TS Inter 1st Year English Grammar Syllables

Q.No. 19 (4 × 1 = 4 Marks)

A syllable is the next higher unit to a speech sound and forms a word or part of a word. It contains one (and only one) vowel sound (not letter). The number of consonant sounds in a syllable may be ‘Zero to Seven’.

A word may have one syllable or more.

• Words with one syllable each are called monosyllabic words.
• Words with two syllables each are called disyllabic words.
• Words with three syllables each are called trisyllabic words.
• Words with more than three syllables each are called polysyllabic words.

The, number of vowel sounds in a word gives us the number of syllables in that word. By noticing the vowel symbols in the phonetic transcript of a given word, we can arrive at the number of syllables in that word. Look at the following examples :

pen / pen only one vowel sound – one syllable – monosyllabic paper / peips (r) / two vowel sounds – two syllables – disyllabic gravity / graeviti / three vowel sounds – three syllables – trisyllabic.

discovery / dɪˈskʌvɚɹi / four vowel sounds – four syllables – poly (tetra) syllabic, organization / ˌɔːrɡənəˈzeɪʃən / five vowel sounds – five syllables – poly (penta) syllabic.

There are, however, certain words in which the number of vowel sounds is not equal to the number of syllables. Look at the following examples :
brittle / ˈbɹɪtl̩ / only ong vowel sound – but two syllables
prism / pnzm / only one vowel sound – but two syllables
mutton / mAtn / only one vowel sound – but two syllables

The reason for this variation is that the consonant sounds / l /, / m / and / n / help form a syllable. These sounds in such words are, therefore, called syllabic consonants.
Examine some more examples of this kind :

Careful observation of phonetic transcription or correct pronunciation of words will help students find out the number of syllables in a given word.

TS Inter 1st Year Maths 1A Product of Vectors Important Questions Short Answer Type

Question 1.
Prove that angle in a semi-circle is a right angle by using vector method. [MAR ’13, ’08, ’99]
Answer:
Let AB be a diameter of a circle with centre O.
Let OA = a, then OB = -a
Let P be a point on the circle and OP = r
OA = OB = OP


∠APB = 90°
∴ Angle in a semicircle is 90°.

Question 2.
If P, Q, R and S are points whose position vectors are i̅ – k̅, -i̅ + 2j̅, 2i̅ – 3k̅ and 3i̅ – 2j̅ – k̅ respectively, then find the component of RS on PQ. [Mar. ’98]
Answer:
The position vectors of the points P, Q, R and S with respect to the origin ‘O’ are
\(\overline{\mathrm{OP}}\) = i̅ – k̅,
\(\overline{\mathrm{OQ}}\) = -i̅ + 2j̅,
\(\overline{\mathrm{OR}}\) = 2i̅ – 3k̅,
\(\overline{\mathrm{OS}}\) = 3i̅ – 2j̅ – k̅
Now \(\overline{\mathrm{PQ}}=\overline{\mathrm{OQ}}-\overline{\mathrm{OP}}\) = -i̅ + 2j̅ -i̅ + k̅ = -2i̅ + 2j̅ + k̅
\(\overline{\mathrm{RS}}=\overline{\mathrm{OS}}-\overline{\mathrm{OR}}\) = 3i̅ – 2j̅ – k̅ – 2i̅ + 3k̅ = i̅ – 2j̅ + 2k̅

Question 3.
Prove that the angle ‘θ’ between any two diagonals of cube is given by cos θ = \(\frac{1}{3}\). [Mar ’12, ’11, ’10; Mar. ’10]
Answer:
Let \(\overline{\mathrm{OA}}\) = i̅, \(\overline{\mathrm{Ob}}\) = j̅ ,\(\overline{\mathrm{Oc}}\) = k̅
Let OA = OB = OC = 1 unit
In a cube, diagonals are OF, CD, BG, AE

Question 4.
Show that the points (5, – 1, 1), (7, – 4, 7), (1, – 6, 10) and (- 1, – 3, 4) are the vertices of a rhombus by vectors. [Mar. ’13]
Answer:
Let A(5, – 1, 1), B(7, – 4, 7), C(1, – 6, 10) and D(- 1, – 3, 4) are the given points.

∴ AB = BC = CD = DA = 7 units and AC ≠ BD.
∴ A, B, C, D are the points which are the vertices of a rhombus.

Question 5.
Find the area of the triangle whose vertices are A(1, 2, 3), B(2,3, 1) and C(3,1, 2). [Mar. ’14, ’06]
Answer:
Let the position vectors of A, B, C with respect to the origin are
\(\overline{\mathrm{OA}}\) = i̅ + 2j̅ + 3k̅, \(\overline{\mathrm{OB}}\) = 2i̅ + 3j̅ + k̅, \(\overline{\mathrm{OC}}\) = 3i̅ + j̅ + 2k̅
\(\overline{\mathrm{AB}}=\overline{\mathrm{OB}}-\overline{\mathrm{OA}}\) = 2i̅ + 3j̅ + k̅ – i̅ – 2j̅ – 3k̅ = i̅ + j̅ – 2k̅
\(\overline{\mathrm{AC}}=\overline{\mathrm{OC}}-\overline{\mathrm{OA}}\) = 3i̅ + j̅ + 2k̅ – i̅ – 2j̅ – 3k̅ = 2i̅ – j̅ – k̅

\(\overline{\mathrm{AB}} \times \overline{\mathrm{AC}}\) = \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
\overline{\mathbf{i}} & \overline{\mathrm{j}} & \overline{\mathrm{k}} \\
1 & 1 & -2 \\
2 & -1 & -1
\end{array}\right|\)
= i̅(-1 -2) – j̅(-1 + 4) + k̅(-1-2) = -3i̅ -3j̅ – 3k̅

∴ The area of triangle whose vertices are A, B, C is \(\frac{1}{2}|\overline{\mathrm{AB}} \times \overline{\mathrm{AC}}|\) = \(\frac{3 \sqrt{3}}{2}\)

