 2a  b 3c  d   0 13
 a  b 2a  c   1 5 
Ans: Given that   
 2a  b 3c  d   0 13
By definition of equality of matrix as the given matrices are equal, their corresponding elements
are equal. Comparing the corresponding elements, we get
a−b=−1 …(i)
2a − b = 0 …(ii)
2a + c = 5 …(iii)
and 3c + d = 13 …(iv)
Subtracting Eq.(i) from Eq.(ii), we get a = 1
Putting a = 1 in Eq. (i) and Eq. (iii), we get
1 − b = − 1 and 2 + c = 5
 b = 2 and c = 3
Substituting c = 3 in Eq. (iv), we obtain
3 × 3 + d = 13  d = 13 − 9 = 4
Hence, a = 1,b = 2, c = 3 and d = 4.

 We draw the graph of 2x + 3y = 6
2 × 0 + 3 × 0 ≤ 6 ⇒ (0,0) satisfy the constraints.
Hence, feasible region lie towards origin side of line.
For graph of 3x – 2y ≤ 6
We draw the graph of line 3x – 2y = 6.
3 × 0 – 2 × 0 ≤ 6 ⇒ Origin (0, 0) satisfy 3x – 2y = 6.
Hence, feasible region lie towards origin side of line.

For graph of y ≤ 1
We draw the graph of line y = 1, which is parallel to x-axis and meet y-axis at 1.
0 ≤ 1 ⇒ feasible region lie towards origin side of y = 1.
Also, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0 says feasible region is in Ist quadrant.
Therefore, OABCDO is the required feasible region, having corner point O(0, 0), A(0, 1)
Here, feasible region is bounded. Now the value of objective function Z = 8x + 9y is obtained as.
Corner Points Z = 8x + 9y

⇒ 5x1 = 5x2 ⇒ x1 = x2
⇒ given function is one-one.

ASSERTION-REASON BASED QUESTIONS

In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R).
Choose the correct answer out of the following choices.
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true.

19. Assertion (A): The angle between the straight lines   and
2 5 4
x 1 y  2 z  3
  is 90°
1 2 3
Reason (R): Skew lines are lines in different planes which are parallel and intersecting.
Ans: (c) A is true but R is false.
For Assertion, a1a2 + b1b2 + c1c2 = 2(1) + 5(2) + 4(-3) = 0. Both lines are perpendicular
Reason (R) is wrong. In the space, there are lines neither intersecting nor parallel, such pairs of
lines are non-coplanar and are called skew lines.

20. Assertion (A): We can write sin–1x = (sin x) –1.

Reason (R): Any value in the range of principal value branch is called principal value of that
inverse trigonometric function.
Ans: (d) A is false but R is true.

Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 4-

 Assertion: sin–1x should not be confused with (sin x) –1. In fact (sin x) –1; = 1/sin x and similarly
for other trigonometric functions.
Reason: The value of an inverse trigonometric function which lies in the range of principal
branch, is called the principal value of that inverse trigonometric function.
Hence, we can say that Assertion is false and Reason is true.

SECTION – B
Questions 21 to 25 carry 2 marks each.

21. If sin [cot–1 (x + 1)] = cos (tan–1x), then find x.

Ans:

OR
Prove that the Greatest Integer Function f : R → R, given by f(x) = [x] is neither one-one nor
onto. Where [x] denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to x.
Ans: Given f : R → R defined by f(x) = [x]
For one one: We know by definition that for a ≤ x < a + 1, f(x) = a, a is an integer,
i.e. for x1, x2 ∈ [a, a + 1), x1 ≠ x2 ⇒ f(x1) = f(x2) = a.
Hence, not one-one.
For onto: For y (non integer) ∈ R in codomain there does not exist x ∈ R in domain such that
f(x) = y.
Hence, not onto.
Alternative method: Given that f(x) = [x]
It is seen that f(1.4) = [1.4] = 1, f(1.8) = [1.8] = 1.
∴ f(1.4) = f(1.8), but 1.4 ≠ 1.8
∴ f is not one-one
Now, consider 0.7 ∈ R
It is known that f(x) = [x] is always an integer. Thus, there does not exist any element x ∈ R such
that f(x) = 0.7
∴ f is not onto.
Hence, the greatest integer function is neither one-one nor onto.

