Question 13.
Five balls are to be placed in three boxes, where each box can contain upto five balls. Find the number of ways if no box is to remain empty.
Solution:
Let boxes be named as I, II, III
Let sets A, B, C represent cases in which boxes I, II, III remain empty
Then A ∪ B ∪ C represent the cases in which at least one box remains empty.
Then we use method of indirect counting
Required number = Total number of distributions – n(A ∪ B ∪ C) …..(i)
n(A ∪ B ∪ C) represent the number of undesirable cases
Total number of distributions = 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 3⁵ = 243 …….(ii)
n(A ∪ B ∪ C) = n(A) + n(B) + n(C) – n(A ∩ B) – n(B ∩ C) – n(C ∩ A) + n(A ∩ B ∩ C) …..(iii)
In box I is empty then every ball has two places (boxes) to go.
Similarly for box II and III.
∴ n(A) + n(B) + n(C) = 3 × 2⁵ ……(iv)
If boxes I and II remain empty then all balls go to box III
Similarly we would have two more cases.
∴ n(A ∩ B) + n(B ∩ C) + n(C ∩ A) = 3 × 1⁵ ……(v)
∴ n(A ∩ B ∩ C) = 0 …….(vi) [as all boxes cannot be empty]
Substitute from (iv), (v), (vi) to (iii) to get
n(A ∪ B ∪ C) = 3 × 2⁵ – 3 × 1⁵
= 96 – 3
= 93
Substitute n(A ∪ B ∪ C) and from (ii) to (i), we get
Required number = 243 – 93 = 150

Question 1.
Find n if ⁿC₈ = ⁿC₁₂
Solution:
ⁿC₈ = ⁿC₁₂
If ⁿC_x = ⁿC_y, then either x = y or x = n – y
∴ 8 = 12 or 8 = n – 12
But 8 = 12 is not possible
∴ 8 = n – 12
∴ n = 20

Question 2.
Find n if ²³C_3n = ²³C_2n+3
Solution:
²³C_3n = ²³C_2n+3
If ⁿC_x = ⁿC_y, then either x = y or x = n – y
∴ 3n = 2n + 3 or 3n = 23 – 2n – 3
∴ n = 3 or n = 4

Question 3.
Find n if ²¹C_6n = \({ }^{21} C_{n^{2}+5}\)
Solution:
²¹C_6n = \({ }^{21} C_{n^{2}+5}\)
If ⁿC_x = ⁿC_y, then either x = y or x = n – y
∴ 6n = n² + 5 or 6n = 21 – (n² + 5)
∴ n² – 6n + 5 = 0 or 6n = 21 – n² – 5
∴ n² – 6n + 5 = 0 or n² + 6n – 16 = 0
If n² – 6n + 5 = 0 then (n – 1)(n – 5) = 0
∴ n = 1 or n = 5
If n = 5 then n² + 5 = 30 > 21
∴ n ≠ 5
∴ n = 1
If n² + 6n – 16 = 0 then (n + 8)(n – 2) = 0
n = -8 or n = 2
n ≠ -8
∴ n = 2

Question 4.
Find n if ²ⁿC_r-1 = ²ⁿC_r+1
Solution:
²ⁿC_r-1 = ²ⁿC_r+1
If ⁿC_x = ⁿC_y, then either x = y or x = n – y
∴ r – 1 = r + 1 or r – 1 = 2n – (r + 1)
But r – 1 = r + 1 is not possible
∴ r – 1 = 2n – (r + 1)
∴ r + r = 2n
∴ r = n

Question 5.
Find n if ⁿC_n-2 = 15
Solution:
ⁿC_n-2 = 15
∴ ⁿC₂ = 15 …….[∵ ⁿC_r = ⁿC_n-r]
∴ \(\frac{n !}{(n-2) ! 2 !}\) = 15
∴ \(\frac{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{n}-1)(\mathrm{n}-2) !}{(\mathrm{n}-2) ! 2 \times 1}\) = 15
∴ n(n – 1) = 30
∴ n(n – 1) = 6 × 5
Comparing both sides, we get
∴ n = 6

Question 6.
Find x if ⁿP_r = x ⁿC_r
Solution:

Question 7.
Find r if ¹¹C₄ + ¹¹C₅ + ¹²C₆ + ¹³C₇ = ¹⁴C_r

(i) ¹⁴C_r – ¹²C_r
Solution:
Greatest value of ¹⁴C_r
Here n = 14, which is even
Greatest value of ⁿC_r occurs at r = \(\frac{n}{2}\) if n is even

∴ Difference between the greatest values of ¹⁴C_r and ¹²C_r = 3432 – 924 = 2508

(ii) ¹³C_r – ⁸C_r
Solution:
Greatest value of ¹³C_r
Here n = 13, which is odd
Greatest value of ⁿC_r occurs at r = \(\frac{\mathrm{n}-1}{2}\) if n is odd

∴ Difference between the greatest values of ¹³C_r and ⁸C_r = 1716 – 70 = 1646

(iii) ¹⁵C_r – ¹¹C_r
Solution:
Greatest value of ¹⁵C_r
Here n = 15, which is odd
Greatest value of ⁿC_r occurs at r = \(\frac{\mathrm{n}-1}{2}\) if n is odd

Difference between the greatest values of ¹⁵C_r and ¹¹C_r = 6435 – 462 = 5973

Question 11.
A group consists of 9 men and 6 women. A team of 6 is to be selected. How many possible selections will have at least 3 women?
Solution:
There are 9 men and 6 women.
A team of 6 persons is to be formed such that it consists of at least 3 women.

∴ Number of ways this can be done = 1680 + 540 + 54 + 1 = 2275
∴ 2275 teams can be formed if team consists of at least 3 women.

