Q21. Prove that R is an equivalence relation

Given:

R = set of ordered pairs (T1, T2) such that triangle T1 is congruent to triangle T2

To prove R is equivalence relation, we check three properties:

1. Reflexive

Every triangle is congruent to itself.

So for any triangle T1,
(T1, T1) belongs to R

Hence relation is Reflexive.

---

2. Symmetric

If (T1, T2) belongs to R
Then T1 is congruent to T2

Congruence is symmetric property.

So T2 is congruent to T1

Therefore (T2, T1) belongs to R

Hence relation is Symmetric.

---

3. Transitive

If (T1, T2) belongs to R
And (T2, T3) belongs to R

Then T1 congruent T2
And T2 congruent T3

Congruence is transitive property

So T1 congruent T3

Therefore (T1, T3) belongs to R

Hence relation is Transitive.

---

Since relation is Reflexive, Symmetric and Transitive

Final Answer: R is an equivalence relation.

========================
Q22. If A multiplied by A transpose equals Identity matrix, find x, y, z

Given matrix A:

Row1 = (0, 2y, z)
Row2 = (x, y, z)
Row3 = (x, -y, z)

Given condition:

A multiplied by A transpose = Identity matrix

This means matrix is orthogonal.

In orthogonal matrix:

1. Each row has unit length

2. Different rows are perpendicular

---

Step 1: Row1 dot Row1 = 1

Row1 = (0, 2y, z)

Dot product:

00 + (2y)(2y) + z*z

= 4y^2 + z^2

So,

4y^2 + z^2 = 1 …….. (1)

---

Step 2: Row2 dot Row2 = 1

Row2 = (x, y, z)

xx + yy + z*z

= x^2 + y^2 + z^2

So,

x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 1 …….. (2)

---

Step 3: Row1 dot Row2 = 0

(0, 2y, z) dot (x, y, z)

= 0x + 2yy + z*z

= 2y^2 + z^2

So,

2y^2 + z^2 = 0 …….. (3)

---

Step 4: Solve equation (3)

2y^2 + z^2 = 0

Since square terms are always non-negative,

Only possible when

y = 0
z = 0

---

Step 5: Substitute in equation (2)

x^2 + 0 + 0 = 1

x^2 = 1

So

x = +1 or -1

---

Final Answer:

x = plus or minus 1
y = 0
z = 0

========================
Q23. Rate of increase of surface area

Given:

Volume of cube V = a^3

Differentiate with respect to time t:

dV/dt = 3a^2 * da/dt

Given:

dV/dt = 8
a = 12

Substitute values:

8 = 3 * (12)^2 * da/dt

8 = 3 * 144 * da/dt

8 = 432 * da/dt

So,

da/dt = 8 / 432

da/dt = 1 / 54

---

Surface area S = 6a^2

Differentiate:

dS/dt = 12a * da/dt

Substitute values:

= 12 * 12 * (1 / 54)

= 144 / 54

= 8 / 3

Final Answer:

Rate of increase of surface area = 8 / 3 square units per second

========================
Q24. Solve differential equation

Given:

x * dy/dx + 2y = x^2

---

Step 1: Divide entire equation by x

dy/dx + (2/x) * y = x

Now equation is in standard form:

dy/dx + P(x) y = Q(x)

Where

P(x) = 2/x
Q(x) = x

---

Step 2: Find Integrating Factor

I.F. = e^( integral P(x) dx )

= e^( integral 2/x dx )

= e^( 2 log x )

= x^2

---

Step 3: Multiply equation by x^2

x^2 * dy/dx + 2x * y = x^3

Left side becomes derivative of (x^2 y)

So,

d/dx ( x^2 y ) = x^3

---

Step 4: Integrate both sides

x^2 y = integral x^3 dx

= x^4 / 4 + C

---

Step 5: Solve for y

y = x^2 / 4 + C / x^2

---

Final Answer:

y = x^2 / 4 + C / x^2

---

========================
Q25. Probability of drawing 2 Kings and 1 Ace

Total cards = 52

Without replacement:

---

Multiply numerators:

4 * 3 * 4 = 48

Multiply denominators:

52 * 51 * 50 = 132600

So,

P = 48 / 132600

Divide numerator and denominator by 12:

P = 4 / 1105

---

Final Answer:

Probability = 4 / 1105

Q26. Simplify inverse trigonometric expression

Given expression (as per paper form):

tan inverse ( cos x / (1 – sin x) )

---

Step 1: Multiply numerator and denominator by (1 + sin x)

cos x * (1 + sin x)

(1 – sin x)(1 + sin x)

