The given problem requires the total weight of 10 poles, each of same weight. We
c
check the given statements for evaluation of the total weight.
Statement I

Given that one forth of weight of a pole is 5 kg.
d
Let weight of a pole = x kg
o
So, x = 5
n

.
x = 20 kg
w
Hence, total weight of 10 poles = 10x
= 200 kg
Statement II
w
w
The total weight of 10 poles is 160 kg more than the total weight of two poles.
©
Let weight of a pole = x kg
So, total weight of 10 poles = 10x
Therefore, 10x = 2x + 160
i n
8x = 160

Hence,
x = 20 kg
total weight of 10 poles = 10x
o.

w
f ^x h = 1 − x -1 # x # 1
©
Given
Since, x > 0 , for all x
So, x can take minimum value of 0 and maximum value of 1. Also, on increasing
value of x , value of f ^x h decreases. At x = 0 , we obtain
f ^x h = 1 − x
= 1 − 0 = 1 (function has maximum value)
Again, at x = 1, we obtain
f ^x h = 1 − x
= 1 − 1 = 0 (function has minimum value)
Thus, at x = 0 value of f ^x h is maximum and at x = 1 value of f ^x h is minimum.

Q. 5 We ______ our friend’s birthday and we ______ how to make it up to him.

if ^p # q h > ^r # s h

if ^r # s h > ^p # q h

So, we obtain

Therefore, we get

fg ^h ^2, 5, 7, 3h, 4, 6, 8h = fg ^1, 4, 6, 8h

Again, we have
f ^p, q, r, s h = max ^p, q, r, s h

If the list of letters P, R, S, T, U is an arithmetic sequence, which of the following

(II) P - 3, R - 3, S - 3, T - 3, U - 3
(III) P2, R2, S2, T2, U2

(A) I only (B) I and II
(C) II and III (D) I and III
Here, P, R, S, T, U are in A.P. So, the difference between two consecutive numbers
will be equal, i.e.
d = R − P = S − R = T − S = U − T

where d is common difference for the given A.P. Now, we check the given sequences
Sequence I
2P , 2R , 2S , 2T , 2U
The differences between two consecutive numbers are obtained as
D = 2R − 2P = 2 ^R − P h = 2d

D = 2S − 2R = 2 ^S − Rh = 2d

c o
D = 2T − 2S = 2 ^T − S h = 2d

w

Again, the differences are same in each case, so it is in A.P.

D = R2 − P2 = ^R − P h^R + P h

D = S 2 − R2 = ^S − Rh^S + Rh
. c
In this case, the differences are not same, so it is not in A.P.
a
Thus, sequences I and II will be in A.P.

Let

If g and h are differentiable, then it will satisfy L-R equation. So, we have
gux = gvy , guy =− gvx
and hux = hvy , huy =− hvx
Therefore, f ^z h = _gu ^z h + hu ^z hi + j _gv ^z h + hv ^z hi
By observing the above equations, we get
^gux + hux h = ^gvy + hvy h ...(1)
^guy + huy h =−^gvx + hvx h ...(2)
Hence, from equations (1) and (2), f ^z h is differentiable (because it satisfies L-R
equation).

(C) i1 = 0A, i2 = 1/ 3A (D) i1 = 1/ 3 A, i2 = 1/ 3A


Given that 3-phase transformer 33/11 kV is connected in delta-star connection.

So, Total demand = 120 + 130 = 250 MW
