Question 1.
If (x – 1, y + 4) = (1, 2), find the values of x and y.
Solution:
(x – 1, y + 4) = (1, 2)
By the definition of equality of ordered pairs, we have
x – 1 = 1 and y + 4 = 2
∴ x = 2 and y = -2

Question 2.
If \(\left(x+\frac{1}{3}, \frac{y}{3}-1\right)=\left(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{3}{2}\right)\), find x and y.
Solution:
\(\left(x+\frac{1}{3}, \frac{y}{3}-1\right)=\left(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{3}{2}\right)\)
By the definition of equality of ordered pairs, we have
x + \(\frac{1}{3}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\) and \(\frac{y}{3}\) – 1 = \(\frac{3}{2}\)
∴ x = \(\frac{1}{2}\) – \(\frac{1}{3}\) and \(\frac{y}{3}\) = \(\frac{3}{2}\) + 1
∴ x = \(\frac{1}{6}\) and y = \(\frac{15}{2}\)

Question 3.
If A = {a, b, c}, B = {x, y}, find A × B, B × A, A × A, B × B.
Solution:
A = (a, b, c}, B = {x, y}
A × B = {(a, x), (a, y), (b, x), (b, y), (c, x), (c, y)}
B × A = {(x, a), (x, b), (x, c), (y, a), (y, b), (y, c)}
A × A = {(a, a), (a, b), (a, c), (b, a), (b, b), (b, c), (c, a), (c, b), (c, c)}
B × B = {(x, x), (x, y), (y, x), (y, y)}

Question 4.
If P = {1, 2, 3} and Q = {1, 4}, find sets P × Q and Q × P.
Solution:
P = {1, 2, 3}, Q = {1, 4}
∴ P × Q = {(1, 1), (1, 4), (2, 1), (2, 4), (3, 1), (3, 4)}
and Q × P = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3)}

Question 5.

(i) A × (B ∩ C) = (A × B) ∩ (A × C)
(ii) A × (B ∪ C) = (A × B) ∪ (A × C)
Solution:
A = {1, 2, 3, 4}, B = {4, 5, 6}, C = {5, 6}
(i) B ∩ C = {5, 6}
A × (B ∩ C) = = {(1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 5), (3, 6), (4, 5), (4, 6)}
A × B = {(1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6)}
A × C = {(1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 5), (3, 6), (4, 5), (4, 6)}
∴ (A × B) ∩ (A × C) = {(1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 5), (3, 6), (4, 5), (4, 6)}
∴ A × (B ∩ C) = (A × B) ∩ (A × C)

(ii) B ∪ C = {4, 5, 6}
A × (B ∪ C) = {(1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3,4), (3, 5), (3, 6), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6)}
A × B = {(1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6)}
A × C = {(1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 5), (3, 6), (4, 5), (4, 6)}
∴ (A × B) ∪ (A × C) = {(1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6)}
∴ A × (B ∪ C) = (A × B) ∪ (A × C)

Question 6.
Express {(x, y) / x² + y² = 100, where x, y ∈ W} as a set of ordered pairs.
Solution:
{(x, y) / x² + y² = 100, where x, y ∈ W}
We have, x² + y² = 100
When x = 0 and y = 10,
x² + y² = 0² + 10² = 100
When x = 6 and y = 8,
x² + y² = 6² + 8² = 100
When x = 8 and y = 6,
x² + y² = 8² + 6² = 100
When x = 10 and y = 0,
x² + y² = 10² + 0² = 100
∴ Set of ordered pairs = {(0, 10), (6, 8), (8, 6), (10, 0)}

Question 7.
Let A = {6, 8} and B = {1, 3, 5}. Show that R₁ = {(a, b) / a ∈ A, b ∈ B, a – b is an even number} is a null relation, R₂ = {(a, b) / a ∈ A, b ∈ B, a + b is an odd number} is a universal relation.
Solution:
A = {6, 8}, B = {1, 3, 5}
R₁ = {(a, b)/ a ∈ A, b ∈ B, a – b is an even number}
a ∈ A
∴ a = 6, 8
b ∈ B
∴ b = 1, 3, 5
When a = 6 and b = 1, a – b = 5, which is odd
When a = 6 and b = 3, a – b = 3, which is odd
When a = 6 and b = 5, a – b = 1, which is odd
When a = 8 and b = 1, a – b = 7, which is odd
When a = 8 and b = 3, a – b = 5, which is odd
When a = 8 and b = 5, a – b = 3, which is odd
Thus, no set of values of a and b gives a – b as even.
∴ R₁ has a null relation from A to B.
A × B = {(6, 1), (6, 3), (6, 5), (8, 1), (8, 3), (8, 5)}
When a = 6 and b = 1, a + b = 7, which is odd
When a = 6 and b = 3, a + b = 9, which is odd
When a = 6 and b = 5, a + b = 11, which is odd
When a = 8 and b = 1, a + b = 9, which is odd
When a = 8 and b = 3, a + b = 11, which is odd
When a = 8 and b = 5, a + b = 13, which is odd
∴ R₂ = {(6, 1), (6, 3), (6, 5), (8, 1), (8, 3), (8, 5)}
Here, R₂ = A × B
∴ R₂ has a universal relation from A to B.

Question 9.
Identify which of the following relations are reflexive, symmetric, and transitive.

Solution:

(i) Given, R = {(a, b): a, b ∈ Z, a – b is an integer}
Let a ∈ Z, then a – a ∈ Z
∴ (a, a) ∈ R
∴ R is reflexive.
Let (a, b) ∈ R
∴ a – b ∈ Z
∴ -(a – b) ∈ Z, i.e., b – a ∈ Z
∴ (b, a) ∈ R
∴ R is symmetric.
Let (a, b) and (b, c) ∈ R
∴ a – b ∈ Z and b – c ∈ Z
∴ (a – b) + (b – c) ∈ Z
∴ a – c ∈ Z
∴ (a, c) ∈ R
∴ R is transitive.

(ii) Given, R = {(a, b) : a, b ∈ N, a + b is even}
Let a ∈ N, then a + a = 2a, which is even.
∴ (a, a) ∈ R
∴ R is reflexive.
Let (a, b) ∈ R
∴ a + b is even
∴ b + a is even
∴ (b, a) ∈ R
∴ R is symmetric.
Let (a, b) and (b, c) ∈ R
∴ a + b and b + c is even
Let a + b = 2x and b + c = 2y for x, y ∈ N
∴ (a + b) + (b + c) = 2x + 2y
∴ a + 2b + c = 2(x + y)
∴ a + c = 2(x + y) – 2b = 2(x + y – b)
∴ a + c is even ……..[∵ x, y, b ∈ N, x + y – b ∈ N]
∴ (a, c) ∈ R
∴ R is transitive.

(iii) Given, R = {(a, b) : a, b ∈ N, a divides b}
Let a ∈ N, then a divides a.
∴ (a, a) ∈ R
∴ R is reflexive.
Let a = 2 and b = 8, then 2 divides 8
∴ (a, b) ∈ R
But 8 does not divide 2.
∴ (b, a) ∉ R
∴ R is not symmetric.
Let (a, b) and (b, c) ∈ R
∴ a divides b and b divides c.
Let b = ax and c = by for x, y ∈ N.
∴ c = (ax) y = a(xy)
i.e., a divides c.
∴ (a, c) ∈ R
∴ R is transitive.