 SECTION – E(Case Study Based Questions)
Questions 36 to 38 carry 4 marks each.

36. Case-Study 3:
Shalini wants to prepare a handmade gift box for her friend's birthday at home. For making lower
part of box, she takes a square piece of cardboard of side 20 cm.

If x cm be the length of each side of the square cardboard which is to be cut off from corners of
the square piece of side 20 cm and Volume of the box is V then, answer the following questions.
dV
(a) Find the value of V for which = 0 [1]
dx
(b) Shalini is interested in maximising the volume of the box. So, what should be the side of the
square to be cut off so that the volume of the box is maximum? [2]
(c) Find the maximum value of the volume. [1]

Ans: (a) Height of open box = x cm

Length of open box = 20 - 2x and width of open box = 20 - 2x
∴ Volume (V) of the open box = x (20 - 2x)(20 - 2x)
dV
  x  2(20  2 x)(2)  (20  2 x) 2 = (20 – 2x)( -4x + 20 – 2x) = (20 – 2x)(20 – 6x)

37. Case-Study 2: Read the following passage and answer the questions given below.

The temperature of a person during an intestinal illness is given by

1 493
( )=− ²+ + , 0 ≤ ≤ 12, m being a constant, where f(x) is the temperature in °F at
10 50
x days.
(i) Is the function differentiable in the interval (0, 12)? Justify your answer.
(ii) If 6 is the critical point of the function, then find the value of the constant

(iii) Find the intervals in which the function is strictly increasing/strictly decreasing.
OR
(iii) Find the points of local maximum/local minimum, if any, in the interval (0, 12) as well as
the points of absolute maximum/absolute minimum in the interval [0, 12]. Also, find the
corresponding local maximum/local minimum and the absolute maximum/absolute minimum
values of the function.
Ans: (i) f( ) = −0.1 ² + + 98.6, being a polynomial function, is differentiable
everywhere, hence, differentiable in (0, 12)
(ii) '( ) = − 0.2 +
Since, 6 is the critical point,
'(6) = 0 ⇒ = 1.2
(iii) ( ) = −0.1 ² + 1.2 + 98.6
'( ) = − 0.2 + 1.2 = −0.2( − 6)

In the Interval f’(x) Conclusion

(0, 6) +ve f is strictly increasing in [0, 6]
(6, 12) -ve f is strictly decreasing in [6, 12]

OR
(iii) ( ) = −0.1 ² + 1.2 + 98.6,
'( ) = − 0.2 + 1.2, '(6) = 0,
''( ) = − 0.2
''(6) = − 0.2 < 0
Hence, by second derivative test 6 is a point of local maximum. The local maximum value = (6)
= − 0.1 × 6² + 1.2 × 6 + 98.6 = 102.2
We have (0) = 98.6, (6) = 102.2, (12) = 98.6
6 is the point of absolute maximum and the absolute maximum value of the function = 102.2.
0 and 12 both are the points of absolute minimum and the absolute minimum value of the
function = 98.6.

ASSERTION-REASON BASED QUESTIONS

In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R).
Choose the correct answer out of the following choices.
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true but R is false.

Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 4-

(d) A is false but R is true.

19. Assertion (A): sin-1(sin(2π/3)) = 2π/3

Reason (R): sin-1(sin θ) = θ, if θ ∈ [(-π)/2, π/2]
Ans: (d) A is false but R is true.
The principal value branch of sin–1x is [(-π)/2, π/2]
Let x = sin θ ⇒ θ = sin–1x
sin–1(sin θ) = sin–1 x = θ
sin–1(sin θ) = θ, if θ ∈ [(-π)/2, π/2]
Hence R is true.

Hence A is false.

SECTION – B
Questions 21 to 25 carry 2 marks each.

