MCQ 1031 Mark
The relation $R =\{( a , b ): \operatorname{gcd}( a , b )=1,2 a \neq b , a , b \in Z \}$ is:
  • A
    transitive but not reflexive
  • B
    symmetric but not transitive
  • C
    reflexive but not symmetric
  • neither symmetric nor transitive
Answer
Correct option: D.
neither symmetric nor transitive
d
Reflexive : $(a, a) \Rightarrow \operatorname{gcd}$ of $(a, a)=1$

Which is not true for every a $\in Z$.

Symmetric:

Take $a =2, b =1 \Rightarrow \operatorname{gcd}(2,1)=1$

Also $2 a=4 \neq b$

Now when $a =1, b =2 \Rightarrow \operatorname{gcd}(1,2)=1$

Also now $2 a =2= b$

Hence $a=2 b$

$\Rightarrow R$ is not Symmetric

Transitive:

Let $a =14, b =19, c =21$

$\operatorname{gcd}( a , b )=1$

$\operatorname{gcd}(b, c)=1$

$\operatorname{gcd}( a , c )=7$

Hence not transitive

$\Rightarrow R$ is neither symmetric nor transitive.

The minimum number of elements that must be added to the relation $R =\{( a , b ),( b , c )\}$ on the set $\{a, b, c\}$ so that it becomes symmetric and transitive is:
  • A
    $4$
  • $7$
  • C
    $5$
  • D
    $3$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$7$
b
For Symmetric $(a, b),(b, c) \in R$

$\Rightarrow(b, a),(c, b) \in R$

For Transitive $(a, b),(b, c) \in R$

$\Rightarrow(a, c) \in R$

Now

$1.$ Symmetric

$\therefore(a, c) \in R \Rightarrow(c, a) \in R$

$2.$ Transitive

$\therefore(a, b),(b, a) \in R$

$\Rightarrow(a, a) \in R \&(b, c),(c, b) \in R$

$\Rightarrow(b, b) \&(c, c) \in R$

$\therefore$ Elements to be added

$\left\{\begin{array}{r}(b, a),(c, b),(a, c),(c, a) \\,(a, a),(b, b),(c, c)\end{array}\right\}$

Number of elements to be added $=7$

MCQ 1061 Mark
Among the relations $S =\left\{( a , b ): a , b \in R -\{0\}, 2+\frac{ a }{ b } > 0\right\}$ And $T =\left\{( a , b ): a , b \in R , a ^2- b ^2 \in Z \right\}$,
  • A
    $S$ is transitive but $T$ is not
  • $T$ is symmetric but $S$ is not
  • C
    Neither $S$ nor $T$ is transitive
  • D
    Both $S$ and $T$ are symmetric
Answer
Correct option: B.
$T$ is symmetric but $S$ is not
b
For relation $T=a^2-b^2=-I$

Then,$(b, a)$ on relation $R$

$\Rightarrow b ^2- a ^2=- I$

$\therefore T \text { is symmetric }$

$S =\left\{( a , b ): a , b \in R -\{0\}, 2+\frac{ a }{ b } > 0\right\}$

$2+\frac{ a }{ b } > 0 \Rightarrow \frac{ a }{ b } > -2, \Rightarrow \frac{ b }{ a } < \frac{-1}{2}$

If $(b, a) \in S$ then

$2+\frac{b}{a}$ not necessarily positive

$\therefore S$ is not symmetric

MCQ 1071 Mark
Let $R$ be a relation on $R$, given by $R=\{(a, b): 3 a-3 b+\sqrt{7}$ is an irrational number $\}$. Then $R$ is
  • Reflexive but neither symmetric nor transitive
  • B
    Reflexive and transitive but not symmetric
  • C
    Reflexive and symmetric but not transitive
  • D
    An equivalence relation
Answer
Correct option: A.
Reflexive but neither symmetric nor transitive
a
Check for reflexivity:

As $3(a-a)+\sqrt{7}=\sqrt{7}$ which belongs to relation so relation is reflexive

Check for symmetric:

Take $a=\frac{\sqrt{7}}{3}, b=0$

Now $(a, b) \in R$ but $(b, a) \notin R$

As $3(b-a)+\sqrt{7}=0$ which is rational so relation is not symmetric.

