Relations and Functions
Short Answer Type Questions
Q. 1 Let A = {a, b, c} and the relation R be defined on A as follows
R = {(a, a), (b, c ), (a, b)}
Then, write minimum number of ordered pairs to be added in R to make
R reflexive and transitive.
Sol. Given relation, R = {(a, a), (b, c ), (a, b )}.
To make R is reflexive we must add (b, b ) and (c, c ) to R. Also, to make R is transitive we must
add (a, c ) to R.
So, minimum number of ordered pair is to be added are (b, b ), (c, c ), (a, c ).
Q. 5 If A = {a, b, c, d } and the function f = {(a, b), (b, d), (c, a), (d, c)}, write
-1
f .
Sol. Given that, A = {a, b, c, d }
and f = {(a, b ), (b, d ), (c, a), (d , c )}
f -1 = {(b, a), (d , b ), (a, c ), (c, d )}
Q. 7 Is g = {(1, 1), (2, 3), (3, 5), (4, 7)} a function? If g is described by
g(x) = a x + b, then what value should be assigned to a and b?
Sol. Given that, g = {(1, 1), (2, 3), (3, 5), (4, 7)}.
Here, each element of domain has unique image. So, g is a function.
Now given that, g (x ) = ax + b
g(1) = a + b
a + b =1 …(i)
g(2 ) = 2 a + b
2a + b = 3 …(ii)
From Eqs. (i) and (ii),
2(1 - b ) + b = 3
Þ 2 - 2b + b = 3
Þ 2 -b = 3
b = -1
If b = - 1, then a = 2
a = 2, b = - 1
Relations and Functions 3
Q. 9 If the mappings f and g are given by f = {(1, 2), (3, 5), (4, 1)} and
g = {(2, 3), (5, 1), (1, 3)}, write fog.
Sol. Given that, f = {(1, 2), (3, 5), (4, 1)}
and g = {(2, 3), (5, 1), (1, 3)}
Now, fog (2 ) = f{g (2 )} = f(3) = 5
fog (5) = f{g (5)} = f(1) = 2
fog (1) = f{g (1)} = f(3) = 5
fog = {(2, 5), (5, 2 ), (1, 5)}
Q. 12 Let X = {1, 2, 3} and Y = {4, 5}. Find whether the following subsets of
X ´ Y are functions from X to Y or not.
(i) f = {(1, 4), (1, 5), (2, 4), (3, 5)} (ii) g = {(1, 4), (2, 4), (3, 4)}
(iii) h = {(1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 5)} (iv) k = {(1, 4), (2, 5)}
Sol. Given that, X = {1, 2, 3} and Y = {4, 5}
X ´ Y = {(1, 4), (1, 5), (2, 4), (2, 5), (3, 4), (3, 5)}
(i) f = {(1, 4), (1, 5), (2, 4), (3, 5)}
f is not a function because f has not unique image.
(ii) g = {(1, 4), (2, 4), (3, 4)}
Since, g is a function as each element of the domain has unique image.
(iii) h = {(1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 5)}
It is clear that h is a function.
(iv) k = {(1, 4), (2, 5)}
k is not a function as 3 has not any image under the mapping.

