25. Let initially liquids X and Y be 3x litres and 5x litres respectively in the vessel.
After drawing off 8 litres of mixture:
Quantity of liquid X left in the mixture = 3x - × 8 = (3x - 3 ) litres 3

Quantity of liquid Y left in the mixture = 5x - 5

8
× 8 = (5x - 5) litres
Further 8 litres of liquid X are mixed in the mixture.
So, quantity of liquid X in the mixture = (3x - 3 + 8) litres = (3x + 5) litres
7 3x+5
According to given, 10
=
5x−5
.

⇒ 35x - 35 = 30x + 50 ⇒ 5x = 85

percentage of the amount disintegrated in 10 years = A0

32. Given,
Objective function is: Z = 10x + 6y
Constraints are:
2x + 5y ≤ 34
3x + y ≤ 12
x, y ≥ 0
First convert the given inequations into corresponding equations and plot them:
2x + 5y ≤ 34 ⇒ 2x + 5y = 34 (corresponding equation)
Two coordinates required to plot the equation are obtained as:
Put, x = 0 ⇒ y = (0,
34

5
) ...first coordinate.
34

Join them to get the line.

As we know, Linear inequation will be a region in the plane, and we observe that the equation divides the XY plane into 2 halves
only, so we need to check which region represents the given inequation.
If the given line does not pass through the origin then just put (0, 0) to check whether inequation is satisfied or not. If it satisfies
the inequation origin side is the required region else the other side is the solution.
Similarly, we repeat the steps for other inequations also and find the common region.
3x + y ≤ 12 ⇒ 3x + y = 12 (corresponding equation)
Two coordinates required to plot the equation are obtained as:
Put, x = 0 ⇒ y = 12(0, 12) ...first coordinate.
Put, y = 0 ⇒ x = = 4(4, 0) ...second coordinate
12

x = 0 is the y-axis and y = 0 is the x-axis

Hence, we obtain a plot as shown in figure:

The shaded region in the above figure represents the region of a feasible solution.

Page 13 of 21
Now to maximize our objective function, we need to find the coordinates of the corner points of the shaded region.
We can determine the coordinates graphically our by solving equations. But choose only those equations to solve which gives one
of the corner coordinates of the feasible region.
Solving 3x + y = 12 and 2x + 5y = 34 gives (2, 6)
Similarly solve other combinations by observing graph to get other coordinates.
From figure we have obtained coordinates of corners as:
(0, 0), (4, 0), (0, ), (2, 6)34

Now we have coordinates of the corner points so we will put them one by one to our objective function and will find at which
point it is maximum.
∵ z = 10x + 6y

∴ Z at (2, 6) = 10 × (2) + 6 × (6) = 56

34 34 204
Z at (0, ) = 10 × (0) + 6 × ( ) =
5 5 5

Z at (4, 0) = 10 × (4) + 10 × 0 = 40
Z at (0, 0) = 0
We can see that Z is maximum at (2, 6) and max. value is 56
∴ Z is maximum at x = 2 and y = 16; and max. value is 56

OR
Let x and y be the number of items of A and B that should be produced each day to maximize the profit.
A number of items cannot be negative.
Therefore, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0
It is also given that the firm can produce at most 24 items in a day.
∴ x + y ≤ 24

Also, the time required to make an item of A is one hour, and the time required to make an item of B is half an hour.
Therefore, the time required to produce x items of A and y items of B is x + y hours However, the maximum time available in a

It is given that the profit on an item of A is ₹300 and on one item of B is ₹160. Therefore, the profit gained from x items of A and
y items of B is ₹300x and ₹160y respectively.
Total profit Z = 300x + 160y
The mathematical form of the given LPP is:
Maximize Z = 300x + 160y
subject to constraints:
x + y ≤ 24

Region represented by x + y ≤ 24:

The line x + y = 24 meets the coordinate axes at A1 (24, 0) and B1 (0, 24) respectively.
By joining these points we obtain the line x + y = 24. Clearly, (0, 0) satisfies the x + y = 24. So, the region which contains the
origin represents the solution set of the inequation x + y ≤ 24
The region represented by x + y ≤ 16: 1

The line x + 1

y = 16 meets the coordinate axes at C1 (16, 0) and D1 (0, 32) respectively. By joining these points we obtain the

y ≤ 16. Region represented by x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0:
Since every point in the first quadrant satisfies these inequations. So, the first quadrant is the region represented by the inequations
x ≥ 0, and y ≥ 0
The feasible region determined by the system of constraints x + y ≤ 24, x + y ≥ 16, x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0 are as follows.