Check for Transitivity:

Take $(a, b)$ as $\left(\frac{\sqrt{7}}{3}, 1\right)$

$\&(b, c)$ as $\left(1, \frac{2 \sqrt{7}}{3}\right)$

So now $( a , b ) \in R \&( b , c ) \in R$ but $( a , c ) \notin R$ which means relation is not transitive

$AR , B \Rightarrow( A \cap \overrightarrow{ B }) \cup(\overrightarrow{ A } \cap B )=\phi$

$R 1$ is reflexive, symmetric

For transitive

$( A \cap \overrightarrow{ B }) \cup(\overrightarrow{ A } \cap B )=\phi ;\{ a \}=\phi=\{ b \} A = B$

$( B \cap \overrightarrow{ C }) \cup(\overrightarrow{ B } \cap C )=\phi \therefore B = C \therefore A = C \text { equivalence. }$

$R _2 \equiv A \cup \overrightarrow{ B }=\overrightarrow{ A } \cup B$

$R _2 \rightarrow \text { Reflexive, symmetric }$

for transitive

$\begin{array}{l} A \cup \overrightarrow{ B }=\overrightarrow{ A } \cup B \Rightarrow\{ a , c , d \}=\{ b , c , d \} \\ \{ a \}=\{ b \} \therefore A = B \\ B \cup \overrightarrow{ C }=\overrightarrow{ B } \cup C \Rightarrow B = C \\ \therefore A = C \quad \therefore A \cup \overrightarrow{ C }=\overrightarrow{ A } \cup C \therefore \text { Equivalence }\end{array}$

Given for $x \geq 2$

$f(1)+2 f(2)+\ldots \ldots+x f(x)=x(x+1) f(x)$

$\text { replace } x \text { by } x +1$

$\Rightarrow \quad x(x+1) f(x)+(x+1) f(x+1)$

$=(x+1)(x+2) f(x+1)$

$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{x}{f(x+1)}+\frac{1}{f(x)}=\frac{(x+2)}{f(x)}$

$\Rightarrow \quad x f(x)=(x+1) f(x+1)=\frac{1}{2}, x \geq 2$

Answer
Correct option: C.
$6825$
c
$5 f ( x + y )= f ( x ) \cdot f ( y )$

$5 f (0)= f (0)^2 \Rightarrow f (0)=5$

$5 f ( x +1)= f ( x ) \cdot f (1)$

$\frac{ f ( x +1)}{ f ( x )}=\frac{ f (1)}{5}$

$\frac{ f (1)}{ f (0)} \cdot \frac{ f (2)}{ f (1)} \cdot \frac{ f (3)}{ f (2)}=\left(\frac{ f (1)}{5}\right)^3$

$\frac{320}{5}=\frac{( f (1))^3}{5^3} \Rightarrow f (1)=20$

$5 f ( x +1)=20 \cdot f ( x ) \Rightarrow f ( x +1)=4 f ( x )$

$\sum \limits_{ n =0}^5 f ( n )=5+5.4+5.4^2+5.4^3+5.4^4+5.4^5$

Let $f : R -\{0,1\} \rightarrow R$ be a function such that $f(x)+f\left(\frac{1}{1-x}\right)=1+x$. Then $f(2)$ is equal to :
  • A
    $\frac{9}{2}$
  • $\frac{9}{4}$
  • C
    $\frac{7}{4}$
  • D
    $\frac{7}{3}$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\frac{9}{4}$
b
$f ( x )+ f \left(\frac{1}{1- x }\right)=1+ x$

$x =2 \Rightarrow f (2)+ f (-1)=3$

$x =-1 \Rightarrow f (-1)+ f \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)=0$

$x =\frac{1}{2} \Rightarrow f \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)+ f (2)=\frac{3}{2}$

$(1)+(3)-(2) \Rightarrow 2 f (2)=\frac{9}{2}$

Let the sets $A$ and $B$ denote the domain and range respectively of the function $f(x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\lceil x\rceil-x}}$ where $\lceil x \rceil$ denotes the smallest integer greater than or equal to $x$. Then among the statements

$( S 1): A \cap B =(1, \infty)-N$ and

$( S 2): A \cup B=(1, \infty)$

  • only $(S1)$ is true
  • B
    both $(S1)$ and $(S2)$ are true
  • C
    neither $(S1)$ nor $(S2)$ is true
  • D
    only $(S2)$ is true
Answer
Correct option: A.
only $(S1)$ is true
a
$f(x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\lceil x\rceil-x}}$

