5. Prove that 3cos⁻¹ x = cos⁻¹ (4x³ − 3x), x ∈ [1/2 , 1]
Sol. In RHS, put x = cos θ ⇒ θ = cos⁻¹ x .
Also, as 1/2 ≤ x ≤ 1    ⇒ 1/2  ≤ cosθ ≤1    ⇒  0 ≤ θ ≤ π/3    ⇒ 0 ≤ 3θ ≤ π
Now, RHS: cos⁻¹(4x³ −3x) = cos⁻¹(4cos³θ −3cosθ) = cos⁻¹ cos3θ = 3θ = 3cos⁻¹ x = LHS.

revenue we mean the rate of change of total revenue with respect to the number of items sold at an instant.
Sol. R(x) = 3x² + 36x + 5 ⇒ MR = d/dx [R(x)] = 6x + 36
When x = 5 , then MR = 6×5 + 36 = 66 in rupees.

9. Find :

Sol.

10. Solve the differential equation cos (dy/dx) = a, (a ∈ R )
Sol. cos (dy/dx) = a  ⇒ dy/dx = cos ⁻¹a        ⇒ ∫dy = ∫cos ⁻¹adx   ⇒ y = (cos⁻¹ a) x +C.

11. If a̅ + b̅ + c̅ = 0 and a̅ = 5, b̅ = 6 and c̅ = 9 then find the angle between a̅ and b̅. 
Sol. Let θ be the required angle betweena̅ and b̅.
Now a̅ + b̅ + c̅ = 0     ⇒  a̅ + b̅ = −c̅       ⇒ |a̅ + b̅| = |−c̅| = |c̅|  ⇒ |a̅ + b̅|² = |c̅|²
⇒ (a̅ + b̅).(a̅ + b̅) = c̅.c̅           ⇒  a² + 2a̅ .b̅ + b² = c²      ⇒ 25 + 2ab cosθ + 36 = 81
⇒ 2×5×6cos θ = 20               ⇒ 2 × 5 × 6 cosθ = 20     ⇒ cos θ = 20/60 = 1/3       ∴ θ = cos ⁻¹1/3 .

16. Find the angle of intersection of the curves x² + y² = 4 and (x − 2)² + y² = 4 , at the point in the first quadrant.
Sol. We have x² + y² = 4 and (x − 2)² + y² = 4 …(ii)
On solving (i) and (ii), we get : x² − 4x + 4 + y² = 4       ⇒ x =1      ∴ y = ± √3 .
So, the points of intersection are P(1, √3) and Q(1,− √3) .
As we have to find the angle of intersection in the first quadrant so, we shall take only point

OR

Find the intervals in which the function f (x) = −2x³ −9x² −12x +1 is
(i) Strictly increasing (ii) Strictly decreasing.
Sol. Given f (x) = −2x³ −9x² −12x +1     ⇒  f ‘(x) = −6x² −18x −12 = −6(x +1)(x + 2)
For critical points, f ‘(x) = −6(x +1)(x + 2) = 0 ∴x = −1,−2

So, clearly f (x) is Strictly decreasing in (−∞,−2)∪(−1, ∞) and Strictly increasing in (−2,−1) .

Sol. Let A(4î + 3ĵ+ 3k̂ ) , B(5î + xĵ+ 7k̂ ) , C(5î + 3ĵ) and D(7î + 6ĵ+ k̂ )

⇒ 1(0 + 9) − (x − 4)(−2+ 9) + 4(3− 0) = 0    ∴ x = 7 .

21. Find the shortest distance between the lines 

Sol. Writing lines in the vector form : r̅ = î + 2ĵ+ 3k̂ + λ(2iˆ + 3ĵ+ 4k̂ ) and
r̅ = 2î + 4ĵ+ 5k̂ + μ(3î + 4ĵ+ 5k̂)
So, we have  a̅₁ = î + 2ĵ+ 3k̂, b̅₁  = 2î + 3ĵ+ 4k̂  a̅₂ = 2î + 4ĵ+ 5k̂, b̅₂ = 3î + 4ĵ+ 5k̂ . 
∴  a̅₂ − a̅₁ = î + 2ĵ+ 2k̂ .

