Question 1.
The function f(x) = 2x3 + 9x2 + 12x – 1 is decreasing on [1]
(a) [-1, ∞)
(b) [-1, 1]
(c) ( – ∞, -2)
(d) [-2, -1]
Solution:
(d) [-2, -1]

Explanation:
Given f(x)= 2x3 + 9x2 + 12x – 1
So, f ‘(x) = 6x2 + 18x + 12
= 6 (x2 + 3x + 2) = 6 (x + 2) (x + 1)
Here, f ‘(x) ≤ 0 if x [-2, -1]
Hence, f(x) is decreasing on [-2, -1].

Question 4.
The value of C for which P(X= n) = C.n3 is the probability function of a random variable X that takes the values 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 is: [1]
(a) \(\frac{1}{10}\)
(b) \(\frac{1}{100}\)
(c) \(\frac{1}{20}\)
(d) \(\frac{1}{30}\)
Solution:
(b) \(\frac{1}{100}\)

Explanation:
Here,
P(X = 0) = C.03, P(X = 1) = C13, P(X = 2) = C.23,
P(X = 3) = C.33, P(X = 4) = C43
Further, we know that ΣP(X = xi) = 1
So, C.03 + C.13 + C.23 + C.33 + C.43 = 1
⇒ C(1 + 8 + 27 + 64) = 1
⇒ C = \(\frac{1}{100}\)

Question 5.
The slope of the tangent to the curve x = t2 + 3t- 8, y = 2t2 – 2t – 5 at the point (2, -1) is: [1]
(a) \(\frac{22}{7}\)
(b) \(\frac{-6}{7}\)
(c) \(\frac{7}{6}\)
(d) \(\frac{6}{7}\)
Solution:
(d) 7

Explanation:
Given x = t2 + 3t – 8, y = 2t2 – 2t – 5,
we have \(\frac{\mathrm{dx}}{\mathrm{dt}}\) = 2t + 3; \(\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) = 4t – 2
⇒ \(\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dt}}\) = \(\frac{d y / d t}{d x / d t}\) = \(\frac{4 t-2}{2 t+3}\) ………………. (1)
At (2, -1), we have t2 + 3t – 8 = 2 and 2t2 – 2t – 5 = -1
⇒ t = 2
Substituting this value of t in (1), we have \(\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) = \(\frac{6}{7}\)
⇒ slope of the tangent to the curve at (2, -1) is \(\frac{6}{7}\).

(d) 18
Solution:
(d) 18

Explanation:
Here, np = 13.5 and npq = 3.375
So, q = \(\frac{1}{4}\) and hence p = \(\frac{3}{4}\) and n = 18
Thus, the number of trials is 18.

Solution:
(b) 130 m

Explanation:
Distance covered by B = 150 – 20
= 130 m

Question 9.
If in a binomial distribution n = 600, p = \(\frac{2}{5}\), then its standard deviation is: [1]
(a) 12
(b) 10
(c) 8
(d) 4
Solution:
(a) 12

Explanation:
Here, np = 600 × \(\frac{2}{5}\) = 240 and q = 1 – p = 1 – \(\frac{2}{5}\) = \(\frac{3}{5}\)
So, npq = 240 × \(\frac{3}{5}\) = 144
Thus, S. D = \(\sqrt{n p q}\) = 12

Question 20.
Assertion (A): If the matrix P = \(\left[\begin{array}{ccc}
0 & 2 b & -2 \\
3 & 1 & 3 \\
3 a & 3 & 3
\end{array}\right]\) is a symmetric matrix, then a = \(\frac{-2}{3}\) and b = \(\frac{3}{2}\)
Reason (R): If P is a symmetric metrix then P’ = -P
Solution:
(c) (A) is true but (R) is false.

Explanation:
If P is a symmetric matrix, then P’ = P
Hence, R is false.
As P is a symmetric matrix, P’ = P
∴ \(\left[\begin{array}{ccc}
0 & 3 & 3 a \\
2 b & 1 & 3 \\
-2 & 3 & -1
\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}
0 & 2 b & -2 \\
3 & 1 & 3 \\
3 a & 3 & -1
\end{array}\right]\)
∴ By equality of matrices, a = \(\frac{-2}{3}\) and b = \(\frac{3}{2}\).

