1. relations
Relation from Set A to Set B
Let A and B be two non-empty sets, then the relation from set A to set B is a subset of set A × B. For
example, if set A = {1, 2, 3} and set B = {3, 4, 5}, then there can be many relations from set A to set B.
R1 = {1, 3), (2, 5)}; R2 = {(1, 5), (2, 4), (2, 3); R3 = {(1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (2, 5)}; etc. are some of the
relations from set A to set B.
Number of all Possible Relations from Set A to Set B
Number of elements in set A = n(A). Number of elements in set B = n(B)
\ Number of ordered pairs in (A × B) = n(A × B) = n(A) × n(B) . Topic wise concepts are
\ Number of all possible relations from set A to set B = 2n(A × B) = 2n(A) × n(B).
Example 1. How many relations are possible from set A = {1, 2, 3} to set B = {6, 7, 8, 9}?
presented to remember them
Solution. We have A = {1, 2, 3}, B = {6, 7, 8, 9} easily.
⇒ n(A) = 3, n(B) = 4 ⇒ n(A × B) = 3 × 4 = 12
\ Number of possible relations from set A to set B = 212.
Domain of a Relation R
Relation R from set A to set B is a subset of set of (A × B) and A × B is a set of all possible ordered pairs
(a, b), where a ∈ A and b ∈ B. Now, a set of all the first coordinates of all the ordered pairs of relation
R is called the domain of relation R.
Or D = {a : (a, b) ∈ R}
In relation: R = {(2, 1), (3, 7), (5, 8)}, Domain = {2, 3, 5} . Each topic is well explained
Range of a Relation R with relevant example for better
Range of a relation R is a set of all the second coordinates of all the ordered pairs of relation R.
Or Range = {b : (a, b) ∈ R}
understanding.
In relation: R = {(3, 1), (7, 8), (–9, 5)}, Range = {1, 8, 5}
Example 2. If set A = {2, 3, 4, 7} and set B = {3, 4, 5, 6}. A relation R from set A to set B is defined as:
R : {(a, b): b is divisible by a and a ∈ A and b ∈ B}. Write the relation in roster form and with arrow
diagram. Also write the domain and range of relation R.
Solution. The given sets are: A = {2, 3, 4, 7} and B = {3, 4, 5, 6}
(i) R = {(2, 4), (2, 6), (3, 3), (3, 6), (4, 4)}
This is the roster form of the relation R.

Cartesian Product of Sets (Recap)

Let A and B be two non-empty sets. A set of all the ordered pairs (a, b) such that a ∈ A and b ∈ B is called cartesian product of set
A with set B and denoted as (A × B).
Or A × B = {(a, b) : a ∈ A and b ∈ B)}

The number of ordered pairs in (A × B) = n(A × B) = n(A) × n(B)

= (number of elements in set A) × (number of elements in set B).

Example 1. Given set A = {1, 2, 3} and set B = {3, 5}. Value of A × B and n(B × A) respectively are given by
(a) {(1, 3), (1, 5), (2, 3), (2, 5), (3, 3), (5, 3)} and 6

(b) {(1, 3), (1, 5) (2, 3), (5, 2), (3, 3), (5, 3)} and 5

(c) {(1, 3), (1, 5), (2, 3), (2, 5), (3, 3), (3, 5) and 6

(d) {(1, 3), (5, 1), (2, 3), (2, 5), (3, 3), (5, 3)} and 6

Solution. We are given two sets: A = {1, 2, 3} and B = {3, 5}
A × B = {1, 2, 3} × {3, 5} = {(1, 3), (1, 5), (2, 3), (2, 5), (3, 3), (3, 5)}

We are given: n(A) = 3 and n(B) = 2
\ n(B × A) = n(B) × n(A) = 2 × 3 = 6

Topic 1. Relations
Relation from Set A to Set B
Let A and B be two non-empty sets, then the relation from set A to set B is a subset of set (A × B). For example, if set A = {1, 2, 3}
and set B = {3, 4, 5}, then there can be many relations from set A to set B. R1 = {1, 3), (2, 5)}; R2 = {(1, 5), (2, 4), (2, 3)}; R3 = {(1, 3),
(1, 4), (1, 5), (2, 5)}; etc. are some of the relations from set A to set B.

Topic 2. Types of Relations

Here, we shall discuss following types of relations: (i) Empty relation, (ii) Universal relation, (iii) Identity relation, (iv) Reflexive
relation, (v) Symmetric relation, (vi) Transitive relation and (vii) Equivalence relation.
(i) (a) Empty Relation from Set A to Set B: Let A and B be two non-empty sets. Then the relation R from set A to set B is called
an empty relation if no element of set A is related to any element of set B.

