If A = \(\left[\begin{array}{cc} 1 & \tan x \\ -\tan x & 1 \end{array}\right]\),

then the value of |A' A–1| is 

cos 4x
sec2 x
– cos 4x
1
Solution

Concept:

|A'| = |A|, where A' is the transpose of A.

|A–1| = \(\frac{1}{|A|}\), where A–1 is the inverse of A. 

Calculation:

Given, A = \(\left[\begin{array}{cc} 1 & \tan x \\ -\tan x & 1 \end{array}\right]\)

⇒ |A| = 1 + tan2x = sec2

∴ |A' A–1

= |A'||A–1|

= |A'| |A|–1

\(\frac{|A|}{|A|}\)

= 1

∴ The value of |A' A–1| is 1.

The correct answer is Option 4.

The area of the region, enclosed by the circle x2 + y2 = 2 which is not common to the region bounded by the parabola y2 = x and the straight line y = x is
\(\frac{1}{3}(12 \pi-1)\)
\(\frac{1}{6}(12 \pi-1)\)
\(\frac{1}{3}(6 \pi-1)\)
\(\frac{1}{6}(24 \pi-1)\)
Solution

Explanation -

Required area = area of the circle – area bounded by given line and parabola

Required area = πr2 –

\(\int_0^1\left(y-y^2\right) d y\)

Area = \(2 \pi-\left(\frac{y^2}{2}-\frac{y^3}{3}\right)_0^1\)

= 2π – (1/6)

= (1/6)(12π – 1) 

Hence Option (2) is correct.

The matrix \(\begin{bmatrix}2&0&0\\\ 0&1&0\\\ 0&0&1\end{bmatrix}\) is a
zero matrix
Identity matrix
Scalar matrix
Diagonal matrix
Solution

Concept -

(i) A diagonal matrix is a square matrix where all the elements outside the main diagonal are zero. The main diagonal is the set of elements where the row index equals the column index.

In other words, a diagonal matrix is a matrix in which all the off-diagonal elements are zero.

(ii) Identity matrix is \(\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1& 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \\ \end{bmatrix} \)

Explanation -

We have a 3 x 3 diagonal matrix:

\(\begin{bmatrix} 2 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1& 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \\ \end{bmatrix} \)

In this matrix, all the elements off the main diagonal (i.e., non-diagonal elements) are zero. and diagonal elements are no zero.

Hence Option(4) is true.

Calculation:

Given, \(\rm D=\begin{vmatrix}y+z&z&y\\\ z&z+x&x\\\ y&x&x+y\end{vmatrix}\)

C1 → C1 + C2 + C3

⇒ \(\rm D=\begin{vmatrix}2(y+z)&z&y\\\ 2(y+z)&z+x&x\\\ 2(y+z)&x&x+y\end{vmatrix}\)

⇒ \(\rm D=2\begin{vmatrix}y+z&z&y\\\ y+z&z+x&x\\\ y+z&x&x+y\end{vmatrix}\)

C1 → C1 - C2 - C3

⇒ \(\rm D=2\begin{vmatrix}0&z&y\\\ -x&z+x&x\\\ -x&x&x+y\end{vmatrix}\)

⇒ \(\rm D=-2x\begin{vmatrix}0&z&y\\\ 1&z+x&x\\\ 1&x&x+y\end{vmatrix}\)

R2 → R2 - R3

⇒ \(\rm D=-2x\begin{vmatrix}0&z&y\\\ 0&z&-y\\\ 1&x&x+y\end{vmatrix}\) = - 2x(-yz - yz) = 4xyz = 8

⇒ xyz = 2

Possible cases are:

{(211)(121)(112)(211)(211)(1−21)(121)(121)(112)(112)(112)(112)}

∴ The number of solutions are 12.

