Given, 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏, 𝑔(𝑥) = 𝑐𝑥 + 𝑑
∵ 𝑓{𝑔(𝑥)} = 𝑔{𝑓(𝑥)}
⇒ 𝑓(𝑐𝑥 + 𝑑) = 𝑔(𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏)
⇒ 𝑎(𝑐𝑥 + 𝑑) + 𝑏 = 𝑐(𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏) + 𝑑
⇒ 𝑎𝑑 + 𝑏 = 𝑏𝑐 + 𝑑
⇒ 𝑓(𝑑) = 𝑔(𝑏)
4 (c)
Since ϕ(𝑥) = sin4 𝑥 + cos4 𝑥 is periodic with period 𝜋/2

For choice (a), we have
𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑦);𝑥,𝑦 ∈ [ ― 1,∞)

So, 𝑓 is an injection

⇒log0.3|𝑥 ― 2| ≥ 0 and 𝑥 ≠ 0, 2
⇒|𝑥 ― 2| ≤ 1 and 𝑥 ≠ 0, 2
⇒𝑥 ∈ [1, 3] and 𝑥 ≠ 2⇒𝑥 ∈ [1, 2) ∪ (2, 3]

Since g(𝑥) = 3sin 𝑥 is a many-one function. Therefore, 𝑓(𝑥) ―3sin 𝑥 is many-one
Also, ―1 ≤ sin 𝑥 ≤ 1

17 (c)
Given, 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥3 +5𝑥 + 1
Now, 𝑓′(𝑥) = 3𝑥2 +5 > 0, ∀𝑥 ∈ 𝑅
∴ 𝑓(𝑥) is strictly increasing function.
∴ 𝑓(𝑥) is one-one function.
Clearly, 𝑓(𝑥) is a continous function and also increasing on 𝑅,
lim 𝑓(𝑥) = ―∞ 𝑎𝑛𝑑 lim = ∞
𝑥→ ― ∞ 𝑥→∞
∴ 𝑓(𝑥) takes every value between ―∞ and ∞
Thus, 𝑓(𝑥)is onto function.

Let 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥𝑛 ± 1, where 𝑛 ∈ 𝐼.
Now, 𝑓(4) = 65

Let 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥𝑛 +1

⇒ 65 = 4𝑛 + 1
⇒ 𝑛=3
Case II
Let 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥𝑛 ―1
⇒ 𝑓(4) = 4𝑛 ― 1 ⇒65 = 4𝑛 ― 1
⇒ 4𝑛 = 66
The quality does not hold true for 𝑛 ∈ 𝑍.
Therefore, 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥3 +1
Now, 𝑓(6) = 63 +1 = 216 + 1 = 217

We have,
𝑓(𝑥) = cos( sin 𝑥 ) + sin( cos 𝑥 )
We observe that 𝑓(𝑥) is not defined in (𝜋/2, 3 𝜋/2) and it is aperiodic function with period 2 𝜋. So,
let us consider the internal [ ― 𝜋/2, 𝜋/2] as it domain. Further, since 𝑓(𝑥) is an even function. So, we
will consider 𝑓(𝑥) defined on [0, 𝜋/2] only.
Clearly, cos( sin 𝑥 ) and sin( cos 𝑥 ) are decreasing functions on [0, 𝜋/2]

But, 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑔(𝑥) = 𝑥, for all 𝑥 ≥ 0 [ ∵ |𝑥| = 𝑥 for all 𝑥 ≥ 0]

The least value of 16 ― 𝑥 is 0 for 𝑥 =± 4 and the greatest value is 16 for 𝑥 = 0. Therefore, the

1 (c)
Given, 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥3 ―1
Let 𝑥1, 𝑥2 ∈ 𝑅
Now, 𝑓(𝑥1) = 𝑓(𝑥2)
⇒ 𝑥31 ― 1 = 𝑥32 ― 1
⇒ 𝑥31 = 𝑥32
⇒ 𝑥 1 = 𝑥2
∴ 𝑓(𝑥) is one-one. Also, it is onto as range of 𝑓 = 𝑅
Hence, it is a bijection.