21. Check whether the relation R in the set Z of integers defined as R = {(a, b) : a + b is “divisible by
2”} is reflexive, symmetric or transitive. Write the equivalence class containing 0 i.e., [0]. 3
Ans: Reflexive: (a, a) : a + a = 2a which is even
∴ divisible by 2
∴ (a, a) ∈ R ∀ a ∈ Z. Hence R is reflexive.
Symmetric: If (a, b) ∈ R, then a + b is “divisible by 2”
Let a + b = 2m ⇒ b + a = 2m ...[∵ b + a = a + b
⇒ (b, a) ∈ R ∀ a, b ∈ z
Hence R is symmetric.
Transitive: If (a, b) ∈ R and (b, c) ∈ R
Let a + b = 2m ...(i)
b + c = 2n ...(ii)
Adding (i) and (ii), we have a + b + b + c = 2m + 2n
a + 2b + c = 2m + 2n ⇒ a + c = 2m + 2n – 2b ⇒ a + c = 2(m + n – b)
⇒ a + c = 2k ...where[k = m + n – b ⇒ (a, c) ∈ R
Hence R is transitive. Equivalence class containing 0 i.e. [0] = {......–4, –2, 0, 2, 4, ......}

23. Show that the function f(x) = x3 – 3x2 + 6x – 100 is increasing on R.

Ans: We have, f(x) = x3 – 3x2 + 6x – 100 ...(i)
Differentiating (i) w.r.t. x, we get
f ′(x) = 3x2 – 6x + 6
= 3(x2 – 2x + 1) + 3
= 3(x – 1)2 + 3 > 0
(∵ For all values of x, (x – 1)2 is always positive)
∴ f ′ (x) > 0
So, f(x) is an increasing function on R.

The sum of three numbers is 6. If we multiply third number by 3 and add second number to it,
we get 11. By adding first and third numbers, we get double of the second number. Represent it
algebraically and find the numbers using matrix method.
Ans: Let the first , second and third number be x, y, z respectively.
Then, according to the given condition, we have
x+y+z=6
y + 3z = 11
x + z = 2y or x − 2y + z = 0

Questions 36 to 38 carry 4 marks each.

36. Case-Study 1:
Sonam wants to prepare a sweet box for Diwali at home. For making lower part of box, she takes
a square piece of cardboard of side 18 cm.
Now, x cm be the length of each side of the square cardboard which is to be cut off from corner
of the square piece of side 18 cm.

Based on the above information, answer the following questions :

(i) Express Volume of the open box formed by folding up the cutting corner in terms of x and
dV
find the value of x for which = 0.
dx
(ii) Sonam is interested in maximising the volume of the box. So, what should be the side of the
square to be cut off so that the volume of the box is maximum?
Ans: (i) height of open box = x cm
Length of open box = 18 – 2x
and width of open box = 18 – 2x
∴ Volume (V) of the open box = x × (18 – 2x) × (18 – 2x)
⇒ V = x(18 – 2x)2
dV
⇒ = x ⋅ 2(18 – 2x)(–2) + (18 – 2x)2
dx
= (18 – 2x)(–4x + 18 – 2x)
= (18 – 2x)(18 – 6x)
dV
Now, = 0 ⇒ 18 – 2x = 0 or 18 – 6x = 0
dx

Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 14-

 ⇒ x = 9 or 3
dV
(ii) We have, V = x(18 – 2x)2 and = (18 – 2x)(18 – 6x)
dx
d 2V
⇒ = (18 – 2x)(–6) + (18 – 6x)(–2)
dx 2
= (–2)[54 – 6x + 18 – 6x]
= (–2)[72 – 12x] = 24x – 144
d 2V
For x = 3, <0
dx 2
d 2V
and for x = 9, >0
dx 2
So, volume will be maximum when x = 3.

37. Case-Study 2:
Anil is the owner of a high rise residential society having 50 apartments. When he set rent at
Rs.10000/month, all apartments are rented. If he increases rent by Rs.250/ month, one fewer
apartment is rented. The maintenance cost for each occupied unit is Rs.500/month. Anil
represented the rent price per apartment by P and the number of rented apartments represented
by N.

Based on the above information answer the following questions.

