Q.2. Let

$$S=\{x : x \text{ is a vowel in the English alphabet which precedes k}\}, \quad T=\{y: y \text{ is a letter in the word “EDUCATION”}\}.$$

Find
(i) $S-T$
(ii) $S \cap T$.

Solution:

• Vowels before ‘k’: $A, E, I$. So $S=\{A,E,I\}$.

• Letters of EDUCATION: $T=\{E,D,U,C,A,T,I,O,N\}$.

(i) $S-T=\emptyset$ (since all $A,E,I$ are in T).
(ii) $S \cap T=\{A,E,I\}$.

Q.3. Draw the graph of $f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ defined by $f(x)=|x|$. Also write domain and range.

Solution:

• Graph: V-shaped, vertex at (0,0).

• Domain: $(-\infty,\infty)$.

• Range: $[0,\infty)$.

---

Q.4. A circular disc rotates 600 times in 10 minutes. Calculate the angle in radians turned in 20 seconds.

Solution:

• 10 minutes = 600 seconds.

• Rotations per second = $600/600=1$.

• In 20 seconds → 20 rotations.

• Angle = $20 \times 2\pi = 40\pi$ radians.

Q.5. Solve: $5-3(x+1)<2(4-x)$.

Solution:
$5-3x-3<8-2x \implies 2-3x<8-2x \implies -x<6 \implies x>-6.$
Answer: $x \in (-6,\infty)$.

---

Q.6. Find $\Re\left(\frac{1}{3+4i}\right)$.

Solution:

$$\frac{1}{3+4i}\cdot\frac{3-4i}{3-4i}=\frac{3-4i}{25}.$$

Real part = $\frac{3}{25}$.

---

Q.7. A committee of 6 members is to be formed from 7 boys and 9 girls. Find the number of ways the committee can have at least 5 girls.

Solution:

• Case 1: 5 girls + 1 boy = $\binom{9}{5}\binom{7}{1}=126 \times 7=882$.

• Case 2: 6 girls = $\binom{9}{6}=84$.
  Total = $882+84=966$.

---

Q.8. Expand $\Big(\frac{1}{x}-\frac{x}{2}\Big)^4$.

Solution:
Let $a=\frac{1}{x},\; b=-\frac{x}{2}$.
$(a+b)^4=a^4+4a^3b+6a^2b^2+4ab^3+b^4$.

• $a^4=\frac{1}{x^4}$.

• $4a^3b=4\cdot\frac{1}{x^3}\cdot\left(-\frac{x}{2}\right)=-\frac{2}{x^2}$.

• $6a^2b^2=6\cdot\frac{1}{x^2}\cdot\frac{x^2}{4}=\frac{3}{2}$.

• $4ab^3=4\cdot\frac{1}{x}\cdot\left(-\frac{x^3}{8}\right)=-\frac{x^2}{2}$.

• $b^4=\frac{x^4}{16}$.

Final expansion:

$$\frac{1}{x^4}-\frac{2}{x^2}+\frac{3}{2}-\frac{x^2}{2}+\frac{x^4}{16}.$$
