Assertion (A): A line in space cannot be drawn perpendicular to \( x \), \( y \), and \( z \) axes simultaneously. Reason (R): For any line making angles \( \alpha, \beta, \gamma \) with the positive directions of \( x \), \( y \), and \( z \) axes respectively, \[ \cos^2\alpha + \cos^2\beta + \cos^2\gamma = 1. \]
If \( A = \begin{bmatrix} -1 & a & 2 \\ 1 & 2 & x \\ 3 & 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \) and \( A^{-1} = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1 & 1 \\ -8 & 7 & -5 \\ b & y & 3 \end{bmatrix} \), find the value of \( (a + x) - (b + y) \).
According to recent research, air turbulence has increased in various regions around the world due to climate change. Turbulence makes flights bumpy and often delays the flights. Assume that an airplane observes severe turbulence, moderate turbulence or light turbulence with equal probabilities. Further, the chance of an airplane reaching late to the destination are \(55\%\), \(37\%\) and \(17\%\) due to severe, moderate and light turbulence respectively. On the basis of the above information, answer the following questions: (i) Find the probability that an airplane reached its destination (ii)If the airplane reached its destination late, find the probability that it was due to moderate turbulence.
