(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.

(ii) {(1, 2), (2, -1), (3, 1), (4, 3)} represents a function.
Reason: Every element of set A has been assigned 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.
Check if the relation given by the equation represents y as function of x.
(i) 2x + 3y = 12
(ii) x + y² = 9
(iii) x² – y = 25
(iv) 2y + 10 = 0
(v) 3x – 6 = 21
Solution:
(i) 2x + 3y = 12
∴ y = \(\frac{12-2 x}{3}\)
∴ For every value of x, there is a unique value of y.
∴ y is a function of x.

(ii) x + y² = 9
∴ y² = 9 – x
∴ y = ±\(\sqrt{9-x}\)
∴ For one value of x, there are two values of y.
∴ y is not a function of x.

(iii) x² – y = 25
∴ y = x² – 25
∴ For every value of x, there is a unique value of y.
∴ y is a function of x.

(iv) 2y + 10 = 0
∴ y = -5
∴ For every value of x, there is a unique value of y.
∴ y is a function of x.

(v) 3x – 6 = 21
∴ x = 9
∴ x = 9 represents a point on the X-axis.
There is no y involved in the equation.
So the given equation does not represent a function.

Question 4.
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)
(vi) \(\left(\frac{\mathbf{f}(2+h)-f(2)}{h}\right)\), h ≠ 0.
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(\(\frac{1}{2}\)) = \(\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2}-3\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)+1\)
= \(\frac{1}{4}-\frac{3}{2}+1\)
= \(\frac{1-6+4}{4}\)
= \(-\frac{1}{4}\)

(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

(vi) \(\left(\frac{\mathbf{f}(2+h)-f(2)}{h}\right)\)
= \(\frac{(2+h)^{2}-3(2+h)+1-\left(2^{2}-3(2)+1\right)}{h}\)
= \(\frac{\mathrm{h}^{2}+\mathrm{h}}{\mathrm{h}}\)
= h + 1

Question 5.
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
(iv) g(x) = x³ – 2x² – 5x + 6
Solution:
(i) g(x) = \(\frac{5 x-6}{7}\)
g(x) = 0
∴ \(\frac{5 x-6}{7}\) = 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
∴ (2x – 1) (3x + 2) = 0
∴ 2x – 1 = 0 or 3x + 2 = 0
∴ x = \(\frac{1}{2}\) or x = \(\frac{-2}{3}\)

(iv) g(x) = x³ – 2x² – 5x + 6
= ( x- 1) (x² – x – 6)
= (x – 1) (x + 2) (x – 3)
g(x) = 0
∴ (x – 1) (x + 2) (x – 3) = 0
∴ x – 1 = 0 or x + 2 = 0 or x – 3 = 0
∴ x = 1, -2, 3

Question 6.
Find x, if f(x) = g(x) where
(i) f(x) = x⁴ + 2x², g(x) = 11x²
(ii) f(x) = √x – 3, g(x) = 5 – x
Solution:
(i) 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, ±3

(ii) f(x) = √x – 3, g(x) = 5 – x
f(x) = g(x)
∴ √x – 3 = 5 – x
∴ √x = 5 – x + 3
∴ √x = 8 – x
on squaring, we get
x = 64 + x² – 16x
∴ x² – 17x + 64 = 0
∴ x = \(\frac{17 \pm \sqrt{(-17)^{2}-4(64)}}{2}\)
∴ x = \(\frac{17 \pm \sqrt{289-256}}{2}\)
∴ x = \(\frac{17 \pm \sqrt{33}}{2}\)

Question 7.
If f(x) = \(\frac{a-x}{b-x}\), f(2) is undefined, and f(3) = 5, find a and b.
Solution:
f(x) = \(\frac{a-x}{b-x}\)
Given that,
f(2) is undefined
b – 2 = 0
∴ b = 2 …..(i)
f(3) = 5
∴ \(\frac{a-3}{b-3}\) = 5
∴ \(\frac{a-3}{2-3}\) = 5 ….. [From (i)]
∴ a – 3 = -5
∴ a = -2
∴ a = -2, b = 2

Question 8.
Find the domain and range of the following functions.
(i) f(x) = 7x² + 4x – 1
Solution:
f(x) = 7x² + 4x – 1
f is defined for all x.
∴ Domain of f = R (i.e., the set of real numbers)

∴ Range of f = [\(-\frac{11}{7}\), ∞)

(ii) g(x) = \(\frac{x+4}{x-2}\)
Solution:
g(x) = \(\frac{x+4}{x-2}\)
Function g is defined everywhere except at x = 2.
∴ Domain of g = R – {2}
Let y = g(x) = \(\frac{x+4}{x-2}\)
∴ (x – 2) y = x + 4
∴ x(y – 1) = 4 + 2y
∴ For every y, we can find x, except for y = 1.
∴ y = 1 ∉ range of function g
∴ Range of g = R – {1}

