Question 1.
Check if the following relations are functions.


Solution:
(a) Yes
Reason: Every element of set A has been assigned a unique element in set B.

(b) No
Reason: An element of set A has been assigned more than one element from set B.

(c) No
Reason: Not every element of set A has been assigned an image from set B.

Question 2.
Which sets of ordered pairs represent functions from A = {1, 2, 3, 4} to B = {-1, 0, 1, 2, 3}? Justify.
(i) {(1, 0), (3, 3), (2, -1), (4, 1), (2, 2)}
(ii) {(1, 2), (2, -1), (3, 1), (4, 3)}
(iii) {(1, 3), (4, 1), (2, 2)}
(iv) {(1, 1), (2, 1), (3, 1), (4, 1)}
Solution:
(i) {(1, 0), (3, 3), (2, -1), (4, 1), (2, 2)} does not represent a function.
Reason: (2, -1) and (2, 2) show that element 2 ∈ A has been assigned two images -1 and 2 from set B.

(ii) {(1, 2), (2, -1), (3, 1), (4, 3)} represents a function.
Reason: Every element of set A has a unique image in set B.

(iii) {(1, 3), (4, 1), (2, 2)} does not represent a function.
Reason: 3 ∈ A does not have an image in set B.

(iv) {(1, 1), (2, 1), (3, 1), (4, 1)} represents a function
Reason: Every element of set A has been assigned a unique image in set B.

Question 3.
If f(m) = m² – 3m + 1, find
(i) f(0)
(ii) f(-3)
(iii) f(\(\frac{1}{2}\))
(iv) f(x + 1)
(v) f(-x)
Solution:
f(m) = m² – 3m + 1
(i) f(0) = 0² – 3(0) + 1 = 1

(ii) f(-3) = (-3)² – 3(-3) + 1
= 9 + 9 + 1
= 19

(iii) \(f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2}-3\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)+1\)
= \(\frac{1}{4}-\frac{3}{2}+1\)
= \(\frac{1-6+4}{4}\)
= \(-\frac{1}{4}\)

(iv) f(x + 1) = (x + 1)² – 3(x + 1) + 1
= x² + 2x + 1 – 3x – 3 + 1
= x² – x – 1

(v) f(-x) = (-x)² – 3(-x) + 1 = x² + 3x + 1

Question 4.
Find x, if g(x) = 0 where
(i) g(x) = \(\frac{5 x-6}{7}\)
(ii) g(x) = \(\frac{18-2 x^{2}}{7}\)
(iii) g(x) = 6x² + x – 2
Solution:
(i) g(x) = \(\frac{5 x-6}{7}\)
g(x) = 0
∴ \(\frac{5 x-6}{7}\) = 0
∴ 5x – 6 = 0
∴ x = \(\frac{6}{5}\)

(ii) g(x) = \(\frac{18-2 x^{2}}{7}\)
g(x) = 0
∴ \(\frac{18-2 x^{2}}{7}\) = 0
∴ 18 – 2x² = 0
∴ x² = 9
∴ x = ±3

(iii) g(x) = 6x² + x – 2
g(x) = 0
∴ 6x² + x – 2 = 0
∴ 6x² + 4x – 3x – 2 = 0
∴ 2x(3x + 2) – 1(3x + 2) = 0
∴ (2x – 1)(3x + 2) = 0
∴ 2x – 1 = 0 or 3x + 2 = 0
∴ x = \(\frac{1}{2}\) or x = \(\frac{-2}{3}\)

Question 5.
Find x, if f(x) = g(x) where f(x) = x⁴ + 2x², g(x) = 11x².
Solution:
f(x) = x⁴ + 2x², g(x) = 11x²
f(x) = g(x)
∴ x⁴ + 2x² = 11x²
∴ x⁴ – 9x² = 0
∴ x²(x² – 9) = 0
∴ x² = 0 or x² – 9 = 0
∴ x = 0 or x² = 9
∴ x = 0 or x = ±3

\end{array}\right.\), then fmd
(i) f(-4)
(ii) f(-3)
(iii) f(1)
(iv) f(5)
Solution:
f(x) = 4x – 2, x ≤ -3
= 5, -3 < x < 3
= x², x ≥ 3
(i) f(-4) = 4(-4) – 2 = -16 – 2 = -18
(ii) f(-3) = 4(-3) – 2 = -12 – 2 = -14
(iii) f(1) = 5
(iv) f(5) = 5² = 25

