Checking continuity at x =3,

Here, LHL at x = 3

RHL at x = 3

f(x) is neither continuous nor differentiable at x = 3.

Explanation: {
3A - C =

(xi)Here we have f (x) = x2 + 7 and g (x) = 3x + 5

f(t) = t2 + 7 and f(-2) = (-2)2 + 7 = 4 + 7 = 11

f(t) - f(-2) = t2 + 7 - 11 = t2 - 4

(xiv)
Clearly,
p1 + p2 - 2p1p2
= P(E1) + P(E2) - 2P(E1) P(E2)
 = P(E1) + P(E2) - 2P (E1 E2)
= P (E1 E2)- 2P(E1 E2)
So, either E1 or E2 occurs but not both.
(xv)Let Ai be the event that ball drawn in the ith draw is white .
Since the balls are drawn one by one with replacement. Therefore, A1, A2, A3, A4 are independent events such that
P(Ai) = , i = 1, 2, 3, 4
Therefore, required probability is given by,
P

Given that
Slope of tangent at (x1, y1) = x co-ordinate of the point

x1(3x1 - 1) = 0

f'(x)=15x4 + 120x2 + 240
= 15(x4 + 8x2 + 16)

Now,

Hence, f(x) is an increasing function for all x R

5. Let I = ... (i)
Also let + 1 = t then, we have

Put + 1 = t and in equation (i), we get

= 2 log |t| + c
= 2 log | + 1| + c
I = 2 log | + 1| + c
OR
Let I = , then we have
I=
Now,
Let =

1 = (Ax + B)(x + 1) + C (x2 + 1)

Equating similar terms, we get
A + C = 0, A + B = 0, B + C = 1
Solving, we get, A = - , B = , C =
Thus,
I=-
I= .
6. i. Non-reflexivity

8. Let,
Using partial fractions,
.... (1)

Where t = x2
A(t + 3) + B(t - 4) = t
Now put t + 3 = 0
t = -3
A(0) + B(-7) = -3

Now put t - 4 = 0
t=4
A(4 + 3) + B(0) = 4

From equation(1)

9. We seek to show that

= 0 where y = (sin-1 x)2
Using the result:
=

In conjunction with the chain rule, then differentiating y = (sin-1 x)2 w.r.t. x we have:
 And differentiating a second time, in conjunction with the quotient rule, we have:

OR
y= xn {a cos (log x) + b sin (log x)}
y= axn cos (log x) + bxn sin (log x)
= an xn-1 cos (log x) - axn-1 sin (log x) + bnxn-1 sin (log x) + bxn-1 cos (log x)
= xn-1 cos (log x) (na + b) + xn-1 sin (log x) (bn - a)
(xn-1 cos (log x) (na + b) + xn-1 sin (log x) (bn - a))
= (na + b) [(n - 1) xn-2 cos (log x) - xn-2 sin (log x)] + (bn - a) (n - 1) xn-2 sin (log x) + xn-2 cos (log x)]

= (na + b) xn-2 [(n - 1) cos (log x) - sin (log x)] + (bn - a) xn-2 [(n - 1) sin (log x) + cos (log x)]

= (na + b) xn [(n - 1) cos (log x) - sin (log x)] + (bn - a) xn [(n - 1) sin (log x) + cos (log x)]
+ (1 - 2n) xn-1 cos (log x) (na + b) + (1 - 2n) xn-1 sin (log x) (bn - a)
+ a(1 + n2) xn cos (log x) + b (1 + n2) xn sin (log x)
=0

(iii)Let ₹ x be invested in bond X and then ₹ (35000 - x) will be invested in bond Y.
Now, total amount of interest is given by
= [0.1x + (35000 - x)0.08]

But, it is given that total amount of interest = ₹ 3200

0.1x + 2800 - 0.08x = 3200
0.02x = 400 x = 20000
Thus, ₹ 20000 invested in bond X and ₹ 35000 - ₹ 20000 = ₹ 15000 invested in bond Y.

