Q 11 :

Let A = {1, 3, 7, 9, 11} and B = {2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12}. Then the total number of one-one maps f:A→B, such that f(1)+f(3)=14, is:           [2024]

  • 180

     

  • 480

     

  • 120

     

  • 240

     

(4)

   A = {1, 3, 7, 9, 11}, B = {2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12}

   f:A→B is one-one such that

   f(1)+f(3)=14

   (f(1),f(3))={(2,12),(4,10),(12,2),(10,4)}

   Since f is one-one so f(1)≠f(3) so we cannot take (7, 7).

   ∴  So, for f(1) we have 4 choices and for f(3) we have 4 choices and remaining 3 elements have 5! choices for mapping to be one-one.

   Total number of ways = 4×5!/2

   =4802=240                                  [∵ Pair (2, 12) and (12, 2) will be considered same]

 



Q 12 :

The function f(x)=x2+2x-15x2-4x+9,x∈R is                [2024]

  • both one-one and onto.

     

  • neither one-one nor onto.

     

  • onto but not one-one.

     

  • one-one but not onto.

     

(2)

  We have,f(x)=x2+2x-15x2-4x+9

  f(x)=(x+5)(x-3)x2-4x+9

  f(x) has two roots as x=-5,3

  So f(-5)=0 and f(3)=0

  So f cannot be one-one.

  Now consider, x2-4x+9

  D=16-36=-20<0

  Now, let y=x2+2x-15x2-4x+9

  ⇒yx2-4xy+9y=x2+2x-15

  ⇒x2(y-1)-2x(2y+1)+(9y+15)=0

       D=4(2y+1)2-4(y-1)(9y+15)≥0          [∵x∈R]

 ⇒4(4y2+1+4y)-(36y2-36y+60y-60)≥0

 ⇒16y2+4+16y-36y2-24y+60≥0

 ⇒-20y2-8y+64≥0

 ⇒5y2+2y-16≤0

 ⇒(5y-8)(y+2)≤0

 ⇒y∈[-2,85] which is the range of function f

 So, f is not onto if f:R→R.

 Here in given question co-domain is not defined.



Q 13 :

Let f(x)=17-sin5x be a function defined on R. Then the range of the function f(x) is equal to :                [2024]

  • [17,15]

     

  • [17,16]

     

  • [18,16]

     

  • [18,15]

     

(3)

   Since, -1≤sinθ≤1 ∀θ, so we have

   -1≤sin 5x≤1

   ⇒-1≤-sin5x≤1

   ⇒-1+7≤7-sin5x≤1+7

   ⇒18≤17-sin5x≤16

   ⇒Range f(x)=[18,16]



Q 14 :

Let [t] be the greatest integer less than or equal to t. Let A be the set of all prime factors of 2310 and f:A→Z be the function f(x)=[log2(x2+[x35])].The number of one-to-one functions from A to the range of f is                    [2024]

  • 25

     

  • 24

     

  • 20

     

  • 120

     

(4)

   2310=2×3×5×7×11

   ∴ A={2, 3, 5, 7, 11} 

   f:A→Z is a function such that

   f(x)=[log2(x2+[x35])]

   f(2)=[log2(4+[1.6])]=[log2(4+1)]=[log25]=[log2(22+1)]=2

  f(3)=[log2(9+5)]=[log2(23+6)]=3

  f(5)=[log2(25+25)]=[log2(25+18)]=5

  f(7)=[log2(49+68)]=[log2(26+53)]=6

  f(11)=[log2(121+266)]=[log2(28+131)]=8

  Range of f={2,3,5,6,8}

  Number of one-one functions=5!=120



Q 15 :

Let f(x)={-a if -a≤x≤0x+a if 0<x≤a where a>0 and g(x)=(f(|x|)-|f(x)|)2. Then the function g: [-a,a]→[-a,a] is           [2024]

  • onto.

     

  • both one-one and onto.

     

  • one-one.

     

  • neither one-one nor onto.

