⇒ Φ’ = f'(x) – f'(1 – x)
Φ”(x) = f”(x) + f”(1 – x)
Now Φ'(\(\frac{1}{2}\)) = f'(\(\frac{1}{2}\)) – f'(\(\frac{1}{2}\)) = 0
⇒ \(\frac{1}{2}\) is a critical point.
Φ”(\(\frac{1}{2}\)) = f”(\(\frac{1}{2}\)) – f”(\(\frac{1}{2}\)) = 0
⇒ x = \(\frac{1}{2}\) is neither a point of local maxima nor a point of local minima.

Question 8.
Write the derivation of e^3logx with respect to x².
Solution:
Let u = e^3lnx = e^lnx = \(e^{\ln x^3}\)= x³ and v = x²
∴ \(\frac{d u}{d x}\) = 3x² and \(\frac{d v}{d x}\) = 2x

i.e y is strictly increasing in the given interval.
Thus the maximum value of
y = x⁵ = 5⁵ = 3125

Question 10.

Solution:
\(\frac{d}{d x}\)(a^{ln x}) = a^{ln x} (ln a)\(\frac{d}{d x}\)ln x
= \(\frac{a^{\ln x} \ln a}{x}\)

Question 11.
Mention the values of x for which x the function f(x) = x³ – 12x is increasing.
Solution:
Given f(x) = x³ – 12x
f is increasing if f'(x) > 0

⇒ x² > 4
⇒ -2 > x > 2
⇒ x ∈ (-∞, -2) ∪ (2, ∞)

Question 12.

Solution:
\(\frac{d}{d x}\)sin^-1 (cos x) = \(\frac{d}{d x}\)sin^-1 sin (\(\frac{\pi}{2}\) – x)

Solution:
y = |x| = \(\left\{\begin{aligned}
x, & x \geq 0 \\
-x, & x<0
\end{aligned}\right.\)
When x < 0, \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = -1
which is the slope of the tangent at (-2, 2).
Equation of the required tangent is
y – 2 = (-1) (x + 2)
⇒ y = -x
⇒ x + y = 0.

Question 14.
What is the derivative of sec^-1 x with respect to x if x < -1?
Solution:
Let y = sec^-1 x
⇒ \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = \(\frac{1}{|x| \sqrt{x^2-1}}\)
when x < (-1) we have |x| = -x
∴ \(\left.\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}\right]_{\mathrm{x}<(-1)}\) = \(\frac{(-1)}{x \sqrt{x^2-1}}\)

Question 15.
Write the set of points where the function f(x) = x³ has relative (local) extrema.
Solution:
f(x) = x³
⇒ f'(x) = 3x²
f'(x) = 0
⇒ x = 0
But f”(x) = 6x = 0 when x = 0
∴ x = 0 is not a point of local extrema.
∴ Hence the set of points where f has relative extrema = Φ.

Question 16.
In which interval of x the function \(\frac{\ln \mathbf{x}}{x}\) is decreasing?
Solution:
Let f(x) = \(\frac{\ln x}{x}\)
⇒ f'(x) = \(\frac{x \cdot \frac{1}{x}-\ln x}{x^2}\) = \(\frac{1-\ln x}{x^2}\)
f is decreasing for
f'(x) < 0 ⇒ \(\frac{1-\ln x}{x^2}\) < 0
⇒ 1 – ln x < 0 (∵ x² > 0)
⇒ 1 < ln x
⇒ ln x > 1
⇒ x e (e, ∞).

⇒ g'(x) = -2sin x + 2sec² x tan x
= 2sin x (sec³ x – 1) ≥ 0
for all x ∈ (0, \(\frac{\pi}{2}\))
∴ g is an increasing function on (0, \(\frac{\pi}{2}\))
But g(0) = 0
∴ g(x) ≥ 0 for all x ∈ (0, \(\frac{\pi}{2}\))
⇒ f(x) ≥ 0 for all x ∈ (0, \(\frac{\pi}{2}\))
⇒ f is an increasing function on (0, \(\frac{\pi}{2}\))
But f(0) = 0
∴ f(x) ≥ 0 for all x ∈ (0, \(\frac{\pi}{2}\))
⇒ 2sin x + tan x ≥ 3x for x ∈ (0, \(\frac{\pi}{2}\))

Question 19.
Show that no two normals to a parabola are parallel.
Solution:
Let us consider the parabola y² = 4ax – (1) and A(at₁², 2at₁) and B (at₂², 2at₂) are any two points on its from (1)

As t₁ ≠ t₂ we have no two normals of a parabola are parallel.

