l = cos 90° = 0, m = cos 135° = –\({\frac{1}{\sqrt2}}\)
and n = cos 45° = \({\frac{1}{\sqrt2}}\)

Hence, the direction cosines of the line are
<0, –\({\frac{1}{\sqrt2}}\), \({\frac{1}{\sqrt2}}\)>

(a) 1 × 8
(b) 2 × 4
(c) 4 × 2
(d) 4 × 4
Solution:
(d) We know that if a matrix of order mxn, then it has mn elements. Thus, to find all the possible order of a matrix with 8 elements, we will find all the ordered pairs of natural numbers, whose product is 8. Thus, all possible ordered pairs are (1, 8), (8, 1), (2, 4), (4, 2).

Question 4.

Solution:
(b)The probability distribution is

We know that ∑ P _l = 1
∴ k + 4k + 9k + 8k + 10k + 12k = 1
⇒ 44k = 1
⇒ k = \({\frac{1}{44}}\)

Question 5.

not invertible?

(a) ±4
(b) ± 2
(c) ±3
(d) ± 1
Solution:
(c) Given area of a triangle with vertices (-3, 0), (3, 0) and (0, k) is 9 sq units.

The direction cosines of a line are k, k, k, then
(a) k > 0
(b) 0 < k < 1
(c) k = 1
(d) k = ± \({\frac{1}{\sqrt3}}\)
Solution:
(d) We have, l = m = n = k
We know that l² + m² + n² = 1
⇒ k² + k² + k² = 1 ⇒ 3k² = 1
⇒ k² = \(\frac{1}{3}\)
⇒ k = ±\({\frac{1}{\sqrt3}}\)

Question 11.
The order and degree of the differential equation \(\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}+(\frac{dy}{dx})^{\frac{1}{4}}\) + x ^1/5 = 0 respectively, are
(a) 2 and 4
(b) 2 and 2
(c) 2 and 3
(d) 3 and 3

(d) 4, -3, 0
Solution:
(d) Given, equation of line can be written as

Question 13.
Which of the following is not a homogeneous function of x and y ?
(a) x² + 2xy
(b) 2x – y
(c) cos²(\(\frac{y}{x}\) + \(\frac{y}{x}\)
(d) sin x – cos y
Solution:
(d) Since, sin x-cos y can’t expressed in the form x ⁿ (\(\frac{y}{x}\)) or y ⁿ h(\(\frac{x}{y}\)), therefore, it is not a homogeneous function.

Question 14.
The derivative of \(\frac{x^3}{cos x}\) is, when x = 0
(a) \(\frac{x^3}{sin x}\)
(b) 1
(c) 0
(d) \(\frac{x^2}{cos^2 x}\)
Solution:

Question 15.
If y = x(x – 3)² decreases for the values of x given by
(a) 1 < x < 3
(b) x < 0
(c) x > 0
(d) 0 < x < \(\frac{3}{2}\)
Solution:
(a) We have, y = x(x – 3)²
∴ \(\frac{dx}{dy}\) = x . 2(x – 3) . 1 + (x – 3)² . 1
= 2x² – 6x + x² + 9 – 6x = 3x² – 12x + 9
= 3(x² – x + 3)= 3(x – 3)(x – 1)

So, y = x(x – 3)² decreases from (1, 3).
[since, y’ < 0 for all x ∈ (1, 3), hence y is decreasing on (1, 3)]

Question 16.
If a die is thrown and a card is selected at random from a deck of 52 playing cards, then the probability of getting an even number on the die and a spade card equals
(a) \(\frac{1}{4}\)
(b) \(\frac{1}{2}\)
(c) \(\frac{1}{8}\)

Solution:
(c) Let the event A and B are getting an even number on die and getting spade card, respectively.

Question 17.

(b) 2
(c) ± 3
(d) ± √2
Solution:

Question 18.
The interval in which y = x² e ^-x is increasing, is
(a) (-∞, ∞)
(b) (-2, 0)
(c) (2, ∞)
(d) (0, 2)
Solution:
(d) Given, y = x²e ^-x
On differentiating w.r.t. x, we get
\(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = x² e ^-x (-1) + e ^-x (2x)
= xe ^-x (-x + 2) = xe ^-x (2 – x)
For increasing function, \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) > 0
⇒ xe ^-x (2 – x) > 0

Case I
⇒ x > 0 and 2 – x > 0
⇒ x > 0 and x < 2
⇒ 0 < x < 2

Case II
⇒ x < 0 and 2 – x < 0
⇒ x < 0 and x > 2
Hence, there is no value of x exist.
Clearly, it is increasing in (0, 2).

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) Let A = {2, 4, 6} and B = {3, 5, 7, 9} and defined a function f = {(2, 3), (4, 5), (6, 7)} from A to B. Then, f is not onto.
Reason (R) A function f: A → B is said to be onto, if every element of B is the image of some elements of A under f.
Solution:
(b) Assertion Given that,
A = {2, 4, 6},
B = {3, 5, 7,9}
and R = {(2, 3), (4, 5), (6, 7)}
Here, f(2) = 3, f(4) = 5 and f(6) = 7
It can be seen that the images of distinct elements of A under f are distinct.

