🔑 Show Answer Key — Set 1
  1. 1. (1) T is an equivalence relation but S Is not an equivalence relation Explanation: (0, 1), (1, 2) it is not an equivalence relation T is an equivalence relation
  2. 2. (4) sec θ = \(\frac{1}{4}\) Explaination: We know |cos θ| < 1 sec θ = \(\frac{1}{4}\) ⇒ \(\frac{1}{\cos \theta}\) = \(\frac{1}{4}\) ⇒ cos θ = 4 which is not possible.
  3. 3. (3) P(A/B) ≥ P(A) Explaination: Given A and B are two events such that A ⊆ B and P(B) ≠ 0 then P(A/B) ≥ P(A)
  4. 4. (3) (1, 2) Explaination: The point that satisfies the given equations (0, 0) ⇒ 17 ≠ 0 (-2, 3) ⇒ 3 (4) + 3 (9) + 16 – 36 + 17 ≠ 0 (1, 2) ⇒ 3 + 3 (4) – 8 (1) – 12 (2) + 17 32 – 32 = 0, 0 = 0

  6. 6. (i) What is the maximum number of different answers can the students give? Selecting a correct answer from the 4 answers can be done in 4 ways. Total number of questions = 5 So they can be answered in 45 ways (ii) How will the answer change if each question may have more than one correct answers? Since each question may have more than one correct answer, each question can have the possibilities 1, 2, 3 or 4 correct answers. ∴ Number of ways of answering each question = 4C 1 + 4C 2 + 4C 3 + 4C 4 = 4 + 6 + 4 + 1 = 15 Thus, the answer will change as 15 5 (i.e, Total number of ways of answering five questions).
  7. 7. P(A) = 0.15, P(B) = 0.30, P(C) = 0.43, P(D) = 0.12 Now P(A) + P(B) + P(C) + P(D) = 0.15 + 0.30 + 0.43 + 0.12 = 1 0.15 + 0.30 + 0.43 + 0.12 = 1 ∴ The assignment of probability is permissible. (ii) P (A) = 0.22, P (B) = 0.38, P (C) = 0.16, P (D) = 0.34 Given that P (A) = 0.22 ≥ 0, P (B) = 0.38 ≥ 0, P(C) = 0.16 ≥ 0, P (D) = 0.34 ≥ 0 P(S) = P (A) + P(B) + P(C) + P(D) = 0.22 + 0.38 + 0.16 + 0.34 = 1.1 > 1 Therefore the assignment of probability isn’t permissible (iii) P(A) = \(\frac{2}{5}\), P(B) = \(\frac{3}{5}\), P(C) = – \(\frac{1}{5}\), P(D) = \(\frac{1}{5}\) P(A) = \(\frac{2}{5}\), P(B) = \(\frac{3}{5}\), P(C) = \(-\frac{1}{5}\), P(D) = \(\frac{1}{5}\) P(C) = \(-\frac{1}{5}\) which is not possible (i.e.) for any event A, (0 ≤ P(A) ≤ 1) ∴ The assignment of probability is not permissible.
  8. 8. (2) AB is a symmetric matrix Explaination: Given A and B are two symmetric matrices of the same order. A = A T, B = B T (1)(A+B) T = A T + B T = A + B A + B is symmetric. (2) (AB) T = B T A T BA Thus (AB) T ≠ AB Hence, AB is not symmetric. (3) AB = (BA) T = A T B T = AB Statement is true. (4) A T B = AB T Since A T = A B = B T Statement is true.

The given quadratic equation is ax 2 + bx + c = 0 ——- (1) Let α and β be the roots of the equation (1) then Sum of the roots α + β = ——- (2) Product of the roots αβ = ——- (3) (a) Given one root is the negative of the other β = – α (2) ⇒ α + (-α) = – \(\frac{b}{a}\) 0 = – \(\frac{b}{a}\) ⇒ b = 0 (3) ⇒ α(-α) = \(\frac{c}{a}\) – α 2 = \(\frac{c}{a}\) Hence the required condition is b = 0 (b) Given that one root is thrice the other β = 3α When is the required condition? (c) One root is reciprocal of the other When is the required condition?
  10. 10. Given P(A) = 0.5, P(B) = 0.8 and P(B/A) = 0.8 P(A ∩ B) = P(B/A) P(A) Substituting in equation (1) we get P(A/B) = 0.5 P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B) ………. (2) P(A ∩ B) = P(A/B). P(B) = 0.5 × 0.8 P(A ∩ B) = 0.40 (2) ⇒ P(A ∪ B) = 0.5 + 0.8 – 0.40 = 1.3 – 0.40 P(A ∪ B) = 0.90