22. Two groups are competing for the position of the Board of Directors of a corporation. The probabilities that the first and second groups will win are 0.6 and 0.4 respectively. Further, if the first group wins, the probability of introducing a new product is 0.7 and the corresponding probability is 0.3 if the second group wins. Find the probability that the new product introduced was by the second group.
Sol. Let E₁, E₂ denote the events that first group and second group wins, respectively. Also, let E
denotes that the new product is introduced.
Here P(E₁) = 0.6, P(E₂) = 0.4, P(E|E₁) = 0.7, P(E|E₂) = 0.3.

Total bulbs = 20, and defective bulbs = 5

SECTION – D

24. Show that the relation R on the set Z of all integers defined by (x, y) ∈ R ⇔(x − y) is divisible by 3, is an equivalence relation.
Sol. We’ve relation R defined on Z as, (x, y) ∈ R ⇔(x − y) is divisible by 3.That is, R = {(x, y) :3 divides x − y} defined on Z.
R is reflexive, as 3 divides (x – x) i.e., 0 for all x ∈ Z. That is, x R x for all x ∈ Z.
Further if (x, y) ∈ R for all x, y ∈ Z, then 3 divides (x – y). Therefore, 3 divides (y – x) as well.
Hence, (y, x) ∈ R, which follows that R is symmetric.
Similarly, if (x, y) ∈ R and (y, z) ∈ R, then (x – y) and (y – z) are both divisible by 3.
That is, x − y = 3p, y − z = 3m where p, m ∈ Z.
Note that, x – z = (x – y) + (y – z) = 3p + 3m = 3 (p + m). So, (x – z) is divisible by 3.
This shows that R is transitive as (x, z) ∈ R.
Thus, R is an equivalence relation in Z.

OR

A binary operation * on the set A = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5} is defined as

Write the operation table for a * b in A.
Show that zero is the identity for this operation * and each element ‘a’ ≠ 0 of the set is
invertible with 6 – a, being the inverse of ‘a’.
Sol.

Let x be the identity for an element a.
So a * x = a . If a + x < 6 then, a + x = a or if a + x ≥ 6 then, a + x − 6 = a
That is, a + x < 6 then, x = 0∈A or if a + x ≥ 6 then, x = 6 ∉ A
Therefore, x = 0 is the identity element for this operation.
Also let y be the inverse of each non-zero element a. Then a * y = 0 .
If a + y < 6 then, a + y = 0 or if a + y ≥ 6 then, a + y − 6 = 0
i.e., a + y < 6 then, y = −a ∉ A for all a ∈ A −{0}
Or, if a + y ≥ 6 then, y = 6 − a ∈ A for all a ∈ A−{0}
∴y = 6 − a is the inverse of each non-zero element a of A .

28. Find the vector equation of the line passing through (1, 2, 3) and parallel to each of the planes r̅.(î − ĵ+ 2k̂) = 5 and r̅.(3iˆ + ĵ+ k̂ ) = 6 . Also find the point of intersection of the line thus obtained with the plane r̅.(2î + ĵ+ k̂ ) = 4 .
Sol. 

are d.r.’s of the required line.
This line is parallel to the planes r̅.(î − ĵ+ 2k̂) = 5 and r̅.(3iˆ + ĵ+ k̂ ) = 6 . So, clearly, the normals
of these two planes will be perpendicular to the line (i).
Therefore, a − b + 2c = 0 and 3a + b + c = 0

Hence, the vector eq. is : r̅ = î + 2ĵ+ 3k̂ + λ(−3î + 5ĵ+ 4k̂) .
Now consider the random point on line (i) as : P(−3λ +1, 5λ + 2, 4λ + 3) . For the intersection of
line and the plane r̅.(2î + ĵ+ k̂ ) = 4 i.e., 2x + y + z = 4 , point P must satisfy the eq. of plane.
So, 2(−3λ +1) + (5λ + 2) + (4λ + 3) = 4 ⇒ λ = −1
Hence the point of intersection is P(4, –3, –1).

29. A company produces two types of goods, A and B, that require gold and silver. Each unit of type A requires 3 g of silver and 1 g of gold while that of B requires 1 g of silver and 2 g of gold. The company can use at most 9 g of silver and 8 g of gold.

Formulate and solve graphically the LPP and find the maximum profit.
