Solution 4: (C)
For quadratic equation ax 2 + bx + c = 0,
Δ = b2 − 4ac
Here:
• a = l − m,
• b = −5(l + m),
• c = −2(l − m).
Δ = [−5(l + m)]2 − 4(l − m)(−2(l − m))
= 25(l + m)2 + 8(l − m)2
Since squares are always non-negative, Δ > 0 for l ≠ m, meaning real and unequal roots.

Sum of roots:
α + β = −p
Product of roots:
αβ = 8
Step 2: Use Root Difference Formula
√(α + β)2 − 4αβ = 2
√p2 − 32 = 2
Solution 4: (AB)
α − β = 2 and α3 − β3 = 98

R × O + M = 46
R + M × O = 64
We need to find R + M + O.

Finding integer values that satisfy both equations.
Trying R = 10, M = 4, O = 6 :
10 × 4 × 6 = 240 (True)
10 × 6 + 4 = 60 + 4 = 46 (True)

Given two quadratic equations:
x 2 − bx + 6 = 0
x 2 − 6x + c = 0
One root is common, and the remaining roots are in the ratio 3: 4.
Step 1: Assume Roots
Let the common root be r and the remaining roots be 3k and 4k.
From the first equation:
r + 3k = b
r ⋅ 3k = 6
From the second equation:
r + 4k = 6
r ⋅ 4k = c
Step 2: Solve for 𝐫, 𝐤
r + 4k = 6 ⇒ r = 6 − 4k
(6 − 4k) ⋅ 3k = 6
18k − 12k 2 = 6
6k 2 − 9k + 3 = 0
Solving for :
k = 1, r = 6 − 4(1) = 2
Step 3: Find 𝐛 and 𝐜

Given c < 0 < b for the quadratic equation x 2 + bx + c = 0, the sum and product of roots
are:

Also, the sum being negative implies that the negative root has a greater magnitude.
Thus, the correct answer is:

• So, the vertex is at (− 3 , 3).
Solution 3: (C)
Step 1: Identify the Parabola's Direction
• The equation is y = √3x 2 + 4x + 1.
• Since the coefficient of x 2 (a = √3) is positive, the parabola opens upward.
Step 2: Find the Vertex

