(ii) Level of output at which he will incur a loss of ₹1150
(iii) Break-even level of production.
Answer:
C(x)= 7.20x + 2116,
R(x)= 8.35x
P(x) = R(x) – C(x)

(i) P(x) = 4,600,
4600 = 8.35x – [7.20x + 2116] = 1.15x – 2116
1.15x = 4600 + 2116 = 6716 = 5840 .

(ii) C(x) – R(x) = 1150,
7.20x + 2116 – 8.35x = 1150
115x = 966,
x = 840 units

(iii) C(x) = R(x)
720x + 2116 = 8.35x,
2116 = 8.35x – 7.20x
2116 = 1.1 5x
x = 1840 units BEP

Question 50.
(a) If the lines 2x – y = 5,
Kx-y = 6 and 4x – y = 1 are concurrent find k.
Answer:
Solving equations 2x – y = 5, & 4x – y = 7 we get
1st PUC Basic Maths Previous Year Question Paper March 2017 (South) 15
∴ y = 2x – 5 = 2 – 5 = -3

Since lines are concurrent put x = 1 and y = -3 in kx – y = 6
Kx – y = 6 ⇒ K(1) – (-3) = 6
⇒ K + 3 = 6
⇒ K = 6 – 3
⇒ K = 3

(b) Find sum of 7 + 77 + 777 + ……… n terms.
Answer:
Let Sn = 7 + 77 + 777 +…………….n terms
= 7 [1 + 11 + 111 + –—–— to n terms] = \(\frac{7}{9}\)[9 + 99 + 999 + …………. to n terms]
= \(\frac{7}{9}\)[(10 – 1) + (100 – 1) + (1000 – 1)+……………to n terms]
= \(\frac{7}{9}\)[(10 + 102 + 103 +…………to n terms) – (1 + 1 + 1 …………to n terms]
= \(\frac{7}{9}\left[\frac{10\left(10^{n}-1\right)}{10-1}-n\right]\)[… 10 + 102 + 103……….. to n terms is in GP Where a = 10, r = 10]
Sn = \(\frac{7}{9}\left[\frac{10\left(10^{n}-1\right)}{9}-n\right]\)
