The set of all points where the function $f(x)=||x|$ is twice differentiable is

  1. $(-\infty, \infty)$
  2. $(-\infty, 0)\cup (0, \infty)$
  3. $(0, \infty)$
  4. $[0, \infty)$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The function can be simplified based on the absolute value definition. For x different from zero, the function equals x squared or negative x squared, which is infinitely differentiable. At x equals zero, the first derivative exists but the second derivative does not exist, so the function is twice differentiable everywhere except at zero.

Let A={1, 2, 3, 4), B={2, 3, 4, 5}, then $n{ (A\times B)\cap (B\times A)} =$?

  1. 13

  2. 16

  3. 9

  4. 10
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The sets A and B share three common elements, namely 2, 3, and 4. The intersection of A cross B and B cross A is equivalent to the Cartesian product of the intersection of A and B with itself. Since the intersection has 3 elements, its square has 3 times 3, or 9 elements.

Let $P={ \theta :sin\theta -cos\theta =\sqrt { 2 } cos\theta } $ and $Q={ sin\theta + cos\theta =\sqrt { 2 } sin\theta } $ be two sets. Then:

  1. $P\subset Q\quad and\quad Q-P\neq \emptyset $
  2. $Q\subset P$
  3. $P\subset Q$
  4. $P=Q$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

$P = \left{ {\theta :\sin \theta  - \cos \theta  = \sqrt 2 \cos \theta } \right}$

$Q = \left{ {\theta :\sin \theta  + \cos \theta  = \sqrt 2 \sin \theta } \right}$
From $P$
$\sin \theta  - \cos \theta  = \sqrt 2 \cos \theta $
$\sin \theta  = \left( {\sqrt 2  + 1} \right)\cos \theta $
$\frac{{\sin \theta }}{{\cos \theta }} = \left( {\sqrt 2  + 1} \right)$
$\tan \theta  = \left( {\sqrt 2  + 1} \right)$
from $Q$
$\sin \theta  + \cos \theta  = \sqrt 2 \sin \theta $
$\sin \theta \left( {\sqrt 2  - 1} \right) = \cos \theta $
$\frac{{\sin \theta }}{{\cos \theta }} = \left( {\sqrt 2  - 1} \right)$
$\tan \theta  = \left( {\sqrt 2  - 1} \right)$
$\tan \theta  = \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2  - 1}} \times \frac{{\sqrt 2  + 1}}{{\sqrt 2  + 1}} = \sqrt 2  + 1$
$\therefore P = Q$
Hence,
option $(D)$ is correct answer.

If $A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, B = {2, 4, 6, 8}$ and C= ${3,4,5,6}$, 

then verify : $A - (B \cup C) = (A - B) \cap (A - C)$.

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
Given, $A = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}, B = \{2, 4, 6, 8\}$ and $C=\{3,4,5,6\}$

For the LHS:

Union of two sets will have the elements of both sets.

So, $ B \cup C = \{2,3,4,5,6,8 \}$ 

$ A - (B \cup C) $ will have elements of $A$ which are not in $ (B \cup C) $

So, $ A - (B \cup C) = \{ 1 \}$ ..... $(1)$

For the RHS:

$ A - B $ will have elements of $A$ which are not in $B$.

So, $ A - B = \{ 1,3,5 \}$  

$ A - C $ will have elements of $A$ which are not in $C$.

So, $ A - C = \{ 1,2 \}$  

Intersection of two sets has the common elements of both the sets. 

$\Rightarrow (A - B) \cap (A - C) = \{1\}$ ..... $(2)$

From $(1)$ and $(2),$ we have

$ A - (B \cup C) =(A - B) \cap (A - C) $

Hence, the given expression is true.

In a group of $760$ persons, $510$ can speak Hindi and $360$ can speak English. Find how many can speak Hindi only.

  1. $250$
  2. $400$
  3. $1270$
  4. $150$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
People who can speak both Hindi and English $= n (H ∩ E)$

$n (P) = n(E) + n(H) – n (H ∩ E)$

$n(E\cap H)=510+360-760=110$

We can see that, $H$ is disjoint union of $n(H–E)$ and $n (H ∩ E).$


(If $A$ and $B$ are disjoint then $n (A ∪ B) = n(A) + n(B))$

$∴ H = n(H–E) ∪ n (H ∩ E).$

$⇒ n(H) = n(H–E) + n (H ∩ E).$

$⇒ 510 = n (H – E)+ 110$

$⇒ n(H–E) = 400.$

There are $25$ trays on a table in the cafeteria. Each tray contains a cup only, a plate only, or both a cup and a plate. If $15$ of the trays contain cups and $21$ of the trays contain plates, how many contain both a cup and a plate?

  1. $10$
  2. $11$
  3. $12$
  4. $13$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
Let $'A'$ denote the set with a cup
$'B'$ denote the set with a plate
$'A$ $\cap$ $B'$ denote the set with both a cup and a plate
$'A$ $\cup$ $B'$ denote the set with the trays either a cup or a plate
$n($ $X)$ denote the number of elements in the set $'X'$

Given, total number of trays $n(A$ $\cup$ $B)$ $=$ $25$
Number of trays that contain cups $n($$A)$ $=$ $15$
Number of trays that contain cups $n($$B)$ $=$ $21$

To find the trays with both a cup and a plate $n(A$ $\cap$ $B)$,

We know that
$n(A$ $\cup$ $B)$ $=$ $n($$A)$$+$ $n($$B)$ $-$ $n(A$ $\cap$ $B)$
Rearranging the terms, we get
$n(A$ $\cap$ $B)$ $=$ $n($$A)$$+$ $n($$B)$ $-$ $n(A$ $\cup$ $B)$
From the above,
$n(A$ $\cap$ $B)$ $=$ $15$ $+$ $21$ $-$ $25$
$=$ $11$
$n(A$ $\cap$ $B)$ $=$ $11$

Therefore, number of trays with both a cup and a plate is $'11'$.
