1.
Let W be the point on the window where the angles of elevation and depression are measured. Let PQ be the house on the opposite side.
Then WA is the width of the street.
Height of the window = h metres
= AQ (WR = AQ)
Let PA = x metres
In right triangle \(\triangle\)PAW, \(tan{ \theta }_{ 1 }=\frac { AP }{ Aw } \)
gives \(tan{ \theta }_{ 1 }=\frac { x }{ AW } \)
so, \(AW=\frac { x }{ tan{ \theta }_{ 1 } } \)
we get, AW = x cot θ ...(1)
In right triangle \(\triangle\)QAW, tan θ2 = \(\frac { AQ }{ AW } \)
gives tan θ2 = \(\frac { h }{ AW } \)
we get, AW = h cot θ2 ...(2)
From (1) and (2) we get, x cot θ1 = h cot θ2
gives, x = h\(\frac { cot{ \theta }_{ 2 } }{ { cot\theta }_{ 1 } } \)
Therefore, height of the opposite house = PA + AQ = x + h = h\(\frac { cot{ \theta }_{ 2 } }{ { cot\theta }_{ 1 } } \)\(\left( 1+\frac { cot{ \theta }_{ 2 } }{ { cot\theta }_{ 1 } } \right) \)
Hence Proved.

(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

Probability of getting the sum of outcomes equal to 4 is P(A) = \(\frac { n(A) }{ n(S) } =\frac { 3 }{ 36 } =\frac { 1 }{ 12 } \)
(ii) Let B be the event of getting the sum of outcome values greater than 10.
Then B = {(5,6),(6,5),(6,6)}; n(B) = 3
Probability of getting the sum of outcomes greater than 10 is P(B) = \(\frac { n(B) }{ n(S) } =\frac { 3 }{ 36 } =\frac { 1 }{ 12 } \)
(iii) Let C be the event of getting the sum of outcomes less than 13. Here all the outcomes have the sum value less than 13. Hence C = S
Therefore, n(C) = n(S) = 36
Probability of getting the sum value less than 13 is P(C) = \(\frac { n(C) }{ n(S) } =\frac { 36 }{ 36 } \) = 1

| Σxi=30 | Σxi2=136 |
Mean \(\bar { { x }_{ 1 } } \)=\(\frac { 30 }{ 7 } \)=4.29
Standard deviation σ1=\(\sqrt { \frac { \Sigma { x }_{ i }^{ 2 } }{ n } -\left( \frac { { \Sigma x }_{ i } }{ n } \right) ^{ 2 } } \)
σ1=\(\sqrt { \frac { 136 }{ 7 } -\left( \frac { 30 }{ 7 } \right) ^{ 2 } } =\sqrt { 19.43-18.40 } \) ≃ 1.01
Coefficient of variation for guavas
C.V1=\(\frac { { \sigma }_{ 1 } }{ \bar { { x }_{ 1 } } } \times 100\)% = \(\frac { 1.01 }{ 4.29 } \) x 100% =23.54%

Number of oranges n=7
Mean \(\bar { { x }_{ 2 } } \)=\(\frac { 30 }{ 7 } \)=4.29
Standard deviation σ1=\(\sqrt { \frac { \Sigma { x }_{ i }^{ 2 } }{ n } -\left( \frac { { \Sigma x }_{ i } }{ n } \right) ^{ 2 } } \)
σ2=\(\\ \sqrt { \frac { 184 }{ 7 } -\left( \frac { 30 }{ 7 } \right) ^{ 2 } } =\sqrt { 26.29-18.40 } \)=2.81
Coefficient of variation for oranges
C.V1=\(\frac { { \sigma }_{ 2 } }{ \bar { { x }_{ 2 } } } \) x 100% = \(\frac { 2.81 }{ 4.29 } \) x 100% = 65.50%
CV1=23.54%, CV2=65.50%. Since, C.V1 < C.V2, we can conclude that the consumption of guavas is more consistent than oranges.