     

(4)

   y=f(x)={-a,-a≤x≤0x+a,0<x≤a

   y=f|x|={-a,-a≤|x|≤0|x|+a,0<|x|≤a

   but |x|<0 is not possible.

   f|x|={-x+a,-a≤x<0x+a,0<x≤a

   y=|f(x)|={a,-a≤x≤0x+a,0<x≤a

   g(x)=f|x|-|f(x)|2={-x+a-a2=-x2 if -a≤x≤0x+a-x-a2=0 if 0<x≤a

   g:[-a,a]→[-a,a] is neither one-one nor onto as set [0,a] has only one image i.e. 0.

 



Q 16 :

If the domain of the function f(x)=x2-25(4-x2)+log10(x2+2x-15) is (-∞,α)∪[β,∞), then α2+β3 is equal to:            [2024]

  • 140

     

  • 175

     

  • 125

     

  • 150

     

(4)

   For domain, 4-x2≠0⇒x≠±2

   x2-25≥0; x2≥25⇒x∈(-∞,-5]∪[5,∞)

   Also, x2+2x-15>0⇒(x+5)(x-3)>0

   ⇒x∈(-∞,-5)∪(3,∞) ∴Df=(-∞,-5)∪[5,∞)

   So, α=-5 and β=5 ∴α2+β3=25+125=150



Q 17 :

Let f(x)={x-1,x is even,2x,x is odd,x∈N. If for some a∈N,f(f(f(a)))=21, then limx→a-{|x|3a-[xa]}, where [t] denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to t, is equal to:                    [2024]

  • 169

     

  • 121

     

  • 225

     

  • 144

     

(4)

   There are two cases arise:

   Case I : Let a is even ∴ f(a)=a-1 (odd)

   ⇒f(f(a))=f(a-1)=2a-2 (even)

   ⇒f(f(f(a)))=f(2a-2)=2a-2-1=2a-3

   ⇒21=2a-3⇒a=12

   So, limx→a-{|x|3a-[xa]}=limx→12-{|x3|12-[x12]}

   =144                                                 (∵x<12)

   Case II : Let a is odd

   ∴ f(a)=2a (even)⇒f(f(a))=f(2a)=2a-1 (odd)

   ⇒f(f(f(a)))=f(2a-1)=2(2a-1)

   ⇒21=4a-2⇒a=234∉N

 



Q 18 :

The function f:N-{1}→N; defined by f(n) = the highest prime factor of n, is:                   [2024]

  • one-one only

     

  • both one-one and onto

     

  • neither one-one nor onto

     

  • onto only

     

(3)

   Given, f:N-{1}→N

   f(n)=the highest prime factor of n

   For one-one: If n=4,f(n)=2.

   If n=8,f(n)=2  ∴f is not one-one.

   For onto : Range = All prime numbers

   Co-domain = Set of natural numbers

  ⇒ Range ≠ Co-domain  ∴f is not onto.



Q 19 :

Let f:R-{-12}→R and g:R-{-52}→R be defined as f(x)=2x+32x+1 and g(x)=|x|+12x+5. Then, the domain of the function fog is                                                                                                         [2024]

  • R-{-52,-74}

     

  • R-{-74}

     

  • R

     

  • R-{-52}

     

(4)

 



Q 20 :

If f(x)={2+2x,-1≤x<01-x3,0≤x≤3;g(x)={-x,-3≤x≤0x,0<x≤1, then range of (fog)(x) is                 [2024]

  • [0, 1)

     

  • [0, 3)

     

  • (0, 1]

     

  • [0, 1]

     

(4)

Given, 

   f(x)={2+2x,-1≤x<01-x3,0≤x≤3 and g(x)={-x,-3≤x≤0x,0<x≤1

   fog(-3)=f(3)=0 ; fog(-2)=f(2)=13 ; fog(-1)=f(1)=23

   fog(0)=f(0)=1 ; fog(1)=f(1)=23

   ∴   Range of fog(x)=[0,1]

 



Q 21 :

If f(x)=4x+36x-4, x≠23 and (fof)(x)=g(x), where g:R-{23}→R-{23}, then (gogog)(4) is equal to                [2024]

  • 1920

     

  • -1920

     

