Case Study -1

36. Read the following questions.

Prime Minister’s National Relief Fund (PMNRF) was established to help

the families of earthquake affected village. The allotment officer is trying to
come up with a method of calculate fair division of funds across various
affected families so that the fund amount and amount received per family can
be easily adjusted based on daily revised numbers.

The total fund allotted is formulated by the officer as

x3 – 5x2 – 2x – 6
The officer has also divided the fund equally among families of the village and
each family receives an amount of x2 + 2x + 1. After distribution, an amount of
11x + 1 should be left to have some buffer for future disbursements.
On the basis of the above information, answer the following questions.

further by 50 metres and now he spots the same car at an angle of depression
of 45° and a lorry parked at B’ at an angle of depression of 30 °
(Use √3 = 1.73)

6
 The measurement of Rishu facing vertically is the height. Distance is defined
as the measurement of car/lorry from a point in a horizontal direction. If an
imaginary line is drawn from the observation point the top edge of the
car/lorry, a triangle is formed by the vertical horizontal and imaginary line.
