2. (a) (- 1, 0) ∪ (1, 2) ∪ ( 2, ∞ )
Explanation: For f(x) to be real, we must have
4 - x2 ≠ 0 and x3 - x > 0
⇒ x2 ≠ 4 and x(x2 - 1) > 0
⇒ x ≠ 2, -2 and x(x - 1)(x + 1) > 0

⇒ x ≠ 2, -2 and -1 < x < 0, 1 < x < ∞

⇒ z = i × i

⇒ z4 = 1
8.
(d) {2, 4, 6}
Explanation: We have , x + 2y = 8
8−x
y= 2

since, x and y are Natural numbers, So x must be an even number.

if x = 2, y = 3;
if x = 4, y = 2;
if x = 6, y = 1.
So, relation R = {(2, 3), (4, 2), (6, 1)}
Hence, the domain of R is {2, 4, 6}.

√−x−x √−2x
√|x|−x

⇒ f(x) is defined when x < 0

Therefore, domain = (−∞, 0)
OR
−−−−−
It is clear that, f(x) = √9 − x2 is not defined when (9 - x2) < 0, i.e.
When x2 >
9 i,.e when x > 3 or x < -3
dom (f) = |x ∈ R : −3 ≤ x ≤ 3|
−−−−−
Also, y = √9 − x 2
⇒ y

−−−−−

⇒ x = √9 − y

clearly, x is not defined when (9 − y 2

)< 0

but (9 − y 2
)< 0 ⇒ y

⇒ y > 3 or y < −3

range (f ) = {y ∈ R : −3 ≤ y ≤ 3} .

23. Since the distance from the focus to the vertex is 5 cm. We have, a = 5. If the origin is taken at the vertex and the axis of the
mirror lies along the positive x-axis, the equation of the parabolic section is
y2 = 4 (5) x = 20 x ==> required eqution of parabola y2 = 20x
Note that x = 45. Thus
y2 = 900
Therefore y = ± 30
Hence AB = 2y = 2 × 30 = 60 cm
OR
We are given that:
4x2 + y = 0
= x2
−y
⇒

Comparing the given equation with x2 = - 4ay

4a = 4
a= 16

∴ Vertex = (0, 0)

Focus = (0, -a) = (0, 16
)

Equation of the directrix:

y=a
i.e. y = 1

16

Axis = x = 0
Therefore, length of the latus rectum = 4a = 1

24. Using identity,

n(A ∪ B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A ∩ B)

Page 9 of 17
 21 = 10 + 15 - n(A ∩ B)
∴ n(A ∩ B) = (10 + 15) - 21

= 25 - 21 = 4
∴ n(A - B) = n(A ∩ B')
= n(A) - n(A ∩ B)
= 10 - 4

25. Given that equations of the lines are,
x - 4y = 3 .... (i)
6x - y = 11 .... (ii)
Let m1 and m2 be the slopes of these lines.
Here, m 1 =

26. Here f (x) = x−3

f (x) assume real values for all real values of x except for x - 3 = 0 i.e .x = 3
Thus domain of f (x) = R - {3}
Let f (x) = y
2 (x+3)(x−3)
x −9
∴ y = =
x−3 (x−3)

⇒ y=x+3
y takes all real values except 6 as domain =R-{3}
Thus range of f (x) = R - {6}.
27. Let the marks obtained by Ragini in fifth examination be x.
87+92+94+95+x
Then average of five examinations = 5
87+92+94+95+x 368+x
Now 5
≥ 90 ⇒
5
≥ 90

Multiplying both sides by 5, we have

368 + x ≥ 450

⇒ x ≥ 450 − 368

⇒ x ≥ 82

Thus the minimum marks needed to be obtained by Ragini = 82.

28. Consider, C(0, y, 0) point which lies on the y-axis and is equidistant from points A(3, 1, 2) and B(5, 5, 2).
∴ AC = BC
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−− − −−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−− −
√(0 − 3)2 + (y − 1)2 + (0 − 2)2 = √(0 − 5)2 + (y − 5)2 + (0 − 2)2

Squaring both sides,

⇒ (0 - 3)2 + (y - 1)2 + (0 - 2)2 = (0 - 5)2 + (y - 5)2 + (0 - 2)2
⇒ 9 + y2 - 2y +1 + 4 = 25 + y2 - 10y + 25 + 4
⇒ 8y = 40

⇒ y=5
The coordinate of C is (0, 5, 0).
OR
ABC is a triangle with vertices A (0, 0, 6), (0, 4, 0) and C (6, 0, 0).
Let points D, E and F are the mid-points of BC, AC and AB, respectively. So, AD, BE and CF will be the medians of the triangle.