Q. 20 Let A = R - {3}, B = R - {1}. If f : A ® B be defined by f (x) = ,
x -3
" x Î A. Then, show that f is bijective.
K Thinking Process
A function f : x ® y is said to be bijective, if f is both one-one and onto.
Sol. Given that, A = R - {3}, B = R - {1}.
x -2
f : A ® B is defined by f(x ) = ,"xÎA
x-3
For injectivity
x1 - 2 x 2 - 2
Let f( x1 ) = f( x 2 ) Þ =
x1 - 3 x 2 - 3
Þ (x1 - 2 )(x 2 - 3) = (x 2 - 2 )(x1 - 3)
Þ x1x 2 - 3x1 - 2 x 2 + 6 = x1x 2 - 3x 2 - 2 x1 + 6
Þ -3x1 - 2 x 2 = - 3x 2 - 2 x1
Þ - x1 = - x 2 Þ x1 = x 2
So, f(x ) is an injective function.
For surjectivity
x -2
Let y= Þ x - 2 = xy - 3 y
x-3
2 - 3y
Þ x(1 - y) = 2 - 3 y Þ x =
1- y
3y - 2
Þ x= Î A, " y Î B [codomain]
y-1
So, f(x ) is surjective function.
Hence, f(x ) is a bijective function.
(ii) g (x ) = |x|
Let g ( x1 ) = g ( x 2 )
Þ |x1| = |x 2| Þ x1 = ± x 2
So, g (x ) is not one-one.
Now, y =|x| Þ x = ± y Ï A, " y Î A
So, g (x ) is not onto, also, g (x ) is not bijective.
(iii) h(x ) = x|x|
Let h(x1 ) = h(x 2 )
Þ x1|x1| = x 2|x 2| Þ x1 = x 2
So, h(x ) is one-one.
Now, let y = x|x|
Þ y = x 2 Î A, " x Î A
So, h(x ) is onto also, h(x ) is a bijective.
(iv) k(x ) = x 2
Let k(x1 ) = k(x 2 )
Þ x12 = x 22 Þ x1 = ± x 2
Thus, k(x ) is not one-one.
Now, let y = x2
Þ x = y Ï A, " y Î A
As for y = - 1, x = -1 Ï A
Hence, k(x ) is neither one-one nor onto.
(ii) x + y = 10, x, y Î N
R = {(x, y); x + y = 10, x, y Î N}
R = {(1, 9), (2, 8), (3, 7), (4, 6), (5, 5), (6, 4), (7, 3), (8, 2), (9, 1)} (1, 1) Ï R
So, R is not reflexive.
(x, y) Î R Þ ( y, x ) Î R
Therefore, R is symmetric.
(1, 9) Î R, (9, 1) Î R Þ (1, 1) Ï R
Hence, R is not transitive.
(iii) Given xy, is square of an integer x, y Î N.
Þ R = {(x, y) : xy is a square of an integer x, y Î N}
(x, x ) Î R, " x Î N
As x 2 is square of an integer for any x Î N.
Hence, R is reflexive.
If (x, y) Î R Þ ( y, x ) Î R
Therefore, R is symmetric.
If (x, y) Î R, ( y, z) Î R
So, xy is square of an integer and yz is square of an integer.
Let xy = m2 and yz = n2 for some m, n Î Z
m2 x2
x= and z =
y y
m2 n2
xz = , which is square of an integer.
y2
So, R is transitive.
(iv) x + 4 y = 10, x, y Î N
R = {(x, y) : x + 4 y = 10, x, y Î N}
R = {(2, 2 ), (6, 1)}
(1, 1), (3, 3), K, Ï R
Thus, R is not reflexive.
(6, 1) Î R but (1, 6) Ï R
Hence, R is not symmetric.
(x, y) Î R Þ x + 4 y = 10 but ( y, z) Î R
y + 4 z = 10 Þ (x, z) Î R
So, R is transitive.
(ii) a * b = a2 + b 2
b * a = b 2 + a2
So, * is commutative. [since, ‘+’ is on rational is commutative]
(iii) a * b = a + ab
b * a = b + ab
Clearly, a + ab ¹ b + ab
So, * is not commutative.
(iv) a * b = (a - b )2 , " a, b Î Q
b * a = (b - a)2
Q (a - b )2 = (b - a)2
Hence, * is commutative.

Matrices
Short Answer Type Questions
Q. 1 If a matrix has 28 elements, what are the possible orders it can have?
What if it has 13 elements?
Sol. We know that, if a matrix is of order m ´ n, it has mn elements, where m and n are natural
numbers.
We have, m ´ n = 28
Þ (m, n)= {(1, 28), (2, 14), (4, 7), (7, 4), (14, 2), (28, 1)}
So, the possible orders are 1 ´ 28, 2 ´ 14, 4 ´ 7, 7 ´ 4, 14 ´ 2, 28 ´ 1.
Also, if it has 13 elements, then m ´ n = 13
Þ (m, n) = {(1,13), (13,1)}
Hence, the possible orders are 1 ´ 13, 13 ´ 1 .

