A spherical balloon is filled with 4500π cubic meters of helium gas. If a leak in the balloon causes the gas to escape at the rate of 72π cubic meters per minute, then the rate (in meters per minute) at which the radius of the balloon decreases 49 minutes after the leakage began is

  • 9/7

  • 7/9

  • 2/9

  • 9/2

Solution

C.

2/9

Volume of balloon is,space straight V space equals space 4 over 3 πr cubed
After 49 minutes volume = 4500π – 49 (72π) = 972π
4 over 3 space πr cubed space equals space 972 space straight pi
rightwards double arrow space straight r cubed space space equals space 729
rightwards double arrow space straight r space equals space 9
Now comma
straight v equals 4 over 3 πr cubed
differentiating space both space the space sides
dv over dt space equals space 4 over 3 space straight pi 3 straight r squared dr over dt
72 space straight pi space equals space 4 πr squared space dr over dt
dr over dt space equals space fraction numerator 72 over denominator 4.9.9 end fraction space equals space 2 over 9

Let L be the set of all lines in a plane and R be the relation in L defined as R = {(L1, L2) : L1 is perpendicular to L2}. Show that R is symmetric but neither reflexive nor transitive.

 Determine whether each of the following relations are reflexive, symmetric and transitive :

(i) Relation R in the set A = {1, 2, 3,....., 13, 14} defined as

R = {(x, y) : 3 x – y = 0}

(ii) Relation R in the set N of natural numbers defined as R = {(x, y) : y = x + 5 and x < 4} (iii) Relation R in the set A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} as R = {(x,y) : y is divisible by x} (iv) Relation R in the set Z of all integers defined as R = {(x,y) : x – y is an integer}

(v) Relation R in the set A of human beings in a town at a particular time given by
(a)    R = {(x, y) : x and y work at the same place}
(b)    R = {(x,y) : x and y live in the same locality}
(c)    R = {(x, y) : x is exactly 7 cm taller than y}
(d)    R = {(x, y) : x is wife of y}
(e)    R = {(x,y) : x is father of y}

Check whether the relation R defined in the set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} as R = {(a, b) : b = a + 1} is reflexive, symmetric or transitive.

Show that the relation R in R defined as R = {(a, b) : a ≤ b}, is reflexive and transitive but not symmetric.

Check whether the relation R in R defined by R = {(a,b) : a ≤ b3} is refleive, symmetric or transitive.

If R and R’ arc reflexive relations on a set then so are R ∪ R’ and R ∩ R’. 

If R and R’ are symmetric relations on a set A, then R ∩ R’ is also a sysmetric relation on A.

Show that the union of two symmetric relations on a set is again a symmetric relation on that set.

Let A = {1. 2. 3}. Then show that the number of relations containing (1,2) and (2. 3) which are reflexive and transitive but not symmetric is four.
