Solution:
(a) We have, P(A ∩ \(\overline{\mathrm{B}}\)) = P(A) – P(\(\overline{\mathrm{B}}\))
[∵ A and 6 are independent events]
⇒ P(A ∩ \(\overline{\mathrm{B}}\)) = P(A) . [1 – P(B)] = P(A) – P(A) . P(B)

Question 4.
\(\int_0^\pi\frac{xdx}{1+sinx}\)
(a) π
(b) 2π
(c) 3π
(d) π/2
Solution:

Question 5.
If I be any interval disjoint from [-1, 1], then the function f given by f(x) = x + \(\frac{1}{x}\) is
(a) strictly decreasing on I
(b) strictly increasing on I
(c) decreasing on I
(d) Only (a) and (c) are true
Solution:
(b) Given, f(x) = x + \(\frac{1}{x}\) ⇒ f'(x) = 1 – \(\frac{1}{x^2}=\frac{x^2+1}{x^2}\)
[on differentiating w.r.t. x we get]
If x< -1, then f'(x) > 0. If x > 1, then f'(x) > 0
∴ f(x) is strictly increasing on interval / disjoint from [-1, 1]

Question 6.
Direction cosines of the vector

Solution:

Question 7.
The least value of a, such the function f given by f(x) = x² + ax + 1 is strictly increasing on (1, 2) is
(a) -1
(b) -2
(c) 0
(d) 1
Solution:
(b) We find f'(x), then for 1 < x < 2, put f'(x) > 0 and find the required least value of a.
Given, f(x) = x² + ax + 1 ⇒ f'(x) = 2x + a
In interval (1, 2), 1 < x < 2 ⇒ 2 < 2x < 4
⇒ (2 + a) < (2x + a) < (4 + a) Since, f(x) is strictly increasing function, then (2 + a) > 0 [for this f'(x) > 0 and (2x + a) > (2 + a)]
∴ (2 + a) > 0
⇒ a > -2
Hence, the least value of a = – 2.

Question 8.
If \((\hat{i}+3\hat{j}+9\hat{k})\times(3\hat{i}-\lambda\hat{j}+\mu\hat{k})\) = 0, then λ + µ is equal to
(a) 10
(b) 18
(c) 0
(d) 1
Solution:

3µ + 9λ = 0, – µ + 27 = 0 and -λ – 9 = 0
⇒ µ = 27 and λ = -9
Also, the values of µ and λ satisfy the equation 3µ + 9λ = 0.
∴ λ + µ = -9 + 27 = 18

Solution:

Question 14.

to
(a) 1
(b) 2
(c) -3
(d) -5
Solution:

⇒ x + y = 2 and x – y = 4

∴ 2² – 4² = 4xy
⇒ 4xy = 4 – 16 = -12 ⇒ xy = -3

Question 19.
Assertion (A) Scalar matrix

Reason (R) Every identity matrix is not a scalar matrix.
Solution:

matrix, when k =1.
But every identity matrix is clearly a scalar matrix as identity matrix is a diagonal matrix in which all the diagonal elements are equal.
Hence, Assertion is true but Reason is false.

Question 20.
Assertion (A) The relation R on the set N × N defined by (a, b)R(c, d) ⇔ a + d = b + c, for all (a, b), (c, d) ∈ N × N is an equivalence relation.
Reason (R) Any relation is an equivalence relation, if it is reflexive, symmetric and transitive.
Solution:
(a) Let (a, b) be an arbitrary element of N × N.
Then, (a, b) ∈ N × N
⇒ a, b ∈ N
⇒ a + b = b + a [by commutative of addition in N]
⇒ (a, b)R(a, b)
⇒ R is reflexive on N × N.
Let (a, b), (c, d) ∈ N × N be such that (a, b) R(c, d).
⇒ a + d = b + c
⇒ b + c = a + d
⇒ c + b = d + a
⇒ (c, d)R(a, b)
⇒ R is symmetric on N × N.
Now, let (a, b), (c, d), (e, f) ∈ N × N, such that (a, b)R(c,d) and (c, d)R(e, f).
∵ (a, b)R(c,d)
⇒ a + d= to + c …(i)
∵ (c, d)R(e, f)
⇒ c + f = d + e …(ii)
On adding Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get (a + d) + (c + f) = (b + c) + (d + e)
⇒ a + f = b + e
⇒ (a, b)R(e, f)
Thus, (a, b) R(c, d) and (c, d) R(e, f).
⇒ (a, b)R(e, f)for all (a, b),(c, d), (e, f) ∈ N × N
⇒ R is transitive on N × N.
⇒ R is an equivalence relation on N × N

