Class XII Mathematics (CBSE 2019)
Time: 3 Hrs.
Max. Marks: 100
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:
- All questions are compulsory.
- This question paper contains 29 questions divided into four sections A, B, C and D. Section A comprises of 4 questions of one mark each, Section B comprises of 8 questions of two marks each, Section C comprises of 11 questions of four marks each and Section D comprises of 6 questions of six marks each.
- All questions in Section A are to be answered in one word, one sentence or as per the exact requirement of the question.
- There is no overall choice. However, an internal choice has been provided in 1 question of Section A, 3 questions of Section B, 3 questions of Section C and 3 questions of Section D. You have to attempt only one of the alternatives in all such questions.
- Use of calculator is not permitted. You may ask logarithmic tables, if required.
Section-A
- Find the order and the degree of the differential equation <math>x^2 \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = \left\{1 + \left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^2\right\}^4</math>.
- If <math>f(x) = x + 7</math> and <math>g(x) = x - 7</math>, <math>x \in R</math>, then find <math>\frac{d}{dx}(f \circ g)(x)</math>.
- Find the value of x - y, if
<math display="block">2\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 3 \\ 0 & x \end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix} y & 0 \\ 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 5 & 6 \\ 1 & 8 \end{bmatrix}.</math> [1]
- If a line makes angles 90°, 135°, 45° with the x, y and z axes respectively, find its direction cosines. [1]
Find the vector equation of the line which passes through the point (3, 4, 5) and is parallel to the vector <math>2\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - 3\hat{k}</math>. OR
Section-B
- Examine whether the operation * defined on R by a * b = ab + 1 is (i) a binary or not. (ii) if a binary operation, is it associative or not? [2]
- If <math>A = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 0 & 1 \\ 2 & 1 & 3 \\ 1 & -1 & 0 \end{bmatrix}</math>, then find <math>(A^2 - 5A)</math>.
7. Find: <math>\int \sqrt{1-\sin 2x} dx</math>, <math>\frac{\pi}{4} < x < \frac{\pi}{2}</math>
[2] OR Find: <math>\int \sin^{-1}(2x) dx</math>.
- Form the differential equation representing the family of curves <math>y = e^{2x}</math> (a + bx), where 'a' and 'b' are arbitrary constants. [2]
- A die is thrown 6 times. If "getting an odd number" is a "success", what is the probability of (i) 5 successes? (ii) atmost 5 successes? [2]
OR The random variable X has a probability distribution P(X) of the following form, where 'k' is some number.
<math display="block">P(X = x) = \begin{cases} k, & \text{if } x = 0 \\ 2k, & \text{if } x = 1 \\ 3k, & \text{if } x = 2 \end{cases}</math> 0, otherwise
Determine the value of 'k'.
- A die marked 1, 2, 3 in red and 4, 5, 6 in green is tossed. Let A be the event "number is even" and B be the event "number is marked red". Find whether the events A and B are independent or not. [2]
- If the sum of two unit vectors is a unit vector, prove that the magnitude of their difference is <math>\sqrt{3}</math>. [2]
OR If <math>\vec{a} = 2\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} + \hat{k}</math>, <math>\vec{b} = \hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + \hat{k}</math> and <math>\vec{c} = -3\hat{i} + \hat{j} + 2\hat{k}</math>, find <math>\vec{a}\vec{b}\vec{c}</math>.
12. Find: <math display="block">\int \frac{\tan^2 x \sec^2 x}{1 - \tan^6 x} dx.</math>
