Given f (x) = ax^2 + bx + c.
f (-1) = a - b + c = 2
f' (x) = 2ax + b, so f' (-1) = -2a + b = 1
f' (x) = 2a, so f' (-1) = 2a = 1/2
From 2a = 1/2, we get a = 1/4.
Substituting a into -2a + b = 1: -2 (1/4) + b = 1 => -1/2 + b = 1 => b = 3/2.
Substituting a and b into a - b + c = 2: 1/4 - 3/2 + c = 2 => -5/4 + c = 2 => c = 13/4.
So, f (x) = (1/4)x^2 + (3/2)x + 13/4 = (1/4) (x^2 + 6x + 13).
We need to find f (1):
f (1) = (1/4) (1^2 + 6 (1) + 13) = (1/4) (1 + 6 + 13) = (1/4) (20) = 5.

PES University conducts PESSAT for admission into BBA programme. The minimum eligibility for the programme is passing Class 12 with atleast 50% of aggregate marks. Scoring 60% in Class 12 makes the candidate eligible for admission into BBA. However, the candidate must qualify PESSAT and the subsequent personal interview round to get a confirmed seat in the course at the university.

Given vectors a? and b? such that |a? | = |b? | and a? ⋅ b? = 0 (they are orthogonal).
The problem implies |a? |=|b? |=1.
Let c? = a? + b? + a? x b?
To find the magnitude of c? , we calculate |c? |²:
|c? |² = c? ⋅ c? = (a? + b? + a? x b? ) ⋅ (a? + b? + a? x b? ).
This expands to |a? |² + |b? |² + |a? x b? |² because all other dot products are zero (e.g., a? ⋅ b? = 0, a? ⋅ (a? x b? ) = 0).
|a? x b? |² = (|a? |b? |sin (90°)² = |a? |²|b? |².
So, |c? |² = |a? |² + |b? |² + |a? |²|b? |² = 1² + 1² + 1²*1² = 3.
∴ |c? | = √3.
To find the angle θ between c? and a? , we compute their dot product:
c? ⋅ a? = (a? + b? + a

Given functions f (x) = (x-2)/ (x-3) and g (x) = 2x-3.
First, find the inverse functions f? ¹ (x) and g? ¹ (x).
For f? ¹ (x): y = (x-2)/ (x-3) ⇒ y (x-3) = x-2 ⇒ xy - 3y = x-2 ⇒ xy-x = 3y-2 ⇒ x (y-1) = 3y-2 ⇒ x = (3y-2)/ (y-1). So, f? ¹ (y) = (3y-2)/ (y-1).
For g? ¹ (x): y = 2x-3 ⇒ y+3 = 2x ⇒ x = (y+3)/2. So, g? ¹ (y) = (y+3)/2.
We are given f? ¹ (x) + g? ¹ (x) = 13/2.
(3x-2)/ (x-1) + (x+3)/2 = 13/2.
Multiply by 2 (x-1): 2 (3x-2) + (x+3) (x-1) = 13 (x-1).
6x - 4 + x² + 2x - 3 = 13x - 13.
x² + 8x - 7 = 13x - 13.
x² - 5x + 6 = 0.
(x-2) (x-3) = 0.
The possible values of x are 2 and 3. Note that x=3 is not in the domain of t

A relation R is defined as ARB if PAP? ¹ = B for a non-singular matrix P.
· Reflexive: ARA requires PAP? ¹ = A. This holds if P is the identity matrix I, as IAI? ¹ = A. Assuming P can be I, the relation is reflexive.
· Symmetric: We need to show that if ARB, then BRA.
ARB ⇒ PAP? ¹ = B.
To get the reverse, we need to express A in terms of B.
From PAP? ¹ = B, pre-multiply by P? ¹ and post-multiply by P:
P? ¹ (PAP? ¹)P = P? ¹BP ⇒ A = P? ¹BP. This shows BRA where the matrix is P? ¹. Thus, the relation is symmetric.
