For real numbers x and y, we write xRy ⇒ x – y + √2 is an irrational number. Then the relation R is1) Reflexive2) Symmetric3) Transitive4) None of these |
|
Answer» For each value of x ∈ R, x − x + √2 that is √2 is an irrational number. It is reflexive. Let x = √2 and y =2 then x − y + √2 = 2√2 – 2 which is irrational but when y = √2 and x = 2, x − y = √2 is not irrational. It is not symmetric. Let x − y + √2 is irrational & y − z + √2 is irrational then in above case let x = 1; y = √2 × 2 & z = 2 Hence x − z + √2 is not irrational, so, the relation is not transitive. |

A and B are working on an assignment. A takes 6 hours to type 32 pages on a computer, while B takes 5 hours to type 40 pages. How much time will they take, working together simultaneously, on two different computers to type an assignment of 110 pages?1. 34 hours2. 16 hours3. 27 hours4. 28 hours |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 34 hours Given: A takes 6 hours to type 32 pages on a computer. B takes 5 hours to type 40 pages. Calculations: Typing speed of A = 32/6 = (16/3) pages/hour Typing speed of B = 40/5 = 8 pages/hour So, the number of hours needed for typing 1 page by them = (3/16) + (1/8) = 5/16 Hence, the time taken to type 110 pages by them working together simultaneously is obtained as: ⇒ (5/16) × 110 = 34.375 hours ≈ 34 hours ∴ They will take 34 hours, when working together simultaneously. |

If (1,λ), (3,−2) and (−3,16) are collinear. Find the value of λ |
|
Answer» Let A(1,λ), B(3,-2), C(-3,16) be the vertices of abc, then the area of the triangle formed by them would be zero. ⇒ 0 = \(\frac{ 1}{2}|(x_1(y_2-y_3)+x_2(y_3-y_1)+x_3(y_1-y_2))| \) ⇒ 0 = 1(-2-16) + 3(16 - λ) + -3(λ + 2) ⇒ 0 = -18 + 48 - 6 - 3λ - 3λ ∴ 6λ = 24 ∴ λ = 4 |
