(a) onto function (b) one-one, onto function
(c) one-one, into function (d) many-one, into function
Ans : (d) many-one, into function

3. Let set X = {1, 2, 3} and a relation R is defined in X as : R = {(1, 3), (2, 2), (3, 2)}, then
minimum ordered pairs which should be added in relation R to make it reflexive and symmetric
are
(a) {(1, 1), (2, 3), (1, 2)} (b) {(3, 3), (3, 1), (1, 2)}
(c) {(1, 1), (3, 3), (3, 1), (2, 3)} (d) {(1, 1), (3, 3), (3, 1), (1, 2)}
Ans: (c), For reflexive (a, a) ∈ R for a ∈ X
So it can be (c) or (d)
For symmetric (1, 3) ∈R, then (3, 1) should belong to R. Also (2, 3) should belong to R from
above observation.

4. Let Z be the set of integers and R be a relation defined in Z such that aRb if (a – b) is divisible by
5. Then number of equivalence classes are
(a) 2 (b) 3 (c) 4 (d) 5
Ans: (d) 5
as remainder can be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.

5. Let R be a relation defined as R = {(x, x), (y, y), (z, z), (x, z)} in set A = {x, y, z} then relation R
is
(a) reflexive (b) symmetric (c) transitive (d) equivalence
Ans: (a) reflexive, as for all a ∈ A, (a, a)∈R.

6. If R = {(x, y) : x + 2y = 8} is a relation on N, then range of R is

(a) {3} (b) {1, 2, 3}
(c) {1, 2, 3, .... 8} (d) {1, 2}
Ans: (b), as R = {(x, y) : x + 2y = 8} is a relation on N.

Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 1 -

 ∴ R = {(2, 3), (4, 2), (6, 1)},
∴ range = {1, 2, 3}.

7. Let A = {a, b, c}, then the total number of distinct relations in set A are
(a) 64 (b) 32 (c) 256 (d) 512
Ans: (d), as given A = {a, b, c}.
A relation is a subset of A × A.
n(A × A) = 9
we know total subsets of a set containing n elements is 2n.
Total relations = 29 = 512

8. Let X = {x2 : x ∈ N} and the function f : N → X is defined by f(x) = x2, x ∈ N. Then this
function is
(a) injective only (b) not bijective (c) surjective only (d) bijective
Ans: (d) Function is injective as for x1, x2  N,
f(x1) = f(x2)  x12 = x22  x1 = x2, as x1, x2 > 0.
Function is surjective as for y  x
There exists x  N such that y = f(x)
 y = x2  x = y  N.
Function is bijective

For Q9 and Q10, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of reason (R). Choose
the correct answer out of the following choices.
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true.

9. Assertion (A): In set A = {1, 2, 3} a relation R defined as R = {(1, 1), (2, 2)} is reflexive.
Reason (R): A relation R is reflexive in set A if (a, a)  R for all a  A.
Ans: (d) A is false but R is true.

10. Assertion (A): In set A = {a, b, c} relation R in set A, given as R = {(a, c)} is transitive.
Reason (R): A singleton relation is transitive.
Ans: (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

SECTION – B
Questions 11 to 14 carry 2 marks each.
11. Show that the relation R in the set {1, 2, 3} given by R = {(1,1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (1, 2), (2, 3)} is
reflexive but neither symmetric nor transitive.
Ans: Given R = {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (1, 2), (2, 3)} defined on R : {1, 2, 3} {1, 2, 3}
For reflexive: As (1, 1), (2,2), (3, 3) ∈ R. Hence, reflexive
For symmetric: (1, 2) ∈ R but (2, 1) ∉ R. Hence, not symmetric.
For transitive: (1, 2) ∈ R and (2, 3) ∈ R but (1, 3) ∉ R. Hence, not transitive.