cos―1 𝑥
∵ 𝑓(𝑥) =
[𝑥]
For 𝑓(𝑥) to be defined ―1 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 1 and [𝑥] ≠ 0⇒𝑥 ∉ [0, 1)
∴ Domain of 𝑓(𝑥) is [ ―1, 0) ∪ {1}.
4 (c)
Let 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑔(𝑥) +ℎ(𝑥) +𝑢(𝑥), where
1 ―1
𝑥 1
𝑔(𝑥) = 𝑥,ℎ(𝑥) = 2sin and 𝑢(𝑥) = 𝑥―2
The domain of 𝑔(𝑥) is the set of all real numbers other than zero i.e. 𝑅 ― {0}
The domain of ℎ(𝑥) is the set [ ― 1, 1] and the domain of 𝑢(𝑥) is the set of all reals greater than 2,
i.e., (2, ∞)
Therefore, domain of 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑅 ― {0} ∩ [ ―1, 1] ∩ (2, ∞) = ϕ
5 (b)
Given, 2𝑓(𝑥) +𝑓(1 ― 𝑥) = 𝑥2 ...(i)

8 (a)
Since, 𝑓( ―𝑥) = ―𝑓(𝑥) and 𝑓(𝑥 + 2) = 𝑓(𝑥)
∴ 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑓(0) and 𝑓( ―2) = 𝑓( ―2 + 2) = 𝑓(0)
Now, 𝑓(0) = 𝑓( ―2) = ―𝑓(2) = ―𝑓(0)
⇒2𝑓(0) = 0 ⇒ 𝑓(0) = 0
∴ 𝑓(4) = 𝑓(2) = 𝑓(0) = 0

3𝑥 ― 9, if 𝑥 ≥ 4
―3𝑥 + 6, if 𝑥 < 1
{
𝑥 ― 2, if 1 ≤ 𝑥 < 2
∴ 𝑔(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑥 + 1) = 𝑥, if 2 ≤ 𝑥 < 3
3𝑥 ― 6, if 𝑥 ≥ 3
Clearly, 𝑔(𝑥) is neither even nor odd. Also, 𝑔(𝑥) is not a periodic function
12 (b)
We have,
𝑓 :[2,∞)→𝐵 such that 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥2 ―4 𝑥 + 5
Since 𝑓 is a bijection. Therefore, 𝐵 = Range of 𝑓
Now,
𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥2 ―4𝑥 + 5 = 5 = (𝑥 ― 2)2 +1 for all 𝑥 ∈ [2,∞)
⇒𝑓(𝑥) ≥ 1 for all 𝑥 ∈ [2,∞)⇒ Range of 𝑓 = [1,∞)
Hence, 𝐵 = [1,∞)
13 (d)
Given, 𝑅 = {(𝑥, 𝑦):4𝑥 + 3𝑦 = 20}.
Since, 𝑅 is a relation on 𝑁, therefore 𝑥, 𝑦 are the elements of 𝑁. But in options (a) and (b) elements
are not natural numbers and option (c) does not satisfy the given relation 4𝑥 + 3𝑦 = 20.
14 (b)
Since the function 𝑓:𝑅→𝑅 given by 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥3 +5 is a bijection. Therefore, 𝑓―1 exists
Let 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑦. Then,
𝑥3 + 5 = 𝑦
⇒𝑥 = (𝑦 ― 5)1/3 [ ∵ 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑦⇔𝑥 = 𝑓―1(𝑦)]
Hence, 𝑓―1(𝑥) = (𝑥 ― 5)1/3
15 (a)
We have,
𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥,𝑔(𝑥) = |𝑥| for all 𝑥 ∈ 𝑅
Now,
[ϕ(𝑥) ― 𝑓(𝑥)]2 + [ϕ(𝑥) ― 𝑔(𝑥)]2 = 0
⇒ϕ(𝑥) ― 𝑓(𝑥) = 0 and ϕ(𝑥) ― 𝑔(𝑥) = 0

