FOREWORD
The National Curriculum Framework (NCF) 2005 initiated a new phase of development
of syllabi and textbooks for all stages of school education. Conscious effort has been
made to discourage rote learning and to diffuse sharp boundaries between different
subject areas. This is well in tune with the NPE 1986 and Learning Without Burden1993 that recommend child centred system of education. The textbooks for Classes
IX and XI were released in 2006 and for Classes X and XII in 2007. Overall the books
have been well received by students and teachers.
NCF2005 notes that treating the prescribed textbooks as the sole basis of
examination is one of the key reasons why other resources and sites of learning are
ignored. It further reiterates that the methods used for teaching and evaluation will
also determine how effective these textbooks proves for making childrens life at school
a happy experience, rather than source of stress or boredom. It calls for reform in
examination system currently prevailing in the country.
The position papers of the National Focus Groups on Teaching of Science,
Teaching of Mathematics and Examination Reform envisage that the mathematics
question papers, set in annual examinations conducted by the various Boards do not
really assess genuine understanding of the subjects. The quality of question papers is
often not up to the mark. They usually seek mere information based on rote
memorization, and fail to test higher-order skills like reasoning and analysis, let along
lateral thinking, creativity, and judgment. Good unconventional questions, challenging
problems and experiment-based problems rarely find a place in question papers. In
order to address to the issue, and also to provide additional learning material, the
Department of Education in Science and Mathematics (DESM) has made an attempt
to develop resource book of exemplar problems in different subjects at secondary and
higher-secondary stages. Each resource book contains different types of questions of
varying difficulty level. Some questions would require the students to apply
simultaneously understanding of more than one chapters/units. These problems are
not meant to serve merely as question bank for examinations but are primarily meant
to improve the quality of teaching/learning process in schools. It is expected that these
problems would encourage teachers to design quality questions on their own. Students
and teachers should always keep in mind that examination and assessment should test

comprehension, information recall, analytical thinking and problem-solving ability,


creativity and speculative ability.
A team of experts and teachers with an understanding of the subject and a
proper role of examination worked hard to accomplish this task. The material was
discussed, edited and finally included in this source book.
NCERT will welcome suggestions from students, teachers and parents which
would help us to further improve the quality of material in subsequent editions.

PREFACE
The Department of Education in Science and Mathematics (DESM), National
Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), initiated the
development of Exemplar Problems in science and mathematics for secondary
and higher secondary stages after completing the preparation of textbooks based
on National Curriculum Framework2005.
The main objective of the book on Exemplar Problems in Mathematics is to
provide the teachers and students a large number of quality problems with varying
cognitive levels to facilitate teaching learning of concepts in mathematics that are
presented through the textbook for Class XII. It is envisaged that the problems included
in this volume would help the teachers to design tasks to assess effectiveness of their
teaching and to know about the achievement of their students besides facilitating
preparation of balanced question papers for unit and terminal tests. The feedback
based on the analysis of students responses may help the teachers in further improving
the quality of classroom instructions. In addition, the problems given in this book are
also expected to help the teachers to perceive the basic characteristics of good quality
questions and motivate them to frame similar questions on their own. Students can
benefit themselves by attempting the exercises given in the book for self assessment
and also in mastering the basic techniques of problem solving. Some of the questions
given in the book are expected to challenge the understanding of the concepts of
mathematics of the students and their ability to applying them in novel situations.
The problems included in this book were prepared through a series of workshops
organised by the DESM for their development and refinement involving practicing
teachers, subject experts from universities and institutes of higher learning, and the
members of the mathematics group of the DESM whose names appear separately.
We gratefully acknowledge their efforts and thank them for their valuable contribution
in our endeavour to provide good quality instructional material for the school system.
I express my gratitude to Professor Krishna Kumar, Director and Professor
G. Ravindra, Joint Director, NCERT for their valuable motivation and guidiance from
time to time. Special thanks are also due to Dr. V. P. Singh, Reader in Mathematics,
DESM for coordinating the programme, taking pains in editing and refinement of problems
and for making the manuscript pressworthy.
We look forward to feedback from students, teachers and parents for further
improvement of the contents of this book.

RELATIONS AND FUNCTIONS


1.1 Overview
1.1.1 Relation
A relation R from a non-empty set A to a non empty set B is a subset of the Cartesian
product A B. The set of all first elements of the ordered pairs in a relation R from a
set A to a set B is called the domain of the relation R. The set of all second elements in
a relation R from a set A to a set B is called the range of the relation R. The whole set
B is called the codomain of the relation R. Note that range is always a subset of
codomain.
1.1.2 Types of Relations
A relation R in a set A is subset of A A. Thus empty set and A A are two extreme
relations.
(i) A relation R in a set A is called empty relation, if no element of A is related to any
element of A, i.e., R = A A.
(ii) A relation R in a set A is called universal relation, if each element of A is related
to every element of A, i.e., R = A A.
(iii) A relation R in A is said to be reflexive if aRa for all aA, R is symmetric if
aRb bRa, a, b A and it is said to be transitive if aRb and bRc aRc
a, b, c A. Any relation which is reflexive, symmetric and transitive is called
an equivalence relation.
Note: An important property of an equivalence relation is that it divides the set
into pairwise disjoint subsets called equivalent classes whose collection is called
a partition of the set. Note that the union of all equivalence classes gives
the whole set.

1.1.3 Types of Functions


(i) A function f : X Y is defined to be one-one (or injective), if the images of
distinct elements of X under f are distinct, i.e.,
x1 , x2 X, f (x1) = f (x2) x1 = x2.
(ii) A function f : X Y is said to be onto (or surjective), if every element of Y is the
image of some element of X under f, i.e., for every y Y there exists an element
x X such that f (x) = y.

MATHEMATICS

(iii) A function f : X Y is said to be one-one and onto (or bijective), if f is both oneone and onto.
1.1.4 Composition of Functions
(i) Let f : A B and g : B C be two functions. Then, the composition of f and
g, denoted by g o f, is defined as the function g o f : A C given by
(ii)
(iii)

(iv)
(v)

g o f (x) = g (f (x)), x A.
If f : A B and g : B C are one-one, then g o f : A C is also one-one
If f : A B and g : B C are onto, then g o f : A C is also onto.
However, converse of above stated results (ii) and (iii) need not be true. Moreover,
we have the following results in this direction.
Let f : A B and g : B C be the given functions such that g o f is one-one.
Then f is one-one.
Let f : A B and g : B C be the given functions such that g o f is onto. Then
g is onto.

1.1.5 Invertible Function


(i) A function f : X Y is defined to be invertible, if there exists a function
g : Y X such that g o f = Ix and f o g = IY. The function g is called the inverse
of f and is denoted by f 1.
(ii) A function f : X Y is invertible if and only if f is a bijective function.
(iii) If f : X Y, g : Y
h o (g o f) = (h o g) o f.

