(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: We know that in an A.P., the sum of terms equidistant from beginning and end is constant.
∴ Assertion is true.

Also, Reason is true but Assertion is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
Section B
21. Given, average of marks of 15 students is 45
So sum of marks obtained by 15 students = 15 × 45 = 675
Also, average of first 8 students is 48
⇒ sum of marks obtained by first 8 students = 8 × 48 = 384

and average of last 8 students is 42

⇒ sum of marks obtained by last 8 students = 8 × 42 = 336

The marks obtained by 8th student = (384 + 336) - 675 = 720 - 675 = 45
Hence, the marks obtained by 8th student are 45

22. Given set A = {2, 3} ...(i)
and set B = {x : x is a solution of x2 - 5x + 6 = 0}
For solution of x2 - 5x + 6 = 0
(x - 2) (x - 3) = 0 ⇒ x - 2 = 0 or x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 2, 3
∴ set B = {2, 3} ...(ii)

From (i) and (ii), we notice sets A and B are equal.

OR
n (T) = 100
n (T - C) = 65
n (T ∪ C) = 210
n (T - C) = n (T) - n (T ∩ C)
65 = 100 - n (T ∩ C)
n (T ∩ C) = 35
n (T ∪ C) = n (T) + n (C) - n (T ∩ C)
210 = 100 + n (C) - 35
n (C) = 145.
Now,
n(C - T) = n(C) - n(C ∩ T)
n(C - T) = 145 - 35
n(C - T) = 110
23. Let distance covered at the speed of 40 km/h be x km
∴ Time taken = hrs x

Section C
26. Given a = 11 and the sum of first four terms is 56.
Let d be the common difference, then 56 = (2 × 11 + (4 - 1) × d) 4

⇒ 28 = 22 + 3d ⇒ d = 2
Let n be the number of terms and l be the last term.
Then the last four terms are l - 6, l - 4, l - 2, and l
According to given, (l - 6) + (l - 4) + (l - 2) + l = 112
⇒ 4l - 12 = 112

⇒ l = 31

28. Given, f(x) = |2x - 3| - 3
The domain of the expression is all real number except where the expression is undefined. In this case, there is not real number
that makes the expression undefined.
∴ Domain of f = (-∞ , ∞ ) = R

The absolute value of expression has a 'V' shape. The range of a positive absolute value expression starts at its vertex and extends
to infinity.
Range of f = [−3, ∞) or {y : y ≥ −3}

(93,000 - 6x) = 3000

Hence, two parts are ₹ 8,000 and ₹(15,500 - 8,000) = ₹ 7,500

(1 + 0.01 R)3 = (1.05)3
1 + 0.01 R = 1.05
0.01 R = 0.05
R=5
Thus, the annual rate of growth is 5%

The purpose of the student council is to give students an opportunity to develop leadership by organizing and carrying out school
activities and service projects. Create an environment where every student can voice out their concern or need. Raju, Ravi Joseph,
Sangeeta, Priya, Meena and Aman are members of student’s council. There is a photo session in a school these 7 students are to be
seated in a row for photo session.

(i) Given Raju and Ravi are at the extreme positions

Case 1 Raju ______ ______ ______ ______ ______ Ravi
Case 2 Ravi ______ ______ ______ ______ ______ Raju
So remaining 5 places are filled in 5! Ways in both cases
5! = 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 120
Hence total number of arrangements = 120 × 2 = 240 ways

Page 15 of 16

So here middle place is occupied by Joseph remaining 6 places are filled by remaining 6 students in 6! Ways
6! = 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 720 ways
(iii)When all girls are together let’s consider them as a single unit. So four 4 boys with single group of girls can be arranged
in 4 + 1 = 5! Ways
______ ______ ______ ______
5! = 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 120
But all the tree girls can be arranged in themselves in 3! Ways = 3 × 2 × 1 = 6
Hence total number of ways = 5! × 3! = 120 × 6 = 720
(iv)When Aman and Ravi are together let’s consider them as a single unit. So remaining 5 students with single group of
Aman and Ravi can be arranged in 5 + 1 = 6! Ways
______ ______ ______ ______

6! = 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 720
But Aman and Ravi can be arranged in themselves in 2! Ways = 2 × 1 = 2
Hence total number of ways = 6! × 2! = 720 × 2 = 1440 ways ...(i)
Total number of sitting arrangements of all 7 students without restriction
______ ______ ______ ______ ______ ______ ______
All seven students can fill seven seats in 7! Ways
7! = 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 5040 ways ...(ii)
But here we need the number of arrangements so that Aman and Ravi are not together = Total number of sitting
arrangements of all 7 students without restriction - Number of arrangements so that Aman and Ravi are together.
From (i) and (ii) we have
The number of arrangements so that Aman and Ravi are not together = 5040 - 1440 = 3600
