Section A
A school is organizing a grand cultural event to show the talent of its students. To accommodate the guests, the school plans to rent chairs and tables from a local supplier. It finds that rent for each chair is ₹50 and for each table is ₹200. The school spends ₹30,000 for renting the chairs and tables. Also, the total number of items (chairs and tables) rented are 300.
If the school 'x' chairs and 'y' tables, answer the following questions:
(1) Find the number of chairs and number of tables rented by the school.
[2 Marks](2) What is maximum number of tables that can be rented in ₹30,000 if no chairs are rented?
[1 Marks](3) Write down the pair of linear equations representing the given information.
[1 Marks](4) If the school wants to spend a maximum of Rs 27,000 on 300 items (tables and chairs), then find the number of chairs and tables it can rent.

In a cricket match, a batsman hits the boundary 7 times out of the 42 balls he plays. The probability of his not hitting a boundary is:
If sin 30° tan 45° = sec 60° / k, then the value of k is:
If - 4 is a zero of the polynomial p(x) = x² - x - (2 + 2k), then the value of k is:
Assertion (A) : The pair of linear equations px + 3y + 59 = 0 and 2x + 6y + 118 = 0 will have infinitely many solutions if p = 1.
Reason (R): If the pair of linear equations px + 3y + 19 = 0 and 2x + 6y + 157 = 0 has a unique solution, then p≠1.
Section E

Section G
Two ships are sailing in the sea on either side of a lighthouse. The angles of depression to the two ships as observed from the top of the lighthouse are 60° and 45°, respectively. If the distance between the ships is 100 (1 + √3 / √3) m, then find the height of the lighthouse.
The time taken by a person to travel an upward distance of 150 km was 2x1/2 hours more than the time taken in the downward return journey. If he returned at a speed of 10 km/h more than the speed while going up, find the speeds in each direction.
