We will now walk you through the target examinations and some key features of the book that enhance the learning experience.
TARGET EXAMINATION
Admission to Undergraduate Engineering Programs at IITs, NITs and other Center and State (participating) funded Technical Institutions
use the Joint Entrance Examination Main (JEE Main) score as eligibility/merit criteria. The JEE (Main) is also an eligibility test for the Joint
Entrance Examination Advanced [JEE (Advanced)], which is mandatory for the candidate if he/she is aspiring for admission to the under-
graduate program offered by the IITs. The JEE (Advanced) scores are used as an eligibility criteria for admission into IITs.
An effective exam strategy for success in these examinations can be based on the detailed analysis of previous years question papers
and planning your preparation accordingly. The Mathematics Question Paper of these examinations is a judicious mix of easy, moderate
and tough questions. The analysis of question distribution over the units of mathematics syllabus for these examinations is given below.

subset of the Cartesian product A × B . Further, if ( x , y ) ∈R , then
1. A [or (Ac )c ] = A, A ∩ Ac = f and A ∪ Ac = U we say that x is related to y and write this relation as x R y. Hence,
2. A ∪ f = A and A ∩ f = f R {( x , y ); x ∈ A, y ∈B , x R y } .
3. A ∪ U = U and A ∩ U = A As an example, consider A = {1, 2, 3} and B = {1, 8 , 27} , so that
4. A ∩ (B ∪ C) = (A ∩ B) ∪ (A ∩ C) A × B = {(1,1),(1, 8 ), (1, 27), (2,1), (2, 8 ), (2, 27), (3,1), (3, 8 ), (3, 27)} .
5. A ∪ (B ∩ C ) = (A ∪ B ) ∩ (A ∪ C )
Consider now a subset R of A × B , as R = {(1, 1), (2, 8 ), (3, 27)} .
6. A ∪ B = A ∩ B We notice that in every ordered pair of R, the second element
is the cube of the first element, that is, the element of the ordered

pairs of R has a common relationship which is “cube”.
In case, we take A = {2, 4 , 6}, B = {1, 5}, then
1.1.8 Cartesian Product of Sets
A × B = {(2, 1), (2, 5), ( 4 , 1), ( 4 , 5), (6 , 1), (6 , 5)}
The Cartesian product (also known as the cross product) of two Consider now a subset R of A × B as
sets A and B, denoted by A × B (in the same order) is the set of A × B = {(2, 1), (2, 5), ( 4 , 1), ( 4 , 5), (6 , 1), (6 , 5)}
all ordered pairs (x, y) such that x ∈ A and y ∈ B. What we mean Here, the first element in each of the ordered pair is greater
by ordered pair is that the pair (a, b) is not the same pair as (b, a) than the second element. Hence, the relationship is “greater than”.
unless a = b. It implies that A × B ≠ B × A in general. Also if set A Obviously, from the definition, x R y and y R x are not the same, since

and y ∈ A}. We can also define Cartesian product of more than two
sets. For example, 1.2.1 Domain and Range of a Relation
Let R be a relation defined from a set A to a set B, i.e. R ⊆ A × B.
A1 × A2 × A3 × … × An = {(a1, a2, … , an): a1 ∈ A1, a2 ∈ A2, … , an ∈ An}
Then the set of all first elements of the ordered pairs in R is
Illustration 1.1 In a sports club, 65% of children play football, called the domain of R. The set of all second elements of the

R = { y : ( x , y ) ∈R } or { y : y ∈B and ( x , y ) ∈R }.
Solution: Out of 100 children, the total number of children who
do not play Clearly, D ⊆ A andR * ⊆ B.

(iii) basketball = 100 – 75 = 25 Illustration 1.2 Let A = {1, 2, 3} and B = {2, 4, 6, 8}. Let R1 = {(1, 2),
So, the maximum number of children who do not play at least (2, 4), (3, 6)} and R2 = {(2, 4), (2, 6), (3, 8), (1, 6)}. Then find domains
one game is and range of relation R1 and R2.
35 + 30 + 25 = 90
Solution:
Thus, the minimum number of children who play all three games is Domain: R1 = {1, 2, 3}
100 – 90 = 10 Range: R1 = {2, 4, 6}
Domain: R2 = {2, 3, 1}
Hence, the smallest percentage of children playing all three games Range: R2 = {4, 6, 8}
is 10%.
Note: The greatest percentage of children playing all three games

