PART  II 
 
1.  A  tennis match  of  best  of  5  sets  is  played  by  two  players  A  and  B.  The  probability  that first  set is 
won  by  A  is 
1

 and  if  he looses  the  first then  probability  of  his  winning  of  next  set  is 
1

 otherwise  it 
remains same. Find the probability that A wins the match. 
 
2.  Find the area between the curve y = 
2
4 x   and the locus of the point P which moves such that the 
sum of its distances from the coordinate axes is equal to its distance from the curve y = 
2
4 x  . 
 
3.  Evaluate

4.  Let P be any point in the first quadrant on a curve passing through (3, 3) and the slope of the curve at 
any point in the first quadrant is negative. The foot of the perpendicular from P to x-axis is the point A 
and to y-axis is the point B. Tangent at P intersects with x-axis at point R and with y-axis at point Q. 
Now if 2(Area (APAR)) + Area (ABPQ) = 
2
3
(Area of rectangle OAPB), for all positions of P, where O 
is the origin, then find all possible curves on which P can lie. Also find the minimum distance of P from 
the origin on each curve.
