A set of points S ⊆ R2 is convex if for any points x, y ∈ S, every point on the straight line joining x and y is also in S. For two sets of points S, T ⊂ R2, define the sum S +T as the set of points obtained by adding a point in S to a point in T. That is, S + T := {(x1, x2) ∈ R2 : x1 = y1 + z1, x2 = y2 + z2, (y1, y2) ∈ S, (z1, z2) ∈ T}. Similarly, S −T := {(x1, x2) ∈ R2 : x1 = y1−z1, x2 = y2−z2, (y1, y2) ∈ S, (z1, z2) ∈ T} is the set of points obtained by subtracting a point in T from a point in S. Which of the following statements is TRUE for all convex sets S, T? (a) S + T is convex, but not S − T (b) S − T is convex, but not S + T (c) exactly one of S + T and S − T is convex, but it depends on S and T which one (d) neither S + T nor S − T is convex (e) both S + T and S − T are convex Here is PDF of TIFR old question paper computer and science: |
