KBPE Class 11th Maths Important Questions & Answers

Question 1: Find sum to “n” terms of the sequence 4 + 44 + 444 + _________.

Solution:

4 + 44 + 444 + … to n terms

= 4 [ 1 + 11 + 111 + … to n terms ]

= (4 / 9) [ 9 + 99 + 999 + … to n terms ]

= (4 / 9) [(10 – 1) + (10² – 1) + (10³ – 1) + … + (10ⁿ – 1)]

= (4 / 9) [(10 + 10² + 10³ + … + 10ⁿ ) – ( 1 + 1 + 1 + … n times)]

= (4 / 9) {10 [(10ⁿ – 1 ) / ( 10 – 1 ) ] – n(1)}

= (4 / 9) [(10 / 9) ( 10ⁿ – 1 ) – n]

Question 2: Solve sin 2x + sin 4x + sin 6x = 0.

Solution:

(sin 2x + sin 6x) + sin 4x = 0

2 sin 4x . cos2x + sin 4x = 0

sin 4x (2 cos 2x + 1) = 0

sin 4x = 0 or 2 cos 2x + 1= 0

sin 4x = 0 or cos 2x = – 1 / 2 = – cos 𝛑 / 3 = cos (𝛑 – 𝛑 / 3)

Using sinx = 0 ⇒ x = n𝛑

sin 4x = 0

4x = n𝛑

The general solution is x = (n𝛑) / 4 using cos x = cos ɑ

⇒ x = 2mx ± ɑ

cos 2x = cos ((2𝛑) / 3)

2x = 2m𝛑 ± (2𝛑) / 3

The general solution is x = m𝛑 ± 𝛑 / 3 where m,n in z.

Question 3: One card is drawn at random from a pack of 52 playing cards. Find the probability that:

[a] The card drawn is black

[b] The card drawn is a face card

[c] The card drawn is a blackface card

Solution:

[a] There are 26 black cards in a deck.

Let E1 = event of getting a black card

Number of favourable outcomes = 26

P (E1) = Number of favourable outcomes / total number of outcomes

P (E1) = 26 / 52 = 1 / 2

[b] There are 12 face cards.

Let E2 = Event of getting a face card

Number of favourable outcomes to E2 = 12

P(E2) = Number of favourable outcomes / total number of outcomes

P(E2) = 12 / 52 = 3 / 13

[c] The probability of choosing a black face card is 6 / 52.

Question 4: (a) If A= {a, b, c}, then write the power set P (A).

(b) If the number of subsets with 2 elements of a set P is 10, then find the total number of elements in set P.

(c) Find the number of elements in the power set of P.

Solution:

[a] P(A) = {○ , {a} , {b} , {c} , {a , b} , {b , c} , {c , a} , {a , b , c} }

[b] Number of subsets with 2 elements = nC2

nC2 = 10

n (n – 1) ÷ 2 = 10

n (n – 1) = 20

n (n – 1) = 5 (5 – 1)

n = 5

[c] 2n

Question 5: Consider the Venn diagram of the Universal Set U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13}

[b] A ∪ B = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 11}

(A ∪ B)’ = {1, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13}

A’ = {1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13}

B’ = {1, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13}

A′ ∩ B′ = {1, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13}

(A ∪ B)′ = A′ ∩ B′

Distance = √(4 – 4)2 + (8 – 0)2 + (10 – 0)2 = 2√41

[c] [mx2 + nx1] / [m + n] [mx2 + nx1] = 0

m / n = – x1 / x2 = – 2 / 3

m:n = – 2:3

x = – b ± √b2 – 4ac / 2a

x = – 1 ± √3i / 2

[b] Let Z = (- 1 / 2) + i √3 / 2

x = – 1 / 2 and y = √3 / 2

r = √x2 + y2 = √(1 / 4) + (3 / 4) = 1

θ = 𝛑 – (𝛑 / 3) = 2𝛑 / 3

Z = r (cos θ + i sin θ)

= 1 (cos (2𝛑 / 3) + i sin (2𝛑 / 3)) is the polar form

KBPE class 11 important questions Q9

[a] Calculate the mean of the distribution.

[b] Find the standard deviation of the distribution.

[c] Find the coefficient of variation of the distribution.

Solution:

[a]
Class fi xi fixi xi2 fixi2
10 – 20 6 15 90 225 1350
20 – 30 15 25 375 625 9375
30 – 40 13 35 455 1225 15925
40 – 50 7 45 315 2025 14175
50 – 60 9 55 495 3025 27225
50 1730 68050
[a] Mean = ∑fixi / ∑fi

= 1730 / 50

= 34.6

[b] Variance = ∑fixi2 / ∑fi – (mean)2

= [68050 / 50] – [34.6]2

= 163.84

Standard deviation = 12.8

[c] Coefficient of variation = [SD / (mean)] * 100

= (12.8 / 34.6) * 100

= 36.99

Question 10: Consider the statement “102n−1 + 1 is divisible by 11”. Verify that P(1) is true and then prove the statement by using mathematical induction.

Solution:

P (1) = 102n−1 + 1 = 102-1 + 1 = 10 + 1 = 11 is divisible by 11.

Hence P (1) is true.

P (k) = 102k-1 + 1 is divisible by 11

102k-1 + 1 = 11d

102k-1 = 11d – 1 —- (1)

To prove that P (k + 1) is true

P (k + 1) = 102(k+1)-1 + 1

102k+2-1 + 1 = 102k-1+2 + 1

= 102k-1 . 102 + 1

= 100 . 102k-1 + 1

= 100 [11d – 1] + 1

= 100 [11d] – 100 + 1

= 100 [11d] – 99

= 11 [100d – 9]

= 11d

P (k + 1) is true.

