Section – A (20 Marks)
(Multiple Choice Questions Each question carries 1 mark)

Question 1.
Let f: R → R be defined by f(x) = x2 + 1. The pre-images of 17 and -3 are respectively. [1]
(a) {-4, 3}, {-3, -4}
(b) {-1, 1}, {-3, 4}
(c) {-4, 4}, {-3, 3}
(d) {-4, 4}, not defined
Solution:
(d) {-4, 4}, not defined
Explanation:
For pre-image of 17:
f(x) = x2 + 1 = 17
⇒ x2 = 17 – 1 = 16
⇒ x = ±√16 = ±4
So, x ∈ {-4, 4}
For pre-image of -3:
f(x) = x2 + 1 = -3
⇒ x2 = -3 – 1 = -4
No real value of x is possible.
So, x ∈ φ

2 & x & 4 \\
-1 & 1 & -2
\end{array}\right|\) = 0, gives
2(-2x – 4) + 1(-4 + 4) + 2(2 + x) = 0
⇒ -4x – 8 + 4 + 2x = 0
⇒ x = -2

Question 33.
Find the intervals in which the function f defined as f(x) = 1 – 12x – 9x2 – 2x3 is strictly increasing or strictly decreasing. [5]
Solution:
f(x) = 1 – 12x – 9x2 – 2x3 gives
f'(x) = -12 – 18x – 6x2
= -6(2 + 3x + x2)
= -6(x + 2)(x + 1)
gives f'(x) = 0 implies -6(x + 2)(x + 1) = 0,
i.e. x = -1 or -2
CBSE Sample Papers for Class 12 Maths Set 9 with Solutions Q33
f'(x) > 0, when -2 < x -1
f'(x) < 0, when x < -2 or x > -1
Thus, f(x) is strictly increasing in (-2, -1); and strictly decreasing in (-∞, -2) ∪ (-1, ∞).

A laboratory blood test is 99% effective in detecting COVID-19 infection when it is in fact, present. However, the test also yields a false positive result for 0.5% of the healthy person tested (i.e., if a healthy person is tested then with a probability of 0.005, the test will imply he has the COVID-19 infection). Let 0.1% of the population actually have the COVID-19 infection
CBSE Sample Papers for Class 12 Maths Set 9 with Solutions Q36
Based on the above information, answer the following questions:
(A) What is the probability that a person, chosen at random and he/she does not has an infection? [1]
(B) What is the probability that a person has the infection and the test result is positive? [1]
(C) What is the probability that a person has the infection given that the test result is positive?
OR
Find the probability that a person, chosen at random, has the infection and also find the probability that a person does not has the infection and the test result is positive. [2]
Solution:
Let A: A person has the disease;
B: A person does not have the disease;
C: The test is positive
P(A) = 0.1% = 0.001;
P(B) = 99.9% = 0.999;
P(C/A) = 99% = 0.99;
P(C/B) = 0.005
(A) Population does not have infection = 1 – Population has an infection
= 1 – 0.001
= 0.999
(B) The probability that a person has the infection and the test result is positive is 99% = 0.99.

Based on the above information, answer the following questions:
(A) What should be the value of the x, so that the volume of the box is maximum? [2]
(B) For what value(s) of λ is the function defined by f(x) = \(\left\{\begin{array}{r}
\lambda\left(x^2-2 x\right), \text { if } x \leq 0 \\
4 x+1, \text { if } x>0
\end{array}\right.\) continuous at x = 0? [2]
Solution:
(A) Length = (45 – 2x) cm
Breadth = (24 – 2x) cm
Height = (x) cm
l = (45 – 2x) cm, b = (24 – 2x) cm, h = x cm
∴ Volume = lbh
= (45 – 2x) (24 – 2x) × x cm3
Here, V = (45 – 2x) (24 – 2x)x
\(\frac{d V}{d x}\) = (45 – 2x) (24 – 2x) + (45 – 2x) × (-2) + (-2) (24 – 2x) (x)
= 2[(45 – 2x) (12 – x) – x(45 – 2x) – x(24 – 2x)]
= 2[540 – 24x – 45x + 2x2 – 45x + 2x2 – 24x + 2x2]
= 2[6x2 – 138x + 540]
= 12 [x2 – 23x + 90]
= 12 (x – 18) (x – 5)
x = 18, x = 5

Hence, it is not continuous at x = 0 for any value of λ.