3
Since √3 ≈ 1.732, we approximate:
2(1.732) 3.464
x≈− =− ≈ −1.15
3 3
So, the vertex is to the left of the 𝐲-axis.
Step 3: Identify the Correct Graph
Solution 4: (C)
Step 1: Identify the Parabola's Direction
• The given equation is:
y = x 2 − 2√5x + 5
• Since the coefficient of x 2 (a = 1) is positive, the parabola opens upward.
Step 2: Find the Vertex
• The vertex formula is:
b
x=−
2a
Substituting a = 1 and = −2√5 :
−2√5 2√5
x=− = = √5
2(1) 2
Approximating √5 ≈ 2.236, we get:
x ≈ 2.24
So, the vertex is at (√5, y), which is to the right of the y-axis.
• Now, compute y at x = √5 :
y = (√5)2 − 2√5(√5) + 5
y = 5 − 10 + 5 = 0
So, the vertex is at (√5, 0).
Step 3: Identify the Correct Graph
• The correct graph should:
• Open upward.
• Have the vertex positioned at (√5, 0), which is slightly to the right of the 𝐲 axis.
Checking the Graphs:
• (A): Opens downward → Incorrect.
• (B): Has a vertex to the left of the y-axis → Incorrect.
Solution 5: (D)
Analyzing the Given Parabola
• The parabola opens downward, meaning a < 0.
• The vertex is above the 𝐱-axis, meaning the maximum value is positive.
• The x-intercepts exist, so the discriminant b2 − 4ac > 0.
Checking the Given Options
b
1 Option (A): − 2a < 0
b
• The vertex formula x = − 2a.
b
• Since a < 0, the sign of − 2a depends on b.
b
• The vertex appears to be on the positive side of the x-axis, meaning − 2a > 0, so (𝐀)
is incorrect.
b2 −4ac
2 Option (B): − <0
4a
Solution 6: (B)
Key Observations:
• The parabola opens upward (a > 0).
• It crosses the 𝐱-axis at two points, meaning it has two distinct real roots (D > 0).
• The vertex is not on the 𝐲-axis, meaning b ≠ 0.
• The parabola touches the 𝐲-axis at the origin, meaning the 𝐲-intercept is at 0.
Solution 7: (A)
Solve D < 0 for = 16x 2 + 8(a + 5)x − 7a − 5 :
D = (8a + 40)2 − 4(16)(−7a − 5) < 0
64a2 + 1088a + 1920 < 0
Dividing by 64:
a2 + 17a + 30 < 0
Factoring:
(a + 15)(a + 2) < 0
Solution:
−15 < a < −2
Final Answer: (A).
Solution 8: (D)
For y = −x 2 + 3x − a2 to be strictly below the x-axis, the discriminant must be negative:
D = 9 − 4a2 < 0
9 3
< a2 ⇒ |a| >
4 2
None of the given options match this, so the correct answer is (D).
Solution 9: (B)
• If a > 0, the parabola opens upward, which is necessary for positivity.
Solution 1: (AD)
• The parabola opens downward, meaning a < 0. (Correct: A)
• It intersects the 𝐱-axis at two distinct points, meaning b2 − 4ac > 0, so (B) is
incorrect.
• The 𝐲-intercept is negative, meaning c < 0, so (C) is incorrect.
• Since the vertex is between the roots and the parabola opens downward, a and b must
have opposite signs. (Correct: D)
Solution 3: (ABC)
• Parabola opens upward since the coefficient of x 2 is positive.
• Check for x-intercepts by solving 3x 2 − x + 2 = 0.
D = (−1)2 − 4(3)(2) = 1 − 24 = −23
Since D < 0, the parabola never crosses the 𝐱-axis, meaning y > 0 for all x.
Step 2: Checking the Options
1 (A) Above the 𝐱-axis always → Correct, since y > 0 for all x.
2 (B) Above the 𝐱-axis in (𝟏, 𝟐) → Correct, but it's also true for all x. However, since
it holds in this interval, (𝐁) is still correct.
3 (C) Above y = 1 always → Check vertex y-value:
b 1
• Vertex at x = − 2a = 6.
1 2 1 69
• y = 3 (6) − 6 + 2 = 36 > 1.
Solution 4: (ABD)
Step 1: Understanding the Given Information
• The quadratic ax 2 + bx + c is negative only in the interval (−3,2).
• This means the parabola opens upward and is negative between its two roots x = −3
and x = 2, and positive elsewhere.

We have a quadratic function:
f(x) = ax 2 + bx + c
Given values:
f(1) = 4, f(3) = −7, f(6) = 14
Step 2: Identifying Root Locations
• f(3) = −7 is negative, meaning the function is below the x -axis at x = 3.
• f(1) = 4 and f(6) = 14 are positive, meaning the function is above the x -axis at x =
1 and x = 6.
Since f(x) changes signs between x = 1 and x = 3, one root must be in (1,3). Similarly,
since f(x) changes signs between x = 3 and x = 6, the other root must be in (𝟑, 𝟔).

We are given the quadratic equation:
ax 2 + bx + c = 0
with the conditions:
a+b+c>0
4a + 2b + c < 0
We need to determine the nature of the roots between x = 1 and x = 2.

