एकात्मक फलनको परिभाषा लेख्नुहोस् ।
Write the definition of identity function.
1 mark
Model Answer

A function f: A → A is called an identity function if every element maps to itself.

Definition: f(x) = x for all x ∈ A

The domain and codomain are the same set, and every element is its own image.

एकात्मक फलनमा प्रत्येक तत्वको प्रतिबिम्ब आफैँ हुन्छ। f(x) = x

यदि a र b दुई धनात्मक सङ्ख्याहरू भए तिनीहरूको समान्तरीय मध्यमा (AM) र गुणोत्तर मध्यमा (GM) बिचको सम्बन्ध लेख्नुहोस् ।
If a and b are two positive numbers, write the relation between their arithmetic mean (AM) and geometric mean (GM).
1 mark
Model Answer

AM = (a + b)/2     GM = √(ab)

AM ≥ GM   i.e.   (a+b)/2 ≥ √(ab)

Equality holds when a = b.

समान्तरीय मध्यमा सधैँ गुणोत्तर मध्यमा भन्दा ठूलो वा बराबर हुन्छ।

फलन f(x) बिन्दु x = a मा निरन्तर हुने अवस्था लेख्नुहोस् ।
Write the condition of the continuity of the function f(x) at the point x = a.
1 mark
Model Answer

f(x) is continuous at x = a if and only if all three conditions hold:

1. f(a) is defined
2. limx→a f(x) exists  (LHL = RHL)
3. limx→a f(x) = f(a)

बायाँ सीमा = दायाँ सीमा = फलनको मान — यी तीनै समान भए मात्र निरन्तर।

What is the inverse matrix of matrix I = [[1,0],[0,1]]? Write it.
1 mark
Model Answer

The given matrix is the Identity Matrix I.

det(I) = (1)(1) − (0)(0) = 1 ≠ 0 → Inverse exists

For Identity Matrix: I⁻¹ = I

I⁻¹ = [[1, 0], [0, 1]]

एकात्मक मेट्रिक्सको विपरीत मेट्रिक्स आफैँ हुन्छ।

समीकरण ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0 ले जनाउने जोडा रेखाहरू कुन अवस्थामा सम्पाती हुन्छन् ? लेख्नुहोस् ।
Under what condition the pair of straight lines represented by equation ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0 are coincident? Write it.
1 mark
Model Answer

The pair of lines ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0 are coincident when the discriminant of the quadratic is zero:

h² − ab = 0   i.e.   h² = ab

सम्पाती रेखाका लागि: h² = ab (विभेदक = 0)

6
कुन अवस्थामा एउटा सोलीलाई समतलीय सतहले प्रतिच्छेदन गर्दा वृत्त बन्छ, लेख्नुहोस् ।
In which condition a circle is formed when a plane surface intersects a cone? Write it.
1 mark
Model Answer

A circle is formed when the cutting plane is:

Perpendicular to the axis of the cone (plane ⊥ axis)

i.e., the plane makes an angle of 90° with the axis of the cone.

जब समतल र सोलीको अक्ष लम्ब हुन्छ, वृत्त बन्छ।

7
sinA लाई tan(A/2) को रूपमा व्यक्त गर्नुहोस् ।
Express sinA in terms of tan(A/2).
1 mark
Model Answer

Let t = tan(A/2)

Using half-angle identities:

sin A = 2sin(A/2)cos(A/2) = 2·[tan(A/2)·cos²(A/2)]
= 2t/(1 + t²)

sin A = 2tan(A/2) / [1 + tan²(A/2)]

8
Cos(A−B) − Cos(A+B) लाई गुणनफलको रूपमा व्यक्त गर्नुहोस् ।
Express Cos(A−B) − Cos(A+B) as a product.
1 mark
Model Answer

Using sum-to-product formula:

cos(A−B) = cosAcosB + sinAsinB
cos(A+B) = cosAcosB − sinAsinB

cos(A−B) − cos(A+B) = (cosAcosB + sinAsinB) − (cosAcosB − sinAsinB)

cos(A−B) − cos(A+B) = 2 sinA sinB

9
भेक्टरहरू a⃗b⃗ बिचको कोण θ पत्ता लगाउने सूत्र लेख्नुहोस् ।
Write the formula to find the angle θ between the vectors a⃗ and b⃗.
1 mark
Model Answer

cos θ = (a⃗ · b⃗) / (|a⃗| |b⃗|)