Question 6.
If a̅ + b̅ + c̅ = 0, then prove that a̅ × b̅ = b̅ × c̅ = c̅ × a̅. [Mar. ’03; May ’98]
Answer:
Given a̅ + b̅ + c̅ = 0
⇒ a̅ = -b̅ – c̅
⇒ a̅ × b̅ = (-b̅ – c̅) × b̅
= -(b̅ × b̅) – (c̅ × c̅)
= -0 + b̅ × c̅

= a̅ × b̅ = b̅ × c̅ ………………(1)
⇒ a̅ + b̅ + c̅ = 0
b̅ = -a̅ – c̅

⇒ b̅ × c̅ = (-a̅ – c̅) × c̅ =-(a̅ × c̅) – (c̅ × b̅) = c̅ × a̅ – 0
b̅ × c̅ = c̅ × a̅ ……………………..(2)
From (1) & (2) ⇒ a̅ × b̅ = b̅ × c̅ = c̅ × a̅

Question 7.
Find the unit vector perpendicular to the plane passing through the points (1, 2, 3), (2,-1,1) and (1,2,-4). [Mar. ’17(AP) ’05; May ’10]
Answer:
Let the position vectors of the points A, B, C with respect to the origin ‘O’ are
\(\overline{\mathrm{OA}}\) = i̅ + 2 j̅ + 3k̅; \(\overline{\mathrm{OB}}\) = 2 i̅ – j̅ + k̅; \(\overline{\mathrm{OC}}\) = i̅ + 2 j̅ – 4k̅
\(\overline{\mathrm{AB}}=\overline{\mathrm{OB}}-\overline{\mathrm{OA}}\) = 2i̅ – j̅ + k̅ – i̅ – 2j̅ – 3k̅ = i̅ – 3 j̅ – 2k̅
\(\overline{\mathrm{AB}}=\overline{\mathrm{OB}}-\overline{\mathrm{OA}}\) = i̅ + 2j̅ – 4k̅ – i̅ – 2j̅ – 3k̅

The unit vector perpendicular to the plane passing through the points A, B and C is
\(\pm \frac{(\overline{\mathrm{AB}} \times \overline{\mathrm{AC}})}{|\overline{\mathrm{AB}} \times \overline{\mathrm{AC}}|}=\pm \frac{(21 \overline{\mathrm{i}}+7 \overline{\mathrm{j}})}{7 \sqrt{10}}=\pm \frac{(3 \overline{\mathrm{i}}+\overline{\mathrm{j}})}{\sqrt{10}}\)

Find a unit vector perpendicular to the plane determined by the points P(1, – 1, 2), Q(2, 0, – 1) and R (0, 2, 1).
Answer:
±\(\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}}\)(2i̅ + j̅ + k̅)

Question 8.
If a̅ = 2i̅ + 3j̅ + 4k̅, b̅ = i̅ + j̅ – k̅ and c̅ = i̅ – j̅ + k̅, then compute a̅ × (b̅ × c̅) and verify that it is perpendicular to a̅. [Mar. ’19(TS); May ’06; May ’03]
Answer:
Given vectors are a̅ = 2i̅ + 3j̅ + 4k̅, b̅ = i̅ + j̅ – k̅, c̅ = i̅ – j̅ + k̅
b̅ × c̅ = \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
\overline{\mathrm{i}} & \overline{\mathrm{j}} & \overline{\mathrm{k}} \\
1 & 1 & -1 \\
1 & -1 & 1
\end{array}\right|\)
= i̅(1 – 1) -j̅(1 + 1) + k̅(-1- 1) = 2i̅ – 2k̅

a̅ × (b̅ × c̅) = \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
\overline{\mathrm{i}} & \overline{\mathrm{j}} & \overline{\mathrm{k}} \\
2 & 3 & 4 \\
0 & -2 & -2
\end{array}\right|\)
= i̅(-6 + 8) – j̅(-4 – 0) + k̅(-4-0)
= 2i̅ + 4j̅ – 4k̅

Now [a̅ × (b̅ × c̅)].a̅ = (2i̅ + 4j̅ – 4k̅).(2i̅ + 3j̅ + 4k̅) = 4 + 12 – 16 = 0
a̅ × (b̅ × c̅) is perpendicular to a̅.

Question 9.
For any four vectors a, b, c and d show that (a̅ × b̅) . (c̅ × d̅) = \(\left|\begin{array}{cc}
\bar{a} \cdot \bar{c} & \bar{a} \cdot \bar{d} \\
\bar{b} \cdot \bar{c} & \bar{b} \cdot \bar{d}
\end{array}\right|\) and in particular \((\overline{\mathrm{a}} \times \overline{\mathrm{b}})^2=\overline{\mathrm{a}^2} \overline{\mathrm{b}^2}-(\overline{\mathrm{a}} \cdot \overline{\mathrm{b}})^2\). [Mar. ’02, ’00]
Answer:
LHS = (a̅ × b̅). (c̅ × d̅) = a̅. (b̅ × (c̅ × d̅)) = a̅. [(b̅. d̅) c̅ – (b̅. c̅) d̅]
= (a̅ . c̅)(b̅ . d̅) – (a̅ . d̅)(b̅ . c̅) = \(\left|\begin{array}{cc}
\bar{a} \cdot \bar{c} & \bar{a} \cdot \bar{d} \\
\bar{b} \cdot \bar{c} & \bar{b} \cdot \bar{d}
\end{array}\right|\)

In the above formula if c̅ = a̅ and d̅ = b̅, then
(a̅ × b̅) . (c̅ × d̅) = \(\left|\begin{array}{cc}
\bar{a} \cdot \bar{c} & \bar{a} \cdot \bar{d} \\
\bar{b} \cdot \bar{c} & \bar{b} \cdot \bar{d}
\end{array}\right|\) = (a̅.a̅)(b̅.b̅) – (a̅.b̅)(a̅.b̅) = \(\overline{\mathrm{a}^2} \overline{\mathrm{b}^2}-(\overline{\mathrm{a}} \cdot \overline{\mathrm{b}})^2\)

