Real Number System Question 1:
Let L be an equivalence relation on a set S of n elements. Consider the set \( S_a = {x : x ≠ a \quad and \quad a L x} \) . Further, let D ⊆ S be such that no two elements in D are related under L. The number of elements in \( ∪_{a∈D} S_a \) is at most
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Real Number System Question 1 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
1. L partitions S into equivalence classes.
Let the equivalence classes be \( C_1, C_2, \dots, C_k \) , where k is the number of equivalence classes.
2. Each a ∈ D belongs to a distinct equivalence class since no two elements in D are related under L .
Maximum Elements in \(\bigcup_{a ∈ D} S_a \) :
1. Suppose D = S
Since D contains all n elements, and we take the union of all \(S_a \),
we include all pairs (a, x) such that a ≠ x and a L x .
2. For an equivalence relation on S ,
the total number of pairs (a, x) such that a ≠ x is equal to the number of ways to pick ordered pairs in S ,
excluding the cases where a = x
This gives: Total pairs = n(n - 1).
3. Since each pair (a, x) is counted twice (once as (a, x) and once as (x, a) ),
the maximum number of distinct elements in the union is = \(\frac{n(n - 1)}{2} \)
Hence Option(2) is the correct answer.

Real Number System Question 3:
Let F = {ω ∈ ℂ : ω2020 = 1}. Consider the groups
\(G=\left\{\left(\begin{array}{ll} \omega & z \\ 0 & 1 \end{array}\right): \omega \in F, z \in \mathbb{C}\right\}\)
and \(H=\left\{\left(\begin{array}{ll} 1 & z \\ 0 & 1 \end{array}\right): z \in \mathbb{C}\right\}\)
under matrix multiplication. Then the number of cosets of H in G is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Real Number System Question 3 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
The number of cosets of H in G is the index of H in G , denoted [G : H]
This is given by:\( [G : H] = \frac{|G|}{|H|} \),
if G and H are finite
Every element of H is of the form:
\(\begin{bmatrix} 1 & z \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}, \quad z \in \mathbb{C} \)
Here, z can be any complex number, so H is infinite, as \(\mathbb{C} \) is uncountable
Each element of G is of the form:
\(\begin{bmatrix} \omega & z \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}, \quad \omega \in F, \, z \in \mathbb{C} \)
Since F has exactly 2020 elements and z can take any value in \(\mathbb{C} \) , G is also infinite
The cosets of H in G are determined by the different values of \(\omega \) in F
For each \(\omega \in \) F , the matrix
\(\begin{bmatrix} \omega & z \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \) represents a unique left coset of H
Since \(\omega \) takes exactly 2020 distinct values in F , there are exactly 2020 cosets of H in G
The number of cosets of H in G is 2020.
Hence, Option(3) is the correct answer.
Real Number System Question 4:
Consider the set A = {a ∈ R : x2 = a(a + 1)(a + 2) has a real root }. The number of connected components of A is _______.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below) 2
Real Number System Question 4 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
A = {a ∈ R : x2 = a(a + 1)(a + 2) has a real root
Since x2 ≥ 0
a(a + 1)(a + 2) ≥ 0
a = 0 , a = -1 , a = -2
a ∈ [-2 , -1] ∪ [ 0, ∞)
⇒The number of connected components of A is 2
Hence 2 is the correct answer.