12. Prove that the Greatest Integer Function f : R → R, given by f(x) = [x] is neither one-one nor
onto. Where [x] denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to x.
Ans: f : R → R given by f (x) = [x]
Injectivity: Let x1 = 2.5 and x2 = 2 be two elements of R.
f (x1) = f (2.5) = [ 2.5] = 2
f (x2) = f (2) = [2] = 2
∴ f (x1) = f (x2) for x1 ≠ x2

Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 2 -

 ⇒ f (x) = [x] is not one-one i.e., not injective.
Surjectivity: Let y = 2.5 ∈ R be any element.
∴ f (x) = 2.5 ⇒ [x] = 2.5
Which is not possible as [x] is always an integer.
⇒ f (x) = [x] is not onto i.e., not surjective.

13. Let A = {1, 2, 3}, B = {4, 5, 6, 7} and let f = {(1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6)} be a function from A to B.
Show that f is one-one.
Ans : Given f : {1, 2, 3} {4,5,6,7}
as f = {(1,4), (2,5), (3,6)}.
We have f(1) = 4, f(2) = 5, f(3) = 6.
We notice x1≠x2 ⇒ f(x1)≠f(x2).
Hence, one-one.

14. Let the function f : R R be defined by f (x) = cos x ∀ x ∈ R. Show that f is neither one-one nor
onto.
Ans: Given function f(x) = cosx, ∀ x ∈ R
   1
cos  cos    
3  3 2
So, f(x) is not one-one
Now, f(x) is also not onto as range is a subset of real numbers. (–1 ≤ cosx ≤1)
e.g. for y = 2 ∈ R (co-domain) there is no value of x ∈ R (domain) such that
y = f(x) i.e. cosx = 2 (∵ –1 ≤ cosx ≤ 1).

SECTION – C
Questions 15 to 17 carry 3 marks each.

15. Let T be the set of all triangles in a plane with R a relation in T given by R = {(T1, T2) : T1 ≅ T2}.
Show that R is an equivalence relation.
Ans: Given R = {(T1, T2) ∈ T × T : T1 ≅ T2}
For reflexive: (T1, T1) ∈ R is true as T1 ≅ T1 for all T1 ∈ T (i.e. triangle is congruent to itself).
Hence, R is reflexive.
For symmetric: (T1, T2) ∈ R ⇒T1 ≅T2 and T2 ≅T1 (T2, T1) ∈ R.
Hence, R is symmetric.
For transitive: Let(T1, T2) ∈ R and (T2, T3) ∈ R ⇒T1 ≅ T2 and T2 ≅ T3
⇒T1 ≅ T3 ⇒ (T1, T3) ∈ R.
Hence, R is transitive.
Since R is reflexive, symmetric and transitive, therefore R is an equivalence relation.

16. Show that the relation S in the set R of real numbers, defined as S = {(a, b) : a, b ∈ R and a ≤ b3}
is neither reflexive, nor symmetric, nor transitive.
Ans: Given S = {(a, b) ∈ R | a ≤ b3}
We can consider counter example.
For reflexive: Let (–2, –2) ∈ S –2 ≤(–2)3 –2 ≤ –8, false, Hence, not reflexive.
3
For symmetric: Let (–1, 2) ∈ S –1 ≤ (2) –1 ≤ 8 true,
If symmetric then (2, –1) ∈ S
2 ≤(–1)3 2 ≤ –1, false, Hence, not symmetric.
For transitive: Let (25, 3) ∈ S and (3, 2) ∈ S
25 ≤ (3)3 and 3 ≤ (2)3 25 ≤ 27 and 3 ≤ 8, true in both cases.
If transitive then (25, 2) ∈ S 25 ≤ (2)3 25 ≤ 8,false
Hence, not transitive.

17. Show that the function f : R R defined by f(x) = 2
, ∀ x ∈ R is neither one-one nor onto.
x 1
Ans: For one-one: For x1, x2 ∈ R
x1 x
f (x1) = f (x2) 2
 22
x1  1 x2  1
x1x2 + x1 = x12x2 + x2
2
x1x2 (x2 – x1) + (x1 – x2) = 0
(x2 – x1) (x1x2 – 1) = 0 x2 – x1 = 0 or x1x2 = 1
x1 = x2 or x1x2 = 1
1 1
Let x1 = 2 and x2 = , then we notice f (x1) = f (x2) but 2 ≠ . Hence, not one-one
2 2
Here we notice f (x) ≠ 1 for any x ∈ R
Therefore, 1 ∈ R from co-domain does not have pre-image in domain. So, not onto.

