PART – II

II. Answer any ten questions. Question No. 28 is compulsory. [10 × 2 = 20]

Question 15.
Represent the given relation {(x, y) |y = x + 3 are natural numbers < 10} by
(i) an arrow diagram (ii) a set in roster form, wherever possible
(i)

(ii) R = {(1, 4) (2, 5) (3, 6) (4, 7) (5, 8) (6, 9)}

Question 16.
If f: R → R and g : R → R are defined by f(x) = x5 and g(x) = x4 then check if f, g are one – one and fog is one – one?
f(x) = x5 – It is one – one function
g(x) = x4 – It is one – one function
fag = f[g{x)] = f(x4) = (x4)5
fog = x20
It is also one-one function.

Question 17.
Find the first five terms of the following sequence.
a1 = 1, a2, an = $$\frac{a_{n-1}}{a_{n-2}+3}$$ ; n ≥ 3 ; n ∈ N
The first two terms of this sequence are given by a1 = 1, a2 = 1. The third term a3 depends on the first and second terms.

Similarly the fourth term a4 depends upon a2 and a3.

In the same way, the fifth term a5 can be calculated as

Therefore, the first fie terms of the sequence are 1,1, $$\frac{1}{4}, \frac{1}{16}, \frac{1}{52}$$

Question 18.
If 13 + 23 + 33 +. . . .+ k3 = 44100 then find 1+ 2 + 3 + …. + k
13 + 23 + 33 + ………. + K3 = 44100
$$\left[\frac{k(k+1)}{2}\right]^{2}$$ = 44100
$$\frac{k(k+1)}{2}$$ = $$\sqrt{44100}$$ = 210
1 + 2 + 3 + …….. + k = $$\frac{k(k+1)}{2}$$

Question 19.
Find the LCM of the polynomials a2 + 4a – 12, a2 – 5a + 6 whose GCD is a – 2
p(x) = a2 + 4a – 12
= a2 + 6a – 2a – 12

= a (a + 6) – 2(a + 6)
= (a + 6) (a – 2)
g(x) = a2 – 5a + 6
= a2 – 3a – 2a + 6

= a(a – 3) – 2 (a – 3)
= (a – 3) (a – 2)
L.C.M. = $$\frac{p(x) \times g(x)}{\text { G.C.D. }}$$
= $$\frac{(a+6)(a-2) \times(a-3)(a-2)}{(a-2)}$$
= (a + 6) (a – 3) (a – 2)

Question 20.
Find the value of ‘k’ whose roots of the equation kx2 + (6k + 2)x + 16 = 0 are real and equal.

Here a = k, b = 6k+ 2 ; c = 16
Since the equation has real and equal roots .
A = 0
b2 – 4ac = 0
(6k + 2)2 – 4(k)(16) = 0
36k2 + 4 + 24k – 4(k) (16) = 0
36k2 – 40k + 4 = 0
(÷ by 4) ⇒ 9k2 – 10k + 1 = 0
9k2 – 9k – k + 1 = 0
9k(k – 1) – 1(k – 1) = 0
(k – 1) (9k – 1) = 0
k – 1 = 0 or 9k – 1 = 0 ⇒ k = 1 or k = $$\frac { 1 }{ 9 }$$
The value of k = 1 or $$\frac { 1 }{ 9 }$$

Question 21.
Find the value of a, b, c, d, x, y from the following matrix equation.
$$\left( \begin{matrix} d & 8 \\ 3b & a \end{matrix} \right) +\left( \begin{matrix} 3 & a \\ -2 & -4 \end{matrix} \right) =\left( \begin{matrix} 2 & 2a \\ b & 4c \end{matrix} \right) +\left( \begin{matrix} 0 & 1 \\ -5 & 0 \end{matrix} \right)$$
First, we add the two matrices on both left, right hand sides to get
$$\left( \begin{matrix} d+3 & 8+a \\ 3b-2 & a-4 \end{matrix} \right) =\left( \begin{matrix} 2 & 2a+1 \\ b-5 & 4c \end{matrix} \right)$$
Equating the corresponding elements of the two matrices, we have
d + 3 = 2 gives d = -1
8 + a = 2a + 1 gives a = 7
3b – 2 = b – 5 gives b = $$\frac { -3 }{ 2 }$$
Substituting a = 7 in a – 4 = 4c gives c = $$\frac { 3 }{ 4 }$$
Therefore, a = 7, b = $$\frac { -3 }{ 2 }$$ ,c = $$\frac { 3 }{ 4 }$$ , d = -1.

