Part-C

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

Question 26.
Prove that $$\sqrt{2}$$ is an irrational number.
We shall prove it by the method ofcontradiction.
If possible Let $$\sqrt{2}$$ be a rational number
Let $$\sqrt{2}$$ = $$\frac{p}{q}$$ where p and q are Integers and q ≠ 0.
Further let p and q are coprime i.e. H.C.F. of p and q = 1.
$$\sqrt{2}$$ = $$\frac{p}{q}$$ ⇒ $$\sqrt{2}$$q = p
⇒ 2q2 = p2
⇒ 2 divides p2 ⇒ 2 divides p
⇒ p is even
Let p = 2k where k is an integer p2 = 4k2
2q2 = 4k2
q2 = 2k2 ⇒ q2 is even
⇒ q is even.
Now p is even and q is even which implies p and q have a common factor 2. which is a
contradiction of the fact that p and q are co-prime.
∴ our assumption that $$\sqrt{2}$$ is rational is wrong and hence $$\sqrt{2}$$ is irrational.

Question 27.
A relation R is defined on the set of integers by
R = {(X, Y): X-Y is a multiple of 5} Show that R is an equivalence relation on Z.
x – x = 0 is a multiple of 5
∴ (x, x) ∈ R ∀ x
R is reflexive

Let (x, y) ∈ R
x – y is a multiple of 5
y – x is a multiple of 5 (y, x) ∈ R
∴ R is symmetric

Let (x, y) ∈ R
(y, z) ∈ R
x -y is a multiple of 5 and y – z is a multiple of 5
(x – y) +(y – z) is a multiple of 5
x-z is a multiple of 5 (x, z) ∈ R

∴ R is transitive
R is an equivalence relative

Question 28.
Solve : 32x – 10.3x + 9 = 0
Let 3x = a ⇒(3x)2 = a2
⇒ 32x = a2
∴ a2 – 10a + 9 = 0
a2 – 9a – a + 9 = 0
a(a – 9) -1 (a – 9) = 0
(a – 9)(a – 1) = 0
a – = 0 a – 9 = 0
a = 1 a = 9
3x = 30 3x = 32
x = 0 x = 2

Question 29.
If x2 + y2 = 12xy, show that 2 log (x – y) = log2 + log 5 + log x + log y.
x2 + y2 = 12xy
x2 + y2 – 2zy = 12xy – 2xy ⇒ (x – y)2 =10xy
log(x-y)2 = log10xy
2 log (x – y) = log 10 + log x + log y
2 log (x – y) = log (2 x 5)+log x + log y
2 log (x – y) = log 2 + log 5 + log x + logy

Question 30.

C = Rs.4,00,000 r = 12% = 0.12 n = 10
B = C(1 – r)n
= 4,00,000 (1 – 0.12)10 = 4,00,000 (0.88)10
B = Rs. 1,11,400.39

Question 34.
The average age of 10 students in a class increases by 4.8 months, when a boy of 6 years is replaced by a new boy. What is the age of the new boy?
Let the average age of 10 students x
∴ Sum of ages of 10 students = 10x
A boy of 6 years is replaced by a new boy whose age is y
∴ Total age of 10 students 10x + y – 6
∴ Average age of 10 students = $$\frac{10 x+y-6}{10}$$
∴ $$\frac{10 x+y-6}{10}$$ = x + $$\frac{4.8}{12}$$ 4.8 months = $$\frac{4.8}{12}$$ years
x by 10
∴ 10x + y – 6 = 10x + $$\frac{48}{12}$$

y = 6 + 4 = 10
∴ Age of the new boy = 10 years

Question 35.
In a dance competition, 70% of the participants were girls. 35% of the boys and 65% of the girls are selected for the next round. If 49 girls were eliminated, And the number of boys who got selected.
Let the total number of participants – x
If 65% of girls got qualified then 35% of girls got eliminated
Total number of girls = $$\frac{70}{100}$$x = 0.7x
Total number of boys = $$\frac{30}{100}$$ × x = 0.3x
∴ total girls eliminated = $$\frac{35}{100}$$ × 0.7x = 0.245x
Hence 0.245x = 49
x = $$\frac{49}{0.245}$$= 200
Hence total number of boys eliminated = $$\frac{35}{100}$$ × 0.3 × 200 = 21

Question 36.
If tan A = $$\frac{-12}{5}$$ and 270% < A < 360° find the value of $$\frac{3 \sin A-2 \cos A}{9 \cos A+4 \sin A}$$

Let x = $$\frac{0.5634 \times 0.0635}{2.563 \times 12.5}$$
log x = log$\frac{0.5634 \times 0.0635}{2.563 \times 12.5}$
= log 0.5634 + log 0.0635 – log 2.563 – log 12.5
=1.7508 + 2.8028-0.4087-1.0969
= 2.5536- 1.5056 = 2 + 0.5536-1.5056

A sum of money amounts to Rs. 19500 in 5 years and 22,200 after 8 years at the same rate of simple interest. Find the principal and rate of interest.
P = ?, A = Rs.19,500, T = 5years
A = Rs.22200, T = 8years R = ?
A = P + SI
A = P + $$\frac{\mathrm{PTR}}{100}$$
19,500= P(1 + $$\frac{5 \mathrm{R}}{100}$$) ………(1)
22,220= P(i + $$\frac{8 \mathrm{R}}{100}$$) ………………(2)

(100 + 5R)222 = (100 + 8R) 195,
22200 + 1110R = 19500 + 1560 R
22200 – 19500 = 1560 R – 1110
R = $$\frac{2700}{450}$$ = 6%p.a. ∴ R = 6%p.a.
From (1)
19,500 = P(1 + $$\frac{5 \mathrm{R}}{100}$$)
19500 = P(1 + $$\frac{5 \cdot 6}{100}$$) = P(1 + $$\frac{30}{100}$$) = P(1 + $$\frac{3}{10}$$) = P($$\frac{10+3}{10}$$) = $$\frac{13}{10}$$P

P = $$\frac{19500 \times 10}{13}$$ = 15,000
∴ P = Rs. 15,000

(a) If A = {1, 2, 3} B = {2, 3, 4}, C = {3, 4, 5} verify (A × B) (A × C) = A × (B ∩ C)
A × B = {(1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (2,2), (2,3), (2,4), (3,2), (3,3), (3,4)}
A × C = {(1,3), (1,4), (1,5), (2,3), (2,4), (2,5), (3,3), (3,4), (3,5)}
(A × B)∩(A × C) = {(1,3),(1,4),(2,3),(2,4),(3,3),(3,4)} B∩C = {3,4}
A × (B∩C) = {(1,3),(1,4),(2,3),(2,4),(3,3),(3,4)} ∴ (A × B)∩(A × C) = A × (B∩C)

(b) The daily cost of production C for x units is given by C(x) = 17.5 x + 7000.
(i) If each unit is sold for 30, then determine the minimum units that should be produced and sold to ensure no loss.
(ii) If it is known that 500 unit can be sold daily what price / unit should be charged to guarantee no loss.
(i) C(x) = 17.5x + 7000
R(x) = 30x, R(x) = C(x)
30x = 175x + 7000,
12.5x = 7000
x = $$\frac{7000}{12.5}$$ = 560 BEP

(ii) If the S.P. is reduced by Rs.3/unit then R(x) = 27x
For BEP R(x) = C(x)
27x = 17.5x + 7000,
27x – 17.5x = 7000
9.5x = 7000,
x = $$\frac{7000}{9.5}$$ = 73684 = 737 units