If AB = BA for any two square matrices, then prove by mathematical induction that (AB) ⁿ = A ⁿ B ⁿ .
Or
Solution:
Let P(n): (AB) ⁿ = A ⁿ B ⁿ
∴ P(1) : (AB)¹ = A¹B¹ ⇒ AB = AB
So, P(1) is true.
Now, P(k): (AB) ^k = A ^k B ^k , k ∈ N
So, P(k) is true, whenever P(k +1) is true.
∴ P(AB) ^k+1 = A ^k+1 B ^k+1
⇒ A ^k B ^k .BA = A ^k B ^k+1 ⇒ A ^k . A . B ^k+1 = A ^k+1 B ^k+1
⇒ (A.B) ^k+1 = A ^k+1 B ^k+1
So, P(k + 1)is true for all n ∈ N, whenever P(/r)is true. By mathematical induction, (AB) = A ⁿ B ⁿ
is true for all a ∈ N. Hence proved.
Or

Hence proved.

Given curves are

Eq. (ii) represents the line parallel to V-axis and passes through the point (- 3, 0).
Eq. (iii) represents the line parallel to Y-axis and passes through the point (3, 0).
Eq. (iv) represents X-axis.

Let \(\vec{c}=\hat{a}+\hat{b}\) = a + b. Then, according to given condition c is a unit vector i. e.|\(\vec{c}\)| = 1 …(i)
To show |\(\hat{a}-\hat{b}\)| = √3

Question 29.
Find ∫\(\frac{x^2+x+1}{(x+1)^2(x+2)}\)dx.
Or
Evaluate ∫\(\frac{sin(x-\alpha)}{sin(x+\alpha)}\)dx
Solution:

⇒ x² + x + 1 = A(x + 1)(x + 2) + B (x + 2) + C(x + 1)²
⇒ x² + x + 1 = A(x² + 3x + 2) + B(x + 2 ) + C(x² + 2x + 1)
⇒ x² + x + 1 = (A + C)x² + (3A + B + 2C)x + (2A + 2B + C)
On comparing the coefficients of like powers from both sides, we get
A + C = 1
3A + B + 2C = 1 and 2A + 2B + C = 1
On solving these equations, we get
A = -2, B = 1 and C = 3
From Eq.(i), we get

and A + C = 0 ⇒ A = -C
On solving above equations, we get
A = \(\frac{1}{2}\), B = \(\frac{3}{2}\) and C = – \(\frac{1}{2}\)
On substituting the values of A, B and C in Eq. (ii), we get

Question 33.

Solution:

Question 34.
Determine graphically the minimum value of the objective function
Z = – 50x + 20y, subject to constraints are
2x – y ≥ – 5, 3x + y ≥ 3, 2 x – 3y ≤ 12 and x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0.
Or
Find graphically, the maximum value of Z = 2x + 5y, subject to constraints given below
2 x + 4y ≤ 8, 3x + y ≤ 6,
x + y ≤ 4, x > 0, y≥0.
Solution:
Given objective function is
Minimise Z = – 50x + 20y
Subject to constraints, 2x – y ≥ – 5 …..(i)
3x + y ≥ 3 …..(ii)
2x – 3y ≤ 12 …..(iii)
and x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0 …..(iv)
Table for line 2x – y = -5 is

