Also, f(1) = f(2) = 0 and hence, the values of f(x) at 1 and 2 coincide.

17. A diet for a sick person must contain at least 4000 units of vitamins, 50 units of
minerals and 1400 calories. Two foods X and Y are available at a cost of Rs 4 and Rs 3
per unit respectively. One unit of the food X contains 200 units of vitamins, 1 unit of
minerals and 40 calories, whereas one unit of food Y contains 100 units of vitamins, 2
units of minerals and 40 calories. Find what combination of X and Y should be used to
have least cost, satisfying the requirements.
[CBSE 2004]
Ans. Let x units of food X and y units of food Y are used.
Since food X costs Rs 4 per unit and food Y costs Rs 3 per unit, the total cost
of x units of food X and y units of food Y is Rs (4x + 3y).
Let Z denote the total cost. Then, Z = 4x + 3y
Since each unit of food X contains 200 units of vitamins, x units of food X will
contain 200x units of vitamins. Also, each unit of food Y contains 100 units of
vitamins. Therefore, y units of food Y will contain 100y units of vitamins. However,
the minimum requirement of vitamins is 4000 units. Therefore, we have
200x + 100y ≥ 4000
Or, 2x + y ≥ 40
Similarly, the total units of minerals in x units of food X and y units of food Y is x +
2y. However, the minimum requirement of minerals is 50 units. Therefore, we have
x + 2y ≥ 50
Finally, the total calories in x units of food X and y units of food Y is 40x + 40y.
However, the minimum requirement of calories is 1400. Therefore, we have
40x + 40y ≥ 1400 i.e., x + y ≥ 35
Clearly, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0
Thus, the mathematical formulation of the problem is
Minimize Z = 4x + 3y subject to
2x + y ≥ 40
x + 2y ≥ 50
x + y ≥ 35
x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0
The feasible region determined by the system of constraints is as follows:
The coordinates of the vertices (corner points) of shaded feasible region are A (50, 0), B
(20, 15), C (5, 30), and D (0, 40).
The values of Z at these corner points are as follows:
Corner points
Z = 4x + 3y
A (50, 0)
200
B (20, 15)
125
C (5, 30)
110
D (0, 40)
120
→ Minimum
It is observed that the feasible region is unbounded. It is clear that if we draw the
inequality 4x + 3y < 110, there are no points in common with the feasible region.
Therefore, Z is minimum at x = 5 and y = 30.
Thus, the cost will be minimum (which is Rs 110) when 5 units of food X and 30 units of
food
Y
are
used.
18. Using integration find the area of the triangular region whose sides have the
equations y = 2x +1, y = 3x + 1 and x = 4.
Ans. The equations of sides of the triangle are y = 2x +1, y = 3x + 1, and x = 4.
On solving these equations, we obtain the vertices of triangle as A(0, 1), B(4, 13), and C
(4,

23. A diet for a sick person must contain at least 4000 units of vitamins, 50 units of
minerals and 1400 calories. Two foods X and Y are available at a cost of Rs 4 and Rs
3 per unit respectively. One unit of the food X contains 200 units of vitamins, 1 unit of
minerals and 40 calories, whereas one unit of food Y contains 100 units of vitamins, 2
units of minerals and 40 calories. Find what combination of X and Y should be used to
have least cost, satisfying the requirements.
Sol. Let x units of food X and y units of food Y are used.
Since food X costs Rs 4 per unit and food Y costs Rs 3 per unit, the total cost of x units
of food X and y units of food Y is Rs (4x + 3y).
Let Z denote the total cost. Then, Z = 4x + 3y
Since each unit of food X contains 200 units of vitamins, x units of food X will contain
200x units of vitamins. Also, each unit of food Y contains 100 units of vitamins.
Therefore, y units of food Y will contain 100y units of vitamins. However, the minimum
requirement of vitamins is 4000 units. Therefore, we have
200x +
Or, 2x + y ≥ 40
100y ≥
4000
Similarly, the total units of minerals in x units of food X and y units of food Y is x + 2y.
However, the minimum requirement of minerals is 50 units. Therefore, we have
x + 2y ≥ 50
Finally, the total calories in x units of food X and y units of food Y is 40x + 40y.
However, the minimum requirement of calories is 1400. Therefore, we have
40x + 40y ≥ 1400 i.e., x + y ≥ 35
Clearly, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0

The feasible region determined by the system of constraints is as follows:
The coordinates of the vertices (corner points) of shaded feasible region are A (50, 0),
B (20, 15), C (5, 30), and D (0, 40).
The values of Z at these corner points are as follows:
Corner points Z = 4x + 3y

B (20, 15)

C (5, 30)

D (0, 40)
120
It is observed that the feasible region is unbounded. It is clear that if we draw the
inequality 4x + 3y < 110, there are no points in common with the feasible region.
Therefore, Z is minimum at x = 5 and y = 30.
Thus, the cost will be minimum (which is Rs 110) when 5 units of food X and 30 units
of food Y are used.

3z − 4 = 0 and 2x + y − z + 5 = 0 is
(x + 2y + 3z − 4) + λ (2x + y − z + 5) = 0, where λ is a constant

respectively are defective nuts. A nut is drawn at random from the product and is found
to be defective. Find the probability that it is manufactured by machine B.

B1:

P (B3) = Probability that the nut drawn is manufactured by machine C = 40% = 0.40
Let E be the event that the nut is defective.
Now, the probability that the bolt drawn is defective given that it is manufactured by
machine A is given to be 5%.
∴ P(E|B1) = 5% = 0.05
Similarly, we have
P(E|B2) = 4% = 0.04 and P(E|B3) = 2% = 0.02
The required probability that the nut is manufactured by machine B given that it is
defective is given by P(B2 | E).
Using