• Since f(1) > 0 and f(2) < 0, the sign changes between x = 1 and x = 2.
• By the Intermediate Value Theorem, this means at least one root exists in (1,2).
• The quadratic equation can have either:
• Exactly one root in (1,2), with the other root outside this range.
• Both roots in (1,2), which would require a specific condition on the second derivative.
Since we do not have additional constraints to ensure both roots are in (1,2), we conclude:

We are given the equation:
(x − a)(x − c) + 2(x − b)(x − d) = 0
and the condition a < b < c < d. We need to analyze the nature of its roots using sign
analysis.
Step 1: Sign Analysis at 𝐱 = 𝐚, 𝐛, 𝐜, 𝐝
Evaluate at = 𝐚 :
• (x − a)(x − c) = 0 since x = a.
. (x − b)(x − d) = (a − b)(a − d). Since a < b and a < d, this is positive.
• Since the second term is multiplied by 2, it remains positive.
• Net sign at x = a → Positive.
Evaluate at = 𝐛 :
. (x − a)(x − c) = (b − a)(b − c). Since b > a but b < c, this is negative.
. (x − b)(x − d) = 0, so the second term is 0.
• Net sign at 𝐱 = 𝐛 → Negative.
Evaluate at = 𝐝 :
. (x − a)(x − c) = (d − a)(d − c). Since d > a and d > c, this is positive.
. (x − b)(x − d) = 0, so the second term is 0.
• Net sign at x = d → Positive.
Step 2: Conclusion on Roots
• The expression changes sign at two points: once between a and b, and once between c
and d.
• This indicates that the quadratic equation has two real and distinct roots.

y = 1 − 2x − x 2 , x ∈ (−2,2)
Step 1: Determine the Nature of the Function
• The given function is a quadratic in the form:
y = −x 2 − 2x + 1
• Since the coefficient of x 2 is negative, the parabola opens downward, meaning it has
a maximum value.

x=− =− = = −1
2a 2(−1) −2
Substituting x = −1 into :
ymax = 1 − 2(−1) − (−1)2

Solution 1: (C)
We are given that O is the center of the circle, and AD is the diameter. We need to determine
∠DOB given that ∠ACB = 135∘ .
Step 1: Understanding the Relationship Between Angles
• ACB is an inscribed angle subtending arc AB.
• The central angle ∠DOB subtends the same arc AB.
• The property of circles states that an inscribed angle is half of the corresponding
central angle.
Step 2: Using the Circle Theorem
∠DOB = 2 × ∠ACB
Substituting the given value:
∠DOB = 2 × 135∘ = 270∘
Step 3: Checking for a Reflex Angle
Since a central angle cannot exceed 180∘ in this case (as it represents the angle inside the
circle), we must consider the minor angle instead:
∠DOB = 360∘ − 270∘ = 90∘
Thus, the correct answer is:
90∘ (C)

In △ OBC
OB = OC = r
Where r is the radius of the circle,
∴ ∠OBC = ∠OCB
∠OBC + ∠OCB + ∠BOC = 180∘
Or 2∠OBC = 180∘ − 130∘
Or ∠OBC = 25∘
Also PB = PC

This means PA = PB, and ∠OPA = ∠OPB = 30∘ .
2. Angle between a tangent and radius is 90∘ .
∠OAP = 90∘ and ∠OBP = 90∘ because the radius is perpendicular to the tangent at
the point of contact.

∴ OP is an angle bisector of ∠RPA
∴ ∠OPR = 20∘ = ∠OPT
As, ∠ORP = 90∘ = ∠OTP (Radius and tangents are perpendicular to each other)

Step 1: Choices for the first digit
• The first digit of an n-digit number can be any digit from 1 to 9 (since 0 is not
allowed as the first digit).
• Therefore, there are 9 choices for the first digit.
Step 2: Choices for subsequent digits
• Each subsequent digit can be any digit from 0 to 9, except the digit used immediately
before it (to ensure no two consecutive digits are the same).
• Thus, for each of the remaining n − 1 digits, there are 9 choices (since one digit is
restricted due to the consecutive restriction).

Step 2: Arrangements around a circular table
For circular arrangements of n people, the total number of arrangements is (n − 1) !.
• Here, the number of units = 10
• The number of circular arrangements = (10 − 1)! = 9 !
Step 3: Arranging the President and Secretary within the unit

Step 2: Seating the two particular persons
Since the two particular persons must sit on either side of the host:
• They can be seated in 𝟐! = 𝟐 ways (one on the left and one on the right, or vice
versa).
Step 3: Arranging the remaining people
The remaining 20 − 2 = 18 people can be seated in ! ways.

