Question 15 Marks
Solve the differential equation: $(x + 1)\frac{dy}{dx} -y = e^{3x} (x + 1)^{3}$
Answer
The given differential equation can be written as
$\frac{dy}{dx} - \frac{1}{x + 1} y = (x + 1) . e^{3x}$
Here, integrating factor = $e^{\int - \frac{1}{x + 1} dx} = \frac{1}{x + 1}$
$\therefore \text{Solution is} \frac{1}{x + 1} = \int(x + 1) e^{3x} dx$
$\therefore \frac{y}{x + 1} = (x + 1)\frac{e^{3x}}{3} - \frac{e^{3x}}{9} + \text{C}$
or $\text y = \bigg[\frac{1}{3}(x + 1)^{2} - \frac{x + 1}{9}\bigg]e^{3x} + \text{C }(x + 1)$

Question 25 Marks
Give that vectors $\overrightarrow{\text{a}}, \overrightarrow{\text{b}}, \overrightarrow{\text{c}}.$ form a triangle such that $\overrightarrow{\text{a}} = \overrightarrow{\text{b}} + \overrightarrow{\text{c}}.$ Find p, q, r, s such that area of triangle is $5\sqrt{6}$ where $\overrightarrow{\text{a}} = \text{p }\hat{i} + \text{q }\hat{j} + \text{r }\hat{k} = \overrightarrow{\text{b}} = \text{s }\hat{i} + \text{3 }\hat{j} + \text{4 }\hat{k} \text{ and} \overrightarrow{\text{c}} = \text{3 }\hat{i} + \hat{j} - \text{2}\hat{k}.$
Answer
$\overrightarrow{a} = \overrightarrow{b} +\overrightarrow{c} \Rightarrow p\hat{i} + q\hat{j} + r\hat{k} = (s + 3) \hat{i} + 4\hat{j} + 2\hat{k}$
$p = s + 3, q = 4, r = 2$
$\text{area} = \frac{1}{2} |\overrightarrow{b} \times\overrightarrow{c}| = 5\sqrt{6}$
$\overrightarrow{b}\times\overrightarrow{c} = \begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ s & 3 & 4 \\ 3 & 1 & -2 \end{vmatrix} = -10\hat{i} + (2s + 12)\hat{j} + (s - 9) \hat{k} $
$\therefore 100 +(2s + 12)^{2} +(s - 9)^{2} = (10\sqrt{6})^{2} = 600$
$\Rightarrow s^{2} + 6s + 55 = 0\Rightarrow s = -11, p = -8, \text{or } s = 5, p = 8$

Question 35 Marks
Differentiate $(\sin 2x)^{x} + \sin^{-1}\sqrt{3x}$ with respect to $x.$
Answer
$\text{y} = (\sin 2{x})^{x} + \sin^{-1}(\sqrt{3x)} = u + v$
$\therefore\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{du}{dx}+ \frac{dv}{dx}$
$u = (\sin 2x)^{x}\Rightarrow \log u = x\log \sin^{2}x$
$\frac{1}{u}\frac{du}{dx} = 2x. \cot 2x + \log \sin 2x$
$\therefore\frac{du}{dx} = (\sin 2x)^{x}[2x \cot 2x + \log \sin 2x]$
$\frac{dv}{dx} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - 3x}}\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2\sqrt{x}}$
$\therefore\frac{dy}{dx} = (\sin 2x)^x[2x \cot 2x + \log \sin 2x] +\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2\sqrt{x} \sqrt{1 - 3x}}$

Question 45 Marks
$\text{Find k, if}\ f(x) = \begin{cases} k\sin\frac{\pi}{2}(x + 1), & x\leq0 \\ \frac{\tan x - \sin x}{x^{3}}, & x\geq0 \end{cases}$ is continuous at $x = 0.$
Answer
$\text{LHL} = \lim\limits_{x\rightarrow \overline0} k.\sin \frac{\pi}{2}(x + 1) = k$
$\text{RHL} = \lim\limits_{x\rightarrow0^{+}} \frac{\tan x(1 - \cos x)}{x^{3}}$
$= \lim\limits_{x\rightarrow0^+}\frac{\tan x}{x}.2\bigg(\frac{\sin x/2}{2x/2}\bigg)^{2} = \frac{1}{2}$
$\Rightarrow k = \frac{1}{2}$

