possibilities are mutually exclusive. The void set is a finite set of cardinality zero.
A set having only one element is called, a

1.1.A.(i) Roster Method (Tabular Form) n is called an infinite set.
In this method a set is described by listing elements,
separated by commas, within braces. For example,
the set of odd natural numbers can be described as

Thus {a, e, i, o, u} and {e, a, o, u, i} denote the same Let A = {1, 2, 5, 8} and B = {5, 8, 2,1}. Then A = B
set. Also, repetition of an element has no effect. For because each element of A is an element of B and
example {1, 3, 1, 2} is the same set as { 1, 2, 3}. vice-versa.

1.1.A.(ii) Set Builder method 1.1.E Subsets


In this method, a set is described by a characterizing Let A and B be two sets. If every element of A is a
property, P (x) of its elements x. In such a case the member of B, then A is called a subset of B.
set is described by {xP(x) holds} or {x: P(x) If A is a subset of B, we write A⊆B, Which is read

P(x) holds true for them‟. The symbol „‟ or „:‟ is Thus A⊆B if α ∈ A ⇒ α ∈ B.

In this representation the set of all positive multiples or B is a superset of A and we write B ⊇A.

x = 3n for n ∈ N} Obviously every set is a subset (superset) of itself

and – 5 < x < 1}. A subset D of a set A is called a proper subset of A if
D ≠ A and we write D ⊊ A or D ⊂ A.
1.1.B Null set Thus, if D is a proper subset of A, then there exists
an element x ∈A such the x ∉ D.

no elements. There is only one empty set and we Thus whenever we want to prove that two sets A and
denote it by ø. B are equal, we must prove that A ⊆ B and B ⊆ A.

Note: Let A be a finite set having n elements. Then


the total number of subsets of A is 2n.

For example, let A = {1,2} then the subsets of A are: 1.2 VENN DIAGRAMS

1.1.F Power Set: 1.2.A Basics of Venn Diagrams


Let A be a set. Then the family of all subsets of A is Venn diagram also known as Euler-Venn diagram is
called the power set of A and is denoted by P (A). a simple representation of sets by diagrams. The

Since the void set ø and the set A itself are always set and circles enclosed in it for sets under

For example, Let A = {1, 2, 3}. Then the subsets of Following are the Venn diagrams of sets with basic
A are ø, {1}, {2},{3},{1,2},{2,3},{1,3} and {1,2,3}. operations:
Hence P(A) = {ø ,{1},

A B
If A is the void set ø, then P (A) has just one element
:ø.
So, if A is a finite set having n elements, then P (A)
has 2n elements.

1.1.G Universal Set


In any discussion in set theory, there happens to be a
set U that contains all the sets under consideration.
Such a set is called the universal set. Thus a set that
contains all sets in a given context is called the 1.2.A.(ii) Intersection of sets: A∩ B
universal set.
For example, when talking about sets of students of a A B
class the entire list of students of that class is the
universal set, similarly in plane geometry the set of
all points in the plane is the universal set. A B

Let A and B be two sets. The symmetric difference

Venn diagrams have huge application in the s = number of elements that belong to sets A and B
problems based on Inclusion- Exclusion principle i.e. only
n ( A U B) = n(A ) + n ( B ) – n ( A∩ B) t = number of elements that belong to sets A and C
n (A U B U C) = n(A ) + n ( B ) + n (C) – n ( A∩ B) only
– n ( B ∩ C) – n ( C ∩ A) + n ( A∩ B ∩ C ) u = number of elements that belong to sets B and C
And so on, Where n( A) = number of elements in set only

25 y = 120 – 80 = 40
n(T U C) = 80 + 60 + 40 = 180

X = 40 – 5 = 35 of tea or coffee = n (only Tea )+ n (only
Y = 30 – 5 = 25 coffee ) + n (both Tea & coffee ) = 60 + 40
Using the Venn diagram we can answer all + 80 = 180
the questions very easily Or simply exclude 20 from 200

