- ✓
Reflexive but not symmetric
- B
Reflexive but not transitive
- C
- D
Neither symmetric nor transitive
AnswerCorrect option: A. Reflexive but not symmetric
a
(a) Since $ (1, 1); (2, 2); (3, 3) \in R $ therefore $R$ is reflexive. $ (1, 2) \in R$ but $(2, 1) \in R $, therefore $R$ is not symmetric. It can be easily seen that $R$ is transitive.

Let ${R_1}$ be a relation defined by ${R_1} = \{ (a,\,b)|a \ge b,\,a,\,b \in R\} $. Then ${R_1}$ is
AnswerCorrect option: B. Reflexive, transitive but not symmetric
b
(b) For any $a \in R$, we have $a \ge a,$ Therefore the relation $R$ is reflexive but it is not symmetric as $(2, 1)$ $ \in R$ but $(1, 2)$ $ \notin R$. The relation $R$ is transitive also, because $(a,b) \in R,(b,c) \in R$ imply that $a \ge b$ and $b \ge c$ which is turn imply that $a \ge c$.

- B
$\{(1, 1), (4, 4), (7, 7), (3, 3)\}$
- C
$\{(1, 5), (1, 6), (3, 6)\}$
- D
AnswerCorrect option: A. $\{(1, 1), (4, 4), (4, 7), (7, 4), (7, 7), (3, 3)\}$
a
(a) We first find ${R^{ - 1}},$ we have
${R^{ - 1}} = \{ (5,\,4);\,(4,\,1);\,(6,\,4);\,(6,\,7);\,(7,\,3)\} $.
We now obtain the elements of ${R^{ - 1}}oR$ we first pick the element of
$R$ and then of ${R^{ - 1}}$. Since $(4,\,5) \in R$ and $(5,\,4) \in {R^{ - 1}}$, we have $(4,\,4) \in {R^{ - 1}}oR$
Similarly, $(1,\,4) \in R,\,(4,\,1) \in {R^{ - 1}} \Rightarrow \,(1,\,1) \in {R^{ - 1}}oR$
$(4,\,6) \in R,\,(6,\,4) \in {R^{ - 1}} \Rightarrow \,(4,\,4) \in {R^{ - 1}}oR,$
$(4,\,6) \in R,\,(6,\,7) \in {R^{ - 1}} \Rightarrow \,(4,\,7) \in {R^{ - 1}}oR$
$(7,\,6) \in R,\,(6,\,4) \in {R^{ - 1}} \Rightarrow \,(7,\,4) \in {R^{ - 1}}oR,$
$(7,\,6) \in R,\,(6,\,7) \in {R^{ - 1}} \Rightarrow \,(7,\,7) \in {R^{ - 1}}oR$
$(3,\,7) \in R,\,(7,\,3) \in {R^{ - 1}} \Rightarrow \,(3,\,3) \in {R^{ - 1}}oR,$
Hence,${R^{ - 1}}oR = \{(1, 1); (4, 4); (4, 7); (7, 4), (7, 7); (3, 3)\}.$

Given the relation $R = \{(1, 2), (2, 3)\}$ on the set $A = {1, 2, 3}$, the minimum number of ordered pairs which when added to $R$ make it an equivalence relation is
Answerc
(c) $R$ is reflexive if it contains $(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3)$
$(1,\,2)\,\, \in R,\,(2,\,3) \in R$
$\therefore $ $R$ is symmetric if $(2, 1), (3, 2) \in R.$
Now, $R = \{ (1,\,1),\,(2,\,2),\,(3,\,3),\,(2,\,1),\,(3,\,2),\,(2,\,3),\,(1,\,2)\} $
$R$ will be transitive if $(3, 1); (1, 3)$ $\therefore$ $R$.
Thus, $R$ becomes an equivalence relation by adding $(1, 1) \,(2, 2)\, (3, 3)\, (2, 1)\, (3,2)\, (1, 3)\, (3, 1)$.
Hence, the total number of ordered pairs is $7$.

