Zero Marks : 0 If none of the bubbles is darkened.
Negative Marks : –1 In all other cases.

= nf(n – 1) + (n – 1) f(n – 2) for n  2 then f(5) is equal to

3. Let N be the number of functions f : A  A where A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} such that f({1, 2, 3}) and
f(f({1, 2, 3})) are disjoint. Let M be the sum of all the prime factors of N, then the value of M is equal
to
(A) 5 (B) 6 (C) 7 (D) 8

4. Let [a, b]  {t  R, a  t  b} , where a  b

(A) f (x) is one – one (B) f (x) is onto function
(C) f (x) is bijection (D) f (x) is an odd function
 SECTION 2 (Maximum Marks: 12)
 This section contains THREE questions.
 Each question has FOUR options (A), (B), (C) and (D). ONE OR MORE THAN ONE of these four option(s)
is(are) correct.
 For each question, darken the bubble(s) corresponding to all the correct option(s) in the ORS.
 For each question, marks will be awarded in one of the following categories:
Full Marks : +4 If only the bubble(s) corresponding to all the correct option(s) is(are)
darkened.
Partial Marks : +1 Four darkening a bubble corresponding to each correct option, provided
NO incorrect option is darkened.
Zero Marks : 0 If none of the bubbles is darkened.
Negative Marks : –2 In all other cases.
 For example, if (A), (C) and (D) are all the correct options for a question, darkening all these three will
result in +4 marks; darkening only (A) and (D) will result in +2 marks; and darkening (A) and (B) will
result in -2 marks, as a wrong option is also darkened.
