∵ The column transformation C2 → C2 - 2C1 is applied.

∴ This transformation is applied on LHS and on second matrix of RHS.

20. (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: Let f(x) = x2 - 8x + 17
∴ f'(x) = 2x - 8
So, f'(x) = 0, gives x = 4
Here x = 4 is the critical number
Now, f''(x) = 2 > 0 , ∀ x
So, x = 4 is the point of local minima.
∴ Minimum value of f(x) at x = 4,
f(4) = 4 × 4 - 8 × 4 + 17 = 1
Hence, we can say that both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.

It is given that y(0) = 3
∴ 3 = 0 × log (0 + 1) - 0 + log (0 + 1) + C

⇒ C = 3

Substituting the value of C in (i), we get

y = x log (x + 1) + log (x + 1) - x + 3
⇒ y = (x + 1) log (x + 1) - x + 3
Hence, y = (x + 1) log (x + 1) - x + 3 is the solution to the given differential equation.

Now, let x = (1.05)10

Taking log both sides, we get
log x = 10 log (1.05)
= 10 × 0.0212

⇒ x = antilog (0.2120)

Thus, (1.05)10 = 1.629

Now, p = 1.629−1

3x + 5y = 15, 5x + 2y = 10, x = 0 and y = 0
Region represented by 3x + 5y ≤ 15: The line 3x + 5y = 15 meets the coordinate axes at A1(5, 0) and B1(0, 3) respectively. Join
these points to obtain the line 3x + 5y = 15. Clearly, (0,0) satisfies the inequation 3x + 5y ≤ 15. So, the region containing the
origin represents the solution set of the inequation 3x + 5y < 15.
Region Represented by 5x + 2y ≤ 10: The line 5x + 2y = 10 meets the coordinate axes at A2(2, 0) and B2(0, 5) respectively. Join
these points to obtain the graph of the line 5x + 2y = 10. Clearly, (0, 0) satisfies the inequation 5x + 2y ≤ 10. So, the region
containing the origin represents the solution set of this inequation.
Region represented by x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0: Since every point in the first quadrant satisfies these inequations. So, the first quadrant is
the region represented by the inequations x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0. The shaded region OA2 PB1 in figure represents the common region
of the above inequations. This region is the feasible region of the given LPP.

These points have been obtained by solving the equations of the corresponding intersecting lines, simultaneously.
The values of the objective function at these points are given in the following table:

Converting the inequations into equations, we obtain the lines -2x + y = 4, x + y = 3, x - 2y = 2, x = 0 and y = 0.
These lines are drawn on a suitable scale and the feasible region of the LPP is shaded in Figure.

Now, give a value, say 15 equal to (1 c.m. of 3 and 5) to Z to obtain the line 3x + 5y = 15. This line meets the coordinate axes at
P1(5, 0) and Q1(0, 3). Join these points by a dotted line. Move this line parallel to itself in the decreasing direction towards the
origin so that it passes through only one point of the feasible region. Clearly, P3Q3 is such a line passing through the vertex P of
the feasible region. The coordinates of P are obtained by solving the lines x - 2y = 2 and x + y = 3. Solving these equations, we get
8 1 8 1
x= 3

x + 3y >3 ...(ii)
and x + y ≤ 5 ...(iii)

Page 16 of 20
 To draw the graph of 3y - 2x < 4:
We draw the straight line 3y - 2x = 4 which passes through the points (-2, 0) and (0, 4

3
) . The line divides the plane into two parts.
Further, as O(0, 0) satisfies the inequality 3y - 2x < 4.
(∵ 3 × 0 - 2 × 0 = 0 < 4), therefore, the graph consists of that part of the plane divided by the line 3y - 2x = 4 which contains the
origin.
Similarly, draw the graphs of other two inequalities x + 3y > 3 and x + y ≤ 5.

Shade the common part of the graphs of all the three given inequalities (i), (ii) and (iii).
The solution set consists of all the points in the shaded part of the coordinate plane shown in fig. The points on the line segment
BC are included in the solution.

