(c) \(\left(\frac{2 \pi}{3}, \pi\right)\)
(d) \(\left(\frac{-\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)\)
Solution:
(a) \(\left(\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)\)
Explanation:
Consider f(x) = tan-1(sin x + cos x)
f'(x) = \(\frac{1}{1+(\sin x+\cos x)^2}\) . (cos x – sin x) ……..(i)
sign of f'(x) depends upon (cos x – sin x)
We know for x ∈ \(\left(\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)\), cos x < sin x
⇒ cos x – sin x < 0
⇒ f'(x) < 0
∴ f is decreasing for x ∈ \(\left(\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)\), [from (i)]

Question 24.
Given, a relation R1, on the set R1 of real numbers, as R1 = J(x, y) : x2 – 3xy + 2y2 = 0, x, y ∈ R}. If the relation R reflexive or symmetric? [2]
Solution:
Reflexive, as relation R1 = {(x, y) ∈ R × R : x2 = 3xy + 2y2 = 0}
(x, x) ∈ R
⇒ x2 – 3x2 + 2x2 = 0, always true, for x ∈ R.
Hence, reflexive.
Let (x, y) ∈ R1
⇒ x2 – 3xy + 2y2 = 0 ……..(i)
Let x = 2, y = 1
⇒ 4 – 6 + 2 = 0 true, (2, 1) ∈ R1
Now, (y, x) ∈ R1
⇒ y2 – 3yx + 2x2 = 0 …….(ii)
y = 1, x = 2
⇒ 1 – 6 + 8 ≠ 0, (1, 2) ∉ R1
(i) & (ii) are not equation i.e. (x, y) ∈ R1
⇒ (y, x) ∉ R1
Hence, it is not symmetric.

Question 26.
Show that the relation S in the set R of real numbers defined as S = {(a, b): a, b ∈ R and a ≤ b3} is neither reflexive nor symmetric and nor transitive.
OR
If f: R → R is the function defined by f(x) = 4x3 + 7, then show that f is a bijection. [3]
Solution:
The given relation is:
S = {(a, b) : a, b ∈ R and a ≤ b3}
Reflexive: As \(\frac{1}{2} \leq\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^3\) where \(\frac{1}{2}\) ∈ R, is not true
∴ \(\left(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2}\right)\) ∉ S
Thus, S is not reflexive.
Symmetric: As (-2) ≤ 33, where -2, 3 ∈ R, is true
but 3 ≤ (-2)3 is not true
i.e. (-2, 3) ∈ S but (3, -2) ∉ S.
Thus, S is not symmetric
Transitive: As 3 ≤ \(\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^3\) and \(\frac{3}{2} \leq\left(\frac{4}{3}\right)^3\), where 3, \(\frac{3}{2}\), \(\frac{4}{3}\) ∈ R are true but 3 ≤ \(\left(\frac{4}{3}\right)^3\) is not true
i.e., (3, \(\frac{3}{2}\)) ∈ S and \(\left(\frac{3}{2}, \frac{4}{3}\right)\) ∈ S but (3, \(\frac{4}{3}\)) ∉ S
Thus, R is not transitive.
Hence, S is neither reflexive nor symmetric nor transitive.
OR
Given, function is f: R → R such that
f(x) = 4x3 + 7
To show: f is bijective, we have to show that f is one-one and onto.
One-one function: Let, x1, x2 ∈ R such that
f(x1) = f(x2)
⇒ \(4 x_1^3+7=4 x_2^3+7\)
⇒ \(4 x_1^3=4 x_2^3\)
⇒ \(x_1^3-x_2^3=0\)
⇒ \(\left(x_1-x_2\right)\left(x_1^2+x_1 x_2+x_2^2\right)=0\)
CBSE Sample Papers for Class 12 Maths Set 8 with Solutions Q26
But eq. (ii) gives complex roots as x1, x2 ∈ R
∴ x1 – x2 = 0
⇒ x1 = x2
Thus, f(x1) = f(x2)
⇒ x1 = x2 ∀ x1, x2 ∈ R
Therefore, f(x) is one-one function.
Onto function: Let y ∈ R (co-domain) by any arbitrary number.
Then, f(x) = y
⇒ 4x3 + 7 = y
⇒ 4x3 = y – 7
⇒ x = \(\left(\frac{y-7}{4}\right)^{1 / 3}\)
which is a real number. [∵ y ∈ R]
Thus, for every y ∈ R (co-domain) there exist
x = \(\left(\frac{y-7}{4}\right)^{1 / 3}\) ∈ R (domain) such that
f(x) = \(f\left[\left(\frac{y-7}{4}\right)^{1 / 3}\right]=4\left[\left(\frac{y-7}{4}\right)^{1 / 3}\right]^3+7\)
= \(4\left(\frac{y-7}{4}\right)+7\)
= y – 7 + 7
= y
⇒ f(x) is an onto function.
Since f(x) is both one-one and onto so it is bijective.

