CBSE Previous Year Question Papers Class 12 Maths 2011 Delhi Set I

Section – A

Question 1.
State the reason for the relation R in the set {1, 2, 3} given by R = {(1, 2), (2, 1)} not to be transitive. [1]
Solution:
In the case of transitive relation
If (a, b) and (b, c) ϵ R
⇒ (a, c) ϵ R
Here, (1, 2) and (2, 1) ϵ R but (1, 1) ∉R.
So, R is not transitive.

Question 2.
Write the value of sin\(\left(\frac{\pi}{3}-\sin ^{-1}\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)\right)\). [1]
