a) Solution

To show

(𝑃 ∩ 𝑄) ∪ (𝑃 − 𝑄) = 𝑃

𝐿. 𝐻. 𝑆 = (𝑃 ∩ 𝑄) ∪ (𝑃 − 𝑄) = (𝑃 ∩ 𝑄) ∪ (𝑃 ∩ 𝑄 ′ )

= 𝑃 ∩ (𝑄 ∪ 𝑄 ′ )

=𝑃∩𝜉

= 𝑃.

b) Solution

Given (2x + 7, 2y + 3) = (9, x + 6)

⇒ 2𝑥 + 7 = 9

⇒𝑥=1

and

⇒ 2𝑦 + 3 = 𝑥 + 6

⇒ 2𝑦 = 4

⇒𝑦=2

c) Solution

cos 𝐴 sin 𝐴
To prove1−tan 𝐴 + 1−cot 𝐴 = sin 𝐴 + cos 𝐴.

cos 𝐴 sin 𝐴
L.H.S. =1−tan 𝐴 + 1−cot 𝐴

cos 𝐴 sin 𝐴 cos2 𝐴 sin2 𝐴

= sin 𝐴 + cos 𝐴 = cos 𝐴−sin 𝐴 + sin 𝐴−cos 𝐴
1− 1−
cos 𝐴 sin 𝐴

cos2 𝐴 sin2 𝐴 cos2 𝐴−sin2 𝐴

=cos 𝐴−sin 𝐴 − cos 𝐴−sin 𝐴 = cos 𝐴−sin 𝐴

(cos 𝐴+sin 𝐴)(cos 𝐴−sin 𝐴)

= cos 𝐴−sin 𝐴
= cos 𝐴 + sin 𝐴
Hence proved.

d) Solution

(1 – 𝑖)6

= ((1 − 𝑖)2 )3

= (1 + 𝑖 2 − 2𝑖)3

= (−2𝑖)3

= −8𝑖 3

= 8𝑖

e) Solution

(𝑛 + 1)! = 12 × 𝑛 × (𝑛 − 1)!

⇒ (𝑛 + 1) × 𝑛 × (𝑛 − 1)! = 12 × 𝑛 × (𝑛 − 1)!

⇒ 𝑛 + 1 = 12

⇒ 𝑛 = 11

f) Solution

Given 𝑘 2 + 4𝑘 + 8, 2𝑘 2 + 3𝑘 + 6, 3𝑘 2 + 4𝑘 + 4 are in A.P.

(2𝑘 2 + 3𝑘 + 6) − (𝑘 2 + 4𝑘 + 8) = (3𝑘 2 + 4𝑘 + 4) − (2𝑘 2 + 3𝑘 + 6)

⇒ 𝑘2 − 𝑘 − 2 = 𝑘2 + 𝑘 − 2

⇒ −𝑘 = 𝑘

⇒ 2𝑘 = 0

⇒𝑘=0

g) Solution

When AB is parallel to the y–axis then 𝑥1 = 𝑥2

∴ 𝐴𝐵 = √(𝑥2 − 𝑥1 )2 + (𝑦2 −𝑦1 )2

= √(𝑦2 − 𝑦1 )2

= √(5 − 3)2
= √4

= 2𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑠

h) Solution

Given 𝑥 2 = −16𝑦 is comparable with 𝑥 2 = −4𝑎𝑦

So 𝑥 2 = −16𝑦 represents a parabola of fourth standard form.

∴ 4𝑎 = 16 ⇒ 𝑎 = 4

Therefore, the focus is (0, −𝑎) = (0, −4)

the equation of the directrix∶ 𝑦 − 4 = 0

The length of latus - rectum = 4a =16

= 100,000,000 − 8,000,000 + 240,000 − 3,200 + 16

8. Solution:

Negation of the given statement is :

It is false that √5 is rational.

√5 is not rational.

Or

√5 is irrational.

We know that this statement is true whereas the original statement was false.

9. Solution:

The given conjunction is in disguised form – the word "𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑠" can be replaced by "𝑎𝑛𝑑". Hence the
compound statements are:

p: 1+1= 3

q: 2+2= 4

As the first statement is false, the given compound statement is false.

P = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9}, Q = {0, 2, 4, 6, 8} and R = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}

𝑃 ∪ 𝐵 = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9} = 𝜉
∴ (𝑃𝑈𝑄)′ = ∅
𝑃 ∩ (𝑄 ∪ 𝑅) = {1, 3, 5, 7}
𝑃 − (𝑄 ∩ 𝑅) = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9}

14. Solution:

1. Let P(n) be the statement "22𝑛 − 1𝑖𝑠 𝑑𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑠𝑖𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑏𝑦 3"

For P(1) = 4 – 1 = 3, which is divisible by 3

∴ 𝑃(1) is true.

Let P(k) be true, for any k ∈ 𝐼

⇒ 22𝑘 − 1 𝑖𝑠 𝑑𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑠𝑖𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑏𝑦 3

⇒ 22𝑘 − 1 = 3𝐴, 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑔𝑒𝑟 𝐴

⇒ 22𝑘 = 3𝐴 + 1

If P(k) is true then P(k+1) must also be true

22(𝑘+1) − 1 = 22𝑘 . 22 − 1 = (3𝐴 + 1)4 − 1 = 3 + 12𝐴 = 3(1 + 4𝐴) , which is divisible by 3.

∴ 𝑃(𝑘 + 1) is true

Hence by principle of mathematical induction, P(n) is true for all n.

15. Solution:

In a deck of 52 cards, there are 4 jacks and 48 other cards.

