93251.	Express the reasons for the regional pattern of low child sex ratio in India.
Answer» The regional pattern of low child sex ratios in India, is that the lowest child sex ratios are found in the most prosperous regions of India. Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi, Gujarat and Maharashtra are among the richest states in India in terms of per capita income, and they are the states with the lowest child sex ratio. So, the problem of selective abortion is not due to poverty or ignorance or lack of resources. For example, if practices like dowry mean that parents have to make large dowry payments to marry off their daughters, then prosperous parents would be the ones most able to afford this. Economically prosperous families decide to have fewer children and they may wish to choose the sex of their child. This becomes possible by misusing pre-natal diagnostic technique.

93265.	Find the general solution. D3(D − 2)(D − 3)2y = 0.
Answer» The characteristic polynomial is λ³(λ − 2)(λ − 3)². Thus, λ = 0 is a root of multiplicity 3, so it contributes the basic solutions e^0x, xe^0x, x²e^0x, i.e., 1, x, x². We have λ = 2 as a root of multiplicity 1, so it contributes the basic solution e^2x. Finally, we have λ = 3 as a root of multiplicity 2, so it contributes the basic solutions e^3x, xe^3x. The general solution of the equation is a linear combination, with arbitrary coefficients, of the basic solutions, so the general solution is y = C₁ + C₂x + C₃x² + C₄e^2x + C₅e^3x + C₆xe^3x.

We have λ = 2 as a root of multiplicity 1, so it contributes the basic solution e^2x.

Finally, we have λ = 3 as a root of multiplicity 2, so it contributes the basic solutions e^3x, xe^3x.

The general solution of the equation is a linear combination, with arbitrary coefficients, of the basic solutions, so the general solution is

93266.	Find the general solution.(D − 1)(D − 2)(D2 − 4D + 13)2y = 0.
Answer» We have λ = 1 and λ = 2 as roots of multiplicity 1, so they contribute basic solutions e^x and e^2x. The roots of the quadratic λ²− 4λ + 13 are λ = 2 ± 3i and these conjugate roots both have multiplicity 2. Thus, this pair of conjugate roots contributes the basic solutions e^2xcos(3x), e^2x sin(3x), xe^2x cos(3x) and xe^2xsin(3x). Thus, the general solution is (1.1) y = C₁e^x + C₂e^2x + C₃e^2xcos(3x) + C₄e^2xsin(3x) + C₅xe^2x cos3x + C₆xe^2xsin(3x).

93268.	Find the general solution by the method of undetermined coefficients.(D3 + 2D2)y = x.
Answer» Factor out as many D’s as possible and write the equation as (D + 2)[D²y] = x. Let z = D²y so the equation is (D + 2)z = x. Since the right-hand side is a polynomial of degree 1, the trial solution should be a polynomial of degree 1, say z = Ax + B. Plugging into the equation gives A + 2Ax + 2B = x. By equating coefficients of powers of x, we get the equations 2A = 1, A + 2B = 0. The solution is A = 1/2, B = −1/4. Thus, we have z = 1/2 x − 1/4. Since z = D²y, we have D²y = 1/2x − 1/4. Integrating once gives Dy = 1/4x 2 − 1/4x and integrating again gives y = 1/12x³ − 1/8x². The solution of the homogeneous equation is yh = C₁ + C₂x + C₃e^2x, so the general solution of the inhomogeneous equation is y = 1/12x³ − 1/8x² + C₁ + C₂x + C₃e^2x,

Find the general solution by the method of undetermined coefficients.(D3 + 2D2)y = x.

Answer»

Factor out as many D’s as possible and write the equation as

(D + 2)[D²y] = x.

Let z = D²y so the equation is

(D + 2)z = x.

Since the right-hand side is a polynomial of degree 1, the trial solution should be a polynomial of degree 1, say z = Ax + B. Plugging into the equation gives

A + 2Ax + 2B = x.

By equating coefficients of powers of x, we get the equations

2A = 1, A + 2B = 0.

The solution is A = 1/2, B = −1/4. Thus, we have

z = 1/2 x − 1/4.

