- Mark the Correct alternative in the following: The value of
is
a) 4
b) 1
c) 5
d) 3
Ans: (c) 4
Explanation:
Given to find the value of ![]()
We will solve the expression in two parts,
Now Solving 1st term = ![]()
= 
If multiply and divide the term by 2, we get,
= 
Using the formula for
and ![]()
Solve the 2nd term
![]()
= ![]()
Using the formula ![]()
![]()
= ![]()
= ![]()
= ![]()
Now combining
= ![]()
= 4

- Given the three straight lines with equations
and
, then these lines are
a) the sides of an equilateral triangle
b) the sides of an isosceles triangle
c) the sides of a right angled triangle
d) concurrent
Ans (d) concurrent Explanation:
The lines are said to be concurrent 
On expanding we get
5(10 + 10) – 4(5 + 20) + 0 = 0
Hence the lines are concurrent.

x ∈ A and x ∉B
x ∈ A and x ∈ B’
x ∈ A ⋂ B’
A and B’ are non – disjoint.
