vertical sides 4
\O that it contains 500 cubic meters of water.

Using above information answer the following:

(i) Find the minimum surface area of the tank.

37. Senior students tend to stay up all night and therefore are not able to wake up
on time in
morning. Not only has this but their dependence on tuitions further led to absente
eism in school.
Of the students in class XII, it is known that 30% of the students have l 00%
attendance. Previous
year results report that 80% of all students who have 100% attendance attain
A grade and l 0%
irregular students attain A grade in their annual examination. At the end of the
year, one student
is chosen at random from the class XII.

Using above information answer the following:

(i) Find the conditional probability that a student attains A grade given that he 1
is not
I 00 % regular student.
(ii) Find the probability of attaining A grade by the students of class XIl. 1

These are the regions on Earth that have the same standard time.
For example, USA and India fall in different time zones, but Sri r.anka and Indio are in the same
time zone.
A relation R is defined on the set U = {All people on the Earth} such that R = {(x, Y)I the time
difference between the time zones x and y reside in is 6 hours}.