(iii) Associative laws:
read as „a is related to b, by the relation R‟.
(a) A ∪ (B ∪ C) = ( A∪B) ∪ C

If (a, b) R, then we write a R b and we say that „a is
(iv) Distributive laws:
not related to b, by the relation R‟.
(a) A ∩ (B ∪ C) = ( A∩B) ∪ ( A∩C)
(b) A ∪ (B ∩ C) = ( A∪B) ∩( A∪C)
(v) De Morgan‟s rules: 1.3.D Domain:

(b) (A ∪ B)‟ = A‟ ∩ B ‟ set of all first components or coordinates of the
(c) ( A∩ B) ‟ = A‟ ∪ B ‟ ordered pairs belonging to R is called the domain of

Thus, domain of R = {a : (a, b)  R}
So, domain of R  A

1.3.E Range:
Let R be a relation from a set A to a set B. Then the
set of all second components or coordinates of the
ordered pairs belonging to R is called the range of R.
Thus, range of R = {b: (a, b) R}
So, range of R  B.

Example: A = {1, 3, 5, 7} , B = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}


R = {(1, 8), (3, 6), (5, 2), (1, 4)}

Clearly, (a, b)  R  (b, a)  R-1
Also, Domain of R = Range of R-1 Example: A = {1, 2, 3, 4}
and Range of R = Domain of R-1 R = {(1, 3), (1, 4), (3, 1), (2, 2), (4, 1)}
Then R is a symmetric relation on A.

3. On the set N of natural numbers the relation transitive as there is nothing that is
R is defined by x R y  x is less than y contradicting them. So R is an equivalence
4. Let R be a relation on the set of all lines in a relation. So, 3rd option
plane defined by (l1, l2)  R  line l1 is
parallel to line l2.
Sol. (i) (x, y)  R  x y. R is reflexive and
transitive, because x  x is always true so R is
reflexive. Also, x  y and y  z  x  z so R is
transitive.
(ii) (x, y)  R  x is perpendicular to y. Then
R is symmetric, because x perpendicular to y
y is perpendicular to x.
(iii) x R y  x is less than y . Then R is
transitive, because x < y and y < z  x < z.
(iv) (l1, l2)  R  line l1 is parallel to line l2.
Then R is reflexive, symmetric and transitive
therefore an equivalence relation.

Ex 2: Let R and S be two non-void relations on a set


A. Which of the following statements is false?

1. R and S are transitive ⇒ R  S is transitive.


2. R and S are transitive ⇒ R  S is transitive
3. R and S are symmetric ⇒ R  S is
symmetric
4. R and S are reflexive ⇒ R  S is reflexive
Sol. 1st option (see theory)

Ex 3: R is a relation on the set Z of integers and it is


given by (x, y)  R  |x – y|  1. Then, R is

1. reflexive and transitive


2. reflexive and symmetric
3. symmetric and transitive 4. An equivalence relation
Sol. |x – x|  1  R is reflexive.
|x – y|  1  |y – x|  1, so R is symmetric.
But R is not transitive as, 2 R 3 and 3 R 4 but 2
is not related to 4. So, 2nd option

If n is a positive integer, (a + x)n can be expanded as Sol. As expansion is of the form (a + x)n, so rth term

Similarly (x + a)n can be expanded as Sol. As expansion is of the form (a + x)n, so rth term
(x + a)n = xn + nC1 xn–1a + nC1 xn–2 a2 + nC1 xn–3 a3 + ... = an – r + 1 x r – 1 [{n (n – 1) (n – 2) ... (n – r + 2)}

And if in this case if particular term say ‘r’th is asked, x4 will come in 5th term.
then instead of applying the whole expansion, the Hence we have to find the 5th term of the
following direct formula can be applied to find the expansion.
‘r’ th term Here r = 5 and n = 8.
‘r’th term = xn–r+1ar – 1[{n(n – 1)(n – 2)...(n – r + 2)} So 5th term of (3 + x)8 =3 8 – 5 + 1. x5 – 1

maximum frequency is called the mode. For Consider there are two sections in class X, section A
Example, and section B. In section A, there are 3 students
Let the marks obtained by 10 students of a class in a whose marks obtained are 30, 40, and 50. In section

50, 60, 70, and 80. What should be the average of
2, 2, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8 whole class X?