(a) If P = 10500, then find N [1]
(b) If P = 11,000, then find the profit. [1]
(c) Find the rent that maximizes the total amount of profit. [2]
Ans: (a) If P is the rent price per apartment and N is the number of rented apartment, the profit is
given by NP – 500 N = N(P – 500) [∵ Rs. 500/month is the maintenance charges for each
occupied unit]
Clearly, if P = 10500, then 10500 = 10000 + 250 x ⇒ x = 2 ⇒ N = 48
(b) If P = 11000, then 11000 = 10000 + 250 x ⇒ x = 4 and so profit P(4) = 250(50 – 4) (38 + 4)
= Rs. 4,83,000
(c) If x be the number of non-rented apartments, then N = 50 – x and P = 10000 + 250 x
Thus, profit = N(P – 500) = (50 – x) (10000 + 250 x – 500) = (50 – x) (9500 + 250 x) = 250(50
– x) (38 + x)
Now, P′(x) = 250[50 – x – (38 + x)] = 250[12 – 2x]
For maxima/minima, put P′(x) = 0
⇒ 12 – 2x = 0 ⇒ x = 6
Thus, price per apartment is, P = 10000 + 1500 = 11500
Hence, the rent that maximizes the profit is Rs. 11500.

There are two antiaircraft guns, named as A and B. The probabilities that the shell fired from
them hits an airplane are 0.3 and 0.2 respectively. Both of them fired one shell at an airplane at
the same time.

(i) What is the probability that the shell fired from exactly one of them hit the plane?
(ii) If it is known that the shell fired from exactly one of them hit the plane, then what is the
probability that it was fired from B?
Ans:
(i)P(Shell fired from exactly one of them hits the plane)
= P[(Shell from A hits the plane and Shell from B does not hit the plane) or (Shell from A does
not hit the plane and Shell from B hits the plane)]
= 0.3 × 0.8 + 0.7 × 0.2 = 0.38
(ii)P(Shell fired from B hit the plane/Exactly one of them hit the plane)

31. Solve the following Linear Programming Problem graphically:
Maximise Z = x + 2y subject to the constraints: x + 2y ≥ 100; 2x – y < 0; 2x + y ≤ 200; x, y ≥ 0
Ans: Maximise Z = x + 2y
Subject to constraints : x + 2y ≥ 100, 2x – y < 0, 2x + y ≤ 200 and x, y ≥ 0.
Converting the inequations into equations, we obtain the lines
l1 : x + 2y = 100 ...(i)
l2 : 2x – y = 0 ...(ii)
l3 : 2x + y = 200 ...(iii)
l4 : x = 0 ...(iv)
and l5 : y = 0 ...(v)

x y
By intercept form, we get  1
100 50
⇒ The line l1 meets the coordinate axes at (100, 0) and (0, 50).

l3 :   1 ⇒ The line l3 meets the coordinates axes at (100, 0) and (0, 200).
100 200
l4 : x = 0 is the y-axis, l5 : y = 0 is the x-axis

Now, plotting the above points on the graph, we get the feasible region of the LPP as shaded
region ABCD. The coordinates of the corner points of the feasible region ABCD are A(20, 40),
B(50, 100), C(0, 200), D(0, 50).
Now, ZA = 20 + 2 × 40 = 100
ZB = 50 + 2 × 100 = 250,
ZC = 0 + 2 × 200 = 400
ZD = 0 + 2 × 50 = 100
Hence, Z is maximum at C(0, 200) and having value 400.

equivalence relation.
Ans: Given relation R = {(a, b) : 2 divides (a – b)} on the set Z of all integers
Reflexive: Let a ∈ Z
Since (a – a) = 0, which is divisible by 2 i.e., (a, a) ∈ R
∴ R is reflexive.
Symmetric: Let a, b ∈ Z
such that (a, b) ∈ R ⇒ (a – b) is divisible by 2
⇒ – (a – b) is also divisible by 2
⇒ (b – a) is divisible by 2 ⇒ (b, a) ∈ R
i.e., (a, b) ∈ R ⇒ (b, a) ∈ R
∴ R is symmetric.
Transitive: Let a, b, c ∈ Z
such that (a, b) ∈ R ⇒ (a – b) is divisible by 2
Let a – b = 2k1 where k1 is an integer ...(i)
and (b, c) ∈ R ⇒ (b – c) is divisible by 2 ⇒ b – c = 2 k2 where k2 is an integer ...(ii)
Adding (i) and (ii), we have
(a – b) + (b – c) = 2 (k1 + k2) ⇒ a – c = 2 (k1 + k2) ⇒ (a – c) is divisible by 2.