$\begin{matrix} \text{R}_{1}\rightarrow\text{R}_{1} -2\text{R}_{2} \\ \text{R} {3}\rightarrow\text{R}_{3} +3\text{R}_{2} \\ \end{matrix}\Rightarrow \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 1 & 13 \\ 1 & -1 & -5 \\ 0 & -1 & -12 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & -2 & 4 \\ 0 & 1 & -2 \\ 0 & 3 & -5 \end{pmatrix}\text{A} $
$\text{R}_{1}\leftrightarrow\text{R}_{2} \Rightarrow \begin{pmatrix} 1 & -1 & -5 \\ 0 & 1 & 13 \\ 0 & -1 & -12 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 1 & -2 \\ 1 & -2 & 4 \\ 0 & 3 & -5 \end{pmatrix}\text{A} $
$ \begin{matrix} \text{R}_{1}\rightarrow\text{R}_{1} + \text{R}_{2} \\ \text{R}_{3}\rightarrow\text{R}_{3} + \text{R}_{2} \\ \end{matrix}\Rightarrow \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 & 8 \\ 0 & 1 & 13 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & -1 & 2 \\ 1 & -2 & 4 \\ 1 & 1 & -5 \end{pmatrix}\text{A} $
$ \begin{matrix} \text{R}_{1}\rightarrow\text{R}_{1} - \text{8R}_{3} \\ \text{R}_{2}\rightarrow\text{R}_{2} - \text{13R}_{3} \\ \end{matrix}\Rightarrow \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} -7 & -9 & 10 \\ -12 & -15 & 17 \\ 1 & 1 & -1 \end{pmatrix}\text{A} $

$\text{R}_{1}\rightarrow\text{R}_{1} + \text{R}_{2}, \text{and } \text{R}_{2} \rightarrow\text{R}_{2} - \text{R}_{3} \Rightarrow \Delta = (a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2}) \begin{vmatrix} 0 & a^{2} - b^{2} & c(b - a) \\ 0 & b^{2} - c^{2} & a(c - b) \\ 1 & c^{2} & ab \end{vmatrix} $

Question 75 Marks
A die is thrown three times. Events A and B are defined as below:
A: 5 on the first and 6 on the second thrown.
B: 3 or 4 on the third throw.
Find the probability of B, given that A already occurred.
Answer
$\text{A = {(5, 6, 1), (5, 6, 2), (5, 6, 3), (5, 6, 4), (5, 6, 5), (5, 6, 6),}}$
$\text{P(A)} = \frac{6}{6\times6\times6} = \frac{1}{36},\text{P(B) = P}$ (getting 3 or 4 on the third throw)
$\text{A}\cap\text{B} = \text{{(5, 6, 3), (5, 6, 4)}} \Rightarrow\text{P(A}\cap\text{B)} = \frac{2}{6\times6\times6} = \frac{1}{108}$
$\text{P(B/A)} =\frac{\text{P(A}\cap\text{B)}}{\text{P(A)}} = \frac{1}{3}$

if $= (\overrightarrow{\text{a}_{2}} + \overrightarrow{\text{a}_{1}}). (\overrightarrow{\text{b}_{1}} \times \overrightarrow{\text{b}_{2}}).$
Here $(-\hat{\text{i}} + 3\hat{\text{j}} + \hat{\text{k}}). [(\hat{\text{i}} - \hat{\text{j}} + \hat{\text{k}})\times(2\hat{\text{i}} - \hat{\text{j}} + 3\hat{\text{k}})] = 0$
Equation of plane is
$(\overrightarrow{\text{r}}- \overrightarrow{\text{a}_{1}}).(\overrightarrow{\text{b}_{1}}\times \overrightarrow{\text{b}_{2}}). = 0$

