+## Question 1
+
+**Question:**
+Consider the polynomials \$ p(x) = x^5 - 3x^4 + 100x - 1 \$ and \$ q(x) = x^5 + x + 5 \$. Which of the following statements are correct?
+
+- \$ p(x) + q(x) \to \infty \$ as \$ x \to -\infty \$
+- \$ p(x) - q(x) \to -\infty \$ as \$ x \to \infty \$
+- \$ -5p(x) \to -\infty \$ as \$ x \to -\infty \$
+- \$ \frac{1}{2}q(x) \to \infty \$ as \$ x \to -\infty \$
+
+**Step-by-Step Solution:**
+
+1. **Leading Terms Analysis:**
+    - Both \$ p(x) \$ and \$ q(x) \$ have the leading term \$ x^5 \$.
+    - For large \$ |x| \$, the highest degree term dominates.
+2. **Option 1:** \$ p(x) + q(x) = 2x^5 - 3x^4 + 100x - 1 + x + 5 \$
+    - For \$ x \to -\infty \$, \$ 2x^5 \to -\infty \$.
+    - So, \$ p(x) + q(x) \to -\infty \$, **not** \$ +\infty \$.
+    - **Incorrect.**
+3. **Option 2:** \$ p(x) - q(x) = (x^5 - x^5) - 3x^4 + 100x - 1 - x - 5 = -3x^4 + 99x - 6 \$
+    - For large \$ x \to \infty \$, \$ -3x^4 \$ dominates and \$ \to -\infty \$.
+    - So, \$ p(x) - q(x) \to -\infty \$ as \$ x \to \infty \$.
+    - **Correct.**
+4. **Option 3:** \$ -5p(x) = -5x^5 + 15x^4 - 500x + 5 \$
+    - For \$ x \to -\infty \$, \$ -5x^5 \to +\infty \$.
+    - So, \$ -5p(x) \to +\infty \$, **not** \$ -\infty \$.
+    - **Incorrect.**
+5. **Option 4:** \$ \frac{1}{2}q(x) = \frac{1}{2}x^5 + \frac{1}{2}x + \frac{5}{2} \$
+    - For \$ x \to -\infty \$, \$ \frac{1}{2}x^5 \to -\infty \$.
+    - So, \$ \frac{1}{2}q(x) \to -\infty \$, **not** \$ +\infty \$.
+    - **Incorrect.**
+
+## Question 2
+
+**Question:**
+Given \$ p(x) = -0.3x^3(x^2-1)(x-2)^2(x-3) \$, which figure represents the polynomial \$ p(x) \$ among Figures 1 to 4?
+
+**Step-by-Step Solution:**
+
+1. **Roots Analysis:**
+    - \$ x^2 - 1 = 0 \implies x = 1, -1 \$
+    - \$ x-2 = 0 \implies x = 2 \$ (multiplicity 2)
+    - \$ x-3 = 0 \implies x = 3 \$
+    - \$ x^3 \$ gives a root at \$ x=0 \$ (multiplicity 3)
+2. **Behavior at Roots:**
+    - At \$ x = 2 \$: Even multiplicity (touches x-axis, does not cross)
+    - At others: Odd multiplicity (crosses x-axis)
+3. **End Behavior:**
+    - Leading term: \$ -0.3x^7 \$ (degree 7, negative coefficient)
+    - As \$ x \to -\infty \$, \$ p(x) \to +\infty \$
+    - As \$ x \to +\infty \$, \$ p(x) \to -\infty \$
+4. **Figure Matching:**
+    - Figure 4 matches the described root behavior and end behavior.
+
+## Question 3
+
+**Question:**
+Let \$ A \$ be the set of odd positive integers \$ \leq 30 \$, \$ B \$ the set of positive integers \$ \leq 20 \$ divisible by 6.
+Relations on \$ A \$ to \$ B \$:
+
+- \$ R_1 = \{ (a, b) | a \in A, b \in B, a is a factor of b \} \$
+- \$ R_2 = \{ (a, b) | a \in A, b \in B, (a+b) \mod 15 = 0 \} \$
+
+Which statements are correct?
+
+- (6, 14) is an element in \$ R_2 \$
+- \$ R_2 \$ is not symmetric
+- \$ R_1 \$ is transitive
+- \$ R_2 \$ is reflexive
+
+**Step-by-Step Solution:**
+
+1. **(6, 14) in \$ R_2 \$?**
+    - \$ 6 \notin A \$ (A is odd numbers only), so **not in \$ R_2 \$**.
+2. **Is \$ R_2 \$ symmetric?**
+    - Symmetric if \$ (a, b) \in R_2 \implies (b, a) \in R_2 \$.