If we multiply the third number by 3 and add the second number to it, we get 11. By adding the first and third numbers we get double the second number. Represent it algebraically and find the numbers using the matrix method. [3]
Solution:
We have, A = \(\left[\begin{array}{lll}
0 & 1 & 1 \\
1 & 0 & 1 \\

1 & 0 & 1 \\
1 & 1 & 0
\end{array}\right]\)
= 0 – 1(0 – 1) + 1(1 – 0)
= 2 ≠ 0
∴ A-1 exists

Solution:
Let V be the volume of the cone and ‘h’ be the height and r be the radius of the base of the cone.
Now, \(\frac{d V}{d t}\) = 12 cm3/sec …….(i)
Height of cone = \(\frac{1}{6}\) × radius of cone
h = \(\frac{1}{6}\) × r
r = 6h …….(ii)

CBSE Sample Papers for Class 12 Maths Set 8 with Solutions Q29
CBSE Sample Papers for Class 12 Maths Set 8 with Solutions Q29.1
OR
Let the coordinates of point P be (x1, y1, z1)
Given, OP = 3
\(\sqrt{\left(x_1-0\right)^2+\left(y_1-0\right)^2+\left(z_1-0\right)^2}=9\)
\(x_1^2+y_1^2+z_1^2=9\) ……(i)
The direction ratio of OP are -1, 2, -2
Therefore,
x1 – 0 = -1 ⇒ x1 = -1
y1 – 0 = 2 ⇒ y1 = 2
z1 – 0 = -2 ⇒ z1 = -2
Putting the values of x1, y1, z1 in (1) we get,
(-1)2 + (2)2 + (-2)2 = 9
9 = 9
x1, y1, z1 satisfies (1)
Hence, the coordinates of point P are (-1, 2, -2)

Question 34.
The sum of surface areas of a sphere and a cuboid with sides \(\frac{x}{3}\), x, and 2x is constant. show that the sum of their volumes is minimum if x is equal to three times the radius of the sphere.
OR
An advertisement firm is supplied with decorative wire pieces of 34 m each and is asked to cut the wire into two pieces, from one piece a circular sign board is to be made and from another a square one and the idea is to keep the sum of the areas enclosed by a circle and square to be minimum for writing slogans. It wire is cut at ‘x’ m from one end and made into a circle and r represents the radius of the circle. What is the minimum combined area of the window? [5]
Solution:
Surface area of cuboid = 2(lb + bh + hl)
= \(2\left(2 x^2+\frac{2 x^2}{3}+\frac{x^2}{3}\right)\)
= \(2\left(\frac{9 x^2}{3}\right)\)
= 6x2
Let the radius of the sphere be r.
The surface area of the sphere = 4πr2
∴ 6x2 + 4πr2 = k (constant) …….(i)
Now, the sum of volumes of cuboid and sphere is:
V = \(\frac{2}{3} x^3+\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3\) ……(ii)
Putting the value of r from (i) into (ii), we get
V = \(\frac{2}{3} x^3+\frac{4}{3} \pi\left(\frac{k-6 x^2}{4 \pi}\right)^{3 / 2}\) ……(iii)
Differentiating (iii) w.r.t x, we get
\(\frac{d V}{d x}=2 x^2+\frac{9}{3} \pi\left(\frac{1}{4 \pi}\right)^{3 / 2} \times \frac{3}{2}\left(k-6 x^2\right)^{1 / 2}(-12 x)\) ……(iv)
For minimum or maximum value, \(\frac{d V}{d x}\) = 0

CBSE Sample Papers for Class 12 Maths Set 8 with Solutions Q36.1
For previous testing procedures, the following probabilities are assumed to be known.
P(A fails) = 0.2, P(B fails alone) = 0.15, P(A and B fail) = 0.15
Based on the above information answer the following questions:
(A) What is the probability that B fails? [1]
(B) What is the probability that A fails alone? [1]
(C) Find the probability that the whole of the electric system fails?
OR
Find the conditional probability that B fails when A has already failed. [2]
Solution:
(A) Consider the following events
E = A fails, F = B fails
Given P(E) = 0.2, P (\(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}\) ∩ F) = 0.15, F(E ∩ F) = 0.15
Since, P(\(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}\) ∩ F) = 0.15
⇒ P(F) – P(E ∩ F) = 0.15
⇒ P(F) = 0.15 + P(E ∩ F)
⇒ P(F) = 0.15 + 0.15
⇒ P(F) = 0.30
(B) P(E ∩ \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}\)) = P(E) – P(E ∩ F)
= 0.2 – 0.15
= 0.05
(C) If the electric system fails, we mean that A is also failed and B is also failed.
i.e., we have to find P(E ∪ F), where E is an event when A fails and B is an event when B fails.
∴ P(E ∪ F) = P(E) + P(F) – P(E ∩ F)
= 0.2 + 0.3 – 0.15
= 0.5 – 0.15
= 0.35
OR
Let E = A fail, F = B fail
∴ P(E) = 0.2, P(E ∩ F) = 0.15, P(\(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}\) ∩ F) = 0.15