If $x \in I \lceil x \rceil=[ x ]$ (greatest integer function)

If $x \notin I \lceil x \rceil=[ x ]+1$

$\Rightarrow f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{l}\frac{1}{\sqrt{[x]-x}}, x \in I \frac{1}{\sqrt{[x]+1-x}}, x \notin I\end{array}\right.$

$\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{l}\frac{1}{\sqrt{-\{x\}}}, x \in I, \text { (does not exist) } \\ \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\{x\}}}, x \notin I\end{array}\right. \\ & \Rightarrow \text { domain of } f(x)=R-I\end{aligned}$

$\text { Now, } f(x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\{x\}}}, x \notin I$

$\Rightarrow 0 < \{x\} < 1$

$\Rightarrow 0 < \sqrt{1-\{x\}} < 1$

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\{x\}}} > 1$

$\Rightarrow \text { Range }(1, \infty)$

$\Rightarrow A=R-I$

$B=(1, \infty)$

$\text { So, } A \cap B=(1, \infty)-N$

$A \cup B \neq(1, \infty)$

  • A
    $\alpha=14$
  • B
    $\alpha$ is a multiple of $4$
  • C
    $4$ is the remainder when $\alpha$ is divided by $10$
  • $4$ is the remainder when $\alpha$ is divided by $7$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$4$ is the remainder when $\alpha$ is divided by $7$
d
For $R$ to be reflexive $\Rightarrow xRx$

$\Rightarrow 3 x +\alpha x =7 x \Rightarrow(3+\alpha) x =7 K$

$\Rightarrow 3+\alpha=7 \lambda \Rightarrow \alpha=7 \lambda-3=7 N +4, K , \lambda, N \in I$

$\therefore$ when $\alpha$ divided by $7$, remainder is $4$.

$R$ to be symmetric $x R y \Rightarrow y R x$

$3 x +\alpha y =7 N _{1}, 3 y +\alpha x =7 N _{2}$

$\Rightarrow(3+\alpha)( x + y )=7\left( N _{1}+ N _{2}\right)=7 N _{3}$

Which holds when $3+\alpha$ is multiple of $7$

$\therefore \alpha=7 N +4 \text { (as did earlier) }$

$R$ to be transitive

$xRy \& yRz \Rightarrow xRz$.

$3 x +\alpha y =7 N _{1} \& 3 y +\alpha z =7 N _{2}$

$3 x +\alpha z =7 N _{3}$

$\therefore 3 x +7 N _{2}-3 y =7 N _{3}$

$\therefore 7 N _{1}-\alpha y +7 N _{2}-3 y =7 N _{3}$

$\therefore 7\left( N _{1}+ N _{2}\right)-(3+\alpha) y =7 N _{3}$

$\therefore(3+\alpha) y =7\,N$

Which is true again when $3+\alpha$ divisible by $7$ when $\alpha$ divided by $7$, remainder is $4$ .

  • B
    $28$
  • C
    $38$
  • D
    $48$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$18$
a
$f \left( g ( x )=8 x ^{2}-2 x \right.$

$g\left(f(x)=4 x^{2}+6 x+1\right.$

So, $g ( x )=2 x -1$       $g(2)=3$

$f ( x )=2 x ^{2}+3 x +1$

$f(2)=8+6+1=15$

Ans. $18$

  • C
    $9$
  • $8$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$8$
d
Here, $p , p ^{ n } \in\{1,2, \ldots 50\}$

Now p can take values

$2,3,5,7,11,13,17,23,29,31,37,41,43$ and $47 .$

we can calculate no. of elements in $R$, as

$\left(2,2^{\circ}\right),\left(2,2^{1}\right) \ldots\left(2,2^{5}\right)$

$\left(3,3^{\circ}\right), \ldots\left(3,3^{3}\right)$

$\left(5,5^{\circ}\right), \ldots\left(5,5^{2}\right)$

$\left(7,7^{\circ}\right), \ldots\left(7,7^{2}\right)$

$\left(11,11^{\circ}\right), \ldots\left(11,11^{1}\right)$

And rest for all other two elements each

$n \left( R _{1}\right)=6+4+3+3+(2 \times 10)=36$

Similarly for $R _{2}$

$\left(2,2^{\circ}\right),\left(2,2^{1}\right)$

$\left(47,47^{\circ}\right),\left(47,47^{1}\right)$

$n \left( R _{2}\right)=2 \times 14=28$

$n \left( R _{1}\right)- n \left( R _{2}\right)=36-28=8$

Let $f : N \rightarrow R$ be a function such that $f(x+y)=2 f(x) f(y)$ for natural numbers $x$ and $y$. If $f(1)=2$, then the value of $\alpha$ for which

