Section A

1.
(d) sin 17x - sin 11x
Explanation: We have, 2 (1 − 2 sin 2
7x) sin 3x = 2(cos 14x) sin 3x

2
[∵ cos 2x = 1 − 2 sin x]

= 2 cos 14x.sin3x
= sin17x - sin11x [∵ 2 cos AsinB = sin(A + B) - sin(A - B)]
2
∴ 2 (1 − 2si n 7x) sin3x = sin17x − sin11x

2. (a) R - { - 1 / 2 ,1 }
2
x −x
Explanation: Let y = 2
x +2x

y(x2+2x)= x2-x
yx(x+2)= x(x-1)
y(x+2)= x-1
x(y − 1) = −(1 + 2y)

(1+2y)
x = −
y−1

Value of x can’t be zero or it cannot be not defined.Therefore,

y = 1, -1/2 are not possible.
So, range = R - { -1/2, 1}
3.

Explanation: P (A) = 1

3
P (B)

⇒ P(B) = 3 P(A) ....(1)

A and B are mutually exclusive events.
⇒ P (A ∩ B) = 0

Now ,
P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) = P(S)
⇒ P(A) + P(B) = 1

⇒ P(A) + 3P(A) = 1[From (1)]

⇒ 4 P(A)=1
1
⇒ P (A) =
4

4. (a) cos 9

2 2
⇒ |z| = √a + b

Let z̄ = a - ib

(c) 2mn
Explanation: Since we know that a relation from A to B consists of mn ordered pairs if they contain m and n elements
respectively.
Each subset of those mn pairs will be a relation. so, each pair has two choices, either to be in that particular relation or not.
So, we have a total of 2mn relations.

11. (a) N
Explanation: We have,A′ ∪ (A ∪ B) ∩ B′
= A′ ∪ [(B’ ∩ A) ∪ (B’ ∩ B)] {∵ Distributive property of set: (A ∩ B) ∪ (A ∩ C) = A ∩ (B ∪ C)}
= A′ ∪ [(A ∩ B’) ∪ Φ] {∵ (B’ ∩ B) = ϕ}
= A′ ∪ (A ∩ B’) = (A’ ∪ A) ∩ (A’ ∪ B’) {∵ Distributive property of set: (A ∪ B) ∩ (A ∪ C) = A ∪ (B ∩ C)}

Page 7 of 17
 = Φ ∩ (A’ ∪ B’) {∵ (A’ ∩ A) = ϕ}
= (A’ ∪ B’) = (A ∩ B)’ {∵ (A’ ∪ B’)
= (A ∩ B)’} A′ ∪ (A ∪ B) ∩ B′ = (A ∩ B)’
A contains all odd numbers and B contains all even numbers
Therefore, A ∩ B = ϕ
⇒ A′ ∪ (A ∪ B) ∩ B′ = {ϕ}’
⇒ A′ ∪ (A ∪ B) ∩ B′ = N

−−−−−−−−−−− − −−−−−−−−−−−−
2 2 2 2
⇒ √(1 + y) + (x) = √(y − 1) + (x)

2 2 2 2
⇒ (1 + y) + (x) = (y − 1) + (x)

2 2 2 2
⇒ 1 + y + 2y + x = 1 + y − 2y + x

⇒ y = 0

Which is the real axis.

24. We know that,Natural numbers = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,…

If x = 1, then 2x + 3 = 2(1) + 3 = 2 + 3 = 5 ≠ 4
∴ no elements in the set B because the given equationequation 2x + 3 = 4 is not satisfied for any natural number of x.

Hence, It is a null set.

3x - 15 - 5y + 15 = 0

Therefore, the required equation of line is 3x - 5y = 0.

27. Let x and x + 2 be two consecutive odd positive integers

Then x + 2 < 10 and x + x + 2 > 11.