Question 20.

f(x) = \(\begin{cases}\mathbf{x}^2+1, & x \leq-3 \\ x^3-8 x+13, & x>-3\end{cases}\)
Solution:
Given f(x) = \(\begin{cases}\mathbf{x}^2+1, & x \leq-3 \\ x^3-8 x+13, & x>-3\end{cases}\)
Clearly f is not differentiable at x = -3.
and f ‘(x) = \(\begin{cases}2 \mathrm{x}, & \mathrm{x}>-3 \\ 3 \mathrm{x}^2-8 & \mathrm{x}<-3 \\ \text { does not exist } & \text { for } \mathrm{x}=-3\end{cases}\)
Case – 1: x > -3
Clearly f'(x) > 0 for x > 0 and f'(x) < 0 for -3 < x < 0
∴ f is increasing in (0, ∞) and decreasing in (-3, 0).
Case – 2: x < -3
Clearly for x < -3, f(x) = 3x² – 8 > 0
i.e., f is increasing in (-∞, -3)
Thus f is increasing in (-∞, -3) ∪ (0, ∞) and decreasing in (-3, 0).

CHSE Odisha Class 12 Math Solutions Chapter 8 Application of Derivatives Exercise 8(c)

Question 1.
Find the intervals where the following functions are (a) increasing and (b) decreasing.
(i) y = sin x, x ∈ [0, 2π]
Solution:

(ii) y = In x, x ∈ R₊
Solution:
⇒ \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = \(\frac{1}{x}\) > 0
for all x ∈ R₊.
Thus y = In x is increasing in (0, ∞) and decreasing nowhere.

(iii) y = a^x, a > 0, x ∈ R
Solution:
⇒ \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = a^x In a > 0 for all x ∈ R provided a > 1.
The function is increasing in (-∞, ∞) is a > 1.
Again \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = a^x In a < 0 if 0 < a < 1.
Thus the function is decreasing in (-∞, ∞) if (0 < a < 1)

(iv) y = sin x + cos x, x ∈ [0, 2π]
Solution:

(v) y = 2x³ + 3x² – 36x – 7
Solution:
\(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 6x² – 6x – 36
y is increasing if \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) > 0
⇒ x² + x – 6>0
⇒ x² + 3x – 2x – 6>0
⇒ x (x + 3) -2 (x + 3) > 0
⇒ (x + 3) (x – 2) > 0
for x > 2 or x < -3 and (x + 3 ) (x – 2) < 0 for -3 < x < 2
∴ The function is increasing in (-∞, -3) ∪ (2, ∞) and is decreasing in (-3, 2).

(vi) y = \(\frac{1}{x-1^{\prime}}\) x ≠ 1
Solution:
\(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = \(\frac{-1}{(x-1)^2}\)
The function is increasing if \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) > 0
⇒ \(\frac{-1}{(x-1)^2}\) > 0 which is impossible because \(\frac{-1}{(x-1)^2}\) is always -ve for all x ≠ 1. So the function is increasing nowhere. It is decreasing in R – {1}

(vii) y = \(\left\{\begin{array}{cc}
x^2+1, & x \leq-3 \\
x^3-8 x+13, & x>-3
\end{array}\right.\)
Solution:

(viii) y = 4x² + \(\frac{1}{x}\)
Solution:

(ix) y = (x – 1)² (x + 2)
Solution:
\(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 2 (x – 1) (x + 2) + (x – 1)²
= (x – 1) (2x + 4 + x – 1)
= (x – 1 ) (3x + 3)
= 3 (x – 1) (x + 1 )
The function is increasing if \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) > 0.
⇒ (x + 1) (x – 1) > 0
⇒ x < -1 or x > 1
∴ The function is increasing in (-∞, -1) ∪ (1, ∞)
It is decreasing in (-1, 1).