Z and h : Z S are functions, then

(iv) Let f : X Y and g : Y Z be two invertible functions. Then g o f is also


invertible with (g o f)1 = f 1 o g1.
1.1.6 Binary Operations
(i) A binary operation * on a set A is a function * : A A A. We denote * (a, b)
by a * b.
(ii) A binary operation * on the set X is called commutative, if a * b = b * a for every
a, b X.
(iii) A binary operation * : A A A is said to be associative if
(a * b) * c = a * (b * c), for every a, b, c A.
(iv) Given a binary operation * : A A A, an element e A, if it exists, is called
identity for the operation *, if a * e = a = e * a, a A.

RELATIONS AND FUNCTIONS

(v) Given a binary operation * : A A A, with the identity element e in A, an


element a A, is said to be invertible with respect to the operation *, if there
exists an element b in A such that a * b = e = b * a and b is called the inverse of
a and is denoted by a1.
1.2 Solved Examples
Short Answer (S.A.)
Example 1 Let A = {0, 1, 2, 3} and define a relation R on A as follows:
R = {(0, 0), (0, 1), (0, 3), (1, 0), (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 0), (3, 3)}.
Is R reflexive? symmetric? transitive?
Solution R is reflexive and symmetric, but not transitive since for (1, 0) R and
(0, 3) R whereas (1, 3) R.
Example 2 For the set A = {1, 2, 3}, define a relation R in the set A as follows:
R = {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (1, 3)}.
Write the ordered pairs to be added to R to make it the smallest equivalence relation.
Solution (3, 1) is the single ordered pair which needs to be added to R to make it the
smallest equivalence relation.
Example 3 Let R be the equivalence relation in the set Z of integers given by
R = {(a, b) : 2 divides a b}. Write the equivalence class [0].
Solution [0] = {0, 2, 4, 6,...}
Example 4 Let the function f : R R be defined by f (x) = 4x 1, x R. Then,
show that f is one-one.
Solution For any two elements x1, x2 R such that f (x1) = f (x2), we have
4x1 1 = 4x2 1

4x1 = 4x2, i.e., x1 = x2

Hence f is one-one.
Example 5 If f = {(5, 2), (6, 3)}, g = {(2, 5), (3, 6)}, write f o g.
Solution f o g = {(2, 2), (3, 3)}
Example 6 Let f : R R be the function defined by f (x) = 4x 3 x R. Then
write f 1.

MATHEMATICS

Solution

Given that f (x) = 4x 3 = y (say), then


4x = y + 3

x=

Hence

y +3
4

(y) =

y +3
4

(x) =

y +3
4

Example 7 Is the binary operation * defined on Z (set of integer) by


m * n = m n + mn m, n Z commutative?
Solution No. Since for 1, 2 Z, 1 * 2 = 1 2 + 1.2 = 1 while 2 * 1 = 2 1 + 2.1 = 3
so that 1 * 2 2 * 1.
Example 8 If f = {(5, 2), (6, 3)} and g = {(2, 5), (3, 6)}, write the range of f and g.
Solution The range of f = {2, 3} and the range of g = {5, 6}.
Example 9 If A = {1, 2, 3} and f, g are relations corresponding to the subset of A A
indicated against them, which of f, g is a function? Why?
f = {(1, 3), (2, 3), (3, 2)}
g = {(1, 2), (1, 3), (3, 1)}
Solution f is a function since each element of A in the first place in the ordered pairs
is related to only one element of A in the second place while g is not a function because
1 is related to more than one element of A, namely, 2 and 3.
Example 10 If A = {a, b, c, d} and f = {a, b), (b, d), (c, a), (d, c)}, show that f is oneone from A onto A. Find f 1.
Solution f is one-one since each element of A is assigned to distinct element of the set
A. Also, f is onto since f (A) = A. Moreover, f 1 = {(b, a), (d, b), (a, c), (c, d)}.
Example 11 In the set N of natural numbers, define the binary operation * by m * n =
g.c.d (m, n), m, n N. Is the operation * commutative and associative?
Solution The operation is clearly commutative since
m * n = g.c.d (m, n) = g.c.d (n, m) = n * m m, n N.
It is also associative because for l, m, n N, we have
l * (m * n) = g. c. d (l, g.c.d (m, n))
= g.c.d. (g. c. d (l, m), n)
= (l * m) * n.

RELATIONS AND FUNCTIONS

Long Answer (L.A.)


Example 12 In the set of natural numbers N, define a relation R as follows:
n, m N, nRm if on division by 5 each of the integers n and m leaves the remainder
less than 5, i.e. one of the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4. Show that R is equivalence relation.
Also, obtain the pairwise disjoint subsets determined by R.
Solution R is reflexive since for each a N, aRa. R is symmetric since if aRb, then
bRa for a, b N. Also, R is transitive since for a, b, c N, if aRb and bRc, then aRc.
Hence R is an equivalence relation in N which will partition the set N into the pairwise
disjoint subsets. The equivalent classes are as mentioned below:
A0 = {5, 10, 15, 20 ...}
A1 = {1, 6, 11, 16, 21 ...}
A2 = {2, 7, 12, 17, 22, ...}
A3 = {3, 8, 13, 18, 23, ...}
A4 = {4, 9, 14, 19, 24, ...}
It is evident that the above five sets are pairwise disjoint and
4

A0 A1 A2 A3 A 4 = A i = N .
i =0

Example 13 Show that the function f : R R defined by f (x) =

x
, xR , is
x +1
2

neither one-one nor onto.


Solution For x1, x2 R, consider
f (x1) = f (x2)

x1
x
= 22
+1 x2 +1

x12

x1 x22 + x1 = x2 x12 + x2
x1 x2 (x2 x1) = x2 x1
x1 = x2 or x1 x2 = 1
We note that there are point, x1 and x2 with x1 x2 and f (x1) = f (x2), for instance, if

1
2
2
1
, then we have f (x1) = and f (x2) =
but 2 . Hence
2
5
5
2
f is not one-one. Also, f is not onto for if so then for 1R x R such that f (x) = 1
we take x1 = 2 and x2 =

MATHEMATICS

which gives

x
=1 . But there is no such x in the domain R, since the equation
x +1
2

x2 x + 1 = 0 does not give any real value of x.


Example 14 Let f, g : R R be two functions defined as f (x) = x + x and
g (x) = x x x R. Then, find f o g and g o f.
Solution Here f (x) = x + x which can be redefined as
2 x if x 0
f (x) =
0 if x < 0

Similarly, the function g defined by g (x) = x x may be redefined as


0 if x 0
g (x) =
2 x if x < 0

Therefore, g o f gets defined as :


For x 0, (g o f ) (x) = g (f (x) = g (2x) = 0
and for x < 0, (g o f ) (x) = g (f (x) = g (0) = 0.
Consequently, we have (g o f ) (x) = 0, x R.
Similarly, f o g gets defined as:
For x 0, (f o g ) (x) = f (g (x) = f (0) = 0,
and for x < 0, (f o g ) (x) = f (g(x)) = f (2 x) = 4x.
i.e.

0, x > 0
( f o g ) ( x) =
4 x , x < 0

Example 15 Let R be the set of real numbers and f : R R be the function defined
by f (x) = 4x + 5. Show that f is invertible and find f 1.
Solution Here the function f : R R is defined as f (x) = 4x + 5 = y (say). Then
4x = y 5

or

x=

y 5
.

