Case study based questions are compulsory.

36. Case Study – 1

Resident Welfare Association (RWA) of

Gulmohar society in Delhi has installed three
electric poles A, B and C in the society’s common
park. Despite these three poles, some parts of the
park are still in dark. So they decide to have more
poles in the park. The park can be modelled as a
co-ordinate system as shown in the figure.

Based on the above information answer the following questions.

(i) What is the distance of the pole B from the corner O of the 1
park?
(ii) Find the coordinates of the fourth pole D so that the points A, 1
B, C and D taken in order form a parallelogram.
(iii) Find the relation between x and y such that E ( x , y ) is 2
equidistant form A and C.

[OR]

Find the ratio in which P (4, m) divides the line segment

joining A and C. Hence find m

37. Case Study – 2

India is one of the competitive manufacturing location, low
cost and manpower contributing to higher quality production
runs. The production of TV sets in a factory increases
uniformly by a fixed number every year. It produced 16,000
sets in its 6th year and 22,600 in the 9th year.

Based on the above information answer the following questions.

(i) Find the production of TV sets during the first year. 1
(ii) How many TV sets were produced during the 8th year? 1
(iii) Find the total number of TV sets produced in the first 7 years. 2

[OR]

In which year the production of TV sets was 29,200?

38. Case Study – 3

Friends Forever: Ramu and Somu are best friends. One
day Ramu had to go overseas for higher studies by ship.
Two ships C and D are on either side of a light house AB
in such a way that the ships and the light house are in the
same straight line. Ramu standing on the deck of ship C
which is 10 m above the water level, waves to Somu
standing on the top of the light house at an angle of
elevation of 30. Distance between Ramu and Somu is
100 m. Somu observes ship D at an angle of depression
of 60.(Use 3 = 1.73).

Based on the above information answer the following questions

(i) Draw a neat labelled figure to show the above situation 1
diagrammatically.
(ii) Find the height of the light house. 1
(iii) Find the distance between the ships. 2

[OR]

Find the distance between Somu and the ship D.