Q. 29 Show that A ¢ A and A A¢ are both symmetric matrices for any matrix
A.
K Thinking Process
We know that, for a matrix A to be symmetric matrix, A¢ = A . Also by using the result
(AB)¢= BA¢, we can prove that A¢A and AA¢ are both symmetric matrices for any matrix
A.
Sol. Let P = A ¢A
\ P ¢ = ( AA¢)¢
= A¢( A ¢)¢ [Q ( AB¢)¢= B¢A ¢]
= A ¢A = P
So, A ¢A is symmetric matrix for any matrix A.
Similarly, let Q = A A¢
\ Q ¢ = ( AA ¢)¢ = ( A ¢)¢( A)¢
= A ( A ¢)¢ = Q
So, AA ¢ is symmetric matrix for any matrix A.

= A 2 + AB + BA + B2
= A 2 + AB + AB + B2 [Q AB = BA]

Since, y+ b q + v m+ g

Short Answer Type Questions
Q. 1 Examine the continuity of the function f (x) = x 3 + 2x 2 - 1 at x = 1.
K Thinking Process
We know that, function f will be continuous at x = a, if lim f (x) = lim f (x) = f (a) .
x®a- x ® a+
and f(1) = 1 + 2 - 1 = 2
So, f(x ) is continuous at x = 1.
Note Every polynomial function is continuous at any real point.

Q. 71 Find the points on the curve y = (cos x - 1) in [0, 2p], where the
tangent is parallel to X-axis.
K Thinking Process
We know that, if f be a real valued function defined in the closed interval [a , b] such that
it follows all the three conditions of Rolle’s theorem, then f ¢(c) = 0 shows that the
tangent to the curve at x = c has a slope 0, i.e., it is parallel to the X-axis. So, by getting
the value of c¢ we can get the required point.
Sol. The equation of the curve is y = cos x - 1.
Now, we have to find a point on the curve in [0, 2p ],
where the tangent is parallel to X-axis i.e., the tangent to the curve at x = c has a slope o,
where c Î] 0, 2p[.
Let us apply Rolle’s theorem to get the point.
(i) y = cos x - 1is a continuous function in [0, 2p ].
[since it is a combination of cosine function and a constant function]
(ii) y¢ = - sin x , which exists in (0, 2p).
Hence, y is differentiable in (0, 2p).
(iii) y (0) = cos 0 - 1 = 0 and y (2 p ) = cos 2 p - 1 = 0,
\ y (0) = y (2 p)
Since, conditions of Rolle’s theorem are satisfied.
Hence, there exists a real number c such that
f ¢(c ) = 0
Þ - sinc = 0
Þ c = p or 0, where p Î(0, 2 p)
Þ x=p
\ y = cos p - 1 = - 2
Hence, the required point on the curve, where the tangent drawn is parallel to the X-axis is
(p, - 2 ).

(i) Since, f(x ) is a polynomial function.
Hence, f(x ) is continuous in [0, 1].
(ii) f ¢(x ) = 3x 2 - 4x - 1, which exists in (0,1).
Hence, f(x ) is differentiable in (0,1).
Since, conditions of mean value theorem are satisfied.
Therefore, by mean value theorem $ c Î (01, , ) such that

Þ x 2 £ ± 5 Þ -5 £ x £ 5
Hence, f(x ) is continuous in [1, 5].

Also, y¢ = 4x - 5, which exists in (1, 2).

We shall now evaluate the value of f at these points and at the end points of the interval

\ f(4) = 43 - 18 × 42 + 96 × 4

f(8) = 83 - 18 × 82 + 96 × 8 = 128
f(9) = 93 - 18 × 92 + 96 × 9
= 729 - 1458 + 864 = 135
and f(0) = 03 - 18 × 02 + 96 × 0 = 0
Thus, we conclude that absolute minimum value of f on [0, 9] is 0 occurring at x = 0.

Q. 27 Area of the region in the first quadrant enclosed by the X-axis, the
line y = x and the circle x 2 + y 2 = 32 is
(a) 16p sq units (b) 4p sq units (c) 32p sq units (d) 24 p sq units
Sol. (b) We have, area enclosed by X-axis i.e., y = 0, y = x and the circle x 2 + y2 = 32 in first
quadrant.
Since, x 2 + (x )2 = 32 [Q y = x ]
Þ 2 x 2 = 32
Þ x=±4
So, the intersection point of circle x 2 + y2 = 32 and line y = x are (4, 4) or (- 4, 4).