(i) (f + g)(x)
(ii) (f – g)(2)
(iii) (fg)(3)
(iv) \(\left(\frac{\mathbf{f}}{\mathbf{g}}\right)(x)\) and its domain
Solution:
f(x) = 3x + 5, g(x) = 6x – 1
(i) (f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)
= 3x + 5 + 6x – 1
= 9x + 4

(ii) (f – g) (2) = f(2) – g(2)
= [3(2) + 5] – [6(2) – 1]
= 6 + 5 – 12 + 1
= 0

(iii) (fg)(3) = f(3) g(3)
= [3(3) + 5] [6(3) – 1]
= (14) (17)
= 238

(iv) \(\left(\frac{\mathrm{f}}{\mathrm{g}}\right) x=\frac{\mathrm{f}(x)}{\mathrm{g}(x)}=\frac{3 x+5}{6 x-1}, x \neq \frac{1}{6}\)

(iii) fof
(iv) gog
Solution:
f(x) = 2x² + 3, g(x) = 5x – 2
(i) (fog)(x) = f(g(x))
= f(5x – 2)
= 2(5x – 2)² + 3
= 2(25x² – 20x + 4) + 3
= 50x² – 40x + 8 + 3
= 50x² – 40x + 11

(ii) (gof)(x) = g(f(x))
= g(2x² + 3)
= 5(2x² + 3) – 2
= 10x² + 15 – 2

= f(2x² + 3)
= 2(2x² + 3)² + 3
= 2(4x⁴ + 12x² + 9) + 3
= 8x⁴ + 24x² + 18 + 3
= 8x⁴ + 24x² + 21

(iv) (gog)(x) = g(g(x))

(i) {10, 20, 30, 40, 50}
(ii) {a, e, i, o, u}
(iii) {Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday}
Solution:
(i) Let A = {10, 20, 30, 40, 50}
∴ A = {x / x = 10n, n ∈ N and n ≤ 5}

(ii) Let B = {a, e, i, o, u}
∴ B = {x / x is a vowel of English alphabets}

(iii) Let C = {Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday}
∴ C = {x / x represents days of a week}

Question 2.
If U = {x / x ∈ N, 1 ≤ x ≤ 12}, A = {1, 4, 7, 10}, B = {2, 4, 6, 7, 11}, C = {3, 5, 8, 9, 12}.
Write the sets
(i) A ∪ B
(ii) B ∩ C
(iii) A – B
(iv) B – C
(v) A ∪ B ∪ C
(vi) A ∩ (B ∪ C)
Solution:
U = {x / x ∈ N, 1 ≤ x ≤ 12} = {1, 2, 3, …., 12}
A = {1, 4, 7, 10}, B = {2, 4, 6, 7, 11}, C = {3, 5, 8, 9, 12}
(i) A ∪ B = {1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 10, 11}

(ii) B ∩ C = { }

(iii) A – B = {1, 10}

(iv) B – C = {2, 4, 6, 7, 11}

(v) A ∪ B ∪ C = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12}

(vi) B ∪ C = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12}
∴ A ∩ (B ∪ C) = {4, 7}

Question 3.
In a survey of 425 students in a school, it was found that 115 drink apple juice, 160 drink orange juice, and 80 drink both apple as well as orange juice. How many drinks neither apple juice nor orange juice?
Solution:
Let A = set of students who drink apple juice
B = set of students who drink orange juice
X = set of all students
∴ n(X) = 425, n(A) = 115, n(B) = 160, n(A ∩ B) = 80

No. of students who neither drink apple juice nor orange juice
n(A’ ∩ B’) = n(A ∪ B)’
= n(X) – n(A ∪ B)
= 425 – [n(A) + n(B) – n(A ∩ B)]
= 425 – (115 + 160 – 80)
= 230

Question 4.
In a school, there are 20 teachers who teach Mathematics or Physics. of these, 12 teach Mathematics and 4 teach both Physics and Mathematics. How many teachers teach Physics?
Solution:
Let A = set of teachers who teach Mathematics
B = set of teachers who teach Physics
n(A ∪ B) = 20, n(A) = 12, n(A ∩ B) = 4

Since, n(A ∪ B) = n(A) + n(B) – n(A ∩ B)
∴ 20 = 12 + n(B) – 4
∴ n(B) = 12
∴ Number of teachers who teach physics = 12