Hence P(n) is true for all n ∈ N.

(a) 1 / √2

(b) √3 / 2

(c) − 1 / √2

(d) 1 / 2

(ii) Find the principal and general solutions of sin x = – √3 / 2

(iii) Prove that tan [A − B / 2] = [a − b] / [a + b] cot c / 2.

Solution:

[i] Answer: (c)

[ii] sin x = – √3 / 2

= – sin (𝛑 / 3)

= sin (𝛑 + 𝛑 / 3)

= sin (4𝛑 / 3)

sin x = sin (4𝛑 / 3)

x = n𝛑 + (- 1)n (4𝛑 / 3)

[c] From the law of cosines a = R sin A, b = R sin B

(a – b) / (a + b) = [2R sin A – 2R sin B] / [2R sin A + 2R sin B]

= [sin A – sin B] / [sin A + sin B]

= [2 cos (A + B) / 2 * sin (A – B) / 2] / [2 sin (A + B) / 2 * cos (A – B) / 2]

= cot (A + B) / 2 * tan (A – B) / 2

= cot (90 – C / 2) * tan (A – B) / 2

= tan C / 2 * tan (A – B) / 2

= 1 / cot (C / 2) * tan (A – B) / 2

tan (A – B) / 2 = [(a – b) / (a + b)] cot C / 2

Question 15[a]: Find the equation of the line passing through the points (3, -2) and (-1, 4).

(b) Reduce the equation √3x + y − 8 = 0 into normal form.

(c) If the angle between two lines is π / 4 and the slope of one of the lines is 1 / 2, find the slope of the other line.

Solution:

[a] y – y1 = [y2 – y1 / x2 – x1] (x – x1)

y + 2 = [4 + 2] / [- 1 – 3] [x – 3]

y + 2 = (- 3 / 2) (x – 3)

2y + 4 = – 3x + 9

3x + 2y – 5 = 0

[b] √3x + y − 8 = 0

√3x + y = 8

Dividing by (√3)2 + 12 = 2

(√3 / 2) x + (1 / 2) y = 4

[c] cos 30o x + sin 30o y = 4

m1 = (1 / 2)

m2 = m1

tan θ = |(m2 – m1) / (1 + m1m2)|

tan 𝛑 / 4 = |(m2 – (1 / 2)) / 1 + (1 / 2) m2|

m = 3 or (- 1 / 3)

KBPE class 11 important questions Q16b

Question 17: (a) Write the negation of the statement :

“Every natural number is greater than zero”

(b) Verify by the method of contradiction :

“P: √13 is irrational”.

Solution:

[a] Negation: It is false that every natural number is greater than 0. There exists a natural number which is not greater than 0.

[b] Assume that √13 is rational, √13 = (a / b), where a and b are coprime.

13b2 = a2

13 divides a

There exists an integer k such that a = 13k.

a2 = 169k2

13b2 = 169k2

13k2 = 13 divides b

13 divides both a and b which is a contradiction to our assumption that √13 is rational. So, √13 is irrational.

Question 18: (a) A= { X / X is a prime number, X ≤ 6

(i) Represent A in the Roster form

(ii) Write the Powerset of A

(b) Out of the 25 members in an office, 17 like to take tea, 16 like to take coffee. Assume that each takes at least one of the two drinks.

How many like:

(i) Both Coffee and Tea?

(ii) Only Tea and not Coffee?

Solution:

[a] [i] Roster form = {2,3,5}

[ii] Power set = {( ), (2), (3), (5), (2, 3), (2, 5) (5, 3), (2, 3, 5)}

[b] [i] Let –

A = {people drinking tea}

B = {people drinking coffee}

A ∩ B = {people drinking tea / coffee}

A ∪ B = {people drinking both tea / coffee}

n (A) = 17

n (B) = 16

n (A ∪ B) = 25

Number of people drinking both tea & coffee,

n (A ∩ B) = n (A) + n (B) – n (A ∪ B)

n (A ∩ B) = 17 + 16 – 25

n (A ∩ B) = 8

[ii] Number of people drinking only tea,

n (A / B) = n (A) – n (A ∩ B)

n (A / B) = 17 – 8

n (A / B) = 9

Therefore, the number of people drinking both tea & coffee is 8 and those drinking only tea are 9.

Question 19: (a) Number of terms in the expansion of [x + 1 / x]10 is ______

(i) 10

(ii) 9

(iii) 11

(iv) 12

(b) Find the term independent of x in the above expansion.

Solution:

[a] Answer: 11

[b] a = x, b = (1 / x), n = 10

tr+1 = nCr an+r br = 10Cr x10+r (1 / x)r

= 10Cr x10-r (x)-r

= 10Cr x10-r-r

= 10Cr x10-2r

Put 10 – 2r = 0

10 = 2r

r = 5

t5+1 = 10C5 x10-2*5

t6 = 252

Question 20: (i) If the nth term of the sequence is n (n2 + 5) / 4, then find its first two terms.

Solution:

[i] a1 = 3 / 2; a2 = 9 / 2

[ii] Sn = (n / 2) (2a + [n – 1] d)

-25 = (n / 2) [2 * (-6) + [n – 1] (1 / 2)]

n = 20, 5

[iii] ar2 = 24, ar5 = 192

a = 6, r = 2

a10 = ar9

6 (2)9 = 3072

Question 21: Find the coordinates of the foci vertices, eccentricity and the length of the latus rectum of the ellipse 100x2 + 25y2 = 2500.

Solution:

x2 / 25 + y2 / 100 = 1

The major axis is vertical.

a = 10; b = 5

c2 = a2 – b2 = 75

The foci are at (0, ± √75).
