Let $R$ be a relation on the set of all natural numbers given by $\alpha b \Leftrightarrow \alpha$ divides $b^2$.
Which of the following properties does $R$ satisfy?
$I.$ Reflexivity $II.$ Symmetry $III.$ Transitivity
- ✓
$I$ only
- B
$III$ only
- C
$I$ and $III$ only
- D
$I$ and $II$ only
AnswerCorrect option: A. $I$ only
a
(a)
We have, $a R b: a$ divides $b^2$
For reflexive : $(a, a) \in R$
$\therefore \quad a R a: a$ divides $a^2$.
Hence, $R$ is reflexive.
For symmetric : $(a, b) \in R \Rightarrow(b, a) \in R$
$a$ divides $b^2$ and $b$ not divides $a^2$.
Hence, it is not symmetric.
For transitive : $(a, b) \in R,(b, c) \in R$
$\Rightarrow(a, c) \in R$
$\Rightarrow(8,4): 8$ divides $4^2$
$\Rightarrow(4,2): 4$ divides $2^2$
But $(8 / 2): 8$ not divides $2^2$
$\therefore$ It is not transitive.

Define a function $f(x)=\frac{16 x^2-96 x+153}{x-3}$ for all real $x \neq 3$. The least positive value of $f(x)$ is
Answerd
(d)
Given,
$f(x)=\frac{16 x^2-96 x+153}{x-3}$
Let $\quad f(x)=y$
$\therefore \quad y=\frac{16 x^2-96 x+153}{x-3}$
$\Rightarrow \quad x y-3 y=16 x^2-96 x+153$
$\Rightarrow 16 x^2-x(96+y)+153+3 y=0$
$\therefore \quad x \in R$
$\therefore \quad D \geq 0$
$\because(96+y)^2-4 \times 16(153+3 y) \geq 0$
$(96)^2+192 y+y^2-64(153)-192 y \geq 0$
$\quad y^2 \geq 64(153)-96^2$
$\quad y^2 \geq 9792-9216$
$\quad y^2 \geq 576$
$\therefore \quad y \in(-\infty,-24] \cup[24, \infty)$
$\therefore \text { Least positive value of } f(x)=24$

Let $R$ be the set of real numbers and $f: R \rightarrow R$ be defined by $f(x)=\frac{\{x\}}{1+[x]^2}$, where $[x]$ is the greatest integer less than or equal to $x$, and $\left\{x{\}}=x-[x]\right.$. Which of the following statements are true?
$I.$ The range of $f$ is a closed interval.
$II.$ $f$ is continuous on $R$.
$III.$ $f$ is one-one on $R$
AnswerCorrect option: D. None of $I$,$II$ and $III$
d
(d)
We have,
$f(x) =\frac{\{x\}}{1+[x]^2}$
$\Rightarrow \quad f(x) =\frac{x-[x]}{1+[x]^2}$
Range of $f(x)=[0,1)$.
$\therefore$ Range of $f$ is semi-closed interval $f$ is discontinuous on integer.
Clearly, $f$ is not one-one function.
$\therefore$ Option $(d)$ is correct.

Let $f$ be a function defined on the set of all positive integers such that $f(x y)=f(x)+f(y)$ for all positive integers $x, y$. If $f(12)=24$ and $f(8)=15$. The value of $f(48)$ is
Answerd
(d)
Given, $f(x y)=f(x)+f(y)$
$f(12)=24 \Rightarrow f(8)=15$
$f(8)=f(2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2)=f(2)+f(2)+f(2)$
$\Rightarrow \quad 15=3 f(2) \Rightarrow f(2)=5$
$\therefore f(48)=f(12 \cdot 2 \cdot 2)=f(12)+f(2)+f(2)$
$=24+5+5=34$

Let $P(x)$ be a polynomial with real coefficients such that $P\left(\sin ^2 x\right)=P\left(\cos ^2 x\right)$ for all $x \in[0, \pi / 2)$. Consider the following statements:
$I.$ $P(x)$ is an even function.
$II.$ $P(x)$ can be expressed as a polynomial in $(2 x-1)^2$
$III.$ $P(x)$ is a polynomial of even degree.
Then,
AnswerCorrect option: C. only $II$ and $III$ are true
c
(c)
We have,
$P\left(\sin ^2 x\right) =P\left(\cos ^2 x\right), x \in\left[0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$
$P\left(\sin ^2 x\right) =P\left(1-\sin ^2 x\right)$
$P(x) =P(1-x), x \in[0,1]$
$P^{\prime}(x) =-P^{\prime}(1-x)$
So, $P^{\prime}(x)$ is symmetric about line $x=\frac{1}{2}$
So, $P^{\prime}(x)$ has highest degree is odd. $\Rightarrow P(x)$ has highest degree is even.
Hence, option $(c)$ is correct.

