QJEEM18Ma774a: JEE Main 2018 Mathematics - Class 11 JEEM18Ma774a Solution: Two sets A and B are as under : A = {( , b) R R :
Two sets A and B are as under :
A = {( , b) R R : | - 5| < 1 and |b - 5| < 1};
B = {( , b) R R : 4( - 6)2 + 9(b - 5)2 36 };
Then
A = {( , b) R R : | - 5| < 1 and |b - 5| < 1};
B = {( , b) R R : 4( - 6)2 + 9(b - 5)2 36 };
Then
Multiple Choice Options
- A neither A B nor B A
- B B A
- C A B
- D A B = ( an empty set )
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Given,
Let and
This is a equation of ellipse.
This ellipse will look like this,
According to set A,
\left| {a - 5} \right| < 1
as then
\left| {x + 1} \right| < 1
\Rightarrow \,\,\, - 1 < x + 1 < 1
\Rightarrow \,\,\, - 2 < x < 0
\left| {b - 5} \right| < 1
as
\left| y \right| < 1
\Rightarrow \,\,\,\, - 1 < y < 1
This will look like this,
By combining both those graphs it will look like this,
To check entire set A is inside of B or not put any paint of set A on the equation and if this inequality satisfies, then it is inside B.
By looking at the graph you can surely say (0, 1) or (0, 1) inside the graph. But to check point ( , 1) or ( 2, 1) is inside of the ellipse or not, put on the
Putting ( 2, 1) on the inequality,
LHS
= {{25} \over {36}} < 1
Inequality holds.
So, is inside the ellipse.
Similarly by checking we can see is also inside the ellipse.
Hence, we can say entire set A is inside of the set B.