Answerc
(c) $f(x) = \cos \,(\log x)$
Now let $y = f(x)\,\,.\,\,f(4) - \frac{1}{2}\,\left[ {f\left( {\frac{x}{4}} \right) + f(4x)} \right]$
==> $y = \cos \,(\log x).\cos \,(\log 4) $
$- \frac{1}{2}\,\left[ {\cos \,\log \,\left( {\frac{x}{4}} \right) + \cos \,(\log 4x)} \right]$
==> $y = \cos \,(\log x)\,\cos \,(\log 4)$
$ - \frac{1}{2}\,\left[ {\cos \,(\log x - \log 4) + \cos \,(\log x + \log 4)} \right]$
==> $y = \cos \,(\log x)\,\cos \,(\log 4) - \frac{1}{2}\,\left[ {2\,\cos \,(\log x)\,\cos \,(\log 4)} \right]$
==> $y = 0$.

If $f(x) = \frac{{{x^2} - 1}}{{{x^2} + 1}}$, for every real numbers. then the minimum value of $f$
AnswerCorrect option: D. Is equal to $-1$
d
(d) Let $f(x) = \frac{{{x^2} - 1}}{{{x^2} + 1}} $
$= \frac{{{x^2} + 1 - 2}}{{{x^2} + 1}} = 1 - \frac{2}{{{x^2} + 1}}$
$\because {{x^2} + 1} > 1; \,\, \therefore \frac{2}{{{x^2} + 1}} \le 2$
$\therefore 1 - \frac{2}{{{x^2} + 1}} \ge 1 - 2$;
$\therefore - 1 \le f(x) < 1$
Thus $f(x)$ has the minimum value equal to $-1$.

b
(b) $f(x) = \frac{{{{\sin }^{ - 1}}(3 - x)}}{{\log \left[ {|x| - 2} \right]}}$
Let $g(x) = {\sin ^{ - 1}}(3 - x)$ ==> $ - 1 \le 3 - x \le 1$
Domain of $g(x)$ is $[2, 4]$
and let $h(x) = \log \left[ {|x| - 2} \right]$ ==> $|x| - 2 > 0$
==> $|x|\, > 2$ ==> $x < - 2$ or $x > 2$

- D
$f(x) = \sin x$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $f(x) = x\left( {\frac{{{a^x} - 1}}{{{a^x} + 1}}} \right)$
b
(b) In $(a)$, $f( - x) = \frac{{{a^{ - x}} + 1}}{{{a^{ - x}} - 1}} = \frac{{1 + {a^x}}}{{1 - {a^x}}} = - \frac{{{a^x} + 1}}{{{a^x} - 1}} = - f(x)$
So, it is an odd function.
In $(b)$, $f( - x) = ( - x)\frac{{{a^{ - x}} - 1}}{{{a^{ - x}} + 1}} = - x\frac{{1 - {a^x}}}{{1 + {a^x}}} = x\frac{{{a^x} - 1}}{{{a^x} + 1}} = f(x)$
So, it is an even function.
In $(c)$, $f( - x) = - \sin \left[ {\log (x + \sqrt {1 + {x^2}} )} \right]$
So, it is an odd function.
In $(d)$, $f( - x) = \sin ( - x) = - \sin x = - f(x)$

If ${e^x} = y + \sqrt {1 + {y^2}} $, then $y =$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $\frac{{{e^x} - {e^{ - x}}}}{2}$
b
(b) $\because \;{e^x} = y + \sqrt {1 + {y^2}} $
$\therefore$ ${e^x} - y = \sqrt {1 + {y^2}} $
Squaring both the sides, ${({e^x} - y)^2} = (1 + {y^2})$
${e^{2x}} + {y^2} - 2y{e^x} = 1 + {y^2} \Rightarrow {e^{2x}} - 1 = 2y{e^x}$
==> $2y = \frac{{{e^{2x}} - 1}}{{{e^x}}} \Rightarrow 2y = {e^x} - {e^{ - x}}$
Hence, $y = \frac{{{e^x} - {e^{ - x}}}}{2}$.

a
(a) $f(x) = 3x + 10$ and $g(x) = {x^2} - 1$
==> $f\,o\,g = f(g(x)) = 3(g(x)) + 10$
$= 3({x^2} - 1) + 10$=$3{x^2} + 7$.....(i)
Let $3{x^2} + 7 = y$ ==> $3{x^2} = y - 7$
==> ${x^2} = \frac{{y - 7}}{3} \Rightarrow x = {\left( {\frac{{y - 7}}{3}} \right)^{1/2}}$
We know that $f(x) = y$, then $x = {f^{ - 1}}(y)$
so ${(fog)^{ - 1}} = {\left( {\frac{{x - 7}}{3}} \right)^{1/2}}$.