(iv) Given, R = {(a, b) : a, b ∈ N, a² – 4ab + 3b² = 0}
Let a ∈ N, then a² – 4aa + 3a² = a² – 4a² + 3a² = 0
∴ (a, a) ∈ R
∴ R is reflexive.
Let a = 3 and b = 1,
then a² – 4ab + 3b² = 9 – 12 + 3 = 0
∴ (a, b) ∈ R
Consider, b² – 4ba + 3a² = 1 – 12 + 9 = -2 ≠ 0
∴ (b, a) ∉ R
∴ R is not symmetric.
Let a = 3, b = 1 and c = \(\frac{1}{3}\),
then a² – 4ab + 3b² = 9 – 12 + 3 = 0 and
b² – 4bc + 3c² = 1 – \(\frac{4}{3}\) + \(\frac{1}{3}\) = 1 – 1 = 0
∴ we get (a, b) and (b, c) ∈ R.
Consider, a² – 4ac + 3c² = 9 – 4 + \(\frac{1}{3}\) = \(\frac{16}{3}\) ≠ 0
∴ (a, c) ∉ R
∴ R is not transitive.

(v) Given, R = {(a, b) : a is sister of b and a, b ∈ G = Set of girls}
Let a ∈ G, then ‘a’ cannot be a sister of herself.
∴ (a, a) ∉ R
∴ R is not reflexive.
Let (a, b) ∈ R
∴ ‘a’ is a sister of ‘b’.
∴ ‘b’ is a sister of ‘a’.
∴ (b, c) ∈ R
∴ R is symmetric.
Let (a, b) and (b, c) ∈ R
∴ ‘a’ is a sister of ‘b’ and ‘b’ is a sister of ‘c’
∴ ‘a’ is a sister of ‘c’.
∴ (a, c) ∈ R
∴ R is transitive.

(vi) Given, R = {(a, b) : Line a is perpendicular to line b in a plane}
Let a be any line in the plane, then a cannot be perpendicular to itself.
∴ (a, a) ∉ R
∴ R is not reflexive.
Let (a, b) ∈ R
∴ a is perpendicular to b.
∴ b is perpendicular to a.
∴ (b, a) ∈ R.
∴ R is symmetric.
Let (a, b) and (b, c) ∈ R.
∴ a is perpendicular to b and b is perpendicular to c.
∴ a is parallel to c.
∴ (a, c) ∉ R
∴ R is not transitive.

(vii) Given, R = {(a, b) : a, b ∈ R, a < b}
Let a ∈ R, then a ≮ a.
∴ (a, a) ∉ R
∴ R is not reflexive.
Let a = 1 and b = 2, then 1 < 2
∴ (a, b) ∈ R
But 2 ≮ 1
∴ (b, a) ∉ R
∴ R is not symmetric.
Let (a, b) and (b, c) ∈ R
∴ a < b and b < c
∴ a < c
∴ (a, c) ∈ R
∴ R is transitive.

(viii) Given, R = {(a, b) : a, b ∈ R, a ≤ b³}
Let a = -3, then a³ = -27.
Here, a ≮ a
∴ (a, a) ∉ R
∴ R is not reflexive.
Let a = 2 and b = 9, then b³ = 729
Here, a < b³
∴ (a, b) ∈ R
Consider, a3 = 8
Here, b ≮ a³
∴ (b, a) ∉ R
∴ R is not symmetric.
Let a = 10, b = 3, c = 2,
then b³ = 27 and c³ = 8
Here, a < b³ and b < c³.
∴ (a, b) and (b, c) ∈ R
But a ≮ c³
∴ (a, c) ∉ R.
∴ R is not transitive.

(3x + 5) (2x – 3) = 0
3x + 5 = 0 or 2x – 3 = 0
x = \(\frac{-5}{3}\) or x = \(\frac{3}{2}\)

(ii) A ∩ B ∩ C = { }

Question 4.
If A, B, C are the sets for the letters in the words ‘college’, ‘marriage’ and ‘luggage’ respectively, then verify that [A – (B ∪ C)] = [(A – B) ∩ (A – C)].
Solution:
A = {c, o, l, g, e}
B = {m, a, r, i, g, e}
C = {l, u, g, a, e}
B ∪ C = {m, a, r, i, g, e, l, u}
A – (B ∪ C) = {c, o}
A – B = {c, o, l}
A – C = {c, o}
∴ [(A – B) ∩ (A – C)] = {c, o} = A – (B ∪ C)
∴ [A -( B ∪ C)] = [(A – B) ∩ (A – C)]

X = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}

∴ A ∪ (B ∩ C) = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} …..(i)
A ∪ B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
A ∪ C = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}
∴ (A ∪ B) ∩ (A ∪ C) = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} …….(ii)
From (i) and (ii), we get
A ∪ (B ∩ C) = (A ∪ B) ∩ (A ∪ C)

A ∩ (B ∪ C) = (A ∩ B) ∪ (A ∩ C)

(iii) A ∪ B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
∴ (A ∪ B)’ = {7, 8, 9, 10} ………(i)
A’ = {5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10},
B’ = {1, 2, 7, 8, 9,10}
∴ A’ ∩ B’ = {7, 8, 9, 10} …….(ii)

A’ = {5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}
B’ = {1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 10}
∴ A’ ∪ B’ = {1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10} …….(ii)
From (i) and (ii), we get
(A ∩ B)’ = A’ ∪ B’

A ∩ B = {3, 4}
B’ = {1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 10}
A ∩ B’ = {1, 2}
∴ (A ∩ B) ∪ (A ∩ B’) = {1, 2, 3, 4} …..(ii)
From (i) and (ii), we get
A = (A ∩ B) ∪ (A ∩ B’)

(vi) B = {3, 4, 5, 6} …..(i)
A ∩ B = {3, 4}
A’ = {5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}
A’ ∩ B = {5, 6}
∴ (A ∩ B) ∪ (A’ ∩ B) = {3, 4, 5, 6} …..(ii)
From (i) and (ii), we get
B = (A ∩ B) ∪ (A’ ∩ B)

(vii) A ∪ B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} …….(i)
A – B = {1, 2}
A ∩ B = {3, 4}
B – A = {5, 6}
∴ (A – B) ∪ (A ∩ B) ∪ (B – A) = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} ……(ii)
From (i) and (ii), we get
A ∪ B = (A – B) ∪ (A ∩ B) ∪ (B – A)

(viii) B – C = {3}
C – B = {7, 8}
B Δ C = (B – C) ∪ (C – B) = {3, 7, 8}
∴ A ∩ (B Δ C) = {3} ……(i)
A ∩ B = {3, 4}
A ∩ C = {4}
∴ (A ∩ B) Δ (A ∩ C) = [(A ∩ B) – (A ∩ C)] ∪ [(A ∩ C) – (A ∩ B)] = {3} …..(ii)
From (i) and (ii), we get
A ∩ (B Δ C) = (A ∩ B) Δ (A ∩ C)

(ix) A = {1, 2, 3, 4}, B = {3, 4, 5, 6}
A ∩ B = {3, 4}, A ∪ B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
∴ n(A) = 4, n(B) = 4,
n(A ∩ B) = 2, n(A ∪ B) = 6 ……(i)
∴ n(A) + n(B) – n(A ∩ B) = 4 + 4 – 2
∴ n(A) + n(B) – n(A ∩ B) = 6 …..(ii)
From (i) and (ii), we get

n(B) = n(A’ ∩ B) + n (A ∩ B)