Question 12.
A committee of 10 persons is to be formed from a group of 10 women and 8 men. How many possible committees will have at least 5 women? How many possible committees will have men in the majority?
Solution:
(i) A committee of 10 persons is to be formed from 10 women and 8 men such that the committee contains at least 5 women
Consider the following table:


∴ Number of committees = 14112 + 14700 + 6720 + 1260 + 81 = 36873
∴ At least 5 women are there in 36873 committees.

(ii) Number of committees with men in majority = Total number of committees – (Number of committees with women in majority + women and men equal in number)
= ¹⁸C₁₀ – 36873
= ¹⁸C₈ – 36873
= 43758 – 36873
= 6885

Question 13.
A question paper has two sections. Section I has 5 questions and section II has 6 questions. A student must answer at least two questions from each section among 6 questions he answers. How many different choices does the student have in choosing questions?

A team of 11 players is to be chosen such that exactly one wicketkeeper and at least 4 bowlers are to be included in the team.
Consider the following table:

∴ Number of ways a team of 11 players can be selected = 45045 + 6006 = 51051

Question 15.
Five students are selected from 11. How many ways can these students be selected if
(i) two specified students are selected?
(ii) two specified students are not selected?
Solution:
5 students are to be selected from 11 students
(i) When 2 specified students are included
then remaining 3 students can be selected from (11 – 2) = 9 students.
∴ Number of ways of selecting 3 students from 9 students = ⁹C₃
= \(\frac{9 !}{3 ! \times 6 !}\)
= \(\frac{9 \times 8 \times 7 \times 6 !}{3 \times 2 \times 1 \times 6 !}\)
= 84
∴ Selection of students is done in 126 ways when 2 specified students are not selected.

(ii) When 2 specified students are not included then 5 students can be selected from the remaining (11 – 2) = 9 students
∴ Number of ways of selecting 5 students from 9 students = ⁹C₅
= \(\frac{9 !}{5 ! 4 !}\)
= \(\frac{9 \times 8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5 !}{5 ! \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}\)
= 126
∴ Selection of students is done in 126 ways when 2 specified students are not selected.

Solution:

(ii) ²ⁿC₃ : ⁿC₂ = 52 : 3
Solution:

(iii) ⁿC_n-3 = 84
Solution:
ⁿC_n-3 = 84
∴ \(\frac{n !}{(n-3) ![n-(n-3)] !}\) = 84
∴ \(\frac{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{n}-1)(\mathrm{n}-2)(\mathrm{n}-3) !}{(\mathrm{n}-3) ! \times 3 !}\) = 84
∴ n(n – 1) (n – 2) = 84 × 6
∴ n(n – 1) (n – 2) = 9 × 8 × 7
Comparing on both sides, we get
∴ n = 9

Question 3.
Find r if ¹⁴C_2r : ¹⁰C_2r-4 = 143 : 10
Solution:

∴ \(\frac{14 \times 13 \times 12 \times 11}{2 \mathrm{r}(2 \mathrm{r}-1) \times(2 \mathrm{r}-2)(2 \mathrm{r}-3)}=\frac{143}{10}\)
∴ 2r(2r – 1)(2r – 2)(2r – 3) = 14 × 12 × 10
∴ 2r(2r – 1)(2r – 2)(2r – 3) = 8 × 7 × 6 × 5
Comparing on both sides, we get
∴ r = 4

There are 6 boys and 4 girls.
A team of 3 boys and 2 girls is to be selected.
∴ 3 boys can be selected from 6 boys in ⁶C₃ ways.
2 girls can be selected from 4 girls in ⁴C₂ ways.
∴ Number of ways the team can be selected = ⁶C₃ × ⁴C₂
= \(\frac{6 !}{3 ! 3 !} \times \frac{4 !}{2 ! 2 !}\)
= \(\frac{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 !}{3 \times 2 \times 1 \times 3 !} \times \frac{4 \times 3 \times 2 !}{2 \times 2 !}\)
= 20 × 6
= 120
∴ The team of 3 boys and 2 girls can be selected in 120 ways.

Question 9.
After a meeting, every participant shakes hands with every other participants. If the number of handshakes is 66, find the number of participants in the meeting.
Solution:
Let there be n participants present in the meeting.
A handshake occurs between 2 persons.
∴ Number of handshakes = ⁿC₂
Given 66 handshakes were exchanged.
∴ 66 = ⁿC₂
∴ 66 = \(\frac{n !}{2 !(n-2) !}\)
∴ 66 × 2 = \(\frac{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{n}-1)(\mathrm{n}-2) !}{(\mathrm{n}-2) !}\)
∴ 132 = n(n – 1)
∴ n(n – 1) = 12 × 11
Comparing on both sides, we get n = 12
∴ 12 participants were present at the meeting.

