 Solution

Section A

1. (a) 2
Explanation: Let C = 90°. Then, B = (90° - A).
sin2A + sin2B + sin2C = sin2A + sin2(90° - A) + sin290°
= (sin2 A + cos2 A + 1) = 2.
2.
(c) {(x, y) : x, y ∈ R, y = x} 2

Explanation: A function is said to exist when we get a unique value for any value of x.
Here, y = x is not a function as for each value of x, we will get 2 values of y which violates the definition of a function.

Explanation: Line is parallel to the line y = 3x - 1.
Therefore, slope of the line is ‘3’.
Also, line passes through the point (1,2).
Thus, equation of the line is: y - 2 = 3(x - 1)

⇒ and (x < -1 or x > 1)

x ≤ 4

∴ Domain of f = (−∞, −1) ∪ (1, 4]

9.
(b) − 4 ≤ x ≤ 1
Explanation: (x + 5) - 7(x - 2) ≥ 4x + 9
⇒ x + 5 - 7x + 14 ≥ 4x + 9

⇒ -6x + 19 ≥ 4x + 9

⇒ -6x - 4x ≥ 9 - 19
⇒ -10x ≥ -10

⇒ x ≤ 1

⇒ x ∈ (−∞, 1]

2(x - 3) - 7(x + 5) ≤ 3x - 9
⇒ 2x - 6 - 7x - 35 ≤ 3x < 9

⇒ -5x - 41 ≤ 3x - 9
⇒ -5x - 3x ≤ 41 - 9

⇒ -8x ≤ 32

⇒ -x ≤ =4 32

⇒ x ≥ -4
⇒ xϵ[−4, ∞)

Hence the solution set is [−4, ∞) ∩ (−∞, 1] = [-4, 1]

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: Let x̄ be the mean of x1, x2 ..., xn. Then, variance is given by
n
2 1 2
σ = ∑ (xi − x̄)
1 n
i=1

If a is added to each observation, the new observations will be

yi = xi + a

Page 8 of 18
 Let the mean of the new observations be ȳ .
Then,

Thus, the variance of the new observations is same as that of the original observations.
Reason: We may note that adding (or subtracting) a positive number to (or from) each observation of a group does not affect
the variance.

21. Given, f (x) =
√x+|x|

x, if x ≥ 0
As we know, |x| = {
−x, if x < 0

x + x, if x ≥ 0
∴ x + |x| = {
x − x, if x < 0

2x, if x ≥ 0
⇒ x + |x| = { .... (i)
0, if x < 0

The function f (x) = assumes real values, if x + |x| > 0 .
√x+|x|

⇒ 2x > 0 ⇒ x > 0 [using Eq. (i)]

∴ x ∈ (0, ∞)

∴ domain of f = (0, ∞) .
OR
According to the question,
We have, B = {x, y}
∴ B × B = (x, y) × (x, y) = {(x, x), (x, y), (y, x), (y, y)}

23. Let (h, k) be the centre of the circle and r be the radius of the circle.
the circle touching the lines x + 2y = 0 and x - 2 y = 0.
We know that the length of the perpendicular from the centre of a circle on the tangent line is equal to the radius of the circle.
(Length of the perpendicular from (h, k) on x + 2y = 0) = r = (Length of the perpendicular from (h, k) on x - 2y = 0)

⇒ |h + 2k| = |h − 2k|

⇒ h + 2k = ± (h - 2k)
⇒ h + 2k = h − 2k or ih + 2k = −(h − 2k)

⇒ 4k = 0 or, 2h = 0
⇒ h = 0 or, k = 0
Hence, the locus of (h, k) is x = 0 or y = 0
OR
Here we are given that y2 = 4ax is passing through the point (3, 2).
Hence this point will satisfy the equation of the parabola.

24. Here, we have X ⊂ A and X ⊄ B

⇒ X is a subset of A but X is not a subset of B

⇒ X ∈ P (A) but X ∉ P (B),we get

⇒ X = {d}, {a, b, d}, {b, c, d}, {a, c, d}, {a, d}, {b, d}, {c, d}, {a, b, c, d}.

Section C
26. Clearly, R1 and R2 are subsets of X × X. In order to prove that R1 = R2, it is sufficient to show that R1 ⊂ R2 and R2 ⊂ R1.
We observe that the difference between any two elements of each of the sets {1, 4, 7}, {2, 5, 8} and {3, 6, 9} is a multiple of 3.
Let (x, y) be an arbitrary element of R1. Then,
(x, y) ∈ R1
⇒ x - y is divisible by 3.
⇒ x - y is a multiple of 3

⇒ {x, y) ⊂ {1, 4, 7} or {x, y} ⊂ {2, 5, 8) or (x, y) ⊂ {3, 6, 9}

⇒ (x, y) ∈ R2

Thus, (x, y) ∈ R1 ⇒ (x, y) ∈ R2.

So, R1 ⊂ R2 ...(i)
Now, let (a, b) be an arbitrary element of R2. Then,
(a, b) ∈ R2
⇒ {a, b} ⊂ {1, 4, 7} or {a, b} ⊂ {2, 5, 8} or {a, b} ⊂ {3, 6 , 9}
⇒ a - b is divisible by 3
⇒ (a, b) ∈ R1

Thus, (a, b) ∈ R2 ⇒ (a, b) ∈R1

So, R2 ⊂ R1 ...(ii)
From (i) and (ii), we get: R1 = R2.

But 2 cos A cos B = cos (A + B) + cos (A - B)

Then the above equation becomes,

But cos(90o - θ) = sinθ and cos(180o - θ)= -cos(θ).