tion R be defined on N by R = {(a, b): a, b ∈ N and a ≤ b}. Show that Therefore, R is reflexive.
R is a partial order relation. 2. (a, b) R (c, d) ⇒ a + d = b + c ⇒ c + b = d + a
⇒ (c, d) R (a, b)
Solution: R is reflexive because a ≤ a ∀ a ∈ N.
Therefore, R is symmetric.
R is transitive because a ≤ b and b ≤ c, so a ≤ c, ∀ a, b, c ∈ N. 3. (a, b) R (c, d) and (c, d) R (e, f) ⇒ a + d = b + c and c + f = d + e
R is anti-symmetric because a ≤ b and b ≤ a, so a = b ∀ a, b ∈ N. ⇒ a + d + c + f = b + c + d + e
Thus, R is a partial order relation. ⇒ a + f = b + e ⇒ (a, b) R (e, f)
Clearly, R = A × B . Hence, R is a universal relation from A to B. Illustration 1.8 Prove that log418 is an irrational number.
Solution: Since we know that

1.5 Basic Inequalities
⇒ x ≥ 2 or x ≤ 0
The following are some important points to remember:
That is,
1. a ≤ b ⇒ either a < b or a = b.
2. a < b and b < c ⇒ a < c. x ∈ (−∞, 0] ∪ [2, ∞) (4)
3. a < b ⇒ a + c < b + c ∀c ∈ R. From Eqs. (3) and (4), we find that
4. a < b and c < d ⇒ a + c < b + d and a − d < b − c. x ∈ ( −∞ , − 1) ∪ [2, ∞ )
5. a < b ⇒ ka < kb if k > 0 and ka > kb if k < 0, that is, inequality
Hence,
sign reverses if both sides are multiplied by a negative number.
x ∈ (0, 1) ∪ ( −∞, −1) ∪ [2, ∞)
In particular, a < b ⇒ −a > −b.
or x ∈ (−∞ , −1) ∪ (0, 1) ∪ [2, ∞)
6. 0 < a < b ⇒ ar < br if r > 0 and ar > br if r < 0.

⇒f(−x) = −f(x)
Solution:
( a) We have Hence, f(x) is an odd function.
f ( x ) = log( x + 1+ x 2 )
Key Points:
That is,
1. If f: X→Y is a real-valued function such that ∀x ∈ D ⇒ −x ∈ D
f ( − x ) = log( − x + 1+ x 2 ) (where D is the domain of f ). If f(−x) = f(x) for every x ∈ D,
then f is said to be an even function and if f(−x) = −f(x), then
( − x + 1+ x 2 )( x + 1+ x 2 ) f is said to be an odd function. The graphs of even functions
f ( − x ) = log
( x + 1+ x 2 ) are symmetric about y-axis [That is, if (x, y) lies on the curve,
then (−x, y) also lies on the curve and those of the odd func-

x + 1+ x 2 the curve, then (−x, −y) also lies on the curve].
Therefore, 2. For any function f, f(x) + f(−x) is an even function and
1 f(x) − f(−x) is an odd function. Thus, any function y = f(x) can
f ( − x ) = log be expressed uniquely as the sum of an even function and

(2) both functions should be equal ∀x ∈ domain, that is 6. If f(x) is a periodic function with period p and g(x) is a strictly

period p.
Example: Consider f(x) = logx − log(x + 1) and g( x ) = log[ x/( x +1)].

That is,
f(x, 0) = f(212x, 0)
Therefore, Figure 1.63
f(2y, 0) = f(2122y, 0)
When x < 0, (x + 1) is minimum.
f(2y, 0) = f(212 + y, 0) When x ≥ 0, (x + 1) is minimum.

−1 ≤ (sin x − 3 cos x + 1) ≤ 3
20. Obviously, here | x | > 2 and x ≠ 1, that is, x ∈( − ∞ , − 2) ∪ (2, ∞ ).
That is, the range is [ −1, 3]. Therefore, for f to be onto,
S = [ −1, 3]. 21. The function f ( x ) = log( x 2 − 6 x + 6 ) is defined when
13. We have log( x 2 − 6 x + 6 ) ≥ 0.
2
f (x) = x + x = x+ | x | x 2 − 6 x + 6 ≥ 1 ⇒ ( x − 5)( x − 1) ≥ 0
Now, f is not one-to-one as
This inequality holds if x ≤ 1 or x ≥ 5. Hence, the domain of the
f ( −1) = f ( −2) = 0
function is ( −∞ , 1] ∪ [5, ∞ ) .
B ut −1 ≠ 2 and also f is not onto since f ( x ) ≥ 0 , ∀x ∈R. Also, 22. We have
the range of f is (0 , ∞ ) ⊂ R .