Question 10.
If 20 points are marked on a circle, how many chords can be drawn?
Solution:
To draw a chord we need to join two points on the circle.
There are 20 points on a circle.
∴ Total number of chords possible from these points = ²⁰C₂
= \(\frac{20 !}{2 ! 18 !}\)
= \(\frac{20 \times 19 \times 18 !}{2 \times 1 \times 18 !}\)
= 190

Question 11.
Find the number of diagonals of an n-sided polygon. In particular, find the number of diagonals when
(i) n = 10
(ii) n = 15
(iii) n = 12
Solution:
In n-sided polygon, there are ‘n’ points and ‘n’ sides. .
∴ Through ‘n’ points we can draw ⁿC₂ lines including sides.
∴ Number of diagonals in n sided polygon = ⁿC₂ – n (∴ n = number of sides)

Question 12.
There are 20 straight lines in a plane so that no two lines are parallel and no three lines are concurrent. Determine the number of points of intersection.
Solution:
There are 20 lines such that no two of them are parallel and no three of them are concurrent.
Since no two lines are parallel
∴ they intersect at a point
∴ Number of points of intersection if no two lines are parallel and no three lines are concurrent = ²⁰C₂
= \(\frac{20 !}{2 ! 18 !}\)
= \(\frac{20 \times 19 \times 18 !}{2 \times 1 \times 18 !}\)
= 190

Question 13.
Ten points are plotted on a plane. Find the number of straight lines obtained by joining these points if
(i) no three points are collinear
(ii) four points are collinear
Solution:
There are 10 points on a plane.
(i) No three of them are collinear:
Since a line is obtained by joining 2 points,
number of lines passing through these points if no three points are collinear = ¹⁰C₂
= \(\frac{10 !}{2 ! 8 !}\)
= \(\frac{10 \times 9 \times 8 !}{2 \times 1 \times 8 !}\)
= 5 × 9
= 45

(ii) When 4 of them arc collinear:
∴ Number of lines passing through these points if 4 points are collinear
= ¹⁰C₂ – ⁴C₂ + 1
= 45 – \(\frac{4 !}{2 ! 2 !}\) + 1
= 45 – \(\frac{4 \times 3 \times 2 !}{2 \times 2 !}\) + 1
= 45 – 6 + 1
= 40

Question 14.
Find the number of triangles formed by joining 12 points if
(i) no three points are collinear
(ii) four points are collinear
Solution:
There are 12 points on the plane
(i) When no three of them are collinear:
Since a triangle can be drawn by joining any three non-collinear points.
∴ Number of triangles that can be obtained from these points = ¹²C₃
= \(\frac{12 !}{3 ! 9 !}\)
= \(\frac{12 \times 11 \times 10 \times 9 !}{3 \times 2 \times 1 \times 9 !}\)
= 220

(ii) When 4 of these points are collinear:
∴ Number of triangles that can be obtained from these points = ¹²C₃ – ⁴C₃
= 220 – \(\frac{4 !}{3 ! \times 1 !}\)
= 220 – \(\frac{4 \times 3 !}{3 !}\)
= 220 – 4
= 216

Question 15.
A word has 8 consonants and 3 vowels. How many distinct words can be formed if 4 consonants and 2 vowels are chosen?
Solution:
Out of 8 consonants, 4 can be selected in ⁸C₄
= \(\frac{8 !}{4 ! 4 !}\)
= \(\frac{8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 !}{4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1 \times 4 !}\)
= 70 ways
From 3 vowels, 2 can be selected in ³C₂
= \(\frac{3 !}{2 ! 1 !}\)
= \(\frac{3 \times 2 !}{2 !}\)
= 3 ways
Now, to form a word, these 6 letters (i.e., 4 consonants and 2 vowels) can be arranged in ⁶P₆ i.e., 6! ways.
∴ Total number of words that can be formed = 70 × 3 × 6!
= 70 × 3 × 720
= 151200

Maharashtra State Board 11th Commerce Maths Solutions Chapter 3 Skewness Ex 3.1

Question 1.
For a distribution, mean = 100, mode = 127 and S.D. = 60. Find the Pearson coefficient of skewness Sk_p.
Solution:
Given, Mean = 100, Mode = 127, S.D. = 60

Question 2.
The mean and variance of a distribution are 60 and 100 respectively. Find the mode and the median of the distribution if Sk_p = -0.3.
Solution:
Given, Mean = 60, Variance = 100, Sk_p = -0.3
∴ S.D. = √Variance = √100 = 10
Sk_p = \(\frac{\text { Mean }-\text { Mode }}{\text { S.D. }}\)
∴ -0.3 = \(\frac{60-\text { Mode }}{10}\)
∴ -3 = 60 – Mode
∴ Mode = 60 + 3 = 63
Mean – Mode = 3 (Mean – Median)
∴ 60 – 63 = 3(60 – Median)
∴ -3 = 180 – 3Median
∴ 3Median = 180 + 3 = 183
∴ Median = \(\frac{183}{3}\)
∴ Median = 61

Question 3.
For a data set, sum of upper and lower quartiles is 100, difference between upper and lower quartiles is 40 and the median is 30. Find the coefficient of skewness.
Solution:
Given, Q₃ + Q₁ = 100 ……(i)
Q₃ – Q₁ = 40 …..(ii)
Median = Q₂ = 30
Adding (i) and (ii), we get
2Q₃ = 140
∴ Q₃ = 70
Substituting the value of Q₃ in (i), we get
70 + Q₁ = 100
∴ Q₁ = 100 – 70 = 30

Question 4.
For a data set with an upper quartile equal to 55 and median equal to 42, if the distribution is symmetric, find the value of the lower quartile.
Solution:
Upper quartile = Q₃ = 55
Median = Q₂ = 42
Since, the distribution is symmetric.
∴ Sk_b = 0
Sk_b = \(\frac{Q_{3}+Q_{1}-2 Q_{2}}{Q_{3}-Q_{1}}\)
∴ 0 = \(\frac{Q_{3}+Q_{1}-2 Q_{2}}{Q_{3}-Q_{1}}\)
∴ 0 = Q₃ + Q₁ – 2Q₂
∴ Q₁ = 2Q₂ – Q₃
∴ Q₁ = 2(42) – 55
∴ Q₁ = 84 – 55
∴ Q₁ = 29

Question 5.
Obtain coefficient of skewness by formula and comment on the nature of the distribution.

Solution:
We construct the less than cumulative frequency table as given below.