For example, set A= {1, 2, 3, 4} and set B = {5, 6, 7}. is symmetric because (2, 3), (3, 2) and (2, 4), (4, 2) are
Now, consider a relation R from set A to set B defined present whereas relation
as: R = {(a, b) : a + b = 15, a ∈ A and b ∈ B}. R2 = {(2, 3), (2, 4), (3, 2), (4, 2), (3, 4)}
This is an empty relation as no pair (a, b) satisfies the is not a symmetric relation because for ordered pair (3, 4),
condition: a + b = 15. ordered pair (4, 3) is not present.
∴ R = φ ⊂ (A× B). (vi) Transitive Relation: A relation R in set A is called
(b) Empty Relation in Set A: Relation R in a non-empty transitive if for ordered pairs (a, b) and (b, c) present in
set A is called empty relation if no element of set A is relation R, there must be a third ordered pair (a, c) also

Consider a set A={1, 2, 3, 4}. Now, define a relation or A relation R in set A is called transitive if (a, b) ∈ R and
R in set A as: (b, c) ∈ R
R = {(a, b) : a – b = 10, a, b ∈ A}. ⇒ (a, c) ∈ R for a, b, c ∈ A

condition a – b = 10. defined as R = {(1, 2), (2, 3), (1, 3), (3, 3), (3, 2)} is
(ii) (a) Universal Relation from Set A to Set B: Let A and transitive because
B be two non-empty sets, then the relation R from (1, 2) ∈ R and (2, 3) ∈ R ⇒ (1, 3) ∈ R
set A to set B is called universal relation if each element (2, 3) ∈ R and (3, 3) ∈ R ⇒ (2, 3) ∈ R

R = A × B. (3, 3) ∈ R and (3, 2) ∈ R ⇒ (3, 2) ∈ R
Take two sets, A = {1, 2, 3, 4} and B = {5, 6, 7}. Now, (3, 2) ∈ R and (2, 3) ∈ R ⇒ (3, 3) ∈ R
define a relation R from set A to set B as: (vii) Equivalence Relation: A relation R in set A is said to be

Trigonometric Ratios, their Domains and Ranges (Recap)

Following are the six trigonometric ratios with their respective domains and ranges:
1. y = sin x, Domain = {x : x ∈ R},
Range = {y : y ∈ [– 1, 1]} or y = sin x : R → [– 1, 1].
2. y = cos x, Domain = {x : x ∈ R},
Range = {y : y ∈ [– 1, 1]} or y = cos x : R → [– 1, 1]

Thus: g −1 = f −1 = f or f −1 = g −1 =g
Thus : (    f   –1 of    )(x) = f   –1 [    f   (x)] = f   –1 (y) = x and

(  f of –1  )(y) = f  [  f –1(y)] = f (x) = y

Now let us define inverse of trigonometric functions.

For example, matrix A =  −5 0 −8 is a skew symmetric

Determinant
The determinant of a square matrix is a real number associated with the matrix. Every square matrix has a determinant. i.e. To every square
matrix [aij] of order n, we can associate a number (real or complex) called determinant of the square matrix A, where ajj = (i, j)th element of A.
It is denoted by |A| or det. A, if the matrix is denoted by some alphabet (A, B, ...), otherwise it is denoted by D (Delta.)

Topic 1. Continuity and Discontinuity of a Function at a Point

A function y = f (x), x ∈ D is called continuous at a point x = m ∈ D, if there is no interruption in the graph of f (x) at x = m. The graph
is unbroken at m and there is no gap or hole in the graph of the function at that point. If there is interruption or break in the graph
or there is a gap or hole in the graph of the function at the point x = m ∈ D, then the function y = f (x), x ∈ D is called discontinuous
at x = m ∈ D.

Continuity and Discontinuity of a Function at a Point

A functrion y = f(x), x ∈ D is called continuous at a point x = m ∈ D, if there is no interruption in the graph of f(x) at x = m. If
there is interruption or break in the graph or there is a gap or hole in the graph of the function at the point x = m ∈ D, then the
function y = f(x), x ∈ D is called discontinuous at x = m ∈ D.

Example 1. Find the local maximum or local minimum value, if
Example 1. Show that the following functions do not have local
any, of the following functions:
maxima or local minima points and values.
(i) f (x) = | x – 3 | + 5 (ii) f (x) = 7 – | x + 4 |
Solution. (i) f (x) = | x – 3 | + 5 (i) f (x) = ex
f (x) = – (x – 3) + 5 when x < 3 (ii) f (x) = x3 + 18x2 + 144x + 5
⇒ f (x) = – x + 8 when x < 3
Solution. (i) f (x) = ex
⇒ f ′(x) = –1 < 0 when x < 3
 
Now f (x) = x + 2 when x > 3 ⇒ f  ′ x ) = 1 > 0 ⇒ f ′(x) = ex. To find points of local maxima or local minima,
when x > 3 solve: f ′(x) = 0
Therefore, sign of f ′(x) changes negative to positive as x ⇒ ex = 0. No solution.
changes from x < 3 to x > 3.
\ x = 3 is the point of local minima. \ Here f (x) = ex is a differentiable function and f ′(x) = 0 has
Thus, local minimum value: f (3) = | 3 – 3 | + 5 = 5 no solution.
Hence, there is no local maxima. \ f (x) = ex has no local maximum or local minimum values.
(ii) f (x) = 7 – | x + 4 |
(ii) f (x) = x3 + 18x2 + 144x + 5
⇒ f (x) = 7 – [– (x + 4)] for x + 4 < 0
   