The graph of the function $f(x)=x+\frac{1}{8} \sin (2 \pi x), 0 \leq x \leq 1$ is shown below. Define $f_1(x)=f(x), f_{n+1}(x)=f\left(f_n(x)\right)$, for $n \geq 1$.
Which of the following statements are true?
$I.$ There are infinitely many $x \in[0,1]$ for which $\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} f_n(x)=0$
$II.$ There are infinitely many $x \in[0,1]$ for which $\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} f_n(x)=\frac{1}{2}$
$III.$ There are infinitely many $x \in[0,1]$ for which $\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} f_n(x)=1$
$IV.$ There are infinitely many $x \in[0,1]$ for which $\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} f_n(x)$ does not exist.
- A
$I$ and $III$ only
- ✓
$II$ only
- C
$I,II,III$ only
- D
$I, II, III$ and $IV$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $II$ only
b
(b)
$f_1(x)=x+\frac{1}{8} \sin (2 \pi x)$
$f_2(x)=x+\frac{1}{8} \sin 2 \pi x+\frac{1}{8} \sin \left(2 \pi\left(x+\frac{1}{8} \sin 2 \pi x\right)\right)$
Similarly, $f _3( x )= x +\frac{1}{8}\left(\sin (2 \pi x)+\sin \left( f _1( x )\right)+\sin \left( f _2( x )\right)\right)$
$\therefore f_n(x)=x+\frac{1}{8}\left(\sin 2 \pi x+\sin \left(f_1(x)\right)+\ldots \cdots+\sin \left(f_{n-1}(x)\right)\right)$
$f_n(x)=0$ at $x=0$ and $f_n(x)=1$ at $x=1$
Therefore $I$ and $III$ are not true
from the figure, $f _{ n }( x )=\frac{1}{2}$ for many value of $x \in[0,1]$
statement $II$ is true
for every $x , \quad 0 \leq f _1( x ) \leq 1$
therefore, for every value of $x, \quad 0 \leq f_n(x) \leq 1$
$\lim _{n \rightarrow 0} f_n(x)$ always exists for $x \in[0,1]$
$IV$ is also not true.

Let $R$ be the set of all real numbers and let $f$ be a function from $R$ to $R$ such that $f(x)+\left(x+\frac{1}{2}\right) f(1-x)=1$, for all $x \in R$. Then $2 f(0)+3 f(1)$ is equal to
Answerc
(c)
Given,
$\Rightarrow f(x)+\left(x+\frac{1}{2}\right) f(1-x)=1$
$\text { Put } x=1-x \text {, we get }$
$f(1-x)+\left(1-x+\frac{1}{2}\right) f(1-(1-x)=1$
$\Rightarrow f(1-x)+\left(\frac{3}{2}-x\right) f(x)=1$
Eq.$(ii)$ multiply by $\left(x+\frac{1}{2}\right)$ we get
$\left(\frac{3}{2}-x\right)\left(x+\frac{1}{2}\right) f(x)+\left(x+\frac{1}{2}\right)$
$f(1-x)=x+\frac{1}{2}$
On subtracting Eq. $(iii)$ from Eq.$(i)$, we get
$f(x)\left[1-\left(\frac{3}{4}+x-x^2\right)\right]=1-x-\frac{1}{2}$
$\Rightarrow f(x)=\frac{\frac{1}{2}-x}{x^2-x+\frac{1}{4}} \Rightarrow f(0)=2 \text { and } f(1)=-2$
$\because 2 f(0)+3 f(1)-2(2)+3(-2)=4-6=-2$

- D
$\frac{1948}{\sqrt{2^{1947}}}$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $\frac{487}{\sqrt{2^{1945}}}$
a
(a)
We have,
$\sum \limits_{n=0}^{1947} \frac{1}{2^n+\sqrt{2^{1947}}}$
Let $\quad f(n)=\frac{1}{2^n+\sqrt{2^{1947}}}$
$f(0)+f(1947)=\frac{1}{1+2^{\frac{1947}{2}}}+\frac{1}{2^{1947}+2^{\frac{1947}{2}}}$
$=\frac{1}{1+2^{\frac{1947}{2}}}+\frac{1}{2^{\frac{1947}{2}}\left(2^{\frac{1947}{2}}+1\right)}$
$=\frac{2^{\frac{1947}{2}}+1}{2^{\frac{1947}{2}}\left(2^{\frac{1947}{2}+1}\right)}=\frac{1}{2^{\frac{1947}{2}}}$
Similarly, $f(1)+f(1946)=\frac{1}{2^{\frac{1947}{2}}}$
$\because \sum \limits_{n=0}^{1947} f(x)=f(0)+f(1)+f(2)+f(3)+\ldots .+f(1947)$
$=(f(0)+f(1947)+(f(1)+f(1946))+\ldots +(f(973)+f(974))$
$=974 \times \frac{1}{2^{\frac{1917}{2}}}$
$\sum \limits_{n=0}^{1947} f(n)=\frac{2 \times 487}{2 \times 2^{\frac{1945}{2}}}=\frac{487}{\sqrt{2^{1945}}}$