x	-5/2	0
y	0	5

So, the line passes through the points (\(\frac{-5}{2}\), 0) and (0, 5).
On putting (0, 0) in the inequality 2x – y ≥ -5, we get
0 – 0 ≥ -5
⇒ 0 ≥ -5, which is true.
So, the half plane is towards the origin.
Table for line 3x + y = 3 is

x	0	1
y	3	0

So, the line passes through the points (0, 3)and(1, 0). On putting (0, 0) in the inequality 3x + y ≥ 3, we get
0 + 0 ≥ 3
⇒ 0 ≥ 3, which is not true.
So, the half plane is away from the origin.
Table for line 2x – 3y = 12 is

x	0	6
y	-4	0

So, the line passes through the points (0, -4) and (6, 0).
On putting (0, 0)in the inequality 2x – 3y ≤ 12, we get
0 – 0 ≤ 12
⇒ 0 ≤ 12, which is true.
So, the half plane is towards the origin.
Also, x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0, so the region lies in the 1st quadrant.
On drawing the graph of each linear equation, we get the following graph. In first quadrant, these equations has no intersection point.

which gives the feasible region and it is unbounded. The corner points of feasible region are A(0, 5), B(0, 3), C(1, 0)and D(6, 0).
The value of Z at corner points are given below

Corner points	Z = -50x + 20y
A(0, 5)	Z = – 50(0)+ 20(5) = 100
B(0, 3)	Z = – 50(0) + 20(3) = 60
C(1, 0)	Z = – 50(1) + 20(0) = – 50
D( 6, 0)	Z = – 50(6) + 20(0) = – 300

Here, feasible region is unbounded so the minimum and maximum value may or may not exist.
Now, we draw a dotted line of inequation
– 50x + 20y < -300 or – 5x + 2y < -30

Here, we see that half plane determined by – 5x + 2y < – 30 has a point in common with the feasible region.
Hence, no minimum value exists.
Or
We have the following LPR,
Maximise, Z = 2x + 5y
Subject to constraints,
2x + 4y < 8 or x + 2y ≤ 4
3x + y ≤ 6
x + y ≤ 4
and x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0
Now, considering the inequations as equations, we
get x + 2y = 4 …(i)
3x + y = 6 …(ii)
and x + y = 4 …(iii)
Table for line x + 2y = 4 is

x	4	0
y	0	2

So, the line passes through (4, 0) and (0, 2).
On putting (0, 0) in the inequality x + 2y ≤ 4, we get
0 + 0 ≤ 4 [which is true]
So, the half plane is towards the origin.
Table for line 3x + y = 6 is

x	2	0
y	0	6

So, the line passes through (2, 0) and (0, 6).
On putting (0, 0) in the inequality 3x + y ≤ 6, we get
0 + 0 ≤ 6 [which is true]
So, the half plane is towards the origin.
Table for line x + y = 4 is

x	4	0
y	0	4

On putting (0, 0) in the inequality x + y ≤ 4, we get
0 + 0 ≤ 4 [which is true]
So, the half plane is towards the origin.
Also, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0 , so the region lies in the 1st quadrant.
The graphical representation of the above system of inequations is given below

Clearly, the feasible region is OABCO.
The intersection point of lines (i) and (ii) is B(\(\frac{8}{5}\), \(\frac{6}{5}\))
Thus, the corner points are
O(0, 0), A(2, 0), B(\(\frac{8}{5}\), \(\frac{6}{5}\)), C(0, 2).
The values of Z at corner points are as follows

Hence, the maximum value of Z is 10.

