What symbolizes or confirms the Harappan Civilization's contact with distant lands?1. Traces of Harappan artifacts in present Saudi Arabia.2. A distinctive type of vessel, a large Harappan jar coated with a thick layer of black clay has been found at Omani sites.3. Mesopotamian texts.4. Harappan Seals.1. 1, 2, and 3 only2. 2, 3, and 4 only3. 1, 2, 3 and 44. 1, 3 and 4

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 2, 3, and 4 only

The correct answer is 2, 3, and 4 only.

  • Archaeological findings suggest that copper was also brought from Oman, on the southeastern tip of the Arabian peninsula. Hence, Statement 1 is incorrect.
    • Chemical analyses have shown that both the Omani copper and Harappan artifacts have traces of nickel, suggesting a common origin.
  • A distinctive type of vessel, a large Harappan jar coated with a thick layer of black clay has been found at Omani sites. Hence, Statement 2 is correct.
    • Thick coatings prevent the percolation of liquids.
  • It is possible that the Harappans exchanged the contents of these vessels for Omani copper.
  • Mesopotamian texts datable to the third millennium BCE refer to copper coming from a region called Magan, perhaps a name for Oman, and interestingly enough copper found at Mesopotamian sites also contains traces of nickel. Hence, Statement 3 is correct.
  • Other archaeological finds suggestive of long-distance contacts include Harappan seals, weights, dice, and beads. Hence, Statement 4 is correct.
  • It is worth noting that Mesopotamian texts mention contact with regions named Dilmun (probably the island of Bahrain), Magan, and Meluhha, possibly the Harappan region.
  • They mention the products from Meluhha: carnelian, lapis lazuli, copper, gold, and varieties of wood.
  • Communication with Oman, Bahrain, or Mesopotamia was likely by sea.
  • Mesopotamian texts refer to Meluhha as a land of seafarers.
  • Besides, we find depictions of ships and boats on seals.

Insert 4harmonic means between 1&1/6

Answer»

Let a1, a2, a3, a4 are required harmonic means.

Then 1, a1, a2, a3, a4\(\frac16\) is a harmonic sequence.

∴ \(1, \frac1{a_1}, \frac1{a_2},\frac1{a_3},\frac1{a_4},6\) is an arithmetic sequence.

∴ \(d = \frac{b-a}{n +1} = \frac{6 - 1}{4 + 1}=\frac55 = 1\)

∴ \(\frac1{a_1} = a + d = 1 + 1 = 2\)

⇒ \(a_1 = \frac12\)

\(\frac1{a_2} = a + 2d = 1 + 2 = 3\)

⇒ \(a_2 = \frac13\)

\(\frac1{a_3} = a + 3d = 1 + 3 = 4\)

⇒ \(a_3 = \frac14\) 

\(\frac1{a_4} = a + 4d = 1 +4 = 5\)

⇒ \(a_4= \frac15\)

Hence, \(\frac12, \frac13,\frac14\) & \(\frac15\) are inserted hormonic means between 1 & \(\frac16\).

1. If \( A \) and \( B \) are two sets, then show that (i) \( (A \cup B)^{c}=A^{c} \cap B^{c} \) (ii) \( (A \cap B)^{c}=A^{c} \cup B^{c} \) 2. If \( A \) and \( B \) are two sets, then show that (i) \( A-B=A \cap B^{c} \) (ii) \( B-A=B \cap A^{c} \) (iii) \( A-B=A \Leftrightarrow A \cap B=\phi \) (iv) \( (A-B) \cup B=A \cup B \) (v) \( (A-B) \cap B= \)

Answer»

1. (i) Let \(x\in (A\cup B)^c\) 

⇔ \(x \in U \;\text{but}\; x\notin(A\cup B)\)

⇔ \(x\in U\; \text{and}\;x\notin A \; \text{and}\; x\not\in B\)

⇔ \((x\in U \;\text{and}\; x\not\in A)\) and \(x\in U \;\text{and } x\not\in B\)

⇔ \(x\in A ^c \;\text{and}\; x\in B^c\)

⇔ \(x\in A^c \cap B^c\)

⇔ \((A \cup B)^c = A^c \cap B ^c\)

(ii) Let \(x\in (A\cap B)^c\) 

⇔ \(x \in U \;\text{but}\; x\notin(A\cap B)\)

⇔ \(x\in U\; \text{and}\;x\notin A \; \text{and}\; x\not\in B\)

⇔ \((x\in U \;\text{and}\; x\not\in A)\) and \(x\in U \;\text{and } x\not\in B\)

⇔ \(x\in A ^c \;\text{and}\; x\in B^c\)

⇔ \(x\in A^c \cup B^c\)

\(\implies\) implies that \((A \cap B)^c\; \underline C \;A^c \cup B^c\)

\(\impliedby \) implies that \(A^c \cup B^c \;\underline C \;(A \cup B)^c\)

∴ ⇔ implies that \((A \cap B)^c\; =\;A^c \cup B^c\) 

2. (i) Let \(x \in A - B\)

⇔ \(x \in A\; \text{and}\;x \notin B\)

⇔ \(x \in A\; \text{and}\;x \in B^c\)

⇔ \(x \in A \cap B ^c\)

⇔ \(A - B = A\cap B^c\)

(ii) Let \(x \in B- A\)

⇔ \(x \in B\; \text{and}\;x \notin A\)

⇔ \(x \in B\; \text{and}\;x \in A^c\)

⇔ \(x \in B \cap A ^c\)

⇔ \(B - A = B\cap A^c\)

(iii) A  - B = A

⇒ \(A \cap B ^c = A\)

⇒ \((A\cap B^c) \cap b = A \cap B\)

⇒ \(A \cap (B^c \cap B ) =A \cap B \)

⇒ \(A\cap \phi = A\cap B\)  \((\because B \cap B^c = \phi)\)

⇒ \(A \cap B = \phi\)         \((\because A \cap \phi = \phi)\)

(iv) \((A - B)\cup B = (A \cap B ^c)\cup B\)

\(= (A \cup B) \cap (B^c \cup B)\)

\(= (A \cup B) \cap U\)  \((\therefore B^c \cup B = U)\)

\(= A\cup B \)            \((\therefore A \cap U = A)\)

(v) \((A - B) \cap B = (A \cap B^c) \cap B \)

\(= A \cap (B^c \cap B)\) 

\(= A \cap \phi \)   \((\because B^c \cap B = \phi)\)

\(= \phi\)          \(\left(A \cap \phi = \phi\right)\)

Let A={1,2,3,4,5,6}and B={2,4,6,8,10} find 1)AUB 2)A intersection B

Answer»

\(A = \{1,2, 3, 4, 5, 6\}\)

\(B= \{2,4,6,8,10\}\)

\(\therefore A \cup B = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10\}\)

\(A \cap B = \{2, 4, 6\}\).

16.

Let A = {x, y, z} and B = {1,2}. Find the number of functions that can be defined from set A to set B.

Answer»

Given A = {x, y, z} & B = {1, 2}

Number of relations from A to B = 2Number of elements in A x B

= 2Number of elements in set A x Number of elements in set B

= 2n(A) x n(B)

Number of elements in set A = 3

Number of elements in set B = 2

Number of relations from A to B = 2n(A) x n(B) 

= 23x2 

= 26 

= 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 

= 64