The area (in sq. units) of the part of the circle x2 + y2 = 36, which is outside the parabola y2 = 9x, is:
24π + 3√3
12π + 3√3
12π – 3√3
24π – 3√3
Solution

Calculation:

Given, x2 + y2 = 36…(i) which is outside the parabola y2 = 9x…(ii)

Using (ii) in (i), we get x2 + 9x = 36

⇒ x2 + 12x - 3x - 36 = 0

⇒ x(x + 12) - 3(x + 12) = 0

⇒ (x + 12)(x - 3) = 0

⇒ x = 3[As they meet on the +ve side x-axis]

⇒ y = ± 3√3

∴ The curves intersect at point (3, ± 3√3)

∴ Required area

\(\pi r^2-2\left[\int_0^3 \sqrt{9 x} d x+\int_3^6 \sqrt{36-x^2} d x\right]\)

\(36 \pi-12 \sqrt{3}-2\left(\frac{x}{2} \sqrt{36-x^2}+18 \sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{6}\right)\right)_3^6\)

\(36 \pi-12 \sqrt{3}-2\left(9-\left(\frac{9 \sqrt{3}}{2}+3 \pi\right)\right)\)

24π – 3√3

∴ The required area is 24π – 3√3.

The correct answer is Option 4.

Let \(A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 22 \\ 0 & 1 / 7 & \pi\end{array}\right]\), then det(A) is
zero
a non-zero rational number
an irrational number less than 1
an irrational number greater than 1
Solution

Formula Used:

The determinant of a 3x3 matrix  A  is given by the following formula:

\( \text{det}(A) = a_{11} \cdot \text{det}(A_{11}) - a_{12} \cdot \text{det}(A_{12}) + a_{13} \cdot \text{det}(A_{13}) \)

where  Aij is the submatrix obtained by removing the ith row and jth column, and aij is the element in the  ith row and jth column of matrix  A.

Explanation:

Given Matrix \(A = \left[\begin{array}{ccc} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 22 \\ 0 & \frac{1}{7} & π \end{array}\right] \)

\( \text{det}(A) =1 \cdot \text{det}(A_{11}) - 0 \cdot \text{det}(A_{12}) +0 \cdot \text{det}(A_{13}) \)

⇒ \( \text{det}(A) = \text{det}(A_{11}) = \left[\begin{array}{cc} 1 & 22 \\ \frac{1}{7} & π \end{array}\right] \)

⇒ det(A) = π - 22/7

As \(\frac{22}{7} = 3.\overline{142857}\) and π = 3.14159256 . . . 

Thus, π - 22/7 < 0 < 1

Also π - 22/7 is an irrational number as well.

Thus, det(A) is an irrational number less than 1.

1/6
1/2
3/5
8/5
Solution

Calculation:

Given, f(x) = e3x + 3x + 2

Now, f(0) = 1 + 0 + 2 = 3

and, f(\(\frac{1}{3}\)) = e + 1 + 2 = e + 3

We know, \(\displaystyle \int_a^bf(x) dx + \int_{f(a)}^{f(b)}f^{-1}(x)dx\) = bf(b) - af(a)

Putting a = 0 and b = \(\frac{1}{3}\), we get:

\(\displaystyle \int_0^\frac{1}{3}f(x) dx + \int_{f(0)}^{f(\frac{1}{3})}f^{-1}(x)dx \) = \(\frac{1}{3}\) f(\(\frac{1}{3}\)) - 0f(0) = \(\frac{1}{3}\)(e + 3)

⇒ \(\displaystyle \int_0^\frac{1}{3} (e^{3x}+3x+2)dx + \int_3^{e+3}f^{-1}(x)dx\) = \(\frac{1}{3}\)(e + 3)

⇒ \(\frac{1}{6}\)(2e + 3) + \(\displaystyle \int_3^{e+3}f^{-1}(x)dx\) = \(\frac{1}{3}\)(e + 3)

⇒ \(\displaystyle \int_3^{e+3}f^{-1}(x)dx\) = 1/2

∴ The value of \(\displaystyle \int_3^{e+3}f^{-1}(x)dx\) is 1/2.

The correct answer is Option 2.

