4. (a) 3
Explanation: We are given that,

Here, it is a G.P. with a = and r =

= = 3
5. (a) right angled
Explanation: The lines formed by these lines is a right-angled, triangle.
Two lines are perpendicular to each other if the product of their slopes is -1.
Slope of the lines 3x - y – 4 = 0, x + 3y – 4 = 0 are 3 and respectively.
The product of these slopes is -1
Hence the lines 3x - y – 4 = 0, x + 3y – 4 = 0 are perpendicular to each other.
Therefore the triangle formed by these lines is a right-angled triangle.

= [ = nan-1]

7. (b) A. M.
Explanation: As A.M is calculated as the sum of all the observations divided by the number of
observations, so it is affected by if there is any change in the outliers.
8. (d) A B =
Explanation: Two sets are called disjoint if and only if these two set have no common element i.e

9. (c) 2

Explanation: f(x) = = = 1

f(-x) = = = -1
f(x) - f(-x) = 1 - (-1) = 1 + 1 = 2

A.M = A = , G.M. = G = and H.M = H =

Now AH = = ab = = G2

12. (c) less than 60o

Explanation: The angle between two straight lines is given by
Here m1 = 2 and m2 = -2
Sustituting the values we get,

tan =

Explanation: S.D =
So it depends only on number of observations not on individual observations.
15. (d) (x: x x ).
Explanation: (x: x x ). x is not equal to x is null set as it refers to there is no element in the set.And it
also representing the set builder form pattern
16. (a) f = -9

Since, and are its roots,

f(x) = 33 - 12(3)
= 27-36
= -9
so,

Explanation: As per the given conditions,
S3n = S4n - S3n
2S3n = S4n

2 {2a + (3n - 1)d} = {2a + (4n - 1) d}

3{2a + (3n - 1)d} = 2{2a + (4n - 1) d}
6a + 9nd - 3d = 4a + 8nd - 2d

Section B
21. (a) 8
Explanation: = = = 8
22. (c) 31
Explanation: The number of proper subsets of any set is given by the formula 2n - 1 where n is the
number of elements in the set.
Here, we have n = 5
Number of proper subsets of A = 25 - 1 = 31

4x + 41-x therefore, the correct option is 4

26. (d) - n
Explanation:

27. (d) 75
Explanation: mean = = 75
28. (a)
Explanation: A = {x : x is a multiple of 3}
A = {3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36, 39, 42, 45, 48,...}
B = {x : x is a multiple of 5}
B = {5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50,...}
Now we have:
A - B = {3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 21, 24, 27, 33, 36, 39, 42, 48, ...}
= A - ( A B)

(II)
Where X =

(III) This is correct because,

30. (d) (- 4, - 3]
Explanation: The roots of the quadratic equation x2 - (m + 1)x + m + 4 = 0 will be real, if its
discriminant is greater than or equal to zero.
m + 12 - 4m + 4 0
m - 5m + 3 0
m -3 or m 5 ... (i)
It is also given that, the roots of x2 - (m + 1)x + m + 4 = 0 are negative.
So, the sum of the roots will be negative.
Sum of the roots < 0
m + 1 < 0
m < -1 ... (ii) and product of zeros > 0
m + 4 > 0
m > -4 ...(iii)
From 1, 2 and 3, we get,
m ∈ (-4, -3]
31. (d) 15

Copyright © myCBSEguide.com. Mass distribution in any mode is strictly prohibited. 12 / 16

 myCBSEguide

Explanation: The required numbers are 12,18,24,......,96.