Q₁ class = class containing \(\left(\frac{\mathrm{N}}{4}\right)^{\mathrm{th}}\) observation
∴ \(\frac{\mathrm{N}}{4}=\frac{82}{4}\) = 20.5
Cumulative frequency which is just greater than (or equal) to 20.5 is 30.
∴ Q₁ lies in the class 60 – 64.
∴ L = 60, h = 4, f = 20, c.f. = 10

Q₂ class = class containing \(\left(\frac{\mathrm{N}}{2}\right)^{\mathrm{th}}\) observation
∴ \(\frac{\mathrm{N}}{2}=\frac{82}{2}\) = 41
Cumulative frequency which is just greater than (or equal) to 41 is 70.
∴ Q₂ lies in the class 64 – 68.
∴ L = 64, h = 4, f = 40, c.f. = 30

Q₃ class = class containing \(\left(\frac{3 \mathrm{~N}}{4}\right)^{\text {th }}\) observation
∴ \(\frac{3 \mathrm{~N}}{4}=\frac{3 \times 82}{4}\) = 61.5
Cumulative frequency which is just greater than (or equal) to 61.5 is 70.
∴ Q₃ lies in the class 64 – 68.
∴ L = 64, h = 4, f = 40, c.f. = 30


∴ Sk_b = -0.1881
Since, Sk_b < 0, the distribution is negatively skewed.

Question 6.
Find Sk_p for the following set of observations.
17, 17, 21, 14, 15, 20, 19, 16, 13, 17, 18
Solution:
Σx_i = 17 + 17 + 21 + 14 + 15 + 20 + 19 + 16 + 13 + 17 + 18 = 187
Mean = \(\frac{\sum x_{i}}{n}=\frac{187}{11}\) = 17
Mode = Observation that occurs most frequently in the data = 17

Question 7.
Calculate Sk_b for the following set of observations of the yield of wheat in kg from 13 plots:
4.6, 3.5, 4.8, 5.1, 4.7, 5.5, 4.7, 3.6, 3.5, 4.2, 3.5, 3.6, 5.2
Solution:
The given data can be arranged in ascending order as follows:
3.5, 3.5, 3.5, 3.6, 3.6, 4.2, 4.6, 4.7, 4.7, 4.8, 5.1, 5.2, 5.5
Here, n = 13
Q₁ = value of \(\left(\frac{n+1}{4}\right)^{\text {th }}\) observation
= value of \(\left(\frac{13+1}{4}\right)^{\text {th }}\) observation
= value of (3.50)th observation
= value of 3rd observation + 0.50(value of 4th observation – value of 3rd observation)
= 3.5 + 0.50(3.6 – 3.5)
= 3.5 + 0.50(0.1)
= 3.5 + 0.05
∴ Q₁ = 3.55
Q₂ = value of 2\(\left(\frac{n+1}{4}\right)^{\text {th }}\) observation
= value of 2\(\left(\frac{13+1}{4}\right)^{\text {th }}\) observation
= value of (2 × 3.50)th observation
= value of 7th observation
∴ Q₂ = 4.6
Q₃ = value of 3\(\left(\frac{n+1}{4}\right)^{\text {th }}\) observation
= value of 3\(\left(\frac{13+1}{4}\right)^{\text {th }}\) observation
= value of (3 × 3.50)th observation
= value of (10.50)th observation
= value of 10th observation + 0.50 (value of 11th obseration – value of 10th observation)
= 4.8 + 0.50(5.1 – 4.8)
= 4.8 + 0.50(0.3)
∴ Q₃ = 4.95

∴ Sk_b = -0.5

Question 8.
For a frequency distribution Q₃ – Q₂ = 90 and Q₂ – Q₁ = 120. Find Sk_b.
Solution:
Given, Q₂ – Q₁ = 90, Q₂ – Q₁ = 120

∴ Sk_b = -0.1429

Balbharati Maharashtra State Board 11th Commerce Maths Solution Book Pdf Chapter 8 Continuity Miscellaneous Exercise 8 Questions and Answers.

Maharashtra State Board 11th Commerce Maths Solutions Chapter 8 Continuity Miscellaneous Exercise 8

I. Discuss the continuity of the following functions at the point(s) or in the interval indicated against them.

Question 1.
If f(x) = 2x² – 2x + 5 for 0 ≤ x < 2
= \(\frac{1-3 x-x^{2}}{1-x}\) for 2 ≤ x < 4
= \(\frac{7-x^{2}}{x-5}\) for 4 ≤ x ≤ 7 on its domain.
Solution:
The domain of f is [0, 5) ∪ (5, 7]
We observe that x = 5 is not included in the domain as f is not defined at x = 5
a. For 0 ≤ x < 2
f(x) = 2x² – 2x + 5
It is a polynomial function and is continuous at all point in [0, 2)

b. For 2 < x < 4
f(x) = \(\frac{1-3 x-x^{2}}{1-x}\)
It is a rational function and is continuous everwhere except at points where its denominator becomes zero.
Denominator becomes zero at x = 1
But x = 1 does not lie in the interval.
f(x) is continuous at all points in (2, 4)

c. For 4 < x ≤ 7, x ≠ 5
i.e. for x ∈ [4, 5) ∪ (5, 7]
∴ f(x) = \(\frac{7-x^{2}}{x-5}\)
It is a rational function and is continuous everywhere except possibly at points where its denominator becomes zero.
Denominator becomes zero at x = 5
But x = 5 ∉ [4, 5) ∪ (5, 7]
∴ f is continuous at all points in (4, 7] – {5}.

