1. If x is an acute angle and tan x = 17√, then the value of csc⁡2x−sec⁡2xcsc⁡2x+sec⁡2x\csc^2 x – \sec^2 x \csc^2 x + \sec^2 xcsc2x−sec2xcsc2x+sec2x is:

Given that tan⁡x=17\tan x = \sqrt{17}tanx=17​, we know:sec⁡2x=1+tan⁡2x=1+17=18\sec^2 x = 1 + \tan^2 x = 1 + 17 = 18sec2x=1+tan2x=1+17=18 csc⁡2x=1+cot⁡2x=1+1tan⁡2x=1+117=1817\csc^2 x = 1 + \cot^2 x = 1 + \frac{1}{\tan^2 x} = 1 + \frac{1}{17} = \frac{18}{17}csc2x=1+cot2x=1+tan2x1​=1+171​=1718​

Now calculate:csc⁡2x−sec⁡2xcsc⁡2x+sec⁡2x=1817−18⋅1817+18\csc^2 x – \sec^2 x \csc^2 x + \sec^2 x = \frac{18}{17} – 18 \cdot \frac{18}{17} + 18csc2x−sec2xcsc2x+sec2x=1718​−18⋅1718​+18

Simplifying:=1817−32417+18=18−324+30617=017=0= \frac{18}{17} – \frac{324}{17} + 18 = \frac{18 – 324 + 306}{17} = \frac{0}{17} = 0=1718​−17324​+18=1718−324+306​=170​=0

Here are the solutions to the questions you’ve provided:

Section B

1. A convex polygon of nnn sides has nnn diagonals. Then the value of nnn is:

For a convex polygon with nnn sides, the number of diagonals is given by the formula:Number of diagonals=n(n−3)2\text{Number of diagonals} = \frac{n(n-3)}{2}Number of diagonals=2n(n−3)​

The number of diagonals equals the number of sides nnn, so:n(n−3)2=n\frac{n(n-3)}{2} = n2n(n−3)​=n

Simplifying:n(n−3)=2nn(n-3) = 2nn(n−3)=2nn2−3n=2nn^2 – 3n = 2nn2−3n=2nn2−5n=0n^2 – 5n = 0n2−5n=0n(n−5)=0n(n – 5) = 0n(n−5)=0

Thus, n=5n = 5n=5.

Answer: (d) 5

2. Assertion (A): The expansion of (1+x)n=(n0)+(n1)x+(n2)x2+⋯+(nn)xn(1 + x)^n = \binom{n}{0} + \binom{n}{1}x + \binom{n}{2}x^2 + \dots + \binom{n}{n}x^n(1+x)n=(0n​)+(1n​)x+(2n​)x2+⋯+(nn​)xn.

Reason (R): If x=−1x = -1x=−1, then the above expansion is zero.

  • The binomial expansion is correct.
  • If x=−1x = -1x=−1, then the expansion becomes:

∑k=0n(nk)(−1)k=(1−1)n=0\sum_{k=0}^n \binom{n}{k}(-1)^k = (1 – 1)^n = 0k=0∑n​(kn​)(−1)k=(1−1)n=0

Thus, both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.

Answer: (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

3. Assertion (A): The mean deviation about the mean for the data 4,7,8,9,10,12,13,174, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 174,7,8,9,10,12,13,17 is 3.

Reason (R): The mean deviation about the mean for the data 38,70,48,40,42,55,63,46,54,4438, 70, 48, 40, 42, 55, 63, 46, 54, 4438,70,48,40,42,55,63,46,54,44 is 8.5.

  • Calculating the mean deviation for the first data set:

Mean=4+7+8+9+10+12+13+178=10\text{Mean} = \frac{4 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 12 + 13 + 17}{8} = 10Mean=84+7+8+9+10+12+13+17​=10

Mean deviation = ∣4−10∣+∣7−10∣+∣8−10∣+∣9−10∣+∣10−10∣+∣12−10∣+∣13−10∣+∣17−10∣8=3+2+2+1+0+2+3+78=3\frac{|4 – 10| + |7 – 10| + |8 – 10| + |9 – 10| + |10 – 10| + |12 – 10| + |13 – 10| + |17 – 10|}{8} = \frac{3 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 0 + 2 + 3 + 7}{8} = 38∣4−10∣+∣7−10∣+∣8−10∣+∣9−10∣+∣10−10∣+∣12−10∣+∣13−10∣+∣17−10∣​=83+2+2+1+0+2+3+7​=3

  • For the second data set, calculating the mean deviation would also yield a value of 8.5.

Both A and R are true, but R does not explain A directly.

Answer: (b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

4.Find the equation of the parabola with directrix x=0x = 0x=0, focus at (6,0)(6, 0)(6,0):

The equation of a parabola with focus (6,0)(6, 0)(6,0) and directrix x=0x = 0x=0 is:y2=4axy^2 = 4axy2=4ax

Since the focus is at (6,0)(6, 0)(6,0), a=6a = 6a=6. Thus, the equation is:y2=24xy^2 = 24xy2=24x

5.Given the relation R={(1,2),(2,3)}R = \{(1, 2), (2, 3)\}R={(1,2),(2,3)} on the set A={1,2,3}A = \{1, 2, 3\}A={1,2,3}, add a minimum number of ordered pairs so that the enlarged relation is symmetric, transitive, and reflexive:

  • Reflexive: Add (1,1),(2,2),(3,3)(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3)(1,1),(2,2),(3,3).
  • Symmetric: Add (2,1),(3,2)(2, 1), (3, 2)(2,1),(3,2).
  • Transitive: Add (1,3)(1, 3)(1,3).

The final relation is:R={(1,2),(2,3),(1,1),(2,2),(3,3),(2,1),(3,2),(1,3)}R = \{(1, 2), (2, 3), (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (2, 1), (3, 2), (1, 3)\}R={(1,2),(2,3),(1,1),(2,2),(3,3),(2,1),(3,2),(1,3)}

P(A) = P({e_1, e_5, e_8}) = 0.08 + 0.1 + 0.07 = 0.25

P(B) = P({e_2, e_5, e_8, e_9}) = 0.08 + 0.1 + 0.07 + 0.07 = 0.32

P(A ∩ B) = P({e_5, e_8}) = 0.1 + 0.07 = 0.17

P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B) = 0.25 + 0.32 – 0.17 = 0.4
