Question 4.
The domain of f(x) = sin ^-1 (-x²)is
(a) (-1, 1)
(b) [-1, 1]
(c) (-1, 1]
(d) [-1, 1)
Solution:
(b) We know that domain of sin ^-1 x is [-1, 1]
Therefore, f(x) = sin ^-1 (-x²) is defined for all x satisfying
-1 ≤ -x² ≤ 1
⇒ 1 ≥ x² ≥ -1
⇒ 0 ≤ x² ≤ 1
⇒ x² ≤ 1 ⇒ x² – 1 ≤ 0
⇒ (x – 1)(x + 1) ≤ 0
⇒ -1 ≤ x ≤ 1
Hence, the domain of f(x) is [-1, 1].

(a) one-one
(b) not one-one
(c) one-one and onto
(d) None of these
Solution:
(b) We have, f(x) = x² + 2
Let x ₁ , x ₂ ∈ R such that
f(x ₁ ) = f(x ₂ )
⇒ x² ₁ + 2 = x² ₂ + 2
⇒ x² ₁ = x² ₂
⇒ x ₁ = ±x ₂
∴ f(x) is not one-one.

(a) \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)
(b) \(\frac{\pi}{3}\)
(c) \(\frac{2\pi}{3}\)
(d) \(\frac{-\pi}{2}\)
Solution:
(a) We have, sec ^-1 (-√2) + cosec ^-1 (-√2)
= (π – \(\frac{\pi}{4}\)) + (\(\frac{\pi}{4}\))
= π – \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)

Solution:
(a) We have, y = 2x + |x|
⇒ y = 2x – x
⇒ y = x
∴ \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = 1

Question 12.

(c) \(\frac{2\pi}{4}\)
(d) \(\frac{-\pi}{6}\)
Solution:
(a) DR’s of given line are -2, -4, -4 and 2, 4, 4.
Since, DR’s are proportional, therefore given lines are parallel to each other.
Hence, the angle between them is zero.

(a) 1
(b) 2
(c) 6
(d) 8
Solution:
(c) Given, lines can be rewritten as

∵ Lines of Eqs. (i) and (ii) are perpendicular.
∴ 2(2 – α) + (-1)(-5) + 3(1) = 0
4 – 2α + 5 + 3 = 0
⇒ 2α = 12 ⇒ α = 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
(d) A is false but R is true

Question 19.
Assertion (A) If R is the relation defined in set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} as R = {{a, b): b = a + 1}, then R is reflexive
Reason (R) The relation R in the set {1, 2, 3 } given by R = {(1, 2), (2, 1)} is symmetric.
Solution:
(d) Assertion Let A = {1,2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
A relation R is defined on set A is
R = {(a, b):b = a + 1}
∴ R = {(1, 2,), (2, 3), (3, 4), (4, 5), (5, 6)}
Now, 6 ∈ A but (6, 6) ∉ R
∴ R is not reflexive.
Hence, Assertion is false.
Reason Given, set A = {1,2, 3}
A relation ft on A is defined as R = {(1,2), (2,1)}
∵ (1, 2) ∈ R and (2, 1) ∈ R.
So, R is symmetric,
Hence, Reason is true.

Question 20.
Assertion (A) The equation of the line joining A(1, 3) and B(0, 0) is given by y = 3x.
Reason (R) The area of triangle with vertices (x ₁ , y ₁ ) (x ₂ , y ₃ ) and (x ₃ , y ₃ ) in

Solution:
(a) Assertion Let P(x, y) be any point on AS.
Then, area of ∆ABP is zero.
[since, the three points are collinear]

This gives \(\frac{1}{2}\)(3x – y) = 0 or y = 3x
which is the equation of required line AS.
Hence, Assertion is true.
Reason The area of triangle with vertices (x ₁ + y ₁ ), (x ₂ , y ₂ )and (x ₃ , y ₃ ) is given by

Hence, Reason is also true and it is the correct explanation of Assertion.

Section B
(This section comprises of very short answer type questions (VSA) of 2 marks each)

Question 21.
Given two independent events A and B such that P(A) = 0.3 and P(B) = 0.6, find P(A’ ∩ B’).
Solution:
Given, P(A) = 0.3 and P(B) = 0.6
Now, P(A’ ∩ B’)=P(A ∪ B)’ = 1 – P[A ∪ B]
= 1 – [P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B)]
= 1 – { 0.3 + 0.6 – 0.3 x 0.6}
[∵ A and S are independent events
∴ P(A n B) = P(A)P(B)]
= 1 – {0.9 – 0.18} = 1 – {0.72} = 0.28

Question 22.
If \(\vec{a}=2\hat{i}+\hat{j}+3\hat{k}\) and \(\vec{b}=3\hat{i}+5\hat{j}-2\hat{k}\), then find |\(\vec{a}\times\vec{b}\)|.
Solution:

Solution:
Given, probability of student A coming in time,

Or
Let B represents the boy and G represents the girl. Then, the sample space of given problem is
S = {BB, GB, BG, GG}
∴ n(S) = 4
Now, let E be the event that both children are boys,
i.e. E = {BB}

(i) Let Fi be the event that one of the children is boy.
Then, F ₁ = {BB, GB, BG}
∴ Required probability

such that y = \(\frac{\pi}{4}\), at x = 1.
Or

Solution:
Given, differential equation is

On integrating both sides, we get

Or
Given differential equation x²dy + y(x + y)dx = O can be written as x²dy + (xy + y²)dx = 0

Question 28.

Solution:
Given, (tan ^-1 x – y)dx = (1 + x²)dy


Or
Given, differential equation is
\(\frac{dy}{dx}\) + 2y tan x = sin x dx
which is a linear differential equation of the form

⇒ 0 = 2 + C ⇒ C = – 2
On putting the value of C in Eq. (ii), we get
y sec² x = sec x – 2
∴ y = cos x – 2 cos²x
which is the required particular solution of the given differential equation.

