Q 1. If A= {1,2,3,4,5,6}, then the number of subsets of A which contain at least two elements is:
a) 64
b) 63
c) 57
d) 58
Solution:
Total number of subsets of A is 2n(A)=26=64
Number of subsets of A which contain at least two elements is
64−(6C0+6C1)
=64−(1+6)
=57
Q 2. As per the principle of mathematical induction, for all n∈N, the expression 3²ⁿ⁺² - 8n - 9 is
divisible by:
a) 9
b) 8
c) 7
d) 5
Solution:
We can write,
P (n) : 32n + 2 - 8n - 9 is divisible by 8
We note that
P (1) : 32.1 + 2 - 8n - 9 = 34 - 8 - 9 = 81 - 17 = 64, which is divisible by 8.
Thus P (n) is true for n = 1
Let P (k) be true for some natural number k.
i.e., P (k) : 32k + 2 - 8k - 9 is divisible by 8
We can write
32k + 2 - 8k - 9 = 8a ....(1)
where a ∈ N
Now, we will prove that P (k + 1) is true whenever P (k) is true.
Now,
32(k+ 1) + 2 - 8(k + 1) - 9
= 32k + 4 - 8k - 8 - 9
= 32.32k+ 2 - 8k - 17
= 32 (32k+ 2 - 8k - 9 + 8k + 9) - 8k - 17 (added and subtracted 8k and 9)
= 32 (32k+ 2 - 8k - 9) + 3² (8k + 9) - 8k - 17
= 32.8a + 72k + 81- 8k - 17 .... [from (1)]
= 9.8a + 64k + 64
= 8(9a + 8k + 8)
From the last line, we see that
8(9a + 8k + 8) is divisible by 8.
a) (-4, 3)
b) (4, -3)
c) (4, -1)
d) (-1, 4)
Solution:
Since, 92=3−24+20
24=1⋅20+4
20=4⋅5+0
∴(24,92)=4
=24−1⋅20
=24−1⋅(92−3⋅24)
=24−92+3⋅24
=4⋅24−92…(i)
But (24,92)=24m+92n…(ii)
∴(m,n)=(4,−1)
Trigonometric Functions
Q 1. Find the values of the trigonometric functions in sin 765°.
a) 1/√2
b) 1/√6
c) 1/√4
d) 1/√3
Solution:
We know that the value of sun x repeats after an interval of 2π or 360°.
= sin 45°
= 1/√2
Q 2. A wheel makes 360 revolutions in one minute. Through how many radians does it turn in one
second?
Solution:
Given that a wheel makes 360 revolutions in one minute
So, In 6 revolutions, the wheel will turn 6×2π radian = 12π radian.
Hence, in one second the wheel will turn an angle of 12π radian.
a) 2
b) 1
c) 5
d) 7
Solution:
A (-15π/4) = cot (2 X 2π -15π/4) = cot (16π -15π/4) cot = cot π/4 = 1.
Probability
Q 1. What is the probability of rolling a sum of 7 with two fair six-sided dice?
a) 1/6
b) 1/12
c) 1/8
d) 1/36
Solution:
Let A = sum of numbers is 7 = { (1, 6)(2, 5)(3, 4) (4, 3) (5, 2) (6, 1)}
n(A) = 6
= 6/36 = 1/6
Therefore, the probability of rolling two dice and getting a sum of 7 is 1/6.
a) 13/52
b) 17/52
c) 16/52
d) 14/52
Solution:
=16/52 or 4/13.
Q 3. If you have 5 red balls and 3 blue balls in a bag, what is the probability of randomly drawing a
red ball?
a) 3/8
b) 5/8
c) 1/2
d) 3/5
Solutions:
Correct option is A. 58
Total no. of balls is 5+3=8
No. of red balls is 5
The probability is 5/8
a) 2
b) 3
c) 4
d) 5
Solution:
The formula to find the slope of the line is m = (y2 - y1)/ (x2 - x1)
m = -4/-2
m=2
Q 2. What is the equation of the line that has a slope of -3 and passes through the point (1, 2)?
a) y=−3x+5
b) y=−3x−1
c) y=−3x+7
d) y=−3x−4
Solution:
The slope of line is 3
The point it passes through is (1,2)
The equation of line is y−2=3(x−1)
y−2=3x−3
3x−y−1=0
y= -3x-1
Q 3. If a line is perpendicular to the line with the equation 2x−3y+6=0, what is the slope of the
perpendicular line?
a) 3/2
b) −2/3
c) 2/3
d) −3/2
Solution:
y=2/3x−2
Using the slope-intercept form, the slope is 2/3.
m=2/3
The equation of a perpendicular line must have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the
original slope.
Mperpendicular=−1/2/3
Simplify the result.
Mperpendicular=−3 / 2
