1.

In an examination, Rama's score was one-twelfth of the sum of the scores of Mohan and Anjali. After a review, the score of each of them increased by 6. The revised scores of Anjali, Mohan, and Rama were in the ratio 11 : 10 : 3. Then Anjali's score exceeded Rama's score by1. 322. 353. 244. 26

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 32

Calculation:

Let the score of Rama, Mohan and Anjali be ‘x’, ‘y’ and ‘z’ respectively

According to the question,

⇒ x = 1/12 × (y + z)

⇒ 12x = y + z      ….(i)

Let the scores of Anjali, Mohan and Rama after increment of 6 be 11p, 10p and 3p

⇒ 11p = z + 6

⇒ z = 11p – 6

⇒ 10p = y + 6

⇒ y = 10p – 6

⇒ 3p = x + 6

⇒ x = 3p – 6

Put the value of x, y and z in equation (i)

⇒ 12(3p – 6) = 10p – 6 + 11p – 6

⇒ 36p – 72 = 21p – 12  

⇒ 36p – 21p = 72 – 12  

⇒ 15p = 60  

⇒ p = 4

So, difference between Anjali’s and Rama’s score

⇒ 11p – 3p = 8p

Put the value of ‘p’

⇒ Difference between Anjali’s and Rama’s score = 8 × 4 = 32

Anjali's score exceeded Rama's score by 32

An urn contains 4 white and 3 red balls. Let X bethe number of red balls in a random draw of three balls. Find the mean andvariance of X.

Answer» There are 4 cases here.
`Case 1:` When no red ball is drawn. All drawn balls are white.Then,
`P(X=0) = (C(4,3)**C(3,0))/(C(7,3)) = (4**1)/((7**6**5)/(3**2**1)) = 4/35`
`Case 2:` When one red ball is drawn. Other two drawn balls are white.Then,
`P(X=1) = (C(4,2)**C(3,1))/(C(7,3)) = (6**3)/35 = 18/35`
`Case 3:` When two red balls are drawn.Third ball is white.Then,
`P(X=2) = (C(4,1)**C(3,2))/(C(7,3)) = (4**3)/35 = 12/35`
`Case 4:` When no white ball is drawn. All drawn balls are red.Then,
`P(X=3) = (C(4,0)**C(3,3))/(C(7,3)) = (1**1)/35 = 1/35`
`:.` Mean, `E(X) = sum x_iP(x=x_i) = 0**4/35+1**18/35+2**12/35+3**1/35`
`=>E(X) = 18/35+24/35+3/35 = 45/35 = 9/7`
Now, Variance`(sigma^2) = E(X^2) - (E(X))^2`
`=>sigma^2 = sumx_i^2P(x=x_i) - (E(X))^2`
`=>sigma^2 = 0**4/35+1**18/35+4**12/35+9**1/35-(9/7)^2`
`=>sigma^2 = 0+18/35+48/35+9/35-81/49 = 75/35-81/49`
`=>sigma^2 = 15/7-81/49 = (105-81)/49 = 24/49`
So, Mean is `9/7` and variance is `24/49`.

If `A=[[1, 2],[ 4, 2]],` then find the value of `k` if `|2A|=k |A|`

Answer» `A = [[1,2],[4,2]]`
`2A = [[2,4],[8,4]]`

`|A| = 2-8 = -6`
`|2A| = 8-32 = -24`
We are given,
`|2A| = k|A|`
`:. -24 = k**(-6)`
`=> k = 4`

Prove that: `tan^(-1)[(sqrt(1+x)-sqrt(1-x))/(sqrt(1+x)+sqrt(1-x))]=pi/4-1/2cos^(-1)x , -1/(sqrt(2)) lt=x lt=1`

