1.

Solve (dy/dx) + y cot x = 2 cos x 

Answer»

∵ (dy/dx) + y cot x = 2 cos x

Here (dy/dx) + Py = ϕ is integral equation of linear

∴ P = cot x and ϕ = 2 cos x

I.F = e∫Pdx = e∫cot x dx

= elog(sin x) = sin x 

Now solution of differential equation is

y x I.F. = ∫ϕ x I.F dx + c

y sin x = ∫2 cos x . sin x + c

y sin x = ∫sin 2x + c

y sin x = - (cos 2x/2) + c

2.

Find the equation of the plane through (1,2,3) and parallel to the plane 3x + 4y - 5z = 0. 

Answer»

Because plane passing through (1,2,3)

∴ x = 1, y = 2, z = 3

3x + 4y - 5z = 0

Again plane is parallel to the equation

∴ a = 3, b = 4 , c = -5

∴ required plane equation

a(x - x') + b(y - y') + c(z - z') = 0

3(x - 1) + 4(y - 2) - 5(z - 3) = 0

3x - 3 + 4y - 8 - 5z + 15 = 0 

3x + 4y - 5z + 4 = 0

3.

Find the distance of the point (a, b, c) from the origin.

Answer»

We know that co-ordinate of origin is (0, 0, 0)

Given points -(a, b, c) 

Now Distance formula

√((a - 0)2 + (b - 0)2 + (c - 0)2)

= √(a2 + b2 + c2)

A speaks the truth in 75% cases and B in 80% of the cases. In what percentage of the cases are they to contradict each other in stating the same fact ?

Answer»

For A, P(A) = 75/100 = 3/4

P(A') = 1 - (3/4) = 1/4

For B, P(B) = 80/100 = 4/5

P(B') = 1 - (4/5) = 1/5

P(A ∩ B') + P(A' ∩ B) = P(A) x P(B') + P(A') x P(B)

= (3/4) x (1/5) + (1/4) x (4/5)

= (3/20) + (4/20)

= (7/20) x 100 

= 35%

मनुष्य का सुख किस में समाहित है

Answer»

मनुष्य का जीवन मुख्य रूप से दो मनोभावों पर आधारित होता है- दुख और सुख। शेष सभी मनोभाव इन्हीं दोनों मूल भावों के अंतर्गत समाहित होते हैं या कहा जा सकता है कि इन्हीं के विविध रूप होते हैं। मनुष्य के जीवन का सबसे आश्चर्यजनक पहलू यह है कि जब जीवन में सुख आता है, तब वह उसे अपने अच्छे कर्मों का फल मानता है। इसके ठीक विपरीत जब जीवन में दुख, कष्ट, रोग, शोक का आगमन होता है, तब बड़ी सहजता से वह बोल देता है कि भगवान ना जाने क्यों अप्रसन्न हैं, जाने किस बात का दंड दे रहे हैं।

write a character sketch of kushwant Singh grandmother

Answer»

Character sketch of khushvant singh grandmother: 

The author has described his grandmother very beautifully. He compared her to the winter landscape in the mountains and expanse of pure white serenity breathing peace and contentment. He used this simile to describe all whiteness associated with his grandmother. She always wore a spotless white dress. Her silver hair quite matched with her white attire. She was very spiritual and religious. As a result, she exuded purity and serenity like a winter landscape. There were many appreciable qualities in Khushwant Singh's grandmother. She was quite affectionate. She looked after the narrator at the village so caringly that he did not feel the absence of his parents when they went to the city to settle.  She was a strong woman who could adapt herself to any new challenging situation. Maybe she derived that strength from her devotion to God. She was so divinely dedicated to praying to God that she never left her rosary. Her feeding the village dogs and then the sparrows show her love for animals. She found a company in them. And sparrows reciprocated her love and care. They didn't chirp at all; nor did they eat a single crumb at her death. She was really a saintly woman.

12.

Find the interval in which the function f given f(x) = 2x2 - 3x is strictly increasing.

Answer»

f(x) = 2x2 - 3x

diff wrt x

f1(x) = 4x - 3

f1 (x) = 0 ⇒ 4x - 3 = 0

or 4x = 3

⇒ x = 3/4

∴ Point x = 3/4 divides the real line into two disjoint intervals (- ∞, 3/4) and (3/4, ∞) In the interval (3/4, ∞), f1(x) = 4x - 3 > 0

∴ f is strictly increasing in (3/4, ∞)

Find:\( \sin \left(2 \cos ^{-1} \frac{4}{5}\right) \)

Answer»

Let 2 cos-1\(\frac45=\theta\)

⇒ cos \(\frac{\theta}2=\frac45\) 

\(\therefore\) sin \(\frac{\theta}2=\frac35\) 

Now, sin θ = 2 sin θ/2 cos θ/2 = 2. 3/5. 4/5 = 24/25

θ = sin-1(24/25)

\(\therefore\) 2 cos-1 4/5 = sin-1(24/25)

\(\therefore\) sin (2 cos-14/5) = sin (sin-1(24/25)) = 24/25

Industries are responsible for four kinds of pollution-air, water, land and noise pollution. Industrial pollution can be controlled by: 

  • Industries should be set up in distant areas away from human settlements. 
  • Minimise the use of water processing through reusing and recycling. 
  • Treating hot water and effluents before releasing them in rivers and ponds. 
  • Particulate matter in the air can be reduced by fitting smoke stacks to factories with electrostatic precipitators. Smoke can be reduced in factories by using gas or oil instead of coal. 
  • Machinery can be redesigned to increase energy efficiency and reduce noise.

‘Roadways still have an edge over railways in India.’ Support the statement with arguments.

Answer»

Roadways are the most important means of transport in India. India has one of the largest networks of roadways in the world, aggregating about 2.3 million km. Road transport has preceded railways and still have an edge over it in view of the ease with which in can be built and maintained. Other means of transport like pipelines have limited applications and waterways are localized in rivers and waterbodies, while airways are costly and out of reach of the common people. 

Road transport is more useful than railways on account of the following merits. 

(a) Construction and maintenance of roads is much lower than the railways. 

(b) Roads can traverse comparatively more dissected and undulating topography. 

(c) They can negotiate higher gradient of slope and can traverse mountainous regions such as the Himalayas. They can reach remote villages and hilly regions where railway tracts cannot be laid. 

(d) Roads provide door-to-door service. Thus the cost of loading and unloading is much lower.

Explain the features of Indian economy

Answer»

The following are the feature of Indian economy. 

(a) Underutilization of resources: India is endowed with rich natural resources and huge manpower but due to lack of capital and knowledge technology, the resources have not been utilized. 

(b) Agriculture—main occupation: The majority of population depends on agriculture due to underdeveloped manufacturing sector and service sector. 

(c) Low rate of capital formation: Capital formation in the form of roads, dams, bridges, machinery, tools and equipment depends upon the savings of the country. But savings depend upon the national income, which is very low. 

(d) Population pressure: Due to rapidly growing population, the comparative national product is very low. This restricts the economic development by creating problems of unemployment and underemployment. 

(e) Technological backwardness: Due to lack in technology, production is carried out using intensive labour. Less of capital, like machinery, tools and equipment, is used as compared to labour, which hampers productive capacity of the country. 

(f) Unfavourable social and religious conditions: In India, there are social and cultural institutions like caste system, joint family system, laws of inheritance and succession, and child marriage. These institutions are a serious hindrance to our economic growth. These institutions kill initiative, check mobility of labour and encourage the birth rate.