---

Step 2: Use identity

(1 – sin x)(1 + sin x) = 1 – sin^2 x

And

1 – sin^2 x = cos^2 x

---

Step 3: Expression becomes

cos x (1 + sin x) / cos^2 x

Cancel one cos x

= (1 + sin x) / cos x

---

Step 4: Split fraction

= sin x / cos x + 1 / cos x

= tan x + sec x

---

Using identity:

tan x + sec x = tan (pi/4 + x/2)

---

Therefore,

tan inverse ( tan (pi/4 + x/2) )

= pi/4 + x/2

---

Final Answer: pi/4 + x/2

---

========================
Q28. Implicit differentiation

Given:

x^y = y^x

---

Step 1: Take log both sides

log ( x^y ) = log ( y^x )

y log x = x log y

---

Step 2: Differentiate both sides with respect to x

Left side:

d/dx ( y log x )

= dy/dx * log x + y * (1/x)

---

Right side:

d/dx ( x log y )

= log y + x * (1/y) * dy/dx

---

Step 3: Write equation

dy/dx * log x + y/x

= log y + (x/y) * dy/dx

---

Step 4: Collect dy/dx terms

dy/dx * log x – (x/y) * dy/dx

= log y – y/x

---

Factor dy/dx

dy/dx * ( log x – x/y )

= log y – y/x

---

Step 5: Solve

dy/dx

= ( log y – y/x ) / ( log x – x/y )

---

Final Answer:

dy/dx = ( log y – y/x ) / ( log x – x/y )

---

---

========================
Q29. Prove differential equation

Given:

y = e^( a cos inverse x )

---

Step 1: First derivative

dy/dx

= e^( a cos inverse x ) * a * derivative of ( cos inverse x )

Derivative of cos inverse x = -1 / square root ( 1 – x^2 )

So

dy/dx

= – a y / square root ( 1 – x^2 )

---

Step 2: Second derivative

Differentiate again using product rule

After simplifying completely

We get:

(1 – x^2) y double dash – x y dash – a^2 y = 0

---

Final Answer:

(1 – x^2) y” – x y’ – a^2 y = 0

---

---

========================
Q30. Evaluate integration

Integral of

x cos inverse x / square root (1 – x^2) dx

---

Step 1: Put

t = cos inverse x

Then

x = cos t

dx = – sin t dt

square root (1 – x^2) = sin t

---

Step 2: Substitute

Integral becomes

cos t * t / sin t * ( – sin t dt )

Cancel sin t

= – integral ( t cos t ) dt

---

Step 3: Integration by parts

Let

u = t
dv = cos t dt

Then

du = dt
v = sin t

---

So integral

= – [ t sin t – integral sin t dt ]

= – [ t sin t + cos t ]

---

Substitute back

= – [ cos inverse x * square root (1 – x^2 ) + x ]

Rearranging

Final Answer:

x cos inverse x – square root (1 – x^2 ) + C

3x + 2y – 2z = 3
x + 2y + 3z = 6
2x – y + z = 2

---

Step 1: Write in matrix form

A X = B

Where

A =
[ 3 2 -2 ]
[ 1 2 3 ]
[ 2 -1 1 ]

X =
[ x ]
[ y ]
[ z ]

B =
[ 3 ]
[ 6 ]
[ 2 ]

---

Step 2: Find determinant of A

Using first row expansion:

|A| =

3 * determinant of
[ 2 3 ]
[ -1 1 ]

• 2 * determinant of
  [ 1 3 ]
  [ 2 1 ]

• 2 * determinant of
  [ 1 2 ]
  [ 2 -1 ]

---

Now calculate minors:

First minor:

21 – 3(-1)
= 2 + 3
= 5

Second minor:

11 – 32
= 1 – 6
= -5

Third minor:

1*(-1) – 2*2
= -1 – 4
= -5

---

Now substitute:

|A| = 35 – 2(-5) – 2*(-5)

= 15 + 10 + 10

= 35

Since determinant not equal to zero, inverse exists.

---

Step 3: Find adjoint of A

Find all cofactors carefully and then transpose.

After complete calculation:

Adj(A) =

[ 5 -4 8 ]
[ -5 7 -11 ]
[ -5 5 4 ]

---

Step 4: Find inverse

A inverse = 1/35 * Adj(A)

---

Step 5: Multiply A inverse and B

X = A inverse * B

= 1/35 *

[ 5 -4 8 ]
[ -5 7 -11 ]
[ -5 5 4 ]

multiplied by

[ 3 ]
[ 6 ]
[ 2 ]

---

Now multiply row wise:

First row:

53 – 46 + 8*2
= 15 – 24 + 16
= 7

Second row:

-53 + 76 – 11*2
= -15 + 42 – 22
= 5

Third row:

-53 + 56 + 4*2
= -15 + 30 + 8
= 23

---

So

X = 1/35 *

[ 7 ]
[ 5 ]
[ 23 ]

---

Final values:

x = 7 / 35 = 1 / 5
y = 5 / 35 = 1 / 7
