Section A
1. (b) { }
Explanation: Here value of x is not possible so A is a null set.
2. (c) [0, 4]
Explanation: Here, 4x - x2 ≥ 0
2
x − 4x ≤ 0

x(x - 4) ≤ 0
So, x ∈ [0, 4]
3. (a) 10
Explanation: z = (3i - 1)2 =  (9i2 + 1 - 6i) = (-9 + 1 - 6i) = (-8 - 6i)
⇒ |z|2 = {(-8)2 + (-6)2} = (64 + 36) = 100
− −−
⇒ |z| = √100 = 10

4. (d) mn
Explanation: Let a be the first term, d be the common difference and n be the number of terms of the A.P.
n n−1
Then we have Sn =  [2a + (n − 1)d]  = n [a + d]  ....(i)
2 2

n−1
As n is odd   will give the number of terms just before the middle term.
2
n−1
Hence a + d  will give the middle term, but given middle term is m.
2
n−1
Hence we get m = a + 2
d .... (ii)
Now from (i) and (ii) we get Sn = nm

5. (a) 90°
Explanation: Let m1 and m2 be the slope of the lines 2x - y + 3 = 0 and x + 2y + 3 = 0, respectively.
Let θ  be the angle between them.
Here,
1
m1 = 2 and m2 = -  2
∴  m1m2 = -1
Therefore, the angle between the given lines is 90° , as it satisfy the condition of product of slopes of two
lines is -1.

8. (b) {3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 21, 24, 27} 

Explanation: Since set B represent multiple of 5 so from Set A common multiple of 3 and 5 are excluded.
9. (c) [1, 6]
Explanation: For f(x) to be real, we must have,
x − 1 ⩾ 0 and 6 − x ⩾ 0 

⇒ x ⩾ φ and x − 6 ⩽ 6 

∴  Domain = [1, 6]
10. (d) 0
Explanation: 0
1+2i
Let z = 2
1−(1−i)

1+2i
⇒ z = 2
1−(1+i −2i)

1+2i
⇒ z =
1−(1−1−2i)

1+2i
⇒ z =
1+2i

⇒  z = 1
Since point (1, 0) lies on the positive direction of real axis, we have:
arg (z) = 0
11. (a) 486
Explanation: Given T4 = 54 and T9 = 13122.

∴  ar3 = 54 and ar8  = 13122

8
ar 13122 5
⇒ 3
=

= 243 ⇒ r
5
= 3  ⇒ r = 3
ar

∴  a ×  3
3 = 54 ⇒ a = 
54
 = 2
27

Therefore, a = 2 and r = 3.
∴  T6 = ar5 = (2 × 35) = (2 × 243) = 486.
Therefore, the required 6th term is 486.
5 −5
12. (d) ( , )
2 2

Explanation: Equation of the line which is perpendicular to the given line is x - y + k = 0

Since this line passes through (2, -3)
2-(-3) + k = 0
This implies k = -5
Hence the equation og the line is x - y = 5
5 −5
On solving the lines x + y = 0 and x - y = 5, we get the point of intersection as x = and y =
2 2
5 −5
Hence ( 2 , 2
) is the coordinates of orthogonal projection.

16. (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)}.
17. (a) 0
Explanation: To find the amplitude of a complex number Z = x + iy first find a value of θ  which satisfy the
y
Π
equation θ = tan
−1
∣
∣ x
∣, 0 ≤ θ ≤
∣ 2
 
Now depending on the complex number lies in the first, second, third or fourth quadrants the amplitudes
will be θ, (Π − θ) , − (Π − θ) , − (θ) respectively.
Given z is purely real and Re (z) > 0
∴  Z = x + 0i, x > 0

 = tan-1 0 = 0
y 0
Now tan−1 ∣∣ x ∣∣ = tan
−1
∣
∣ 1
∣
∣

Also Z = x + 0i, x > 0 lies in the first quadrant 

Hence Amp(Z) = 0
18. (c) 0
Explanation: Given a, b, c, d, e are in A.P
Let D be the common difference of the A.P
Then we have b = a + D
c = b + D = a + 2D
d = c + D = a + 3D
e = d + D = a + 4D
Hence a - 4b + 6c - 4d + e = a - 4(a + D) + 6(a + 2D) - 4(a + 3D) + a + 4D = 0
|c1 −c2 |
19. (c)
√1+m2

Explanation: Here, it is given the equation of lines 

y = mx + c1 …(i)
and y = mx + c2 …(ii)
Firstly, we find the slope of eq. (i) and (ii)
Since, both the equations have the same slope i.e. m
Therefore, they are parallel lines.
We know that, distance between two parallel lines
Ax + By + C1 = 0 and Ax + By + C2 = 0 is

22. (d) C - D = E
Explanation: C - D = {a, b, c} - {c, d} = {a, b}
But E = {d}
Hence C - D ≠  E
23. (d) Domain = R, Range = (−∞, 2]
Explanation: We have, f(x) = 2 − |x − 5|
Clearly, f(x) is defined for all x∈ R
∴  Domain of f = R

