The Prime Minister’s Citizen Assistance and Relief in Emergency situations fund was created on 28 March
2020, following the COVID-19 pandemic in India. The fund will be used for combating, and containment and
relief efforts against the corona virus outbreak and similar pandemic like situations in the future. The
allotment officer is trying to come up with a method to calculate fair division of funds across various affected
families so that the fund amount and amount received per family can be easily adjusted based on daily revised
numbers.
The total fund allotted is formulated by the officer is x3+6x2+20x+9. The officer has also divided the fund
equally among families of the village and each family receives an amount of x 2+2x+2. After distribution, an
amount of 10x+1 is left.
On the basis of the above information, answer any four of the following questions:
i) How many families are there in the village?
a) X+4 b) x-3 c) x-4 d) x+3
ii) If an amount of Rs.1911 is left after distribution, what is value of x?
a) 190 b) 290 c) 191 d) 291
iii) How much amount does each family receive?
a) 24490 b) 34860 c) 22540 d) 36865
iv) What is the amount of fund allocated?
a) Rs.7272759 b)Rs.7572681 c)Rs.6972846 d) Rs.8274888
v) How many families are there in the village?
a) 191 b) 98 c) 187 d) 195
19. Case study based-3
Maximum profit: An barrels manufacturer can produce up to 300 barrels per day. The profit made from the
sale of these barrels can be modelled by the function P(x) = -10x2+3500x-66000 where p(x) is the profit in
rupees and x is the number of barrels made and sold.

Based on this model answer the following questions:

i) When no barrels are produce what is a profit loss?

20. Case study based-4

Dipesh bought 3 notebooks and 2 pens for Rs.80. His friend Ramesh said that price of each notebook could be
Rs.25. Then three notebooks would cost Rs.75, the two pens would cost Rs.5 and each pen could be for
Rs.2.50. Another friend Amar felt that Rs.2.50 for one pen was too little. It should be at least Rs.16. Then the
price of each notebook would also be Rs.16.
Lokesh also bought the same types of notebooks and pens as Dipesh. He paid 110 for 4 notebooks and 3 pens.
