5. (a) (1, 1)
Explanation: The equation of the line perpendicular to the given line is x - y + k = 0
Since it passes through the origin,
0-0+k=0
Therefore, k = 0
Hence the equation of the line is x - y = 0
On solving these two equations we get x = 1 and y = 1
The point of intersection of these two lines is (1, 1)
Hence the coordinates of the foot of the perpendicular is (1, 1)

(b) 20
Explanation: The correct answer is (B)
20

Since, n(Xr) = 5, ⋃ Xr = S, we obtain n(S) = 100

r=1

But each element of S belong to exactly 10 of the X ’s

Thus, = 10 are the number of distinct elements in S.
100

Also each element of S belong to exactly 4 of the Yr’s and each Yr'scontain 2 elements. If S has n number of Yr in it.
Then 2n

19. (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: Assertion The collection of all natural numbers less than 100', is a well-defined collection. So, it is a set.
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
⇒ 1 = 3r( 1−r
)

⇒ 1 - r = 3r
⇒ r =

Reason: Given, 3, 6, 9, 12 ...

Here, a = 3, d = 6 - 3 = 3
∴ T10 = a + (10 - 1)d

Section B
21. According to the question , we can state,
We know the square of a real number is never negative.
Clearly, f(x) takes real values only when x + 1 ≥ 0
= x > -1
∴ x ∈ [−1, ∞)

Thus, domain of f = (−1, ∞)

Similarly, g(x) takes real values only when 9 - x2 ≥ 0
= 9 > x2
= x2 < 9
= x2 - 9 < 0
= x2 - 32 < 0
= (x + 3) (x - 3) < 0
= x ≥ -3 and x < 3
x ∈ [−3, 3]

Thus, domain of g = = [−3, 3]

i.f + g
We know (f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)
−−−−− −−−−−
2
∴ (f + g)(x) = √x + 1 + √9 − x

Domain of f + g = Domain of f ∩ Domain of g

= Domain of f + g = [−1, ∞) ∩ [−3, 3]
Domain of f + g = [-1, 3]
−−−−− −−−−−
Thus, f + g : [-1, 3] R is given by (f + g)(x) = √x + 1 + √9 − x 2

OR
|x−4|
Here we have, f(x) = x−4

We need to find where the function is defined.

To find the domain of the function f(x) we need to equate the denominator of the function to 0
Therefore,
x - 4 = 0 or x = 4
It means that the denominator is zero when x = 4
So, the domain of the function is the set of all the real numbers except 4
The domain of the function, D{f(x)} = (-∞ , 4) ∪ (4, ∞ )
The numerator is an absolute function of the denominator.
So, for any value of x from the domain set, we always get either +1 or -1 as the output.
So, the range of the function is a set containing -1 and +1
Therefore, the range of the function, Rf(x) = {-1, 1}

23. i. It is given that

: P(A) = 0.25, P(A or B) = 0.5 and P(B) = 0.4
To find : P(A and B)
Formula used : P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)

Page 9 of 19
 Substituting the value in the above formula we get,
0.5 = 0.25 + 0.4 - P(A and B)
0.5 = 0.65 - P(A and B)
P(A and B) = 0.65 - 0.5
P(A and B) = 0.15
ii. Given : P(A) = 0.25, P(A and B) = 0.15 ( from part (i))

Substituting the value in the above formula we get,
P(A and B ¯
) = 0.25 - 0.15
P(A and B) = 0.10
¯

P(A and B ¯
) = 0.10
OR
Given that P(A) = 0.5, P(B) = 0.4 and P (A ∪ B) = 0.8
Applying the general addition rule,
P (A ∪ B) = P (A) + P (B) − P (A ∩ B)

∴ 0.8 = 0.5 + 0.4 − P (A ∩ B)

⇒ P (A ∩ B) = 0.9 − 0.8 = 0.1

∴ P (A ∩ B) < P (A) and P (A ∩ B) < P (B)

Thus the given probabilities are consistently defined.

24. Let H be the set of students who know Hindi and E be the set of students who know English.
Here n(H) = 100, n(E) = 50 and n(H ∩ E) = 25
We know that n(H ∪ E) = n(H) + n(E) − n(H ∩ E)
= 100 + 50 - 25 = 125.
25. Here, it is given: Point (0,0) and line 7x + 24y = 50
We have to find: The length of the perpendicular from the origin to the line 7x + 24y = 50
We know that the length of the perpendicular from P (m,n) to the line ax + by + c = 0 is given by,
|am+bn+c|
D=
√a2 + b2

The given equation of the line is 7x + 24y - 50=0

Here m= 0 and n = 0, a = 7, b = 24, c = -50
|7(0)+24(0)−50|

|0+0−50| |−50| |−50| 50

Therefore, the length of perpendicular from the origin to the line 7x + 24y = 50 is 2 units.

