(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]
3. (a) 5
n(n+1)(2n+1)

(n+1)(2n+1)
Explanation: Mean = 6

n
=
6

(n+1)(2n+1)
⇒ 11 = 6

⇒ 66 = (n + 1)(2n + 1)
⇒ 2n2 + 3n - 65 = 0
⇒ 2n2 + 13n - 10n - 65 = 0
⇒ (2n + 13)(n - 5) = 0
−13
⇒ n = 5,

So, n = 5

5. (a) y – x – 1 = 0
Explanation: Suppose the slope of the line be m. Then, its equation passing through (1, 2) is given by
y – 2 = m (x – 1) ... (1)
Again, this line is perpendicular to the given line x + y + 7 = 0 whose slope is – 1
Thus, we have m ( – 1) = – 1 or m = 1

Page 6 of 17
 Thus, the required equation of the line is obtained by substituting thethe value of m in (1), i.e.,
y – 2 = x – 1 or y – x – 1 = 0

8.
(b) 11
Explanation: We have an n sided polygon has n vertices. If you join every distinct pair of vertices you will get lines.
These lines account for the n sides of the polygon as well as for the diagonals.
n(n−1) n(n−3)
So the number of diagonals is given by n
C2 – n =
2
–n=
2

But number of diagonals = 44

n(n−3)
⇒ 44 = 2

⇒ 88 = n(n - 3)
⇒ n2 - 3n - 88 = 0
⇒ (n - 11)(n + 8) = 0

⇒ n = 11, -8

Since n cannot be negative, we get n = 11

It is given that 2m - 2n = 56
So, 2n(2m-n - 1) = 23(23 - 1)

using properties of greatest integer function
(1) = 1. (0.5) = 0. (0.5) = -1
Hence, R(f) = -( sin 1.0)
OR
1
Here we have, f(x) =
√x2 −1

we need to find where the function is defined

The condition for the function to be defined
x2 - 1 > 0
⇒ x2 > 1
⇒ x > 1

So, the domain of the function is the set of all the real numbers greater than 1
The domain of the function, D{f(x)} = (1, ∞ )
Now put any value of x within the domain set we get the value of the function always a fraction whose denominator is not
equalled to 0
The range of the function, Rf(x) = (0, 1).

23. When a fair die is thrown, the possible outcomes are

S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
∴ Total number of outcomes =n(S)= 6 and

Odd numbers in a throw={1, 3, 5}

∴ Number of favourable outcomes = n(A)=3

We know that,
n(A)
Required probabiltiy = =
Number of favourable outcome

2
n(S) Total number of outcomes

OR
We have to find the probability that the number is divisible by 4.
Total number of five digit numbers formed by the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 is 5!.
∴ Total number of elementary events = 5! = 120.

We know that a number is divisible by 4 if the number formed by last two digits is divisible by 4.
Therefore last two digits can be 12,24, 32, 52 that is, last two digits can be filled in 4 ways.
But corresponding to each of these ways there are 3! = 6 ways of filling the remaining three places.
Therefore the total number of five digit numbers formed by the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and divisible by 4 is 4 × 6 = 24

Page 9 of 17
 ∴ Favourable number of elementary events = 24
So, required probability = =

25. Let + = 1 be the equation of line.
a b

It is given that a + b = 1 and ab = -6

We know that (a - b)2 = (a + b)2 - 4ab
2 2
⇒ (a − b) = (1) − 4 × −6 = 1 + 24 = 25 ⇒ a − b = ±5

Solving a + b = 1 and a - b = 5 we have

a = 3 and b = -2
Solving a +b = 1 and a - b = -5, we have
a = -2 and b = 3
Thus the required equations are

Condition: women occupy even places
Here the total number of people is 8.
__ W __ W __ W __ W

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
In this question first, the arrangement of women is required.
The positions where women can be made to sit is 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th. There are 4 even places in which 3 women are to be arranged.
Women can be placed in P (4,3) ways. The rest 5 men can be arranged in 5! ways.
Therefore, the total number of arrangements is P (4,3)× 5!
Formula:
Number of permutations of n distinct objects among r different places, where repetition is not allowed, is
P(n,r) = n!

(n−r)!

Therefore, a permutation of 4 different objects in 3 places and the arrangement of 5 men are
P(4,3)× 5! = 4!

(4−3)!
× 5!
= 24

× 120 = 2880
Hence number of ways in which they can be seated is 2880

We have to prove that sin 5x = 5 sin x - 20 sin3 x + 16 sin5 x.
Let us consider LHS = sin 5x
sin 5x = sin(3x + 2x)
But we know,
sin(x + y) = sin x cos y + cos x sin y ... (i)
⇒ sin 5x = sin 3x cos 2x + cos 3x sin 2x
⇒ sin 5x = sin (2x + x) cos 2x + cos (2x + x) sin 2x ... (ii)
And
cos (x + y) = cos(x)cos(y) - sin(x)sin(y) ... (iii)
Now substituting equation (i) and (iii) in equation (ii), we get
⇒ sin 5x = (sin 2x cos x + cos 2x sin x)cos 2x + (cos 2x cos x - sin 2x sin x) sin 2x

⇒ sin 5x = sin 2x cos 2x cos x + cos2 2x sin x + (sin 2x cos 2x cos x - sin2 2x sin x)
⇒ sin 5x = 2sin 2x cos 2x cos x + cos2 2x sin x - sin2 2x sin x ... (iv)
Now sin 2x = 2sin x cos x ... (v)
And cos 2x = cos2x - sin2x ... (vi)
Substituting equation (v) and (vi) in equation (iv), we get
⇒ sin 5x = 2(2sin x cos x)(cos2x - sin2x)cos x + (cos2x - sin2x)2sin x - (2sin x cos x)2sin x
⇒ sin 5x = 4(sin x cos2 x)([1 - sin2x] - sin2x) + ([1 - sin2x] - sin2x)2sin x - (4sin2 x cos2 x)sin x (as cos2x + sin2x = 1 ⇒ cos2x =

⇒ sin 5x = 4(sin x [1 - sin2x])(1 - 2sin2x) + (1 - 2sin2x)2sin x - 4sin3 x [1 - sin2x]
⇒ sin 5x = 4sin x(1 - sin2x)(1 - 2sin2x) + (1 - 4sin2x + 4sin4x)sin x - 4sin3 x + 4sin5x
⇒ sin 5x = (4sin x - 4sin3x)( 1 - 2sin2x) + sin x - 4sin3x + 4sin5x - 4sin3 x + 4sin5x
⇒ sin 5x = 4sin x - 8sin3x - 4sin3x + 8sin5x + sin x - 8sin3x + 8sin5x
⇒ sin 5x = 5sin x - 20sin3x + 16sin5x
Hence LHS = RHS