Mode = 8 (occurring 3 times) One way to calculate the average is combining the
average of both sections as follows:
Ex 1: The heights (in cm) of 9 students in a class are: Average marks of section A = 40 and Average marks
155, 160, 145, 148, 151, 147, 152, 144, 148 of section B = 60
Find mean, median and mode. So, average marks of class X = (40 + 60)/2 = 50
Sol. Let’s arrange the data in ascending order,
144, 145, 147, 148, 148, 151, 152, 155, 160 Other way is combining the marks of all the students
Mean = (144 + 145 + 147 + 148 + 148 + 151 + of section A and section B as follows:
152 + 155 + 160)/9 = 1350/9 = 150 cm Total marks of combining both sections = (30 + 40 +
Median = 148 cm (middle value) 50) + (40 + 50 + 60 + 70 + 80) = 420
Mode = 148 cm (occurring 2 times) So, required average marks of class X = 420/8 = 52.5

Ex 2: The heights (in cm) of 9 students in a class are: Here, the former way of calculating the average is

7.2.F Adjoint of a square matrix (Definition)


Let = [aij] be a square matrix of order n × n, and Cij be the cofactor of aij in A. Then the transpose of the matrix
of cofactors of elements in A is called the adjoint of A and is denoted by adj A.
Thus, adj A = [Cij]T
∴ (adj A)ij = Cji = Cofactor of aji in A.

7.2.G Theorem
If A is an n-rowed square matrix, then
A (adj A) = |A| In = (adj A) A
Hence A (adj A) is a diagonal matrix with each diagonal element |A|.
∴ A (adj A) = |A| In.
Similarly, (adj A) A = |A| In
Hence A (adj A) = |A| In = (adj A) A.

Now, A ∪ B = A + B – A ∩ B y = – x which lies in second and fourth quadrants.
Solving, A ∩ B = 83 + 78 – A ∪ B These two curves do not intersect.
Considering, A ∪ B ≤ 100 ⇒ A ∩ B ≥ 61 Hence A ∩ B = ø.
So, minimum value of x (A ∩ B) = 61 8. We have,
Now, A ∩ B ⊂ A and A ∩ B ⊂ B, bN = {bxx ∈ N}
So, we have, A ∩ B ≤ A and A ∩ B ≤ B = the set of positive integral multiples of b
So, maximum value of A ∩ B = min (83, 78) = 78 cN = {cxx ∈ N}
Hence, 61 ≤ x ≤ 78. = the set of positive integral multiples of c

For n = 1, we have, 8 – 7 – 1 = 0 c N = {cxx ∈ N}
Thus, 8n – 7n – 1 is a multiple of 49 for n ∈ N = the set of positive integral multiples of c
So, X consists of all positive integral multiples of ∴ bN ∩ cN = the set of positive integral multiples of

Therefore P ∩ Q = ø ∩ X) + (X ∩ Y ∩ Z)

B consists of points on y = e –x, these two curves 2% = 70%

1. Let (a,b) ∈ R. Then It can be easily verified that R is transitive.
(a,b) ∈ R ⇒ (b, a) ∈ R – 1 11. Since R and S are reflexive relations on A
(by def. of R – 1) Therefore, (a, a) ∈ R, (a, a) ∈ S for all a ∈ A
⇒ (b, a) ∈ R (∵ R = R – 1) ⇒ (a, a) ∈ R ∩ S for all a ∈ A
∴ R is symmetric ⇒ R ∩ S is reflexive.
2. For any a ∈ N, we find that a R a Let (a, b) ∈ R ∩ S. Then
Therefore, R is reflexive but R is not symmetric (a, b) ∈ R ∩ S ⇒ (a, b) ∈ R and (a, b) ∈ S
(Because a R b does not imply that b R a) ⇒ (b, a) ∈ R and (b, a) ∈ S (∵ R and S are

