PART-II

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

Question 15.
Let X = {3, 4, 6, 8}. Determine whether the relation
R = {(x, f(x)) |x ∈ X, f(x) = x2 + 1} is a function from X to N?
f(x) = x2 + 1
f(3) = 32 + 1 = 9 + 1 = 10
f(4) = 42 + 1 = 16 + 1 = 17
f(6) = 62 + 1 = 36 + 1 = 37
f(8) = 82 + 1 = 64 + 1 = 65
ves. R is a function from X to N.

Question 16.
Find k if fof f(k) = 5 where f(k) = 2k – 1.
fof(k) = f(f(k))
= 2(2k – 1) – 1 = 4k – 3
Thus, fof(k) = 4k – 3
But, it is given that fof (k) = 5
Therefore 4k – 3 = 5 ⇒ k = 2.

Question 17.
Find the least positive value of x such that 98 = (x + 4) mod 5
98 ≡ (x + 4) (mod 5)
98 – (x + 4) = 5n , for some integer n.
94 – x = 5n
94 – x is a multiple of 5.
Therefore, the least positive value of x must be 4
Since 94 – 4 = 90 is the nearest multiple of 5 less than 94.

Question 18.
If the first term of an infinite G.P. is 8 and its sum to infinity is $$\frac { 32 }{ 3 }$$ then find the common ratio.
Here a = 8, S = $$\frac{32}{3}$$
$$\frac{a}{1-r}=\frac{32}{3}$$
$$\frac{8}{1-r}=\frac{32}{3}$$
32 – 32r = 24 ⇒ 32 r = 8
r = $$\frac{8}{32}=\frac{1}{4}$$
Common ratio = $$\frac{1}{4}$$

Question 19.
Find the excluded values, of the expression $$\frac{x^{3}-27}{x^{3}+x^{2}-6 x}$$
x3 – 27 = x3 – 33
= (x – 3) (x2 + x + 3)

x3 + x2 – 6x = x(x2 + x – 6) = x (x + 3) (x – 2)
$$\frac{x^{3}-27}{x^{3}+x^{2}-6}=\frac{(x-3)\left(x^{2}+x+3\right)}{x(x+3)(x-2)}$$
The expression $$\frac{(x-3)\left(x^{2}+x+3\right)}{x(x+3)(x-2)}$$ is undefined
when x (x + 3) (x – 2) = 0
x = 0 or x + 3 = 0 or x – 2 = 0
x = 0 or x = -3 or x = 2
The excluded values are 0, -3 and 2

Question 20.
Find the square root of $$1+\frac{1}{x^{6}}+\frac{2}{x^{3}}$$

Question 21.
Find x and y if $$x\left[ \begin{matrix} 4 \\ -3 \end{matrix} \right] +\quad y\left[ \begin{matrix} -2 \\ 3 \end{matrix} \right] =\left[ \begin{matrix} 4 \\ 6 \end{matrix} \right]$$
$$x\left[ \begin{matrix} 4 \\ -3 \end{matrix} \right] +y\left[ \begin{matrix} -2 \\ 3 \end{matrix} \right] =\left[ \begin{matrix} 4 \\ 6 \end{matrix} \right]$$
$$\left[ \begin{matrix} 4x \\ -3x \end{matrix} \right] +\left[ \begin{matrix} -2y \\ 3y \end{matrix} \right] =\left[ \begin{matrix} 4 \\ 6 \end{matrix} \right]$$
4x – 2y = 4
(1) ⇒ 2x – y = 2
(2) ⇒ -3x + 3y = 6
-x + y = 2

Substitute the Value of x = 4 in (2)
-4 + y = 2
y = 2 + 4 = 6
The value of x = 4 and y = 6

Question 22.
Show that in a triangle, the medians are concurrent.
Medians are line segments joining each vertex to the midpoint of the corresponding opposite sides. Thus medians are the cevians where D, E, F are midpoints of BC, CA and AB respectively.

