CBSE Previous Year Question Papers Class 12 Maths 2017 Delhi Set I

Section – A

Question 1.
If A is a 3 × 3 invertible matrix, then what will be the value of k if det (A^-1) = (det A)^k. [1] Solution:
Given, A is an invertible matrix.
∴ A. A^-1 = I
⇒ det (A.A^-1) = det (I)
⇒ det (A).det(A^-1) = 1 [ ∵ det(I) = 1] ⇒ det (A), (det A)^k = 1 [∵ det(A^-1)=(det A)^k]
on comparing both sides, we get
k = -1

Question 2.
Determine the value of the constant ‘k’ so that the function f(x) = \(\left\{\begin{array}{l}{\frac{k x}{|x|}, \text { if } x<0} \\ {3, \text { if } x \geq 0}\end{array}\right.\) is continuous at x = 0. [1] Solution:
Given, that the function is continuous

Question 3.
Evaluate: \(\int_{2}^{3} 3^{x} d x\). [1] Solution:

Question 4.
If a line makes angles 90° and 60° respectively with the positive directions of X and Y-axes, find the angle which it makes with the positive direction of Z-axis. [1] Solution:
We know that:
l² + m² + n² = 1 …(i)
and l = cos α, m = cos β, n = cos γ
Given, α = 90°, β = 60°
∴ cos α = cos 90° = 0 and cos β = cos 60° = \(\frac{1}{2}\)

Section – B

Question 5.
Show that all the diagonal elements of a skew symmetric matrix are zero. [2] Solution:

Hence, all the diagonal elements of a skew, symmetric matrix are zero (as diagonal elements are : a₁₁; a₂₂, …….. a_nn). Hence Proved.

Question 6.
Find \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) at x = 1, y = \(\frac{\pi}{4}\) if sin² y + cos xy = K. [2] Solution:
Given, sin² y + cos xy = K
Differentiating both sides w.r.t x, we get

Question 7.
The volume of a sphere is increasing at the rate of 3 cubic centimetre per second. Find the rate of increase of its surface area, when the radius is 2 cm. [2] Solution:
Let V be the volume and r be the radius of sphere at any time t.

∴ Rate of increase of surface area of the sphere is 3 square centimetre per second.

Question 8.
Show that the function f(x) = 4x³ – 18x² + 27x – 7 is always increasing on R. [2] Solution:
Given, f(x)= 4x³ – 18x² + 27x – 7
Differentiating f(x) w.r.t. x, we get
f'(x) = 12x² – 36x + 27 = 3(4x² – 12x + 9)
= 3(2x – 3)² for any x ϵ R
3 > 0 and (2x – 3)² ≥ 0
∴ f'(x) ≥ o
⇒ The fimction is always increasing on R.

Question 9.
Find the vector equation of the line passing through the point A(1, 2, -1) and parallel to the line 5x – 25 = 14 – 7y = 35z. [2] Solution:
Given line is 5x – 25 = 14 – 7y = 35z

∴ Vector equation of the line which passes through the point A (1, 2, – 1) and its direction ratio are proportional to 7, – 5, 1 is

Question 10.
Prove that if E and F are independent events, then the events E and F’ are also independent. [2] Solution:
Since E and F are independent events :
P(E ∩ F) = P (E) . P (F) …(i)
P(E ∩ F’) = P (E) – P (E ∩ F)
= P (E) – P (E) P (F) [From (i)] = P(E)(1 – P(F))
= P (E) P (F’)
∴ E and F’ are also independent. Hence Proved.

Question 11.
A small firm manufactures necklaces and bracelets. The total number of necklaces and bracelets that it can handle per day is at most 24. It takes one hour to make a bracelet and half an hour to make a necklace. The maximum number of hours available per day is 16. If the profit on a necklace is ₹ 100 and that on a bracelet is ₹ 300. Formulate an L.P.P. for finding how many of each should be produced daily to maximize the profit ? It is being given that at least one of each must be produced. [2] Solution:
Let the manufacturer produces x pieces of necklaces and y pieces of bracelets.
Since total number of necklaces and bracelets that can be handle per day are 24.
so, x + y ≤ 24 …(i)
To make bracelet one needs one hour and half an hour is need to make necklace and maximum time available is 16 hours
so, \(\frac{1}{2}\)x + y ≤ 16 ….(ii)
Now, let Z be the profit and we have to maximize it, so our LPP will be
Maximize Z = 100x + 300y
Subject to constraints :
x + y ≤ 24
\(\frac{1}{2}\) x + y ≤ 16
or x + 2y ≤ 32
and x, y ≥ 1

Question 22.
Often it is taken that a truthful person commands, more respect in the society. A man is known to speak the truth 4 out of 5 times. He throws a die and reports that it is a six. Find the probability that it is actually a six.
Do you also agree that the value of truthfulness leads to more respect in the society ? [4] Solution:
Let E₁, E₂ and A be the events defined as follows:
E₁ = Six appears on throwing a die.
E₂ = Six does not appear on throwing a die.
and A = the man reports that it is a six We have,

Now P(A/E₁) = Probability that the man reports that there is a six on the die given that six has occurred on the die = 4/5 (probability that the man speaks truth)
and P(A/E₂) = Probability that the man reports that there is a six on the die given that six has not occurred on the die (probability that the man does not speak truth).

Yes, truthfulness always leads to more respect in the society as truth always wins.