2x log 2 - log x - 1
2x log 2 - log x + 1
2x log 2 + log x - 1
2x log 2 + log x + 1
Solution

Given:

 y = 2x + x log x

Concept:

Use formula

\(\rm \frac{d}{dx}(a^x)=a^x\ loga\)

\(\rm \frac{d}{dx}[f(x)g(x)]=\frac{d}{dx}[f(x)]g(x)+f(x)\frac{d}{dx}[g(x)]\)

Calculation:

 y = 2x + x log x

Differentiate with respect to x

\(\rm \frac{dy}{dx}=2^x\ log 2 + 1\cdot log x + x\cdot\frac{1}{x}\)

\(\rm \frac{dy}{dx}\)= 2x log 2 + log x + 1

Hence the option (4) is correct.

Solution

Concept Used:

The integrating factor (IF) for a first-order linear differential equation of the form \(\frac{dy}{dx} + P(x)y = Q(x)\) is given by \(e^{\int P(x) dx}\).

Calculation:

Given:

The differential equation is \(x \frac{dy}{dx} - y = x^2\).

\(\frac{dy}{dx} - \frac{1}{x}y = x\)

Here, \(P(x) = -\frac{1}{x}\) and \(Q(x) = x\).

The integrating factor is:

\(IF = e^{\int P(x) dx} = e^{\int -\frac{1}{x} dx}\)

\( = e^{-\ln|x|} = e^{\ln|x^{-1}|} = x^{-1} = \frac{1}{x}\)

Hence option 2 is correct

Calculation:

Given, P(A') = 0.3, P(B) = 0.4 and P (A ∩ B') = 0.5

∴ \(\mathrm{P}\left(\frac{\mathrm{B}}{\mathrm{A} \cup \mathrm{B}^{\prime}}\right)\)

\(\frac{P(\mathrm{B}\bigcap (\mathrm{A} \cup \mathrm{B}^{\prime}))}{P (\mathrm{A} \cup \mathrm{B}^{\prime})}\)

\(\frac{0.7-0.5}{0.7+0.6-0.5}\)

\(\frac{0.2}{0.8}\)

\(\frac{1}{4}\)

Solution

Calculation:

Given, f(x) = e2x + 4x - 3

Now, f(0) = 1 + 0 - 3 = -2

and, f(\(\frac{1}{2}\)) = e + 2 - 3 = e - 1

We know, \(\displaystyle \int_a^bf(x) dx + \int_{f(a)}^{f(b)}f^{-1}(x)dx\) = bf(b) - af(a)

Putting a = 0 and b = \(\frac{1}{2}\), we get:

\(\displaystyle \int_0^\frac{1}{2}f(x) dx + \int_{f(0)}^{f(\frac{1}{2})}f^{-1}(x)dx\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)f(\(\frac{1}{2}\)) - 0f(0) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)(e - 1)

⇒ \(\displaystyle \int_0^\frac{1}{2} e^{2x}+4x-3dx + \int_{-2}^{e-1}f^{-1}(x)dx\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)(e - 1)

⇒ \(\frac{1}{2}\)(e - 3) + \(\displaystyle \int_{-2}^{e-1}f^{-1}(x)dx\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)(e - 1)

⇒ \(\displaystyle \int_{-2}^{e-1}f^{-1}(x)dx\) = 1

∴ The value of \(\displaystyle \int_{-2}^{e-1}f^{-1}(x)dx\) is 1.

m2 + n2 – m – n = 46 
m2 + n2 + m + n = 64 
m2 + n2 + mn = 68 
m2 + n2 – mn = 39 
Solution

Calculation:

Given, x + y + z = 4,

2x + 5y + 5z = 17,

x + 2y + mz = n

∴ D = \(\left|\begin{array}{ccc} 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 2 & 5 & 5 \\ 1 & 2 & \mathrm{~m} \end{array}\right|\) = 0 

⇒ 1(5m - 10) - 1(2m - 5) + 1(4 - 5) = 2 

⇒ m = 2

Also, Dz\(\left|\begin{array}{ccc} 1 & 1 & 4 \\ 2 & 5 & 17 \\ 1 & 2 & n \end{array}\right|\) = 

⇒ 1(5n - 34) - 1(2n - 17) + 4(4 - 5) = 0

 n = 7

∴ m2 + n2 – mn = 22 + 42 – 14 = 4 + 49 – 14 = 39

∴ P(E)

 \(\sum_{i=1}^{6} P(E \cap A_i) \)

 \(\frac{1}{6} \left[ \frac{6}{10} + \frac{15}{45} + \frac{20}{120} + \frac{15}{210} + \frac{6}{252} + \frac{1}{210} \right] \)

Solution

Calculation:

Given: Z = ax + 3ay is maximum at points (1, 3) and (3, 9).

