The number of functions f from {1, 2, 3, ...., 20} onto {1, 2, 3, ...., 20} such that f(k) is a multiple of 3,
whenever k is a multiple of 4, is :
A.
65 $ \times $ (15)!
B.
56 $ \times $ 15
C.
(15)! $ \times $ 6!
D.
5! $ \times $ 6!
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
Given that $f(k)$ is a multiple of 3 whenever $k$ is a multiple of 4, we need to consider how to map elements from the domain {1, 2, 3, ..., 20} to the codomain {1, 2, 3, ..., 20} following this rule.
1. We first consider the subset of the domain that consists of multiples of 4: {4, 8, 12, 16, 20}. There are 5 elements in this subset.
2. We then consider the subset of the codomain that consists of multiples of 3: {3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18}. There are 6 elements in this subset.
3. According to the given condition, each of the 5 multiples of 4 must be mapped to a multiple of 3. This can be done in ${ }^6C_5 \cdot 5! = 6!$ ways, considering that there are 6 options for each of the 5 multiples of 4 (each choice constitutes a combination), and we then consider the permutations of these 5 choices.
4. The remaining 15 elements in the domain (20 original elements minus the 5 multiples of 4) can be mapped onto the remaining 15 elements in the codomain (20 original elements minus the 6 multiples of 3, plus one multiple of 3 that has been assigned to a multiple of 4). This can be done in $15!$ ways.
So, combining these two cases, the total number of onto functions $f$ is $6! \times 15!$, which corresponds to option C.

A.

C.
${{ - 1} \over {12}}$
D.

invertible and ${f^{ - 1}}\left( y \right) = {{2y - 1} \over {y - 1}}$
C.
invertible and ${f^{ - 1}}\left( y \right) = {{2y + 1} \over {y - 1}}$
D.
not invertible
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
Assume,
y = f(x)
$ \Rightarrow $ y = ${{x - 1} \over {x - 2}}$
$ \Rightarrow $ yx - 2y = x - 1
$ \Rightarrow $ (y - 1)x = 2y - 1
$ \Rightarrow $ x = ${{2y - 1} \over {y - 1}}$ = f -1(y)
As on the given domain the function is invertible and its inverse can be computed as shown above.

A.

B.

C.

D.

Explanation:
f(1) = 1 - 5$\left[ {{1 \over 5}} \right]$ = 1
f(6) = 6 - 5$\left[ {{6 \over 5}} \right]$ = 1
So, this function is many to one.
f(10) = 10 - 5$\left[ {{10 \over 5}} \right]$ = 0 which is not present in the set of natural numbers.

Clearly $f$ is one one and onto, so invertible

} } \right.$$
is
A.
neither one -one nor onto
B.
one-one but not onto
C.
onto but not one-one
D.
one-one and onto both
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
We have $f:N \to I$
If $x$ and $y$ are two even natural numbers,
then $f\left( x \right) = f\left( y \right) \Rightarrow {{ - x} \over 2} = {{ - y} \over 2} \Rightarrow x = y$
Again if $x$ and $y$ are two odd natural numbers then
$f\left( x \right) = f\left( y \right) \Rightarrow {{x - 1} \over 2} = {{y - 1} \over 2} \Rightarrow x = y$
$\therefore$ $f$ is onto.
Also each negative integer is an image of even natural number and each positive integer is an image of odd natural number.
$\sqrt x $ is non periodic function and $\cos \left( {something} \right)$ is a periodic function so here in $\cos \sqrt x $ $ \to $ inside periodic function there is non periodic function which always produce non periodic function.
${{{\cos }^2}x}$ is a periodic function with period $\pi $
Note : (1) When $n$ is odd then the period of ${\sin ^n}\theta $, ${\cos ^n}\theta $, ${\csc ^n}\theta $, ${\sec ^n}\theta $ = $2\pi $
(2) When $n$ is even then the period of ${\sin ^n}\theta $, ${\cos ^n}\theta $, ${\csc ^n}\theta $, ${\sec ^n}\theta $ = $\pi $
(3) When $n$ is even/odd then the period of ${\tan ^n}\theta $, ${\cot ^n}\theta $ = $\pi $
(3) When $n$ is even/odd then the period of $\left| {{{\sin }^n}\theta } \right|$, $\left| {{{\cos }^n}\theta } \right|$, $\left| {{{\csc }^n}\theta } \right|$, $\left| {{{\sec }^n}\theta } \right|$, $\left| {{{\tan }^n}\theta } \right|$, $\left| {{{\cot }^n}\theta } \right|$ = $\pi $
$\cos \sqrt x + {\cos ^2}x$ = non periodic function + periodic function = non periodic function