⇒ f ′(x) = 3x2 + 36x + 144 = 3[x2 + 12x + 48]

⇒ f (x) = x + 11 for x < –4
⇒ f ′(x) = 1 > 0 for x < – 4 To find the points of local maxima or local minima,
Now f (x) = 7 – (x + 4) for x + 4 > 0 solve f ′(x) = 0.

⇒ f (x) = 3 – x for x > – 4 \ 3(x2 + 12x + 48) = 0
⇒ f ′(x) = –1 < 0 for x > – 4 ⇒ x2 + 12x + 48 = 0
\ f ′(x) changes sign from +ve to –ve when x changes from
Here: D = b2 – 4ac = (12)2 – 4 × 1 × 48
x < – 4 to x > – 4.
⇒ D = 144 – 192 = – 48 < 0
Thus, x = –4 is the point of local maxima.
Hence, local maximum value: f (–4) = 7 – | – 4 + 4 | = 7. \ f ′(x) = 0 has no solution.

Topic 4. Absolute Maximum and Absolute Minimum Values of a Function

Absolute maximum and absolute minimum values of a function: of the function on f (x) from A to G (including A and G) will be
y = f (x) on [a, b] are the maximum and minimum values of the the absolute maximum value of f (x) and any minimum value of
given function within the values x = a and x = b, including x = a the function f (x) from A to G (including A and G) will be absolute
and x = b. minimum value.
Note: Sometimes, absolute maximum value and the local
maximum value coincide.
This discussion shows that the absolute maximum and
absolute minimum values depend upto some extent on the values
of a and b.
If the values of a and b are changed then values of absolute
maxima and absolute minima may also change.
How to work out Absolute Maximum and Absolute

Minimum Values of a Function.
(i) Take the given function: y = f (x) on [a, b].
To understand the concept of absolute maximum and absolute dy
minimum, draw the graph of y = f (x) and x = a and x = b. (ii) Work out = f ′ ( x ) and solve f ′(x) = 0. Assume that it
dx
Now take the whole curve ABCDEFG. Any maximum value gives x = c, d.

(iii) Out of c and d choose those values which lie between a To find the critical points, solve:
and b. Assume that only c lies between a and b. f ′(x) = 0 \ (x – 1)(x – 5) = 0
∴ Take x = a, b, c
⇒ x = 1, 5 out of these two values, only x = 1 lies
(iv) Work out f (a), f (b) and f (c).
between 0 and 4.
(v) Out of these three values, choose the maximum value. That
gives absolute maximum value. Now choose the minimum \ Take x = 0, 1, 4 and work out f (0), f (1) and f (4).

Definite Integrals Integrals
Indefinite integral is the inverse-process of differentiation. If derivative of a function F(x) is f (x), then integral of function f (x) is F(x).
For example derivative of x5 is 5x4 then integral of 5x4 will be x5. Let us introduce a new symbol ∫ f ( x ) dx . This symbol represents
integration of f (x) with respect to x. If derivative of the function F(x) is another function f (x) then symbolically we write it as:
   
∫ f ( x ) dx = F(x), F(x) is also called anti-derivative of f (x).

substitute the value of A 1. If degree of numerator of the fraction is equal to or greater

examples for finding values of the constants A, B and C
Equate coefficients of x on both sides of equation (2) and
is wrong. In example:
substitute the values of A and B,

Topic 7. Integration By Parts

When we have to integrate a product of two functions like ∫ f ( x ) g ( x ) dx, we use the method of integration by parts.
Here first step is to decide that out of the two given functions which function will be taken as first function and which function
will be taken as a second function. First function must be easily differentiable and second function must be easily integrable. After
taking this decision, write selected first function at first place and selected second function at second place.
The selection of first and second function is done by ILATE rule. This rule tells us the order in which first and second function
are taken.
ILATE Rule
I L A T E
1. Inverse Trigonometric function
2. Logarithmic function
3. Algebraic function
4. Trigonometric function
5. Exponential function
ILATE rule tells us the order in which we take two functions as first and second.
Note: This rule is not a hard and fast rule.
Formula for Integration by Parts

∫ f ( x ) g ( x ) dx = f ( x ) ∫ g ( x ) dx − ∫  f ′ ( x ) ∫ g ( x ) dx  dx
or ∫ (first function )(second function ) dx = [first function × integral of second function]

– Integral of [derivative of first function × integral of second function]

Integration by Parts
This method is used when the integrand is a product of two function. First decide which function of the two, is easily
differentiable and which function is easily integrable. Take the function which is easily differentiable as first function and
write it at first place and use the formulae:
∫ f ( x ) g ( x ) dx = f ( x ) ∫ g ( x ) dx − ∫ f ′ (x ) ∫ g ( x ) dx  dx
When the integral is in the form: ∫ f ( x ) + f ′ ( x ) e x dx , write it as ∫ f ( x ) e x dx + ∫ f ′ ( x ) e x dx
Evaluate only first integral, by parts, second integral will get cancelled.