RELATIONS AND FUNCTIONS

This leads to a function g : R R defined as


g (y) =
Therefore,

y 5
.
4

( g o f ) (x) = g(f (x) = g (4x + 5)


=

or
Similarly

4x + 5 5
= x

g o f = IR
(f o g) (y) = f (g(y))

y 5
= f

4
y 5
= 4
+5 = y

or

f o g = IR .

Hence f is invertible and f 1 = g which is given by

Example 16 Let * be a binary operation defined on Q. Find which of the following


binary operations are associative
(i) a * b = a b for a, b Q.

ab
for a, b Q.
(ii) a * b =
4
(iii) a * b = a b + ab for a, b Q.
(iv) a * b = ab2 for a, b Q.
Solution
(i) * is not associative for if we take a = 1, b = 2 and c = 3, then
(a * b) * c = (1 * 2) * 3 = (1 2) * 3 = 1 3 = 4 and
a * (b * c) = 1 * (2 * 3) = 1 * (2 3) = 1 ( 1) = 2.

MATHEMATICS

Thus (a * b) * c a * (b * c) and hence * is not associative.


(ii) * is associative since Q is associative with respect to multiplication.
(iii) * is not associative for if we take a = 2, b = 3 and c = 4, then
(a * b) * c = (2 * 3) * 4 = (2 3 + 6) * 4 = 5 * 4 = 5 4 + 20 = 21, and
a * (b * c) = 2 * (3 * 4) = 2 * (3 4 + 12) = 2 * 11 = 2 11 + 22 = 13
Thus (a * b) * c a * (b * c) and hence * is not associative.
(iv) * is not associative for if we take a = 1, b = 2 and c = 3, then (a * b) * c =
(1 * 2) * 3 = 4 * 3 = 4 9 = 36 and a * (b * c) = 1 * (2 * 3) = 1 * 18 =
1 182 = 324.
Thus (a * b) * c a * (b * c) and hence * is not associative.

INVERSE TRIGONOMETRIC
FUNCTIONS
2.1 Overview
2.1.1 Inverse function
Inverse of a function f exists, if the function is one-one and onto, i.e, bijective.
Since trigonometric functions are many-one over their domains, we restrict their
domains and co-domains in order to make them one-one and onto and then find
their inverse. The domains and ranges (principal value branches) of inverse
trigonometric functions are given below:
Functions
Domain
Range (Principal value
branches)
y = sin1x

[1,1]

y = cos1x

[1,1]

y = cosec1x

y = cot1x

Notes:
(i) The symbol sin1x should not be confused with (sinx)1. Infact sin1x is an
angle, the value of whose sine is x, similarly for other trigonometric functions.
(ii) The smallest numerical value, either positive or negative, of is called the
principal value of the function.

INVERSE TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS

19

(iii) Whenever no branch of an inverse trigonometric function is mentioned, we mean


the principal value branch. The value of the inverse trigonometic function which
lies in the range of principal branch is its principal value.
2.1.2 Graph of an inverse trigonometric function
The graph of an inverse trigonometric function can be obtained from the graph of
original function by interchanging x-axis and y-axis, i.e, if (a, b) is a point on the graph
of trigonometric function, then (b, a) becomes the corresponding point on the graph of
its inverse trigonometric function.
It can be shown that the graph of an inverse function can be obtained from the
corresponding graph of original function as a mirror image (i.e., reflection) along the
line y = x.

Matrices
3.1 Overview
3.1.1

A matrix is an ordered rectangular array of numbers (or functions). For example,

x 4 3
A= 4 3 x
3 x 4
The numbers (or functions) are called the elements or the entries of the matrix.
The horizontal lines of elements are said to constitute rows of the matrix and the
vertical lines of elements are said to constitute columns of the matrix.
3.1.2

Order of a Matrix

A matrix having m rows and n columns is called a matrix of order m n or simply


m n matrix (read as an m by n matrix).
In the above example, we have A as a matrix of order 3 3 i.e.,
3 3 matrix.
In general, an m n matrix has the following rectangular array :

A = [aij]m n

a11

=

am1

a12
a22
am 2

a1n
a23 a2 n
1 i m, 1 j n i, j N.

am3 amn m n
a13

The element, aij is an element lying in the ith row and jth column and is known as the
(i, j)th element of A. The number of elements in an m n matrix will be equal to mn.
3.1.3

Types of Matrices
(i)

A matrix is said to be a row matrix if it has only one row.

MATRICES

(ii)

43

A matrix is said to be a column matrix if it has only one column.

(iii) A matrix in which the number of rows are equal to the number of columns,
is said to be a square matrix. Thus, an m n matrix is said to be a square
matrix if m = n and is known as a square matrix of order n.
(iv) A square matrix B = [bij]nn is said to be a diagonal matrix if its all non
diagonal elements are zero, that is a matrix B = [bij]nn is said to be a
diagonal matrix if bij = 0, when i j.
(v)

A diagonal matrix is said to be a scalar matrix if its diagonal elements are


equal, that is, a square matrix B = [bij]nn is said to be a scalar matrix if
bij = 0, when i j
bij = k, when i = j, for some constant k.

(vi) A square matrix in which elements in the diagonal are all 1 and rest are
all zeroes is called an identity matrix.
In other words, the square matrix A = [aij]nn is an identity matrix, if
aij = 1, when i = j and aij = 0, when i j.
(vii) A matrix is said to be zero matrix or null matrix if all its elements are
zeroes. We denote zero matrix by O.
(ix) Two matrices A = [aij] and B = [bij] are said to be equal if
(a) they are of the same order, and
(b) each element of A is equal to the corresponding element of B, that is,
aij = bij for all i and j.
3.1.4

Additon of Matrices

Two matrices can be added if they are of the same order.


3.1.5

Multiplication of Matrix by a Scalar

If A = [aij] mn is a matrix and k is a scalar, then kA is another matrix which is obtained


by multiplying each element of A by a scalar k, i.e. kA = [kaij]mn
3.1.6

Negative of a Matrix

The negative of a matrix A is denoted by A. We define A = (1)A.


3.1.7

Multiplication of Matrices

The multiplication of two matrices A and B is defined if the number of columns of A is


equal to the number of rows of B.

44

MATHEMATICS

Let A = [aij] be an m n matrix and B = [bjk] be an n p matrix. Then the product of


the matrices A and B is the matrix C of order m p. To get the
(i, k)th element cik of the matrix C, we take the ith row of A and kth column of B,
multiply them elementwise and take the sum of all these products i.e.,
cik = ai1 b1k + ai2 b2k + ai3 b3k + ... + ain bnk
The matrix C = [cik]mp is the product of A and B.
Notes:

3.1.8

1.

If AB is defined, then BA need not be defined.

2.

If A, B are, respectively m n, k l matrices, then both AB and BA are


defined if and only if n = k and l = m.

3.

If AB and BA are both defined, it is not necessary that AB = BA.

4.

If the product of two matrices is a zero matrix, it is not necessary that


one of the matrices is a zero matrix.

5.