Question 30.
Sketch the region bounded by the curve y = 2x – x² and the X-axis and find its area using integration.
Solution:
Given,
y = 2x – xy
= -(x² – 2x)
= – (x² – 2x + 1 -1)
⇒ y = – (x – 1)² + 1

⇒ y – 1 = – (x – 1)²
⇒ (x – 1)² = -(y – 1)
Clearly, it Is downward parabola with vertex (1, 1)
Also, y = 2x – x² meets X-axis when y = 0
⇒ 0 = 2x – x²
⇒ 0 = x(2 – x) ⇒ x = 0, 2

Question 31.
Consider the function f : R ⁺ → [4, ∞) defined by f(x) = x² +4, where R ⁺ is the set of all non-negative real numbers. Show that f is bijective.
Solution:
We have a mapping f : R ⁺ → [4, ∞) given by
f(x) = x² + 4.
To prove f is invertible.
For f to be one-one.
Let x ₁ , x ₂ ∈ R ⁺ be any arbitrary elements, such that
f(x ₁ ) = f(x ₂ )
⇒ x² ₁ + 4 = x² ₂ + 4 ⇒ x² ₁ – x² ₂ = 0
⇒ (x ₁ – x ₂ ) (x ₁ + x ₂ ) = 0
⇒ x ₁ – x ₂ = 0 [∵ x ₁ + x ₂ ≠ 0 as x ₁ , x ₂ ∈ R ⁺ ]
⇒ x ₁ = x ₂
So, f is one-one.
For f to be onto
Let y ∈ [4, ∞) be any arbitrary element and let y = f (x)

such that f(x) = y
So, f is onto.
Hence, f is bijective. Hence proved.

3x + 4y – 5z = -5
and 2x -y + 3z = 12


Solution:
Given, system of equations is
x – y + 2z = 7
3x + 4y – 5z = – 5
and 2x – y + 3z = 12
In matrix form, it can be written as


On comparing corresponding elements, we get
x = 2, y = 1 and z = 3
Or
We shall prove that result by using the principle of mathematical induction.
When n = 1, we have

Question 34.
Solve the following LPP graphically maximize Z = 2x + 3y
Subject to constraints
x + 2y ≤ 10, 2x + y ≤ 14 and x, y ≥ 0.
Or
Solve the LPP graphically Maximize Z = 60x + 40y
Subject to constraints
5x + 6y ≤ 45
3x + 2y ≤ 18
and x, y ≥ 0
Solution:
Given, maximize Z = 2x + 3y
Subject to constraints
x + 2y ≤ 10
2x + y ≤ 14
and x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0
Shade the region to the right of Y-axis to show x ≥ 0 and above X-axis to show y ≥ 0.
Table for line x + 2y = 10 is

So, the line is passing through the points (0, 5), (4, 3) and (10, 0).

On putting (0, 0) in the inequality x + 2y ≤ 10, we get 0 + 0 ≤ 10, which is true.
So, the half plane is towards the origin.
Table for line 2x + y = 14 is

So, the line is passing through the points (4, 6), (6, 2) and (7, 0).
On putting (0, 0) in the inequality 2x + y ≤ 14, we get 0 + 0 ≤ 14, which is true.
So, the half plane is towards the origin.
The intersection point of lines corresponding to Eqs. (i) and (ii) is B(6, 2).
On shading the common region, we get the feasible region OABD.

The values of Z at corner points are given below

Corner points	Value of Z = 2x + 3y
O(0, 0)	Z = 2 × 0 + 3 × 0 = 0
A(7, 0)	Z = 2 × 7 + 3 × 0 = 14
B(6, 2)	Z = 2 × 6 + 3 × 2 = 18
D(0, 5)	Z = 2 × 0 + 3 × 5 = 15

Hence, the maximum value of Z is 18 which occurs at the point (6, 2).
Or
We have to maximize Z = 60x + 40y,
Subject to the constraints
5x + 6y ≤ 45,
3x + 2y ≤ 18,
and x, y ≥ 0
Now 5x + 6y = 45
⇒ \(\frac{x}{9}=\frac{y}{15/2}\) = 1
This line meets the axes at A(9, 0) and D(0, \(\frac{15}{2}\)).

Plot these points and join them to obtain the line 5x + 6y = 45.
Clearly, (0, 0) satisfies 5x + 6y ≤ 45.
So, the region below AB represents 5x + 6y ≤ 45.
Again, 3x + 2y = 18 ⇒ \(\frac{x}{6}+\frac{y}{9}\)= 1.
This line meets the axes at C(6, 0) and D(0, 9).
Plot these points and join them to obtain the line 3x + 2y = 18.
Clearly, (0, 0) satisfies 3x + 2y ≤ 18.
So, the region below CD represents 3x + 2y ≤ 18.
x ≥ 0 is the region to the right of the Y-axis,
and y ≥ 0 is the region above the X-axis.
On solving 5x + 6y = 45 and 3x + 2y = 18, we get

Question 35.

Solution:

On comparing the coefficients of t and constant terms from both sides, we get
A + B = 4 ,..(i)
and 34 + 46 = 10 … (ii)
On multiplying Eq, (i) by 3 and then subtracting Eq. (ii) from obtained equation, we get
-B = 2 ⇒ 8 = -2
Then, from Eq. (i), we get A = 6

Solution:
(i) In ∆OAC, we have
OC² + AC² = OA²
⇒ x² + r² = R²
⇒ r = \(\sqrt{R^2-x^2}\)

E ₂ = Event that the person selected is not suffering from CORONA.
We have,