The information provided can be summarized in the tabular form as follows:
Brackets Drilling Turning Grinding

Type I 0 5 4

Type II 3 3 2

Type III 3 2 2

Time available (in minutes) 10 × 60 = 600 8 × 60 = 480 7 × 60 = 420

Let x, y and z denote the number of brackets produced of each type. Then, the time taken by drilling machine to produce x, y and
z brackets of type I, II and III respectively, is 0x + 3y + 3z minutes. But the time for which the drilling machine is available is 600
minutes.
∴ 0x + 3y + 3z = 600

Similarly, for turning and grinding machines, we obtain

5x + 3y + 2z = 480 and 4x + 2y + 2z = 420
Thus, we obtain the following system of linear equations
0x + 3y + 3z = 600
5x + 3y + 2z = 480
4x + 2y + 2z + 420
In matrix form, the above system can be written as

So, A is invertible.
Let Cij be cofactor of aij in A = [aij]. Then,
C11 = 2, C12 = -2, C13 = -2, C21 = 0, C22 = -12, C23 = 12, C31 = -3, C32 = 15, C33 = -15

Hence, 5 brackets of Type-I, 55 brackets of Type-II and 145 brackets of Type-III should be produced to keep all machines fully

Loans are an integral part of our lives today. We take loans for a specific purpose - for buying a home, or a car,
or sending kids abroad for education - loans help us achieve some significant life goals. That said, when we talk
about loans, the word “EMI", eventually crops up because the amount we borrow has to be returned to the lender
with interest.
Suppose a person borrows ₹1 lakh for one year at the fixed rate of 9.5 percent per annum with a monthly rest. In
this case, the EMI for the borrower for 12 months works out to approximately ₹8,768.

 Let the rate of interest allowed by the banker be r. It is given that re = 9.43

100
= 0.0943
∴ r = 2.3025 log (1 + re)
⇒ r = 2.3025 log (1.0943) = 2.3025 × 0.0391 = 0.0900
Thus, the rate of interest allowed by the banker is 9% compounded continuously
If the interest is compounded quarterly, then
r = 0.09, m = 4

Let x large boxes and y small boxes be manufactured.
The number of boxes cannot be negative. Therefore, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0
The large boxes require 4 sq. metre per box while the small boxes require 3 sq. metre per box and if 60 sq. metre of cardboard is
stock.

The manufacturer is required to make at least three large boxes and at least twice as many small boxes as large boxes.

If the profits on the large and small boxes are ₹3 and ₹2 per box. Therefore, profit gained by him on x large boxes and y small
boxes is ₹3x and ₹2y respectively.
Total profit = Z = 3x + 2y
The mathematical formulation of the given problem is
Max Z = 3x + 2y
subject to
4x + 3y ≤ 60
x≥3
y ≥ 2x
x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0
First we will convert inequations into equations as follows:

Page 15 of 21
 4x + 3y = 60, x = 3, y = 2x, x = 0 and y = 0
The region represented by 4x + 3y ≤ 60:
The line 4x + 3y = 60 meets the coordinate axes at A(15, 0) and B(0, 20) respectively. By joining these points we obtain the line
4x + 3y = 60. Clearly (0, 0) satisfies the 4x + 3y = 60. So, the region which contains the origin represents the solution set of the
inequation 4x + 3y ≤ 60.
Region represented by x ≥ 3:
The line x = 3 is the line passes through (3, 0) and is parallel to Y-axis. The region to the right of the line x = 3 will satisfy the
inequation
x≥3
Region represented by y ≥ 2x:
The line y = 2x is the line that passes through (0, 0). The region above the line y = 2x will satisfy the inequation y ≥ 2x. Like if
we take an example taking a point (5, 1) below the line y = 2x. Here, 1 < 10 which does not satisfies the inequation y ≥ 2x.
Hence, the region above the line y = 2x will satisfy the inequality y ≥ 2x.
Region represented by x ​≥ 0 and y ≥ ​0 :
Since, every point in the first quadrant satisfies these inequations. So, the first quadrant is the region represented by the
inequations x ≥ ​0, and y ≥ ​0.
The feasible region determined by the system of constraints 4x + 3y ≤ 60, x ≥ ​ 3, y ≥ 2x, x ≥ ​0 and y ≥ ​0 are as follows

The corner points are E (3, 16), D(6, 12) and C(3, 6). The values of Z at the corner points are
Corner points Z = 3x + 2y

E 41

D 42

C 21
The maximum value of Z is 42 which is at D(6, 12).
Thus, for a maximum profit is ₹42, 6units of large boxes and 12 units of smaller boxes should be manufactured.
33. We have been a week's data
Cost of cassette, C = 300 + x
3

Revenue, R = 2x
Where x = number of cassettes produced and sold in a week.
We know that profit is given by, Profit = Revenue - Cost …(i)
Revenue is the income that a business has from its normal business activities, usually from the sale of goods and services to
customers.
A cost is the value of money that has been used up to produce something or deliver a service and hence is not available for use
anymore.
And Profit is the gain in the business.
So, it is justified that profit in any business would be measured by the difference in the capital generated by the business and the
capital used up in the business.
Profit generated by the company manufacturing cassettes is given by,

Page 16 of 21
 Profit = R - C (from (i))
Where, R = Revenue
C = Cost of cassette
Here,
If R < C, then
Profit < 0
⇒ There is a loss.