Question 6.
If A and B are subsets of the universal set X and n(X) = 50, n(A) = 35, n(B) = 20, n(A’ ∩ B’) = 5, find
(i) n(A ∪ B)
(ii) n(A ∩ B)
(iii) n(A’ ∩ B)
(iv) n(A ∩ B’)
Solution:
n(X) = 50, n(A) = 35, n(B) = 20, n(A’ ∩ B’) = 5
(i) n(A ∪ B) = n(X) – [n(A ∪ B)’]
= n(X) – n(A’ ∩ B’)
= 50 – 5
= 45

(ii) n(A ∩ B) = n(A) + n(B) – n(A ∪ B)
= 35 + 20 – 45
= 10

(iii) n(A’ ∩ B) = n(B) – n(A ∩ B)
= 20 – 10
= 10

(iv) n(A ∩ B’) = n(A) – n(A ∩ B)
= 35 – 10
= 25

Question 7.
In a class of 200 students who appeared in certain examinations, 35 students faded in CET, 40 in NEET and 40 in JEE, 20 faded in CET and NEET, 17 in NEET and JEE, 15 in CET and JEE and 5 faded in ad three examinations. Find how many students
(i) did not fail in any examination.
(ii) faded in NEET or JEE entrance.
Solution:
Let A = set of students who failed in CET
B = set of students who failed in NEET
C = set of students who failed in JEE
X = set of all students
∴ n(X) = 200, n(A) = 35, n(B) = 40, n(C) = 40, n(A ∩ B) = 20, n(B ∩ C) = 17, n(A ∩ C) = 15, n(A ∩ B ∩ C) = 5

(i) n(A ∪ B ∪ C) = n(A) + n(B) + n(C) – n(A ∩ B) – n(B ∩ C) – n(A ∩ C) + n(A ∩ B ∩ C)
= 35 + 40 + 40 – 20 – 17 – 15 + 5
= 68
∴ No. of students who did not fail in any exam = n(X) – n(A ∪ B ∪ C)
= 200 – 68
= 132

(ii) No. of students who failed in NEET or JEE entrance = n(B ∪ C)
= n(B) + n(C) – n(B ∩ C)
= 40 + 40 – 17
= 63

Question 8.
From amongst 2000 Uterate individuals of a town, 70% read Marathi newspapers, 50% read English newspapers and 32.5% read both Marathi and English newspapers. Find the number of individuals who read
(i) at least one of the newspapers.
(ii) neither Marathi nor English newspaper.
(iii) only one of the newspapers.
Solution:
Let M = set of individuals who read Marathi newspapers
E = set of individuals who read English newspapers
X = set of all literate individuals
∴ n(X) = 2000,
n(M) = \(\frac{70}{100}\) × 2000 = 1400
n(E) = \(\frac{50}{100}\) × 2000 = 1000
n(M ∩ E) = \(\frac{32.5}{100}\) × 2000 = 650
(i) n(M ∪ E) = n(M) + n(E) – n(M ∩ E)
= 1400 + 1000 – 650
= 1750

No. of individuals who read at least one of the newspapers = n(M ∪ E) = 1750.

(ii) No. of individuals who read neither Marathi nor English newspaper = n(M’ ∩ E’)
= n(M ∪ E)’
= n(X) – n(M ∪ E)
= 2000 – 1750
= 250

(iii) No. of individuals who read only one of the newspapers = n(M ∩ E’) + n(M’ ∩ E)
= n(M ∪ E) – n(M ∩ E)
= 1750 – 650
= 1100

Question 9.
In a hostel, 25 students take tea, 20 students take coffee, 15 students take milk, 10 students take both tea and coffee, 8 students take both milk and coffee. None of them take tea and milk both and everyone takes atleast one beverage, find the total number of students in the hostel.
Solution:
Let T = set of students who take tea
C = set of students who take coffee
M = set of students who take milk
∴ n(T) = 25, n(C) = 20, n(M) = 15, n(T ∩ C) = 10, n(M ∩ C) = 8, n(T ∩ M) = 0, n(T ∩ M ∩ C) = 0

∴ Total number of students in the hostel = n(T ∪ C ∪ M)
= n(T) + n(C) + n(M) – n(T ∩ C) – n(M ∩ C) – n(T ∩ M) + n(T ∩ M ∩ C)
= 25 + 20 + 15 – 10 – 8 – 0 + 0
= 42

Question 10.
There are 260 persons with skin disorders. If 150 had been exposed to the chemical A, 74 to the chemical B, and 36 to both chemicals A and B, find the number of persons exposed to
(i) Chemical A but not Chemical B
(ii) Chemical B but not Chemical A
(iii) Chemical A or Chemical B
Solution:
Let A = set of persons exposed to chemical A
B = set of persons exposed to chemical B
X = set of all persons
∴ n(X) = 260, n(A) = 150, n(B) = 74, n(A ∩ B) = 36

(i) No. of persons exposed to chemical A but not to chemical B = n(A ∩ B’)
= n(A) – n(A ∩ B)
= 150 – 36
= 114

(ii) No. of persons exposed to chemical B but not to chemical A = n(A’ ∩ B)
= n(B) – n(A ∩ B)
= 74 – 36
= 38

(iii) No. of persons exposed to chemical A or chemical B = n(A ∪ B)
= n(A) + n(B) – n(A ∩ B)
= 150 + 74 – 36
= 188

(i) (-3, 0)
(ii) [6, 12]
(iii) (6, ∞)
(iv) (-∞, 5]
(v) (2, 5]
(vi) [-3, 4)
Solution:
(i) (-3, 0) = {x / x ∈ R, -3 < x < 0}

(ii) [6, 12] = {x / x ∈ R, 6 ≤ x ≤ 12}

(iii) (6, ∞) = {x / x ∈ R, x > 6}

(iv) (-∞, 5] = {x / x ∈ R, x ≤ 5}

(v) (2, 5] = {x / x ∈ R, 2 < x ≤ 5}

(vi) [-3, 4) = {x / x ∈ R, -3 ≤ x < 4}

Question 13.
A college awarded 38 medals in volleyball, 15 in football, and 20 in basketball. The medals were awarded to a total of 58 players and only 3 players got medals in all three sports. How many received medals in exactly two of the three sports?
Solution:
Let A = Set of students who received medals in volleyball
B = Set of students who received medals in football
C = Set of students who received medals in basketball
n(A) = 38, n(B) = 15, n(C) = 20, n(A ∪ B ∪ C) = 58, n(A ∩ B ∩ C) = 3
n(A ∪ B ∪ C) = n(A) + n(B) + n(C) – n(A ∩ B) – n(B ∩ C) – n(A ∩ C) + n(A ∩ B ∩ C)
58 = 38 + 15 + 20 – n(A ∩ B) – n(B ∩ C) – n(A ∩ C) + 3
∴ n(A ∩ B) + n(B ∩ C) + n(A ∩ C) = 18 ……(i)
Number of players who got exactly two medals = p + q + r
Here, s = n(A ∩ B ∩ C) = 3

n(A ∩ B) + n(B ∩ C) + n(A ∩ C) = 18 …..[From (i)]
∴ p + s + s + r + q + s = 18
∴ p + q + r + 3s = 18
∴ p + q + r + 3(3) = 18
∴ p + q + r = 18 – 9 = 9
∴ Number of players who received exactly two medals = 9.