Hence, function f is one-one but f is not onto, as 9 e 8 does not have a pre-image in A.
Hence, both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.

Question 20.
Assertion (A) Consider the linear programming problem.
Maximize Z = 4x + y, subject to constraints are x + y ≤ 50, x + y ≥ 100, and x, y ≥ 0. Then, maximum value of Z is 50.
Reason (R) If the shaded region is not bounded, then maximum value cannot be determined.
Solution:
(d) Assertion Given, maximize Z = 4x + y
and x + y < 50, x + y > 100; x, y > 0

Hence, it is clear from the graph that it is not bounded region. So, maximum value cannot be determined.
Hence, Assertion is false but Reason is true.

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

Question 21.

Solution:

Question 22.

Solution:

Question 23.
Evaluate ∫e ^x (cos x – sin x)dx.
Or
Evaluate ∫xe ^x dx.
Solution:
Let l = ∫e ^x (cos x-s\nx)dx
⇒ I = ∫e ^x {cos x + (-sin x)}dx
Let f(x) = cos x ⇒ f'(x) = -sin x
We know that ∫e ^x {f{x)+ f'(x)}dx = e ^x f(x) + C
∴ From Eq, (i), we get
l = e ^x cos x + C
Or

Question 24.
Let A and B be two events of the same sample space S of an experiment, then prove that 0 ≤ P (A/B) ≤ 1, B ≠ Φ.

This section comprises of short answer type questions (SA) of 3 marks each

Question 26.

Solution:
For f(x) to be continuous at x = 0, we must have

Question 27.
Show that the relation S in set
A = {x ∈ Z : 0 ≤ x ≤ 12} given by
S = {(a, b): a, b ∈ A, |a – b| is divisible by 4}
is an equivalence relation. Find the set of all elements related to 1.
Solution:
Given relation is
S = {(a, b): |a – b| is divisible by 4 and a, b ∈ A} and A = {x : x ∈ Z and 0 < x < 12}
Now, A can be written as
A = {0, 1, 2, 3 12}
Reflexive As for any x ∈ A, we get
|x – x| = 0, which is divisible by 4.
⇒ (x, x) ∈ S, ∀ x ∈ A
Therefore, S is reflexive.
Symmetric As for any (x, y) ∈ S, we get | x – y| is divisible by 4. [by using definition of given relation]
⇒ | x – y| = 4λ., for some λ ∈ Z
⇒ |y – x| = 4λ, for some λ ∈ Z
⇒ (y, x) ∈ S
Thus, (x, y) ∈ S
⇒ (y, x) ∈ S, ∀ x, y ∈ A
Therefore, S is symmetric.

Transitive For any (x, y) ∈ S and (y, z) ∈ S, we get |x – y| is divisible by 4 and |y – z| is divisible by 4.
[by using definition of given relation]
⇒ | x – y| = 4λ and |y – z| = 4µ, for some λ, µ ∈ Z.
Now, x – z = (x – y) + (y – z)
= ± 4λ ± 4µ = ± 4 (λ + µ)
⇒ |x – z| is divisible by 4.
⇒ (x, z) ∈ S
Thus, (x, y) ∈ S and (y, z) ∈ S
⇒ (x, z) ∈ S, ∀ x, y, z ∈ A
Therefore, S is transitive.
Since, S is reflexive, symmetric and transitive, so it is an equivalence relation.
Now, set of all elements related to 1 is {1, 5, 9}.

Question 28.
Evaluate ∫tan(x – θ)tan(x + θ) tan 2xdx.
Or
Evaluate \(\frac{sin x – xcos x}{x(x+sin x)}\)dx
Solution:
We know that

Question 29.
Sketch the region {(x, y) : x = \(\sqrt{4-y^2}\)} and F-axis. Find the area of the region using integration.
Solution:
Given region is {(x, y): x = \({\sqrt{4-y^2}}\)} and Y-axis.
We have, x = \({\sqrt{4-y^2}}\) ⇒ x² = 4 – y² ⇒ x² + y² = 4
This represents the equation of circle having centre (0, 0) and radius 2.
But original equation isx = \({\sqrt{4-y^2}}\), so x is positive. It means that we have to take a curve to the right side of the Y-axis.

Thus, only semi-circle is formed to the right side of the Y-axis.
Since, the region is symmetrical about X-axis.
∴ Area of shaded region,

Question 30.
Find the intervals in which the function f (x) = 20 – 9x + 6x² – x³ is
(i) strictly increasing.
(ii) strictly decreasing.
Solution:
Given function is f(x) = 20 – 9x + 6x² -x³.
On differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get
f'(x) = – 9 + 12x – 3x²
On putting f(x) = 0, we get
-9+ 12x – 3x² = 0
⇒ -3 (x² – 4x + 3) = 0
⇒ -3 (x – 1)(x – 3) = 0
⇒ (x – 1)(x – 3) = 0
⇒ x – 1 = 0 or x – 3 = 0
⇒ x = 1 or 3
Now, we find intervals in which f(x) is strictly increasing or strictly decreasing.