How to Draw Rough Graph of a Parabola?

Take a parabola equation: y = x2 – 4x – 5. = − 4 = sq. units

(i) Here the coefficient of x2 is positive, therefore this parabola Hence, the correct answer is (a).
will open upwards. Example 2. Draw a rough graph of the curve: y = x2 – 2x – 3
(ii) In the equation: y = x2 – 4x – 5, put y = 0. and x + y = 9 and using integration find the area between them.
⇒ x2 – 4x – 5 = 0 Solution. The given equations are: y = x2 – 2x – 3 and x + y = 9
⇒ (x + 1) (x – 5) = 0 First equation is: y = quadratic polynomial in x.
⇒ x = – 1, 5. ⇒ It is an equation of a parabola.
This means the parabola will cut x-axis at x = – 1 and Here the coefficient of x2 is positive, so the parabola will open
x = 5. upwards. It will cut x-axis at x = – 1, 3, it will cut y-axis y = – 3.
Draw the rough parabola with this information:
Now solve the two equations:
x2 – 2x – 3 = 9 – x
⇒ x2 – x – 12 = 0
⇒ (x – 4) (x + 3) = 0
⇒ x = – 3, 4
⇒ Two curves intersect at x = – 3, 4.
Now draw perpendicular upwards from x = – 3. It will cut the
parabola at D. Now draw perpendicular upwards from x = 4. This
(iii) In the equation: y = x2 – 4x – 5. perpendicular cuts parabola at E.
Put x = 0 ⇒ y = – 5.
This means the parabola will cut y-axis at (0, – 5).
(iv) Now draw the rough graph of parabola cutting x-axis at
x = – 1 and 5 and y-axis at y = – 5 and opening upwards.
This is the rough graph of the parabola.

Topic 4. Area of Circles

The general equation of a circle is: (x – a)2 + (y – b)2 = r2. Here Take a circle (x – 3)2 + (y – 4)2 = 16.
(a, b) is the centre of the circle and r is the radius of the circle. ⇒ (x – 3)2 + (y – 4)2 = 42
Area of the circle purely depends upon its radius r, it does ⇒ centre (3, 4); radius: r = 4
not depend upon its centre (a, b). Take a point centre (3, 4).
Draw two perpendicular lines parallel to x-axis and parallel
How to draw graph of a circle? to y-axis passing through (3, 4).
Take general equation of the circle Now draw a circle with radius 4, as shown.
(x – a)2 + (y – b)2 = r2
Here centre is (a, b) and radius r.
Draw two ⊥ lines passing through (a, b). On the circles,
the right extreme point is A[(a + r), b], left extreme point is
B[(a – r), b], upper extreme point is C[a, (b + r)] and lower
extreme point is D[a, (b – r)]
Now draw a circle passing through these four points.
The two perpendicular lines divide the circle into 4 equal

parts. We shall find the area of one part by integration and multiply
it by 4.
Example 1. The area of the region bounded by the circle x2 + y2 = 1 is
(a) 2 p sq. units (b) p sq. units
(c) 3 p sq. units (d) 4 p sq. units

centre of the ellipse. On the line y = k, mark two points A(x = h
+ a) and C(x = h – a). On the line x = h, mark two points B(y =
k + b) and D(y = k – b). Now join these points A, B, C and D as
shown in the graph. This is the rough figure of the ellipse.
Note: If you know the values of a and b in the equation of the

Topic 6. Area Between a Circle and a Line

Example 1. Find the area of the region in the first quadrant Example 2. Draw a rough graph of the function: {(x, y) : x2 + y2
enclosed by x-axis, the line y = x and the circle x2 + y2 = 8. ≤ 1 ≤ x + y, x, y ∈ R} and using the method of integration, find
[A.I. 2014 (C), Delhi 2015 (C), Delhi 2017] the area between them. [Delhi 2010, 2011 (C)]
Solution. The given equations are: x2 + y2 = 8 and y = x. Solution. The given equations are: x2 + y2 = 1 and x + y = 1
First, find their point of intersection First solve these two equations to find their points of
x2 + y2 = 8, y = x ⇒ x2 + x2 = 8 intersection.
2
⇒ 2x = 8
x2 + y2 = 1, x + y = 1 ⇒ x2 + (1 – x)2 = 1
⇒ x2 = 4
⇒ x2 + 1 – 2x + x2 = 1 ⇒ 2x2 – 2x = 0
⇒ x = 2 and – 2
Now draw the graph of the two curves: ⇒ 2x (x – 1) = 0 ⇒ x = 0, 1
On putting x = 0 and x = 1 in x + y = 1 respectively, we get
y = 1 and y = 0
Circle x2 + y2 = 8 with centre (0, 0)