(iii) h(x) = \(\frac{\sqrt{x+5}}{5+x}\)
Solution:
h(x) = \(\frac{\sqrt{x+5}}{5+x}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{x+5}}\), x ≠ -5
For x = -5, function h is not defined.
∴ x + 5 > 0 for function h to be well defined.
∴ x > -5
∴ Domain of h = (-5, ∞)
Let y = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{x+5}}\)
∴ y > 0
Range of h = (0, ∞) or R+

(iv) f(x) = \(\sqrt[3]{x+1}\)
Solution:
f(x) = \(\sqrt[3]{x+1}\)
f is defined for all real x and the values of f(x) ∈ R
∴ Domain of f = R, Range of f = R

(v) f(x) = \(\sqrt{(x-2)(5-x)}\)
Solution:
f(x) = \(\sqrt{(x-2)(5-x)}\)
For f to be defined,
(x – 2)(5 – x) ≥ 0
∴ (x – 2)(x – 5) ≤ 0
∴ 2 ≤ x ≤ 5 ……[∵ The solution of (x – a) (x – b) ≤ 0 is a ≤ x ≤ b, for a < b]
∴ Domain of f = [2, 5]
(x – 2) (5 – x) = -x² + 7x – 10
= \(-\left(x-\frac{7}{2}\right)^{2}+\frac{49}{4}-10\)
= \(\frac{9}{4}-\left(x-\frac{7}{2}\right)^{2} \leq \frac{9}{4}\)
∴ \(\sqrt{(x-2)(5-x)} \leq \sqrt{\frac{9}{4}} \leq \frac{3}{2}\)
Range of f = [0, \(\frac{3}{2}\)]

(vi) f(x) = \(\sqrt{\frac{x-3}{7-x}}\)
Solution:
f(x) = \(\sqrt{\frac{x-3}{7-x}}\)
For f to be defined,
\(\sqrt{\frac{x-3}{7-x}}\) ≥ 0, 7 – x ≠ 0
∴ \(\sqrt{\frac{x-3}{7-x}}\) ≤ 0 and x ≠ 7
∴ 3 ≤ x < 7
Let a < b, \(\frac{x-a}{x-b}\) ≤ 0 ⇒ a ≤ x < b
∴ Domain of f = [3, 7)
f(x) ≥ 0 … [∵ The value of square root function is non-negative]
∴ Range of f = [0, ∞)

(vii) f(x) = \(\sqrt{16-x^{2}}\)
Solution:
f(x) = \(\sqrt{16-x^{2}}\)
For f to be defined,
16 – x² ≥ 0
∴ x² ≤ 16
∴ -4 ≤ x ≤ 4
∴ Domain of f = [-4, 4]
Clearly, f(x) ≥ 0 and the value of f(x) would be maximum when the quantity subtracted from 16 is minimum i.e. x = 0
∴ Maximum value of f(x) = √16 = 4
∴ Range of f = [0, 4]

Question 9.
Express the area A of a square as a function of its
(a) side s
(b) perimeter P
Solution:
(a) area (A) = s²
(b) perimeter (P) = 4s
∴ s = \(\frac{\mathrm{P}}{4}\)
Area (A) = s² = \(\left(\frac{\mathrm{P}}{4}\right)^{2}\)
∴ A = \(\frac{\mathrm{P}^{2}}{16}\)

Question 10.
Express the area A of a circle as a function of its
(i) radius r
(ii) diameter d
(iii) circumference C
Solution:
(i) Area (A) = πr²

(ii) Diameter (d) = 2r
∴ r = \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{2}\)
∴ Area (A) = πr² = \(\frac{\pi \mathrm{d}^{2}}{4}\)

(iii) Circumference (C) = 2πr
∴ r = \(\frac{C}{2 \pi}\)
Area (A) = πr² = \(\pi\left(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2 \pi}\right)^{2}\)
∴ A = \(\frac{C^{2}}{4 \pi}\)

Question 11.
An open box is made from a square of cardboard of 30 cms side, by cutting squares of length x centimeters from each corner and folding the sides up. Express the volume of the box as a function of x. Also, find its domain.
Solution:

Length of the box = 30 – 2x
Breadth of the box = 30 – 2x
Height of the box = x
Volume = (30 – 2x)² x, x < 15, x ≠ 15, x > 0
= 4x(15 – x)², x ≠ 15, x > 0
Domain (0, 15)

Question 12.
Let f be a subset of Z × Z defined by f = {(ab, a + b): a, b ∈ Z}. Is f a function from Z to Z? Justify?
Solution:
f = {(ab, a + b): a, b ∈ Z}
Let a = 1, b = 1. Then, ab = 1, a + b = 2
∴ (1, 2) ∈ f
Let a = -1, b = -1. Then, ab = 1, a + b = -2
∴ (1, -2) ∈ f
Since (1, 2) ∈ f and (1, -2) ∈ f,
f is not a function as element 1 does not have a unique image.

