On multiplying Eq. (i) by 2, Eq. (ii) by 3 and subtracting Eq. (i) from Eq. (ii), we get

⇒ 𝑓(𝑥2) = 2 (3 ― 𝑥2 ― 2𝑥4)

⇒ 𝑓(𝑥4) = 5𝑥4(3 ― 𝑥4 ―2𝑥8) [Replacing 𝑥 by 𝑥2]
(1 ― 𝑥4)(2𝑥4 + 3)

2 (c)
The function 𝑓(𝑥) = 7―𝑥𝑃𝑥―3 is defined only if 𝑥 is an integer satisfying the following inequalities:
(i)7 ― 𝑥 ≥ 0 (ii)𝑥 ― 3 ≥ 0 (iii)7 ― 𝑥 ≥ 𝑥 ― 3
Now,
7 ― 𝑥 ≥ 0⇒𝑥 ≤ 7
𝑥 ― 3 ≥ 0⇒𝑥 ≥ 3 ⇒3 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 5
7 ― 𝑥 ≥ 𝑥 ― 3⇒𝑥 ≤ 5 }
Hence, the required domain is {3, 4, 5}
3 (a)
We have,
𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥, g(𝑥) = |𝑥|for all 𝑥 ∈ 𝑅 and ϕ (𝑥) satisfies the relation
[ϕ(𝑥) ― 𝑓(𝑥)]2 + [ϕ(𝑥) ― g(𝑥)]2 = 0
⇒ϕ(𝑥) ―𝑓(𝑥) = 0 and ϕ(𝑥) ― g(𝑥) = 0
⇒ϕ(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑥) and ϕ(𝑥) = g(𝑥)
⇒𝑓(𝑥) = g(𝑥) = ϕ(𝑥)
But, 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑔(𝑥) = 𝑥, for all 𝑥 ≥ 0 [ ∵ |𝑥| = 𝑥 for all 𝑥 ≥ 0]
∴ ϕ(𝑥) = 𝑥 for all 𝑥 ∈ [0,∞)
4 (b)
We observe that 𝑓(𝑥) = 3sin ( 𝜋2
16
)
― 𝑥2 exists for
𝜋2 𝜋 𝜋
― 𝑥2 ≥ 0⇒ ― ≤ 𝑥 ≤
16 4 4
𝜋2 2 𝜋 𝜋2
The least value of 16 ― 𝑥 is 0 for 𝑥 =± 4 and the greatest value is 16 for 𝑥 = 0. Therefore, the
greatest value of 𝑓(𝑥) occurs at 𝑥 = 0 and the least value occurs at 𝑥 =± 𝜋/4
Thus, greatest and least values of 𝑓(𝑥) are
𝑓(0) = 3 sin ( )
𝜋2 = 3 sin 𝜋 = 3 and, 𝑓 𝜋 = 3 sin 0 = 0
16 4 2 4
()
Hence, the value of 𝑓(𝑥) lie in the interval [0, 3/ 2]
𝜋2
ALITER For 𝑥 ∈ [ ―𝜋/4, 𝜋/4] = 𝐷𝑜𝑚 (𝑓), we find that ― 𝑥2 ∈ [0, 𝜋/4]
16
Since sin 𝑥 is an increasing function on [0,𝜋/4]
2
∴ sin 𝑥 ≤ sin 𝜋 ― 𝑥2 ≤ sin 𝜋/4
16

⇒0 ≤ 3 sin 𝜋 ― 𝑥2 ≤ ⇒0 ≤ 𝑓(𝑥) ≤

Hence, 𝑓(𝑥) is periodic with period 2.

― 𝑏 1/2
It can be easily checked that 𝑔(𝑥) = (𝑥 1/3
𝑎
) satisfies the relation 𝑓𝑜𝑔 (𝑥) = 𝑔𝑜𝑓 (𝑥)
7 (a)
Since, (1, 2) ∈ 𝑆 but (2, 1) ∉ 𝑆
∴ 𝑆 is not symmetric.
Hence, 𝑆 is not an equivalent relation.
Given, 𝑇 = {(𝑥, 𝑦):(𝑥 ― 𝑦) ∈ 𝐼}
Now, 𝑥𝑇𝑥⇒𝑥 ― 𝑥 = 0 ∈ 𝐼, it is reflexive relation
Again, 𝑥𝑇𝑦⇒(𝑥 ― 𝑦) ∈ 𝐼
⇒𝑦 ― 𝑥 ∈ 𝐼⇒𝑦𝑇𝑥 it is symmetric relation.
Let 𝑥𝑇𝑦 and 𝑦𝑇𝑧
∴ 𝑥 ― 𝑦 = 𝐼1 and 𝑦 ― 𝑧 = 𝐼2
Now, 𝑥 ― 𝑧 = (𝑥 ― 𝑦) + (𝑦 ― 𝑧) = 𝐼1 + 𝐼2 ∈ 𝐼
⇒𝑥 ― 𝑧 ∈ 𝐼
⇒ 𝑥𝑇𝑧
∴ 𝑇 is transitive.
Hence, 𝑇 is an equivalent relation.

Since, ―1 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 1, therefore ―1 ≤ 𝑓(𝑥) ≤ 1
∴ Function is one-one onto.

