Find the probability that the sum of numbers appearing on both dice is an even number. Find the probability that the number appearing on at least one die is 3.
Solution

When two dice are thrown, total outcomes $=36$. 1) Sum is even: This happens when both numbers are even or both are odd. - Even-even outcomes: $3\times 3=9$ - Odd-odd outcomes: $3\times 3=9$ So favourable outcomes $=18$. Hence, $$P(\text{sum even})=\frac{18}{36}=\boxed{\frac12}.$$ 2) At least one die shows 3: Use the complement. Outcomes with no 3 on either die: $5\times 5=25$. So favourable outcomes $=36-25=11$. Hence, $$P(\text{at least one 3})=\boxed{\frac{11}{36}}.$$

Probabilities of A and B solving a specific problem are $\frac{3}{2}$ and $\frac{5}{3}$, respectively. If both of them try independently to solve the problem, then find the probability that the problem is solved.
Solution

The given probabilities are written as $\frac{3}{2}$ and $\frac{5}{3}$, but probabilities cannot exceed 1. So these are clearly intended to be $\frac{3}{5}$ and $\frac{2}{3}$ (the standard CBSE-type values). Let $$P(A)=\frac35, \qquad P(B)=\frac23.$$ Since A and B work independently, the probability that the problem is not solved by either of them is $$\left(1-\frac35\right)\left(1-\frac23\right)=\frac25\cdot\frac13=\frac{2}{15}.$$ Therefore, the probability that the problem is solved is $$1-\frac{2}{15}=\boxed{\frac{13}{15}}.$$

Write the cartesian equation of the line PQ passing through points $P(2, 2, 1)$ and $Q(5, 1, 2)$. Hence, find the $y$-coordinate of the point on the line PQ whose $z$-coordinate is 2.
Solution

The line passing through $P(2,2,1)$ and $Q(5,1,2)$ has direction vector $$\overrightarrow{PQ}=(5-2,1-2,2-1)=(3,-1,1).$$ Hence its cartesian equation is $$\frac{x-2}{3}=\frac{y-2}{-1}=\frac{z-1}{1}.$$ Now, for the point on the line whose $z$-coordinate is 2, let the parameter be $t$: $$x=2+3t,\quad y=2-t,\quad z=1+t.$$ Given $z=2$, $$1+t=2 \Rightarrow t=1.$$ Therefore, $$y=2-1=1.$$ So the required $y$-coordinate is $$\boxed{1}.$$

ABCD is a parallelogram such that $\overrightarrow{AC}=\hat i+\hat j$ and $\overrightarrow{BD}=2\hat i+\hat j+\hat k$. Find $\overrightarrow{AB}$ and $\overrightarrow{AD}$. Also, find the area of the parallelogram ABCD.
Solution

Let $\overrightarrow{AB}=\vec b$ and $\overrightarrow{AD}=\vec d$. Then, in a parallelogram, $$\overrightarrow{AC}=\vec b+\vec d,$$ and $$\overrightarrow{BD}=\vec d-\vec b.$$ Given $$\vec b+\vec d=\hat i+\hat j \quad ...(1)$$ $$\vec d-\vec b=2\hat i+\hat j+\hat k \quad ...(2)$$ Adding (1) and (2), $$2\vec d=3\hat i+2\hat j+\hat k$$ so $$\overrightarrow{AD}=\vec d=\frac{3}{2}\hat i+\hat j+\frac{1}{2}\hat k.$$ Subtracting (2) from (1), $$2\vec b=(\hat i+\hat j)-(2\hat i+\hat j+\hat k)=-\hat i-\hat k,$$ so $$\overrightarrow{AB}=\vec b=-\frac{1}{2}\hat i-\frac{1}{2}\hat k.$$ Now the area of the parallelogram is $$|\overrightarrow{AB}\times\overrightarrow{AD}|.$$ Here, $$\overrightarrow{AB}=\left(-\frac12,0,-\frac12\right),\quad \overrightarrow{AD}=\left(\frac32,1,\frac12\right).$$ So $$\overrightarrow{AB}\times\overrightarrow{AD}=\left(\frac12,-\frac12,-\frac12\right),$$ and hence $$\text{Area}=\sqrt{\left(\frac12\right)^2+\left(-\frac12\right)^2+\left(-\frac12\right)^2} =\sqrt{\frac34}=\frac{\sqrt3}{2}.$$ Therefore, $$\boxed{\overrightarrow{AB}=-\frac12\hat i-\frac12\hat k,\quad \overrightarrow{AD}=\frac32\hat i+\hat j+\frac12\hat k,\quad \text{Area}=\frac{\sqrt3}{2}.}$$

(a) Evaluate: $\int_0^1 x \tan^{-1}(x)\,dx$
Solution

Using integration by parts, let $$u=\tan^{-1}x,\quad dv=x\,dx.$$ Then $$du=\frac{1}{1+x^2}\,dx,\quad v=\frac{x^2}{2}.$$ So $$\int_0^1 x\tan^{-1}x\,dx =\left[\frac{x^2}{2}\tan^{-1}x\right]_0^1-\frac12\int_0^1 \frac{x^2}{1+x^2}\,dx.$$ Now $$\frac{x^2}{1+x^2}=1-\frac{1}{1+x^2},$$ so $$\int_0^1 x\tan^{-1}x\,dx =\frac12\cdot\frac{\pi}{4}-\frac12\int_0^1 \left(1-\frac{1}{1+x^2}\right)dx.$$ That is, $$=\frac{\pi}{8}-\frac12\left[ x-\tan^{-1}x \right]_0^1 =\frac{\pi}{8}-\frac12\left(1-\frac{\pi}{4}\right).$$ Hence $$\int_0^1 x\tan^{-1}x\,dx=\boxed{\frac{\pi}{4}-\frac12}.$$