Question 22.
In a game, A can give 15 points to B and 30 points to C. Further, B can give 20 points to C. How many points make the game? [2]
OR
Two pipes P and Q can fill a cistern in 12 minutes and 15 minutes respectively. If both pipes are opened together and at the end of 3 minutes the first pipe is closed, then how much longer will the cistern take to fill the cistern?
Solution:
Let ‘x’ points make the game. Then, A scores x points, B scores (x – 15) points and C scores (x – 30) points B scores x points, C scores (x – 20) points Thus, (x – 15)/(x – 30) = x/(x – 20) x = 60

OR

Part of the tank filled in by both pipes in 1 minute = 1/12 + 1/15 = 3/20
So, Part of the tank filled in by both pipes in 3 minutes = 9/20
Remaining part of the tank that is to be filled = 1 – 9/20 = 11/20
Let the remaining part of the tank be filled in ‘n minutes. Then,
n × 1/15 = 11/20
n = 33/4 , i.e., 8 1/4 minutes.

300 ml One consumer suspects that the bottles are under filled. He measures the contents of 10 bottles which are as follows:
299.7, 298.1, 298.8, 297.6, 301.1,
297.1, 299.3, 298.3, 300.4, 301.5
Do the data confirms the claim? Assume that the contents of the bottles are normally distributed with a standard deviation of 3.5 mL Test your hypothesis at a 5% level of significance. ( Given tg (0.05) = 2.26) [3]
Solution:
Here we have to test
H0 : µ = 300 against H1 : µ ≠ 300
Let µ be the mean content of the soft- drink bottles and \(\bar{x}\) be the sample mean.
Here, the sample size n = 10 and sample mean \(\bar{x}=\frac{2991.9}{10}\) = 299.19 ml
The statistic t is
t = \(\frac{\overline{\mathrm{X}}-\mu}{\mathrm{S} / \sqrt{n}}=\frac{299.19-300}{3.5 / \sqrt{10}}\) = -0.73
⇒ |t| = 0.73
The table value of t at α = 0.05 and 9 d.f. is 2.263.
Conclusion: Since |t| < tα, the null hypothesis is accepted. And hence, the data confirms the claim.

Question 29.
An investor is considering to purchase 5 years ₹ 1000 par value bond bearing a coupon rate of 7%. The investor’s required rate of return is 8%. The bond is quoted at ₹ 950. The bond will be redeemed at par value. Advise him.
[Given (1.08)-5 = 0.6805832008] [3]
Solution:
Here,
F = Face value of the bond = ₹ 1000
n = number of periodic divident payments = 5
i = Annual yield rate = 0.08
R = F × id = ₹(1000 × 0.07) = ₹ 70
Since the bond is to be redeemed at par,
C = Redemption price or Maturity value = Face value = ₹ 1000
Let V be the purchase price of the bond. Then,
V = \(\mathrm{R}\left[\frac{1-(1+i)^{-n}}{i}\right]\) + F(1 – i)-n
= ₹ {70 \(\left[\frac{1-(1+0.08)^{-5}}{0.08}\right]\) + 1000 (1 + 0.08)-5}
= ₹ {875 [1 – (1.08)-5] + 1000 (1.08)-5}
= ₹ {875 [1 – 0.6805832008] + 1000 (0.6805832008)
= ₹ {279.49 + 680.58}, or ₹ 960.07
Hence, It is advisable to purchase the bond at ₹ 950.

Question 30.
A bond has a face value of ?1000 matures in 5 years and its present value is ₹ 1200. If coupon rate is 8% p.a. paid semi-annually, find the yield to maturity (YTM) [3]
Solution:
Given, F = ₹ 1000 and id = 0.04
R = F × id = ₹ (1000 × 0.04) = ₹ 40
Also, Present value = ₹ 1200
Now,
Approx. YTM = Approx. YTM = \(\frac{C+\frac{F-P . V .}{n}}{\frac{F-P . V .}{2}}\)
= ₹ \(\left[\frac{40+\frac{1000-1200}{10}}{\frac{1000+1200}{2}}\right]\) = \(\frac{40-20}{1100}=\frac{2}{110}\) = 0.0182
So, Approx. YTM = 0.0182 or 1.82% per half year or 3.64% per annum
Hence, the yield to maturity is 3.64% per annum.

