ASSERTION-REASON BASED QUESTIONS

In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R).
Choose the correct answer out of the following choices.
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true.

x  2 y 1 z  z x  3 y z 1
19. Assertion (A): Lines   and   are coplanar.
2 3 1 3 2 2
Reason (R): Let line l1 passes through the point (x1, y1, z1) and parallel to the vector whose
direction ratios are a1, b1 and c1; and let line l2 passes through the point (x2, y2, z2) and parallel
to the vector whose direction ratios are a2, b2 and c2.
x 2  x1 y2  y1 z2  z1
Then both lines l1 and l2 are coplanar if and only if a1 b1 c1 =0
a2 b2 c2
Ans: (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

20. Assertion (A): sin-1(sin(2π/3)) = 2π/3

Reason (R): sin-1(sin θ) = θ, if θ ∈ [(-π)/2, π/2]
Ans: (d) A is false but R is true.

The principal value branch of sin–1x is [(-π)/2, π/2]

Let x = sin θ ⇒ θ = sin–1x
sin–1(sin θ) = sin–1 x = θ
sin–1(sin θ) = θ, if θ ∈ [(-π)/2, π/2]
Hence R is true.

Hence A is false.

Questions 21 to 25 carry 2 marks each.

21. Check whether the relation R in the set Z of integers defined as R = {(a, b) : a + b is “divisible by
2”} is reflexive, symmetric or transitive. Write the equivalence class containing 0 i.e., [0]. 3
Ans: Reflexive: (a, a) : a + a = 2a which is even
∴ divisible by 2
∴ (a, a) ∈ R ∀ a ∈ Z. Hence R is reflexive.
Symmetric: If (a, b) ∈ R, then a + b is “divisible by 2”
Let a + b = 2m ⇒ b + a = 2m ...[∵ b + a = a + b
⇒ (b, a) ∈ R ∀ a, b ∈ z
Hence R is symmetric.
Transitive: If (a, b) ∈ R and (b, c) ∈ R
Let a + b = 2m ...(i)
b + c = 2n ...(ii)
Adding (i) and (ii), we have a + b + b + c = 2m + 2n
a + 2b + c = 2m + 2n ⇒ a + c = 2m + 2n – 2b ⇒ a + c = 2(m + n – b)
⇒ a + c = 2k ...where[k = m + n – b ⇒ (a, c) ∈ R
Hence R is transitive. Equivalence class containing 0 i.e. [0] = {......–4, –2, 0, 2, 4, ......}

Ans:

22. Show that the function f(x) = x3 – 3x2 + 6x – 100 is increasing on R.

Ans: We have, f(x) = x3 – 3x2 + 6x – 100 ...(i)
Differentiating (i) w.r.t. x, we get
f ′(x) = 3x2 – 6x + 6 = 3(x2 – 2x + 1) + 3
= 3(x – 1)2 + 3 > 0
For all values of x, (x – 1)2 is always positive
∴ f ′ (x) > 0
So, f(x) is an increasing function on R.

23. Discuss the continuity of the following function at x = 0 :

 x 4  2 x 3  x 2

f ( x)   tan 1 x


Ans:

Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 6-

 and f(0) = 0 (given)
so, L.H.L = R.H.L = f(0)
Hence given function is continuous at x = 0

 In the Interval f’(x) Conclusion
(0, 6) +ve f is strictly increasing in [0, 6]
(6, 12) -ve f is strictly decreasing in [6, 12]

OR
(iii) ( ) = −0.1 ² + 1.2 + 98.6,
'( ) = − 0.2 + 1.2, '(6) = 0,
''( ) = − 0.2
''(6) = − 0.2 < 0
Hence, by second derivative test 6 is a point of local maximum. The local maximum value = (6)
= − 0.1 × 6² + 1.2 × 6 + 98.6 = 102.2
We have (0) = 98.6, (6) = 102.2, (12) = 98.6
6 is the point of absolute maximum and the absolute maximum value of the function = 102.2.
0 and 12 both are the points of absolute minimum and the absolute minimum value of the
function = 98.6.

38. Case-Study 3:
Sonam wants to prepare a sweet box for Diwali at home. For making lower part of box, she takes
a square piece of cardboard of side 18 cm.
Now, x cm be the length of each side of the square cardboard which is to be cut off from corner
of the square piece of side 18 cm.

Based on the above information, answer the following questions :

(i) Express Volume of the open box formed by folding up the cutting corner in terms of x and
dV
find the value of x for which = 0.
dx
(ii) Sonam is interested in maximising the volume of the box. So, what should be the side of the
square to be cut off so that the volume of the box is maximum?
Ans: (i) height of open box = x cm
Length of open box = 18 – 2x
and width of open box = 18 – 2x
∴ Volume (V) of the open box = x × (18 – 2x) × (18 – 2x)
⇒ V = x(18 – 2x)2
dV
⇒ = x ⋅ 2(18 – 2x)(–2) + (18 – 2x)2
dx
= (18 – 2x)(–4x + 18 – 2x)
= (18 – 2x)(18 – 6x)
dV
Now, = 0 ⇒ 18 – 2x = 0 or 18 – 6x = 0
dx
⇒ x = 9 or 3

 dV
(ii) We have, V = x(18 – 2x)2 and = (18 – 2x)(18 – 6x)
dx
d 2V
⇒ = (18 – 2x)(–6) + (18 – 6x)(–2)
dx 2
= (–2)[54 – 6x + 18 – 6x]
= (–2)[72 – 12x] = 24x – 144
d 2V
For x = 3, <0
dx 2
d 2V
and for x = 9, >0
dx 2
So, volume will be maximum when x = 3.