Question 14.
Solve the following inequalities and write the solution set using interval notation.
(i) -9 < 2x + 7 ≤ 19
(ii) x² – x > 20
(iii) \(\frac{2 x}{x-4}\) ≤ 5
(iv) 6x² + 1 ≤ 5x
Solution:
(i) -9 < 2x + 7 ≤ 19
∴ -16 < 2x ≤ 12
∴ -8< x ≤ 6
∴ x ∈ (-8, 6]

(ii) x² – x > 20
∴ x² – x – 20 > 0
∴ x² – 5x + 4x – 20 > 0
∴ (x – 5) (x + 4) > 0
∴ either x – 5 > 0 and x + 4 > 0 or x – 5 < 0 and x + 4 < 0

Case I: x – 5 > 0 and x + 4 > 0
∴ x > 5 and x > -4
∴ x > 5 ….(i)

Case II:
x – 5 < 0 and x + 4 < 0
∴ x < 5 and x < -4
∴ x < -4 …..(ii)
From (i) and (ii), we get
x ∈ (-∞, – 4) ∪ (5, ∞)

(iii) \(\frac{2 x}{x-4}\) ≤ 5
∴ \(\frac{2 x}{x-4}\) – 5 ≤ 0
∴ \(\frac{2 x-5 x+20}{x-4}\) ≤ 0
∴ \(\frac{20-3 x}{x-4}\) ≤ 0
When \(\frac{a}{b}\) ≤ 0,
a ≥ 0 and b < 0 or a ≤ 0 and b > 0
∴ either 20 – 3x ≥ 0 and x – 4 < 0 or 20 – 3x ≤ 0 and x – 4 > 0
Case I:
20 – 3x ≥ 0 and x – 4 < 0
∴ x ≤ \(\frac{20}{3}\) and x < 4
∴ x < 4 ……(I)

Case II: 20 – 3x ≤ 0 and x – 4 > 0
∴ x ≥ \(\frac{20}{3}\) and x > 4
∴ x ≥ \(\frac{20}{3}\) ……(ii)
From (i) and (ii), we get
x ∈ (-∞, 4) ∪ [\(\frac{20}{3}\), ∞)

(iv) 6x² + 1 ≤ 5x
6x² – 5x + 1 ≤ 0
6x² – 3x – 2x + 1 ≤ 0
(3x – 1) (2x – 1) ≤ 0
either 3x – 1 ≤ 0 and 2x – 1 ≥ 0 or 3x – 1 ≥ 0 and 2x – 1 ≤ 0
Case I:
3x – 1 ≤ 0 and 2x – 1 ≥ 0
∴ x ≤ \(\frac{1}{3}\) and x ≥ \(\frac{1}{2}\), which is not possible.

Case II:
3x – 1 ≥ 0 and 2x – 1 ≤ 0
∴ x ≥ \(\frac{1}{3}\) and x ≤ \(\frac{1}{2}\)
∴ x ∈ [\(\frac{1}{3}\), \(\frac{1}{2}\)]

Question 1.
Prove by the method of induction, for all n ∈ N.
(i) 8 + 17 + 26 + ….. + (9n – 1) = \(\frac{n}{2}\) (9n + 7)
Solution:
Let P(n) ≡ 8 + 17 + 26 +…..+(9n – 1) = \(\frac{n}{2}\) (9n + 7), for all n ∈ N.
Step I:
Put n = 1
L.H.S. = 8
R.H.S. = \(\frac{1}{2}\) [9(1) + 7] = 8
∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
∴ P(n) is true for n = 1.

Step II:
Let us assume that P(n) is true for n = k.
∴ 8 + 17 + 26 +…..+ (9k – 1) = \(\frac{k}{2}\) (9k + 7) ……(i)

Step III:
We have to prove that P(n) is true for n = k + 1,
i.e., 8 + 17 + 26 + …… + [9(k + 1) – 1]

∴ P(n) is true for n = k + 1.

Step IV:
From all the steps above, by the principle of mathematical induction, P(n) is true for all n ∈ N.
∴ 8 + 17 + 26 +…..+ (9n – 1) = \(\frac{n}{2}\) (9n + 7) for all n ∈ N.

(ii) 1² + 4² + 7² + …… + (3n – 2)² = \(\frac{n}{2}\) (6n² – 3n – 1)
Solution:
Let P(n) = 1² + 4² + 7² + ….. + (3n – 2)² = \(\frac{n}{2}\) (6n² – 3n – 1), for all n ∈ N.
Step I:
Put n = 1
L.H.S.= 1² = 1
R.H.S.= \(\frac{1}{2}\) [6(1)² – 3(1) – 1] = 1
∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
∴ P(n) is true for n = 1.

Step II:
Let us assume that P(n) is true for n = k.
∴ 1² + 4² + 7² +…..+ (3k – 2)² = \(\frac{k}{2}\) (6k² – 3k – 1) ……(i)

Step III:
We have to prove that P(n) is true for n = k + 1,
i.e., to prove that

∴ P(n) is true for n = k + 1.

Step IV:
From all the steps above, by the principle of mathematical induction, P(n) is true for all n ∈ N.
∴ 1² + 4² + 7² + … + (3n – 2)² = \(\frac{n}{2}\) (6n² – 3n – 1) for all n ∈ N.

(iii) 2 + 3.2 + 4.2² + …… + (n + 1) 2^n-1 = n . 2ⁿ
Solution:
Let P(n) ≡ 2 + 3.2 + 4.2² +…..+ (n + 1) 2^n-1 = n.2ⁿ, for all n ∈ N.
Step I:
Put n = 1
L.H.S. = 2
R.H.S. = 1(2¹) = 2
∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
∴ P(n) is true for n = 1.

Step II:
Let us assume that P(n) is true for n = k.
∴ 2 + 3.2 + 4.2² + ….. + (k + 1) 2^k-1 = k.2^k …..(i)

Step III:
We have to prove that P(n) is true for n = k + 1,
i.e., to prove that
2 + 3.2 + 4.2² +….+ (k + 2) 2^k = (k + 1) 2^k+1

∴ P(n) is true for n = k + 1.

Step IV:
From all the steps above, by the principle of mathematical induction, P(n) is true for all n ∈ N.
∴ 2 + 3.2 + 4.2² +……+ (n + 1) 2^n-1 = n.2ⁿ for all n ∈ N.

(iv) \(\frac{1}{3.4 .5}+\frac{2}{4.5 .6}+\frac{3}{5.6 .7}+\ldots+\frac{n}{(n+2)(n+3)(n+4)}\) = \(\frac{n(n+1)}{6(n+3)(n+4)}\)
Solution:

Question 2.
Given that t_n+1 = 5t_n – 8, t₁ = 3, prove by method of induction that t_n = 5^n-1 + 2.
Solution:
Let the statement P(n) has L.H.S. a recurrence relation t_n+1 = 5t_n – 8, t₁ = 3
and R.H.S. a general statement t_n = 5^n-1 + 2.
Step I:
Put n = 1
L.H.S. = 3
R.H.S. = 5^1-1 + 2 = 1 + 2 = 3
∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
∴ P(n) is true for n = 1.
Put n = 2
L.H.S = t₂ = 5t₁ – 8 = 5(3) – 8 = 7
R.H.S. = t₂ = 5^2-1 + 2 = 5 + 2 = 7
∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
∴ P(n) is tme for n = 2.

