B’ = {1, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13 }
A’∩B’ = {1,7, 8, 9, 12, 13}
∴ (A∪B)’ =A’ ∩B’

Answer 10.
a. (b) or (c)
b. (a)

Answer 11.
(a) Domain = [-4,4]
Range = [0,4]
(b) x² + y²=16
y²= 16-x²
y= \(\sqrt { 16-{ x }^{ 2 } } \)
i.e.,f (x)= \(\sqrt { 16-{ x }^{ 2 } } \)

Answer 12.
(a) 8
(b) P(n):1 + 3 + 3² + ……..3^n-1 =\(\frac { { 3 }^{ n }-1 }{ 2 } \)
Let P(1): 1 =\(\frac { { 3 }^{ 1 }-1 }{ 2 } \)=2/2=1
Hence, P(1) is true.
P(k): 1 + 3 + 3² +…… + 3^k-1=\(\frac { { 3 }^{ k }-1 }{ 2 } \)
To prove that P(k+1) is true. P(k+1):
1 + 3 +3² + + 3^i_1 +3^k+1-1 =\(\frac { { 3 }^{ k+1 }-1 }{ 2 } \)
⇒ P(k)+3^k = \(\frac { { 3 }^{ k+1 }-1 }{ 2 } \)
⇒ \(\frac { { 3 }^{ k }-1 }{ 2 } \) + 3^k= \(\frac { { 3 }^{ k+1 }-1 }{ 2 } \)
= \(\frac { { 3 }^{ k }-1 }{ 2 } \) + 3^k= \(\frac { { { 3 }^{ k } }-1+2\times { 3 }^{ k } }{ 2 } \)
Now, LHS = \(\frac { { { 3\times 3 }^{ k } }-1 }{ 2 } \) =  \(\frac { { 3 }^{ k+1 }-1 }{ 2 } \) = RHS
Hence, P(k+1) is true.
Hence, P(n) is true for all n∈N

Answer 13.
\(\frac { 2x-1 }{ 3 } \ge \frac { 5(3x-3)-4(2-x) }{ 20 } \)
40x-20 ≥ (15x-10-8+4x)³
40x-20 ≥ -54
40x-57x ≥ -54 + 20
-17x ≥-34
x ≤ 2 ⇒ x∈(-∞, 2)

Answer 14.
(a) t_n= 3+(n-1)² = 2n+1
(b) Let T_n denotes the nth term of the given series.
T_n = (n^lh term of 3, 5, 7……….. )(n^th term of 1², 2², 3²…….. )
= [3+(n-1)²].n² = (2n+1)n² = 2n³ + n²

Answer 15.
Let the equation of the circle be
(x – h)² + (y – k)² = r²
Since the circle passes through (4, 1) and (6,5), we have
(4-h)² + (1 -k)² = r²……….. (1)
and (6 -h)² + (5 – k)² = r²………… (2)
Also since the centre lies on the line 4x + y = 16, we have
4h + k = 16…………. (3)
Solving the equations (1), (2) and (3), we get
h = 3 and k = 4
(4 – 3)² + (1 – 4)² = r²
r²=10
Hence, the equation of the required circle is
(x-3)²+1 (y-4)²= 10
x²-6x + 9 + y²-8y + 16-10 = 0
x² + y² – 6x –  8y + 15 = 0

Answer 16.
(a) 10 [Z coordinate of the point]
(b) Let P(4,0,0) be a line on the X-axis.
distance = \(\sqrt { { (4-4) }^{ 2 }+{ (8-0) }^{ 2 }+{ (10-0) }^{ 2 } } \)
= \(\sqrt { 64+100 } =\sqrt { 164 } =2\sqrt { 41 } \)
(c) Since the line segment divided the YZ plane, its x coordinate is zero.
So =\(\frac { { mx }_{ 1 }+{ nx }_{ 1 } }{ m+n } \)
⇒ mx₂ + nx₁=0
\(\frac { m }{ n } =\frac { { -x }_{ 1 } }{ { x }_{ 2 } } =\frac { -2 }{ 3 } \)
⇒m : n=-2 : 3

Answer 17.
(a) 275 is a perfect square,
(b) Let -√2 is rational.
\(\sqrt { 2 } =\frac { p }{ q } \) , p and q have no common factor.
p² = 2q²
i.e., 2 divides p² is 2 divides p
∴ p = 2k, p² = 4k²
2q² = 4k², q² = 2k²
2 divides q² is 2 divides q.
p and q have a commonfactor 2.

Answer 23.
(a) 12 x (n-1)P₃ = 5 x (n+1)P₃
12 x (n-1 )(n – 2)(n – 3) = 5 x (n+1 )n(n-1)
12n² – 6Qn + 72 – 5n² – 5n = 0
7n²-65n+72 = 0
\(\frac { 65+\sqrt { 4225-2016 } }{ 14 } =\frac { 67647 }{ 14 } \)
\(\frac { 112 }{ 14 } ,\frac { 18 }{ 14 } =8,\frac { 9 }{ 7 } \)
But n cannot be a fraction. n = 8
(b) ⁿP = r! x ⁿC_r   840=r! x 35
r! = 24 ⇒ r = 4
Two different vowels can be selected in ⁵C₂ ways .Two different consonents can be selected in ^2IC₂ Ways.
Total selection 4 letters = ⁵C₂ x ²¹C₂
Total words = 4! x ⁵C₂ x²¹C₂
= 10 x 210 x 24 = 50400