45. f(x + y) = f(xy) ∀ x, y 2
⇒ x(x – 5) < 0 and x – 5x + 4 ≥ 0
Put
x = y =1 ⇒ f (2) = f (1) ⇒ x ∈ (0, 5) and x∈ (–∞, 1]∪[4,∞)
Therefore, f1 is defined for
Similarly,
f (2) = f (1) = f (3) = ⋅⋅⋅ = f (2006 ) = −1 0 x ∈ (0, 1]∪[4, 5)
and f2 is defined for
46. If function f(x) is symmetrical about x = 1, then f(1 – a) =

Thus, f(x) is defined for

f(x) = sin−1 x + 2 + cos−1 x − 2

Now,

2 2
Since x2 + 1/2 ≥ 1/2, we get 52. We know that f(x + 2) = 2f(x) – f(x + 1). Substituting x = 0, we
get
2 1
x + 2 = 0 or 1 f(2) = 4 – 3 ⇒ f(2) = 1
Substituting x = 1, we get
Since sin−1 [ x 2 + (1/ 2)] is defined only for these two values, f(3) = 6 – 1 ⇒ f(3) = 5
(i) when [ x 2 + (1/ 2)] = 0, we get Substituting x = 2, we get
f(x) = sin−10 + cos−1(−1) = p f(4) = 2 – 5 ⇒ f(4) = –3
2
Substituting x = 3, we get
(ii) when [ x + (1/ 2)] = 1, we get

f(x) = sin−11 + cos−10 = p x x x

Therefore, the range of f(x) = {p }. 53. 3 x + 4 x + 5 x − 6 x = 0 ⇒ + + =1

and Therefore, f ( x ) = 1 will have one real root.

78. We should have Put x = y = 1, f(2) =2 f(1) – 2 = 0
[sin2x] ≥ [cos2x] Put x = 1, y = 2, f(3) = f(1) + f(2) – 2 – 1 = 3 – 3 = 0
which implies that we can have Put x = 1, y = 3, f(4) = f(1) + f(3) – 3 – 1 = –3
[sin2x] = 1, [cos2x] = 1, 0, −1 Hence, only one solution for f(n) = n.

Now, if a ⊂ x, f(a) ⊂ d, we get f –1[f(a)] = a. ⇒ Relation is transitive,

Hence, RoR = {(3, 3); (3, 5); (5, 3); (5, 5)}

Putting x = x + 617 14. y = f(x) = sin {[ x + 5] + { x − { x − { x } }}} = sin {x – {x – {x}}}
f (x + 630) + f (x + 1247) = 0 = sin {x – {[x]}} = sin {x – 0} = sin {x} = sin x
Subtract Eq. (1) from Eq. (2), we get Since,
f (x + 1247) − f (x +13) = 0 p
0<x<
⇒ f ( x + 1247) = f (x + 13) 4

or, f –1 (x) = sin–1x 20. See Fig. 1.84. f −1( x ) remains in the 2nd and 4th quadrants.

Since, tan q = y/x, x ≠ 0, tan 90° = 1/0 and hence undefined.
However, as q increases from 0 to 90°, tan q increases from 0 to +∞.
Similarly, sec 90°, cot 0°, cosec 0° are also undefined. 360° and

Solution:
10. cos( A + B )cos( A − B ) = cos2 A − sin2 B = cos2 B − sin2 A 8

sina - sin(a + b ) + sin(a + 2 b ) - sin(a + 3 b ) + sin 2 A + sin 2B + sin 2C = 4 sin A sin B sin C
1.
sin 2 A + sin 2B - sin 2C = 4 cos A cos B sin C
2.
Solution: sin(B + C - A) + sin( A + C - B ) + sin(B + A - C )

Since, = 4 sin A sin B sin C
sin (p + a ) = –sina and sin (2p + a ) = sina cos 2 A + cos 2B + cos 2C = -1- 4 cos A cos B cos C

Therefore, cos 2 A + cos 2B - cos 2C = 1- 4 sin A sin B cos C

where tana = b/a is the general solution.

