⇒R×(P ?Q) = {(a, x) ∈ (R × P ) or (a, x) ∈ (R × Q)} A = {2, 3, 5}, B = {2, 5, 6}
Now
⇒R×(P ?Q) = {(a, x) ∈ (R × P ) ∪ (R × Q)}
⇒R × (P ∪ Q) = (R × P ) ∪ (R × Q)

4. We know that on adding a constant to each value in a &
data set does not change the distance between values
so the Standard deviation remains the same
A − B = A − (A ∩ B)
from the equation (i) put A ∩ B = {2, 5}
In the given question we can observe that All

∴ (x + √x 2 − 1) 6 + (x − √x 2 − 1) 6 =
2[ 6 C 0 x 6 + 6 C 2 x 4 (x 2 − 1) + 6 C 4 x 2 (x 2 − 1) 2 + 6 C 6 x 0 (x 2 − 1) 3 ]

∴ α = −96 and β = 36 ∴ α − β = −132

6. All number of 3 digits = X X X

Hence put values from equations (i) &(ii)
∴ n = 9 ⋅ 10 ⋅ 10 = 900

Subsets of set A = {x, y} are
ϕ, {x}, {y}, {x, y}
Hence power set of A
P (A) =??{ϕ, {x}, {y}, {x, y}}

Given sin x + sin y + sin z = −3

The above equation is possible only if
sin x = sin y = sin z = −1
Hence x = y = z =
