2.
(b) R – {-2, 3}
Explanation:
We have, f(x)

f(x) is not defined, if x2 - x - 6 = 0

(x - 3)(x + 2) = 0
x = -2, 3
Domain of f = R - {-2, 3}

3.
(d) 178
Explanation:
Given the lives (in hours) of 5 bulbs is 1357, 1090, 1666, 1494, 1623
Here mean, = 1446
This can be written in table form as,
Lives (in hours)(xi) di = |xi - |

1357 = |1357 - 1446| = 89

1090 = |1090 - 1446| = 356

1666 = |1666 - 1446| = 220

1494 = |1494 - 1446| = 177

1623 = |1623 - 1446| = 177

Tootal = 890
Hence Mean Deviation becomes,
M.D = = 178
Therefore, the mean deviation about the mean of the lives of 5 bulbs is 178

Explanation:
Any plane parallel to yz-plane is perpendicular to x-axis.

7.

Explanation:

Let z

since, z lies in the first quadrant.

Therefore, arg (z)

8.
(d) 125
Explanation:
The number divisible by 4 must have last two-digit divided by four
So number formed can be any of the following four types
**12
**24
**32
**44
**52
Since repetition is allowed in **12, the first place can be filled in 5 ways, the second place also can be filled in 5 ways
Hence, number of numbers ending with 12 = 5 5 = 25
Similarly, numbers ending with 24, 32, 44, 52 each will be = 5 5 = 25
Hence the number of all 4 digited numbers that can be formed by using the digits 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 which are divisible by 4 = 25
5 = 125 [ since there are 5 such cases]

9. (a) nan-1

10. (a)
Explanation:

11.
(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
y=

x2 + y2 = 25 x2 = 25 - y2 = 25 - =
x=
Since we solved equations simultaneously, therefore A B has four points A has 2 elements & B has 2 elements.

12.
(b) 9
Explanation:
rth term in the given expansion is 12Cr - 1 (2x2)12 - r + 1

= (-1)r - 1 12Cr - 1 213 - r x26 - 2r - r + 1

For this term to be independent of x, we must have:
27 - 3r = 0
r=9
Therefore, the required 9th term in the expansion is independent of x.

13. (a)
Explanation:
We have the general term of (1 + x)n is Tr+1 =

Consider (1 + x)11
Hence general term Tr+1 =
Given T5 = 24 T3

 4 = (x)2
x= 2
14. (a) no solution
Explanation:
We have given:

[Dividing by 2 on both sides]

..... (i)

Also we have 3x - 5 < -2

On combining (i) and (ii), we see that solution is not possible because nothing is common between these two solutions.(i.e., x <
1, x 7)
15. (a) B A
Explanation:
The union of two sets is a set of all those elements that belong to A or to B or to both A and B.
If A B = A , then B A

Now,

=
= 231.

19. (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
Both assertion and reason are true because in the given function at x = 0, f(x) . So, the function is not define
20.
(c) A is true but R is false.
Explanation:
Assertion Let a be the first term and r(|r| < 1) be the common ratio of the GP.
The GP is a, ar, ar2,...
According to the question,
T1 + T2 = 5 a + ar = 5 a(1 + r) = 5
and Tn = 3(Tn+1 + Tn+2 + Tn+3 +...)

arn-1 = 3(arn + arn+1 + arn+2 + ...)

arn-1 = 3arn(1 + r + r2 + ...)

