 Case Study-1: As we know that India is the largest democracy in the world. Since
getting independence in 1947, our country has been served by several persons as
 Prime Minister.

o Assume a set P as all prime ministers of India from independence to 31st May
2024. Now consider a function f: P→R where R is the set of real numbers,
defined as f(xyz)= m, where xyz is the name of the Prime Minister and m is the
number of days she/he served as PM. According to this information, answer
the following questions-

o Write down the domain and range of this function.

o Which type of function is it? – (one-one/many-one, into/onto)

o Find the minimum and maximum value of this function.

o Plot the graph of this function in the following manner- Give the numbering to
all prime ministers in chronological order, now mark this ordering on
horizontal axis and mark the corresponding points (serving days) on vertical
axis, join these points with the help of straight lines from origin to 1st point, 1st
point to second, second to third etc., join the last vertical point with the next
chronological order number on horizontal axis.

o Calculate the area under this graph and above the x-axis.

o Now, Consider the oldest democracy of the world i.e., USA, by considering
President in place of Prime Minister do all above steps for USA.

o Compare the area under both the graphs i.e. INDIA and USA, which area is
greater? It shows an interesting fact! Can you guess which fact is being
