1a) Given sets A ={ x ∈ R :|x|<2 } ,

and B= { x ∈ R :|x−2|≥ 3 }

then, A = { x ∈ R :−2< x<2 }

and B= { x ∈ R : ( x−2 ) ∈ (−∞ ,−3 ] ∪ ¿ }

{ x ∈ R : x ∈ (−∞ ,−1 ] ∪¿ }
∴ B− A=R−(−2 ,5)
Hence, option (a) is correct.
2c) We have, 2|√ x−3|+ √ x ( √ x−6 ) +6=0.

Let √ x−3= y
√ x= y +3
∴ 2| y|+ ( y +3 ) ( y−3 )+ 6=0

→ 2| y|+ y −3=0

→| y| +2| y|−3=0

→ (| y|+3 )(| y|−1 ) =0

→| y|≠−3 →| y|=1

5a) Given function f : R → R, satisfies f ( x + y )=f ( x )+ f ( y )
So, at x = y =1
f ( 2 )=f ( 1 ) + f ( 1 ) =2 f ( 1 )=2 ×2=4
∵ f ( 1 )=2
At x=2∧ y =1
f ( 3 )=f ( 2 ) + f ( 1 )=4 +2=6

Similarly, f ( 4 )=8 and so on.

Now, as g ( n )=∑ f ( k )

= f ( 1 ) + f ( 2 )+ f ( 3 ) +… ..+ f (n−1)

So, if g ( n )=20 n2 −n=20
n(n−1)=20  n=5
Hence, option (a) is correct.

The only triangle which include all three lines is ΔABC .

Now, AB=√ ( 2−1 )2 + ( 2−1 )2 =√ 2

AC = √ ( 2−3 )2 + ( 2−0 )2= √ 5

BC =√ ( 3−1 )2 + ( 0−1 )2=√ 5

AC =BC (two sides are equal)

 ΔABC is isosceles triangle.
15a) Curve x 2+ 2 y 2=2 intersect the line x+y=1 at points P and Q. First we have to find any common relation

x+y=1, then (x + y )2+12

 x 2+ y 2+ 2 xy=1……(ii)

We can write Eq. (i) as,

2 2 2
x + 2 y −2 ( 1 ) =0

 x 2+ 2 y 2 −2 ( x + y )2=0

[using Eq. (ii) in Eq. (i)]

 x 2+ 2 y 2 −2 x 2−2 y 2−4 xy=0

tanθ=−1=tan ( 180 °−45° )
tanθ=tan 135°
θ=135°
α +60 °=135 ° α =75 °
Since, line L having perpendicular distance OM= 4.
So, equation of the line ‘L’ is
x cosα+ y sinα=4
 x cos 75 °+ y sin 75 °=4
 x cos ( 45 °+30 ° ) +¿ y sin ( 45 °+ 30° ) =4 ¿

So, the lines always passes through the point ( 34 , 12 )

19a) Let the coordinates of point P be (x 1 , y 1 )
