= [8] + [20] = [28]

OR
If A =  is a matrix satisfying AA’ = 9I, find x.
Ans.

Detailed Solution :
Given:

Since, AA' = 9I

Now, x² + 5 = 9
x² = 9 – 5
x² = 4
x = √4
x = ± 2
Also, 2x + 4 = 0
2x = – 4
x = − 4/2
So, x = – 2

Q.5. Find where the function f(x) = e^|x| is continuous and differentiable ?
Ans. Given that,
f(x) = e^|x|
The functions ex and |x| are continuous functions for all real value of x.
Since e^x  is differentiable everywhere but |x| is non-differentiable at x = 0.
Thus, the given functions f(x) = e^|x| is continuous everywhere but not differentiable at x = 0.

Q.6.The curve y = ^x1/5 has at (0, 0) is parallel to which axis?
Ans. Given that, y =x^1/5 On differentiating with respect to x, we get

So, the curve y =x1/5 has a vertical tangent at (0, 0), which is parallel to y-axis.

Q.7. If the directions cosines of a line are k, k, k, then find the value of k.
Ans. Since, direction cosines of a line are k, k and k.
∴ l = k, m = k and n = k
We know that, l² + m² + n² = 1
⇒ k² +k²+k² = 1
⇒ k² = 1/3
∴ k = ± 1/√3

Q.8. A number is chosen randomly from numbers 1 to 60. What is the probability that the chosen number is a multiple of 2 or 5?
Ans.
Let us suppose A : Number is multiple of 2.
Let us suppose B : Number is multiple of 5.
Then n(A) = 30
n(B) = 12
n(A ∩ B) = 6
⇒ P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A and B)

⇒  P(A or B) = 30/60 + 12/60 -6/60 = 36/60
⇒  P(A or B) = 3/5

Q.9. A card is picked at random from a pack of 52 playing cards. Given that the picked card is a queen, then what is the probability of this card to be a card of spade ?

Ans. 

A = {4, 5, 6} 

and B = {1, 2, 3, 4}
Here A ∩ B = {4}
P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B)
= 3/6 + 4/6 + 1/6 = 1

Q.20. If P(not A) = 0.7, P(B) = 0.7 and P(B/A) = 0.5, then find P(A/B).
Ans. P(notA) = 0.7 ⇒ 1 - P(A) = 0.7 ⇒  P(A) = 0.3
P(A ∩ B) = P(A) × P(B| A) = 0.3 x 0.5 = 0.15


Q.21. Check if the relation R on the set A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} defined as R = {(x, y) : y is divisible by x} is (i) symmetric (ii) transitive.
Ans. 

A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

R = {(x, y) : y is divisible by x}

(i) Symmetric
Let (x, y) ∈ R
y is divisible by x
∴ x is not necessarily divisible by y
(y, x) ∉ R
e.g., (1, 2) ∈ R
2 is divisible by 1
but 1 is not divisible by 2
(2, 1) ∈ R

Hence, Given Relation is not symmetric 1

(ii) Transitive Let (x, y) ∈ R
y is divisible by x ...(i)
and (y, z) ∈ R
z is divisible by y ...(ii)
From eq. (i) and eq. (ii)
z is divisible by x
(x, z) ∈ R
e.g., (1, 2) ∈ R
2 is divisible by 1 ...(i)
(2, 4) ∈ R

4 is divisible by 2 ...(ii)
From eq. (i) and eq. (ii)
4 is divisible by 1
(1, 4) ∈ R
Hence, given Relation is transitive.

Q.22. Prove that the curves y² = 4x and x² + y² – 6x + 1 = 0 touch each other at the point (1, 2).
Ans. Wave, y² = 4x and x² + y² – 6x + 1 = 0
Since, both the curves touch each other at (1, 2), i.e., curves are passing through (1, 2).


Thus, we see that slope of both the curves are equal to each other, i.e., m₁ = m₂ = 1 at the point (1, 2).
Hence, both the curves touch each other.

Q.23. If x = a cos θ; y = b sin q, then find d²y/dx².
Ans. Here x = acos θ, y = bsin θ

OR

⇒ -2^-y + 2^-x = + Clog2
⇒ 2^-x -2^-y = -Clog2
⇒ 2^-x - 2^-y = k [where, k = +Clog2]

Q.25. Find :
Ans.



Q.26. A die, whose faces are marked 1, 2, 3 in red and 4, 5, 6 in green, is tossed. Let A be the event “number obtained is even” and B be the event “number obtained is red”. Find if A and B are independent events.
Ans. Event A  : Number obtained is even B  : Number obtained is red.
P(A) = 3/6 = 1/2, P(B) = 3/6 = 1/2

P (A∩B) = P (getting an even red number) = 1/6

SinceP(A) · P(B) = 1/2,1/2· = 1/4 ≠ P(A ∩ B)
which is 1/6
∴ A and B are not independent events.

Q.27. Show that f : N → N, given by f(x) =  is both one-one and onto.
Ans. Let x₁ be odd and x₂ be even and suppose
f(x₁) = f(x₂)
or x₁ + 1 = x₂ – 1
or x₂ – x₁ = 2, which is not possible
Similarly, if x₂ is odd and x₁ is even, not possible to have
f(x₁) = f(x₂)
Let x₁ and x₂ be both odd
or f(x₁) = f(x₂) or x₁ = x₂
Similarly, if x₁ and x₂ are both even, then also
x₁ = x₂
∴ f is one-one.
Also, any odd number 2r + 1 in co-domain N is the image of (2r + 2) in domain N and any even number 2r in the co-domain N is the image of (2r – 1) in domain N
∴ f is onto.