For three matrices A, B and C of the same order, if A = B, then


AC = BC, but converse is not true.

6.

A. A = A2, A. A. A = A3, so on

Transpose of a Matrix
1.

If A = [aij] be an m n matrix, then the matrix obtained by interchanging


the rows and columns of A is called the transpose of A.
Transpose of the matrix A is denoted by A or (AT). In other words, if
A = [aij]mn, then AT = [aji]nm.

2.

Properties of transpose of the matrices

For any matrices A and B of suitable orders, we have


(i) (AT)T = A,
(ii) (kA)T = kAT (where k is any constant)
(iii) (A + B)T = AT + BT
(iv) (AB)T = BT AT
3.1.9

Symmetric Matrix and Skew Symmetric Matrix


(i)

A square matrix A = [aij] is said to be symmetric if AT = A, that is,


aij = aji for all possible values of i and j.

MATRICES

(ii)

45

A square matrix A = [aij] is said to be skew symmetric matrix if AT = A,


that is aji = aij for all possible values of i and j.

Note : Diagonal elements of a skew symmetric matrix are zero.


(iii) Theorem 1: For any square matrix A with real number entries, A + AT is
a symmetric matrix and A AT is a skew symmetric matrix.
(iv) Theorem 2: Any square matrix A can be expressed as the sum of a
symmetric matrix and a skew symmetric matrix, that is
A=

(A + A T ) (A A T )

3.1.10 Invertible Matrices


(i)

If A is a square matrix of order m m, and if there exists another square


matrix B of the same order m m, such that AB = BA = Im, then, A is said
to be invertible matrix and B is called the inverse matrix of A and it is
denoted by A1.

Note :
1.

A rectangular matrix does not possess its inverse, since for the products
BA and AB to be defined and to be equal, it is necessary that matrices A
and B should be square matrices of the same order.

2.

If B is the inverse of A, then A is also the inverse of B.

(ii)

Theorem 3 (Uniqueness of inverse) Inverse of a square matrix, if it


exists, is unique.

(iii) Theorem 4 : If A and B are invertible matrices of same order, then


(AB)1 = B1A1.
3.1.11 Inverse of a Matrix using Elementary Row or Column Operations
To find A1 using elementary row operations, write A = IA and apply a sequence of
row operations on (A = IA) till we get, I = BA. The matrix B will be the inverse of A.
Similarly, if we wish to find A1 using column operations, then, write A = AI and apply a
sequence of column operations on A = AI till we get, I = AB.
Note : In case, after applying one or more elementary row (or column) operations on
A = IA (or A = AI), if we obtain all zeros in one or more rows of the matrix A on L.H.S.,
then A1 does not exist.

which of the sums A + B, B + C, C + D and B + D is defined?


Solution Only B + D is defined since matrices of the same order can only be added.
Example 3 Show that a matrix which is both symmetric and skew symmetric is a zero
matrix.
Solution Let A = [aij] be a matrix which is both symmetric and skew symmetric.
Since A is a skew symmetric matrix, so A = A.
Thus for all i and j, we have aij = aji.

(1)

Again, since A is a symmetric matrix, so A = A.


Thus, for all i and j, we have
aji = aij
Therefore, from (1) and (2), we get
aij = aij for all i and j
or

2aij = 0,

i.e.,

aij = 0 for all i and j. Hence A is a zero matrix.

DETERMINANTS
4.1

Overview

To every square matrix A = [aij] of order n, we can associate a number (real or complex)
called determinant of the matrix A, written as det A, where aij is the (i, j)th element of A.
If A

a b
, then determinant of A, denoted by |A| (or det A), is given by
c d

|A| =

= ad bc.

Remarks
(i)

Only square matrices have determinants.

(ii)

For a matrix A, A is read as determinant of A and not, as modulus of A.

4.1.1 Determinant of a matrix of order one


Let A = [a] be the matrix of order 1, then determinant of A is defined to be equal to a.

4.1.2 Determinant of a matrix of order two


a b
Let A = [aij] =
be a matrix of order 2. Then the determinant of A is defined
c d
as: det (A) = |A| = ad bc.

4.1.3 Determinant of a matrix of order three


The determinant of a matrix of order three can be determined by expressing it in terms
of second order determinants which is known as expansion of a determinant along a
row (or a column). There are six ways of expanding a determinant of order 3
corresponding to each of three rows (R1, R2 and R3) and three columns (C1, C2 and
C3) and each way gives the same value.

66

Consider the determinant of a square matrix A = [aij]33, i.e.,

a11
a21
a31

a12
a22
a32

a13
a23
a33

Expanding |A| along C1, we get

Remark In general, if A = kB, where A and B are square matrices of order n, then
|A| = kn |B|, n = 1, 2, 3.

4.1.4 Properties of Determinants


For any square matrix A, |A| satisfies the following properties.
(i)

|A| = |A|, where A = transpose of matrix A.

(ii)

If we interchange any two rows (or columns), then sign of the determinant
changes.

(iii)

If any two rows or any two columns in a determinant are identical (or
proportional), then the value of the determinant is zero.

(iv)

Multiplying a determinant by k means multiplying the elements of only one row


(or one column) by k.

(v)

If we multiply each element of a row (or a column) of a determinant by constant


k, then value of the determinant is multiplied by k.

(vi)

If elements of a row (or a column) in a determinant can be expressed as the


sum of two or more elements, then the given determinant can be expressed as
the sum of two or more determinants.

DETERMINANTS

(vii)

67

If to each element of a row (or a column) of a determinant the equimultiples of


corresponding elements of other rows (columns) are added, then value of
determinant remains same.

Notes:
(i) If all the elements of a row (or column) are zeros, then the value of the determinant
is zero.
(ii) If value of determinant becomes zero by substituting x = , then x is a
factor of .
(iii) If all the elements of a determinant above or below the main diagonal consists of
zeros, then the value of the determinant is equal to the product of diagonal
elements.

4.1.6 Minors and co-factors


(i)

Minor of an element aij of the determinant of matrix A is the determinant obtained


by deleting ith row and jth column, and it is denoted by Mij.

(ii)

Co-factor of an element aij is given by Aij = (1)i+j Mij.

(iii)

Value of determinant of a matrix A is obtained by the sum of products of elements


of a row (or a column) with corresponding co-factors. For example
|A| = a11 A11 + a12 A12 + a13 A13.

(iv)

If elements of a row (or column) are multiplied with co-factors of elements of


any other row (or column), then their sum is zero. For example,
a11 A21 + a12 A22 + a13 A23 = 0.

4.1.7 Adjoint and inverse of a matrix


(i)

The adjoint of a square matrix A = [aij]nn is defined as the transpose of the matrix

68

MATHEMATICS

[aij]nn, where Aij is the co-factor of the element aij. It is denoted by adj A.

A 33

(ii)

A (adj A) = (adj A) A = |A| I, where A is square matrix of order n.

(iii)

A square matrix A is said to be singular or non-singular according as |A| = 0 or


|A| 0, respectively.

(iv)

If A is a square matrix of order n, then |adj A| = |A|n1.

(v)

If A and B are non-singular matrices of the same order, then AB and BA are
also nonsingular matrices of the same order.

