Seven years ago, let Swathi's age be x years .
Seven years ago, let Varun's age was 5x2 years.
Swathi's present age = x + 7 years
Varun's present age = (5x2 + 7) years
3 years hence, we have
Swathi's age = x + 7 + 3 years
=x + 10 years
Varun's age = 5x2 + 7 + 3 years
= 5x2 + 10 years
It is given that 3 years hence Swathi's age will
be \(\frac{2}{5}\) of Varun's age.
∴ x+10=\(\frac{2}{5}\)(5x2+10)
⇒ x+10=2x2+4
⇒ 2x2-x-6=0
⇒ 2x(x-2)+3(x-2)=0
⇒(2x+3)(x-2)=0
⇒ x-2=0
⇒ x=2(∵2x+3≠0 as x>0)
Hence Swathi's present age = (2 + 7) years
= 9 years
Varun's present age = (5 x 22 + 7) years
= 27 years

A = {1,2,3,4,5}
B = {1,2,3,4, ... }
f: A \(\rightarrow\)B, f(x) = x2
\(\therefore\) f(1) = 12 = 1
f(2) = 22= 4
f(3) = 32 = 9
f(4) = 42= 16
f(5) = 52= 25
\(\therefore\) Range of f = {1, 4, 9, 16, 25}
Elements in A have been connected with different elements in B. Therefore it is one-one function. But not all the elements in B have preimages in A. Therefore it is not on-to function.
5.
\(\cfrac { 4f(-3)+2f(4) }{ f(-6)-3f(1) } \)
For f(1) & f(3)
Since 1 & 3 lies between -5 ≤ x ≤2, We take, f(x) = x +5
f(1) = 1 + 5 = 6
f(-3) = -3 +5 = 2
For f(4): Since 4 lies between 2 < x < 6 We take, f(x) = x -1
f(4) = 4 -1 = 3
For f(-6): Since -6 lies between -7≤ x < -5 ,We take, f(x) = x² + 2x +1
f(-6) = (-6)² + 2(-6) + 1 = 36 -12 + 1 = 24 +1 = 25
Now ,\(\cfrac { 4f(-3)+2f(4) }{ f(-6)-3f(1) } \) =\(\frac{ 4(2) +2(3) }{ 25 - 3(6)}\)
= \(\frac{ 8 + 6 }{ 25 -18}\)
= \(\frac{14 }{ 7}\) = 2
Hence, the value of \(\cfrac { 4f(-3)+2f(4) }{ f(-6)-3f(1) } \) = 2
6.
f(-7) = x2 + 2x + 1
= (-7)2 + 2(-7) + 1
= 49 - 14 + 1 = 36
f(3) = x + 5 = -3 + 5 = 2
f(-7) - f(-3) = 36 + 2 = 38
7.
(i) If D is (0,k) then D is a point on the Cross Road.
Therefore, substituting x = 0, y = k in the equation of Cross Road,
we get, 0 - 3k + 18 = 0
Value of k = 6
Therefore, D is (0, 6)
(ii) To find E, let E be (q, 2)
Put y = 2 in the equation of the Cross Road,
we get, 4q - 6 + 18 = 0
4q = - 12 gives q = - 3
Therefore, The point E is (-3, 2)
Thus the Cross Road meets the North Street at D(0, 6) and
East Avenue at E (-3, 2)
8.
2y + z = 3(-x + 1)
3x + 2y + z = 3 .....(1)
-x + 3y - z = -4 .....(2)
3x + 2y + z = -\(\frac{1}{2}\) ....(3)

0 = 7
which is a contradiction.
The system of equations has no solution
9.
Fo = (co x 1.8) + 32
σc = 5°C
σF = (1.8 x 5°C) . 9°F
Adding value to data doesn't affect standard deviation.
New variance = σ2F = 81°F.

