Set-A (Marking Scheme)
1. (c) 2. (c) 3. (b) explanation:
Let the number of girls be x and number of boys is 1000 – x.
70100 (1000 – x)+ 80100 × x = 76100 × 1000
70(1000 – x) + 80x = 76 × 100
70 × 1000 – 70x + 80x = 76 × 1000
10x = 1000 (76 – 70)
10x = 6000
x = 600
Hence the number of girls = 600. 4. (b) 5. (c)
6. A : B = 160 : 150, A : C =160 : 130 B/C = (B/A) x (A/C) = (150/160) x (160/130) = 15/13 = 60 : 52 ∴ In a
game of 60, B can give C = (60 - 52)= 8 points
7.(b) 8 (c) 9 (a) 10 (a) 11 (a) Here, np = 4 and npq = 2 So, q = 12 and hence p = 12 and n = 8
So, P(X = 2) = 8C2 (12)2 (12)6 = 28(12)8= 28256
12. (a)
13. Explanation: Here, Z = X−305 Thus, for X = 32, Z = 32−305 = 0.4 So, (d) is the correct option
14. (b) 33 n = 34⇒ v = 34 – 1 = 33
15. (d) 136000 Let the face value of the bond = x Then, 10200 × =1800 ⇒ x = 36000
16. (d) If a LPP admits two optimal solutions, then it has infinite optimal solutions.
17. (b) Sampling distribution Explanation: When a collected sample from populates is represented in the form
of a frequency distribution, it is called sampling distribution.
18. (d) sample
19. (a) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).P(Win in one game)
= P(Lose in one game) = 1/2⇒ P (Beena to win in 3 out of 4 games) = 4C3(12)4 = 14 = 25%
Assertion is correct and Reason is the correct explanation for it.
20. (d) (A)is false but (R) is true. Explanation: Given: y = log x,dy/dx = 1xd2y/dx2 = −1x2 and d3y/dx3 = 2x3
21. Let the speed of the stream be y km/h. Let the distance be ‘d’ km. Then ,d/(6 – y) = 2x d/(6 + y)y = 2
So, the speed of the stream is 2 km/h
22.
 OR

23. Here.
H0: µ = 15, s = 5.5, n = 30 and X¯¯¯¯ = 17
To test H0, the statistic t is
t = X¯−μs/n−1√=17−155.5/29√ = 1.96
The table value of t at α = 1105 and 29 d.f. is 2.05.
Conclusion: Since |t| < t α, the null hypothes is accepted.
OR
Here, we have i = 008 and P☐ = 60,000
Using the formula P☐ = (R + Ri ) we need to determine the vaLue of R.
Using the given values in 60.000
= ₹ (R + R0.008)
we have
R = 60,000 × 8108 = 4444.44
Thus, the prize amount is ₹ 4444.44.
24. Answer:
Purchase = ₹ 40,00,000
Down payment = x
Balance = 40,00,000 – x
i = 91200 = 0.0075
n = 25 × 12 = 300
E = ₹ 30,000
⇒ 30000 = (4000000−x)×0.00751−(1.0075)−300
25. Here,
H0 : µ = 12, s = 0.15, n = 10 and X¯ = 11.8
To test H0, the statistic t is
t = X¯−μs/n−1√=11.8−120.15/9√ = -4
The table value of t at α = 0.05 and 9 d.f. is 2.26
Conclusion: Since |t| > tα, the null hypothesis is rejected and we conclude that the sample mean differs
significantly from the intended mean of 12 kg OR
Option 1: 6%, ₹ 100 share at ₹ 120
Here, income of an investment of ₹ 120 = ₹ 6
So, income on an investment of ₹120
= ₹ {6120 × 100} = ₹ 5
Option 2 :4% , ₹10 share at ₹ 8
Here, income of an investment of ₹ 8 = ₹ 0.4
So, income on an investment of ₹ 100
= ₹ {0.48 × 100} = ₹ 5
Hence, both the investments yield the same return.
26. Let the speed of the boat in still water be x km/h; and the speed of the stream be y km/h. Then,
45/(x + y) + 45/(x – y)
= 20 and 12/(x + y)
= 4/(x – y)
Solving these equations, we get
x = 6 and y = 3
So, the speed of the boat in still water be 6 km/h; and the speed of the stream be 3 km/h.