SECTION – D
Questions 18 carry 5 marks.
18. Let N denote the set of all natural numbers and R be the relation on N × N defined by
(a, b) R (c, d) if ad (b + c) = bc (a + d). Show that R is an equivalence relation.
Ans: Relation R on N × N is given by
(a, b) R(c, d) ad(b + c) = bc(a + d).
For reflexive:
For (a, b) ∈ N × N
(a, b) R(a, b) ab(b + a) = ba(a + b),
true in N
Hence, reflexive
For symmetric:
For (a, b), (c, d) ∈ N × N
(a, b) R(c, d) ad(b + c) = bc(a + d)
cb(d + a) = da(c + b) ( × and + is commutative in N)
(c, d) R(a, b) (a, b), (c, d) ∈ N × N.
Hence, symmetric
For transitive:
For (a, b), (c, d), (e, f) ∈ N × N
Let (a, b) R(c, d) and (c, d) R(e, f)
ad(b + c) = bc(a + d)
1 1 1 1

c b d a
and cf(d + e) = de(c + f)

e d f c

   
b e a f
af(e + b) = be(f + a)
af(b + e) = be(a + f)
(a, b) R(e, f)
As (a, b) R(c, d), (c, d) R(e, f)
(a, b) R(e, f) Hence, transitive.
As relation R is reflexive, symmetric and transitive. Hence, R is an equivalence relation.

 SECTION – E (Case Study Based Questions)
Questions 19 to 20 carry 4 marks each.
19. Sherlin and Danju are playing Ludo at home during Covid-19. While rolling the dice, Sherlin’s
sister Raji observed and noted that possible outcomes of the throw every time belongs to set {1,
2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. Let A be the set of players while B be the set of all possible outcomes.

A = {S, D}, B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

(i) Let R : B  B be defined by R = {(x, y) : y is divisible by x}. Show that relation R is reflexive
and transitive but not symmetric.
(ii) Let R be a relation on B defined by R = {(1, 2), (2, 2), (1, 3), (3, 4), (3, 1), (4, 3), (5, 5)}.
Then check whether R is an equivalence relation.
(iii) Raji wants to know the number of functions from A to B. How many number of functions
are possible?
OR
(iii) Raji wants to know the number of relations possible from A to B. How many numbers of
relations are possible?

Ans: (i) Since every number is divisible by itself, So

(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4), (5, 5), (6, 6)  R.
So, R is reflexive relation on B. Also (1, 2)  R but (2, 1) does not belong here non-symmetric.
(ii) R = {(1, 2), (2, 2), (1, 3), (3, 4), (3, 1), (4, 3), (5, 5),}
Since (1, 1)  R, so R is not reflexive.
Hence ‘R’ is not an equivalence relation.
(iii) As number of functions possible from set A to set B, if set A contains m elements and
set B contains n elements is given by nm.
Now, n(A) = 2 ; n(B) = 6
Number of possible functions = 62
OR
As, number of relations from a set with ‘m’ elements to a set with n elements is 2mn.
Now n(A) = 2 ; n(B) = 6
Required number of relations = 212

vote and voter turnout was about 67%, the highest ever

Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 5 -

 Let I be the set of all citizens of India who were eligible to exercise their voting right in general
election held in 2019. A relation ‘R’ is defined on I as follows:
R = {(V1,V2) : V1, V2 ∈ I and both use their voting right in general election – 2019}
(i) Two neighbours X and Y  I. X exercised his voting right while Y did not cast her vote in
general election-2019. Check whether X is related to Y or not.
(ii) Mr. ‘X’ and his wife ‘W’ both exercised their voting right in general election-2019. Show
that (X, W)  R and (W, X)  R.
(iii) Three friends F1, F2 and F3 exercised their voting right in general election-2019. Show that
(F1, F2)  R, (F2, F3)  R and (F1, F3)  R.
OR
Show that the relation R defined on set I is an equivalence relation.

