Two numbers are selected at random (without replacement) from the first five positive integers. Let X denote the larger of the two numbers obtained. Find the mean and variance of X

Suppose a girl throws a die. If she gets 1 or 2 she tosses a coin three times and notes the number of tails. If she gets 3,4,5 or 6, she tosses a coin once and notes whether a ‘head’ or ‘tail’ is obtained. If she obtained exactly one ‘tail’, what is the probability that she threw 3,4,5 or 6 with the die ?

Let A = {1, 2, 3,......, 9} and R be the relation in A × A defined by (a, b) R (c, d) if a + d = b + c for (a, b), (c, d) in A × A. Prove that R is an equivalence relation. Also, obtain the equivalence class [(2, 5)].

Let f : N→N be a function defined as f(x)=`9x^2`+6x−5. Show that f : N→S, where S is the range of f, is invertible. Find the inverse of f and hence find `f^-1`(43) and` f^−1`(163).

Let N denote the set of all natural numbers and R be the relation on N × N defined by (a, b) R (c, d) if ad (b + c) = bc (a + d). Show that R is an equivalence relation.

Discuss the commutativity and associativity of binary operation '*' defined on A = Q − {1} by the rule a * b= a − b + ab for all, a, b ∊ A. Also find the identity element of * in A and hence find the invertible elements of A.
