(d) (0, 5)
Explanation: Let (0, y) be the point on Y-axis which is equidistant from the points (-1, 2) and (3, 4)
By applying the distance formula,
(0 + 1)2 + (y - 2)2 = (3 - 0)2 + (4 - y)2
on simplifying we get
4y = 20
Therefore y = 5
Hence the point on the y-axis is (0, 5)

7.
(b) arg (z1) = arg (z2)
Explanation: Let z1 = r1 (cos θ1 + i sin θ1) and z2 = r2 (cos θ2 + i sin θ2)
Since |z1 + z2| = |z1| + |z2|
⇒ z1 + z2 = r1 cos θ1 + ir1 sin θ1+ r2 cos θ2 + ir2 sin θ2
⇒ |z1 + z2|
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−

But |z1 + z2| = |z1| + |z2|

−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
2 2
⇒ √r + r + 2r1 r2 cos(θ1 − θ2 ) = r1 + r2
1 2

Squaring both sides,

2 2 2 2
⇒ r + r + 2r1 r2 cos(θ1 − θ2 ) = r + r + 2r1 r2
1 2 1 2

⇒ 2r1r2 – 2r1r2 cos (θ1 – θ2) = 0

⇒ 1 – cos (θ1 – θ2) = 0
⇒ cos (θ1 – θ2) = 1
⇒ (θ1 – θ2) = 0
⇒ θ1 = θ2
∴ arg (z1) = arg (z2)

⇒ x + 10 < 0
⇒ x < -10, but given x ∈ W
Hence the solution set will be null set.

Explanation: When arranged alphabetically, the letters of the word KRISNA are A, I, K, N, R and S.
Number of words that will be formed with A as the first letter = Number of arrangements of the remaining 5 letters = 5!
Number of words that will be formed with I as the first letter = Number of arrangements of the remaining 5 letters = 5!
∴ The number of words beginning with KA = Number of arrangements of the remaining 4 letters = 4!

The number of words starting with KI = Number of arrangements of the remaining 4 letters = 4!
Alphabetically, the next letter will be KR. Number of words starting with KR followed by A, i.e. KRA = Number of
arrangements of the remaining 3 letters = 3!

Page 9 of 20
 Number of words starting with KRI followed by A, i.e. KRIA = Number of arrangements of the remaining 2 letter = 2!
Number of words starting with KRI followed by N, i.e. KRIN = Number of arrangements of the remaining 2 letter = 2!
The first word beginning with KRIS is the word KRISAN and the next word is KRISNA.
∴ Rank of the word KRISNA = 5! + 5! + 4! + 4! + 3! + 2! + 2! + 2 = 324

19.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: Assertion: We know that, a set which is empty or consists of a definite number of elements, is called finite,
otherwise the set is called infinite. Since, set A contains finite number of elements. So, it is a finite set.
Reason: We do not know the number of elements in B, but it is some natural number. So, B is also finite.
20. (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: Assertion: Given GP 4, 16, 64, ...
∴ a = 4, r = =4>1

Clearly, (0, 0) is a point on the graph. Now, when x > 0, we have |x| = x, and so in this case, we have, f(x) = 1, i.e., f(x ) = 1 for all
values of x >0.
And, when x < 0, we have |x| = -x
therefore, f(x ) = -1 for all values of x < 0
Hence the graph may be drawn, as shown in the adjoining figure.
Clearly, the function is broken (i.e., it is discontinuous) at each of the points x = -1, 0 and 1.
OR
Here we have, A = {2, 3} and B = {3, 5}
i. To find: (A × B) and n(A × B)
(A × B) = {(2, 3), (2, 5), (3, 3), (3, 5)}

Thus, n(A × B) = 4
ii. As we know that: (A × B) = 2 × 2 = 4
So, the total number of relations can be defined from A to B

23. We have to find the probability that none of the tickets drawn has a prime number.
Out of 50 tickets, 2 tickets can be drawn in 50C2 ways

So, the total number of elementary events 50C2 = 1225

Number of non-primes from 1 to 50 = 50 - 15 = 35.
Out of these 35 numbers 2 can be selected in 35C2 ways.

