Q11
Let A and B be two sets containing four and two elements respectively. Then, the number of subsets of the set A ×\times B , each having atleast three elements are
A 219
B 256
C 275
D 510
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

Given,

n(A)=4,n(B)=2n(A×B)=8\begin{aligned} &n(A)=4, n(B) =2 \\\\ &\Rightarrow n(A \times B) =8 \end{aligned}

Total number of subsets of set (A×B)=28(A \times B)=2^8 Number of subsets of set A×BA \times B having no element (i.e.

ϕ)=1\phi)=1 Number of subsets of set A×BA \times B having one element =8C1={ }^8 C_1 Number of subsets of set A×BA \times B having two elements =8C2={ }^8 C_2 \therefore Number of subsets having atleast three elements

=28(1+8C1+8C2)=281828=2837=25637=219\begin{aligned} &=2^8-\left(1+{ }^8 C_1+{ }^8 C_2\right) \\\\ &=2^8-1-8-28 \\\\ &=2^8-37 \\\\ &=256-37=219 \end{aligned}
Q12
Let RR be the set of real numbers. Statement I : A={(x,y)R×R:yxA=\{(x, y) \in R \times R: y-x is an integer }\} is an equivalence relation on RR. Statement II : B={(x,y)R×R:x=αy B=\{(x, y) \in R \times R: x=\alpha y for some rational number α}\alpha\} is an equivalence relation on RR.
A Statement I is true, Statement II is true; Statement II is not a correct explanation for Statement I.
B Statement I is true, Statement II is false.
C Statement I is false, Statement II is true.
D Statement I is true, Statement II is true; Statement II is a correct explanation for Statement I.
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

An equivalence relation on a set must satisfy three properties: reflexivity (every element is related to itself), symmetry (if an element is related to a second, the second is related to the first), and transitivity (if a first element is related to a second, and the second is related to a third, then the first is related to the third).

Statement I : A=(x,y)R×R:A={(x, y) \in R \times R: } y-x is an integer .

Reflexivity : For all xx in RR, xx=0x - x = 0 which is an integer.

So, every element is related to itself.

Symmetry : For all x,yx, y in RR, if yxy - x is an integer, then xy=(yx)x - y = - (y - x) is also an integer.

So, if xx is related to yy, then yy is related to xx.

Transitivity : For all x,y,zx, y, z in RR, if yxy - x and zyz - y are integers, then (zy)+(yx)=zx(z - y) + (y - x) = z - x is also an integer.

So, if xx is related to yy and yy is related to zz, then xx is related to zz.

Therefore, AA is an equivalence relation on RR.

Statement II : B=(x,y)R×R:x=αy B={(x, y) \in R \times R: x=\alpha y} for some rational number α\alpha.

Reflexivity : For all xx in RR, x=1xx = 1x.

Since 1 is a rational number, every element is related to itself.

Symmetry : For all x,yx, y in RR, if x=αyx = \alpha y for some rational α\alpha, then y=1αxy = \dfrac{1}{\alpha}x.

However, if α=0\alpha = 0, then 1α\dfrac{1}{\alpha} is undefined, and therefore, BB doesn't satisfy symmetry.

Transitivity : If x=αyx = \alpha y and y=βzy = \beta z for some rational numbers α\alpha and β\beta, then x=(αβ)zx = (\alpha \beta)z.

Since the product of rational numbers is rational, if xx is related to yy and yy is related to zz, then xx is related to zz.

Therefore, BB is not an equivalence relation on RR since it does not satisfy the symmetry property.

In conclusion, the correct answer is Option B : Statement I is true, Statement II is false.

Q13
Let X = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}. The number of different ordered pairs (Y, Z) that can be formed such that Y \subseteq X, Z \subseteq X and Y \cap Z is empty, is :
A 35
B 25
C 53
D 52
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

For any element xi present in X, 4 cases arises while making subsets Y and Z. Case- 1 : xi

\in

Y, xi

\in

Z \Rightarrow Y \cap Z \ne ϕ\phi Case- 2 : xi

\in

Y, xi \notin Z \Rightarrow Y \cap Z = ϕ\phi Case- 3 : xi \notin Y, xi

\in

Z \Rightarrow Y \cap Z = ϕ\phi Case- 4 : xi \notin Y, xi \notin Z \Rightarrow Y \cap Z = ϕ\phi \therefore For every element, number of ways = 3 for which Y \cap Z = ϕ\phi \Rightarrow Total ways = 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 [\because no. of elements in set X = 5] = 35

Q14
Consider the following two binary relations on the set A = {a, b, c} : R1 = {(c, a), (b, b), (a, c), (c, c), (b, c), (a, a)} and R2 = {(a, b), (b, a), (c, c), (c, a), (a, a), (b, b), (a, c)}. Then :
A both R1 and R2 are not symmetric.
B R1 is not symmetric but it is transitive.
C R2 is symmetric but it is not transitive.
D both R1 and R2 are transitive.
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

Here both R1 and R2 are symmetric as for any (x, y)

\in

R1, we have (y, x)

\in

R1 and similarly for any (x, y)

\in

R2, we have (y, x)

\in

R2 In R1, (b, c)

\in

R1, (c, a)

\in

R1 but (b,a) \notin R1 Similarly in R2, (b, a)

\in

R2, (a, c)

\in

R2 but (b, c) \notin R2 \therefore R1 and R2 are not transitive.

