∴ Range of f (x) will be [0, ∞)

Reflexivity : Let a be an arbitrary element of R, Also, − 1 ≤ sin x ≤ 1
Then, a ∈ R 1
∴ ≤ esin x ≤ e
⇒ 1 + a ⋅ a = 1 + a2 > 0 [Qa 2 > 0 for all a ∈ R] e
⇒ (a , a) ∈ R1 [By def. of R1 ] ∴ esin x ≠ 2 + 5
Thus, (a , a) ∈ R1 for all a ∈ R. So, R1 is reflexive on R. Hence, there is no value of x.
Symmetry : Let (a , b) ∈ R. 32. (d) Given, that angles of a triangles are 2x, 3x and
Then, (a , b) ∈ R1 7x.
⇒ 1 + ab > 0 [Qab = b for all] Since, 2x + 3x + 7 x = 180
⇒ 1 + ba > 0 ⇒ (b , a) ∈ R1 ⇒ 12x = 180º ⇒ x = 15º
Thus, (a , b) ∈ R1 ≠ (b , a) ∈ R, for all a , b ∈ R So, angles are 30º, 45º and 105º
So, R1 is symmetric on R. a

Let the slope of AC be m

y+ 7 = ( x − 2)
Again, we have 7
| A − λI | = 0 ⇒ 7 y + 49 = − 23x + 46
3− λ 0 3 ⇒ 23x + 7 y + 3 = 0
⇒ 0 3− λ 0 =0 When m = 1, then equation of line
3 0 3− λ y + 7 = ( x − 2)
⇒ x− y−9 =0
⇒ (3 − λ ) [(3 − λ ) − 0]− 0 + 3[0 − 3(3− λ)] = 0

73. (a, c) Given equation of hyperbola can be write as

⇒ (3 − λ )3 − 9(3 − λ ) = 0
⇒ (3 − λ ) [(3 − λ )2 − 9] = 0 x2 y2

By solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get the point B(6, − 1) ⇒ 64 + 4m2 − 32m = m2 − 5

When m = , then equation of tangent
3 We have, g(a) = g(b) = 0
23 ⇒ g′(a) ⋅ g′(b) < 0
(y − 8) = (x − 2)
3 Again, let m(x) = g′(x) + kg(x)
⇒ 3y − 24 = 23x − 46 ⇒ m(a) = g′(a) + kg(a) = g′(a)
⇒ 23x − 3y − 46 + 24 = 0 ⇒ m(b) = g′(b) + kg(b) = g′(b)
⇒ 23x − 3y − 22 = 0 ∴ m(a) ⋅ m(b) = g′(a) ⋅ g′(b) < 0
When m = 3, then equation of tangent ∴ m(x) = 0 has root between (a , b).
(y − 8) = 3(x − 2) So, option (a) and (c) are correct.
⇒ y − 8 = 3x − 6 3
⇒ 3x − y − 6 + 8 = 0 75. (d) Given, f (x) = x − sin πx + 3

⇒ 3x − y + 2 = 0
differentiating w.r.t. x, we get
Hence, option (a) and (c) are correct.

74. (a, c) From option (a) 4
We have, at x = − 2, f(− 2) = 1
f (a) = f (b) = 0 and at x = 2, f(2) = 5
⇒ f ′(a) ⋅ f ′(b) < 0
Again, let h(x) = f ′(x) + f (x) g′(x)
⇒ h(a) = f ′(a) + f (a) g′(a) = f ′(a)
and h(b) = f ′(b) + f (b) g′(b) = f ′(b) –2 2
∴ h(a) ⋅ h(b) = f ′(a) ⋅ f ′(b) < 0
∴ h(x) = 0 has root between (a, b)