Question 10.
Let a̅, b̅ and c̅ be unit vectors such that b is not parallel to c and a̅ × (b̅ × c) = \(\frac{1}{2}\) b̅. Find the angles made by a̅ with each of b̅ and c̅. [May ’01]
Answer:
Since a̅, b̅ and c̅ be unit vectors then |a̅| = 1, |b̅| = 1, |c̅| = 1
Given a̅ × (b̅ × c̅) = -b̅
⇒ (a̅.c̅)b̅ – (a̅.b̅)c = \(\frac{1}{2}\)b̅
Since b̅ and c̅ are non-collinear vectors equating corresponding coefficients on both sides.
a̅.c̅ = \(\frac{1}{2}\)

|a||c| cos (a, c) = \(\frac{1}{2}\), -(a̅.b̅) = 0
1.1.cos(a̅, c̅) = \(\frac{1}{2}\), a̅.b̅ = 0
cos(a̅,c̅) = \(\frac{1}{2}\), a̅ ⊥ b̅
(a̅, c̅) = 60°, (a̅, b̅) = 90°

Question 11.
Let a̅ = i̅ + j̅ + k̅, b̅ = 2i̅ – j̅ + 3k̅, c = i̅ – j̅ and d̅ = 6i̅ + 2j̅ + 3k̅ . Express d̅ in terms of b̅ × c̅, c̅ × a̅ and a̅ × b̅. [May ’12]
Answer:
Given a̅ = i̅ + j̅ + k̅, b̅ = 2i̅ – j̅ + 3k̅, c̅ = i̅ – j̅, d̅ = 6i̅ + 2j̅ + 3k̅
= 1 (0 + 3) – 1 (0 – 3) + 1(-2 + 1) = 3 + 3 – 1 = 5
Now, d̅. a̅ = (6 i̅ + 2 j̅ + 3k̅). (i̅ + j̅ + k̅) = 11
d̅.b̅ = (6i̅ + 2j̅ + 3k̅).(2i̅ – j̅ + 3k̅) =19
d̅.c̅ = (6i̅ + 2j̅ + 3k̅).(i̅ – j̅) = 4
Take d̅ = x(b̅ x c̅) + y(c̅ x a̅) + z(a̅ x b̅), then we have x = \(\frac{\overline{\mathrm{d}} \cdot \overline{\mathrm{a}}}{\left[\begin{array}{lll}
\overline{\mathrm{a}} & \overline{\mathrm{b}} & \overline{\mathrm{c}}
\end{array}\right]}\), y = \(\frac{\overline{\mathrm{d}} \cdot \overline{\mathrm{b}}}{\left[\begin{array}{lll}
\overline{\mathrm{a}} & \overline{\mathrm{b}} & \overline{\mathrm{c}}
\end{array}\right]}\), z = \(\frac{\overline{\mathrm{d}} \cdot \overline{\mathrm{c}}}{\left[\begin{array}{lll}
\overline{\mathrm{a}} & \overline{\mathrm{b}} & \overline{\mathrm{c}}
\end{array}\right]}\)
∴ x = \(\frac{11}{5}\), y = \(\frac{19}{5}\), z = \(\frac{4}{5}\)
d̅ = \(\frac{11}{5}\) (3i̅ + 3j̅ – k̅) + \(\frac{19}{5}\)(-i̅ – j̅ + 2k̅) + \(\frac{4}{5}\)(4i̅ – j̅ – 3k̅)

Question 12.
For any four vectors a̅, b̅, c̅ and d̅, show that
(i) (a̅ × b̅) × (c̅ × d̅) = [a̅ c̅ d̅] b̅ – [b̅ c̅ d̅] a̅ and
(ii) (a̅ × b̅) × (c̅ × d̅) = [a̅ b̅ d̅]c̅ – [a̅ b̅ c̅]d̅. [Mar. ’18(AP); May ’99]
Answer:
(i) (a̅ × b̅) × (c̅ × d̅) = [(c̅ × d̅).a̅]b̅ – [(c̅ × d̅).b̅]a̅ = [a̅.(c̅ × d̅)]b̅ – [b̅.(c̅ × d̅)]a̅ = [a̅ c̅ d̅] b̅ – [b̅ c̅ d̅] a̅
(ii) (a̅ × b̅) × (c̅ × d̅) = [(a̅ × b̅). d̅]c̅ – [(a̅ × b̅). c̅]d̅ = [a̅ b̅ d̅]c̅ – [a̅ b̅ c̅]d̅

Question 13.
a, b, c are non-zero vectors and a is perpendicular to both b̅ and c̅. If |a̅| = 2, |b̅| = 3, |c̅| = 4 and (b̅, c̅) = \(\frac{2 \pi}{3}\), then find |[a̅ b̅ c̅]|. [May ’08]
Answer:
Given |a̅| = 2, |b̅| = 3, |c̅| = 4 and (b̅, c̅) = \(\frac{2 \pi}{3}\)
a is perpendicular to both b̅ and c̅.
Now b̅ × c̅ is a vector perpendicular to both b̅ & c̅.
a̅ is parallel to b̅ × c̅ (a̅, b̅ × c̅) = 0° or 180°

Now [a̅ b̅ c̅] = a̅. (b̅ × c̅) = |a̅| |b̅ × c̅| cos (a̅, b̅ × c̅) = |a̅| |b̅| |c̅| sin (b̅, c̅). cos (a̅, b̅ × c̅)
= 2.3.4.sin \(\frac{2 \pi}{3}\) . cos(0° or 180°) = 24. \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)(±1) = 12√3 = |[a b c]| = 12√3