Step II:
Let us assume that P(n) is true for n = k.
∴ t_k+1 = 5t_k – 8 and t_k = 5^k-1 + 2

Step III:
We have to prove that P(n) is true for n = k + 1,
i.e., to prove that
t_k+1 = 5^k+1-1 + 2 = 5^k + 2
t_k+1 = 5t_k – 8 and t_k = 5^k-1 + 2 ……[From Step II]
∴ t_k+1 = 5(5^k-1 + 2) – 8 = 5^k + 2
∴ P(n) is true for n = k + 1.

Step IV:
From all the steps above, by the principle of mathematical induction, P(n) is true for all n ∈ N.
∴ t_n = 5^n-1 + 2, for all n ∈ N.

Question 3.
Prove by method of induction
\(\left(\begin{array}{cc}
3 & -4 \\
1 & -1
\end{array}\right)^{n}=\left(\begin{array}{cc}
2 n+1 & -4 n \\
n & -2 n+1
\end{array}\right)\), ∀ n ∈ N.
Solution:


Step IV:
From all the steps above, by the principle of mathematical induction, P(n) is true for all n ∈ N.
∴ \(\left(\begin{array}{cc}
3 & -4 \\
1 & -1
\end{array}\right)^{n}=\left(\begin{array}{cc}
2 n+1 & -4 n \\
n & -2 n+1
\end{array}\right)\), ∀ n ∈ N.

Solution:
Here, a = \(\frac{2 a}{3}\), b = \(\frac{-3}{2 a}\), n = 6.
Now, n is even.
∴ \(\frac{\mathrm{n}+2}{2}=\frac{6+2}{2}=4\)
∴ Middle term is t4, for which r = 3.

∴ The Middle term is -20.

(ii) \(\left(x-\frac{1}{2 y}\right)^{10}\)
Solution:
Here, a = x, b = \(-\frac{1}{2 y}\), n = 10.
Now, n is even.
∴ \(\frac{\mathrm{n}+2}{2}=\frac{10+2}{2}=6\)
∴ Middle term is t6, for which r = 5

(iii) (x² + 2y²)⁷
Solution:
Here, a = x², b = 2y², n = 7.
Now, n is odd.
∴ \(\frac{\mathrm{n}+1}{2}=\frac{7+1}{2}=4, \frac{\mathrm{n}+3}{2}=\frac{7+3}{2}=5\)
∴ Middle terms are t₄ and t₅, for which r = 3 and r = 4 respectively.

Question 1.
Show that C₀ + C₁ + C₂ + ….. + C₈ = 256
Solution:
Since C₀ + C₁ + C₂ + C₃ + ….. + C_n = 2ⁿ
Putting n = 8, we get
C₀ + C₁ + C₂ + ….. + C₈ = 2⁸
∴ C₀ + C₁ + C₂ + ….. + C₈ = 256

Question 2.
Show that C₀ + C₁ + C₂ + …… + C₉ = 512
Solution:
Since C₀ + C₁ + C₂ + C₃ + ….. + C_n = 2ⁿ
Putting n = 9, we get
C₀ + C₁ + C₂ + ….. + C₉ = 2⁹
∴ C₀ + C₁ + C₂ + …… + C₉ = 512

Question 3.
Show that C₁ + C₂ + C₃ + ….. + C₇ = 127
Solution:
Since C₀ + C₁ + C₂ + C₃ + ….. + C_n = 2ⁿ
Putting n = 7, we get
C₀ + C₁ + C₂ + ….. + C₇ = 2⁷
∴ C₀ + C₁ + C₂ +….. + C₇ = 128
But, C₀ = 1
∴ 1 + C₁ + C₂ + ….. + C₇ = 128
∴ C₁ + C₂ + ….. + C₇ = 128 – 1 = 127

Question 4.
Show that C₁ + C₂ + C₃ + ….. + C₆ = 63
Solution:
Since C₀ + C₁ + C₂ + C₃ + ….. + C_n = 2ⁿ
Putting n = 6, we get
C₀ + C₁ + C₂ + ….. + C₆ = 2⁶
∴ C₀ + C₁ + C₂ + …… + C₆ = 64
But, C₀ = 1
∴ 1 + C₁ + C₂ + ….. + C₆ = 64
∴ C₁ + C₂ + ….. + C₆ = 64 – 1 = 63

Question 5.
Show that C₀ + C₂ + C₄ + C₆ + C₈ = C₁ + C₃ + C₅ + C₇ = 128
Solution:
Since C₀ + C₁ + C₂ + C₃ + …… + C_n = 2ⁿ
Putting n = 8, we get
C₀ + C₁ + C₂ + C₃ + …… + C₈ = 2⁸
But, sum of even coefficients = sum of odd coefficients
∴ C₀ + C₂ + C₄ + C₆ + C₈ = C₁ + C₃ + C₅ + C₇
Let C₀ + C₂ + C₄ + C₆ + C₈ = C₁ + C₃ + C₅ + C₇ = k
Now, C₀ + C₁ + C₂ + C₃ + C₄ + C₅ + C₆ + C₇ + C₈ = 256
∴ (C₀ + C₂ + C₄ + C₆ + C₈) + (C₁ + C₃ + C₅ + C₇) = 256

11th Maths Part 2 Methods of Induction and Binomial Theorem Exercise 4.1 Questions And Answers Maharashtra Board

Prove by the method of induction, for all n ∈ N.

Question 1.
2 + 4 + 6 + …… + 2n = n(n + 1)
Solution:
Let P(n) = 2 + 4 + 6 + …… + 2n = n(n + 1), for all n ∈ N.
Step I:
Put n = 1
L.H.S. = 2
R.H.S. = 1(1 + 1) = 2
∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
∴ P(n) is true for n = 1.

Step II:
Let us assume that P(n) is true for n = k.
∴ 2 + 4 + 6 + ….. + 2k = k(k + 1) ……(i)

Step III:
We have to prove that P(n) is true for n = k + 1,
i.e., to prove that
2 + 4 + 6 + …… + 2(k + 1) = (k + 1) (k + 2)
L.H.S. = 2 + 4 + 6 + …+ 2(k + 1)
= 2 + 4 + 6+ ….. + 2k + 2(k + 1)
= k(k + 1) + 2(k + 1) …..[From (i)]
= (k + 1).(k + 2)
= R.H.S.
∴ P(n) is true for n = k + 1.

Step IV:
From all the steps above, by the principle of mathematical induction, P(n) is true for all n ∈ N.
∴ 2 + 4 + 6 + …… + 2n = n(n + 1) for all n ∈ N.

Question 2.
3 + 7 + 11 + ……… to n terms = n(2n + 1)
Solution:
Let P(n) = 3 + 7 + 11 + ……… to n terms = n(2n +1), for all n ∈ N.
But 3, 7, 11, …. are in A.P.
∴ a = 3 and d = 4
Let t_n be the nth term.
∴ t_n = a + (n – 1)d = 3 + (n – 1)4 = 4n – 1
∴ P(n) = 3 + 7 + 11 + ……. + (4n – 1) = n(2n + 1)

Step I:
Put n = 1
L.H.S. = 3
R.H.S. = 1[2(1)+ 1] = 3
∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
∴ P(n) is true for n = 1.

