9. The number of bijective functions from the set A to itself, if A contains 108 elements is n!. Find the value of n. 
Answer : 
Since number of one-one onto functions from a set A having n elements to itself is n!. 
∴ Required value of n is 108.

OR

If the set A contains 5 elements and the set B contains 6 elements, then find the number of one-one and onto mappings from A to B.
Answer : 
As A contains 5 elements.
∴ For any one-one onto mapping f : A → B, f (A) also contains 5 elements but B contains 6 elements.
∴ f (A) ≠ B.
So, no one-one mapping from A to B can be onto.

10. Find the order of the differential equation whose general solution is given by y = (A + B) cos (x + C) + Dex.
Answer : 
Given y = (A + B) cos (x + C) + Dex
or y = k cos (x + C) + Dex
Now order of a differential equation is same as the number of arbitrary unknowns present in the solution.
Hence order of differential equation is 3.

11. Construct a 2 × 3 matrix whose elements aij are given by aij = 2i – 3j.
Answer : 
Here aij = 2i – 3j, i = 1, 2 and j = 1, 2, 3
∴ a11 = 2⋅1 – 3⋅1 = –1, a12 = 2⋅1 – 3⋅2 = – 4,
a13 = 2⋅1 – 3⋅3 = – 7, a21 = 2⋅2 – 3⋅1 = 1,
a22 = 2⋅2 – 3⋅2 = – 2, a23 = 2⋅2 – 3⋅3 = – 5
Hence, the required matrix is

15. Let R be a relation on the set N be defined by {(x, y) : x, y ∈N, 2x + y = 41}. Show that R is neither reflexive nor symmetric.
Answer : 
R = {(x, y) : x, y ∈N, 2x + y = 41}
Reflexive : (1, 1) ∉ R as 2 ⋅ 1 + 1 = 3 ≠ 41. So, R is not reflexive.
Symmetric : (1, 39) ∈R but (39, 1) ∉ R. So R is not symmetric.

Produced parts get passed through an automatic inspection machine, which is able to detect any part that is obviously defective and discard it. What is the probability of the parts that make it through the inspection machine and get shipped?
Answer : 
Let G, SD, OD be the events that a randomly chosen part is good, slightly defective, obviously defective respectively.

If A and B are two independent events such that P (A∩B) = 2/15 and P (A∩B) = 1/6 , then find P (B) – P(A).
Answer : 
Since A and B are independent events, therefore, Ac and B are independent and also A and Bc are independent.
∴ P (A ∩ B) = P(Ac ∩ B) = P (Ac) P(B) = (1 – P(A)) P(B)
and P(A ∩ B ) = P(A ∩ Bc) = P(A) P (Bc)

Answer : 

25. Find the points on the line x+2/3 = y+1/2 = z-3/2 at a distance of 5 units from the point P(1, 3, 3).
Answer : 
Any point on the line x+2/3 = y+1/2 = z-3/2 =λ(say) is
of the form Q(3λ – 2, 2λ – 1, 2λ + 3) …(i)
Now, distance PQ, where P is (1, 3, 3), is 5.
So, (3λ – 2 – 1)2 + (2λ – 1– 3)2 + (2λ + 3 – 3)2 = 52
⇒ 9λ2 + 9 – 18λ + 4λ2 + 16 – 16λ + 4λ2 = 25
⇒ 17λ2 – 34λ = 0 ⇒ 17λ(λ – 2) = 0
⇒ λ = 0 or λ = 2
Putting values of λ in (i), the required points are
(– 2, – 1, 3) and (4, 3, 7).

Show, that the function f (x) = x9 + 4x7 + 11 is increasing on R.
Answer : 
Here, f(x) = x9 + 4x7 + 11

Find the interval on which the function

 is increasing
Answer : 

⇒ 6x3 – 12x2 – 30x + 36 > 0
⇒ 6(x3 – 2x2 – 5x + 6) > 0
⇒ 6(x – 1)(x – 3)(x + 2) > 0
The possible intervals are (–∞, –2), (–2, 1), (1, 3) and (3, ∞)
For f(x) to be increasing, f ′(x) > 0.
⇒ (x – 1) (x – 3) (x + 2) > 0
⇒ x ∈ (–2, 1) ∪ (3, ∞)

33. Show that the relation R in the set A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} given by R = {(a, b) : |a – b| is divisible by 2} is an equivalence relation.
Answer : 
We have, A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} and R = {(a, b) : |a – b| is divisible by 2}
(i) Reflexive : For any a ∈ A
|a – a| = 0, which is divisible by 2.
Thus, (a, a) ∈ R. So, R is reflexive.