Question 14.
If [b̅ c̅ d̅] + [c̅ a̅ d̅] + [a̅ b̅ d̅] = [a̅ b̅ c̅], then show that the points with position vectors a̅, b̅, c̅ and d̅ are coplanar. [Mar ’14; Mar. ’00]
Answer:
Let the position vectors of the points A, B, C and D with respect to the origin O’ are \(\overline{\mathrm{OA}}\) = a, \(\overline{\mathrm{OB}}\) = b, \(\overline{\mathrm{OC}}\) = c, \(\overline{\mathrm{OD}}\) = d.
Given [b̅ c̅ d̅] + [c̅ a̅ d̅] + [a̅ b̅ d̅] = [a̅ b̅ c̅] ……………………(1)
Now \([\overline{\mathrm{AB}}  \overline{\mathrm{AC}}  \overline{\mathrm{AD}}]=[\overline{\mathrm{OB}}-\overline{\mathrm{OA}}  \overline{\mathrm{OC}}-\overline{\mathrm{OA}}  \overline{\mathrm{OD}}-\overline{\mathrm{OA}}]\)
= [b̅ – a̅ c̅ – a̅ d̅ – a̅]
= (b̅ – a̅). [(c̅ – a̅) × (d̅ – a̅)] (b̅ – a̅).[c̅ × d̅ – c̅ × a̅ – a̅ × d̅ + a̅ × a̅]
= (b̅ – a̅).[c̅ × d̅ + a̅ × c̅ + d̅ × a̅ + 0]
= b̅. (c̅ × d̅) + b̅. (a̅ × c̅) + b̅. (d̅ × a̅) – a̅ . (c̅ × d̅) – a̅. (a̅ × c̅) – a̅. (d̅ × a̅)
= [b̅ c̅ d̅] + [b̅ a̅ c̅] + [b̅ d̅ a̅] – [a̅ c̅ d̅] – [a̅ a̅ c̅] – [a̅ d̅ a̅]
= [b̅ c̅ d̅] – [a̅ b̅ c̅] – [b̅ a̅ d̅] + [c̅ a̅ d̅] – 0 – 0
= [b̅ c̅ d̅] – [a̅ b̅ c̅] + [a̅ b̅ d̅] + [c̅ a̅ d̅]
= [b̅ c̅ d̅] + [c̅ a̅ d̅] + [a̅ b̅ d̅] – [a̅ b̅ c̅]
= [a̅ b̅ c̅] – [a̅ b̅ c̅] = 0 (from (1))
∴ The vectors AB, AC, AD are coplanar.
∴ The four points A, B, C and D are coplanar.

Question 15.
Find the volume of the tetrahedron whose vertices are (1, 2, 1), (3, 2, 5), (2, – 1, 0) and (- 1, 0, 1). [Mar. ’15(TS); May ’07; Mar. ’04]
Answer:
Let the position vectors of the points A, B, C and D with respect to the origin ‘O’ are
\(\overline{\mathrm{OA}}\)= i̅ + 2j̅ + k̅, \(\overline{\mathrm{OB}}\) = 3i̅ +2j̅ +5k̅, \(\overline{\mathrm{OC}}\) = 2i̅ – j̅, \(\overline{\mathrm{OD}}\) = -i̅ + k̅
Now \(\overline{\mathrm{AB}}=\overline{\mathrm{OB}}-\overline{\mathrm{OA}}\)A
= 3i̅ + 2j̅ + 5k̅ – i̅ – 2j̅ – k̅
= 2i̅ + 4k̅

\(\overline{\mathrm{AC}}=\overline{\mathrm{OC}}-\overline{\mathrm{OA}}\)
=2i̅ – j̅ – i̅ – 2j̅ – k̅
= i̅ – 3j̅ – k̅

\(\overline{\mathrm{AD}}=\overline{\mathrm{OD}}-\overline{\mathrm{OA}}\)
= -i̅ + k̅ – i̅ – 2j̅ – k̅
= -2i̅ – 2j̅

The volume of the tetrahedron whose vertices are A, B, C and D is \(\frac{1}{6}\left[\begin{array}{lll}
\overline{\mathrm{AB}} & \overline{\mathrm{AC}} & \overline{\mathrm{AD}}
\end{array}\right]\)
\(\frac{1}{6}\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
2 & 0 & 4 \\
1 & -3 & -1 \\
-2 & -2 & 0
\end{array}\right|\)
= \(\frac{1}{6}\)|2(0 – 2) – 0(0 – 2) + 4(-2 – 6)|
= \(\frac{1}{6}\)|-4-32|
= \(\frac{36}{6}\) = 6
∴ Volume = 6 cubic units.

Question 16.
Prove that the four points 4i̅ + 5j̅ + k̅,-(j̅ + k̅), 3i̅ + 9j̅ + 4k̅ and -4i̅ + 4j̅ + 4k̅ are coplanar. [Mar. ’99]
Answer:
Let the position vectors of the points A, B, C and D with respect to the origin ‘O’ are \(\overline{\mathrm{OA}}\) = 4i̅ + 5j̅ + k̅,\(\overline{\mathrm{OB}}\) = -(j̅ + k̅), \(\overline{\mathrm{OC}}\) = 3i̅ + 9j̅ + 4k̅,\(\overline{\mathrm{OD}}\) = -4i̅ + 4j̅ + 4k̅
\(\overline{\mathrm{AB}}=\overline{\mathrm{OB}}-\overline{\mathrm{OA}}\) = -j̅ – k̅ – 4 i̅ – 5j̅ – k̅ = -4i̅ – 6j̅ – 2k̅
\(\overline{\mathrm{AC}}=\overline{\mathrm{OC}}-\overline{\mathrm{OA}}\) = 3i̅ + 9j̅ + 4k̅ – 4i̅ – 5j̅ – k̅ = -i̅ + 4j̅ + 3k̅
\(\overline{\mathrm{AD}}=\overline{\mathrm{OD}}-\overline{\mathrm{OA}}\) = – 4i̅ + 4j̅ + 4k̅ – 4i̅ – 5j̅ – k̅ = -8i̅ – j̅ + 3k̅

Now \([\overline{\mathrm{AB}} \overline{\mathrm{AC}} \overline{\mathrm{AD}}]=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
-4 & -6 & -2 \\
-1 & 4 & 3 \\
-8 & -1 & 3
\end{array}\right|\)
= -4(15) + 6(21) – 2(33)
= -60 + 126 – 66
= 126 – 126
= 0
∴ The vectors AB, AC, AD are coplanar.
∴ The four points A, B, C and D are coplanar.

