Q4. The coefficient of x8 y10 in the expansion of (x + y)18 is: 1 Marks
By

A. 18 C8 ​ B. 18 p10 ​
C. 218 D. None of these.
Ans: A 18 C8 ​
Solution:
Suppose (r + 1)th term in the given expansion is independent of x.
Then, we have
Tr+1 ​ = 18 Cr ​(x)18−r yr
For this term to be independent of x, we must have
r = 10
Hence, the required coefficient is 18 C10 ​or 18 C8 ​
Q5. If A and B are the sums of odd and even terms respectively in the expansion of (x + a)n , then (x + a)2n − 1 Marks
(x − a)2n is equal to:

Q15. Given A = {a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h} and B = {a, e, i, o, u} then B - A is equal to: 1 Marks

Pra

A. {i, o, u} B. {a, b, c} C. {c, d, e} D. {a, i, z}

Ans: A {i, o, u}
Solution:
By

The sets A = {a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h} and B = {a, e, i, o, u}, in order to find the difference between the two sets
as B-A, we begin by writing all the elements of B and then take away every element of A which is also the
element of B. Since B share the elements a, e with A, so B - A = {i, o, u}.
Q16. The smallest set A such that A ∪ {1, 2} = {1, 2, 3, 5, 9} is: 1 Marks
A. {2, 3, 5} B. {3, 5, 9} C. {1, 2, 5, 9} D. {1, 2}
Ans: B {3, 5, 9}
Solution:
A ? {1, 2} = {1, 2, 3, 5, 9}
Thus,
A = {1, 2, 3, 5, 9} - {1, 2}
Q17. Which of the following is set? 1 Marks
A. The collection of months having names starting with J. B. The collection of smart boys in your class.
C. The collection of most talented persons. D. The collection of sand grains in a Earth.
Ans: A The collection of months having names starting with J.
Solution:
As the collection of months having names starting with J is well defined. So, it's a set. Rest are not well defined
, hence are not set.

Q18. Let A and B be two sets such that n(A) = 16, n(B) = 12, and n(A ∩ B) = [Link] n(A∪B) equals: 1 Marks
A. 28 B. 20 C. 36 D. 12
Ans: B 20
Solution:
n(A ? B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A n B) = 16 + 12 - 8 = 20
Q19. Let A and B have 3 and 6 elements respectively. What can be the minimum number of elements in A ∪ 1 Marks
B?
A. 3 B. 6 C. 9 D. 18
Ans: B 6
Solution:
n(A ? B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A n B)
Now A has 3 elements and B has 6 elements. If they are disjoint, then n(A n B) = 0.
∴ n(A ? B) = 6 + 3 = 9
If A ? B then A ? B = B

877
∴ (A ? B) = n(B) = 6
B cannot be a subset of A and hence the other possibility of A ? B = A is ruled out.

983
C. c2 − 3c + 7 = 0 D. c2 + 3c − 7 = 0
Ans: A c2 − 3c − 7 = 0
Solution:
3
It is given that a = 4, b = 3 and ∠A = 60∘
#99

Using cosine rule, we have

Q27. If tan A + cot A = 4, then tan4 A + cot4 A is equal to:
Pra

1 Marks
A. 110 B. 191 C. 80 D. 194
Ans: D 194
By

Solution:
We have:
tan A + cot A = 4
squaring both the sides:
(tan A + cot A)2 = 42
⇒ tan2 A + cot2 A + 2(tan A)(cot A) = 16
⇒ tan2 A + cot2 A + 2 = 16
⇒ tan2 A + cot A = 14
squaring both the sides again:
(tan2 A + cot2 A)2 = 142
tan4 A + cot4 A + 2(tan2 A)(cot2 A) = 196
⇒ tan4 A + cot4 A + 2 = 196
⇒ tan4 A + cot4 A = 194

Q41. If x2 + ax + b = 0 and x2 + bx + a = 0 have exactly 1 common root then what is the value of ( a + b 1 Marks
)
A. 1 B. 0 C. -1 D. 3
Ans: C -1
Solution:
Subtracting the equation x2 + ax + b = 0 to x2 + bx + a = 0 by solving the equation simultaneously, we get,
(a – b) x + (b – a) = 0
So, (a – b) x = (a – b)
Therefore, x = 1
Now, putting the value of x = 3 in any one of the equation, we get,
1+a+b=0
Therefore, a + b = -1.

So, sum = (2 + 5) + (3 + 2)i = 7+ 5i.

A. 60° B. 120° C. 210° D. 240°
Ans: A 60°
Q47. (x + 3) + i (y - 2) = 5 + i2, find the values of x and y. 1 Marks
A. x = 8 and y = 4 B. x = 2 and y = 4
C. x = 2 and y = 0 D. x = 8 and y = 0
Ans: B x = 2 and y = 4
Solution:
If two complex numbers are equal, then corresponding parts are equal i.e. real parts of both are equal and
imaginary parts of both are equal.
x + 3 = 5 and y - 2 = 2
x = 5 - 3 and y = 2 + 2
x = 2 and y = 4.

Q48. The complex number z which satisfies the condition ∣​ ∣ = 1 lies on: 1 Marks
∣i − z∣
A. Circle x2 + y2 = 1 B. The x-axis
C. The y-axis D. The line x + y = 1
Ans: B The x-axis

Solution:
∣​i+z ​∣​
∣ i−z ∣ = 1
∣ ∣ 2
∣ ​∣​
⇒ ∣​i+z ∣ = 12
∣ i−z ∣
⇒ ( i+zi−z )( i−z ) = 1
​ i+z ​ ​

⇒ ( i+zi−z )( −i−z ) = 1
​ −i+z ​
2 −zi+zi+zz
⇒ ( −i −i2 +zi−zi+zz ) = 1
​
⇒ −i2 − zi + zi + zz = −i2 + zi − zi + zz
⇒ −zi + zi = zi − zi
⇒ zi + zi = zi − zi
⇒ 2zi = 2zi
⇒z=z
⇒ z is purely real.

Q50. If ∣x–1∣ > 5 then: 1 Marks
A. x ∈ (−4, 6) 3 B. x ∈ [ − 4, 6]
C. x ∈ (−∞, −4) ∪ (6, ∞) D. x ∈ [ − ∞, −4) ∪ [6, ∞)
#99

Ans: C x ∈ (−∞, −4) ∪ (6, ∞)

Solution:
∣x–1∣ > 5
Sir

x–1 < −5 and x–1 > −5

x < −4 and x > 6
∴ x ∈ (−∞, −4) ∪ (6, ∞)