(vi)

The determinant of the product of matrices is equal to product of their respective


determinants, that is, |AB| = |A| |B|.

(vii)

If AB = BA = I, where A and B are square matrices, then B is called inverse of


A and is written as B = A1. Also B1 = (A1)1 = A.

(viii) A square matrix A is invertible if and only if A is non-singular matrix.


(ix)

If A is an invertible matrix, then A1 =

4.1.8 System of linear equations


(i)

Consider the equations:

a1x + b1 y + c1 z = d1

If |A| 0, then there exists unique solution.

(b)

If |A| = 0 and (adj A) B 0, then there exists no solution.

Example 6 Prove that (A1) = (A)1, where A is an invertible matrix.


Solution Since A is an invertible matrix, so it is non-singular.
We know that |A| = |A|. But |A| 0. So |A| 0

i.e. A is invertible matrix.

Now we know that AA1 = A1 A = I.


Taking transpose on both sides, we get (A1) A = A (A1) = (I) = I
Hence (A1) is inverse of A, i.e., (A)1 = (A1)

Overview

5.1.1 Continuity of a function at a point


Let f be a real function on a subset of the real numbers and let c be a point in the
domain of f. Then f is continuous at c if
lim f ( x) = f (c)
x c

More elaborately, if the left hand limit, right hand limit and the value of the function
at x = c exist and are equal to each other, i.e.,
lim f ( x)
x

f (c) lim f ( x)

then f is said to be continuous at x = c.

5.1.2 Continuity in an interval


(i) f is said to be continuous in an open interval (a, b) if it is continuous at every
point in this interval.
(ii) f is said to be continuous in the closed interval [a, b] if

5.1.11 Exponential and logarithmic functions


(i) The exponential function with positive base b > 1 is the function
y = f (x) = bx. Its domain is R, the set of all real numbers and range is the set
of all positive real numbers. Exponential function with base 10 is called the
common exponential function and with base e is called the natural exponential
function.
(ii) Let b > 1 be a real number. Then we say logarithm of a to base b is x if bx=a,
Logarithm of a to the base b is denoted by logb a. If the base b = 10, we say
it is common logarithm and if b = e, then we say it is natural logarithms. logx
denotes the logarithm function to base e. The domain of logarithm function
is R+, the set of all positive real numbers and the range is the set of all real
numbers.
(iii) The properties of logarithmic function to any base b > 1 are listed below:
1. logb (xy) = logb x + logb y

6.1.4 Increasing/decreasing functions


A continuous function in an interval (a, b) is :
(i)
strictly increasing if for all x1, x2 (a, b), x1< x2 f (x1) < f (x2) or for all
x (a, b), f (x) > 0
(ii)
strictly decreasing if for all x1, x2 (a, b), x1 < x2 f (x1) > f (x2) or for all
x (a, b), f (x) < 0
6.1.5 Theorem : Let f be a continuous function on [a, b] and differentiable in (a, b) then
(i) f is increasing in [a, b] if f (x) > 0 for each x (a, b)
(ii) f is decreasing in [a, b] if f (x) < 0 for each x (a, b)
(iii) f is a constant function in [a, b] if f (x) = 0 for each x (a, b).
6.1.6 Maxima and minima
Local Maximum/Local Minimum for a real valued function f
A point c in the interior of the domain of f, is called
(i)

local maxima, if there exists an h > 0 , such that f (c) > f (x), for all x in
(c h, c + h).

The value f (c) is called the local maximum value of f .


(ii)

local minima if there exists an h > 0 such that f (c) < f (x), for all x in
(c h, c + h).

The value f (c) is called the local minimum value of f.


A function f defined over [a, b] is said to have maximum (or absolute maximum) at
x = c, c [a, b], if f (x) f (c) for all x [a, b].
Similarly, a function f (x) defined over [a, b] is said to have a minimum [or absolute
minimum] at x = d, if f (x) f (d) for all x [a, b].
6.1.7 Critical point of f : A point c in the domain of a function f at which either
f (c) = 0 or f is not differentiable is called a critical point of f.
Working rule for finding points of local maxima or local minima:
(a)

First derivative test:


(i)

If f (x) changes sign from positive to negative as x increases through


c, then c is a point of local maxima, and f (c) is local maximum value.

APPLICATION OF DERIVATIVES

(b)

6.1.8

119

(ii)

If f (x) changes sign from negative to positive as x increases through


c, then c is a point of local minima, and f (c) is local minimum value.

(iii)

If f (x) does not change sign as x increases through c, then c is


neither a point of local minima nor a point of local maxima. Such a
point is called a point of inflection.

Second Derivative test: Let f be a function defined on an interval I and


c I. Let f be twice differentiable at c. Then
(i)

x = c is a point of local maxima if f (c) = 0 and f (c) < 0. In this case


f (c) is then the local maximum value.

(ii)

x = c is a point of local minima if f (c) = 0 and f (c) > 0. In this case


f (c) is the local minimum value.

(iii)

The test fails if f (c) = 0 and f (c) = 0. In this case, we go back to


first derivative test.

Working rule for finding absolute maxima and or absolute minima :


Step 1 : Find all the critical points of f in the given interval.
Step 2 : At all these points and at the end points of the interval, calculate the
values of f.
Step 3 : Identify the maximum and minimum values of f out of the values
calculated in step 2. The maximum value will be the absolute maximum
value of f and the minimum value will be the absolute minimum
value of f.

INTEGRALS
7.1 Overview

d
F (x) = f (x). Then, we write f ( x ) dx = F (x) + C. These integrals are
dx
called indefinite integrals or general integrals, C is called a constant of integration. All
these integrals differ by a constant.

7.1.1

Let

7.1.2

If two functions differ by a constant, they have the same derivative.

7.1.3

Geometrically, the statement

f ( x ) dx = F (x) + C = y (say) represents a

family of curves. The different values of C correspond to different members of this


family and these members can be obtained by shifting any one of the curves parallel to
itself. Further, the tangents to the curves at the points of intersection of a line x = a with
the curves are parallel.
7.1.4
(i)

Some properties of indefinite integrals


The process of differentiation and integration are inverse of each other,

d
f ( x ) dx = f ( x ) and
dx
arbitrary constant.
i.e.,

(ii)

f ' ( x ) dx = f ( x ) + C ,

Two indefinite integrals with the same derivative lead to the same family of
curves and so they are equivalent. So if f and g are two functions such that

d

f ( x ) dx =
g ( x) dx , then

(iii)

where C is any

f ( x ) dx

and

g ( x ) dx are equivalent.

The integral of the sum of two functions equals the sum of the integrals of
the functions i.e.,

( f ( x ) + g ( x ) ) dx = f ( x ) dx + g ( x ) dx .