SECTION – E(Case Study Based Questions)

Questions 36 to 38 carry 4 marks each.

36. Case-Study 1: Read the following passage and answer the questions given below.

The temperature of a person during an intestinal illness is given by

( ) = −0.1 ² + + 98.6,0 ≤ ≤ 12, m being a constant, where f(x) is the temperature in °F at
x days.
(i) Is the function differentiable in the interval (0, 12)? Justify your answer.
(ii) If 6 is the critical point of the function, then find the value of the constant
(iii) Find the intervals in which the function is strictly increasing/strictly decreasing.
OR
(iii) Find the points of local maximum/local minimum, if any, in the interval (0, 12) as well as
the points of absolute maximum/absolute minimum in the interval [0, 12]. Also, find the
corresponding local maximum/local minimum and the absolute maximum/absolute minimum
values of the function.
Ans: (i) f( ) = −0.1 ² + + 98.6, being a polynomial function, is differentiable
everywhere, hence, differentiable in (0, 12)
(ii) '( ) = − 0.2 +
Since, 6 is the critical point,
'(6) = 0 ⇒ = 1.2
(iii) ( ) = −0.1 ² + 1.2 + 98.6
'( ) = − 0.2 + 1.2 = −0.2( − 6)

 In the Interval f’(x) Conclusion
(0, 6) +ve f is strictly increasing in [0, 6]
(6, 12) -ve f is strictly decreasing in [6, 12]

OR

(iii) ( ) = −0.1 ² + 1.2 + 98.6,

'( ) = − 0.2 + 1.2, '(6) = 0,
''( ) = − 0.2
''(6) = − 0.2 < 0
Hence, by second derivative test 6 is a point of local maximum. The local maximum value = (6)
= − 0.1 × 6² + 1.2 × 6 + 98.6 = 102.2
We have (0) = 98.6, (6) = 102.2, (12) = 98.6
6 is the point of absolute maximum and the absolute maximum value of the function = 102.2.
0 and 12 both are the points of absolute minimum and the absolute minimum value of the
function = 98.6.

37. Case-Study 2:
One day Shweta’s Mathematics teacher was explaining the topic Increasing and decreasing
functions in the class. He explained about different terms like stationary points, turning points
etc. He also explained about the conditions for which a function will be increasing or decreasing.
He took examples of different functions to make it more clear to the students. He then took the
function ( ) = ( + 1)3( − 3)3 and ask the students to answer the following questions. With
Shweta, you can also test your knowledge by answering the questions

(i) Find the stationary points on the curve. [2]

(ii) Find the intervals where the function is increasing and decreasing? [2]
Ans: (i) We have, ( ) = ( + 1)3( − 3)3
 f  ( x)  3( x  1)2 ( x  3)3  3( x  3)2 ( x  1)3  f  ( x )  3( x  1)2 ( x  3)2 [ x  3  x  1]
 f  ( x)  3( x  1)2 ( x  3)2 (2 x  2)  f  ( x )  6( x  1)2 ( x  3)2 ( x  1)
For stationary points, f  ( x )  0  x  1, 3,1
(ii) The points x = −1, x = 1, and x = 3 divide the real line into four disjoint intervals
i.e.,(−∞, −1), (−1, 1), (1, 3) and (3, ∞).
In intervals (−∞, −1) and (−1, 1), f′(x) = 6(x + 1)2(x − 3)2(x − 1) < 0
∴ f is strictly decreasing in intervals (−∞, −1) and (−1, 1).
In intervals (1, 3) and (3, ∞), f′(x) = 6(x + 1)2(x − 3)2(x − 1) > 0
∴ f is strictly increasing in intervals (1, 3) and (3, ∞).