(2 sin 66o sin 6o)(2 sin 78o sin 42o)
But 2 sin A sin B = cos (A - B) - cos (A + B)
Then the above equation becomes,

But cos(90o - θ) = sin θ and cos(180o - θ) = -cos(θ).

Then the above equation becomes,

Section B
21. i. Given: f : R → R such that f(x) = x2
since the value of x is squared, f(x) will always be equal or greater than 0
∴ the range is [0, ∞ )

ii. Given: g : R → R such that g(x) = x2 + 1

since, the value of x is squared and also adding with 1, g(x) will always be equal or greater than 1
∴ Range of g(x) = [1, ∞ )

iii. Given: h : R → R such that h(x) = sin x

We know that, sin (x) always lies between -1 to 1
∴ Range of h(x) = (-1,1)

OR
According to the question, f (x) = 1 − |x − 2|
We observe that f(x) is defined for all x ∈ R. Therefore, Domain(f) = R
∴ 0 ≤ |x-2| < ∞ for all x ∈ R

⇒ -∞ < -|x - 2| ≤ 0 for all x ∈ R

⇒ -∞ < 1- |x - 2| ≤ 1 for all x ∈ R

⇒ -∞ < f(x) ≤ 1 for all x ∈ R

∴ Range(f) = (-∞ , 1]

(3x2 - x + 1)4 = 4(3x2 - x + 1)3× dx
d
(3x2 - x + 1) = 4(3x2 - x + 1)3 (6x - 1)
Differentiation of y = (3x2 - x + 1)4 is 4(3x2 - x + 1)3(6x - 1)
23. When a card is drawn from a well shuffled deck of 52 cards, the number of possible outcomes is 52.
Let C be the event ‘card drawn is black card’.
Since total number of black cards = 26
So, P(C) = =

Thus, probability of a black card = 1

OR
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}

⇒ x ∈ (A ∩ B) and x ∈ C

⇒ x ∈ A and x ∈ B and x ∈ C

⇒ x ∈ A and x ∈ (B ∩ C)

⇒ x ∈ A ∩ (B ∩ C)

Page 10 of 18
 ⇒ (A ∩ B) ∩ C ⊂ A ∩ (B ∩ C) …..(i)
Now, suppose x be an element of A ∩ (B ∩ C)
Then, x ∈ A and (B ∩ C)
⇒ x ∈ A and x ∈ B and x ∈ C
⇒ x ∈ (A ∩ B) and x ∈ C

⇒ x ∈ (A ∩ B) ∩ C

⇒ A ∩ (B ∩ C) ⊂ (A ∩ B) ∩ C …..(ii)

Using (i) and (ii), we have (A ∩ B) ∩ C = A ∩ (B ∩ C)

[every set is a subset of itself]
Hence, proved.
25. Therefore required equation of the line joining the points (6, 8) and (-3, -2) is
−2−8
y-8= −3−6
(x − 6)

⇒ 10x - 9y + 12 = 0
Suppose 10x - 9y + 12 = 0 divide the line joining the points (2, 3) and (4, -5) at point P in the ratio k : 1
4k+2 −5k+3
∴ P≡( k+1

k+1

P lies on the line 10x - 9y + 12 = 0

4k+2 −5k+3
∴ 10 (

k+1
) + 12 =0
⇒ 40k + 20 + 45k - 27 + 12k + 12 = 0
⇒ 97k + 5 = 0

⇒ k= 97

Therefore, the line joining the points (2, 3) and (4, -5) is divided by the line passing through the points (6, 8) and (-3, -2) in the
ratio -5 : 97 externally.

2n n

So, the coefficient of the middle term in the expansion of (1 + x)2n is 2n

Cn .
Now, consider the expansion of (1 + x)2n-1 Here, the index (2n-1) is odd.
th th

i.e., nth and (n + 1)th terms are middle terms.

who passed in Science be S.
Then n(U) =100, n(M) = 12, n(E) = 15, n(S) =8, n(E ∩ M) = 6, n(M ∩ S) = 7, n(E ∩ S) = 4 and n(E ∩ M ∩ S) = 4
Let us draw a Venn diagram

According to the Venn diagram,

Page 13 of 18
 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.
ii. Number of students who passed in Mathematics and Science but not in English, f = 3.
iii. Number of students who passed in Mathematics only, c = 3.