Question 17.
If a̅ = 2i̅ + j̅ – k̅, b̅ = – i̅ + 2j̅ – 4k̅ and c̅ = i̅ + j̅ + k̅, then find (a̅ × b̅).(b̅ × c̅). [Mar. ’19(AP); Mar. ’17(TS)]
Answer:
Given a̅ = 2 i̅ + j̅ – k̅; b̅ = – i̅ + 2j̅ – 4k̅; c̅ = i̅ + j̅ + k̅
Now a̅ × b̅ = \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
\overline{\mathrm{i}} & \overline{\mathrm{j}} & \overline{\mathrm{k}} \\
2 & 1 & -1 \\
-1 & 2 & -4
\end{array}\right|\)
= i̅ (-4 + 2) – j̅ (-8 – 1) + k̅ (4 + 1)
= -2i̅ + 9j̅ + 5k̅

b̅ × c̅ = \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
\overline{\mathrm{i}} & \overline{\mathrm{j}} & \overline{\mathrm{k}} \\
-1 & 2 & -4 \\
1 & 1 & 1
\end{array}\right|\)
= i̅ (2 + 4) – j̅ (-1 + 4) + k̅ (-1 – 2)
= 6i̅ – 3j̅ – 3k̅

(a̅ × b̅).(b̅× c̅) = (-2i̅ + 9j̅ + 5k̅ ).(6i̅ – 3j̅ – 3k̅) = -12 – 27 – 15 = -54

TS Inter 1st Year English Grammar Information Transfer

Q.No. 20 (1 × 4 = 4 Marks)

Information can be expressed through verbal (description) and non verbal (diagrams) modes. Some of the non-verbal modes are :

1. Pie-charts,
2. Bar graphs,
3. Tree diagrams,
4. Flow charts and
5. Tables.

The process of changing a text from Verbal to Non-verbal mode or vice versa is called Information Transfer. This is a very useful and important skill for students. Acquiring this skill enables the students make notes quickly, understand various texts effectively and present ideas clearly and briefly.

Non-verbal expressions are remarkable for their brevity, clarity, simplicity, accessibility and provision for comparative, contrastive and analytical studies.

1. PIE-CHARTS

A pie-chart is a circle divided into parts. Each part represents a particular thing. And eah part is in proportion to the ratio of that thing to its total. Studying the given pie chart slowly helps one understand the information given there. Then the information can be presented in verbal mode. Once the mode of representing the given information in the form of a pie-chart is understood, verbal text can be transferred into a pie-chart.

In a pie charl; the information is presented in the form of a circle. The circle is divided into sections called sectors. The contribution of each unit in the chart is represented in percentages.

Example 1 :
The following pie chart depicts the results of a survey regarding distribution of different Blood Groups in a college.
Blood Groups in a College

From the figure we can see that 35% of the students of a college have 0 Group of Blood and these students form the largest group. The next largest group comprises students with B Group of Blood. 30% of students belong to this category. 25% of students have AB Group of Blood. Finally, we see that only 10% of students have A Group of Blood. Thus, from the piechart we can conclude that while many students have O Group of Blood. Very few have A Group.

Example 2 :
The following piechart depicts the favourite subject of students in a class. We can see from the figure that five subjects have been taken into consideration – Economics, Civics, Commerce, English and 2^nd Language. Students who like Economics form the largest group. A quarter of the students of the class i.e 25% expressed preference for this subject. 20% of the students like English and the same percentage i.e 20% of the students like Commerce. Next in popularity is Civics, liked by 18% of the class. Finally, trailing closely behind Civics, comes 2^nd Language, which is the favourite subject of 17% of the students.

2. BAR BRAPHS

A bar graph is a diagram in which values of variables are shown by the length of rectangular columns with equal width. It is another visual representation of data. It helps to compare the values presented in a group. The bars can be plotted vertically or horizontally. A vertical bar chart is sometimes called a column bar chart.

Example 1 :
Given below is the iar graph that shows the cost of certain vegetables over a period of 4 months. Let us now make a detailed analysis.

The bar graph given below shows the cost of carrots and potatoes over a period of four months – January, February, March and April. Carrots were more costly than potatoes during all the months. In January carrots cost Rs. 35 a kilo, while potatoes cost a little less, at Rs. 30 a kilo. The cost of carrots increased to Rs. 40 in February, while there was a sharp fall in the cost of potatoes.

There was a sharp rise in the cost of both the vegetables after that and in March the cost of carrots was Rs. 50 per kilo while that of potatoes was Rs. 40. In April once again there was a steep increase in the cost of carrots but the cost of potatoes remained the same as in March. Thus we observe that the cost of carrots kept increasing over the months but that of potatoes fluctuating.

Groundnut oil is used in cooking. Oils from flowers go into the making of soap, medicines and perfumes (scents). Mineral oil fuels machines and automobiles.

4. FLOW CHARTS

We draw flow charts when we present information in the form of a process. For instance, we construct flow charts to put the information of the industrial production from raw product to finished product in a logical order in successive steps. Flow charts are simple to construct and easy to understand. Each step in the sequence is written in a diagram shape. These successive stages or steps are linked by connecting directional arrows. They guide readers to understand flow charts logically and follow the process from beginning to end. In these flow charts we find elongated circles, rectangles and diamond shaped diagrams.