 1 = 3r
1 - r = 3r
r=
Reason: Given, 3, 6, 9, 12 ...
Here, a = 3, d = 6 - 3 = 3
T10 = a + (10 - 1)d
=3+9 3
= 3 + 27 = 30

Section B
21. We have, g(x) = 2x and A = {1, 2, 3, ....10). Therefore,
g(1) = 2 1 = 2, g(2) = 2 2 = 4, g(3) = 2 3 = 6, g(4) = 2 4 = 8, g(5) = 2 5 = 10,
g(6) = 2 6 = 12, g(7) = 2 7 = 14, g(8) = 2 8 = 16, g(9) = 2 9 = 18
and, g(10) = 2 10 = 20.
g = {(x, g(x) : x A} = {(1, 2), (2, 4), (3, 6),...,(10, 20)}.
Hence, Range of g = g(A) = {g(x) : x A} = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20}.
OR
Here, A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, B = {1, 4, 5} and R is a relation 'is less than' from A to B.
i. R = {(1, 4), (1, 5), (2, 4), (2, 5), (3, 4), (3, 5), (4, 5)}
ii. Dom (R) = {1, 2, 3, 4), range (R) = {4, 5} and co-domain (R) = {1, 4, 5}.
iii. We may represent the above relation by an arrow diagram, shown below.

22. To Find: (3-4x)5

Formula used :
Let y = (3 - 4x)5
So by using the above formula, we have
(3- 4x)5 = 5(3 - 4x)4 (3 -4x) = - 20 (3 - 4x)4
Differentiation of y = (3 -4x)5 is -20(3 - 4x)4
23. We know that in a single throw of two dice, the total number of possible outcomes is (6 6) = 36.
Let S be n(the sample space of the event and is given by
S) = 36.
Let E3 = event of getting a prime number as the sum. Then,
E3 = {(1,1), (1,2), (1,4), (1,6), (2,1), (2,3), (2,5), (3,2), (3,4), (4,1), (4,3), (5,2), (5,6), (6,1), (6, 5)}
n(E3) = 15

P(E3) =
OR
We know that,
Probability of occurring = 1 - the probability of not occurring
So we have to find the probability of not occurring, i.e. probability such that both of them don’t have a birthday on the same day.
Let us suppose the first person has a birthday on a particular day then the other person can have a birthday in the remaining 364
days
The Probability of not having the same birthday =
The Probability of having same birthday = 1 - the probability of not having the same Birthday
=1-

Page 10 of 19
 =
Conclusion: Probability of two persons having the same birthday is
24. We know that A B represents the symmetric difference between sets A and B.
That is, A B = (A - B) (B -A)
According to the Question,
A = {1, 3, 4} and B = {2, 5, 9, 11}
Then, (A - B) = {1, 3, 4} - {2, 5, 9, 11} = {1, 3, 4}
and (B - A) = {2, 5, 9, 11} - {1, 3, 4} = {2, 5, 9, 11}
Hence,
A B = (A - B) (B - A)
= {1, 3, 4} {2, 5, 9, 11}
= {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 11}
25. Given: Points P(2, 3, 5)
As we know z = 0 in xy-plane.
The shortest distance of the plane will be the z-coordinate of the point
Hence, the distance of point P from xy-plane is 5 units
Section C
26. According to the question , we can write,
Given and g(x) = x
Domain of =
Domain of g = R
We know (f + g) (x) = f(x) + g(x)
Domain of f + g = Domain of Domain of g
Domain of f + g =
Domain of f + g =
Thus, f + g R is given by
f-g
We know (f – g) (x) = f(x) - g(x)

Domain of f - g = Domain of Domain of g

= Domain of f - g =
Domain of f - g =
Thus, f - g : R is given by
We know (fg) (x) = f(x) g(x)

Clearly, (fg) (x) is also defined only for non-negative real numbers x as a square of a real number is never negative.
Thus, fg is given by
We know

Clearly, is defined for all positive real values of x, except for the case when x = 0.
When x = 0, will be undefined as the division result will be indeterminate.
Domain of =

Domain of =

Thus, f/g is given by

27. Suppose A(1, 2) be the vertex of the triangle ABC and x + y = 0 be the equation of BC.

Now, we have to find the equations of sides AB and AC, each of which makes an angle 60° with the line x + y = 0
We know the equations of two lines passing through a point (x1, y1) and making an angle with the line whose slope is m.
y - y1 (x - x1)...(i)
Here,we have
x = 1, y = 2, = 60°, m = -1,substituting in (i)
Therefore, the equations of the required sides are
y-2 (x - 1) and y - 2 (x - 1)
y-2 (x - 1) and y - 2 (x - 1)
y - 2 = (2 - ) (x - 1) and y - 2 = (2 + ) (x - 1)
Solving x + y = 0 and y - 2 = (2 - ) (x - 1), we obtain
,
or
AB = BC = AD = units
Area of the required triangles square units.
28. Let general term in the expansion of be Tr+1

