Let a = 1 + 2C2/3! + 3C2/4! + 4C2/5! + ... and
b = 1 + (1C0 + 1C1)/1! + (2C0 + 2C1 + 2C2)/2! + (3C0 + 3C1 + 3C2 + 3C3)/3! + ...

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Relations and Functions Question 2 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Exponential Generating Function & Series Coefficients:
- The expression uses combinations nCr and factorials, hinting at exponential and binomial expansion identities.
- Function f(x) = 1 + (1 + x)/1! + (1 + x)2/2! + (1 + x)3/3! + ... is considered to evaluate the coefficient of x2.
- This function can be transformed using the identity: e1+x / (1 + x)
- The coefficient of x2 in this expansion corresponds to the RHS of 'a' series.
- The value of b is derived using the identity: 1 + 2/1! + 22/2! + 23/3! + ... = e2
Calculation:
Let f(x) = 1 + (1 + x)/1! + (1 + x)2/2! + (1 + x)3/3! + ...
⇒ f(x) = e(1+x) / (1 + x)
Expand RHS:
= (1 + x + x2/2! + ...) / (1 + x)
⇒ (1 + x + (1 + x)2/2! + (1 + x)3/3! + (1 + x)4/4! + ...)
So, coefficient of x2 in RHS is:
2C2/3! + 3C2/4! + 4C2/5! + ... = a - 1
coefficient of x2 in RHS:
e × (1 + x+ x2/2!) × (1 -x+ x2/2!)
is e- e+ e/2! =a
Now, expand LHS expression:
e × (1 + x+ x2/2!) × (1 -x+ x2/2!)
⇒ e × (1 - (x4/4!)) = e
So, coefficient of x2 = e × e = e2
Thus, b = 1 + 2/1! + 22/2! + 23/3! + ... = e2
a = e\2!
⇒ 8b / a2 = 2 × e2 / (e/2!)2 = 32
∴ 8b / a2 = 32
Relations and Functions Question 3:
Let f(x) = 3 + 2x and gn(x) = (fo fo f0... n times) (x).
∀n ∈ N if all the lines y = gn(x) pass through a fixed point (α, β), then 2α + 3β =
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Relations and Functions Question 3 Detailed Solution
Concept:
- Let f(x) = 3 + 2x, which is a linear function of the form f(x) = ax + b.
- Let gn(x) be the function obtained by composing f with itself n times: gn(x) = f ∘ f ∘ ... ∘ f (n times)(x).
- If gn(x) passes through a fixed point (α, β) for all n ∈ ℕ, then the point satisfies the equation gn(α) = β for all n.
- This implies that the point (α, β) is a fixed point of all functions gn.
- We find this by solving for the fixed point that satisfies f(α) = α, which guarantees that the point stays fixed under repeated function compositions.
Calculation:
Let f(x) = 3 + 2x
We want a point (α, β) such that gn(α) = β for all n ∈ ℕ
⇒ fn(α) = β for all n
Let’s compute a few values:
g1(x) = f(x) = 3 + 2x
g2(x) = f(f(x)) = f(3 + 2x) = 3 + 2(3 + 2x) = 3 + 6 + 4x = 9 + 4x
g3(x) = f(g2(x)) = f(9 + 4x) = 3 + 2(9 + 4x) = 3 + 18 + 8x = 21 + 8x
So pattern is: gn(x) = An + Bnx
Let’s deduce the recurrence relations:
Initial: A1 = 3, B1 = 2
⇒ An = 3 + 2An-1
⇒ Bn = 2Bn-1
Bn = 2n
Let us find fixed point: f(α) = α
⇒ 3 + 2α = α
⇒ α = -3
Let β = gn(α) = gn(-3)
gn(x) = An + Bnx = An - 3 × Bn
So β = An - 3 × Bn
We want this constant for all n
Let’s check for small values:
g1(x) = 3 + 2x ⇒ g1(-3) = 3 - 6 = -3
g2(x) = 9 + 4x ⇒ g2(-3) = 9 - 12 = -3
g3(x) = 21 + 8x ⇒ g3(-3) = 21 - 24 = -3
So, β = -3 always
∴ 2α + 3β = -3× 2 + (-3)× 3 = -15

