Choose the correct answers to the questions from the given options:
5. (d) 0 1
A square matrix whose determinant is 0 is called singular matrix.
6. (c) 12 × 126 = 21 × 72 1
12/21 = 72/126
12 × 126 = 21 × 72
7. (a) 0 1
8. (a) {-1, 0, 1, 2} 1
Given, 1 < 3x + 5 ≤ 11
⇒ 1 < -3x + 5 ⇒ 1 – 5 < 3x
⇒ -4 < 3x ⇒ (-4/3) < x and 3x + 5 ≤ 11
⇒ 3x ≤ 11 – 5 ⇒ 3x ≤ 6
⇒ x ≤ (6/3) ⇒ x ≤ 2
∴ (-4/3) < x ≤ 2 but x ∊ I
∴ solution set = {-1, 0, 1, 2}
9. (d) 1
For a quadratic polynomial the curve must cross the X-axis on at most two points but in option (d) the
curve crosses the X-axis on the three points, so it does not represent the quadratic polynomial.
10. (b) B + A 1
Matrix multiplication is commutative. This says that, if A and B are matrices of the same order such
that A + B is defined then A + B = B + A.
11. (b) 21 1
Explanation:
In a : b : c, mean proportional = b
a : b : c can be written as a : b :: b : c
a : b :: b : c ⇒ a/b = b/c ⇒ b² = ac
b = √ac
Here, a = 7; c = 63
∴ b = √(7 × 63) = 21

13. (a) -1 1

14. (d) 0 1
Explanation:
The graph of x² + 2x + 1 does not cut the x-axis, because it has imaginary roots.
x² + 2x + 1= 0
x² + x + x + 1= 0
x(x+1)+(x+1)=0
(x+1)(x+1)=0
x = -1, -1
15. (b) 1

16. (c) 29:22 1


(8a + 9b/8a + 2b) = 8(5) + 9(2)/8(5) + 2(2)
= 40 + 18/40 + 4 = 58/44 = 29/22
17. 1

Let E be the event for rolling two dice together.


Outcomes for this event are (1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (1,4),(1,5),(1,6),(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),( 2,4),(2,5),(2,6),(3,1),
(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6),(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4),(4,5),(4,6),(5,1),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6),(6,1),(6,2),
(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6).
Now we need a multiple of 3 on one die and an even number on the other die.
So, favorable outcomes are (3,2),(3,4),(3,6),(6,2),(6,4),(6,6).
∴Total number of outcomes = 36

Page 3 of 5
Total number of favorable outcomes = 6
∴Required probability = 6/36 = 1/6.
18. (c) {0, 1, 2, 3} 1
x∈ W
5 – 4x < 2 – 3x
⇒ 5 – 2 ≤ 3x + 4x
⇒ 3 ≤ x.
Solution set = {0, 1, 2, 3,}
19. (d) 27 1
Now, (x + 3)³ = x³ + 3³ + 3x (3)(x + 3)
[using identity, (a + b)³ = a³ + b³ + 3ab (a + b)]
= x³ + 27 + 9x (x + 3)
= x³ +27 + 9x² + 27x Hence, the coefficient of x in (x + 3)³ is 27.
20. (a) m × n 1
The order of a matrix = Number of rows in it × Number of columns in it.
21. (c) x – y/(x + y) 1
Explanation:
A simple problem involving geometric progression (G.P)
In each term, a term of (x + y) is divided.
Hence the third term becomes x-y/(x + y)
22. 1

Number of a non-leap year = 365


Number of Sundays = 53
In a leap year, there are 52 weeks or 364 days
One days is left
Now we have to find the probability of a Sunday out of remaining 1 day

23. (a) x> 7 or x ≤ 5 1


3x – 2 > 19 or 3 – 2x ≥ -7
3x > 19+ 2 or – 2x ≥ -7 – 3
3x > 21 or – 2x ≥ -10
x< 7 or x≤ 5
24. (b) both negative 1
both negative
Let α and β be the zeroes of x² + 88x + 125. Then α + β = −88 and α × β = 125
This can only happen when both the zeroes are negative
