CBSE Sample Paper for Class 12 Mathematics Set H

SECTION – A

1. Form the differential equation representing the family of curves y=A/x+5, by eliminating the arbitrary constant A.
Sol. y=A/x+5
⇒ (y − 5)x = A
⇒ (y − 5) × 1 + x × dy/dx = 0
∴ dy/dx = 5−y/x .

2. If A is a square matrix of order 3, with A = 9 , then write the value of |2adj.A| .
Sol. |2adj.A| = 2³ |adj.A| = 8 |A|³⁻¹ = 8 × 9² = 648.

3. Find the acute angle between the planes r̅.(î − 2ĵ− 2k̂) =1 and r̅.(3î − 6ĵ+ 2k̂ ) = 0 .
Sol. The angle between the two planes is same as the angle between their normal vectors.
The normals of the given planes are î − 2ĵ− 2k̂ and 3î − 6ĵ+ 2k̂ . 

OR

Find the length of the intercept, cut off by the plane 2x + y − z = 5 on the x-axis.
Sol. For x-intercept, put y = 0, z = 0 in 2x + y − z = 5
∴ x = 5/2 = x-intercept

4. If y log(cos e^x ), then find dy/dx.
Sol. y = log(cos e^x )
∴ dy/dx = 1/cos e^x × (−sine^x) × e^x  = −e^x tan e^x.

5. Find :

Sol. 

6. Let * be an operation defined as *:R×R→R such that a *b = 2a + b, a, b ∈ R. Check if * is a binary operation. If yes, find if it is associative too.
Sol. As a, b ∈ R             ∴ 2a + b ∈ R . That is, a *b ∈ R .
Hence, * is a binary operation.
Now (a *b)*c = (2a + b)*c, a,b,c ∈ R
⇒ (a *b)*c = 4a + 2b + c
Also, a *(b*c) = a *(2b + c) = 2a + 2b + c ≠ (a *b)*c .
Hence, * isn’t associative.

7. X and Y are two points with position vectors 3a̅ + b̅ and a̅ −3b̅ respectively. Write the position vector of a point Z which divides the line segment XY in the ratio 2 : 1 externally.
Sol.

OR

Let a̅ = î + 2ĵ− 3k̂ and b̅ = 3î − ĵ+ 2k̂ be two vectors. Show that the vectors a̅ + b̅ and a̅ − b̅ are perpendicular to each other.
Sol. If a̅ + b̅ and a̅ − b̅ are perpendicular to each other then, (a̅ + b̅).(a̅ − b̅) = 0
Now (a̅ + b̅).(a̅ − b̅) =  a̅.a̅ − a̅.b̅ + b̅.a̅ − b̅.b̅ = |a̅|² − |b̅|² = |î + 2ĵ−3k̂|² − |3î − ĵ+ 2k̂|² 
⇒ = (1+ 4 + 9) − (9 +1+ 4) = 0.
Hence, a̅ + b̅ and a̅ − b̅ are perpendicular to each other.

8. If A and B are symmetric matrices, such that AB and BA are both defined, then prove that AB− BA is a skew symmetric matrix.
Sol. We have (AB− BA)^T = (AB)^T − (BA)^T = B^TA^T −A^TB^T = BA−AB = −(AB− BA)
                                                              [As A and B are symmetric matrices so, A^T = A, B^T = B.
Hence, AB− BA is a skew symmetric matrix.

9. 12 cards numbered 1 to 12 (one number on one card), are placed in a box and mixed up  thoroughly. Then a card is drawn at random from the box. If it is known that the number on the drawn card is greater than 5, find the probability that the card bears an odd number.
Sol. Let A : the card bears odd number and B : number on the card is greater than 5.
Clearly A ={1,3,5,7,9,11}, B ={6,7,8,9,10,11,12} and A∩B ={7,9,11}

11. Solve the following differential equation :
dy/dx + y = cos x − sin x
Sol. The D.E. is of the form dy/dx +  P(x)y = Q(x), where P(x) = 1, Q(x) cos x − sin x
∴ I.F. = e^∫1dx = e^x
The solution is given by e^x × y = ∫e^x ×(cos x − sin x)dx +C
∴ e^x × y = e^x ×(cos x) + C or, y = cos x + Ce^−x                 [∵ ∫e^x{f (x) + f ‘(x)}dx = e^xf (x) + C

Sol.

OR

Show that the relation S in the set A ={x ∈ Z: 0 ≤ x ≤12} given by
S ={(a,b) : a,b ∈ A, |a − b| is divisible by 3} is an equivalence relation.
Sol. S ={(a,b) : a,b ∈ A, |a − b| is divisible by 3} is defined on the set A ={x ∈ Z: 0 ≤ x ≤12}.
Clearly, S is reflexive, as 3 divides |a − a| = 0 , for all a ∈ A.
Further if (a, b) ∈ S, then 3 divides |a − b| . Therefore, 3 divides −(b − a) = b − a as well.
Hence, (b, a) ∈ S, which follows that S is symmetric.
Similarly, if (a, b) ∈ S and (b, c) ∈ S, then |a − b| and |b − c| are both divisible by 3.
That is, |a − b| = 3m i.e., a − b = ±3m and |b − c| = 3n i.e., b − c = ± 3n
So, (a − b) + (b − c) = a − c = ±3(m+ n)            ⇒ |a − c| = 3(m+ n)
Therefore, |a − c| is divisible by 3.
This shows that S is transitive as (a, c) ∈ S.
Thus, S is an equivalence relation in the set A.

22. A ladder 13 m long is leaning against a vertical wall. The bottom of the ladder is dragged away from the wall along the ground at the rate of 2 cm/sec. How fast is the height on the wall decreasing when the foot of the ladder is 5 m away from the wall?
Sol. Consider the ladder of 13 m length be AB.
Also let at any time t, the lower end of the ladder be at a distance of x m from the wall BC and at
that moment, its height on the wall be y m
Consider the figure shown.  

Hence the height on the wall is decreasing at the rate of 5/6 cm/sec.

28. A dietician wishes to mix two types of food in such a way that the vitamin contents of the mixture contains at least 8 units of vitamin A and 10 units of vitamin C. Food I contains 2 units/kg of vitamin A and 1 unit/kg of vitamin C. It costs `50 per kg to produce food I. Food II contains 1 unit/kg of vitamin A and 2 units/kg of vitamin C and it costs `70 per kg to produce food II. Formulate this problem as a LPP to minimize the cost of a mixture that will produce the required diet. Also find the minimum cost.

and parallel to r̅ = (−2î + 3ĵ) + λ(2î −3ĵ+ 6k̂ ) is : r̅ = (2î + 3ĵ+ 2k̂ ) + λ(2î − 3ĵ+ 6k̂) .
