Determine:
(i) k
(ii) P(X ≥ 2)
Solution:
The probability distribution of X is
2nd PUC Maths Previous Year Question Paper March 2018 Q24
(i) We know that \(\sum_{i=1}^{n} p i=1\)
Therefore 0.1 + k + 2k + 2k + k = 1
⇒ k = 0.15

(ii) P(you study at least two hours) = P(X ≥ 2)
= P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)
= 2k + 2k + k
= 5k
= 5 × 0.15
= 0.75
P(you study exactuly two hours) = P(X = 2)
= 2k
= 2 × 0.15
= 0.3
P(you study at most two hours) = P(X ≤ 2)
= P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)
= 0.1 + k + 2k
= 0.1 + 3k
= 0.1 +3 × 0.15
= 0.55

Question 25.
Show that the relation R in the set A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} given by R = {(a, b) : |a – b| is even}, is an equivalence relation.
Solution:
|a – a| = |o| = 0 is even
(a, a) ∈ R.
∴ R is reflexive.
Let (a, b) ∈ R ⇒ |a – b| is even
⇒ |-(a – b)| is even
⇒ |(b – a)| is even
⇒ (b, a) ∈ R
∴ R is symmetric.
Let (a, b) ∈ R and (b, c) ∈ R
⇒ |a – b| is even and |b – c| is even
⇒ a – b is even
⇒ b – c is even
⇒ a – b + b – c is even
⇒ a – c is even
⇒ |a – c| is even
∴ (a, c) ∈ R.
∴ R is transitive
∴ R is an equivalence relation.

Question 28.
If x = sin t, y = cos 2t then prove that \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = -4 sin t

Question 29.
Verify Rolle’s theorem for the function f(x) = x2 + 2, x ∈ [-2, 2]
Solution:
The function y = x2 + 2 is Continuous in {-2, 2} and differentiable in (-2, 2). Also f(-2) = f(2) = 6 and hence the value of f(x) at -2 and 2 coincide.
Rolle’s theorem states that there is a point c ∈ (-2, 2) where f'(c) = 0. Since f'(x) = 2x, we get c = 0. Thus at c = 0, we have f'(c) = 0 and c = 0 ∈ (-2, 2).

Question 30.
Find two numbers whose sum is 24 and whose product is as large as possible.
Solution:
Let one number be x. Then, the other number is (24 – x).
(∵ Sum of the two numbers is 24)
Let y denotes the product of the two numbers. Thus, we have
y = x(24 – x) = 24x – x2
On differentiating twice w.r.t. x, we get
\(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 24 – 2x and \(\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}\) = -2
Now, put \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 0
⇒ 24 – 2x = 0
⇒ x = 12
At x = 12, \(\frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}\) = -2 < 0
∴ By second derivative test, x = 12 is the point of local mxima of y. Thus, the product of the number is maximum when the numbers are 12 and 24 – 12 = 12.
Hence, the numbers are 12 and 12.

Question 31.
Find: \(\int \frac{x d x}{(x+1)(x+2)}\)

Question 32.
Find: ∫ex sin x dx
Solution:
Take ex as the first function and sin x as second function. Then integrating by parts, we have
I = ∫ex sin x dx = ex (-cos x) + ∫ex cos x dx = -ex cos x + I1 (say) …… (1)
Taking ex and cos x as the first and second functions, respectively, in I1, we get
I = ex sin x – ∫ex sin x dx
Substituting the value of I1 in (i), we get
I = -ex cos x + ex sin x – 1 or 2I = ex (sin x – cos x)
Hence I = ∫ex sin x dx = \(\frac{e^{x}}{2}\) (sin x – cos x) + C
