Q10. Given plane is 3x  2y  z  9 . The d.r.’s of its normal are 3, –2, –1.
Also let P(2, –1, 3) and, M be the foot of perpendicular of P on the plane.
x  2 y 1 z  3
Since MP is perpendicular to the plane os, its equation is :   
3 2 1
Coordinates of any random point on this line is : M(3  2, 2  1,   3)
As M lies on plane, so this point shall satisfy the equation of plane for some vale of  i.e.,

Q13. Let Reshma mixes x kg of food P and y kg of food Q.
To minimize: Z = ` (60x + 80y)
Subject to constraints: 3x  4y  8, 5x  2y  11; x, y  0
Min.Z = `160 at (8/3, 0) and (2,1/2)
NOTE: In this problem, the feasible region will be unbounded; therefore 160 may or may not be the
minimum value of Z. In order to check, we plot the graph of inequality 60x  80y  160 i.e.,
3x  4y  8 . We would check if the resulting half plane has (any) points in common with the
feasible region or not. It can be seen easily that the feasible region has no common point with
3x  4y  8 therefore, the minimum value of Z is 160.
Q14. Let A : the construction job will be completed on time, and B : there will be a strike.
We have to find P(A).
Now we’ve P(B) = 0.65, P(B)  1 − P(B) = 1 − 0.65 = 0.35, P(A|B) = 0.32, P(A| B ) = 0.80
Since events B and B form a partition of the sample space S, therefore, by theorem on total
probability, we have P(A) = P(B) P(A|B) + P( B ) P(A| B ) = 0.65 × 0.32 + 0.35 × 0.8
= 0.208 + 0.28 = 0.488
Thus, the probability that the construction job will be completed in time is 0.488.
