HINTS & SOLUTIONS

and 2x4 + ax3 – 6x2 – 4ax – 8

= x2 (2x2 + ax + 2) – 4 (2x2 + ax + 2)
1. Answer (3)
= (x2 – 4) (2x2 + ax + 2)
2. Answer (3)
3. Answer (2) Now (x2 – 4) (2x2 + ax + 2)  0
Given that, aRb  a is brother of b.  x  2 or x  –2
 aRa  a is brother of a, which is not true (as 2x2 + ax + 2  0  x  R)
 R is not reflexive 6. Answer (3)
aRb  a is brother of b 7. Answer (3)
This does not mean b is also brother of a as b can 8. Answer (1)
be a sister of a.
9. Answer (2)
 R is not symmetric
10. Answer (4)
Now, aRb  a is brother of b and bRc
11. Answer (3)
 b is brother of c
5 – 4x – x2  0 ...(i)
 a is brother of c.
 x2 + 4x – 5  0
 R is transitive
4. Answer (3) and x + 4 > 0 ...(ii)

5. Answer (3)  x+4>0

As log1/3 (| a | + 1) > – 1 12. Answer (2)
 |a|+1<3 G.C.D. of a and b is 2 and G.C.D. of b and a is
 |a| < 2 also 2. So, it is a symmetric only.
13. Answer (12.00) R will be transitive if (3, 1); (1, 3)  R. Thus, R

n becomes an equivalence relation by adding (1, 1)
2n  212
(2, 2) (3, 3) (2, 1) (3,2) (1, 3) (3, 1). Hence, the
14. Answer (07.00) total number of ordered pairs is 7.
R is reflexive if it contains (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3) 15. Answer (07.00)
∵ Domain of 6 x  x 2  5 is [1, 5]
 R is symmetric if (2, 1), (3, 2)  R. and domain of log[x] [x] is [2, ∞)
Now, ∴ Domain of f(x) is [2, 5]
∴ The value of a + b = 7