Example 1 :
Describe how the following passage is presented in a flow chart. The passage shows the time table for children in a boarding school. You are supposed to wake up at 5 am every day and lights – out time is 9.30 pm. Siesta time is between 1 and 2 in the afternoon. Assembly begins at 8 am sharp in the school hall. You have to report to your House Prefect by 7.30 am on all school days. You may play any game between 4 and 6 pm. You must not be late for study time which is between 6 and 8 in the evening. School timings are from 8.30 am to 3.30 pm with an hour-long lunch break at 1 pm. These details are shown in a flow chart.

TENSES IN CONDITIONAL CLAUSES :

Clauses that show conditions are called conditional clauses. Sentences with conditional clauses use fixed patterns of Tenses.
Conditions are of four types :

1. Real conditions
2. Unreal or improbable conditions
3. Past unfulfilled conditions and
4. Zero conditions.

The tense forms used in a sentence are determined by the type of the condition in that sentence.

Look at the following examples :

1. If it rains, I will not come to your home.
   (Real condition-Simple present in the conditional clause and Simple Future in the main clause)
2. If I were a bird, I would fly high in the sky. (Unreal condition – Simple Past (were-even with I) in the conditional clause and ‘would+V’ in the main clause)
3. If he had worked hard, he would have passed the examination.
   (Past unfulfilled condition-Past Perfect in the conditional clause and would + have + Past Participle of verb in the main clause).
4. If you heat metals, they expand.
   (Zero conditions : The action certainly leads to the second action. Simple present is used in both the clauses).

The information may easily be noted in the table form.

s. No.	Type of condition	Tense in conditional clause	Tense in main clause
1	Real	Simple Present Ex : If you come early.	Simple Future we will go to our friends house.
2	Ureal	Simple Past If I were you	would + V I wouldn’t do that.
3	Past Unfulfilled	Past Perfect If she had started early	would + have + pp of verb she would have
4	Zero condition	Simple Present If you go higher	caught the train. Simple Present you see better.

TS Inter 1st Year Maths 1A Product of Vectors Important Questions Very Short Answer Type

Question 1.
Find the angle between the vectors i̅ + 2j̅ + 3k̅ and 3i̅ – j̅ + 2k̅. [Mar. ’17(TS), ’14, ’10] [Mar. ’18(AP)]
Answer:
Let a̅ = i̅ + 2 j̅ + 3k̅ and b̅ = 3i̅ – j̅ + 2k̅

Let θ be the angle between the vectors a and b then cos θ = \(\frac{\bar{a} \cdot \bar{b}}{|\bar{a}||\bar{b}|}\)

∴ θ = 60°

If a̅ = 6i̅ + 2j̅ + 3k̅ and b̅ = 2i̅ – 9j̅ + 6k̅ then find a̅. b̅ and the angle between a̅ and b̅. [Mar ’98]
Answer:
12, cos^-1\(\left(\frac{12}{77}\right)\)

Question 2.
If a̅ = i̅ + 2j̅ – 3k̅ and b̅ = 3i̅ – j̅ + 2k̅, then show that a̅ + b̅ and a̅ – b̅ are perpendicular to each other. [Mar. ’15(AP); Mar ’11; Mar. ’10, ’08; B.P]
Answer:
Given vectors are a̅ = i̅ + 2j̅ – 3k̅ and b̅ = 3i̅ – j̅ + 2k̅
Now a̅ + b̅ = i̅ + 2j̅ – 3k̅ + 3i̅ – j̅ + 2k̅ = 4i̅ + j̅ – k̅
a̅ – b̅ = i̅ + 2j̅ – 3k̅ – 3i̅ + j̅ – 2k̅ = -2i̅ + 3j̅ – 5k̅
Now, (a̅ + b̅) . (a̅ – b̅) = (4i̅ + j̅ – k̅) . (-2i̅ + 3 j̅ – 5k̅)
= -8 + 3 + 5 = -8 + 8 = 0
∴ a̅ + b̅ and a̅ – b̅ are perpendicular to each other.

Question 3.
Let a̅ and b̅ be non – zero, non-collinear vectors. If |a̅ + b̅| = |a̅ – b̅| then find the angle between a̅ and b̅. [Mar. ’94]
Answer:
Given |a̅ + b̅| = |a̅ – b̅|
Squaring on both sides ⇒ |a̅ + b̅|² = |a̅ – b̅|²
⇒ a̅² + b̅² + 2a̅. b̅ = a̅² + b̅² – 2a̅.b̅
⇒ 4a̅.b̅ = 0
⇒ a̅.b̅ = 0
∴ Angle between a̅ and b̅ is 90°.

Question 4.
If the vectors 2i̅ + λj̅ – k̅ and 4i̅ – 2j̅ + 2k̅ are perpendicular to each other, then find λ. [Mar ’15(TS); May ’05; Mar. ’05]
Answer:
Let a̅ = 2i̅ + λj̅ – k̅; b̅ = 4i̅ – 2j̅ + 2k̅
Since the vectors a and b are perpendicular, then a̅ . b̅ = 0
(2i̅ + λj̅ – k̅) . (4i̅ – 2j̅ + 2k̅) = 0
8 – 2λ – 2 = 0
6 – 2λ = 0
⇒ 2λ = 6
⇒ λ = 3

For what values of λ, the vectors i̅ – λj̅ + 2k̅ and 8i̅ + 6 j̅ – k̅ are at right angles ?
Answer:
1

If the vectors λi̅ – 3j̅ + 5k̅ and 2λi̅ – λj̅ – k̅ are perpendicular to each other then find λ. [Mar. ’19(AP); Mar ’16(TS); May ’14]
Answer:
\(\frac{-5}{2}\) or 1.

