35) Explain Question: In this question we have to identify the types of relation.
Concept: In this we have to explain different type of relation (reflexive, symmetric, transitive)
Solution:
For R, xRy ⇒ x = wy
For reflexive
xRx ⇒ x = wx
Which is true then w = 1
For symmetric
consider x = 0, y ≠ 0
xRy ⇒ 0Ry ⇒ 0 = wy
which is true when w = 0
Now
yRx ⇒ yR0 ⇒ y = w × 0
There is no rational value of w
for which y = w × 0
Hence relation is not symmetric and hence not an equivalence relation
Now for S
For reflexive

S ⇒ mn = nm
which is true
For symmetric

Let S ⇒ qm = np

S ⇒ pn = mq
which is true
Relation is symmetric
For transitive

Let S ⇒ qm = pn ...(1)

S ⇒ ps = rq ...(2)

Concept: Used the basic of ellipse and then got the equation of line using point form.
Solution:
Given ellipse is 9x2 + 25y2 = 225

or
a2 = 25 Þ a = 5 (length of semi major axis)
b2 = 9 Þ b = 3 (length of semi minor axis)
eccentricity of given ellipse is

or
now focus of ellipse ⇒ S1(ae, 0) and S2 (–ae, 0)

or and

or and
Thus the given point (–4, 0) from where a ray is incidenting on ellipse at point P since (–4, 0) is
a focus of ellipse and therefore the reflected ray will pass through the second focus of ellipse.

abscissa of point P is 3. Point P on the ellipse Therefore

or y = ±

Now equation of first reflected ray ⇒ passing through two points (y, 0) and
⇒

now equation of second reflected ray ⇒

this (4, 0) and ⇒

5y = 12x – 48

the other side of the square (at point E), and draw We now have a right triangle, with
hypotenuse of length 20. Since OQ = OP – PQ = 20 – 10 – 10, we know that OE = AB – OQ =

AB – 10. The other leg. AE, is just

of function at given parameter.
Concept: They used the concept of functional equation to solve the equation by using
transformation of parameters.
Solution:
ƒ(a,b) = ƒ(a –1, b) + (a – 1)
= ƒ(a – 2, b) + (a – 2) + (a – 1)

= ƒ(1, b) +

= ƒ(1, b – 1) – (b – 1) +

= ƒ(1, 1) – +

⇒
⇒ (a – b)(a + b – 1) = 2.1999
then 1999 is prime and a – b < a + b – 1
⇒ a – b = 1, a + b – 1 = 3998
⇒ a = 2000
b = 1999
If a – b = 2, a + b – 1 = 1999
⇒ a = 1001, b = 999
