Answer any 8 from questions 8 to 17. Each question carries 4 score. (8 × 4 = 32)

Question 8.
(a) If U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}, A = {2, 4, 6, 8}, B = {2, 3, 5, 7}. Verify (A∪B)’ = A’∩B’

A’∩B’ = {1, 9}
(b) n(A – B) = 4

Question 10.
Solve the following inequalities graphically:
2x + y ≥ 4
x + y ≤ 3
2x – 3y ≤ 6
Answer:

Question 11.
Find the square roots of the complex number 3 + 4i
Answer:
Let x + iy = \(\sqrt{3+4 i}\)
Then (x + iy)² = 3 + 4i
⇒ x² – y² + 2 xyi = 3 + 4i
Equating real and imaginary parts, we have
x² – y² = 3 ………(1)
2xy = 4
We know the identity
(x² + y²)² = (x² – y²)² + (2xy)²
= 9 + 16 = 25
Thus, x² + y² = 5 ………(2)
From (1) and (2), x² = 4 and y² = 1 or x = ±2 and y = ±1
Since the product xy is positive, we have x = 2, y = 1 or, x = – 2, y = -1
Thus, the square roots of 3 + 4i are 2 + i and -2 -i.

Question 12.
(a) Insert five numbers between 8 and 26 such that the resulting sequence is an AP.
(b) Find the sum to n terms of the series 1 × 2 + 2 × 3 + 3 × 4 + ……….
Answer:
(a) a = 8, a₇ = 26
a + 6d = 26 ⇒ 8 + 6d = 26 ⇒ d = 3
Therefore AP is 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 23, 26
(b) Given; 1 × 2 + 2 × 3 + 3 × 4 + ….
t_n = n(n + 1)

Question 13.
(a) Find the equation of the perpendicular bisector of the line joining the points (0, 0) and (-3, 4).
(b) Find the coordinate of the points on the line y = 3x – 2 that is equidistant from (0, 0) and (-3, 4)
Answer:
(a) Perpendicular bisector passes through the mid point (\(\frac{-3}{2}\), 2)
Slope of the line joining (0, 0) and (-3, 4)
= \(\frac{4-0}{-3-0}=\frac{-4}{3}\)
Slope of perpendicular bisector = \(\frac{3}{4}\)
The equation of the perpendicular bisector is
y – 2 = \(\frac{3}{4}\)(x + \(\frac{3}{2}\))
⇒ y – 2 = \(\frac{3}{8}\)(2x + 3)
⇒ 8y – 16 = 6x + 9
⇒ 6x – 8; y + 25 = 0

(b) The point equidistant from (0, 0) and (-3, 4) is the meeting point of above line and the line y = 3x – 2
Solving 6x – 8y + 25 = 0 and y = 3x + 2
6x – 8(3x + 2) + 25 = 0
⇒ 6x – 24x – 16 + 25 = 0
⇒ 18x = -9 ⇒ x = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
y = 3 × \(\frac{1}{2}\) + 2 = \(\frac{7}{2}\)

Question 14.
(a) Reduce the equation x – y = 4 into normal form.
(b) Write the distance of this line from origin.
Answer:

Comparing with the normal form xcos ω + ysin ω = p, we have
cos ω = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\); sin ω = –\(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
Therefore ω should line in the fourth quadrant
ω = \(-\frac{\pi}{4}\)
Hence normal form is
x cos(\(-\frac{\pi}{4}\)) + y sin(\(-\frac{\pi}{4}\)) = 2\(\sqrt{2}\)
(b) Distance of the line from the origin is p = 2\(\sqrt{2}\)

Question 15.
(a) Find the derivative of f(x) = x sinx with respect to x.
(b) Find the derivative of the function y = \(\sqrt{x}\) with respect to x by using first principles.
Answer:
(a) f(x) = x sinx
f'(x) = x cos x + sin x(1) = x cos x + sin x

Question 16.
Consider the point A (3, 8, 10) and B (6, 10, -8)
(a) Find the ratio in which the line segment joining A and B is divided by the YZ coordinate plane.
(b) Find the coordinates of the point of division.
(c) Which coordinate plane divides the line segment AB internally? Justify your answer.
Answer:
(a) Let the ration be k : 1.
Point of division is
\(\left(\frac{6 k+3}{k+1}, \frac{10 k+8}{k+1}, \frac{-8 k+10}{k+1}\right)\)
Since the line joining A and B divides YZ plane, the point of intersection has x coordinate equal zero.
\(\frac{6 k+3}{k+1}\) = 0 ⇒ 6k + 3 = 0 ⇒ k = –\(\frac{1}{2}\)
Hence YZ plane divides externally in the ration 1 : 2.

(b) Substituting the value of k, we get the point.

(c) The point A (3, 8, 10) and B (6, 10, -8) have z coordinates opposite in sign. So the point A will lie above and point B will lie below XY plane. Hence XY plane divide the line segment joining A and B internally.

Question 17.
(a) Write the contrapositive of the statement: “If the integer n is odd, then n² is odd.”
(b) Prove by the method of contradiction: “\(\sqrt{7}\) is irrational.”
Answer:
(a) Contrapositive of the statement:
“If n² is not an odd integer, then n is not odd.”

(b)Assume that \(\sqrt{7}\) is rational. Then \(\sqrt{7}\) can be written in the form \(\sqrt{7}\) = \(\frac{p}{q}\), where p and q are integers without common factors.
Squaring; 7 = \(\frac{p^{2}}{q^{2}}\) ⇒ 7q² = p²
⇒ 7 divides p² ⇒ 7 divides p
Therefore, p = 7k for some integer k.
⇒ p² = 49k² ⇒ 7q² = 49k
⇒ q2 = 7k²
⇒ 7 divides q² ⇒ 7 divides q
Hence p and q have common factor 7, which contradicts our assumption.
Therefore, \(\sqrt{7}\) is irrational.

(c) 3 Girls and 2 boys
= ⁴C₃ × ⁷C₂ =4 × \(\frac{7 \times 6}{1 \times 2}\) = 84
4 Girls and 1 boys = ⁴C₄ × ⁷C₁ = 1 × 7 = 7
Number for groups with at least 3 girls is 84 + 7 = 91

(b) Write the equation of a circle with centre (0, k) and radius r.
(c) The circle in the figure passes through the points A, B and C on ellipse. Find the equation of a circle.
Answer:
(a) Given, a = 4; c = \(\sqrt{12}\)
c² = a² – b² ⇒ 12 = 16 – b²
⇒ b² = 16 – 12 = 4
Equation of the ellipse is \(\frac{x^{2}}{16}+\frac{y^{2}}{4}\) = 1

(b) Equation of the circle is x² + (y – k)² = r²
We know that the coordinate of C can be obtained by putting x = 0 in the equation of ellipse.
0 + \(\frac{y^{2}}{4}\) = 1 ⇒ y = 2, -2

(r – 2)² = r² – 4²
⇒ r² – 4r – 4 = r² – 4²
⇒ r = 5
Centre is (0, 3)
Equation of the circle is
x² + (y – 3)² = 5²

= 1 – 0.88 = 0.12

(c) (i) All the 3 cards are diamond = \(\frac{{ }^{13} C_{3}}{{ }^{52} C_{3}}\)
