Question 1[a]: Let R be a relation defined on A = {1, 2, 3} by R = [{1, 3} , {3, 1}, {2, 2}]. R is

(a) Reflexive (b) Symmetric

(c) Transitive (d) Reflexive but not transitive

Answer: [b]

[b] Find f o g and g o f if f(x) = |x + 1| and g (x) = 2x – 1.

Solution:

f o g (x) = f (g (x)) = f (2x – 1)

= |2x – 1 + 1|

= |2x|

g o f (x) = g (f (x)) = g (x + 1)

= 2 |x + 1| – 1

[c] Let “*” be a binary operation defined on N x N by (a, b) * (c, d) = (a + c, b + d). Find the identity element for * if it exists.

Solution:

If (c, d) is the identity element,

(a, b) * (c, d) = (a, b)

(a, b) * (c, d) = (a + c, b + d)

(a + c, b + d) = (a, b)

(c, d) = (0, 0) is not an element of N x N.

So, the identity element doesn’t exist.

Question 2[a]: The principal value of cot^-1 (1 / √3) is

(a) 𝛑 / 3 (b) – 𝛑 / 3 (c) 𝛑 / 6 (d) 2𝛑 / 3

Answer: [d]

[b] Solve tan^-1 (x – 1) / (x – 2) + tan^-1 (x + 1) / (x + 2) = 𝛑 / 4.

Solution:

tan^-1 (x – 1) / (x – 2) + tan^-1 (x + 1) / (x + 2)

𝛑 / 4 = tan^-1 [{(x – 1) / (x – 2)} + {(x + 1) / (x + 2)}] / [1 – {(x – 1) / (x – 2)} * {(x + 1) / (x + 2)}]

𝛑 / 4 = [2x² – 4] / -3

x = ± 1 / √2

Question 3[a]: The value of k such that the matrix is symmetric is

(a) 0 (b) 1 (c) -1 (d) 2

Answer: k = 0

[b] If A = then prove that A² = .

Solution:

[c] If A = , then find |3A’|.

Solution:

Question 4[a]: If A = such that A² = I then a equals to

(a) 1 (b) -1 (c) 0 (d) 2

Answer: [c]

[b] Solve the system of equations:

x – y + z = 4

2x + y – 3z = 0

x + y + z = 2 by matrix method.

Solution:

Question 5[a]: Find the value of a and b such that the function

is continuous.

Solution:

5a = 1

a = 1 / 5

a = b – (𝛑 / 2)

b = (1 / 5) + (𝛑 / 2)

[b] Find dy / dx if (sin x)^{cos y} = (cos y)^{sin x}.

Solution:

log ((sin x)^{cos y}) = log (cos y)^{sin x}

cos y log sin x = sin x log cos y

cos y * ( 1 / sin x) * cos x + log sin x * (- sin y) (dy / dx) = sin x * (1 / cos y) * (- sin y) (dy / dx) log cos y cos x

dy / dx = [cos x * log cos y – cos y cot x] / [sin x tany – sin y log sin x]

Question 6[a]: Slope of the normal curve y² = 4x at (1, 2) is

(a) 1 (b) 1 / 2 (c) 2 (d) -1

[b] Find the interval in which 2x³ + 9x² + 12x – 1 is strictly increasing.

OR

[a] The rate of change of volume of a sphere with respect to its radius when its radius is 1 unit

(a) 4𝛑 (b) 2𝛑 (c) 𝛑 (d) 𝛑 / 2

[b] Find two positive numbers whose sum is 16 and the sum of whose cubes are minimum.

Solution:

f’ (x) = 0

x = -1, -2

The intervals are (- ∞, -2), (- 2, – 1) and (- 1, ∞).

f’ (x) > 0 is increasing in (- ∞, -2) and (- 1, ∞).

OR

x + y = 16

y = 16 – x

Sum S = x² + y²

= x² + (16 – x)²

= x² + 256 + x² – 32x

= 2x² – 32x + 256

dS / dx = 4x – 32

For the sum to be minimum, dS / dx = 0

4x – 32 = 0

4x = 32

x = 8

y = 16 – x

Substituting the x value,

y = 16 – 8 = 8

So, the two numbers are 8 and 8.

Question 7: Find the following.

[a] ∫1 / [x (x⁷ + 1)] dx

[b] ∫₁⁴ |x – 2| dx

Solution:

= ∫x⁶ / [x⁷ (x⁷ + 1)] dx

Put t = x⁷

dt = 7x⁶ dx

= (1 / 7) ∫dt / t (t + 1)

= (1 / 7) [∫([1 / t] + [-1 / t + 1])] dt

= (1 / 7) [log x⁷ – log (1 + x⁷)] + c

= ∫₁² (2 – x) dx + ∫₂⁴ (x – 2) dx

= [(2 – x)² / -2]₁² + [(x – 2)² / 2]₂⁴

= (0 – (-1 / 2)) + ((4 / 2) + 0)

= 5 / 2

Question 8[a]: Evaluate ∫₀^𝛑/2 log sin x dx

OR

[b] Evaluate ∫₀⁴ x² dx as the limit of a sum.

Solution:

= ∫₀^𝛑/2 log sin (𝛑 / 2 – x) dx

I = ∫₀^𝛑/2 log cos x dx

2I = ∫₀^𝛑/2 [log sin x + log cos x] dx

= ∫₀^𝛑/2 log sin 2x – ∫₀^𝛑/2 log 2 dx

= I – (𝛑 / 2) log 2

I = – (𝛑 / 2) log 2

= lim _h→0 h³ [1² + 2² + …… (n – 1)²]

= lim _h→0 h³ [n (n – 1) (2n – 1) / 6]

= lim _h→0 h³ n³ * (1 – [1 / n]) (2 – [1 / n]) / 6

= 4 * 4 * 8 / 6

= 64 / 3

Question 9[a]: Area bounded by the curves y = cos x, x = 𝛑 / 2, x = 0, y = 0 is

(a) 1 / 2 (b) 2 / 𝛑 (c) 1 (d) 𝛑 / 2

[b] Find the area between the curve y² = 4ax and x² = 4ay, a > 0.