(x) y = \(\frac{\ln x}{x}\), x > 0
Solution:

(xi) y = tan x – 4 (x – 2), x ∈ (-\(\frac{\pi}{2}\), \(\frac{\pi}{2}\))
Solution:

(xii) y = sin 2x – cos 2x, x ∈ [0, 2π]
Solution:

Solution:

Question 4.
Show that 2 sin x + tan x ≥ 3x for all x ∈ (0, \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)).
Solution:
Let f(x) = 2 sin x + tan x – 3x
Then f(x) = 2 cos x + sec² x – 3

CHSE Odisha Class 12 Math Solutions Chapter 7 Continuity and Differentiability Exercise 7(j)

Test differentiability and continuity of the following functions.
Question 1.
\(\left|1-\frac{1}{x}\right|\) at x = 1
Solution:

Question 2.
x² |x| at x = 0.
Solution:
Let f(x) = x² |x|
Then f(0) = 0

As L.H.D.=R.H.D., f(x) is differentiable at x = 0. We know that every differentiable function is continuous. So f(x) is also continuous at x = 0.

Question 3.
f(x) = tan x at x = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)
Solution:
f(x) = tan x
f(\(\frac{\pi}{2}\)) = tan \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) which does not exist.
So f(x) is neither continuous not differentiable.

Question 4.
f(x) = cot x at x = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\).
Solution:

Question 5.
f(x) = |sin x| at x = π.
Solution:
Differentiability:
f(x) = |sin x|, x = π
f(π) |sin π| = 0

Question 6.
f(x) = latex]\frac{x}{1+|x|}[/latex] at x = 0
Solution:

As L.H.D. = R.H.D., f(x) is differentiable at x = 0.
Every differentiable function is continuous.
So f(x) is also continuous at x = 0.

Question 7.
f(x) = \(\begin{cases}x \sin \frac{1}{x}, & x \neq 0 \\ 0, & x=0\end{cases}\) at x = 0
Solution:

Question 8.
f(x) = \(\begin{cases}\frac{1-e^{-x}}{x}, & x \neq 0 \\ 1 & x=0\end{cases}\) at x = 0
Solution:
f(0) = 1

As L.H.D. = R.H.D., f(x) is differentiable at the origin. Again every differentiable function is continuous. So f(x) is continuous at the origin.

CHSE Odisha Class 12 Math Solutions Chapter 8 Application of Derivatives Exercise 8(b)

Question 1.
Find the equations to the tangents and normals to the following curves at the indicated points.
(i) y = 2x² + 3 at x = -1
Solution:
y = 2x² + 3 at x = -1
⇒ \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 4        ∴\(\left.\frac{d y}{d x}\right]_{-1}\) = -4
Thus slope of the tangent at x = -1 is -4.
Angin for x = -1 , y = 2 + 3 = 5
The point of contact is (-1, 5).
Equation of the tangent is y – 5 = -4 (x + 1)
⇒ 4x + y – 1 = 0
Slope of the normal = \(\frac{1}{4}\)
Eqn. of the normal is y – 5 = \(\frac{1}{4}\) (x + 1)
⇒ 4y – 20 = x + 1
⇒ x – 4y + 21 = 0

(ii) y = x³ – x at x = 2
Solution:
y = x³ – x at x = 2
When x = 2, y = 2³ – 2 = 6
The point is (2, 6).
Again \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 3x² – 1
\(\left.\frac{d y}{d x}\right]_{x=2}\) = 12 – 1 = 11
Slope of the tangent = 11.
Slope of the normal = –\(\frac{1}{11}\)
Equation of the tangent is
y – 6 = 11 (x – 2)
⇒ 11x – y – 16 = 0
Equation of the normal is
y – 6 = –\(\frac{1}{11}\)
⇒ 11y – 66 = – x + 2
⇒ x + 11y – 68 = 0

