A tent is in the form of cone and cylinder with common base. The total height of the solid is 21 feet, height of the cone is 6 feet and slant height of the cone is 10 feet.

a) Find the area of the base.
For the cone, slant height ft and height ft. The base radius ft.
Area of the base (circle) sq. ft.
A tent is in the form of cone and cylinder with common base. The total height of the solid is 21 feet, height of the cone is 6 feet and slant height of the cone is 10 feet.
b) Find the total canvas required for the tent.
Base radius ft (from part a). Total height ft, cone height ft, so cylinder height ft. Slant height of cone ft.
Canvas required = curved surface of cone + curved surface of cylinder (the base is the ground, not covered):
CSA of cone sq. ft.
CSA of cylinder sq. ft.
Total canvas sq. ft.
A machine depreciates at the rate of 10% in first 2 years and then 15% in next 3 years. The original price of the machine is Rs. 80,000. Find the price of the machine at the end of five years and compare its original price and final price.
Original price .
After first 2 years at 10% depreciation: .
After next 3 years at 15% depreciation: (approx).
So the price at the end of 5 years Rs. 39795.30.
Comparison: Total depreciation , i.e. the final price is about of the original price (machine has lost roughly half its value).
Ram can do of a work in 6 days and Geeta can do of the same work in 5 days.
a) Find the efficiency of Ram and Geeta. [2]
b) Divide Rs. 18000 among Ram and Geeta if they work together to finish the work from beginning. [3]
(a) Efficiency:
Ram does of the work in 6 days, so the whole work takes Ram days. Ram's one-day work .
Geeta does of the work in 5 days, so the whole work takes Geeta days. Geeta's one-day work .
Ratio of efficiencies (Ram : Geeta) .
(b) Division of Rs. 18000:
Wages are divided in the ratio of efficiency (work done) . Total parts .
Ram's share .
Geeta's share .

b) Find the number of combinations if 75% of them are male and 25% are female. [3]
(a) Equal number of male and female: committee of 8 with 4 male and 4 female.
Number of ways .
(, .)
(b) 75% male and 25% female: of 8 people, 75% = 6 male and 25% = 2 female.

Make an objective function, and related constraints for maximum profit. Represent it graphically.
The question asks the student to frame a linear programming problem (objective function + constraints) for maximum profit and to solve it graphically. As stated, no specific data (resources, profit per unit) is printed, so a representative LPP is set up.
Example formulation: Let a firm produce units of product I and units of product II with profits Rs. 30 and Rs. 20 per unit.
Objective function: Maximize .
Subject to constraints (resource/time limits), e.g.:
Graphical method: plot the lines and , shade the feasible region (intersection of half-planes with ), find the corner points (e.g. , , , ), evaluate at each corner, and the maximum value of gives the optimal solution.
There are 2 red balls and 8 white balls of same size and shape in box A. There are 6 red and 6 white balls of same size and shape in box B. It two red and 3 white coloured balls are selected from either of the box, find all possible cases and their probabilities.
We select 5 balls (2 red and 3 white) from one of the boxes.
Box A (2 red, 8 white, total 10): number of ways to choose 5 from 10 . Ways to get exactly 2 red and 3 white .
Box B (6 red, 6 white, total 12): number of ways to choose 5 from 12 . Ways to get exactly 2 red and 3 white .
Thus the two possible cases (drawing from box A or from box B) have probabilities and respectively.

A bag contain 20 bulbs in which 8 are defective. A bulb is selected at random, what is the probability that more than 6 bulbs are defective?
The bag has 20 bulbs, of which 8 are defective. The number of defective bulbs in the bag is fixed at 8, not more than 6 — however, as stated the question is ambiguous (likely intends drawing a sample of bulbs and finding the probability that more than 6 are defective).
Interpreting it as a single draw, the probability of selecting a defective bulb is
If instead the intended question is the probability that a selected single bulb is defective, the answer is . The phrase 'more than 6 bulbs are defective' is unclear for a single selection, so this part needs review against the intended wording.