(a + b + c) \(\left(\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}+\frac{1}{c}\right)\) – 9
= \(\frac{c(a-b)^2+a(b-c)^2+b(c-a)^2}{a b c}\)
Since a > 0, b > 0, c > 0, abc > 0 and
(a – b)2 ≥ 0 (b – c)2 ≥ 0 and (c – a)2 ≥ 0
So, \(\frac{c(a-b)^2+a(b-c)^2+b(c-a)^2}{a b c}\) ≥ 0
This gives (a + b + c) \(\left(\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}+\frac{1}{c}\right)\) ≥ 9

The given demand function is p = 35 – 2x – x2
(A) when x0 is 2,
p0 = 35 – 2(2) – (2)2 = 27
CBSE Sample Papers for Class 12 Applied Mathematics Set 2 with Solutions 15
Hence, consumer’s surplus is 9 \(\frac{1}{3}\)

(B) When Po is 20,35 – 2x0 – x02 = 20
⇒ x02 + 2x0 – 15 = 0
⇒ (x0 + 5)(x0 – 3) = 0
⇒ x0 = -5 or 3
⇒ x0 = 3 (∵ x0 ≠ 5)
So, C.S. = \(\int_0^{x_0} p d x-p_0 x_0\)
= \(\int_0^3\left(35 \quad 2 x-x^2\right) d x\) – (20) (3)
= \(\left[35 x-x^2-\frac{1}{3} x^3\right]_0^3\) – 60
= [105 – 9 – 9 – 0] – 60
= 27
Hence, consumer’s surplus is 27

Question 33.
The population of a village increases continuously at the rate proportional to the number of its inhabitants present at any time. If the population of the village was 20,000 in 1999 and 25,000 in the year 2004, what will be the population of the village in 2009? [5]
Solution:
Let y denote the population at any time t.
From the given condition, we have \(\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dt}}\) = ky,
where k is constant of proportionality.
⇒ \(\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{y}}\) = k dt
Integrating both sides, we have \(\int \frac{d y}{y}=\int k d t\)
⇒ log y = kt + C ……………….. (1)
Let y0 = 20000 be the population at t = 0.
Then, from (1), C = log y0
∴ From (1), we get log \(\left(\frac{y}{y_0}\right)\) = kt ………………… (2)
Now y = 25000 when t = 5. So, by (2),

Question 34.
An urn contains 5 white, 7 red and 8 black balls. If four balls are drawn one by one with replacement, what is the probability that (i) all are white? (ii) only 3 are white? (ill) none is white? (iv) at last three are white? [5]

A manufacturer of envelopes knows that the weight of the envelopes is normally distributed with mean 1.9 gm and variance 0.01 gm. Find how many envelopes weighing (A) 2 gm or more (B) 2.1 gm or more can be expected in a given packet of 1000 envelopes.
Solution:
Let p denote the probability of drawing a white ball from an urn containing 5 white, 7 red and
8 black balls, Then, p = \(\frac{5}{5+7+8}\) = 0.25
Therefore, q = 1 – p = 1 – 0.25 = 0.75
Let X denote the number of white balls in 4 draws with replacement. Then, X is a binomial variate with parameters n = 4 and p = 0.25
such that P(X = r) = 4Cr (0.25)r(0.75)4-r; r = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4
Now, Probability that all are white balls = P(X) = 4C4 (0.25)4(0.75)0
= 0.254, or \(\frac{1}{256}\)
Probability that only 3 are white balls = P(X = 4C3(0.25)3(0.75)1 = 4(0.25)3 (0.75)1, or \(\frac{3}{64}\)
Probability that none is white balls = P(X = 0) = 4C0 (0.25)0(0.75)4 = ( 0.75)4, or \(\frac{81}{256}\)
Probability that at least 3 are white balls = P(X ≥ 3)
= P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)
= \(\frac{3}{64}\) + \(\frac{1}{256}\) { From (i) and (ii)}
= \(\frac{13}{256}\)

