22. Find the value of a, b, c and d from the equation:   
 2a  b 3c  d   0 13
 a  b 2a  c   1 5 
Ans: Given that   
 2a  b 3c  d   0 13
By definition of equality of matrix as the given matrices are equal, their corresponding elements
are equal. Comparing the corresponding elements, we get
a−b=−1 …(i)
2a − b = 0 …(ii)
2a + c = 5 …(iii)
and 3c + d = 13 …(iv)
Subtracting Eq.(i) from Eq.(ii), we get a = 1
Putting a = 1 in Eq. (i) and Eq. (iii), we get
1 − b = − 1 and 2 + c = 5
 b = 2 and c = 3
Substituting c = 3 in Eq. (iv), we obtain
3 × 3 + d = 13  d = 13 − 9 = 4
Hence, a = 1,b = 2, c = 3 and d = 4.

 We draw the graph of 2x + 3y = 6
2 × 0 + 3 × 0 ≤ 6 ⇒ (0,0) satisfy the constraints.
Hence, feasible region lie towards origin side of line.
For graph of 3x – 2y ≤ 6
We draw the graph of line 3x – 2y = 6.
3 × 0 – 2 × 0 ≤ 6 ⇒ Origin (0, 0) satisfy 3x – 2y = 6.
Hence, feasible region lie towards origin side of line.

For graph of y ≤ 1
We draw the graph of line y = 1, which is parallel to x-axis and meet y-axis at 1.
0 ≤ 1 ⇒ feasible region lie towards origin side of y = 1.
Also, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0 says feasible region is in Ist quadrant.
Therefore, OABCDO is the required feasible region, having corner point O(0, 0), A(0, 1)
Here, feasible region is bounded. Now the value of objective function Z = 8x + 9y is obtained as.
Corner Points Z = 8x + 9y

SECTION – E(Case Study Based Questions)

Questions 36 to 38 carry 4 marks each.

37. Case-Study 1: Read the following passage and answer the questions given below.
An architect designs a building for a multinational company. The floor consists of a rectangular
region with semicircular ends having a perimeter of 200 m as shown here:

Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 13-

 (i) If x and y represents the length and breadth of the rectangular region, then find the relation
between the variable.
(ii) Find the area of the rectangular region A expressed as a function of x.
(iii) Find the maximum value of area A.
OR
The CEO of the multi-national company is interested in maximizing the area of the whole floor
including the semi-circular ends. Find the value of x for this to happen.
Ans:

OR

38. Case-Study 2: Read the following passage and answer the questions given below.
To promote the usage of house toilets in villages, especially for women, are organisations tried to
generate awareness among the villagers through (i) house calls (ii) letters, and (iii)
announcements.

Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 14-

 The cost for each mode per attempt is given below.
(i) ₹ 50 (ii) ₹ 20 (iii) ₹ 40
The number of attempts made in villages X, Y, and Z is given below:
(i ) (ii ) (iii )
X 400 300 100
Y 300 250 75
Z 500 400 150
Also, the chance of making toilets corresponding to one attempt of given modes is:
(i) 2% (ii) 4% (iii) 20%
Let A, B, and C be the cost incurred by organisation in three villages respectively.
Based on the above information answer the following questions:
(i) Form a required matrix on the basis of the given information. [1]
(ii) From a matrix, related to the number of toilets expected in villagers X, Y, and Z after the
promotion campaign. [1]
(iii) What is the total amount spent by the organisation in all three villages X, Y, and Z? [2]
OR
(iii) What is the total no.of toilets expected after the promotion campaign? [2]
Solution:
(i) Here, ₹A, ₹B, and ₹C are the cost incurred by the organisation for villages X, Y, and Z
respectively then, A and B will be given by the following matrix equation

Total money spended = 30000 + 23000 + 39000
= 92000
OR
(iii) By part (ii),the required matrix for the expected number of toilets is

∴ Total number of toilets expected in 3 villages
= 40 + 31 + 56 = 127

39. Case-Study 3: Read the following passage and answer the questions given below.
Final exams are approaching, so Mr. Kumar decided to check the preparation of the few weak
students in the class. He chooses four students A, B, C and D then a problem in mathematics is
given to those four students A, B, C, D. Their chances of solving the problem, respectively, are
1 1 1 2
, , and .
3 4 5 3

Based on the given information answer the following questions. What is the probability that:
(i) the problem will be solved?
(ii) at most one of them solve the problem?
Ans: Let E be the event = A solves the problem,
F be the event = B solves the problem,
G be the event = C solves the problem,
H be the event = D solves the problem,
