ASSERTION-REASON BASED QUESTIONS

In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R).
Choose the correct answer out of the following choices.
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 4-

(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true.

19. Assertion (A): A function f: N → N be defined by:

 n 1
 2 , if n is odd
f ( n)  
 n, if n is even for all n  N one  one
 2
Reason (R): A function f: A → B is said to be injective if f(a) = f(b) ⇒ a = b
Ans: (d) A is false but R is true.
11
For n = 1, f(1) = =1
2
For n = 2, f(2) = 2/2 = 1
⇒ f(1) = f(2) = 1
⇒ f(x) is not one-one
∴ Assertion is false

But the definition of injectivity is true so, the reason is true.

26. Let R be a relation on the set A of ordered pairs of positive integers defined as (x, y) R(u, v) if
and only if xv = yu. Show that, R is an equivalence relation. [3]
Ans: Clearly, (x, y) S(u, v) for all (x, y) ∈ A,
since xy = yx for all positive integers x and y.
This show that S is reflexive.
Further, (x, y) S(u, v)
⇒ xv = yu ⇒ uy = vx ⇒ (u, v) S(x, y)
and hence (u, v) S(x, y)
This shows that S is symmetric.
Suppose, (x, y) S(u, v) and (u, v) S(a, b)
So, xv = yu and ub = va

 a u b a a b
⇒ xv  yu ⇒ xv   yu [∵ ub = va ⇒  ]
u u v u u v
⇒ xb = ya
⇒ (x, y) S(a, b)
This shows that S is transitive.
Hence, S is an equivalence relation.

31. Find the points on the line   at a distance of 5 units from the point P(1, 3, 3).
3 2 2
x  2 y 1 z  3
Ans: Given, the equation of a line is:   = λ (say)
3 2 2
⇒ x = 3λ – 2, y = 2λ – 1, z = 2λ + 3
So, we have a point on the line is:
Q(3λ – 2, 2λ – 1, 2λ + 3) …….(i)
Now, given that distance between two points P(1, 3, 3) and Q(3λ – 2, 2λ – 1, 2λ + 3) is 5 units
i.e. PQ = 5
⇒ [(3  2  1) 2  (2  1  3)2  (2  3  3) 2 ]  5
On Squaring both sides, we get
(3λ – 3)2 + (2λ – 4)2 + (2λ)2 = 25
⇒ 9λ2 + 9 – 18λ + 4λ2 + 16 – 16λ + 4λ2 = 25
⇒ 17λ2 – 34λ = 0
⇒ 17λ (λ – 2) = 0
Either 17λ = 0 or λ – 2 = 0
∴ λ = 0 or 2
On putting λ = 0 and λ = 2 in equation (i),
we get the required point as (-2, -1, 3) or (4, 3, 7)

area.

33. A tank with a rectangular base and rectangular sides, open at the top is to be constructed so that
its depth is 2 m and volume is 8 cu m. If the building of the tank costs ₹ 70 per sq meter for the
base and ₹ 45 per sq meter for the sides, what is the cost of the least expensive tank?
Ans: Let x and y be the length and breadth of the rectangular base of the open tank.
Then, the volume (V) and the surface area (S) of the tank are given by,
V = 2xy; S = xy + 2(2x + 2y)

Thus, area of the base = xy = 4 m2
⇒ cost of the base = ₹ 280
and Area of four walls = 4(x + y) = 16
⇒ cost of walls = ₹ 720
⇒ Total cost of the tank = (₹ 280 + ₹ 720) = ₹ 1000

SECTION – E(Case Study Based Questions)

Questions 36 to 38 carry 4 marks each.

36. Case-Study 1: Read the following passage and answer the questions given below.
In a town, it’s rainy one-third of the day. Given that it is rainy, there will be heavy traffic with
probability 1/2. Given that it is not rainy, there will be heavy traffic with probability 1/4. If it’s
rainy and there is heavy traffic, I arrive late for work with probability 1/2. On the other hand, the
probability of being late is reduced to 1/8 if it, is not rainy and there is no heavy traffic. In other
situations (rainy and no heavy traffic, net rainy and heavy traffic), the probability of being late is
1/4. You pick a random day.

Based on the above information, answer the following questions:

(i) What is the probability that it’s not raining and there is heavy traffic and I am not late?
(ii) What is the probability that I am late?
(iii) Given that I arrived late at work, what is the probability that it rained that day?
OR
(iii) If P(not A) = 0.7, P(B) = 0.7 and P(B/A) = 0.5, then find the P(A/B)
Ans: From the given passage we can form a tree as below:

Given, P(A') = 0.7 and P(B') = 0.7 and P(B/A) = 0.5
Clearly, P(A) = 1 – P(A') = 1 – 0.7 = 0.3

37. Case-Study 2: Read the following passage and answer the questions given below.
Let R be the feasible region of a linear programming problem and let Z = ax + by be the
objective function. When Z has an optimal value (max. or min.), when the variable x and y are
subject to constraints described by linear inequalities, this optimal value occurs at the corner
point (vertex) of the feasible region.
Based on the above information, answer the following questions:
(i) What is an objective function of LPP? [1]
(ii) In solving an LPP “minimize f = 6x + 10y subject to constraints x ≥ 6, y ≥ 2, 2x + y ≥ 10, x ≥
0, y ≥ 0” which among is redundant constraint? [1]

 (iii) The feasible region for an LPP is shown in the figure. Let Z = 3x – 4y, be the objective
function. Then, at which point minimum of Z occurs? [2]

OR
The feasible region for an LPP is shown shaded in the figure. Let F = 3x – 4y be the objective
function. Then, what is the maximum value of F. [2]

Ans: (i) Objective function is a linear function whose maximum or minimum values is to be
found.
(ii) When x ≥ 6 and y ≥ 2, then
2x + y ≥ 2 × 6 + 2
i.e., 2x + y ≥ 14
Hence, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0, and 2x + y ≥ 10 are automatically satisfied by every point of the region.
Hence, answer is 2x + y ≥ 10, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0.
(iii) Minimum of z = -32 at (0, 8)
Corner Point z = 3x – 4y
(0, 0) 0
(5, 0) 3 x 5 – 4 x 0 = 15
(6, 5) 3 x 6 – 4 x 5 = -2
(6, 8) 3 x 6 – 4 x 8 = -14
(4, 10) 3 x 4 – 4 x 10 = -28
(0, 8) 3 x 0 – 4 x 8 = -32

OR
Maximum of z = 0 at (0, 0)
Corner Point F = 3x – 4y
(0, 0) 0
(6,12) 3 x 6 – 4 x 12 = -30
(6, 16) 3 x 6 – 4 x 16 = -46
(0, 4) 3 x 0 – 4 x 4 = -16

38. Case-Study 3:
As we know good planning can save energy, time, and money. A farmer wants to construct a
circular well and a square garden in his field. He wants to keep their perimeters 600 m.

Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 17

-
 Based on the above information, answer the following questions:
(i) If the radius of the circular garden is ‘r’ m and the side of the square garden is ‘x’ m, then
what is the sum of their areas? And find the number which exceeds its square by the greatest
possible. [2]
(ii) At what radius, is the sum of their areas is least? [2]
Ans: (i) Sum of area = πr2 + x2
But 2πr + 4x = 600
600  2 r
x

 600  2 r 
∴ Sum of areas =  r 2   

Assume y is the difference between x and its square
i.e., y = x – x2
For max. difference between the numbers
