Q1. Least square lines of regression give best possible estimates , when ρ(X,Y) is equal to
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

Least square lines of regression give best possible estimates when the lines coincide at that point ρ=±1

Q2. The area of the region bounded by y =  and y = 1 is
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

01[(x1)(1x)]dx=1

Q3. Let R be the relation defined in the set A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7} by R = {(a, b) : both a and b are either odd or even}. Then R is
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Consider any a ,b , c A .

  1. Since both a and a must be either even or odd, so (a , a) R is reflexive.
  2. Let (a ,b)  both a and b must be either even or odd,  both b and a must be either even or odd,  ( b ,a) R .Thus , (a ,b)  ( b ,a) R is symmetric.
  3. Let (a ,b) R and (b ,c)  both a and b must be either even or odd, also ,both b and c must be either even or odd,  all elements a, b and c must be either even or odd,  ( a ,c) R . Thus , (a ,b)  ( b ,c)  (a ,c) R is transitive.

Q4. If 1/a+1/b+ 1/c = 0 , then 
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:



Q5. The locus of the equation xy = 0 is
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

The equation of the pair of straight lines paasing through the origin is fiven by is given by ax2 + 2hxy + by2 =0

The condition for perpendicularity between the pair of lines is a+b = 0

Hence the locus of the pair of these perpendicular straight lines should be xy = 0


Q6. Which of the following statement is a tautology ?
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:



Q7. Which of the following is not equal to 
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:



Q8.
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

Let



Q9. If  then is equal to
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

tan1x+tan1(1x)tan1x+cot1x=π2
Q10. A circle passes through (0, 0) ( a, 0), (0, b). The coordinates of its centre are
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

Because line joining the points (a, 0) and (0, b)  will be diameter and it's mid-point will be centre of the circle.

Or let the equation of circle be 

as circle passes through  (0,0) , (a,0) and (0,b), they will satisfy the above equation

putting the points in above equation we get


  ---(ii)

 ---(iii)

Solving (i) and (ii),we get  h=

whereas solving (i) and (iii) we get k=

hence its center is