OR
Here, we are given the coordinates of the focus and vertex.
So, we require the equation of the directrix.
Let Z(x1, y1) be the coordinates of the point of intersection of the axis and the directrix.
Then, the vertex A(2, 1) is the mid-point of the line segment joining Z(x1, y1) and the focus S(1, - 1)

x1 +1 y1 +(−1)
∴
2
= 2 and 2
= 1 ⇒ x1 = 3, y1 = 3
Thus, the directrix meets the axis at Z(3, 3)
Let m1 be the slope of the axis. Then,
m1 = (Slope of the line joining the focus S and the vertex A) = 1+1

2−1
= 2 .... (i)
∴ Slope of the directrix = - 1

2
[∵ Directrix is perpendicular to the axis]
Thus, the directrix passes through (3, 3) and has slope - 1/2.
So its equation is

Page 15 of 18

(x - 3)
or, x + 2y - 9 = 0
Let P (x, y) be a point on the parabola.

The axis passes through the focus (1, -1), and its slope is m1 = 2
Therefore, equation of the axis is y +1 = 2(x, -1) or, 2x - y - 3 = 0

x 1+x

From inequality (i), we get
1+x

4 3

⇒ - 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]

28 7x
≥
7 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 x ∈ (−∞, −4]

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 x ∈ (3, ∞)

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

Explanation: Given equation is y = 3x + 4 …(i)

Since, this equation is in y = mx + b form.
Thus, the slope (m1) of the given equation is 3
Suppose equation of any line passing through the point (2, 3) is
y – y1 = m(x – x1)
⇒ y – 3 = m(x – 2) …(ii)
Given that eq. (i) is perpendicular to eq. (ii)
And we know that, if two lines are perpendicular then,
m1m2 = -1
⇒ 3 × m2 = -1
1
⇒ m2 = −
3
1
∴ the slope of the required line = − 3

Substituting the value of slope in eq. (ii), we obtain

1
y− 3 = − (x − 2)
3

⇒ 3y – 9 = -x + 2
⇒ x + 3y – 9 – 2 = 0
⇒ x + 3y – 11 = 0 …(iii)

Now, we have to find the coordinates of foot of the perpendicular.

Solving eq. (i) and (iii), we obtain
x + 3(3x + 4) – 11 = 0 [from(i)]
⇒ x + 9x + 12 – 11 = 0

Page 6 of 21

⇒ iy ≠ 0 ⇒ y ≠ 0

8.
(d) {(8,11), (10,13)}
Explanation: Since, y = x – 3;
Therefore, for x = 11, y = 8.
For x = 12, y = 9. [ But the value y = 9 does not exist in the given set.]
For x = 13, y =10.
So, we have R = {(11, 8), (13, 10)}
Now, R−1 = {(8, 11), (10, 13)}.
9.
(d) 8 ≤ x ≤ 22
Explanation: Let the length of the shortest piece be x cm. Then we have the length of the second and third pieces are x + 3 and
2x centimeters respectively.
According to the question,
x + (x + 3) + 2x ≤ 91
⇒ 4x + 3 ≤ 91

⇒ 4x ≤ 88

⇒ x ≤ 22
Also 2x ≥ (x + 3) + 5
⇒ 2x ≥ x + 8

⇒ x ≥ 8

⇒ 8 ≤ x ≤ 22

Hence the shortest piece may be atleast 8 cm long but it cannot be more than 22cm in length.

⇒ 8 sin θ = 0
For this to be zero,

But
0 < θ < 2π

Hence,
θ= π

18. (a) 72
Explanation: To form an even number the last number can only be an even digit, therefore the number of impossibility for the
last digit of number = 3
Now the ten's place can be filled by any of the remaining 4 digits, and hence the no. of ways for ten's place = 4
Then there remain three digits, so no. of ways of filling hundred's place = 3
Similarly no. of ways of filling thousand's place = 2 and of ten thousand = 1
Therefore, the total possibilities are = 3 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 72

Reason is also the but not the correct explanation of Assertion.
20. (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: Assertion: Let x̄ be the mean of x1, x2 ..., xn. Then, variance is given by
n
2 1 2
σ = ∑ (xi − x̄)
1 n
i=1

If a is added to each observation, the new observations will be

yi = xi + a

Then,

ȳ = ∑ yi = ∑ (xi + a)

Thus, the variance of the new observations is σ 2

i=1 i=1
n

= ∑ (xi − x̄) = σ
n 1
i=1

Thus, the variance of the new observations is same as that of the original observations.
Reason: We may note that adding (or subtracting) a positive number to (or from) each observation of a group does not affect
the variance.
Section B
21. We have,
A = {1, 2, 3), B = {3, 4} and C = {4 ,5 , 6}
i. ∴ B ∩ C = {3, 4} ∩ {4, 5, 6} = {4}
∴ A × (B ∩ C ) = {1, 2, 3, } × {4}