r = 2 2, line: y = x
⇒ The points of intersection are (0, 1) and (1, 0)
The shaded region has two parts:
Total area = area of the region (OAB) + area of the region Now draw the graph of the circle with centre (0, 0), r = 1
(ABC) Now join the points (1, 0) and (0, 1).
In the region (OAB): UC: y = x; LC: y = 0, It gives the graph of the line.
LPI: x = 0, RPI: x = 2 Now we put (0, 0) in the equation 1 ≤ x + y.
In the region (ABC) = UC: y = 8− x , 2 It gives: 1 ≤ 0 (false), hence the required area does not include
the area containing (0, 0)
LC: y = 0, LPI: x = 2, RPI: x = 2 2

Example 1. Draw a rough graph of the circle: x2 + y2 = r2 and the circle: (x – r)2 + y2 = r2. Shade the common region and find the
area of the shaded region using integration.
Solution. Equations of the circles are:
x2 + y2 = r2 and (x – r)2 + y2 = r2.

Topic 9. Area between Circle and Parabola

Example 1. Make a rough sketch and find the area of the region Example 2. Draw a rough graph of: {4x2 + 4y2 ≤ 9 and y2 ≤ 4x}
(using integration): and using method of integration, find the area enclosed between
{(x, y) : x2 + y2 ≤ 2ax; y2 ≥ ax, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0} [Delhi 2016] them.[Delhi 2008, A.I. 2003 (C), 2013]
Solution. The two equations are: Solution. The given equations are: 4x2 + 4y2 = 9 and y2 = 4x
x2 + y2 = 2ax ⇒ (x – a)2 + y2 = a2 (a circle) Solve these equations to find their points of intersection.
4x2 + 4(4x) = 9 ⇒ 4x2 + 16x – 9 = 0
y2 = ax (a parabola). 2
Solve these equations, to find their points of intersection. ⇒ 4x + 18x – 2x – 9 = 0 ⇒ 2x (2x + 9) – 1 (2x + 9) = 0
(x – a)2 + y2 = a2 ⇒ (x – a)2 + ax = a2 ⇒ (2x – 1) (2x + 9) = 0
2 2
⇒ x – 2ax + a + ax = a 2
⇒ x(x – a) = 0 1 −9
⇒ x = and x = (rejected)
⇒ x = 0, a. 2 2
Now (x – a)2 + y2 = a2 is a circle with centre (a, 0) and r = 1
⇒ x =
a and y2 = ax is a parabola which opens on a right hand side 2
and passes through (0, 0). Draw the graph. Now 4x2 + 4y2 = 9

⇒ x2 + y2 =
is a circle with centre (0, 0) and
2

r = .
2
y2 = 4x is a parabola which will open on
RHS and will pass through (0, 0).
So draw their graphs.
For shading the region put (a, 0) in the parabola equation.

y2 = ax. It gives: 0 ≥ a2 (false)
∴ Point (a, 0) is not in the required area.
So shade the other part as shown in the graph.

Introduction
Scalar Quantity: A physical quantity which has magnitude only is called scalar quantity. Length, breadth, area, volume, height etc.
are scalar quantities. Scalar quantities are added, subtracted and multiplied algebraically.
Vector Quantity: A physical quantity which has magnitude and direction is called vector quantity. Force, velocity, acceleration,
displacement etc. are examples of vector quantities.
Vector quantities cannot be added, subtracted and multiplied algebraically, we need different methods to find sum, difference

Introduction
Linear programming is concerned with finding the optimal value (maximum or minimum) of a linear function of several variable
(called objective function) subject to the conditions that the variables are non-negative and satisfy a set of linear inequalities (called
linear constraints).
The common shaded region determined by all the constraints including the non-negative constraints x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0 of a linear
programming problem is called a feasible region or solution region for the problem. Points within and on the boundary of the feasible
region represent feasible solution of the constraints. Any point outside the feasible region is an infeasible solution.
Optimal Solution
Any point in the feasible region that gives the optimal value (maximum or minimum) of the objective functions is called an optimal
solution.
Corner Point Method

Corner point method for solving an LPP.
(i) Find the feasible region of the linear programming problem and determine its corner points (vertices).
(ii) Evaluate the objective function Z = ax + by at each corner point.
Let M and m respectively be the largest and smallest values at these points. If the feasible region is bounded, M and m
respectively, are the maximum and minimum values of the objective function.
355
(iii) m is the minimum value of the objective function if the open half plane determined by ax + by < m has no point in common
with the feasible region, otherwise the objective function has no minimum value.
(iv) If two corner points of the feasible region are both optimal solutions of the same type i.e., both produce the same maximum
or minimum, then any point on the line segment joining these two points is also an optimal solution of the same type.
A few important linear programming problems are:
(i) Manufacturing problems. (ii) Diet problems and (iii) Transportation problems.