Alternatively, putting a = r sina and b = r cosa ,
c sin2 x − 7 sin x cos x + 12 cos2 x = 0
where r = a2 + b2 , sin(

Step (i): Eliminate any one variable, say f . Let q = a be one

Solutions
Practice Exercise 1 ⇒ (sin2 q − 2sin q + 1) + cosq (sinq − 1) = 0
⇒ (sinq − 1)[sinq − 1 + cos q ] = 0
1. Let us first find out q lying between 0° and 360°.
Since, Case 1: Either sin q = 1
−1 ⇒ q = 2np + p/2 where n∈I
sinq = ⇒q = 210° or 330°
2 Case 2: Or, sin q + cos q =1
and
1 ⇒ cos(q −p/4) = cos(p/4) ⇒q − p/4 = 2np ±p/4
tanq = ⇒q = 30° or 210° ⇒q = 2np, 2np + p/2 where n∈I
3
Hence, q = 2np, 2np + p/2.
7p
Hence, q = 210° or is the value satisfying both. 4. sin x cos x [sin2x + sin x cos x + cos2x] = 1
6
7p ⇒ sinx cos x + (sin x cos x)2 = 1
Therefore, the general value of q = 2np + , n ∈I

But sin ≠ 2. Therefore, sin x = (k − 4 ). Now p

7. We have tan 3x = tan 5x. So
5 x = np + 3 x , n ∈ Z ⇒ x = np / 2, n ∈ Z Therefore,
If n is odd, then x = np/2 gives the extraneous solutions. Thus, p
q=
the solution of the given equation can not given by x = np/2, 3
where n is even say n = 2 m, m∈Z. Hence, the required solu-
tion is x = np, n ∈ Z. 12. 5 cos2 q − 3 sin2 q + 6 sinq cos q = 7
8. We have sin4 x − 2 cos2 x + a2 = 0. Let y = sin2 x. Then
1+ cos 2q 1− cos 2q
⇒ 5 − 3 + 3 sin 2q = 7
2
y − 2(1− y ) + a = 0 2 2 2
⇒ 4 cos 2q + 3 sin 2q = 6 ,
⇒ y 2 + 2 y + a2 − 2 = 0
Therefore, p 5p
16. sin 2q + + cos q + = 2 (1)
6 6
p p
cos q + = cos
6 3 p 5p
Since sin 2q + ≤ 1 and cos q + ≤ 1 , therefore
p p 6 6
⇒ q+ =
6 3 p 5p
Eq. (1) may hold true if sin 2q + and cos q + .
p 6 6
⇒q=
6
Both are equal to 1 simultaneously. First, a common value of q = − cos(90° − 54°) = − sin 54°
is 7p / 6 for which −3p
= sin( −54°) = sin
10
p 5p p
sin 2q + = sin = sin = 1 Therefore,
6 2 2
and 3p
q = np + ( −1)n −
5p 7p 5p 10
cos q + = cos + = cos 2p = 1
6 6 6 Thus, one solution of the given equation is
p 3p
Since periodicity of sin 2q + is p and periodicity of q = np + ( −1)n −
6 10
5p p 19. 5p
Clearly,
cos q + is 2p , therefore, the periodicity of sin 2q + + cos
q + x≠ 0. On dividing the equations we get
6 6 6
p 5p cos3 y + 3 cos y sin2 y 14
sin 2q + +is cos
2p. q + =
6 6 sin3 y + 3 cos2 y sin y 13
By componendo and dividendo, we get
Therefore, the general solution is
7p (cos y + sin y )3 14 + 13
q = 2np + =
6 (cos y − sin y )3 14 − 13

⇒ 81sin x + = 30 ⇒ < sin x < ⇒ <x<

Let 81sin x
= t . Then we have 49. q is in the third quadrant. So
81 1 7p
t+ = 30 sinq = − = sin
t 2 6
⇒ t 2 − 30t + 81 = 0 1 7p
tanq = = tan
3 6
⇒ (t − 3)(t − 27) = 0
7p
2 2 q = 2np +
So, 81sin x
= 3 or 81sin x
= 27 6
Let 16sin

x
= t . Then ⇒ 2 cos2 x − 1+ 2 cos2 y − 1+ 2 tan2 x + 2 = 0
⇒ cos2 x + cos2 y + tan2 x = 0
16
⇒ t + = 10 ⇒ t 2 + 16 − 10t = 0 ⇒ cos2 x + tan2 x = − cos2 y
t
⇒ (t − 2)(t − 8 ) = 0 ⇒ t = 2, 8 which is never possible.