Question 13.
Check the injectivity and surjectivity of the following functions.
(i) f : N → N given by f(x) = x²
Solution:
f: N → N given by f(x) = x²

∴ f is injective.
For every y = x² ∈ N, there does not exist x ∈ N.
Example: 7 ∈ N (codomain) for which there is no x in domain N such that x² = 7
∴ f is not surjective.

(ii) f : Z → Z given by f(x) = x²
Solution:
f: Z → Z given by f(x) = x2

∴ f is not injective.
(Example: f(-2) = 4 = f(2). So, -2, 2 have the same image. So, f is not injective.)
Since x² ≥ 0,
f(x) ≥ 0
Therefore all negative integers of codomain are not images under f.
∴ f is not surjective.

(iii) f : R → R given by f(x) = x²
Solution:
f : R → R given by f(x) = x²

∴ f is not injective.
f(x) = x² ≥ 0
Therefore all negative integers of codomain are not images under f.
∴ f is not surjective.

(iv) f : N → N given by f(x) = x³
Solution:
f: N → N given by f(x) = x³

∴ f is injective.
Numbers from codomain which are not cubes of natural numbers are not images under f.
∴ f is not surjective.

(v) f : R → R given by f(x) = x³
Solution:
f: R → R given by f(x) = x³

∴ For every y ∈ R, there is some x ∈ R.
∴ f is surjective.

Question 14.

Solution:
f is a one-one function.
Let f(x₁) = f(x₂)
Then, x₁ = x₂ for all x₁, x₂ …..(i)
g is a one-one function.
Let g(y₁) = g(y₂)
Then, y₁ = y₂ for all y₁, y₂ …..(ii)
Let (gof) (x₁) = (gof) (x₂)
∴ g(f(x₁)) = g(f(x₂))
∴ g(y₁) = g(y₂),
where y₁ = f(x₁), y₂ = f(x₂) ∈ B
∴ y₁ = y₂ …..[From (ii)]
i.e., f(x₁) = f(x₂)
∴ x₁ = x₂ ….[From (i)]
∴ gof is one-one.

Question 15.
Show that if f : A → B and g : B → C are onto, then gof is also onto.
Solution:
Since g is surjective (onto),
there exists y ∈ B for every z ∈ C such that
g(y) = z …….(i)
Since f is surjective,
there exists x ∈ A for every y ∈ B such that
f(x) = y …….(ii)
(gof) x = g(f(x))
= g(y) ……[From (ii)]
= z …..[From(i)]
i.e., for every z ∈ C, there is x in A such that (gof) x = z
∴ gof is surjective (onto).

Question 16.
If f(x) = 3(4^x+1), find f(-3).
Solution:
f(x) = 3(4^x+1)
∴ f(-3) = 3(4^-3+1)
= 3(4^-2)
= \(\frac{3}{16}\)

Question 17.
Express the following exponential equations in logarithmic form:
(i) 2⁵ = 32
(ii) 54⁰ = 1
(iii) 23¹ = 23

(iii) log₁₀ 0.001 = -3
(iv) \(\log _{\frac{1}{2}}\)(8) = -3
(v) ln 1 = 0
(vi) ln e = 1
(vii) ln \(\frac{1}{2}\) = -0.693
Solution:
(i) log₂ 64 = 6
∴ 64 = 2⁶, i.e., 2⁶ = 64

Question 19.
Find the domain of
(i) f(x) = ln (x – 5)
(ii) f(x) = log10 (x² – 5x + 6)
Solution:
(i) f(x) = ln (x – 5)
f is defined, when x – 5 > 0
∴ x > 5
∴ Domain of f = (5, ∞)

(ii) f(x) = log₁₀ (x² – 5x + 6)
x² – 5x + 6 = (x – 2) (x – 3)
f is defined, when (x – 2) (x – 3) > 0
∴ x < 2 or x > 3
Solution of (x – a) (x – b) > 0 is x < a or x > b where a < b
∴ Domain of f = (-∞, 2) ∪ (3, ∞)

Question 20.