Since z = D²y, we have D²y = 1/2x − 1/4.

Integrating once gives

Dy = 1/4x 2 − 1/4x

and integrating again gives

y = 1/12x³ − 1/8x².

The solution of the homogeneous equation is yh = C₁ + C₂x + C₃e^2x,

so the general solution of the inhomogeneous equation is

y = 1/12x³ − 1/8x² + C₁ + C₂x + C₃e^2x,

Answer»

The total number of students, N = 500.

For mathematics, θ = 126

No. of students showing

inclination toward Maths = θ / 360 × N = 126 / 360 × 500 = 175 Similarly,

No. of students showing

inclination towards Social science = 54 / 360 × 500 = 75

No. of students showing

inclination towards Science = 72 / 360 × 500 = 100

No. of students showing

inclination towards languages = 108 /360 × 500 = 150

Answer» Women asked the Prophet (peace be upon him), "What are the rights that a wife has over her husband?" The Prophet replied, " Feed her when you take your food, give her clothes to wear when you wear clothes, refrain from giving her a slap on the face or abusing her, and do not separate from your wife, except within the house." Once a woman came to the Prophet with a complaint against her husband. He told her: "There is no woman who removes something to replace it in its proper place, with a view to tidying her husband's house, but that Allah sets it down as a virtue for her. Nor is there a man who walks with his wife hand-in-hand, but that Allah sets it down as a virtue for him; and if he puts his arm round her shoulder in love, his virtue is increased tenfold." Once he was heard praising the women of the tribe of Quraish, "...because they are the kindest to their children while they are infants and because they keep a careful watch over the belongings of their husbands."

A beautiful lady was going with her husband on a yacht. She was going at a speed of 50 km/hr along with the current. After returning to a yacht she observed, speed of the yacht was reduced by 6 km/hr on returning. how much time a yacht will take to return on starting point if distance travelled by a yacht during upstream was 300 km and during downstream was 500 km?1. \(16\frac{9}{{11}}\;hr\)2. 16 hr3. 15.2 hr4. 16.66 hr5. 18 hr

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : \(16\frac{9}{{11}}\;hr\)

Given:

Speed of a yacht along with the current = 50 km/hr

Reduced speed = 6 km/hr

Distance traveled during upstream = 300 km

Distance traveled during downstream = 500 km

Formula used:

\({\rm{Time\;taken\;to\;return\;on\;starting\;point}} = {\rm{\;}}\frac{{{\rm{distance\;traveled\;during\;upstream\;}}}}{{{\rm{speed\;of\;upstream}}}}\; + \;\frac{{{\rm{distance\;traveled\;in\;downstream}}}}{{{\rm{speed\;of\;downstream}}}}\)

Calculation:

Speed of a yacht, upstream = speed of a yacht along with the current – reduction in speed

⇒ 50 – 6

⇒ 44 km/hr

Time taken to return on starting point = (300/44) + (500/50)

⇒ (75/11) + 10

⇒ 185/11

⇒ \(16\frac{9}{{11}}\;hr\)

Hence, the time taken to return to the starting point is \(16\frac{9}{{11}}\;hr\).

Speed of ram while travelling from point A to point B is 50 km/hr and while returning he decreased his speed by 40%. Find his average speed of whole journey.1. 33.33 km/hr2. 35.75 km/hr3. 42.55 km/hr4. 37.5 km/hr

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 37.5 km/hr

Given:

Speed of Ram while travelling from point A to point B = 50 km/hr

Speed decreased by 40% while returning

Formula used:

Average speed when the distance is same = 2xy/(x + y)

Where, x = Speed while going

y = Speed while returning

Calculation:

Speed while returning = 50 × [(100 – 40)/100] km/hr

⇒ 50 × (60/100) km/hr

⇒ 30 km/hr

Now, average speed = (2 × 50 × 30)/(50 + 30) km/hr

⇒ (100 × 30)/80 km/hr

⇒ 37.5 km/hr

∴ The average speed of the whole journey is 37.5 km/hr
