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 = {( aa , b) ∈\in R ×\times R : | aa - 5| < 1 and |b - 5| < 1};

B = {( aa , b) ∈\in R ×\times R : 4( aa - 6)2 + 9(b - 5)2 ≤\le 36 };

Then

Multiple Choice Options

  • A neither A ⊂\subset B nor B ⊂\subset A
  • B B ⊂\subset A
  • C A ⊂\subset B
  • D A ∩\cap B = ϕ\phi ( an empty set )

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Given,

4(a−6)2+9(b−5)2≤364{\left( {a - 6} \right)^2} + 9{\left( {b - 5} \right)^2} \le 36

Let a−6=xa - 6 = x and b−5=yb - 5 = y

∴    \therefore\,\,\,\, 4x2+9y2≤364{x^2} + 9{y^2} \le 36

⇒    x29+y24≤1\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,{{{x^2}} \over 9} + {{{y^2}} \over 4} \le 1

This is a equation of ellipse.

This ellipse will look like this,

According to set A,

\left| {a - 5} \right| &lt; 1

as a−6=xa - 6 = x then a−5=x+1a - 5 = x + 1

∴   \therefore\,\,\, \left| {x + 1} \right| &lt; 1

\Rightarrow \,\,\, - 1 &lt; x + 1 &lt; 1

\Rightarrow \,\,\, - 2 &lt; x &lt; 0

\left| {b - 5} \right| &lt; 1

as b−5=yb - 5 = y

∴   \therefore\,\,\, \left| y \right| &lt; 1

\Rightarrow \,\,\,\, - 1 &lt; y &lt; 1

This will look like this,

By combining both those graphs it will look like this,

JEE Main 2018 (Offline) Mathematics - Sets and Relations Question 96 English Explanation 3

To check entire set A is inside of B or not put any paint of set A on the equation x29+y24≤1{{{x^2}} \over 9} + {{{y^2}} \over 4} \le 1 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 ( −2-2 , 1) or ( −- 2, −- 1) is inside of the ellipse or not, put on the x29+y24≤1.{{{x^2}} \over 9} + {{{y^2}} \over 4} \le 1.

Putting ( −- 2, 1) on the inequality,

LHS =(−2)29+124= {{\left( { - 2} \right){}^2} \over 9} + {{{1^2}} \over 4}

=49+14= {4 \over 9} + {1 \over 4}

= {{25} \over {36}} &lt; 1

∴   \therefore\,\,\, Inequality holds.

So, (−2,1)\left( { - 2,1} \right) is inside the ellipse.

Similarly by checking we can see (−2,−1)\left( { - 2, - 1} \right) is also inside the ellipse.

Hence, we can say entire set A is inside of the set B.

∴    \therefore\,\,\,\, A ⊂\subset B