∴ Favourable number of elementary events = 35C2 = 595

So, required probability = 595

OR
We have given that
A dice is thrown twice. And each time number appearing on it is recorded.
We have to find:
i. A = Both numbers are odd.
ii. B = Both numbers are even.
iii. C = Sum of the numbers is less than 6

Explanation: when the dice is thrown twice then the number of sample spaces are 62 = 36
Now,
The possibility both odd numbers are:
A = {(1, 1), (1, 3), (1, 5), (3, 1), (3, 3), (3, 5), (5, 1), (5, 3), (5, 5)}
Since, Possibility of both even numbers are:
B = {(2, 2)(2, 4)(2, 6)(4, 2)(4, 4)(4, 6)(6, 2)(6, 4)(6, 6)}
And, Possible outcome of sum of the numbers is less than 6
C = {(1, 1)(1, 2)(1, 3)(1, 4)(2, 1)(2, 2)(2, 3)(3, 1)(3, 2)(4, 1)}
Therefore,
(A ∪B) = {(1, 1), (1, 3), (1, 5), (3, 1), (3, 3), (3, 5), (5, 1), (5, 3), (5, 5) (2, 2)(2, 4)(2, 6)(4, 2)(4, 4)(4, 6)(6, 2)(6, 4)(6, 6)}
(A∩B) = {Փ}
(A∪C) = {(1, 1), (1, 3), (1, 5), (3, 1), (3, 3), (3, 5), (5, 1), (5, 3), (5, 5) (1, 2)(1, 4)(2, 1)(2, 2)(2, 3)(3, 1)(3, 2)(4, 1)}
(A∩C) = {(1, 1)(1, 3)(3, 1)}
Hence, (AՌB) = ∅ and (AՌC) ≠ ∅ , A and B are mutually exclusive, but A and C are not.
24. We have L.H.S , A - (B ∩ C) = A ∩ (B ∩ C)' [∵ X - Y = X ∩ Y']
= A ∩ (B' ∪ C') [∵ (B ∩ C)' = B' ∪ C']
= (A ∩ B') ∪ (A ∩ C') [∵ ∩ is distributive over ∪]
= (A - B) ∪ (A - C) = R.H.S
Hence proved.

So, the number of words in which both L come together = 8!

Hence, the number of words in which both L do not come together

Hence, the total number of words in which both L do not come together is 5880

(A ∩ B)' means Complement of (A ∩ B) with respect to universal set U.

Page 14 of 20
 Therefore, (A ∩ B)' = U - (A ∩ B)
U - (A ∩ B)' is defined as {x ∈ U : x ∉ (A ∩ B)'}
U = {2, 3, 5, 7, 9}
(A ∩ B)' = {7}
U - (A ∩ B)' = {2, 3, 5, 9}
A' means Complement of A with respect to universal set U.
Therefore, A' = U - A
U - A is defined as {x ∈ U : x ∉ A}
U = {2, 3, 5, 7, 9}
A = {3, 7}
A' = {2, 5, 9}
B' means Complement of B with respect to universal set U.

U - B is defined as {x ∈ U : x ∉ B}
U = {2, 3, 5, 7, 9}
B = {2, 5, 7, 9}.

Now, a2 = b2(e2 − 1) ⇒ a2 = (be)2 − b2 ⇒ a2 = 10 − b2 [∵ be = √10]
–

If b2 = 18, then a2 = 10 − b2 ⇒ a2 = 10 − 18 = −8, which is not possible.

∴ b2 = 5 and hence a2 = 10 − b2 ⇒ a2 = 10 − 5 = 5.

