Question 20)
The annual income of Seema (excluding HRA) is Rs. 1,60,000. She contributes Rs. 5000 per month to her provident fund and pays a half yearly insurance premium of Rs. 5000. Calculate the income tax along with surcharge Seema has to pay in the last month of the year if her earlier deductions as income tax for the first 11 months were at the rate of Rs. 400 per month. (Marks 4)

Assume the following for calculating income tax :
(a) Standard Deduction 1/3 of the total income subject to a maximum of Rs. 20,000 (Rs. 25,000 if income is less than Rs. 1 lac) (b) Rates of Income tax Slab (i) Upto Rs. 50,000 (ii) From Rs. 50,001 to 60,000 (iii) From Rs. 60,001 to Rs. 1,50,000 (iv) From Rs. 1,50,001 onwards Income Tax Nil 10% of the amount exceeds Rs. 50,000 Rs. 1000 + 20% of the amount exceeding Rs. 60,000 Rs. 19,000 + 30% of the amount exceeding Rs. 1,50,000 (c) Rebate in Tax 20% of the total savings subject to a maximum of Rs. 12,000 (d) Surcharge 10% of the tax payable

Answer 1)
For what value of k will the following system of linear equations have an infinite number of solutions : 2x + 3y = 2; (k + 2)x + (2k + 1)y = 2(k - 1) ? (Marks 2)
2x + 3y = 2 ........................... (i)
(k + 2)x + (2k + 1)y = 2(k - 1) ....... (ii)
(ii) cab represented as follow:
((k + 2)/(k - 1))x + ((2k + 1)/(k - 1))y = 2 ....... (iii)
(i) and (iii) can have infinite number of solution if
==> ((k + 2)/(k - 1))/2 = ((2k + 1)/(k - 1))/3
==> (k + 2)/(2(k - 1)) = (2k + 1)/(3(k - 1))
==> 3(k + 2) = 2(2k + 1)
==> 3k + 6 = 4k + 2
==> k = 4
 

Answer 2)
Find whether the number 6, 10, 14 and 22 are in proportional or not. If not what number be added to each number so that they become proportional ?

6, 10, 14 and 22 are in proportional
==> if 6/10 is equal to 14/22
==> 6 x 22 = 132
==> 10 x 14 = 140
==> As 132 and 140 are not equal so 6, 10, 14 and 22 are NOT in proportional
Assume that if number "n" is added to each number, then 6, 10, 14 and 22 become proportional.
==> (6 + n)/(10 + n) = (14 + n)/(22 + n)
==> (6 + n)(22 + n) = (14 + n)(10 + n)
==> n2 + 28n + 132 = n2 + 24n + 140
==> 4n = 8
==> n = 2
==> So number 2 can be added to each number so that they become proportional.

Answer 3)
Reduce the following relation expression into lowest form: (x4 - 10x2 + 9)/(x3 + 4x2 + 3x)
==> (x4 - 9x2 - x2 + 9)/(x3 + 3x2 + x2 + 3x)
==> ((x4 - 9x2 - x2 + 9)) / ((x3 + 3x2 + x2 + 3x))
==> (x2(x2 - 9) - (x2 - 9)) / ( x(x2 + 3x) + (x2 + 3x) )
==> (x2(x2 - 9) - (x2 - 9)) / ( x(x2 + 3x) + (x2 + 3x) )
( (x2 - 1) (x2 - 9) ) / ( (x + 1)(x2 + 3x) ) ==> ( (x + 1)(x - 1)(x + 3)(x - 3) ) / ( x(x + 1)(x + 3) )
==> ( (x - 1)(x - 3) ) / (x)
==> (x2 - 4x + 3) / (x)
Answer 4) Solve for x and y ax + by = a - b - (i) bx - ay = a + b - (ii)

Multiply (i) by b and multiply (ii) by a
==> abx + b2y = ab - b2 ............(iii)
==> abx - a2y = a2 + ab ............(iv)
==> Subtract (iii) and (iv)
==> b2y + a2y = - b2 - a2
==> y(b2 + a2) = -(b2 + a2)
==> y = -1
==> Substitue the vale of y in (i)
==> ax - b = a - b
==> ax = a
==> x = 1
 

Answer 5) Find the value of k such that sum of the roots of the quadratic equation 3x2 + (2k + 1)x - (k + 5) = 0 is equal to the product of its roots. (Marks 2)

Sum of the roots = -(2k + 1)/3
Product of the roots = -(k + 5)/3
==> So -(2k + 1)/3 = -(k + 5)/3
=> -2k - 1 = -k - 5
=> k = 4

Answer 6) Find two consecutive numbers, whose square have sum 85.

