
part of an open box, he takes a piece of a square cardboard of sides 18 cm by
cutting off equal squares from the corners and turning up the sides as shown
in the figure. Let ‘x’ metre be the length of a side of the removed squares.

Based on the above information, answer the following questions.

(i) If the volume of the open box can be expressed in terms of ‘x’ is V(x)
then find V(x). {1M]
𝑑𝑉
(ii) Find the value(s) of “x” for which = 0. [1M]
𝑑𝑥

(iii) Rajesh is interested in maximizing the volume of the box. So, what should
be the side of the square to be cut off to maximize the volume of the box?
OR [2M]
Find the maximum volume of the open box (in cm3).