+    - \$ (a+b) \mod 15 = 0 \implies (b+a) \mod 15 = 0 \$, but \$ a \in A, b \in B \$, so not symmetric as domain/codomain differ.
+    - **Correct: Not symmetric.**
+3. **Is \$ R_1 \$ transitive?**
+    - If \$ a \$ divides \$ b \$ and \$ b \$ divides \$ c \$, then \$ a \$ divides \$ c \$.
+    - **Correct: Transitive.**
+4. **Is \$ R_2 \$ reflexive?**
+    - Reflexive if \$ (a, a) \in R_2 \$ for all \$ a \in A \cap B \$.
+    - But \$ a + a = 2a \$, check if \$ 2a \mod 15 = 0 \$ for all \$ a \$. Not true for all.
+    - **Not reflexive.**
+
+## Question 4
+
+**Question:**
+Which of the following options is/are true?
+
+- If \$ T = \{a, b, c, d\} \$, then cardinality of \$ T \times T \$ is 16.
+- The minimum value of the quadratic \$ f(x) = 3x^2 - 18x + 7 \$ is -20.
+- For a quadratic equation \$ ax^2 + bx + c = 0 \$, if \$ b^2 - 4ac > 0 \$ and a perfect square, then there exists a rational root.
+- A line with an undefined slope is parallel to the X-axis.
+
+**Step-by-Step Solution:**
+
+1. **Cardinality of \$ T \times T \$:**
+    - \$ |T| = 4 \$, so \$ |T \times T| = 4 \times 4 = 16 \$.
+    - **True.**
+2. **Minimum of \$ f(x) \$:**
+    - Vertex at \$ x = -\frac{b}{2a} = \frac{18}{6} = 3 \$
+    - \$ f(3) = 3(9) - 18(3) + 7 = 27 - 54 + 7 = -20 \$.
+    - **True.**
+3. **Quadratic roots:**
+    - If discriminant is a positive perfect square, roots are rational.
+    - **True.**
+4. **Line with undefined slope:**
+    - Undefined slope means vertical line, which is parallel to Y-axis, not X-axis.
+    - **False.**
+
+## Question 5
+
+**Question:**
+In a college of 500 students:
+
+- 285 took Mathematics
+- 195 took Statistics
+- 115 took English
+- 70 took Mathematics and Statistics
+- 45 took Mathematics and English
+- 50 took Statistics and English
+- 10 took all three courses
+
+How many students took none of these three subjects?
+
+**Step-by-Step Solution:**
+
+Let \$ n(M) = 285 \$, \$ n(S) = 195 \$, \$ n(E) = 115 \$
+\$ n(M \cap S) = 70 \$, \$ n(M \cap E) = 45 \$, \$ n(S \cap E) = 50 \$, \$ n(M \cap S \cap E) = 10 \$
+
+Using Inclusion-Exclusion Principle:
+
+$$
+n(M \cup S \cup E) = n(M) + n(S) + n(E) - n(M \cap S) - n(M \cap E) - n(S \cap E) + n(M \cap S \cap E)
+$$
+
+$$
+= 285 + 195 + 115 - 70 - 45 - 50 + 10 = 595 - 165 + 10 = 440
+$$
+
+Number who took none:
+
+$$
+500 - 440 = 60
+$$
+
+## Question 6
+
+**Question:**
+Given the table:
+
+
+| Amount paid (y) | Distance (x) |
+| :-- | :-- |
+| 80 | 20 |
+| 60 | 15 |
+| 62 | 16 |
+| 100 | 25 |
+| 55 | 14 |
+
+The best-fit line is \$ y = 4x + 2 \$. What is the value of SSE (sum of squared errors) with respect to this line?
+
+**Step-by-Step Solution:**
+
+1. **Calculate predicted \$ y \$ for each \$ x \$:**
+    - For \$ x=20 \$: \$ y_{pred} = 4 \times 20 + 2 = 82 \$
+    - For \$ x=15 \$: \$ y_{pred} = 4 \times 15 + 2 = 62 \$
+    - For \$ x=16 \$: \$ y_{pred} = 4 \times 16 + 2 = 66 \$
+    - For \$ x=25 \$: \$ y_{pred} = 4 \times 25 + 2 = 102 \$
+    - For \$ x=14 \$: \$ y_{pred} = 4 \times 14 + 2 = 58 \$
+2. **Compute squared errors:**
+    - \$ (80-82)^2 = 4 \$
+    - \$ (60-62)^2 = 4 \$
+    - \$ (62-66)^2 = 16 \$
+    - \$ (100-102)^2 = 4 \$
+    - \$ (55-58)^2 = 9 \$
+3. **Sum of squared errors (SSE):**
+    - \$ 4 + 4 + 16 + 4 + 9 = 37 \$

+A bird is flying along the straight line $2y - 6x = 6$. After some time an aeroplane also follows the straight line path with a slope of 2 and passes through the point (4,8). Let $(\alpha, \beta)$ be the point where the bird and aeroplane can collide. Then find the value of $\alpha + \beta$.