Solution:

Question 22.
Given that log 2 = a and log 3 = b, write log √96 terms of a and b.
Solution:
log 2 = a and log 3 = b
log √96 = \(\frac{1}{2}\) log (96)
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) log (2⁵ x 3)
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) (log 2⁵ + log 3) …..[∵ log mn = log m + log n]
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) (5 log 2 + log 3) ……[∵ log mⁿ = n log m]
= \(\frac{5 a+b}{2}\)

Question 23.
Prove that:
(a) \(b^{\log _{b} a}=a\)
Solution:
We have to prove that \(b^{\log _{b} a}=a\)
i.e., to prove that (logb a) (log_b b) = log_b a
(Taking log on both sides with base b)
L.H.S. = (log_b a) (log_b b)
= log_b a …..[∵ log_b b = 1]
= R.H.S.

(b) \(\log _{b^{m}} a=\frac{1}{m} \log _{b} a\)
Solution:

(c) \(a^{\log _{c} b}=b^{\log _{c} a}\)
Solution:

Question 24.
If f(x) = ax² – bx + 6 and f(2) = 3 and f(4) = 30, find a and b.
Solulion:
f(x) = ax² – bx + 6
f(2) = 3
∴ a(2)² – b(2) + 6 = 3
∴ 4a – 2b + 6 = 3
∴ 4a – 2b + 3 = 0 …..(i)
f(4) = 30
∴ a(4)² – b(4) + 6 = 30
∴ 16a – 4b + 6 = 30
∴ 16a – 4b – 24 = 0 …..(ii)
By (ii) – 2 × (i), we get
8a – 30 = 0
∴ a = \(\frac{30}{8}=\frac{15}{4}\)
Substiting a = \(\frac{15}{4}\) in (i), we get
4(\(\frac{15}{4}\)) – 2b + 3 = 0
∴ 2b = 18
∴ b = 9
∴ a = \(\frac{15}{4}\), b = 9

Question 25.
Solve for x:
(i) log 2 + log (x + 3) – log (3x – 5) = log 3
Solution:
log 2 + log (x + 3) – log (3x – 5) = log 3
∴ log 2(x + 3) – log(3x – 5) = log 3 …..[∵ log m + log n = log mn]
∴ log \(\frac{2(x+3)}{3 x-5}\) = log 3 …..[∵ log m – log n = log \(\frac{m}{n}\)]
∴ \(\frac{2(x+3)}{3 x-5}\) = 3
∴ 2x + 6 = 9x – 15
∴ 7x = 21
∴ x = 3

Check:
If x = 3 satisfies the given condition, then our answer is correct.
L.H.S. = log 2 + log (x + 3) – log (3x – 5)
= log 2 + log (3 + 3) – log (9 – 5)
= log 2 + log 6 – log 4
= log (2 × 6) – log 4
= log \(\frac{12}{4}\)
= log 3
= R.H.S.
Thus, our answer is correct.

(ii) 2log₁₀ x = 1 + \(\log _{10}\left(x+\frac{11}{10}\right)\)
Solution:


∴ x² = 10x + 11
∴ x² – 10x – 11 = 0
∴ (x – 11)(x + 1) = 0
∴ x = 11 or x = -1
But log of a negative numbers does not exist
∴ x ≠ -1
∴ x = 11

(iii) log₂ x + log₄ x + log₁₆ x = \(\frac{21}{4}\)
Solution:

(iv) x + log₁₀ (1 + 2^x) = x log₁₀ 5 + log₁₀ 6
Solution:

∴ a + a² = 6
∴ a² + a – 6 = 0
∴ (a + 3)(a – 2) = 0
∴ a + 3 = 0 or a – 2 = 0
∴ a = -3 or a = 2
Since 2x = -3 is not possible,
2x = 2 = 21
∴ x = 1

Question 26.
If log \(\left(\frac{x+y}{3}\right)\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\) log x + \(\frac{1}{2}\) log y, show that \(\frac{x}{y}+\frac{y}{x}\) = 7.
Solution:

Question 27.

If set A is empty set then n[P[P[P(A)]]] is
(A) 6
(B) 16
(C) 2
(D) 4
Answer:
(D) 4
Hint:
A = Φ
∴ n(A) = 0
∴ n[P(A)] = 2^n(A) = 2⁰ = 1
∴ n[P[P(A)]] = 2^n[P(A)] = 2¹ = 2
∴ n[P[P[P(A)]]] = 2^n[P[P(A)]] = 2² = 4

Question 4.
In a city 20% of the population travels by car, 50% travels by bus and 10% travels by both car and bus. Then, persons travelling by car or bus are
(A) 80%
(B) 40%
(C) 60%
(D) 70%
Answer:
(C) 60%
Hint:
Let C = Population travels by car
B = Population travels by bus
n(C) = 20%, n(B) = 50%, n(C ∩ B) = 10%
n(C ∪ B) = n(C) + n(B) – n(C ∩ B)
= 20% + 50% – 10%
= 60%

