QUANTITATIVE TECHNIQUES – I

1. Given f(x) = x – 2, for 1 < x ≤ 2

= 2x – 1, for 2 < x < 4
= 25, for 4 ≤ x ≤ 5
i) Find f(2), f(4) and f(4.5)
ii) Find x, when f(x) = 5

2. a) If f(x) = ax + 6 and f(1) = 11, find a

b) If f(x) = ax2 +2x + c , f(0) = -3, f(-1) = -4 ,find a and c

3. If p log D = 24, find the total revenue function

4. If y is the quantity and x the price of a commodity, the demand and supply curves are
given by the linear equations 2x + y – 600 = 0 and 5x – y – 100 = 0 respectively. Find
the equilibrium price and the corresponding quantity.

5. A company sells x pens each day at Rs.25 per pen. The cost of manufacturing is Rs.15
per pen and the distributor charges are Rs.2 per pen. Besides the daily overhead
comes to Rs.840. Determine the profit function. What is the profit if 1000 pens are
manufactured and sold in a day? What is the break-even point?

6. A cottage industry of toys has 29 workers. The fixed cost turns out to be Rs.30 per
worker daily. The cost of producing a unit toy is Rs.2.07
i) If each toy is sold for Rs.6, find the no. of toys that should be produced and sold
to ensure no loss.
ii) If to promote sale, price is reduced by 50 paise per toy, what would be the break-
even point?