  • If the objective function is maximum at points (1, 3) and (3, 9), we can write  the following:

⇒ 1 × a + 3 × 3 = 3 × a + 9 × 3

⇒ a + 9 = 3a + 27

⇒ a = - 9

  • The objective function is given by -9x + 3y.
  • Putting any of the points out of (1, 3) and (3, 9) will give the maximum value.
  • Hence the maximum value will be given by,

⇒ Zmax  = - 9 × 3 + 9 × 3

⇒ Zmax  = -27 + 27 = 0

Calculation:

 f(x) = \(\rm \left\{\begin{matrix} \rm 12x + 3 λ, \, x\ne1 \\ \rm 0, \, x=1 \end {matrix} \right.\)

Since, f(x) is continuous at x  =1

Solution

Given:

Set \( A = \{1, 2, 3\} \)

We need to find the number of non-empty equivalence relations on set \( A \).

Concept:

The number of equivalence relations on a set is equal to the number of partitions of the set. The number of partitions of a set with \( n \) elements is given by the Bell number, \( B_n \).

Formula Used:

The Bell number, \( B_n \), for \( n = 3 \) is calculated using:

\( B_n = \sum_{k=0}^{n} S(n, k) \), where \( S(n, k) \) is the Stirling number of the second kind.

Calculation:

The partitions of set \( A = \{1, 2, 3\} \) are:

1. One subset: \( \{\{1, 2, 3\}\} \)

2. Two subsets: \( \{\{1\}, \{2, 3\}\}, \{\{2\}, \{1, 3\}\}, \{\{3\}, \{1, 2\}\} \)

3. Three subsets: \( \{\{1\}, \{2\}, \{3\}\} \)

Total number of partitions = \( B_3 = 1 + 3 + 1 = 5 \).

\( \therefore \) The number of non-empty equivalence relations on set \( A \) is 5.

The value of the limit \(\lim_{x\rightarrow0}\frac{\sin 3x-3\sin x}{x^3}\) is:

Solution

Concept:

  • Limit of f(x) at x = a is said to exist if the function approaches the same value from both sides.
  • \(\rm \displaystyle\lim_{x\rightarrow a}\) f(x) = exist if LHL = RHL at x = a
  • L'Hôpital's rule : \(\lim_{x \to a} \frac{f(x)}{g(x)} = \lim_{x \to a} \frac{f'(x)}{g'(x)} \) if the limit on the right exists. L'Hôpital's rule can be used when we encounter an indeterminate form like \((\frac{0}{0}) or (\frac{\infty}{\infty})\)

 

Calculation:

Consider the limit:

\(\rm \displaystyle\lim_{x\rightarrow0}\frac{\sin(3x)-3\sin(x)}{x^3}\)

We have an indeterminate form  \((\frac{0}{0})\) 

Apply L'Hôpital's rule:

\(\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin 3x - 3 \sin x}{x^3} = \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\cos 3x - \cos x}{x^2} \)

We still have an indeterminate form  \((\frac{0}{0})\) as both cos 3x and cos x approach 1 as \(x \to 0 \).

So, let's apply L'Hôpital's rule again.

\( \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\cos 3x - \cos x}{x^2} = \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{-3 \sin 3x + \sin x}{2x} \)

We still get the indeterminate form \((\frac{0}{0})\), so we need to apply L'Hôpital's rule one more time.

