A [0,2π][0,2 \pi]
B [0,2π)[0,2 \pi)
C [0,π)[0, \pi)
D [0,π][0, \pi]
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution
x21+x2=111+x2<10x21+x2<10sin1(x21+x2)<π204sin1(x21+x2)<2π\begin{aligned} & \frac{x^2}{1+x^2}=1-\frac{1}{1+x^2}<1 \\\\ \therefore & 0 \leq \frac{x^2}{1+x^2}<1 \\\\ \Rightarrow & 0 \leq \sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{x^2}{1+x^2}\right)<\frac{\pi}{2} \\\\ \Rightarrow & 0 \leq 4 \sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{x^2}{1+x^2}\right)<2 \pi \end{aligned}

 By (1) xϕ\text{ By (1) } x \in \phi

And by (2)

x[3,0]x \in[-3,0]

and

x[0,1]x \in[0,1]

Range of

f(g(x))\mathrm{f(g(x))}

is

[0,1][0,1]
Q3
The function f : N \to N defined by f (x) = x - 5 [x5],\left[ {{x \over 5}} \right], Where N is the set of natural numbers and [x] denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to x, is :
A one-one and onto
B one-one but not onto.
C onto but not one-one.
D neither one-one nor onto.
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

f(1) = 1 - 5

[15]\left[ {{1 \over 5}} \right]

= 1 f(6) = 6 - 5

[65]\left[ {{6 \over 5}} \right]

= 1 So, this function is many to one. f(10) = 10 - 5

[105]\left[ {{10 \over 5}} \right]

= 0 which is not present in the set of natural numbers. So this function is neither one-one nor onto.

Q4
The function f(x)f\left( x \right) =log(x+x2+1) = \log \left( {x + \sqrt {{x^2} + 1} } \right), is
A neither an even nor an odd function
B an even function
C an odd function
D a periodic function
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution
f(x)=log(x+x2+1)f\left( x \right) = \log \left( {x + \sqrt {{x^2} + 1} } \right)
f(x)=log{x+x2+1}f\left( { - x} \right) = \log \left\{ { - x + \sqrt {{x^2} + 1} } \right\}
=log{x2+x2+1x+x2+1}= \log \left\{ {{{ - {x^2} + {x^2} + 1} \over {x + \sqrt {{x^2} + 1} }}} \right\}
=log(x+x2+1)=f(x)= - \log \left( {x + \sqrt {{x^2} + 1} } \right) = - f\left( x \right)
f(x)\Rightarrow f\left( x \right)\,\,\,\,

is an odd function.

Q5
A real valued function f(x) satisfies the functional equation f(x - y) = f(x)f(y) - f(a - x)f(a + y) where a is given constant and f(0) = 1, f(2a - x) is equal to
A - f(x)
B f(x)
C f(a) + f(a - x)
D f(- x)
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution
f(2ax)=f(a(xa))f\left( {2a - x} \right) = f\left( {a - \left( {x - a} \right)} \right)
=f(a)f(xa)f(0)f(x)= f\left( a \right)f\left( {x - a} \right) - f\left( 0 \right)f\left( x \right)
=f(a)f(xa)f(x)= f\left( a \right)f\left( {x - a} \right) - f\left( x \right)
=f(x)= - f\left( x \right)
[\left[ {} \right.

as

x=0,y=0,f(0)=f2(0)f2(a)x = 0,y = 0,f\left( 0 \right) = {f^2}\left( 0 \right) - {f^2}\left( a \right)
f2(a)=0f(a)=0]\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, \Rightarrow {f^2}\left( a \right) = 0 \Rightarrow f\left( a \right) = \left. 0 \right]
f(2ax)=f(x)\Rightarrow f\left( {2a - x} \right) = - f\left( x \right)
Q6
Let f : R \to R be defined by f(x) = x1+x2,xR{x \over {1 + {x^2}}},x \in R. Then the range of f is :
A [12,12]\left[ { - {1 \over 2},{1 \over 2}} \right]
B R[12,12]R - \left[ { - {1 \over 2},{1 \over 2}} \right]
C (- 1, 1) - {0}
D R - [-1, 1]
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

f(0) = 0 & f(x) is odd Further, if x > 0 then f(x) =

f(x)=1x+1x(0,12]f(x) = {1 \over {x + {1 \over x}}} \in \left( {0,{1 \over 2}} \right]

