Q1) A coin is tossed 12
times. What is the Probability of getting exactly 8 tails? (Marks 2)
Ans1) When a coin is tossed, we have S = {H, T}
p = P (getting a tail) = 1/2
... q = 1 - p = 1/2
Here n = 12
Now the Probability Distribution
B(n, p) = B(12, 1/2)
i.e. (q + p)12 where q = p = 1/2
... P (X = 8) = 12C8 . q12 - 8 . p8
= 12C4 . q4 p8 = 12x11x10x9 x
(1/2)4 + 8

= 498 = 495

Q2) Three coins are tossed
simultaneously. List the sample space for the event. (Marks 2)
Ans2) Sample space S, of tossing 3 coins simultaneously is given by:-
S = {HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT}
Q3) Two cards are drawn
without replacement from a well shuffled pack of 52 cards. What is the
probability that one is red queen and the other is a king of black colour?
(Marks 2)
Ans3) We know that there are 2 red queens and two kings of black colour in a
pack of 52 cards.
P (drawing a red queen) = 2/52 = 1/26
Since the card is not replaced, after the firs card, we have 51 cards left.
... P (drawing a black king) = 2/51
But these two draws are interchangeable.
... The reqd. probability = 2 x 1/26 x 2/51 = 2/(13 x 51) = 2/663

Q6) Find the regression
coefficients bxy and byx given that :-
n = 7,
x = 24,
y
= 12,
x2 = 374,
y2 = 97 and
xy
= 157. (Marks 2)
Ans6) Given that n = 7,
x
= 24,
y = 12,
x2
= 374,
y2 = 97
and
xy = 157
now, bxy = (

Also, byx = (

Q7) Solve: (1 + x)(1 + y2)dx
+ (1 + y)(1 + x2)dy = 0. (Marks 2)
Ans7) The given D.E. is
(1 + x)(1 + y2)dx + (1 + y)(1 + x2)dy = 0
Separating the variables, we get:
1 + x dx + 1 + y dy = 0
1 + x2 1 + y2
on integration, we get,
| 1 + x dx + 1 + x2 |
1 + y dy = C 1 + y2 |
Now
| 1 + x dx = 1 + x2 |
1
dx + 1 + x2 |
x
dx 1 + x2 |
= tan-1 x + 1/2 log (1 + x2)
Similarly,
| 1 + y dy = tan-1
y + 1/2 log (1 + y2) 1 + y2 |
Substituting these in (2), we get
tan-1 x + 1/2 log (1 + x2) + tan-1 y + 1/2 log
(1 + y2) = c
=> tan-1 x + tan-1y + 1/2 log(1 + x2)(1 + y2)
= c
which is the reqd. solution of (1).

Q11) If
y = tan-1 x, Show that (1 + x2)d2y/dx2
+ 2x dy/dx = 0 (Marks 2)
Ans11) y = tan-1 x
Differentiating w.r.t. 'x', we get,
dy/dx = 1/(1 + x2)
=> (1 + x2)dy/dx = 1
Again Differentiating w.r.t 'x', we get,
(1 + x2)d2y/dx2 + 2x dy/dx = 0
Q12) Discuss
the applicability of Rolle's Theorem for the function f(x) = x2/3 on
(-1, 1). (Marks 2)
Ans12) Here, f(x) = x2/3 on (-1, 1)
f '(x) = 2/3 x-1/3 = 2 / 3x1/3 which doesn't exist at x =
0
where 0

... The conditions of Rolle's Theorem are not satisfied.
=> Rolle's Theorem is not applicable to the given function.
Q13) Evaluate:

Q17) Find the foot of the
perpendicular from (0, 2, 7) on the line (x + 2)/-1 = (y - 1)/3 = (z - 3)/-2
(Marks 4)
Ans17) Any point on the line (x + 2)/-1 = (y - 1)/3 = (z - 3)/-2 = K (say)
i.e. P(-K - 2, 3K + 1, -2K + 3)
Let it be the foot of | from Q(0, 2, 7) on (1)
Then d.r.s. of PQ are :-
-k - 2 - 0 , 3k + 1 - 2, -2k + 3 - 7
i.e. -(k + 2), 3k - 1, -(2k + 4)
As PQ is | to line (1),so
-(k + 2) x (-1) + (3k - 1) x 3 - (2k + 4) x (-2) = 0
=> k + 2 + 9k - 3 + 4k + 8 = 0
=> k = -1/2
... The foot of the | is given by:-
P(1/2 - 2, -3/2 + 1, 1 + 3) = (-3/2, -1/2, 4)

Solving (1) and (2)
6y + y2 = 16
y2 + 6y - 16 = 0

Q24) A particle moves
along the curve 6y = x3 + 2. Find the points on the curve at which
the y-coordinate is changing 8 times as fast as x-coordinate. (Marks 4)
Ans24) Given dy/dt = 8 dx/dt --- (i)
also the equation of curve is
6y = x3 + 2
differentiating w.r.t. 't' 6dy/dt = 3x2dx/dt --- (ii)
(ii)/(i) => 6 = 3x2/8
=> x2 = 16 => x = ±4
when x = +4:-
6y = 64 + 2 => y = 11
... one point is (4, 11)
putting x = -4
6y = -64 + 2 = -62
=> y = -62/6 = -31/3
... other point is (-4, -31/3)
... two points are:- (4, 11) and (-4, -31/3).
25) Find the derivative of
cos (3x + 2) w.r.t. x from the first principal. (Marks 4)
Ans25) Let y = cos (3x + 2) --- (1)
Let
x be a small increment
in the value of x and
y be
the corresponding increment in the value of y.
... y +
y = cos [3(x +
x)
+ 2] ---(2)
subtracting (2) from (1), we get
y = cos [3(x +
x)
+ 2] - cos (3x + 2)
= -2 sin [(3(x +
x) + 2 + 3x + 2)/2]
sin [(3 + (x +
x) + 2 - 3x - 2)/2]
= 2 sin [3x + 2 + (3/2)
x] sin [(3/2)
x]
Dividing both sides by
x, we
get:-
y/
x
= -2 sin(3x + 2 + (3/2)
x) sin (3/2
x)/
x
= -sin (3x + 2 + (3/2)
x). 3 sin (3/2
x)/[(3/2)
x]
Proceeding to limits as
x
0,
we get
dy/dx = -3 sin (3x + 2)

=> |A| = 1(1 - 4)

=> A-1 exist and it is given by:-
A-1 = 1/|A| (adj A) = 1/5 (adj A)
Now finding the various co-factors we get

2 2 2 -3 2 2 2 -3 |

2 2 2 -3 2 2 2 -3 |

or A2 - 4A - 5I = 03x3
Q30)
An open tank with a square base and vertical sides
is to be constructed from a metal sheet so as to
hold a given quantity of water. Show that the cost
of the material will be least when the depth of the
tank is half of its width. (Marks 6)
Ans30) Let 'a' be the side of the square base
and 'h' be the depth of the given open tank. By
hypothesis;
v = a2h (given) (i.e. v is a constant)
=> h = v/a2
Also surface area of the tank = a2 + 4ah
sq units
if Rs. P per square unit be the cost of the
material, then total cost is
c = (a2 + 4ah)P = (a2 + 4av/a2)P
= (a2 + 4v/a)P (where P is a constant)
Now c is a function of 'a' and we want to find the
least value of c. Differentiating c w.r.t x, we get
dc/da = P(2a - 4v/a2)
Now, dc/da = 0 => 2a = 4v/a2
=> a3 = 2v
Now, d2c/da2 = P(2 + 8v/a3)
= P(2 + 8(a3/2)/a3) (when a3
= 2v)
= 6P > 0 (... P >
0)
=> c is minimum
Since h = v/a2 = a3/2/a2
= a/2
depth of the tank is equal to half of its width.