(iii) y = √x + 2x + 6 at x = 4
Solution:
y = √x + 2x + 6 at x = 4
For x = 4, y = 2 + 8 + 6 = 16
The point is (4, 16)
Again \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = \(\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x}}\) + 2
\(\left.\frac{d y}{d x}\right]_{x=4}\) = \(\frac{1}{4}\) + 2 = \(\frac{9}{4}\)
Slope of the tangent = \(\frac{9}{4}\)
Slope of the normal = –\(\frac{4}{9}\)
Equation of the tangent is
y – 16 = \(\frac{9}{4}\)(x – 4)
⇒ 9x – 4y + 28 = 0
Equation of the normal is
y – 16 = – \(\frac{4}{9}\)(x – 4)
⇒ 9y – 144 = -4x + 16
⇒ 4x + 9y – 160 = 0

(iv) y = √3 sin x + cos x at x = \(\frac{\pi}{3}\)
Solution:

(v) y = (log x)² at x = \(\frac{1}{e}\)
Solution:

(vi) y = \(\frac{1}{\log x}\) at x = 2
Solution:

(vii) y = xe^-x at x = 0
Solution:
y = xe^-x at x = 0
For x = 0, y = 0
The point is (0, 0).
\(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = e^-x + x . (-e^-x)
\(\left.\frac{d y}{d x}\right]_{x=0}\) = 1
Slope of the tangent = 1
Slope of the normal = -1
Equation of the tangent is y = x and equation of the normal is y = -x

(viii) y = a (θ – sin θ), y = a (1 – cos θ) at θ = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)
Solution:
y = a (θ – sin θ), y = a (1 – cos θ) at θ = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)

(ix) \(\left(\frac{x}{a}\right)^{2 / 3}\) + \(\left(\frac{y}{b}\right)^{2 / 3}\) = 1 at (a cos³ θ, b sin³ θ)
Solution:
\(\left(\frac{x}{a}\right)^{2 / 3}\) + \(\left(\frac{y}{b}\right)^{2 / 3}\) = 1 at (a cos³ θ, b sin³ θ)

Question 2.
Find the point on the curve y² – x² + 2x – 1 = 0 where the tangent is parallel to the x – axis.
Solution:
Given curve is y² – x² + 2x – 1 = 0 … (1)

Putting x = 1 in (1) we get
y² – 1 + 2 – 1 = 0 ⇒ y = 0
∴ The point is (1, 0).

Question 3.
Find the point (s) on the curve x = \(\frac{3 a t}{1+t^2}\), y = \(\frac{3 a t^2}{1+t^2}\) where the tangent is perpendicular to the line 4x + 3y + 5 = 0.
Solution:

Question 4.
Find the point on the curve x² + y² – 4xy + 2 = 0 where the normal is parallel to the x axis.
Solution:
x² + y² – 4xy + 2 = 0

Question 5.

Given parabola is y² = 4ax

Question 6.
Show that the line y = mx + c touches the ellipse
\(\frac{x^2}{a^2}\) + \(\frac{y^2}{b^2}\) = 1 if c² = a²m² + b²
[Hints: Find equation to tangent at a point (x’, y’) of the curve and compare it with
y = mx + c].
Solution:

Question 7.
Show that the sum of the intercepts on the coordinate axes of any tangent to the curve
√x + √y = √a is constant.
Solution:

