When a coin is tossed three times, possible outcomes
and common difference, d = 3 are
∴ an = 112 HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH, TTT
⇒ a + (n − 1)d = 112 ∴ Total number of elementary events = 8

⇒ (n − 1)3 = 108 the same result i.e. all heads or all tails. (1)
⇒ n − 1 = 36 So, favourable outcomes are
⇒ n = 36 + 1 = 37 HHT, HTH, THH, TTH, HTT, THT
Hence, the given sequence contains 37 terms. ∴ Favourable number of elementary events = 6

OD ⊥ BD
⇒ x 2 − 18x + 12 x − 216 = 0
⇒ OD ⊥ BE

N 80 p(−2 ) = (−2 )2 + 5(−2 ) + 6
∴ = = 40
2 2 = 4 − 10 + 6 = 10 − 10 = 0
Since, cumulative frequency just greater than 35 is 75 So, −2 is the zero of p(x ).
and the corresponding class interval is 40-50. Now, p(−3) = (−3)2 + 5(−3) + 6
∴ Median class = 40-50 = 9 − 15 + 6 = 15 − 15 = 0
∴ l = 40, cf = 35, h = 10 and f = 40 So, −3 is the zero of p(x ).

20 (ii) Volume of cuboidal shape = lbh = 8 × 6 × 4 = 192 m 3
= 40 + × 10 = 40 + 3.6 = 43.6 units
55 (iii) Here, radius of hemispherical dome (r ) = 14 m
37. (i) Parabola
Surface area of dome = 2 πr 2
(ii) Since, the graph intersects the X-axis at −2 and 7, so 22
the zeroes of the given polynomial are −2 and 7. =2× × 14 × 14 = 1232 m 2

(iii) (a) Let p(x ) = x 2 − 5x − 5
and CSA of cuboidal shaped top = 2 × h(l + b) + lb
p(−2 ) = (−2 )2 − 5(−2 ) − 5
= 2 × 4(8 + 6) + 8 × 6
= 4 + 10 − 5 = 14 − 5 = 9 ≠ 0
= 8(14) + 48
So, −2 is not the zero of p(x ).
= 112 + 48 = 160 m 2
(b) Let p(x ) = x 2 + 5x − 6
p(−2 ) = (−2 )2 + 5(−2 ) − 6 ∴Total surface area = 1232 + 160 = 1392 m 2
= 4 − 10 − 6 = 4 − 16 = −12 ≠ 0 Or
So, −2 is not the zero of p(x ). Given, radius (r ) = 14 m

= 4 − 12 − 5 = 4 − 17 = −13 ≠ 0 ∴ Cost of cloth required = ` 80 ×1232 = ` 98560
So, −2 is not the zero of p(x ).
