Answer:

Value of k is \displaystyle\frac{3}{8}      

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

f(x) = kx^2, 0\leq x \leq 2\\~~~~~~~= 0, \text{ otherwise}

where x is the time elapses between the end of the hour and the end of the lecture.

We have to find the values of k.

Since, f(x) is the pdf, then,

\displaystyle\int^\infty_{-\infty} f(x) = 1\\\\\displaystyle\int^2_{0} f(x) = 1\\\\\displaystyle\int^2_{0} kx^2 = 1\\\\k\bigg[\frac{x^3}{3}\bigg]^2_0 = 1\\\\k\times \frac{8}{3} = 1\\\\k = \frac{3}{8}

Hence, value of k is \displaystyle\frac{3}{8}

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

let cp be x

sp= 115x/100 ---(when 15%gain)

sp = 88x/100------(when 12% loss

according to question

115x/100 - 88x/100 = 81

or, (115x-88x)= 8100

or, 27x = 8100

or, x= 8100/27

x = 300

hence cp is RS 300