d. Since the definition of function changes around x = 2, x = 4 and x = 7
∴ there is disturbance in behaviour of the function.
So we examine continuity at x = 2, 4, 7 separately.
Continuity at x = 2:
\(\lim _{x \rightarrow 2^{-}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 2^{-}}\left(2 x^{2}-2 x+5\right)\)
= 2(2)² – 2(2) + 5
= 8 – 4 + 5
= 9

∴ f is continuous at x = 2

e. Continuity at x = 4:

∴ f is continuous at x = 4

Question 2.
f(x) = \(\frac{3^{x}+3^{-x}-2}{x^{2}}\) for x ≠ 0
= (log 3)² for x = 0 at x = 0
Solution:


∴ \(\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} f(x)=f(0)\)
∴ f is continuous at x = 0

Question 3.
f(x) = \(\frac{5^{x}-e^{x}}{2 x}\) for x ≠ 0
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) (log 5 – 1) for x = 0 at x = 0
Solution:

∴ \(\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} f(x)=f(0)\)
∴ f is continuous at x = 0

Question 4.
f(x) = \(\frac{\sqrt{x+3}-2}{x^{3}-1}\) for x ≠ 1
= 2 for x = 1, at x = 1
Solution:


∴ \(\lim _{x \rightarrow 1} \mathrm{f}(x) \neq \mathrm{f}(1)\)
∴ f is discontinuous at x = 1

Question 5.
f(x) = \(\frac{\log x-\log 3}{x-3}\) for x ≠ 3
= 3 for x = 3, at x = 3
Solution:

(II) Find k if following functions are continuous at the points indicated against them.

Question 1.
f(x) = \(\left(\frac{5 x-8}{8-3 x}\right)^{\frac{3}{2 x-4}}\) for x ≠ 2
= k for x = 2 at x = 2
Solution:

Question 2.
f(x) = \(\frac{45^{x}-9^{x}-5^{x}+1}{\left(k^{x}-1\right)\left(3^{x}-1\right)}\) for x ≠ 0
= \(\frac{2}{3}\) for x = 0, at x = 0
Solution:

Question 3.
f(x) = \((1+k x)^{\frac{1}{x}}\), for x ≠ 0
= \(e^{\frac{3}{2}}\), for x = 0, at x = 0
Solution:

III. Find a and b if following functions are continuous at the point indicated against them.

Question 1.
f(x) = x² + a, for x ≥ 0
= 2\(\sqrt{x^{2}+1}\) + b, for x < 0 and
f(1) = 2, is continuous at x = 0
Solution:

Question 2.
f(x) = \(\frac{x^{2}-9}{x-3}\) + a, for x > 3
= 5, for x = 3
= 2x² + 3x + b, for x < 3
is continuous at x = 3
Solution:

Question 3.
f(x) = \(\frac{32^{x}-1}{8^{x}-1}\) + a, for x > 0
= 2, for x = 0
= x + 5 – 2b, for x < 0
is continuous at x = 0
Solution:

Maharashtra State Board 11th Commerce Maths Solutions Chapter 6 Determinants Ex 6.1

Question 1.
Evaluate the following determinants:


Solution:
(i) \(\left|\begin{array}{cc}
4 & 7 \\
-7 & 0
\end{array}\right|\)
= 4(0) – (-7)(7)
= 0 + 49
= 49

= 3(0 – 63) – 5(0 – 27) + 2(7 – 24)
= 3(-63) + 5 (-27) + 2(-17)
= – 189 – 135 – 34
= -358

= 1(2 – 10) – i(-i – 15) + 3(-2i – 6)
= -8 + i² + 15i – 6i – 18
= i² – 26 + 9i
= -1 – 26 + 9i …[∵ i² = -1]
= -27 + 9i

= 5(32 – 16) – 5(40 – 20) + 5(20 – 20)
= 5(16) – 5(20) + 5(0)
= 80 – 100
= -20

(v) \(\left|\begin{array}{cc}
2 \mathrm{i} & 3 \\
4 & -\mathrm{i}
\end{array}\right|\)
= 2i(-i) – 3(4)
= -2i² – 12
= -2(-1) – 12 …[∵ i² = -1]
= 2 – 12
= -10

= 3(1 + 6) + 4(1 + 4) + 5(3 – 2)
= 3(7)+ 4(5) + 5(1)
= 21 + 20 + 5
= 46

= a(bc – f²) – h(hc – gf) + g(hf – gb)
= abc – af² – h²c + fgh + fgh – g²b
= abc + 2fgh – af² – bg² – ch²

= 0 – a(0 + bc) – b(-ac – 0)
= -a(bc) – b(-ac)
= -abc + abc
= 0

Question 2.
Find the value(s) of x, if

Solution:
(i) \(\left|\begin{array}{ll}
2 & 3 \\
4 & 5
\end{array}\right|=\left|\begin{array}{cc}
x & 3 \\
2 x & 5
\end{array}\right|\)
∴ 10 – 12 = 5x – 6x
∴ -2 = -x
∴ x = 2

Check:
We can check if our answer is right or wrong.
In order to do so, substitute x = 2 in the given determinant.
For x = 2,
L.H.S. = \(\left|\begin{array}{ll}
2 & 3 \\
4 & 5
\end{array}\right|\)
= 10 – 12
= -2
R.H.S. =\(\left|\begin{array}{cc}
x & 3 \\
2 x & 5
\end{array}\right|\)
= \(\left|\begin{array}{ll}
2 & 3 \\
4 & 5
\end{array}\right|\)
= 10 – 12
= -2
Thus, our answer is correct.