  • -4

     

  • 4

     

(4)

    Here, f(x)=4x+36x-4

    f[f(x)]=4f(x)+36f(x)-4=4(4x+36x-4)+36(4x+36x-4)-4

                =16x+12+18x-126x-4=34x34=x

    ∴  f[f(x)]=x⇒g(x)=x

    Now, (gogog)(4)=gog[g(4)]=gog(4)=g(4)=4

 



Q 22 :

Consider the function f:R→R defined by f(x)=2x1+9x2. If the composition of f,(fofofo...of)⏟10 times (x) =210x1+9αx2, then the value of 3α+1 is equal to _________ .                                                   [2024]



(1024)

    We have, f(x)=2x1+9x2

    ∴  (fof)(x)=2f(x)1+9(f(x))2=4x1+9x21+9×4x21+9x2=4x1+45x2=22x1+5×9x2

     (fofof)(x)=4×2x1+9x21+45×4x21+9x2=23x1+21×9x2

    (fofofof)(x)=24x1×85×9x2

    ∴    (fofofo.....of)⏟ n times(x) =2nx1+9(4n-13)x2

    ∴    (fofofo.....of)⏟ 10 times(x) =210x1+9(410-13)x2=210x1+9αx2

                                                                                                    (∵ Given)

    On comparing, we get

    α=410-13⇒3α+1=410

   ⇒3α+1=410=45=1024.



Q 23 :

If a function f satisfies f(m+n)=f(m)+f(n) for all m, n∈N and f(1)=1, then the largest natural number λ such that ∑k=12022f(λ+k)≤(2022)2 is equal to ___________ .                  [2024]



(1010)

   We have, f(m+n)=f(m)+f(n)

   So, f(x)=kx

   ∵   f(1)=1⇒k=1

   Hence, f(x)=x

   Now, ∑k=12022f(λ+k)=∑k=12022(λ+k)

            =λ+λ+...+λ⏟2022+(1+2+....+2022)

    =2022λ+2022×20232≤(2022)2 (Given)

   ⇒λ≤20212

   So, largest λ=1010 



Q 24 :

Let A={(x,y):2x+3y=23,x,y∈N} and B={x:(x,y)∈A}. Then the number of one-one functions from A to B is equal to ________ .        [2024]



(24)

    We have, A={(x,y):2x+3y=23,x,y∈N}

   B={x:(x,y)∈A}

  ∴A={(1,7),(4,5),(7,3),(10,1)}

   and B={1,4,7,10}

   Total number of one-one functions from A to B = 4! = 24



Q 25 :

Let A = {1, 2, 3, ..., 7} and let P(A) denote the power set of A. If the number of functions f:A→P(A) such that a∈f(a), ∀ a∈A is mn, m and n∈N and m is least, then m+n is equal to _____.                [2024]



(44)

Given, f:A→P(A)⇒a∈f(a)

It means 'a' will connect with subset which contain element a.

Total options for 1 will be 26(∵ 26 subsets contains 1)

Similarly, for every other element

Now, number of functions from A to P(A) = (26)7=242

i.e., m+n=2+42=44



Q 26 :

Let f,g:R→R be defined as:                                                                [2024]

f(x)=|x-1| and g(x)={ex,x≥0x+1,x≤0.

Then the function f(g(x)) is

  • onto but not one-one.

     

  • neither one-one nor onto.

     

  • both one-one and onto.

     

  • one-one but not onto.

     

(2)

f(g(x))=|g(x)-1|

={|ex-1|,x≥0|x+1-1|,x≤0

={ex-1,x≥0-x,x≤0

f(g(x)) is neither one-one nor onto as negative numbers have no pre-image.



Q 27 :

Let f:R→R and g:R→R be defined as:

f(x)={logex,x>0e-x,x≤0 and g(x)={x,x≥0ex,x<0.

Then, gof:R→R is                                                                            [2024]

  • neither one-one nor onto

     

  • onto but not one-one

     

  • one-one but not onto

     

  • both one-one and onto

     

(1)

 g(f(x)) ={f(x),f(x)≥0ef(x),f(x) < 0

={logex,x≥1e-x,x≤0elogex=x, 0<x<1 

gof(x)={e-x ,x≤0x ,0<x<1logex,x≥1

Now, range of gof=[0,∞)≠R

Hence, not one-one and not onto.