(c) To find the actual length of the spring, put weight x = 0 in equation (1) 0 – 2y + 4 = 0 ⇒ 2y = 4 ⇒ y = 2 ∴ The actual length of the spring is 2 cm. (d) If the spring stretch to 9 cm long, To find the required weight, put y = 9, in equation (1) (1) ⇒ x – 2 (9) + 4 = 0 x – 18 +4 = 0 ⇒ x = 14 Weight to be added is 14 kg. (e) Next we find the length of the string when a weight of 6 kg is added. Put x = 6 in equation (1) 6 – 2y + 4 = 0 ⇒ 2y = 10 ⇒ y = 5cm ∴ Required length is 5 cm.

🔑 Show Answer Key — Set 2
  1. 1. (2) P(A ∩ B̅) + P(A̅ ∩ B) Explaination: Let A and B be an two events The probability that exactly one of them occur is = P(A ∩ B̅) + P(A̅ ∩ B)
  2. 2. (4) Range of R is {0, -1, 1} Explaination: A= {0, -1, 1, 2} |x 2 + y 2 | ≤ 2 The values of x and y can be 0, -1 or 1 So range = {0, -1, 1}
  3. 3. (1) f(x) is not differentiable at x = a Explaination: f’ (a + ) = 3 ………. (2) From equations (1) and (2) we get f'(a – ) ≠ f'(a + ) ∴ f’ (x) does not exist at x = a ∴ f(x) is not differentiable at x = a

  5. 5. (4) AA T Explaination: Given A is a square matrix. A square matrix A is symmetric if A T = A (1) A + A T (A + A T ) T = A T + (A T ) T = A T + A = A + A T ∴ A + A T is symmetric. (2) AA T (AA T ) T = (A T ) T A T = AA T ∴ AA T is symmetric. (3) A T A (A T A) T = A T (A T ) T = A T A ∴ A T A is symmetric. (4) A – A T (A – A T ) T = A T – (A T ) T = A T A ∴ A – A T is not symmetric.
  6. 6. (4) y 2 = 4ax Explaination: y 2 = 4ax ⇒ Equation that satisfies the given point (at 2, 2at)

  12. 12. (i) What is the maximum number of different answers can the students give? Selecting a correct answer from the 4 answers can be done in 4 ways. Total number of questions = 5 So they can be answered in 45 ways (ii) How will the answer change if each question may have more than one correct answers? Since each question may have more than one correct answer, each question can have the possibilities 1, 2, 3 or 4 correct answers. ∴ Number of ways of answering each question = 4C 1 + 4C 2 + 4C 3 + 4C 4 = 4 + 6 + 4 + 1 = 15 Thus, the answer will change as 15 5 (i.e, Total number of ways of answering five questions).
  13. 13. P(A) = 0.15, P(B) = 0.30, P(C) = 0.43, P(D) = 0.12 Now P(A) + P(B) + P(C) + P(D) = 0.15 + 0.30 + 0.43 + 0.12 = 1 0.15 + 0.30 + 0.43 + 0.12 = 1 ∴ The assignment of probability is permissible. (ii) P (A) = 0.22, P (B) = 0.38, P (C) = 0.16, P (D) = 0.34 Given that P (A) = 0.22 ≥ 0, P (B) = 0.38 ≥ 0, P(C) = 0.16 ≥ 0, P (D) = 0.34 ≥ 0 P(S) = P (A) + P(B) + P(C) + P(D) = 0.22 + 0.38 + 0.16 + 0.34 = 1.1 > 1 Therefore the assignment of probability isn’t permissible (iii) P(A) = \(\frac{2}{5}\), P(B) = \(\frac{3}{5}\), P(C) = – \(\frac{1}{5}\), P(D) = \(\frac{1}{5}\) P(A) = \(\frac{2}{5}\), P(B) = \(\frac{3}{5}\), P(C) = \(-\frac{1}{5}\), P(D) = \(\frac{1}{5}\) P(C) = \(-\frac{1}{5}\) which is not possible (i.e.) for any event A, (0 ≤ P(A) ≤ 1) ∴ The assignment of probability is not permissible.

(2) (AB) T = B T A T BA Thus (AB) T ≠ AB Hence, AB is not symmetric. (3) AB = (BA) T = A T B T = AB Statement is true. (4) A T B = AB T Since A T = A B = B T Statement is true.
