4. Let set X = {1, 2, 3} and a relation R is defined in X as : R = {(1, 3), (2, 2), (3, 2)}, then
minimum ordered pairs which should be added in relation R to make it reflexive and symmetric
are
(a) {(1, 1), (2, 3), (1, 2)} (b) {(3, 3), (3, 1), (1, 2)}
(c) {(1, 1), (3, 3), (3, 1), (2, 3)} (d) {(1, 1), (3, 3), (3, 1), (1, 2)}
Ans: (c), For reflexive (a, a) ∈ R for a ∈ X
So it can be (c) or (d)
For symmetric (1, 3) ∈R, then (3, 1) should belong to R. Also (2, 3) should belong to R from
above observation.

Questions 20 to 21 carry 5 marks.
20. Let N denote the set of all natural numbers and R be the relation on N × N defined by
(a, b) R (c, d) if ad (b + c) = bc (a + d). Show that R is an equivalence relation.
Ans: Relation R on N × N is given by
(a, b) R(c, d) ad(b + c) = bc(a + d).
For reflexive:
For (a, b) ∈ N × N
(a, b) R(a, b) ab(b + a) = ba(a + b),
true in N
Hence, reflexive
For symmetric:
For (a, b), (c, d) ∈ N × N
(a, b) R(c, d) ad(b + c) = bc(a + d)
cb(d + a) = da(c + b) ( × and + is commutative in N)

 (c, d) R(a, b) (a, b), (c, d) ∈ N × N.
Hence, symmetric
For transitive:
For (a, b), (c, d), (e, f) ∈ N × N

(a, b) R(e, f) Hence, transitive.
As relation R is reflexive, symmetric and transitive. Hence, R is an equivalence relation.

SECTION – E (Case Study Based Questions)

Questions 22 to 23 carry 4 marks each.
22. Case-Study 1: Read the following passage and answer the questions given below.
Two schools A and B want to award their selected students on the values of Honesty, Hard work
and Punctuality. The school A wants to award ₹ x each, ₹ y each and ₹ z each for the three
respective values to its 3, 2 and 1 students respectively with a total award money of ₹ 2200.
School B wants to spend ₹ 3100 to award its 4, 1 and 3 students on the respective values (by
giving the same award money to the three values as school A). The total amount of award for
one prize on each value is ₹ 1200.

Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 6 -

 Using the concept of matrices and determinants, answer the following questions.
(i) What is the award money for Honesty? [1]
(ii) What is the award money for Punctuality? [1]
(iii) What is the award money for Hard work? [1]
(iv) If a matrix P is both symmetric and skew-symmetric, then find |P|. [1]
Ans: Three equations are formed from the given statements:
3x + 2y + z = 2200
4x + y + 3z = 3100
and x + y + z = 1200
Converting the system of equations in matrix form, we get

i.e. PX = Q

|P| = 3(1 – 3) –2(4 – 3) + 1(4 – 1) = –6 – 2 + 3 = –5 ≠ 0

⇒ X = P–1 Q, provided P–1 exists.

(i) ₹ 300 (ii) ₹ 500 (iii) ₹ 400

(iv) If a matrix P is both symmetric and skew symmetric matrix then it will be a zero matrix. So,
|P| = 0.

23. Case-Study 2: Read the following passage and answer the questions given below.
Sonam wants to prepare a sweet box for Diwali at home. For making lower part of box, she takes
a square piece of cardboard of side 18 cm.
Now, x cm be the length of each side of the square cardboard which is to be cut off from corner
of the square piece of side 18 cm.
Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 7 -
 Based on the above information, answer the following questions :
(i) Express Volume of the open box formed by folding up the cutting corner in terms of x and
dV
find the value of x for which = 0.
dx
(ii) Sonam is interested in maximising the volume of the box. So, what should be the side of the
square to be cut off so that the volume of the box is maximum?
Ans: (i) height of open box = x cm
Length of open box = 18 – 2x
and width of open box = 18 – 2x
∴ Volume (V) of the open box = x × (18 – 2x) × (18 – 2x)
⇒ V = x(18 – 2x)2
dV
⇒ = x ⋅ 2(18 – 2x)(–2) + (18 – 2x)2
dx
= (18 – 2x)(–4x + 18 – 2x)
= (18 – 2x)(18 – 6x)
dV
Now, = 0 ⇒ 18 – 2x = 0 or 18 – 6x = 0
dx
⇒ x = 9 or 3
dV
(ii) We have, V = x(18 – 2x)2 and = (18 – 2x)(18 – 6x)
dx
d 2V
⇒ = (18 – 2x)(–6) + (18 – 6x)(–2)
dx 2
= (–2)[54 – 6x + 18 – 6x]
= (–2)[72 – 12x] = 24x – 144
d 2V
For x = 3, <0
dx 2
d 2V
and for x = 9, >0
dx 2
So, volume will be maximum when x = 3.