The feasible region is shown in the figure:

Page 14 of 21
 In the above graph, the shaded region is the feasible region. The corner points are O(0, 0), C1 (16, 0), E1 (8, 16), and B1 (0, 24)
The values of the objective function Z at corner points of the feasible region are given in the following table:
Corner Points Z = 300x + 160y

O(0, 0) 0

C1(16, 0) 4800

E1(8, 16) 4960 → Maximum

B1(0, 24) 3840

Clearly, Z is maximum at x = 8 and y = 16 and the maximum value of Z at this point is 4960
Thus, 8 items of A and 16 items of B should be produced in order to maximize the profit and the maximum profit is ₹4960.
33. Volume of the 8% solution = 640 litres
Boric acid present in the 8% solution = 8% of 640 …(i)
And the rest 92% of 640 litres is water in the 8% solution.
Let volume of 2% solution added to 640 liters be x.
Boric acid present in 2% solution = 2% of x …(ii)
New volume of 8% solution = 640 + x …(iii)
Boric acid present in the new solution (that is, after adding x litres of 2% solution to 8% solution) = Boric acid present in the 8%

So, first let us take boric acid content in the resulting mixture to be more than 4%.

We have

Hence, the required liters of 2% solution to be added to 8% of the solution is between 320 liters and 1280 liters.

Let X denote the diameters of ball bearings. Then X is a normal variate with mean μ = 0.6140 inches and standard deviation σ =

i. When X = 0.610, we obtain: Z = 0.0025
= -1.6
0.618−0.6140
When X = 0.618, we obtain: Z = 0.0025
= 1.6
∴ P(0.610 ≤ X ≤ 0.618)

= 2P(0 ≤ Z ≤ 1.6)
= 2 × 0.4452

Page 16 of 21

Thus, the percentage of ball bearings with diameters between 0.610 and 0.618 inches is 0.8904 × 100 = 89.04
0.617−0.6140
ii. When X = 0.617, we obtain: Z = 0.0025

∴ P(X ≥ 0.617)
= P(Z > 1.2)
= P(Z ≥ 0) - P(0 ≤ Z ≤ 1.2)
= 0.5 - 0.3849 = 0.1151

Thus, the percentage of ball bearings with diameters greater than 0.617 inches is 0.1151 × 100 = 11.51
0.608−0.6140
iii. When X = 0.608, we obtain: Z = = -2.4.

∴ P (X < 0.608)
= P (Z < - 2.4)
= P (Z > 2.4)
= P (Z ≥ 0) - P ( 0 ≤ Z ≤ 2.4)
= 05 - 0.4918 = 0.0082

Thus, the percentage of ball bearings with diameters less than 0.608 inches = 0.0082 × 100 = 0.82
0.615−0.6140
iv. When X = 0.615, we obtain: Z = 0.0025

∴ P(X = 0.615)

= 0.1554

Thus, the percentage of ball bearings with diameter equal to 0.615 inches = 0.1554 × 100 = 1554
35. We are given that:
C = Original value = ₹50,000, S = Salvage value = ₹10,000, n = Useful life = 4 years
The annual depreciation D is given by
C−S 50,000−10,000
D= n
⇒ D = ₹( 4
) = ₹10,000
At the beginning of the first year, the book value of the machine is ₹50,000. At the end of the first year, the accumulated
depreciation is ₹10,000; hence the depreciation charge for the first year is ₹10,000. The book value at the end of the first year or in
the beginning of the second year is ₹(50,000 - 10,000) = ₹40,000
At the end of the second year, we have:
Accumulated depreciation = ₹20,000
∴ Depreciation charge = ₹(20,000 - 10,000) = ₹10,000
⇒ Book value at the end of the second year = ₹(40,000 - 10,000) = ₹30,000
At the end of third year, we have:
Accumulated depreciation = ₹30,000
∴ Depreciation charge = ₹(30,000 - 20,000) = ₹10,000

