Explanation: 3

(c) f(x) is non-differentiable at 3 points and continuous everywhere

Explanation:

It is clear from graph that f(x) is continuous everywhere in 0 ≤ x ≤ 2π . And has sharp edge at x = 0, π , 2π so it is not
differentiable at x = 0, π , 2π .
Because it has no unique tangents.
18.
(b) perpendicular to the z-axis
Explanation: It is perpendicular to z-axis.
Given, direction ratios of the line : a1 =3 ,a2=1, a3=0 & direction ratios of z-axis is b1=0, b2=0,b3=1.
Now, a1a2+b1b2+c1c2= 3.0+1.0+0.1=0 which implies that line is perpendicular to z-axis.

19.
(d) A is false but R is true.
Explanation: Let f(x) = 2x3 - 24x
⇒ f'(x) = 6x2 - 24 = 6(x2 - 4)
= 6(x + 2) (x - 2)
For maxima or minima put f'(x) = 0.
⇒ 6(x + 2)(x - 2) = 0

Page 9 of 20
 ⇒ x = 2, -2
We first consider the interval [1, 3].
So, we have to evaluate the value of f at the critical point x = 2 ∈ [1, 3] and at the end points of [1, 3].
At x = 1, f(1) = 2 × 13 - 24 × 1 = -22
At x = 2, f(2) = 2 × 23 - 24 × 2 = -32
At x = 3, f(3) = 2 × 33 - 24 × 3 = -18
∴ The absolute maximum value of f(x) in the interval [1, 3] is -18 occurring at x = 3.

Hence, Assertion is false and Reason is true.

20.
(d) A is false but R is true.
Explanation: Assertion: Given function is f(x ) = x2 + bx + c.
It is a quadratic equation in x.
So, we will get a parabola either downward or upward.
Hence, it is a many-one mapping and not onto mapping.
Hence, it is neither one-one nor onto mapping.
Reason: Total number of functions = (n (B))n(A) = 2n.
Clearly, a function will not be onto if all elements of A map to either a or b.

(

) = y

1
⇒ sin y = −

π
⇒ sin y = − sin

π
⇒ sin y = sin(− )
6

Since, the principal value branch of sin-1 is [− π

2
,
π

2
]

−1
Therefore, principal value of sin −1
(
2
) is − .
π

OR
The domain of sin-1 x is [-1,1]. Therefore, f(x) = sin-1 (-x2) is defined for all x satisfying -1 ≤ -x2 ≤ 1
2
⇒ 1 ≥ x ≥ −1

2
⇒ 0 ≤ x ≤ 1

2
⇒ x ≤ 1

2
⇒ x − 1 ≤ 0

⇒ (x - 1)(x + 1) ≤ 0
⇒ −1 ≤ x ≤ 1

Hence, the domain of f(x) = sin-1 (-x2) is [-1, 1].

22. Let r be the radius and V be the volume of the sphere at any t then,

Now, let S be the surface area of the sphere area at any t then

Differentiating both sides with respect to t,

23. Given:

Now
π π

π π

3 3

1 1
⇒ < cos x <
2 2
1
⇒ − + cos x > 0
2
′
⇒ f (x) > 0

Hence, f(x) is an increasing function on (- π

3
).
OR
3 2
f (x) = 4x − 6x − 72x + 30

′ 2
f (x) = 12x − 12x − 72

2
= 12(x − x − 6)

2
= 12(x − 3x + 2x − 6)

= 12 [x (x − 3) + 2 (x − 3)]

= 12 (x − 3) (x + 2)

Put f ' (x) = 0

x = −2, 3

int Sign of f’(x) Result

(−∞, −2) + tive Increase

(−2, 3) + tive Decrease

(3, ∞) + tive increase

Hence function is
i. increasing in (−∞, −2)
ii. (3, ∞) decreasing in (−2, 3)
24. I = ∫ x
e (sin x + cos x)dx

Now,
Let sin x = f(x) ⇒ f'(x) = cos x
We know that,
x ′ x
∫ e {f (x) + f (x)} dx = e f (x) + c

Thus,
x x
∫ e (sin x + cos x)dx = e sin x + C

25. Given: f (x) = x − x + 1 f(x) = x2 - x + 1 2

⇒ f'(x) = 2x - 1

f(x) is strictly increasing if f'(x) < 0

⇒ 2x - 1 > 0
1
⇒ x >
2

i.e., increasing on the interval ( 1

2
, 1)

f(x) is strictly decreasing if f'(x) < 0

⇒ 2x - 1 < 0
1
⇒ x <
2

i.e., decreasing on the interval (−1, 1

2
)

hence, f(x) is neither strictly increasing nor decreasing on the interval (-1, 1).