MATHEMATICS

(iv)

A constant factor may be written either before or after the integral sign, i.e.,

a f ( x ) dx = a f ( x ) dx , where a is a constant.
(v)

(k

Properties (iii) and (iv) can be generalised to a finite number of functions


f1, f2, ..., fn and the real numbers, k1, k2, ..., kn giving
f ( x ) + k2 f 2 ( x ) + ...+, kn f n ( x ) ) dx = k1 f1 ( x ) dx + k2 f 2 ( x ) dx + ... + kn f n ( x ) dx

Methods of integration

There are some methods or techniques for finding the integral where we can not
directly select the antiderivative of function f by reducing them into standard forms.
Some of these methods are based on

Integration by substitution
2.
Integration using partial fractions
3.
Integration by parts.

DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS
9.1 Overview
(i)

An equation involving derivative (derivatives) of the dependent variable with


respect to independent variable (variables) is called a differential equation.

(ii)

A differential equation involving derivatives of the dependent variable with


respect to only one independent variable is called an ordinary differential
equation and a differential equation involving derivatives with respect to more
than one independent variables is called a partial differential equation.

(iii)

Order of a differential equation is the order of the highest order derivative


occurring in the differential equation.

(iv)

Degree of a differential equation is defined if it is a polynomial equation in its


derivatives.

(v)

Degree (when defined) of a differential equation is the highest power (positive


integer only) of the highest order derivative in it.

(vi)

A relation between involved variables, which satisfy the given differential


equation is called its solution. The solution which contains as many arbitrary
constants as the order of the differential equation is called the general solution
and the solution free from arbitrary constants is called particular solution.

(vii)

To form a differential equation from a given function, we differentiate the


function successively as many times as the number of arbitrary constants in the
given function and then eliminate the arbitrary constants.

(viii) The order of a differential equation representing a family of curves is same as


the number of arbitrary constants present in the equation corresponding to the
family of curves.
(ix) Variable separable method is used to solve such an equation in which variables
can be separated completely, i.e., terms containing x should remain with dx and
terms containing y should remain with dy.

180 MATHEMATICS

(x)

A function F (x, y) is said to be a homogeneous function of degree n if


F (x, y )= n F (x, y) for some non-zero constant .

(xi)

A differential equation which can be expressed in the form

dy
= F (x, y) or
dx

dx
= G (x, y), where F (x, y) and G (x, y) are homogeneous functions of degree
dy

zero, is called a homogeneous differential equation.

dy
= F (x, y), we make
dx
substitution y = vx and to solve a homogeneous differential equation of the type

(xii) To solve a homogeneous differential equation of the type

dx
= G (x, y), we make substitution x = vy.
dy

dy
+ Py = Q, where P and Q are constants or
dx
functions of x only is known as a first order linear differential equation. Solution

(xiii) A differential equation of the form

of such a differential equation is given by y (I.F.) =

( Q I.F.) dx + C, where

Pdx
I.F. (Integrating Factor) = e .

(xiv) Another form of first order linear differential equation is

dx
+ P1x = Q1, where
dy

P1 and Q1 are constants or functions of y only. Solution of such a differential


equation is given by x (I.F.) =

( Q1 I.F.) dy + C, where I.F. = e P dy .

10.1 Overview
10.1.1 A quantity that has magnitude as well as direction is called a vector.
a
10.1.2 The unit vector in the direction of a is given by | a | and is represented by a .

10.1.3 Position vector of a point P (x, y, z) is given as OP = x i + y j+ z k and its


magnitude as | OP | = x 2 + y 2 + z 2 , where O is the origin.
10.1.4 The scalar components of a vector are its direction ratios, and represent its
projections along the respective axes.
10.1.5 The magnitude r, direction ratios (a, b, c) and direction cosines (l, m, n) of any
vector are related as:

10.1.6 The sum of the vectors representing the three sides of a triangle taken in order is 0
10.1.7 The triangle law of vector addition states that If two vectors are represented
by two sides of a triangle taken in order, then their sum or resultant is given by the third
side taken in opposite order.
10.1.8 Scalar multiplication
If a is a given vector and a scalar, then a is a vector whose magnitude is | a | = ||
| a |. The direction of a is same as that of a if is positive and, opposite to that of a if
is negative.

10.2 Solved Examples


Short Answer (S.A.)
Example 1 Find the unit vector in the direction of the sum of the vectors
a = 2 i j + 2 k and b = i + j + 3 k .
Solution Let c denote the sum of a and b . We have
c = (2 i j + 2 k) + (i + j + 3 k) = i + 5 k

Now | c | = 12 + 52 = 26 .

Example 2 Find a vector of magnitude 11 in the direction opposite to that of PQ ,


where P and Q are the points (1, 3, 2) and (1, 0, 8), respetively.
Solution The vector with initial point P (1, 3, 2) and terminal point Q (1, 0, 8) is given by

PQ = ( 1 1) i + (0 3) j + (8 2) k = 2 i 3 j + 6 k
Thus

Q P = P Q = 2 i + 3 j 6 k
| QP | = 22 + 32 + (6) 2 = 4 + 9 + 36 = 49 = 7

Therefore, unit vector in the direction of Q P is given by

Example 4 If the points (1, 1, 2), (2, m, 5) and (3,11, 6) are collinear, find the value of m.
Solution Let the given points be A (1, 1, 2), B (2, m, 5) and C (3, 11, 6). Then
A B = (2 + 1) i + (m + 1) j + (5 2) k = 3 i + (m + 1) j + 3k
A C = (3 + 1) i + (11 + 1) j + (6 2) k

and

= 4 i + 12 j + 4k .

Since A, B, C, are collinear, we have A B = A C , i.e.,


( 3 i (m 1) j 3k) (4i +12 j + 4k)

Therefore

3 = 4 and m + 1 = 12
m = 8.

2 ( + 1) ( + 3) (2 + 1) = 0

Example 8 Using vectors, prove that cos (A B) = cosA cosB + sinA sinB.
Solution Let OP and OQ be unit vectors making angles A and B, respectively, with

Example 10 Find the angle between the lines whose direction cosines are given by

Solution Eliminating m from the given two equations, we get

(n + l) (2n + l) = 0

either n = l or l = 2n

Now if

l = n, then m = 2n

Thus the direction ratios of two lines are proportional to n, 2n, n and 2n, n, n,

But the direction ratios of given line which is perpendicular to PL are 1, 2, 3. Therefore,

Since Q lies on the line PQ, the position vector of Q can be expressed as

Since R is the mid point of PQ, the position vector of R is

LINEAR PROGRAMMING
12.1 Overview
12.1.1 An Optimisation Problem A problem which seeks to maximise or minimise a
function is called an optimisation problem. An optimisation problem may
involve maximisation of profit, production etc or minimisation of cost, from available
resources etc.
12.1.2 A Linnear Programming Problem (LPP)
A linear programming problem deals with the optimisation (maximisation/
minimisation) of a linear function of two variables (say x and y) known as objective
function subject to the conditions that the variables are non-negative and satisfy a set
of linear inequalities (called linear constraints). A linear programming problem is a
special type of optimisation problem.
12.1.3 Objective Function Linear function Z = ax + by, where a and b are constants,
which has to be maximised or minimised is called a linear objective function.
12.1.4 Decision Variables In the objective function Z = ax + by, x and y are called
decision variables.
12.1.5 Constraints The linear inequalities or restrictions on the variables of an LPP
are called constraints. The conditions x 0, y 0 are called non-negative constraints.
12.1.6 Feasible Region The common region determined by all the constraints including
non-negative constraints x 0, y 0 of an LPP is called the feasible region for the
problem.
12.1.7 Feasible Solutions Points within and on the boundary of the feasible region
for an LPP represent feasible solutions.
12.1.8 Infeasible Solutions Any Point outside feasible region is called an infeasible
solution.
12.1.9 Optimal (feasible) Solution Any point in the feasible region that gives the
optimal value (maximum or minimum) of the objective function is called an optimal
solution.
Following theorems are fundamental in solving LPPs.

