CASE STUDY
36. Indian Army is the third biggest military contingent in the World next to USA and
China. However, there are many firsts that make Indian army stand out in the world,
making us all Indians very proud. Knowing them, will help you celebrate Republic
day with greater vigour and gratitude. On 71th republic day Parade in Delhi the
Captain was planning for parade of following two groups:
(a) First group of Army contingent of 624 members behind an army band of 32
members.
(b) Second group of CRPF troops with 468 soldiers behind the 228 members of

march?
(iii) A) What is the maximum number of columns in which total army troop and
CRPF troops can march along with army band and bikers? (2tn)
(OR)
B) What number should be subtracted from the numbers of CRPF soldiers and
the number of bikers so that their maximum number of columns is equal to
the maximum number of columns of army troop and army band? (2m)
37. Rahul and Ravi planned to play Business (board game) in which they were supposed to
use two dice.

age o
 i) Ravi got first chance to roll the dice. What is the probability that he got the sum of the
two numbers appearing on the top face of the dice is 8?

numbers appearing on the top face of the dice is 13? (1m)
iii) A) Now it was Ravi's turn. He rolled the dice. What is the probability that he got the
sum of the two numbers appearing on the top face of the dice is less than or equal to
12? And what is this event called?
(OR)
B) Now it was Rahul's turn. He rolled the dice. What is the probability of getting a
i) doublet on the top face of the dice and ii) prime number on both dice? (2 m)
38. Mr. Shivram arranged a dinner party for some of his friends. The expenses of the dinner
party are categorised as partly constant and partly proportional to the number of guests.
That is a constant amount has to be paid for venue/hall and the dinner amount per person
is calculated. The total expenses amount to 450 for five guests including the constant
amount for venue and he has to spent a total amount, 850 for 10 guests including the
venue.

Denote the constant expense by x and proportional expense per person by y, and
answer the following questions

(i) Represent both the situations algebraically.

(ii) The system of linear equations representing both the situations will have what type
of solution? (1m)
(iii) A) What will be the proportional expense for each person? (2m)