forms. Vinay has an error rate of 0.06, Sonia has an error rate of 0.04 and Iqbal has an error rate
of 0.03.
(i) Find the conditional probability that an error is committed in processing given that Sonia
processed the form.
(ii) Find the probability that Sonia processed the form and committed an error.
(iii) The manager of the company wants to do a quality check. During inspection he selects a
form at random from the days output of processed forms. If the form selected at random has an
error, find the probability that the form is not processed by Vinay.
OR
If the form selected at random has an error, find the probability that the form is processed by
Sonia
Ans: Let V : Vinay processes form; S : Sonia processes form; I : Iqbal processes form; E : Error
rate
P(V) = 50% = 50/100 = 5/10 ; P(S) = 20% = 20/100 = 2/10 ; P(I) = 30% = 30/100 = 3/10;
P(E/V) = 0.06; P(E/S) = 0.04; P(E/I) = 0.03
(i) Required conditional probability = P(E/S) = 0.04
(ii) P(Sonia processed the form and committed an error) = P(S) + P(E/S) = 2/10 × 0.04 = 0.008
(iii) P(Form is processed by Vinay)

  n  1, if nis odd
Show that f ∶ N → N, given by f (n)   is a bijection.
 n  1, if nis even
Ans: Injective test:
Case I: If n is odd:
Let x1 , x2  N such that f ( x1 )  f ( x2 )
f ( x1 )  x1  1, f ( x2 )  x2  1
As f ( x1 )  f ( x2 )  x1  1  x2  1  x1  x2
Case II: If n is even,
Let x1 , x2  N such that f ( x1 )  f ( x2 )
f ( x1 )  x1  1, f ( x2 )  x2  1
As f ( x1 )  f ( x2 )  x1  1  x2  1  x1  x2
∴ f is injective.
Surjection test:
Case I: If n is odd,
As, for every n ∈ N, there exists y = n − 1 in N such that,
f(y) = f(n − 1) = n – 1 + 1 = n
Case II: If n is even,
As, for every n ∈ N, there exists y = n + 1 in N such that,
f(y) = f(n + 1) = n + 1 – 1 = n
∴ f is surjective.
Since f is injective and surjective then, it is a bijection.

such that ad=bc for all (a,b),(c,d)∈N×N. Show that R is an equivalence relation on N×N.
Ans: For reflexive: (a, b) R (a, b) such that ab = ba, which is true in N.
Hence, reflexive.
For symmetric:(a, b) R (c, d) such that ad = bc and cb =da for (c, d) R (a, b).
Hence, symmetric.
For transitive: Consider (a, b) R (c, d) and (c, d) R (e, f) such that ad = bc and cf = de then
we have ad⋅cf = bc⋅de and therefore af = be (a,b) R (e, f).
Hence, transitive. Since relation R is reflexive, symmetric and transitive. Hence, relation R is an
equivalence relation.

(c) Value of Z at R is less than the value at P.
(d) Value of Z at Q is less than the value at R.
Ans: (b) Maximum value of Z is at Q.
Z = 4x + 3y

Direction ratios of CD are
(3 – 0), (5 – 3), (6 – 2) i.e., 3, 2, 4.
We know that two lines with direction ratios a1, b1, c1 and a2, b2, c2 are perpendicular if
a1a2 + b1b2 + c1c2 = 0.
∴ 2 × 3 + 5 × 2 + (– 4) × 4 = 6 +10 –16 = 0, which is true.
It will shows that lines AB and CD are perpendicular.

22. Show that the modulus function f : R → R given by f (x) = |x|, is neither one-one nor onto, where

One-one: Let x1 = 1, x2 = –1 be two elements belongs to R
f(x1) = f(1) = |1| and f(x2) = f(–1) = – (–1) = 1
⇒ f(x1) = f(x2) for x1 ≠ x2
⇒ f(x) is not one-one.
Onto: Let f(x) = –1 ⇒ |x| = –1 ∈ R, which is not possible.
⇒ f(x) is not onto.
Hence, f is neither one-one nor onto function.

