Sol. Let S = {1, 2, 3, …, 10}
Ans. (3)
R = {(A, B): A  B  ; A, B  M}
Sol. (2k, 3k) will lie on circle whose diameter is AB.
For Reflexive,
M is subset of ‘S’
So  M
for    = 
 but relation is A  B  
So it is not reflexive. (x – 1) (x) + (y – 1) (y) = 0
For symmetric, x2 + y 2 – x – y = 0 …(i)
ARB A  B  ,
Satisfy (2k, 3k) in (i)
 BRA  B  A  ,
(2k)2 + (3k)2 – 2k – 3k = 0
So it is symmetric.
13k2 – 5k = 0
For transitive,
If A = {(1, 2), (2, 3)} 5
k = 0, k 
B = {(2, 3), (3, 4)} 13
C = {(3, 4), (5, 6)} 5
hence k 
ARB & BRC but A does not relate to C 13
So it not transitive

(4) Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct (1) Molarity
Ans. (3) (2) Mass percentage
Sol. Statement-I: Oxygen can have oxidation state from (3) Molality