Assume that the two consecutive numbers are n and n+1
==> n2 + (n+1)2 = 85
==> n2 + n2 + 2n + 1 = 85
==> 2n2 + 2n -84 = 0
==> n2 + n - 42 = 0
==> n2 + 7n - 6n - 42 = 0
==> n(n + 7) -6(n + 7) = 0
==> (n - 6)(n + 7) = 0
==> n = 6 or n = -7
==> So the two consecutive numbers are 6,7 OR -7, -6
 

Answer 7) Without using trignometric table, show that: tan 7o . tan 23o . tan 60o . tan 67o . tan 83o = Ö3

(Left hand side) (LHS) = tan 7o . tan 23o . tan 60o . tan 67o . tan 83o
(Right hand side) (RHS) = 3
LHS = tan 7o . tan 23o . tan 60o . tan 67o . tan 83o
==> tan(90o - 83o) . tan(90o - 67o) . tan 60o . tan 67o . tan 83o
==> cot83o . cot67o . tan 60o . tan 67o . tan 83o
==> 1/(tan83o) . 1/(tan67o) . tan 60o . tan 67o . tan 83o
==> tan 60o
==> Ö3
==> Therefore LHS = RHS (proved)
 

Answer 8) Show that (sinq - 2sin3q )/(2cos3q - cosq ) = tanq . (Marks 2)

L.H.S = (sinq - 2sin3q )/(2cos3q - cosq )
R.H.S = tanq
==> L.H.S = (sinq - 2sin3q )/(2cos3q - cosq )
==> L.H.S = ((sinq)(1 - 2sin2q )/((cosq)(2cos2q - 1 )
==> L.H.S = ((sinq)(1 - sin2q - sin2q)/((cosq)(cos2q + cos2q - 1 )
==> L.H.S = ((sinq)(cos2q - sin2q)/((cosq)(cos2q - sin2q )
==> L.H.S = ((sinq)(cos2q - sin2q)/((cosq)(cos2q - sin2q )
==> L.H.S = (sinq)/(cosq)
==> L.H.S = tanq = R.H.S
 

Answer 12) Rita purchased a car, with a market price of Rs. 2,10,000 at a discount of 5%. If the sales tax charged at 10%, find the amount Rita had to pay for purchasing the car. (Marks 2)

Assume that Rita had to pay amount y for purchasing the car
Market price of the car = 210000
Discount (@5%) = (5/100)x210000 = Rs 10500
Price of car before sales tax = 210000 - 10500 = Rs 199500
Sales tax @10%) = (10/100)x199500 = Rs 19950
Price of car after sales tax = 199500 + 19950 = Rs 219450
 

Answer 13) The mean weight of 21 students of a class is 52 kg. If the mean weight of first 11 students of the class is 50 kg and that of last 11 students is 54 kg, find the weight of the 11th student.

Assume the weight of 11th student is n.
Total weight of first 11 student = 11 x 50 = 550
Total weight of first 11 student = 11 x 54 = 594
Total weight of first 21 student = 21 x 52 = 1092
==> 550 + 594 = 1092 + n
==> n = 52
==> So weight of the 11th student is 52
 

Answer 14) The following data has been arranged in ascending order: 12, 14, 17, 21, x, 26, 28, 32, 36. If the median of the data is 23, find x. If 32 is changed to 23, find the new median. (Marks 2)

Number of observations n = 10
Median = (5th observation + 6th observation)/2
==> 23 = (22 + x)/2
==> x = 24
If 32 is changed to 23
then median = (22 + 23)/2
==> median = 45/2 = 22.5

Answer 17) A part of monthly hostel charges in a college are fixed and the remaining depends on the number of days one has taken food in the mess. When a student A takes food for 20 days, he has to pay Rs. 1000 as hostel charges where as a student B, who takes food for 26 days, pays Rs. 1180 as hostel charges. Find the fixed charge and the cost of food per day. (Marks 4)
Assume the fixed charges of hostel is = p
Assume cost of food per day is = v
So charges for student A = p + 20v = 1000 .................(i)
Charges for student B = p + 26v = 1180 .................(i)
Subtract (ii) - (i)
6v = 180
==> v = 30
Substitute the value of v in equation (i)
==> p + 600 = 1000
==> p = 400
==> So Fixed charge = p = Rs 400.00 , and cost of food per day = v = Rs 30.00
 

Answer 18) Find the value of a and b so that the polynomials p(x) and q(x) have (x + 1)(x - 2) as their HCF. p(x) = (x2 + 3x + 2)(x2 + x + a) q(x) = (x2 - 3x + 2)(x2 - 3x + b) (Marks 4)

p(x) = (x2 + 3x + 2)(x2 + x + a)
q(x) = (x2 - 3x + 2)(x2 - 3x + b)
==> x - 2 is a factor of x2 + x + a => 4 + 2 + a = 0
==> a = -6
x + 1 is a factor of x2 - 3x + b => 1 + 3 + b = 0 ==> b = -4
==> a = -6, b = -4

Question 19)
A page of pass book of Ved is given below :-
 

Find the interest Ved gets for the period March, 98 to Dec.' 98 at 5% per annum simple interest.  (Marks 4)

Answer 19)
 

Total Principal = Rs. 71,300
Interest = Rs. (71,300 x 5 x 1)/(100 x 12)
= Rs. 297.08

Answer 20 )
Annual Income = Rs. 1,60,000, Standard Deduction = Rs. 20,000
Taxable Income = Rs. 1,60,000 - Rs. 20,000 = Rs. 1,40,000
Income Tax = Rs. 1,000 + Rs. 16000 = Rs. 17,000
Total Saving = 5000 x 12 + 5000 x 2 = 60,000 + 10,000 = Rs. 70,000
Rebate = Rs. 12,000
Income Tax payable = Rs. 17,000 - Rs. 12,000 = Rs. 5000
Total Income tax, including surcharge = 5000 + 10/100 x 5000 = Rs. 5500
Advance tax paid = 11 x 400 = Rs. 4400
Income Tax payable in the last month = Rs. 1100