Question 135 Marks
Find the particular solution of the differential equation $(1 + \text{x}^{2}) \frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}} = \text{(e}^{\text{m}\tan^{-1}\text{x}} -\text{y}),$ given that $\text{y = 1 when x = 0}$
Answer
Given differential equation can be written as
$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}} + \frac{1}{1 + \text{x}^{2}}\text{y} = \frac{\text{e}^{\text{m}\tan^{-1}\text{x}}}{1 + \text{x}^{2}}$
Intergrating factor is ${\text{e}^{\text{m}\tan{-1}\text{x}}} $
Solution is $\text{y}.{\text{e}^{\tan^{-1}\text{x}}} = \int\frac{\text{e}^{\text{m}\tan^{-1}\text{x}}}{1 + \text{x}^{2}} .{\text{e}^{\tan^{-1}\text{x}}} \text{dx}$
$\Rightarrow\text{y e}^{\tan^{-1}}\text{x} = \int\text{e}^{(\text{m + 1 )t}}\text{dt}, \text{where} \tan^{-1}\text{x = t} $
$= \frac{\text{e}^{(\text{m + 1) t}}}{\text{m} + 1} = \frac{\text{e}^{(\text{m} + 1)\tan^{-1} \text{x}}}{\text{m + 1}} + \text{c}$
$\text{y = 1, x = 0}\Rightarrow\text{c} = \frac{\text{m}}{\text{m + 1}}$
$\text{y e}^{\tan^{-1}\text{x}} = \frac{\text{e}^{(\text{m} + 1)\tan^{-1} \text{x}}}{\text{m + 1}} + \frac{\text{m}}{\text{m + 1}}$

$\text{If } x \cos\text{( a + y)} = \cos\text{y}$ then prove that $\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}} = \frac{\cos^{2}\text{(a + y)}}{\sin\text{a}}.$
$\sin\text{a}\frac{\text{d}^{2}{\text{y}}}{\text{dx}^{2}} + \sin2\text{(a + y)}\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}} = 0.$
Answer
$\frac{\text{dx}}{\text{dy}} = \frac{\sin\text{a}}{\cos^{2}\text{(a + y)}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}} = \frac{\cos^{2}\text{(a + y)}}{\sin\text{a}}$
$\frac{\text{d}^{2}\text{y}}{\text{dx}^{2}} = \frac{-2\cos\text{(a + y)}\sin\text{(a + y)}}{\sin\text{a}} \frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}$

Question 205 Marks
Find the equations of the tangent and the normal to the curve $\text{y} = \frac{\text{x} - 7}{(\text{x} -2) (\text{x} -3)}$ at the point where it cuts the x-axis.
Answer
Given curve cust the x - axis when y = 0
when y = 0, x = 7, hence point is (7, 0)
$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}} = \frac{1 - \text{y ( 2x - 5})}{\text{x}^{2} -\text{5 x + 6}} $
$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}\bigg]_{(7, 0)} = \frac{1}{20}$
Equation of the tangent is $\text{y - 0} = \frac{1}{20} \text{(x - 7)}$
$\Rightarrow \text{x - 20y = 7}$
Equation of the normal is $\text{y - 0 = - 20 (x - 7)} $
$\Rightarrow\text{20x + y = - 7}$

Question 215 Marks
The standard weight of a special purpose brick is 5 kg and it must contain two basic ingredients costs 5 per kg and $\text{B}_{2}$ costs 8 per kg. Strength considerations dictate that the brick should contain not more than 4 kg of and minimum 2 kg of $\text{B}_{2}$. Since the demand for the product is likely to be related to the price of the brick, find the minimum cost of brick satisfying the above conditions. Formulate this situation as an LPP and solve it graphically.

Question 225 Marks
Check whether the $\ast$ operation defined on the set $ \text{A = R} \times \text{R as} $
$\text{(a, b)} \ast \text{(c, d)} = \text{(a + c, b + d)}$
is a binary operation or not, where R is the set of all real numbers. If it is a binary operation, is it commutative and associative too? Also find the identity element of $\ast$.
Answer
$\text{(a, b)} \ast \text{(c, d)} = \text{(a + c, b + d)} \ \forall \ \text{a, b, c, d}\in \text{R}$
Since $\text{a + c}\in \text{R}$ and $\text{b + d}\in \text{R} \Rightarrow \text{(a + c, b+ d)} \in \text{R}\times\text{R}$
$\text{i.e} \ast \text{is binary operation}$
For commutative
$\text{consider (c, d)}\ast\text{(a, b}) = \text{(c + a, d + b)}$
$=\text{(a + c, b + d)}$
$\Rightarrow'\ast' \text{is commutative}$
For Associateive
$\text{(a, b), (c, d), (e, f)}\in \text{R}\times\text{R = A}$
$\text{[(a, b)}\ast \text{(c, d)}\ast\text{(e, f)} = \text{(a + c, b + d)}\ast \text{(e, f)} $
$= \text{(a + c + e, b + d + f)}\dots\dots\dots\dots\text{(i)}$
$\text{again (a, b)}\ast \text{[(c, d)]}\ast\text{(e, f)]} = \text{(a, b)}\ast \text{(c + e, d + f)}$
$= \text{(a + c + e, b + d + f)}\dots\dots\dots\text{(ii)}$
$\text{(i)} \&\text{(ii)} \Rightarrow '\ast' \text{is associtative}$
$\text{For identity element}$
$\text{Let (e}_1,\text{e}_{2}) \in \text{R}\times\text{R}$ be the identity element (if exists)
then $\text{a , b)}\ast \text{(e}_{1}, \text{e}_{2}) = \text{(a, b)} = \text{(e}_{1}, \text{e}_{2})\ast\text{(a, b)}$
$\Rightarrow\text({e}_{1}, \text{e}_{2}) = \text{0 , 0)} \in \text{R}\times\text{R} $