30. We first draw the graphs of x + 2y = 10, x + y = 6, 3x + y = 8. The shaded region ABCD is the feasible region (R) determined by
the above constraints. The feasible region is unbounded. Therefore, minimum of Z may or may not occur. If it occurs, it will be on
the corner point.
Corner Point Value of Z

A(0, 8) 40

B(1, 5) 28

C(2, 4) 26 (smallest)

D(10, 0) 30

Let us draw the graph of 3x + 5y < 26 as shown in Fig by dotted line.

We see that the open half plane determined by 3x + 5y < 26 and R do not have a point in common. Thus, 26 is the minimum value
of Z.
OR
Subject to the constraints are
4x + y ≥ 80
x + 5y ≥ 115
3x + 2y ≤ 150
and the non negative constraint x,y ≥ 0

Page 14 of 20
 Converting the given inequations into equations, we get 4x + y = 80, x + 5y = 115, 3x + 2y = 150, x = 0 and y = 0
These lines are drawn on the graph and the shaded region ABC represents the feasible
region of the given LPP.

It can be observed that the feasible region is bounded. The coordinates of the corner
points of the feasible region are A(2, 72), B(15, 20) and C(40, 15) The values of the objective function, Z at these corner points
are given in the following table:
Corner Point Value of the Objective Function Z = 6x + 3y
A(2, 72) : Z = 6 × 2 + 3 × 72 = 228
B(15, 20) : Z = 6 × 15 + 3 × 20 = 150
C(40, 15) : Z = 6 × 40 + 3 × 15 = 285
From the table, Z is minimum at x = 15 and y = 20 and the minimum value of Z is 150. Thus, the minimum value of Z is 150.

we shall first write y in terms of x explicitly i.e y=f(x)
−−−− −−−−−
Clearly, x√1 + y = −y√1 + x
Squaring both sides,we get,
x2(1 + y) = y2 (1 + x)
⇒ x2 + x2y = y2(1 + x)
⇒ x2 - y2 = y2x - x2y
⇒ (x - y)(x + y) = -xy(x - y)
⇒ (x - y)(x + y) + xy(x - y) = 0

⇒ (x - y)(x + y + xy) = 0

∴ Either, x - y = 0 or x + y + xy = 0

Now, x - y = 0 ⇒ x = y
But, it is given that x ≠ y
So, it is a contradiction
Therefore, x - y = 0 is rejected.
Now, consider y + xy + x = 0
−x
⇒ y(1 + x) = -x ⇒ y = ..........(i)

⇒ x = -2, 4

From (2),
When, x = -2, y = 3

OR
Here R is a relation on N × N , defined by (a, b) R (c, d) ⇔ a + d = b + c for all (a, b), (c, d) ∈ N × N

We shall show that R satisfies the following properties

i. Reflexivity:
We know that a + b = b + a for all a, b ∈ N.
∴ (a, b) R (a, b) for all (a, b) ∈ (N × N)

So, R is reflexive.
ii. Symmetry:
Let (a, b) R (c, d). Then,
(a, b) R (c, d) ⇒ a + d = b + c
⇒ c + b = d + a

⇒ (c, d) R (a, b).

∴ (a, b) R (c, d) ⇒ (c, d) R (a, b) for all (a, b), (c, d) ∈ N × N

This shows that R is symmetric.

iii. Transitivity:
Let (a, b) R (c, d) and (c, d) R (e, f). Then,
(a, b) R (c, d) and (c, d) R (e, f)
⇒ a + d = b + c and c + f = d + e

⇒ a + d + c + f = b + c + d + e

⇒ a + f = b + e

⇒ (a, b ) R (e, f).

Page 16 of 20
 Thus, (a, b) R (c, d) and (c, d) R (e, f) ⇒ (a, b) R (e, f)
This shows that R is transitive.
∴ R is reflexive, symmetric and transitive

Hence, R is an equivalence relation on N × N

Taking cube root on both sides, we get

2(600 - x) = x ⇒ 1200 = 3x ⇒ x = 400
Thus, I(x) is minimum when you are at 400 feet from the strong intensity lamp post.
ii. At a distance of 200 feet from the weaker lamp post.
Since I(x) is minimum when x = 400 feet, therefore the darkest spot between the two light is at a distance of 400 feet from a
stronger lamp post, i.e., at a distance of 600 - 400 = 200 feet from the weaker lamp post.
