(Questions + Answers)
Q21. R = {(x,y): y = x + 5, x is a natural number less than 4}. Write R in roster form
and find its domain.
Answer: Natural numbers <4 → 1,2,3.
R = {(1,6),(2,7),(3,8)}
Domain = {1,2,3}
Q22. Evaluate n!/(n−2)! = 30. Find n.
Answer: n!/(n−2)! = n(n−1).
n(n−1)=30 → n²−n−30=0 → (n−6)(n+5)=0.
n = 6.
Q23. Find the derivative of y = √x + 1/√x.
Answer: Rewrite: y = x^(1/2) + x^(−1/2).
dy/dx = 1/(2√x) − 1/(2x^(3/2)).
Q24. If the basic price of an item is ■5000 and GST is 18%, find the total bill.
Answer: GST = 5000×0.18 = 900.
Total price = 5000 + 900 = ■5900.
Q25. Find the sum of first 20 terms of the sequence 5,10,15,...
Answer: AP: a=5, d=5, n=20.
S■ = n/2[2a+(n−1)d] = 20/2[10+95] = 1050.
Q27. A committee of 5 is formed from 6 men and 4 ladies. At least 2 ladies must be
included.
Answer: C(4,2)C(6,3)+C(4,3)C(6,2)+C(4,4)C(6,1) = 120+60+6 = 186.
Q28. Discuss the continuity of f(x) at x=2 if f(x)=2x+3 (x≤2) and x²+3 (x>2).
Answer: LHS=2(2)+3=7.
RHS=2²+3=7.
f(2)=7 → Function continuous.
Q29. A bag has 5 red and 7 black balls. Two balls drawn without replacement. Find
probability both are red.
Answer: P = (5/12)×(4/11) = 20/132 = 5/33.
Q30. Find sum to n terms of 7 + 77 + 777 + ...
Answer: General term: a■ = 7(10■−1)/9.
Q31. Find missing number: 2,6,12,20,30,?,56.
Answer: Pattern +4,+6,+8,+10,+12,+14 → Missing = 42.
Q32(i). Find domain and range of f(x) = −|x|.
Answer: Domain = R.
Range = (−∞,0].
Q32(ii). Find domain and range of f(x) = 1 − |x−2|.
Answer: Domain = R.
Range = (−∞,1].
Q34. In survey of 100 students: 60 like tea, 40 coffee, 20 both. Find only tea and
neither.
Answer: Only tea = 60−20 = 40.
Neither = 100−(60+40−20) = 20.
Q36(i). In how many ways can 10 students sit in 10 seats?
Answer: 10! = 3,628,800.
Q36(ii). If two students refuse to sit together, arrangements?
Answer: 10! − (9!×2) = 2,903,040.
Q36(iii). If they sit in a circle, arrangements?
Answer: Circular permutation = (10−1)! = 9! = 362,880.
Q38(i). Probability of getting two heads when tossing two coins.
Answer: Sample space: HH, HT, TH, TT.
P(HH)=1/4.
Q38(ii). Probability of not getting two heads.
Answer: 1 − 1/4 = 3/4.