Answer
$\text{(3x + 5)}\sqrt{5 + \text{4x} - \text{2x}^{2}} \text{ dx}$
$\text{let 3x + 5 = A (4 - 4x) + B}$
$\Rightarrow\text{A} = -\frac{3}{4},\text{B} = 8$

Answer
$\text{y} = \frac{4\sin\text{x}}{2 + \cos \text{x}} - \text{x, x} \in [0, 2\pi] $
$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}} = \frac{(2 + \cos\text{x)}4\cos\text{x} - 4\sin\text{x} (- \sin \text{x)}}{(2 + \cos\text{x})^{2}} - 1$
$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}} = \frac{\cos\text{x}(4 - \cos\text{x})}{(2 + \cos\text{x})^{2}}$
$\text{f(x) is strictly increasing for f'(x) > 0}$
$\text{i.e.}\ \ \ \cos \text{x} > 0 \Rightarrow\text{x} \in\bigg[0, \frac{\pi}{2}\bigg)\cup\bigg(\frac{3\pi}{2}, 2\pi\bigg]$

Answer
P (winning) $= \frac{1}{9}$
P (not winning)$=\frac{8}{9}$
P(A winning) $= \text{P(A) + P}(\overline{\text{A}}\text{ }\overline{\text{B}}\text{ }\overline{\text{C}}\text{ }\overline{\text{A}}) + \text{P}(\overline{\text{A}}\text{ }\overline{\text{B}}\text{ }\overline{\text{C}}\text{ }\overline{\text{A}}\text{ }\overline{\text{B}}\text{ }\overline{\text{C}}\text{ }{\text{A}}) +\dots\dots$
$=\frac{1}{9} +\bigg(\frac{8}{9}\bigg)^{3} \frac{1}{9}+\bigg(\frac{8}{9}\bigg)^{6}\frac{1}{9}+\dots\dots$
$=\frac{\frac{1}{9}}{1 - \frac{512}{729}} = \frac{81}{217}$
P(B writing) $\text{P}(\overline{\text{A}}\text{B}) + \text{P}(\overline{\text{A}}\text{ }\overline{\text{B}}\text{ }\overline{\text{C}}\text{ }\overline{\text{A}}\text{ }{\text{B}}) + \text{P}(\overline{\text{A}}\text{ }\overline{\text{B}}\text{ }\overline{\text{C}}\text{ }\overline{\text{A}}\text{ }\overline{\text{B}}\text{ }\overline{\text{C}}\text{ }\overline{\text{A}}\text{B})+\dots\dots$

Answer
$\text{(a, b)R(c, d)}\Rightarrow\text{a + d = b + c}$
$\therefore\text{a + b = b + a}$
$\Rightarrow\text{(a, b) R (a, b)}\forall \text{(a. b)}\in \text{A}\times\text{A}$
$\Rightarrow\text{R is reflexive}$
$\text{(a, b) R(c, d)} \Rightarrow\text{a + d = b + c}$
$\Rightarrow \text{b + c = a + d}$
$\Rightarrow\text{c + b = d + a}$
$\Rightarrow\text{(c, d )R( a, b)}$
$\Rightarrow\text{R is symmetric}$
$\text{For (a, b) (c, d) }\& \text{ e, f)} \in \text{A}\times\text{A}$
$\text{(a, b) R (c, d)}\Rightarrow\text{a + d = b + c } \dots\dots(1)$
$\text{(c, d) R (e, f)}\Rightarrow\text{xc + f = d + e } \dots\dots\dots(2)$
adding (1) & (2), we get
$\text{a + d + c + f = b + c + d + e}$
$\Rightarrow\text{a + f = b + e}$
$\Rightarrow\text{(a, b) R(e, f)}$
$\therefore\text{R is transistive.}$
Hence R is an equivalence relation.

