Let A = ℝ − {3}, B = ℝ − {1}. Let f : A → B be defined by \[f\left( x \right) = \frac{x - 2}{x - 3}, \forall x \in A\] Show that f is bijective. Also, find
(i) x, if f⁻¹(x) = 4
(ii) f⁻¹(7)

Solve for x : \[\tan^{- 1} \left( \frac{x - 2}{x - 1} \right) + \tan^{- 1} \left( \frac{x + 2}{x + 1} \right) = \frac{\pi}{4}\] .

If \[A = \begin{bmatrix}5 & 6 & - 3 \\ - 4 & 3 & 2 \\ - 4 & - 7 & 3\end{bmatrix}\] , then write the cofactor of the element a₂₁ of its 2^nd row.

Three machines E₁, E₂ and E₃ in a certain factory producing electric bulbs, produce 50%, 25% and 25% respectively, of the total daily output of electric bulbs. It is known that 4% of the bulbs produced by each of machines E₁ and E₂are defective and that 5% of those produced by machine E₃ are defective. If one bulb is picked up at random from a day's production, calculate the probability that it is defective.

Prove that

\[2 \tan^{- 1} \left( \frac{1}{5} \right) + \sec^{- 1} \left( \frac{5\sqrt{2}}{7} \right) + 2 \tan^{- 1} \left( \frac{1}{8} \right) = \frac{\pi}{4}\] .

If \[\begin{pmatrix}a + 4 & 3b \\ 8 & - 6\end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix}2a + 2 & b + 2 \\ 8 & a - 8b\end{pmatrix},\] ,write the value of a − 2b.

Solve for x : \[\cos \left( \tan^{- 1} x \right) = \sin \left( \cot^{- 1} \frac{3}{4} \right)\] .

An insurance company insured 2000 scooter drivers, 4000 car drivers and 6000 truck drivers. The probabilities of an accident for them are 0.01, 0.03 and 0.15, respectively. One of the insured persons meets with an accident. What is the probability that he is a scooter driver or a car driver?

A speaks the truth 8 times out of 10 times. A die is tossed. He reports that it was 5. What is the probability that it was actually 5?

The contents of urns I, II, III are as follows:
Urn I : 1 white, 2 black and 3 red balls
Urn II : 2 white, 1 black and 1 red balls
Urn III : 4 white, 5 black and 3 red balls.
One urn is chosen at random and two balls are drawn. They happen to be white and red. What is the probability that they come from Urns I, II, III?

A bag A contains 2 white and 3 red balls and a bag B contains 4 white and 5 red balls. One ball is drawn at random from one of the bags and is found to be red. Find the probability that it was drawn from bag B.

Three urns contains 2 white and 3 black balls; 3 white and 2 black balls and 4 white and 1 black ball respectively. One ball is drawn from an urn chosen at random and it was found to be white. Find the probability that it was drawn from the first urn.

The contents of three urns are as follows:
Urn 1 : 7 white, 3 black balls, Urn 2 : 4 white, 6 black balls, and Urn 3 : 2 white, 8 black balls. One of these urns is chosen at random with probabilities 0.20, 0.60 and 0.20 respectively. From the chosen urn two balls are drawn at random without replacement. If both these balls are white, what is the probability that these came from urn 3?

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', then what is the probability that she threw 3, 4, 5 or 6 with the die?       

A letter is known to have come either from LONDON or CLIFTON. On the envelope just two consecutive letters ON are visible. What is the probability that the letter has come from
(i) LONDON (ii) CLIFTON?
