(A) Reflexive but not transitive
(B) Symmetric but not reflexive
(C) Both reflexive and symmetric but not transitive
(D) An equivalence relation
Ans : (D)
Hints: For reflexive, = so sec2 tan2 = 1, Hence Reflexive
For symmetric, sec2 tan2 = 1 so, (1 + tan2) (sec2 1) = 1 so, sec2 tan2 = 1. Hence symmetric
For Transitive, let sec2 tan2 = 1 and sec2 tan2 = 1 so, 1 + tan2 tan2 = 1 or, sec2 tan2 = 1. Hence Transitive

64. A particle starting from a point A and moving with a positive constant acceleration along a straight line reaches another
point B in time T. Suppose that the initial velocity of the particle is u > 0 and P is the midpoint of the line AB. If the

velocity of the particle at point P is v1 and if the velocity at time is v2, then

Since the particle is moving with a positive constant acceleration hence its velocity should increase. So the time
taken to travel AP is more that the timetaken for PB. So the instant T 2 is before P. Hence v1 > v2 since velocity
increases from A to B.
