Preface
We convey our sincere gratitude to our respected Chief Educational Officer, who has
given this opportunity to bring out an unique material for the students (XII standard
Business Mathematics and Statistics ) in the name of Learning Material.
The learning material is prepared based on the selected chapters. This includes
classification for selected chapters,solved textbook exercise problems
(2 marks, 3 marks and 5 marks).
Students can prepare the example problems based on the classification. All the text
book MCQ problems have to be practiced regularly. Students must practice all the problems
in the classification. This material mainly focus on the slow learners to achieve their goals.
Good effort always lead to success

All the best!!!

X 100 = 43.75%

From the question,
(T → T) = 70% = 0.7 ; (T → M) = 30% = 0.3 The equilibrium is reached when the market share of soap A is

T = 0.54 = 54% & M = 0.46 = 46% (A → �) = ��% = �. �; (� → �) = ��% = �. �
So after one year, 54% of commuters will use the transit (B → A) = ��% = �. �; (B→ B) = ��% = �. �

Equating the corresponding elements, Current market share : ( A B) = ( 0.5 0.5 )
0.7 T + 0.3M = T ⇒ 0.3 M = T - 0.7 T = 0.3 T fter one week: The shares of A and B are given by

Solution: Equating the corresponding elements,
A and B are the two types of soaps. The current market
shares are 15% and 85%. 0.6 A + 0.2 B=A ⇒ 0.2 B = A - 0.6 A = 0.4 A

Solution:
f(x) = x2 + 3x
Δf(x) = f(x + h) − f(x)
= (x + h)2 + 3(x + h) − x2 − 3x
= x2 + 2xh + h2 + 3x + 3 h − x2 − 3x = 2xh + 3 h + h2
Put h = 1, Δf(x) = 2x + 4

Question 5. Define the secular trend. Solution:
Answer:
It is a general tendency, of time series to increase or
decrease or stagnates during a long period of time. An
upward tendency is usually observed in the population of a
country, production, sales, prices in industries, the income
of individuals etc., A downward tendency is observed in
deaths, epidemics, prices of electronic gadgets, water
sources, mortality rate etc…. _____________________________________________________________________________
Question 7. Explain cyclic variations.

Answer:
Cyclic Variations: These variations are not necessarily
uniformly periodic in nature. That is, they may or may not
follow exactly similar patterns after equal intervals of time.
Generally, one cyclic period ranges from 7 to 9 years and
there is no hard and fast rule in the fixation of years for a
cyclic period. For example, every business cycle has a Start-
Boom-Depression- Recover, maintenance during booms and
depressions, changes in government monetary policies,
changes in interest rates.

When x = 1999, Yt = 169.429 + 3.286(1999 − 1998)
= 169.429 + 3.286(1) = 169.429 + 3.286 = 172: 72
When x = 2000, Yt = 169.429 + 3.286(2000 − 1998)
= 169.429 + 3.286(2) = 169.429 + 6.572 = 176.00
When x = 2001, Yt = 169.429 + 3.286(2001 − 1998)

We now draw the R chart for the given data.
The above diagram shows all the three control lines with the

Solution: Number of rows = Number of columns F 6 8 7 3
Solution:
Step 1:
Here the number of trucks is 4 and vacant spaces are 6 . So the
given assignment problem is the unbalanced problem. So we
introduce two dummy columns with all the entries zero to make is