Step II:
Let us assume that P(n) is true for n = k.
∴ 3 + 7 + 11 + ….. + (4k – 1) = k(2k + 1) …..(i)

Sept III:
We have to prove that P(n) is true for n = k + 1,
i.e., to prove that
3 + 7 + 11 + …+ [4(k + 1) – 1] = (k + 1)(2k + 3)
L.H.S. = 3 + 7 + 11 + …… + [4(k + 1) – 1]
= 3 + 7 + 11 + ….. + (4k – 1) + [4(k+ 1) – 1]
= k(2k + 1) + (4k + 4 – 1) …..[From (i)]
= 2k² + k + 4k + 3
= 2k² + 2k + 3k + 3
= 2k(k + 1) + 3(k + 1)
= (k + 1) (2k + 3)
= R.H.S.
∴ P(n) is true for n = k + 1.

Step IV:
From all the steps above, by the principle of mathematical induction, P(n) is true for all n ∈ N.
∴ 3 + 7 + 11 + ….. to n terms = n(2n + 1) for all n ∈ N.

Question 3.
1² + 2² + 3² +…..+ n² = \(\frac{n(n+1)(2 n+1)}{6}\)
Solution:
Let P(n) = 1² + 2² + 3² +…..+ n² = \(\frac{n(n+1)(2 n+1)}{6}\) for all n ∈ N.
Step I:
Put n = 1
L.H.S. = 1² = 1
RHS = \(\frac{1(1+1)[2(1)+1]}{6}=\frac{6}{6}\) = 1
∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.

= 2^3k+3 – 1
= 2^3k . (2³) – 1
= (7a + 1)8 – 1 …..[From (i)]
= 56a + 8 – 1

= 2^4k . 2⁴ – 1
= 16 . (2^4k) – 1
= 16(15a + 1) – 1 …..[From (i)]
= 240a + 16 – 1

3^(k+1) – 2(k + 1) – 1 = 4b, where b ∈ N
P(k + 1) = 3^k+1 – 2(k + 1) – 1
= 3^k . 3 – 2k – 2 – 1

L.H.S. = (cos θ + i sin θ)^k+1
= (cos θ + i sin θ)^k . (cos θ + i sin θ)
= (cos kθ + i sin kθ) . (cos θ + i sin θ) ……[From (i)]
= cos kθ cos θ + i sin θ cos kθ + i sin kθ cosθ – sin kθ sin θ ……[∵ i² = -1]
= (cos kθ cos θ – sin k θ sin θ) + i(sin kθ cos θ + cos kθ sin θ)

Question 2.
How many words can be formed by writing letters in the word CROWN in a different order?
Solution:
Five Letters of the word CROWN are to be permuted.
∴ Number of different words = 5! = 120

Question 3.
Find the number of words that can be formed by using all the letters in the word REMAIN. If these words are written in dictionary order, what will be the 40th word?
Solution:
There are 6 letters A, E, I, M, N, R.
Number of words that can be formed by using all these letters = 6! = 720
When a word starts with ‘A’,
‘A’ can be arranged in 1 way and the remaining 5 letters can be arranged among themselves in 5! ways.
The number of words starting with A = 5!
∴ Similarly,
The number of words starting with E = 5!
The number of words starting with I = 5!
The number of words starting with M = 5!
The number of words starting with N = 5!
The number of words starting with R = 5!
Total number of words = 6 × 5! = 720
Number of words starting with AE = 4! = 24
Number of words starting with AIE = 3! = 6
Number of words starting with AIM = 3! = 6
Number of words starting with AINE = 2!
Total words = 24 + 6 + 6 + 2 = 38
39th word is AINMER
40th word is AINMRE

Question 4.
The Capital English alphabet has 11 symmetric letters that appear the same when looked at in a mirror. These letters are A, H, I, M, O, T, U, V, W, X, and Y. How many symmetric three letters passwords can be formed using these letters?

= 11 × 10 × 9
= 990

Question 5.
How many numbers formed using the digits 3, 2, 0, 4, 3, 2, 3 exceed one million?
Solution:
A number that exceeds one million is to be formed from the digits 3, 2, 0, 4, 3, 2, 3.
Then the numbers should be any number of 7 digits which can be formed from these digits.
Also, among the given numbers 2 is repeated twice and 3 is repeated thrice.
∴ Required number of numbers = Total number of arrangements possible among these digits – number of arrangements of 7 digits which begin with 0.
= \(\frac{7 !}{2 ! 3 !}-\frac{6 !}{2 ! 3 !}\)
= \(\frac{7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 !}{2 \times 3 !}-\frac{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 !}{2 \times 3 !}\)
= 7 × 6 × 5 × 2 – 6 × 5 × 2
= 6 × 5 × 2(7 – 1)
= 60 × 6
= 360

Question 6.

Which can be done in ²⁶C₁₀
= \(\frac{26 !}{10 !(26-10) !}\)
= \(\frac{26 \times 25 \times 24 \times 23 \times 22 \times 21 \times 20 \times 19 \times 18 \times 17 \times 16 !}{10 ! \times 16 !}\)
= 5311735 ways.
∴ Required number of selections = ²⁶C₆ + ²⁶C₁₀
= 230230 + 5311735
= 5541965

Now there are 23 objects left out of which we can select 10 objects for the second group in ²³C₁₀ ways.
Remaining 13 objects can be selected for the third group in ⁵C₅ ways.
∴ Required number of ways = ³⁰C₇ × ²³C₁₀ × ¹³C₁₃
= \(\frac{30 !}{23 ! 7 !} \times \frac{23 !}{10 ! 13 !} \times 1\)
= \(\frac{30 !}{7 ! 10 ! 13 !}\)

Question 9.
A student passes an examination if he secures a minimum in each of the 7 subjects. Find the number of ways a student can fail.
Solution:
Every subject a student may pass or fail.

Let the telephone number be 45abcd.
There are 8 digits left for the choice of a, b, c, d as repetition is not allowed.
Consider the following table:

∴ Required number of numbers formed = 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 = 1680

Question 14.
A question paper has 6 questions. How many ways does a student have to answer if he wants to solve at least one question?
Solution:
Every question is ‘SOLVED’ or ‘NOT SOLVED’.
There are 6 questions.
Number of outcomes = 2⁶
This number includes one case when the student solves NONE of the questions.
∴ Required number of ways = 2⁶ – 1 = 64 – 1 = 63

Question 15.
Find the number of ways of dividing 20 objects into three groups of sizes 8, 7, and 5.
Solution:
First we can select 8 objects our of 20 for the first group in ²⁰C₈ ways.
Now there are 12 objects left out of which we can select 7 objects for the second group in ¹²C₇ ways.
Remaining 5 objects can be selected for the third group in ⁵C₅ ways.
∴ Required number of ways = ²⁰C₈ × ¹²C₇ × ⁵C₅
= \(\frac{20 !}{8 ! 12 !} \times \frac{12 !}{7 ! 5 !} \times 1\)
= \(\frac{20 !}{8 ! 7 ! 5 !}\)

Question 16.
There are 4 doctors and 8 lawyers in a panel. Find the number of ways for selecting a team of 6 if at least one doctor must be in the team.
Solution:
There are 4 doctors and 8 lawyers in a panel.
A team of 6 with at least one doctor is to be formed.
We count the number by the INDIRECT method of counting.
Number of ways to select a team of 6 people = ¹²C₆
Number of teams with No doctor in any team = ⁸C₆
∴ Required number of ways = ¹²C₆ – ⁸C₆
= 924 – 28
= 896

Question 17.
Four parallel lines intersect another set of five parallel lines. Find the number of distinct parallelograms formed.
Solution:
The first set has 4 parallel lines and another set has 5 parallel lines.
To form a parallelogram, we need 2 lines from each set.
∴ Required number of distinct parallelograms formed = ⁴C₂ × ⁵C₂
= 6 × 10
= 60

Question 18.
There are 12 distinct points A, B, C, …, L, in order, on a circle. Lines are drawn passing through each pair of points.
(i) How many lines are there in total?
(ii) How many lines pass through D?
(iii) How many triangles are determined by lines?
(iv) How many triangles have on vertex C?
Solution:
(i) We need two points to draw a line.
∴ Total number of lines = ¹²C₂ = 66

(ii) Lines are drawn passing through each pair of points.
∴ Lines from point D will pass through all the remaining 11 points.
∴ 11 lines pass through D.