Question 5.
(i) If A = {1, 2, 3} and B = {2, 4}, state the elements of A × A, A × B, B × A, B × B, (A × B) ∩ (B × A).
(ii) If A = {-1, 1}, find A × A × A.
Solution:
(i) A = {1, 2, 3} and B = {2, 4}
A × A = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3)}
A × B = {(1, 2), (1, 4), (2, 2), (2, 4), (3, 2), (3, 4)}
B × A = {(2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3)}
B × B = {(2, 2), (2, 4), (4, 2), (4, 4)}
(A × B) ∩ (B × A) = {(2, 2)}

(ii) A = {-1, 1}
∴ A × A × A = {(-1, -1, -1), (-1, -1, 1), (-1, 1, -1), (-1, 1, 1), (1, -1, -1), (1, -1, 1), (1, 1, -1),(1, 1, 1)}

Question 6.
If A = {1, 2, 3}, B = {4, 5, 6}, which of the following are relations from A to B.
(i) R₁ = {(1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6)}
(ii) R₂ = {(1, 5), (2, 4), (3, 6)}
(iii) R₃ = {(1, 4), (1, 5), (3, 6), (2, 6), (3, 4)}
(iv) R₄ = {(4, 2), (2, 6), (5, 1), (2, 4)}
Solution:
A = {1, 2, 3}, B = {4, 5, 6}
∴ A × B = {(1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6)}
(i) R₁ = {(1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6)}
Since, R₁ ⊆ A × B
∴ R₁ is a relation from A to B.

(ii) R₂ = {(1, 5), (2, 4), (3, 6)}
Since, R₂ ⊆ A × B
∴ R₂ is a relation from A to B.

(iii) R₃ = {(1, 4), (1, 5), (3, 6), (2, 6), (3, 4)}
Since, R₃ ⊆ A × B
∴ R₃ is a relation from A to B.

(iv) R₄ = {(4,2), (2, 6), (5,1), (2, 4)}
Since, (4, 2) ∈ R₄, but (4, 2) ∉ A × B
∴ R₄ ⊄ A × B
∴ R₄ is not a relation from A to B.

Question 7.
Determine the domain and range of the following relation.
R = {(a, b) / a ∈ N, a < 5, b = 4}
Solution:
R = {(a, b) / a ∈ N, a < 5, b = 4}

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)}

(ii) 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)}

(iii) B ∪ C = {4, 5, 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 andy = 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.
Write the domain and range of the following relations.
(i) {(a, b) / a ∈ N, a < 6 and b = 4}
(ii) {(a, b) / a, b ∈ N, a + b = 12}
(iii) {(2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6), (2, 7)}
Solution:
(i) Let R₁ = {(a, b)/ a ∈ N, a < 6 and b = 4}
Set of values of ‘a’ are domain and set of values of ‘b’ are range.
a ∈ N and a < 6
∴ a = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and b = 4
Domain (R₁) = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
Range (R₁) = {4}

(ii) Let R₂ = {(a, b)/a, b ∈ N and a + b = 12}
Now, a, b ∈ N and a + b = 12
When a = 1, b = 11
When a = 2, b = 10
When a = 3, b = 9
When a = 4, b = 8
When a = 5, b = 7
When a = 6, b = 6
When a = 7, b = 5
When a = 8, b = 4
When a = 9, b = 3
When a = 10, b = 2
When a = 11, b = 1
∴ Domain (R₂) = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11}
Range (R₂) = {11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1}

(iii) Let R₃ = {(2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6), (2, 7)}
Domain (R₃) = {2}
Range (R₃) = {4, 5, 6, 7}

Question 8.
Let A = {6, 8} and B = {1, 3, 5}.
Let R = {(a, b) / a ∈ A, b ∈ B, a – b is an even number}.
Show that R is an empty relation from A to B.
Solution:
A= {6, 8}, B = {1, 3, 5}
R = {(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 even.
∴ R is an empty relation from A to B.

