The nominal rate of return is the amount of money generated by an investment before factoring in expenses such
as taxes, investment fees, and inflation. If an investment generated a 10% return, the nominal rate would equal
10%. After factoring in inflation during the investment period, the actual return would likely be lower.
However, the nominal rate of return has its merits since it allows investors to compare the performance of an
investment irrespective of the different tax rates that might be applied for each investment.

⎡ ⎤

Explanation: The given matrices are A = [ ] and B = ⎢ 4 5⎥
1 4 2 ⎣ ⎦
2 1

Order of A = 2 × 3; Order of B = 3 × 2
Since, number of columns in A is equal to the number of rows in B.
⇒ AB is defined.
Also, number of columns in B is equal to the number of rows in A.
∴ The product BA is also defined.

20.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: We have,
f(x) = 2x3 - 6x2 + 6x + 5
⇒ f'(x) = 6x2 - 12x + 6 = 6(x - 1)2
and f"(x) = 12(x - 1)
Now, f'(x) = 0 gives x = 1.
Also, f"(1) = 0.
Therefore, the second derivative test fails in this case.
So, we shall go back to the first derivative test.
Using first derivatives test, we get x = 1 is neither a point of local maxima nor a point of local minima and so it is a point of
inflexion.

Interest for 1 year = ₹(4320 - 4000) = ₹ 320
Let rate of interest be r%

25. We know that if a ≡ b (mod m) and 0 ≤ b ≤ m, then b is the remainder when a is divided by m. Therefore, to find the remainder
when 2100 is divided by 11, its is sufficient to find an integer b such that 2100 ≡ b (mod 11), where 0 ≤ b ≤ 11
Now,
21 ≡ 2 (mod 11)
⇒ 22 ≡ 2 × 2 = 4 (mod 11)
⇒ 23 ≡ 2 × 4 = 8 (mod 11)
⇒ 24 ≡ 2 × 8 ≡ 5 (mod 11) [∵ 24 ≡ 16 (mod 11) and 16 ≡ 5 (mod 11) ∴ 24 ≡ 5 (mod 11)]
⇒ 25 ≡ 2 × 5 ≡ 10 (mod 11)
⇒ 25 ≡ -1 (mod 11) [∵ 10 ≡ -1 (mod 11)]

So, p-value of -1.54 = 2 × Area under the t-distribution curve to the left of t
= 2 × Area under the t-distribution curve to the right of t
From the t-distribution table, we find that t = 1.54 lies between 1.300 and 1.678 for which area lies between 0.05 and 0.10, so,
p-values lies between 2 × 0.05 and 2 × 0.10 i.e. between 0.10 and 0.20.
So, 0.10 < p-value < 0.20

investment fees, and inflation. If an investment generated a 10% return, the nominal rate would equal 10%. After factoring in
inflation during the investment period, the actual return would likely be lower.
However, the nominal rate of return has its merits since it allows investors to compare the performance of an investment
irrespective of the different tax rates that might be applied for each investment.