Relations and Functions Question 5:
Which of the following is a bijective function?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Relations and Functions Question 5 Detailed Solution
The correct answer is y = x + 10.
- A function is bijective if it is both injective (one-to-one) and surjective (onto).
- Injective: A function is injective if every element of the domain maps to a unique element in the codomain.
- Surjective: A function is surjective if every element in the codomain has a preimage in the domain.
- For y = x + 10, the function is linear and satisfies both injective and surjective properties:
- Injective: Since the slope of the line is non-zero, each x value maps to a unique y value.
- Surjective: Any real number y can be achieved by solving for x (x = y - 10), ensuring that all values in the codomain have a preimage.
- y = cos x: Not bijective because it is periodic and does not cover all real numbers (not surjective).
- y = x²: Not bijective because multiple x values (positive and negative) map to the same y value (not injective).
- y = |x|: Not bijective because multiple x values (positive and negative) map to the same y value (not injective).
- Bijective functions are particularly important in mathematics as they define one-to-one correspondences between sets.

- Inverse Function:
Let f: A → B be one-one and onto (bijective) function. Then f-1 exists which is a function f-1: B → A, which maps each element b ∈ B with an element
a ∈ A such that f(a) = b is called the inverse function of f: A → B.
- Methods to find inverse:
Let f : A → B be a bijective function.
Step – I Put f (x) = y
Step – II Solve the equation y = f (x) to obtain x in terms of y.
Interchange x and y to obtain the inverse of the given function f.
Calculation:
Given: \(f(x) = \frac{1 + 2x}{x + 7}\)
Let y = f(x) = 2x + 1 / x + 7
⇒ xy + 7y = 2x + 1
⇒ 7y – 1 = 2x – xy
⇒ x(2 - y) = 7y – 1
⇒ x = (7y - 1) / (2 - y)
⇒ f-1 (x) = \(\frac{7x - 1}{2 - x}\)

Logarithm properties:
Product rule: The log of a product equals the sum of two logs.
\(\rm {\log _a}\left( {mn} \right) = \;{\log _a}m + \;{\log _a}n\)
Quotient rule: The log of a quotient equals the difference of two logs.
\(\rm {\log _a}\frac{m}{n} = \;{\log _a}m - \;{\log _a}n\)
Power rule: In the log of power the exponent becomes a coefficient.

Given: \(\rm \log_{3}{(x^{4} - x^3)} - \log_{3} (x - 1) = 3\)
\(\rm \Rightarrow \log_{3} \left[{\frac{(x^{4} - x^3)}{(x - 1)}} \right ] = 3\) (∵ \(\rm {\log _a}\frac{m}{n} = \;{\log _a}m - \;{\log _a}n\))
\(\rm \Rightarrow \log_{3} \left[{\frac{x^3(x-1)}{(x - 1)}} \right ] = 3\)
\(\rm \Rightarrow \log_{3} x^3 = 3\)
\(\Rightarrow \rm 3\log_3 x = 3\) (∵ \(\rm {\log _a}{m^n} = n{\log _a}m\))

Find the range of the real function f(x) = \(\rm \frac{x+1}{x-3}\)
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Relations and Functions Question 11 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFConcept:
Range: The range of a function is the set of all possible values it can produce, i.e., all values of y for which x is defined.
Note:
The domain of a function f(x) is the set of all values for which the function is defined, and the range of the function is the set of all values that f takes.
Calculation:
Let, y = f(x) = \(\rm \frac{x+1}{x-3}\)
⇒y(x - 3) = x + 1
⇒yx - 3y - x = 1
⇒ x(y - 1) - 3y = 1
⇒ x(y - 1) = 1 + 3y
⇒\(\rm x = \frac{1+3y}{y-1}\)
It is clear that x is not defined when y - 1 = 0, i.e, when y = 1
∴ Range (f) = R - {1}
Hence, option (2) is correct.
Mistake PointsIt is given in the Question that, f(x) is real function. So,
f(x) has real values for value of x other than x = 3
∴ Domain of given function = R - {3}, where R is set of all real numbers

