22 When we apply for any qualifying examinations like SSB, NET, etc.., we were provided with an 1

23 While shopping in the market, we use many methods of calculation (namely addition, 1
subtraction, multiplication, division). We observe that we mainly use two numbers to use these
operators. Even when there are three numbers, we first use the first two umbers and the result
is then used along with third number. Thus, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division are
considered to be binary operators. Assume that the numbers you have come across belong to
the natural number. Then, which of the following statement is false according to the above
condition?
(a) Addition & subtraction are binary operators in N.
(b) Subtraction & division are not binary operators in N.
(c) Addition is binary operators in N.
(d) Multiplication is binary operator in N.

24 Assertion-Reason Based Question: 1

Each question consists of two statements, namely, Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Mark your
answer as per the codes provided below:
(1) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
(2) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(3) A is true but R is false.
 (4) A is false but R is true.

Assertion (A): If we consider two function f & g, and the outcome of f become the input of g, for
it to be called composition of function.

Reason (R): Two function f & g is a composite function (i.e., gof) exists iff range of f is a subset of
domain of g.
25 Consider two machine A & B, for it to be working in an arranged manner, the materials of B 1
come from the product/output of machine A. if we change the method of inserting the material
i.e.., if the material A gets its material directly from the product of machine B. Then, could the
machine work in the same manner as before?
(a) No, the machine will not work for the second case in the same manner as before.
(b) Yes, it will work.
(c) No, it will not work because the composition of two function is not commutative in
nature.
(d) Can’t say
26 Let us consider a group of all prime number and a group of all even numbers. So, when we 1

the above-mentioned concept, which of the following statements is consider to be false?
(a) The group contain all the provided concept can be called domain of the relation.
(b) The unsolved question asked by the students is called codomain of the relation.
(c) The group containing all the provided concept can be called codomain of the relation
(d) The range of the relation is all those questions related to concept being taught by sir.

essence. Which of the following represent this given example?

29 In order to maintain the voltage, we need stabilizers. In stabilizers, whatever measurement of 1
voltage like for example 200V, 220V, 240V, even 260V of voltage is passed, the output will
always be 240V, because the work of the stabilizer is to give a constant voltage in return. This is
example shows what type of function?
(a) One-one function
(b) One-many function
(c) Onto function
(d) Many-one function
30 Assertion-Reason Based Question: 1
 Each question consists of two statements, namely, Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Mark your
answer as per the codes provided below:

(2) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(3) A is true but R is false.
(4) A is false but R is true.
Assertion (A): If we consider two function R and N containing the roll number and name of Class
X students. We observe that while compositing R & N, to get RoN, first R then N is applied, while
in reverse process, first the reverse process of N is applied and then reverse process of R is
applied. Both the process is applicable.
Reason (R): Inverse is defined only for the function which is onto function.
