(c) A bag contain 3 red, 5 black and 6 white balls. A ball is drawn at a random. Find the
Probability that the ball drawn is (i) black (ii) not red (iii) either red or white . [3]
Sol:
(a) The selling price for Manan = Rs. 216 +Rs. 20
= Rs. 236
236 10
Rs.23.60
Tax charged = Rs.
100
So VAT = Rs. 23. 60
The value of invoice = Rs. 236 +Rs.23.60
Rs. 259.60
cost price for Rohan = 236
The selling price for Rohan = Rs. 236+Rs, 20
= Rs. 256
256 10
Tax charged = Rs.
Rs.25.60
100
So, VAT = Rs. 25.60 Rs. 23.60
=Rs. 2.00
The value of invoice = Rs. 256 +Rs. 25.60
=Rs. 281.60
Cost Price for Sohan = Rs. 256
The selling price of Sohan = Rs. 256 + Rs. 20
= Rs. 276
276 10
Tax charged = Rs.
100
=Rs. 27.60
VAT = Rs. 27.60 Rs. 25.60 = Rs. 2.00
The value of invoice = Rs. 276 + Rs. 27.60
=Rs. 303.60
10
Cost price for Mohan = Rs. 276

The selling price for Mohan = Rs. 276 + Rs. 20
=Rs. 296
296 10
Tax charged = Rs.
Rs.29.60
100
VAT =Rs. 29.60 Rs. 27.60 =Rs. 2.00
The value of invoice = Rs. 296+Rs. 29.60
=Rs. 325.60
So Total VAT =Rs. 23.60 3 2.00 Rs.29.60

Let ABC be the given triangle and AD be the angle bisector of A and PR be right bisector
of side BC, intersecting each other at P.
As P lies on right bisector of BC

So, 9 10 3600 1800

9 10 1800
Hence XUYW is a cyclic quadrilatral.

(c) A train covers a distance of 90km at a uniform speed. Had the speed been 15 km per hour
more, it would have taken 30 minute less for the journey . Find the original speed of the train.
[4]
Sol:
Total distance = 90km
Let original speed of the train be = x km/hr
Distence

Now the increased speed of the train

x x 60 45 x 60 0
Either x 60 0 or x 45 0
x 60 or x 45
Rejecting x 60 [as speed cannot be negative]
Hence original speed of the train = 45 km / hr