If (x, y) ∈ N × N, then xy = x² is a relation that is
(A) Symmetric
(B) Reflexive
(C) Transitive
(D) Equivalence
Answer:
(D) Equivalence
Hint:
Let x ∈ R, then xx = x²
∴ x is related to x.
∴ Given relation is reflexive.
Letx = 0 and y = 2,
then xy = 0 × 2 = 0 = x²
∴ x is related to y.
Consider, yx = 2 × 0 = 0 ≠ y²
∴ y is not related to x.
∴ Given relation is not symmetric.
Let x be related to y and y be related to z.
∴ xy = x² and yz = y²
∴ x = \(\frac{x^{2}}{y}\) and z = \(\frac{y^{2}}{y}\) = y …..[if y ≠ 0]
Consider, xz = \(\frac{x^{2}}{y}\) × y = x²
∴ x is related to z.
∴ Given relation is transitive.

(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 is a day 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 down the sets.

(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}

(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)}

(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.
Domain (R₁) = Set of first components of R₁ = {1}
Range (R₁) = Set of second components of R₁ = {4, 5, 6}

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

Since R₃ ⊆ A × B,
R₃ is a relation from A to B.
Domain (R₃) = Set of first components of R₃ = {1, 2, 3}
Range (R₃) = Set of second components of R₃ = {4, 5, 6}

(iv) R₄ = {(4, 2), (2, 6), (5, 1), (2, 4)}
Since (4, 2) ∈ R₄, but (4, 2) ∉ A × B,
R₄ ⊄ A × B

Question 7.
Determine the domain and range of the following relations.
(i) R = {(a, b) / a ∈ N, a < 5, b = 4}
(ii) R = {(a, b) / b = |a – 1|, a ∈ Z, |a| < 3}
Solution:
(i) R = {(a, b) / a ∈ N, a < 5, b = 4}
∴ Domain (R) = {a / a ∈ N, a < 5} = {1, 2, 3, 4}
Range (R) = {b / b = 4} = {4}

(ii) R = {(a, b) / b = |a – 1|, a ∈ Z, |a| < 3}
Since a ∈ Z and |a| < 3,
a < 3 and a > -3
∴ -3 < a < 3
∴ a = -2, -1, 0, 1, 2
b = |a – 1|
When a = -2, b = 3
When a = -1, b = 2
When a = 0, b = 1
When a = 1, b = 0
When a = 2, b = 1
Domain (R) = {-2, -1, 0, 1, 2}

R : A → A, A = {1, 2, 3,4}
(i) R = {(a, b)/a – b = 10} = { }

(ii) R = {(a, b) / |a – b| ≥ 0}
= {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4), (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4)}
A × A = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4), (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4)}
∴ R = A × A

(i) reflexive
(ii) symmetric
(iii) transitive
Solution:
R = {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (1, 2), (2, 3)}
(i) Here, (x, x) ∈ R, for x ∈ {1, 2, 3}
∴ R is reflexive.

(ii) Here, (1, 2) ∈ R, but (2, 1) ∉ R.
∴ R is not symmetric.

(iii) Here, (1, 2), (2, 3) ∈ R,
But (1, 3) ∉ R.
∴ R is not transitive.

Question 10.
Check if R : Z → Z, R = {(a, b) | 2 divides a – b} is an equivalence relation.
Solution:
(i) Since 2 divides a – a,
(a, a) ∈ R
∴ R is reflexive. .

(ii) Let (a, b) ∈ R
Then 2 divides a – b
∴ 2 divides b – a
∴ (b, a) ∈ R
∴ R is symmetric.

(iii) Let (a, b) ∈ R, (b, c) ∈ R
Then a – b = 2m, b – c = 2n,
∴ a – c = 2(m + n), where m, n are integers.
∴ 2 divides a – c
∴ (a, c) ∈ R
∴ R is transitive.
Thus, R is an equivalence relation.

Question 11.
Show that the relation R in the set A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} Given by R = {(a, b) / |a – b| is even} is an equivalence relation.
Solution:
(i) Since |a – a| is even,
∴ (a, a) ∈ R
∴ R is reflexive.

(ii) Let (a, b) ∈ R
Then |a – b| is even
∴ |b – a| is even
∴ (b, a) ∈ R
∴ R is symmetric.

