Question 21: Find the symbolic form of the given switching circuit. Construct its
switching table and interpret your result. Diagram [4]
Solution: Let p,q denote the statements that the switches S1, S2 are closed
respectively. Let ~p ,~ q denote the statements that switches ' S 1 and ' S2 are closed
respectively. .
The symbolic form of the given switching circuit is (p ∨ q) ∧(~p ∧~q) ≡ l
The switching table for the given switching circuit is as follows:
B
A
p q ~p ~q ~p ∧ ~q A∧B
p ∨q
1 1 0 0 1 0 0
1 0 0 1 1 0 0
0 1 1 0 1 0 0
0 0 1 1 0 1 0
In the last column of the switching table, each entry is zero, i.e. it is a contradiction.
Hence, no current will flow in the circuit irrespective of the positions of the switches.
Question 22: If three numbers are added, their sum is 2. If two times the second
number is subtracted from the sum of first and third numbers we get 8 and if three times
the first number is added to the sum of second and third numbers we get 4. Find the
numbers using matrices. [4]

Solution: In, Δ ABC with usual notations prove that

b2 = c2 +a2 - 2 ca cos B

Solution: Consider that for Δ ABC, ∠B is in a standard position i.e. vertex B is at the
origin and the side BC is along positive x-axis. As ∠B is an angle of a triangle ∴ ∠B can
be acute or ∠B can be obtuse.

Using the Cartesian co-ordinate system in above figure.

we get B ≡(0,0) A ≡(c cos B , c sin B) and C ≡ (a,0)

Now consider l(CA) = b

∴ b2 = (a- c cos B)2 + (0-c sin B)2 , by distance formula

∴ b2 = a2 - 2 ac cos B + c2 cos2 B +c2 sin2 B

∴ b2 =a2 -2 ac cos B +c2 (sin2B + cos2B)

∴ b2 = a2 +c2 - 2 ac cos B

Hence proved.
OR
Question 23.A: [4]

Solution:

Question 24: Find 'p' and 'q' if the equation px2 - 8xy +3y2 +14 x +2y +q = 0 represents
a pair of perpendicular lines. [4]

Solution: Given general equation is px2 - 8xy +3y2 +14 x +2y +q = 0

a = p, h = -4, b = 3 , g = 7, f = 1 , c = q
Since the equation represents perpendicular lines
a +b =0
p+3=0
∴ p = -3
∴ a = p = -3
Since the equation represents a pair of lines.

∴ -3(3q-1)+4(-4q-7)+7(-4-21)=0
∴ -9q +3 -16q - 28 - 28 - 147 = 0
∴ -25q + 3 - 28 - 175 = 0
∴ -25q + 3 - 203 = 0
∴ -25q - 200 = 0
∴ -25q = 200

Question 25: [4]

Solution:

In equation Point on x-axis Point on y-axis Feasible Region

x +4y ≤ 24 (24,0) (0,6) Origin side
3x +y ≤ 21 (7,0) (0,21) Origin side
x + y ≤9 (9,0) (0,9) Origin side
From the figure common feasible region is ABCDEA
E is the point of intersection of x + y = 9 and x + 4y =24
Solving them we get E(4,5)
D is the point of intersection of x + y = 9 and 3x +y = 21
Solving them we get D(6,3)
End Point Value of z = 3x +5y
A(0,6) 0 +30= 30
B(0,0) 0+0=0
C(7,0) 21 + 0 = 21
D(6,3) 18 +1 5 = 33
E(4,5) 12 +25 = 37
∴ z is maximum 37 at the point (4, 5)
Question 26: If X = f(t) and Y = g(t) Are Differentiable Functions of t , then prove that y
is a differentiable function of x and [4]

Solution: x = a cos2 t and y = a sin2 t

Differentiating x and y with respect to t, we get
Question 27: f(x) = (x-1)(x-2)(x-3) , x ε[0,4], find if 'c' LMVT can be applied [4]
Solution: f(x) = (x-1)(x-2)(x-3) , x ∈[0,4],
∴ f(x) = x3 -6x2 + 11x -6
As f(x) is a polynomial in x
(1) f(x) is continuous on [0, 4]
(2) f(x) is differentiable on (0, 4)
Thus, all the conditions of LMVT are satisfied.
To verify LMVT we have to find c ∈ (0,4) such that
3 = 3c2 -12c +11
3c2 -12c +8 =0

OR
Question 27.A: A rod of 108 meters long is bent to form a rectangle. Find its
dimensions if the area is maximum. Let x be the length and y be the breadth of the
rectangle. [4]

Solution: ∴ 2x + 2y = 108

∴ y = 54 - x

Now, area of rectangle = xy =x (54 - x)

∴ f(x) = 54x -x2

f ' (x) = 54 -2x

f '' (x) = -2

For extreme values f '(x) = 0

∴ 54 - 2x = 0

∴ x = 27

f '' (27) = -2 < 0 ∴ Area is maximum when x =27 , y = 27

∴ The dimensions of rectangle are 27m × 27m

It is a square.