⇒ \( \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{-3 \sin 3x + \sin x}{2x} = \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{-9 \cos 3x + \cos x}{2} \)

⇒ \(\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{-9 \cos 3x + \cos x}{2}\) = \(\frac{-9 \cdot 1 + 1}{2}\) = \(\frac{-9 + 1}{2}\) =  -4 

So, the value of the limit is: -4

Option 2 is correct

Let A be the region enclosed by the parabola y2 = 4x and x = 12. The maximum area of a rectangle inscribed in the region A is:
64
128
256
512
Solution

Calculation:

Given y2 = 4x

⇒ a = 1

∴ A = 4t(12 - t2) = 48t - 4t3  

For maximum area, \(\frac{dA}{dt}\) = 0

⇒ 48 - 12t2

⇒ t2 = 4

⇒ t = 2, - 2

Now,  \(\frac{d^2A}{dt^2}\) = - 24t

At t = 2, \(\frac{d^2A}{dt^2}\) < 0

⇒ t = 2 is the point of maxima.

∴ Amax4×2(12 - 22) = 8(12 - 4) = 64 sq. units

∴ The maximum area is 64.

The correct answer is Option 1.

\(x-\tan ^{-1} \frac{4}{3}\)
\(x-\tan ^{-1} \frac{5}{12}\)
\( x+\tan ^{-1} \frac{4}{5}\)
\(x+\tan ^{-1} \frac{5}{12}\)
Solution

Calculation

\(\frac{\pi}{2} \leq x \leq \frac{3 \pi}{4}\)

\(\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{12}{13} \cos x+\frac{5}{13} \sin x\right)\)

⇒ cos–1 (cosx cosα + sinx sinα)

⇒ cos–1 (cos(x – α)) 

⇒ x – α because x – α ∈ \(\left(-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)\)

If y = (xx)x, then which one of the following is correct ?
\(\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}\) + xy(1 + 2 ln x) = 0
\(\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}\) − xy(1 + 2 ln x) = 0
\(​\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}\) − 2xy(1 + ln x) = 0
\(​\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}\) + 2xy(1 + ln x) = 0
Solution

Concept:

  • \({d \over dx} (p(x) q(x)) = p'(x) q(x) + p(x)q'(x)\)
  • \({d \over dx} (f(g(x)) = f'(g(x))g'(x)\)

Calculation:

If y = (xx)x

Taking log both sides,

⇒ log y = log (xx)x

⇒ log y = x log (xx)

⇒ log y = x.x log x,

⇒ log y = xlog x,

Now differentiating both sides with respect to x,

⇒ \({1 \over y}{dy \over dx} = 2x \log x + x^2 .{1 \over x}\)

⇒ \({dy \over dx} = 2xy \log x + xy\)

⇒ \({dy \over dx} - xy (1 + 2\ln x) = 0\)

∴ The correct answer is option (2).

unit matrix
Solution

Given:

Two matrices A and B of same order is given.

Concept Used:

A' = A, then A will be a symmetric matrix,

A' = - A, then A will be a skew- symmetric matrix.

Solution:

We have, 

(AB' - BA') if we calculate (AB' - BA')'

⇒ (AB' - BA')' = (AB')' - (BA')'

⇒ (AB' - BA')' = (B')' A' - (A')' B'  {(AB)' = B'A'}

⇒ (AB' - BA')" = B A' - A B'    {(A')' = A}

⇒ (AB' - BA')' = - (AB' - BA')

Hence (AB' - BA') is skew-symmetric matrix.

\(\therefore\) Option 1 is correct.

Solution

Calculation:

Given, x = 2t2 - 4t + 3 and y = t3 - 4t2 + 6  

∴ \(\frac{dx}{dt}\) = 4t - 4

⇒ \(\frac{dx}{dt} \bigg|_{t=2}\) = 4(2) - 4 = 4

Also, \(\frac{dy}{dt}\) = 3t2 - 8t

⇒ \(\frac{dy}{dt} \bigg|_{t=2}\) = 3(2)2 - 8(2) = - 4

∴ \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = \(\frac{\frac{dy}{dt}}{\frac{dx}{dt}}\) = - 4/4 = - 1

∴ The slope of the tangent to the curve x = 2t2 - 4t + 3 and y = t3 - 4t2 + 6 at t = 2 is

\(A=R \backslash\left\{-\frac{5}{3}\right\} \text { and } B=R \backslash\left\{\frac{2}{3}\right\}\)
Solution

Concept:

CodomainA codomain is the group of possible values that the dependent variable can take.