Correct Answer: 96
Explanation:
To determine the range of the function $f(\theta)=\frac{\sin ^4 \theta+3 \cos ^2 \theta}{\sin ^4 \theta+\cos ^2 \theta}$, let's start by simplifying the expression. Let $\sin^2 \theta = x$, so $\cos^2 \theta = 1 - x$. The function then transforms into:
$ f(x) = \frac{x^2 + 3(1-x)}{x^2 + (1-x)} $
Simplify the numerator and denominator separately:
Next, we need to find the range of this function. Let's analyze the function by testing specific values of $x$ in the interval $[0, 1]$ (since $\sin^2 \theta$ ranges from 0 to 1):
Therefore, the sum of the infinite geometric progression is 96.

Let $\mathrm{A}=\{1,2,3,4,5\}$ and $\mathrm{B}=\{1,2,3,4,5,6\}$. Then the number of functions $f: \mathrm{A} \rightarrow \mathrm{B}$ satisfying $f(1)+f(2)=f(4)-1$ is equal to __________.
Correct Answer: 360
Explanation:
Given that the function $f : A \rightarrow B$ satisfies the condition $f(1) + f(2) = f(4) - 1$, where the set $A = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}$ and the set $B = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\}$.
We want to find out how many such functions exist.
First, observe that the condition $f(1) + f(2) = f(4) - 1$ can be rewritten as $f(1) + f(2) + 1 = f(4)$. So, the sum of $f(1), f(2),$ and 1 is equal to $f(4)$. Since $f(4)$ is a value in set B, it can take values from 1 to 6.
The maximum value of $f(1) + f(2) + 1$ can be $6 + 6 + 1 = 13$, but this is more than 6 (the maximum value of $f(4)$), so it's not possible. Thus, the maximum value of $f(4)$ in this case can be 6.
Let's now analyze the number of functions for each value of $f(4)$ from 3 to 6 (we start from 3 because $f(1)$ and $f(2)$ take values from set B and their minimum sum plus 1 is 3):
1. When $f(4) = 6$, then $f(1) + f(2) = 5$. The pairs $(f(1), f(2))$ that satisfy this equation are $(1, 4), (2, 3), (3, 2), (4, 1)$. For each of these 4 cases, the functions $f(3)$ and $f(5)$ can each take 6 values from set B, resulting in $4 \times 6 \times 6 = 144$ functions.
2. When $f(4) = 5$, then $f(1) + f(2) = 4$. The pairs $(f(1), f(2))$ that satisfy this equation are $(1, 3), (2, 2), (3, 1)$. For each of these 3 cases, the functions $f(3)$ and $f(5)$ can each take 6 values from set B, resulting in $3 \times 6 \times 6 = 108$ functions.
3. When $f(4) = 4$, then $f(1) + f(2) = 3$. The pairs $(f(1), f(2))$ that satisfy this equation are $(1, 2), (2, 1)$. For each of these 2 cases, the functions $f(3)$ and $f(5)$ can each take 6 values from set B, resulting in $2 \times 6 \times 6 = 72$ functions.
4. When $f(4) = 3$, then $f(1) + f(2) = 2$. The only pair $(f(1), f(2))$ that satisfies this equation is $(1, 1)$. For this case, the functions $f(3)$ and $f(5)$ can each take 6 values from set B, resulting in $1 \times 6 \times 6 = 36$ functions.
Adding the numbers of functions from all these cases, we get a total of $144 + 108 + 72 + 36 = 360$ functions from $A$ to $B$ that satisfy the given condition.
Therefore, the number of functions $f : A \rightarrow B$ satisfying the condition $f(1) + f(2) = f(4) - 1$ is 360.

Explanation:
$\because$ ${a_1},{a_2},{a_3},{a_4}$
$\therefore$ ${a_2} = p - 3d,\,{a_2} = p - d,\,{a_3} = p + d$ and ${a_4} = p + 3d$

either $9{d^2} - q = {d^2} - q$