⇒ Book value at the end of the third year = ₹(30,000 - 10,000) = ₹20,000
At the end of fourth year, we have:
Accumulated depreciation = ₹40,000
∴ Depreciation charge = ₹(40,000 - 30,000) = ₹10,000

Page 17 of 21
 ⇒ Book value at the end of the third year = ₹(20,000 - 10,000) = ₹10,000
Clearly, this is the salvage value of the machine.
These values can be presented in the following tabular form which is known as the depreciation schedule of the machine:
Depreciation Schedule

Year Book value (Beginning of year) Depreciation Book value (End of year)

1 ₹50,000 ₹10,000 ₹40,000

2 ₹40,000 ₹10,000 ₹30,000

3 ₹30,000 ₹10,000 ₹20,000

4 ₹20,000 ₹10,000 ₹10,000

We find that
Annual depreciation amount = ₹10,000
Cost of the machine - Salvage value of machine = ₹(50,000 - 10,000) = ₹40,000
10,000
∴ Depreciation rate percent = ( 40,000
× 100) = 25%

In the year 2010, Mr. Aggarwal took a home loan of ₹ 30,00,000 from State Bank of India at 7.5% p.a. compounded monthly for
20 years.
Based on the above information, answer the following questions:

Page 18 of 21
 (i) Given P = ₹ 30,00,000, i = 7.5

and n = 12 × 20 = 240 months
EMI = = Pi

₹ 24167.82
(ii) Given P = ₹ 30,00,000, i = 7.5

1200
= 0.00625
and n = 12 × 20 = 240 months
Interest paid on 150th instalment

EMI×[(1+i) −1]

=
240−150+1
(1+i)

24167×[1.7629−1]
=
1.7629

= ₹ 10458.70
Principal paid in 150th instalment = EMI - interest
⇒

= ₹ (24167.82 - 10458.70)
(iii)Total Interest paid = n × EMI - P
= ₹ (240 × 24167.82 - 30,00,000)
= ₹ 28,00,276.80
OR
Total amount paid = n × EMI
= 240 × 2416.81
= ₹ 5800276.8
38. Let x, y and z ₹ be the investments at the rates of interest of 6%, 7% and 8% per annum respectively. Then,
Total investment = ₹5000
⇒ x + y + z = 5000

Now, Income from first investment of ₹ x = ₹ 6x

100
7y
Income from second investment of ₹ y = ₹ 100
8z
Income from third investment of ₹ z = ₹ 100

6x 7y 8z
∴ Total annual income = ₹( 100
+
100
+
100
)

7y
⇒
6x

100
+
100
+
8z

100
= 358 [∵ Total annual income = ₹358]
It is given that the combined income from the first two investments is ₹70 more than the income from the third
7y
∴
6x

100
+
100
= 70 + 8z

100
⇒ 6x + 7y - 8z = 7000
Thus, we obtain the following system of simultaneous linear equations:
x + y + z = 5000
6x + 7y + 8z = 35800
6x + 7y - 8z = 7000
This system of equations can be written in matrix form as follows:
1 1 1 x 5000
⎡ ⎤⎡ ⎤ ⎡ ⎤

⎢6 7 8 ⎥ ⎢ y ⎥ = ⎢ 35800 ⎥

⎣ ⎦⎣ ⎦ ⎣ ⎦
6 7 −8 z 7000

1 1 1 x 5000
⎡ ⎤ ⎡ ⎤ ⎡ ⎤

or, AX = B, where A = ⎢ 6 7 8 ⎥, X = ⎢ y ⎥ and B = ⎢ 35800 ⎥

⎣ ⎦ ⎣ ⎦ ⎣ ⎦
6 7 −8 z 7000

∣1 1 1∣
∣ ∣
Now, |A| = 6 7 8 = 1 (-56 - 56) - (-48 - 48) + (42 - 42) = -16 ≠ 0
∣ ∣
∣6 7 −8 ∣

So, A-1 exists and the solution of the given system of equations is given by X = A-1 B
Let Cij be the cofactor of aij in A = [aij]. Then,
C11 = -112, C12 = 96, C13 = 0, C21 = 15, C22 = -14,
C23 = -1, C31 = 1, C32 = -2 and C33 = 1

So, A-1 = 1

Hence, the solution is given by

Hence, three investments are of ₹1000, ₹2200 and ₹1800 respectively.