Topic 2. Minimisation of Objective Function and Diet Problems

When a manufacturer is manufacturing some products, he is Solution. Let x and y be the number of packets of food P and Q
interested to minimise the cost of production. Here also we convert respectively. Obviously x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0. Mathematical formulation
the given conditions into equations called constraints and form of the given problem is as follows:
an objective to minimise the cost of production.
Minimise Z = 6x + 3y (vitamin A)
Example 1. (Diet problem) A dietician has to develop a special
subject to the constraints
diet using two foods P and Q. Each packet (containing 30 g) of
12x + 3y ≥ 240 (constraint on
food P contains 12 units of calcium, 4 units of iron, 6 units of
cholesterol and 6 units of vitamin A. Each packet of the same calcium), i.e. 4x + y ≥ 80 ...(1)
quantity of food contains 3 units of calcium, 20 units of iron, 4 4x + 20y ≥ 460 (constraint on iron), i.e. x + 5y ≥ 115 ...(2)
units of cholesterol and 3 units of vitamin A. The diet requires 6x + 4y ≤ 300 (constraint on
atleast 240 units of calcium, atleast 460 units of iron and at most
cholesterol), i.e. 3x + 2y ≤ 150 ...(3)
300 units of cholesterol. How many packets of each food should
be used to minimise the amount of vitamin A in the diet? What x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0 ...(4)
is the minimum amount of vitamin A? Let us graph the inequalities (1) to (4)
(a) 288 at (2, 72) (b) 150 at (15, 20) The feasible region (shaded) determined by the constraints (1) to
(c) 285 at (40, 15) (d) None of these (4) is shown in figure and note that it is bounded.
The coordinates of the corner points L, M and N are (2, 72), (15, 20) and (40, 15)
respectively. Let us evaluate Z at these points:
Corner Point Z = 6x + 3y
(2, 72) 228
(15, 20) 150 ← Minimum
(40, 15) 285
From the table, we find that Z is minimum at the point (15, 20). Hence, the amount
of vitamin A under the constraints given in the problem will be minimum, if 15
packets of food P and 20 packets of food Q are used in the special diet. The minimum
amount of vitamin A will be 150 units.

Topic 3. Transportation Problems

In transport problems, we want to transport goods from one spot Total transportation cost
to destination spot at minimum cost. In these problems,
Z = 160x + 100 (5 – x) + 100y +
manufacturing spot and sale spot are given with their distances
and also cost of transportation per kilometre. With this information 120 (5 – y) + 100
constraint inequations and objective equations are formed. (x + y – 4) + 150 (8 – x – y)
Generally, questions are not asked on this topic, because it
= 10 (x – 7y + 190)
involves many inequations.
Example 1. There are two factories located on at place P and The problem becomes: Minimise:
the other at place Q. Cost in Rupees Z = 10(x – 7y + 190)
From these locations From To
a certain commodity A B C
is to be delivered to P 160 100 150
each of the three depots Q 100 120 100
situated at A, B and C.
The weekly requirements of the depots are respectively 5, 5 and
4 units of the commodity while the production capacity of the
factories at P and Q are respectively 8 and 6 units. The cost of
the transportation per unit is given in the table, then
Number of units should be transported from each factory to each
depot in order to minimise the transportation cost are subject to the constraints:
(a) x = 1; y = 2 (b) x = 3; y = 6 x + y ≤ 8, x + y ≥ 4, x ≤ 5,
(c) x = 2; y = 2 (d) x = 0; y = 5
y ≤ 5, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0.
Solution. The problem can be explained diagrammatically as
below: Plot these inequations:
The shaded region ABCDEF is the feasible region.
Vertices of ABCDEF are: A = (0, 4), B = (0, 5),
C = (3, 5), D = (5, 3), E = (5, 0), F = (4, 0)
ZA = ` 1,620, ZB = ` 1,550, ZC = ` 1,580,
ZD = ` 1,740, ZE = ` 1,950, ZF = ` 1,940
Zmin = ZB = ` 1,550 at (0, 5)
x = 0, y = 5.
Let x units of the commodity be sent to A from P, then (5 – x)
units will be sent to A from Q.
Let y units of the commodity is sent to B from P then (5 – y)
units will be sent from Q to B.
Then 8 – (x + y) units of the commodity will be sent from
P to C and 6 – (5 – x) – (5 – y) = x + y – 4, units of the commodity
will be sent from Q to C.
The commodity sent to A, B and C from P and Q should not
come back. Hence, the optimal transport strategy will be to deliver 0, 5
∴ x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0, 8 – x – y ≥ 0, 5 – x ≥ 0, 5 – y ≥ 0, and 3 units from P to A, B and C and 5, 0, 1 units from Q to

x+y–4≥0 A, B and C at a minimum cost of ` 1,550.
⇒ x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0, x + y ≤ 8, x ≤ 5, y ≤ 5 and x + y ≥ 4. Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.