Q15
Let A={(x,y)R×R:x+y3}\mathrm{A}=\{(x, y) \in \mathbf{R} \times \mathbf{R}:|x+y| \geqslant 3\} and B={(x,y)R×R:x+y3}\mathrm{B}=\{(x, y) \in \mathbf{R} \times \mathbf{R}:|x|+|y| \leq 3\}. If C={(x,y)AB:x=0\mathrm{C}=\{(x, y) \in \mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B}: x=0 or y=0}y=0\}, then (x,y)Cx+y\sum_{(x, y) \in \mathrm{C}}|x+y| is :
A 18
B 24
C 15
D 12
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution
C={(3,0),(3,0),(0,3),(0,3)}Σx+y=12\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{C}=\{(3,0),(-3,0),(0,3),(0,-3)\} \\ & \Sigma|\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y}|=12 \end{aligned}
Q16
Let S = {1, 2, 3, … , 100}. The number of non-empty subsets A of S such that the product of elements in A is even is :
A 250 – 1
B 250 (250 - 1)
C 2100 - 1
D 250 + 1
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

S = {1,2,3, . . . .100} = Total non empty subsets-subsets with product of element is odd = 2100 - 1 - 1[(250 - 1)] = 2100 - 250 = 250 (250 - 1)

Q17
A survey shows that 73% of the persons working in an office like coffee, whereas 65% like tea. If x denotes the percentage of them, who like both coffee and tea, then x cannot be :
A 63
B 36
C 54
D 38
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

C \to person like coffee T \to person like Tea n(C) = 73 n(T) = 65 n(C \cup T) \le 100 n(C) + n(T) – n (C \cap T) \le 100 73 + 65 – x \le 100 x \ge 38 73 – x \ge 0 \Rightarrow x \le 73 65 – x \ge 0 \Rightarrow x \le 65 \therefore 38 \le x \le 65

Q18
If A = {x \in R : |x| < 2} and B = {x \in R : |x – 2| \ge 3}; then :
A A – B = [–1, 2)
B A \cup B = R – (2, 5)
C A \cap B = (–2, –1)
D B – A = R – (–2, 5)
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

A : x

\in

(–2, 2); B : x

\in

(–\infty, –1] \cup [5, \infty) \Rightarrow B – A = R – (–2, 5)

Q19
Let i=150Xi=i=1nYi=T\mathop \cup \limits_{i = 1}^{50} {X_i} = \mathop \cup \limits_{i = 1}^n {Y_i} = T where each Xi contains 10 elements and each Yi contains 5 elements. If each element of the set T is an element of exactly 20 of sets Xi’s and exactly 6 of sets Yi’s, then n is equal to :
A 30
B 50
C 15
D 45
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution
i=150Xi=\mathop \cup \limits_{i = 1}^{50} {X_i} =

X1, X2,....., X50 = 50 sets. Given each sets having 10 elements. So total elements = 50 ×\times 10

i=1nYi=\mathop \cup \limits_{i = 1}^n {Y_i} =
Y1,Y2,.....,Yn=nsets.Giveneachsetshaving5elements.Sototalelements=5Y1, Y2,....., Yn = n sets. Given each sets having 5 elements. So total elements = 5

\times

nNoweachelementofsetTcontainsexactly20ofsetsXi.SonumberofeffectiveelementsinsetT=n Now each element of set T contains exactly 20 of sets Xi. So number of effective elements in set T =

{{50 \times 10} \over {20}}

AlsoeachelementofsetTcontainsexactly6ofsetsYi.SonumberofeffectiveelementsinsetT=Also each element of set T contains exactly 6 of sets Yi. So number of effective elements in set T =

{{50 \times 10} \over {20}}

\therefore

{{50 \times 10} \over {20}}=={{5 \times n} \over {20}}

\Rightarrow $$ n = 30

Q20
Let A = {2, 3, 4, 5, ....., 30} and ' \simeq ' be an equivalence relation on A ×\times A, defined by (a, b) \simeq (c, d), if and only if ad = bc. Then the number of ordered pairs which satisfy this equivalence relation with ordered pair (4, 3) is equal to :
A 5
B 6
C 8
D 7
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

ad = bc (a, b) R (4, 3) \Rightarrow 3a = 4b a =

43{4 \over 3}

b b must be multiple of 3 b = {3, 6, 9 ..... 30} (a, b) = {(4, 3), (8, 16), (12, 9), (16, 12), (20, 15), (24, 18), (28, 21)} \Rightarrow 7 ordered pair