Range - The range is all the elements from set B that have the corresponding pre-image in set A.

Calculation:

Given, \(f(x)=\frac{2 x+3}{3 x+5}, x \in A\)

For f(x) to be defined, 3x + 5 ≠ 0

⇒ x = \(-\frac{5}{3}\)

∴ A = \(R \backslash\left\{-\frac{5}{3}\right\}\)

Now, y = f(x) is onto

⇒ y = \(\frac{2 x+3}{3 x+5}\)

⇒ 3xy + 5y = 2x + 3

⇒ 3xy - 2x = 3 - 5y

⇒ x(3y - 2) = 3 - 5y

⇒ x = \(\frac{3-5y}{3y-2}\)

For x to be defined for \(R \backslash\left\{\frac{2}{3}\right\}\)

Since, for onto functions co-domain = range

∴ B = \(R \backslash\left\{\frac{2}{3}\right\}\)

∴ \(A=R \backslash\left\{-\frac{5}{3}\right\} \text { and } B=R \backslash\left\{\frac{2}{3}\right\}\)

⇒ f'(x) = 3x2 + 12x - 36

= 3(x+ 4x - 12)

For f(x) to be increasing,

f'(x) > 0

⇒ 3 (x2 + 4x - 12) > 0

⇒ x+ 4x - 12 > 0

⇒ (x + 6) (x - 2) > 0

\(\pi\)

Solution

Calculation

Given \(f(x)=|\sin 4x|+|\cos 2x|\)

\(\Rightarrow\sqrt { \sin ^{ 2 }{ 4x } } +\sqrt { \cos ^{ 2 }{ 2x } } \)

\(\Rightarrow\sqrt { \cfrac { 1-\cos { 8x } }{ 2 } } +\sqrt { \cfrac { 1+\cos { 4x } }{ 2 } } \)

Now, period of \( \sqrt { \cfrac { 1-\cos { 8x } }{ 2 } } \) is \(\cfrac{\pi}{4}\)

Period of \(\sqrt { \cfrac { 1+\cos { 4x } }{ 2 } } \) is \( \cfrac{\pi}{2}\).

LCM of \( \cfrac{\pi}{4}\) and \(\cfrac{\pi}{2}\) is \( \cfrac{\pi}{2}\).

For y = cos–1 x:

  • Domain = [– 1, 1]
  • Range = \(\left[0,\pi\right]\)

Calculation:

For sin–1 (x – 1) to be defined, – 1 ≤ x – 1 ≤ 1

⇒ 0 ≤ x ≤ 2

For cos–1 (x – 3) to be defined, – 1 ≤ x – 3 ≤ 1

⇒ 2 ≤ x ≤ 4

 Possible value of x is x = 2

∴ sin–1 (x – 1) + cos–1 (x – 3) + tan–1 \(\left(\frac{x}{2-x^2}\right)\) = cos–1 k + π

⇒ sin–1 (2 – 1) + cos–1 (x – 2) + tan–1 \(\left(\frac{2}{2-2^2}\right)\) = cos–1 k + π

⇒ sin–1 (1) + cos–1 (– 1) + tan–1 (– 1= cos–1 k + π

⇒ π/2 + π – π/4 = cos–1 k + π

⇒ cos–1 k = π/4

Calcuation:

Given, \(\frac{2-x}{3}=\frac{3 y-2}{4 \lambda+1}=4-z\) …(1)

⇒ \(\frac{x-2}{(-3)}=\frac{y-\frac{2}{3}}{\left(\frac{4 \lambda+1}{3}\right)}=\frac{z-4}{(-1)}\)

⇒ \(\vec{a_2}=3\mu\hat{i}-3\hat{j}-7\hat{k}\)