Ans: R = {(V1, V2): V1, V2  I and both use their voting rights}
It is given that X exercised his voting right and Y didn’t cast her vote.
So, X is not related to Y, i.e. (X, Y)  R.
(ii) R = {(V1, V2) : V1, V2  I and both use their voting rights}
It is given that Mr X and his wife W both exercised their voting rights in election.
So, X is related to W and W is related to X, i.e.
(X, W)  R and (W, X)  R
(iii) Since all the three friends F1, F2 and F3 exercised their voting rights in election, so
(F1, F2)  R,
(F2, F3)  R and (F1, F3)  R.
OR
Let V be any person in I. Then V and V use their voting rights in election
Þ (V, V)  R
Thus (V, V)  R for all V  I.
So, R is reflexive relation on I.
Let V1 and V2 be two persons in A such that (V1, V2)  R.
Then, (V1, V2)  R ⇒ V1 and V2 both use their voting rights
⇒ V2 and V1 both use their voting rights.
⇒ (V2, V1) R
R is symmetric on I.
Let V1, V2, V3 be three person in I such that (V1, V2) R and (V2, V3) R.
Then (V1, V2) R ⇒ V1 and V2 both use their voting rights.
and (V2, V3)  R ⇒ V2 and V3 both use their voting rights.
So, V1 and V3 both use their voting rights.
⇒ (V1, V3)  R
So, R is transitive on I.
Hence, R is an equivalence relation.

of a busy market for awareness on COVID-19 protocol. Ram, Robert and Rahim are the three
engineers who are working on this project. “A” is considered to be a person viewing the
hoarding board 20 metres away from the building, standing at the edge of a pathway nearby.
Ram, Robert and Rahim suggested to the firm to place the hoarding board at three different
locations namely C, D and E. “C” is at the height of 10 metres from the ground level. For the
viewer A, the angle of elevation of “D” is double the angle of elevation of “C” The angle of
elevation of “E” is triple the angle of elevation of “C” for the same viewer. Look at the figure

5. A is a skew-symmetric matrix and a matrix B such that B’AB is defined, then B’AB is a:
(a) symmetric matrix (b) skew-symmetric matrix
(c) Diagonal matrix (d) upper triangular symmetric

Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 1 -

 Ans: (b) skew-symmetric matrix
A is a skew-symmetric matrix
⇒ A’ = -A
Consider (B’AB)’ = (AB)'(B’)’ = B’A'(B’)’
= B’A’B = B'(-A)B = -B’AB
As (B’AB) = -B’AB
Hence, B’AB is a skew-symmetric matrix.

 a  b 2a  c   1 5 
Ans: Given that   
 2a  b 3c  d   0 13
By definition of equality of matrix as the given matrices are equal, their corresponding elements
are equal. Comparing the corresponding elements, we get
a−b=−1 …(i)
2a − b = 0 …(ii)
2a + c = 5 …(iii)
and 3c + d = 13 …(iv)
Subtracting Eq.(i) from Eq.(ii), we get a = 1
Putting a = 1 in Eq. (i) and Eq. (iii), we get
1 − b = − 1 and 2 + c = 5
 b = 2 and c = 3
Substituting c = 3 in Eq. (iv), we obtain
3 × 3 + d = 13  d = 13 − 9 = 4
Hence, a = 1,b = 2, c = 3 and d = 4.

Questions 19 to 20 carry 4 marks each.
19. Case-Study 3:
Two schools A and B want to award their selected students on the values of Honesty, Hard work
and Punctuality. The school A wants to award ₹ x each, ₹ y each and ₹ z each for the three
respective values to its 3, 2 and 1 students respectively with a total award money of ₹ 2200.
School B wants to spend ₹ 3100 to award its 4, 1 and 3 students on the respective values (by
giving the same award money to the three values as school A). The total amount of award for
one prize on each value is ₹ 1200.