Or equivalently: θ = cos⁻¹ [(a⃗ · b⃗) / (|a⃗| |b⃗|)]

where a⃗ · b⃗ = a₁b₁ + a₂b₂ (dot product)

10
विपरीत स्थानान्तरणमा यदि बिन्दु P उत्क्रम वृत्तको केन्द्रबिन्दुमा पर्छ भने P को प्रतिबिम्ब P' कहाँ पर्दछ, लेख्नुहोस् ।
In an inversion transformation, if a point P lies at the centre of inversion circle then where does its image P' lie? Write it.
1 mark
Model Answer

In inversion with centre O and radius r: OP · OP' = r²

If P = O (centre), then OP = 0, so OP' → ∞

P' lies at infinity (अनन्तमा)

उत्क्रम केन्द्रको प्रतिबिम्ब अनन्तमा हुन्छ।

Find the separate equation of the pair of lines represented by the equation 6x² + 5xy − 6y² − 3x + 2y = 0.
2 marks
Model Answer

Factorise: 6x² + 5xy − 6y² − 3x + 2y = 0

Treat as quadratic in x:
6x² + x(5y − 3) + (−6y² + 2y) = 0
6x² + x(5y − 3) − 2y(3y − 1) = 0

Factor: (2x + 3y − 1)(3x − 2y) = 0
Check: (2x)(3x) = 6x², (2x)(−2y) + (3y)(3x) = −4xy + 9xy = 5xy,
(3y)(−2y) = −6y², (−1)(3x) = −3x, (−1)(−2y) = 2y ✓

2x + 3y − 1 = 0   and   3x − 2y = 0

क्याल्कुलेटर र त्रिकोणमितीय तालिका प्रयोग नगरी प्रमाणित गर्नुहोस् : sin75°·cos15° = (2+√3)/4
Without using calculator and trigonometric table prove that: sin75°·cos15° = (2+√3)/4
2 marks
Model Answer
Note: cos15° = sin75° (complementary angles)
So: sin75°·cos15° = sin75°·sin75° = sin²75°

sin75° = sin(45°+30°) = sin45°cos30° + cos45°sin30°
= (1/√2)(√3/2) + (1/√2)(1/2)
= (√3 + 1)/(2√2)

sin²75° = (√3+1)²/8 = (3 + 2√3 + 1)/8 = (4 + 2√3)/8 = (2+√3)/4

∴ sin75°·cos15° = (2+√3)/4   ✓ Proved

यदि f(x) = (2x+5)/3 र g(x) = (x+5)/2 मा g∘g(x) = f⁻¹(x) भए x को मान पत्ता लगाउनुहोस् ।
If f(x) = (2x+5)/3 and g(x) = (x+5)/2 such that g∘g(x) = f⁻¹(x), find the value of x.
3 marks
Model Answer

Find f⁻¹(x):

y = (2x+5)/3 → 3y = 2x+5 → x = (3y−5)/2
∴ f⁻¹(x) = (3x−5)/2

Find g∘g(x):

g(x) = (x+5)/2
g∘g(x) = g[g(x)] = g[(x+5)/2] = [(x+5)/2 + 5]/2 = (x+5+10)/4 = (x+15)/4

Set g∘g(x) = f⁻¹(x):

(x+15)/4 = (3x−5)/2
x+15 = 2(3x−5)
x+15 = 6x−10
25 = 5x

∴ x = 5

के फलन f(x) बिन्दु x=2 मा निरन्तर छ ? कारण दिनुहोस् ।
Is the function f(x) continuous at x=2? Give reason.
3 marks
Model Answer
LHL = lim(x→2⁻) f(x) = lim(x→2) (x+2) = 2+2 = 4
RHL = lim(x→2⁺) f(x) = lim(x→2) (3x−2) = 6−2 = 4
f(2) = 4 (given directly)

Since LHL = RHL = f(2) = 4:

✓ f(x) IS continuous at x = 2

बायाँ सीमा = दायाँ सीमा = फलनको मान = 4 ∴ निरन्तर छ।

A = [[2,−3],[3,−4]], X = [[x],[y]], B = [[7],[10]]

det(A) = (2)(−4) − (−3)(3) = −8 + 9 = 1

A⁻¹ = (1/1)·[[−4, 3],[−3, 2]] = [[−4, 3],[−3, 2]]

X = A⁻¹·B:
x = (−4)(7) + (3)(10) = −28 + 30 = 2
y = (−3)(7) + (2)(10) = −21 + 20 = −1

x = 2  ,   y = −1

If the co-ordinates of one end of a diameter of the circle x²+y²−2x−10y+1=0 is (1,0), find the co-ordinates of the other end.
3 marks
Model Answer

Standard form x²+y²+2gx+2fy+c=0:

x²+y²−2x−10y+1=0
2g = −2 → g = −1
2f = −10 → f = −5
Centre = (−g, −f) = (1, 5)

Centre is the midpoint of the diameter. One end = (1, 0), centre = (1, 5).

