Q13. Show that a, b and c are coplanar if a b , b c and c a are coplanar.


Sol. As a b, b c, c a are coplanar so, [a b b c c a] 0 (i)

Now if a, b and c are coplanar vectors then, [a b c] 0 .





Consider [a b b c c a] (a b) (b c) .(c a) a b a c b b b c .(c a)


b b 0

Q17. The monthly incomes of Aryan and Babban are in the ratio 3 : 4 and their monthly expenditures
are in the ratio 5 : 7. If each saves `15,000 per month, find their monthly incomes using matrix
method. This problem reflects which value?
Sol. Let incomes of Aryan and Babban are 3x and 4x per month respectively. Also let their monthly
expenditures are 5y and 7y per month respectively.
Since the monthly saving for both of them is `15,000 so, by using matrix :
3x 5y 15000
3x 5y 15000

4x 7y 15000

Q21. Using integration, find the area of the region {(x, y) : x 2 y 2 2ax, y 2 ax, x 0, y 0} .
Sol.

Weve

x, y : x

y 2 2ax, y 2 ax, x 0, y 0

Consider x 2 y 2 2ax...(i), y 2 ax...(ii), x 0, y 0

Solving (i) & (ii), we get : x 2 ax 2ax x 2 ax 0 x 0, a
So, points of intersections of (i) & (ii) are (0, 0) & (a, a) .
Also note that (i) can be written as (x a)2 (y 0) 2 a 2 whose centre is at (a, 0) & radius is of

Q25. Let f : N N be a function defined as f (x) 9x 2 6x 5 . Show that f : N S , where S is the

range of f, is invertible. Find the inverse of f and hence find f 1 (43) and f 1 (163) .
Sol. Let y be an arbitrary element of range of function i.e., y S .

Then y = 9x2 + 6x 5, for some x N, which implies that y 3x 1 6 .

This gives x