Answer» `L.H.S. = tan^-1[(sqrt(1+x)-sqrt(1-x))/(sqrt(1+x)+sqrt(1-x))]`
`=tan^-1[(sqrt(1+x)(1-sqrt(1-x)/sqrt(1+x)))/(sqrt(1+x)(1+sqrt(1-x)/sqrt(1+x)))]`
`=tan^-1[(1-sqrt(1-x)/sqrt(1+x))/(1+sqrt(1-x)/sqrt(1+x))]`
As, `tan^-1x-tan^-1y = (x-y)/(1+xy)`
So, our expression becomes,
`=tan^-1(1)+tan^-1(sqrt(1-x)/sqrt(1+x))`
`=pi/4+1/2(2tan^-1(sqrt(1-x)/sqrt(1+x)))`
Also, `2tan^-1y = cos^-1((1-y^2)/(1+y^2))`
So, our expression becomes,
`= pi/4+1/2cos^-1((1-(sqrt(1-x)/sqrt(1+x))^2)/(1+(sqrt(1-x)/sqrt(1+x))^2))`
`=pi/4+1/2cos^-1((1+x-1+x)/(1+x+1-x))`
`=pi/4+1/2cos^-1((2x)/2)`
`=pi/4+1/2cos^-1(x)=R.H.S.`

A pair of dice is thrown 4 times. If getting adoublet is considered a success, find the probability distribution of numberof successes.

Answer» Total outcomes=36
Probability of success=P=6/36=1/6
Probability of failure=Q=30/36=5/6
X=no. of times we get a doublet
`P(x=0)=4C_0(1/6)^0(5/6)^4=625/1296`
`P(x=1)=4C_1(1/6)^1(5/6)^3=500/1296`
`P(x=2)=4C_2(1/6)^2(5/6)^2=150/1296`
`P(x=3)=4C_3(1/6)^3(5/6)^1=20/1296`
`P(x=4)=4C_4(1/6)^4(5/6)^0=1/1296`

A pair of dice is thrown 4 times. If getting a doubletis considered a success, find the probability distribution of the number ofsuccesses and hence find its mean.

Answer» `P(S=0)=5/6*5/6*5/6`
`P(S=1)=3C_1*5/6*5/6*5/6`
`P(S=2)=3c_2*5/6*1/6*1/6`
`P(S=3)=1/6*1/6*1/6`
Mean=`sumP(6)S`
`=P(s=0)*0+P(s=1)*1+P(s=2)*8+P(s=3)*3`
`=0+(3*5*5)/(6*6*6)+(3*5*1*2)/(6*6*6)+(3*1)/(6*6*6)`
`(75+30+3)/(216)=108/216=1/2`

Aman and Mathu started a business with initial capital of Rs.30000 and Rs.40000 respectively. They decided that Aman being the working partner will get 10% of the profit over the top and then the rest will be divided in the capital ratio. If the difference between their profits at the end of the year is Rs.1000, what was the total profit?1. 340002. 430003. 350004. 530005. 36000

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 35000

Given:

Initial investment of Aman and mathu is 30000 and 40000 respectively.

Difference between their profits at the end of the year = 1000

Formula used:

Profit = total profit × (part share / total share)

Calculation:

Let us assume the total profit = 100x

Aman’s share for being the working partner = 100x × 10/100 = 10x

Rest (100x – 10x) = 90x will be divided in the ratio = 30000 : 40000 = 3 : 4

Aman’s total payout = [10x + (90x × 3/7)]

Mathu’s total payout = (90x × 4/7)

 ATQ,

(90x × 4/7) - [10x + (90x × 3/7)] = 1000

⇒ 90x × 1/7 – 10x = 1000

⇒ 20x/7 = 1000

⇒ 100x = (1000 × 7 × 100)/20 = 35000

∴ Total profit = Rs. 35000

Explain the concept of ‘fiscal deficit’ in a government budget. What does it indicate?

Answer»

The difference between total revenue and total expenditure of the government is termed as fiscal deficit. It is an indication of the total borrowings needed by the government. While calculating the total revenue, borrowings are not included. 

The gross fiscal deficit (GFD) is the excess of total expenditure including loans net of recovery over revenue receipts (including external grants) and non-debt capital receipts. The net fiscal deficit is the gross fiscal deficit less net lending of the Central government.   

Generally fiscal deficit takes place either due to revenue deficit or a major hike in capital expenditure. Capital expenditure is incurred to create long-term assets such as factories, buildings and other development.  

 A deficit is usually financed through borrowing from either the central bank of the country or raising money from capital markets by issuing different instruments like treasury bills and bonds.