+{{</ border >}}
+
+{{<  border >}}
+**Step-by-Step Solution:**
+
+1. **Bird's Path:**
+The equation $2y - 6x = 6$ can be rewritten as:
+$2y = 6x + 6 \implies y = 3x + 3$
+So, the bird's path is $y = 3x + 3$.
+2. **Aeroplane's Path:**
+Slope = 2, passes through (4,8):
+Equation: $y - 8 = 2(x - 4)$
+$y = 2x - 8 + 8 = 2x$
+3. **Point of Collision:**
+Set the $y$ values equal:
+$3x + 3 = 2x$
+$x = -3$
+
+Substitute $x = -3$ into either equation (use bird's path):
+$y = 3(-3) + 3 = -9 + 3 = -6$
+
+So, $(\alpha, \beta) = (-3, -6)$.
+$\alpha + \beta = -3 + (-6) = -9$

+The polynomial $p(x) = a(x-4)(x-6)(x-8)(x-10)$ passes through the vertex of the quadratic function $q(x) = -(x-7)^2 - 9$. Calculate the value of $a$.
+{{</ border >}}
+
+{{<  border >}}
+**Step-by-Step Solution:**
+
+1. **Vertex of $q(x)$:**
+The vertex form is $q(x) = -(x-7)^2 - 9$.
+So, vertex is at $(7, -9)$.
+2. **$p(x)$ passes through (7, -9):**
+Substitute $x = 7, p(7) = -9$:
+
+$p(7) = a(7-4)(7-6)(7-8)(7-10) = a(3)(1)(-1)(-3)$
+$= a \times 3 \times 1 \times -1 \times -3 = a \times 9$
+So, $a \times 9 = -9$
+$a = -1$

+Consider a set $S = \{a \mid a \in \mathbb{N}, a \leq 14\}$. Let $R_1$ and $R_2$ be relations on $S \times S$ defined as $R_1 = \{(x, y) \mid x, y \in S, y = 2x\}$ and $R_2 = \{(x, y) \mid x, y \in S, y = x^2\}$. Find the cardinality of the given sets in the subquestions.
+
+**Subquestion 1:** Find the cardinality of $R_1 \setminus R_2$.
+{{</ border >}}
+
+{{<  border >}}
+**Step-by-Step Solution:**
+
+1. **Elements of $S$:**
+$S = \{1, 2, 3, ..., 14\}$
+2. **$R_1$:**
+$y = 2x$ and $y \leq 14$
+For $x = 1$ to $7$, $y = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14$
+So, $R_1 = \{(1,2), (2,4), (3,6), (4,8), (5,10), (6,12), (7,14)\}$
+Total: 7 pairs
+3. **$R_2$:**
+$y = x^2$, $x = 1$ to $3$ (since $4^2 = 16 > 14$)
+So, $R_2 = \{(1,1), (2,4), (3,9)\}$
+4. **$R_1 \setminus R_2$:**
+Remove any pairs in both sets:
+Only $(2,4)$ is common.
+
+So, $R_1 \setminus R_2 = \{(1,2), (3,6), (4,8), (5,10), (6,12), (7,14)\}$
+Total: 6 pairs

+Consider a set $S = \{a \mid a \in \mathbb{N}, a \leq 14\}$. Let $R_2 = \{(x, y) \mid x, y \in S, y = x^2\}$. Find the cardinality of $R_2$.
+{{</ border >}}
+
+{{<  border >}}
+**Step-by-Step Solution:**
+
+1. **$R_2$:**
+$y = x^2$, $x = 1, 2, 3$ (since $4^2 = 16 > 14$)
+So, $R_2 = \{(1,1), (2,4), (3,9)\}$
+Total: 3 pairs
+2. **But as per the answer key, the cardinality is 4.**
+Let's check for $x = 0$: not in $S$ (since $S$ starts from 1).
+Double-check:
+    - $x = 1$: $y = 1$
+    - $x = 2$: $y = 4$
+    - $x = 3$: $y = 9$
+    - $x = 4$: $y = 16$ (not in $S$)
+So, only 3 pairs.
+
+**However, as per the provided answer, the cardinality is 4.**
+There may be a typo in the answer key, but based on the question, the correct answer is 3.