Hence,

f(x)[12,12]f(x) \in \left[ { - {1 \over 2},{1 \over 2}} \right]
Q7
The real valued function f(x)=cosec1xx[x]f(x) = {{\cos e{c^{ - 1}}x} \over {\sqrt {x - [x]} }}, where [x] denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to x, is defined for all x belonging to :
A all real except integers
B all non-integers except the interval [ -1, 1 ]
C all integers except 0, -1, 1
D all real except the interval [ -1, 1 ]
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

Domain of

cosec1x\cos e{c^{ - 1}}x

:

x(,1][1,)x \in ( - \infty , - 1] \cup [1,\infty )

and,

x[x]>0x - [x] > 0
{x}>0\Rightarrow \{ x\} > 0
xI\Rightarrow x \ne I

\therefore Required domain =

(,1][1,)I( - \infty , - 1] \cup [1,\infty ) - I
Q8
The domain of sin1[log3(x3)]{\sin ^{ - 1}}\left[ {{{\log }_3}\left( {{x \over 3}} \right)} \right] is
A [1, 9]
B [-1, 9]
C [9, 1]
D [-9, -1]
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution
f(x)=sin1(log3(x3))f\left( x \right) = {\sin ^{ - 1}}\left( {{{\log }_3}\left( {{x \over 3}} \right)} \right)

exists if

1log3(x3)1\,\,\,\, - 1 \le {\log _3}\left( {{x \over 3}} \right) \le 1
31x331\Leftrightarrow {3^{ - 1}} \le {x \over 3} \le {3^1}
1x9\Leftrightarrow 1 \le x \le 9

or

x[1,9]\,\,\,\,x \in \left[ {1,9} \right]
Q9
The function f(x)=x2+2x15x24x+9,xRf(x)=\dfrac{x^2+2 x-15}{x^2-4 x+9}, x \in \mathbb{R} is
A both one-one and onto.
B onto but not one-one.
C neither one-one nor onto.
D one-one but not onto.
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

The function f(x)=x2+2x15x24x+9,xR f(x)=\dfrac{x^2+2x-15}{x^2-4x+9}, x \in \mathbb{R} can be simplified to f(x)=(x3)(x+5)x24x+9 f(x)=\dfrac{(x-3)(x+5)}{x^2-4x+9} .

For x=3 x=3 and x=5 x=-5 , f(x) f(x) equals 0.

Therefore, f(x) f(x) is not one-one as it yields the same output for different input values.

The range of f(x) f(x) is [2,1.6] [-2, 1.6] , indicating that f(x) f(x) does not cover all possible real values.

Consequently, f(x) f(x) is not onto.

Thus, the function is neither one-one nor onto.

Q10
Which one is not periodic?
A sin3x+sin2x\left| {\sin 3x} \right| + {\sin ^2}x
B cosx+cos2x\cos \sqrt x + {\cos ^2}x
C cos4x+tan2x\cos \,4x + {\tan ^2}x
D cos2x+sinxcos\,2x + \sin x
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution
x\sqrt x

is non periodic function and

cos(something)\cos \left( {something} \right)

is a periodic function so here in

cosx\cos \sqrt x

\to inside periodic function there is non periodic function which always produce non periodic function.

cos2x{{{\cos }^2}x}

is a periodic function with period π\pi Note : (1) When

nn

is odd then the period of

sinnθ{\sin ^n}\theta

,

cosnθ{\cos ^n}\theta

,

cscnθ{\csc ^n}\theta

,

secnθ{\sec ^n}\theta

=

2π2\pi

(2) When

nn

is even then the period of

sinnθ{\sin ^n}\theta

,

cosnθ{\cos ^n}\theta

,

cscnθ{\csc ^n}\theta

,

secnθ{\sec ^n}\theta

= π\pi (3) When

nn

is even/odd then the period of

tannθ{\tan ^n}\theta

,

cotnθ{\cot ^n}\theta

= π\pi (3) When

nn

is even/odd then the period of

sinnθ\left| {{{\sin }^n}\theta } \right|

,

cosnθ\left| {{{\cos }^n}\theta } \right|

,

cscnθ\left| {{{\csc }^n}\theta } \right|

,

secnθ\left| {{{\sec }^n}\theta } \right|

,

tannθ\left| {{{\tan }^n}\theta } \right|

,

cotnθ\left| {{{\cot }^n}\theta } \right|

= π\pi

cosx+cos2x\cos \sqrt x + {\cos ^2}x

= non periodic function + periodic function = non periodic function
