Find the local minimum and local maximum of y = 2x3 – 3x2 – 36x + 10 |
|
Answer» y = 2x3 – 3x2 – 36x + 10 \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = 6x2 – 6x – 36 = 6(x2 – x – 6) \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = 0 gives 6(x2 – x – 6) = 0 6(x – 3) (x + 2) = 0 x = 3 (or) x = -2 \(\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}\) = 6(2x – 1) Case (i): when x = 3, \((\frac{d^2y}{dx^2})_{x=3}\) = 6(2 x 3 – 1) = 6 x 5 = 30, positive Since \(\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}\) is positive y is minimum when x = 3. The local minimum value is obtained by substituting x = 3 in y. Local minimum value = 2(33) – 3(32) – 36(3) + 10 = 2(27) – (27) – 108 + 10 = 27 – 98 = -71 Case (ii): when x = -2, \((\frac{d^2y}{dx^2})_{x=-2}\) = 6(-2 x 2 – 1) = 6 x -5 = -30, negative Since \(\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}\) is negative, y is maximum when x = -2. Local maximum value = 2(-2)3 – 3(-2)2 – 36(-2) + 10 = 2(-8) – 3(4) + 72 + 10 = -16 – 12 + 82 = -28 + 82 = 54 |

A chord of a circle of radius 14 cm makes a right angle at the centre. Find the areas of the minor and major segments of the circle. |
|
Answer» Radius of the circle = 14 cm Angle subtend at center = 90° By Pythagoras theorem = AB2 = OA2 + OB2 = 142 +142 AB = \(14\sqrt{2}\) Area of sector OAB = \(\frac{90}{360}\timesπr^2\) = \(\frac{1}{4}πr^2\) = \(\frac{1}{4}\times\frac{22}7\times14\times14\) = 154 cm2 Area of triangle AOB = \(\frac{1}2\times14\times14\) = 98 cm2 So area of minor segment – OACB =area of sector – area of triangle = 154 – 98 = 56 cm2 Area of major segment = area of circle - area of minor segment = \(\frac{22}7\times14\times14\) - 56 = 44 ×14 – 56 = 560 cm2 |

I have a total of 300 coins of denomination Rs1, Rs2and Rs5.The number of 2coins is 3 times the number of Rs5coins. The total number of coins is 160. How many coins of each denomination are with me? |
|
Answer» Solution: Given, total value of Rs = Rs 300 Let the number of coins of Rs 5 = m Therefore, After transposing 160 to LHS, we get After dividing both sides by 7, we get 140/7 = 7m/7 => 140/7 = m => m = 20 Thus, number of coins of Rs 5 = 20 Thus, by substituting the value of m, we get |

The organizers of an essay competition decide that a winner in the competition gets a prize of Rs 100 and a participant who does not win gets a prize of Rs 25. The total prize money distributed is Rs 3000. Find the number of winners, if the total number of participants is 63. |
|
Answer» Let the number of winners be x. Therefore, the number of participants who did not win will be 63 − x. Amount given to the winners = Rs (100 × x) = Rs 100x Amount given to the participants who did not win = Rs [25(63 − x)] = Rs (1575 − 25x) According to the given question, 100x + 1575 − 25x = 3000 On transposing 1575 to R.H.S, we obtain 75x = 3000 − 1575 75x = 1425 On dividing both sides by 75, we obtain 75x/75 = 1425/75 x = 19 Hence, number of winners = 19 |

A sector of 56°, cut out from a circle, contains 17.6 cm2. Find the radius of the circle. |
|
Answer» Area of the sector = 17.6 cm2 (given) We know, Area of the sector = θ/360 (πr2) square units This implies, θ/360 (πr2) = 17.6 56/360 x 22/7 x r2 = 17.6 r2 = 36 or r = 6 Radius of the circle is 6 cm. |

The circumference of a circle is 8 cm. Find the area of the sector whose central angle is 72°. |
|
Answer» Circumference of a circle = 8 cm Central angle = 72° Now, Circumference of a circle = 2πr 8 = 2πr r = 14/11 cm Area of sector = θ/360 x (πr2) = 72/360 x 22/7 x 14/11 x 14/11 = 1.02 cm2 |

I have a total of Rs 300 in coins of denomination Re 1, Rs 2 and Rs 5. The number of Rs 2 coins is 3 times the number of Rs 5 coins. The total number of coins is 160. How many coins of each denomination are with me? |
|
Answer» Let the number of Rs 5 coins be x. Number of Rs 2 coins = 3 × Number of Rs 5 coins = 3x Number of Re 1 coins = 160 − (Number of coins of Rs 5 and of Rs 2) = 160 − (3x + x) = 160 − 4x Amount of Re 1 coins = Rs [1 × (160 − 4x)] = Rs (160 − 4x) Amount of Rs 2 coins = Rs (2 × 3x)= Rs 6x Amount of Rs 5 coins = Rs (5 × x) = Rs 5x It is given that the total amount is Rs 300. ∴ 160 − 4x + 6x + 5x = 300 160 + 7x = 300 On transposing 160 to R.H.S, we obtain 7x = 300 - 160 7x = 140 On dividing both sides by 7, we obtain 7x/7 = 140/7 x = 20 Number of Re 1 coins = 160 − 4x = 160 − 4 × 20 = 160 − 80 = 80 Number of Rs 2 coins = 3x = 3 × 20 = 60 Number of Rs 5 coins = x = 20 |

A chord of a circle of radius 30 cm makes an angle of 60° at the centre of the circle. Find the areas of the minor major segments. [take pi = 3.14 and √3 = 1.73] |
|
Answer» Radius of circle = r = 30 cm Area of minor segment = Area of sector – Area of triangle …(1) Area of major segment = Area of circle – Area of minor segment …(2) Area of sector = θ/360 x πr2 = 60/360 x 3.14 x 30 x 30 = 471 cm2 Area of triangle = √3/4 (side)2 (Since it form a equilateral triangle) = √3/4 x 30 x 30 = 389.7 cm2 (1) ⇨ Area of minor segment = 471 – 389.7 = 81.3 cm2 (2) ⇨ Area of major segment = π(302) – 81.3 = 2744.7 cm2 Answer: Area of major segment is 2744.7 cm2 and of minor segment is 81.3 cm2. |
