Explanation: Given P(A' ∩ B') = 1

2
, P(A' ∩ B') = 1

3
, P(A) = p, P(B') = 2p
Now, P(A' ∩ B') = (A ∪ B)' = 1 - (A ∪ B) = 1

∴ P(A ∪ B) = 1 - 1

3
=
2

⇒ P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B) = 2

⇒ p + 2p - 1

Explanation: There are five most commonly used measures of dispersion. These are range, variance, standard deviation, mean
deviation and quartile deviation.
3.
(b) 10%
Explanation: ₹ 1250 is the interest of first year and ₹ 1375 is the interest in second year. Here, the difference is of ₹ 125 which
is the interest obtained ₹ 1250.
Let rate be r %
1250×r×1
∴ = 125
100

⇒ r =
125×100

1250
= 10 .

 7.
(d) 132
1

Explanation: If all the girls sit together, then consider it as 1 group.

Total number of persons = 6 + 1 = 7 persons

∴ Total number of arrangements in a row of 7 persons = 7!
and the girls interchanges their seats in 6! ways.
Required Probability = Number of favourable outcome

Total number of outcomes

6!7!
∴ Required probability = 12!
6×5×4×3×2×1×7!
=
12×11×10×9×8×7!
6×5×4×3×2
=
12×11×10×9×8

1
=
132

Hence, the correct option

8. (a) 3x2 + 3y2 - 13y = 0

Explanation: Given that the circle with centre lies on the y-axis and passing through the origin.
General equation of the circle is
(x - 0)2 + (y - k)2 = k2
It passes through (2, 3)
i.e. 22 + (3 - k)2 = k2
⇒ 4 + 9 + k2 - 6k = k2
13
⇒ k =
6

Therefore, the required equation of the circle is

2 2
2 13 13
x + (y − ) = ( )
6 6

⇒ 3x2 + 3y2 - 13y = 0

3x2 + 3y2 - 13y = 0
9.
(d) 5
Explanation: In a century, we have 24 leap years and 76 non-leap years, so number of odd days
= 2 × 24 + 1 × 76 = 48 + 76 = 124
= 7 × 17 + 5 = 5 odd days
10.
(b) 2.57
Explanation: Given data is 3, 10, 10, 4, 7, 10, 5. They are total 7.
3+10+10+4+7+10+5
Here mean, x = ¯¯
¯

7
=

7
=7
This can be written in table form as,
Data (xi) di = |xi - x̄ |

3 = |3 - 7| = 4

10 = |10 - 7| = 3

10 = |10 - 7| = 3

4 = |4 - 7| = 3

7 = |7 - 7| = 0

10 = |10 - 7| = 3

Page 7 of 15
 5 = |5 - 7| = 2

Total Σ di = 18

Hence Mean Deviation becomes,

∑ di
M.D = 7
=
18

7
= 2.57
Therefore, the mean deviation about the mean of the distribution is 2.57

(b) ₹ 624
6
Explanation: Given, P = 5200, n = 2, i = 6% = 100
= 0.06
I = Pit
∴ I = 5200 × 0.06 × 2

or, I = 624.
13.
(c) 360
Explanation: The word CONSTANT consists of two vowels that are placed at the 2nd and 6th position, and six consonants.
The two vowels can be arranged at their respective places, i.e. 2nd and 6th place, in 2! ways.
The remaining 6 consonants can be arranged at their respective places in ways. 2!2!
6!

∴ Total number of arrangements = 360

1−(1.1)
∴ Present value = ₹ 3993 [ 0.1

= ₹ 39930[1 - 0.7513] = ₹ 9930.

(b) {1, 2}

Page 8 of 15
 Explanation: Since the domain is represented by the x- coordinate of the ordered pair (x, y). Therefore, the domain of the
given relation is { 1, 2 }.
19.
(c) A is true but R is false.
Explanation: The data values in ascending order are 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11.
Here, total number of observations (n) = 6, which is even.
6 6
( ) th observation +( +1) th observation

So, median=

∴ R is false.
Now, mean deviation about median

M.D. =

5+3+1+1+3+5
= = 3

∴ A is true.
20.
(c) A is true but R is false.
Explanation: We know that for positive numbers A.M. ≥ G.M.
a+b+c 3 −−−− −
⇒ ≥ √a ⋅ b ⋅ c
3
a+b+c 3 −−
⇒ ≥ √27 ⇒ a + b + c ≥ 3 × 3
3

⇒ a+b+c≥9
∴ Minimum value of a + b + c is 9.

∴ A is true. R is false.

Section B
21. Average of 150 students = 25
∴ Total of 150 students = 150 × 25 = 3750 ....(i)

Let number of passed students be x

∴ Average of x students = 40

∴ Total of x students = 40x ....(ii)

Average of (150 - x) students = 15

∴ Total of (150 -x) students = (150 -x) × 15 ....(iii)

From (0, (ii) and (iii), we get

40x + (150 -x)15 = 3750
⇒ 40x + 2250 - 15x = 3750 ⇒ 25x = 1500 ⇒ x = 60

∴ Passed students = 60

22. Let U = set of all students surveyed;

A = set of all students who drink apple juice and B = set of all students who drink orange juice.
Then, we know that n(U) = 425, n(A) = 115, n(B) = 160 and n(A ∩ B) = 80.
∴ . We have, n(A ∪ B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A ∩ B) = (115 + 160 - 80) = 195.

Set of students who drink neither apple juice nor orange juice = (A' ∩ B') = (A ∪ B)'
⇒ n{(A ∪ B)'} = n(U) - n(A ∪ B) = (425 - 195) = 230.

Therefore, 230 students drink neither apple juice nor orange juice.
OR
A ∩ B = {x : x = 2n, n ∈ Z} ∩ {x : x = 3n, n ∈ Z}
= {...-6, -4, -2, 0, 2, 4, 6...} ∩ {..., -9 - 6, -3, 0, 3, 6, 9,...}
= {..., -6, 0, 6, 12,...}
= {x : x = 6n, n ∈ Z}
1 1
23. Work done by A in 10 days = 80
× 10 = 8

Remaining work = (1 − 1

8
) = 7

Now, 7

8
work is done by B in 42 days
Whole work will be done by B in (42 × 8

7
) = 48 days

Page 9 of 15
 ∴ A's 1 day's work = 1

80
and B's 1 days' work = 48
1

∴ (A + B)'s 1 days' work = 1

80
+

48
= 8

240

Hence, both will finish the work in 30 days.

−
and √x y = 12 ⇒ xy = 144 ...(ii)
From (i) and (ii)
x(26 - x) = 144 ⇒ 26x - x2 = 144
⇒ x2 - 26x + 144 = 0
⇒ (x - 18)(x - 8) = 0

⇒ x -18 = 0 or x - 8 = 0

⇒ x = 18 or 8

Let 'A' be the event that the chosen student studies in class XII and B be the event that the chosen student is a girl.

∴ Slope, m1 = 1

Let 'm2' be the slope of a line AB which passes through (3, 2).

Since the angle between the two line is 60o

students read physics while 11 students read chemistry. 5 students read both mathematics and chemistry, 9 students read physics
and mathematics. 4 students read physics and chemistry and 3 students read all three subject books.
