In each column, there are 7 pairs of adjacent squares where each pair share 1 side in common.
Total such pairs = 8 × 7 = 56.
In each row, there are 7 pairs of adjacent squares where each pair share 1 side in common.

The slope of the line x + y = 0 is -1
Hence the angle made by this line with respect to X-axis is 45o
In other words, the angle made by this line with x + 1 = 0 is 45o
Clearly the other line with which it can make 45o is y + 1 = 0

Section B
21. As given in the question we have, A = {1, 2, 3}, B = {4} and C = {5}
From set theory, (B - C) = {4}
∴ A × (B − C ) = {1, 2, 3} × {4} = {(1, 4), (2, 4), (3, 4)}........(i)

Page 8 of 14
 Now,
A × B = {1, 2, 3} × {4} = {(1, 4), (2, 4), (3, 4)}
and, A × C = {1, 2, 3} × {5} = {(1,5), (2, 5), (3, 5)}
∴ (A × B) − (A × C ) = {(1, 4), (2, 4), (3, 4)}.......(ii)

From equation (i) and equation (ii), we get

A × (B − C ) = (A × B) − (A × C )

We can see the equations (i) and (ii) have same ordered pairs.
Hence verified.

24. Let us consider the following sets A, B and C such that
A = {1, 2, 3}
B = {2, 3, 5}
C = {4, 5, 6}
Now (A ∩ B) ∪ C = ({1, 2, 3} ∩ {2, 3, 5}) ∪ {4, 5, 6}
= {2, 3} ∪ {4, 5, 6}
= {2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
And A ∩ (B ∪ C) = {1, 2, 3} ∩ [{2, 3, 5} ∪ {4, 5, 6}
= {1, 2, 3} ∩ {2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

= {(a, b): a = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
Now a = x and b = x + 5
Putting a = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 we get b = 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
∴ Domain of R = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
Range of R = {5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}
27. Let the length of the shortest side be x cm.
Then length of longest side = 3x cm
length of third side = (3x - 2)cm
Perimeter of triangle = x + 3x + 3x - 2

Now 7x − 2 ⩾ 61
⇒ 7x ⩾ 61 + 2 ⇒ 7x ⩾ 63 ⇒ x ⩾ 9

Thus the minimum length of shortest side = 9 cm