10 (b)
Let 𝐴 = {1, 2, 3}
Let two transitive relations on the set 𝐴 are
𝑅 = {(1, 1), (1, 2)}
And 𝑆 = {(2, 2), (2, 3)}
Now, 𝑅 ∪ 𝑆 = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (2, 2), (2, 3)}
Here, (1, 2), (2, 3) ∈ 𝑅 ∪ 𝑆⇒(1, 3) ∉ 𝑅 ∪ 𝑆
∴ 𝑅 ∪ 𝑆 is not transitive.
11 (c)
𝑓(1) = 3, 𝑓(2) = 4, 𝑓(3) = 5, 𝑓(4) = 6
⇒1 ∈ 𝐵, 2 ∈ 𝐵 do not have any pre-image in 𝐴
⇒𝑓 is one-one and into
12 (b)
We observe that
|𝑓(𝑥) + ϕ(𝑥)| = |𝑓(𝑥)| +|ϕ(𝑥)| is true, if
𝑓(𝑥) ≥ 0 and ϕ(𝑥) ≥ 0
OR
𝑓(𝑥) < 0 and ϕ(𝑥) < 0
⇒(𝑥 > ―1 and 𝑥 > 2) or (𝑥 < ―1 and 𝑥 < 2)
⇒𝑥 ∈ (2,∞) ∪ ( ―∞, ― 1)
13 (b)
sin―1(3 ― 𝑥)
We have, 𝑓(𝑥) =
log𝑒(|𝑥| ― 2)
―1
sin (3 ― 𝑥) is defined for all 𝑥 satisfying
―1 ≤ 3 ― 𝑥 ≤ 1⇒ ― 4 ≤ ―𝑥 ≤ ―2⇒𝑥 ∈ [2, 4]
log𝑒(|𝑥| ― 2) is defined for all 𝑥 satisfying
|𝑥| ― 2 > 0⇒𝑥 ∈ ( ― ∞, ― 2) ∪ (2, ∞)
Also, log𝑒(|𝑥| ― 2) = 0 when |𝑥| ―2 = 1 i.e., 𝑥 =± 3
Hence, domain of 𝑓 = (2, 3) ∪ (3, 4]
14 (a)
𝑓(𝑥) is defined
When |𝑥| > 𝑥
⇒ 𝑥 < ―𝑥, 𝑥 > 𝑥
⇒ 2𝑥 < 0, (𝑥 > 𝑥 is not possible)
⇒ 𝑥<0
Hence domain of 𝑓(𝑥) is ( ― ∞, 0).
15 (d)
We have,
𝑓(𝑥) = log10 {(log10 𝑥)2 ― 5(log10 𝑥) + 6}
Clearly, 𝑓(𝑥) assumes real values, if
(log10 𝑥)2 ― 5 log10 𝑥 + 6 > 0 and 𝑥 > 0
⇒(log10 𝑥 ― 2)(log10 ―3) > 0 and 𝑥 > 0
⇒(log10 𝑥 < 2 or log10 𝑥 > 3) and 𝑥 > 0
⇒(𝑥 < 102 or, 𝑥 > 103) and 𝑥 > 0⇒𝑥 ∈ (0,102) ∪ (103,∞)
16 (b)
We have,

⇒𝑓(𝑦) = 𝑦2 ―2, where 𝑦 = 𝑥 + 𝑥
Now,
1 1
𝑥 > 0⇒𝑦 = 𝑥 + 𝑥 ≥ 2 and, 𝑥 < 0⇒𝑦 = 𝑥 + 𝑥 ≤ ―2
Thus, 𝑓(𝑦) = 𝑦2 ―2 for all 𝑦 satisfying |𝑦| ≥ 2
17 (c)
Since sin 𝑥 is a periodic function with period 2𝜋 and
2𝑥 + 3 𝑥 1
𝑓(𝑥) = sin ( 6𝜋 ) = sin( +
3𝜋 2𝜋 )
2𝜋
∴ 𝑓(𝑥) is periodic with period = 1/3 𝜋 = 6𝜋2
18 (c)
Let 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑦. Then,
𝑦+7 𝑦+7
10 𝑥 ― 7 = 𝑦⇒𝑥 = ⇒𝑓―1(𝑦) =
10 10
―1 𝑥+7
Hence, 𝑓 (𝑥) = 10
19 (b)
∴ 𝑓(2.5) = [2.5 ― 2] = [0.5] = 0
20 (c)
We have,
𝑓(𝑥) = log10( log10 𝑥 ) ― log10(4 ― log10 𝑥) ― log10 3
Clearly, 𝑓(𝑥) assumes real values, if
log10( log10 𝑥 ) ― log10(4 ― log10 𝑥) ― log10 3 ≥ 0
⇒ log10 { log10 𝑥
3(4 ― log10 𝑥)} ≥0
log10 𝑥
⇒ ≥1
3(4 ― log10 𝑥 )
4 log10 𝑥 ― 12
⇒ ≥0
3(4 ― log10 𝑥 )
log10 𝑥 ― 3
⇒ ≤0
log10 𝑥 ― 4
⇒3 ≤ log10 𝑥 < 4 ⇒103 ≤ 𝑥 < 104⇒𝑥 ∈ [103,104)
Hence, domain of 𝑓 = [103,104)