• The total number of 4-digit numbers that can be formed using the digits 3,4,5,6 is:
4! = 24
(Since all digits are distinct)
• Each digit will appear (4 − 1)! = 6 times in every position (including the unit place).
This is a property of permutations:
• Each digit will occupy each of the 4 positions exactly 6 times across all the permutations.
Step-by-step Calculation:
• The digits: 3,4,5,6
• Each digit will appear in the unit place 6 times.
• Sum contributed by each digit in the unit place:
• 3 → 3 × 6 = 18
• 4 → 4 × 6 = 24
• 5 → 5 × 6 = 30
• 6 → 6 × 6 = 36
Total Sum:

The word "REASON" consists of 6 distinct letters (R, E, A, S, O, N).
The total number of arrangements of 6 distinct letters = 6! = 720.
Step 2: Condition on R, S, and N
We have a specific order condition among three letters:
𝐑 must come before 𝐒 and 𝐒 must come before 𝐍.
• Out of the 𝟔! = 𝟕𝟐𝟎 total arrangements, the letters 𝐑, 𝐒, 𝐍 can appear in any order.
• There are 3! = 6 possible orders for the three letters (R, S, N) :

• RNS
• SRN
• SNR
• NRS
• NSR
• Only 1 of these 6 arrangements satisfies the required condition: 𝐑 before 𝐒 before 𝐍.

cos 4 x + cos 2 xsin2 x + sin2 x
We factor the terms:
cos 4 x + cos 2 xsin2 x + sin2 x = cos 2 x(cos2 x + sin2 x) + sin2 x
Since cos 2 x + sin2 x = 1, we simplify:
cos 2 x(1) + sin2 x = cos 2 x + sin2 x = 1
Step 2: Simplify the Denominator
The given denominator is:
cos 2 x + sin2 xcos2 x + sin4 x
Factor out sin2 x from the last two terms:
cos 2 x + sin2 x(cos2 x + sin2 x)
Since cos 2 x + sin2 x = 1, this simplifies to:

Solution 4: (C)
Step 1: Square Both Equations and Add
Squaring the first equation:
(acos θ + bsin θ)2 = m2
Expanding:
a2 cos2 θ + 2abcos θsin θ + b2 sin2 θ = m2
Squaring the second equation:
(asin θ − bcos θ)2 = n2
Expanding:
a2 sin2 θ − 2absin θcos θ + b2 cos 2 θ = n2
Now, adding both equations:
a2 cos2 θ + b2 sin2 θ + 2 ab cos θ sin θ + a2 sin2 θ + b2 cos 2 θ − 2 ab cos θ sin θ
= m2 + n2
Since cos 2 θ + sin2 θ = 1, we get:
a2 (cos2 θ + sin2 θ) + b2 (cos 2 θ + sin2 θ) = m2 + n2
a2 + b2 = m2 + n2
Final Answer:

Solution 1: (C)
We are given that the lines:
• Cut off an intercept −𝟏 from the 𝐲-axis
• Are equally inclined to the axes
Step-by-step Explanation:
Lines that are equally inclined to the axes have slopes of either +𝟏 or −𝟏.
This is because the angle between such a line and the x -axis is 45∘ or 135∘ , making the
slope:
• m = tan (45∘ ) = 1 → Line equation: y = x + c
• m = tan (135∘ ) = −1 → Line equation: y = −x + c
So, their general equations will be:
1. y = x + c → Rearranged: x − y + c = 0
2. y = −x + c → Rearranged: x + y − c = 0
We are told that the y-intercept is −1 for both lines. That means, when x = 0, y = −1.
Plug into both equations:
1. For x − y + c = θ
When x = θ, y = −1 → θ − (−1) + c = θ → 1 + c = θ → c = −1
So: x − y − 1 = θ
2. For x + y − c = θ
Again, x = θ, y = −1 → 0 + (−1) − c = θ → −1 − c = θ → c = −1
So: x + y + 1 = θ
Final Answer:
Equations:
• x−y−1= θ
Solution 2: (A)
We are asked to find the equation of a line with:
• Slope = 3
• Cuts off an intercept 3 from the positive x-axis
Step-by-step solution:
We use the slope-intercept form of a line:
y = mx + c
Where:
• m = 3 (slope is given)
• It cuts off an intercept 3 from the 𝐱-axis, meaning it crosses the x -axis at (3,0)
Now substitute the point (3,0) into the equation:
0 = 3(3) + c ⇒ 0 = 9 + c ⇒ c = −9
So the equation is:
y = 3x − 9
Final Answer:
(A) y = 3x − 9