34. Show that each of the relation R in the set A = {x ∈ Z : 0 ≤ x ≤ 12}, given by R = {(a, b) :|a – b|
is a multiple of 4} is an equivalence relation.
Find the set of all elements related to 1 in each case.
Ans: A = {x ∈ Z : 0 ≤ x ≤ 12}
R = {(a, b) : | a – b | is a multiple of 4}
Reflexive: Let x ∈A ⇒ |x – x| = 0, which is a multiple of 4.
⇒ (x, x) ∈ R ∀ x ∈A
∴ R is reflexive.
Symmetric: Let x, y ∈A and (x, y) ∈ R
⇒ |x – y| is a multiple of 4
or x – y = ± 4p {p is any integer}
⇒ y – x =  4p ⇒ | y – x | is a multiple of 4. ⇒ (y, x) ∈ R
⇒ R is symmetric.
Transitive: Let x, y, z ∈ A, (x, y) ∈ R and (y, z) ∈ R
⇒ |x - y| is multiple of 4 and | y – z |is multiple of 4
⇒ x – y is multiple of 4 and y – z is multiple of 4

-
 ⇒ (x – y) + (y – z) is multiple of 4 ⇒ (x – z) is multiple of 4.
⇒ |x – z| is multiple of 4 ⇒ (x, z) ∈ R ⇒ R is transitive.
So, R is an equivalence relation.
Let B be the set of elements related to 1.
∴ B = {a ∈ A : |a – 1| is multiple of 4}

(i) If R(x) denote the revenue, then find the value of x at which R(x) has maximum value.
(ii) Find the Maximum revenue collected by company
OR
Find the number of cars rented per day, if x = 75.
Ans: (i) Let x be the price charge per car per day and n be the number of cars rented per day.
R(x) = n × x = (1000 – 5x) x = –5x2 + 1000x
⇒ R′(x) = 1000 – 10x
For R(x) to be maximum or minimum, R′(x) = 0
⇒ –10x + 1000 = 0 ⇒ x = 100
Also, R″(x) = –10 < 0
Thus, R(x) is maximum at x = 100
(ii) At x = 100, R(x) is maximum.
Maximum revenue = R(100) = –5(100)2 + 1000(100) = Rs. 50,000
OR
If x = 75, number of cars rented per day is given by
n = 1000 – 5 × 75 = 625

ASSERTION-REASON BASED QUESTIONS

In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R).
Choose the correct answer out of the following choices.
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 4-

(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true.

19. Assertion (A): A function f: N → N be defined by:

 n 1
 2 , if n is odd
f ( n)  
 n, if n is even for all n  N one  one
 2
Reason (R): A function f: A → B is said to be injective if f(a) = f(b) ⇒ a = b
Ans: (d) A is false but R is true.
11
For n = 1, f(1) = =1
2
For n = 2, f(2) = 2/2 = 1
⇒ f(1) = f(2) = 1
⇒ f(x) is not one-one
∴ Assertion is false

But the definition of injectivity is true so, the reason is true.

29. Find the points on the line   at a distance of 5 units from the point P(1, 3, 3).
3 2 2
x  2 y 1 z  3
Ans: Given, the equation of a line is:   = λ (say)
3 2 2
⇒ x = 3λ – 2, y = 2λ – 1, z = 2λ + 3
So, we have a point on the line is:
Q(3λ – 2, 2λ – 1, 2λ + 3) …….(i)
Now, given that distance between two points P(1, 3, 3) and Q(3λ – 2, 2λ – 1, 2λ + 3) is 5 units
i.e. PQ = 5
⇒ [(3  2  1) 2  (2  1  3)2  (2  3  3) 2 ]  5
On Squaring both sides, we get
(3λ – 3)2 + (2λ – 4)2 + (2λ)2 = 25
⇒ 9λ2 + 9 – 18λ + 4λ2 + 16 – 16λ + 4λ2 = 25
⇒ 17λ2 – 34λ = 0
⇒ 17λ (λ – 2) = 0
Either 17λ = 0 or λ – 2 = 0
∴ λ = 0 or 2
On putting λ = 0 and λ = 2 in equation (i),
we get the required point as (-2, -1, 3) or (4, 3, 7)

