SECTION E
This section contains three Case-study / Passage based questions.
First two questions have three sub-parts (i), (ii) and (iii) of marks 1, 1 and 2 respectively.
Third question has two sub-parts of 2 marks each.
36. CASE STUDY I : Read the following passage and the answer the questions given below.
Manjit wants to donate a rectangular plot of land for a school in his village.
When he was asked to give dimensions of the plot, he told that :
If its length is decreased by 50 m and breadth is increased by 50 m, then its area will
remain same,
If length is decreased by 10 m and breadth is decreased by 20 m, then its area will
decrease by 5300 m2.
(i) Assume that the length and breadth of the land be x and y (in metres) respectively. Find the
equations in terms of x and y.
(ii) Using matrices, represent the linear equations obtained above in (i).
(iii) Using matrices, determine the dimensions of the land (in metres). Also write the area of the
rectangular plot of land (in square metres).
OR
(iii) Suppose that, Manjit gave the information about his plot in the following manner :
If its length is decreased by 50 m and breadth is increased by 50 m, then its area will remain the same,
but if length is decreased by 20 m and breadth is decreased by 10 m, then its area will be decreased by
4800 m2. In this situation, what will be dimensions of the plot? Assume that the length and breadth of
the land be x and y (in metres) respectively. Use matrices.
37. CASE STUDY II : Read the following passage and answer the questions given below.
A tank, as shown in the figure below, formed using a combination of a cylinder and a cone,
offers better drainage as compared to a flat bottomed tank.
A tap is connected to such a tank whose conical part is full
of water. Water is dripping out from a tap at the bottom at
the uniform rate of 2 cm3 /s.

(i) Find the volume of water in the tank in terms of its radius r .