26. Given: Six persons are to be arranged in a row.
Assume six seats, now in the first seat, any one of six members can be seated, so the total number of possibilities is 6C1

Similarly, in the second seat, any one of five members can be seated, so the total number of possibilities is 5C1

In the third seat, any one of four members can be seated, so the total number of possibilities is 4C1

In the fourth seat, any one of three members can be seated, so the total number of possibilities is 3C1

In the fifth seat, any one of two members can be seated, so the total number of possibilities is 2C1

Page 10 of 19
 In the sixth seat, only one remaining person can be seated, so the total number of possibilities is 1C1

Hence the total number of possible outcomes = 6C1 × 5C1 × 4C1 × 3C1 × 2C1 × 1C1 = 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 720

30. Let the first term of the A.P. be a and the common difference be d.
∴ a = a, b = a + d and c = a + 2d

a + b + c = 18
⇒ 3a + 3d = 18

⇒ a + d = 6 ...(i)
Now, according to the question, a + 4, a + d + 4 and a + 2d + 36 are in G.P.
∴ (a + d + 4)2 = (a + 4)(a + 2d + 36)
⇒ (6 - d + d + 4)2 = (6 - d + 4) (6 - d + 2d + 36) [using(i)]

⇒ 100 = 420 + 10d - 42d - d2
⇒ d2 + 32d - 320 = 0
⇒ (d + 40)(d - 8) = 0

⇒ d = 8, -40

Now, substituting d = 8, -40 in equation (i), we obtain, a = -2, 46, respectively.

For a = -2 and d = 8, we obtain
a = -2, b = 6, c = 14
And for a = 46 and d = -40, we obtain
a = 46, b = 6, c = -34

We have, E = {x : x ∈ Z, x2 ≤ 4}
Here, x ∈ Z and x2 ≤ 4
If x = -2, then x2 = (-2)2 = 4 = 4
If x = -1, then x2 = (-1)2 = 1 < 4
If x = 0, then x2 = (0)2 = 0 < 4
If x = 1, then x2 = (1)2 = 1 < 4
If x = 2, then x2 = (2)2 = 4 = 4
Therefore, E = {-2, -1, 0, 1, 2}
and F = {x : x ∈ Z, x2 = 4}
Here, x ∈ Z and x2 = 4
If x = -2, then x2 = (-2)2 = 4 = 4
If x = 2, then x2 = (2)2 = 4 = 4
Therefore, F = {-2, 2}

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

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

Where, sin 2A + sin 2B + sin 2C = 2sin A cos A + 2sin(B + C)cos(B - C)

A+B A−B
[ By using, sin A + sin B = 2 sin( 2

and sin 2A = 2sin A cos A]

Since A + B + C = π
⇒ B + C = 180 - A
∴ sin 2A + sin 2B + sin 2C = 2sin A cos A + 2sin(π - A)cos(B - C )

= 2sin Acos A + 2sin A cos(B - C)

= 2sin A{cos A + cos(B - C)}
( but cos A = cos { 180 - ( B + C ) } = - cos ( B + C )
And now using
A+B −A+B
cos A - cos B = 2 sin( 2

38. i. (x + iy)(2 - 3i) = 4 + i

2x − (3x)i + (2y)i − 3yi2 = 4 + i
2x + 3y + (2y − 3x)i = 4 + i
Comparing the real & imaginary parts,
2x + 3y = 4 ...(i)
2y − 3x = 1 ...(ii)
Solving eq (i) & eq (ii), 4x + 6y = 8

⇒ 1 = a + bi

⇒ 1 + 0i = a + bi

Comparing the real and imaginary parts,

We have a = 1, b = 0
Hence (a, b) = (1, 0)
OR
Given, (a - 2, 2b + 1) = (b - 1, a + 2)
Comparing x coordinates of both the sides, we get,
a-2=b-1
∴ a - b = 1 ...(1)

Comparing y coordinates of both the sides, we get,

2b + 1 = a + 2
∴ a - 2b = -1 ...(2)
Subtracting equation (2) from (1), we get,
(a - a) + (-b - (-2b)) = 1 - (-1)
∴ (-b + 2b) = 1 + 1

∴ b = 2

Put this value in equation (1), we get,
