SET I
SECTION – A
SECTION – B
16. A ladder 5 m long is leaning against a wall. The bottom of the ladder is pulled along the ground, away from the wall, at the rate of 2 cm/s. How fast is its height on the wall decreasing when the foot of the ladder is 4 m away from the wall? [4]
Solution: Let AC = 5 m be the ladder and y be the height of the wall at which the ladder touches. Also, let the foot of the ladder be at C whose distance from the wall is x m It is given that
18. Form the differential equation of the family of circles in the second quadrant and touching the coordinate axes.[4]
Solution: The equation of circle in second quadrant which touches the coordinate axis is
21. Find the coordinates of the point where the line through the points A = (3,4,1) and B = (5,1,6) crosses the XY- plane. [4]
22. Two cards are drawn simultaneously (without replacement) from a well-shuffled pack of 52 cards. Find the mean and variance of the number of red cards. [4]
SECTION – C
24. Prove that the radius of the right circular cylinder of greatest curved surface area which can be inscribed in a given cone is half of that of the cone. [6]
28. Suppose a girl throws a die. If she gets a 5 or 6, she tosses a coin 3 times and notes the number of heads. If she gets 1, 2, 3 or 4 she tosses a coin once and notes whether a head or tail is obtained. If she obtained exactly one head, what is the probability that she threw 1,2,3 or 4 with the die ? [6]
29. A dietician wishes to mix two types of foods in such a way that the vitamin contents of the mixture contains at least 8 units of vitamin A and 10 units of vitamin C. Food I contains 2 unit/kg of vitamin A and 1 unit /kg of vitamin C while Food II contains 1 unit/kg of vitamin A and 2 unit/kg of vitamin 1 unit/kg of vitamin C. It costs Rs 5 per kg to purchase food I and Rs 7 per kg to purchase Food II. Determine the minimum cost of such a mixture. Formulate the above as a LPP and solve it graphically.[6]
