1. Check whether the function f : R → R defined as f(x) = x3 is one-one or not.    
Answer: Let f(x1) = f(x2) for some x1, x2 ∈ R.
⇒ (x1)3 = (x2)3 ⇒ x13 – x23 = 0
⇒ (x1 – x2)(x12 + x22 + x1x2) = 0

How many reflexive relations are possible in a set A whose n(A) = 3 ?
Answer: Number of reflexive relations on a set having n
elements = 2n(n – 1)
So, required number of reflexive relations = 23(3 – 1) = 26

2. A relation R in S = {1, 2, 3} is defined as R = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (2, 2), (3, 3)}. Which element(s) of relation R be removed to make R an equivalence relation?
Answer: We have, R = {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (1, 2)}
which is reflexive and transitive.
For R to be symmetric (1, 2) should be removed from R.

3. A relation R in the set of real numbers R defined as R = {(a, b) : a = b} is a function or not. Justify
Answer: Since √a is not defined for a ∈ (–∞, 0)
∴ a = b is not a function.

OR

An equivalence relation R in A divides it into equivalence classes A1, A2, A3. What is the value of A1 ∪ A2 ∪ A3 and A1 ∩ A2 ∩ A3.
Answer: As we know that, union of all equivalence classes of a set is the set itself.
∴ A1 ∪ A2 ∪ A3 = A
Also, A1 ∩ A2 ∩ A3 = φ
[∴ Equivalence classes are either equal or disjoint]

4. If A and B are matrices of order 3 × n and m × 5 respectively, then find the order of matrix 5A – 3B, given that it is defined.
Answer: For addition or subtraction of two matrices to be defined, the two matrices should be of same order.
∴ 3 × n = m × 5 ⇒ m = 3 and n = 5
So, order of matrix (5A – 3B) is 3 × 5.

5. Find the value of A2, where A is a 2 × 2 matrix whose elements are given by

29. Check whether the relation R in the set Z of integers defined as R = {(a, b) : a + b is “divisible by 2”} is reflexive, symmetric or transitive. Write the equivalence class containing 0, i.e., [0].
Answer: (i) Reflexive :
Since, a + a = 2a which is even.
∴ (a, a) ∈ R ∀ a ∈ Z
Hence R is reflexive.
(ii) Symmetric:
If (a, b) ∈ R, then a + b = 2l ⇒ b + a = 2l
⇒ (b, a) ∈ R. Hence R is symmetric.
(iii) Transitive :
If (a, b) ∈ R and (b, c) ∈ R
then a + b = 2l …. (i) and b + c = 2m … (ii)
Adding (i) and (ii), we get
a + 2b + c = 2(l + m) ⇒ a + c = 2(l + m – b)
⇒ a + c = 2k, where k = l + m – b ⇒ (a, c) ∈ R
Hence R is transitive.
Equivalence class containing 0 i.e.,
[0] = {…, –4, –2, 0, 2, 4, …}

30. If y = exsin2 x + (six)x , find dy/dx .

⇒ dy/dx = exsin2 x [x.(2sin x cos x ) + sin2 x]
= exsin2x [x(sin2x) + sin2x] … (ii)
Also, v = (sinx)x
⇒ logv = xlog(sinx)
Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get