∴ 2(9 – 20) – 1 (-3 – 0) + (x + 1) (5 – 0) = 0
∴ 2(-11) – 1(-3) + (x + 1)(5) = 0
∴ -22 + 3 + 5x + 5 = 0
∴ 5x = 14
∴ x = \(\frac{14}{5}\)

∴ (x – 1)[(x – 2)(x – 3) – 0] – x(0 – 0) + (x – 2)(0 – 0) = 0
∴ (x – 1)(x – 2)(x – 3) = 0
∴ x – 1 = 0 or x – 2 = 0 or x – 3 = 0
∴ x = 1 or x = 2 or x = 3

Question 3.
Solve the following equations.

Solution:

∴ x(x² – 4) – 2(2x – 4) + 2(4 – 2x) = 0
∴ x(x² – 4) – 2(2x – 4) – 2(2x – 4) = 0
∴ x(x + 2)(x – 2) – 4(2x – 4) = 0
∴ x(x + 2)(x – 2) – 8(x – 2) = 0
∴ (x – 2)[x(x + 2) – 8] = 0
∴ (x – 2)(x² + 2x – 8) = 0
∴ (x – 2)(x² + 4x – 2x – 8) = 0
∴ (x – 2)(x + 4)(x – 2) = 0
∴ (x – 2)² (x + 4) = 0
∴ (x – 2)² = 0 or x + 4 = 0
∴ x – 2 = 0 or x = -4
∴ x = 2 or x = -4

∴ 1(-10x² – 10x) – 4(5x² – 5) + 20(2x + 2) = 0
∴ -10x² – 10x – 20x² + 20 + 40x + 40 = 0
∴ -30x² + 30x + 60 = 0
∴ x² – x – 2 = 0 …..[Dividing throughout by (-30)]
∴ x² – 2x + x – 2 = 0
∴ (x – 2)(x + 1) = 0
∴ x – 2 = 0 or x + 1 = 0 x = 2 or x = -1

Question 4.
Find the value of x, if
\(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
x & -1 & 2 \\
2 x & 1 & -3 \\
3 & -4 & 5
\end{array}\right|\) = 29
Solution:

∴ x(5 – 12) + 1(10x + 9) + 2(-8x – 3) = 29
∴ -7x + 10x + 9 – 16x – 6 = 29
∴ -13x + 3 = 29
∴ -13x = 26
∴ x = -2

Question 5.
Find x and y if \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
4 i & i^{3} & 2 i \\
1 & 3 i^{2} & 4 \\
5 & -3 & i
\end{array}\right|\) = x + iy, where i = √-1.
Solution:

= 4i(-3i + 12) + i(i – 20) + 2i(-3 + 15)
= -12i² + 48i + i² – 20i + 24i
= -11i² + 52i
= -11(-1) + 52i …..[∵ i² = -1]
= 11 + 52i
Comparing with x + iy, we get
x = 11, y = 52

Maharashtra State Board 11th Commerce Maths Solutions Chapter 6 Permutations and Combinations Ex 6.3

Question 1.
Find n if ⁿP₆ : ⁿP₃ = 120 : 1
Solution:
ⁿP₆ : ⁿP₃ = 120 : 1
∴ \(\frac{n !}{(n-6) !} \div \frac{n !}{(n-3) !}=\frac{120}{1}\)
∴ \(\frac{\mathrm{n} !}{(\mathrm{n}-6) !} \times \frac{(\mathrm{n}-3) !}{\mathrm{n} !}\) = 120
∴ \(\frac{n !}{(n-6) !} \times \frac{(n-3)(n-4)(n-5)(n-6) !}{n !}\) = 120
∴ (n – 3) (n – 4) (n – 5) = 120
∴ (n – 3) (n – 4) (n – 5) = 6 × 5 × 4
Comparing on both sides, we get
n – 3 = 6
∴ n = 9

Question 2.
Find m and n if ^(m+n)P₂ = 56 and ^(m-n)P₂ = 12
Solution:
^m+nP₂ = 56
∴ \(\frac{(\mathrm{m}+\mathrm{n}) !}{(\mathrm{m}+\mathrm{n}-2) !}\) = 56
∴ \(\frac{(m+n)(m+n-1)(m+n-2) !}{(m+n-2) !}\) = 56
∴ (m + n) (m + n – 1) = 8 × 7
Comparing on both sides, we get
m + n = 8 …..(i)
Also ^m-nP₂ = 12
∴ \(\frac{(m-n) !}{(m-n-2) !}\) = 12
∴ \(\frac{(m-n)(m-n-1)(m-n-2) !}{(m-n-2) !}\) = 12
∴ (m – n) (m – n – 1) = 4 × 3
Comparing on both sides, we get
m – n = 4 …..(ii)
Adding (i) and (ii), we get
2m = 12
∴ m = 6
Substituting m = 6 in (ii), we get
6 – n = 4
∴ n = 2

Question 3.
Find r if ¹²P_r-2 : ¹¹P_r-1 = 3 : 14
Solution:

∴ (14 – r)(13 – r) = 8 × 7
Comparing on both sides, we get
14 – r = 8
∴ r = 6

Question 4.
Show that (n + 1) ⁿP_r = (n – r + 1) ⁽ⁿ⁺¹⁾P_r.
Solution:

Question 5.
How many 4 letter words can be formed using letters in the word MADHURI if
(i) letters can be repeated?
(ii) letters cannot be repeated?
Solution:
There are 7 letters in the word MADHURI.
(i) A 4 letter word is to be formed from the letters of the word MADHURI and repetition of letters is allowed.
∴ 1st letter can be filled in 7 ways.
2nd letter can be filled in 7 ways.
3rd letter can be filled in 7 ways.
4th letter can be filled in 7 ways.
∴ Total no. of ways a 4-letter word can be formed = 7 × 7 × 7 × 7 = 2401
∴ 2401 four-lettered words can be formed when repetition of letters is allowed.