Let $f(x)$ be a non-constant polynomial with real coefficients such that $f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)=100$ and $f(x) \leq 100$ for all real $x$. Which of the following statements is NOT necessarily true?
- A
The coefficient of the highest degree term in $f(x)$ is negative.
- B
$f(x)$ has at least two real roots.
- ✓
If $x \neq 1 / 2$ then $f(x) < 100$.
- D
At least one of the coefficients of $f(x)$ is bigger than $50.$
AnswerCorrect option: C. If $x \neq 1 / 2$ then $f(x) < 100$.
c
(c)
We have, $f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)=100$
$f(x) \leq 100, \forall x \in R$
$\therefore \quad f(x)=a\left(x-\frac{1}{2}\right)$
$\left[a_0 x^{n-1}+a_1 x^{n-2}+\ldots+a_{n-1}\right]+100$
If $f(x) \leq 100, \forall x \in R$
$\therefore a < 0$ and $f(x)$ must be even degree polynomial.
Since, there may be more value of $x$ at which $f(x)$ attains maximum.
$\therefore$ If $x \neq \frac{1}{2}$, then $f(x) < 100$ may be false.

$II$. Domain of $f(g(x))+g(f(x))=$ Domain of $g(f(x))$
$III$. Domain of $f(g(x))=$ Domain of $g(f(x))$
$IV.$ Domain of $g\left((f(x))^3\right)=$ Domain of $f(g(x))$
- ✓
Only $I$
- B
Only $I$ and $II$
- C
Only $III$ and $IV$
- D
Only $I$ and $IV$
AnswerCorrect option: A. Only $I$
a
(a)
We have, $f(x)=\sqrt{2-x-x^2}$ and
$g(x) =\cos x$
$(g(x))^2 =\cos ^2 x$
$f\left((g(x))^2\right) =\sqrt{2-(g(x))^2-(g(x))^4}$
$=\sqrt{2-\cos ^2 x-\cos ^4 x}$
$f\left((g(x))^2\right)$ is defined if
$2-\cos ^2 x-\cos ^4 x \geq 0$
$\Rightarrow \quad \cos ^4 x+\cos ^2 x-2 \leq 0$
$\Rightarrow \cos ^4 x+2 \cos ^2 x-\cos ^2 x-2 \leq 0$
$\Rightarrow \quad\left(\cos ^2 x+2\right)\left(\cos ^2 x-1\right) \leq 0$
$\Rightarrow \quad \cos ^2 x \in[-2,1]$
$\therefore \quad f(g(x))=\sqrt{2-\cos x-\cos ^2 x}$
Similarly, for domain of $f(g(x))$ is $x \in R$
Hence, domain of $f\left(\left(g(x)^2\right)\right)=$ Domain of $f(g(x))$

- ✓
$\frac{3}{2}$
- C
$\frac{2}{3}$
- D
$-\frac{2}{5}$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $\frac{3}{2}$
b
(b)
We have, $f(x)=\sqrt{4-\sqrt{2 x+5}}$
$f(x)$ is defined if
$4-\sqrt{2 x+5} \geq 0$ and $2 x+5 \geq 0$
$\Rightarrow 4 \geq \sqrt{2 x+5}$ and $x \geq-5 / 2$
$\Rightarrow 16 \geq 2 x+5$ and $x \geq-5 / 2$
$\Rightarrow x \leq \frac{11}{2}$ and $x \geq-5 / 2$
$\therefore$ Domain of $f(x) x \in\left[\frac{-5}{2}, \frac{11}{2}\right]$
Mid-point of domain $\frac{\frac{-5}{2}+\frac{11}{2}}{2}=\frac{3}{2}$

