Find the value of b if


This question was not on the typed doc but it was in the set 2 of 2013 exam.

Given,



Compare the corresponding elements to get,


a – b = -1


a = - 1 + b


2a – b = 0


So,


2(-1 + b) – b = 0


-2 + 2b – b = 0


-2 + b = 0


b = 2

A cooperative society of farmers has 50 hectares of land to grow two crops A and B. The profits from crops A and B per hectare are estimated as ₹10,500 and ₹9,000 respectively. To control weeds, a liquid herbicide has to be used for crops A and B at the rate of 20 litres and 10 litres per hectare, respectively. Further not more than 800 litres of herbicide should be used in order to protect fish and wildlife using a pond which collects drainage from this land. Keeping in mind that the protection of fish and other wildlife is more important than earning profit, how much land should be allocated to each crop so as to maximize the total profit? Form an LPP from the above and solve it graphically. Do you agree with the message that the protection of wildlife is utmost necessary to preserve the balance in environment?
