Explanation: a sin θ + b cos θ = +

sin θ cos θ
⇔  a sin2 θ cos θ + b cos2 θ + sin θ

= a cos θ + b sin θ

⇔  a(1 - cos2 θ) cos θ + b(1 - sin2 θ) sin θ

= a cos θ + b sin θ

⇔  -(a cos3 θ + b sin3 θ) = 0

Explanation: Given: B getting number not less than A means B can get number on dice greater than or equal to A.

For throwing A and B on dice, the number of elements in the sample space is 6 ×  6 = 36 i.e. n(S) = 36

Let E be the event of "B getting number not less than A", So it can happen in 21 ways out of 36 ways.

The ways are E = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6),(4,
4),(4, 5),(4, 6), (5, 5),(5, 6), (6, 6)} i.e. n(E) = 21

Therefore, P(E) =  =

5. (c) (7, - 2)

Explanation: Let F be the midpoint on AC

x1 + 1 5 − x1 + 2
Hence the coordinate of F is 2
 and  2

This point lies on x = 4

x1 + 1
Therefore  2
= 4

Therefore x1 = 7 

Therefore y = 5 - 7 = -2

Hence the coordinates of B is (7, -2)

6. (d) A

Explanation: Let A = {1, 2, 3, 4} and B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

Here A  ∩  B = {1, 2, 3, 4}

Now A  ∪  (A  ∩  B) = {1, 2, 3, 4} = A

7. (c) a straight line parallel to y axis

Explanation: |z - 2| = |z - 6|

⇒  |x - 2 + iy| = |x - 6 + iy|

√ √
⇒   (x − 2) 2 + y 2 =  (x − 6) 2 + y 2 

⇒  x2 + 4 - 4x + y2 = x2 + 36 - 12x + y2

⇒  8x = 32

⇒  x = 4

We have any line of the form x = a constant is a line parallel to Y-axis.

Let y = log5 (3x2 - 4x + 5)

⇒ 5y = 3x2 - 4x + 5

⇒ 3x2 - 4x + 5 - 5y = 0

For x to be real, b2 - 4ac ≥ 0

∴ 16 - 12(5 - 5y) ≥ 0

Since x is an integer the solution set = {x : x > 2, x  ∈  Z} = {3, 4, 5, 6, 7 .....}

Now x + 4 < 10

⇒  x + 4 - 4 < 10 - 4

⇒  x < 6

Since x is an integer the solution set = {x : x > 6, x  ∈  Z} = {.... -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

Hence the integer values which satisfy both the inequalities are {3, 4, 5, 6, 7 .....}  ∩  {.... -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5} = {3, 4, 5}

11. (c) 9C4

Explanation: Let

x1 = number of stations before 1st halting station

x2 = between 1st and 2nd

x3 = between 2nd and 3rd

x4 = between 3rd and 4th

and x5 on the right of the 4th stations

Then, x1  ≥  0, x5  ≥  0, x2, x3, x4  ≥  1

such that x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 + x5 = 8 ...(i)

The total number of ways is the number of solutions of the above equation

Let y2 = x2 - 1, y3 = x3 - 1, y4 = x4 - 1. Then, equation (i) reduces to

x1 + y2 + y3 + y4 + x5 = 5, x1, y2, y3, y4  ≥  0 ...(ii)

The number of solutions to this equation is 5+5-1C5-1 = 9C4

There is bijection between two sets containing solutions of (i) and (ii)

⇒  Required number of solutions to (i) = 9C4

12. (c) negative

Explanation: Since AM > GM

(b+c−a) + (c+a−b)
∴  2
 > (b + c - a) (c + a - b)1/2

⇒  c > [(b + c - a) (c + a - b)]1/2 .....(i)

Similary b > [(a + b - c) (b + c - a)]1/2 ....(ii)

and a > [(a + b - c) (c + a - b)]1/2 ....(iii)

On multiplying Eqs. (i), (ii) and (iii), we get

abc > (a + b - c) (b + c-a) (c+ a - b)

Hence,

(a + b - c)(b + c - a) (c+ a - b) - abc < 0

19. (c) A is true but R is false.

Explanation: Assertion is true

∵ It is one of the observation of binomial expansion.

Reason:

Not true. AS sum of indices of a and b in each term is n.

20. (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Explanation: Both Assertion and reason are true because R defined on the set A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}  by R = {(a, b) : |a2 -
b2 | < 9}

For example: |12 - 22| = 3 < 9 so (1 ,2)  ∈  R and this condition is true for the remaining element of R.

21. Here we have the two functions, f(x) = √x and g(x) = x defined in the domain R + ∪ {0}.

Therefore, (f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)  = √x − x

22. We have, f(x) = (x - 1)(x - 2)

24. Number of elements in set A n(A) = 3 and number of elements in set B, n(B) = 5

The number of elements in A  ∪  B is n(A  ∪  B).

Now for elements in A  ∪  B to be maximum, there should not be any intersection between both sets that is A and B both
sets must be disjoint sets as shown fig.

Therefore, the number of elements in A  ∪  B is n(A  ∪  B) = n(A) + n(B)

⇒  n(A  ∪  B) = 3 + 5

⇒  n(A  ∪  B) = 8
Therefore,the  maximum number of elements in A  ∪  B is 8.

m = tan (180o - 60o)  ⇒ − tan60 ∘ = − (√3)

(tan (180° - θ) is in II quadrant, tanx is negative)

Now we have equation of line passing through origin is given as y = mx

y = − (√3)x

(√3)x + y = 0

Therefore, the  required equation of line is (√3)x + y = 0

26. i. We have, f(x)  =

√x − [ x ]
Domain of f

We know that, 0  ≤  x - [x] < 1 all x  ∈  R.

