Q22. Two sign boards, one circular and one square to be made using a wire of
length 40 m and cutting it into two pieces. The sign boards are to depict BE
HONEST and BE PUNCTUAL and these are be displayed near the main gate
of the school. What should be the lengths of the two pieces, so that the

combined area of the square and the circle is minimum? Do you think these
values are important in life?

Q24. A speaks truth in 60% of the cases and B in 90% of the cases. In what
percentage of cases are they likely to contradict each other in stating the
same fact? Which values A is lacking and should improve upon?
Q25. Form the differential equation of the family of circles touching the y- axis at
origin.
Q26. A company manufactures two types of stickers A: SAVE ENVIRONMENT

and B: BE COURTEOUS. Type A requires 5 minutes each for cutting and 10

minutes each for assembling. Type B requires 8 minutes each for cutting and
8 minutes each for assembling. There are 3 hours and 20 minutes available
for cutting and 4 hours available for assembling in a day. He earns a profit of
Rs. 50 on each type A and Rs.60 on each type B. How many stickers of each
type should the company manufacture in a day to maximize profit? Give your
views about SAVE ENVIRONMENT and BE COURTEOUS.