Solution:

[a] Answer: (c)

The point of intersection is (4a, 4a).

Area = ∫₀^4a √4ax dx – ∫₀^4a (x² / 4a) dx

= 2√a [(x^3/2 / (3 / 2)]₀^4a – (1 / 4a) (x³ / 3)₀^4a

= [16 / 3] a²

Question 10[a]: The order of the differential equation x⁴ d²y / dx² = 1 + (dy / dx)³ is

(a) 1 (b) 3 (c) 4 (d) 2

[b] Find the particular solution of the differential equation (1 + x²) dy / dx + 2xy = 1 / 1 + x², y = 0 when x = 1.

Solution:

Divide both sides by (1 + x²)

dy / dx + 2xy / 1 + x² = 1 / (1 + x²)²

dy / dx + (2x / 1 + x²)y = 1 / (1 + x²)²

Comparing with dy / dx + Py = Q

IF = e^{∫P dx}

Let 1 + x² = t

2x dx = dt

dx = dt / 2

IF = e^{∫(2x / t) (dt / 2x)}

= e^{∫dt / t}

= e^{log |t|}

= t

IF = 1 + x²

Solution of the differential equation is y * IF = ∫Q * IF dx

y * (1 + x²) = ∫[1 / (1 + x²)²] * (1 + x²) dx

y * (1 + x²) = tan^-1 x + c

C = – 𝝿 / 4

y * (1 + x²) = tan^-1 x – 𝝿 / 4

Question 11[a]: The projection of the vector 2i + 3j + 2k on the vector i + j + k is

(a) 3 / √3 (b) 7 / √3 (c) 3 / √17 (d) 7 / √17

[b] Find the area of a parallelogram whose adjacent sides are the vectors 2i + j + k and i – j.

Solution:

|a x b| = i + j – 3k

|a x b| = √11

Question 12[a]: The angle between the vectors i + j and j + k is

(a) 60^o (b) 30^o (c) 45^o (d) 90^o

[b] If a, b, c are unit vectors such that a + b + c = 0, find the value of a . b + b . c + c . a.

Solution:

(a + b + c)² = 0

|a|² + |b|² + |c|² + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca = 0

3 + 2 (a . b + a . c + b . c) = 0

(a . b + a . c + b . c) = – 3 / 2

Question 13[a]: The line x – 1 = y = z is perpendicular to the line

(a) x – 2 / 1 = y – 1 / 2 = z / -3 (b) x – 2 = y – 2 = z

(c) x – 2 / 1 = y – 1 / 2 = z / -3 (d) x = y = 2 / 3

[b] Find the shortest distance between the lines r = i + 2j + 3k + ƛ (i + j + k) and r = i + j + k + 𝛍 (i + j + k).

Solution:

a₂ = i + j + k

b₁ = i + j + k

b₂ = i + j + k

a₂ – a₁ = – j – 2k

Shortest distance = |b x (a₂ – a₁) / |b|| = √2

Question 14[a]: Distance of the point (0, 0, 1) from the plane x + y + z = 3.

(a) 1 / √3 (b) 2 / √3 (c) √3 (d) √3 / 2

[b] Find the equation of the plane through the line of intersection of the planes x + y + z = 1 and 2x + 3y + 4z = 5 which is perpendicular to x – y + z = 0.

Solution:

(2ƛ + 1) x + (3ƛ + 1) y + (4ƛ + 1) z – 5ƛ – 1 = 0

(2ƛ + 1) (1) + (3ƛ + 1) (-1) + (4ƛ + 1) (1) = 0

ƛ = – 1 / 3

(x + y + z – 1) – (1 / 3) (2x + 3y + 4z – 5) = 0

x – z + 2 = 0

Question 15[a]: Consider the linear programming problem:

Maximise Z = 50x + 40y

Subject to constraints

x + 2y ≥ 10

3x + 4y ≤ 24

x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0

[a] Find the feasible region.

[b] Find the corner points of the feasible region.

[c] Find the maximum value of Z.

[b] There are two identical bags. The bag I contain 3 red and 4 black balls while Bag II contains 5 red and 4 black balls. One ball is drawn at random from one of the bags.

[i] Find the probability that the ball drawn is red.

[ii] If the ball drawn is red what is the probability that it was drawn from Bag I?

OR

Consider the following probability distribution of a random variable X.

[i] Find the value of K.

[ii] Determine the mean and variance of K.

Solution:

P (A / E1) = 5 / 9

P (A / E2) = 3 / 7

P (the ball drawn is red) = (1 / 2) (5 / 9) + (1 / 2) (3 / 7)

= 62 / 126

= 31 / 63

= (1 / 2) * (3 / 7) / (1 / 2) (5 / 9) + (1 / 2) (3 / 7)

= 27 / 62

OR

K = 7 / 16

= 0 + (2 / 16) + (14 / 16) + (15 / 16) + (4 / 16)

= 35 / 16

E (X²) = ∑X² * P (X)

= 0 + (2 / 16) + (28 / 16) + (45 / 16) + (16 / 16)

= 91 / 16

Variance = ∑X² * P (X) – [∑X * P (X)]²

= 91 / 16 – [35 / 16]²

= 231 / 256

= 0.902