Midpoint formula: centre = [(x₁+x₂)/2, (y₁+y₂)/2]
(1+x₂)/2 = 1 → x₂ = 1
(0+y₂)/2 = 5 → y₂ = 10

Other end of diameter = (1, 10)

प्रमाणित गर्नुहोस् (Prove that): 4sin³θ·cos3θ + 4cos³θ·sin3θ = 3sin4θ
3 marks
Model Answer

Use identities: sin3θ = 3sinθ − 4sin³θ and cos3θ = 4cos³θ − 3cosθ

LHS = 4sin³θ·cos3θ + 4cos³θ·sin3θ
= 4sin³θ(4cos³θ − 3cosθ) + 4cos³θ(3sinθ − 4sin³θ)
= 16sin³θcos³θ − 12sin³θcosθ + 12sinθcos³θ − 16sin³θcos³θ
= 12sinθcosθ(cos²θ − sin²θ)
= 6sin2θ·cos2θ   [since sin2θ=2sinθcosθ, cos2θ=cos²θ−sin²θ]
= 3·(2sin2θcos2θ)
= 3sin4θ = RHS

∴ 4sin³θ·cos3θ + 4cos³θ·sin3θ = 3sin4θ   ✓ Proved

यदि P+Q+R = 180° भए प्रमाणित गर्नुहोस् :
sin(P+Q−R) + sin(Q+R−P) + sin(R+P−Q) = 4sinP·sinQ·sinR
If P+Q+R = 180°, prove that: sin(P+Q−R) + sin(Q+R−P) + sin(R+P−Q) = 4sinP·sinQ·sinR
3 marks
Model Answer

Since P+Q+R=180°, we have P+Q=180°−R, Q+R=180°−P, R+P=180°−Q

sin(P+Q−R) = sin(180°−R−R) = sin(180°−2R) = sin2R
sin(Q+R−P) = sin(180°−P−P) = sin(180°−2P) = sin2P
sin(R+P−Q) = sin(180°−Q−Q) = sin(180°−2Q) = sin2Q

LHS = sin2P + sin2Q + sin2R

Using known identity: sin2P + sin2Q + sin2R = 4sinP·sinQ·sinR (when P+Q+R=180°)

Proof of this identity:
sin2P + sin2Q + sin2R
= 2sin(P+Q)cos(P−Q) + 2sinRcosR
= 2sinRcos(P−Q) + 2sinRcosR   [since sin(P+Q)=sin(180°−R)=sinR]
= 2sinR[cos(P−Q) + cosR]
= 2sinR[cos(P−Q) + cos(P+Q)]   [since R=180°−P−Q → cosR=−cos(P+Q)]
Wait: cosR = cos(180°−P−Q) = −cos(P+Q)
= 2sinR[cos(P−Q) − cos(P+Q)]
= 2sinR·2sinP·sinQ
= 4sinP·sinQ·sinR = RHS

∴ sin(P+Q−R) + sin(Q+R−P) + sin(R+P−Q) = 4sinP·sinQ·sinR   ✓

The angles of depression of the top and bottom of a pole 20 m high observed from the top of a tower are found to be 30° and 60° respectively. Find the height of the tower.
3 marks
Model Answer

Let tower height = H, distance between tower and pole = d, pole height = 20 m.

Angle of depression to bottom of pole = 60°:
tan60° = H/d → √3 = H/d → d = H/√3 ...(i)

Angle of depression to top of pole = 30°:
tan30° = (H−20)/d → 1/√3 = (H−20)/d
d = √3(H−20) ...(ii)

From (i) and (ii):
H/√3 = √3(H−20)
H = 3(H−20)
H = 3H − 60
60 = 2H

∴ Height of tower H = 30 m

The sum of three consecutive numbers of a geometric series is 56. If 1, 7 and 21 be subtracted from the numbers respectively, they form an arithmetic series. Find the numbers.
4 marks
Model Answer

Let the three numbers in GP be: a/r, a, ar

Sum: a/r + a + ar = 56 ...(i)

