 SECTION B

This section comprises very short answer (VSA) type questions of 2 marks each.

21. (a) Check whether the function f(x) = x2 | x | is differentiable at x = 0 or not.

OR

dy 1 + y 4
(b) If y = tan x , prove that x = .
dx 4y

Ans:

(a) The function f(x) = x2 | x | is given as a piecewise function:

 x3 for x  0,

f(x) = − x3 for x  0, .
0 for x = 0.


To check differentiability at x = 0, we need to calculate the left-hand derivative and right-hand

derivative. Since the left-hand derivative (− 3x 2 ) and the right-hand derivative ( 3x 2 ) do not
match at x = 0, f(x) is not differentiable at x = 0.

OR

(b) Given y = tan x , we differentiate y with respect to xxx using the chain rule:

dy 1 1
=  sec 2 x 
dx 2 tan x 2 x

Simplifying, we multiply both sides by x to get:

dy sec2 x
x =
dx 4y

www.vedantu.com 10
Since y = tan x , we can rewrite the expression as:

dy 1 + y 4
x =
dx 4y

22. Show that the function f(x) = 4 x3 − 18 x 2 + 27 x − 7 has neither maxima nor minima.

Ans: To find the critical points, we first find the derivative of f(x):

f′(x) = 12 x 2 − 36 x + 27

Setting f′(x) = 0 to find critical points, we solve:

12 x 2 − 36 x + 27 = 0

Dividing by 3, we have:

4 x 2 − 12 x + 9 = 0

which has no real solutions. Hence, f(x) has no critical points, implying that there are neither
maxima nor minima.

24. If a and b are two non-zero vectors such that (a + b ) ⊥ a and (2a + b ) ⊥ b , then prove
that b |= 2 | a | .

Ans: (a + b ). b = 0  | a | 2 + b.a = 0 (1)

(2a + b )  b = 0  2a.b+ | b | = 0 (2)

From (1) and (2) we get

2(− | a | 2)+ | b |2 = 0

| b |2 = 2| a |2  | b | = 2 | a |

25. In the given figure, ABCD is a parallelogram. If AB = 2iˆ − 4 ˆj + 5kˆ and DB = 3iˆ − 6 ˆj + 2kˆ

SECTION C

This section comprises short answer (SA) type questions of 3 marks each.

26. (a) A relation R on set A={1,2,3,4,5} is defined as R = {( x, y) :| x2 − y 2 | 8} . Check

whether the relation R is reflexive, symmetric and transitive.

OR

(b) A function f is defined from R → R as f(x) = ax + b, such that f(1) = 1 and f(2) = 3.
Find function f(x). Hence, check whether function f(x) is one-one and onto or not.

Ans:

(a) Reflexive: For R to be reflexive, (x, x) should belong to R for all x ∈ A. Here, | x 2 − x 2 | =
0, which is less than 8, so R is reflexive.

Symmetric: R is symmetric if (x, y) ∈ R implies (y, x) ∈ R. Given | x2 − y 2 | 8 , the expression

remains the same if we swap xxx and y, hence RRR is symmetric.

Transitive: R is transitive if (x, y) ∈ R and (y, z) ∈ R implies (x, z) ∈ R . However, this does
not always hold because the difference | x2 − z 2 | can exceed 8 even if | x2 − y 2 | 8 and
| y 2 − z 2 | 8 . Hence, R is not transitive.

OR

(b) f(x) = ax + b

Solving a + b = 1 and 2a + b = 3 to get a = 2, b = -1

36. The traffic police have installed Over Speed Violation Detection (OSVD) systems
at various locations in a city. These cameras can capture a speeding vehicle from a
distance of 300 m and even function in the dark.

A camera is installed on a pole at the height of 5 m. It detects a car traveling away from
the pole at the speed of 20 m/s. At any point, xxx m away from the base of the pole, the
angle of elevation of the speed camera from the car C is θ.

On the basis of the above information, answer the following questions:

(i) Express θ in terms of the height of the camera installed on the pole and x. 1

(iii) (a) Find the rate of change of angle of elevation with respect to time at an
instant when the car is 50 m away from the pole. 2

37. According to recent research, air turbulence has increased in various regions
around the world due to climate change. Turbulence makes flights bumpy and
often delays flights.

Assume that an airplane observes severe turbulence, moderate turbulence, or light

turbulence with equal probabilities. Further, the chance of an airplane reaching
late to the destination is 55%, 37%, and 17% due to severe, moderate, and light
turbulence, respectively.

On the basis of the above information, answer the following questions:

(i) Find the probability that an airplane reached its destination late. 2

(ii) If the airplane reached its destination late, find the probability that it was due
to moderate turbulence. 2

www.vedantu.com 30
Ans:

(i) The total probability that an airplane reaches its destination late can be calculated
using the law of total probability:

P(Late) = P(Severe)  P(Late|Severe) + P(Moderate)  P(Late|Moderate) + P(Light)  P(Late|Light)

Given that the probabilities for turbulence types are equal:

1 1 1 1
P(Late) =  0.55 +  0.37 +  0.17 = 1.09 = 0.3633

(ii) Using Bayes' theorem:

P(Moderate|Late) = =  0.339
P(Late) 0.3633

38. If a function f : X → Y defined as f(x) = y is one-one and onto, then we can

define a unique function g : Y → X such that g(y) = x, where x ∈ X and y = f(x),
g is called the inverse of function f.

The domain of sine function is and the function sine: → is neither one-
one nor onto. The following graph shows the sine function:

Let sine function be defined from set A to [−1,1][-1, 1][−1,1] such that the
inverse of the sine function exists, i.e., sin −1 ( x) is defined from [−1,1][-1, 1][−1,1]
to A.

On the basis of the above information, answer the following questions:

(i) If A is the interval other than the principal value branch, give an example of one
such interval. 1

(ii) If sin −1 is defined from [−1, 1] to its principal value branch, find the value of

OR

(b) For f(x) = 2sin −1 (1 − x) must be in the domain [−1, 1]. So, the domain is 0 ≤ x ≤
