Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

In linear programming problems the function whose maxima or minima are to be found is called Objective function . A linear function which has to be maximised or minimised is called as the linear objective function.

Q3. The first, second and last terms of an A.P. are a, b and 2 a. The number of terms in the A.P. is
Answer : Option C

Q4. The measure of variation which is least affected by extreme items is
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

as it only depends on upper and lower quartile not on extreme values

Q5. Maximum of the real valued function f(x) = (x – 1)2/3 occurs at x equal to
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:



Q6. f n ⩾ 2 , then the number of onto mappings or surjections that can be defined from { 1,2,3,4,………..,n} onto {1,2} is
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Explanation:

The number of onto functions that can be defined from a finite set A containing n elements onto a finite set B containing 2 elements = .


Q7. The value of determinant 
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:





Q8. Let f (x) =  – 4x, then
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

f (x) = x4 – 4x

f'(x) = 4(x3) - 4 = 4(x 3- 1) = 4 {(x2) + x + 1)} (x-1) 
= f ‘(x) > 0,if,(x - 1) > 0,
and f ‘(x) <0,  if (x -1 ) < 0.
So,f is decreasing on ( - ,1]

and f is increasing on [1,)


Q9. The acute angle between the lines x – y = 0 and y = 0 is
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

Slope of the line x - y = 0 is 1. This imlpies the tan = 1 Hence the angle made by the line with X- axis is 450

The angle made by the line y = 0 with the Y axis is 900

Therefore the acute angle between the lines is 450


Q10. Which of the following is logically equivalent to p↔q ?
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

By definition p↔q=(p→q)∧(q→p)
