Question 8.
If a line makes angles 90°, 135° and 45° with the X, Y and Z-axes respectively, find its direction cosines.
Solution:
Let direction cosines of the line be l, m and n with the X, Y, and Z-axes respectively, and given that
α = 90°, β = 135° and γ = 45°
Then, l = cos α = cos 90° = 0
m = cos β = cos 135° = \(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
and n = cos γ = cos 45° = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
Therefore, the direction cosines of the line are 0, \(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\) and \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\).

Question 12.
Prove that cot-1(-x) = π – cot-1 x, ∀ x ∈ R.
Solution:
Let cot-1(-x) = α
⇒ -cot α = -x
⇒ -cot α = x
⇒ cot(π – α) = x
⇒ π – α = cot-1 x
⇒ α = π – cot-1 x
⇒ cot-1 (-x) = π – cot-1 x

Question 15.
Find \(\frac{d y}{d x}\), if sin2 x + cos2 y = 1.
Solution:
2 sin x cos x + 2 cos y(-sin y) \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) = 0
⇒ \(\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{2 \sin x \cos x}{2 \sin y \cos y}=\frac{\sin 2 x}{\sin 2 y}\)

Question 16.
If y = xx, find \(\frac{d y}{d x}\).
Solution:
2nd PUC Maths Previous Year Question Paper March 2020 Q16

Question 17.
Find the interval in which the function f given by f(x) = x2 – 4x + 6 is strictly decreasing.
Solution:
We have f(x) = x2 – 4x + 6
⇒ f'(x) = 2x – 4
Therefore, f'(x) = 0 gives x = 2.
Now the point x = 2 divides the real line into two disjoint intervals namely (-∞, 2) and (2, ∞).
In the interval (-∞, 2), f'(x) = 2x – 4 < 0. Therefore, f is strictly decreasing in this interval. Also, in the interval (2, ∞) f'(x) > 0 and so the function f is strictly increasing in this interval.

Question 25.
Show that the relation R defined in the set A of all triangles as R = {(T1, T2); T1 is similar to T2} is an equivalence relation.
Solution:
T1 is similar to T2 ⇒ R is reflexive.
Let (T1, T2) ∈ R ⇒ T1 is 111 to T2
⇒ T2 111 T1
⇒ (T2, T1) ∈ R
∴ R is symmetric
Let (T1, T2) ∈ R; (T2, T3) ∈ R
⇒ T1 is 111 to T2 and T2 is 111 to T3
⇒ T1 is 111 to T3
⇒ (T1, T2) ∈ R
∴ R is transitive
∴ R is an equivalence relation.

Question 47.
Derive the equation of a line in space passing through a given point and parallel to a given Vector and Cartesian form.
Solution:
Vector Form
Let \(\vec{a}\) be the position vector of the given point A with respect to the origin O of the rectangular
coordinate system. Let l be the line which passes through point A and is parallel to a given vector \(\vec{b}\). Let \(\vec{r}\) be the position vector of an arbitrary point P on the line Fig.
Then \(\vec{AP}\) is parallel to the vector \(\vec{b}\), i.e., \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{AP}}=\lambda \vec{b}\), where λ is some real number.
But \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{AP}}=\overrightarrow{\mathrm{OP}}-\overrightarrow{\mathrm{AO}}\)
i.e., \(\lambda \vec{b}=\vec{r}-\vec{a}\)
Conversely, for each value of the parameter λ, this equation gives the position vector of a point P on the line. Hence, the vector equation of the line is given by
\(\vec{r}=\vec{a}+\lambda \vec{b}\) ……. (1)
2nd PUC Maths Previous Year Question Paper March 2020 Q47
Cartesian Form
Let the coordinates of the given point A be (x1, y1, z1) and the direction ratios of the line be a, b, c.
Consider the coordinates of any point P be (x, y, z). Then \(\vec{r}=x \hat{i}+y \hat{j}+z \hat{k} ; \vec{a}=x_{1} \hat{i}+y_{1} \hat{j}+z_{1} \hat{k}\) and \(\vec{b}=a \hat{i}+b \hat{j}+c \hat{k}\)
Substituting these values in (1) and equating the coefficients of \(\hat{i}, \hat{j} \text { and } \hat{k}\), we get
x = x1 + λa ; y = y1 + λb ; z = z1 + λc …….. (2)
These are parametric equations of the line. Eliminating the parameter λ from (2), we get
\(\frac{x-x_{1}}{a}=\frac{y-y_{1}}{b}=\frac{z-z_{1}}{c}\)
This is tle Cartesian equation of the line.

Question 48.
