37. In a residential society comprising of 100 houses, there were 60

children between the ages of 10 – 15 years. They were inspired by their
teachers to start composting to ensure that biodegradable waste is
recycled. For this purpose, instead of each child doing it for only his/her
house, children convinced the Residents Welfare Association to do it as a
society initiative. For this they identified a square area in the local park.
Local authorities charged an amount of Rs. 50/- per square metre for
Space so that there is no misuse of the space and Resident Welfare
Association takes it seriously. Association hired a labourer for digging out 250 𝑚3 and
he charged Rs. 400 × (𝑑𝑒𝑝𝑡ℎ)2. Association will like to have minimum cost.

38. The reality of Dengue fever test is specified as follows:

Of the people having Dengue, 90% of the test detects the disease but
10% goes undetected. Of the people free of Dengue, 99% of the test is
judged Dengue negative but 1% are diagnosed as showing Dengue
positive. From a large population of which only 0.1% have Dengue
fever. one person is selected at random, given Dengue fever test, and
pathologist reports him/her as Dengue positive .
 Based on the information, answer the following questions.
(i) What is the probability that the test result is positive ?
(ii) What is the probability that the person is actually having Dengue
given that the test result is positive.