Using the concept of matrices and determinants, answer the following questions.
(i) What is the award money for Honesty? [1]
(ii) What is the award money for Punctuality? [1]

Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 6 -

 (iii) What is the award money for Hard work? [1]
(iv) If a matrix P is both symmetric and skew-symmetric, then find |P|. [1]
Ans: Three equations are formed from the given statements:
3x + 2y + z = 2200
4x + y + 3z = 3100
and x + y + z = 1200
Converting the system of equations in matrix form, we get

i.e. PX = Q

|P| = 3(1 – 3) –2(4 – 3) + 1(4 – 1) = –6 – 2 + 3 = –5 ≠ 0

⇒ X = P–1 Q, provided P–1 exists.

(i) ₹ 300 (ii) ₹ 500 (iii) ₹ 400

(iv) If a matrix P is both symmetric and skew symmetric matrix then it will be a zero matrix. So,
|P| = 0.

20. Manjit wants to donate a rectangular plot of land for a school in his village. When he was asked
to give dimensions of the plot, he told that if its length is decreased by 50 m and breadth is
increased by 50 m, then its area will remain same, but if length is decreased by 10 m and breadth
is decreased by 20 m, then its area will decrease by 5300 m2.

Based on the information given above, answer the following questions:

(a) Find the equations in terms of x and y (1)
(b) Find the value of x (length of rectangular field). (1)
(c) Find the value of y (breadth of rectangular field). (1)
(d) How much is the area of rectangular field? (1)
Ans: (a) Let Length of plot = x m
Breadth of plot = y m

Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 7 -

 Now, Area of plot = xy m2
Given that if its length is decreased by 50 m and breadth is increased by 50m, then its area will
remain same
(Length - 50) ⅹ (Breadth +50) = Area
(x – 50) x (y + 50) = xy
x (y + 50) – 50 (y + 50) = xy
xy + 50x – 50y – 2500 = xy
50x – 50y – 2500 = 0
50x – 50y = 2500
Dividing both sides by 50, we get
x - y = 50 ....(1)
Also, if length is decreased by 10m & breadth is decreased by 20m, then area will decrease by
5300 m2
(Length - 10) x (Breadth - 20) = Area - 5300
(x - 10) ×(y-20) = xy - 5300
x (y-20) 10 (y - 20) = xy - 5300
xy-20x10y + 200 = xy - 5300
-20x - 10y + 200 = -5300
-20x - 10y = -5300 - 200
-20x - 10y = -5500
20x+10y = 5500
Dividing both sides by 10, we get
2x + y = 550 ...(2)
Thus, our equation are x - y = 50 2x + y = 550
(b) Since our equations are x - y = 50 ...(1)
2x + y = 550 ...(2)
Adding (1) and (2)
(x - y) + (2x + y) = 50 + 550
⇒ 3x = 600
⇒ x = 600/2
⇒ x = 200 m
(c) Putting x = 200 in (1) , we get x – y = 50
⇒ 200 – y = 50
⇒ 200-50 = y
⇒ 150 = y
⇒ y = 150 m
(d) Area of rectangular field = Length x Breadth = 200 x 150 = 30,000 m2
= 30,000 sq. m

are added.
Ans: We have to find [P'(x)]x = 3
Now, P(x) = 0.005x3 + 0.02x2 + 30x
∴ P'(x) = 0.015x2 + 0.04x + 30

SECTION – E (Case Study Based Questions)

Questions 19 to 20 carry 4 marks each.
19. Case-Study 1: An owner of a car rental company have determined that if they charge customers
Rs x per day to rent a car, where 50 ≤ x ≤ 200, then number of cars (n), they rent per day can be
shown by linear function n(x) = 1000 – 5x. If they charge Rs. 50 per day or less they will rent all
their cars. If they charge Rs. 200 or more per day they will not rent any car.

