Reason (R). Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes(a), (b), (c)
and (d) as given below.
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 and R is true.
e) Both A and R are false.
Assertion(A): A relation R = {(1, 1), (1, 3), (3, 1), (3, 3), (3, 5)} defined on the set A =
{1,3,5} is reflexive.
Reason (R): A relation R on the set A is said to be transitive if for. (a, b) ∈R and (b,
c)∈R, we have (a,c)∈R.

2. The Government of India is planning to fix a hoarding board at the face of a
building on the road of a busy market for awareness on COVID-19 protocol. Ram,
Robert and Rahim are the three engineers who are working on this project. "A" is
considered to be a person viewing the hoarding board 20 metres away from the
building, standing at the edge of a pathway nearby. Ram, Robert and Rahim
suggested to the firm to place the hoarding board at three different locations
namely C, D and E. "C" is at the height of 10 metres from the ground level.
For the viewer A, the angle of elevation of "D" is double the angle of elevation of "C".
The angle of elevation of "E" is triple the angle of elevation of "C" for the same
viewer. Look at the figure given and based on the above information answer the

4. Solution:
⇒ 2x2 - 8x + 8 = 0
⇒ x2- 4x + 4 = 0
⇒ (x - 2)2 = 0.
Hence, x = 2.
5. Solution:
2 tan-1(sinx) = tan-1 (2 secx)
⇒ tan -1 (2sec x tan x) = tan-1 (2sec x)
⇒ 2 sec x tan x = 2 sec x
tan x = 1 [∵ sec x ≠ 0 ]

Assertion and Reason Answers:
1. (d) A is false and R is true.
Solution :
Given R = {(1,1),(1,3),(3,1),(3,3),(3,5)}
We know that Relation 'R' is reflexive on set A if ∀a∈A,(a,a)∈R
Here set A={1,3,5}
(1,1)∈R,(3,3)∈R
but (5,5)∉R
∴R is not reflexive
∴ Assertion A is false By definition of transition Relation, It is clear that given Reason R is
true. Hence option (d) is the correct answer.

2.(c) A is true but R is false.
Solution:
Given R={(a,b):|a−b|<2}
= {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4), (5, 5), (1, 2), (2, 1), (2, 3), (3, 2), (3, 4). (4, 3), (4, 5), (5,
4)}.
Here (1,1)∈R, (2,2)∈R, (3,3)∈R, (4,4)∈R, (5,5)∈R
⇒ Relation R is reflexive on set A = {1,2,3,4,5}
∴ Assertion A is true We know that relation R is reflexive if (a,a) ∈R ∀ a ∈A
∴ Given Reason R is false Hence option (c) is the correct answer.
