Economic analysis of an iron ore deposit reveals that the net value of the ore is

134(ays2.2 (8)54.7 (58.0 (oy 622
Answer (8)
Solution.
Assuming the net value (Rs/tonne) and grade (9% Fe) relationship is linear then
fan equation of form y = a + bx relating to net value (y) to grade (x)
So,
3200 = a+ 6456
1800 = a + 60.2b
Solving both equations,
a= ~17800
b = 32858
Therefore, result is
=17800 4325.58.
But , at break even cutoff grade net value (Y)is zero, ie
v=0
17800 + 325.582

Answer (D)
Solution.
From normal distribution, we have