Q 28 :

If the function f:(-∞,-1]→(a,b] defined by f(x)=ex3-3x+1 is one-one and onto, then the distance of the point P(2b+4, a+2) from the line x+e-3y=4 is :        [2024]

  • 21+e6

     

  • 41+e6

     

  • 31+e6

     

  • 1+e6

     

(1)

Given f(x)=ex3-3x+1

∴  f'(x)=ex3-3x+1[3(x-1)(x+1)]≥0

As, ex3-3x+1 is always positive.

∴  3(x-1)(x+1)≥0

⇒x∈(-∞,-1]∪[1,∞)

For onto function, Range = Co-domain

∴  a=f(-∞)=e-∞=0

and b=f(-1)=e-1+3+1=e3

∴  P(2b+4,a+2)=P(2e3+4,2)

Now, distance of the point P(2e3+4,2) from the line x+e-3y-4=0

=2e3+4+2e-3-41+e-6=2(e3+e-3)1+e-6=2(e6+1e3)×11+e6×e3

=21+e6

 



Q 29 :

If the domain of the function

f(x)=110+3x–x2+1x+|x| is (a, b), then

(1+a)2+b2 is equal to:          [2025]

  • 29

     

  • 26

     

  • 30

     

  • 25

     

(2)

We have, f(x)=110+3x–x2+1x+|x|

For f(x) to be defined, we must have 10+3x–x2>0

⇒ x2–3x–10<0 ⇒ (x–5)(x+2)<0 ⇒ –2<x<5

Also, x + |x| > 0

Now, if x > 0, then x + |x| > 0

If x < 0, then |x| = –x ⇒ x + |x| = x – x = 0

∴   The domain of 1x+|x| is x > 0

∴   Domain of f(x) is 0 < x < 5 i.e., (0, 5)

∴  a = 0 and b = 5

⇒ (1+a)2+b2=12+52=26.



Q 30 :

If the domain of the function

f(x)=loge(2x–35+4x)+sin–1(4+3x2–x) is [α,β), then α2+4β

is equal to           [2025]

  • 7

     

  • 5

     

  • 3

     

  • 4

     

(4)

We have, f(x)=loge(2x–35+4x)+sin–1(4+3x2–x)

For f(x) to be defined we have,

2x–35+4x>0 and |4+3x2–x|≤1

Now, 2x–35+4x>0

Case I : 2x – 3 > 0 and 5 + 4x > 0

⇒ x > 3/2 and x > – 5/4

⇒ x∈(3/2,∞)          ... (i)

Case II : 2x – 3 < 0 and 5 + 4x < 0

⇒ x < 3/2 and x < – 5/4

⇒ x∈(–∞,–5/4)          ... (ii)

From (i) and (ii), we get

x∈(–∞,–54)∪(32,∞)          ... (iii)

Also, |4+3x2–x|≤1

⇒ –1≤4+3x2–x≤1 ⇒ –1≤4+3x2–x and 4+3x2–x≤1

⇒ 0≤4+3x2–x+1 and 4+3x2–x–1≤0

⇒ 0≤6+2x2–x and 2+4x2–x≤0

⇒ –3≤x and x≤–12, x≠2

⇒ x∈[–3,–12]          ... (iv)

From (iii) and (iv), we get

x∈[–3,–54)

∴   α=–3 and β=–54

Thus, α2+4β=9–5=4..



Q 31 :

If the domain of the function f(x)=log7(1–log4(x2–9x+18)) is (α,β)∪(γ,δ), then α+β+γ+δ is equal to          [2025]

  • 18

     

  • 15

     

  • 16

     

  • 17

     

(1)

For f(x) to be defined we have,

1–log4(x2–9x+18)>0 i.e., x2–9x+18<4

Also, x2–9x+18>0

⇒ (x–3)(x–6)>0

⇒ x∈(–∞,3)∪(6,∞)          ... (i)

Now, x2–9x+18<4

⇒ x2–9x+14<0

⇒ (x–2)(x–7)<0

⇒ x∈(2,7)          ... (ii)

From equation (i) & (ii), we get

x∈(2,3)∪(6,7)=(α,β)∪(γ,δ)          [Given]

Hence, α+β+γ+δ=2+3+6+7=18.