242 MATHEMATICS

LINEAR INEQUALITIES 242

12.1.10 Theorem 1 Let R be the feasible region (convex polygon) for an LPP and let
Z = ax + by be the objective function. When Z has an optimal value (maximum or
minimum), where x and y are subject to constraints described by linear inequalities,
this optimal value must occur at a corner point (vertex) of the feasible region.
Theorem 2 Let R be the feasible region for a LPP and let Z = ax + by be the objective
function. If R is bounded, then the objective function Z has both a maximum and a
minimum value on R and each of these occur at a corner point of R.
If the feasible region R is unbounded, then a maximum or a minimum value
of the objective function may or may not exist. However, if it exits, it must occur at a
corner point of R.
12.1.11 Corner point method for solving a LPP
The method comprises of the following steps :
(1) Find the feasible region of the LPP and determine its corner points (vertices)
either by inspection or by solving the two equations of the lines intersecting at
that point.
(2) Evaluate the objective function Z = ax + by at each corner point.
Let M and m, respectively denote the largest and the smallest values of Z.
(3) (i) When the feasible region is bounded, M and m are, respectively, the
maximum and minimum values of Z.
(ii) In case, the feasible region is unbounded.
(a) M is the maximum value of Z, if the open half plane determined by
ax + by > M has no point in common with the feasible region. Otherwise, Z has
no maximum value.
(b) Similarly, m is the minimum of Z, if the open half plane determined by
ax + by < m has no point in common with the feasible region. Otherwise, Z has
no minimum value.
12.1.12 Multiple optimal points If two corner points of the feasible region are optimal
solutions of the same type, i.e., both produce the same maximum or minimum, then
any point on the line segment joining these two points is also an optimal solution of
the same type.

12.2 Solved Examples


Short Answer (S.A.)
Example 1 Determine the maximum value of Z = 4x + 3y if the feasible region for an
LPP is shown in Fig. 12.1.

LINEAR PROGRAMMING 243

Solution The feasible region is bounded. Therefore, maximum of Z must occur at the
corner point of the feasible region (Fig. 12.1).
Corner Point

Value of Z

O, (0, 0)
A (25, 0)
B (16, 16)
C (0, 24)

4 (0) + 3 (0) = 0
4 (25) + 3 (0) = 100
4 (16) + 3 (16) = 112 (Maximum)
4 (0) + 3 (24) = 72

Hence, the maximum value of Z is 112.

Fig.12.1

Example 2 Determine the minimum value of Z = 3x + 2y (if any), if the feasible


region for an LPP is shown in Fig.12.2.
Solution The feasible region (R) is unbounded. Therefore minimum of Z may or may
not exist. If it exists, it will be at the corner point (Fig.12.2).
Corner Point
A, (12, 0)

Value of Z
3 (12) + 2 (0) = 36

B (4, 2)

3 (4) + 2 (2) = 16

C (1, 5)

3 (1) + 2 (5) = 13

D (0, 10)

3 (0) + 2 (10) = 20

(smallest)

244 MATHEMATICS

Let us graph 3x + 2y < 13. We see that the open half plane determined by 3x + 2y < 13
and R do not have a common point. So, the smallest value 13 is the minimum value
of Z.
Example 3 Solve the following LPP graphically:
Maximise Z = 2x + 3y,
subject to x + y 4, x 0, y 0
Solution The shaded region (OAB) in the Fig. 12.3 is the feasible region determined
by the system of constraints x 0, y 0 and x + y 4.
The feasible region OAB is bounded, so, maximum value will occur at a corner point
of the feasible region.
Corner Points are O(0, 0), A (4, 0) and B (0, 4).
Evaluate Z at each of these corner point.
Corner Point

Value of Z

0, (0, 0)
A (4, 0)

2 (0) + 3 (0) = 0
2 (4) + 3 (0) = 8

B (0, 4)

2 (0) + 3 (4) = 12

Maximum

LINEAR PROGRAMMING 245

Hence, the maximum value of Z is 12 at the point (0, 4)


Example 4 A manufacturing company makes two types of television sets; one is
black and white and the other is colour. The company has resources to make at most
300 sets a week. It takes Rs 1800 to make a black and white set and Rs 2700 to make
a coloured set. The company can spend not more than Rs 648000 a week to make
television sets. If it makes a profit of Rs 510 per black and white set and Rs 675 per
coloured set, how many sets of each type should be produced so that the company has
maximum profit? Formulate this problem as a LPP given that the objective is to
maximise the profit.
Solution Let x and y denote, respectively, the number of black and white sets and
coloured sets made each week. Thus
x 0, y 0
Since the company can make at most 300 sets a week, therefore,
x + y 300
Weekly cost (in Rs) of manufacturing the set is
1800x + 2700y
and the company can spend upto Rs. 648000. Therefore,
1800x + 2700y 648000, i.e., or 2x + 3y 720
The total profit on x black and white sets and y colour sets is Rs (510x + 675y). Let
Z = 510x + 675y . This is the objective function.

246 MATHEMATICS

Thus, the mathematical formulation of the problem is


Maximise
subject to the constraints :

Z = 510x + 675y

x y 300
2x 3 y 720
x 0, y 0

Long Answer (L.A.)


Example 5 Refer to Example 4. Solve the LPP.
Solution The problem is :
Maximise Z = 510x + 675y
subject to the constraints :

x y 300
2x 3 y 720
x 0, y 0

The feasible region OABC is shown in the Fig. 12.4.


Since the feasible region is bounded, therefore maximum of Z must occur at the corner
point of OBC.

LINEAR PROGRAMMING 247

Corner Point

Value of Z

O (0, 0)
A (300, 0)
B (180, 120)
C (0, 240)

510 (0) + 675 (0) = 0


510 (300) + 675 (0) = 153000
510 (180) + 675 (120) = 172800

Maximum

510 (0) + 675 (240) = 162000

Thus, maximum Z is 172800 at the point (180, 120), i.e., the company should produce
180 black and white television sets and 120 coloured television sets to get maximum
profit.
Example 6 Minimise Z = 3x + 5y subject to the constraints :

x + 2 y 10
x+ y 6
3x + y 8
x, y 0
Solution We first draw the graphs of x + 2y = 10, x + y = 6, 3x + y = 8. The shaded
region ABCD is the feasible region (R) determined by the above constraints. The
feasible region is unbounded. Therefore, minimum of Z may or may not occur. If it
occurs, it will be on the corner point.