(iii) Let (a, b), (b, c) ∈ R
Then a – b = ±2m, b – c = ±2n
∴ a – c = ±2(m + n), where m, n are integers.
∴ (a, c) ∈ R

(i) R in A is set of all books given by R = {(x, y) / x and y have same number of pages}
(ii) R in A = {x ∈ Z | 0 ≤ x ≤ 12} given by R = {(a, b) / |a – b| is a multiple of 4}
(iii) R in A = (x ∈ N/x ≤ 10} given by R = {(a, b) | a = b}
Solution:
(i) a. Clearly (x, x) ∈ R
∴ R is reflexive.

b. If (x, y) ∈ R then (y, x) ∈ R.
∴ R is symmetric.

c. Let (x, y) ∈ R, (y, x) ∈ R.
Then x, y, and z are 3 books having the same number of pages.
∴ (x, z) ∈ R as x, z has the same number of pages.
∴ R is transitive.
Thus, R is an equivalence relation.

(ii) a. Since |a – a| is a multiple of 4,
(a, a) ∈ R
∴ R is reflexive.

b. Let (a, b) ∈ R
Then a – b = ±4m,
∴ b – a = ±4m, where m is an integer
∴ (b, a) ∈ R
∴ R is symmetric.

c. Let (a, b), (b, c) ∈ R
a – b = ± 4m, b – c = ± 4n,
∴ a – c = ±4(m + n), where m, n are integers
∴ (a, c) ∈ R
∴ R is transitive
Thus, R is an equivalence relation.

(iii) a. Since a = a
∴ (a, a) ∈ R
∴ R is reflexive.

b. Let (a, b) ∈ R Then a = b
∴ b = a
∴ (b, a) ∈ R
∴ R is symmetric.

c. Let (a, b), (b, c) ∈ R
Then, a = b, b = c
∴ a = c
∴ (a, c) ∈ R
∴ R is transitive.
Thus, R is an equivalence relation.

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

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)}

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.

(v) R₅ = {(x, y) / x + y = 3, x, y ∈ {0, 1, 2, 3}}
(vi) R₆ = {(a, b) / a ∈ N, a < 6 and b = 4}
(vii) R₇ = {(a, b) / a, b ∈ N, a + b = 6}
(viii) R₈ = {(a, b)/ b = a + 2, a ∈ Z, 0 < a < 5}
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)}

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.

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}

= 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

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

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 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.

(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.

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

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
∴ k + k = 256
∴ 2k = 256
∴ k = 128
∴ C₀ + C₂ + C₄ + C₆ + C₈ = C₁ + C₃ + C₅ + C₇ = 128

Question 6.
Show that C₁ + C₂ + C₃ + ….. + C_n = 2ⁿ – 1
Solution:
Since C₀ + C₁ + C₂ + C₃ + ….. + C_n = 2ⁿ
But, C₀ = 1
∴ 1 + C₁ + C₂ + C₃ + …… + C_n = 2ⁿ
∴ C₁ + C₂ + C₃ + ….. + C_n = 2ⁿ – 1

Question 7.

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.
∴ P(n) is true for n = 1.

Step II:
Let us assume that P(n) is true for n = k.
∴ 1² + 2² + 3² +…+ k² = \(\frac{k(k+1)(2 k+1)}{6}\) …..(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 + 2² + 3² + …+ n² = \(\frac{n(n+1)(2 n+1)}{6}\) for all n ∈ N.

Question 4.
1² + 3² + 5² + ….. + (2n – 1)² = \(\frac{n}{3}\) (2n – 1)(2n + 1)
Solution:
Let P(n) = 1² + 3² + 5²+…..+ (2n – 1)² = \(\frac{n}{3}\) (2n – 1)(2n + 1), for all n ∈ N.
Step I:
Put n = 1
L.H.S. = 1² = 1
R.H.S. = \(\frac{1}{3}\) [2(1) – 1][2(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 + 3² + 5² +….+(2k – 1)² = \(\frac{k}{3}\) (2k – 1)(2k + 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 + 3² + 5² + …+ (2n – 1)² = \(\frac{n}{3}\) (2n – 1)(2n + 1) for all n ∈ N.

Question 5.
1³ + 3³ + 5³ + ….. to n terms = n² (2n² – 1)
Solution:
Let P(n) = 1³ + 3³ + 5³ + …. to n terms = n² (2n² – 1), for all n ∈ N.
But 1, 3, 5, are in A.P.
∴ a = 1, d = 2
Let tn be the nth term.
t_n = a + (n – 1) d = 1 + (n – 1) 2 = 2n – 1
∴ P(n) = 1³ + 3³ + 5³ +…..+ (2n – 1)³ = n² (2n² – 1)

Step I:
Put n = 1
L.H.S. = 1³ = 1
R.H.S. = 1² [2(1)² – 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.
∴ 1³ + 3³ + 5³ +…+ (2k – 1)³ = k² (2k² – 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.
∴ 1³ + 3³ + 5³ + … to n terms = n² (2n² – 1) for all n ∈ N.

Question 6.

Solution:
Let P(n) = 1.2 + 2.3 + 3.4 +….+n(n + 1) = \(\frac{n(n+1)(n+2)}{3}\), for all n ∈ N.