So, slope = 3
Solution 5: (D)
We are given:
• A line passes through point P(1,2)
• The intercept between the axes is bisected at this point
This means the x - and y -intercepts are symmetric with respect to point (1,2)
Step-by-step:
Let the line cut the x -axis at (a, 0) and y -axis at (0, b). Then the midpoint of segment
joining (a, 0) and (0, b) is:
a+0 0+b a b
( , )=( , )
2 2 2 2
We are told this midpoint is (1,2), so:
a b
= 1 ⇒ a = 2 and = 2 ⇒ b = 4

So the line passes through (2,0) and (0,4)
Now find the equation of the line through (𝟎, 𝟒) and (𝟐, 𝟎)
Using two-point form:

slope = = −2 ⇒ y − 0 = −2(x − 2) ⇒ y = −2x + 4 ⇒ 2x + y = 4

We are to find equations of lines that:
• pass through the origin, and
• are inclined at an angle tan−1 m to the line y = mx + c
Step 1: Direction of original line
Line y = mx + c has angle θ = tan−1 m with x -axis
Lines inclined at angle tan−1 m to it → angles = θ ± tan−1 m
So the required lines make angles 2tan−1 m and 0 with x-axis
Step 2: Use angle-doubling identity

∴ 𝑐 = ±√2/2
Required equation is 𝑥 + 𝑦 ± √2/2 = 0
Now the lines 𝑂𝐵 and 𝑂𝐶 are in 3rd quadrant.
This line meets both 𝑂𝐵 and 𝑂𝐶 and hence it will also be in 3rd quadrant, so will the
intercepts on the axes will be -ve.
Therefore we should choose + sign out of ±.
Hence the required line is

