7. (a) 36

Explanation: When two dices are thrown, there are (6 × 6) = 36 outcomes.

The set of all these outcomes is the sample space given by
S = (1, 1) , (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6)
(2, 1) , (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6)
(3, 1) , (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6)
(4, 1) , (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6)
(5, 1) , (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6)
(6, 1) , (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)
∴ n(S) = 36

Let E be the event of getting a total score of 7.

Then E = {(1, 6), (2, 5), (3, 4), (4, 3), (5, 2), (6, 1)}
∴ n(E) = 6
6
Hence, required probability = nEnS = 36

8. (a) (1, 2)
Explanation: Given:
(y − 2)2 = 16 (x − 1)
Let X = x − 1, Y = y − 2
Rewriting the equation in terms of X and Y.
∴ Y2 = 16 X
Vertex = (X = 0, Y = 0) = (x − 1 = 0, y − 2 = 0) = (x = 1, y = 2)
Hence, the vertex is at (1, 2)

Explanation: present value of annuity
17.
(d) 2880
Explanation: In a row of 9 seats, the 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th are the even places.
These 4 places can be occupied by 4 women in 4P4 ways = 24 ways

Remaining 5 places can be occupied by 5 men in 5P5 ways = 120 ways.

∴ total number of seating arrangements = (24 × 120) = 2880
18.
(b) A × B ≠ B × A
Explanation: let A = {a, b, c}; B = {p}
A × B = {a, b, c} × {p}
= {(a, p),(b, p),(c, p)}
B × A = {p} × {a, b, c}
= {(p, a),(p, b),(p, c)}
By the definition of ordered pairs, (a, p) ≠ (p, a)
So A × B ≠ B × A
19.
(d) A is false but R is true.
Explanation: We know that Spearman's rank correlation coefficient

Page 8 of 16

r = 1 −

n(n −1)

∴ R is true.
Given Σd = 40 and r = −

⇒ (n + 1) n (n -1) = 210
n(n−1)(n+1)

⇒ (n + 1). n (n -1) = 7.6.5

⇒ n = 6 (by inspection)
∴ A is false.
20. (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: We know that in a G.P., terms taken at regular intervals also form a G.P.
So, an - k, an, an + k are in G.P.

⇒ an2 = an - k. an + k ⇒ an = √−
a

∴ R is true.

⇒ b= −−

∴ A is true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Section B
21. Given, average monthly savings for the first 3 months = ₹ 12 lakh
⇒ total savings for the first 3 months = ₹(3 × 12) lakh = ₹ 36 lakh.
Given, average monthly savings for the next 4 months = ₹ 12.5 lakh
⇒ total savings for the next 4 months = ₹(4 × 12.5) lakh = ₹ 50 lakh.

Also, given average monthly savings for the next 5 months = ₹ 31.2 lakh
⇒ total savings for the next 5 months = ₹(5 × 31.2)lakh = ₹ 56 lakh

∴ Total annual savings = ₹ 36 lakh + ₹ 50 lakh + ₹ 156 lakh = ₹ 242 lakh

Given total yearly expenditure = ₹ 78 lakh
∴ Total yearly earnings = ₹ 242 lakh + ₹ 78 lakh = ₹320 lakh

∴ Average monthly earnings = ₹ lakh = ₹ 26.67 lakh.

22. i. It is evident from the Venn diagram that the policemen x is a thief also. So, the given statement is not true. Hence, its truth
value is 'F'.
ii. From the Venn-diagram, we find that P ∩ T ≠ Φ . So, there are some thieves who are also policemen. Hence, the above
statement is not true. So, its truth value is 'F'.
iii. It is evident from the Venn-diagram that there are some human beings who are neither policemen nor thieves. So, the above
statement is not true and its truth value is 'F'.
iv. Clearly, policemen x is a thief also. Therefore, the given statement is true and its truth value is 'T'.
OR
A and B are brothers

C and D are sisters

A's son is D's brother

∴B is C's uncle
23. We know that:
In 1600 years, we have 0 odd days.
In 300 years, we have 1 odd day.
So, in 1900 years there 0 + 1 = 1 odd day.
Now from 1901 to 1974, there are 18 leap years and 56 non-leap years.

Page 9 of 16
 So, the number of odd days is 18 × 2 + 56 × 1 = 92 odd days or 13 × 7 + 1
= 1 odd day (up to 31st Dec. 1974).
Since 1975 is a non-leap year, so from 1st Jan. 1975 to 13th Aug. 1975, we have
31 (Jan.) + 28 (Feb.) + 31 (Mar.) + 30 (Apr.) + 31 (May) + 30 (Jun.) + 31 (Jul.) + 13 days
= 225 days = 32 × 7 + 1 = 1 odd day
So, the total number of odd days = 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 odd days.
∴ Day on 13th Aug. 1975 was Wednesday

25. Step I: Divide the number by 2 to get the quotient. Keep the whole part for the next step and set the remainder aside.
Step II: Divide the whole part of the quotient from step I by 2. Again keep the whole part for the next step and set the remainder
aside.
Step III: Repeat step 2 until the whole part is 0.
The given decimal number is 13

Put the remainder together in reverse order.