$\sum \limits_{k=1}^{10} f(\alpha+k)=\frac{512}{3}\left(2^{20}-1\right)$ holds, is

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $3$
  • $4$
  • D
    $6$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$4$
c
$f : N \rightarrow R , f ( x + y )=2 f ( x ) f ( y )$

$f (1)=2$,

$\sum_{ k =1}^{10} f (\alpha+ k )=2 f (\alpha) \sum_{ k =1}^{10} f ( k )$

$=2 f (\alpha)( f (1)+ f (2)+\ldots .+ f (10))$

From $(1)$

$f (2)=2 f ^{2}(1)=2^{3}$

$\left.f (3)=2 f (2) f (1)=2^{5}\right)$

$\vdots$

$f (10)=2^{9} f ^{10}(1)=2^{19}$

$f (\alpha)=2^{2 \alpha-1} ; \alpha \in N$

from $(2)$

$\sum_{ k =1}^{10} f (\alpha+ k )=2\left(2^{2 \alpha-1}\right)\left(2+2^{3}+2^{5}+\ldots .+2^{19}\right)$

$\frac{512}{3}\left(2^{20}-1\right)=2^{2 \alpha}\left(2 \frac{\left(2^{20}-1\right)}{3}\right)$

Hence $\alpha=4$

Let $f(x)=\frac{x-1}{x+1}, x \in R-\{0,-1,1)$. If $f^{a+1}(x)=f\left(f^{n}(x)\right)$ for all $n \in N$, then $f^{\prime}(6)+f(7)$ is equal to
  • A
    $\frac{7}{6}$
  • $-\frac{3}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{7}{12}$
  • D
    $-\frac{11}{12}$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$-\frac{3}{2}$
b
$f(x)=\frac{x-1}{x+1}$

$\Rightarrow f^{2}(x)=f(f(x))=\frac{\frac{x-1}{x+1}-1}{\frac{x-1}{x+1}+1}=-\frac{1}{x}$

$f^{3}(x)=f\left(f^{2}(x)\right)=f\left(-\frac{1}{x}\right)=\frac{x+1}{1-x}$

$\Rightarrow f^{4}(x)=f\left(\frac{x+1}{1-x}\right)=-\frac{1}{x}$

$\Rightarrow f^{6}(x)=-\frac{1}{x} \Rightarrow f^{6}(6)=-\frac{1}{8}$

$f^{7}(x)=\left(-\frac{1}{x}\right)=\frac{x+1}{1-x}$

$\Rightarrow f^{7}(7)=\frac{8}{-6}=-\frac{4}{3}$

$\therefore-\frac{1}{6}+-\frac{4}{3}=-\frac{3}{2}$

$f(x)+f(1-x)=\frac{2 e^{2 x}}{e^{2 x}+e}+\frac{2 e^{2-2 x}}{e^{2-e x}+e}=\left[\frac{e^{2 x}}{e^{2 x}+e}+\frac{e^{2}}{e^{2}+e^{2 x+1}}\right]$

$=2\left[\frac{e^{2 x-1}}{e^{2 x-1}+1}+\frac{1}{1+e^{2 x-1}}\right]=2$

$f\left(\frac{1}{100}\right)+f\left(\frac{2}{100}\right)+f\left(\frac{3}{100}\right)+\ldots .+f\left(\frac{99}{100}\right)$

$=\left\{f\left(\frac{1}{100}\right)+f\left(\frac{99}{100}\right)\right\}+\left\{f\left(\frac{2}{100}\right)+f\left(\frac{98}{100}\right)\right\}+\ldots .+f\left\{\left(\frac{49}{100}\right)+f\left(\frac{51}{100}\right)\right\}+f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)$

$=(2+2+2+----49$ times $)+\frac{2 e}{e+e}$