Real Number System Question 5:
Let S1 = {z ∈ ℂ : |z| = 1} be the circle group under multiplication and i = \(\sqrt{-1}\). Then the set {θ ∈ ℝ : 〈ei2πθ〉 is infinite} is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Real Number System Question 5 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
\(\Theta = \{\theta \in \mathbb{R} \) : \(e^{i 2 \pi \theta} \) is infinite } ,
where \(S^1 = \{z \in \mathbb{C} : |z| = 1\} \) is the circle group under multiplication, and \(i = \sqrt{-1} \)
Understanding \(S^1 \) :
The set \(S^1 \) consists of all complex numbers of the form:
\(z = e^{i \phi} \) , \( \phi \in \mathbb{R} \)
This describes the unit circle in the complex plane, where each z has modulus 1
Meaning of \(e^{i 2 \pi \theta} \) :
The exponential form \( e^{i 2 \pi \theta} \) maps \(\theta \) in \(\mathbb{R} \) to a point on the unit circle
For any integer n , \(e^{i 2 \pi (\theta + n)} = e^{i 2 \pi \theta} \) , implying that the mapping is periodic with period 1
The set \(\Theta \) collects all real numbers \(\theta \) such that \(e^{i 2 \pi \theta} \) is well-defined
Since \(e^{i 2 \pi \theta} \) is a complex number of modulus 1 for all \(\theta \in \mathbb{R} \) ,
it is well-defined for every real number
The set \(\Theta \) is the entire real line \(\mathbb{R} \)
The real numbers are uncountable
Hence Option(4) is the Correct Answer.

Real Number System Question 6:
Let x be a real number. Which of the following statements are true?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Real Number System Question 6 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
x is a real number
(1): n2 sin\(\frac{1}{n}\) → ∞ as n → ∞
So, there exists an integer n ≥ 1 such that n2 sin\(\frac{1}{n}\) ≥ x.
(1) is correct
(2): n2 cos\(\frac{1}{n}\) → ∞ as n → ∞
So, there exists an integer n ≥ 1 such that n2 cos\(\frac{1}{n}\) ≥ x.
(2) is correct
(3): ne-n → 0 as n → ∞
So, For large n, ne-n will not be greater than x
For, n = 1000, ne-n is not greater than x
(3) is false
(4): n(log n)-1 = n/(log n) → → ∞ as n → ∞
Hence there exists an integer n ≥ 2 such that n(log n)-1 ≥ x.
(4) is correct
Real Number System Question 7:
Let F = {ω ∈ ℂ : ω2020 = 1}. Consider the groups
\(G=\left\{\left(\begin{array}{ll} \omega & z \\ 0 & 1 \end{array}\right): \omega \in F, z \in \mathbb{C}\right\}\)
and \(H=\left\{\left(\begin{array}{ll} 1 & z \\ 0 & 1 \end{array}\right): z \in \mathbb{C}\right\}\)
under matrix multiplication. Then the number of cosets of H in G is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Real Number System Question 7 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
The number of cosets of H in G is the index of H in G , denoted [G : H]
This is given by:\( [G : H] = \frac{|G|}{|H|} \),
if G and H are finite
Every element of H is of the form:
\(\begin{bmatrix} 1 & z \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}, \quad z \in \mathbb{C} \)
Here, z can be any complex number, so H is infinite, as \(\mathbb{C} \) is uncountable
Each element of G is of the form:
\(\begin{bmatrix} \omega & z \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}, \quad \omega \in F, \, z \in \mathbb{C} \)
Since F has exactly 2020 elements and z can take any value in \(\mathbb{C} \) , G is also infinite
The cosets of H in G are determined by the different values of \(\omega \) in F
For each \(\omega \in \) F , the matrix
\(\begin{bmatrix} \omega & z \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \) represents a unique left coset of H
Since \(\omega \) takes exactly 2020 distinct values in F , there are exactly 2020 cosets of H in G
The number of cosets of H in G is 2020.
Hence, Option(3) is the correct answer.

Let \(\mathbb{N}\) = {1, 2, 3, ...} be the set of natural numbers. Which of the following functions from \(\mathbb{N}\) × \(\mathbb{N}\) to \(\mathbb{N}\) are injective?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Real Number System Question 8 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
Option (2)
f2(1, 2) = 1.2 + 1 + 2 = 5
f2(2, 1) = 2.1 + 2 + 1 = 5
then f2(1, 2) = f2(2, 1) ⇒ f2(m, n) is not injective.
option (2) - False.
Option (3)
f3(8, 1) = 82 + 13 = 65 = f3(1, 4) = 12 + 43
⇒ f3(8, 1) ± f3(1, 4) ⇒ f3(m, n) is not injective.
option (3) - False.