Since, the lines are at right angle

⇒ \(\vec{a_2}\cdot\vec{a_2}\) = 0

⇒ (-3)(3μ) + \(\left(\frac{4 \lambda+1}{3}\right)(-3)+(-1)(-7)=0\)

Let \(\vec{a} \) = 2i – j + k

\(\vec{b} \) =i + 2j – 3k

\(\vec{c} \)= 3i + a j + 5k

\( ⃗{b} \times ⃗{c} = \begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} &\hat{j}& \hat{k}\\ 1 & 2& -3\\ 3& a& 5\\\end{vmatrix} \)

\(\hat{i}(10+3a)-\hat{j}(5+9)+\hat{k}(a-6) \)

\((10+3a)\hat{i}-14\hat{j}+(a-6)\hat{k} \)

(1, 2)
Solution

Calculation:

Given, y2 = 8x = 4⋅2x

General point is P(at2, 2at) = P(2t2, 4t)

Now, y2 = 8x 

⇒ 2yy'= 8

⇒ y' = \(\frac{4}{y} \bigg|_{(2t^2,4t)}\) = \(\frac{1}{t}\)

∴ Normal at P is give by:

(y - 4t) = - t(x - 2t2)

Since it passes through the centre, (0 - 4t) = - t(5 - 2t2)

⇒ 4 = 5 - 2t2

⇒ 2t2 = 1

⇒ t = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)

⇒ P = (2t2, 4t) = (1, 2√2)

∴ The point is (1, 22).

The correct answer is Option 2.

A cyclist starts from the point P of a circular ground of radius 2 km and travels along its circumference to the point S. The displacement of a cyclist is : 

 6 km 
\(\sqrt8\) km 
4 km 
8 km 
Solution

Concept:

Since the initial position is P with the final position S
Vector addition, the net displacement is SP = ( R2 + R2 + 2RRCosθ )1/2

Calculation:

Cosθ = 90 = 0

Displacement = R√2= 2√2 = √8 km

A coin is tossed until a head appears or until the coin has been tossed three times. Given that 'head' does not appear on the first toss, what is the probability that the coin is tossed thrice?
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{3}{8}\)
\(\frac{1}{8}\)
\(\frac{1}{4}\)
Solution

Concept Used:

Conditional Probability: \(P(A|B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}\)

Calculation

Total Possible cases

{H, TH, TTH}

P(H) = 1/2

P(TH) = \(\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{4}\)

P(TTH) = \(\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{8}\)

P(coin is tossed thrice) = P(TTH) + P(TTT) = 1/4

P(coin is tossed thrice | first toss not head) = \(\frac{1/4}{1/2} = \frac{1}{2}\)

Hence option 1 is correct

The point which does not lie in the half plane of the given constraint of a linear programming problem will be? The constraint is given as, 

7x1 + 12x2 ≥ 84

(2, 3)
(12,3)
(2,8)
(7, 7)
Solution

Concept:

Draw the constraints to find the feasible region:

  • To draw the inequalities, first, draw the equation form of the inequalities.
  • Convert all the constraints to equality and plot on the graph. Put the value of (x1, x2) obtained from the corner points of the feasible region and put it in the objective function.
  • Now check the region which we have to choose depending on the sign of inequality.
  • To check which region we need to choose put (0,0) in both the inequality. and check whether this inequality is satisfying or not.
  • If it is satisfying the inequality then take the region containing (0,0) else the opposite side of (0,0).

Calculation:

Given:

7x1 + 12x2 ≥ 84

  • Now, check all the given options by satisfying the points on this constraint.
  • We have to choose the points which do not satisfy the constraints.
  • The point (2,8) is lying in the lower plane of the given constraint so this is not satisfying the region of interest of the given constraints.

 7 × 2 + 12 × 3 ≥ 84

⇒ 50 ≥ 84 (False)

  • So,  the correct answer is option 1

Let f (x) = \(\left\{\begin{array}{cc} x^3+x^2+10 x, & x<0 \\ -3 \sin x, & x \geq 0 \end{array}\right.\), then at x = 0 
There is a point of maximum
There is a point of minimum 
There is a point of inflection 
none of these 
Solution

Concept:

The points where the f'(x) = 0 are known as critical values.

