QUESTION 1: MARKS ALLOTTED:10

Objective:
The objective of this written task is to apply the concept of linear inequalities to analyse and solve real-
life scenarios. By exploring various situations where linear inequalities are relevant, the students will
develop a deeper understanding of how mathematical concepts can be applied to practical problems.

Scenario 1: Budgeting for a Family Vacation

Imagine a family of four planning a vacation to a popular tourist destination. The family has a budget
constraint and needs to determine the maximum amount they can spend on transportation,
accommodation, meals, and entertainment.

Task:

Define variables representing the expenses for transportation (T), accommodation (A), meals (M), and
entertainment (E).
The family has maximum Rs. 25.000 as funds for the tour and their budget on transportation and
accommodation cannot exceed Rs. 10,000. Write linear inequality equations representing the budget
constraints for each expense category based on the available funds. Solve the system of linear
inequalities to find the feasible region representing the possible combinations of expenses within the
budget.

QUESTION 2: MARKS ALLOTTED:10

Imagine you are a financial advisor tasked with helping individuals maximize their profits through
recurring deposits. Recurring deposits are a type of investment where a fixed amount is deposited at
regular intervals (typically monthly) into a savings account, earning a fixed rate of interest over a
predetermined period.

Your goal is to analyse different age groups and investment amounts to determine the optimal
combination that yields the maximum profit over time.

Task:
Here's the scenario:

2024–25 / Class 10 /Mathematics/ Written Task Page 1 of 2

 You have a diverse group of 4 clients, each with different ages and financial goals. Some clients are
young and looking to start saving for their future, while others are older and aiming to maximize their
returns before retirement.

You have access to historical data on interest rates offered by various financial institutions for recurring
deposits. Pick the best interest that is offered. Based on this data, you'll create a model to simulate the
growth of investments over time and identify the best age and investment amount to achieve maximum
profit.

Your analysis will consider factors such as:

Age of the investor: Different age groups may have varying risk tolerances and investment horizons.
Investment amount: The amount deposited into the recurring deposit account each month.
Interest rate: The rate of interest offered by the financial institution.
Investment duration: The length of time the investment is held, which may vary based on the investor's
goals.
You'll need to develop mathematical models and conduct simulations to determine the optimal age and
investment amount for each client to maximize their profits from recurring deposits. Your
recommendations will be based on a careful analysis of the historical data and consideration of each
client's individual financial situation and goals.
Note: Round of the results of each task to nearest whole number.
