(All questions are compulsory.
(i) The question paper consists of 26 questions divided into sections
A, B and C. Section A comprises of 6 questions of one mark
each, section B comprises of 13 questions of four marks each
and section C comprises of 7 questions of 6 marks each.
(i) There ts no overall chotce. However, internal chotce has been
provided in 4 questions of 4 marks each and two questions of 6
marks each. You have to attempt only one of the alternatives in
all such questions.
(tv) All questions in section A are to be answered in one word, one
sentence or as per the exact requirement of the question.
(v) Use of calculators is not permitted. You may ask for logarithmic
table if required.

In an examination, 10 questions of true-false type are asked. A
student tosses a fair coin to determine his answer to each
question. If the coin falls heads, he answers ‘true’ and if it falls
tails, he answers ‘false’. Show that the probability that he answers
at most seven questions correctly is 121/128.

The postmaster of a local post office wishes to hire helpers during
the Deepawali Season, because of large increase in the volume of
mail handling & delivery. Because of the limited office space and ,
the budgetary conditions the number of temporary helpers must
not exceed 10. According to past experience, a man can handle
300 letters and 80 packages per day, on the average & a woman
can handle 400 letters and 50 packages per day. The post master
believes that the daily volume of extra mails and packages will not
be less than 3400 and 680 respectively. A man receives Rs. 150 a
day, a woman receives Rs. 120 per day. How many men & women
helpers should be hired to keep the pay roll at minimum cost ?
What value should be purchased by the post master where he
hires men & women who are doing the same work ?