This is an AP in which a = 12, d = 6 and tn = 96.
a + (n - 1)d = 96
12 + (n - 1) 6 = 96

n = 15
Therefore, there are 15 such numbers
32. (a)

Explanation: =

Substitute n =

33. (c)
Explanation: If each observation is increased by a constant k, then standard deviation is unchanged.
34. (a) 5
Explanation: x =
x + 3
x2 + 6x + 9 = = = -3
x2 + 6x + 12 = 0
Now x4 + 6x3 + 10x2 - 12x - 19 = (x2 - 2)(x2 + 6x + 12) + 5 = (x2 - 2) 0 + 5 = 5
35. (b) 22
Explanation: We have, a = 4 and T5 = 28 a + 4d = 28 4 + 4d = 28 d = 6.
x3 = a + 3d = 4 + 3 6 = 22.
36. (b) 45
Explanation: Let U denote the set of students of the class and let M and P denote the sets of students
who passed in mathematics and physics respectively. Then
n(U) = 100, n(M) = 55 and n(P) = 67
Since all the students have passed in any of these subjects, we have
n(U) = 100 n(M P) = 100
Now we have, n(M P) = n(M) + n(P) - n(M P)
100 = 55 + 67 - n(M P)
n(M P) = 122 - 100 = 22
Which means the number of students who passed in both the subjects = 22
Hence the number of students who passed only in physics = n(P) - n(M P) = 67 - 22 = 45
37. (b) odd
Explanation: f(-x) =
= log (1 - x) - log (1 + x)
= -[log (1 + x) - log (1 - x)]
= = -f(x)
f is an odd function.
38. (d) purely imaginary or zero
Explanation: Let Z = x + iy
Given |z| = 1 x2 + y2 = 1

 myCBSEguide

Now,

= =

= = [ x2 + y2 = 1]

= 0 +

Which is purely imaginary number.

Also when y = 0, the number will become zero
39. (c) 2
Explanation: Given sum of the series is:
Sn = 3n2 - n

S1 = 3(1)2 - 1
S1 = 2
a1 = 2
40. (d) 3
Explanation: Let r be the common ratio of the G.P.
Given S10 = 244 S5

= 244

We have Sn =

= 244

r10 - 1 - 244r5 + 244 = 0

(r5)2 - 244r5 + 243 = 0
(r5)2 - 243r5 - 1r5 + 243 = 0
r5(r5 - 1) - 243(r5 - 1) = 0
r5 = 243 or r5 = 1
Since r - 1 0, r cannot be 1
r = = 3
Section C
41. (a) 290
Explanation: We have,total number of persons are 840
Persons who read Hindi and English are 450 and 300 respectively
Persons who read both are 200
Now to find: number of persons who read neither
Suppose U be the total number of persons, H and E be the number of persons who read Hindi and
English respectively
n(U) = 840, n(H) = 450, n(E) = 300, n(H ∩ E) = 200
Number of persons who read either of them

 myCBSEguide

n(H ∪ E)= n(H) + n(E) – n(H ∩ E)

= 450 + 300 – 200 = 550
Number of persons who read neither,we have
= Total – n(H ∪ E)
= 840 – 550 = 290
Therefore, there are 290 persons who read neither Hindi nor English.
42. (a) {2, 3, 4, 5}
Explanation: Relatively prime numbers are those numbers that have only 1 as the common factor.
So, according to this definition we get to know that (2, 3), (2, 7), (3, 7), (3, 10), (4, 3), (4, 7), (5, 3), (5, 6), (5,
7) are relatively prime.
So, R = {(2, 3), (2, 7), (3, 7), (3, 10), (4, 3), (4, 7), (5, 3), (5, 6) ,(5, 7)}.
Therefore, the Domain of R is the values of x or the first element of the ordered pair.
So, Domain = {2, 3, 4, 5}
43. (a) i

Explanation: Given Z =

Z3 = [ (a + b)3 = a3 + b3 + 3ab(a + b)]

Z3 =

Z3 =

Z3 = [ i2 = -1]

Z3 = = i
44. (c) 10
Explanation: Here, a = -14 and a+ 4d = 2 - 14 + 4d = 2 4d = 16 d = 4
a = -14 and d = 4.

n(4n- 32) = 80
n(n - 8) = 20
n(n- 10) + 2(n - 10) = 0
(n - 10)(n + 2) = 0
n = 10
