[b] There are 15 points with integer coordinates as shown [c] the line y = x +3 passes through (2,4) and (4,5) [d] 5x+4y has maximum value 47 when x = 7

2. [Maximum marks : 5] Consider the production of 2-drawer and 5-drawer filing cabinets. We only have 34 drawers, 8 locks, and 42 square meters of sheet metal available. Each 2-drawer cabinet requires 1 lock and 2 square meters of sheet metal, while each 5-drawer cabinet requires 1 lock and 4 m2 of sheet metal. Let the number of 2-drawer filing cabinets made and drawer filing cabinets made of be

be the number of 5-

be the number of 5-drawer filing cabinets

made. List the constraints connecting

Answer:

Type 2- drawer 5-drawer

Number of cabinets x y

Locks per cabinet 1 1

Metal per cabinet 2m2 4m2

Since we cannot make negative cabinets.

The total number of drawers : The total number of locks :

The total number of m2 metal :

3. [Maximum marks : 6] The or time for one completed swing of a pendulum is directly

proportional to the square root of its length. When the length is 25 cm, the period is 1.00 seconds. [a] If the length is 70 cm, find the period to 2 decimal places. [3marks] [b] What would the length be for a period of 2 seconds? [3marks]

Answer: [a] Period is 1.67 seconds [b] Length 100 cm

4. [Maximum marks : 5] The velocity V of a body travelling a fixed distance is inversely proportional to the time taken t to complete the journey. When the velocity is 40cm/s, the time taken is 280 seconds. Find the time when the velocity is 50 cm/s.