Question 35.
If y = (log x) ^x + x ^{log x} , then find \(\frac{dy}{dx}\).
Solution:
We have, y = (logx) ^x + x ^{log x}
Let u = (log x) ^x and v = x ^{log x}
Then, y = u + v
⇒ \(\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{du}{dx}+\frac{dy}{dv}\) …….(i)
Consider, u = (logx) ^x
On taking log both sides, we get
log u = log(logx) ^x = xlog(log x)
On differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get

Now, v = x ^{log x}
On taking log both sides, we get
log v = log(x ^{log x} )
= (log x) (log x)
= (log x)²
On differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get

Question 37.
In a classroom, a teacher teaches a topic ‘Relation on a set’, which is defined below.

A relation Ron a set A is said to be an equivalence relation on A iff it is
I. Reflexive i.e. aRa or (a, a) ∈ R,∀ a ∈ A.
II. Symmetric i.e. aRb ⇒ bRa
or(a, b) ∈ R ⇒ (b, a) ∈ R, where a,b ∈ A.
III. Transitive i.e. if aRb and bRc, then aRc
or (a, b) ∈ R and (b, c) ∈ R
⇒ (a, c) ∈ R, where a, b, c ∈ A.
Based on the above information, answer the following questions.
(i) If the relation R = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (2, 2), (2, 3), (3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3)} defined on the set A = {1, 2, 3}, then show that R is reflexive but neither symmetric nor transitive.
(ii) If the relation R = {(1, 2), (2, 1), (1, 3), (3, 1)} defined on the set A = {1, 2, 3}, then show that R is symmetric but neither reflexive nor transitive.
(iii) If the relation R on the set N of all natural numbers defined as R = {(x, y): y – x + 5 and x < 4}, then show that R is neither reflexive, nor symmetric nor transitive.
Or
The relation R in the set Z of integers given by R = {(a, b): 2 divides (a – b)}, show that R is an equivalence relation.
Solution:
(i) ∵ (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3) ∈ R
⇒ R is reflexive on A.
Now, (1, 2) efl but (2, 1) ∈ R
⇒ R is not symmetric on A.
Now, (2, 3) eRand (3, 1) eRbut (2, 1) ∈ R
⇒ R is not transitive on A.

(ii) ∵ j(d, .1) (2, 2) and (3, 3) are not in R.
⇒ R is not reflexive on A.
∵ (1, 2) ∈ R ⇒ (2, 1) eR and (1, 3) ∈ R.
⇒ (3, 1) ∈ R fl is symmetric.
∵ (1, 2) ∈ R and (2, 1) ∈ R but (1, 1) ∉ R
∴ R is not transitive on A.

(iii) Given, R={(x, y):y = x + 5 and x < 4}, where x, y ∈ N
R = {( 1,6), (2, 7), (3, 8)}
∵ (1, 1), (2, 2) and (3, 3) are not in R.
So, R is not reflexive.
Now, (1, 6) ∈ R but (6, 1) ∉ R
⇒ R is not symmetric.
Now, (1, 6) ∈ R and there is no order pair in R which has 6 as the first element.
Similar is the case for (2, 7) and (3, 8).
⇒ R is not transitive.
Or
Given, R={(a,b) : 2 divides(a – d)}
and Z = Set of integers
Reflexive Let aeZ be any arbitrary element.
Now, if (a, a) ∈ R, then 2 divides a-a, which is true.
So, R is reflexive.
Symmetric Let a.b ∈ Z, such that (a, b) ∈ R.
2 divides (a – b).
⇒ 2 divides [-(a – b)]
⇒ 2 divides (b – a) ⇒ (b, a) ∈ R
So, R is symmetric.
Transitive Let a,b,c ∈ Z, such that (a, b) ∈ R and (b.c) ∈ R.
⇒ a – b and b – c both are divisible by 2.
⇒ a-b + to -c is divisible by 2.
⇒ (a – c) is divisible by 2 ⇒ (a, c) ∈ R
So, R is transitive.
Thus, R is reflexive, symmetric and transitive.
Hence, R is an equivalence relation.