(iii) We need three points to draw a triangle.
∴ Number of triangles = ¹²C₃ = 220

(iv) To get the triangles with one vertex as C,
we need two vertices from the remaining 11 vertices.
∴ Number of triangles with vertex at C = ¹¹C₂
= \(\frac{11 \times 10}{2}\)
= 55

Solution:
There are 6 boys and 4 girls.
A team of 3 boys and 2 girls is to be selected.
∴ 3 boys can be selected from 6 boys in ⁶C₃ ways.
2 girls can be selected from 4 girls in ⁴C₂ ways.
∴ Number of ways the team can be selected

Question 9.
After a meeting, every participant shakes hands with every other participants. If the number of handshakes is 66, find the number of participants in the meeting.
Solution:
Let there be n participants present in the meeting.
A handshake occurs between 2 persons.
∴ Number of handshakes = ⁿC₂
Given 66 handshakes were exchanged.
66 = ⁿC₂
66 = \(\frac{\mathrm{n} !}{2 !(\mathrm{n}-2) !}\)
66 × 2 = \(\frac{n(n-1)(n-2) !}{(n-2) !}\)
132 = n (n – 1)
n(n – 1) = 12 × 11
Comparing on both sides, we get n = 12
∴ 12 participants were present at the meeting.

Question 10.
If 20 points are marked on a circle, how many chords can be drawn?
Solution:
To draw a chord we need to join two points on the circle.
There are 20 points on a circle.
∴ Total number of chords possible from these points

Question 11.
Find the number of diagonals of an n-sided polygon. In particular, find the number of diagonals when
(i) n = 10
(ii) n = 15
(iii) n = 12
(iv) n = 8
Solution:
In n-sided polygon, there are ‘n’ points and ‘n’ sides.
∴ Through ‘n’ points we can draw ⁿC₂ lines including sides.
∴ Number of diagonals in n sided polygon = ⁿC₂ – n (n = number of sides)

Question 12.
There are 20 straight lines in a plane so that no two lines are parallel and no three lines are concurrent. Determine the number of points of intersection.
Solution:
There are 20 lines such that no two of them are parallel and no three of them are concurrent.
Since no two lines are parallel, they intersect at a point.
∴ Number of points of intersection if no two lines are parallel and no three lines are concurrent = ²⁰C₂
= \(\frac{20 !}{2 ! 18 !}\)
= \(\frac{20 \times 19 \times 18 !}{2 \times 1 \times 18 !}\)
= 190

Question 13.
Ten points are plotted on a plane. Find the number of straight lines obtained by joining these points if (a) no three points are collinear (b) four points are collinear
Solution:
There are 10 points on a plane.
(a) When no three of them are collinear.
A line is obtained by joining 2 points.
∴ Number of lines passing through these points = ¹⁰C₂
= \(\frac{10 !}{2 ! 8 !}\)
= \(\frac{10 \times 9 \times 8 !}{2 \times 1 \times 8 !}\)
= 5 × 9
= 45

(b) When 4 of them are collinear.
If no three points are collinear, we get a total of ¹⁰C₂ = 45 lines by joining them. …..[From (i)]
Since 4 points are collinear, only one line passes through these points instead of ⁴C₂ lines.
∴ ⁴C₂ – 1 extra lines are included in 45 lines.
Number of lines passing through these points
= 45 – (⁴C₂ – 1)
= 45 – \(\frac{4 !}{2 ! 2 !}\) + 1
= 45 – \(\frac{4 \times 3 \times 2 !}{2 \times 2 !}\) + 1
= 45 – 6 + 1
= 40

Question 14.
Find the number of triangles formed by joining 12 points if
(a) no three points are collinear
(b) four points are collinear
Solution:
There are 12 points on the plane.
(a) When no three of them are collinear.
A triangle can be drawn by joining any three non-collinear points.
∴ Number of triangles that can be obtained from these points = ¹²C₃
= \(\frac{12 !}{3 ! 9 !}\)
= \(\frac{12 \times 11 \times 10 \times 9 !}{3 \times 2 \times 1 \times 9 !}\)
= 220

(b) When 4 of these points are collinear.
If no three points are collinear, total we get ¹²C₃ = 220 triangles by joining them. ……[From (i)]
Since 4 points are collinear, no triangle can be formed by joining these four points.
∴ ⁴C₃ extra triangles are included in 220 triangles.
∴ Number of triangles that can be obtained from these points = ¹²C₃ – ⁴C₃
= 220 – \(\frac{4 !}{3 ! \times 1 !}\)
= 220 – \(\frac{4 \times 3 !}{3 !}\)
= 220 – 4
= 216

Question 15.
A word has 8 consonants and 3 vowels. How many distinct words can be formed if 4 consonants and 2 vowels are chosen?
Solution:
There are 8 consonants and 3 vowels.
From 8 consonants, 4 can be selected in ⁸C₄
= \(\frac{8 !}{4 ! 4 !}\)
= \(\frac{8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 !}{4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1 \times 4 !}\)
= 70 ways.
From 3 vowels, 2 can be selected in ³C₂
= \(\frac{3 !}{2 ! 1 !}\)
= \(\frac{3 \times 2 !}{2 !}\)
= 3 ways.
Now, to form a word, these 6 ietters (i.e., 4 consonants and 2 vowels) can be arranged in ⁶P₆ = 6! ways.
∴ Total number of words that can be formed = 70 × 3 × 6!
= 70 × 3 × 720
= 151200
∴ 151200 words of 4 consonants and 2 vowels can be formed.