let ABC be the right triangle with $\angle\text{B} = 90^{0}$
$\angle\text{ACB} = \theta, \text{AC = Y, BC = x, x + y = k (constant)}$
$\text{A(Area of triangle)} = \frac{1}{2}.\text{BC.AB} = \frac{1}{2}.\text{x} \sqrt{\text{y}^{2} - \text{x}^{2}}$
$\text{let z A}^{2} = \frac{1}{4}\text{x}^{2}(\text{y}^{2} - \text{x}^{2}) = \frac{1}{4}\text{x}^{2} \left\{\text{(k}{ - }{\text{x)}^{2}} - \text{x}^{2}\right\} = \frac{1}{4} (\text{x}^{2}\text{k}^{2} - \text{2kx}^{3})$
$\frac{\text{dz}}{\text{dx}}= \frac{1}{4}\text{(2xk}^{2} - \text{6kx}^{2}) \text{ and } \frac{\text{dz}}{\text{dx}} = 0 \Rightarrow\text{x} = \frac{\text{k}}{3}, \text{y = k} {- \text{x}} = \frac{\text{2k}}{3} $
$\frac{\text{d}^{2}\text{z}}{\text{dx}^{2}}\bigg]_{\text{x} = \frac{\text{k}}{3}}= \frac{1}{4}\text{(2k}^{2} {- 12}{\text{kx}})\bigg]_{\text{x} = \frac{\text{k}}{3}}= -\frac{\text{k}^{2}}{2}<0$
$\therefore \text{z and area of } \triangle\text{ABC is max at x} = \frac{\text{k}}{3} $

$\text{put y = v x} \Rightarrow \frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}} = \text{v + x}\frac{\text{dv}}{\text{dx}}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1 + \text{v}^{2}}{\text{v}^{3}} = -\frac{\text{dx}}{\text{x}}$
Intergrating both sides
$-\frac{1}{2\text{v}^{2}} + \log \text{v} = -\log \text{x + c}$
$\Rightarrow - \frac{\text{x}^{2}}{\text{2y}^{2}} + \log \text{y = c} $
$\text{When x = 1, y = 1} \Rightarrow \text{c} = -\frac{1}{2}$
$\Rightarrow \log\text{y} = \frac{\text{x}^{2} - \text{y}^{2}}{2\text{y}^{2}}$
$\text{When x = x}_{0}, \text{y = c} \Rightarrow \text{x}_{0} = \sqrt{3} e$

Question 395 Marks
A dealer in a rural area wishes to purchase some sewing machines. He has only to invest and has space for at most 20 items. An electronic machine costs him 3,600 and a manually operated machine costs 2,400. He can sell an electronic machine at a profit of 220 and a manually operated machine at a profit of 180. Assuming that he can sell all the machines that he buys, how should he invest his money in order to maximise his profit? Make it as a LPP and solve it graphically.
Answer
Let us consider the man invested on x Electronic and y manually operated machines, $\text{Maximise P = 220 x + 180 y}\dots\dots\dots\dots\dots\dots\text{(i)}$ subject to $\text{x + y}\leq20$ $\text{3600 x + 2400 y}\leq 57600 \Rightarrow \text{3x + 2y}\leq48$ $\text{x + y}\geq 0$
$\text{P}\bigg|_{\text{A}(16, 0)} = 3520 \text{Rs.}$ $\text{P}\bigg|_{\text{B}(8, 12)} = 3920\text{Rs.}$ $\text{P}\bigg|_{\text{C}(0, 20)} = 3600\text{Rs.} $ $\text{Maximum profit is Rs. 3920 at x = 8, y = 12}$

Question 405 Marks
A window is in the form of a rectangle surmounted by a semicircular opening. The total perimeter of the window is 10 m. Find the dimensions of the window to admit maximum light through the whole opening.
Answer