After subtracting 1,7,21 they form AP:
(a/r − 1), (a − 7), (ar − 21) are in AP
∴ 2(a−7) = (a/r−1) + (ar−21)
2a−14 = a/r + ar − 22
2a + 8 = a/r + ar ...(ii)

From (i): a/r + ar = 56 − a
From (ii): a/r + ar = 2a + 8
So: 56 − a = 2a + 8
48 = 3a → a = 16

Substitute back: a/r + ar = 56 − 16 = 40
16/r + 16r = 40
16 + 16r² = 40r
16r² − 40r + 16 = 0
2r² − 5r + 2 = 0
(2r−1)(r−2) = 0
r = 1/2 or r = 2

When r=2: terms = 8, 16, 32  |  When r=1/2: terms = 32, 16, 8

The three numbers are 8, 16, 32

Check: 8+16+32=56 ✓ ; (8−1),(16−7),(32−21) = 7,9,11 — AP ✓

m₁ = (3−7)/(−1−3) = −4/−4 = 1

Step 3: Since QS ⊥ PR, slope of QS:
m₂ = −1/m₁ = −1/1 = −1

Step 4: Equation of QS through M(1,5) with slope −1:
y − 5 = −1(x − 1)
y − 5 = −x + 1
x + y = 6

Equation of diagonal QS: x + y = 6   or   x + y − 6 = 0

Model Answer

Let MNOP be a rhombus with all sides equal: |MN⃗| = |MN⃗| = |NO⃗| = |OP⃗| = |PM⃗| = a

Let MN⃗ = b⃗ and MP⃗ = d⃗

Diagonal MO⃗ = MN⃗ + NO⃗ = b⃗ + d⃗ (since NO⃗ = MP⃗ = d⃗ in rhombus)
Diagonal NP⃗ = NM⃗ + MP⃗ = −b⃗ + d⃗ = d⃗ − b⃗

Dot product of diagonals:
MO⃗ · NP⃗ = (b⃗ + d⃗)·(d⃗ − b⃗)
= d⃗·d⃗ − b⃗·b⃗
= |d⃗|² − |b⃗|²

Since MNOP is a rhombus: |MN| = |MP| → |b⃗| = |d⃗|
∴ MO⃗ · NP⃗ = |d⃗|² − |d⃗|² = 0

Since MO⃗ · NP⃗ = 0, the diagonals are perpendicular. ✓ Proved

R ले रेखा y = −x मा हुने परावर्तन र S ले उद्गमबिन्दु वरिपरि 180° मा हुने परिक्रमणलाई जनाउँछ भने संयुक्त स्थानान्तरण RoS ले जनाउने एकल स्थानान्तरण पत्ता लगाउनुहोस् । सोही एकल स्थानान्तरण प्रयोग गरी शीर्षविन्दुहरू A(1,2), B(−4,3) र C(3,5) भएको △ABC लाई स्थानान्तरण गर्दा बन्ने प्रतिबिम्बको शीर्षविन्दुहरूका निर्देशाङ्कहरू पत्ता लगाउनुहोस् ।
R denotes the reflection on the line y = −x and S denotes the rotation about origin through 180°. Find the single transformation represented by combined transformation RoS. Using the same single transformation, find the co-ordinates of the vertices of the image of △ABC having vertices A(1,2), B(−4,3) and C(3,5).

Model Answer

Transformation matrices:

Reflection on y = −x: R = [[0, −1],[−1, 0]]
Rotation 180° about origin: S = [[−1, 0],[0, −1]]

Combined RoS = R × S (apply S first, then R):
RoS = [[0,−1],[−1,0]] × [[−1,0],[0,−1]]
= [[(0)(−1)+(−1)(0), (0)(0)+(−1)(−1)],
   [(−1)(−1)+(0)(0), (−1)(0)+(0)(−1)]]
= [[0, 1],[1, 0]]

This is reflection on the line y = x.

Object matrix = [[1, −4, 3],[2, 3, 5]]

Image = [[0,1],[1,0]] × [[1,−4,3],[2,3,5]]
= [[(0)(1)+(1)(2), (0)(−4)+(1)(3), (0)(3)+(1)(5)],
   [(1)(1)+(0)(2), (1)(−4)+(0)(3), (1)(3)+(0)(5)]]
= [[2, 3, 5],[1, −4, 3]]

Single transformation: Reflection on y = x
A'(2, 1)  ,   B'(3, −4)  ,   C'(5, 3)

y=x मा परावर्तनले (x,y) → (y,x) बनाउँछ।
