Question 3:

(a) Solve the equation for x:

(b) A, B and C represent switches in ‘on’ position and A’, B’ and C’ represent them in ‘off’ position. Construct a switching circuit representing the polynomial ABC + AB’C + A’B’C. Using Boolean Algebra, prove that the given polynomial can be simplified to C(A + B’). Construct an equivalent switching circuit.

Answer: (a)

ISC Class 12 Maths Question Paper Solution 2015-13

(b) ABC+AB’C +A’B’C

= ACB+ACB’ + A’B’C

=AC ( B+B’) + A’B’C (B+B’ =1)

= AC + A’B’C

= (A+A’B’)C

=(A+A’)(A+B’) C

= (A+B’) C

Question 11:

(a) Find the equation of the plane passing through the intersection of the planes:

x + y + z +1 = 0 and 2x – 3y + 5z – 2 = 0 and the point ( 1, 2, 1).

(b)

ISC Class 12 Maths Question Paper Solution 2015-30

Answer: (a) Equation of plane passing through the intersection of the given planes is:

(x + y + z + 1) + k(2x -3y + 5z- 2) = 0

If this plane passes through (-1,2,1) then

(-1+2+1+1) + k( -2 – 6 + 5 -2) = 0

3 = 5k

K = 3/5

5(x+y+z+1) + 3(2x-3y+5z -2) = 0

11x- 4y + 20z -1=0

Question 12:

(a) Box I contains two white and three black balls. Box II contains four white and one black balls and box III contains three white and four black balls. A dice having three red, two yellow and one green face, is thrown to select the box. If red face turns up, we pick up box I, if a yellow face turns up we pick up box II, otherwise, we pick up box III. Then, we draw a ball from the selected box. If the ball drawn is white, what is the probability that the dice had turned up with a red face?

(b) Five dice are thrown simultaneously. If the occurrence of an odd number in a single dice is considered a success, find the probability of maximum three successes.

Question 14:

(a) A bill for ₹ 7,650 was drawn on 8th March, 2013, at 7 months. It was discounted on 18th May, 2013 and the holder of the bill received ₹ 7,497. What is the rate of interest charged by the bank?

(b) The average cost function, AC for a commodity is given by AC = x + 5 + 36/x, in terms of output x. Find:

(i) The total cost, C and marginal cost, MC as a function of x.

(ii) The outputs for which AC increases.

Answer: (a) Face value of the bill= ₹ 7650 = A

Discounted value of the bill = ₹ 7497

Bankers discount = (7650 – 7497)

= ₹153

Nominal due date is 8th October (∴ 8th October + 3 days of grace).

Legal due date of the bill is 11 October

Number of unexpired days from 8 May to 11 October is 146 days n = (2/5)year

Bankers discount = Ani

153 = 7650 x r x (2/5)

r =(1/20) = 0.05 r = 5%