Step I:
Put n = 1
L.H.S. = 1.2 = 2
R.H.S. = \(\frac{1}{3}\) (1 + 1)(1 + 2) = 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.
∴ 1.2 + 2.3 + 3.4 + ….. + k(k + 1) = \(\frac{k}{3}\) (k + 1)(k + 2) ……(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.
∴ 1.2 + 2.3 + 3.4 + … + n(n + 1) = \(\frac{n}{3}\) (n + 1)(n + 2), for all n ∈ N.

Question 7.
1.3 + 3.5 + 5.7 +… to n terms = \(\frac{n}{3}\) (4n² + 6n – 1)
Solution:
Let P(n) = 1.3 + 3.5 + 5.7 +… to n terms = \(\frac{n}{3}\) (4n² + 6n -1), for all n ∈ N.
But first factor in each term, i.e., 1, 3, 5,… are in A.P. with a = 1 and d = 2.
∴ nth term = a + (n – 1)d = 1 + (n – 1) 2 = (2n – 1)
Also, second factor in each term,
i.e., 3, 5, 7, … are in A.P. with a = 3 and d = 2.
∴ nth term = a + (n – 1) d = 3 + (n – 1) 2 = (2n + 1)
∴ nth term, t_n = (2n – 1) (2n + 1)
∴ P(n) ≡ 1.3 + 3.5 + 5.7 + …. + (2n – 1) (2n + 1) = \(\frac{n}{3}\) (4n² + 6n – 1)

Step I:
Put n = 1
L.H.S. = 1.3 = 3
R.H.S. = \(\frac{1}{3}\) [4(1)² + 6(1) – 1] = 3
∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
∴ P(n) is trae for n = 1.

Step II:
Let us assume that P(n) is true for n = k.
∴ 1.3 + 3.5 + 5.7 +….+ (2k – 1)(2k + 1) = \(\frac{k}{3}\) (4k² + 6k – 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.

Question 8.
\(\frac{1}{1.3}+\frac{1}{3.5}+\frac{1}{5.7}+\ldots+\frac{1}{(2 n-1)(2 n+1)}=\frac{n}{2 n+1}\)
Solution:
Let P(n) ≡ \(\frac{1}{1.3}+\frac{1}{3.5}+\frac{1}{5.7}+\ldots+\frac{1}{(2 n-1)(2 n+1)}=\frac{n}{2 n+1}\), for all n ∈ N.

Step I:
Put n = 1
L.H.S. = \(\frac{1}{1.3}=\frac{1}{3}\)
R.H.S. = \(\frac{1}{2(1)+1}=\frac{1}{3}\)
∴ 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.
∴ \(\frac{1}{1.3}+\frac{1}{3.5}+\frac{1}{5.7}+\ldots+\frac{1}{(2 k-1)(2 k+1)}=\frac{k}{2 k+1}\) …..(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.
∴ \(\frac{1}{1.3}+\frac{1}{3.5}+\frac{1}{5.7}+\ldots+\frac{1}{(2 n-1)(2 n+1)}=\frac{n}{2 n+1}\), for all n ∈ N.

Question 9.

Let P(n) ≡ \(\frac{1}{3.5}+\frac{1}{5.7}+\frac{1}{7.9}+\ldots \text { to } n \text { terms }=\frac{n}{3(2 n+3)}\), for all n ∈ N.
But first factor in each term of the denominator,
i.e., 3, 5, 7, ….. are in A.P. with a = 3 and d = 2.
∴ nth term = a + (n – 1)d = 3 + (n – 1) 2 = (2n + 1)
Also, second factor in each term of the denominator,
i.e., 5, 7, 9, … are in A.P. with a = 5 and d = 2.
∴ nth term = a + (n – 1) d = 5 + (n – 1) 2 = (2n + 3)
∴ nth term, t_n = \(\frac{1}{(2 n+1)(2 n+3)}\)
P(n) ≡ \(\frac{1}{3.5}+\frac{1}{5.7}+\frac{1}{7.9}+\ldots+\frac{1}{(2 n+1)(2 n+3)}\) = \(\frac{n}{3(2 n+3)}\)

Step I:
Put n = 1
L.H.S. = \(\frac{1}{3.5}=\frac{1}{15}\)
R.H.S. = \(\frac{1}{3[2(1)+3]}=\frac{1}{3(2+3)}=\frac{1}{15}\)
∴ 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.
∴ \(\frac{1}{3.5}+\frac{1}{5.7}+\frac{1}{7.9}+\ldots+\frac{1}{(2 k+1)(2 k+3)}\) = \(\frac{k}{3(2 k+3)}\) ….(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.
∴ \(\frac{1}{3.5}+\frac{1}{5.7}+\frac{1}{7.9}+\ldots \text { to } n \text { terms }=\frac{n}{3(2 n+3)}\), for all n ∈ N.