Question 9.
Write the relation in the Roster form and hence find its domain and range.
(i) R₁ = {(a, a²) / a is a prime number less than 15}
(ii) R₂ = {(a, \(\frac{1}{a}\)) / 0 < a ≤ 5, a ∈ N}
Solution:
(i) R₁ = {(a, a²) / a is a prime number less than 15}
∴ a = 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13
∴ a2 = 4, 9, 25, 49, 121, 169
∴ R₁ = {(2, 4), (3, 9), (5, 25), (7, 49), (11, 121), (13, 169)}
∴ Domain (R₁) = {a/a is a prime number less than 15} = {2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13}
Range (R₁) = {a²/a is a prime number less than 15} = {4, 9, 25, 49, 121, 169}

Question 10.
R = {(a, b) / b = a + 1, a ∈ Z, 0 < a < 5}. Find the range of R.
Solution:
R = {(a, b) / b = a + 1, a ∈ Z, 0 < a < 5}
∴ a = 1, 2, 3, 4
∴ b = 2, 3, 4, 5
∴ Range (R) = {2, 3, 4, 5}

Question 11.
Find the following relations as sets of ordered pairs.
(i) {(x, y) / y = 3x, x ∈ {1, 2, 3}, y ∈ {3, 6, 9, 12}}
(ii) {(x,y) / y > x + 1, x ∈ {1, 2} and y ∈ {2, 4, 6}}
(iii) {(x, y) / x + y = 3, x, y ∈ {0, 1, 2, 3}}
Solution:
(i) {(x, y) / y = 3x, x ∈ {1, 2, 3}, y ∈ {3, 6, 9, 12}}
Here y = 3x
When x = 1, y = 3(1) = 3
When x = 2, y = 3(2) = 6
When x = 3, y = 3(3) = 9
∴ Ordered pairs are {(1, 3), (2, 6), (3, 9)}

(ii) {(x, y) / y > x + 1, x ∈ {1, 2} and y ∈ {2, 4, 6}}
Here, y > x + 1
When x = 1 and y = 2, 2 ≯ 1 + 1
When x = 1 and y = 4, 4 > 1 + 1
When x = 1 and y = 6, 6 > 1 + 1
When x = 2 and y = 2, 2 ≯ 2 + 1
When x = 2 and y = 4, 4 > 2 + 1
When x = 2 and y = 6, 6 > 2 + 1
∴ Ordered pairs are {(1, 4), (1, 6), (2, 4), (2, 6)}

(iii) {(x, y) / x + y = 3, x, y ∈ {0, 1, 2, 3}}
Here, x + y = 3
When x = 0, y = 3
When x = 1, y = 2
When x = 2, y = 1
When x = 3, y = 0
∴ Ordered pairs are {(0, 3), (1, 2), (2, 1), (3, 0)}

Std 11 Maths 1 Exercise 1.1 Solutions Commerce Maths

Question 1.
Describe the following sets in Roster form:
(i) {x / x is a letter of the word ‘MARRIAGE’}
(ii) {x / x is an integer, –\(\frac{1}{2}\) < x < \(\frac{9}{2}\)}
(iii) {x / x = 2n, n ∈ N}
Solution:
(i) Let A = {x / x is a letter of the word ‘MARRIAGE’}
∴ A = {M, A, R, I, G, E}

(ii) Let B = {x / x is an integer, –\(\frac{1}{2}\) < x < \(\frac{9}{2}\)}
∴ B = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}

(iii) Let C = {x / x = 2n, n ∈ N}
∴ C = {2, 4, 6, 8, ….}

Question 2.
Describe the following sets in Set-Builder form:
(i) {0}
(ii) {0, ±1, ±2, ±3}
(iii) \(\left\{\frac{1}{2}, \frac{2}{5}, \frac{3}{10}, \frac{4}{17}, \frac{5}{26}, \frac{6}{37}, \frac{7}{50}\right\}\)
Solution:
(i) Let A = {0}
0 is a whole number but it is not a natural number.
∴ A = {x / x ∈ W, x ∉ N}

(ii) Let B = {0, ±1, ±2, ±3}
B is the set of elements which belongs to Z from -3 to 3.
∴ B = {x / x ∈ Z, -3 ≤ x ≤ 3}

(iii) Let C = \(\left\{\frac{1}{2}, \frac{2}{5}, \frac{3}{10}, \frac{4}{17}, \frac{5}{26}, \frac{6}{37}, \frac{7}{50}\right\}\)
∴ C = {x / x = \(\frac{n}{n^{2}+1}\), n ∈ N, n ≤ 7}