(ii) When repetition of letters is not allowed, the number of 4-letter words formed from the letters of the word MADHURI is
⁷P₄ = \(\frac{7 !}{(7-4) !}=\frac{7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 !}{3 !}\) = 840
∴ 840 four-letter words can be formed when repetition of letters is not allowed.

Alternate method:
There are 7 letters in the word MADHURI.
(i) Since letters can be repeated
∴ In all places of a four-letter word, any one of seven letters M, A, D, H, U, R, I can appear.
∴ Using the Multiplication theorem, we get
Number of four-letter words with repetition of letters M, A, D, H, U, R, I = 7 × 7 × 7 × 7 = 2401

(ii) Since the letters cannot be repeated therefore 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th places can be filled in 7, 6, 5, 4 ways respectively
∴ Using the multiplication theorem, we get
Number of four-letter words, with no repetition of letters M, A, D, H, U, R, I = 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 = 840

Question 6.
Determine the number of arrangements of letters of the word ALGORITHM if
(i) vowels are always together.
(ii) no two vowels are together.
(iii) Consonants are at even positions
(iv) O is first and T is last.
Solution:
A word is to be formed using the letters of the word ALGORITHM.
There are 9 letters in the word ALGORITHM.
(i) When vowels are always together:
There are 3 vowels in the word ALGORITHM. (i.e, A, I, O)
Let us consider these 3 vowels as one unit.
This unit with 6 other letters is to be arranged.
∴ It becomes an arrangement of 7 things which can be done in ⁷P₇ i.e., 7! ways and 3 vowels can be arranged among themselves in ³P₃ i.e., 3! ways.
∴ the total number of ways in which the word can be formed = 7! × 3!
= 5040 × 6
= 30240
∴ 30240 words can be formed if vowels are always together.

(ii) When no two vowels are together:
There are 6 consonants in the word ALGORITHM.
They can be arranged among themselves in ⁶P₆ i.e., 6! ways.
Let consonants be denoted by C.
_C_C_ C_C_C_C_
6 consonants create 7 gaps in which 3 vowels are to arranged.
∴ 3 vowels can be filled in ⁷P₃
= \(\frac{7 !}{(7-3) !}\)
= \(\frac{7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 !}{4 !}\)
= 210 ways
∴ total number of ways in which the word can be formed = 6! × 210
= 720 × 210
= 151200
∴ 151200 words can be formed if no two vowels are together.

(iii) When consonants are at even positions:
There are 4 even places and 6 consonants in the word ALGORITHM.
1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th even places are filled in 6, 5, 4, 3 way respectively.
∴ The number of ways to fill four even places by consonants = 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 = 360
The remaining 5 letters (3 vowels and 2 consonants) can be arranged among themselves in ⁵P₅ i.e., 5! ways.
∴ Total number of ways the words can be formed
In which even places are occupied by consonants = 360 × 5!
= 360 × 120
= 43200
∴ 43200 words can be formed if even positions are occupied by consonants.

(iv) When beginning with O and ends with T:
All the letters of the word ALGORITHM are to be arranged among themselves such that arrangement begins with O and ends with T.
7 letters other than O and T can be filled between O and T in ⁷P₇ i.e., 7! ways = 5040 ways.
∴ 5040 words beginning with O and ending with T can be formed.

Question 7.
In a group photograph, 6 teachers and principals are in the first row and 18 students are in the second row. There are 12 boys and 6 girls among the students. If the middle position is reserved for the principal and if no two girls are together, find the number of arrangements.
Solution:
In 1st row middle seat is fixed for the principal.
Also 1st row, 6 teachers can be arranged among themselves in ⁶P₆ i.e., 6! ways.
In the 2nd row, 12 boys can be arranged among themselves in ¹²P₁₂ i.e., 12! ways.
13 gaps are created by 12 boys, in which 6 girls are to be arranged.
together which can be done in ¹³P₆ ways.
∴ total number of arrangements = 6! × 12! × ¹³P₆ …..[using Multiplications Principle]
= 6! × 12! × \(\frac{13 !}{(13-6) !}\)
= 6! × 12! × \(\frac{13 !}{7 !}\)
= \(\frac{6 ! \times 12 ! \times 13 !}{7 \times 6 !}\)
= \(\frac{12 ! 13 !}{7}\)

Question 8.
Find the number of ways letters of the word HISTORY can be arranged if
(i) Y and T are together
(ii) Y is next to T.
Solution:
There are 7 letters in the word HISTORY
(i) When ‘Y’ and ‘T’ are together.
Let us consider ‘ Y’ and ‘T’ as one unit
This unit with the other 5 letters is to be arranged.
∴ The number of arrangements of one unit and 5 letters = ⁶P₆ = 6!
Also, ‘Y’ and ‘T’ can be arranged among themselves in ²P₂ i.e., 2! ways.
∴ a total number of arrangements when Y and T are always together = 6! × 2!
= 720 × 2
= 1440
∴ 1440 words can be formed if Y and T are together.

(ii) When ‘Y’ is next to ‘T’
Let us take this (‘Y’ next to ‘T’) as one unit.
This unit with 5 other letters is to be arranged.
∴ The number of arrangements of 6 letters and one unit = ⁶P₆ = 6!
Also ‘Y’ has to be always next to ‘T’.
So they can be arranged in 1 way.
∴ total number of arrangements possible when Y is next to T = 6! × 1 = 720
∴ 720 words can be formed if Y is next to T.

