Q37. Seema wants a mobile number having 10 digits. It is not just a group of numbers strung out at random. All mobile numbers have 3 things in common. a 2-digit access code (AC), a 3-digit provider code (PC), and a 5-digit subscriber code (SC). AC code and PC code are fixed, then:
(i) How many mobile numbers are possible if the number starts with 98173 and other digits can repeat? (1)
(ii) How many AC codes are possible if both digits in the AC code are different and must be greater than 5? (1)
(iii) How many mobile numbers ending with 5 are possible with AC code 97 and digits once used will not be used again? (2)
Q38. In a school at Chandigarh, students of class XI were discussing the relations and functions. Three students, Ankita, Babita and Kavita, form three sets: A={1,2,3,4,5}, B={2,4,6} and K={5,7}.
Based on the above information, answer the following:
(i) Find n(AxB) and n(KxB)
(ii) A correspondence of elements from A to B given as {(1,2),(2,2),(3,4),(3,6), (4,4), (5,6)}. Is it a function? Justify.
iii) If the function f: BA is such that (b,a) ∈ f and b < a, defined by f={(2,5),(x,4),(4,y),(2,3)}, then find x and y.