= {(1, 4), (2, 4), (3, 4)}

⇒ A × (B ∩ C ) = {(1, 4), (2, 4), (3, 4)}
ii. ∴ A × B = {1, 2, 3, } × {3, 4}
= {(1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 3), (2, 4), (3, 3), (3, 4)}
and,
A × C = {1, 2, 3} × {4, 5, 6}

= {(1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 4),(2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6)}
(A × B) ∩ (A × C ) = {(1, 4), (2, 4), (3, 4)}

OR
We know the square of a real number is never negative.
Clearly, f(x) takes real values only when 16 – x2 ≥ 0
= 16 ≥ x2
= x2 ≤ 16
= x2 – 16 ≤ 0
= x2 – 42 ≤ 0
= (x + 4)(x – 4) ≤ 0
= x ≥ –4 and x ≤ 4
∴ x ∈ [–4, 4]
In addition, f(x) is also undefined when 16 – x2 = 0 because denominator will be zero and the result will be indeterminate.
16 – x2 = 0 ⇒ x = ±4
Hence, x ∈ [–4, 4] – {–4, 4}
∴ x ∈ (–4, 4)
Thus, domain of f = (–4, 4)

= 4y2(1 – 16y2) ≤ 0

Clearly, the lines 4x - 3y + 10 = 0 and 4x - 3y - 30 = 0 are parallel and are touching the circle.
It is given that the centre of the circle lies on the line 2x + y = 0 which intersects the lines 4x - 3y + 10 = 0 and 4x - 3y - 30 = 0 at
A (-1, 2) and B (3, - 6) respectively.
Therefore, the centre of the circle is the mid-point of AB.
So, the coordinates of the centre C are (1, - 2)

Now, subtracting 3 on both sides in the above equation

⇒ 3 – 2x – 3 < 9x + 3 - 3
⇒ -2x < 9x
Now, subtracting 9x from both the sides in the above equation
⇒ -2x – 9x < 9x – 9x

⇒ - 11x < 0

Multiplying -1 on both the sides in above equation

29. To prove: (23n - 7n -1) is divisible by 49, where n ∈ N
(23n - 7n -1) = (23)n – 7n - 1

= (1 + 7)n - 7n - 1
Now using binomial theorem..

⇒ 0 1

= nC0 + nC17 + nC272 + …… +nCn-17n-1 + nCn7n - 7n-1

= 72[nC2 + nC37 + … + nCn-1 7n-3 + nCn 7n-2]

= 49[nC2 + nC37 + … + nCn-1 7n-3 + nCn 7n-2]

= 49K, where K = (nC2 + nC37 + … + nCn-1 7n-3 + nCn7n-2)

Now, (23n - 7n -1) = 49K

Therefore (23n - 7n -1) is divisible by 49.

Section E
36. i. The path traced by Javelin is parabola. A parabola is the set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from a fixed line and a
fixed point (not on the line) in the plane.
compare x2 = -16y with x2 = -4ay
⇒ - 4a = -16

⇒ a=4
coordinates of focus for parabola x2 = -4ay is (0, -a)
⇒ coordinates of focus for given parabola is (0, -4)

ii. compare x2 = -16y with x2 = -4ay

⇒ -4a = -16

⇒ a=4
Equation of directrix for parabola x2 = -4ay is y = a
⇒ Equation of directrix for parabola x2 = -16y is y = 4
Length of latus rectum is 4a = 4 × 4 = 16
iii. Equation of parabola with axis along y - axis
x2 = 4ay
which passes through (5, 2)
⇒ 25 = 4a × 2

⇒ 4a =
25

hence required equation of parabola is

2 25
x = y
2

⇒ 2x2 =
25y
Equation of directrix is y= -a
Hence required equation of directrix is 8y + 25 = 0.
OR
Since the focus (2,0) lies on the x-axis, the x-axis itself is the axis of the parabola.
Hence the equation of the parabola is of the form either y2 = 4ax or y2 = -4ax.
Since the directrix is x = -2 and the focus is (2,0), the parabola is to be of the form y2 = 4ax with a = 2.
Hence the required equation is y2 = 4(2)x = 8x
length of latus rectum = 4a = 8

21. As given in the question we have, A = {1, 2, 3}, B = {4} and C = {5}
From set theory, (B - C) = {4}
∴ A × (B − C ) = {1, 2, 3} × {4} = {(1, 4), (2, 4), (3, 4)}........(i)

Page 8 of 14
 Now,
A × B = {1, 2, 3} × {4} = {(1, 4), (2, 4), (3, 4)}
and, A × C = {1, 2, 3} × {5} = {(1,5), (2, 5), (3, 5)}
∴ (A × B) − (A × C ) = {(1, 4), (2, 4), (3, 4)}.......(ii)

From equation (i) and equation (ii), we get

A × (B − C ) = (A × B) − (A × C )

We can see the equations (i) and (ii) have same ordered pairs.
Hence verified.