Question 9.
Find the number of arrangements of the letters in the word BERMUDA so that consonants and vowels are in the same relative positions.
Solution:
There are 7 letters in the word “BERMUDA” out of which 3 are vowels and 4 are consonants.
If relative positions of consonants and vowels are not changed.
3 vowels can be arranged among themselves in ³P₃ i.e., 3! ways.
4 consonants can be arranged among themselves in ⁴P₄ i.e., 4! ways.
∴ total no. of arrangements possible if relative positions of vowels and consonants are not changed = 3! × 4!
= 6 × 24
= 144

Question 10.
Find the number of 4-digit numbers that can be formed using the digits 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8 if
(i) digits can be repeated
(ii) digits cannot be repeated
Solution:
(i) A 4 digit number is to be made from the digits 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8 such that digits can be repeated.
∴ The unit’s place digit can be filled in 6 ways.
10’s place digit can be filled in 6 ways.
100’s place digit can be filled in 6 ways.
1000’s place digit can be filled in 6 ways.
∴ total number of numbers = 6 × 6 × 6 × 6 = 6⁴ = 1296
∴ 1296 four-digit numbers can be formed if repetition of digits is allowed.

(ii) A 4 different digit number is to be made from the digits 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8 without repetition of digits.
∴ 4 different digits are to be arranged from 6 given digits which can be done in ⁶P₄
= \(\frac{6 !}{(6-4) !}\)
= \(\frac{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 !}{2 !}\)
= 360 ways
∴ 360 four-digit numbers can be formed, if repetition of digits is not allowed.

Question 11.
How many numbers can be formed using the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 without repetition so that the resulting numbers are between 100 and 1000?
Solution:
A number between 100 and 1000 is a 3 digit number and is to be formed from the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, without repetition of digits.
∴ 100’s place digit must be a non-zero number which can be filled in 5 ways.
10’s place digits can be filled in 5 ways.
Unit’s place digit can be filled in 4 ways.
∴ total number of ways the number can be formed = 5 × 5 × 4 = 100
∴ 100 numbers between 100 and 1000 can be formed.

Question 12.
Find the number of 6-digit numbers using the digits 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 without repetition. How many of these numbers are
(i) divisible by 5?
(ii) not divisible by 5?
Solution:
A number of 6 different digits is to be formed from the digits 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 which can be done in ⁶P₆ i.e., 6! = 720 ways
(i) If the number is divisible by 5, then
The unit’s place digit must be 5, and hence unit’s place can be filled in 1 way
Other 5 digits can be arranged among themselves in ⁵P₅ i.e., 5! ways
∴ Total number of ways in which numbers divisible by 5 can be formed = 1 × 5! = 120

(ii) If the number is not divisible by 5, then
Unit’s place can be any digit from 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 which can be selected in 5 ways.
Other 5 digits can be arranged in ⁵P₅ i.e., 5! ways
∴ The total number of ways in which numbers not divisible by 5 can be formed = 5 × 5!
= 5 × 120
= 600

Question 13.
A code word is formed by two distinct English letters followed by two non-zero distinct digits. Find the number of such code words. Also, find the number of such code words that end with an even digit.
Solution:
(i) There is a total of 26 alphabets.
A code word contains 2 English alphabets.
∴ 2 alphabets can be filled in ²⁶P₂
= \(\frac{26 !}{(26-2) !}\)
= \(\frac{26 \times 25 \times 24 !}{24 !}\)
= 650 ways
Also, alphabets to be followed by two distinct non-zero digits from 1 to 9 which can be filled in ⁹P₂
= \(\frac{9 !}{(9-2) !}\)
= \(\frac{9 \times 8 \times 7 !}{7 !}\)
= 72 ways
∴ Total number of a code words = 650 × 72 = 46800

(ii) There are total 26 alphabets.
A code word contains 2 English alphabets.
∴ 2 alphabets can be filled in ²⁶P₂
= \(\frac{26}{(26-2) !}\)
= \(\frac{26 \times 25 \times 24 !}{24 !}\)
= 650 ways
For a code word to end with an even integer, the digit in the unit’s place should be an even number between 1 to 9 which can be filled in 4 ways.
Also, 10’s place can be filled in 8 ways.
∴ Total number of codewords = 650 × 4 × 8 = 20800 ways
∴ 20800 codewords end with an even integer.

Question 14.
Find the number of ways in which 5 letters can be posted in 3 post boxes if any number of letters can be posted in a post box.
Solution:
There are 5 letters and 3 post boxes and any number of letters can be posted in all three post boxes.
∴ Each letter can be posted in 3 ways.
∴ Total number of ways in which 5 letters can be posted = 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 243

Question 15.
Find the number of arranging 11 distinct objects taken 4 at a time so that a specified object
(i) always occurs
(ii) never occurs
Solution:
There are 11 distinct objects and 4 are to be taken at a time.
(i) The number of permutations of n distinct objects, taken r at a time, when one specified object will always occur is r × ^(n-1)P_(r-1)
Here, r = 4, n = 11
∴ The number of permutations of 4 out of 11 objects when a specified object occurs.
= 4 × ^(11-1)P_(4-1)
= 4 × ¹⁰P₃
= 4 × \(\frac{10 !}{(10-3) !}\)
= 4 × \(\frac{10 !}{7 !}\)
= 4 × \(\frac{10 \times 9 \times 8 \times 7 !}{7 !}\)
= 2880
∴ There are 2880 permutations of 11 distinct objects, taken 4 at a time, in which one specified object always occurs.

(ii) When one specified object does not occur then 4 things are to be arranged from the remaining 10 things, which can be done in ¹⁰P₄ ways
= 10 × 9 × 8 × 7 ways
= 5040 ways
∴ There are 5040 permutations of 11 distinct objects, taken 4 at a time, in which one specified object never occurs.