Question 3.
If A = {x / 6x² + x – 15 = 0}, B = {x / 2x² – 5x – 3 = 0}, C = {x / 2x² – x – 3 = 0}, then find (i) (A ∪ B ∪ C) (ii) (A ∩ B ∩ C)
Solution:
A = {x / 6x² + x – 15 = o}
∴ 6x² + x – 15 = 0
∴ 6x² + 10x – 9x – 15 = 0
∴ 2x(3x + 5) – 3(3x + 5) = 0
∴ (3x + 5) (2x – 3) = 0
∴ 3x + 5 = 0 or 2x – 3 = 0
∴ x = \(\frac{-5}{3}\) or x = \(\frac{3}{2}\)
∴ A = \(\left\{\frac{-5}{3}, \frac{3}{2}\right\}\)

B = {x / 2x² – 5x – 3 = 0}
∴ 2x² – 5x – 3 = 0
∴ 2x² – 6x + x – 3 = 0
∴ 2x(x – 3) + 1(x – 3) = 0
∴ (x – 3)(2x + 1) = 0
∴ x – 3 = 0 or 2x + 1 = 0
∴ x = 3 or x = \(\frac{-1}{2}\)
∴ B = {\(\frac{-1}{2}\), 3}

C = {x / 2x² – x – 3 = 0}
∴ 2x² – x – 3 = 0
∴ 2x² – 3x + 2x – 3 = 0
∴ x(2x – 3) + 1(2x – 3) = 0
∴ (2x – 3) (x + 1) = 0
∴ 2x – 3 = 0 or x + 1 = 0
∴ x = \(\frac{3}{2}\) or x = -1
∴ C = {-1, \(\frac{3}{2}\)}

(i) A ∪ B ∪ C = \(\left\{-\frac{5}{3}, \frac{3}{2}\right\} \cup\left\{\frac{-1}{2}, 3\right\} \cup\left\{-1, \frac{3}{2}\right\}\) = \(\left\{\frac{-5}{3},-1, \frac{-1}{2}, \frac{3}{2}, 3\right\}\)

(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)]

Question 5.
If A = {1, 2, 3, 4}, B = {3, 4, 5, 6}, C = {4, 5, 6, 7, 8} and universal set X = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}, then verify the following:
(i) A ∪ (B ∩ C) = (A ∪ B) ∩ (A ∪ C)
(ii) A ∩ (B ∪ C) = (A ∩ B) ∪ (A ∩ C)
(iii) (A ∪ B)’ = A’ ∩ B’
(iv) (A ∩ B)’ = A’ ∪ B’
(v) A = (A ∩ B) ∪ (A ∩ B’)
(vi) B = (A ∩ B) ∪ (A’ ∩ B)
(vii) n(A ∪ B) = n(A) + n(B) – n(A ∩ B)
Solution:
A = {1, 2, 3, 4}, B = {3, 4, 5, 6}, C = {4, 5, 6, 7, 8}, X = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}
(i) B ∩ C = {4, 5, 6}
∴ 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)

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

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

(v) A = {1, 2, 3, 4} …..(i)
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 = {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(A ∪ B) = n(A) + n(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.
Out of 200 students, 35 students failed in MHT-CET, 40 in AIEEE and 40 in IIT entrance, 20 failed in MHT-CET and AIEEE, 17 in AIEEE and IIT entrance, 15 in MHT-CET and IIT entrance, and 5 failed in all three examinations. Find how many students
(i) did not fail in any examination.
(ii) failed in AIEEE or IIT entrance.
Solution:
Let A = set of students who failed in MHT-CET
B = set of students who failed in AIEEE
C = set of students who failed in IIT entrance
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 AIEEE or IIT entrance = n(B ∪ C)
= n(B) + n(C) – n(B ∩ C)
= 40 + 40 – 17
= 63

Question 8.
From amongst 2000 literate 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) = \(\frac{32.5}{2}\) × 2000 = 650
n(M ∪ E) = n(M) + n(E) – n(M ∩ E)
= 1400 + 1000 – 650
= 1750

(i) 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 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

∴ 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

Question 11.
If A = {1, 2, 3}, write the set of all possible subsets of A.
Solution:
A = {1, 2, 3}
∴ { }, {1}, {2}, {3}, {1, 2}, {2, 3}, {1, 3} and {1, 2, 3} are all the possible subsets of A.