30. Let R be a relation on the set A of ordered pairs of positive integers defined as (x, y) R(u, v) if
and only if xv = yu. Show that, R is an equivalence relation. [3]
Ans: Clearly, (x, y) S(u, v) for all (x, y) ∈ A,
since xy = yx for all positive integers x and y.
This show that S is reflexive.
Further, (x, y) S(u, v)
⇒ xv = yu ⇒ uy = vx ⇒ (u, v) S(x, y)
and hence (u, v) S(x, y)
This shows that S is symmetric.
Suppose, (x, y) S(u, v) and (u, v) S(a, b)
So, xv = yu and ub = va
a u b a a b
⇒ xv  yu ⇒ xv   yu [∵ ub = va ⇒  ]
u u v u u v
⇒ xb = ya
⇒ (x, y) S(a, b)
This shows that S is transitive.
Hence, S is an equivalence relation.

its depth is 2 m and volume is 8 cu m. If the building of the tank costs ₹ 70 per sq meter for the
base and ₹ 45 per sq meter for the sides, what is the cost of the least expensive tank?
Ans: Let x and y be the length and breadth of the rectangular base of the open tank.
Then, the volume (V) and the surface area (S) of the tank are given by,
V = 2xy; S = xy + 2(2x + 2y)

 SECTION – E(Case Study Based Questions)
Questions 36 to 38 carry 4 marks each.

36. Case-Study 1:
Read the following passage and answer the questions given below.
Let R be the feasible region of a linear programming problem and let Z = ax + by be the
objective function. When Z has an optimal value (max. or min.), when the variable x and y are
subject to constraints described by linear inequalities, this optimal value occurs at the corner
point (vertex) of the feasible region.
Based on the above information, answer the following questions:
(i) What is an objective function of LPP? [1]
(ii) In solving an LPP “minimize f = 6x + 10y subject to constraints x ≥ 6, y ≥ 2, 2x + y ≥ 10, x ≥
0, y ≥ 0” which among is redundant constraint? [1]
(iii) The feasible region for an LPP is shown in the figure. Let Z = 3x – 4y, be the objective
function. Then, at which point minimum of Z occurs? [2]

OR
The feasible region for an LPP is shown shaded in the figure. Let F = 3x – 4y be the objective
function. Then, what is the maximum value of F. [2]

Ans: (i) Objective function is a linear function whose maximum or minimum values is to be
found.
(ii) When x ≥ 6 and y ≥ 2, then
2x + y ≥ 2 × 6 + 2
i.e., 2x + y ≥ 14
Hence, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0, and 2x + y ≥ 10 are automatically satisfied by every point of the region.
Hence, answer is 2x + y ≥ 10, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0.

Based on the above information, answer the following questions:

(i) If the radius of the circular garden is ‘r’ m and the side of the square garden is ‘x’ m, then
what is the sum of their areas? And find the number which exceeds its square by the greatest

In a town, it’s rainy one-third of the day. Given that it is rainy, there will be heavy traffic with
probability 1/2. Given that it is not rainy, there will be heavy traffic with probability 1/4. If it’s
rainy and there is heavy traffic, I arrive late for work with probability 1/2. On the other hand, the
probability of being late is reduced to 1/8 if it, is not rainy and there is no heavy traffic. In other
situations (rainy and no heavy traffic, net rainy and heavy traffic), the probability of being late is
1/4. You pick a random day.

Based on the above information, answer the following questions:

(i) What is the probability that it’s not raining and there is heavy traffic and I am not late?
(ii) What is the probability that I am late?
(iii) Given that I arrived late at work, what is the probability that it rained that day?
OR
(iii) If P(not A) = 0.7, P(B) = 0.7 and P(B/A) = 0.5, then find the P(A/B)
Ans: From the given passage we can form a tree as below:

(i) P(RCTLC) = 1/8

(ii) P(I am late) = Sum of probabilities corresponds to “I am late”
= P(RTL) + (RTCL) + (RCTL) + (RCTCL)

Given, P(A') = 0.7 and P(B') = 0.7 and P(B/A) = 0.5
Clearly, P(A) = 1 – P(A') = 1 – 0.7 = 0.3

Now, P     0.5   P( A  B)  0.15