Then, Tr+1 = 15Cr (x4)15-r (- )r

Tr+1 = (- 1)r 15C (x)60-7r ...

r (i)

This term will contain x32, if 60 - 7r = 32

7r = 60 - 32 = 28 r= =4
The term containing x32 is T4+1 i.e., T5.

Coefficient of x32 = (- 1)4 15C =

4 1365 [using Eq. (i)]

Now, for the term containing x-17, put 60 - 7r = -17

7r = 77 r = 11
So, the term containing x-17 is T11+1 i.e., T12.

Coefficient of x-17 = (-1)11 15C =

11 - 1365 [using Eq. (i)]
OR
The exponent in is an even natural number. So, i.e. (n + 1)th terms is the middle term and is given by

29. Let f(x) = sin x2 . Then, f(x + h) = sin(x + h)2

=

 =

= cos

= (2x + h) cos

= (2x + h)

where
= (1) x (2x) cos x2 = 2x cos x2
= 2x cos x2
OR
We have
At x = 0, the value of the given function takes the form
Now,

30. Given:
= (2 + 31) + (2 + 32) + (2 + 33) + (2 + 311)
= ( 2 + 2 + 2 +........11 times) + (3 + 32 + 33 +....... +311)
= 22 + (3 + 32 + 33 +....... +311) ……….(i)
Here 3, 32,33 ....... ,311is in G.P.
a = 3 and r =

Putting the value of Sn in eq. (i), we get

OR
Here,it is given that: Three years back population = 10000
Time = 3 years
Rate = 20% per annum
We have,Number of people migrated on the very first year is 20% of 10000
= 2000
People left after migration in the very first year = 10000 - 2000 = 8000
Number of people migrated in the second year is 20% of 8000
= 1600
Therefore,People left after migration in the second year = 8000 - 1600 = 6400
Number of people migrated in the third year is 20% of 6400
,= 1280

Page 13 of 19
 Now, people left after migration in the third year = 6400 - 1280 = 5120
Therefore,the present population is 5120.
31. In a dictionary, the words at each stage are arranged in alphabetical order. In the given problem, we must consider the words
beginning with A, D, M, N, O, R in order. A will occur in the first place as often as there are ways of arranging the remaining 5
letters all at a time i.e., A will occur 5! times. Similarly, D, M, N, O will occur in the first place as the same number of times.
Number of words starting with letter A
= 5! = 120
Number of words starting with letter D
= 5! = 120
Number of words starting with letter M
= 5! = 120
Number of words starting with letter N
= 5! = 120
Number of words starting with letter O
= 5! = 120
Number of words beginning with letter R is 5! but one of these words is the word RANDOM.
So, we first find the number of words beginning with RAD and RAM.
Number of words starting with RAD = 3! = 6
Number of words starting with RAM
= 3! = 6
Now, the words beginning with ‘RAN’ must follow.
There are 3! words beginning with RAN. One of these words is the word RANDOM itself.
The first word beginning with RAN is the word RANDMO and the next word is RANDOM.
Rank of RANDOM = 5 120 + 2 6 + 2
= 600 + 12 + 2
= 614

The formula to calculate the Variance is given as, h2

h = difference between xi - xi-1 = 10

Substituting values from the table, variance is,

= 100 = 100

= [1.857 - 0.099] 100 = 175.8

and standard deviation = = = 13.259
33. Let the equation of the circle be
(x - h)2 + (y - k)2 = r2
If it passes through (7, 3) then
(7 - h)2 + (3 - k)2 = (3)2 [ r = 3]