Q 32 :

Let f be a function such that f(x)+3f(24x)=4x, x≠0. Then f(3) + f(8) is equal to          [2025]

  • 13

     

  • 12

     

  • 10

     

  • 11

     

(4)

We have, f(x)+3f(24x)=4x

Put x = 3, f(3) + 3f(8) = 12          ... (i)

Put x = 8, f(8) + 3f(3) = 32          ... (ii)

Adding (i) and (ii), we get f(3) + f(8) = 11.



Q 33 :

Let f,g : (1,∞)→R be defined as f(x)=2x+35x+2 and g(x)=2–3x1–x. If the range of the function fog : [2,4]→R is [α,β] then 1β–α is equal to          [2025]

  • 56

     

  • 68

     

  • 29

     

  • 2

     

(1)

Given f,g : (1,∞)→R, f(x)=2x+35x+2, g(x)=2–3x1–x

also, we have fog : [2,4]→R

Now, g(2)=2–61–2=4, g(4)=2–121–4=103

∴  f(g(2))=8+320+2=12, f(g(4))=20+950+6=2956

i.e., α=12 and β=2956

Then, 1β–α=12956–12=1156=56.



Q 34 :

Consider the sets A={(x,y)∈R×R : x2+y2=25}, B={(x,y)∈R×R : x2+9y2=144}, C={(x,y)∈Z×Z : x2+y2≤4} and D=A∩B. The total number of one-one functions from the set D to the set C is:          [2025]

  • 18290

     

  • 15120

     

  • 17160

     

  • 19320

     

(3)

We Have, A : x2+y2=25           ... (i)

B : x2144+y216=1          ... (ii)

C : x2+y2≤4          ... (iii)

Solving (i) and (ii), we get

x2+9(25–x2)=144 ⇒ –8x2=–81 ⇒ x=±922

From (i), 818+y2=25 ⇒ y2=25 –818 ⇒ y=±11922

As, D=A∩B

={(922,11922),(922,–11922),(–922,11922),(–922,–11922)}

⇒ n(D)=4

Also, C={(x,y)∈Z×Z : x2+y2≤4}

={(0, 2), (0, –2), (2, 0), (–2, 0), (1, 1), (–1, –1), (–1, 1), (1, –1), (0, 1), (0, –1), (1, 0), (–1, 0), (0, 0)}.

⇒n(C)=13

∴   Total number of one-one function from D to C = 13P4 = 17160.



Q 35 :

If the range of the function f(x)=5–xx2–3x+2, x≠1,2, is (–∞,α]∪[β,∞), then α2+β2 is equal to :          [2025]

  • 190

     

  • 194

     

  • 188

     

  • 192

     

(2)

y=5–xx2–3x+2, x≠1,2

⇒ yx2–3xy+2y+x–5=0

⇒ yx2+(–3y+1)x+(2y–5)=0

Case I : If y = 0

⇒ x = 5

Case II : if y ≠ 0

For real solutions, D≥0

⇒ (–3y+1)2–4(y)(2y–5)≥0

⇒ 9y2+1–6y–8y2+20y≥0

⇒ y2+14y+1≥0

⇒ (y+7)2–48≥0

⇒ |y+7|≥43 ⇒ y+7≥43 or y+7≤–43

⇒ y≥43–7 or y≤–43–7

From Case I and Case II, we have

    y∈(–∞,–43–7]∪[43–7,∞)

∴  α=–43–7 and β=43–7

⇒ α2+β2=(–43–7)2+(43–7)2=2(48+49)=194.