At critical point, if f ''(x) > 0 then function has minima.

If f ''(x) < 0 then function has maxima.

Calculation:

Given, f (x) = \(\left\{\begin{array}{cc} x^3+x^2+10 x, & x<0 \\ -3 \sin x, & x ≥ 0 \end{array}\right.\)

For x ≥ 0

f(x) = 3sin x

⇒ f '(x) = 3cos x

⇒ f ′(0) = − 3

For x < 0, f (x) = x3 + x2 + 10x

⇒ f ′(x) = 3x2 + 2x + 10

⇒ f ′(0) = 10

⇒ f ′(x) > 0 for x < 0 and f ′(x) < 0 for x ≥ 0

⇒ f (x) has maxima at x = 0.

∴ At x = 0, there is a point of maximum.

The correct answer is Option 1.

What is the area of the largest rectangular field which can be enclosed with 200 m of fencing? 
1600 m2
2100 m2
2400 m2
2500 m2
Solution

Calculation:

Let the length and breadth of the rectangular field be x and y respectively.

2(x + y) = 200

⇒ y = 100 − x   …(i)

Now,

Area,

A = xy

= x(100 − x)

= 100x − x2   …(ii)

Differentiate equation (ii) w.r.t  x, we get

\(\rm\frac{dA}{dx}\) = 100 − 2x

&

\(\rm\frac{d^2A}{dx^2}\) = −2 < 0 gives the maximum value of the function.

Thus, putting x = 50 in A = 100 x − x2, we get,

⇒ A = 100 × 50 − 2500 = 2500 m2

Hence, the required maximum area = 2500 m2.

The correct answer is option "4"

Let f(x) be a differentiable function defined on [0,2] such that f’(x) =f ‘(2 – x) for all x∈(0, 2), f(0) = 1 and f(2) = e2. Then the value of \(\int_0^2 f(x) d x\) is:
1 + e2
1 – e2
2(1 – e2)
2(1 + e2)
Solution

Calculation:

Given, f'(x) = f'(2 – x)

On integrating both sides, we get

⇒ f(x) = - f(2 – x) + c

Putting x = 0, we get:

f(0) + f(2) = c

⇒ c = 1+ e2

⇒ f(x) + f(2 – x) = 1 + e2

∴ I = \(\rm \int_0^2 f(x) d x\)

\(\int_0^1f(x)dx+\int_1^2f(x) d x\)

Putting x = 2 - t, in the second integral, we get

\(\rm \int_0^1f(x)dx+\int_1^0f(2-t) (-d t)\)

\(\rm \int_0^1(f(x)+f(2-x)) d x\) 

= 1 + e2 

∴ The value of \(\int_0^2 f(x) d x\) is 1 + e2.

The correct answer is Option 1.

cos(3π/4) = \(\frac{-1}{\sqrt{2}}\)

cosec(π/6) = 2

Calculation:

\(\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{-1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)+\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}(2)\)

⇒ \(\cos ^{-1}\left(cos\frac{3π}{{4}}\right)+\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}cosec(\frac{π}{6})\)

⇒ 3π/4 + π/6

⇒ \(\frac{11 \pi}{12}\)

A fair coin is tossed till two heads occur in succession. What is the probability that the number of tosses required is less than 6?  
5/64
15/32
31/64
19/32
Solution

Explanation:

A fair coin is tossed till two heads occur in succession.

Then,

P (the number of tosses required is less than 6) =  P(HH) + P(THH) + P(TTHH) + P(TTTHH)

\((\frac{1}{2})^2+(\frac{1}{2})^3+(\frac{1}{2})^4+(\frac{1}{2})^5\)

\(\frac{(\frac{1}{2})^2[ 1 -( \frac{1}{2})^4}{1-\frac{1}{2}}\)

\(\frac{\frac{1}{4}[1-\frac{1}{16}]}{\frac{1}{2}}\)

\(\frac{1}{4}\times\frac{15}{16}\times\frac{2}{1} = \frac{15}{32}\)

∴ Option (b) is correct.