Let AB denote the height of the peak and be 'h'.
In ΔABC,
tan 8o = \(\frac { AB }{ BC } =\frac { h }{ m } \)
m = \(\frac { AB }{ BC } =\frac { h }{ m } \) ...(1)
In Δ ABC,
tan 40o =\(\frac { AB }{ BC } =\frac { h }{ m } \)
m+1 = \(\frac { h }{ tan4 } \) ..(2)
From (1) and (2)
\(\frac { h }{ tan8 } +1=\frac { h }{ tan4 } \)
\(1=\frac { h }{ tan4 } -\frac { h }{ tan8 } \)
\(h\left[ \frac { tan8-tan4 }{ tan4tan8 } \right] =1\)
h = \(\frac { tan4\times tan8 }{ tan8-tan4 } \)

\(=R\left(\frac{6-7}{2}, \frac{5+6}{2}\right)=R\left(-\frac{1}{2}, \frac{11}{2}\right)\)
Mid point of AD
\(=S\left(\frac{-4-7}{2}, \frac{-2+6}{2}\right)=S\left(-\frac{11}{2}, 2\right)\)
Slope of PQ \(=\frac{y_{1}-y_{2}}{x_{1}-x_{2}}=\frac{-\frac{3}{2}-2}{\frac{1}{2}-\frac{11}{2}}=\frac{-\frac{7}{2}}{-\frac{10}{2}}=\frac{7}{10}\)
Slope of QR \(= \frac{2-\frac{11}{2}}{\frac{11}{2}+\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{-\frac{7}{2}}{\frac{12}{2}}=-\frac{7}{12} \)
Slope of RS \(= \frac{\frac{11}{2}-2}{-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{11}{2}}=\frac{\frac{7}{2}}{\frac{10}{2}}=\frac{7}{10} \)
Slope of PS \(= \frac{-\frac{3}{2}-2}{\frac{1}{2}+\frac{11}{2}}=\frac{-\frac{7}{2}}{\frac{12}{2}}=-\frac{7}{12} \)
Slope of PQ = Slope of RS = PQ || RS
Slope of QR = Slope of PS = QR || PS
Hence, the mid points form a parallelogram.

Given points A (2, 2), B (- 2,- 3), C (1, - 3) and D (x, y)
Slope of a line = \(\frac{y_{1}-y_{2}}{x_{1}-x_{2}} \)
Slope of AB = \(\frac{2+3}{2+2}=\frac{5}{4} \)
Slope of BC = \(\frac{-3+3}{-2-1}=0 \)
Slope of CD = \(-\frac{-3-y}{1-x} \)
Slope of AD = \(\frac{2-y}{2-x} \)
Since, the points form a parallelogram
AB is parallel to CD and BC is parallel to AD
Slope of AB = Slope of CD
\(\frac{5}{4}=\frac{-3-y}{1-x}\)
5(1 - x) = 4(-3 -y)
5 - 5x = -12 -4y
5x - 4y = 17
Slope of BC = Slope of AD
\(0=\frac{2-y}{2-x}\)
2 - y = 0
y = 2
Substituting in (1)
5x - 4(2) = 17
5x = 17 + 8 = 25
\(x=\frac{25}{5}=5\)
x = 5, y = 2

From the figure
r = 6 cm
R = 12 cm
h = 8 cm
\(l =\sqrt{h^{2}+(\mathrm{R}-\mathrm{r})^{2}} \)
\(=\sqrt{8^{2}+(12-6)^{2}} \)
\(=\sqrt{64+36} \)
\(=\sqrt{100}=10 \mathrm{~cm} \)
Area to be painted = C.S.A + area of top circular region
\(=\pi(R+r) l+\pi r^{2} \)
\(=\frac{22}{7}(12+6)(10)+\frac{22}{7}(6)^{2} \)
\(=\frac{22}{7}(180)+\frac{22}{7}(36) \)
\(=\frac{22}{7}(180+36) \)
\(=\frac{22}{7}(216)=\frac{4752}{7}=678.86 \)
Cost of painting per sq. cm = Rs. 2
Total cost = 678.86 x 2 = Rs. 1357.72

