Hints & Solutions

Q1 Text Solution: Q5 Text Solution:
f(x) = 2 − |x − 5| Domain of f(x) is [−1, 2] means
Since f(x) is defined for every x ∈ R − 1 ≤ x ≤ 2,
∴ Domain is R also |x − 5| ≥ 0 g(x) = 1 − f(x + 1)
i.e − |x − 5| ≤ 0 So domain of g(x) will be
i.e 2 − |x − 5| ≤ 2 defined by f(x + 1),
Now domain of f(x + 1) will be
∴ f(x) ≤ 2
− 1 ≤ x + 1 ≤ 2 → −2 ≤ x ≤ 1
i.e Range for f(x) is (−∞, 2] Domain of g(x) : [−2, 1]
Hence,option (B) is correct.
Range: g(x) will be maximum when
Q2 Text Solution: f(x + 1) is minimum as it is negative.
Domain = {x + 1, x ∈ {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}} Similarly g(x) will be minimum
= {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}; when f(x + 1) is maximum.
Range = {x + 5, x ∈ {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}} ∴ Min is g(x) = 1 − (1) = 0
= {5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10} Max is g(x) = 1 − (0) = 1
Hence,option (C) is correct ∴ Range: [0, 1]
Hence,Option (A) is correct.
Q3 Text Solution:
4−x Q6 Text Solution:
f(x) =
We have ∣∣x∣∣ < 71 ⇒ −71 < x < 71
x−4
4−x
Domain :- for f(x) =
Hence [ −71 ] < f(x) < [ 715 ]
x−4
x − 4 ≠ 0 i.e x ≠ 4 5

∴ Domain is R − {4} ⇒ [−14. 2] < f(x) < [14. 2]

Range:- ⇒ −15 ≤ f(x) ≤ 14
−(x−4)
Since f(x) = x−4
= −1 Also output of f(x) will be an integer
Hence,option (C) is correct.
∴ Range is {−1}
Q7 Text Solution:
Hence,Option (C) is correct
for all x ∈ Z; f(x) = 0
Q4 Text Solution: if x is an integer then x = [x] + (0, 1)
−−−−
f(x) = √x − 1 ∴ f(x)[2[x] + 2(0, 1)] − 2[x]
Since x − 1 ≥ 0 = [2(0, 1)] = [(0, 2)]
i.e x ≥ 1 which can take values 0, 1
∴ Domain of f(x) is [1, ∞) ∴ range of f is {0, 1}
and for x ∈ [1, ∞) Hence ,Option (B) is correct.
f(x) ≥ 0 Q8 Text Solution:
⇒ Range of f(x) is [0, ∞) Since f(x) = x − [x], we have
Hence ,Option (C) is correct.

f[g(x)] = g(x) − [g(x)]

Also since g(x) = [x], we have
g(x) − [g(x)] = [x] − [[x]].
g(x) − [g(x)] = [x] − [[x]] .
here [x] is greatest integer not
exceeding x
therefore ,[[x]]= [x] and hence,
[x] − [[x]] = [x] − [x] = 0
Hence,Option (C) is correct.

Q9 Text Solution:
g(f(x)) ≤ f(g(x)) ⇒ g(|x|) ≤ f([x])
⇒ [|x|] ≤ [|x|]
This is true for each x ∈ R
Hence,option (B) is correct.

Q10 Text Solution:

f(x) = 3[x] + 1, g(x) = 4[x − 1] − 10
f(x) = g(x)
⇒ 3[x] + 1 = 4[x − 1] − 10
⇒ 3[x] + 1 = 4[x] − 14
(∵ [x + I] = [x] + I, ∀I ∈ Z)
⇒ 15 = [x]
⇒ x ∈ [15, 16)
Hence,option (D) is correct
