=1+
15. Relation = { (0,3), (1,4), ( 2,5), (3,5), (4,7), (5,8)} 1+cosec θ
Domain = { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 } and = 1 + cosec – 1 = cosec
Range = { 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 } 25.  T.S.A. of cone = π r ( 𝑙 + r )Sq. Units.
16. fof(k) = ( 2k – 1 )o( 2k – 1 ) = 2(2k – 1) – 1  π r ( 𝑙 + r ) = 704
Thus fof(k) = 4k – 3 22
 x 7 (𝑙 + 7 ) = 704
But, it is given that fof(k) = 5 7
Therefore 4k – 3 = 5  𝑙 + 7 = 32  𝑙 = 25 cm
Therefore slant height of the cone is 25cm.
4k = 8  K = 2
a b 26. Range (R) = 13.67, Largest value (L) = 70.08
17. Given : 2 x 3 = 13824
= 2 9 x 33  R = L – S  13.67 = 70.08 – S
But 2a x 3b = 29 x 33  S = 70.08 – 13.67  S = 56.41
Therefore a = 9 & b = 3 Therefore, the smallest value is 56.41

  = (11)2 – 4 (15) (2)   = 121 – 120
 2 x 2 x 5 : 3 x 3 x 3 = 20 : 27
=1
Therefore  >0, III ANSWER ANY 10 ONLY
 The roots are real and unequal. 29. ( B – C )= { 2, 3, 5, 7 } – { 2 } = { 3, 5, 7 }
21. In  ABC, AD is the bisector of A A x ( B – C )= { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 } x { 3, 5, 7 }