Question 12.
Write the following intervals in set-builder form:
(i) (-3, 0)
(ii) [6, 12]
(iii) (6, 12)
(iv) (-23, 5)
Solution:
(i) (-3, 0) = {x / x ∈ R, -3 < x < 0}
(ii) [6, 12] = {x / x ∈ R, 6 ≤ x ≤ 12}
(iii) (6, 12) = {x / x ∈ R, 6 < x < 12}
(iv) (-23, 5) = {x / x ∈ R, -23 < x < 5}

5. State with reasons whether you agree or disagree with the following statement:

Question 1.
Population control is the only measure to eradicate poverty.
Answer:
No, I do not agree with the statement.
Policy measures undertaken for the eradication of poverty are as follows:

• Agriculture: Providing minimum support prices for selected crops and providing cheaper credit facilities to farmers are the measures taken to ensure stable agricultural income to farmers.
• Rural works: New employment is created for labours of rural areas by way of construction of roads, irrigation projects, etc.
• Rural industrialization: To increase the income of people living in rural areas, employment is created by promoting small-scale and cottage industries.
• Minimum wages: In 1948, the Minimum Wages Act was passed to provide fair wages to laborers and workers of industrial and agricultural areas.

• If one person earns less than the other, he is said to be poorer than the other.
• So, this difference in the earnings of people will be found in all the countries of the world.

Besides these, there are many other causes like:

• Inaccessibility to infrastructural facility

= 3(5.25)th observation
= 15.75th observation + 0.75 (16th observation – 15th observation)
= 31.7 + 0.75 (31.9 – 31.7)
= 31.7 + 0.75(0.2)
= 31.7 + 0.15
∴ Q₃ = 31.85

P₁₀ = \(10\left(\frac{n+1}{100}\right)^{t h}\) observation
= \(10\left(\frac{20+1}{100}\right)^{t h}\) observation
= 2.1th observation
= 2nd observation + 0.1(3rd observation – 2nd observation)
= 8.1 + 0.1 (8.3 – 8.1)
= 8.1+ 0.1 (0.2)
= 8.1 + 0.02
∴ P₁₀ = 8.12
Q₃ lies between 31.7 and 31.9 (i.e.) Madhya Pradesh and Assam
P₁₀ lies between 8.1 and 8.3 (i.e.) Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand.

What are the effects of Poverty?
Answer:
Economic effects of poverty:

• Low national income: As a substantial number of people are poor, their income, saving, and investment are inadequate. This results in low capital formation.
• Adverse effect on production: Since the capital for modernization is not available, the farmers continue with the outdated methods. Similarly, the industry does not have funds for modernization.
• Misallocation of resources: To help the poor, the government spends a huge amount on welfare activities. This restricts the allocation of resources for productive activities.
• Low standard of living: Due to low per capita income and low per capita consumption, people are forced to live in slums. This is reflected in the low standard of living.
• Malnutrition and starvation: Poor people can not afford a balanced diet due to low income. They do not get the minimum calories from their diet.

6. Answer the following in detail:

Question 1.
Explain the types of Industrial unemployment in India.
Answer:
Types of Industrial unemployment:
(i) Technological unemployment:
Due to the introduction of new machines or new technology, when some workers are removed from their jobs due to lack of proper training. E.g. computerization, the introduction of robotic technology, etc.

(ii) Frictional unemployment:
When due to the breakdown of machines, shortage of raw materials, strikes, power failure, etc. some workers are removed from the jobs, there is said to be frictional unemployment. This is temporary in nature.

(iii) Cyclical unemployment:
During an economic recession, there is a slowdown of economic activities due to a fall in overall demand. Therefore, factory owners remove some workers from their jobs to cut down the cost such unemployment caused due to depression (trade cycle) is called cyclical unemployment.

(iv) Structural unemployment:
It takes place due to structural changes in the economy i.e when due to change in the complete business set up, some workers are removed from their jobs, there is said to be structural unemployment. E.g. introduction of power looms instead of handlooms. It is long-term in nature.

Question 2.
Explain the causes of unemployment in India.
Answer:
Causes of Unemployment:
(i) Jobless growth:
Since independence, the rate of economic growth is less than the growth rate of the population. This leads to widespread unemployment in India.

(ii) Increase in labour force:
Due to the increase in medical facilities since independence, there is a considerable fall in the death rate without a corresponding fall in the birth rate. This led to an increase in the labour force which in turn led to unemployment in India.

