22) From the given formula it is clear that for every 100 oxide ions there are only 98 nickel
ions. Suppose, out of 98 nickel ions x exist as Ni+2 and the remaining (98 – x) exist as Ni+3.
Total positive charge on 98 nickel ions
= x × 2 + (98 – x) × 3 = 2x + 3 (98 – x)
Total negative charge on 100 oxide ions
= 100 × 2 = 200
Due to electrical neutrality 2x + 3 (98 – x) = 200
x = 94
∴ Fraction of nickel as Ni+2 =

Explain the question: Identify the isotropic (non-anisotropic) substance(s).

Concept: Crystalline solids are anisotropic, whereas amorphous solids are isotropic.

Solution:
Crystalline solids, such as sodium bromide (NaBr), possess a regular and highly ordered
long-range arrangement of constituent particles. This order causes certain physical properties-
like electrical conductivity, refractive index, and mechanical strength-to show different values
depending on the direction of measurement. This property is known as anisotropy. In
contrast, amorphous solids like glass, plastic, and rubber lack such long-range order, having
a more random, liquid-like particle distribution. Due to this randomness, their physical
properties are identical in all directions, a characteristic called isotropy.
Therefore, amorphous substances do not show anisotropy.

Question Explanation: Finding the number of elements in an inverse relation.

Concept: Inverse of a Relation and Division Property.
Solution:

A. Sets: A={2,3,4,5} and B={3,6,7,10}.

B. Relation R : Defined by (a,b) such that a divides b.
C. Identifying pairs in R :
D. 2 divides 6 and 10→(2,6),(2,10)
E. 3 divides 3 and 6→(3,3),(3,6)
F. 4 divides none of the elements in B.
G. 5 divides 10→(5,10)
H. Relation R set: {(2,6),(2,10),(3,3),(3,6),(5,10)}.
I. Since the inverse relation R-1 is formed by swapping the elements of each pair in R, the
number of elements in R–1 is equal to the number of elements in R.
J. Total elements in R=5, therefore, total elements in R–1=5.

Final Answer: Option (4)

40) The point on the circle is (3cosθ, 3sinθ, 0)

0 0 0
⊥ distance of point (x , y , z ) from plan is

using maximum value of acosθ + bsinθ is

P3 : x + λy + z – 1 = 0

Also ⇒ λ2 – 2λ + 1 = λ2 + 2 ⇒ λ =
And

⇒ 2α – β + 2γ – 2 = ±6
⇒ 2α – β + 2γ – 8 = 0 or 2α – β + 2γ + 4 = 0

43) Roots of the equation y3 – x3y2 – x2y – x1 = 0 are 3, 5 and 7

x3 = 15, x2 = – 71, x1 = 105

44) ƒ = x(x3 – 6x – 8)

ƒ:

45) 83x9 + 9.82x6 + 27.8x3 – 512x + 219 = 0

(8x3)3 + 3.(8x3)2.3 + 3(8x3).(3)2 + 27 = 512x – 192
[8x3 + 3]3 = 512x – 192
8x3 + 3 = (512x – 192)1/3

⇒ ƒ(x) = ƒ–1(x)
⇒ ƒ(x) = x [∵ ƒ(x) is continuous and ↑ function]

⇒
⇒ (2x – 1) (4x2 + 2x – 3) = 0

⇒ ∴
46) Solution:
f(x) = |x + 3| – |x + 1| – |x – 1| + |x – 3|
x 3
f(x) = x + 3 – x– 1 – x + 1 + x – 3 = 0
1 x<3
f(x) = x + 3 – x – 1 – x + 1 – x + 3 = 6 – 2x
–1 x < 1
f(x) = x + 3 – x – 1 + x – 1 – x + 3 = 4
–3 x < – 1
f(x) = x + 3 + x + 1 + x – 1 – x + 3 = 2x + 6
x<–3
f(x) = – x – 3 + x + 1 + x – 1 – x + 3 = 0

Range = [0,4]
f(x)max = 4
f(x) = 4 for x ∈ [–1,1]
f(x) = 0 for x ∈ (–∞,–3] ∪ [3,∞)
Final Answer: Option (2,3,4)

47) Solution:
(1) f : R → R, f(x) = 3x + sin x
⇒ f'(x) = 3 + cos x
as cos x ∈ [–1, 1]
⇒ 3 + cos x ∈ [2, 4]
∴ f'(x) > 0
⇒ f(x) is strictly increasing function
⇒ f(x) is one-one function
Also, x → ∞ then f(x) → ∞
x → –∞ then f(x) → –∞
∴ Range of f(x) = R = co-domain
⇒ f(x) is onto.
Hence f(x) is bijective function.

(2) f : R → R, f(x) = 3x3 – 2x2 + x

f'(x) = 9x2 – 4x + 1
a = 9 and D = 16 – 4 (9) < 0
⇒ f'(x) > 0
⇒ f(x) is increasing function
⇒ f(x) is one-one function
and f(x) is odd degree polynomial ⇒ Range = R
⇒ f(x) is onto function
⇒ f(x) is bijective function

(3) f : R – {2} → R – {1},

Let f(x1) = f(x2)

⇒ x1x2 – 2x1 – x2 + 2 = x1x2 – 2x2 – x1 + 2

⇒ x1 = x2

⇒ one-one function and let

⇒ xy – 2y = x – 1

for x to be defined, y ≠ I
⇒ Range = R – {1} = co-domain ⇒ onto
∴ f(x) is bijective function.

(4)

⇒ not one-one
⇒ f(x) is not bijective function.

Final Answer: Option (1), (2), (3)

48)

ƒ(2) = 3 ƒ(1) ≠ 2
ƒ(4) = 5 ƒ(3) ≠ 4
so there are total 3 possibilities
Case-I : ƒ={(1,1), (2,3), (3,2), (4,5), (5,4)}
Case-II : ƒ={(1,4), (2,3), (3,1), (4,5),(5,2)}
Case-III : ƒ = {(1,4), (2,3), (3,2), (4,5), (5,1)}
so ƒ–1(2) can be 3 or 5

49) Rearrange the equation as

for x>1 ; LHS > 0

for x=1 ; LHS = 0
for 0 < x < 1 ; LHS < 0
for x = 0 ; LHS = 0
for –1 < x < 0 ; LHS > 0
for x = –1 ; LHS = 0
for x < –1 ; LHS < 0
So, solutions are x ∈ {–1, 0, 1}

50) Let ex = y, so f(y) y2 + (k – 1)e.y + k = 0

f(0) > 0

⇒k>0
f(1) < 0
1 + (k – 1)e + k < 0
k(1 + e) < e – 1

[k] = 0

51)

na = 48, nb = 96
 na +
48 + 24b(n – 1) = 2160
48 + 24 × 96 – 24b = 2160
b = 8 and a = 4, n = 12
n + a + b = 24

52) Let

∴
⇒ –x (8 + x) + y(10 – y) = 40
⇒ x2 + y2 + 8x – 10y + 40 = 0
⇒ (x + 4)2 + (y – 5)2 = 1
∴ lies on circle with centre (–4, 5) and radius 1

is distance of from (–2, 3)

∴ Minimum = distance between (–2, 3) and (–4, 5) – radius

and
∴ m + M = 18

⇒
Now, applying A.M. ≥ G.M.

(48)3 ≥ (4 ⋅ 3 ⋅ 2 ⋅ 36 ⋅ 2 ⋅ V2)
⇒V≤8