Since, y=0

vectors of the points A and C are 6$i + 7$j + 4 k$ and - 9$i + 2k, $
respectively. Find the position vector of a point P on the line AB and a
® ® ®
point Q on the line CD such that PQ is perpendicular to AB and CD
both.
® ®
Sol. We have, AB = 3 $i - $j + k$ and CD = - 3 $i + 2 $j + 4 k$
®
Also, the position vectors of A and C are 6$i + 7 $j + 4k$ and - 9$j + 2k$ , respectively. Since, PQ
® ®
is perpendicular to both AB and CD.
So, P and Q will be foot of perpendicular to both the lines through A and C.
®
Now, equation of the line through A and parallel to the vector AB is,
®
r = (6$i + 7 $j + 4 k$ ) + l (3$i - $j + k$ )
®
and the line through C and parallel to the vector CD is given by
®
r = – 9$j + 2 k$ + m (– 3 $i + 2 $j + 4 k$ ) .. .(i)
®
Let r = (6$i + 7 $j + 4 k$ ) + l (3$i - $j + k$ )
®
and r = – 9$j + 2 k$ + m (– 3$i + 2 $j + 4 k$ ) ...(ii)
Let P (6 + 3l, 7 - l, 4 + l) is any point on the first line and Q be any point on second line is
given by (– 3 m , - 9 + 2m , 2 + 4m ).
®
\ PQ = (– 3m – 6 – 3 l) $i + (-9 + 2 m - 7 + l)$j + (2 + 4 m - 4 - l) k$
= (– 3m – 6 – 3l) $i + (2 m + l – 16)$j + (4 m - l – 2 ) k$
®
If PQ is perpendicular to the first line, then
3 (– 3m – 6 – 3l) – (2 m + l - 16) + (4 m – l - 2 ) = 0
Þ – 9 m – 18 – 9 l - 2m - l + 16 + 4m - l - 2 = 0
Þ - 7 m - 11l - 4 = 0 ...(iii)
®
If PQ is perpendicular to the second line, then
– 3 (– 3 m – 6 – 3l) + 2 (2m + l - 16) + 4 (4m – l - 2 ) = 0
Þ 9m + 18 + 9l + 4m + 2 l – 32 +16 m - 4l – 8 = 0
Þ 29 m + 7 l - 22 = 0 ...(iv)
On solving Eqs. (iii) and (iv), we get
- 49 m - 77 l - 28 = 0
Þ 319 m + 77 l - 242 = 0
Þ 270 m – 270 = 0
Þ m =1
Using m in Eq. (iii), we get
– 7 (1) – 11l – 4 = 0
Þ – 7 – 11l – 4 = 0
Þ – 11 – 11l = 0
Þ l= –1

\ PQ = [– 3 (1) – 6 – 3 (– 1)] $i + [2 (1) + (- 1) - 16] $j + [4(1) - (- 1) - 2 ] k$

We have, r = 2 $i - 3$j - k$ + l ($i - $j + 2 k$ )
Þ (x $i + y$j + zk$ ) = $i (2 + l) + $j ( - 3 - l) + k$ (- 1 + 2 l)
Since, x = (2 + l), y = (- 3 - l) and z = (- 1 + 2l) are coordinates of general point which

Now, we see that 3 is the smallest value of Z at the corner point (0, 3). Note that here we
see that, the region is unbounded, therefore 3 may or may not be the minimum value of Z.
To decide this issue, we graph the inequality 4x + y < 3 and check whether the resulting
open half plan has no point in common with feasible region otherwise, Z has no minimum
value.
From the shown graph above, it is clear that there is no point in common with feasible

From the shown graph, for the feasible region, we see that it is unbounded and coordinates
of corner points are (0, 0), (12, 6) and (0, 4).
For given unbounded region the minimum value of Z may or may not be -16. So, for
deciding this, we graph the inequality.
3x - 4 y < - 16
and check whether the resulting open half plane has common points with feasible region or
not.
Thus, from the figure it shows it has common points with feasible region, so it does not have
any minimum value.
Also, similarly for maximum value, we graph the inequality 3x - 4 y > 12
and see that resulting open half plane has no common points with the feasible region and
hence maximum value 12 exist for Z = 3x - 4 y.

