5.
(d) (-1, -14)
Explanation: Suppose (h, k) be the point of reflection of the given point (4, – 13) about the line 5x + y + 6 = 0.
The mid-point of the line segment joining points (h, k) and (4, – 13) is given by
This point lies on the given line, thus we have or 5h + k + 19 = 0 ... (1)

Page 6 of 16
 Again the slope of the line joining points (h, k) and (4, –13) is given by .
This line is perpendicular to the given line and therefore,
This gives 5k + 65 = h – 4 or h – 5k – 69 = 0 ... (2)
On solving (1) and (2), we obtain h = –1 and k = –14.
Therefore thethe point (-1, -14) is the reflection of the given point.

required number of ways = 60.

19.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: Assertion:
(1 + x)n =
Reason:
(1 + (-1))n = +... +
= + ... (-1)n
Each term will cancel each other
(1 + (-1))n = 0
Reason is also the but not the correct explanation of Assertion.
20. (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: Assertion: In the calculation of variance, we find that the units of individual observations xi and the unit of their
mean are different from that of variance, since variance involves the sum of squares of (xi - ).
For this reason, the proper measure of dispersion about the mean of a set of observations is expressed as positive square-root of
the variance and is called standard deviation.
Section B
21. Given, R = {(x, y ) : x, y z, xy = 4}
= {(-4, -1), (-2, -2), (-1, -4), (1, 4), (2, 2), (4, 1)}
Domain of R = {-4, -2, -1, 1, 2, 4}
OR
Here we are given that, f(x) =
Need to find: where the function is defined.
Let, f(x) = = y ........(i)
To find the domain of the function f(x) we need to equate the denominator of the function to 0
Therefore,
x - 4 = 0 or x = 4
It means that the denominator is zero when x = 4
So, the domain of the function is the set of all the real numbers except 4
The domain of the function, D{f(x)} = (- , 4) (4, )
Now if we put any value of x from the domain set the output value will be either (-ve) or (+ve), but the value will never be 8
So, the range of the function is the set of all the real numbers except 8
The range of the function, Rf(x) = (- , 8) (8, )
22. We have, [Using Product Rule of differentiation]

= -3 sin4 x cos2 x + 3 cos4 x sin2 x

= 3 sin2 x cos2 x (-sin2 x + cos2 x)

23. Since the vertices lie on the x-axis, so let the equation of the required hyperbola be ... (i)
The coordinates of its vertices and foci are ( a, 0) and ( ae, 0) respectively.
But, the coordinates of vertices and foci are given as ( 5, 0) and ( 7, 0) respectively.
a = 5 and ae = 7 then 5e = 7 e
Now, b2 = a2 (e2 - 1) b2 = 25 = 24.

Page 9 of 16
 Substituting the values of a2 and b2 in (i), we obtain
Required equation of hyperbola is
OR
We are given:
y2 - 4y + 4x = 0
(y - 2)2 - 4 + 4x = 0
(y - 2)2 = - 4 (x - 1)
Let Y = y - 2
X=x-1
Then, we have:
Y2 = - 4X
On comparing the given equation with Y2 = - 4aX
4a = 4 a=1
Vertex = (X = 0, Y = 0) = (x = 1, y = 2)
Focus = (X = -a, Y = 0) = (x - 1 = - 1, y - 2 = 0) = (x = 0, y = 2)
Equation of the directrix:
x=a
i.e. x - 1 = 1 x=2
Axis = Y = 0
i.e. y - 2 = 0 y=2
Therefore, length of the latus rectum = 4a = 4 units
24. Now,
14 = 7 2
21 = 7 3
28 = 7 4
35 = 7 5
42 = 7 6
98 = 7 14
Therefore,the given set can be write as
E = {x: x = 7n, n ∈ N and 1 n 14}
25. The equation of a line intercept form is
=1
Given, b = 2a
(1) =1
2x + y = 2a
since the line passes through the point (1, 2),
2 . 1 + 2 = 2a
a=2
Equation of the line is 2x + y - 4 = 0.
Section C
26. Given, A = {1,2,3,4 } and B = {1, 4, 9, 16, 25} and
R = {(x, y) : x A, y B and y = x2}

Page 10 of 16
 iii. Range of R = {1, 4, 9, 16}
iv. Co-domain of R = {1, 4, 9, 16, 25}
27. The given system of inequations is 3x - 6 0 ...(i)
4x - 10 6 .....(ii)
Now 3x - 6 0 3x 6
Solution set of inequation (i) is [2, )
and, 4x -10 < 6 4x 16 x<4
The solution set of inequation (ii) is ( , 4]

The solution sets of inequations (i) and (ii) are represented graphically on the real line in the above figure.
Clearly, the intersection of these solution sets is the set [2,4].
Hence, the solution set of the given system of inequations is the interval [2,4].
28. To prove: Points A, B, C form an isosceles triangle.
Formula: The distance between two points (x1, y1, z1) and (x2, y2, z2) is given by

D=
Here,
(x1, y1, z1) = (4, 6, -3)
(x2, y2, z2) = (0, 2, 3)
(x3, y3, z3) = (-4, -4, -1)

Length AB =

Here, AB = BC
vertices A, B, C forms an isosceles triangle.
OR
Let Q divides PR in the ratio k : 1
Thus coordinates of Q are
It is given that coordinates of Q are (7, 6, -4).