Question 8.
Show that the curves y = 2^x and y = 5^x intersect at an angle
tan^-1 \(\left|\frac{\ln \left(\frac{5}{2}\right)}{1+\ln 2 \ln 5}\right|\)
(Note: Angle between two curves is the angle between their tangents at the point of intersection)
Solution:
Given curves are
y = 2^x … (1)
and y = 5^x … (2)
Differentiating (1) we get \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 2^x . In 2
Differentiating (2) we get \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 5^x . In 2
Slope of the tangent to the first curve at (x, y) = 2^x . In 2
Slope of the tangent to the second curve at (x, y) = 5^x . In 2
Solving (1) and (2) we get 2^x = 5^x ⇒ x = 0
For x = 0, y = 1
∴ The point of intersection is (0, 1).
At (0, 1) slope of the 1st tangent = In 2
Slope of the second tangent = In 5
If θ is the angle between two tangents
then \(\frac{\ln 5-\ln 2}{1+\ln 5 \cdot \ln 2}\) = \(\frac{\ln \frac{5}{2}}{1+\ln 5 \cdot \ln 2}\)
= tan^-1 \(\left(\frac{\ln \frac{5}{2}}{1+\ln 5 \cdot \ln 2}\right)\)
We know that angle between two curves is the angle between their tangents at the point of intersection.
Hence the two curves intersect at an angle.
\(\left(\tan ^{-1} \cdot \frac{\ln \frac{5}{2}}{1+\ln 5 \cdot \ln 2}\right)\)

Question 9.
Show that the curves ax² + by² =1 and a’x² + b’y² = 1. Intersect at right angles if
\(\frac{1}{a}\) – \(\frac{1}{a}\) = \(\frac{1}{a^{\prime}}\) – \(\frac{1}{b^{\prime}}\).
Solution:
Given curves are
ax²+ by²= 1 … (1)
and a’x² + b’y² = 1 … (2)
Differentiating (1) we get

Question 10.
Find the equation of the tangents drawn from the point (1, 2) to the curve.
y² – 2x³ – 4y + 8 = 0
Solution:
Given curve is
y² – 2x³ – 4y + 8 = 0 … (1)

⇒ -(k – 2)² = 3h² – 3h³
⇒ (k – 2)² = 3h³ – 3h²
Putting it in (2) we get
k² – 2h³ – 4k + 8 = 0
⇒ k² – 4k + 4 – 2h³ + 4 = 0
⇒ (k – 2)² – 2h³ + 4 = 0
⇒ 3h³ – 3h² – 2h³ + 4 = 0
⇒ h³ – 3h² + 4 = 0
⇒ h³ + h² – 4h² + 4 = 0
⇒ h² (h + 1) – 4 (h² – 1) = 0
⇒ h² (h + 1) – 4 (h + 1) (h – 1) = 0
⇒ (h + 1) (h² – 4h + 4) = 0
⇒ (h + 1) (h – 2)² = 0
⇒ h = -1, 2.
For h = -1, k is imaginary.
For h = 2, k = 2 + 2√3
The point at which the tangent is drawn is (2, 2 + 2√3).
Slope of the tangents
= \(\frac{3 h^2}{k-2}\) = \(\frac{12}{\pm 2 \sqrt{3}}\) = ± 2√3
Equations of the tangental
y – (2 ± 2√3) = ± 2√3(x – 2)

Question 11.
Show that the equation to the normal to x^2/3 + y^2/3 = a^2/3 is y cos θ – x sin θ = a cos 2θ where θ is the inclination of the normal to x – axis.
Solution:

The point is (a² sin³ θ, a² cos³ θ).
Equation of the normal is
y – a² cos³ θ = tan θ (x – a² sin³ θ)
⇒ y cos θ – a² cos⁴ θ = x sin θ – a² sin⁴ θ
⇒ y cos θ – x sin θ = a² (cos⁴ θ – sin⁴ θ)
= a² (cos² θ + sin² θ) (cos² θ – sin² θ)
= a² cos 2θ.
∴ Equation of the normal is
y cos θ – x sin θ = a² cos 2θ.(Proved)

Question 12.
Show that the length of the portion of the tangent to x^2/3 + y^2/3 = a^2/3 intercepted between the axes is constant.
Solution:

Question 13.
Find the tangent to the curve y = cos (x + y), 0 < x ≤ 2π which is parallel to the line
x + 2y = 0.
Solution:
y = cos (x + y) … (1)