Total students = 35
n(S) = 35
Boys : girls = 4 : 3
Let the number of boys = 4x
and number of girls = 3x
4x + 3x = 35
7x = 35
\(x=\frac{35}{7}=5\)
Number of boys = 4 x 5 = 20
Number of girls = 3 x 5 = 15
Boys are numbered = {1, 2,3,4,5,6,7,8, 9,10, 11, 12,13, 14, 15,16, 17, 18,19, 20}
Girls are numbered = {21, 22,23, 24, 25, 26,27 , 29, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35}
Let A be the event of getting a boy with prime roll number.
A = {2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19}
n(A) = 8
\(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A})=\frac{n(\mathrm{~A})}{n(\mathrm{~S})}=\frac{8}{35}\)
Let B be the event of getting a girl with composite roll number
B = {21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 30, 32, 33, 34,35}
n(B) = 12
\(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B})=\frac{n(\mathrm{~B})}{n(\mathrm{~S})}=\frac{12}{35}\)
Let C be the event of getting an even roll number
C = {2, 4, 6,8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 19, 20, 22, 24, 26, 29, 34, 32, 34}
n(C) = 17
\(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{C})=\frac{n(\mathrm{C})}{n(\mathrm{~S})}=\frac{17}{35}\)
Since A and B are mutually exclusive events
P(A n B) = 0
B n C = {22, 24, 26, 29, 30, 32, 34}
n ( B n C ) = 7
\(P(B \cap C) =\frac{n(B \cap C)}{n(\mathrm{~S})}=\frac{7}{35}
\)
\(A \cap C =\{2\}
\)
\(\mathrm{n}(A \cap C) =1
\)
\(P(A \cap C) =\frac{n(A \cap C)}{n(S)}=\frac{1}{35}
\)
\(P(A \cap B \cap C) =0[\because n(A \cap B)=0]
\)
\(P(A \cup B \cup C)=P(A)+P(B)+P(C)-
P(A \cap B)-P(B \cap C)-P(A \cap C)
+ P(A \cap B \cap C)
\)
\(=\frac{8}{35}+\frac{12}{35}+\frac{17}{35}-0-\frac{7}{35}-\frac{1}{35}+0

\(=\frac{8+12+17-7-1}{35}=\frac{29}{35}

Let CD be the statue of tall 1.6 m.
BC be the pedestal.
From the right triangle \(\triangle\)ABC
\( \tan 40^{\circ} =\frac{B C}{A B} \)
\(0.8391 =\frac{B C}{A B} \)
\(A B =\frac{B C}{0.8391}\) ....(1)
From the right triangle \(\triangle\)ABD
\( \tan 60^{\circ} =\frac{B D}{A B} \)
\(\sqrt{3} =\frac{B C+C D}{A B} \)
\(1.732 =\frac{B C+1.6}{A B} \)
\(A B =\frac{B C+1.6}{1.732} \) ....(2)
From (1) and (2)
\(\frac{B C}{0.8391}=\frac{B C+1.6}{1.732}\)
1.732 BC = 0.8391 (BC + 1.6)
1.732 BC = 0.8391 BC + (0.8391) (1.6)
1.732 BC - 0.8391 BC = 1.34256
0.8929 BC = 1.34256
\(\mathrm{BC}=\frac{1.34256}{0.8929}=\frac{13425.6}{8929}=1.5 \mathrm{~m}\)
Height of the pedestal = 1.5 m

Given AB || CD || EF
AB = 6 cm, BD = 5 cm, EF = 4 cm, CD = x cm, DE = y cm
\(\text { In } \triangle E C D \text { and } \triangle E A B\)
\( \angle C E D=\angle A E B \) [common]
\(\angle E C D=\angle E A B \) [corresponding angles]
\(\triangle E C D \sim \triangle E A B\)
[By AA similarity criteria] ...(1)
\(\therefore \ \frac{E C}{E A}=\frac{C D}{A B}\)
[ Corresponding parts of similar triangles are proportional]
\(\frac{E C}{E A}=\frac{x}{6}\) ....(2)
In \(\triangle A C D\ and\ \triangle A E F \)
\(\angle C A D=\angle E A F\) [Common]
\( \angle A C D =\angle A E F \) [Corresponding angles]
\(\triangle A C D \sim \triangle A E F \) [By AA similarity]
\(\frac{A C}{A E} =\frac{C D}{E F}\)
[Corresponding parts of similar triangle are proportional]
\(\therefore \quad \frac{A C}{A E}=\frac{x}{4}\) ....(3)
Adding (2) and (3)
\( \frac{E C}{E A}+\frac{A C}{A E} =\frac{x}{6}+\frac{x}{4} \)
\(\frac{E C+A C}{A E} =\frac{4 x+6 x}{24} \)
\(\frac{A E}{A E} =\frac{10 x}{24} \)
\(1 =\frac{10 x}{24} \)
\(\mathrm{x} =\frac{24}{10}=\frac{12}{5} \mathrm{~cm}\)
From (1) \(\triangle E C D \sim \triangle E A B\)
\( \frac{D C}{A B} =\frac{E D}{E B} \)
\(\frac{x}{6} =\frac{y}{5+y} \)
\(\because \mathrm{x}=\frac{12}{5} \Rightarrow \frac{12 / 5}{6} =\frac{y}{5+y} \)
\(\frac{12}{5 \times 6} =\frac{y}{5+y} \)
12(5 + y) = 30 y
60 + 12y = 30 y
60 = 30y - 12y
18y = 60
\( y=\frac{60}{18} \)
\(y=\frac{10}{3} \mathrm{~cm}\)