(ii) Symmetric : For any a, b ∈ A
Let (a, b) ∈ R
⇒ |a – b| is divisible by 2
⇒ |b – a| is divisible by 2
⇒ (b, a) ∈ R
∴ (a, b) ∈ R ⇒ (b, a) ∈ R
∴ R is symmetric.

(iii) Transitive : For any a, b, c ∈ A
Let (a, b) ∈ R and (b, c) ∈ R
⇒ |a – b| is divisible by 2 and |b – c| is divisible by 2.
⇒ a – b = ±2 k1 and b – c = ± 2k2; k1, k2 ∈ N
⇒ a – b + b – c = ±2(k1 + k2)
⇒ a – c = ±2 k3, k3 ∈ N
⇒ |a – c| is divisible by 2
⇒ (a, c) ∈ R
∴ R is transitive.
Hence, R is an equivalence relation.

36. An amount of ` 5000, is put into three investments at the rate of interest of 6%, 7% and 8% per annum respectively. The total annual income is ` 358. If the combined income from the first two investments is ` 70 more than the income from the third, find the amount of each investment by matrix method.
Answer : 
Let x, y and z be the investments at the rate of interest of 6%, 7% and 8% per annum respectively.
Then, x + y + z = 5000.
Income from investment of ₹ x, ₹ y and ₹ z is ₹6/100 ,7/100 and ₹8/100 respectively.

⇒ 6x + 7y – 8z = 7000
So, we obtain the following system of linear equations :
x + y + z = 5000
6x + 7y + 8z = 35800
6x + 7y – 8z = 7000
The system of equations can be written in matrix form as:

So, A–1 exist and the solution of the given system of equations is given by X = A–1 B.

x =1000, y = 2200, z = 1800
Hence, three investments are of ₹ 1000, ₹ 2200 and ₹ 1800 respectively.

OR

37. Find the image of the point (1, – 2, 1) in the line x-2/3 = y+1/-1 =z+3/2
Answer : 
Let P(1, –2, 1) be the given point and let Q be the foot of the perpendicular drawn from P on of the given line

x-2/3 = y+1/-1 = z+3/2 = λ(say)
⇒ x = 3λ + 2, y = – λ – 1, z = 2λ – 3
λet the coordinates of Q be
(3λ + 2, – λ – 1, 2λ – 3) …(i)
So, direction ratios of PQ be
(3λ + 2 – 1, – λ – 1+ 2, 2λ – 3 – 1)
i.e., (3λ + 1, – λ + 1, 2λ – 4)
Since PQ is perpendicuλar to given λine.
∴ 3(3λ + 1) – 1(– λ + 1) + 2(2λ – 4) = 0
⇒ 9λ + 3 + λ – 1 + 4λ – 8 = 0 ⇒ λ = 3/7
Putting λ= 3/7 in (i), we get the coordinates of Q as

38. Find the maximum value of Z = 4x + 6y subject to constraints 3x + 2y ≤ 12, x + y ≥ 4, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0.
Answer : 
Converting inequations into equations and drawing the corresponding lines.

As x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0 solution lies in first quadrant.
We have points A(4, 0), B(0, 6) and C(0, 4).

Now, Z = 4x + 6y
Z(A) = 4(4) + 6(0) = 16
Z(B) = 4(0) + 6(6) = 36
Z(C) = 4(0) + 6(4) = 24
∴Z has maximum value 36 at B(0, 6).

OR

Find the number of points at which he objective function Z = 4x + 3y can be maximized subject to the constraints 3x + 4y ≤ 24, 8x + 6y ≤ 48, x ≤ 5, y ≤ 6, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0.
Answer : 
Converting inequations into equations and draw the corresponding lines
3x + 4y = 24, 8x + 6y = 48, x = 5, y = 6

B is the point of intersection of the lines
8x + 6y = 48 and x = 5 i.e., B = (5,4/3)
C is the point of intersection of the lines 3x + 4y = 24
and 8x + 6y = 48 i.e. C =(24/7 , 24/7)
We have points O(0, 0) A(5, 0), B (5 , 4/3) , C(24/7 , 24/7) and D(0, 6).
Now, Z = 4x + 3y
\ Z(O) = 4(0) + 3(0) = 0
Z(A) = 4(5) + 3(0) = 20

Z has maximum value at points B and C. Since both the points lie on the same line 8x + 6y = 48.
∴ Each point of the line 8x + 6y = 48 will give maximum value of Z. Therefore, objective function can be maximized at infinite number of points.
