Question 13.
One ticket is drawn at random from a bag containing 20 tickets numbered 1 to 20. Find the probability that it is a multiple of 2 or 5,
Answer:
Since the bag has 20 tickets, total number of cases n = 20
Let A: getting a multiple of 2
B: getting a multiple of 5
Event A has 10 favourable outcomes
A = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20}
∴ P(A) = $$\frac{10}{20}=\frac{1}{2}$$
Event B has four favourable outcomes
B = {5, 10, 15, 20)
∴ P(B) = $$\frac{4}{20}$$
A ∩ B = {10,20]
∴ P(A ∩ B) = $$\frac{2}{20}$$
∴ P(multiple of 2 or 5 ) = P(A ∪ B) =P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B) = $$\frac{10}{20}+\frac{4}{20}-\frac{2}{20}=\frac{12}{20}=\frac{3}{5}$$

Question 14.

Given p → q
Converse = q → p If the students score better marks then the questions are easy.
Contrapositive = ~q→ ~p If the student does not score better marks then the questions are not easy.

Question 15.
Monthly incomes of A and B are in the ratio 2:3 and their monthly expenditures are in the ratio 3:5. If each saves Rs. 100 per month, find the monthly incomes of A and B.
Answer:
Let the monthly incomes be 2x and 3x respectively. Since their savings are Rs. 100 each their expenditure would be 2x – 100 and 3x – 100
∴ $$\frac{2 x-100}{3 x-100}=\frac{3}{5}$$
10x – 500 = 9x – 300; x = Rs. 200
Hence the monthly income of A = 200 × 2 = Rs. 400
The monthly income of B = 200 × 3 = Rs. 600

Question 16.

Question 31.
Mr. Sandeep invests ₹15,000 cash partly in 3% stock at 75 and partly in 6% debentures at 125 in such a way as to get a return of 4.5% for his money. How much does he invest in each?
Answer:
Let x be the investment in 1st stock
And 15,000-x be the investment in 2nd stock
Income in 1st stock = $$\frac{3}{75} \times x$$
Income in 2nd stock = $$\frac{6}{125} \times(15,000-x)$$
Given the sum of both incomes = 675.

(0.04 – 0.048) x = 675 – 720
-0.008 x = – 45
x = 5625
∴ Amount invested in 1st stock = 5625 and
Amount invested 2nd stock = 15,000 – 5625 = Rs. 9375.
Here 4.5% of 15,000 = ₹675

Question 32.
A shopkeeper bought a washing machine at a discount of 20% from a wholesale, the printed price of the washing machine being Rs. 18,000. The shopkeeper sells it to a consumer at a discount of 10% on the printed price. If the rate of sales tax is 8%, find
(i) The VAT paid by the shopkeeper
(ii) Total amount that he consumer pays for the washing machine.
Answer:
Discount of 10% on 24,000 = 2,400
∴ S.P = 24,000 – 2,400 = 21,600
(i) The amount paid by the cutstomer = 21,600
+ 10% of 21,600 = 21,600 + 2160
The amount paid by the customer = ₹23,760.

(ii) VAT paid by shopkeeper = VAT% (S.P – Shopkeepers S.P)
= 10% (21,600-16,800)

Answer:
If s = 2t3 – 5t2 + 4t – 3
V = $$\frac{d S}{d t}$$ = 6t2 – 10t + 4
Accn = $$\frac{d V}{d t}$$ =12t – 10
(i) 14 = 12t – 10 ⇒ 14 + 10 = 12t ⇒ t = 2secs.
(ii) Vt=2sec = 6.22 – 10.2 + 4 = 24 – 20 + 4 = 8ft/sec
St = 2sec = 2(2)3 – 5(2)2 + 4.2 + 4 = 16 – 20 + 8 + 4 = 8ft.

Answer:

3x + 5 = A(x – 1)2 + A(x + 2)(x – 1) + C(x + 2)
Put x = -2
-6 + 5 = A(-3)2 ⇒ A = $$\frac { -1 }{ 9 }$$
-1 = A(-3)2 ⇒ A = $$\frac { -1 }{ 9 }$$

Put x = 1,
3 + 5 = A(0) + B(0) + C(1 + 2)
8 = 3C ⇒ C= 7

Put x = 0,
5 = A(-1)2 + B(2)(-1) + C(2)
5 = A – 2B+20

Question 41.

Question 42.
Distribute ₹ 632 amongst A, B and Cin such a way that B will get 20 % more than A and C gets 20% less than B
Answer:
Express the money received by B and Cas Ratio
i.e. B receives = $$\frac{120}{100}$$ A, if A = 100 then B = 120
$$\therefore \quad \frac{\mathrm{A}}{\mathrm{B}}=\frac{100}{120}=\frac{5}{6}$$
C receives $$\frac{B}{C}=\frac{100}{80}=\frac{5}{4}$$ B. If B = 100, then C = 80
$$\frac{B}{C}=\frac{100}{80}=\frac{5}{4}$$
A : B = 5 : 6; B : C = 5 : 4
A : B : C = 25 : 30 : 24
∴ 25x + 30x + 24x = 632
79x = 632 ⇒ x = $$\frac{632}{79}$$ = 8
∴ A receives 25 × 8 = Rs. 200
B receives 30 × 8 = Rs. 240
C receives 24 × 8 = Rs. 192

Find the equation of the circle passing through the point (0,5) and (6, 1) and has its centre on the line 12x + 5y = 25.
Answer:
Let the equation of the required circle is
x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 given that this
Equation passes through the points (0,5) and (6, 1)
∴ (0,5) 02 + 52 + 2(0)g + 2(5)f + C=0
10f + C + 25 = 0
(6, 1) 62 + 12 + 2.6g + 2.1f+C = 0 …. (1)
12g + 2f + C + 37 = 0 …. (2)
Also the centre (-g, -f) lies on the line 12x + 5y – 25 = 0
∴ -128 – 5f – 22 = 0 …. (3)
Equation (2) – Equation (1) gives 12g – 8f + 12 = 0 …(4)
Adding equations 3 and 4 we get
-13f – 13 = 0 → f = $$\frac { 13 }{ -13 }$$ -1 ⇒ f = -1
From equation 4
12g = 8f + 12 = – 8 + 12 = 4
g = $$\frac { 1 }{ 3 }$$
10 + C + 25 = 0 ⇒ c = -15
∴ Required equation is x2 + y2 +2$$\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)$$x + 2(-1)y -15=0
⇒ 3x2 + 3y2 + 2x – y – 45 = 0