R to be reflexive, it must contain (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3) Let (a, b), (b, c) ∈ R ∩ S then
Since, R contains (1, 2) and (2, 3) (a, b), (b, c) ∈ R ∩ S
R to be symmetric it must contain (2, 1), (3, 2) as ⇒ (a, b) ∈ R, (b, c) ∈ R and (a, b), (b, c) ∈ S
well ⇒ (a, c) ∈ R and (a, c) ∈ S (∵ R and S are
⇒ R = {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (2, 1), (3, 2), (2, 3) transitive)
(1,2)} ⇒ (a, c) ∈ R ∩ S
R to be transitive, it must contain (3, 1), (1, 3) ∴ R ∩ S is transitive.
⇒ R becomes an equivalence relation by adding Hence R ∩ S is an equivalence relation on A.
(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (2, 1), (3, 2), (1, 3), (3,1) Let A = {a, b, c}, and let R = {(a, a), (b, b), (c, c),
Hence, the number of ordered pairs to be added = 7 (a, b), (b, a)},
4. For any integer n, we have S = {(a, a), (b, b), (c, c), (b, c), (c, b)} be two
n is a multiple of n ⇒ n R n equivalence relations on A. Then R ∪ S is not an

Now, since (1, 2) ∈ R but (2, 1) ∉ R, 3. Considering, the two sets are disjoint A ∩ B = ø and
Therefore, R is not symmetric. B ∩ A = ø, the relation is symmetric but it is neither
But R is transitive. reflexive nor transitive.
6. For any a ∈ R1, we have a ≥ a 4. Consider any mapping f: A → B.
Therefore, the relation R1 is reflexive but it is not The image of any given element in A can be any

means that a ≥ c, So, (a, c) ∈ R1. This means that there are exactly nm distinct
7. Since R is reflexive relation on A mappings from A to B
Therefore, (a, a) ∈ R for all a ∈ A 5. If A is empty set, then there is just one mapping
⇒ the minimum number of ordered pairs in R is n from A to B, namely the empty mapping in which
Hence, m ≥ n there is no element to which an image is to be

Therefore, (a, a) ∈ R for all a ∈ A. – 1, and so on. Thus, there are
Hence, R has at least n ordered pairs or more. n (n – 1) (n – 2) … (n – (m – 1)) = n!
10. Since (1,1), (2,2), (3,3) ∈ R, therefore R is reflexive (n  m) !
(1,2) ∈ R but (2, 1) ∉ R, therefore R is not injective mappings from A to B.

minimum value f (π/3) = 1/2 – π/3 (1 + π/3) defined on a closed interval [-1, 3], therefore it

Hence f (A) = range of f (x) maximum values.

3. There are three possibilities: (at x = 1) and maximum value 72 (at x = 3)
(i) The statement f (x) = 1 is true Hence the range of f is [-8, 72]
and the statements f (y) ≠ 1, f (z) ≠ 2 are both false 8. We have
We have f (x) = 1, f (y) = 1, f (z) = 2. f1 = {(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 4)}
But this means that f is not an injective map. f2 = {(1, 4), (2, 3), (2, 4), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4), (4, 4),
Therefore, this possibility is ruled out. (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3)}
(ii) The statement f (y) ≠ 1 is true f3 = {(2, 1), (3, 1), (3, 2), (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3)}
and the statements f (x) = 1, f (z) ≠ 2 are both false f4 = {(1, 4), (2, 3), (3, 2), (4, 1)}
We have f (x) = 2 or 3, f (z) = 2 and f (y) = 2 or 3. Considering, f4 is a function from A to itself and
This implies that two of the elements x, y, z must f1, f2 and f3 are not functions from A to itself
have the same image which will mean that f is not 9. The function f (x) = x3 is not a surjection map from

