5x – 3x > 1 + 3
2x > 4 ⇒ x > 2

Question 20.
A certain sum of money amounts to Rs.24,200 in 2 years
Answer:
Given F = 24,200, n = 2yrs r = 10%, P = ?
F = P(i + r)n
P = \(\frac{\mathrm{F}}{(1+r)^{n}}=\frac{24,200}{(1+0.1)^{2}}=\frac{24,200}{(1.1)^{2}}\) = ₹20,000
∴ The Sum = ₹20,000

Question 21.

Answer:
Given = (1, 2) and θ = 60°
m = tan θ = tan 60° = \(\sqrt{3}\)
Required equation is y – y1 = m(x – x1)
y – 2 = \(\sqrt{3}\)(x – 1)
y – 2 = \(\sqrt{3}\)x – \(\sqrt{3}\)

PART-C

II. Answer any TEN questions: (10 × 3 = 30)

Question 26.
Find the greatest number which divides 98, 120, and 153 leaving the same remainder.
Answer:
We have to find the H.C.F of 120 – 98, 153 – 120, 153-98
Required is H.C.F of 22, 33, 55
∴ H.C.F is 11
Hence the greatest number is 11.

Question 27.
Show that the relation “Congruent to” on the set of all triangles is an equivalence relation.
Answer:
Every triangle is congruent to itself
∴ the relation is reflexive
∆T1 is congruent to ∆T2 ⇒ ∆T2 is congruent to ∆T1 ⇒ R is symmetric
If triangle T, is congruent to T2, ∆T2 is congruent to ∆T3 then ∆T1 is congruent to ∆T3
∴ the relative is transitive Hence the relation “congruent to” is an equivalence relation.

Question 28.
If A = {1, 3, 5}, B = {5, 7}, C = {7} verify that A ∪ (B ∩ C) – (A ∪ B) ∩ (A ∪ C)
Answer:
A ∪ (B ∩ C) = {1, 3, 5} ∪ {7} = {1, 3, 5, 7}
(A ∩ B) ∩ (A ∪ C) = {1, 3, 5, 7} ∩ {1, 3, 5, 7} = {1, 3, 5, 7}

Question 29.
If px = qy = rz = sw and pq = rs then prove that \(\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}=\frac{1}{z}+\frac{1}{w}\)
Answer:
Let px = qy = rz = sw = k
⇒ p = k1/w, q = k1/y, r = k1/z, s = k1/w
Also given pq = rs
⇒ k1/xk1/y= k1/zk1/w
⇒ k1/x+1/y = k1/z+1/w
⇒ \(\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}=\frac{1}{z}+\frac{1}{w}\)

Question 30.

Question 31.
The sum of four numbers which are in A.P. is 28 and 10 times the least numbers is 4 times the greatest. Find the numbers.
Answer:
Let the 4 numbers are a – 3d, a-d, a+d, a+3d
Given sum = 28
1st PUC Basic Maths Previous Year Question Paper March 2016 (South) 6
4a – 28 ⇒ a = 1
Also given 10(a – 3d) – 4(a + 3d)
10a – 30d = 4a + 12d
6a = 42 d
42 = 42d ⇒ d = 1
∴ the 4 numbers are 4, 6,8,10

Answer:
Given a + b = 36 – 0 → (1)
b + c = 34 (2) → (2)
c + a = 40 → (3)
Adding we get 2{a + 6 + c) = 110 ⇒ a + b + c = 55 → (4)
Equ 4 – Equ 2 gives a = 55 – 34 = 21
Where A’s age = a = 21 yrs

Question 35.
A certain amount invested at 4% p.a. compounded semi-annually amount to Rs. 78030 at the end of one year. Find the sum.
Answer:
F = 78,030, r = 4% = 0.04, n = 1 yr
F = P\(\left(1+\frac{r}{2}\right)^{n \times 2}\)
78,030 = P\(\left(1+\frac{0.02}{2}\right)^{2}\)
P = \(\frac{78.030}{(1.01)^{2}}\) = ₹75,000

Answer:
Let the line passess thr y-axis at A(0, C) and x-axis at B, and m = tanθ is slope of the line by using one point formula we get y – y1 = m(x – x1)
y – c = m(x – 0)
⇒ y – c – mx
⇒ y = mx + c is the required equation of the line.
Also equation passing thr (0, 0) is y = mx

Question 38.
Find the equation of the line which passes through the point (-4, 5) and whose intercepts are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign.
Answer:
Intercept form is \(\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}\) = 1
Given b = -a
∴ \(\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{-a}\) – 1

Question 39.
In a college, 2/5th of the students play basketball, and 3/4th play volleyball. If 50 students play none of these two games and 125 play both find the numbers of students who play.
(a) at least one of the two games.
(b) exactly one
Represent the results using the Venn diagram.
Answer:
Let total students = x,
Let A = basket ball and B = volley ball
∴ n(A) = \(\frac{2}{5}\)x
n(B) = \(\frac{3}{4}\)x