Question 5.
Let a̅ = i̅ + j̅ + k̅ and b̅ = 2i̅ + 3j̅ + k̅, find projection vector of b̅ on a̅ and its magnitude.
Answer:
Orthogonal projection of vector b̅ on a̅ is
= \(\frac{(\bar{a} \cdot \bar{b}) \bar{a}}{|\bar{a}|^2}=\frac{[(\bar{i}+\bar{j}+\bar{k}) \cdot(2 \bar{i}+3 \bar{j}+\bar{k})]}{|\bar{i}+\bar{j}+\bar{k}|^2}\)
= \(\frac{(2+3+1)}{(\sqrt{3})^2}\)(i̅ + j̅ + k̅) = 2(i̅ + j̅ + k̅)
Magnitude = |2(i̅ + j̅ + k̅)| = 2\(\sqrt{1+1+1}\) = 2√3

If a̅ = i̅ – j̅ – k̅ and b̅ = 2i̅ – 3j̅ + k̅, then find the projection vector of b̅ on a̅ and its magnitude. [Mar ’17(AP), ’91]
Answer:
\(\frac{4}{3}\)(i̅ – j̅ – k̅); \(\frac{4}{\sqrt{3}}\)

Question 6.
If a̅ = 2i̅ + 2j̅ – 3k̅, b̅ = 3i̅ – j̅ + 2k̅, then find the angle between the vectors 2a̅ + b̅ and a̅ + 2b̅. [Mar ’02; Mar. ’02]
Answer:
Given that a̅ = 2i̅ + 2j̅ – 3k̅, b̅ = 3i̅ – j̅ + 2k̅
Now, 2a̅ + b̅ = 2(2i̅ + 2 j̅ – 3k̅) + 3i̅ – j̅ + 2k̅
= 7i̅ + 3 j̅ – 4k̅
a̅ + 2b̅ = 2i̅ + 2j̅ – 3k̅ + 2(3i̅ – j̅ + 2k̅)
= 8i̅ + k̅
If θ is the angle between 2a̅ + b̅ and a̅ + 2b̅ then

Question 7.
If a̅ = 2i – j̅ + k̅ and b̅ = i̅ – 3j̅ – 5k̅, then find a̅ × b̅. [Mar. ’13]
Answer:
a̅ = 2 i̅ – j̅ + k̅ and b̅ = i̅ – 3j̅ – 5k̅

a̅ × b̅ = \(\left|\begin{array}{rrr}
\overline{\mathrm{i}} & \overline{\mathrm{j}} & \overline{\mathrm{k}} \\
2 & -1 & 1 \\
1 & -3 & -5
\end{array}\right|\) = i̅ (5 + 3) – j̅ (-10 -1) + k̅ (- 6 +1) = 8i̅ +11j̅ – 5k̅
∴ |a̅ × b̅| = \(\sqrt{64+121+25}=\sqrt{210}\)

Question 8.
If 4i̅ + \(\frac{2p}{3}\) j̅ + pk̅ is parallel to vector i̅ + 2j̅ + 3k̅, find p.
Answer:
Let a̅ = 4i̅ + \(\frac{2p}{3}\) j̅ + pk̅, b̅ = i̅ + 2j̅ + 3k̅
Since the vector a̅ and b̅ are parallel then
⇒ \(\frac{4}{1}=\frac{2 p / 3}{2}=\frac{p}{3}\)
⇒ 4 = \(\frac{\mathrm{p}}{3}=\frac{\mathrm{p}}{3} \Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{p}}{3}\) = 4
⇒ p = 12

Question 9.
Find the area of the parallelogram having a̅ = 2j̅ – k̅ and b̅ = -i̅ + k̅ as adjacent sides.
Answer:
Given a̅ = 2j̅ – k̅, b̅ = -i̅ + k̅
a̅ × b̅ = \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
\overline{\mathrm{i}} & \overline{\mathrm{j}} & \overline{\mathrm{k}} \\
0 & 2 & -1 \\
-1 & 0 & 1
\end{array}\right|\)
= i̅(2 – 0) – j̅(0 – 1) + k̅(0 + 2)
= 2i̅ + j̅ + 2k̅
|a̅ × b̅| = \(\sqrt{(2)^2+(1)^2+(2)^2}=\sqrt{4+1+4}=\sqrt{9}\) = 3
∴ The area of the parallelogram having a̅ and b̅ as adjacent sides = |a̅ × b̅| = 3 sq.units.

Find the area of the parallelogram for which the vectors a̅ = 2i̅ – 3j̅ and b̅ = 3i̅ – k̅ are adjacent sides. [Mar. ’12, ’08, ’07; Mar. ’08]
Answer:
\(\sqrt{94}\) sq. units.

Question 10.
Find the area of the parallelogram whose diagonals are 3i̅ + j̅ – 2k̅ and i̅ – 3j̅ + 4k̅. [May ’02]
Answer:
Let a̅ = 3i̅ + j̅ – 2k̅ & b̅ = i̅ – 3j̅ + 4k̅
a̅ × b̅ = \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
\bar{i} & \bar{j} & \bar{k} \\
3 & 1 & -2 \\
1 & -3 & 4
\end{array}\right|\)
= i̅(4 – 6) – j̅(12 + 2) + k̅(-9 – 1) = -2i̅ – 14j̅ – 10k̅
|a̅ × b̅| = \(\sqrt{(-2)^2+(-14)^2+(-10)^2}\)
= \(\sqrt{4+196+100}\)
= \(\sqrt{300}\) = 10√3

The area of the parallelogram whose diagonals a̅ and b̅ is
\(\frac{1}{2}\)|a̅ × b̅| = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 10√3 = 5√3 sq.units

