¯
¯¯
⇒ log 0.0007392 = 4 .8687
⇒ mantissa of digits 7392 = 0.8687

∴ log 73.92 = 1.8687 (∵ Characteristic of log 73.92 = 1)

8.
(d) x2 + y2 ± 6x ± 8y = 0
Explanation: Given that we need to find the equation of the circle passing through the origin and cuts off intercepts 6 and 8
from x and y - axes
Since the circle is having intercept a from x-axis the circle must pass through (6, 0) and (- 6, 0) as it already passes through the
origin.
Since the circle is having intercept 8 from y-axis the circle must pass through (0, 8) and (0, - 8) as it already passes through the
origin.
Let us assume the circle passing through the points O(0, 0), A(6, 0) and B(0, 8).
We know that the standard form of the equation of the circle is given by:
⇒ x2 + y2 + 2fx + 2gy + c = 0 ...(1)

Page 6 of 15
 Substituting O(0, 0) in (1), we get,
⇒ 02 + 02 + 2f(0) + 2g(0) + c = 0
⇒ c = 0 ...(2)

Substituting A(6, 0) in (1), we get,

⇒ 62 + 02 + 2f(6) + 2g(0) + c = 0
⇒ 36 + 12f + c = 0 ...(3)

Substituting B(0, 8) in (1), we get,

⇒ 02 + 82 + 2f(0) + 2g(8) + c = 0
⇒ 64 + 16g + c = 0 ...(4)
On solving (2), (3) and (4) we get,
⇒ f = - 3, b = - 4 and c = 0

Substituting these values in (1), we get

⇒ x + y2 + 2(- 3)x + 2(- 4)y + 0 = 0
⇒ x2 + y2 - 6x - 8y = 0
Similarly, we get the equation x2 + y2 + 6x + 8y = 0 for the circle passing through the points (0, 0), (- 6, 0), (0, - 8),
x2 + y2 - 6x + 8y = 0 for the circle passing through the points (0, 0), (6, 0), (0, - 8) .
∴ The equations of the circles are x2 + y2 ± 6x ± 8y = 0

(b) 24

Explanation: Total number of ways of placing four letters in 4 envelops = 4! = 24

All the letters can be dispatched in the right envelops in only one way. Therefore, the probability that all the letters are placed
in the right envelops is 1

24
23
Hence, probability that all the letters are not placed in the right envelops = 1 - 1

24
= 24

16. (a) 2
Explanation: Amount = ₹(30,000 + 4347) = ₹ 34347
Let the time be n years.
Then, using formula of compound interest An = P(1 + i)n

Page 7 of 15
 Here, An = 34347, i = 100

= 0.04 and P = 30,000

∴ 34347 = 30,000 (1 + 0.07)n

22. Suppose x be some element in set A - B that is x ∈ (A - B)
Now if we prove that x ∈ (A ∩ B’) then (A - B) = (A ∩ B’)

Page 8 of 15
 x ∈ (A - B) means x ∈ A and x ∉ B
Now x ∉ B means x ∈ B’
Therefore, we can say that x ∈ A and x ∈ B’
Thus x ∈ A ∩ B.’
And as x ∈ A ∩ B’ and also x ∈ A - B we can conclude that
A - B = A ∩ B’
OR
Given: n(A) = 37
n(B) = 26
n(A ∪ B) = 51
To Find: n(A ∩ B)
We know that,
|A ∪ B| = |A| + |B| - |A ∩ B| (where A and B are two finite sets)
Thus,we have
n(A ∪ B) = n(A) + n(B) – n(A ∩ B)
51 = 37 + 26 - n(A ∩ B)
n(A ∩ B) = 63 - 51 = 12
Thus,
n(A ∩ B) = 12

27. The given equation of the line is
x + 3y - 7

⇒ y = − x +
3 3

∴ Slope of the line, m1 = − 1

Let m2 be the slope of the perpendicular line.

∴ m1m2 = -1
⇒ −

3
× m2 = -1
⇒ m2 = 3
∴ Equation of the perpendicular line with slope 3 and passing through (3, 8) is

Page 10 of 15
 y - 8 = 3 (x - 3)
⇒ 3x - y - 1 = 0

∴ The foot of perpendicular is the point of intersection of the lines x + 3y - 7 = 0 and 3x - y - 1 = 0.

Solving these equations, we get

x = 1, y = 2, So (1, 2) is the foot of the perpendicular.
28. i. f is not a function because the element 1 of A does not appear as the first component of ordered pairs of f, so 1 has no image in
A.
ii. g is not a function because the different pairs (1, 2) and (1, 3) of g have the same first component i.e. the element 1 of A has
two different images in A.
iii. h is a function because each element of A has a unique image in A.
Domain of h = {1, 2, 3} = A and range of h = {3, 1, 2} = A.
iv. s is a function because each element of A has a unique image in A.
Domain of s = {1, 2, 3} = A and range of s = {2, 1}.
29. Divide ₹ 21866 into two parts such that the amount of one in 3 years is same as the amount of the second in 5 years, the rate of
compound interest being 5% per annum.
Divide Rs. 21866 into two parts such that the amount of one part in 3 years is the same as the amount of the second part in 5
years.
Let, First part ( That put for 3 years ) = x
So, Second part ( That put for 5 years ) = 21866 - x
We know the formula for compound interest:

A = P (1 + )

So from the given condition, we get,

x(1 + ) = (21866 − x)(1 + )

21866×441
x =

x = 11466
Therefore,
The first part (That put for 3 years) = ₹11466
So, the second part (That put for 5 years) = 21866 - 11466 = ₹​​10400

⇒ log P = log 1505 + log 107 + log 108 + log 106 - log 104

35. 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 α with the line whose slope is m.
⟹ y - y1 = m±tan α

1∓m tan α
(x - x1)...(i)
Here,we have
x = 1, y = 2, α = 60°, m = -1,substituting in (i)
1 1

Therefore, the equations of the required sides are

∘ ∘
−1+tan 60 −1−tan 60
⟹ y-2= 1+tan 60
∘
(x - 1) and y - 2 = 1−tan 60

⇒ y-2= (x - 1) and y - 2 = (x - 1)

⇒ y - 2 = (2 - ) (x - 1) and y - 2 = (2 + √3) (x - 1)

Solving x + y = 0 and y - 2 = (2 - √3) (x - 1), we obtain

From different media we see lots of beautiful structural work. In case of bridges we see the bridges supported by parabolic shape
support.

A beam is supported at its ends by supports which are 24 metres apart. As the load is concentrated at the centre, there is a
deflection of 6 m at the centre and deflected beam is in the shape of parabola.
(i) Point Q(12, 6) lies on parabola x2 = 4ay

∴ (12)2 = 4a × 6 ⇒ a = 12×12

6×4
=6
∴ Equation is x2 = 4 × 6 × y ⇒ x2 = 24y
(ii) Equation of directrix is y + 6 = 0
⇒ y + 6 = 0

(iii)Point (x, 4) lies on parabola

x2 = 24 × 4 ⇒ x2 = 96 ⇒ x = 4√6m
