(iii) 50 shares of face value ₹10 were purchased for market value of ₹25. Company declared 30% dividend on the shares, then find :

(1) Sum invested
(2) Dividend received
(3) Rate of return.

Solution:
No. of shares = 50
FV = ₹10
MV = ₹25
Rate of dividend = 30%

(1) Sum invested = No. of shares × MV
= 50 × 25
= ₹1250.

(2) Dividend received,
Dividend \(=\frac{\text { Rate of dividend }}{100}\) × FV
= \(\frac{30}{100}\) × 10
= ₹3
Total dividend = No. of shares × Dividend
= 50 × 3
= ₹150
Dividend received = ₹150.

(3) Rate of return,
Rate of return \(=\frac{\text { Dividend }}{\text { Sum invested }}\) × 100
= \(\frac{150}{1250}\) × 100
= \(\frac{1500}{125}\)
= 12%
Rate of dividend = 12%

Event A : To get a head and a prime number.
A = {H₂, H₃, H₅}
n(A) = 3
P(A) = \(\frac{n(\mathrm{~A})}{n(\mathrm{~S})}\) = \(\frac{3}{12}\) = \(\frac{1}{4}\)
Event B: To get a tail and an odd number.
B = {T₁, T₃, T₅)
n(B) = 3
P(B) = \(\frac{n(\mathrm{~B})}{n(\mathrm{~S})}\) = \(\frac{3}{12}\) = \(\frac{1}{4}\)
P(A) = \(\frac{1}{4}\)
P(B) = \(\frac{1}{4}\)

Question 4.
Solve the following subquestions (any two): [8]

(i) A tank can be filled up by two taps in 6 hours. The smaller tap alone takes 5 hours more than the bigger tap alone. Find the time required by each tap to fill the tank separately.
Solution:
Let bigger tap takes x hours to fill the tank and smaller tank takes x + 5 hours to fill the tank.
In one hour, Bigger tap takes \(\frac{1}{x}\) hours and smaller tap will take \(\frac{1}{x+5}\) hours and both the tap will take \(\frac{1}{6}\) hours to fill the tank.
According to the given condition,
\(\frac{1}{x}\) + \(\frac{1}{x+5}\) = \(\frac{1}{6}\)
\(\frac{x+5+x}{x(x+5)}\) = \(\frac{1}{6}\)
\(\frac{2 x+5}{x^2+5 x}\) = \(\frac{1}{6}\)
6(2x + 5) = x² + 5x
12x + 30 = x² + 5x
x² + 5x – 12x – 30 = 0
x² – 7x – 30 = 0
x² – 10x + 3x – 30 = 0
x(x – 10) + 3(x – 10) = 0
(x -10) (x + 3) = 0
x – 10 = 0 or (x + 3) = 0
x = 10 or x = – 3
But x ≠ -3
∴ Time cannot be negative.
Bigger tap, x = 10 hours
Smaller tap, x + 5 = 10 + 5 = 15 hours
Bigger tap takes 10 hours and smaller tap takes 15 hours to fill the tank.

(b) What is the amount spent on cricket ?
Solution:
(a) Let total amount spent on sports be x.
Central angle for football = 45°
Amount spent on football = 9,000
Central angle \(=\frac{\text { Amount spent on football } \times 360}{\text { Total amount spent on sports }}\)
45 = \(\frac{9,000}{x}\) × 360
x = \(\frac{9,000 \times 360}{45}\)
x = 200 × 360
x = 72,000
Total amount spent on sports is 72,000.

(b) Let a’mount spent on cricket by y.
Central angle for cricket = 160°
Total amount spent on sports ₹72,000
Central angle \(=\frac{\text { Amount spent on cricket }}{\text { Total amount spent on sports }}\) × 360
160 = \(\frac{y}{72,000}\) × 360
y = \(\frac{160 \times 72,000}{360}\)
y = ₹32,000
Amount spent on cricket is ₹32,000.
