What is the total money (in Rs) collected by school DPS

?
A 700
B 7000
C 6125
D 7875
Solution:
Total money collected by the school DPS
∴ Total amount of money collected by school DPS is

₹7000
What is the total money (in Rs) collected by school CVC

and KVS ?
A 14000
B 15725
C 21000
D 13125
Solution:
Total money collected by the school CVC
Total money collected by the school KVS
∴ Total amount of money collected by schools
CVC and KVS
= 6125 + 7875 = ₹14000

How many articles (in total) are sold by three schools ?
A 230
B 130
C 430
D 330
Solution:
Total number of articles sold by three schools
= (40 + 50 + 20) + (25 + 40 + 30) + (35 + 50 + 40)
= 330
If the number of handmade fans and plates are

interchanged for all the schools, then what is the total
amount of money collected by the three schools ?
A 18000
B 21000
C 20150
D 21250
Solution:
If the numbers of handmade fans and plates are

interchanged
School/Article DPS CVC KVS

Handmade Fans 20 30 40
Mats 50 40 50
Plates 40 25 35
Now, total money collected by the school DPS
Hence, total money collected by the school DPS is ₹7500.

Solution:
Total money collected by the school CVC
Hence, total money collected by the school CVC is ₹6000.
Total money collected by the school KVS
Hence, total money collected by the school KVS is ₹7750.
∴ Total money collected by all schools = 7500 + 6000 +

7750 = ₹21250

The Government declare that farmers can get 300 Rs per
quintal for their onions on 1st July and after that, the price
will be dropped by 3 Rs per quintal per extra day.
Shyam’s father has 80 quintal of onions in the field on 1 st
July and he estimates that crop is increasing at the rate of
1 quintal per day.
Based on the above information, answer the
following questions.
(i) If x is the number of days after 1st July, then price and
quantity of onion respectively can be expressed as
A (300 - 3x), (80 + x)
B (300 - 3x), (80 - x)
C (300 + x), 80
D None of these
Solution:
Let x be the number of extra days after 1st July.
∴ Price = Rs(300 - 3 × x) = Rs.(300 - 3x)
Quantity = 80 quintals + x(1 quintal per day) = (80 + x)
(ii) Revenue R as a function of x can be represented as
D
Solution:
∴ Price = Rs(300 - 3 × x) = Rs.(300 - 3x)
R(x) = Quantity × Price
(iii) Find the number of days after 1st July, when Shyam’s
father attain maximum revenue
A 10
B 20
C 12
D 22
Solution:
∴ Price = Rs(300 - 3 × x) = Rs.(300 - 3x)
For R(x) to be maximum, R’(x) = 0 and R”(x) < 0

(iv) Maximum revenue (in Rs) is equal to
A 20,000
B 24,000
C 24,300
D 24,700
Solution:
∴ Price = Rs(300 - 3 × x) = Rs.(300 - 3x)
For R(x) to be maximum, R’(x) = 0 and R”(x) < 0
∴ Maximum revenue = R(10)

∵ g(x) is a trigonometric function i.e., it is continuous ∀

R.
And h(x) is a polynomial function i.e., it is also continuous

∀ R.
i.e. g(h(x)) = (goh)(x) is also continuous ∀ R.

A manufacturer has three machine operators A, B

and C. The first operator A produces 1% defective
items, where as the other two operators B and C
produce 5% and 7% defective items respectively. A
is on the job for 50% of the time, B is on the job for
30% of the times and C is on the job for 20% of the
times. A defective item is produced, what is the
probability that it was produced by A?
Solution:
Let E1, E2, E3 and A be the events defined as follows:
E1 = the item is manufactured by the operator A
E2 = the item is manufactured by the operator B
E3 = the item is manufactured by the operator C
And A = the item is defective
Solution:
P(A | E1) = Probability that the item drawn is manufactured by

operator
Similarly
Now required probability = probability that the item is manufactured

by operator A given that the item drawn is defective = P(E1 | A)

Solution:
Solution:
CBSE 2018
Solution:
Reflexive : |a - a| = 0, which is divisible by 4, ∀ a ∈ A
∴ (a, a) ∈ R, ∀ a ∈ A ∴ R is reflexive
Symmetric: let (a, b) ∈ R
⇒ |a - b| is divisible by 4
⇒ |b - a| is divisible by 4 (∵ |a - b| = |b - a|)
⇒ (b, a) ∈ R ∴ R is symmetric.
Transitive: Let (a, b), (b, c) ∈ R
⇒ |a - b| & |b - c| are divisible by 4
⇒ a - b = ± 4m, b - c = ±4n, m, n ∈ Z
Adding we get, a - c = 4(±m ±n)
⇒ (a - c) is divisible by 4
⇒ |a - c| is divisible by 4 ∴ (a, c) ∈ R
