Marking Scheme — Mathematics 65(B)

General Instructions:
1. The Marking Scheme provides general guidelines to reduce subjectivity in the marking. The answers
given in the Marking Scheme are suggested answers. The content is thus indicative. If a student has
given any other answer which is different from the one given in the Marking Scheme, but conveys the
meaning, such answers should be given full weightage

2. Evaluation is to be done as per instructions provided in the marking scheme. It should not be done
according to one’s own interpretation or any other consideration — Marking Scheme should be
strictly adhered to and religiously followed.

3. Alternative methods are accepted. Proportional marks are to be awarded.

4. In question (s) on differential equations, constant of integration has to be written.

5. If a candidate has attempted an extra question, marks obtained in the question attempted first should
be retained and the other answer should be scored out.

6. A full scale of marks - 0 to 100 has to be used. Please do not hesitate to award full marks if the answer
deserves it.

7. Separate Marking Scheme for all the three sets has been given.

8. As per orders of the Hon’ble Supreme Court. The candidates would now be permitted to obtain
photocopy of the Answer book on request on payment of the prescribed fee. All examiners/Head
Examiners are once again reminded that they must ensure that evaluation is carried out strictly as per
value points for each answer as given in the Marking Scheme.

24. Reflexive

Clearly (x, x) ∈ R ∵ x is either odd or even. So R is reflexive 1

Symmetric

Let (x, y) ∈ R

∴ x, y are both either odd or even

⇒ y, x are both either odd or even

⇒ (y, x) ∈ R, So R is symmetric 2

Transitive

Let (x, y) ∈ R and (y, z) ∈ R

(9) 65(B)
 65(B)
Case (i) x and y are both odd so y and z are both odd

∴ x and z are both odd

∴ (x, z) ∈ R

Case (ii) x and y are both even, so y and z are both even

∴ x and z are both even

∴ (x, z) ∈ R

Thus (x, y) and (y, z) ∈ R ⇒ (x, z) ∈ R 2

R is transitive

As R is reflexive, symmetric and transitive so R is an equivalence relation.

[1] = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9}

 are required equivalence classes 1
[2] = {2, 4, 6, 8}  2

OR

a * b = a + b + ab

b * a = b + a + ba

∴a*b=b*a ∀ a, b ∈ A

So * is commutative 2

a * (b * c) = a * (b + c + bc) = a + b + c + bc + ab + ac + abc

(a * b) * c = (a + b + ab) * c = a + b + ab + c + ac + bc + abc

a * (b * c) = (a * b) * c ∀ a, b, c ∈ A

∴ * is associative 3

a*0=a+0+a.0=a 1

0*a=0+a+0.a=a

and 0 ∈ A ∴ 0 is the identity element