Q. 2 Refer to question 1 above. If the die were fair, determine whether or not
the events A and B are independent.
Thinking Process
In a fair die, we have equally likely outcomes. So, with the given events A and B, we first
find P (A), P (B) and P (A Ç B) and then check whether they are dependent or independent.
Sol. Referring to the above solution, we have
A = {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4), (5, 5), (6, 6)}
Þ n ( A) = 6 and n (S ) = 62 = 36 [where, S is sample space]
n( A) 6 1
\ P( A) = = =
n(S ) 36 6
and B = {(4, 6), (6, 4), (5, 5), (6, 5), (5, 6), (6, 6)}
Þ n(B) = 6 and n(S ) = 62 = 36
n(B) 6 1
\ P (B) = = =
n(S ) 36 6
Also, A Ç B = {(5, 5), (6, 6)}
Þ n ( A Ç B) = 2 and n(S ) = 36
2 1
\ P ( A Ç B) = =
36 18
1
Also, P ( A) × P (B) =
36
Thus, P ( A Ç B) ¹ P ( A) × P (B) éQ 1 ¹ 1 ù
ëê 18 36 ûú
So, we can say that both A and B are not independent events.
Q. 3 The probability that atleast one of the two events A and B occurs is 0.6.
If A and B occur simultaneously with probability 0.3, evaluate
P ( A) + P (B).
Sol. We know that, A È B denotes the occurrence of atleast one of A and B and A Ç B denotes
the occurrence of both A and B, simultaneously.
Thus, P ( A È B) = 0.6 and P ( A Ç B) = 0. 3
Also, P ( A È B) = P ( A) + P (B) - P ( A Ç B)
Þ 0. 6 = P ( A) + P (B) - 0. 3
Þ P ( A) + P (B) = 0. 9
Þ [1 - P ( A)] + [1 - P (B)] = 0. 9 [Q P ( A) = 1 - P ( A) and P (B) = 1 - P (B) ]
Þ P ( A) + P (B) = 2 - 0. 9 = 11

Q. 4 A bag contains 5 red marbles and 3 black marbles. Three marbles are
drawn one by one without replacement. What is the probability that
atleast one of the three marbles drawn be black, if the first marble is
red?
Sol. Let R = {5 red marbles} and B = {3 black marbles}
For atleast one of the three marbles drawn be black, if the first marble is red, then the
following three conditions will be followed
(i) Second ball is black and third is red (E1 ).
(ii) Second ball is black and third is also black (E 2 ).
(iii) Second ball is red and third is black (E3 ).

Q. 5 Two dice are thrown together and the total score is noted. The events E,
F and G are ‘a total of 4’, ‘a total of 9 or more’ and ‘a total divisible by 5’,
respectively. Calculate P (E ), P (F ) and P (G) and decide which pairs of
events, if any are independent.
Sol. Two dice are thrown together i.e., sample space (S ) = 36 Þ n(S ) = 36
E = A total of 4 = {(2, 2), (3, 1), (1, 3)}
Þ n (E ) = 3
F = A total of 9 or more
= {(3, 6), (6, 3), (4, 5), (4, 6), (5, 4), (6, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6), (6, 5), (6, 6)}
Þ n(F ) = 10
G = a total divisible by 5 = {(1, 4), (4, 1), (2, 3), (3, 2), (4, 6), (6, 4), (5, 5)}
Þ n(G ) = 7
Here, (E Ç F ) = f and (E Ç G ) = f
Also, (F Ç G ) = {(4, 6), (6, 4), (5, 5)}