Let dimensions of the rectangle be x and y (as shown)
$\therefore\ $Perimeter of window p $=2\text{y}+\text{x}+\pi\frac{\text{x}}{2}=10\text{m}\dots(\text{i})$
Area of window A = $\text{x}\text{y}+\frac{\text{1}}{2}\pi\frac{\text{x}^2}{4}$
$\text{A}=\text{x}\Big[5-\frac{\text{x}}{2}-\pi\frac{\text{x}}{4}\Big]+\frac{\text{1}}{2}\pi\frac{\text{x}^2}{4}$
$=5\text{x}-\frac{\text{x}^2}{2}-\pi\frac{\text{x}^2}{8}$
$\frac{\text{dA}}{\text{dx}}=5-\text{x}-\pi\frac{\text{x}}{\text{4}}=0\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{20}{4+\pi}$
$\frac{\text{d}^2\text{A}}{\text{dx}^2}=\Big(-1-\frac{\pi}{4}\Big)<0$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{x}=\frac{20}{4+\pi},\text{y}=\frac{10}{4+\pi}$will give maximum light.

Question 415 Marks
If the sum of the lengths of the hypotenuse and a side of a right triangle is given, show that the area of the triangle is maximum, when the angle between them is $60^\circ$.
Answer
let the length of the side AB of rt.$\triangle$ ABC be x andthat of hypotenuse AC be y, and
x + y = k (given)
Area of $\triangle$ABC $=\frac1 2\sqrt{\text{y}^2-\text{x}^2}.\text{x}$
$\text{let S}=\frac1 4\text{x}^2(\text{y}^2-\text{x}^2)$
$=\frac1 4\text{x}^2[(\text{k}-\text{x})^2-\text{x}^2]$
$=\frac1 4[\text{k}^2\text{x}^2-2\text{k}\ \text{x}^3]$
$\frac{\text{ds}}{\text{dx}}=0\Rightarrow\frac1 4[2\text{k}^2\text{x}-6\text{k}\text{x}^2]=0\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{\text{k}}{3}$
$\text{and}\ \frac{\text{d}^2\text{s}}{\text{dx}^2}=\frac1 4[2\text{k}^2-12\text{k}\text{x}]=\frac1 4(2\text{k}^2-4\text{k}^2)<0$
$\therefore\ $area of $\triangle$ is maximum for x = k/3 and y = k – k/3 = 2k/3
$\therefore\ $$\cos\theta=\frac{\text{x}}{\text{y}}=\frac1 2\text {hence}\theta=\frac{\pi}{3}$

Question 425 Marks
Ishan wants to donate a rectangular plot of land for a school in his village. When he was asked to give dimensions of the plot, he told that if its length is decreased by 50 m and breadth is increased by 50 m, then its area will remain same, but if length is decreased by 10 m and breadth is decreased by 20 m, then its area will decrease by $5300 \text{ m}^{2}.$ Using matrices, find the dimensions of the plot. Also give reason why he wants to donate the plot for a school.
Answer
Let length be x m and breadth be y m
$\therefore(x\ – \ 50)(y + 50) = xy⇒ 50x\ – \ 50y = 2500 \ \ or\ \ x\ –\ y = 50$
and $(x \ – \ 10)(y\ – \ 20) = xy\ – \ 5300 \Rightarrow 2x + y = 550$
$ \begin{pmatrix} 1 & -1 \\ 2 & 1 \\ \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \\ \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 50 \\ 550 \\ \end{pmatrix} \Rightarrow \begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \\ \end{pmatrix} =\frac{1} 3{} \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 1 \\ -2 & 1 \\ \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} 50 \\ 550 \\ \end{pmatrix} $
$\Rightarrow x = \frac{1}{3}(600) =200\text{ m}, y = \frac{1}{3}(450) = 150 \text{ m}$

Evaluate: $\int\limits^{1}_{0}\cot^{-1}(1 - x + x^{2}) dx$
Answer
$\text{I} = \int\limits^{1}_{0} \cot^{-1}(1 - x + x^{2}) dx = \int\limits^{1}_{0}\tan^{-1}\bigg( \frac{1}{1 - x + x^{2}}\bigg)dx$
$=\int\limits^{1}_{0} \tan^{-1}\bigg(\frac{x + (1 - x)}{1 - x (1 - x)}\bigg)dx = \int\limits^{1}_{0}\tan^{-1}x\text{ }dx + \int\limits^{1}_{0}\tan^{-1}(1 - x) dx$
$ = 2\int\limits^{1}_{0}\tan^{-1} x\text{ }dx$
$= 2\Bigg[\bigg(\tan^{-1}x.x\bigg)^{1}_{0} - \int\limits^{1}_{0}\frac{x}{1 + x^{2}}dx\Bigg]$

