Question 45:

India is one of the largest importers of crud oil. Oil companies produce crude oil in barrels. Suppose the maximum oil produced by company is 300 barrels and profit made from sale of these barrels is given by the function P(x) = –10x2 + 3500x – 66,000, where P(x) is profit in rupees and x is the number of barrels produced and sold.
Based on the above information answers the following questions:
(i) When no barrel is produced, then the profit or loss is

(a) Profit ₹22,000
(b) Profit ₹44,000
(c) Loss ₹66,000
(d) Loss ₹88,000
(ii) How many barrels should the company produce to achieve break even points?
(a) 10
(b) 20
(c) 30
(d) 40
(iii) On producing 100 barrels, the company
(a) earns profit of ₹185,000
(b) earns profit of ₹184,000
(c) is in loss of ₹185,000
(d) is in loss of ₹184,000
(iv) If the company produces 400 barrels, then it is in
(a) profit of ₹266,000
(b) loss of ₹266,000
(c) profit of ₹342,000
(d) loss of ₹342,000
(v) The graph of the profit function is
(a) a straight line
(b) a circle
(c) a parabola
(d) an ellipse

Answer:

(i) When no barrel is produced, x = 0

P(0) = −10(0)2 + 3500(0) − 66000

⇒ P(0) = − 66000

Thus, when no barrel is produced, the company will bear a loss of â‚¹66,000.

Hence, the correct answer is option (c).

(ii) The break-even point is the No-profit No-loss condition, i.e., at the break-even point, the company's profit is zero.

∵ P(x) = 0

⇒ −10x2 + 3500x − 66000 = 0

x2 − 350x + 6600 = 0

​⇒ x2 − 330− 20x + 6600 = 0

​⇒ x(x − 330) − 20(x − 330) = 0

⇒ (x − 20)(x − 330) = 0

⇒ x = 20, 330

The maximum oil produced by company is 300 barrels. So, x = 330 will be rejected.

Thus, the break-even point is x = 20

Hence, the correct answer is option (b).

(iii) On producing 100 barrels, the company, x = 100

P(100) = −10(100)2 + 3500(100) − 66000

⇒ P(100) = −100000 + 350000 − 66000

⇒ P(100) = 184000

Thus, on producing 100 barrels, the company earns profit of ₹184,000.

Hence, the correct answer is option (b).

(iv)  If company produces 400 barrels, then x = 400

P(400) = −10(400)2 + 3500(400) − 66000

⇒ P(400) = −1600000 + 1400000 − 66000

⇒ P(400) = −266000

Thus, on producing 400 barrels, the company earns loss of ₹266,000.

Hence, the correct answer is option (b).

(v) The profit function is a quadratic equation.

Thus, the graph of the profit function is a parabola.

Hence, the correct answer is option (c).

The land used to grow wheat i.e. wheatland is rectangular in shape while the riceland is in the shape of a square as shown in the following figure. The length of wheatland is 3 metre more than twice the length of riceland.
 
 RiceWheat 

Based on the above information answers the following questions:
(i) If the length of the riceland is x metre, then total length of the field (in metres) is

(a) 2x + 2
(b) 3x + 3
(c) 4x + 4
(d) 3x + 5
(ii) The perimeter of the field is
(a) 8x + 6
(b) 6x + 8
(c) 3x + 4
(d) 4x + 3
(iii) If the total area of the field is 1260 m2, then the value of x is
(a) 10
(b) 15
(c) 20
(d) 25
(iv) The area of the wheat land is
(a) 400 m2
(b) 760 m2
(c) 820 m2
(d) 860 m2
(v) The ratio of the areas of the wheat and rice land is
(a) 43 : 20
(b) 20 : 43
(c) 23 : 40
(d) 40 : 23

Answer:

(i) The length of the rice land is x metres.

The length of wheatland is 3 metres more than twice the length of riceland.

The length of the wheatland is 2x + 3.



Thus, the length of the field = x + 2x + 3 = (3x + 3) m

Hence. the correct answer is option (b).

(ii) The figure given below shows the measurements of each side of the field.



The perimeter of the field = 4x + 2(2x + 3) = (8x + 6) m

Hence, the correct answer is option (a).

(iii) The total area of the field = 1260 m2

⇒ x2x(2x + 3) = 1260

⇒ x2 + 2x2 + 3x = 1260

⇒ 3x2 + 3x​ − 1260 = 0

x2 + x​ − 420 = 0

⇒ x2 + 21x​ − 20x − 420 = 0

⇒ (x + 21)(x​ − 20) = 0

x = −21​, 20

As x is the length then it can not be negative.

Thus, x = 20

Hence, the correct answer is option (c)

(iv) The area of the wheatland = x(2x + 3)

= 2x2 + 3x

2(20)2 + 3(20)

= 860 m2

Hence, the correct answer is option (d).