(2³ⁿ – 1) is divisible by 7 if and only if (2³ⁿ – 1) is a multiple of 7.
Let P(n) ≡ (2³ⁿ – 1) = 7m, where m ∈ N.

Step I:
Put n = 1
∴ 2³ⁿ – 1 = 2³⁽¹⁾ – 1 = 2³ – 1 = 8 – 1 = 7
∴ (2³ⁿ – 1) is a multiple of 7.
∴ P(n) is true for n = 1.

Step II:
Let us assume that P(n) is true for n = k.
i.e., 2^3k – 1 is a multiple of 7.
∴ 2^3k – 1 = 7a, where a ∈ N
∴ 2^3k = 7a + 1 ……(i)

Step III:
We have to prove that P(n) is true for n = k + 1,
i.e., to prove that
2^3(k+1) – 1 = 7b, where b ∈ N.
∴ P(k + 1) = 2^3(k+1) – 1
= 2^3k+3 – 1
= 2^3k . (2³) – 1
= (7a + 1)8 – 1 …..[From (i)]
= 56a + 8 – 1
= 56a + 7
= 7(8a + 1)
7b, where b = (8a + 1) ∈ N
∴ 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.

∴ 2⁴⁽¹⁾ – 1 = 16 – 1 = 15
∴ (2⁴ⁿ – 1) is a multiple of 15.
∴ P(n) is true for n = 1.

Step II:
Let us assume that P(n) is true for n = k.
∴ 2^4k – 1 = 15a, where a ∈ N
∴ 2^4k = 15a + 1 …..(i)

Step III:
We have to prove that P(n) is true for n = k + 1,
i.e., to prove that
∴ 2^4(k+1) – 1 = 15b, where b ∈ N
∴ P(k + 1) = 2^4(k+1) – 1 = 2^4k+4 – 1
= 2^4k . 2⁴ – 1
= 16 . (2^4k) – 1
= 16(15a + 1) – 1 …..[From (i)]
= 240a + 16 – 1
= 240a + 15
= 15(16a + 1)
= 15b, where b = (16a + 1) ∈ N
∴ P(n) is true for n = k + 1.

Let P(n) ≡ (3ⁿ – 2n – 1) = 4m, where m ∈ N.

Step I:
Put n = 1
∴ (3ⁿ – 2n – 1) = 3⁽¹⁾ – 2(1) – 1 = 0 = 4(0)
∴ (3ⁿ – 2n – 1) is a multiple of 4.
∴ P(n) is tme for n = 1.

Step II:
Let us assume that P(n) is true for n = k.
∴ 3^k – 2k – 1 = 4a, where a ∈ N
∴ 3^k = 4a + 2k + 1 ….(i)

Step III:
We have to prove that P(n) is tme for n = k + 1,
i.e., to prove that
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
= (4a + 2k + 1) . 3 – 2k – 3 …….[From (i)]
= 12a + 6k + 3 – 2k – 3
= 12a + 4k
= 4(3a + k)
= 4b, where b = (3a + k) ∈ N
∴ P(n) is tme for n = k + 1.

Step I:
Put n = 1
L.H.S. = 5
R.H.S. = \(\frac{5}{4}\) (5¹ – 1) = 5
∴ 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.
∴ 5 + 5² + 5³ + ….. + 5^k = \(\frac{5}{4}\) (5^k – 1) …….(i)

Step I:
Put n = 1
L.H.S. = (cos θ + i sin θ)¹ = cos θ + i sin θ
R.H.S. = cos[(1)θ] + i sin[(1)θ] = cos θ + i sin θ
∴ 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.
∴ (cos θ + i sin θ)^k = cos kθ + i sin kθ …….(i)

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

Let the statement P(n) has L.H.S. a recurrence relation t_n+1 = 5 t_n+4, t₁ = 4 and R.H.S. a general statement t_n = 5ⁿ – 1.
Step I:
Put n = 1
L.H.S. = 4
R.H.S. = 5¹ – 1 = 4
∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
∴ P(n) is true for n = 1.
Put n = 2
L.H.S. = t₂ = 5t₁ + 4 = 24
R.H.S. = t₂ = 5² – 1 = 24
∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
∴ P(n) is true for n = 2.

Step II:
Let us assume that P(n) is true for n = k.
∴ t_k+1 = 5 t_k+4 and t_k = 5^k – 1

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
Since t_k+1 = 5 t_k+4 and t_k = 5^k – 1 …..[From Step II]
t_k+1 = 5 (5^k – 1) + 4 = 5^k+1 – 1