Given n (AUB)’ = 50 n(AnB) = 125
n(AUB) = x – x(AUB)’ = x – 50

(a) n(AuB) = n(A) + n(B) – n(A n B)
x – 50 = 0.4x + 0.75x – 125
∴ 75 = 1.15x – 1x = 0.15x
x = \(\frac{75}{0.15}\) = 500
n( A u B) = x – 50 = 500 – 50 = 450

(b) n(only A) + n(only B)
n(A) = \(\frac{2}{5}\) × 500 = 200
= 200 – 125 + 375 – 125

Answer:
Let x = \(\frac{1.234 \times .0 .8921}{43.43 \times 0.0092}\)
Taking logm both sides we get
logx = log 1.234 + log 0.8921 – log43.43 – log 0.0092
= 0.931 + 1.9504 – 1.6378 – 3.9638
logx = 0.4401
x = A.L(0.440l)
x = 2.755.

Question 41.
Ms. Sneha buys a second-hand bike for Rs. 18,000 she pays Rs. 12,000 cash and agrees to pay the balance in 12 annual installments of Rs. 500 each plus 10% interest on the unpaid amount. How much will the bike cost her?
Answer:
Balance amount 18,000 – 12,000 = 6,000 Rs.
No. of instalment = 12, Each unit amt = Rs. 500
1st instalment = 500 + 6000 × 0.1 = 1,100
2nd instalment = 500 + 5000 × 0.l = 1050
3rd instalment = 500 + 5000 × o. 1 = 1000
Cost of instalments = 1,100 + 1050 + 1000 +……………. 12 instalment
The terms are in A.P with d = -50, a = 1,100
∴ Sm = \(\frac{12}{2}\)[1,100 + (12-1) × -50] = 6(1,100 – 550) = 6 × 550 = ₹3300
∴ Total cost= 12,000 +3,300 = ₹15,300

A father wants to send his child for higher studies after 15 years. He expects the cost of higher studies to be Rs. 1,00,000. How much should he share annually to have one lakh after 15 years if the interest rate ¡s 12% C.I. per annum?
Answer:
Given data F = 1,00000, a = ?, n = 15, r = 0.12
F = \(\frac{a\left[(1+i)^{n}-1\right]}{i}\)
1,00,000 = a\(\frac{\left[(1+0.12)^{15}-1\right]}{0.12}\)
a = \(\frac{1,00000}{(1.12)^{75}-1}\) = ₹ 2682.47

Question 45.
Find x if \(\frac{x \sin ^{2} 300^{\circ} \cdot \sec 240^{\circ}}{\cos ^{2} 225^{\circ} \cdot {cosec} 240^{\circ}}\) = cot 135° tan 315°
Answer:
sin 300 = sin (360 – 60) = – sin 60 = \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)
sec 240 = sec(180 + 60)= – sec60°= – 2
cos 225 = cos(180 + 45°) – cos45°= – \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
cosec 240 = cosec (180 + 60°) = – cosec 60 = – \(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\)
cot 315° = cot (360 – 45°) = – cot 45° = – 1
tan 300 = tan (360 – 60°) = – tan 600 = – \(\sqrt{3}\)

∴ The given equation becomes:
\(\frac{x \cdot \frac{3}{4} \cdot 4}{\frac{1}{2}, \frac{4}{3}}\) = 1.3
⇒ x = \(\frac{6}{9}=\frac{2}{3}\)

Let P(x, y) divide AB in
the ratio k: 1 ratio
∴ P(x, y) = \(\left(\frac{4 k+1}{k+1}, \frac{5 k+2}{k+1}\right)\)
(x, 0) = \(\left(\frac{4 k+1}{k+1}, \frac{5 k+2}{k+1}\right)\)
⇒ \(\frac{5 k+2}{k+1}\) = 0 ⇒ k = \(\frac{-2}{5}\)
ratio is 2: 5 externaily
∴ P = (-1, 0)

Question 47.
Find the equation for the locus of a point that moves such that the sum of its distances from (0, 3) and (0, -3) is 8 units.
Answer:

Given |PA| + |PB| = 8
|PA| = \(\sqrt{x^{2}+(y-3)^{2}}\) & |PB| = \(\sqrt{x^{2}+(y+3)^{2}}\)
|PA| = 8 – |PB|
S.B.S We get
x2 + (y – 3)2 = \(\left(8-\sqrt{x^{4}+(y+3)^{2}}\right)^{2}\)
Simplifying we get the required equation of the locus 16x2 + 7y2 = 112.

(b) Prove that the lines x + y + 4 = 0, 2x = 3y + 7 and 3x + y = -6 are concurrent. Also find the point of concerrency.
Answer:
Solving equations 1 and 2 we get
x + y + 4 = 0 …(1)
2x – 3y – 7 = 0 …(2)
x = -1 & y = -3
Put x = -1 and y = -3 in eqn (3) We get

3(-1) + -3 = -6 – 6 = – 6
Hence the 3 lines are concurrent and the point of concurrency (-1, -3)