I. 1. The transportation of grain from two depots A and B to three ⇒ ZA = ` 560, ZB = ` 620,

Each transfer in position
∴ x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0, 100 – x – y ≥ 0, 60 – x ≥ 0,
Feasible region = Shaded closed region ABCD.
50 – y ≥ 0, x + y – 60 ≥ 0
⇒ Zmin = ZD = ` 510 at (10, 50) ⇒ x = 10, y = 50.

Z = 2.5x + 1.5y + 410 subject to the constraints:
x + y ≤ 100, x + y ≥ 60, x ≤ 60, y ≤ 50, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0
2. Let x litres of oil is supplied from depot A to petrol pump D and
y litres of oil is supplied from depot A to petrol pump E then
Plot these inequations:
7,000 – (x + y) litres of petrol will be supplied from depot A to
x 100 0 x 60 0 petrol pump F.
x + y = 100,

C = (50, 50), D = (10, 50) and 3,500 – (7,000 – x – y)] L respectively.

∴ x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0, 7000 – x – y ≥ 0 or x + y ≤ 7,000 ZA = ` 5,300, ZB = ` 5,550, ZC = ` 5,450,

4500 – x ≥ 0 ⇒ x ≤ 4500; 3000 – y ≥ 0 ZD = 4,400, ZE = ` 5000.
⇒ y ≤ 3000; and 3500 – [7000 – x – y] ≥ 0

⇒ 3500 – 7000 + x + y ≥ 0 ⇒ x + y ≥ 3500
Cost of transportation:
Z = 0.7x + 0.6y + 0.3[7000 – (x + y)] + 0.3 (4500 – x) + 0.4
(3,000 – y) + 0.2 (x + y – 3500)
⇒ Z = 0.3x + 0.1y + 3,950.
Now the question reduces to minimise:
Z = 0.3x + 0.1y + 3,950 subject to the constraints:
x + y ≤ 7,000, x + y ≥ 3,500

Feasible region = Shaded closed region ABCDE.
x ≤ 4,500, y ≤ 3,000, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0.

Linear Programming Problem

(LPP)
Linear programming is concerned with finding the optimal value (maximum or minimum) of a linear function of several
variables (called objective function) subject to the conditions that the variables are non-negative and satisfy a set of linear
inequations (called linear constraints).
The common region shaded determined by all the constraints including the non-negative constraints x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0
of a linear programming problem is called a feasible region or solution region for the problem. Points within and on the
boundary of the feasible regions represents feasible solution of the constraints. Any point out of the feasible region is an
infeasible solution.
Any point in the feasible region that gives optimal value (maximum or minimum) of the objective function is called
an optimum solution.

Topic 1. Probability
Probability is a function of outcomes of an experiment. Events
When two coins are tossed once or one coin is tossed twice we
Experiment get HH, TT, HT and TH as outcomes. Hence
The game we play is called an experiment. For example: (i) To get both heads is an event.
(i) Tossing of a coin 4 times is an experiment. (ii) To get both tails is another event.
(ii) Drawing of a card from a well shuffled pack of 52 playing (iii) To get one head and one tail is again an event.
cards is an experiment.
Favourable Outcomes
Outcomes The outcomes of an experiment which help an event to occur
The all possible results of an experiment are called outcomes. are called favourable outcomes to that event.
(i) When we toss a coin we get either a head or a tail. Here, When we toss 2 dice once and event is to get a doublet,
heads and tails are outcomes of the experiment. then the favourable outcomes will be:
{(1, 1), (2, 2); (3, 3); (4, 4), (5, 5), (6, 6)}
(ii) When we throw a die, we get either 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. These
Number of favourable outcomes of an event is represented
numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are outcomes of the experiment.
as n(E).
Sample space: A set of all possible outcomes of an

experiment is called sample space. When we toss a coin Probability of an Event E:
once, we get either a head or a tail. n(E)
Probability of event E = P(E) = n(S)
∴ Sample space = S = {H, T} and n(S) = 2
When we toss two coins, then all possible outcomes are 2
Example 1. If A and B are such that P(A  B) = and
3
HH, TT, TH or HT.
P(A  B) = 5 , then P(A) + P(B) is equal to .................... .
∴ S = {HH, TT, TH, HT} and n(S) = 4 9

Solution. Here, P(A  B) = and P(A  B) = 5 and event B is to get an odd number on each die. Then find:

Now P(A) + P(B) = 1 – P(A) + 1 – P(B) (vii) P(A′) (viii) P(B′) (ix) P(A′∩ B)

Topic 4. Independent Events

Definition of Independent Events Similarly: P(F | E) = P(F)
If the probability of occurrence of an event E is not-effected by P ( E ∩ F)
the occurrence of the event F, or if the probability of occurrence ⇒ = P ( F)
P (E)
of event F is not effected by occurrence of event E, then events
E and F are called independent events. ⇒ P(E ∩ F) = P(E) × P(F)
This means if P(E|F) = P(E) and P(F|E) = P(F) then the events ∴ Two events E and F are independent when
E and F are independent.
P ( E ∩ F) P(E ∩ F) = P(E) ⋅ P(F).
Now: P(E|F) = P(E) ⇒ = P (E)
P ( F) Here E ∩ F means the simultaneous occurrence of events E
P(E ∩ F) = P(E) × P(F) and F.