Question 11.
W Find unit vector perpendicular to the plane determined by the vectors a̅ = 4i̅ + 3j̅ – k̅ and b̅ = 2i̅ – 6j̅ – 3k̅.
Answer:
Given vectors are a̅ = 4i̅ + 3j̅ – k̅ and b̅ = 2i̅ – 6j̅ – 3k̅
a̅ × b̅ = \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
\overline{\mathrm{i}} & \overline{\mathrm{j}} & \overline{\mathrm{k}} \\
4 & 3 & -1 \\
2 & -6 & -3
\end{array}\right|\)
= i̅(-9 – 6) – j̅(-12 + 2) + k̅(-24 – 6) = -15i̅ + 10j̅ – 30k̅

|a̅ × b̅| = \(\sqrt{(-15)^2+(10)^2+(-30)^2}\)
= \(\sqrt{225+100+900}=\sqrt{1225}\) = 35
∴ The unit vector perpendicular to the plane determined by the vector a̅ and b̅ = \(\pm \frac{(\bar{a} \times \bar{b})}{|\bar{a} \times \bar{b}|}\)
= \(\pm \frac{(-15 \overline{\mathrm{i}}+10 \overline{\mathrm{j}}-30 \overline{\mathrm{k}})}{35}=\pm \frac{(-3 \overline{\mathrm{i}}+2 \overline{\mathrm{j}}-6 \overline{\mathrm{k}})}{7}\)

If a̅ = 2i̅ – 3j̅ + 5k̅, b̅ = -i̅+ 4j̅ + 2k̅ then find a̅ x b̅ and unit vector perpendicular to both a̅ and b̅.

= \(\left|\begin{array}{rrr}
1 & 1 & 1 \\
1 & -1 & 0 \\
1 & 2 & -1
\end{array}\right|\)
= 1(1 – 0) – 1(-1 – 0) + 1(2 + 1)
= 1(1) – 1(-1) + 1(3)
= 1 + 1 + 3
= 5 cubic units.

Answer:
Given a̅, b̅, c̅ are non coplanar vector we have [a̅ b̅ c̅] ≠ 0
If the vectors a̅ + b̅ + c̅, a̅ + pb̅ + 2c̅ and -a̅ + b̅ + c̅ are coplanar
Then [a̅ b̅ c̅]\(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
1 & 1 & 1 \\

\(\left|\begin{array}{ccc}
1 & 1 & 1 \\
1 & p & 2 \\
-1 & 1 & 1
\end{array}\right|\) = 0 (∵ [a̅ b̅ c̅] ≠ 0)
⇒ 1(p – 2) – 1(1 + 2) + 1(1 + p) = 0
⇒ p – 2 – 3 + 1 + p = 0
⇒ 2p – 4 = 0
⇒ 2p = 4

1 & 1 & 0 \\
3 & -1 & 0 \\
0 & 3 & \lambda
\end{array}\right|\) =±16
⇒ 1(-λ -0) -1(3λ – 0) + 0(9 – 0) = ± 16
⇒ -λ – 3λ + 0 = ± 16
⇒ -4λ =± 16
⇒ λ = ±4

Question 18.
Show that i̅ × (a̅ × i̅) + j̅ × (a̅ × j̅) + k̅ × (a̅ × k̅) = 2a̅ for any vector a̅. [Mar. ’03; May ’98]
Answer:
Let a = xi̅ + yj̅ + zk̅
Now i̅ × (a̅ × i̅) = (i̅.i̅)a̅ – (i̅.a̅)i̅ = a̅ – (i̅.a̅)i̅;
j̅ × (a̅ × j̅) = a̅ – (j̅.a̅)j̅;
k̅ ×(a̅ × k̅) = a̅ – (k̅.a̅)k̅

LHS = i̅ x (a̅ x i̅) + j̅ x (a̅ x j̅) + k̅ x (a̅ x k̅)
= a̅ – (i̅.a̅)i̅ + a̅ – (j̅ . a̅)j̅ + a̅ – (k̅ . a̅)k̅
= 3a̅ – [(i̅.a̅)i̅ +(j̅.a̅)j̅ + (k̅.a̅)k̅]

1. Noun
2. Pronoun
3. Adjective
4. Preposition
5. Verb
6. Adverb

8. Interjection.

1. NOUN

A noun is a naming word.
e.g. : boy, tree, king, Hyderabad, rose, happiness, etc.
Kinds of nouns : Nouns are divided into four kinds. They are :

2. Common Nouns : A common noun refers to a kind or class of things.
e g. : tiger, sugar, wall, bag, building, etc.
Common Nouns are again classified into countable nouns and uncountable nouns.
Countable Nouns : These can be counted.
Eg : boys (ten boys), flowers (three flowers, etc.)
Uncountable Nouns : These cannot be counted. They remain in mass, e.g. : Copper, rice, water.

3. Collective Nouns : They are the groups of the same class.
e.g. : crowd, herd, government, army, family, parliament, etc.

4. Abstract Nouns : They are the names of quality or state.
e.g. : Kindness, childhood, youth, fear, etc.

2. PRONOUN

A pronoun is a word used instead of a noun.
e.g. : he, she, it, we, mine, those, etc.
Personal pronouns : I, me, you, he him, etc.
Reflexive pronouns : myself, herself, himself, themselves, itself, etc.

Sing a song about the parts of speech in English.
A noun is the name of a thing.
As a school, a garden, a kite, or a king;
Adjectives tell the kind of noun,
As great, small, pretty, white, or brown;
Instead of nouns the pronouns stand,
He, she, it, I, you, we, they-all in hand;
Verbs tell us of something being done,
To read, count, laugh, cry, or run;
How things are done the adverbs tell,
As slowly, quickly, very, or well;
Conjunctions join the words together,
As men and women, wind and weather,
The preposition stands before Ac noun, as in near or through a door;
The interjection shows surprise,
As-Oh ! Ow ! Aha ! Ah ! How wise !
These are the eight parts of English speech,
Which reading, writing, speaking teach.

Remember that the part of speech of a given word is decided by the part that word plays in a sentence. The same word may function in various ways in different sentences. Look at the examples Carefully.

a. We water plants regularly, (water – verb – నీరు పోయుట)
water is precious, (water – noun – నీరు)

b. There is a man waiting for you. (man – noun)
Two persons man our gates round the clock, (man – కాపలకాయుట – v)

c. He is a fast bowler, (fast – adjective – వేగ)
She drives cars very fast. (fast – adverb వేగంగా )

d. Heat expand metals, (heat = $» – i5& – noun)