Since D is a midpoint of BC, BD = DC so $$\frac{B D}{D C}$$ = 1 ….. (1)
Since, E is a midpoint of CA, CE = EA so $$\frac{C E}{E A}$$ = 1 ……. (2)
Since, F is a midpoint of AB, AF = FB so $$\frac{A F}{F B}$$ = 1 ……. (3)
Thus, multiplying (1), (2) and (3) we get,
$$\frac{\mathrm{BD}}{\mathrm{DC}} \times \frac{\mathrm{CE}}{\mathrm{EA}} \times \frac{\mathrm{AF}}{\mathrm{FB}}$$ = 1 × 1 × 1 = 1
And so, Ceva’s theorem is satisfied. Hence the Medians are concurrent.

Question 23.
A cat is located at the point(-6, -4) in xy plane. A bottle of milk is kept at (5, 11). The cat wish to consume the milk travelling through shortest possible distance. Find the equation of the path it needs to take its milk.
Equation of the joining the point is

15(x + 6) = 11(y + 4)
15x + 90 = 11y + 44
15x – 11y + 90 – 44 = 0
15x – 11y + 46 = 0
The equation of the path is 15x – 11y + 46 = 0

Question 24.
If the circumference of a conical wooden piece is 484 cm then find its volume when its height is 105 cm.
Circumference of the wooden piece = 484 cm
2πr = 484
2 × $$\frac { 22 }{ 7 }$$ × r = 484 cm
r = $$\frac{484 \times 7}{2 \times 22}$$
r = 77 cm
Height of the wooden piece (h) = 105 cm
Volume of the conical wooden piect = $$\frac { 1 }{ 3 }$$πr2h cu. units
= $$\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7}$$ × 77 × 77 × 105 cm3
= 22 × 11 × 77 × 35 cm3 = 652190 cm3
Volume of the wooden piece = 652190 cm3

Question 25.
The range of a set of data is 13.67 and the largest value is 70.08. Find the smallest value.
Range R = 13.67
Largest value L = 70.08
Range R = L – S
13.67 = 70.08 – S
S = 70.08 – 13.67 = 56.41
Therefore, the smallest value is 56.41.

Question 26.
Three rotten eggs are mixed with 12 good ones. One egg is chosen at random. What is the probability of choosing a rotten egg?
Number of good eggs = 12
Number of rotton eggs = 3
Totalnumberofeggs = 12 + 3 = 15
Sample space n (S) = 15
Let A be the event of choosirg a rotten egg
n(A) = 3
P(A) = $$\frac{n(\mathrm{A})}{n(\mathrm{S})}=\frac{3}{15}=\frac{1}{5}$$
The Probability is $$\frac{1}{5}$$

Question 27.
Form the quadratic equation whose roots are 3 + √7 ; 3 – √7
Sum of the roots = 3 + √7 + 3 – √7
= 6
Product of the roots (3 + √7) (3 – √7 )
= 32 – (√7)2
= 9 – 7
= 2
The required equation is x2 (sum of the roots) x + product of the roots = 0
x2 – (6)x + 2 = 0
x2 – 6x + 2 = 0

Question 28.
If a cos θ – b sin θ = c, then prove that (a sin θ + b cos θ) = ±$$\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}-c^{2}}$$
Given a cos θ – bsin θ = c
Squaring on both sides
(a cos θ – b sin θ)2 = c2
a2cos2θ + b2sin2θ – 2 ab cosθ sinθ = c2
a2 (1 – sin2θ) + b2(1 – cos2θ) – 2ab cos θ sin θ = c2
a2 – a2 sin2 θ + b2 – b2cos2 θ – 2ab cos θ sin θ = c2
– a2 sin 2 θ – b2 cos2 θ – 2ab cos θ sin θ = – a2 – b2 + c2
a2 sin 2 θ + b2 cos2 θ + 2ab cos θ sin θ = + a2 + b2 – c2
(a sin θ + b cos θ)2 = a2 + b2 – c2
a sin θ + b cos θ = ± $$\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}-c^{2}}$$
Hence it is proved.