Relations and Functions Question 12 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFConcept:
Domin of sin-1 x is [-1, 1]
Adding or subtracting the same quantity from both sides of an inequality leaves the inequality symbol unchanged.
Calculation:
Given: f(x) = sin-1 (x + 1)
As we know, domin of sin1 x is [-1, 1]
Therefore, -1 ≤ (x + 1) ≤ 1
subtracting 1 in above inequality,
⇒ -1 - 1 ≤ x + 1 - 1 ≤ 1 - 1
⇒ -2 ≤ x ≤ 0
∴ Domin of sin-1 (x + 1) is [-2, 0]
Mistake Points[-2, 0] is different from [-2, 0). '[' and ']' indicates that the end number (2 and 0) is also included. '(' and ')' indicates that 2 and 0 are not taken into consideration.
If f(x) = ln (x + \(\sqrt{1+\text{x}^2}\)), then which one of the following is correct ?

Relations and Functions Question 13 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFConcept:
- (x + y)(x - y) = x2 - y2
- \(\ln { 1\over a} = \ln 1 - \ln a = 0 - \ln a = -\ln a\)
Calculation:
Given: f(x) = ln (x + \(\sqrt{1+\text{x}^2}\)),__(i)
Replace x by (-x) in (i),
⇒ f(-x) = ln (-x + \(\sqrt{1+(\text{-x})^2}\)),
⇒ f(-x) = ln (-x + \(\sqrt{1+\text{x}^2}\)),
Multiply and divide by (x + \(\sqrt{1+\text{x}^2}\)) inside the ln function,
⇒ f(-x) = \(\ln (-x + \sqrt{1+\text{x}^2}.{ x + \sqrt{1+\text{x}^2}\over x + \sqrt{1+\text{x}^2}})\),
⇒ f(-x) = \(\ln ({- x^2 + {1+\text{x}^2}\over x + \sqrt{1+\text{x}^2}})\),
⇒ f(-x) = \(\ln ({1 \over x + \sqrt{1+\text{x}^2}})\),
⇒ f(-x) = \(-\ln ({ x + \sqrt{1+\text{x}^2}})\),
From (i),
⇒ f(-x) = - f(x)\
⇒ f(-x) + f(x) = 0
∴ The correct answer is option (1).

Relations and Functions Question 14 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFConcept:
Range of a Function:
- The range of a function is the set of all possible output values (f(x)) for the given domain.
- For the function f(x) = x², where x ∈ ℝ, the output is always a non-negative real number.
- This is because the square of any real number is always greater than or equal to zero.
- Minimum value of f(x) occurs at x = 0, which gives f(0) = 0.
- As x increases or decreases, f(x) increases without any upper limit.
Calculation:
Given,
Function: f(x) = x²
Domain: x ∈ ℝ
⇒ f(0) = 0 ∈ range
⇒ For x = ±1, ±2, f(x) = 1, 4, which are > 0
⇒ f(x) ≥ 0 for all real x
⇒ So, the range is [0, ∞)
⇒ f(x) can take any value from 0 to ∞
The range of f(x) is the set of all non-negative real numbers.
Understanding Positive vs Non-negative Real Numbers:
- Positive real numbers are all real numbers greater than zero, i.e., (0, ∞), and do not include 0.
- Non-negative real numbers include all positive real numbers and 0, i.e., [0, ∞).
- The function f(x) = x² is defined for all real numbers, and it gives an output ≥ 0 for any x ∈ ℝ.
- At x = 0, f(x) = 0² = 0, which is part of the range.
- Since 0 is not included in positive real numbers, option 3 is incorrect.
∴ Option 3 is incorrect because it excludes 0, which is part of the range.
Hence Option 1 is the correct answer

1. Domain of a functions:
- The domain of a function is the set of all possible values of the independent variable. That is all the possible inputs for a function.
Calculation:
Observe that the given function is in the form of numerator and denominator. The function will be well defined for all non zero values of the denominator.
Therefore, \({\rm{x}} - 2{\rm{\;}} \ne 0\) that implies that \({\rm{x\;}} \ne 2\).
Similarly square root function is well defined for all non-negative values.
Therefore, \({\rm{x}} - 2 > 0\) that implies \({\rm{x}} > 2.\)
Thus, domain of the given function is \(\left( {2,{\rm{\;}}\infty } \right).\)