Based on the above information, answer the following question.

Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 6 -

 (i) If R(x) denote the revenue, then find the value of x at which R(x) has maximum value.
(ii) Find the Maximum revenue collected by company
OR
Find the number of cars rented per day, if x = 75.
Ans: (i) Let x be the price charge per car per day and n be the number of cars rented per day.
R(x) = n × x = (1000 – 5x) x = –5x2 + 1000x
⇒ R′(x) = 1000 – 10x
For R(x) to be maximum or minimum, R′(x) = 0
⇒ –10x + 1000 = 0 ⇒ x = 100
Also, R″(x) = –10 < 0
Thus, R(x) is maximum at x = 100
(ii) At x = 100, R(x) is maximum.
Maximum revenue = R(100) = –5(100)2 + 1000(100) = Rs. 50,000
OR
If x = 75, number of cars rented per day is given by
n = 1000 – 5 × 75 = 625

20. Case-Study 2: Sonam wants to prepare a sweet box for Diwali at home. For making lower part
of box, she takes a square piece of cardboard of side 18 cm.
Now, x cm be the length of each side of the square cardboard which is to be cut off from corner
of the square piece of side 18 cm.

Based on the above information, answer the following questions :

(i) Express Volume of the open box formed by folding up the cutting corner in terms of x and
dV
find the value of x for which = 0.
dx
(ii) Sonam is interested in maximising the volume of the box. So, what should be the side of the
square to be cut off so that the volume of the box is maximum?
Ans: (i) height of open box = x cm
Length of open box = 18 – 2x
and width of open box = 18 – 2x
∴ Volume (V) of the open box = x × (18 – 2x) × (18 – 2x)
⇒ V = x(18 – 2x)2
dV
⇒ = x ⋅ 2(18 – 2x)(–2) + (18 – 2x)2
dx
= (18 – 2x)(–4x + 18 – 2x)
= (18 – 2x)(18 – 6x)
dV
Now, = 0 ⇒ 18 – 2x = 0 or 18 – 6x = 0
dx
⇒ x = 9 or 3

Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 7 -

 dV
(ii) We have, V = x(18 – 2x)2 and = (18 – 2x)(18 – 6x)
dx
d 2V
⇒ = (18 – 2x)(–6) + (18 – 6x)(–2)
dx 2
= (–2)[54 – 6x + 18 – 6x]
= (–2)[72 – 12x] = 24x – 144
d 2V
For x = 3, <0
dx 2
d 2V
and for x = 9, >0
dx 2
So, volume will be maximum when x = 3.

We know that two lines with direction ratios a1, b1, c1 and a2, b2, c2 are perpendicular if
a1a2 + b1b2 + c1c2 = 0.
∴ 2 × 3 + 5 × 2 + (– 4) × 4 = 6 +10 –16 = 0, which is true.

15. Find the points on the line   at a distance of 5 units from the point P(1, 3, 3).
3 2 2
x  2 y 1 z  3
Ans: Given, the equation of a line is:   = λ (say)
3 2 2
⇒ x = 3λ – 2, y = 2λ – 1, z = 2λ + 3
So, we have a point on the line is:
Q(3λ – 2, 2λ – 1, 2λ + 3) …….(i)
Now, given that distance between two points P(1, 3, 3) and Q(3λ – 2, 2λ – 1, 2λ + 3) is 5 units
i.e. PQ = 5
⇒ [(3  2  1) 2  (2  1  3)2  (2  3  3) 2 ]  5
On Squaring both sides, we get
(3λ – 3)2 + (2λ – 4)2 + (2λ)2 = 25
⇒ 9λ2 + 9 – 18λ + 4λ2 + 16 – 16λ + 4λ2 = 25
⇒ 17λ2 – 34λ = 0
⇒ 17λ (λ – 2) = 0
Either 17λ = 0 or λ – 2 = 0
∴ λ = 0 or 2
On putting λ = 0 and λ = 2 in equation (i),
we get the required point as (-2, -1, 3) or (4, 3, 7)

the points B(0, –1, 3) and C(2, –3, –1). Hence find the image of the point A in the line BC.
Ans: Let P be the foot of the perpendicular drawn from point A on the line joining points B and C.
Equation of the line joining the points B(0,–1,3) and C(2,–3,–1) is
x  x1 y  y1 z  z1