28. Here, the graph of the given constraints and the feasible region, so obtained, is shaded in the graph given
below:
Corner point Corresponding value of Z
O (0, 0) 5(0) + 7(0) = 0
A (3, 5, 0) 5(3.5) + 7(0) = 17.5
B (73, 53) 5(73) + 7(53) = 703 = 2313
C(85, 122 5(85)+7(125)=1245=2445
D(0, 3) 5(0) + 7(3) = 21

Thus, maximum value of Z is 2445 which occurs at C(85, 125) OR

Here, the graph of the given constraints and the feasible region, so obtained, is shaded in the graph given below:
Corner point Corresponding value of Z
A (3,52 ) 3 – 5(52) + 20 = 212
B (6, 4) 6 – 5 (4) + 20 = 6
C (4, 4) 4 – 5 (4) + 20 = 4
D (3, 3) 3 – 5 (3) + 20 = 8

Thus, minimum value of Z is 4 which occurs at C(4, 4).

29. Under pure competition, pd = ps OR p = 274 – x2

⇒ 8x+1 – 2 = x+32 ⇒ R = px = 274x – x3
⇒ x2 + 8x – 9 = 0 dRdx = 274 – 3x2.
⇒ x = -9, 1 Given MR = 4 + 3x
⇒x=1 In profit monopolist market,
When x0 = 1 ⇒ p0 = 2 MR = dRdx
∴ Produce surplus = 2 – ∫10x+32dx ⇒ 4 + 3x = 274 – 3x2
= 2[x24+3x2]10 = 14 ⇒ x2 + x – 90 = 0
⇒ x = -10, 9
∴x=9
When x0 = 9 ⇒ p0 = 193
∴ Consumer surplus
= ∫90(274 – 0) – 193 × 9
= [274x−x30]90
= 486

30. Let p denote the probability of drawing a white ball from an urn containing 5 white, 7 red and
8 black balls, Then, p = 55+7+8 = 0.25
Therefore, q = 1 – p = 1 – 0.25 = 0.75
Let X denote the number of white balls in 4 draws with replacement. Then, X is a binomial variate with
parameters n = 4 and p = 0.25
such that P(X = r) = 4Cr (0.25)r(0.75)4-r; r = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4
Now, Probability that all are white balls = P(X) = 4C4 (0.25)4(0.75)0
= 0.254, or 1256
Probability that only 3 are white balls = P(X = 4C3(0.25)3(0.75)1 = 4(0.25)3 (0.75)1, or 364
Probability that none is white balls = P(X = 0) = 4C0 (0.25)0(0.75)4 = ( 0.75)4, or 81256
Probability that at least 3 are white balls = P(X ≥ 3)
= P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)
= 364 + 1256 { From (i) and (ii)}
= 13256 OR According to the problem,
Z = X−65.512
(A) P(46 < X < 68)
= P(-1.63 < Z < 0.21)
= P(0 < Z < 1.63) +P(0 < Z < 0.21) = 0.4484 + 0. 0832 = 0.53 16 Thus, the number of students
having weight between 46 and 68 kg is 700 × 0.5316 = 372 (B) P(X > 68) = P(Z > 0.21)
= 0.5 – P(0 < Z < 0.21)
= 0.5 – 0. 0832
= 0.4168
Thus, the number of students having weight more than 68 kg is 700 × 0.4 168 = 292

34. Answer:
Let x be the number of guests for the booking
Clearly, x >100 to avail discount
Profit, P = [4800 – 20010(x – 100)]x = 6800
x – 20x2
⇒ dPdx = 6800 – 40x ⇒ x = 170
As d2P/dx2 = -40 < 0, ∀ x
∴ Manufacturing loo dolls will maximise the profit of the company and, profit = ₹ 1,50,000.
35. Let the number of tables and chairs be x and y respectively
(Max profit) Z = 22x+ 18y
Subject to constraints:
x + y ≤ 20
3x + 2y ≤ 48
x, y ≥ 0

The feasible region OABCA is closed (bounded)

Corner points Z = 22x + 18y
O(0, 0) 0
A(0, 20) 360
B(8, 12) 392
B(8, 12) 352

Buying 8 tables and 12 chairs will, maximize the profit

 OR

Let x units and y units of the commodity be transported from the factory at P to the depots at A and B
respectively. Then, (8 – x – y) units will be transported to the depot at C.