Q 36 :

Let A = {1, 2, 3, 4} and B = {1, 4, 9, 16}. Then the number of many-one functions f : A → B such that I∈f(A) is equal to :          [2025]

  • 163

     

  • 139

     

  • 151

     

  • 127

     

(3)

Here, n(A) = 4, n(B) = 4

Total number of functions from A to B = 44 = 256

Number of one-one functions from A to B = P44 = 4! = 24

Number of many-one functions from A to B = 256 – 24 = 232

Number of many-one function for which 1∉f(A)=34 = 81

∴   Required number of many-one functions = 232 – 81 = 151.



Q 37 :

Let f(x) = logex and g(x)=x4–2x3+3x2–2x+22x2–2x+1. Then the domain of fog is          [2025]

  • (0,∞)

     

  • [0,∞)

     

  • [1,∞)

     

  • R

     

(4)

Given, g(x)=x4–2x3+3x2–2x+22x2–2x+1

Here, Dg∈R          [∵  2x2–2x+1>0]

Also, f(x)=logex ⇒ Df∈(0,∞)           ∴  Dfog⇒ g(x)>0

⇒ x4–2x3+3x2–2x+22x2–2x+1>0 ⇒ x4–2x3+3x2–2x+2>0

The above expression is always positive for any value of x.

∴   Domain of fog ∈ R.



Q 38 :

Let f(x)=2x+2+1622x+1+2x+4+32. Then the value of 8(f(115)+f(215)+...+f(5915)) is equal to          [2025]

  • 118

     

  • 102

     

  • 92

     

  • 108

     

(1)

f(x)=2x+2+1622x+1+2x+4+32

       =22(2x+4)2[(2x)2+8×2x+16]=2(2x+4)(2x+4)2=22x+4

⇒ f(4–x)=224–x+4=2x2(2x+4)

     f(x)+f(4–x)=22x+4+2x2(2x+4)=12

∴   f(115)+f(5915)=f(215)+f(5815)

     =f(315)+f(5715)=...=f(2915)+f(3115)=12

        f(3015)=f(2)=24+4=14

       8[f(115)+f(215)+...+f(5915)]

      =8[12+12+... upto (29 terms)+14]=8(292+14)=118



Q 39 :

The function f : (–∞,∞)→(–∞,1), defined by f(x)=2x–2–x2x+2–x is :          [2025]

  • Onto but not one-one

     

  • Both one-one and onto

     

  • One-one but not onto

     

  • Neither one-one nor onto

     

(3)

Given function is f(x)=2x–2–x2x+2–x

f(x)=2x–12x2x+12x=22x–122x+1=1–222x+1

⇒ f'(x)=2(22x+1)2×2×22x×loge(2)>0

⇒ f(x) is always increasing.

Hence it is one-one.

Since f(–∞)=–1 and f(∞)=1 ⇒ f(x)∈(–1,1)≠(–∞,1)

Thus, the function f(x) is one-one but not onto.

 



Q 40 :

Let f : R→R be a function defined by f(x)=(2+3a)x2+(a+2a–1)x+b, a≠1. If f(x+y)=f(x)+f(y)+1–27xy, then the value of 28∑i=15|f(i)| is         [2025]

  • 675

     

  • 545

     

  • 735

     

  • 715

     

(1)

Given, f(x)=(2+3a)x2+(a+2a–1)x+b, a≠1          ... (i)

Also, f(x+y)=f(x)+f(y)+1–27xy          ... (ii)

Put x = y = 0 in (ii), we get

f(0) = f(0) + f(0) + 1 – 0 ⇒ f(0) = –1          ... (iii)

Using (i), f(0) = b = –1

Put y = – x in (ii), we get

f(x–x)=f(x)+f(–x)+1+27x2

⇒ –1=(2+3a)x2+(a+2a–1)x–1+(2+3a)x2–(a+2a–1)x–1+1+27x2

⇒ (2(2+3a)+27)x2=0 ⇒ a=–57

∴  f(x)=–17x2–34x–1=–128(4x2+21x+28)

Now, 28∑i=15|f(i)|=28[|f(1)|+|f(2)|+...+|f(5)|]

        =28×128[4(12+22+...+52)+21(1+2+...+5)+28(5)]

         = 675