Question 14.
If tangents are drawn from the origin to the curve y = sin x then show that the locus of the points of contact is x²y² = x² – y²
Solution:
Given curve is
y = sin x … (1)
\(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = cos x
Slope of the tangent to the cure (1) at any point (x, y) is cos x.
Let (h, k) be the point of contact.
Then slope of the tangent at (h, k) = cos h.
Equation of the tangent to the curve (1) at (h, k) is
y – k = cos h (x – h) … (2)
If the tangent is drawn from the origin then -k = -h cos h
⇒ k = h cos h … (3)
As (h, k) is the poitn of contact then we have
k = sin h … (4)
From (3) we get,
k = h\(\sqrt{1-\sin ^2 h}\) = h\(\sqrt{1-k^2}\) by (4).
Squaring both sides we get
k² = h² (1 – k²)
⇒ k² = h² – h²k²
⇒ h²k² = h² – k²
The locus of (h, k) is x².y² = x² – y² (Proved)

Question 15.
Find the equation of the normal to the curve given by
x = 3 cos θ – cos³ θ
y = 3 sin θ – sin³ θ at θ = \(\frac{\pi}{4}\)
Solution:
x = 3 cos θ – cos³ θ
y = 3 sin θ – sin³ θ
Differentiating we get
\(\frac{d x}{d \theta}\) = -3 sin θ + 3 cos² θ . sin θ
\(\frac{d x}{d \theta}\) = 3 cos θ – 3 sin² θ . cos θ

Question 16.
If x cos α + y sin α = p is a tangent to the curve \(\left(\frac{x}{a}\right)^{\frac{n}{n-1}}\) + \(\left(\frac{y}{b}\right)^{\frac{n}{n-1}}\) = 1
then show that (a cos α)ⁿ + (b sin α)ⁿ = pⁿ
Solution:
Given straight line is x cos α + y sin α = p … (1)
Given curve is

y = at (1 + cos t)

Odisha State Board CHSE Odisha Class 12 Invitation to English 4 Solutions Grammar Fundamental Rules for Correcting Grammatical Errors Textbook Activity Questions and Answers.

CHSE Odisha 12th Class English Grammar Fundamental Rules for Correcting Grammatical Errors

Question 1.
In English Grammar verbs always agree with their subject in persons and numbers.
Example:
(a) I am a teacher.
subject – I
verb – am
(b) He is a student.
subject – He
verb – is
(c) They are farmers.
subject – They
verb – are
So while correcting the errors first underline the subject and verb of each sentence and see whether the verb agrees with its subject.

Question 2.
Prepositions always follow either a noun or an adjective or a verb. So find out preposition in each sentence and see their appropriate use.
Example:
(a) He is jealous of my success.
Adjective – jealous
Preposition – of
(b) The boy always depends on his father’s help.
Adjective – depends
Preposition – on
(c) He has confidence in me.
Noun- Confidence
Preposition – in

Question 3.
To find out errors in sentences articles play important role. In some sentences: there is wrong use of articles i.e., wrong use of ‘a’, ‘an’, ‘the’. So go through the use of articles meticulously and get it corrected.
Example:
A hermit live in a small cottage in a remote village. There is an orchard behind the cottage. The orchard has many rare trees.

Question 4.
Sometimes the use of quantifiers like ‘much’, ‘many’, ‘a lot of, ‘little’, ‘a little’, ‘few’ and ‘a few’ is wrongly used in sentences. It should be corrected carefully.
Example:
(a) They don’t find much time to work in the garden.
Uncountable – time
(b) Is there much water in the pond?
Uncountable – water

From the above examples it is found that ‘much’ is used before uncountable nouns in negative and interrogative sentences.
Example:
(c) He doesn’t have many shirts.
PI. Count. – shirts
(d) Does he have many books in his library.
PI. Count. – books

From the above examples it is found that ‘many’ is used before plural countable noun in negative and interrogative sentences.
Example:
(e) The mechanic repairs a lot of bikes everyday.
PI. Count. – bikes
(f) He has got a lot of money.
Uncountable – money

From the above examples it is found that ‘a lot of can be used with plural countable nouns as well as uncountable nouns in affirmative sentences.