248 MATHEMATICS

Let us draw the graph of 3x + 5y < 26 as shown in Fig. 12.5 by dotted line.
We see that the open half plane determined by 3x + 5y < 26 and R do not have a point
in common. Thus, 26 is the minimum value of Z.

Example 7 The corner points of the feasible region determined by the system of
linear constraints are (0, 10), (5, 5), (15, 15), (0, 20).Let Z = px + qy, where p, q > 0.

(0, 20) is

Overview

13.1.1 Conditional Probability


If E and F are two events associated with the same sample space of a random
experiment, then the conditional probability of the event E under the condition that the
event F has occurred, written as P (E | F), is given by
P(E | F) =

P(E F)
P(F)

, P(F) 0

13.1.2 Properties of Conditional Probability


Let E and F be events associated with the sample space S of an experiment. Then:
(i) P (S | F) = P (F | F) = 1
(ii) P [(A B) | F] = P (A | F) + P (B | F) P [(A B | F)],
where A and B are any two events associated with S.
(iii) P (E | F) = 1 P (E | F)
13.1.3 Multiplication Theorem on Probability
Let E and F be two events associated with a sample space of an experiment. Then
P (E F) = P (E) P (F | E), P (E) 0
= P (F) P (E | F), P (F) 0
If E, F and G are three events associated with a sample space, then
P (E F G) = P (E) P (F | E) P (G | E F)

PROBABILITY

13.1.4 Independent Events


Let E and F be two events associated with a sample space S. If the probability of
occurrence of one of them is not affected by the occurrence of the other, then we say
that the two events are independent. Thus, two events E and F will be independent, if
(a)

P (F | E) = P (F), provided P (E) 0

(b)

P (E | F) = P (E), provided P (F) 0

Using the multiplication theorem on probability, we have


(c)

P (E F) = P (E) P (F)

Three events A, B and C are said to be mutually independent if all the following
conditions hold:
P (A B) = P (A) P (B)
P (A C) = P (A) P (C)
P (B C) = P (B) P (C)
P (A B C) = P (A) P (B) P (C)

and

13.1.5 Partition of a Sample Space


A set of events E1, E2,...., En is said to represent a partition of a sample space S if
(a)

Ei Ej = , i j; i, j = 1, 2, 3,......, n

(b)

Ei E2 ... En = S, and

(c)

Each Ei , i. e, P (Ei) > 0 for all i = 1, 2, ..., n

13.1.6 Theorem of Total Probability


Let {E1, E, ..., En} be a partition of the sample space S. Let A be any event associated
with S, then

p1, p2, ..., pn, respectively such that pi 0,

p

= 1 . Mean of X, denoted by [or

13.1.10 Bernoulli Trials


Trials of a random experiment are called Bernoulli trials, if they satisfy the following
conditions:
(i)

There should be a finite number of trials

(ii)

The trials should be independent

(iii)

Each trial has exactly two outcomes: success or failure

(iv)

The probability of success (or failure) remains the same in each trial.

13.1.11 Binomial Distribution


A random variable X taking values 0, 1, 2, ..., n is said to have a binomial distribution
with parameters n and p, if its probability distibution is given by
P (X = r) = ncr pr qnr,

where q = 1 p and r = 0, 1, 2, ..., n.


13.2 Solved Examples
Short Answer (S. A.)
Example 1 A and B are two candidates seeking admission in a college. The probability
that A is selected is 0.7 and the probability that exactly one of them is selected is 0.6.
Find the probability that B is selected.
Solution Let p be the probability that B gets selected.
P (Exactly one of A, B is selected) = 0.6 (given)
P (A is selected, B is not selected; B is selected, A is not selected) = 0.6
P (AB) + P (AB) = 0.6

262

MATHEMATICS

P (A) P (B) + P (A) P (B) = 0.6


(0.7) (1 p) + (0.3) p = 0.6
p = 0.25
Thus the probability that B gets selected is 0.25.
Example 2 The probability of simultaneous occurrence of at least one of two events
A and B is p. If the probability that exactly one of A, B occurs is q, then prove that
P (A) + P (B) = 2 2p + q.
Solution Since P (exactly one of A, B occurs) = q (given), we get
P (AB) P ( AB) = q
p P (AB) = q
P (AB) = p q
1 P (AB) = p q
P (AB) = 1 p + q

P (A) + P (B) P (AB) = 1 p + q

P (A) + P (B) = (1 p + q) + P (A B)
= (1 p + q) + (1 P (A B))
= (1 p + q) + (1 p)
= 2 2p + q.
Example 3 10% of the bulbs produced in a factory are of red colour and 2% are red
and defective. If one bulb is picked up at random, determine the probability of its being

B = {(1, 2), (2, 2), (3, 2), (4, 2), (5, 2), (6, 2)}

Example 5 A committee of 4 students is selected at random from a group consisting 8
boys and 4 girls. Given that there is at least one girl on the committee, calculate the
probability that there are exactly 2 girls on the committee.
Solution Let A denote the event that at least one girl will be chosen, and B the event
that exactly 2 girls will be chosen. We require P (B | A).
SinceA denotes the event that at least one girl will be chosen, A denotes that no girl
is chosen, i.e., 4 boys are chosen. Then

tubes produced one each of machines E1 and E2 are defective, and that 5% of those
produced on E3 are defective. If one tube is picked up at random from a days production,
calculate the probability that it is defective.
Solution: Let D be the event that the picked up tube is defective
Let A1 , A2 and A3 be the events that the tube is produced on machines E1 , E2 and E3,
respectively .

R is reflexive.

(ii) a R b a b is divisible by n, then b a, is divisible by n, so b R a.


Hence R is symmetric.

24. Commutative: For any a, b R { 1}, we have a * b = a + b + ab and


b * a = b + a + ba. But {by commutative property of addition and multiplication on
R {1}, we have:
a + b + ab = b + a + ba .
a*b=b*a
Hence * is commutative on R {1}

Identity Element : Let e be the identity element.


Then a * e = e * a for all a R {1}
a + e + ae = a and e + a + ea = a
e (1+a) = 0

e = 0 [since a

1)

Thus, 0 is the identity element for * defined on R {1}


Inverse : Let a R {1}and let b be the inverse of a. Then
a*b=e=b*a
a * b = 0 = b * a ( e = 0)
a + b + ab = 0

b =

Moreover, a 1

Hence, every element of R {1}is invertible and

a
the inverse of an element a is a 1 .

Then BC = base = H cos and AC = Perpendicular

The feasible region determined by the above inequalities is an unbounded


region. Vertices of feasible region are
A ( 0, 8 ) B ( 2, 4 ) C (10, 0 )

1
2

Now value of Z at A ( 0, 8 ) = 50 0 + 70 8 = 560


B ( 2, 4 ) = 380 C (10, 0 ) = 500

As the feasible region is unbounded therefore, we have to draw the graph of


50x + 70y < 380 i.e. 5x + 7y < 38

1
2

As the resulting open half plane has no common point with feasible region thus the
minimum value of z = 380 at B (2, 4). Hence, the optimal mixing strategy for the
dietician would be to mix 2 kg of food I and 4 kg of food II to get the minimum cost
of the mixture i.e Rs 380.
