Engine displacement is the measure of the cylinder volume swept by all the pistons of a piston
engine. The piston moves inside the cylinder bore

The cylinder bore in the form of circular cylinder open at the top is be made from a metal sheet of
area 75π cm2.
Based on the above information, answer the following questions:

d
the light source). The combined light intensity is the sum of the two light intensities coming from
both lamp posts.

formula for the combined light intensity coming from both lamp posts as function of x
(ii) If I(x) denote the combined light intensity, then find the value of x for which I(x) is minimum.
OR
(ii) Find the darkest spot between the two lights

38. Case-Study 2:
Recent studies suggest that roughly 12% of the world population is left handed.

Depending upon the parents, the chances of having a left handed child are as follows:
A : When both father and mother are left handed:
Chances of left handed child is 24%.
B : When father is right handed and mother is left handed:
Chances of left handed child is 22%.
C : When father is left handed and mother is right handed:
Chances of left handed child is 17%.
D : When both father and mother are right handed:
Chances of left handed child is 9%.
Assuming that P(A) = P(B) = P(C) = P(D) = 1/4 and L denotes the event that child is left handed.