Question 5.
Some verbal expressions like would rather and had better always go with the Bare Infinitive form of a non-finite verbs.
Example:
(a) You would rather go than stay here.
(going, go, gone, to go)
(Choose the correct alternative)
(b) They had better do their duty in time.
(doing, done, do, to do)
(Choose the correct alternative)

Question 6.
An imperative sentence beginning with “Let” can be followed by objective case of a pronoun.
Example:
(a) (i) Let he do whatever he wants to do. (Incorrect)
(ii) Let him do whatever he wants to do. (Correct)
(b) (i) Let you and I solve the problem. (Incorrect)
(ii) Let you and me solve the problem. (Correct).
(c) (i) Let there be no secret between you and we. (Incorrect)
(ii) Let there be no secret between you and us. (Correct)

Pronouns
Subjective case	Objective Case
I	Me
We	Us
You	You
He	Him
She	Her
It	It

Question 7.
The expression “I wish” always goes with “I were” i.e., past simple or “had + past participle” i.e., past perfect.
Example:
(a) (i) I wish I am the king. (Incorrect).
(ii) I wish I were the king. (Correct)
(b) (i) I wish I know your name. (Incorrect)
(ii) I wish I knew /had known your name. (Correct)

Question 8.
When the singular pronouns of first, second and third person go together their order should be “2nd person, third person and first person” i.e., “you + he and I”.

At the end of the food chain there are airconditioned supermarkets where consumers can buy the produce in good condition. A kilo of tomato which a customer will buy for 10 rupees can be available for only 7 rupees in a supermarket. We can’t imagine that any private company will do all this out of charity or love for the farmers. With time food chains may come away from the cities and closer to the farms.

The fox put his sack down at the wayside and went near the dove. In the meantime, the hen managed to escape, and hide behind a bush. When the fox was about to catch the ‘dead’ dove, he surprised to see that the dove quickly flew away. In the evening the dove met the hen at the farmyard and the two began to laugh for the foolishness of the fox.

Question 12.
Generally the word ‘superstition’ was used as the term of disgrace or reproach to senseless belief based in ignorant fear. We look down to the uncivilized people because they worshipped the different aspect of nature and are filled in awe by things that are simple enough for us. Many Hindus considered a sneeze, the cry of a lizard as ominous. For the Westerners, number 13 is so unlucky that it can be avoided by all means. If the cat crosses their path they call up their tour. Indeed, every community is subject to some superstition and we could not conceive for any community being completely free of it.

Mr. M. Pradhan
Managing Director
Home Products India Ltd.
Industrial Estate
Mancheswar, Bhubaneswar.
Dear Mr. Pradhan,
As requested by you, vide your letter No. MD/NS/2233 dated 2.2.2013, we have carried out a market survey to test the public acceptance of the mosquito repellant which your company plans to manufacture. We conducted an opinion poll covering 1000 families in the coastal districts of Odisha. Forty percent of these families use mosquito repellants, but most of them are unhappy with the existing products in the market. They find the electronic repellants too expensive while the coil-based ones emit too much smoke.

The preference is for a less expensive product, preferably one that produces no smoke. Our study suggests there may be a good market for a new repellant, provided these requirements are kept in mind. We recommend that your company should concentrate on manufacturing an improved kind of smoke-free mosquito coil, preferably one that produces a pleasant fragrance.
Yours sincerely,
S.K. Patnaik
Director of Research

As desired by you a team consisting of the Secretary and Assistant Secretary of the society contacted all five printing firms in town and obtained quotations from them for printing of the proposed journal. All the firms quoted the same price, that is Rs. 5000/- for 1000 copies. Rasmita Printers, however, offered a discount of ten per cent, provided we allowed them an extra period of fifteen days for printing. Since we do not need the copies of the journal till a month later, we could consider the offer of Rasmita Printers as it will cost us Rs. 500/- less than the offers quoted by other printing firms.

The rope was lying in contact with a jar of petrol kept by an employee for his personal use. The jar of petrol caught fire immediately and broke into high flames that ravaged the electrical circuit. Fortunately, there was no one in the boiler room as it was lunch time except Mr Lingaraj Patra who was cleaning some machine part.
3. He has received 40 per cent bums in his body and has been admitted at the Kalinga hospital. He is presently out of danger and the personnel department has already sanctioned Rs. 50,000 for his treatment.