In roster form, 𝐴 = {−2,8}, so the answer is (C) {−2,8}.
Solution 2: (C)
The given set is:
𝐴 = {𝑥: 𝑥 is a state in India }
Since India has a finite number of states (currently 28), the set 𝐴 is finite.
Thus, the correct answer is (C) finite set.
Solution 3: (B)
The given set is {1,2,3}.
Step 1: Find the Total Number of Subsets
A set with 𝑛 elements has 2𝑛 subsets.
For = 3 :
23 = 8 subsets
Step 2: Find the Number of Proper Subsets
Proper subsets exclude the set itself. So,
8−1=7
Thus, the correct answer is (B) 7.
Solution 5: (C)
We need to find the number of elements in 𝐴 ∪ 𝐵 given:
𝑛(𝐴) = 20, 𝑛(𝐵) = 28, 𝑛(𝐴 ∩ 𝐵) = 8
Using the formula for the union of two sets:
𝑛(𝐴 ∪ 𝐵) = 𝑛(𝐴) + 𝑛(𝐵) − 𝑛(𝐴 ∩ 𝐵)
𝑛(𝐴 ∪ 𝐵) = 20 + 28 − 8 = 40
Thus, the correct answer is (C) 40.
Solution 6: (B)
We need to find the smallest set 𝐴 such that:
𝐴 ∪ {1,2} = {1,2,3,5,9}
Step 1: Understand the Union
The union operation means that all elements from both sets must be included in the result.
Since {1,2} is already in the given union, 𝐴 must contain the remaining elements:
𝐴 ∪ {1,2} = {1,2,3,5,9}
For this to be true, 𝐴 must at least contain {3,5,9}, since {1,2} is already included.
Step 2: Find the Smallest 𝑨
The smallest possible 𝐴 that satisfies this condition is:
𝐴 = {3,5,9}
Thus, the correct answer is (B) {3,5,9}.
Solution 8: (D)
Let's carefully analyze the problem and confirm why the correct answer is (D) 𝐴 − (𝐵 ∪ 𝐶).
Step 1: Understand the Given Venn Diagram
The shaded region represents elements that are only in 𝐴 and not in 𝐵 ∪ 𝐶.
• 𝐵 ∪ 𝐶 consists of all elements that belong to either 𝐵 or 𝐶 or both.
• 𝐴 − (𝐵 ∪ 𝐶) means the elements that are in 𝐴 but not in 𝐵 ∪ 𝐶.
Step 2: Verify the Answer
Since the shaded region excludes any part of 𝐵 ∪ 𝐶 and only includes the portion of 𝐴 that is
outside 𝐵 ∪ 𝐶, the correct representation is:
𝐴 − (𝐵 ∪ 𝐶)
Thus, the correct answer is (D) 𝐴 − (𝐵 ∪ 𝐶).
Solution 9: (C)
Solution 1: (BC)
We analyze each option:
1. (A) 𝐴 ∪ 𝐵 = 𝐴
• This is incorrect because 𝐴 ∪ 𝐵 must be 𝐵, not 𝐴, since 𝐵 contains at least all
elements of 𝐴.
2. (B) 𝐴 ∪ 𝐵 = 𝐵
• This is correct because 𝐴 is already a subset of 𝐵, so taking the union does not add
anything new beyond 𝐵.
3. (C) 𝐴 ∩ 𝐵 = 𝐴
• This is also correct because the intersection of a set with its superset is always the
smaller set, which is 𝐴.
4. (D) 𝐴 ∩ 𝐵 = 𝐵
• This is incorrect because 𝐴 ∩ 𝐵 must be 𝐴, not necessarily 𝐵, unless 𝐴 = 𝐵.
Final Answer:
The correct options are (B) and (C).
Solution 3: (BCD)
𝑃(𝐴) = {𝜙, {1}}
Clearly, 𝜙 ∈ 𝑃(𝐴)
Also, 𝜙 is the subset of every set.
Solution 4: (CD)

Now check each option:
• (A) - 𝟏 → In removed interval → Wrong
• (B) 𝟎 → In removed interval → Wrong
• (C) 1 → Not in removed interval → Correct
• (D) 𝟐 → Outside removed interval → Correct
Solution 5: (AC)
Step 1: Analyze Each Option
1. (A) (1,2] ∩ (2,3]
• The interval (1,2] includes values from greater than 𝟏 to 𝟐 (inclusive).
• The interval (2,3] includes values from greater than 𝟐 to 𝟑 (inclusive).
• There is no overlap between these two intervals.
• So, their intersection is an empty set.
2. (B) (1,2] ∪ (2,3]
• The union of these two intervals means we take all elements in both.
• Since they do not overlap, the result is simply (1,2] ∪ (2,3], which is NOT empty.
• Not a null set.
3. (C) (1,2] − (0,3)
• The interval (1,2] consists of numbers from greater than 𝟏 to 𝟐 (inclusive).
• The interval (0,3) consists of numbers from greater than 𝟎 to less than 3.
• All elements of (1,2] are inside (0,3), so removing (0,3) from (1,2] leaves us with an
empty set.
• This is a null set.
4. (D) (0,3) − (1,2]
• The interval (0,3) consists of numbers from greater than 𝟎 to less than 𝟑.
• The interval (1,2] consists of numbers from greater than 𝟏 to 𝟐 (inclusive).
• Removing (1,2] from (0,3) leaves us with the interval (0,1] ∪ (2,3), which is NOT
empty.
• Not a null set.
Final Answer:
The correct answers are (A) and (C).
Solution 1: (9)
Since 2𝑚 − 2𝑛 = 56 = 8 × 7 = 23 × 7 ⇒ 2𝑛 (2𝑚−𝑛 − 1) = 23 × 7

∴ 𝑚 = 6, 𝑛 = 3

35−2a2
Check each a to see if is a perfect square.

