Explanation: ∴ For A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9} the satisfying complete relation is:
R = {(1, 3), (2, 6), (3, 9)}
3.

LHL ≠ RHL, So the limit does not exist.

5.
(c) less than 60o
| m1 − m2 |
Explanation: The angle between two straight lines is given by 1+m1 m2

Here m1 = 2 and m2 = -2
Sustituting the values we get,
2−(−2)
tan θ = 1+2.(−2)

= 4

5
< 600
6.
(d) four points
Explanation: From A, x2 + y2 = 25 and from B, x2 + 9y2 = 144
∴ From B, (x2 + y2) + 8y2 = 144
⇒ 25 + 8y2 = 144
⇒ 8y2 = 119

Page 6 of 18
 −−
−
⇒ y = ±√ 119

∴ x2 + y2 = 25 ⇒ x2 = 25 - y2 = 25 - 119

8
−−
81
⇒ x = ±√ 8

Since we solved equations simultaneously, therefore A ∩ B has four points A has 2 elements & B has 2 elements.
7. (a) x = 4n

] = 1 ⇒ [
1+1
] =1
1−i

⇒ Ix = 1
⇒ x = 4n, n ∈ N

8. (a) {-2, -1, 0, 1, 2}

Explanation: Domain of R is a set constituting all values of x.
Here, possible values for x by equation x2 + y2 ≤ 4 will be 0, 1, -1, 2, -2.
So, Domain of R is : {-2, -1, 0, 1, 2}.

√2

1
Explanation: cos 405° = cos(360° + 45°) = cos 45° =
√2

11.
(d) 6, 3
Explanation: Since, let A and B be such sets, i.e., n (A) = m, and n(B) = n
Thus, n (P(A)) = 2m , n (P(B)) = 2n
Therefore, n (P(A)) – n (P(B)) = 56, i.e., 2m – 2n = 56
⇒ 2n (2m–n – 1) = 23 7
⇒ n = 3, 2m–n – 1 = 7
⇒ m = 6

12.
(d) 3
Explanation: Let r be the common ratio of the G.P.
Given S10 = 244 S5
S10

r −1
⇒
5

r −1

⇒ r10 - 1 - 244r5 + 244 = 0

⇒ (r5)2 - 244r5 + 243 = 0
⇒ (r5)2 - 243r5 - 1r5 + 243 = 0
⇒ r5(r5 - 1) - 243(r5 - 1) = 0
⇒ r5 = 243 or r5 = 1
Since r - 1 ≠ 0, r cannot be 1
−−−
⇒ r = √243 = 3

Explanation: Here,we know that C0 + C1 + C2 + ... + Cn = 2n

14.
(b) {x : x > 1, x ∈ R}
Explanation: 6x - 1 > 5
⇒ 6x - 1 + 1 > 5 + 1

⇒ 6x > 6

⇒ x>1
Hence the solution set is {x : x > 1, x ∈ R}
15.
(c) A ∩ Bc
Explanation: A ∩ Bc
A and B are two sets.
A ∩ B is the common region in both the sets.
(A ∩ Bc) is all the region in the universal set except A ∩ B

(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: Assertion:

Each term will cancel each other

∴ (1 + (-1))n = 0
Reason is also the but not the correct explanation of Assertion.
20. (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: Assertion: Let x̄ be the mean of x1, x2 ..., xn. Then, variance is given by
n
2 1 2
σ = ∑ (xi − x̄)
1 n
i=1

Page 8 of 18
 If a is added to each observation, the new observations will be
yi = xi + a
Let the mean of the new observations be ȳ .
Then,
n n

ȳ = ∑ yi = ∑ (xi + a)
n n

n n

= [ ∑ xi + ∑ a]
n
i=1 i=1

n

= ∑ xi + = x̄ + a
n n

i.e. ȳ = x̄ + a ...(ii)

Thus, the variance of the new observations is σ 2

[using Eqs. (i) and (ii)]
i=1 i=1
n
1 2 2
= ∑ (xi − x̄) = σ
n 1
i=1

Thus, the variance of the new observations is same as that of the original observations.
Reason: We may note that adding (or subtracting) a positive number to (or from) each observation of a group does not affect
the variance.
Section B
21. Given, A = {a, b}, B = {c, d}
and C = {d, c}.
Now, B∪C = {c,d}
∴ A × (B ∪ C) = {a, b} × {c, d}

= {(a, c), (a, d), (b, c) (b, d)}

OR

⎪
−1, if x < 0

Clearly, we have
x < 0 ⇒ f(x) = - l
x = 0 ⇒ f(x) = 0
x > 0 ⇒ f(x) = 1

(x - x1) (x - x2) + (y - y1)⋅ (y - y2) = 0 ...(i)

Page 9 of 18
 Given, (x1, y1) = (-2, 3) and (x2, y2) = (0, -1)
(x - 2)(x - 0) + (y - 3)(y + 1) = 0
⇒ x2 + 2x + y2 - 2y - 3 = 0
⇒ x2 + y2 + 2x - 2y - 3 = 0, is the required equation of the circle.
OR
We see that there will be four such circles which pass through the origin and cut off equal chords of length a from the straight lines

24. Here, we have,

A contains two elements, namely 1 and {2, 3}
{2, 3} = B, then A = {1, B}
∴ P(A) = {ϕ , {1}, {B}, {1, B}}

⇒ P(A) = {ϕ , ,{1}, {{2, 3}}, {1, {2, 3}}}.

25. Let the coordinates of Q be (a, b), which lies on the parabola.
y2 = x
⇒ b2 = a .....(i)
Let P(h, k) be the mid-point of OQ.
Now,we have
0+a 0+b
h= 2
and k = 2

⇒ a = 2h and b = 2k
Substituting a = 2h and b = 2k in equation (i), we obtain
(2k)2 = 2h
⇒ 2k2 = h
Therefore, the required locus of the mid-point of OQ is 2y2 = x.

38. i. Two of them being leg spinners, one and only one leg spinner must be included
Let's first find out possible ways to select players which are not leg spinner
There are two leg spinners out of 15 and one players must be leg spinner.
So, we have to select 10 players out of 13
Total possible ways to select 11 players out of 15 out of which one must be leg spinner out of 2 are 13C10 × 2C1
n n!
Cr =
(n−r)!r!

13 13!
⇒ C10 =
(13−10)!10!

⇒ 2 × 858 = 1716
Total possible ways to select 11 players out of 15 out of which one must be leg spinner out of 2 = 1716

number of ways of selecting 5 batsmen out of 6 = 6C5 = 6

number of ways of selecting 2 wicket keepers out of 3 = 3C2 = 3C1 = 3

⇒ C4 × C5 × C2

⇒ 15 × 6 × 3 = 270
Total ways to select 4 bowlers, 2 wicketkeepers and 5 batsmen out of 6 bowlers, 3 wicketkeepers, and 6 batsmen in all are
270.
iii. Here, we have to select 11 players out of 15 and there are no restrictions and here the order of the players doesn't matter. So,
we will here apply combination
n n!
Cr =
(n−r)!r!

⇒ C11 =
(15−11)!11!

⇒

In 1365 many ways can be the final eleven be selected from 15 cricket players if there is no restriction
OR
If one player must always be included, then we have to select 10 players from 14

14C = 1001
⇒ 10
In 1001 ways can be the final eleven be selected from 15 cricket players if one particular player must be included.