(iii) Excessive use of machinery:
Industries as well as agricultural producers are undergoing modernization and have started using more machines and less labour. This means the Indian economy is moving towards capital intensive technique leaving behind labour intensive technique, which led to large scale unemployment.

(iv) Lack of skill development programmes:
Though educational institutions are increasing, no proper training is given to youngsters to work. Development of vocational skill courses is comparatively less in number in India. Hence, there is a lack of skilled manpower required by the industry in India.

(v) Expectations towards employment:
Educated people have high expectations about the salary and they want ‘white-collar jobs’ which are not available in plenty. They prefer to remain unemployed rather than accepting a lower salary. This also causes unemployment.

(vi) Seasonal nature of agriculture:
Due to the seasonal nature of agriculture in India, labourers are employed only for a few months a year and for the rest of the year, they remain jobless. This leads to seasonal unemployment in the country.

(vii) Migration of rural population:
Agriculture being seasonal, there are no alternative jobs available in the off-season or slack season. So the labour migrates to urban areas leading to urban unemployment in the country.

Question 3.
Explain the measures taken by the government to reduce unemployment.
Answer:
The measures taken by the government of India to reduce unemployment are as follows:
General measures to reduce unemployment:

• Development of agricultural sector
• Provision for an alternative occupation
• Development of infrastructure
• Reforms in the educational system
• Development of tourism
• Use of labor-intensive techniques
• Development of information technology and communication
• Provision for vocational training and skill development facilities
• Rural industrialization
• Motivation for self-employment.

Specific measures are undertaken by the government to generate employment opportunities:
Employment Guarantee Scheme (EGS): This Scheme was introduced on 28th March 1972. This scheme was introduced by Maharashtra Government in 1972-73. Under this scheme, work is provided to the registered job-seekers in rural areas within 15 days from the date of registration. This scheme was for unskilled manual labors above 18 years.

Swarnjayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana (SGSY): This scheme was launched in April 1999 after restructuring the Integrated Rural Developmental Programmer (IRDP) and allied schemes. It’s the only self-employment scheme for the rural poor in India.

Swarna Jayanti Shahari Rozgar Yojana (SJSRY): This scheme was launched in December 1997, It provides gainful employment to the urban unemployed and underemployed. It includes self-employment, women self-employment programme, skill training for employment programme, for this scheme Central Government shares 75% of the cost and State Government shares 25% of the cost.

Pradhan Mantri Rozgar Yojana (PMRY): This scheme is being implemented since 1993 to create and provide sustainable self-employment opportunities to more than one million educated unemployed youth.

Training Rural Youth for Self-employment (TRYSEM): It was initiated in 1979 with the objective of tackling the unemployment problem among rural youth. It aimed at training about 2 lakh rural youth every year to enable them to become self-employed.

Besides the above measures, there are many other specific measures undertaken by the government. They can be named as:

• Jawahar Rozgar Yojana (JRY)
• Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS)
• Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana 2014
• National Policy for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship – 2015

Answer:
Population policy.
China’s ‘One Child Policy’ was part of a birth planning program designed to control the size of its population.

4. Answer the following:

Question 1.
Explain the causes of the high birth rate.
Answer:
The causes of the high birth rate are as follows:
(i) Illiteracy:
A large proportion of the population in India is illiterate which means they are bound to be traditional, superstitious, ignorant, and irrational. So they have more children.

(ii) Universalization of Marriage:
In India, Marriage is considered a religious and social obligation. In spite of the spread of education, the attitude of people towards marriage remains unchanged.

(iii) Age of Marriage:
In India the average age for marriage is low. Hence, the childbearing period is long which is responsible for the high birth rate.

(iv) Preference for the male child:
Many parents don’t accept family planning till they have a son or desired number of sons. This is known as son meta-preference.

Question 2.
Explain the causes of a low death rate.
Answer:
The causes of the low death rate are as follows:
(i) Improvement in medical and health facilities:
Due to advanced medical and health facilities epidemics like the plague, cholera, malaria, smallpox, measles, TB, etc. have been controlled or eradicated. The invention of sulpha drugs, penicillin, antibiotics has helped to reduce the death rate among people. The number of hospitals, doctors, and nurses also have increased. This has reduced the death rate.

(ii) Decline in Maternal Mortality Rate:
There is a fall in the death rate among women after delivery because of the easy availability of doctors, nurses, medicines, and transport facilities.