This is for your kind information.

Your club wants to buy a CTV (Colour TV) set. You have been asked to contact various firms marketing such sets and make your recommendation on the brand to be bought. Make a comparative study of the price, quality and durability of different brands of CTV and make a report.
Answer:

YOUNG FOLKS CLUB
213 Kharvela Nagar
Bhubaneswar

21 April 2012

Mr P. Khuntia
The Secretary
Young Folks Club
213 Kharavela Nagar
Bhubaneswar
Dear Mr Khuntia,

As requested by you I contacted 10 dealers of colour television in the town and personally inspected several makes of colour televisions in their showrooms. LG, Samsung, Philips and Onida companies all offer 25” CTVs at competitive prices. Of course L.G. is the costliest at Rs. 58,000 but it employs the golden eye technology which is truly soothing to the eyes. Samsung and Onida brands are also good. The unique thing about the Samsung T V. is that it offers two games in its set but we cannot afford members fiddling with the game program of the T.V. while others want to watch programs.

Except for its woofer impacted quality the Videocon CTV’s picture quality is no match for those of other brands. The Onida brand is good. It commands a price tag of Rs. 50,000. However its after sales-service is doubtful as the dealer here does not guarantee qualified personnel from the company to give service. However with a price tag of Rs. 48,000/- and a 5 year warranty contract, quality picture and sound, the Philips flatron CTV is perhaps the best that our town has to offer.

The concerned dealer is offering a free Antennae along with booster as well as 10 VCD’s with the T.V. He has also agreed to transport the CTV and to install it in our conference Hall free of cost. It is therefore recommended that the Shanti Electronics, 105, Bapuji Nagar, Bhubaneswar be contacted and the Philips Flatron CTV be bought from them at the price as well as the terms and conditions offered by them.
Yours faithfully

When an action/event took place in the past but its result is still operative at the present moment of speaking/time, we generally use a Present Perfect tense and the Past Simple means that the action/happening occurred before the present moment.

Dear Suresh,
It was really nice to hear from you again. Thanks for telling me about your plans for an excursion. I’m afraid I won’t be able to make it. I have exams to sit for. But I have already made up for the loss.
Yesterday we went on a picnic, and I feel I must share the excitement of it all with you.
Our classmates sat together a week ahead and decided to go on a picnic to Nandankanan. We got the permission of the Principal and gave each one hundred rupees for the purpose. We were 50 students and three lecturers too consented to go with us. All of us were of the opinion to see Nandankanan, the zoo. We hired a bus and it was about two hours journey from our college. We saw a lot of buses, cars, and trees full of flowers on our way to Nandankanan. We arrived at Nandankanan by 9 o’clock in the morning. On getting there, we first had our breakfast. Mohan, Sanjay, and Pravakar voluntarily agreed to take charge of cooking. They discharged their duty pretty well. Others went to see the beautiful march of colorful sights and sounds. Our menu was very simple. We had rice, mutton curry, and fruit salad. The preparation of the food was superb. We all enjoyed the food to our heart’s content. After finishing our lunch, we took a little rest and then went round the zoo again. We first returned to our college at 6 p.m. Then the day scholars went to their houses and we went to our hostel. It was really a pleasant outing. I felt your absence there.

With love
Yours truly
Sandeep.

Note:
We can use sentences in the past simply when ‘the speaker/writer has a definite time in mind’.
Examples :
Once this town was a beauty spot.
Mahatma was bom in 1869.
“Past simple” can also be used for “habit in the past”.

Example :
He always carried an umbrella.
They never drank tea.
Note that in most cases we use used to if we wish to emphasize that the habit has been discontinued.

Example :
He used to smoke, (which means that he smoked at one time but he doesn’t smoke now.)
Past Simple can also be used for hypothetical meaning.

Example :
It’s time we had a holiday.
If you caught the 9 o’clock train, you would get there by lunchtime, etc.