Detailed Solution:
Suppose f(x₁) = f(x₂).

Note that if x₁ is odd and x₂ is even,
then we will have x₁ + 1 = x₂ – 1
or x₁ – x₂ = – 2
which is impossible.
Similarly, the possibility of x₁ being even and x₂ being odd can also be ruled out, using the similar argument.
Therefore, both x₁ and x2 must be either odd or even.
Suppose both x₁ and x₂ are odd,
then f(x₁) = f(x₂)
or x₁ + 1 = x₂ + 1
or x₁ = x₂.
Similarly, if both x₁ and x₂ are even,
then also f(x₁) = f(x₂)
or x₁ – 1 = x₂ – 1
or x₁ = x₂.

Thus, f is on e-one.
Also, let x be an arbitrary element in N.
If x is odd, then there exists an even number x + 1 ∈
N such that f(x + 1) = x + 1 – 1 = x.

Similarly, if x is even, then there exists an odd number x – 1 ∈ N such that
f(x – 1) = x – 1 + 1 = x.

Hence, f is on e-one as well as onto.

Q.28. If the following function is differentiable at x = 2, then find the values of a and b:

Ans. Since, f is differentiable at x = 2, therefore f is continuous at x = 2

by eqn. (i), 2a + b = 4

∴ 4 = a By (ii)
and b = 4 – 2a = – 4
Hence, value of a = 4 and b = – 4.

Subject to the constraints
x + 2y ≥ 100
2x – y ≤ 0
2x + y ≤ 200

Solve the above LPP graphically.
Ans.
Z = x + 2y and x + 2y ≥ 100, 2x – y ≤ 0, 2x + y ≤ 200, x, y ≥ 0
For correct graph of three lines
For correct shading ABCD
Z(A) = 0 + 400 = 400
Z(B) = 50 + 200 = 250
Z(C) = 20 + 80 = 100
Z(D) = 0 + 100 = 100
Max (Z = 400) at x = 0, y = 200

Q.32. Solve the following L.P.P. graphically:
Maximize Z = 100x + 120y
Subject to the constraints: 5x + 8y ≤ 200
10x + 8y ≤ 240
and x, y ≥ 0
Ans. 
Given L.P.P. is:
Maximize Z = 100x + 120y
Subject to 5x + 8y ≤ 200
10x + 8y ≤ 240
and x, y ≥ 0
To solve the LPP graphically first we convert inequalities into equations and draw the corresponding lines.

Then,

Clearly maximum value Z = 3200 is obtained at x = 8 and y = 20

OR
Solve the following L.P.P. graphically :
Maximize Z = 7x + 4y
Subject to the constraints: 3x + 2y ≤ 12
3x + y ≤ 9
and x, y ≥ 0
Ans.
Given L.PP is:
Maximise Z = 7x + 4y
Subject to constraints,
3x + 2y ≤ 12
3x + y ≤ 9
x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0



Hence max value Z = 26 is obtained at x = 2 and y = 3.

Q.33. Show that the relation R on the set Z of all integers defined by (x, y) ∈ R ⇔ (x – y) is divisible by 3 is an equivalence relation.
Ans. (x – x) = 0 is divisible by 3 for all x ∈ Z. So, (x, x) ∈ R

∴ R is reflexive
So (x, y) ∈ R implies (y, x) ∈ R, x, y ∈ Z
⇒ R is symmetric,
(x – y) is divisible by 3 and (y – z) is divisible by 3.
So (x – z) = (x – y) + (y – z) is divisible by 3.
∴ (x, z) ∈ R ⇒ R is transitive
Hence, R is an equivalence relation.

Q.36. If length of three sides of a trapezium other than base are equal to 10 cm, then find the area of the trapezium when it is maximum.
Ans. 
The required trapezium is as given in figure.
Draw perpendiculars DP and CQ on AB. Let AP = x cm. Note that ΔAPD ≌ ΔBQC.
Therefore, QB = x cm. Also, by Pythagoras theorem QP =
Let A be the area of the trapezium.

Then, A ≡ A(x)
= 1/2 (sum of parallel sides) × (height)

Now, A’(x)  = 0 gives 2x² + 10x – 100 = 0,
i.e., x = 5 and x = – 10.
So, x = 5.

Now, A”(x) =

Thus, area of trapezium is maximum at x = 5 and the maximum area is given by

OR
Find the point on the curve y² = 4x, which is nearest to the point (2, – 8).
Ans. Let P (x, y) be any point on the curve y² = 4x

Let ds/dy = 0 ⇒ y³ = -64 ⇒ y = -4

∴ s or z is minimum at y = –4; x = y²/4 = 4
∴ The nearest point is P(4, –4)

Detailed Solution:
The equation of the given curve is y² = 4x
∴ x = y²/4  ...(i)
Let P(x, y) be a point on the curve, which is nearest to point A(2, – 8).
Now, distance between the points A and P is given by:


Fr maximum or minimum value of z, we have
dz/dy = 0

[∵ y² – 4y + 16 = 0 gives imaginary values of y]

Thus, z is minimum when y = – 4
Substituting y = – 4 in the equation of the curve y² = 4x, we obtain x = 4.
Hence, the point (4, – 4) on the curve y² = 4x is nearest to the point (2, – 8).