If R = C, then
Profit = 0
⇒ There is no profit no loss.

If R > C, then
Profit > 0
⇒ There is a profit.

We need to find the number of cassettes sold to make a profit. That is, we need to find x.
So, R > C (to realize a profit)
Substituting values of R and C. We get
2x > 300 + x 3

3
⇒ 2x - 2
x > 300
4x−3x
⇒ > 300
2
x
⇒ > 300

⇒ x > 300 × 2
⇒ x > 600
This means that x must be greater than 600.
Thus, the company must sell more than 600 cassettes to realize a profit.

Loans are an integral part of our lives today. We take loans for a specific purpose - for buying a home, or a car, or sending kids
abroad for education - loans help us achieve some significant life goals. That said, when we talk about loans, the word “EMI",
eventually crops up because the amount we borrow has to be returned to the lender with interest.
Suppose a person borrows ₹1 lakh for one year at the fixed rate of 9.5 percent per annum with a monthly rest. In this case, the
EMI for the borrower for 12 months works out to approximately ₹8,768.
Example:
In year 2000, Mr. Tanwar took a home loan of ₹3000000 from State Bank of India at 7.5% p.a. compounded monthly for 20 years.

(c) (40, 15)
Explanation:
Given objective function is Z = x + y
Constraints are:
x + 2y ≤ 70
2x + y ≤ 95, x, y ≥ 0
Let us consider these constraints as equations for a while, then we will have,
x + 2y = 70 ...(i)
2x + y = 95 ...(ii)
Now, graph the equations, by transforming the equations to intercept form of line.
Equation (i) dividing throughout by 70
x 2y 70
+ =
70 70 70
y
x

70
+

The line x + 2y = 70 can be plot in the graph as a line passing through the points, (70, 0) and (0, 35) as 70 and 35 are the
intercepts of the line on the x-axis and y-axis respectively.
Similarly equation (ii) can be divided 95 to get
2x y 95
+ =
95 95 95
y

The line 2x + y = 95 can be plot in the graph as a line passing through the points, ( 95

2
, 0) and (0, 95) as 95

2
and 95 are the
intercepts of the line on the x-axis and y-axis respectively.
By considering the constraints x, y ≥ 0, this clearly shows that the region can only be in the 1st quadrant.
The graph of the inequations will look like,

Page 8 of 22
 The points OABC is the feasible region of the LPP.
Now from the points O, A, B and C the vertices of the polygon formed by the constraints, one of the points will provide the
maximum solution to the function Z = x + y
Now checking the points, O, A, B and C by substituting in Z = x + y
Z at O(0, 0) Z=0+0=0

Z at A (0, 35) Z = 0 + 35 = 35

Z at B(40, 15) Z = 40 + 15 = 55
95 95 95
Z at C( 2

From the above values, it is clear that Z maximized at point B(40, 15).

For x = 1, 100 - 1 = 99 which is not divisible by 7
For x = 2, 100 - 2 = 98 which is divisible by 7.

14. (a) (5, 0)

(b) q = 3p
Explanation: Given the vertices of the feasible region are:
Q(0, 0)
A(5, 0)
B(3, 4)
C(0, 5)
Also given the objective function is Z = px + qy
Now substituting O, A, B and C in Z
Z at O(0, 0) Z = P(0) + q(0) = 0

Z at A(5, 0) Z = p(5) + q(0) = 5p + 0 = 5p

Z at B(3, 4) Z = p(3) + q(4) = 3p + 4q

Z at C(0, 5) Z = p(0) + q(5) = 0 + 5q

Page 10 of 22
 As per the condition on p and q so that the maximum of Z occurs at both (3, 4) and (0, 5)

32. Let the dietician mix x kg of food I with y kg of food II. Then, the mathematical model of the LPP is as follows:
Minimize Z = 5x + 7y
Subject to 2x + y ≥ 8
x + 2y ≥ 10
and, x, y ≥ 0
To solve this LPP graphically, we first convert the inequations into equations to obtain the following lines.
2x + y = 8, x + 2y = 10, x = 0, y = 0
The line 2x + y = 8 meets the coordinate axes at A1(4, 0) and B1(0, 8). Join these points to obtain the line represented by 2x + y =
8. The region not containing the origin is represented by 2x + y ≥ 8.
The line x + 2y = 10 meets the coordinate axes at A2(10, 0) and B2(0, 5). Join these points to obtain the line represented by x + 2y
= 10. Clearly, O(0, 0) does not satisfy the inequation x + 2y ≥ 10. So, the region not containing the origin is represented by this
inequation.
Clearly, x ≥ 0 and, y ≥ 0 represent the first quadrant.
Thus, the shaded region in figure is the feasible region of the LPP. The coordinates of the comer-points of this region are A2(10,
0), P(2, 4) and B1(0, 8).

