(31) R = {(1,1) (2, 2)L (n, n)}

R is reflexive since (a, a ) ∈ R ∀ a ∈ S
R is symmetric since there is no pair (a, b) ∈ R such that (b, a) ∈ R
R is transitive since (a, b) and (b, c) ∉ R ⇒ (a, c) ∉ R .
Since R is reflexive, symmetric and transitive
the relation R is an equivalence relation.

(43) (a) Let P(n) = 2 + 4 + 6 + L + 2n = n2 + n ∀n ∈ N
Step (1)
Put n = 1
P (1) = 2 × 1 = 12 + 1
2 =1
∴ P(1) is true.
Step (2)
Put n = k
Let P(k ) = 2 + 4 + L + 2k = k 2 + k be true.
Step (3)
Put n = k + 1
8
 P(k + 1) = 2 + 4 + L + 2(k + 1) = (k + 1) 2 + (k + 1) = (k + 1)(k + 2)
L.H.S. = 2 + 4 + L + 2k + 2(k + 1)
= k (k + 1) + 2(k + 1)
= (k + 1)(k + 2)
∴ P ( k + 1) is true.

End of 2nd hour = 30 × 22 = 120
End of 4th hour = 30 × 24 = 480

Thus one vector is a linear combination of other 2 vectors.
∴ The given vectors are coplanar.

(47) (a) Let a, v and s be the acceleration, velocity and distance respectively.

v =

a = = −8m / s 2
dt

∫ dv = ∫ −8 dt
v = −8t + c1
When the brakes are applied, t = 0 and v = 24 m / s
24 = −8 × 0 + c1
c1 = 24
∴ v = −8t + 24
ds

dt
∴ ds = ∫ (−8t + 24)dt

s = − + 24t + c2

s = −4t 2 + 24t + c2
when t = 0 , s = 0
0 = c2
∴ s = −4t 2 + 24t
when the bike stops, v = 0
−8t + 24 = 0
t =3
when t = 3, s = −4 × 32 + 24 × 3
= −36 + 72
s = 36 metres
The bike stops at a distance 4 metres to the barriers.
(b) The equation of pair of straight lines is 2 x 2 − xy − 3 y 2 − 6 x + 19 y − 20 = 0 .
12
 Consider
2 x 2 − xy − 3 y 2 = (2 x − 3 y )( x + y )
2 x 2 − xy − 3 y 2 − 6 x + 19 y − 20 = (2 x − 3 y + l )( x + y + m)
Equating the coefficient of x; y , constant term
−6 = l + 2 m ... (1)
19 = l − 3m ... (2)
−20 = lm ... (3)
Solving (1) and (2),
l + 2 m = −6
l − 3m = 19
5m = −25
m = −5
∴ l + (−10) = −6
l = 4
∴ Separate equations are
2x − 3y + 4 = 0
x + y −5 = 0
