36. Case-Study 1:

An organization conducted bike race under 2 different categories-boys and girls. In all, there
were 250 participants. Among all of them finally three from Category 1 and two from
Category 2 were selected for the final race. Ravi forms two sets B and G with these
participants for his college project.
Let B = { b1,,b2,b3} and G = {g1,g2} where B represents the set of boys selected and G the set
of girls who were selected for the final race.
Ravi decides to explore these sets for various types of relations and functions. On the basis of
the above information, answer the following questions:
(i) Ravi wishes to form all the relations possible from B to G . How many such relations
are possible
(ii) Write the smallest equivalence relation on G.
(iii) (a) Ravi defines a relation from B to B as R1 = {(b1,b2),(b2,b1)}. Write the minimum
ordered pairs to be added in R1 so that it becomes (A) reflexive but not symmetric,
(B) reflexive and symmetric but not transitive.
OR
(iii) (b) If the track of the final race (for the biker b1 ) follows the curve
; (where0 ≤ ≤ 20√2 & 0 ≤ ≤ 200), then state whether the track represents a
one-one and onto function or not. (Justify).
a. Case-Study 2: Read the following passage and answer the questions given below.
 A rectangular piece of length 45 cm by 24 cm is to be made into a box without top, by cutting
a square from each corner and folding up the flaps to form the box. If ‘ x ’ is the side of the
square to be cut off from each corner, then
(i) What should be the volume (V) of the box formed in the term of x only ?
(ii) Find
(iii) (a) What should be the side of the square(x) so that the volume of the box is maximum?
(iii) (b) What will be the maximum volume of the box?

37. Case-Study 3: Read the following passage and answer the questions given below.
A doctor is to visit a patient. From past experience, it is known that the probabilities that he
will come by cab, metro, bike or by other means of transport are respectively 0.3, 0.2, 0.1 and
0.4. The probabilities that he will be late are 0.25, 0.3, 0.35 and 0.1 if he comes by cab, metro,
bike and other means of transport respectively.

Based on the above information, answer the following questions.

(i) What is the probability that the doctor arrives late?

(ii) When the doctor arrives late, what is the probability that he comes by cab?