The point P (2, 4) is obtained by solving 2x + y = 8 and x + 2y = 10 simultaneously.

The values of the objective function Z = 5x + 7y at the corner points of the feasible region are given in the following table:

Page 16 of 22
Point (x, y) Value of the objective function Z = 5x + 7y

A2(10, 0) Z = 5 × 10 + 7 × 0 = 50

P(2, 4) Z = 5 × 2 + 7 × 4 = 38

B1(0, 8) Z = 5 × 0 + 7 × 8 = 56

Clearly, Z is minimum at x = 2 and y = 4. The minimum value of Z is 38. We observe that open half-plane represented by 5x + 7y
< 38 does not have points in common with the feasible region. So, Z has a minimum value equal to 38 at x = 2 and y = 4.
Hence, the optimal mixing strategy for the dietician will be to mix 2 kg of food I and 4 kg of food II. In this case, his cost will be
minimum and the minimum cost will be ₹ 38.00

What Is a Sinking Fund?
A sinking fund contains money set aside or saved to pay off a debt or bond. A company that issues debt will need to pay that debt
off in the future, and the sinking fund helps to soften the hardship of a large outlay of revenue. A sinking fund allows companies
that have floated debt in the form of bonds gradually save money and avoid a large lump-sum payment at maturity.
Example:
Cost of Machine: ₹2,00,000/-
Effective Life: 7 Years
Scrap Value: ₹30,000/-
Sinking Fund Earning Rate: 5%
The Expected Cost of New Machine: ₹3,00,000/-
(i) Cost of new machine = ₹ 300000
Scrap value of old machine = ₹ 30000
Hence, the money required for new machine after 7 years
= ₹ 300000 - ₹ 30000 = ₹ 270000

(ii) A = ₹ 270000, i = 100

Expand by R1
⇒ D = 2(1 - 4) - 3 (1 - 6) + 4 (2 - 3)

⇒ D = 5

Again, Solve D1 formed by replacing 1st column by B matrices

Explanation: The given matrices are A = [ ] and B = ⎢ 4 5⎥
1 4 2 ⎣ ⎦
2 1

Order of A = 2 × 3; Order of B = 3 × 2
Since, number of columns in A is equal to the number of rows in B.
⇒ AB is defined.
Also, number of columns in B is equal to the number of rows in A.
∴ The product BA is also defined.

20.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: We have,
f(x) = 2x3 - 6x2 + 6x + 5
⇒ f'(x) = 6x2 - 12x + 6 = 6(x - 1)2
and f"(x) = 12(x - 1)
Now, f'(x) = 0 gives x = 1.
Also, f"(1) = 0.
Therefore, the second derivative test fails in this case.
So, we shall go back to the first derivative test.
Using first derivatives test, we get x = 1 is neither a point of local maxima nor a point of local minima and so it is a point of
inflexion.

25. We know that if a ≡ b (mod m) and 0 ≤ b ≤ m, then b is the remainder when a is divided by m. Therefore, to find the remainder
when 2100 is divided by 11, its is sufficient to find an integer b such that 2100 ≡ b (mod 11), where 0 ≤ b ≤ 11
Now,
21 ≡ 2 (mod 11)
⇒ 22 ≡ 2 × 2 = 4 (mod 11)
⇒ 23 ≡ 2 × 4 = 8 (mod 11)
⇒ 24 ≡ 2 × 8 ≡ 5 (mod 11) [∵ 24 ≡ 16 (mod 11) and 16 ≡ 5 (mod 11) ∴ 24 ≡ 5 (mod 11)]
⇒ 25 ≡ 2 × 5 ≡ 10 (mod 11)
⇒ 25 ≡ -1 (mod 11) [∵ 10 ≡ -1 (mod 11)]
⇒ (25)20 ≡ (-1)20 (mod 11)
⇒ 2100 ≡ 1 (mod 11)
Hence, 1 is the remainder when 2100 is divided by 11.

