16. Sand is pouring from a pipe at the rate of 12 cm³/s. The falling sand forms a cone on the ground in such a way that the height of the cone is always one-sixth of the radius of the base. How fast is the height of the sand cone increasing when the height is 4 cm ?
Solution: Let r be the radius, h be the height and V be the volume of the sand cone.

Find the points on the curve x² + y² 2x-3 = 0at which the tangents are parallel to x-axis.
Solution: When the tangent is parallel to x-axis

22. Probabilities of solving a specific problem independently by A and B are 1/2 and 1/3 respectively. If both try to solve the problem independently, find the probability that
(i) the problem is solved
(ii) exactly one of them solves the problem.
Solution: Given,

SECTION – C

24. Show that of all the rectangles inscribed in a given fixed circle, the square has the maximum area.
Solution : Let length of rectangle be x and breadth of rectangle be y.

28. A factory makes tennis rackets*,and cricket bats. A tennis racket takes 1.5 hours of machine time and 3 hours of craftsman’s time in its making while a cricket bat takes 3 hours of machine time and 1 horn1 of craftsman’s time. In a day, the factory has the availability of not more than 42 hours of machine time and 24 hours of craftsman’s time. If the profit on aracket and on a bat is Rs 20 and Rs  10 respectively, find the number of tennis rackets and circket bats that the factory must manufacture to earn the maximum profit. Make it as an L.P.P. and solve graphically.
Solution: Let x be the number of tennis rackets and y that of cricket bats produced in one day in the factory.