OR

According to the problem,
Z = \(\frac{X-65.5}{12}\)
(A) P(46 < X < 68)
= P(-1.63 < Z < 0.21)
= P(0 < Z < 1.63) +P(0 < Z < 0.21) = 0.4484 + 0. 0832 = 0.53 16 Thus, the number of students having weight between 46 and 68 kg is 700 × 0.5316 = 372 (B) P(X > 68) = P(Z > 0.21)
= 0.5 – P(0 < Z < 0.21)
= 0.5 – 0. 0832
= 0.4168
Thus, the number of students having weight more than 68 kg is 700 × 0.4 168 = 292

Question 35.
A company has issued a bond having the face value of ₹ 10,000 paying annual dividends at 8.5%. The bond will be redeemed at par at the end of 10 years. Find the purchase price of this bond if the investor wishes a yield rate of 8%. [5]
[Given (1.08)-10 = 0.46319349] 5
Solution:
Here,
F = Face value of the bond = ₹ 10,000
n = number of periodic divident payments = 10
i = Annual yield rate = 0.08
R = F × id = ₹ ( 10,000 × 0.085) = ₹ 850
Since the bond is redeemed at par,
C = Redemption price or Maturity value = Face value = ₹ 10,000
Let V be the purchase price of the bond. Then,
V = \(R\left[\frac{1-(1+i)^{-n}}{i}\right]\) + F(1 + i)-n
= ₹ {850 \(\left[\frac{1-(1+0.08)^{-10}}{0.08}\right]\) + 10,000(1 + 0.08-10)}
= ₹ {10625 [ 1 – (1.08)-10] 10,000(1.08)-10}
= ₹ {10625 [1 – 0.46319349] + 10,000(0.46319349)}
= ₹ {5703.57 + 4631.93}, or ₹ 10,335. 50
Hence, the purchase price of the bond is ₹ 10,335.50.
Let x = (1.08)-10
⇒ log x = – 10 log (1.08)
⇒ log x = – 10 × 034237555
= – 0.334237555
or CBSE Sample Papers for Class 12 Applied Mathematics Set 2 with Solutions 17
⇒ x = anti log (CBSE Sample Papers for Class 12 Applied Mathematics Set 2 with Solutions 17)
= 0.46319349

OR
Solve the following inequation.
\(\frac{2 x+4}{x-1}\) ≥ 5
Solution:
(A) Given, -3x + 12 < 0
-3x < – 12 ⇒ \(\frac{-3 x}{-3}>\frac{-12}{-3}\)
⇒ x > 4
Thus, for any real number greater than 4 is a solution of the given inequation.

(B) We have,
5x – 3 < 3x + 1
⇒ 5x – 3x < 3 + 1
⇒ 2x < 4
⇒ \(\frac{2 x}{2}<\frac{4}{2}\)
⇒ -x < 1
If x ∈ N, then x = 1

(C) We have,
\(\frac{2 x-3}{4}\) + 9 ≥ 3 + \(\frac{4 x}{3}\)
⇒ \(\frac{2 x-3}{4}-\frac{4 x}{3}\) ≥ 3 – 9
⇒ \(\frac{3(2 x-3)-16 x}{12}\) ≥ -6
⇒ \(\frac{6 x-9-16 x}{12}\) ≥ -6
⇒ \(\frac{-9-10 x}{12}\) ≥ -6
⇒ -10x ≥ -72 +9
⇒ -10x ≥ -63
⇒ \(\frac{-10 x}{-10} \leq \frac{-63}{-10}\)
⇒ x ≤ \(\frac{63}{10}\)
x ∈ (-∞, \(\frac{63}{10}\))
Hence, the solution set of the given in equations is (–∞, \(\frac{63}{10}\)).
