A man is running a racecourse observes that the sum of distances from two fixed flag posts
from him is 10 metres and the distance between the flag posts is 8 metres. A line 3 x+ 5 y=15
is drawn to intersect the race course at two distinct points.

37. Case Study 2

An owner of E – rickshaw rental company have determined that if they charge customers
Rs x per day to rent on E – rickshaw where 100 ≤ x ≤ 300, then number of E – rickshaw
(n), they rent per day can be shown by linear function n ( x )=4000−10 x . If they charges
Rs100 per day or less, they will rent all their E –rickshaw. If they charge ` 300 or more
per day, they will not rent any E – rickshaw.
Based on the above information, answer the following questions:

(b) Find the maximum revenue collected.

38. Case Study Question 3

During lock down in 2019 some family members of a society decided to entertain members
of their family to make the stress of pandemic light. For this they decide to play the game of
playing cards. They realise that a card from the pack of cards is missing. From the remaining
cards, two cards are drawn at random and found to be both spades. The leader of the group
gets curios and starts thinking of possibilities as under.

Based on this information answer the following questions:

(i) Find the probability of getting 2 spades.
(ii) Find the probability of the missing card being a spade, given that 2 spades are drawn
from the remaining card.