Let h, l, R and r be the height, slant height, outer radius and inner radius of the frustum.
Given that, diameter of the top = 10 m; radius of the top R = 5 m.
diameter of the bottom = 4 m; radius of the bottom r = 2 m, height h = 4 m
Now, \(l=\sqrt { { h }^{ 2 }+\left( R-{ r } \right) ^{ 2 } } \)
\(=\sqrt { { 4 }^{ 2 }+(5-2)^{ 2 } } \)
\(l=\sqrt { 16+9 } =\sqrt { 25 } =5m\)
Here, C.S.A. = \(\pi\)(R + r)l sq. units
\(\frac { 22 }{ 7 } (5+2)\times 5={ 110m }^{ 2 }\)
T.S.A. = \(\pi\)(R + r)l + \(\pi\)R2 + \(\pi\)r2 sq. units
\(\frac { 22 }{ 7 } \left[ (5+2)5+25+4 \right] =\frac { 1408 }{ 7 } =201.14\)
Therefore, C.S.A. = 110 m2 and T.S.A. = 201.14 m2

The function f is defined by three values in intervals I, II, III as shown by the side.
For a given value of x = a, find out the interval at which the point a is located, there after find
f(a) using the particular value defined in that interval.
(i) First, we see that, x = 4 lie in the third interval.
Therefore, f(x) = 3x - 2; f(4) = 3(4) = 10
(ii) x = -2 lies in the second interval
Therefore, f(x) = x2 - 2; f(-2) = (-2)2 - 2 = 2
(iii) From (i), f(4) =10.
To find f(1) first we see that x = 1 lies in the second interval.
Therefore, f(x) = x2-2 ⇒ f(1) = 12 - 2 = -1
So, f(4) + 2f(1) = 10 + 2(-1) = 8
(iv) We know that f(1) = -1 and f(4) = 10
For finding f(-3), we see that x = −3, lies in the first interval.
Therefore, f(x) = 2x + 7; thus, f(-3) = 2(-3) + 7 = 1
Hence, \(\frac { f(1)-3f(4) }{ f(-3) } =\frac { -2-3(10) }{ 1 } \) = - 31

Given cosec\(\theta \) + cot\(\theta \) = p ...(1)
cosec2\(\theta \) - cot2\(\theta \) = 1 (identity)
\(\operatorname{cosec} \theta-\cot \theta=\frac{1}{\operatorname{cosec} \theta+\cot \theta}\)
cosec\(\theta \) - cot\(\theta \) =\(\frac { 1 }{ { p } } \) .... (2)
Adding(1) and (2) we get, 2cosec\(\theta \) = \(p+\frac { 1 }{ p } \)
2cosec\(\theta \)\(\frac { { p }^{ 2 }+1 }{ p } \) ....(3)
Subtracting (2) from (1), we get, 2cot\(\theta \) = \(p-\frac { 1 }{ p } \)
2cot\(\theta \) = \(\frac { { p }^{ 2 }-1 }{ p } \) ...(4)
Dividing (4) by (3) we get,\(\frac { 2cot\theta }{ 2cosec\theta } =\frac { { p }^{ 2 }-1 }{ p } \times \frac { p }{ { p }^{ 2 }+1 } gives,cos\theta =\frac { { p }^{ 2 }-1 }{ { p }^{ 2 }+1 } \)

Let the 100t digit be 'x', 10's be 'y' and Unit digit be 'z'.
The three digit number is 100x + 10y + z.
Now given, x + y + z = 11 . ..(1)
100z +10y + x = 5 (100x + 10y + z) + 46
Simplifying
499x + 40y - 95z = - 46 .........(2)
x + 2y = z
x + 2y - z = 0 ....(3)

Substituting the value x = 1 in(4)
2(1) + 3y = 11
3y = 11 - 2 = 9
\(y=\frac{9}{3}=3\)
Substituting x = 1, y = 3 in (1)
1 + 3 + z = 11
z = 11 - 4 = 7
x = 1, y = 3, z = 7
The original three digit number is 137
i.e., 100(1) + 10(3) + 1(7) = 100+ 30 + 7 =137
48.
x + 2y - z = 6 ...(1)
-3x - 2y + 5z = -12 ....(2)
x- 2z = 3 ....(3)

The system of equations has infinitely many solutions
49.
(i) To check if h is one – one, we assume that h(b1) = h(b2)
Then we get 2.47b1 + 54.10 = 2.47b2 + 54.10
2.47b1 = 2.47b2
⇒ b1 = b2
Thus, h(b1) = h(b2) ⇒ b1 = b2, So, the function h is one – one.
(ii) If the length of the thigh bone b = 50, then the height is
h(50) = (2.47 x 50) + 54.10 =177.6 cms
(iii) If the height of a person is 147.96 cms, then h(b) = 147.96 and so the length of the thigh bone is given by
2.47b + 54.10 = 147.96.
2. 47 = 147. 96 - 54. 10 = 93. 86
b = \(\frac { 93.86 }{ 2.47 } \)
Therefore, the length of the thigh bone is 38 cm.

