Question 11.
If f : R → R defined by f(x) = 1 + x2, then show that f is neither 1-1 nor onto.
Solution:
f(1) = 1 + 12 = 2
f(-1) = 1 + (-1)2 = 2
∴ f(1) = f(-1) But 1 ≠ -1
∴ f is not one-one
Let y ∈ R ∃ x ∈ R such that
f(x) = y
⇒ 1 + x2 = y
⇒ x2 = y – 1
⇒ x = \(\sqrt{y-1}\)
if y = 0 then x = \(\sqrt{-1} \notin \mathrm{R}\)
∴ 0 has no pre-image
∴ f is not onto.

Solution:
2nd PUC Maths Previous Year Question Paper March 2017 Q15

Question 16.
Verify Rolle’s theorem for the function f(x) = x2 + 2x – 8, x ∈ [-4, 2]
Solution:
f(x) is a polynomial in x. Flence it is continuous over {-4, 2} and differentiable over (-4, 2).
f(-4) = (-4)2 + 2(-4) – 8 = 16 – 8 – 8 = 0
f(2) = 4 + 4 – 8 = 0
∴ f(-4) = f(2)
∴ All the conditions of the Rolle’s theorem are satisfied.
∴ there exists a c ∈ [-4, 2] such that
f'(c) = 0
f'(x) = 2x + 2
f'(c) = 2c + 2
f'(c) = 0
⇒ 2c + 2 = 0
⇒2c = -2
⇒ c = -1 ∈ [-4, 2]
∴ Rolle’s theorem is verified.

Question 24.
Find the probability distribution of the number of heads in two tosses of a coin.
Solution:
When one coin is tossed twice, the sample space is
S = {HH, HT, TH, TT}.
Let X denotes, the number of heads in any outcome in S,
X(HH) = 2, X(HT) = 1, X(TH) = 1 and X(TT) = 0
Therefore, X can take the value of 0, 1 or 2. It is known that
P(HH) = P(HT) = P(TH) = P(TT) = \(\frac{1}{4}\)
P(X = 0) = P (tail occurs on both tosses) = P({TT}) = \(\frac{1}{4}\)
P(X = 1) = P(one head and one tail occurs) = P({TH, HT}) = \(\frac{2}{4}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
and P(X = 2) = P (head occurs on both tosses) = P({HH}) = \(\frac{1}{4}\)
Thus, the required probability distribution is as follows.

Question 25.
Show that the relation R in R (set of real numbers) is defined as R = {(a, b) : a ≤ b} is reflexive and transitive but not symmetric.
Solution:
a ≤ a is always true
∴ (a, a) R a R
∴ R is reflexive
Let (a, b) ∈ R ⇒ a ≤ b which does not imply b ≤ a
∴ (b, a) ∉ R
∴ R is not symmetric
Let (a, b) ∈ R and (b, c) ∈ R
⇒ a ≤ b and b ≤ c
⇒ a ≤ c
⇒ (a, c) ∈ R
∴ R is transitive

Let AB is symmetric
∴ (AB)’ = AB, B’A’ = AB, BA = AB
Conversely, Let AB = BA
(AB)’ = B’A’ = BA = AB
∴ AB is symmetric

Solution:
2nd PUC Maths Previous Year Question Paper March 2017 Q29

Question 30.
Find two positive numbers x and y such that x + y = 60 and xy3 is maximum.
Solution:
Let the two numbers be x, y and P = xy3
Given x + y = 60 ⇒ x = 60 – y
On putting this value in P = xy3, we get
P = (60 – y) y3 ⇒ P = 60y3 – y4
On differentiating twice w.r.t. y, we get
\(\frac{d P}{d y}\) = 180y2 – 4y3
and \(\frac{d^{2} P}{d y^{2}}\) = 360y – 12y2
For maxima, we must have \(\frac{d P}{d y}\) = 0
⇒ 180y2 – 4y3 = 0
⇒ 4y2(45 – y) = 0
⇒ y = 0, 45
But y ≠ 0, so y = 45
At y = 45, \(\left(\frac{d^{2} P}{d y^{2}}\right)_{y=45}\) = 360 × 45 – 12 × (45)2
=16200 – 24300
= -8100 < 0
⇒ P has afocal maxima at y = 45
∴ By second derivative test, x = 45 is a point of local maxima of P. Thus, the function xy3 is maximum when y = 45 and x = 60 – 45 = 15.
Hence, the required numbers are 15 and 45.

Question 34.
Form the differential equation of the family of circles having a centre on y-axis and radius 3 units.
Solution:
The equation of the family circles having centre on y-axis and radius 3 unit is
x2 + (y – b)2 = 9 …….(i)
On differentiating Eq. (i) w.r.t x, we get
2x + 2(y – b) y’ = 0
⇒ y – b = \(-\frac{x}{y^{\prime}}\) ……. (ii)
On substituting this value of (y – b) in Eq. (i) we get
\(x^{2}+\left(-\frac{x}{y^{\prime}}\right)^{2}=9\)
⇒ x2[(y’)2 + 1] = 9(y’)2
⇒ (x2 – 9)(y’)2 + x2 = 0
which is the required differential equation.

Question 43.
The length x of a rectangle is decreasing at the rate of 5 cm/minute and the width y is increasing at the rate of 4 cm/minute when x = 8 cm and y = 6 cm, find the rate of change of
(i) The perimeter and
(ii) The are of the rectangle.
Solution:
At any instant of time t, let length, breadth, perimeter and area of the rectangle are x, y, P and A respectively, then
P = 2(x + y) and A = xy …… (i)
It is given that \(\frac{d x}{d t}\) = -5 cm/mm and \(\frac{d y}{d t}\) = -5 = 4 cm/min
(-ve sign shows that the length is decreasing)
(i) Now, P = 2(x + y).
On differentiating w.r.t. t, we get Rate of change of pert meter
\(\frac{d P}{d t}=2\left(\frac{d x}{d t}+\frac{d y}{d t}\right)\)
= 2(-5 + 4) cm/min
= -2 cm/min [∴ \(\frac{d x}{d t}\) = -5 and \(\frac{d y}{d t}\) = 4]
Hence, perimeter of the rectangle is decreasing (-ve sign) at the rate of 2 cm/min.
(ii) Here, area of rectangle A = xy.
On differentiating w.r.t. t, we get
Rate of change \(\frac{d A}{d t}=x \frac{d y}{d t}+y \frac{d x}{d t}\)
= 8 × 4 + 6 × (5) [∴ \(\frac{d x}{d t}\) = -5 and \(\frac{d y}{d t}\) = 4]
= 32 – 30
= 2 cm2/min
Hence, area of the rectangle is increasing at the rate of 2 cm2/min.
Note: It rate of change is increasing, we take positive sign and if the rate of change is decreasing, then we take a negative sign.

Let \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}}\) be the position vector of any point P(x, y, z) in the plane.
Then the point P lies in the plane if and only if \(\overline{\mathrm{AP}}\) is perpendicular to \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{N}}\)
i.e. \(\overline{\mathrm{AP}} \cdot \overline{\mathrm{N}}=0\)