Let   
2 2 4
General coordinates of P is (2λ,−2λ−1,−4λ+3)
Direction ratios of AP(2λ+1,−2λ−9,−4λ−1)
∵ Both the lines AP and BC are perpendicular to each other.
∴ 2(2λ+1)−2(−2λ−9)−4(−4λ−1)=0
⇒ 24λ+24=0
⇒ λ=−1
∴ P(−2, 1, 7)
So, the coordinates of the foot of perpendicular drawn from the point A to BC is P(−2, 1, 7).

SECTION – E (Case Study Based Questions)

Questions 19 to 20 carry 4 marks each.
19. Case-Study 1: Read the following passage and answer the questions given below.
An electric circuit includes a device that gives energy to the charged particles constituting the
current, such as a battery or a generator; devices that use current, such as lamps, electric motors, or
computers; and the connecting wires or transmission lines.

An electric circuit consists of two subsystems say A and B as shown below:

For previous testing procedures, the following probabilities are assumed to be known.
P(A fails) = 0.2, P(B fails alone) = 0.15, P(A and B fail) = 0.15
Based on the above information answer the following questions:

Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 5 -

 (a) What is the probability that B fails? [1]
(b) What is the probability that A fails alone? [1]
(c) Find the probability that the whole of the electric system fails? [2]
OR
Find the conditional probability that B fails when A has already failed. [2]
Ans:
(a) Consider the following events
E = A fails, F = B fails 
Given P(E)  = 0.2, P ( E ∩ F) = 0.15, F(E ∩ F) = 0.15
Since, P( E ∩ F) = 0.15
⇒ P(F) – P(E ∩ F) = 0.15
⇒ P(F) = 0.15 + P(E ∩ F)
⇒ P(F) = 0.15 + 0.15
⇒ P(F) = 0.30
(b) P(E ∩ F ) = P(E) – P(E ∩ F)
= 0.2 – 0.15
= 0.05
(c) If the electric system fails, we mean that A is also failed and B is also failed.
i.e., we have to find P(E ∪ F), where E is an event when A fails and B is an event when B fails.
∴ P(E ∪ F) = P(E) + P(F) – P(E ∩ F)
= 0.2 + 0.3 – 0.15
= 0.5 – 0.15
= 0.35
OR
Let E = A fail, F = B fail 
∴ P(E) = 0.2, P(E ∩ F) = 0.15, P( F ∩ F) = 0.15

20. Case-Study 1: Read the following passage and answer the questions given below.
In a town, it’s rainy one-third of the day. Given that it is rainy, there will be heavy traffic with
probability 1/2. Given that it is not rainy, there will be heavy traffic with probability 1/4. If it’s rainy
and there is heavy traffic, I arrive late for work with probability 1/2. On the other hand, the
probability of being late is reduced to 1/8 if it, is not rainy and there is no heavy traffic. In other
situations (rainy and no heavy traffic, net rainy and heavy traffic), the probability of being late is 1/4.
You pick a random day.

Based on the above information, answer the following questions:

(i) What is the probability that it’s not raining and there is heavy traffic and I am not late?

Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 6 -

 (ii) What is the probability that I am late?
(iii) Given that I arrived late at work, what is the probability that it rained that day?
OR
(iii) If P(not A) = 0.7, P(B) = 0.7 and P(B/A) = 0.5, then find the P(A/B)
Ans: From the given passage we can form a tree as below:

(i) P(RCTLC) = 1/8

(ii) P(I am late) = Sum of probabilities corresponds to “I am late”
= P(RTL) + (RTCL) + (RCTL) + (RCTCL)
