Sn = n [ 2a + (n - 1)d ] 2
44, 42, 40, ------ 2, 0
Here , a = 44 , d = -2 , n = 22 termsS22 = 22 [ 2 × 44 + (22 - 1)(-2) ] 2 S22 = 22 [ 88 - 42 ] 2 S22 = 22 × [ 46 ] 2
S22 = 11 × 46 = 506Correct Option: C
Sn = n [ 2a + (n - 1)d ] 2

- An automobile plant contracted to buy shock absorbers from two suppliers X and Y. X supplies 60% and V supplies 40% of the shock absorbers. All shock absorbers are subjected to a quality test. The ones that pass the quality test are considered reliable. Of X's shock absorbers, 96% are reliable. Of Y's shock absorbers, 72% are reliable. The probability that a randomly chosen shock absorber, which is found to be reliable, is made by Y is

X Y Supply 60% 40% Reliable 96% 72% Overall 0.576 0.228 ∴ P(X) = 0.288 = 0.334 0.576 + 0.288
Correct Option: B
X Y Supply 60% 40% Reliable 96% 72% Overall 0.576 0.228 ∴ P(X) = 0.288 = 0.334 0.576 + 0.288

y = 2x – 0.1x2
dy = 2 – 0.2x dx d2y < 0 dx2
Hence maximises at 2 – 0.2x = 0
⇒ x = 10
∴ y = 20 – 10 = 10 mCorrect Option: B
y = 2x – 0.1x2
dy = 2 – 0.2x dx d2y < 0 dx2
Hence maximises at 2 – 0.2x = 0
⇒ x = 10
∴ y = 20 – 10 = 10 m
