on the ground and R be a relation on L.

37. Steel can, tin can, tin, steel packaging, or can is a container for the distribution or storage of
goods, made of thin metal. Many cans require opening by cutting the “end” open: others have
removable covers. They can store a broad variety of contents: food, beverages, oil, chemicals, etc.

A tin can manufacturer a cylindrical tin can for a company making sanitizer and disinfector. The
tin can is made to hold 3 litres of sanitizer or disinfector.

Based on the above information, answer the following questions.
(i) If r be the radius and h be the height of the cylindrical tin can, find the surface area expressed
as a function of r. (1)

38. Mahesh runs a form processing agency. He collects form from different office and then extract
data and record data on computer. In his office three employees Vikas, Sarita and Ishaan process
incoming copies of a form. Vikas processes 50% of the forms. Sarita processes 20% and Ishaan
the remaining 30% of the forms. Vikas has an error rate of 0.06. Sarita has an error rate of 0.04
and Ishaan has an error rate of 0.03.

Based on the above information answer the following questions,

(i) The total probability of committing an error in processing the form. (2)
(ii) The manager of the company wants to do a quality check. During inspection he selects a
form at random from the days output of processed forms. If the form selected at random has an
error, the probability that the form is not processed by Vikas. (2)