Let $S=\{1,2,3, \ldots, 10\}$. Suppose $M$ is the set of all the subsets of $S$, then the relation $R=\{(A, B): A \cap B \neq \phi ; A, B \in M\}$ is :
- A
symmetric and reflexive only
- B
- C
symmetric and transitive only
- ✓
Answerd
Let $S=\{1,2,3, \ldots, 10\}$
$R=\{(A, B): A \cap B \neq \phi ; A, B \in M\}$
For Reflexive,
$M$ is subset of ' $S$ '
So $\phi \in \mathrm{M}$
for $\phi \cap \phi=\phi$
$\Rightarrow$ but relation is $\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B} \neq \phi$
So it is not reflexive.
For symmetric,
$\mathrm{ARB}$
$\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B} \neq \phi,$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{BRA} \quad \Rightarrow \mathrm{B} \cap \mathrm{A} \neq \phi$,
So it is symmetric.
For transitive,
If $\mathrm{A}=\{(1,2),(2,3)\}$
$ B=\{(2,3),(3,4)\} $
$C=\{(3,4),(5,6)\}$
$ARB$ $BRC$ but $A$ does not relate to $C$

Let $\mathrm{A}=\{1,2,3,4,5\}$. Let $\mathrm{R}$ be a relation on $\mathrm{A}$ defined by $x R y$ if and only if $4 x \leq 5 y$. Let $m$ be the number of elements in $\mathrm{R}$ and $\mathrm{n}$ be the minimum number of elements from $\mathrm{A} \times \mathrm{A}$ that are required to be added to $\mathrm{R}$ to make it a symmetric relation. Then $m+n$ is equal to:
Answerc
Given : $4 x \leq 5 y$
then
$\mathrm{R}=\{ $$ (1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4) $
$ (2,5),(3,3),(3,4),(3,5),(4,4),(4,5),(5,4),(5,5)\}$
i.e. $16$ elements.
i.e. $\mathrm{m}=16$
Now to make $\mathrm{R}$ a symmetric relation add
$\{(2,1)(3,2)(4,3)(3,1)(4,2)(5,3)(4,1)(5,2)(5,1)\}$
i.e. $\mathrm{n}=9$
So $\mathrm{m}+\mathrm{n}=25$

- A

- ✓

- D
AnswerCorrect option: C. reflexive and symmetric but not transitive.
c
$ \mathrm{A}=\{2,3,6,8,9,11\} \quad(\mathrm{a}, \mathrm{b}) \mathrm{R}(\mathrm{c}, \mathrm{d}) $
$ \mathrm{B}=\{1,4,5,10,15\} \quad 3 \mathrm{ad}-7 \mathrm{bc} $
$ \text { Reflexive : }(\mathrm{a}, \mathrm{b}) \mathrm{R}(\mathrm{a}, \mathrm{b})$
$\Rightarrow 3 \mathrm{ab}-7 \mathrm{ba}=-4 \mathrm{ab}$ always even so it is reflexive.
Symmetric : If $3 \mathrm{ad}-7 \mathrm{bc}=$ Even
Case $-I$ : odd odd
Case $-II$ : even even
$(\mathrm{c}, \mathrm{d}) \mathrm{R}(\mathrm{a}, \mathrm{b}) \Rightarrow 3 \mathrm{bc}-3 \mathrm{ab}$
Case $-I$ : odd odd
Case $-II$ : even even
so symmetric relation
Transitive :
Set $(3,4) R(6,4)$ Satisfy relation
Set $(6,4) R(3,1)$ Satisfy relation
but $(3,4) R(3,1)$ does not satisfy relation so not transitive.

$a R a \Rightarrow 5 a$ is multiple it 5
So reflexive
$a R b \Rightarrow 2 a +3 b =5 \alpha$,
Now b R a
$2 b+3 a=2 b+\left(\frac{5 \alpha-3 b}{2}\right) \cdot 3$
$=\frac{15}{2} \alpha-\frac{5}{2} b=\frac{5}{2}(3 \alpha-b)$
$=\frac{5}{2}(2 a+2 b-2 \alpha)$
$=5(a+b-\alpha)$
Hence symmetric
$\text { a R b } \quad \Rightarrow 2 a+3 b=5 \alpha \text {. }$
$\text { b R c } \quad \Rightarrow 2 b+3 c=5 \beta$
$\text { Now } \quad 2 a+5 b+3 c=5(\alpha+\beta)$
$\Rightarrow 2 a +5 b +3 c =5(\alpha+\beta)$
$\Rightarrow 2 a +3 c =5(\alpha+\beta- b )$
$\Rightarrow a R c$

$R=[(-4,4),(-3,3),(3,-2),(0,1),(0,0),(1,1)$, $(4,4),(3,3)\}$
For reflexive, add $\Rightarrow(-2,-2),(-4,-4),(-3,-3)$
For symmetric, add $\Rightarrow(4,-4),(3,-3),(-2,3),(1,0)$