Question 16.
Find n if,
(i) ⁿC₈ = ⁿC₁₂
Solution:
ⁿC₈ = ⁿC₁₂
If ⁿC_x = ⁿC_y, then either x = y or x = n – y
∴ 8 = 12 or 8 = n – 12
But 8 = 12 is not possible
∴ 8 = n – 12
∴ n = 20

(ii) ²³C_3n = ²³C_2n+3
Solution:
²³C_3n = ²³C_2n+3
If ⁿC_x = ⁿC_y, then either x = y or x = n – y
∴ 3n = 2n + 3 or 3n = 23 – 2n – 3
∴ n = 3 or n = 4

(iii) ²¹C_6n = \({ }^{21} \mathrm{C}_{\left(\mathrm{n}^{2}+5\right)}\)
Solution:
²¹C_6n = \({ }^{21} \mathrm{C}_{\left(\mathrm{n}^{2}+5\right)}\)
If ⁿC_x = ⁿC_y, then either x = y or x = n – y
∴ 6n = n² + 5 or 6n = 21 – (n² + 5)
∴ n² – 6n + 5 = 0 or 6n = 21 – n² – 5
∴ n² – 6n + 5 = 0 or n² + 6n – 16 = 0
If n² – 6n + 5 = 0, then (n – 1)(n – 5) = 0
∴ n = 1 or n = 5
If n = 5 then
n² + 5 = 30 > 21
∴ n ≠ 5
∴ n = 1
If n² + 6n – 16 = 0, then (n + 8)(n – 2) = 0
n = -8 or n = 2
n ≠ -8
∴ n = 2
∴ n = 1 or n = 2

Check:
n = 2
∴ n² + 5 = 2² + 5 = 9
²¹C_6n = ²¹C₁₂
and \({ }^{21} \mathrm{C}_{\left(\mathrm{n}^{2}+5\right)}\) = ²¹C₉
∴ ⁿC_r = ⁿC_n-r
∴ ²¹C₁₂ = ²¹C₉
∴ n = 2 is a right answer.

(iv) ²ⁿC_r-1 = ²ⁿC_r+1
Solution:
²ⁿC_r-1 = ²ⁿC_r+1
If ⁿC_x = ⁿC_y, then either x = y or x = n – y
∴ r – 1 = r + 1 or r – 1 = 2n – (r + 1)
But r – 1 = r + 1 is not possible
∴ r – 1 = 2n – (r + 1)
∴ r + r = 2n
∴ r = n

Check:
²ⁿC_r-1 = ²ⁿC_n-1
and ²ⁿC_r+1 = ²ⁿC_n+1
using ⁿC_r = ⁿC_n-r, we have
²ⁿC_n+1 = ²ⁿC_2n-(n+1) = ²ⁿC_n-1
∴ ²ⁿC_r-1 = ²ⁿC_r+1

(v) ⁿC_n-2 = 15
Solution:
ⁿC_n-2 = 15
∴ ⁿC₂ = 15 …..[∵ ⁿC_r = ⁿC_n-r]
∴ \(\frac{n !}{(n-2) ! 2 !}=15\)
∴ \(\frac{n(n-1)(n-2) !}{(n-2) ! \times 2 \times 1}=15\)
∴ n(n – 1) = 30
∴ n(n – 1) = 6 × 5
Equating both sides, we get
∴ n = 6

Question 17.
Find x if ⁿP_r = x ⁿC_r.
Solution:

Question 18.

Solution:

Question 20.
Find the differences between the greatest values in the following:
(a) ¹⁴C_r and ¹²C_r
Solution:
Greatest value of ¹⁴C_r.
Here, n = 14, which is even.
Greatest value of nCr occurs at r = \(\frac{n}{2}\) if n is even.
∴ r = \(\frac{n}{2}\)
∴ r = \(\frac{14}{2}\) = 7

∴ Difference between the greatest values of ¹⁴C_r and ¹²C_r = ¹⁴C_r – ¹²C_r
= 3432 – 924
= 2508

(b) ¹³C_r and ⁸C_r
Solution:
Greatest value of ¹³C_r.
Here n = 13, which is odd.
Greatest value of nCr occurs at r = \(\frac{n-1}{2}\) if n is odd.
∴ r = \(\frac{\mathrm{n}-1}{2}\)
∴ r = \(\frac{13-1}{2}\) = 6

∴ Difference between the greatest values of ¹³C_r and ⁸C_r = ¹³C_r – ⁸C_r
= 1716 – 70
= 1646

(c) ¹⁵C_r and ¹¹C_r
Solution:
Greatest value of ¹⁵C_r.
Here n = 15, which is odd.
Greatest value of nCr occurs at r = \(\frac{n-1}{2}\) if n is odd.
∴ r = \(\frac{n-1}{2}\)
∴ r = \(\frac{15-1}{2}\) = 7

∴ Difference between the greatest values of ¹⁵C_r and ¹¹C_r = ¹⁵C_r – ¹¹C_r
= 6435 – 462
= 5973

Question 21.
In how many ways can a boy invite his 5 friends to a party so that at least three join the party?
Solution:
Boy can invite = (3 or 4 or 5 friends)
Consider the following table:

∴ Number of ways a boy can invite his friends to a party so that three or more of join the party = 10 + 5 + 1 = 16

Question 22.
A group consists of 9 men and 6 women. A team of 6 is to be selected. How many of possible selections will have at least 3 women?
Solution:
There are 9 men and 6 women.
A team of 6 persons is to be formed such that it consist of at least 3 women.
Consider the following table:

∴ No. of ways this can be done = 1680 + 540 + 54 + 1 = 2275
∴ 2275 teams can be formed if team consists of at least 3 women.

Question 23.
A committee of 10 persons is to be formed from a group of 10 women and 8 men. How many possible committees will have at least 5 women? How many possible committees will have men in majority?
Solution:
(i) A committee of 10 persons is to be formed from 10 women and 8 men such that the committee contains at least 5 women.
Consider the following table:

∴ Number of committees with at least 5 women
= 14112 + 14700 + 6720 + 1260 + 81
= 36873

(ii) Number of committees with men in majority = Total number of committees – (Number of committees with women in majority + women and men equal in number)
= ¹⁸C₁₀ – 36873
= ¹⁸C₈ – 36873
= 43758 – 36873
= 6885

Question 24.
A question paper has two sections. Section I has 5 questions and section II has 6 questions. A student must answer at least two questions from each section among 6 questions he answers. How many different choices does the student have in choosing questions?
Solution:

Consider the following table:

∴ Number of choices = 150 + 200 + 75 = 425
∴ In 425 ways students can select 6 questions, taking at least 2 questions from each section.

Question 25.
There are 3 wicketkeepers and 5 bowlers among 22 cricket players. A team of 11 player is to be selected so that there is exactly one wicketkeeper and at least 4 bowlers in the team. How many different teams can be formed?
Solution:
There are 22 cricket players, of which 3 are wicketkeepers and 5 are bowlers.
A team of 11 players is to be chosen such that exactly one wicket keeper and at least 4 bowlers are to be included in the team.
Consider the following table:

∴ Number of ways a team of 11 players can be selected
= 45045 + 6006
= 51051

Question 26.
Five students are selected from 11. How many ways can these students be selected if
(a) two specified students are selected?
(b) two specified students are not selected?
Solution:
5 students are to be selected from 11 students.
(a) When 2 specified students are included,
then remaining 3 students can be selected from (11 – 2) = 9 students.
∴ Number of ways of selecting 3 students from 9 students = ⁹C₃
= \(\frac{9 !}{3 ! \times 6 !}\)
= \(\frac{9 \times 8 \times 7 \times 6 !}{3 \times 2 \times 1 \times 6 !}\)
= 84
∴ Selection of students is done in 84 ways when 2 specified students are included.

(b) When 2 specified students are not included, then 5 students can be selected from the remaining (11 – 2) = 9 students.
∴ Number of ways of selecting 5 students from 9 students = ⁹C₅
= \(\frac{9 !}{5 ! 4 !}\)
= \(\frac{9 \times 8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5 !}{5 ! \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}\)
= 126
∴ Selection of students is done in 126 ways when 2 specified students are not included.
