Question 8.
Prove by the method of contradiction that √3 is irrational. (3)
Answer:
Assume that √3 is rational
∴ √3 = \(\frac{a}{b}\) where a and b are coprime.
∴ a = √3b
a2 = 3b2 ________(1)
i.e 3 divides a2
∴ 3 divides a
∴ There exists an integer c such that a = 3c
∴ a2 = 9c2
Substituting this in equation (1),
9c2 = 3b2
b2 = 3c2
∴ 3 divides b2
hence 3 divides b.
∴ 3 is a common factor of a and b.
This is a contradiction to the fact that a and b are coprime.
∴ Our assumption is wrong.
Hence √3 is irrational.

Answer:
(i) (a) (-4, 5]
(ii) A ∪ B = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
(A ∪ B)’ = {1, 7}
A’ = {1, 5, 7}
B’ = {1, 2, 6, 7}
A’ ∩ B’ = {1, 7}
∴ (A ∪ B)’ = A’ ∩ B’

T → 2
H → 1
E → 1
I → 1
C → 1
S → 1
∴ Required number of words = \(\frac{11!}{2!2!2!}\)

Answer:


Question 15.
(i) Find the slope of the line x – 7y + 5 = 0. (1)
(ii) Find the equation of the line perpendicular to the above line having x-intercept 3. (3)
Answer:
(i) Slope = \(\frac{-A}{B}=\frac{-1}{-7}=\frac{1}{7}\)
(ii) Slope of required line = -7
(x1, y1) = (3, 0)
Equation is y – y1 = m(x – x1)
⇒ y – 0 = -7(x – 3)
⇒ y = -7x + 21
⇒ 7x + y – 21 = 0
Question 16.
Find the coordinates of the foci, vertices, the length of the major axis and the length of the latus rectum of the ellipse \(\frac{x^2}{36}+\frac{y^2}{16}\) = 1 (4)
Answer:
Given \(\frac{x^2}{36}+\frac{y^2}{16}\) = 1
a = 6, b = 4
c = \(\sqrt{a^2-b^2}=\sqrt{20}\)
Foci = (±c, 0) = (±√20, 0)
Vertices = (±a, 0) = (±6, 0)
Length of major axis = 2a = 12
Length of Latus Rectum = \(\frac{2 b^2}{a}=\frac{2 \times 16}{6}=\frac{16}{3}\)

Question 17.
If A and B are two events such that P(A) = 0.54, P(B) = 0.69 and P(A ∩ B) = 0.35, then find
(i) P(A or B) (2)
(ii) P(not A and not B) (2)
Answer:
(i) P(A or B) = P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B)
= 0.54 + 0.69 – 0.35
= 0.88
(ii) P(not A and not B) = P(A’ ∩ B’)
= P(A ∪ B)’
= 1 – P(A ∪ B)
= 1 – 0.88
= 0.12