Hence, we have x, y ≥ 0 and 8 – x – y ≥ 0

i. e., x + y ≤ 8 and x, y ≥ 0
Now, the weekly requirement of the depot at A is 5 units of the commodity. So, (5 – x) units need to be
transported to the depot A from the factory at Q. Obviously, 5 – x > 0.
Similarly, (5 – y) units and {6 -(5 – x + 5 – y)}
= (x + y – 4 ) units are to be transported from the factory at Q to the depots at B and C respectively. Thus,
5 – y ≥ 0, x + y – 4 ≥ 0
or y < 5, x + y > 4
Let Z be the total transportation cost. Then,
Z = 160x + 100y + 150(8 – x – y) + 100(5 – x) + 120 (5 – y) + 100 (x + y – 4)
= 10(x – 7y + 190)
Thus, the required LPP is
Minimize Z = 10(x -7y + 190)
subject to constraints
x + y ≤ 8, x + y ≥ 4, x ≤ 5, y ≤ 5, x, y ≥ 0
Let us draw the graph for the system of inequalities representing constraints.

The feasible region is ABCDEF shown (shaded) in Fig. 6, which is bounded.

The coordinates of the corner points of the feasible region ABCDEF are A(0, 4), B(0, 5),C (3, 5), D (5, 3),
E (5, 0) and F (4, 0)
Let us evaluate the objective function Z =10(x -7y + 190) at the corner points.
Corner point Corresponding value of Z
A(0, 4) 1620
B (0, 5) 1550 (minimum)
C(3, 5) 1580
D (5, 3) 1740
E (5, 0) 1950
F (4, 0) 1940
Z is minimum at B(0, 5) and minimum cost is ₹ 1500 So, the minimum transportation cost is ₹ 1500 when 0,5
and 3 units are transported from factory at P and 5, 0 and 1 units are transported from factory at Q to the depots
A, B and C respectively.
36. (A) If a gives B, a start of 40m, it means that in the same time A runs 1000 metres while B runs (1000 – 40)
m = 960 cm
∴B runs 1000 m in y seconds
∵ B runs 960 m in (y1000 × 960) sec
= 2425 sec.
(B) A had given a start of 30 seconds to B, then A had run for (y – 30) seconds.
(C) From Q(A) B wins by 19 sec
∴2425 y – x = 19
25x – 24 y = – 475 ………… (i)
In second condition, B wins by 40 m
∴ 1000 – 1000x (y – 30) = 40
⇒ 1000x (y – 30) = 960
⇒ 25x (y – 30) = 24
24x – 25y = – 750 ………………… (ii)
On solving (i) & (ii), we get
x = 125 seconds
So, A complete, race in 125 sec. OR

B beats A by (25 – 22.5) m = 2.5 m in running 25 m Thus, in running 25 m, B beats A by 2.5 m .

∴ In running y km i.e, 1000 m B beats A by (2.525 × 1000) m = 100 m.
37. (A) Area of trapezium
= 12 (sum of parallel sides) × distance between parallel sides
= 12 × (16 + 22) × 20 = 380 m2
(B) PQ2 = 62 + 202
= 36 + 400
= 436
PQ = 436−−−√ = 20.8 cm
(C) We have s = RP2 + RQ2
Since, RP2 = 162 + x2
= 256 + x2
and RQ2 = 222 + (20 – x)2
= 484 + 400 + x2 – 40x
∴ s = 2x2 – 40x + 1140
ds/dx = 4x – 40
Foul minimum value,
put ds/dx = 0
4x – 40 = 0
⇒ x = 10
d2 xdx2 = 4> 0
∴ Minimum value of s
= 2(4)2 – 40 (4) + 1140
= 32 – 160 + 1140
= 1172 – 160
= 1012 OR We have f(x) = log (x + 3)
there, f(x) is defined for x > – 3
on differentiating w.r.t x,
we get f(x) = 1x+3 and x > -3
For f(x) to be decreasing function f(x) < 0 and x > – 3.
1x+3 < 0 and x > – 3 ⇒ x < – 5 and x > – 3
Hence, for no value of x, f(x) is decreasing.

38. (A) Amount of money is needed to buy the new machine at the end of 15 years
₹ 2,30,000 – ₹ 10, 000 = ₹ 2, 20,000

(B) Amount of money that is contributed to the sinking fund at the end of every year = ₹ 10,000.

(C) Here, amount (A) accumulated in the sinking fund over 15 years is given by
A = P[(1+i)n−1i]
where P = ₹ 10,000; i = 0.06 and n = 15 years
So, A = 10,000 [(1+0.06)15−10.06]
= ₹ 2, 32,759
Thus, amount of interest in the sinking fund = ₹ 2, 32, 759 – (₹ 10,000 × 15) = ₹ 82, 759

OR Cost of new machine after discount

= ₹ 2,30,000 – 5 % of ₹ 2,30,000
= ₹ 2,18,5000
New cost of new machine after adding VAT
= ₹ 2,18,500 + 18% of ₹ 2,18,500
= ₹ 2,57,8300.