Question 22.
To get from point A to point B you must avoid walking through a pond. You must walk 34 m south and 41m east. To the nearest meter, how many meters would be saved if it were possible to make a way through the pond?

In the right ∆ABC,
By Pythagoras theorem
AC2 = AB2 + BC2 = 342 + 412
= 1156 + 1681 = 2837
AC = √2837
= 53.26 m
Through A one must walk (34m + 41m) 75 m to reach C.
The difference in Distance = 75 – 53.26
= 21.74 m

Question 23.
If the points A(-3, 9), B(a, b) and C(4, -5) are collinear and if a + b = 1, then find a and b.
Since the three points are collinear
Area of a ∆ = 0
$$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$[(x1y2 + x2y3 + x3y1) – (x2y1 + x3y2 + x1y3)]

$$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$[(-36 – 5a 4- 36) – (9a + 46 + 15)] = 0
-36 – 5a + 36 – 9a -4b – 15 = 0
-7b – 14a + 21=0
(÷ by 7) – b – 2a + 3 = 0
2a + b – 3 = 0

Subtract (1) and (2) ⇒ a = 2
Substitute the value of a = 2 in (2) ⇒ 2 + 6 = 1
b = 1 – 2 = -1
The value of a = 2 and b = -1

Question 24.
Prove that $$\frac{\sin A}{1+\cos A}+\frac{\sin A}{1-\cos A}$$ = 2 cosec A.

Question 25.
The probability that atleast one of A and B occur is 0.6. If A and B occur simultaneously with probability 0.2, then find P(Ā) + P(B̄).
Here p(A ∪ B) = 0.6, p(A ∩ B) = 0.2
p(A ∪ B) = p(A) + p(B) – p(A ∩ B)
0.6 = p(A) + P(B) – 0.2
∴ p(A) + p(B) = 0.8
P(Ā) + P(B̄) = 1 – p(A) + 1 – p(B)
= 2 – [p(A) + p(B)]
= 2 – 0.8 = 1.2

Question 26.
If n = 10, X̄ = 12 and Σx2 = 1530, then calculate the coefficient of variation.
Given that n = 10, X̄ = $$\frac{\Sigma x}{n}$$ = 12, Σx2 = 1530

(σ) = 3
coefficient of variation = $$\frac{\sigma}{\bar{x}} \times 100$$ ⇒ $$\frac{3}{12} \times 100=25$$
∴ coefficient of variation = 25

Question 27.
Find the volume of the largest right circular cone that can be cut out of a cube whose edge is 14 cm.
Given, Edge of the cube = 14 cm
The largest circular cone is cut out from the cube.
Radius of the cone (r) = $$\frac { 14 }{ 2 }$$ = 7 cm
Height of the cone (h) = 14 cm
Volume of a cone = $$\frac { 1 }{ 3 }$$ πr2h cu. units
= $$\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7}$$ × 7 × 7 × 14 cm3
= $$\frac{22 \times 7 \times 14}{3}$$ cm3
∴ Volume of a cone = 718.67 cm3

Question 28.
Find the sum of the first 40 terms of the series 12 – 22 + 32 – 42 + …..
The given series is 12 – 22 + 32 – 42 + …. 40 terms
Grouping the terms we get,
(12 – 22) + (32 – 42) + (52 – 62) + ………… 20 terms
(1 – 4) + (9 – 16) + (25 – 36) + …………. 20 terms
(-3) + (-7) + (-11) + ………… 20 term
This is an A.P
Here a = – 3, d = – 7 – (- 3) = – 7 + 3 = -4, n = 20
Sn = $$\frac { n }{ 2 }$$[2a + (n – 1)d]
S20 = $$\frac { 20 }{ 2 }$$[2(-3) + 19(-4)]
= 10 (- 6 – 76) = 10 (- 82) = – 820
∴ Sum of 40 terms of the series is = 820.