Now solving these we get

Thus Q divides PR in the ratio or 1 : 2
29. To find: Expension of by means of binomial theorem..

Page 11 of 16
 We can write , as , and , as ,

Now, we have to solve for

Hence the result.

OR
Using binomial theorem
(1 + 2x)6 (1 - x)7

= [1 + 12x + 60x2 + 160x3 + 240x4 + 192x5 + 64x6] [1 - 7x + 21x2 - 35x3 + 35x4 - 21x5+ 7x6 - x7]
Coefficient of x5 in the product

= -21 + 420 - 2100 + 3360 - 1680 + 192 = 171

30. Let = x + iy. Then
= x + iy
7 - 24i = (x + iy)2
7 - 24i = (x2 - y2) + 2i xy
x2 - y2 = 7 ... (i)
and 2xy = -24 ... (ii)
Now, (x2 + y2)2 = (x2 - y2)2 + 4 x2 y2
(x2 + y2)2 = 49 + 576 = 625 [ x2 + y2 > 0]
x2 + y2 = 25... (iii)
add (i) and (iii), we get
2x2 = 32
x2 = 16
x= 4
put value of x in (I), we get
y2 = 9 => y = 3
From (ii) we observe that 2xy is negative. So, x and y are of opposite signs.
Hence, (4 - 3i)
OR
We have, (x + iy)1/3 = a + ib
x + iy = (a + ib)3 [cubing on both sides]
x + iy = a3 + i3 b3 + 3 iab (a + ib)

Page 12 of 16
 x + iy = a3 - ib3 + i 3a2 b - 3ab2
x + iy = a3 - 3ab2 + i (3a2 b - b3)
On equating real and imaginary parts from both sides, we get
x = a3 - 3ab2 and y = 3a2b - b3
= a2 - 3b2 and = 3a2 - b2
Now, a2 - 3b2 - 3a2 + b2
= - 2a2 - 2b2 = - 2 (a2 + b2)
Hence proved.
31. Here,it is given: A = {a, e, i, o, u}, B = {a, d, e, o, v} and C = {e, o, t, m}.
B C = {e, o} and A (B C) = {a, e, i, o, u}

(A B) (A C) = {a, e, I, o, u}
L.H.S = R.H.S. [Verified]

34. Let the four numbers in GP be
, ar, ar3 ...(i)
Product of four numbers = 4096 [given]
(ar) (ar3) = 4096

a4 = 4096 a4 = 84
On comparing the base of the power 4, we get
+ ar + ar3 = 85
a = 85

8 [r3 + ] + 8 [r + ] = 85 [ a = 8]

8 = 85 [ a3 + b3 = (a + b)3 - 3 (a +b)]
8 - 16 - 85 = 0 ...(ii)
On putiing = x in Eq. (ii), we get
8x3 - 16x - 85 = 0
(2x - 5) (4x2 + 10x + 17) = 0
2x - 5 = 0 [ 4x2 + 10x + 177 = 0 has imaginary roots]

2r2 - 5r + 2 = 0
(r - 2) (2r - 1) = 0
r = 2 or r =
On putting a = 8 and r = 2 or r = in Eq. (i), we obtain four numbers as

OR
We have to find the value of sin
It is given that
6 cos x + 8 sin x = 9
6 cosx = 9 - 8 sinx
36 cos2x = (9 - 8 sinx)2
36(1 - sin2x) = 81 + 64 sin2x - 144 sinx
100 sin2x - 144 sinx + 45 = 0
Now, and are the roots of the given equation;
therefore, and are the roots of the above equation.

(Product of roots of a quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 is )

Again, 6 cosx + 8 sinx = 9
8 sinx = 9 - 6 cosx
64 sin2x = (9 - 6 cos x)2
64(1 - cos2x) = 81 + 36cos2x - 108 cosx
100 cos2x - 108 cosx + 17 = 0
Now, and are the roots of the given equation;
therefore, sin and sin are the roots of the above equation.
Therefore,
Hence,

C.V. (in Physics) = = 46.87
OR
Standard deviation of Mathematics = 12
The coefficient of variation, C.V. =
C.V. (in Mathematics) = = 28.57
38. In a word ALLAHABAD, we have
Letters A L H B D Total

Number 4 2 1 1 1 9
So, the total number of words = = 7560
i. There are 4 vowels and all are alike i.e., 4 A’s.
Also, there are 4 even places which are 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th. So, these 4 even places can be occupied by 4 vowels in =1
way. Now, we are left with 5 places in which 5 letters, of which two are alike (2 L’s) and other distinct, can be arranged in
ways.
Hence, the total number of words in which vowels occupy the even places = 60
ii. Considering both L together and treating them as one letter. We have,
Letters A LL H B D Total

Number 4 1 1 1 1 8
Then, 8 letters can be arranged in ways.
So, the number of words in which both L come together = =8 7 6 5 = 1680
Hence, the number of words in which both L do not come together
= Total number of words - Number of words in which both L come together
= 7560 - 1680 = 5880
Hence, the total number of words in which both L do not come together is 5880
