Q.11 The tendency of an ecosystem to maintain its balance by regulatory mechanisms when disrupted, is known as
(A) Homeostasis (B) Entropy (C) Succession (D) Evolution
It is also known as a biological equilibrium. This is also referred as a balance of nature. An ecosystem maintains a biological equilibrium between the different components and is referred as a homeostasis. It keeps on changing with the time and is not static. The balance is maintained by the number of factors. These include the carrying capacity of the environment and the capacity for recycling of the waste. The effect of density on the reproductive potential deals with the self regulation. The one component of ecosystem keeps a check on the population of the other component and this system is referred as a feedback system. The feedback systems are of different types. They can be positive or negative. The increase in the population of the organisms at the different levels increases the population of organisms at a lower level and is known as the positive feedback. For example, when the population of plants increases it leads to increase in the population of herbivore animals. It increases the population of frogs and birds. Similarly, the increased population of insectivorous animals acts on the herbivorous insect by the process of predation. This is known as the negative feedback.

Q. 61 to Q. 65 carry two marks each.
Solution 61
f(a, y) = 3a; + 6y = 3(a + 2y)
maximum value of a + 2y is given by equation 2 which is 8 (a + 2y 3–8)
i.e. maximum value of f(a!, y) = 3 + (8) = 24
f(a:, y) = 24 can be obtained by putting a = 4/3 & y = 10/3
Solution 62
∣4X −7 ∣= 5 ,
since it is in absolute form the regular form of this equation is given as
(4X −7) = 5
(4X −7) = −5
By solving the above equations we get the following answer
X = 1/2, X = 3
Now 2 | X | – | –X|=2 | X | – | X = X|.

Q. 61 to Q. 65 carry two marks each.
Solution 61
f(a, y) = 3a; + 6y = 3(a + 2y)
maximum value of a + 2y is given by equation 2 which is 8 (a + 2y 3–8)
i.e. maximum value of f(a!, y) = 3 + (8) = 24
f(a:, y) = 24 can be obtained by putting a = 4/3 & y = 10/3
Solution 62
∣4X −7 ∣= 5 ,
since it is in absolute form the regular form of this equation is given as
(4X −7) = 5
(4X −7) = −5
By solving the above equations we get the following answer
X = 1/2, X = 3
Now 2 | X | – | –X|=2 | X | – | X = X|.