(v) The area of riceland = x2 = 400

The ratio of the areas of the wheat and rice land = 860 : 400 = 43 : 20

Thus, the ratio of the areas of the wheat and rice land is 43 : 20.

Hence, the correct answer is option (a).

Question 47:

Each of the following questions contains STATEMENT-1 (Assertion) and STATEMENT-2 (Reason) and has following four choices (a), (b), (c) and (d), only one of which is the correct answer. Mark the correct choice.
(a) Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.
(b) Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1.
(c) Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is false.
(d) Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true.
Statement-1 (Assertion): If 2+3 is a root of a quadratic equation with rational coefficients, then its other root is 2-3.
Statement-2 (Reason): Surd roots of a quadratic equation with rational coefficients occur in conjugate pairs.

Answer:

If one root of the quadratic equation is irrational, then another root is always irrational when the coefficients are real and the other root is conjugate of the first root.
Thus, statement-2 is true.

 If 2+3 is a root of a quadratic equation with rational coefficients, then its other root is 2-3.
The roots of a quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 are given by -b±D2 , where D=b2-4ac and D0.
So, when b = −2 and D = 3 for a quadratic equation then its roots will be 2+3 and 2-3.
Thus, statement-1 is true.

Thus, Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.

Hence, the correct answer is option (a).

Question 48:

Each of the following questions contains STATEMENT-1 (Assertion) and STATEMENT-2 (Reason) and has following four choices (a), (b), (c) and (d), only one of which is the correct answer. Mark the correct choice.
(a) Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.
(b) Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1.
(c) Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is false.
(d) Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true.
Statement-1 (Assertion): If p, q, r and s are real numbers and pr = 2(q + s), then at least one of the equations x2 + px + q = 0 and x2 + rx + s = 0 has real roots.
Statement-2 (Reason): The sum of two real numbers is positive, then both the numbers are positive.

Answer:

The sum of two real numbers is positive, then both numbers need not be positive.
For example: (−3) + 8 = 5
Thus, statement-2 is false.

We have,
x2 + pxq = 0        .....(1)

​x2 + rx + s = 0         .....(2)

Let D1 and D2 be the discriminants of equations (1) and (2), then

D1p2 − 4q

D2r2 − 4s
 

∵ D1 + Dp2 − 4q + r2 − 4s

⇒​ D1 + Dp2 + r2 − 4(q + s)

⇒​ D1 + Dp2 + r2 − 2pr                     [∵ pr = 2(q + s)]

⇒​ D1 + D= (p − r)2 ≥ 0

At least one of D1 and D2 is greater than or equal to zero.

So, at least one of two equations has real roots.

Thus, Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is false.

Hence, the correct answer is option (c).

Question 49:

Each of the following questions contains STATEMENT-1 (Assertion) and STATEMENT-2 (Reason) and has following four choices (a), (b), (c) and (d), only one of which is the correct answer. Mark the correct choice.
(a) Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.
(b) Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1.
(c) Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is false.
(d) Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true.
Statement-1 (Assertion): If a + b + c = 0, then ax2 + bx + c = 0 has real roots.
Statement-2 (Reason): If one root of a quadratic equation is real, then the other root is also real.

Answer:

We have, ax2 + bx + c = 0

So, discriminant Db2 − 4ac

Given: a + b + c = 0

⇒ b = −(ac)

D = [−(a + c)]2 − 4ac

⇒ Da2c2 + 2ac − 4ac

⇒ D = a2 + c2 − ac

⇒ D = (a − c)2 ≥ 0

Thus, if a + b + c = 0, then ax2 + bx + c = 0 has real roots.
Thus, statement-1 is true.

It is also true that if one root of a quadratic equation is real, then the other root is also real.
​Thus, statement-2 is true.

Thus, Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1.

Hence, the correct answer is option (b).

Question 50:

Each of the following questions contains STATEMENT-1 (Assertion) and STATEMENT-2 (Reason) and has following four choices (a), (b), (c) and (d), only one of which is the correct answer. Mark the correct choice.
(a) Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.
(b) Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1.
(c) Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is false.
(d) Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true.
Statement-1 (Assertion): If ab + c = 0, then ax2 + bx + c = 0 has real roots.
Statement-2 (Reason): Roots of x2x + 1 = 0 are not real.

Answer:

We have, ax2 + bx + c = 0

So, discriminant D = b2 − 4ac

Given: a – b + c = 0

⇒ b = (a + c)

∴ D = (a + c)2 − 4ac

⇒ D = a2 + c2 + 2ac − 4ac

⇒ D = a2 + c2 − 2ac

⇒ D = (a − c)2 ≥ 0

Thus, if a – b + c = 0, then ax2 + bx + c = 0 has real roots.

So, Statement-1 is true.

We have, x2 – x + 1 = 0

So, discriminant D = (−1)2 − 4(1)(1)

⇒ D = 1 − 4 = −3 < 0

Thus, roots of x2 – x + 1 = 0 are not real.

So, Statement-2 is true.

Thus, Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1.

Hence, the correct answer is option (b).
