−−−−−
Explanation: We have, f(x) = √x − 1
Clearly, f(x) is defined if x − 1 ≥ 0
⇒ x ≥ 1

∴ Domain of f = [1, ∞)
Now for x ≥ 1, x − 1 ≥ 0

(b) x - 3y + 4 = 0
Explanation: The equation of the sides AB, AC and CA of △ABC are y - x = 2, x + 2y = 1 and 3x + y + 5 = 0, respectively.
Solving the equations of AB and BC, i,e, y - x = 2 and x + 2y = 1, we get
x = -1, y = 1
So, the coordinates of B are (-1, 1)
∴ Slope of AC = -3

Thus, slope of the altitude through B is 1

Section B
21. Here we are given that , A and B are two non-empty sets such that n(A) = 5, n(B) = 6 and = 3
i. n(A × B) = n(A) × n(B) = (5 × 6) = 30
ii. n(B × A) = n(B) × n(A) = (6 × 5) = 30
iii. Given: n(A ∩ B) = 3
∴ A and B have 3 elements in common

So, (A × B) and (B × A) have 32 = 9 elements in common.

Hence, n{(A × B) ∩ (B × A)} = 9
OR
We know that two ordered pairs are equal if their corresponding elements are equal.
i. (2a − 5, 4) = (5, b + 6) ⇒ 2a − 5 = 5 and 4 = b + 6 [equating corresponding elements]
⇒ 2a = 5 + 5 and 4 − 6 = b

Page 8 of 18
 ⇒ 2a = 10 and −2 = b ⇒ a = 5 and b = −2

ii. (a − 3, b + 7) = (3, 7) ⇒ a - 3 = 3 and b + 7 = 7 [equating corresponding elements]

⇒ a = 3 + 3 and b = 7 - 7 ⇒ a = 6 and b = 0

23. We know that,
If odds in favour of the occurrence an event are a: b, then the probability of an event to occur is a

a+b
,
similarly, if odds are not in the favor of the occurrence an event are a: b, then the probability of not occurrence of the event is a

a+b
a
that is the probability of not occurring = a+b

We also know that,

Probability of occurring = 1 - the probability of not occurring
=1- a+b
a

b
= a+b

Given a = 4 and b = 7

Probability of occurrence = 4+7

OR
We have to find the probability that all the three balls are blue balls
Given: bag which contains 8 red, 3 white, 9 blue balls
Formula: P(E) = favourable outcomes

total possible outcomes

three balls are drawn at random therefore

Total possible outcomes of selecting two persons is 20C3

Therefore n(S) = 20C3 = 1140

let E be the event that all the balls are blue
E = {B, B, B}
n(E) = 9C3 = 84

24. We can write, (A ∩ B) ∪ (A - B) = (A ∩ B) ∪ (A ∩ B')

= X ∪ (A ∩ B'), where X = A ∩ B
= (X ∪ A ) ∩ (X ∪ B')
= A ∩ (A ∪ B') [∵ X ∪ A = (A ∩ B) ∪ A = A] [∵ A ∩ B ⊂ A]
=X ∪ B' = (A ∩ B) ∪ B'
⇒ (A ∪ B') ∩ (B ∪ B')

⇒ (A ∪ B') ∩ U = A ∪ B'

= A [∵ A ⊂ A ∪ B']
25. Let m be the slope of the required line.
Since the required line is perpendicular to the line joining A (2, -3) and B (4, 2).
2+3
∴ m × Slope of AB = - 1 ⇒ m × 4−2
= -1 ⇒ m = - 2

The required line cuts off an intercept of length 4 on y-axis. So, c = 4

Substituting these values in y = mx + c, we obtain that the equation of the required line is
y=- x+4 2

or, 2x+ 5y - 20 = 0
which is the required equation of line.

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

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

Now, shifting the origin to the point (1, 2) without rotating the axes and denoting new coordinates with respect to these axes by

Using these relations, equation (i) reduces to

This is of the form X2 = 4aY

Comparing, we get,
4a = 1 i,e, a = 1/4
Vertex: Coordinates of the vertex with respect to the new axes are (X = 0, Y = 0).
So, the coordinates of the vertex with respect to the old axes are (1, 2) [Put X = 0, Y = 0 in (ii)]
Axis: The equation of the axis of the parabola with respect to the new axes is X = 0
So, the equation of the axis with respect to the old axes is x = 1 [Put X = 0 in (ii)]

Thus, any value of x greater than 3 satisfies the inequality.

n(A × B) = pq.
(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}

Four friends Dinesh, Yuvraj, Sonu, and Rajeev are playing cards. Dinesh, shuffling a cards and told to Rajeev choose any four
cards.

(i) Total number of possible outcomes = 52

C4

We know that there are 12 face cards

∴ Number of favourable outcomes =
12
C4
12
C4
∴ Required probability = 52 C
4

(ii) Total number of possible outcomes = C 52

4

We know that there are 26 red and 26 black cards.

∴ Number of favourable outcomes =
26 26
C × C 2 2
2
26
( C2 )

∴ Required probability = 52

(iii)Total number of possible outcomes = 52

∴ Number of favourable outcomes = ( 13
C1 )

(13)
∴ Required probability = 52 C

OR
Total number of possible outcomes = C 52

In playing cards there are 4 king and 4 jack cards.

∵ Number of favourable outcomes = ( C × C )
4 4

= 6 × 6 = 36
∴ Required probability = 36

We have, i = √−1. So, we can write the higher powers of i as follows
i. i2 = -1
ii. i3 = i 2
⋅ i = (-1)⋅ i = -i
iii. i4 = (i2)2 = (-1)2 = 1
iv. i5 = i4+1 = i4⋅ i = 1⋅ i = i
v. i6 = i4+2 = i4⋅ i2 = 1⋅ i2 = -1...
In order to compute in for n > 4, write
in = i4q+r for some q, r ∈ N and 0 ≤ r ≤ 3. Then, in = i4q ⋅ ir
=(i4)q ⋅ ir = (1)q ⋅ ir = ir

In general for any integer k
i4k = 1, i4k+1 =i, i4k+2 = -1 and i4k+3 = -i