Option (4)
f4(1, 4) = 12 ⋅ 43 = 64
f4(8, 1) = 82 ⋅ 13 = 64
⇒ f4(1, 4) = f4(8, 1) ⇒ f4(m, n) is not infective.
option (4) - False.
Option (1)
f1(m, n) = 2m 3n
Let f1(m1, n1) = f1(m2, n2)
⇒ 2m1 × 3n1 = 2m2 × 3n2
⇒ m1 = m2 and n1 = n2
⇒ (m1, n1) = (m2, n2)
So, f1(m, n) = 2m 3n is injective.
Option (1) - True.
Real Number System Question 9:
Let S1 = {z ∈ ℂ : |z| = 1} be the circle group under multiplication and i = \(\sqrt{-1}\). Then the set {θ ∈ ℝ : 〈ei2πθ〉 is infinite} is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Real Number System Question 9 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
\(\Theta = \{\theta \in \mathbb{R} \) : \(e^{i 2 \pi \theta} \) is infinite } ,
where \(S^1 = \{z \in \mathbb{C} : |z| = 1\} \) is the circle group under multiplication, and \(i = \sqrt{-1} \)
Understanding \(S^1 \) :
The set \(S^1 \) consists of all complex numbers of the form:
\(z = e^{i \phi} \) , \( \phi \in \mathbb{R} \)
This describes the unit circle in the complex plane, where each z has modulus 1
Meaning of \(e^{i 2 \pi \theta} \) :
The exponential form \( e^{i 2 \pi \theta} \) maps \(\theta \) in \(\mathbb{R} \) to a point on the unit circle
For any integer n , \(e^{i 2 \pi (\theta + n)} = e^{i 2 \pi \theta} \) , implying that the mapping is periodic with period 1
The set \(\Theta \) collects all real numbers \(\theta \) such that \(e^{i 2 \pi \theta} \) is well-defined
Since \(e^{i 2 \pi \theta} \) is a complex number of modulus 1 for all \(\theta \in \mathbb{R} \) ,
it is well-defined for every real number
The set \(\Theta \) is the entire real line \(\mathbb{R} \)
The real numbers are uncountable
Hence Option(4) is the Correct Answer.
Real Number System Question 10:
If x and y are any two real numbers, x > 0 there exists a positive integer n, then Archimedean property is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Real Number System Question 10 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
The Archimedean property states that for any two real numbers x > 0 and y,
there exists a positive integer n such that nx > y
This means that for any positive real number x, you can always find an integer
n that, when multiplied by x, will exceed any given number y.
The correct option is option 2.
Real Number System Question 11:
It is given that
\(\left.\begin{array}{rl} (a)^* & =a \text { if } a>0 \\ & =0 \text { if } a \leq 0 \end{array}\right\}\) for any real number a Suppose for two real numbers x and y. (xy)* = (x)* (y)*. Then which of the following is necessarily true?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Real Number System Question 11 Detailed Solution
Solution:
Given:
The notation (a)* is defined as :
\(\left.\begin{array}{rl} (a)^* & =a \text { if } a>0 \\ & =0 \text { if } a \leq 0 \end{array}\right\}\)
We are asked to find the necessary condition for two real numbers x and y such that (xy)* = (x)* (y)*.
Step 1: Analyzing (xy)*
According to the definition, (xy)* will be:
- xy if xy > 0
- 0 if xy ≤ 0
Step 2: Analyzing (x)* (y)*
(x)* and (y)* will depend on the values of x and y:
- (x)* = x if x > 0, otherwise (x)* = 0
- (y)* = y if y > 0, otherwise (y)* = 0
Therefore:
- If both x > 0 and y > 0, then (x)* (y)* = xy.
- If either x ≤ 0 or y ≤ 0, then (x)* (y)* = 0.
Step 3: Condition for (xy)* = (x)* (y)*
For the equality (xy)* = (x)* (y)* to hold:
- Case 1: If x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0:
- When x > 0 and y > 0, (xy)* = xy and (x)* (y)* = xy, so the equality holds.