Let 7. sin x + sin 3x − 3 sin 2x = cos x + cos 3x − 3 cos 2x
3 2 2 ⇒2 sin 2x cos x − 3 sin 2x = 2 cos x cos 2x − 3 cos 2x
f ( x ) = x + 2 x + 5 x = x ( x + 2 x + 5)
⇒sin 2x (2 cos x − 3) = cos 2x (2 cos x − 3)
⇒(2 cos x − 3) (sin 2x − cos 2x) = 0 (Since cos x ≠ 3/2)
The term in the bracket has no root.
Therefore, sin 2x = cos 2x
Also, f’(x) > 0 and so f(x) is always increasing.

being the two imaginary cube roots of unity, Eq. (5) may be
written as

Therefore,
⇒ arg{( Z1 − Z 4 ) ( Z 2 − Z 3 )} − arg{( Z 3 − Z 4 ) ( Z1 − Z 2 )} = 0

Similarly, it can be proved by combining the terms differently ( Z 3 − Z 4 ) ( Z1 − Z 2 )
| Z1 − Z 3 | = | Z 2 − Z 3 | This is possible, when A, B, C, D are concylic points, that is, when
Hence, Z1, Z2, Z3 and Z4 represent four points which are concylic.
Therefore, the triangle is an equilateral triangle. Solution: Taking Z = x + iy, the equation reduces to

According to given condition f(0) = c
x13 + x 23 = x12 + x 22 f(1) = a + b + c

Also, when p(x) leaves remainder 6 when divided by x + 1, we get a 2 = a + 1 and b 2 = b + 1
Therefore,

46. Suppose that the three numbers are a + d , a, a − d . Therefore,
Therefore, p2 , q2 , r 2 are in AP.

52. It can easily be proved by putting n = 2, 3, 4
a(a + d )(a − d ) = 792 ⇒ 11121
( − d 2 ) = 792 ⇒ d = 7
The difference between an integer and its cube is divisible by 6.
Then required numbers are 4, 11, 18. The smallest number is 4.
53. (a + 2b − c )(2b + c − a)(c + a − b )
47. a, b , c , d , e , f are in AP. So
= (a + a + c − c )(a + c + c − a)(2b − b ) = 4abc
b −a = c −b = d −c = e −d = f −e = K
Since a, b , c are in AP, therefore, 2b = a + c .
where K is the common difference. Now,
d − c = e − d ⇒ e + c = 2d 54. Let A1, A2 , A3 and A4 be four numbers in AP.
e − c + 2c = 2d ⇒ e − c = 2(d − c ) A1 + A4 = 8(1)
2(25 + d 2 ) + 25 = 83 ⇒ 2d 2 = 8 ⇒ d = 2 A1 + A3
A2 = ⇒ A1 = 2 A2 − A3

Thus, the numbers are 3, 5, 7.

F( x ) =
h( x ) u( x ) g′(a ) = A(a ) B(a ) C (a )
A′(a ) B ′(a ) C ′(a )
Then
F(x) = f(x) × u(x) - g(x) × h(x) Since two rows are identical, we have g′(a ) = 0.
and Since g(a) = 0 and also g′(a) = 0, a is a repeated root of g(x) = 0
d Therefore,
F′(x) = F(x)
dx g(x) = (x - a)2h(x)(10.8)
= {f(x) × u′(x) + u(x) × f ′(x)} - {g(x) × h′(x) + h(x) g′(x)} Since a is a repeated root of f(x) = 0, we have
f ¢( x ) g¢( x ) f ( x ) g( x ) f(x) = N(x - a)2(10.9)

h( x ) u( x ) h¢( x ) u¢( x ) where N is some number. From Eqs. (10.8) and (10.9), we find that

Thus, F′(x) is the sum of two determinants of which the first

11.1.1 Cartesian System of Coordinates
To locate a point in a two-dimensional plane, we use Cartesian
system of coordinates (Fig. 11.1). The axes OX and OY together are
called coordinate axes where OX is x-axis and OY is y-axis. The dis-
tance between point Q and the origin O is called ‘abscissa’ of point X
P (i.e. OQ = a) and the distance between point P and point Q is
called ‘ordinate’ of point P (i.e. PQ = b). Figure 11.3