[since, only F and G have common events, so only F and G are used here]
Hence, there is no pair which is independent.
Q. 6 Explain why the experiment of tossing a coin three times is said to have
Binomial distribution.
Sol. We know that, a random variable X taking values 0, 1, 2, ..., n is said to have a binomial
distribution with parameters n and P, if its probability distribution is given by
P ( X = r ) = nC r pr q n - r
where, q = 1- p
and r = 0, 1, 2, ..., n
Probability 371
Similarly, in an experiment of tossing a coin three times, we have n = 3 and random variable
1 1
X can take values r = 0, 1, 2 and 3 with p = and q =
2 2
X 0 1 2 3
3 3 3 2 3 2 3 3
P (X ) C0 q C1 Pq C2 P q C3 P
So, we see that in the experiment of tossing a coin three times, we have random variable X
1
which can take values 0, 1, 2 and 3 with parameters n = 3 and P = .
2
Therefore, it is said to have a Binomial distribution.
Þ P1 + P2 + P3 + P4 = 1
Þ k + k2 + 2 k2 + k = 1
Þ 3 k2 + 2 k - 1 = 0

Þ 3 k(k + 1) - 1(k + 1) = 0

(ii) P (A È B) = P (A Ç B) + P (A Ç B) + P (A Ç B)
Sol. (i) Q P ( A) = P ( A Ç B) + P ( A Ç B)
\ RHS = P ( A Ç B) + P ( A Ç B)
= P ( A) × P (B) + P ( A) × P (B)

(ii) Q P ( A È B) = P ( A Ç B) + P ( A Ç B) + P ( A Ç B)
\ RHS = P ( A) × P (B) + P ( A) × P (B) + P ( A) × P (B)

Q. 13 In a dice game, a player pays a stake of ` 1 for each throw of a die. She
receives ` 5, if the die shows a 3, ` 2, if the die shows a 1 or 6 and
nothing otherwise, then what is the player’s expected profit per throw
over a long series of throws?
Thinking Process
Take X as the random variable of profit per throw and at X = -1, 1 and 4 get the values
of P (X) and use the formula expected profit E (X) = S X P (X) to get the desired result.
Sol. Let X is the random variable of profit per throw.

Q. 14 Three dice are thrown at the same time. Find the probability of getting

Sol. On a throw of three dice, we have sample space [n(S )] = 63 = 216
Let E1 is the event when the sum of numbers on the dice was six and E2 is the event when
three two’s occurs.
Þ E1 = {(1, 1, 4), (1, 2, 3), (1, 3, 2), (1, 4, 1), (2, 1, 3), (2, 2, 2), (2, 3, 1), (3, 1, 2),
(3, 2, 1), (4, 1, 1)}
Þ n(E1 ) = 10 and E2 = {2, 2, 2}
Þ n ( E2 ) = 1
Also, (E1 Ç E2 ) = 1

of ` 3000 and the second prize is of ` 2000. There are three third
prizes of ` 500 each. If you buy one ticket, then what is your
expectation?
Thinking Process
Take X is the random variable for the prize, so at X = 0, 500, 2000 and 3000, get P (X) for
each X and then use the formula of E (X) = SX P (X) to get the answer.

Q. 45 There are two bags, one of which contains 3 black and 4 white balls
while the other contains 4 black and 3 white balls. A die is thrown. If
it shows up 1 or 3, a ball is taken from the Ist bag but it shows up any
other number, a ball is chosen from the II bag. Find the probability of
choosing a black ball.
Sol. Since, Bag I = {3 black, 4 white balls}, Bag II = {4 black, 3 white balls}
Let E1 be the event that bag I is selected and E2 be the event that bag II is selected.
Let E3 be the event that black ball is chosen.

Q. 46 There are three urns containing 2 white and 3 black balls, 3 white and

equal probability of each urn being chosen. A ball is drawn at random
from the chosen urn and it is found to be white. Find the probability
that the ball drawn was from the second urn.
Sol. Let U1 = {2 white, 3 black balls }
U 2 = {3 white, 2 black balls}
and U 3 = {4 white, 1 black balls}

Let E1 be the event that a ball is chosen from urn U1, E 2 be the event that a ball is chosen
from urn U 2 and E3 be the event that a ball is chosen from urn U 3 .
Also, P (E1 ) = P (E2 ) = P (E3 ) = 1 / 3