1 (c)
The period of the function in option (a) is 2. The period of the function in option (b) is 24.
The period of the function in option (c) is 2π.
2 (a)
We have,
𝑓(𝑥) = 3 sin 𝑥 + cos 𝑥 + 4
⇒𝑓(𝑥) = 2( sin 𝑥 cos 𝜋/6 + cos 𝑥 sin 𝜋/6 ) + 4
⇒𝑓(𝑥) = 2 sin(𝑥 + 𝜋/6) + 4
Clearly, 𝑓(𝑥) will be a bijection, if sin(𝑥 + 𝜋/6) is a bijection
Now,
sin(𝑥 + 𝜋/6) is a bijection
⇒ ― 𝜋/2 ≤ 𝑥 + 𝜋/6 ≤ 𝜋/2
⇒ ― 2𝜋/3 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 𝜋/3
⇒𝑥 ∈ [ ― 2𝜋/3,𝜋/3]
For 𝑥 ∈ [ ― 2/3𝜋,𝜋/3], we have
―1 ≤ sin(𝑥 + 𝜋/6) ≤ 1
⇒ ― 2 ≤ 2 sin(𝑥 + 𝜋/6) ≤ 2
⇒ ― 2 + 4 ≤ 2 sin(𝑥 + 𝜋/6) + 4 ≤ 2 + 4
⇒2 ≤ 𝑓(𝑥) ≤ 6
⇒Range of 𝑓(𝑥) = [2, 6]
Hence, 𝐴 = [ ― 2𝜋/3,𝜋/3] and 𝐵 = [2, 6]
3 (c)
We have,
𝑓(𝑥) = 2𝑥 + 3 and 𝑔(𝑥) = 𝑥2 + 7
∴ 𝑔(𝑓(𝑥)) = 𝑔(2𝑥 + 3) = (2𝑥 + 3)2 + 7
Now,
𝑔(𝑓(𝑥)) = 8
⇒(2𝑥 + 3)2 + 7 = 8
⇒(2𝑥 + 3)2 = 1
⇒2𝑥 + 3 =± 1⇒2𝑥 = ―4, ― 2⇒𝑥 = ―1, ― 2

Given, 𝑓(𝑥) = tan―1 = 2 tan―1 𝑥(𝑥2 < 1)
1 ― 𝑥2
Since, 𝑥 ∈ ( ― 1, 1).
𝜋 𝜋

⇒ tan 𝑥 ∈ ― , (4 4
)
𝜋 𝜋
(
⇒ 2 tan―1 𝑥 ∈ ― ,
2 2
)
𝜋 𝜋
So, 𝑓(𝑥) ∈ ( ― , )
2 2
2 (a)
Let 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥3
∴ 𝑥 = 𝑦1/3
⇒ 𝑓―1(𝑥) = 𝑥1/3
∴ 𝑓―1(8) = (8)1/3 = 2
3 (d)
For 𝑓(𝑥) = log(𝑥―2) 2 to exist, we must have
𝑥+3
𝑥―2 𝑥―2
> 0 and ≠ 1⇒𝑥 < ―3 or 𝑥 > 2,𝑥 ≠ ―3,𝑥 ≠ 2
𝑥+3 𝑥+3
1
For 𝑔(𝑥) = 𝑥2 ― 9
to exist, we must have
𝑥2 ― 9 > 0⇒𝑥 < ―3 or 𝑥 > 0
Thus, 𝑓(𝑥) and 𝑔(𝑥) both do not exist for ―3 < 𝑥 < 2, i.e., for 𝑥 ∈ ( ― 3, 2)
4 (b)
For choice (a), we have
𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑦), 𝑥,𝑦 ∈ [ ― 1, ∞)
⇒|𝑥 + 1| = |𝑦 + 1|⇒𝑥 + 1 = 𝑦 + 1⇒𝑥 = 𝑦
So, 𝑓 is an injection
For choice (b), we have
5 5
g(2) = and g(1/2) =
2 2
1
∴ 2 ≠ but 𝑔(2) = g(1/2)
2
Thus, g(𝑥) is not injective
⇒ 𝑎 + 𝑏 = 11 …(ii)
On solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
𝑎 = 9, 𝑏=2
19 (d)
𝑥2 ― 8
We have, 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥2 + 2
Clearly, 𝑓( ―𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑥). Therefore, 𝑓 is not one-one
Again,
𝑥2 ― 8 10
𝑓(𝑥) = 2 =1― 2
𝑥 +2 𝑥 +2
⇒𝑓(𝑥) < 1 for all 𝑥 ∈ 𝑅
⇒ Range 𝑓 ≠ Co-domain of 𝑓 𝑖.𝑒. 𝑅.
So, 𝑓 is not onto. Hence, 𝑓 is neither one-one nor onto
20 (b)
―1
sin (𝑥 ― 3) is defined for the values of 𝑥 satisfying
―1 ≤ 𝑥 ― 3 ≤ 1⇒2 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 4⇒𝑥 ∈ [2, 4]
9 ― 𝑥2 is defined for the values of 𝑥 satisfying
9 ― 𝑥2 ≥ 0⇒𝑥2 ― 9 ≤ 0⇒𝑥 ∈ [ ― 3, 3]
Also, 9 ― 𝑥2 = 0⇒𝑥 =± 3
Hence, the domain of 𝑓(𝑥) is [2, 4] ∩ [ ―3, 3] ― { ―3, 3} = [2, 3)