• a = ±4 : 2(16) = 32,35 − 32 = 3, b2 = 1 ⇒ b = ±1
→ 2 values of a × 2 values of b = 4 solutions

• a = 0: 2(0) = 0,35 − 0 = 35, b2 = → not valid

Subsets of power set = 28 = 256
So, 𝑘 = 256

• Find number of ordered pairs (𝒀, 𝒁) such that:
• 𝑌⊆𝑋
• 𝑍⊆𝑋

Key Insight:
For each element in 𝑋, you can:
1. Put it in 𝒀
2. Put it in 𝒁
3. Leave it in neither
(You cannot put it in both 𝒀 and 𝒁, since they must be disjoint.)
So, for each of the 𝟓 elements, you have 𝟑 valid choices (𝑌, 𝑍, or neither).

• 𝐵 = people who speak Bengali = 400
• Let 𝑥 = number of people who speak both
Then:
• Only Hindi = 𝐻 − 𝑥 = 750 − 𝑥
• Only Bengali = 𝐵 − 𝑥 = 400 − 𝑥
• Total who speak Hindi or Bengali = (750 − 𝑥) + (400 − 𝑥) + 𝑥 = 1000 − 𝑥 But the

Statement (A)
𝐴 − 𝐵 = 𝐴 − (𝐴 ∩ 𝐵)
• Explanation:
𝐴 − 𝐵 means the elements in 𝐴 that are not in 𝐵.
Since 𝐴 ∩ 𝐵 is exactly those elements in 𝐴 that are also in 𝐵, removing 𝐴 ∩ 𝐵 from 𝐴
gives you the elements in 𝐴 not in 𝐵.
• Conclusion: (A) is correct.
Statement (B)
𝐴 = (𝐴 ∩ 𝐵) ∪ (𝐴 − 𝐵)
• Explanation:
Every element of 𝐴 either belongs to 𝐵 (i.e. ∩ 𝐵 ) or does not (i.e. 𝐴 − 𝐵 ). These two parts
are disjoint and their union is 𝐴.
• Conclusion: ( 𝐵 ) is correct.
Statement (C)
𝐴 − (𝐵 ∪ 𝐶) = (𝐴 − 𝐵) ∪ (𝐴 − 𝐶)
• Explanation:
The correct identity is:
𝐴 − (𝐵 ∪ 𝐶) = (𝐴 − 𝐵) ∩ (𝐴 − 𝐶)
Not the union.

Here 𝑁 = 123, 𝑛(𝐼) = 42, 𝑛(𝑇) = 36, 𝑛(𝐶) = 30, 𝑛(𝐼 ∩ 𝑇) = 15, 𝑛(𝐼 ∩ C) = 10.
𝑛(𝐶 ∩ 𝑇 ∩ 𝐼) = 4, 𝑛(𝐼 ∩ 𝑇 ∩ 𝐶) = 11
Now 𝑛(𝐼 ∩ 𝑇 ∩ 𝐶) + 𝑛(𝐼 ∩ 𝑇 ∩ 𝐶) = 𝑛(𝐼 ∩ 𝑇)
⇒ 11 + 𝑛(𝐼 ∩ 𝑇 ∩ 𝐶) = 15 ⇒ 𝑛(𝐼 ∩ 𝑇 ∩ 𝐶) = 4
Also, 𝑛(𝐶 ∩ 𝑇) = 𝑛(𝐶 ∩ 𝑇 ∩ 𝐼) + 𝑛(𝐶 ∩ 𝑇 ∩ 𝐼)
⇒ 𝑛(𝐶 ∩ 𝑇) = 4 + 4 = 8
∴ 𝑛(𝐶 ∩ 𝑇 ∩ 𝐼) = 𝑁 − 𝑛(𝐶) − 𝑛(𝑇) − 𝑛(𝐶 ∩ 𝑇)
+𝑛(𝐼 ∩ 𝐶) + 𝑛(𝑇 ∩ 𝐼) − 𝑛(𝐶 ∩ 𝑇 ∩ 𝐼)
= 123 − 30 − 36 − 42 + 8 + 10 + 15 − 4 = 44

