Marginal cost (MC) =

= 0.005(3x2) – 0.02 (2x) + 30

Q.22. Suppose a girl throws a die. If she gets 1 or 2, she tosses a coin three times and notes the number of tails. If she gets 3, 4, 5 or 6, she tosses a coin once and notes whether a ‘head’ or ‘tail’, is obtained. If she obtained exactly one “tail7, what is the probability that she threw 3, 4, 5 or 6 with the dice? 

Solution : Let E1 be the event that girl gets 1 or 2 on the roll and E2 be the event that girl gets 3, 4, 5, or 6 on the roll of a die.

Let A be the event that she gets exactly one tail. If she tossed coin 3 times and gets exactly one tail then possible outcomes are HTH, HHT, THH.

                                      = 8/11

 

Q.23. Two numbers are selected at random (without replacement) from the first five positive integers. Let X denote the larger of the two numbers obtained. Find the mean and variance of X.

Solution: First five positive integers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. We select two positive numbers in 5 × 4 = 20 ways. Out of these, two numbers are selected at random. Let X denote larger of the two selected numbers. Then, X can have values 2, 3, 4 or 5.

P(X = 2) – P (larger no. is 2) = {(1, 2) and (2, 1)}

Therefore, mean and variance are 4 and 1 respectively.

 

Q.24. Let A = {x ϵ Z : 0 ≤ x ≤ 12}. Show that R = {(a, b): a, b ϵ A, | a – b | is divisible by 4} is an equivalence relation. Find the set of all elements related to 1. Also write the equivalence class . 

Solution: Given, R = {(a, b): a, b ϵ A, | a – b | is divisible by 4}

Reflexivity: For any a ϵ A

| a – a | = 0, which is divisible by 4

(a, a) ϵ R

So, R is reflexive.

Symmetry: Let (a, b) ϵ R

⇒ | a – b | is divisible by 4

⇒ | b – a | is divisible by 4 [ ∵ | a – b | = | b – a | ]

⇒ (b, a) ϵ R

So, R is symmetric.

Transitive : Let (a, b) ϵ R and (b, c) ϵ R

⇒ | a – b | is divisible by 4<br> ⇒ | a – b | = 4k

∴ a – b = ± 4k, k ϵ Z …(i)

Also, |b – c| is divisible by 4

⇒ |b – c| = 4m

∴ b – c = ±4m, m ϵ Z …(ii)

Adding equations (i) and (ii)

a – b + b – c = ±4 (k + m)

⇒ a – c = ±4 (k + m)

|a – c | is divisible by 4,

⇒ (a, c) ϵ R

So, R is symmetric.

⇒ R is reflexive, symmetric and transitive.

∴ R is an equivalence relation.

Let x be an element of R such that (x, 1) ϵ R

Then | x – 1| is divisible by 4

x – 1 = 0, 4, 8, 12,

⇒ -x = 1, 5, 9 (∵ x ≤ 12)

∴ Set of all elements of A which are related to 1 are {1, 5, 9}.

Equivalence class of 2 i.e.

[2] = {(a, 2): a ϵ A, |a – 2| is divisible by 4}

⇒ | a – 2| = 4k(k is whole number, k ≤ 3)

⇒ a = 2, 6, 10

Therefore, equivalence class [2] is {2, 6, 10]

OR

Q.24. Show that the function f : R → R defined by f(x) = , ∀x ϵ R is neither one-one nor onto. Also,if g: R → R is defined as g(x) = 2x – 1, find fog(x).

Q.29. A factory manufactures two types of screws A and B, each type requiring the use of two machines, an automatic and a hand-operated. It takes 4 minutes on the automatic and 6 minutes on the hand-operated machines to manufacture a packet of screws ‘A’ while it takes 6 minutes on the automatic and 3 minutes on the hand- operated machine to manufacture a packet of screws ‘B’. Each machine is available for at most 4 hours on any day. The manufacturer can sell a packet of screws ‘A’ at a profit of 70 paise and screws ‘B’ at a profit of ₹1. Assuming that he can sell all the screws he manufactures, how many packets of each type should the factory owner produce in a day in order to maximize his profit ? Formulate the above LPP and solve it graphically and find the maximum profit 

Solution: Let the number of packets of screw ‘A’ manufactured in a day be x and that of screw B be y.

Plotting the points on the graph, we get the feasible region OABC as shown (Shaded).

Hence, profit will be maximum if company produces 30 packets of screw A and 20 packets of screw B and maximum profit = ₹ 41.