Example 1. Let A and B be two events. If P(A/B) = P(A), then (a) they must be mutually exclusive
A is ............... of B. (b) the sum of their probabilities must be equal to 1
P(A ∩ B) P(A ∩ B) (c) (a) and (b) both are correct
Solution.  P ( A B) =  P(A) =

(d) none of the above is correct
 P(A  B) = P(A).P(B)
Solution. For independent events A and B, P(A).P(B) = P(A  B)
So, A is independent of B. So, they will not be mutually exclusive.
Example 2. Let P(A) > 0 and P(B) > 0. Then A and B can be both If P(A) + P(B) = 1, they are exhaustive events and for

Topic 6. Random Variable

A random variable is a real valued function whose domain is the Probability Distribution of a Random Variable
sample space of the experiment. A description giving the values of the random variable along
S = {HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH, TTT} with the corresponding probabilities is called the probability
If X denotes the number of heads obtained, then X is a random distribution of the random variable X. Let:

Q1. The relation “less than” in the set of natural numbers is 1
(a) only symmetric (b) only transitive (c) only reflexive (d) equivalence relation
Sol. Let R be the relation in N defined by “less than” where N denotes the set of natural numbers.
The relation R is not reflexive, since a is not less than a for any natural number a.
The relation R is not symmetric, since if (a, b) ∈ R, then a is less than b but b is not less than a, i.e., (b, a) ∉ R
The relation R is transitive, since a < b and b < c ⇒ a < c.
Q2. For real x, let f (x) = x3 + 5x + 1. Then 1
(a) f is one-one but not onto in R. (b) f is onto R but not one-one in R.
(c) f is one-one and onto in R. (d) f is neither one-one and onto in R.
Sol. For x1, x2 ∈ R,
f(x1) = f(x2)
⇒ x13 + 5x1 + 1 = x23 + 5x2 + 1
⇒ x13 – x23 + 5(x1 – x2) = 0
⇒ (x1 – x2)(x12 + x1x2 + x22 + 5) = 0 \ x1 = x2
Therefore, f (x) is one-one.
410
Again, as f (x) = x3 + 5x + 1 is a polynomial function so it is continuous in R.
f is continuous at every point of its domain R. It takes all values in (– ∞, ∞). Therefore, f (x) is onto. Hence, f (x)
is one-one and onto.
\ (c) is the correct answer.

Q34. Find the area included between the two curves y2 = 9x and x2 = 9y. 3
OR
Using integration, find the area of the region bounded by the triangle whose vertices are (2, –2), (4, 5) and (6, 2).
Sol. As shown in the figure, we have to find the area OAPBO.
Solving the given two equations simultaneously, we have
x4 = 81y2 = 81(9x) = 729 x
⇒ x4 – 729x = 0 ⇒ x(x3 – 729) = 0

⇒ x = 0, x3 = 729 = (9)3 ⇒ x = 9

Answer each of the following:

(i) Let Z = 5x + 7y be the objective function. Find the maximum and minimum value of Z and also the
corresponding points at which the maximum and minimum value occurs.
(ii) Let Z = px + qy, where p, q > 0 be the objective function. Find the condition on p and q so that the maximum
value of Z occurs at A(7, 0) and B(3, 4). Also mention the number of optimal solutions in this case.
Sol. Equations corresponding to the given constraints are
3x + 5y = 15
5x + 2y = 10
x = 0, y = 0
Drawing the bounding lines corresponding to the given inequalities and considering their common solution space,

OR
(i) Feasible region is bounded.
Maximum of Z must occur at the corner point of the feasible region.
We have Z = 5x + 7y
Corner points of the feasible region are
(0, 0), (0, 2), (3, 4) and (7, 0)
At (0, 0) Z = 5(0) + 7(0) = 0
At (0, 2) Z = 5(0) + 7(2) = 14

At (3, 4) Z = 5(3) + 7(4) = 43

At (7, 0) Z = 5(7) + 7(0) = 35
We see that maximum value of Z is 43 and minimum value of Z is 0.
(ii) Since maximum value of Z occurs at A(7, 0) and B(3, 4)

\ 7p + 0 = 3p + 4q

⇒ 7p = 3p + 4q

⇒ 7p – 3p = 4q

⇒ 4p = 4q

⇒ p = q
Number of optimal solutions are infinite.