Interval	f'(x) = -3 (x – 1) (x- 3)	Sign of f'(x)
x < 1	(-)(-)(-)	– ve
1 < x < 3	(-)(+)(-)	+ ve
x > 3	(-)(+)(+)	– ve

We know that a function f{x) is said to be strictly increasing when f’(x) > 0 and it is said to be strictly decreasing, if f'(x) < 0. So, the given function f(x) is
(i) strictly increasing on the interval (1, 3).
(ii) strictly decreasing on the intervals (-∞, 1) and (3, ∞).

Question 31.
Three cards are drawn successively without replacement from a pack of 52 well-shuffled cards. What is the probability that first two cards are king and the third card drawn is an ace?
Or
A and B are independent events. The probability that both A and B occur is \(\frac{1}{8}\) and the probability that neither occurs is \(\frac{3}{8}\). Find P(A) and P(B).
Solution:
There are 52 cards in a pack.
∴ n(S) = 52
Let A = Event that the card drawn is king
and B = Event that the card drawn is an ace.
Now, P(A) = \(\frac{4}{52}\)
P(\(\frac{A}{A}\)) = Probability of drawing second king when one king has already been drawn
= \(\frac{3}{51}\) [∵ remaining cards are (52 – 1) = 51]

P(\(\frac{B}{AA}\)) = Probability of drawing third card to be an A ace when two kings have already been drawn
\(\frac{4}{50}\)

Now, probability of getting first two cards are king and third card is an ace = P(A ∩ A ∩ B)

Question 32.

system of equations
x – y + z = 4, x – 2y – 2z = 9
and 2x + y + 3z = 1.
Solution:
We have, f(x) = x² – 4x + 7
∴ f(A) = A² – 4A + 7l ₂

Hence proved
Now, f'(A) = 0
⇒ A² = 4A + 7l ₂ =0 =
⇒ A² = 4A – 7l ₂
⇒ A³ = A²A = (4A – 7l ₂ )A = 4A² – 7l ₂ A
⇒ A³ = 4(4A – 7l ₂ ) – 7A [using A² = 4A – 7l ₂ ]
⇒ A³ = 9A – 28l ₂
⇒ A ⁴ = A³A = (9A – 28l ₂ )A
⇒ A ⁴ = 9A² – 28A = 9(4A – 7l ₂ ) – 28A [using A² = 4A – 7l ₂ ]
⇒ A ⁴ = 36A – 63l ₂ – 28A = 8A – 63l ₂
⇒ A ⁵ = A ⁴ A = (84 – 63l ₂ )A = 8A² – 63l ₂ A
⇒ A ⁵ = 8(4A – 7l ₂ ) – 63A = -31A – 56l ₂ [using A² = 4A – 7l ₂ ]


On comparing corresponding elements, we get
x = 3, y = -2 and z = -1

Question 33.
Solve \(\frac{dy}{dx}+\frac{1}{x}=\frac{e^y}{x}\).
Or
Solve x\(\frac{dy}{dx}\) + v – x + xy cot x = 0
Solution:

⇒ log(1 – e ^-y ) = log x + log C
⇒ log(1 – e ^-y ) = (log Cx) ⇒ 1 – e ^-y = Cx
⇒ e ^-y = 1 – Cx ⇒ -y = log(1 – Cx)
⇒ y + log(1 – Cx) = 0
Or
x\(\frac{dy}{dx}\) + y(1 + x cot x) = x dx
⇒ \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) + y(\(\frac{1}{x}\) + cot x) = 1 ….(i)
The given differential equation is a linear differential equation of the form \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) + Py = Q …(ii)
On comparing Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get

are (2λ – 2, λ + 1, 4λ).
Now, DR’s of AM are 2λ – 3, λ + 2 and 4λ – 2.
Since, AM ⊥ BC. therefore
2(2λ – 3) + 1(λ + 2) + 4(4λ – 2) = 0 [∵ DR’s of line BC are 2, 1, 4]

It is given that the length of BC is 5 units.

Then, given equation becomes u + v = 1
On differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get

∴ Number of corner points are 4.
The coordinates of the corner points A, B, C and 0 are (16, 0), (8, 12), (0, 20) and (0, 0), respectively.

Corner points	Z = 22x + 18y
(0, 0)	0 (Minimum)
(16, 0)	352
(8, 12)	392 (Maximum)
(0, 20)	360

Z is maximum at the point (8, 12).
∴ To get maximum profit 8 electronic sewing machines and 12 manually operated sewing machines should be purchased by the dealer. Hence,
Hence Z _(max) = 392