Question 445 Marks
Determine the intervals in which the function $f (x) = x^4 - 8x^3 + 22x^2 - 24x + 21$is strictly increasing or strictly decreasing.
Answer
$f' (x) = 4x^3 - 24x^2 + 44x - 24$
$= 4(x^{3} - 6x^{2} + 11x - 6) = 4(x-1(x - 2) (x - 3)$
$f'(x) = 0 \Rightarrow x = 1, x = 2, x = 3$
The invertible are $(- \infty, 1), (1, 2) (2, 3), (3, \infty)$
$\text{since} f' (x) > 0 \text{ in} (1, 2) \text{and} (3, \infty)$
$\therefore f(x)$ is strictly increasing in $(1, 2) \cup(3, \infty)$
and strictly decreasing in $(-\infty, 1) \cup(2, 3)$

Question 465 Marks
Find the direction ratios of the normal to the plane, which passes through the points $\text{(1, 0, 0) and (0, 1, 0)}$and makes angle $\frac{\pi}{4}$ with the plane $\text{x + y = 3.}$ Also find the equation of the plane.
Answer
Equation of plane passing through (1, 0, 0)
$\text{a (x – 1) + b (y – 0) + c (z – 0) = 0}$
$\text{or a x + b y + c z – a = 0} \dots\dots\dots\dots\dots\dots\text{(i)}$
Plane (i) passes throgh (0, 1, 0)
$\text{b – a = 0}\dots\dots\dots\dots\dots\dots\dots\dots\text{(ii)}$
Angle between plane (i) and plane $\text{x + y = 3 is}\frac{\pi}{4}$
$\therefore\cos\frac{\pi}{4} = \frac{\text{a + b}}{\sqrt{\text{a}^{2} + \text{b}^{2} + \text{c}^{2} \sqrt{2}}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{\text{a + b}}{\sqrt{\text{a}^{2} + \text{b}^{2} + \text{c}^{2} \sqrt{2}}}$
$ \Rightarrow \text{a + b} = \sqrt{\text{a}^{2}+ \text{b}^{2} + \text{c}^{2}}$
$\Rightarrow \text{2a} = \sqrt{\text{2a}^{2} + \text{c}^{2}} \text{ (using ii)}$
$\Rightarrow \text{c} = \pm \sqrt{2}\text{ a}\dots\dots\dots\dots\dots\dots\text{(iii)}$
$\therefore\text{Equation (i) becomes}$
$\text{a(x - 1) + a (y - 0)}\pm \sqrt{2} \text{a(z - 0) = 0}$
$\Rightarrow \text{x + y}\pm\sqrt{2}\text{ z - 1 = 0}$
$\text{D.R}'^{s} \text{of the normal is 1, 1,}\pm \sqrt{2}$

Let $\text{f : W}\rightarrow\text{W}$ be defined as
$\text{f(n)} = \begin{cases} \text{n -1}, & \text{if n is odd} \\ \text{n+1}, &\text{if n is even} \end{cases}$
Show that f is invertible and find the inverse of f. Here, W is the set of all whole numbers.
Answer
$\text{One - One : - Case I : when x and y are even}$
$\text{f(x) = f(y)}\Rightarrow \text{x + 1 = y + 1} \Rightarrow\text{x = y}$
$\text{Case II : when x and y are odd}$
$\text{f(x) = f(y)} \Rightarrow \text{x - 1 =y - 1} \Rightarrow \text{x = y}$
$\text{Case III : one of them is even and one of hem is odd}$
$\text{f(x)}\neq \text{f(y)} \Rightarrow \text{x + 1}\neq \text{y - 1} \Rightarrow \text{x}\neq\text{y}$
$\text{Onto : Let y}\in \text{W}$
$\text{f(y - 1) = y if y is odd}$
$\text{f(y + 1) = y if y is even}$
$\text{So}\forall \text{y} \in \text{W, there exist some element vin domain of f}$
$\Rightarrow \text{f is invertible}$
$\text{f}^{-1}{(\text{x})} = \begin{cases} \text{x -1}, & \text{x is odd} \\ \text{x+1}, &\text{x is even}\end{cases}$