Therefore, this possibility is also ruled out. Z. The function f (x) = x + 2 is a bijection from Z to

Let f (x) = y. Then x3 + 5 = y ⇒ x = (y – 5)1/3   2 x , x0
⇒ f – 1 (y) = (y – 5 )1/3 (∵ f(x) = y ⇔ x = f – 1 (y)) Hence, the domain of f (x) = 1

11. Since f: R → R and g: R → R, given by
f (x) = 2 x – 3 and g (x) = x3 + 5 respectively, are is the set of all negative real numbers i.e. (- ∞, 0)
bijections, therefore f – 1 and g – 1 exist. 4. Let f (x) = g (x) + h (x) + u (x),
We have, f (x) = 2x – 3 where g (x) = 1/x, h (x) = 2sin-1 x and
∴ f (x) = y ⇒ 2 x – 3 = y ⇒ x = (y + 3)/2 u (x) = 1
⇒ f – 1 (y) = (y + 3)/2 x2
Thus, f – 1 is given by f – 1 (x) = (x + 3)/2 for all Domain of g (x) is the set of all real numbers other

Now, (fog) – 1 (x) = (g – 1 o f – 1) (x) = g – 1 (f – 1 (x)) numbers greater than 2. i.e. (2, ∞)

12. Since f (x) is a periodic function with period 2π/5.
Therefore, f is not injective. ∴ f (-x) + f (x)
The function f is not surjective as its range is [-1,1] = log (x + ( x 2 1) ) + log (-x + ( x 2 1) )
which is a proper subset of its co-domain R. = log (- x2 + x2 + 1) = log 1 = 0 for all x
Hence, none of these.
⇒ f (-x) = - f (x) for all x
13. Since f: A → B and g: B → A are bijections,

therefore fog: B → B is a bijection.

So, f –1 (y) = (3y + 2)/(5y – 3) ⇒ h (- x) = - h (x) for all x ⇒ f (x) is an odd
Hence, f –1 (x) = (3x + 2)/(5x – 3) = f (x) function.

Thus, center of the circle is at (7, -8) and radius, r = tanA  tanB
Now we know that tan(A+B) =

Now length of the tangent from the point (0, 0) to So we have A + B = 225o
the given circle, Apply tan on both sides we get tan(A+B) = tan 225 o
L = √[02 + (0)2 – 14 × 0 + 16 × 0 + 64] tan A  tan B
L = √64 = 8 =1
Also, if θ is the angle between the pair of tangents 1  tan A tan B
tan (θ/2) = r/L = 7/8 tan A + tan B = 1 – tan A tan B
Now, tan θ = (2 tan (θ/2)) / (1 – tan2 (θ/2)) tan A + tan B + tan A tan B = 1
tan θ = (2 × 7/8) / (1 – 49/64) Add 1 on both sides
tan θ = 7/4 × 64/15 tan A + tan B + tan A tan B + 1 = 2
tan θ = 112/15 tan A (1 + tan B) + 1(1 + tan B) = 2
(1+ tan A)(1+ tan B) = 2

Let us start with the minimum. Let b = 0, a + c = 44
During the 5-day period, mean temperature of city
a > c + 16. We could have, a = 40, c = 4. So, b can
A = (73 + 75 + 77 + 71 + 69)/5 = 73 °F
be 0
Deviations from the mean (0, 2, 4, 2, 4)
Now, thinking about the maximum value. b = 44, a
B = (80 + 82 + 82 + 80 + 81)/5 = 81 °F
= c = 0 also works
Deviations from the mean (1, 1, 1, 1, 0)
So, minimum value = 0, maximum value = 44.
C = (62 + 68 + 63 + 67 + 65)/5 = 65 °F