Clearly, a < b, so the major and minor axes of the given ellipse are along y and x-axes respectively.

24. Let us consider the following sets A, B and C such that
A = {1, 2, 3}
B = {2, 3, 5}
C = {4, 5, 6}
Now (A ∩ B) ∪ C = ({1, 2, 3} ∩ {2, 3, 5}) ∪ {4, 5, 6}
= {2, 3} ∪ {4, 5, 6}
= {2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
And A ∩ (B ∪ C) = {1, 2, 3} ∩ [{2, 3, 5} ∪ {4, 5, 6}
= {1, 2, 3} ∩ {2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

25. Let A(-1, -6), B(2, -5) and C(7, 2) be the vertices of the parallelogram ABCD and D be the fourth vertex of the parallelogram.

= {(a, b): a = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
Now a = x and b = x + 5
Putting a = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 we get b = 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
∴ Domain of R = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
Range of R = {5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}
27. Let the length of the shortest side be x cm.
Then length of longest side = 3x cm
length of third side = (3x - 2)cm
Perimeter of triangle = x + 3x + 3x - 2

Now 7x − 2 ⩾ 61
⇒ 7x ⩾ 61 + 2 ⇒ 7x ⩾ 63 ⇒ x ⩾ 9

Thus the minimum length of shortest side = 9 cm

y – 2 = m (x – 1) ... (1)
Again, this line is perpendicular to the given line x + y + 7 = 0 whose slope is – 1
Thus, we have m ( – 1) = – 1 or m = 1

(b) 11
Explanation: We have an n sided polygon has n vertices. If you join every distinct pair of vertices you will get lines.
These lines account for the n sides of the polygon as well as for the diagonals.

But number of diagonals = 44

n(n−3)
⇒ 44 = 2

⇒ 88 = n(n - 3)
⇒ n2 - 3n - 88 = 0

Here we have, f(x) =

we need to find where the function is defined

The condition for the function to be defined
x2 - 1 > 0
⇒ x2 > 1
⇒ x > 1

So, the domain of the function is the set of all the real numbers greater than 1
The domain of the function, D{f(x)} = (1, ∞ )
Now put any value of x within the domain set we get the value of the function always a fraction whose denominator is not
equalled to 0
The range of the function, Rf(x) = (0, 1).

23. When a fair die is thrown, the possible outcomes are

S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
∴ Total number of outcomes =n(S)= 6 and

Odd numbers in a throw={1, 3, 5}

We have to find the probability that the number is divisible by 4.
Total number of five digit numbers formed by the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 is 5!.
∴ Total number of elementary events = 5! = 120.

We know that a number is divisible by 4 if the number formed by last two digits is divisible by 4.
Therefore last two digits can be 12,24, 32, 52 that is, last two digits can be filled in 4 ways.
But corresponding to each of these ways there are 3! = 6 ways of filling the remaining three places.
Therefore the total number of five digit numbers formed by the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and divisible by 4 is 4 × 6 = 24

Solving a +b = 1 and a - b = -5, we have

In this question first, the arrangement of women is required.
The positions where women can be made to sit is 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th. There are 4 even places in which 3 women are to be arranged.
Women can be placed in P (4,3) ways. The rest 5 men can be arranged in 5! ways.
Therefore, the total number of arrangements is P (4,3)× 5!
Formula:
Number of permutations of n distinct objects among r different places, where repetition is not allowed, is
P(n,r) = n!

(n−r)!

Therefore, a permutation of 4 different objects in 3 places and the arrangement of 5 men are
P(4,3)× 5! = 4!