Given we have to choose exactly one jack and 4 other cards.

The number of ways of choosing one jack out of 4 jack = 4𝐶1

The number of ways of choosing 4 cards out of 48 other cards = 48𝐶4

Corresponding to one way of choosing a jack, there are 48𝐶4 ways of choosing 4 other cards.

But there are 4𝐶1 ways of choosing jacks, therefore, the required number of ways = 4𝐶1 × 48𝐶4

=√(𝑥2 − 𝑥1 )2 + (𝑦2 −𝑦1 )2

= √(𝑎 − 5)2 + (−1 − 2)2

= √(𝑎 − 5)2 + (−3)2

Given

√(𝑎 − 5)2 + (−3)2 = 5

⇒ (𝑎 − 5)2 + 9 = 25

⇒ (𝑎 − 5)2 = 16

⇒ 𝑎 − 5 = ±4

⇒ 𝑎 = −1, −9

19. Solution:

The total number of ways of forming two groups of 50 candidate each out of 100 candidates = 100𝐶50

If your friend and foe enter in the same Group1 of 50 candidates, then we are to choose 48 more
candidates out of the remaining 98 candidates, so the number of ways of forming this group = 98𝐶48

Similarly, if your friend and foe enter in the same Group2 of 50 candidates, then also the number ways
of forming this group = 98𝐶48

Hence the number of ways of forming two groups of 50 candidates each so that your friend and foe
enter the same group = 98𝐶48 + 98𝐶48
98𝐶
∴The required probability of your friend and foe enter the same group = 2 × 100𝐶48

Solution:

The total number of pencils in the box = 5+a

Total number of ways of drawing 2 pencils = 5+𝑎𝐶2

Number of ways of drawing 2 yellow pencils = 5𝐶2

∴ Probability of drawing 2 yellow pencils = 5+𝑎2
𝐶2

According to the given,

5𝐶 5

5+𝑎𝐶 = 14

5×4 1×2 5
⇒ 1×2 × (5+𝑎)(4+𝑎) = 14

⇒ (5 + 𝑎)(4 + 𝑎) = 56

⇒ 𝑎2 + 9𝑎 − 36 = 0

⇒ (𝑎 − 3)(𝑎 + 12) = 0

Either a = 3 or a = –12 , but a cannot be negative.

Therefore, a = 3

20. Solution:

(6𝑥 − 4𝑖𝑦)(2 + 𝑖)2 = 20(1 + 𝑖)

Taking 2 common on both sides and cancelling them, we get

⇒ (3𝑥 − 2𝑖𝑦)(2 + 𝑖)2 = 10(1 + 𝑖)

⇒ (3𝑥 − 2𝑖𝑦)(4 + 4𝑖 + 𝑖 2 ) = 10 + 10𝑖

⇒ (3𝑥 − 2𝑖𝑦)(3 + 4𝑖) = 10 + 10𝑖

⇒ 9𝑥 + 12𝑥𝑖 − 6𝑦𝑖 − 8𝑦𝑖 2 = 10 + 10𝑖

⇒ (9𝑥 + 8𝑦) + (12𝑥 − 6𝑦)𝑖 = 10 + 10𝑖

Equating the real and imaginary parts on both sides, we get

9𝑥 + 8𝑦 = 10 and 12𝑥 − 6𝑦 = 10
 Simultaneously equating and solving these equations formed, we get

𝑥 = 15 , 𝑦 = 5

Solution:

Let the original speed of the Ferrari be 𝑥 𝑘𝑚⁄ℎ.

Initially time taken to reach the destination by covering a distance of 90 km

90
= ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑠
𝑥

The new speed of the Ferrari = (x + 15) 𝑘𝑚⁄ℎ.

90
The new time taken to cover 90 km = 𝑥+15 ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑠

According to the given,

90 90 1
− =
𝑥 𝑥+15 2

90(𝑥+15)−90𝑥 1
⇒ 𝑥(𝑥+15)
=2

⇒ 𝑥 2 + 15𝑥 = 2700

⇒ 𝑥 2 + 15𝑥 − 2700 = 0

⇒ (𝑥 + 60)(𝑥 − 45) = 0

⇒ 𝑥 = −60,45

But the speed for a Ferrari can never be negative thus, -60 is neglected.

Therefore, the initial speed of the Ferrari was 45𝑘𝑚⁄ℎ.

21. Solution:

Let n be the smaller of the two consecutive odd positive integers, then the other odd integer is n + 2.

According to the given,

n + 2 < 18 and n + (n + 2) > 22

⇒ 𝑛 < 16 𝑎𝑛𝑑 2𝑛 > 20

⇒ 𝑛 < 16 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑛 > 10

 ⇒ 10 < 𝑛 < 16

Since n is positive odd integer and it lies between 10 and 16, the possible values of n are 11, 13 and 15.
Then the corresponding values of other odd integer will be n + 2 ⇒ 13, 15 and 17. Therefore the
required pairs are ;11,13;13,15;15,17.

Solution:

Let the length of the shortest piece of wood be x cm, then the lengths of the second and third pieces are
(x + 5)cm and 2x cm respectively.

As given,

x + (x + 5) + 2x ≤ 105 and 2x ≥(x + 5) + 10

⇒ 4𝑥 ≤ 105 − 5 𝑎𝑛𝑑 2𝑥 ≥ 𝑥 + 15

⇒ 4𝑥 ≤ 100 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑥 ≥ 15

⇒ 𝑥 ≤ 25 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑥 ≥ 15

⇒ 15 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 25

Hence the shortest piece of wood that is to be cut by the carpenter must be at least 15 cm long but not
more than 25 cm long.