Solution 3: (C)
Given:
• 30 sets 𝐴1 , 𝐴2 , 𝐴30 , each having 5 elements
• 𝑛 sets 𝐵1 , 𝐵2 , 𝐵𝑛 , each having 3 elements
• Union of all 𝐴𝑖 and all 𝐵𝑗 is the same set 𝑆
• Every element in 𝑆 appears in:
• exactly 10 of the 𝐴𝑖 's
• exactly 9 of the 𝐵𝑗′ s
Goal: Find the value of 𝑛
Step 1: Let size of 𝑺 be 𝒙
Now, total number of elements (with repetition) in all the 𝐴𝑖 sets =
30 × 5 = 150
Each element of 𝑆 appears in 10 of the 𝐴𝑖 sets, so:
𝑥 × 10 = 150 ⇒ 𝑥 = 15

So 𝑆 has 15 elements
Step 2: Each 𝑩𝒋 has 3 elements, and each element appears in 𝟗 𝑩𝒋 s:
Let total number of 𝐵𝑗′ 𝑠 be 𝑛
So, total number of elements (with repetition) in all 𝐵𝑗 sets =
𝑛×3
Also, from above:
𝑥 = 15 elements, each appears in 9 sets ⇒ 15 × 9 = 135
So,
135
𝑛 × 3 = 135 ⇒ 𝑛 = = 45

Solution 4: (B)
Step 1: Use Inclusion-Exclusion
Let:
• A = even (Math) → 70 students
• B = divisible by 3 (Physics) → 46 students
• C = divisible by 5 (Chemistry) → 28 students
Now count:
• A ∩ B = divisible by 6 → 23
• A ∩ C = divisible by 10 → 14
• B ∩ C = divisible by 15 → 9
• A ∩ B ∩ C = divisible by 30 → 4
Total who opted for at least one course:
A + B + C − (A ∩ B + B ∩ C + C ∩ A) + (A ∩ B ∩ C)
= 70 + 46 + 28 − (23 + 9 + 14) + 4 = 144 − 46 + 4 = 102
Now count:
• A ∩ B = divisible by 6 → 23
• A ∩ C = divisible by 10 → 14
• B ∩ C = divisible by 15 → 9
• A ∩ B ∩ C = divisible by 30 → 4
Total who opted for at least one course:
A + B + C − (A ∩ B + B ∩ C + C ∩ A) + (A ∩ B ∩ C)
= 70 + 46 + 28 − (23 + 9 + 14) + 4 = 144 − 46 + 4 = 102
Students who opted for none = 140 − 102 = 38

problem).
• (B): Incorrect. Independent events can occur simultaneously unless one has probability 0.
• (D): Incorrect. Independence does not constrain 𝑃(𝐸) + 𝑃(𝐹).

Solution 3:
Let the four integers are a, b, c, d.
The last digit of any of these integers would be from the set {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}. Hence, the no. of
elements in the sample space = 104
Now, for the last digit of the product being 5 , the last digit of every integer must be odd and at least
one of them should be 5 .
⇒ The no. of ways in which the last digits of all the 4 integers are odd = 54 & in this, the no. of
ways in which none of them is 5 (all are chosen from 1, 3, 7 and 9) = 44
Hence, favourable no. of ways =
54 − 44 409

Solution 4: (D)
Clearly, A and B both events can occur simultaneously, hence not mutually exclusive.
There are some outcomes like Y wins the 1st match, also which neither lies in A nor in B, hence not
exhaustive.
46
Also, If A occurs i.e. 𝑋 wins the first match the probability of 𝐵 becomes 101, but if A does not occur
45
then the probability of B remains 101.
Hence, A and B are not independent of each other.