We have to prove that sin 5x = 5 sin x - 20 sin3 x + 16 sin5 x.
Let us consider LHS = sin 5x
sin 5x = sin(3x + 2x)
But we know,
sin(x + y) = sin x cos y + cos x sin y ... (i)
⇒ sin 5x = sin 3x cos 2x + cos 3x sin 2x
⇒ sin 5x = sin (2x + x) cos 2x + cos (2x + x) sin 2x ... (ii)
And
cos (x + y) = cos(x)cos(y) - sin(x)sin(y) ... (iii)
Now substituting equation (i) and (iii) in equation (ii), we get
⇒ sin 5x = (sin 2x cos x + cos 2x sin x)cos 2x + (cos 2x cos x - sin 2x sin x) sin 2x

⇒ sin 5x = sin 2x cos 2x cos x + cos2 2x sin x + (sin 2x cos 2x cos x - sin2 2x sin x)
⇒ sin 5x = 2sin 2x cos 2x cos x + cos2 2x sin x - sin2 2x sin x ... (iv)
Now sin 2x = 2sin x cos x ... (v)
And cos 2x = cos2x - sin2x ... (vi)
Substituting equation (v) and (vi) in equation (iv), we get
⇒ sin 5x = 2(2sin x cos x)(cos2x - sin2x)cos x + (cos2x - sin2x)2sin x - (2sin x cos x)2sin x
⇒ sin 5x = 4(sin x cos2 x)([1 - sin2x] - sin2x) + ([1 - sin2x] - sin2x)2sin x - (4sin2 x cos2 x)sin x (as cos2x + sin2x = 1 ⇒ cos2x =
1 - sin2x)
⇒ sin 5x = 4(sin x [1 - sin2x])(1 - 2sin2x) + (1 - 2sin2x)2sin x - 4sin3 x [1 - sin2x]
⇒ sin 5x = 4sin x(1 - sin2x)(1 - 2sin2x) + (1 - 4sin2x + 4sin4x)sin x - 4sin3 x + 4sin5x
⇒ sin 5x = (4sin x - 4sin3x)( 1 - 2sin2x) + sin x - 4sin3x + 4sin5x - 4sin3 x + 4sin5x
⇒ sin 5x = 4sin x - 8sin3x - 4sin3x + 8sin5x + sin x - 8sin3x + 8sin5x
⇒ sin 5x = 5sin x - 20sin3x + 16sin5x
Hence LHS = RHS
Hence proved.

Here, W denotes the set of whole numbers.
We have 2a + b = 5 where a, b ∈ W
∴ a = 0 ⇒ b = 5

⇒ a = 1 ⇒ b = 5 − 2 = 3

and a = 2 ⇒ b = 1
For a > 3, the values of b given by the above relation are not whole numbers.

The mid-point of the line segment joining points (h, k) and (4, – 13) is given by 2
,

Page 6 of 16
 k+13
Again the slope of the line joining points (h, k) and (4, –13) is given by h−4
.
k+3
This line is perpendicular to the given line and therefore, (-5)
h−4
= −1

This gives 5k + 65 = h – 4 or h – 5k – 69 = 0 ... (2)

On solving (1) and (2), we obtain h = –1 and k = –14.
Therefore thethe point (-1, -14) is the reflection of the given point.

20. (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: Assertion: In the calculation of variance, we find that the units of individual observations xi and the unit of their
mean x̄ are different from that of variance, since variance involves the sum of squares of (xi - x̄ ).
For this reason, the proper measure of dispersion about the mean of a set of observations is expressed as positive square-root of
the variance and is called standard deviation.

= {(-4, -1), (-2, -2), (-1, -4), (1, 4), (2, 2), (4, 1)}

x −16
Here we are given that, f(x) = x−4

Need to find: where the function is defined.

2
x −16
Let, f(x) = x−4
= y ........(i)
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, ∞ )
Now if we put any value of x from the domain set the output value will be either (-ve) or (+ve), but the value will never be 8
So, the range of the function is the set of all the real numbers except 8
The range of the function, Rf(x) = (-∞ , 8) ∪ (8, ∞ )

The coordinates of its vertices and foci are (± a, 0) and (± ae, 0) respectively.
But, the coordinates of vertices and foci are given as (± 5, 0) and (± 7, 0) respectively.

We are given:

⇒ (y - 2)2 - 4 + 4x = 0
⇒ (y - 2)2 = - 4 (x - 1)
Let Y = y - 2
X=x-1
Then, we have:
Y2 = - 4X
On comparing the given equation with Y2 = - 4aX
4a = 4 ⇒ a = 1
∴ Vertex = (X = 0, Y = 0) = (x = 1, y = 2)

Focus = (X = -a, Y = 0) = (x - 1 = - 1, y - 2 = 0) = (x = 0, y = 2)
Equation of the directrix:
x=a
i.e. x - 1 = 1 ⇒ x = 2
Axis = Y = 0
i.e. y - 2 = 0 ⇒ y = 2
Therefore, length of the latus rectum = 4a = 4 units
24. Now,

21 = 7 × 3
28 = 7 × 4
35 = 7 × 5

∴ Equation of the line is 2x + y - 4 = 0.

