Section – E

Q17. We all have seen the airplanes

flying in the sky but might have not
thought of how they actually reach the
correct destination. Air Traffic Control
(ATC) is a service provided by ground-
based air traffic controllers who direct
aircraft on the ground and through a
given section of controlled airspace, and
can provide advisory services to aircraft
in non-controlled airspace. Actually, all this air traffic is managed and
regulated by using various concepts based on coordinate geometry and
trigonometry.

At a given instance, ATC finds that the angle of elevation of an airplane from a
point on the ground is 60°. After a flight of 30 seconds, it is observed that the
angle of elevation changes to 30°. The height of the plane remains constantly
as 3000√3 m. Use the above information to answer the questions that follow-
(i) Draw a neat labelled figure to show the above situation diagrammatically.
(ii) What is the speed of the plane in km/hr.
(iii) What is the distance travelled by the plane in 30 seconds?

Jodhpur is the second-largest city in the Indian state of Rajasthan and

officially the second metropolitan city of the state. Jodhpur was historically the
capital of the Kingdom of Marwar, which is now part of Rajasthan. Jodhpur is
a popular tourist destination, featuring many palaces, forts, and temples, set
in the stark landscape of the Thar Desert. It is popularly known as the “Blue
City” among people of Rajasthan and all over India. The old city circles the
Mehrangarh Fort and is bounded by a wall with several gates. The city has
expanded greatly outside the wall, though, over the past several decades.
Jodhpur is also known for the rare breed of horses known as Marwari or
Malani, which are only found here.
Last year we visited Jodhpur in a group of 25 friends. When we went
mehrangarh fort we found following fare for ride :

Ride Normal House Fare Peak House Fair

Horse 50 3 Times
Elephant 100 2 Times

Some people choose to ride on horse and rest choose to ride on elephant.

(i) First day we rode in normal hours and we paid Rs 1950 for ride. Let x be the
number of horses hired and y be the number elephants hired. Which of the
following is the correct system of equation that model the problem ?
(ii) How many horses were hired ?
(iii) How many elephant were hired ?
(iv) Next day we rode in peak hours, then how much total fare was paid by our
group?
(v) What was the increase in total fare because of peak hours ride ?
