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:AB, 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:AB 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,xR 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          [xR]

 4(4y2+1+4y)-(36y2-36y+60y-60)0

 16y2+4+16y-36y2-24y+600

 -20y2-8y+640

 5y2+2y-160

 (5y-8)(y+2)0

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

 So, f is not onto if f:RR.

 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, -1sinθ1 θ, so we have

   -1sin 5x1

   -1-sin5x1

   -1+77-sin5x1+7

   1817-sin5x16

   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:AZ 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:AZ 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 -ax0x+a if 0<xa 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,-ax0x+a,0<xa

   y=f|x|={-a,-a|x|0|x|+a,0<|x|a

   but |x|<0 is not possible.

   f|x|={-x+a,-ax<0x+a,0<xa

   y=|f(x)|={a,-ax0x+a,0<xa

   g(x)=f|x|-|f(x)|2={-x+a-a2=-x2 if -ax0x+a-x-a2=0 if 0<xa

   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-x20x±2

   x2-250; x225x(-,-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,xN. If for some aN,f(f(f(a)))=21, then limxa-{|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-3a=12

   So, limxa-{|x|3a-[xa]}=limx12-{|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-2a=234N

 



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,-1x<01-x3,0x3;g(x)={-x,-3x0x,0<x1, then range of (fog)(x) is                 [2024]

  • [0, 1)

     

  • [0, 3)

     

  • (0, 1]

     

  • [0, 1]

     

(4)

Given, 

   f(x)={2+2x,-1x<01-x3,0x3 and g(x)={-x,-3x0x,0<x1

   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, x23 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)]=xg(x)=x

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

 



Q 22 :

Consider the function f:RR 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=410-133α+1=410

   3α+1=410=45=1024.



Q 23 :

If a function f satisfies f(m+n)=f(m)+f(n) for all m, nN 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)=1k=1

   Hence, f(x)=x

   Now, k=12022f(λ+k)=k=12022(λ+k)

            =λ+λ+...+λ2022+(1+2+....+2022)

    =2022λ+2022×20232(2022)2 (Given)

   λ20212

   So, largest λ=1010 



Q 24 :

Let A={(x,y):2x+3y=23,x,yN} 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,yN}

   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:AP(A) such that af(a),  aA is mn, m and nN and m is least, then m+n is equal to _____.                [2024]



(44)

Given, f:AP(A)af(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:RR be defined as:                                                                [2024]

f(x)=|x-1| and g(x)={ex,x0x+1,x0.

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|,x0|x+1-1|,x0

={ex-1,x0-x,x0

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



Q 27 :

Let f:RR and g:RR be defined as:

f(x)={logex,x>0e-x,x0 and g(x)={x,x0ex,x<0.

Then, gof:RR 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,x1e-x,x0elogex=x, 0<x<1 

gof(x)={e-x ,x0x ,0<x<1logex,x1

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+3xx2+1x+|x| is (a, b), then

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

  • 29

     

  • 26

     

  • 30

     

  • 25

     

(2)

We have, f(x)=110+3xx2+1x+|x|

For f(x) to be defined, we must have 10+3xx2>0

 x23x10<0  (x5)(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| = xx = 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(2x35+4x)+sin1(4+3x2x) is [α,β), then α2+4β

is equal to           [2025]

  • 7

     

  • 5

     

  • 3

     

  • 4

     

(4)

We have, f(x)=loge(2x35+4x)+sin1(4+3x2x)

For f(x) to be defined we have,

2x35+4x>0 and |4+3x2x|1

Now, 2x35+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+3x2x|1

 14+3x2x1  14+3x2x and 4+3x2x1

 04+3x2x+1 and 4+3x2x10

 06+2x2x and 2+4x2x0

 3x and x12, x2

 x[3,12]          ... (iv)

From (iii) and (iv), we get

x[3,54)

   α=3 and β=54

Thus, α2+4β=95=4..



Q 31 :

If the domain of the function f(x)=log7(1log4(x29x+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,

1log4(x29x+18)>0 i.e., x29x+18<4

Also, x29x+18>0

 (x3)(x6)>0

 x(,3)(6,)          ... (i)

Now, x29x+18<4

 x29x+14<0

 (x2)(x7)<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, x0. 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)=23x1x. If the range of the function fog : [2,4]R is [α,β] then 1βα is equal to          [2025]

  • 56

     

  • 68

     

  • 29

     

  • 2

     

(1)

Given f,g : (1,)Rf(x)=2x+35x+2g(x)=23x1x

also, we have fog : [2,4]R

Now, g(2)=2612=4, g(4)=21214=103

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

i.e.α=12 and β=2956

Then, 1βα=1295612=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+y24} and D=AB. 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+y24          ... (iii)

Solving (i) and (ii), we get

x2+9(25x2)=144  8x2=81  x=±922

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

As, D=AB

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

 n(D)=4

Also, C={(x,y)Z×Z : x2+y24}

={(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.

  • 190

     

  • 194

     

  • 188

     

  • 192

     

(2)

y=5xx23x+2, x1,2

 yx23xy+2y+x5=0

 yx2+(3y+1)x+(2y5)=0

Case I : If y = 0

 x = 5

Case II : if y 0

For real solutions, D0

 y2+14y+10

 (y+7)2480

 |y+7|43  y+743 or y+743

 y437 or y437

From Case I and Case II, we have

    y(,437][437,)

  α=437 and β=437

 α2+β2=(437)2+(437)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 If(A) is equal to :          [2025]

  • 163

     

  • 139

     

  • 151

     

  • 127

     

(3)

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

Total number of functions from A to B44 = 256

Number of one-one functions from A to BP44 = 4! = 24

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

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

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



Q 37 :

Let f(x) = logex and g(x)=x42x3+3x22x+22x22x+1. Then the domain of fog is          [2025]

  • (0,)

     

  • [0,)

     

  • [1,)

     

  • R

     

(4)

Given, g(x)=x42x3+3x22x+22x22x+1

Here, DgR          [  2x22x+1>0]

Also, f(x)=logex  Df(0,)             Dfog g(x)>0

 x42x3+3x22x+22x22x+1>0  x42x3+3x22x+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(4x)=224x+4=2x2(2x+4)

     f(x)+f(4x)=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)=2x2x2x+2x 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)=2x2x2x+2x

f(x)=2x12x2x+12x=22x122x+1=1222x+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 : RR be a function defined by f(x)=(2+3a)x2+(a+2a1)x+b, a1. If f(x+y)=f(x)+f(y)+127xy, then the value of 28i=15|f(i)| is         [2025]

  • 675

     

  • 545

     

  • 735

     

  • 715

     

(1)

Given, f(x)=(2+3a)x2+(a+2a1)x+b, a1          ... (i)

Also, f(x+y)=f(x)+f(y)+127xy          ... (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(xx)=f(x)+f(x)+1+27x2

 1=(2+3a)x2+(a+2a1)x1+(2+3a)x2(a+2a1)x1+1+27x2

 (2(2+3a)+27)x2=0  a=57

  f(x)=17x234x1=128(4x2+21x+28)

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

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

         = 675