Page 14 of 19
49 + h2 - 14h + 9 + k2 - 6k = 9
h2 + k2 - 14h - 6k + 49 = 0 …(i)
If centre (h, k) lies on the line y = x - 1 then
k = h - 1 …(ii)
Putting the value of k in eq. (i) we get
h2 + (h -1)2 - 14h - 6(h - 1) + 49 = 0
h2 + h2 + 1 - 2h - 14h - 6h + 6 + 49 = 0
2h2 - 22h + 56 = 0
h2 - 11h + 28 = 0
h2 - 7h - 4h + 28 = 0
h (h - 7) - 4(h - 7) = 0
(h - 4) (h - 7) = 0
h = 4, h = 7
From eq. (ii) we get k = 4 - 1 = 3 and k = 7 - 1 = 6.
So, the centers are (4, 3) and (7, 6).
Equation of the circle with centre (4, 3) and radius 3
(x - 4)2 + (y - 3)2 = 9
x2 + 16 - 8x + y2 +9- 6y = 9
x2 + y2 - 8x - 6y + 16 = 0
Equation of the circle with centre (7, 6) and radius 3
(x - 7)2 + (y - 6)2 = 9
x2 + 49 - 14x + y2 + 36 - 12y = 9
x2 + y2 - 14x - 12y + 76 = 0
Hence, the required equations are
x2 + y2 - 8x - 6y + 16 = 0
and x2 + y2 - 14x - 12y + 76 = 0.
OR
We have to find the equation of circle (C2) which passes through the centre of circle (C1) and is concentric with circle (C3).
We have, equation of circle (C1),

x2 + y2 + 8x + 10y - 7 = 0 ...(i)

On comparing it with x2 + y2 + 2 gx + 2 fy + c = 0, we get

g = 4, f = 5 and c = - 7
Centre of C1 is O1 = (- g, - f)
O1 = (- 4, - 5)

Now, equation of circle (C2) which is concentric with given circle (C3) having equation 2x2 + 2y2 - 8x - 12y - 9 = 0 is

2x2 + 2y2 - 8x - 12y + k = 0 ...(ii)

Since, circle (C2) passes through O1 (- 4, - 5)

2 (- 4)2 + 2 (- 5)2 - 8 ( - 4) - 12 (- 5) + k = 0
32 + 50 + 32 + 60 + k = 0
k = - 174
On putting the value of k in Eq. (ii), we get

Page 15 of 19
 2x2 + 2y2 - 8x - 12y - 174 = 0
x2 + y2 - 4x - 6y - 87 = 0 [dividing both sides by 2]
which is required equation of circle (C2).
34. The given system of linear inequalities is
-2- ... (i)
and 3 - x < 4 (x - 3) ... (ii)
From inequality (i), we get
-2-
- 24 - 3x 4 + 4x [multiplying both sides by 12]
- 24 - 3x - 4 4 + 4x - 4 [subtracting 4 from both sides]
- 28 - 3x 4x
- 28 - 3x + 3x 4x + 3x [adding 3x on both sides]
- 28 7x
- [dividing both sides by 7]
- 4 x or x - 4 ... (iii)
Thus, any value of x less than or equal to - 4 satisfied the inequality.
So, solution set is

From inequality (ii), we get

3 - x < 4 (x - 3)
3 - x < 4x - 12
3 - x + 12 < 4x - 12 + 12 [adding 12 on both sides]
15 - x < 4x
15 - x + x < 4x + x [adding x on both sides]
15 < 5x
3 < x [dividing both sides by 3]
or x > 3 ... (iv)
Thus, any value of x greater than 3 satisfies the inequality.
So, the solution set is

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

As no region is common, hence the given system has no solution.

Hence, values of cos , sin and tan are , and 4 + respectively

OR
We have to prove cot x + cot + cot = 3 cot 3x.

LHS = cot x + cot + cot

We know,
cot = cot = -cot ... (as - cot = cot (180o - )
Hence the above LHS becomes