$2^{89}-1$
- B

- C
$2^{45}-1$
- ✓

AnswerCorrect option: D. $2^{90}-2^{45}$
d
(d)
Since, $A \times A$ contains $100$ ordered pairs $(a, b)$ out of which $10$ ordered pairs are such that $a=b$.
For a reflexive relation $(a, a)$ must be present and others have a choice of to be present or not.
So, number of reflexive relations $=2^{90}$.
For a symmetric relation if $(a, b)$ is present then $(b, a)$ is also present
(where $a \neq b$ ). There are $45$ such pairs of ordered pairs.
So, number of reflexive relations which are also symmetric $=2^{45}$
$\therefore$ Required number of relations $=2^{90}-2^{45}$.

Answera
(a)
Given, $\ln f(x)=10 \ln \sin x+$ $\ln \left(1+\cos ^2 x+\cos ^4 x+\cos ^8 x\right)$
$\frac{f^{\prime}(x)}{f(x)}=10 \cot x-\sin 2 x$
${\left[\frac{1+2 \cos ^2 x+4 \cos ^6 x}{1+\cos ^2 x+\cos ^4 x+\cos ^8 x}\right] }$
$\left[\frac{1+2 \cos ^2 x+4 \cos ^6 x}{1+\cos ^2 x+\cos ^4 x+\cos ^8 x}\right]$
$\because f(x)$ is periodic with period $\pi$ and $\frac{f^{\prime}(x)}{f(x)}$ is continuous in $(0, \pi) .$
$\frac{f^{\prime}(x)}{f(x)}=\underbrace{10 \cot x}_{\begin{array}{c}\text { Range is }(-\infty, \infty) \\ \text { for } x \in(0, \pi)\end{array}}$
$\underbrace{-\sin 2 x\left[\frac{1+2 \cos ^2 x+4 \cos ^6 x}{1+\cos ^2 x+\cos ^4 x+\cos ^8 x}\right]}_{\text {finite number for } x \in(0, \pi)}$
So, $\frac{f^{\prime}(x)}{f(x)}$ has range $(-\infty, \infty)$ Hence, $\lambda \in R$.

$f$ is onto, but need not be one-one

Herc, $f(x)$ cannot be many one.
Since, If $f(x)$ is many one, then there exist $x_1$ and $x_2$ such that $f\left(x_1\right)=f\left(x_2\right)$ but $x_1 \neq x_2$. Then $0 \geq \left|x_1-x_2\right|$, which is a contradiction $\therefore f(x)$ is one-one.
Given, $|f(x)-f(y)| \geq |x-y|$
At anv point $x=a$
$\lim _{h \rightarrow 0}|f(a+h)-f(a)|_{\geq 1}|(a+h)-a|$
$\Rightarrow\left|f^{\prime}(a)\right| \geq 1 \Rightarrow f^{\prime}(a) \geq 1 \text { or } f^{\prime}(a) \leq-1$
But both can not hold simultancously
( $\because f(x)$ is one-one, proved above)
Also $|x-y|$ can assume very large value and $|f(x)|-f(y) \geq |x-y|$
$\therefore f(x)$ is onto.
Case $I$
$f^{\prime}(a) \geq 1$
Let $y=k=$ finite
$|(f(x)-f(y))| \geq |x-y|$
$-(f(x)-f(y)) \geq -(x-y)$
$f(y)-f(x) \geq y-x$
$f(k)-f(x) \geq k-x$
$f(x) \leq f(k)-k+x$
When, $x \rightarrow-\infty$
Then, $f(x) \leq f(x)-k-\infty$
$f(x) \rightarrow-\infty$
Case $II$
$f^{\prime}(a) \leq-1$
Let $y=k=$ finite and $x > k, f(x)$
$|f(x)-f(k)| \geq|x-k|$
$-(f(x)-f(k)) \geq x-k$
$f(x) \leq f(k)+k-x$
When, $x \rightarrow \infty$ then $f(x) \leq f(k)+k-\infty$
Then, $f(x) \rightarrow-\infty$

