Check whether the relation R in the set R of real numbers, defined by R = {(a, b) : 1 + ab > 0}, is reflexive, symmetric or transitive.
To raise money for an orphanage, students of three schools A, B and C organized an exhibition in their locality, where they sold paper bags, scrap-books and pastel-sheets made by them using recycled paper at the rate of ₹ 20, ₹ 15 and ₹ 10 per unit respectively. School A sold 25 paper bags, 10 scrap-books and 30 pastel-sheets. School B sold 20 paper-bags, 15 scrap-books and 30 pastel-sheets. While school C sold 25 paper-bags, 18 scrap-books and 35 pastel-sheets. Using matrices, find the total amount raised by each school.

The amount of pollution content added in air in a city due to x-diesel vehicles is given by p(x) = 0·005x³ + 0·02x² + 30x. Find the marginal increase in pollution content when 3 diesel vehicles are added.
Consider f : given by f(x) = x² + 4 Show that f is invertible with the inverse of f given by = , where is the set of all nonnegative real numbers.
