SECTION E
(Question numbers 36 to 38 carry 4 marks each.)
This section contains three Case-study / Passage based questions.
First two questions have three sub-parts (i), (ii) and (iii) of marks 1, 1 and 2
respectively.
Third question has two sub-parts of 2 marks each.
36. CASE STUDY I : Read the following passage and the answer the questions given below.

Manjit wants to donate a rectangular plot of land for a school in his village.
When he was asked to give dimensions of the plot, he told that :
 If its length is decreased by 50 m and breadth is increased by 50 m, then its area
will remain same,
 If length is decreased by 10 m and breadth is decreased by 20 m, then its area will
decrease by 5300 m2.
(i) Assume that the length and breadth of the land be x and y (in metres) respectively. Find the
equations in terms of x and y.
(ii) Using matrices, represent the linear equations obtained above in (i).
(iii) Using matrices, determine the dimensions of the land (in metres). Also write the area of the
rectangular plot of land (in square metres).
OR
(iii) Suppose that, Manjit gave the information about his plot in the following manner :
If its length is decreased by 50 m and breadth is increased by 50 m, then its area will remain the
same, but if length is decreased by 20 m and breadth is decreased by 10 m, then its area will be
decreased by 4800 m2. In this situation, what will be dimensions of the plot? Assume that the
length and breadth of the land be x and y (in metres) respectively. Use matrices.
37. CASE STUDY II : Read the following passage and answer the questions given below.
