- ‘Rewton Ltd.’ was a reputed computer software company providing unique software all over India. The turnover of the company was very high resulting in good profits. The Chief Executive Officer, Vihaan, was very strict and disciplined. He specified the boundaries of authority and responsibility for achieving organizational goals. There was systematic coordination among the various activities and specific relationships among various job positions. The company provided facilities like a canteen, a gym, a library, a music room, and a rest area for its employees, which they could use during rest intervals. Using these facilities, the employees developed friendships and discussed not only their personal, social and emotional issues, but also the official ones.
The General Manager was of a different view. He told the Chief Executive Officer that there was no use providing these facilities to the employees as it is an extra financial burden on the organization on one hand and on the other hand, it encourages groupism and whenever any change is required in the organization, they all resist. He suggested that they should do away with these facilities. But the Chief Executive Officer, Vihaan, explained to the General Manager that this type of social interaction is necessary, and is in the best interest of the organization. These interactions among people at work give rise to a network of social relationships among employees and have many benefits.- [(i)] Identify and explain the type of organisation whose existence the Chief Executive Officer felt was necessary.
- [(ii)] State any two advantages and two disadvantages of the type of organisation identified in (i) above.
(a) Identify and explain the function of management discussed in the above para.
(b) Explain any four points of importance of the function identified in (a).- Inspired by the success of Chandrayaan-3, the Chief Scientist at 'Space Rover' a private research group, decided to send some innovative ideas regarding the mission to the Chief Scientist of Chandrayaan-3. The Chief Scientist at 'Space Rover' formed four groups for the same. As it was an intellectual activity of thinking rather than doing, these four groups started interacting with each other and friendships developed. On the basis of their interaction and friendship, some members from each group formed 'Entertainment Through Reading' group which showed conformity in terms of their interest. 'Entertainment Through Reading' group had no written rules, was unstable in form and scope and had no fixed lines of communication. The members of this group enhanced the morale of each other, enjoyed drinking coffee together, read books, served different issues of their work areas and provided support to each other. Ultimately this group developed some innovative ideas which were sent by 'Space Rover' to the Chief Scientist of Chandrayaan-3. Though this group was formed for recreation but it contributed towards fulfillment of organisational objectives.
(a) Identify and explain the type of organization which emerged as 'Entertainment Through Reading'. - 'Cortico Fabrics' was started by Ashish in 2001 to sell bed sheets, towels, comforters, pillows, cushions, bath mats etc. It is now a famous name and its branches are across India. To manage the work all over India, it has eight teams-two each for North, South, East and West India. Ashish spends a considerable amount of time to develop an orderly pattern of group efforts among different teams and to secure unity of action in pursuit of a common purpose. To ensure suitable allocation of tasks to the various members of the teams and to see that the tasks are performed with harmony among the members, he tries to balance the different teams at different locations.

Three friends A, B, and C move out from the same location O at the same time in three different directions to reach their destinations. They move out on straight paths and decide that A and B after reaching their destinations will meet up with C at his pre-decided destination, following straight paths from A to C and B to C in such a way that \( \overrightarrow{OA} = \hat{i}, \overrightarrow{OB} = \hat{j} \), and \( \overrightarrow{OC} = 5 \hat{i} - 2 \hat{j} \), respectively.
Based upon the above information, answer the following questions:
(i) Complete the given figure to explain their entire movement plan along the respective vectors.}
(ii) Find vectors \( \overrightarrow{AC} \) and \( \overrightarrow{BC} \).}
(iii) (a) If \( \overrightarrow{a} = 2 \hat{i} - \hat{j} + 4 \hat{k} \), distance of O to A is 1 km, and from O to B is 2 km, then find the angle between \( \overrightarrow{OA} \) and \( \overrightarrow{OB} \). Also, find \( | \overrightarrow{a} \times \overrightarrow{b} | \).}
(iii) (b) If \( \overrightarrow{a} = 2 \hat{i} - \hat{j} + 4 \hat{k} \), find a unit vector perpendicular to \( (\overrightarrow{a} + \overrightarrow{b}) \) and \( (\overrightarrow{a} - \overrightarrow{b}) \).- A woman discovered a scratch along a straight line on a circular table top of radius 8 cm. She divided the table top into 4 equal quadrants and discovered the scratch passing through the origin inclined at an angle \( \frac{\pi}{4} \) anticlockwise along the positive direction of x-axis. Find the area of the region enclosed by the x-axis, the scratch and the circular table top in the first quadrant, using integration.