Solution set of inequation (i) is [2, ∞ )

The solution sets of inequations (i) and (ii) are represented graphically on the real line in the above figure.
Clearly, the intersection of these solution sets is the set [2,4].
Hence, the solution set of the given system of inequations is the interval [2,4].

⇒ 36(1 - sin2x) = 81 + 64 sin2x - 144 sinx
⇒ 100 sin2x - 144 sinx + 45 = 0
Now, α and β are the roots of the given equation;
therefore, cos α and cos β are the roots of the above equation.

(Product of roots of a quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 is c

Again, 6 cosx + 8 sinx = 9

⇒ 64 sin2x = (9 - 6 cos x)2

⇒ 64(1 - cos2x) = 81 + 36cos2x - 108 cosx
⇒ 100 cos2x - 108 cosx + 17 = 0
Now, α and β are the roots of the given equation;
therefore, sinα and sinβ are the roots of the above equation.
Therefore, cos α cos β = 17

Hence, the number of words in which both L do not come together

= Total number of words - Number of words in which both L come together
= 7560 - 1680 = 5880
Hence, the total number of words in which both L do not come together is 5880

Explanation: We have to form 9 digit numbers from 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and we know that 0 can not be put on extremely
left place. Therefore, first place from the left can be filled in 9 ways.
Now repetition is not allowed. Therefore, the remaining 8 places can be filled in 9!
∴ The required number of ways = 9 × 9!

Section B
21. First, let A = B. Then, we have to prove that A × B = B × A
Now, A = B
⇒ A × B = A × A and B × A = A × A

⇒ A× B= B× A

Conversely, let A × B = B × A . Then, we have to prove that A = B.

Let x be an arbitrary element of A. Then,
x ∈ A

⇒ (x, b) ∈ A × B for all b∈B.

⇒ (x, b) ∈ B × A

⇒ x ∈ B

∴ A⊆ B

Let y be an arbitrary element of A. Then,

y ∈ B

⇒ (a, y) ∈ A × B for all a ∈ A

⇒ (a, y) ∈ B × A

⇒ y ∈ A

∴ B⊆ A

Hence, A = B.
Hence, A × B = B × A ⇔ A = B

Let S be the sample space of the event and is given by
n(S) = 36.
Let E5 = event of getting a total of at least 10. Then,
E5 = event of getting a total of 10 or 11 or 12 = ((4, 6), (5, 5), (5, 6), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)}.

 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

But 2 cos A cos B = cos (A + B) + cos (A - B)

Then the above equation becomes,

But cos(90o - θ) = sinθ and cos(180o - θ)= -cos(θ).

ii. Given that: (z + 3)(z̄ + 3)

Let z = x + yi
So (z + 3)(z̄ + 3) = (x + yi + 3)(x - yi + 3)
= [(x + 3) + yi][(x + 3) - yi]
= (x + 3)2 - y2i2
= (x + 3)2 + y2
= |x + 3 + iy|2
= |z + 3|2
iii. The conjugate of -6 - 24i is -6 + 24i.
It is given that -6 + 24i = (x – iy) (3 + 5i)
-6 + 24i = 3x + 5xi - 3iy -5yi2
-6 + 24i = (3x + 5y) + i(5x - 3y)
Comparing the real and imaginary parts,
3x + 5y = -6
5x - 3y = 24
Solving these two equations we get x = 3 and y = -3.
Therefore, x = 3 and y = -3
Then x + y = 3 - 3 = 0
OR
z = 3 + 4i
⇒ z̄ = 3 - 4i

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)

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 = 3r( 1−r
)

⇒ 1 - r = 3r
⇒ r= 1

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)
−−−−− −−−−−

∴ (f + g)(x) = √x + 1 + √9 − x

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

Formula used : P(A and B¯

P(A and B ¯

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=

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

Here m= 0 and n = 0, a = 7, b = 24, c = -50

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)]

⇒ 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

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}

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

Section E
36. i. n(A × A) = 9
⇒ n(A) ⊂ n(A) = 9 ⇒ n(A) = 3

(-1,0) ∈ A × A ⇒ -1 ∈ A, 0 ∈ A
(0,1) ∈ A × A ⇒ 0 ∈ A, 1 ∈ A
⇒ -1, 0, 1 ∈ A

Also, n(A) = 3 ⇒ A = (-1, 0, 1)