Also, x -[x] = 0 for x  ∈  Z.

1
Now, f(x)  =  is defined, if

√x − [ x ]
x -[x] > 0 [ ∵  x - [x] = 0 for x ∈  Z and 0 < x - [x] < 1 for x  ∈  R - Z]

⇒  x  ∈  R - Z

Hence, domain of f  = R - Z

Range of f

1
Put f(x) = y  ⇒ y=

√x − [ x ]
Since, x ∉ Z

∴  [x] < x < [x] + 1

⇒  [x] - [x] < x - [x] < 1

⇒  0 < x - [x] < 1

⇒ 0 < √x − [x] < 1

1
⇒ > 1

√x − [ x ]
⇒  y > 1

∴  Range of f = [1, ∞)

ii. We have, f(x)  =

√x + [ x ]
Domain of f

We know that,

{
> 0,  for all x > 0
x + [x] = 0,  for x = 0

< 0,  for all x < 0

Now x + [x] > 0  ⇒  x > 0

⇒ x ∈ (0, ∞)

1
Thus, f(x)  = is defined for all x lying in open interval (0, ∞).

√x + [ x ]
Hence, domain of f = (0, ∞)

Any point on line BC is to the form

Direction Ratios of BC is (2-0, -3+1, -1-3) = (2, -2, -4)

B: two heads and one tail show = {HHT, HTH, THH}

C: three tails show = {TTT}

D: a head shows on the first coin - {HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT}

(i) We know that if two events do not have common element

i.e., if intersection of two event is   ,

ϕ
then those events are called mutually exclusive events.

Here,  A ∩ B = ϕ,   B ∩ C = ϕ,  A ∩ C = ϕ , C ∩ D = ϕ

Hence, events A and B, events B and C, events A and C, events C and D

are mutually exclusive events. 

(ii) A ={HHH}, Here cardinal number  = 1

∴     A is a simple event.

Since, C = {TTT}, Here also cardinal number = 1

∴    C is a simple event.

(iii) We see that,  B = {HHT, HTH, THH}, 

and D = {HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT}.

Since cardinal numbers of events B and D are respectively 3 and 4,

So, B and D are compound events.

⇒ 30 − 21 = x + y or x + y = 9 ...........(i)

Now prepare the following table we have,

xi x 1 − xˉ = x 1 − 6 (x1 − xˉ ) 2
5 5 - 6 = -1 (-1)2 = 1

7 7-6=1 (1)2  = 1

9 9 - 6 = 3  (3)2 = 

x x-6 (x - 6)2

y y-6 (y - 6)2

    (
∑ x i − xˉ )2 = 11 + (x - 6)2 + (y - 6)2
2
∑ ( x1 − xˉ ) 2
So, Variance, σ =

n
11 + ( x − 6 )2 + ( y − 6 )2
4= 5

⇒  20 = 11 + (x2 + 36 - 12x) + (y2 + 36 - 12y)

⇒  20 - 11 = x2 + 36 - 12x+ y2 + 36 - 12y

⇒  x2 + y2 + 72 - 12(9) - 9 = 0 from (i)]

⇒  x2 + y2 + 63 - 108 = 0

⇒  x2 + y2 = 45 ............... (ii)

From eq.(i)

Now, x + y = 9

(x + y)2 = (9)2

⇒  x2 + y2 + 2xy = 81

⇒  45 + 2xy = 81 [from (ii)]

⇒  2xy = 81 - 45  ⇒  2xy = 36

18
⇒  xy =18  ⇒ x =  .......... (iii)

y
After Putting the value of x in eq. (i) we get

18 18 + y 2
⇒ +y=9⇒ = 9  ⇒  y2 + 18 = 9y

y y
⇒  y2 - 9y + 18 = 0  ⇒  y2 - 6y - 3y + 18 = 0

⇒  y(y - 6) - 3(y - 6) = 0  ⇒  (y - 3) (y - 6) = 0

⇒  y - 3 = 0 and y - 6 = 0  ⇒  y = 3 and y = 6

For y = 3

18 18
x= y
= 3
= 6

Hence, x = 6, y = 3 are the remaining  two observation

For y = 6 

18 18
x= y
= 6
= 6

Hence, x = 3, y = 6 are the remaining two observation

Therefore, remaining two observations are 3 and 6

36. i. The path traced by Javelin is parabola. A parabola is the set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from a
fixed line and a fixed point (not on the line) in the plane.

compare x2 = -16y with x2 = -4ay

⇒ - 4a = -16

⇒ a = 4

coordinates of focus for parabola x2 = -4ay is (0, -a)

⇒ coordinates of focus for given parabola is (0, -4)

ii. compare x2 = -16y with x2 = -4ay

⇒ -4a = -16

⇒ a = 4

Equation of directrix for parabola x2 = -4ay is y = a

⇒ Equation of directrix for parabola x2 = -16y is y = 4

Length of latus rectum is 4a = 4 × 4 = 16

iii. ​Equation of parabola with axis along y - axis

x2 = 4ay

which passes through (5, 2)

⇒ 25 = 4a × 2

25
⇒ 4a = 2

hence required equation of parabola is

25
x2 = 2
y

⇒ 2x2 = 25y

Equation of directrix is y= -a

Hence required equation of directrix is 8y + 25 = 0.

OR

Since the focus (2,0) lies on the x-axis, the x-axis itself is the axis of the parabola.

Hence the equation of the parabola is of the form either y2 = 4ax or y2 = -4ax.

Since the directrix is x = -2 and the focus is (2,0), the parabola is to be of the form y2 = 4ax with a = 2.

Hence the required equation is y2 = 4(2)x = 8x

length of latus rectum = 4a = 8