Let the three numbers be x, y, z
From the given data we get the following equations,
3x + y + 2z = 5 .....(1)
x + 3z - 3y = 2 .....(2)
2x + 3y - z = 1 .....(3)

Substituting y = 2 in (5), -14 + 7x = 7 gives, z = 3
Substituting y = 2 and z = 3 in (1), 3x + 2 + 6 = 5 we get x = -1
Therefore, x = –1, y = 2, z = 3.

Now,cos\(\theta \) + sin\(\theta \) =\(\sqrt { 2 } \) cos\(\theta \)
Squaring both sides,
(cos\(\theta \) + sin\(\theta \) )2 =(\(\sqrt { 2 } \) cos\(\theta \) )2
cos2 \(\theta \) + sin2 \(\theta \) + 2sin\(\theta \) cos\(\theta \) = 2cos2\(\theta \)
2cos2\(\theta \) - cos2\(\theta \) - sin2\(\theta \) = 2sin\(\theta \) cos\(\theta \)
cos2\(\theta \) - sin2\(\theta \) = 2sin\(\theta \) cos\(\theta \)
(cos\(\theta \) + sin\(\theta \) ) (cos\(\theta \) + sin\(\theta \) ) = 2sin\(\theta \) cos\(\theta \)
cos\(\theta \) - sin\(\theta \) = \(\frac { 2sin\theta cos\theta }{ cos\theta +sin\theta } \) =\(\frac { 2sin\theta cos\theta }{ \sqrt { 2 } cos\theta } \) [since cos\(\theta \) + sin\(\theta \) =\(\sqrt { 2 } \) cos\(\theta \) ]
=\(\sqrt { 2 } \) cos\(\theta \)
Therefore cos\(\theta \) - sin\(\theta \) =\(\sqrt { 2 } \) cos\(\theta \)

Let Arul's speed of working be x
Let Mohan's speed of working be y
Let Ram's speed of working be z
given that they are working together.
Let 'w' be the quantum of work.
Also given that Mohan takes twice the time as Arul for finishing the work.
\(\therefore \frac { w }{ y } =2\times \frac { w }{ x } \therefore x=2y\)
\(\therefore y=\frac { x }{ 2 } \) (2)
Also Ram takes 3 times the time as Arul for finishing the work.
\(\therefore \frac { w }{ z } =3\times \frac { w }{ x } \)
\(\therefore x=3z\quad \therefore z=\frac { x }{ 3 } \)
Substitute (2) and (3) in (1),
\(x+\frac { x }{ 2 } +\frac { x }{ 3 } =\frac { w }{ 6 } \)
∴ 6x + 3x + 2x = w
11x = w
\(x=\frac { w }{ 11 } ,y=\frac { w }{ 22 } ,z=\frac { w }{ 33 } \)
Working alone time taken as
\(Arul:\frac { w }{ x } =\frac { w }{ w/11 } =11hrs.\)
\(Mohan:\frac { w }{ y } =\frac { w }{ w/22 } =22hrs.\)
\(Ram:\frac { w }{ z } =\frac { w }{ w/33 } =33hrs\)

Substituting x - 1, z = 3 in (3)
1 + y - 6 = 0
y = 5

The number is 153.

P(A) = 0.5
P(B) = 0.3
Since A and B are mutually exclusive events

Let x be the length of the ladder. BC = 4 ft, AC = 7 fit.
By Pythagoras theorem we have, AB2 = AC2 + BC2
x2 = 72 + 42 gives x2 = 49 + 16
x2 = 65, Hence \(x=\sqrt { 65 } \)
The number \(\sqrt { 65 } \) is between 8 and 8.1.
82 = 64 < 65.61 = 8.12
Therefore, the length of the ladder is approximately 8.1ft