Given function $f: R \longrightarrow R$ be a continuous function such that $f\left(x^2\right)=f\left(x^3\right) \forall x \in R$
then $f(x)=f\left(x^{23}\right) \quad$ [on replacing $x$ by $x^{1 / 3}$ ]

$f(x)=f\left(x^{23}\right)=f\left(x^{4 / 9}\right)=f\left(x^{2 / 27}\right)=$
$\quad \ldots=f\left(x^{(23)^n}\right)$
$=f\left(x^0\right) \text { [as } x \text { tends to infinity] }=f(1)$
$\therefore f(x)=f(1)=\text { constant }$

Given function
$f(x)=\left[\begin{array}{cc} \frac{\sin \left(x^2\right)}{x} & , x \neq 0 \\ 0 & , \text { if } x=0\end{array}\right.$
then $\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x^2}{x}=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}$
$x \frac{\sin x^2}{x^2}=0=f(0)$
Hence, $f(x)$ is continuous at $x=0$
Now, for differentiability
$RHD ($ at $x=0)$
$=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{f(0+h)-f(0)}{h}=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin h^2}{h^2}=1$
and $LHD$ (at $x=0)$
$=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{f(0-h)-f(0)-\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \sin h^2}{-h}=1$
So, $f(x)$ is differentiable at $x=0$
$\therefore \quad f^{\prime}(x)=\left[\begin{array}{cc}2 \cos \left(x^2\right)-\frac{\sin x^2}{x^2} & , \text { if } x \neq 0 \\ 1 & , \text { if } x=0\end{array}\right]$ $\because \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} f^{\prime}(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left[2 \cos \left(x^2\right)-\frac{\sin x^2}{x^2}\right]$ $=2-1=1$ $\therefore \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} f^{\prime}(x)=f^{\prime}(0)$ So,f $f(x)$ is differentiable and the

(b)
Given,
$f(x)=x^6-2 x^5+x^3+x^2-x-1$
$=x^2\left(x^4-x^3-x^2-1\right)$
$-x\left(x^4-x^3-x^2-1\right)+2 x^2-2 x-1$
$\Rightarrow f(x)=\left(x^2-x\right) g(x)+2 x^2-2 x-1$
$\therefore f(a)=2 a^2-2 a-1$
$\therefore \Sigma f(a)=f(a)+f(b)+(c)+f(d)$
$=2 \Sigma a^2-2 \Sigma a-\Sigma 1$
$=2\left((\Sigma a)^2-2 \Sigma a b\right)-2 \Sigma a-4$
$\because a, b, c, d$ are roots of equation
$g(x)=x^4-x^3-x^2-1=0$
then $\Sigma a=1, \Sigma a b=-1$

It is given that for $n \in N$
$f_n=(n+1)^{1 / 3}-n^{1 / 3}\,(n+1)-n$
$(n+1)^{2/3}+(n+1)^{23} n^{2/3}+n^{2/3}$
$3 n^{2 / 3} < (n+1)^{2 / 3}+(n+1)^{2/3} n^{2/3}+n^{2/3} < 3(n+1)^{2 / 3}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{3(n+1)^{2/3}} < \frac{1}{(n+1)^{2 / 3}+(n+1)^{2 / 3} n^{2/3}+n^{2/3}} < \frac{1}{3 n^{2/3}}$
$\frac{1}{3(n+1)^{2/3}} < f_n < \frac{1}{3 n^{2/3}}$
Similarly,
$\frac{1}{3(n+2)^{23}} < f_{n+1} < \frac{1}{3(n+1)^{23}}$
$\therefore \quad f_{n+1} < \frac{1}{3(n+1)^{23}} < f_{n+1}, \forall n \in N$