Diameter of the bowl = 14 cm
Radius r = 7 cm
Volume of hemisphere \(=\frac{2}{3} \pi r^{3} \text { cu. units } \)
\(=\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7 \times 7 \times 7 \)
\(=\frac{2156}{3}=1718.67 \mathrm{~cm}^{3} \)
Radius of cylinder 'r' = 7 cm
Height 'h' = 6 cm
Volume of cylinder \(=\pi r^{2} h \text { cu. units } \)
\(=\frac{22}{7} \times 7 \times 7 \times 6 \)
= 924 cm3
capacity of the vessel = Volume of hemisphere + Volume of cylinder
= 718.67 + 924
= 1642.67 cm3
15.
Let R,r be the outer and inner radii respectively
Given outer surface area = 576 cm2
\(4 \pi R^{2}=576 \pi\)
R2 = 144
R = 12 cm
Inner surface area = \(324 \pi \mathrm{cm}^{2}\)
\(4 \pi r^{2}=324 \pi\)
r2 = 81
r = 9 cm
Volume of the material required
\(=\frac{4}{3} \pi\left(\mathrm{R}^{3}-\mathrm{r}^{3}\right) \text { cu. units } \)
\(=\frac{4}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times\left(12^{3}-9^{3}\right) \)
\(=\frac{4}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 999 \)
= 4186.285 = 4186.29 cm3
16.
Let the internal and external radii of the hemispherical shell be r and R
respectively.
Given that, R = 5 m, r = 3 m
C.S.A. of the shell = 2\(\pi\)(R2 + r2) sq. units
\(=2\times \frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times \left( 25+9 \right) =213.71\)
T.S.A. of the shell = \(\pi\)(3R2 + r2) sq. units
\(=\frac { 22 }{ 7 } (75+9)=264\)
Therefore, C.S.A. = 213.71 m2 and T.S.A. = 264 m2.
17.
The vertices are A(1, - 4), B(2, - 3) and C(4, - 7).
The slope of AB = \(\frac { -3+4 }{ 2-1 } =\frac { 1 }{ 1 } =1\)
The slope of BC = \(\frac { -7+3 }{ 4-2 } =\frac { -4 }{ 2 } =-2\)
The slope of AC = \(\frac { -7+4 }{ 4-2 } =\frac { -4 }{ 3 } =-1\)
Slope of AB x slope of AC = (1) (−1) = −1
AB is perpendicular to AC ㄥA = 900
Therefore, ΔABC is a right angled triangle.
18.
Given ABC - DEF
then we have
\(\frac{\operatorname{Area}(\Delta \mathrm{ABC})}{\text { Area }(\Delta \mathrm{DEF})}=\frac{A B^{2}}{D E^{2}}=\frac{B C^{2}}{E F^{2}}=\frac{A C^{2}}{D F^{2}} \)
\(\frac{9}{16}=\frac{B C^{2}}{E F^{2}} \)
\(\frac{9}{16} =\frac{2.1 \times 2.1}{E F^{2}} \)
\(\mathrm{EF}^{2} =\left(\frac{2.1 \times 4}{3}\right)^{2} \)
\(\mathrm{EF} =\frac{2.1 \times 4}{3}=2.8 \)
EF = 2.8 cm

From the diagram,
The solid is a cuboid volume of cuboid = length x breadth x height
where l = 24 - 2x, b - 24 - 2x,. h = x
Volume V (x) = (24 - 2x) (24 - 2x) x
V(x) = x(24 - 2x)2, x > 0
= 4x3 - 96x2 + 576x, x > 0
So, the domain is 0 < x < 12