Hence, A = {-1, 0, 1}
Also, A × A = {-1, 0, 1} × {-1, 0, 1}
= {(-1, -1), (-1, 0), (-1, 1), (0, -1), (0, 0), (0, 1), (1, -1), (1, 0), (1, 1)}
Hence, the remaining elements of A × A are
(-1, -1), (-1, 1), (0, -1), (0, 0), (1, -1), (1, 0) and (1, 1).
ii. Given, (A × B) = 6 and (A × B) = {(1, 3), (2, 5), (3, 3)}
We know that Cartesian product of set A = {a, b} & B = {c, d} is A × B = {(a, c), (a, d), (b, c), (b, d)}
Therefore, A = {1, 2, 3} & B = {3, 5}
⇒ A × B = {(1, 3), (1, 5), (2, 3), (2, 5), (3, 3), (3, 5)}

Thus, remaining elements are A × B = {(1, 5), (2, 3), (3, 5)}

 iii. If the set A has 3 elements and set B has 4 elements, then the number of elements in A × B = 12
OR
Clearly, A is the set of all first entries in ordered pairs in A × B and B is the set of all second entries in ordered pairs in A × B
∴ A = {a, b} and B = {1, 2, 3}

⇒ 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,

6.
(d) four points
Explanation: From A, x2 + y2 = 25 and from B, x2 + 9y2 = 144
∴ From B, (x2 + y2) + 8y2 = 144
⇒ 25 + 8y2 = 144

Thus, the variance of the new observations is same as that of the original observations.
Reason: We may note that adding (or subtracting) a positive number to (or from) each observation of a group does not affect
the variance.

{2, 3} = B, then A = {1, B}
∴ P(A) = {ϕ , {1}, {B}, {1, B}}

⇒ P(A) = {ϕ , ,{1}, {{2, 3}}, {1, {2, 3}}}.

25. Let the coordinates of Q be (a, b), which lies on the parabola.

Let P(h, k) be the mid-point of OQ.
Now,we have

h= 2
and k = 2

⇒ a = 2h and b = 2k
Substituting a = 2h and b = 2k in equation (i), we obtain

Therefore, the required locus of the mid-point of OQ is 2y2 = x.

(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.

22. To find: Differentiation of (x2 – 4x + 5) (x3 – 2)
Formula used: (i) (uv)′ = u′v + uv′ (Using Leibnitz or product rule)

Let u = (x2 – 4x + 5) and v = (x3 – 2)

Put the above obtained values in the formula:-

(uv)′ = u′v + uv′
[(x2 – 4x + 5) (x3 – 2)]’ = (2x – 4)×(x3 – 2) + (x2 – 4x + 5)×(3x2)
= 2x4 – 4x - 4x3 + 8 + 3x4 – 12x3 + 15x2
= 5x4 - 16x3 + 15x2 – 4x + 8.
23. i. We know that,
a
If odds in favor of the occurrence an event are a:b, then the probability of an event to occur is a+b

Given, probability = 5

14

We know, probability of an event to occur = a

a+b

Here,a = 5 and a + b = 14 i.e. b = 9

So, =
a+b
a

14
5

odds in favor of its occurrence = a : b = 5 : 9

Conclusion: Odds in favor of its occurrence is 5: 9
ii. As we solved in part (i), a = 5 and b = 9
Also, we know, odds against its occurrence is b: a = 9: 5
Conclusion: Odds against its occurrence is 9 : 5
OR
We have given that: P(A) = 0.60, P(A or B) = 0.85 and P(A and B) = 0.42
To find : P(B)
Formula used : P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)
Substituting the values in the above formula we get,
0.85 = 0.60 + P(B) - 0.42
0.85 = 0.18 + P(B)
0.85 - 0.18 = P(B)
0.67 = P(B)
P(B) = 0.67
24. We have, B = {x : x 2
+ 2x + 1 = 0, x ∈ N ]
Now, x 2
+ 2x + 1 = 0

2
⇒(x + 1) = 0

⇒ x = −1 which is not a natural number.

Thus, B = {} = ϕ
Hence, B is not a singleton set.

2 2 2 2
⇒ √(−4 − 0) + (3 − y ) = √(5 − 0) + (2 − y )

Squaring both sides, we obtain

⇒ (-4 – 0)2 + (3 – y)2 = (5 – 0)2 + (2 – y)2
⇒ 16 + 9 – 6y + y2 = 25 + 4 – 4y + y2
⇒ 25 – 6y = 29 – 4y

Page 10 of 16
 ⇒ 2y = -4
⇒ y = -2

Thus, the required point on the y-axis is (0, -2).

 ⇒ 16x - 27 < 12x + 9 [multiplying both sides by 12]
⇒ 16x - 27 + 27 < 12x + 9 + 27 [adding 27 on both sides]

⇒ 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−1 7x+2 14x−2−7x−2

⇒ 7x > 6x + 4

⇒ 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)
