19.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
Assertion: We know that, a set which is empty or consists of a definite number of elements, is called finite, otherwise the set is
called infinite. Since, set A contains finite number of elements. So, it is a finite set.
Reason: We do not know the number of elements in B, but it is some natural number. So, B is also finite.

20. (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
Assertion: Given GP 4, 16, 64, ...
∴ a = 4, r = =4>1 16

Section B
21. Here we have, f(x) = 1

2−sin 3x

We need to find where the function is defined.

The maximum value of an angle is 2π
2π
So, the maximum value of x = 3

Whereas, the minimum value of x is 0

Therefore, the domain of the function, Df{x} = (0, 2π

3
)
Now, the minimum value of sin θ = 0 and the maximum value of sin θ = 1. So, the minimum value of the denominator is 1, and

The range of the function, Rf(x) = ( , 1) 1

OR
Here we have, n(A) = 3, n(B) = 4 and n(A ∩ B) = 2
i. To find: n(A × B)
As we know that n(A × B) = n(A) × n(B)
⇒ n(A × B) = 3 × 4 = 12

ii. To find: n(B × A)

As we know that n(B × A) = n(B) × n(A)
⇒ n(B × A) = 4 × 3 = 12

iii. To find: n((A × B) ∩ (B × A))

As we know that n((A × B) ∩ (B × A))= n(A × B) + n(B × A) −n((A × B) ∪ (B × A))
n((A × B) ∩ (B × A))= n(A × B) + n(B × A) −n(A × B) + n(B × A)

n((A × B) ∩ (B × A)) = 0

23. When two coins are tossed once, then the sample space of the event is given by
S = {HH, HT, TH, TT} and, therefore,n(S) = 4.
Let E3 = event of getting no head. Then,
E3 = {TT} and, therefore, n(E3) = 1.
n( E3 )
∴ P(getting no head) = P(E3) = n(S)

We have to find the probability that the integer is chosen is a multiple of 2 or 3 or 10
Out of 50 integers an integer can be chosen in 50C1 ways.

Total number of elementary events = 50C1 = 50

Consider the following events:
A = Getting a multiple of 2, B = Getting a multiple of 3 and, C = Getting a multiple of 10
Clearly, A = {2, 4,..., 50}, B = {3, 6,..., 48}, C = {10, 20,..., 50}
A n B = {6,12,..., 48}, B n C = {30}, A n C = {10, 20,..., 50} and, A n B n C = {30}

⇒ (A ∩ B) ∩ (A – B) ⊂ A….(1)
Suppose x ∈ (A ∩ B) ∩ (A - B)
⇒ x ∈ (A ∩ B) and x ∈ (A - B)

⇒ x ∈ A and x ∈ B and x ∈ A and x ∉ B

⇒ x ∈ A and x ∈ A [∵ x ∈ B and x ∉ B are not possible simultaneously]

⇒ x ∈ A,now we have
∴ (A ∩ B) ∩ (A - B) ⊂ A…(2)

As n = 12 ,therefore there will be total (12 + 1) = 13 terms in the expansion
Therefore,

29. We need to find derivative of f(x) = tan (2x + 1) by first principle.

Derivative of a function f(x) is given by –
f (x+h)−f (x)
f’(x) = lim h
[where h is a very small positive number]
h→0

∴ Derivative of f(x) = tan (2x + 1) is given as –

tan(2(x+h)+1)−tan(2x+1)

f (x) = lim

⇒ f (x) = lim
h{cos(2x+1) cos(2x+2h+1)}
h→0

Using: sin A cos B – cos A sin B = sin (A – B)

sin(2x+2h+1−2x−1)
⇒ f (x) = lim
h{cos(2x+1) cos(2x+2h+1)}
h→0

Using algebra of limits we have –

sin(2h) 1

∴ f (x) = lim × lim

sin(2h)

h→0 h→0

⇒ f’(x) = 2× 2

cos (2x+1)

∴ f’(x) = 2 sec2 (2x + 1)

Therefore,
Derivative of f(x) = tan(2x + 1) is 2 sec2 (2x + 1)

Let us draw a Venn diagram

 According to the Venn diagram,
n(E ∩ S) = 4 ⇒ e = 4
n(E ∩ M) = 6 ⇒ b + e = 6 ⇒ b + 4 = 6 ⇒ b = 2
n(M ∩ S) = 7 ⇒ e + f = 7 ⇒ 4 + f = 7 ⇒ f = 3
n(E ∩ S) = 4 ⇒ d + e = 4 ⇒ d + 4 = 4 ⇒ d = 0
n(E) = 15 ⇒ a + b + d + e = 15 ⇒ a + 2 + 0 + 4 = 15 ⇒ a = 9
n(M) = 12 ⇒ b + c + e + f = 12 ⇒ 2 + c + 4 + 3 = 12 ⇒ c = 3
n(S) = 8 ⇒ d + e + f + g = 8 ⇒ 0 + 4 + 3 + g = 8 ⇒ g = 1
Hence we get,
i. Number of students who passed in English and Mathematics but not in Science, b = 2.

This is the equation of the required hyperbola.

⇒ 16x < 12x +36

⇒ 16x - 12x < 12x + 36 - 12x [ subtracting 12x from bot sides]

⇒ 4x < 36 ⇒ x < 9 [dividing both sides by 4]

Thus, any value of x less than 9 satisfies the inequality. So, the solution of inequality (i) is given by x ∈ (−∞, 9)

From inequality (ii) we get,

⇒ 7x - 6x > 6x + 4 - 6x [subtracting 6x from both sides]

∴ x > 4

Thus, any value of x greater than 4 satisfies the inequality.

So, the solution set is x ∈ (4, ∞)

The solution set of inequalities (i) and (ii) are represented graphically on number line as given below:

Clearly, the common value of x lie between 4 and 9.

Hence, the solution of the given system is, 4 < x < 9 i.e., x ∈ (4, 9)

 Let E4 be the event that she visits A either first or second. Then,
E4 = {ABCD, ABDC, ACBD, ACDB, ADBC, ADCB, BACD, BADC, CABD, CADB, DABC, DACB}
⇒ n(E4) = 12
Hence, P(she visits A either first or second)
n( E4 )
12 1
= P (E4 ) = = =