- When x = 0 or y = 0, (xy)* = 0 and (x)* (y)* = 0, so the equality holds.
- Case 2: If x ≥ 0 or y ≥ 0 (one of them is non-negative):
- When one of x or y is zero or positive, (xy)* will equal (x)* (y)* due to the nature of the zero multiplication rule, which also satisfies the condition.
The correct answer is 4)
Real Number System Question 12:
For n ∈ ℕ, which of the following is true?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Real Number System Question 12 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
We have \(√{n+1}-√{n} \)
Let's use the conjugate:
= \(\frac{(√{n+1}-√{n})(√{n+1}+√{n}) }{(√{n+1}+√{n})}\)
\(=\frac{n+1-n}{(√{n+1}+√{n})}\)
\(=\frac{1}{(√{n+1}+√{n})} \le \frac{1}{2√{n}} \le \frac{1}{√{n}} \ \ \forall n\)
Hence Option (2) is correct.
Real Number System Question 13:
Given |x|, |y| ≤ 2 where x, y are real and |x| ≠ lyl, we state
A. \(\left|x^2-y^2\right| \geq 1\) if and only if \(|x+y||x-y| \geq 1\),
B. \(|x+y||x-y| \geq 1\) if and only if \(|x-y| \geq \frac{1}{|x+y|}\)
C. \(|x-y| \geq \frac{1}{|x+y|}\) if and only If \(|x-y| \geq \frac{1}{|x|+|y|}\)
D. \(|x-y| \geq \frac{1}{|x|+|y|}\) if and only if \(|x-y| \geq \frac{1}{4}\)
Then choose the correct option
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Real Number System Question 13 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
Given |x|, |y| ≤ 2 where x, y are real and |x| ≠ lyl,
now taking \(x=\frac{4}{5}\) and \(y=\frac{-3}{5}\)
now \(|x-y|=|\frac{4}{5}-(\frac{-3}{5})|=\frac{7}{5}\)
and \(\frac{1}{|x|+|y|}\)= \(\frac{1}{|\frac{4}{5}|+|\frac{-3}{5}|}=\frac{5}{7}\)
and \( \frac{1}{|x+y|}\) \(= \frac{1}{|\frac{4}{5}+\frac{-3}{5}|}=5\) so by here statement C and D are false
and as \(|ab|=|a|\times|b| \) so
\(\left|x^2-y^2\right| \geq 1\) ⇔ \(|(x+y)(x-y)| \geq 1\) ⇔ \(|x+y||x-y| \geq 1\)
option A is true
and as \(|a| \neq |b|\implies|a+b|>0\) so
\(|x+y||x-y| \geq 1\) ⇔ \(|x-y| \geq \frac{1}{|x+y|}\)
option B is also true
Therefore correct answer is option: 3
Real Number System Question 14:
Let L be an equivalence relation on a set S of n elements. Consider the set \( S_a = {x : x ≠ a \quad and \quad a L x} \) . Further, let D ⊆ S be such that no two elements in D are related under L. The number of elements in \( ∪_{a∈D} S_a \) is at most
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Real Number System Question 14 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
1. L partitions S into equivalence classes.
Let the equivalence classes be \( C_1, C_2, \dots, C_k \) , where k is the number of equivalence classes.
2. Each a ∈ D belongs to a distinct equivalence class since no two elements in D are related under L .
Maximum Elements in \(\bigcup_{a ∈ D} S_a \) :
1. Suppose D = S
Since D contains all n elements, and we take the union of all \(S_a \),
we include all pairs (a, x) such that a ≠ x and a L x .
2. For an equivalence relation on S ,
the total number of pairs (a, x) such that a ≠ x is equal to the number of ways to pick ordered pairs in S ,
excluding the cases where a = x
This gives: Total pairs = n(n - 1).
3. Since each pair (a, x) is counted twice (once as (a, x) and once as (x, a) ),
the maximum number of distinct elements in the union is = \(\frac{n(n - 1)}{2} \)
Hence Option(2) is the correct answer.
