In how many ways can a committee of 3 ladies and 4 gentlemen be selected from agathering of 8 ladies and 7 gentlemen? What will be the number of ways in case of Ms Arefusing to be in the committee if Mr. B is a member? |
|
Answer» 3 ladies out of 8 can be selected in 8C3 ways and 4 gentlemen out of 7 in 7C4 ways. Now each way of selecting 3 ladies is associated with each way of selecting 4 gentlemen. Hence, the required number of ways = 8C3 × 7C4 =56×35=1960. We now find the number of committee of 3 ladies and 4 gentlemen in which both Mrs A and Mr B are member. In this case we can select 2 other ladies from the remaining 7 in 7C2 ways and 3 other gentlemen from the remaining 6 in 6C3 ways. ∴ The number of ways in which both Mrs A and Mr B are always included = 7C2 × 8C3 =21×20=420 Hence the required number of committee in which Mrs A and Mr B do not serve together =1960=420=1540. |

Find the consumer's surplus for the demand function \( p=10-x-x^{2} \) and the supply function is \( p=x+2 \) at an equilibrium. |
|
Answer» Given that Pd = 10 - x - x2----(1) and Ps = x + 2---(2) On equilibrium, we have Pd = Ps ⇒ 10 - x - x2 = x + 2 ⇒ x2 + 2x - 8 = 0 ⇒ (x + 4) (x - 2) = 0 ⇒ (x + 4) (x - 2) = 0 ⇒ x = 2, -4 \(\therefore\) x = 2 (\(\because\) x never be negative) Put x = 2 in equation (1) we get (Pd)2 = 10- 2 - 22 = 10 - 2 - 4 = 10 - 6 = 4 Now consumer's surplus = \(\int\limits_0^2(10-x-x^2)dx-2\times4\) = \([10x-\frac{x^2}2-\frac{x^3}3]_0^2-8\) = 20 - 2 - 8/3 - 8 = 10 - 8/3 = \(\frac{30-8}3=\frac{22}3\) |

The average monthly expenditure of a family for the first four months is ₹ 2570, for the next three months ₹ 2490 and for the last five months ₹ 3030. If the family saves ₹ 5320 during the whole year, the average monthly income of the family during the year is |
|
Answer» Total annual expenditure of the family = Rs. (4 x 2570 + 3 x 2490 + 5 x 3030) = Rs. (10280 + 7470 + 15150) = Rs. 32900 Total income = Rs. (32900 + 5320) = Rs. 38220 ∴ Required average monthly income = \(\frac{3880}{12}\) = Rs. 3185 |

The compound interest and the simple interest on a certain sum of money for certain period of time and at the same rate of interest are the same find the time. |
|
Answer» \(C.I. = S.I\) ⇒ \(P\left( 1 + \frac R{100}\right)^T - P = \frac{PRT}{100}\) ⇒ \(P \left(\left(1 + \frac R {100}\right)^T - 1 \right) = \frac{PRT}{100}\) ⇒ \(\frac {RT}{100} = \left( 1 + \frac R{100}\right)^T - 1\) ⇒ \(\frac {RT}{100} + 1 = \left(\frac{100 + R}{100}\right) ^T\) ⇒ \(\frac{RT + 100}{100} = \left(\frac {R + 100}{100}\right)^T\) For T = 1, L.H.S = \(\frac{R + 100}{100}\) R.H.S. = \(\frac{R + 100}{100}\) Hence, for after 1 year compound interest will be equal to simple interest. |

speech about importance of birds and animals in our life |
|
Answer» Animals and birds do control and balance our environment. They have a great importance in our lives. Animals are important in our daily life as well as for other purposes. Such that we use animals for providing us food, clothing, help in our works. In India animals are worshiped like snake, bull, oxen,cow,etc. All the fauna in the world is important. Even the small of the smallest of living creature is the part of the whole ecosystem.if any of the species would exhaust the whole ecosystem would be in danger. Animals and birds also can inspire us such that weaver birds inspired us to weave,dogs inspire us to be loyal and ants and the bees inspire us to work hard. Camel is the sheep of the desert who fulfills all the needs of the locals. It is only the one animal to survive in the desert without water for so many days.the next is cow it gives milk and some people do eat the meat of cow.horse, bullocks,elephant, etc. Are used for hazardous works still we are killing elephants for their tusks.if there would not have been birds then wright brothers would not have got the ideas about aeroplane. If there would not have been fishes the no ships were formed.So animals also contribute to the development of technologies.so if you want further development in technologies then stop killing animals and hurting them ruthlessly and teens should create an awareness among adults to not to kill animals. |

|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 38 km/h Given: The ratio of time taken to cover the distance from A to B by both boats is 4 : 5 The speed of boat Q is 34 km/h Concept: When distance is constant The ratio of speed is equal to inverse the ratio of time. Hence, if the ratio of the speed of A : B is 4 : 5, the ratio of time taken by A and B would be 5 : 4. Calculation: Let the speed of boat P be x km/h. According to the question The speed of boat P downstream is (x + 6) km/h The speed of boat Q in downstream is (34 + 6) = 40 km/h Now, The ratio of the speed of boat P and Q is ⇒ (x + 6) : 40 = 5 : 4 ⇒ x + 6 = 50 ⇒ x = 44 km/h So, The speed of boat P, when It travels from B to A (upstream) ⇒ 44 - 6 ⇒ 38 km/h ∴ 38 km/h |
