Question 1

Find the value of x and y if
[ 3 ( x −1 )−2 y

√ 16
2 =
x +3 ][
M −2
4 R ]
Solution

−4

[ 3 ( x −1 )−2 y

√ 16
2 =
x +3 ][
9 −2
4 3 ]
Now by comparing
3x - 3 - 2y = 9 ……….. (1)
x + 3 = 3 ………. (2)
Now by multiplying equation (2) by ‘3’
3x + 9 = 9 …… (3)
Now adding equation (3) and (1), we get
3x – 3 – 2y = 9
3x + 9 = 9
__+_____________________
-12 – 2y = 18
Now simplifying the above equation, we get
-12 -2y = 18
-2y = 18 + 12
y = - 15
Now putting the value of y in equation (1), we get
3x – 3 – 2y = 9
3x -3 – 2(- 15¿=9
3x – 3 + 30 = 9
3x + 27 = 9
3x = 9 - 27
 3x = -18
x = -6
So the values of x and y is -6 and -15 respectively.

Expand through 1st column

=1 |33 19|−8|93 29P|+ (−P )|93 21P|

= 1 (27 – 3) – 8 (81 – 6P) – P (9 – 6P)
= 24 – 648 + 48P – 9P + 6P2

⟹ 6 P2=39 P−624=0

By using the Quadratic formula, we get

−39 ± √ (39)2−4 ( 6 ) (−624)

P=

−39 ± √ 1521+14976
P=

−39 ± √ 16497

−39 ±128.44
P=

Now, we get two values of P as P1 and P2

−39+128.44 89.44
P1 = =¿ =7.45
12 12
 −39−128.44 −167.44
Similarly, P2 = =¿ =−13.95
12 12

The value of P will be

P = P 1 + P2
= 7.45 – 13.95 = -6.5

Question 4
A company manufacture two different types of call phone F and E , each unit of call phone
S costs (D + 6) OR and each unit of call phone E costs (M + 4) OR. The company insists
that total costs for the two types call phone be 400 OR. Assuming that company
manufactures in total (N+80) products. How many products are of type F and E? (Solve the
problem using Elimination Method)

Solution
Let x be number of F type phone.
Let y be number of E type phone.
Since each F type phone costs (D+6) OR the cost of F type phones = x x (D+6)
Now each E type call phone costs (M+4) OR
The cost of E type phone = y x (M+4)
Total cost of two types of phones=400
Hence we get,
(D+6) x + (M+4) y=400
Total product is N+80
Hence, we get the following system
(D+6) x + (M+4) y=400
 x + y=N+80
Now,

D= |D+6¿ 11M + 4|
= (D+6) – (M+4) = D-M+2

Dx = |400 M +4
¿ N +80 1|
= 400 – (N +80) (M+4)
= 400 – NM -80M -4N -320
= 80 –NM – 80M -4N
And, now

Dy = |¿D+6 400
1 N +80|
= (D+6) (N+80)-400
= DN+6N+80D+480-400
= DN+6N+80D+80
Now,

Finally,

 DN +6 N + 80 D+ 80
be number of E type Phone.

Question 5
The education of women in Oman in the year 1999 was (30+S) percentages. It was
increased to (75+R) percent in the year 2015. Express the education of women as a linear
function of time.

Solution
Here you have to take S and R as an integer as instructed, let R be 8 and S be 3
So Education of women in 1999 is (30+3) = 33 and in 2015 is (75+8) = 83
Now let E = At + B …………. (1)
where t represents no of years after 1999 say t=0 for 1999 and E represents percentage of
Education so when t=0 then E=34 and similarly, when t=2015 – 1999 i.e t= 16 then E= 83
On putting in equation (1), we get
33 = A (0) + B
B = 33
Also,
E=83 and t=16
83 = A (16) + B
16A + 33 = 83
16A = 83 -33
A = 3.125
So , the equation (1) becomes, E = 3.125t + 34

Question 6
A company produces and sells a product and fixed costs of the company are 8500000 Baisa
and variable cost is RO. (35+K) per unit, and sells the product at RO. (70+M) per unit.
a. Find the total cost function.
 b. Find the total revenue function.
c. Find the profit function and determine the profit when 1250 units are sold.
d. How many units must be produced and sold to yield a profit of RO. 20000?
e. How many units must be sold to break even?

Solution
Part (a),
Let the cost function be x , so total cost function
T.C = 8500000 + RO (35 + 9) x
Putting the value of K as 9
= 8500000 + RO (35 +9) x
= 8500000 + (44x) RO
Part (b),
Let the revenue function be x, so total revenue function
T.R = RO (70 + M) x
Putting the value of M as 8
= RO (70 + 8) x
= 79x RO
Part (c),
Total profit,
P = TR – TC
= RO 79x – (8500000 + 44x RO)
= RO 36x – 8500000
= RO 35 (1250) – 8500000
= RO 43750 – 8500000
= 8456250
Part (d),
P = 20000
20000 = RO 35x - 8500000
20000 + 8500000 = 35x
 852000 = 35x
24342.85 = x
Part (e),
BEP = F. cost / (sale price – unit cost)
8500000 8500000