(iii) Fall in infant mortality rate:
Due to an improvement in medical facilities and public health measures infant mortality has declined.

(iv) Increase in literacy:
The spread of education especially among women has helped them to take better care of their children. This has reduced the death rate.

Question 3.
Explain the role of human resources in economic development.
Answer:
Role of human resource in economic development:

• Economic growth is only a means and human development is the end i.e. the objective of economic growth and development is to improve human conditions and enlarge people’s choices.
• Human development increases political stability by reducing civil disturbances in society.
• Human development leads to an increase in human productivity i.e., investment in nutrition, health, and education results in higher productivity.
• Human development helps to control population growth, through increasing literacy specially in women.
• Human resource development contributes to improvement in life expectancy and literacy rate. This further improves the quality of life.
• Human resource development helps to bring about research and development. It motivates research in various educational institutions.

5. State with reasons whether you agree or disagree with the following statements:

Question 1.
India is experiencing Population Explosion.
Answer:
Yes, I do agree with the statement.

• India is going through a population explosion because in the post-independence period, the death rate has been falling rapidly and the birth rate is falling slowly and still remains very high. So, the survival rate is high.
• India is the second-largest country in the world.
• Between 1951 to 1971 population increased from 36.1 crores to 54.8 i.e. the population has increased more than 3 times in 2011 to 121.02 crores during these three decades. The annual population growth rate was more than 2%.
• That is why India is experiencing a population explosion.

Question 2.
The death rate is falling rapidly in India.
Answer:
Yes, I do agree with the statement.

• There has been improvement in medical and health facilities, the decline in maternal mortality rate, fall in infant mortality rate, increase in literacy rate, etc.
• Through public health measures, a better quality of food is available.
• The government has taken several steps to control natural calamities.
• This helps to mitigate all types of disasters thereby reducing the loss of lives.
• Hence, the death rate in India is falling rapidly.

Question 3.
Optimum population contributes to the economic development of a country.
Answer:
Yes, I do agree with the statement.

• Optimum population means there is a balance between population growth and the availability of natural resources.
• If the population grows faster then there will be a shortage of food supply, low employment opportunities, etc., and pressure will be there on the economic growth of the country.
• It will create social and economic imbalances in the economy.
• Whereas optimum population will lead to balance in social and economic growth resulting in faster growth of the country.
• Thus, an optimum population contributes to the economic development of a country.

Question 4.
Human resources play an important role in economic development.
Answer:
Yes, I do agree with the statement.

• The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has introduced the concept of ‘Human Development’ in 1990.
• Human resource development occurs through the provision of educational facilities, increase in literacy rate, especially among women tends to reduce birth rate and infant mortality rate. This contributes to population control.
• HRD contributes to improvement in life expectancy and literacy rate. This further improves the quality of life.
• Human development leads to an increase in human productivity, i.e. investment in nutrition, health, and education which results in higher productivity.
• Hence, human resources play an important role in economic development.

Question 5.
The birth rate is declining due to changes in the standard of living.
Answer:
Yes, I do agree with the statement.

• According to the 2011 Census, the birth rate in India is 20.9 which is low as compared to the 2001 Census.
• There are certain factors responsible for the declining birth rate.
  • Awareness about health facilities.
  • Joint Family System is now shaped into a nuclear family system.
  • The cost of education is increased per child.
  • Under the family planning programme, contraceptive pills are available.
• Due to all these reasons, the birth rate is declining in India.

5. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below:

Rural development is one of the thrust areas of administration. As Mahatma Gandhi rightly said, “India lives in villages and the development of the nation cannot be achieved without the development of the villages”. The need of the hour is the convergence of all development interventions, at the grass-root level which can be possible through effective governance at the village level. The movement towards decentralization of the National and State governments through the Panchayati Raj system needs to be strengthened through lessons learned from the ‘successful stories of Model villages’ around India. Though India is progressing in the right direction in reducing education inequalities and increasing literacy levels, there is still a lot that needs to be done. An understanding of social issues is important for effective planning and policy development. Self-governance ensures that Indian citizens, even the previously marginalized, can participate in decision-making.

Answer:

My idea of a model village is as follows:

• There should be a good system of sanitation and the provision of safe drinking water.
• There must be good educational facilities so as to improve the literacy rate.
• There must be gender equality and women must be empowered & encouraged to participate in Community Development Programme.