So, p-value of -1.54 = 2 × Area under the t-distribution curve to the left of t

From the t-distribution table, we find that t = 1.54 lies between 1.300 and 1.678 for which area lies between 0.05 and 0.10, so,
p-values lies between 2 × 0.05 and 2 × 0.10 i.e. between 0.10 and 0.20.
So, 0.10 < p-value < 0.20

The nominal rate of return is the amount of money generated by an investment before factoring in expenses such as taxes,
investment fees, and inflation. If an investment generated a 10% return, the nominal rate would equal 10%. After factoring in
inflation during the investment period, the actual return would likely be lower.
However, the nominal rate of return has its merits since it allows investors to compare the performance of an investment
irrespective of the different tax rates that might be applied for each investment.

Loans are an integral part of our lives today. We take loans for a specific purpose - for buying a home, or a car,
or sending kids abroad for education - loans help us achieve some significant life goals. That said, when we talk
about loans, the word “EMI", eventually crops up because the amount we borrow has to be returned to the lender
with interest.
Suppose a person borrows ₹1 lakh for one year at the fixed rate of 9.5 percent per annum with a monthly rest. In
this case, the EMI for the borrower for 12 months works out to approximately ₹8,768.

(c) A is true but R is false.
k; i = j
Explanation: A scalar matrix A = [a ij ] = { is an identity matrix when k = 1.
0; i ≠ j

But every identity matrix is clearly a scalar matrix.

20.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

∴ 12x ≡ 44 (mod 59)
⇒ 3x ≡ 11 (mod 59) [∵ (4, 59) = 1]
We find that (3, 59) = 1, hence it has unique solution (mod 59). Using division algorithm, we obtain
59 = 19 × 3 + 2
3=2×1+1
Using back substitution, we obtain
1=3-2×1
⇒ 1 = 3 - (59 - 19 × 3) × 1

⇒ 1 = 59 × (-1) + 20 × 3

The coefficient of 3 i.e. 20 is the inverse of 3 (mod 59)

Now,
3x ≡ 11 (mod 59)
⇒ 20 × 3x ≡ 20 × 11 (mod 59) [Multiplying throughout by inverse of 3 i.e. 20]
⇒ (20 × 3)x ≡ 220 (mod 59)

⇒ x ≡ 43 (mod 59)

Hence x ≡ 43 (mod 59) is the solution of the given linear congruence.

According to given,
P(1 - i) - P(1 - i)2 = 720 and P(1 - i)2 - P(1 - i)3 = 648

37. Read the text carefully and answer the questions:
Loans are an integral part of our lives today. We take loans for a specific purpose - for buying a home, or a car, or sending kids
abroad for education - loans help us achieve some significant life goals. That said, when we talk about loans, the word “EMI",
eventually crops up because the amount we borrow has to be returned to the lender with interest.
Suppose a person borrows ₹1 lakh for one year at the fixed rate of 9.5 percent per annum with a monthly rest. In this case, the
EMI for the borrower for 12 months works out to approximately ₹8,768.
Example:
In year 2000, Mr. Tanwar took a home loan of ₹3000000 from State Bank of India at 7.5% p.a. compounded monthly for 20 years.
(i) ₹ 24167.82
(ii) ₹ 10458.69
(iii)₹ 13709.13
OR
₹ 410293.41
38. i. O(0, 0), A(6, 12), so equation of OA is
12−0
y-0= 6−0
(x - 0) ⇒ y - 2x = 0.
ii. Since BC is parallel to OA, so slope of BC = slope of OA.
∴ Equation of BC is Y - 4 = 2(x - 0) ⇒ y - 2x = 4.

iii. Constraints for the L.P.P. are

y ≥ 2x, y - 2x ≤ 4, x ≤ 6, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0
OR
The corner points of the feasible region are (0, 0), (6, 12), (6, 16) and (0, 4). The values of Z = 3x - 4y at these corner points
are 0, -30, - 46 and -16. Hence, the minimum value of Z = - 46.
OR
i. From the given figure, OA = 25 and OD = 50
y
The equation of the line AD is x

i.e. 2x + y = 50
y
ii. The equation of the line BC is x

20
= 1 i.e. x + 2y = 40
iii. Solving equations 2x + y = 50 and x + 2y = 40 simultaneously, we get x = 20, y - 10
∴ The coordinates of point B are (20, 10).

From the given figure, the coordinates of point C are (0, 20).
OR
As (0, 0) lies in the region 2x + y ≤ 50 and (0,0) also lies in the region x + 2y ≤ 40, therefore, the constraints for the L.P.P.
are 2x + y ≤ 50, x + 2y ≤ 40, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0