So the required binary number is 1101.

⇒ d = 2

From (i)
2a + 5d = 14
⇒ a = 2

Now, a13 = 2 + 12 × 2 = 26
OR
5, x, y, z, 405 are in GP.
Let the ratio be r, also a5 = 405

∴ 5(r)4 = 405
⇒ (r)4 = 81 = (3)4 ⇒ r = 3
⇒ x = 5 × 3 = 15,

y = 15 × 3 = 45,

−−−−−
For Df, f(x) must be a real number ⇒ √x − 4 must be a real number

x2 - 4 ≥ 0 ⇒ (x + 2) (x - 2) ≥ 0
either x ≤ -2 or x ≥ 2
⇒ Df = (−∞ , -2] ∪ [2, ∞ )

−−−−−
For Rf, let y = √x 2
− 4 ...(i)
As square root of a real number is always non-negative, y ≥ 0
On squaring (i), we get y2 = x2 - 4
⇒ x2 = y2 + 4 but x2 ≥ 0 for all x ∈ Df

⇒ y2 + 4 ≥ 0 ⇒ y2 ≥ -4, which is true for all y ∈ R. Also y ≥ 0

⇒ Rf = [0, ∞ )

30. Here, the consumption of gas is given to be 78SCM for 60 days.

According to the given tariff plan:
Gas consumption charges = ₹ [(45× 29.50) + (33× 42.61)]
= ₹( 1327.50 + 1406.13)
= ₹ 2733.63
The minimum charge is 10% of the gas consumption charge.
∴ Minimum charge = 10% of ₹ 2733.63

=₹ 273.36
∴ Bimonthly PNG bill of the family = Gas consumption charges + Minimum charges

= ₹ 2733.63 + ₹ 273.36
= ₹ 3006.99
31. Let C and T denotes the students who play cricket and tennis, respectively.
Given, n(C) = 110, n(T) = 160, n(C ∩ T) = 70, n(U) = 450.
Using identity,
n(C ∪ T) = n(C) + n(T) - n(C ∩ T)
= 110 + 160 - 70
= 200
∴ No. of students play neither cricket nor tennis

= n(U) - n(C ∩ T)
= 450 - 200
= 250

32. i. There are 7 letters in the word 'HARYANA' of which 3 are A's and remaining all are each of its own kind.
So, total number of words = = = 840
7!

3!1!1!1!1!
7!

3!

ii. After fixing H in first place and N in last place, we have 5 letters out of which three are alike i.e. A's and remaining all are
each of its own kind.
So, total number of words = 5!

3!
= 20
iii. Considering H and N together we have 7 - 2 + 1 = 6 letters out of which three are alike i.e A's and others are each of its own
kind. These six letters can be arranged in ways. But H and N can be arranged amongst themselves in 2! ways.
6!

3!

Hence, the requisite number of words = 6!

3!

OR
nP = 336, nCr = 56
r

We know nPr = r! nCr ⇒ 336 = 56r!

⇒ r! = 6 = 3! ⇒ r = 3
Consider nCr = 56 ⇒ nC3 = 56
n(n−1)(n−2)
⇒
3!
= 56
⇒ n(n - 1)(n - 2) = 56 × 6 = 8 × 7 × 6
⇒ n(n - 1)(n - 2) = 8(8 - 1)(8 - 2) ⇒ n = 8

Hence n = 8, r = 3
n-1C = 7C = 7×6

Given the map is showing Saloni’s home and school. Her school is at the position A, home is at the position B and a shopping
mall is at the position C. Assuming O is the origin, OA is along X-axis and OB is along Y-axis.

(i) A is on x-axis at a distance 3 km from origin. B is on y-axis at a distance of 2km from origin.
Hence coordinates of A = (3,0) and B= (0,2)
A = (3, 0) and B = (0, 2)

(ii) 2x + 3y = 6
Since slope = 2

−3
A = (3, 0)
Equation of line in point slope form is
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
⇒ y-0= 2

−3
(x − 3)

⇒ -3y - 0 = 2x - 6
⇒ 2x + 3y = 6
(iii)x - y + 2 = 0
Since slope BC = 1 and B = (0, 2)
Equation of line in point slope form is
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
⇒ y - 2 = 1(x - 0)
⇒ y-2=x-0
⇒ x-y+2=0
OR
−2
slop AB = 3
since required line is ⊥ AB

slope of required line = m = 2

Hence equation of line passing through (-2, 4) and having slope m = 3

⇒ y - y1 = m(x - x1)
⇒ y-4= 3

(x + 2)
⇒2y - 8 = 3x + 6