-8 - k = 0
k = -8
Hence the value of k = -8
OR
Given equations are;
3l + m + 5n = 0 and
6mn - 2nl + 5lm = 0
Eliminating m from the above two equations, we get
2n2 + 3ln + l2 = 0
(n + l)(2n + l) = 0
either n = -l or l = -2n
Now if l = -n, then m = -2n
and if l = -2n, then m = n.
Thus the direction ratios of two lines are proportional to -n, -2n, n and -2n, n, n,
i.e. 1, 2, -1 and -2, 1, 1.
So, vectors parallel to these lines are
and , respectively.
If is the angle between the lines, then

Hence
18. p>To find area of region bounded by x-axis the ordinates x = -2 and x = 3 and y -1 = x ...(i)
Equation (i) is a line that meets at axes at (0, 1) and (-1, 0)
A rough sketch of the given information is as under:-

Bounded region provides the required area.

Now Required area = Area of Region ABCA + Area of Region ADEA

A=

(x + 1)dx + |[-2-1 (x + 1)dx|

19. In subparts (i) and (ii) choose the correct options and in subparts (iii) to (v), answer the questions as instructed.
(i) (c) MC = AC
Explanation: {
MC = AC
(ii) (c) Linear constraints
Explanation: {
In a LPP, the linear inequalities or restrictions on the variables are called Linear constraints.
(iii)Let the line of regression of y on x be
2x + 3y - 10 = 0
3y = -2x + 10
y=- x-
byx = -
Let the line of regression of x on y be
4x + y - 5 = 0
4x = -y + 5
x=- y+
bxy = -
Here, byx bxy =
Which is true. Hence, our assumption is correct and line of regression of y on x is 2x + 3y - 10 = 0
(iv)P = Revenue - Cost = ₹ =₹
P=
differentiating the above equation, we get,
= + 15
 equate =0
+ 15 = 0
x = 10
again differentiating the above equation, we get,
= < 0 maxima
Therefore profit is maximum when daily output is 10 items.
(v) Let R(x) be the revenue received for selling x television sets. Then,
R(x) = px
R (x) = 8400x
We have, C(x) = 300x2 + 4200x + 13500. At the break even points, we have
R(x) = C(x)
8400x = 300x2 + 4200x + 13500
300x2 - 4200x + 13500 = 0
x2 - 14x + 45 = 0
x = 5, 9
Hence, the sell of either 5 or 9 television sets will give break-even points.
20. Let ₹ x be the increase in the monthly subscription. Then, New rate = 100 + x.
Since, for each increase of ₹ 1, 5 subscribers will discontinue the service.
Total number of subscribers = 1000 - 5x
Let R be the total revenue of the company. Then,
R = Rate Number of subscribers
R = (100 + x)(1000 - 5x) = 100000 + 500x - 5x2 ... (i)
= 500 - 10x and, = -10
For R to be maximum, we must have
=0 500 - 10x = 0
x = 50
Clearly, = -10 < 0 for all x. So, R is maximum when x = 50.
Putting x = 50 in (i) we get: R = 10000 + 500 50 - 5 (50)2 = 112500
Thus, R is maximum when monthly subscription is increased by ₹ 50 and the maximum revenue is ₹ 112500.
OR
We have, p = , Let R be the revenue function. Then,
R = px R=

MR =

Clearly, ...[ b < 0 and a > 0 ab < 0 ]

MR is increasing for all b < 0, a > 0

Regression line y on x is given by
(y - ) = byx (x - )
y - 5 = -1(x - 3)
y - 5 = -x + 3
x + y = 8 ...(i)
When x = 6,
From (i), we get

22. Here, given equations
,
Now,

Now the line meets the axes at A(3,0) and B(0,2). Join these points and draw a thick line. Clearly, the portion not containing (0, 0)
represents the solution set of the inequation 2x + 3y > 6
Again,
This line meets the axes at C(4, 0) and D(0, 1).
Join these points and draw a thick line. Clearly, the portion containing (0, 0) represents the solution set of the inequation x + 4y <
4
Clearly, x > 0 is represented by the y-axis and the portion on its right-hand side
Also, y > 0 is represented by the x-axis and the portion above the x-axis.
Therefore, the shaded region represents the solution set of the given inequations.
OR
According to the question,
Maximize
Subject to the constraints

such that
We draw line and and shaded the feasible region with respect to constraints sign.
We observe that the feasible region is unbounded and corner points are only. Evaluating Z at all corner points,
Corner Points Z = x + 2y

We are to determine the maximum value. As the feasible region is unbounded we can not say whether the largest value Z = 6 is
maximum or not.
We draw the half plane and notice that it has common points with feasible region. There does not exist any maximum
value. For testing we let , this point lie in the feasible region and at the value of i.e., greater than ‘6’.
