31. Given, f(x) = x+1. and g(x) = 2x – 3.

So, (f +g)(x) = f(x)+g(x) = (x+1)+(2x – 3) = x+1+2x – 3 = 3x – 2

(f – g)(x) = f(x) –g(x) = (x+1)–(2x–3) = x+1 – 2x+3 = 4 – x

(fg)(x)=f(x)g(x)=x+12x−3 such that x≠32

30. Given, f (x)= { ( x , x 2 1 + x 2 ) : x ∈ R }

We know that, for x ∈ R.

So,  x2≥ 0 ⇒ x 2 x 2 + 1 ≥ 0 x 2 + 1 ⇒ x 2 x 2 + 1 ≥ 0 ⇒ f ( x ) ≥ 0

and x2+1>x2

⇒ 1 > x 2 x 2 + 1

⇒1 > f (x).

So, 0 ≤ f (x) < 1

∴ Range of f (x) = [0,1).

A binary operation * on {a, b} is a function from {a, b} × {a, b} → {a, b}

i.e., * is a function from { (a, a), (a, b), (b, a), (b, b)} → {a, b}.

Hence, the total number of binary operations on the set {a, b} is 24 i.e., 16.

The correct answer is B.

It is given that,

f:R→R is defined as f(x)={1x>00x=0−1x<0

Also, g:R→R is defined as g(x)=[x] , where [x] is the greatest integer less than or equal to x.

Now, let x∈(0,1)

Then, we have:

[x]=1 if x=1 and [x]=0 if 0<x<1

∴fog(x)=f(g(x))=f([x])={f(1)if,x=1f(0)if,x∈(0,1)={(1,"if,x=1"),(0,:if,x∈(0,1)"):}gof(x)=g(f(x))=g(1)[x>0]=[1]=1

Thus, when x∈(0,1) , we have fog(x)=0and,gof(x)=1.

Hence, fog and gof do not coincide in (0, 1).

It is clear that 1 is reflexive and symmetric but not transitive.

Therefore, option (A) is correct.

It is given that A = {–1, 0, 1, 2}, B = {–4, –2, 0, 2}

Also, it is given that f,g:A→B are defined by f(x)=x2−x,x∈A and g(x)=2x−12−1,x∈A .

It is observed that:

f(−1)=(12)−(−1)=1+1=2g(−1)=2(−1)−12−1=2(32)−1=3−1=2⇒f(−1)=g(−1)f(0)=(0)∧2−0=0g(0)=2(0)−12−1=2(12)−1=1−1=0⇒f(0)=g(0)f(1)=(1)∧2−1=1−1=0g(1)=2a−12−1=2(12)−1=1−1=0⇒f(1)=g(1)f(2)=(2)∧2−2=4−2=2g(2)=2(2)−12−1=2(32)−1=3−1=2⇒f(2)=g(2)∴f(a)=g(a)∀a∈A

Hence, the functions f and g are equal.

29. Given, f(x)=|x – 1|.

The given function is defined for all real number x.

Hence, domain of f(x)=R.

As f(x)=|x – 1|, x ∈ R is a non-negative no.

Range of f(x)=[0, ?), if positive real numbers.

Let X={0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}.

The operation* on X is defined as:

a*b={a+bif,a+b<6a+b−6if,a+b≥6

An element e∈X is the identity element for the operation*, if a*e=a=e*a∀a∈X

For a∈X we observed that

a*0=a+0=a[a∈X⇒a+0<6]0*a=0+a=a[a∈X⇒0+a<6]∴a*0=0*a∀a∈X

Thus, 0 is the identity element for the given operation*.

An element a∈X is invertible if there exists b∈X such that a*0=0*a.

ie{a+b=0=b+aif,a+b<6a+6−6=0=b+a−6if,a+b≥6

It is given that ∗: P (X) × P (X) → P (X) be defined as

 A * B = (A – B) ∪ (B – A), A, B ∈ P (X).

Now, let A? P (X). Then, we get,

A *? = (A –? ) ∪ (? –A) = A∪? = A

? * A = (? - A) ∪ (A -? ) =? ∪A = A

A *? = A =? * A,     A? P (X)

Therefore? is the identity element for the given operation