⇒ 16x - 12x < 12x + 36 - 12x [ subtracting 12x from bot sides]

⇒ 4x < 36 ⇒ x < 9 [dividing both sides by 4]

Thus, any value of x less than 9 satisfies the inequality. So, the solution of inequality (i) is given by x ∈ (−∞, 9)

⇒ 7x - 6x > 6x + 4 - 6x [subtracting 6x from both sides]

∴ x>4
Thus, any value of x greater than 4 satisfies the inequality.
So, the solution set is x ∈ (4, ∞)

The solution set of inequalities (i) and (ii) are represented graphically on number line as given below:

Clearly, the common value of x lie between 4 and 9.

Hence, the solution of the given system is, 4 < x < 9 i.e., x ∈ (4, 9)
35. We have to prove that sin 5x = 5 sin x - 20 sin3 x + 16 sin5 x.
Let us consider LHS = sin 5x
sin 5x = sin(3x + 2x)
But we know,
sin(x + y) = sin x cos y + cos x sin y ... (i)
⇒ sin 5x = sin 3x cos 2x + cos 3x sin 2x
⇒ sin 5x = sin (2x + x) cos 2x + cos (2x + x) sin 2x ... (ii)
And
cos (x + y) = cos(x)cos(y) - sin(x)sin(y) ... (iii)
Now substituting equation (i) and (iii) in equation (ii), we get
⇒ sin 5x = (sin 2x cos x + cos 2x sin x)cos 2x + (cos 2x cos x - sin 2x sin x) sin 2x

⇒ sin 5x = sin 2x cos 2x cos x + cos2 2x sin x + (sin 2x cos 2x cos x - sin2 2x sin x)
⇒ sin 5x = 2sin 2x cos 2x cos x + cos2 2x sin x - sin2 2x sin x ... (iv)
Now sin 2x = 2sin x cos x ... (v)
And cos 2x = cos2x - sin2x ... (vi)

Page 17 of 20

⇒ sin 5x = 2(2sin x cos x)(cos2x - sin2x)cos x + (cos2x - sin2x)2sin x - (2sin x cos x)2sin x
⇒ sin 5x = 4(sin x cos2 x)([1 - sin2x] - sin2x) + ([1 - sin2x] - sin2x)2sin x - (4sin2 x cos2 x)sin x (as cos2x + sin2x = 1 ⇒ cos2x =

⇒ sin 5x = 4(sin x [1 - sin2x])(1 - 2sin2x) + (1 - 2sin2x)2sin x - 4sin3 x [1 - sin2x]
⇒ sin 5x = 4sin x(1 - sin2x)(1 - 2sin2x) + (1 - 4sin2x + 4sin4x)sin x - 4sin3 x + 4sin5x
⇒ sin 5x = (4sin x - 4sin3x)( 1 - 2sin2x) + sin x - 4sin3x + 4sin5x - 4sin3 x + 4sin5x
⇒ sin 5x = 4sin x - 8sin3x - 4sin3x + 8sin5x + sin x - 8sin3x + 8sin5x

 Consider the graphs of the functions f(x), h(x) and g(x).

(i) h(x) = [x] is the greatest integer function. Its range is Z (set of integers)
(ii) f(x) = |x|. The domain of f(x) is R.
(iii)Since 10 > 0, f(10) = 1.
OR
g(x) is the signum function. Its range is {-1, 0, 1}.

38. Read the text carefully and answer the questions:

Two complex numbers Z1 = a + ib and Z2 = c + id are said to be equal, if a = c and b = d.
(i) (x + iy)(2 - 3i) = 4 + i
2x − (3x)i + (2y)i − 3yi2 = 4 + i
2x + 3y ​+ (2y − 3x)i = 4 + i
Comparing the real & imaginary parts,
2x + 3y = 4 ...(i)
2y − 3x = 1 ...(ii)
Solving eq (i) & eq (ii), 4x + 6y = 8
−9x + 6y = 3
