(i) To check if h is one – one, we assume that h(b1) = h(b2)
Then we get 2.47 b1 + 54.10 = 2.47 b2 + 54.10
2.47b1 = 2.47b2 ⇒ b1 = b2
Thus, h(b1) = h(b2) ⇒ b1 = b2, So, the function h is one – one.
(ii) If the length of the thigh bone b = 50, then the height is
h(50) = (2.47 x 50) + 54.10 = 177.6 cms
(iii) If the height of a person is 147.96 cms, then h(b) = 147.96 and so the length of the thigh bone is given by 2.47b + 54.10 = 147.96.
b = \(\frac { 93.86 }{ 2.47 } \)
Therefore, the length of the thigh bone is 38 cms.

a = 1, b = 2, c = -2
x = \({-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} \over 2a}\)
substituting the values of a, b and c in the formula we get,
x = \(\frac { -2\pm \sqrt { { \left( 2 \right) }^{ 2 }-4\left( 1 \right) \left( -2 \right) } }{ 2\left( 1 \right) } =\frac { -2\pm \sqrt { 12 } }{ 2 } =-1\pm \sqrt { 3 } \)
Therefore, x = \(-1+\sqrt { 3 } , -1-\sqrt { 3 } \)

Given straight line is 3x - 7y = 11
gives 3x - 7y - 11 = 0
Slope m = \(\frac { -3 }{ -7 } =\frac { 3 }{ 7 } \)

Let BD = x cm, then DC = (6 – x)cm
AD is bisector of\(\angle\) A
Therefore by Angle Bisector Theorem
\(\frac { AB }{ AC } =\frac { BD }{ DC } \)
\(\frac { 10 }{ 14 } =\frac { x }{ 6-x } \quad \frac { 5 }{ 7 } =\frac { x }{ 6-x } \)
So, 12x = 30 we get, \(x=\frac { 30 }{ 12 } =2.5\)
Therefore, BD = 2.5 cm, DC = 6−x = 6−2.5 = 3.5 cm

Th e slope of line r is m1 \(=\frac { 8-2 }{ 5+2 } =\frac { 6 }{ 7 } \)
The slope of line θ is m2 \(=\frac { 0-7 }{ -2+8 } =\frac { -7 }{ 6 } \)
The product of slopes \(=\frac { 6 }{ 7 } \times \frac { -7 }{ 6 } =-1\)
That is, m1m2 = -1
58.
A = {1, 2, 3}, B = {4, 5, 6, 7}; f = {(1, 4),(2, 5),(3, 6)}
Then f is a function from A to B and for different elements in A, there are different images in B. Hence f is one–one function. Note that the element 7 in the co-domain does not have any pre-image in the domain. Hence f is not onto.
Therefore f is one–one but not an onto function.

The ratio of the corresponding sides of similar triangles is same as the ratio of their perimeters.
Since, \(\Delta ABC\sim \Delta PQR\)
\(\frac { AB }{ PQ } =\frac { BC }{ QR } =\frac { AC }{ PR } =\frac { 36 }{ 24 } \)
\(\frac { AB }{ PQ } =\frac { 36 }{ 24 } \ \frac { AB }{ 10 } =\frac { 36 }{ 24 } \)
\(AB=\frac { 36\times 10 }{ 24 } =15cm\)

A ⋂ B refers to a card is both spade and heart. It is not possible

A, B are exclusive events.
P(A,B) = P(A) + P(B) =\(\frac { 1 }{ 4 } +\frac { 1 }{ 4 } =\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \).

Here a = 24, d = 21-24 = -3, Sn = 78. We need to find n.
We know that,
Sn= \(\frac{n}{2}\) (2a + (n - 1)d)
78 = \(\frac{n}{2}\) 48 + (n -1)(-3))
78 = \(\frac{n}{2}\) 2(51-3n)
or 3n2 - 51n + 156 = 0
n2 -17n + 52 = 0
(n - 4)(n - 13) = 0
n = 4 or 13
The number of terms are 4 or 13.

f(2) = 22= 4
f(3) = 32 = 9
f(4) = 42= 16
f(5) = 52= 25
\(\therefore\) Range of f = {1, 4, 9, 16, 25}
Elements in A have been connected with different elements in B. Therefore it is one-one function. But not all the elements in B have preimages in A. Therefore it is not on-to function.