Now, |x − 5| ≥ 0, ∀x ∈ R
⇒ −|x − 5| ≤ 0

⇒ 2 − |x − 5| ≤ 2

∴ f (x) ≤ 2

∴  Range of f = (−∞, 2]

24. (d) p = y, q = x
Explanation: (x + iy)(p + iq) = (x2 + y2)i 
⇒  (xp - yq) + i(xq + yp) = (x2 + y2)i 
⇒  xp - yp = 0 and xq = + yp = x2 + y2 
 ....(i) and xq + yp = x2 + y2 ...(ii)
yq
⇒  p =  x

Substituting (i) in (ii), we get 

 = x2 + y2 ⇒ x2q + y2q = x(x2 + y2)
yq
xq + y ( x
)

⇒  q(x2 + y2) = x(x2 + y2) ⇒ q = x

Now from (i), we get p = y

25. (d) 1 7
Explanation: Given, S7 = 10 and S14 = 27.

∴ ⋅ (2a + 6d) = 10  and  ⋅ (2a + 13d) = 27
2 2

⇒ a + 3d =  ..(i) and 2a + 13d =  ..(ii),

Solving(i) and(ii) ,we get

⇒ d =

31. (c) 6
Explanation: Given that: Sn denote the sum of first n terms
and S2n = 3Sn
Now we have to find: S3n : Sn
Now, we know that
n
Sn = [2a + (n − 1)d]
2
2n
 
∴ S2n =
2
[2a + (2n − 1)d]
2n
∴ S2n = [2a + (2n − 1)d]
2

S2n = n[2a + (2n – 1)d]

As per the given condition of the question, we have
S2n = 3Sn
n
n[2a + (2n − 1)d] = 3 [ [2a + (n − 1)d]]
2
 3n
⇒ 2an + nd(2n − 1) = [2a + (n − 1)d]
2

⇒ 4an + 2nd(2n – 1) = 6an + 3nd(n – 1)

⇒ 2nd(2n – 1) – 3nd(n – 1) = 6an – 4an
⇒ 4n2d – 2nd – 3n2d + 3nd = 2an
⇒ nd + n2d = 2an
⇒ nd(1 + n) = 2an
⇒ d(n + 1) = 2a …(i)
Now, we have to find S3n:Sn
Therefore,
3n
[2a+(3n−1)d]
S3n 2
= n
Sn [2a+(n−1)d]
2
3n
[(n+1)d+(3n−1)d]

⇒ = n
Sn [(n+1)d+(n−1)d]

S3n 3[nd+d+3nd−d]
⇒ =

S3n 3[4nd]
⇒ =

S3n
⇒ = 6

Therefore,the correct option is 6.

σ = 2.87
Hence the Standard deviations for first 10 natural numbers is 2.87
34. (d) None of these
Explanation: Two complex numbers cannot be compared
35. (c) 2
Explanation: Suppose the two numbers be a and b.
a, x and b are in A.P.
∴  2x = a + b ...(i)

Also, a, y, z and b are in G.P.

36. (a) 290
Explanation: We have,total number of persons are 840
Persons who read Hindi and English are 450 and 300 respectively
Persons who read both are 200
Now to find: number of persons who read neither
Suppose U be the total number of persons, H and E be the number of persons who read Hindi and English
respectively
n(U) = 840, n(H) = 450, n(E) = 300, n(H ∩ E) = 200
Number of persons who read either of them
n(H ∪ E)= n(H) + n(E) – n(H ∩ E)
= 450 + 300 – 200 = 550
Number of persons who read neither,we have
= Total – n(H ∪ E)
= 840 – 550 = 290
Therefore, there are 290 persons who read neither Hindi nor English.

(x - (1 - √3)) (x - (-1 + √3)) ≤ 0

x ∈ [−1 − √3, −1 + √3]

38. (c) None of these

– –
Explanation: Given expression = (! - i)(1+ i)(5 - √7i )(5 + √7i )
= (1 - i2)(25- 7i2) = (1 + 1)(25 + 7) = (2× 32) = 64
39. (c) 10th
Explanation: Let Tn < 0 . Then, {a + (n - 1) d} < 0, where a = 40 and d = -5
∴ {40 + (n-1) ×  (-5)} < 0 ⇒ 45 < 5n ⇒ 5n > 45 ⇒ n > 9
∴  10th term is the first negative term.
40. (a) 2310
Explanation: Here, a + d = 2 and a + 6d = 22.
On solving, we obtain d = 4 and a = -2.

∴ S35 = ⋅ [2a + 34d] = ⋅ [2 × (−2) + 34 × 4]

Section C
41. (b) 45
Explanation: Let U denote the set of students of the class and let M and P denote the sets of students who
passed in mathematics and physics respectively. Then
n(U) = 100, n(M) = 55 and n(P) = 67
Since all the students have passed in any of these subjects, we have 
n(U) = 100 ⇒ n(M ∪  P) = 100
Now we have, n(M ∪  P) = n(M) + n(P) - n(M ∩  P)
⇒ 100 = 55 + 67 - n(M ∩  P)

⇒ n(M ∩  P) = 122 - 100 = 22

 Which means the number of students who passed in both the subjects = 22
Hence the number of students who passed only in physics = n(P) - n(M ∩  P) = 67 - 22 = 45
