Section – B

Question 11.
Consider f : R⁺ → [4, ∞) given by f(x) = x² + 4. Show that f is invertible with the inverse f^-1 of f given by f^-1 (y) = \(\sqrt{y-4}\) where R⁺ is the set of all non-negative real numbers. [4]
Solution:
Given, f(x) = x² + 4
f(x₁) = f(x₂)
x²₁ + 4 = x²₂ + 4
x₁ = x₂
Thus, f(x) is one-one.
Since, x² + 4 is a real number. Thus, for every y in the co-domain of f, there exists a number x in R⁺ such that
f(x) = y = x² + 4
Thus, we can say that f(x) is onto.
Now, f(x) is one-one and onto. Hence, f(x) is invertible.

OR
Find the vector equation of the plane through the points (2, 1, -1) and (-1, 3, 4) and perpendicular to the plane x – 2y + 4z = 10.
Solution:
Equation of plane passing through (2, 1, -1) is
a(x – 2) + b(y – 1) + c(z + 1) = 0 …(i)
This plane passes through (-1, 3, 4)
Thus, a(-1 – 2) + b (3 – 1) + c(4 + 1) = 0
⇒ -3a + 2b + 5c = 0 ……..(ii)
Also, the above plane is perpendicular to the plane
x – 2y + 4z = 10
∴ a(1) + b(-2) + c(4) = 0
⇒ a – 2b + 4c = 0 …(iii)
Now, we have
-3a + 2b + 5c = 0
and a – 2b + 4c = 0
Solving the above equation by cross multiplication, we get

Question 27.
In a hockey match, both teams A and B scored same number of goals up to the end of the game, so to decide the winner, the referee asked both the captains to throw a die alternately and decided that the team, whose captain gets a six first, will be declared the winner. If the captain of team A was asked to start, find their respective probabilities of winning the match and state whether the decision of the referee was fair or not. [6]
Solution:
Probability of getting a six by the captains of both the teams A and B is



The decision of the referee was not fair as whosoever starts throwing the die gets an upper hand.

Question 28.
A manufacturer considers that men and women workers are equally efficient and so he pays them at the same rate. He has 30 and 17 units of workers (male and female) and capital respectively; which he uses to produce two types of goods A and B. To produce one unit of A, 2 workers and 3 units of capital are required while 3 workers and 1 unit of capital is required to produce one unit of B. If A and B are priced at ₹ 100 and ₹ 120 per unit respectively, how should he use his resources to maximize the total revenue ? Form the above as an LPP and solve graphically.
Do you agree with this view of the manufacturer that men and women workers are equally efficient and so should be paid at the same rate? [6]
Solution:
Let x units of the goods A and y units of goods B be produced to maximize the total revenue. Then the total revenue is Z = 100x + 120y. This is a linear function which is to be maximized. Hence it is the objective function. The constraints are as per the following table :


2x + 3y = 30
and 3x + y = 17
Solving these equations, we get point P(3, 8).
The vertices of the feasible region are O(0, 0), D(17/3), P (3,8) and A(o,
10).
The value of objective function Z = 100x + 120y at these vertices are as follows :

∴ The maximum revenue ₹ 1260 at the point P(3, 8) i.e., when 3 units of goods A and 8 units of goods B are produced.
Yes, I agree with the view of the manufacturer.

Question 29.
The management committee of a residential colony decided to award some of its members (say x) for honesty, some (say y) for helping others and some others (say z) for supervising the workers to keep the colony neat and clean. The sum of all the awardees is 12. Three times the sum of awardees for cooperation and supervision added to two times the number of awardees for honesty is 33. If the sum of the number of awardees for honesty and supervision is twice the number of awardees for helping others using matrix method, find the number of awardees of each category. Apart from these values namely honesty, cooperation and supervision, suggest one more value which the management of the colony must include for awards. [6]
Solution:
From equation,
x + y + z = 12 …(i)
2x + 3 (y + z) = 33 ⇒ 2x + 3y + 3z = 33 …(ii)
x + z = 2y ⇒ x – 2y + z = 0 …(iii)
∴ The given equations can be written in matrix form
AX = B …(iv)


The colony management must includes cleanliness for awards.
