Question 1: The value of the integral

(a) 2

(b) -2

(c) 1

(d) 3

Answer: a

Solution:

Let I = ∫₀^1/2 [(1 + √3)/(1 + x)²(1 – x)⁶]^1/4 dx

= ∫₀^1/2 (1 + √3)/(1 + x)²[(1 – x)⁶/(1 + x)⁶]^1/4 dx

Put (1 – x)/(1 + x) = t

⇒ -2dx/(1 + x)² = dt

So I = ∫₁^1/3(1 + √3)/-2t^6/4 dt

= [-(1 + √3)/2]| – 2/√t|₁^1/3

= (√3 + 1)(√3 – 1)

= 2

Hence option a is the answer.

Question 2: The integral ∫₁² e^x x^x (2 + log_ex) dx equals

(a) e(4e + 1)

(b) 4e² – 1

(c) e(4e – 1)

(d) e(2e – 1)

Answer: c

Solution:

Let I = ∫₁² e^x x^x (2 + log_ex) dx

I = ∫₁² e^x x^x [1 + (1 + log_ex)] dx

= ∫₁² e^x [x^x  + x^x(1 + log_ex)] dx

Since ∫ e^x [f(x) +f’(x)] dx = e^x f(x) + c

I = [e^x x^x]₁²

= e² × 4 – e × 1

= 4e² – e

= e(4e – 1)

Hence option c is the answer.

Question 3: The value of

(a) π²/4 – 2

(b) π²/4 + 2

(c) π²/4

(d) 0

Answer: a

Solution:

Let

Since ∫_a^bf(x) dx = ∫_a^bf(a + b – x) dx

2I = ∫_-π/2^π/2 x² cos x dx = 2∫₀^π/2 x² cos x dx

I = [x² sin x + 2x cos x – 2 sin x]₀^π/2

= π²/4 – 2

Hence option a is the answer.

Question 4: The value of ∫₀¹ 4x³ (d²/dx²)(1 – x²)⁵ dx is

(a) 2

(b) 1

(c) 3

(d) 0

Answer: a

Solution:

Use integration by parts

∫₀¹ 4x³ (d²/dx²)(1 – x²)⁵ dx = [4x³ (d/dx)(1 – x²)⁵ ]₀¹ – ∫₀¹12x² (d/dx)(1 – x²)⁵ dx

= [4x³ × 5(1 – x²)(-2x)]₀¹ – 12 [[x²(1 – x²)⁵]₀¹ – ∫₀¹ 2x(1 – x²)⁵ dx]

= 0 – 0 – 12 (0 – 0) + 12 ∫₀¹ 2x(1 – x²)⁵ dx]

= 12×[- (1 – x²)⁶/6]₀¹

= 12(0 + ⅙)

= 2

Hence option a is the answer.

Question 5: The value of ∫₁^e (tan^-1x/x + log x/(1 + x²)) dx is

(a) tan e

(b) tan^-1 e

(c) tan^-1 1/e

(d) none of these

Answer: b

Solution:

Integrating by parts.

Take tan^-1 x as first function and 1/x as second function.

∫₁^e (tan^-1x/x + log x/(1 + x²)) dx = [tan^-1x log x]₁^e – ∫₁^elog x/(1 + x²) dx + ∫₁^elog x/(1 + x²) dx

= tan^-1 e

Hence option b is the answer.

Question 6: The value of the integral ∫_-π/2^π/2 (x² + ln (π + x)/(π – x)) cos x dx is

(a) 0

(b) π²/2 – 4

(c) π²/2 + 4

(d) π²/2

Answer: b

Solution:

∫_-π/2^π/2 [x² + ln (π + x)/(π – x)] cos x dx = ∫_-π/2^π/2 x² cos x dx + ∫_-π/2^π/2 ln ((π + x)/(π – x)) cos x dx

= 2∫₀^π/2 x² cos x dx + 0 (since x² cos x is even function and ln (π + x)/(π – x) cos x is an odd function.)

= 2[x² sin x + 2x cos x – 2 sin x]₀^π/2

= π²/2 – 4

Hence option b is the answer.

Question 7: Let f: R→ R be a continuous function in which f(x) = ∫₀^x f(t) dt. Then the value of f(ln 5) is

(a) 1

(b) 0

(c) 2

(d) 4

Answer: b

Solution:

f(x) = ∫₀^x f(t) dt

f’(x) = (d/dx)∫₀^x f(t) dt

Using Leibnitz theorem, we get

= (d/dx) f(x).x – (d/dx) f(0).0

= f(x)

f’(x)/f(x) = 1

Integrating both sides

ln f(x) = x + c

=> f(x) = e^x+c

= e^x. e^c

Let e^c = A

Then f(x) = Ae^x

f(0) = ∫₀⁰ f(t) dt = 0

When x = 0, y = 0, A = 0

=> f(x) = 0

f(ln 5) = 0

Hence option b is the answer.

Question 8: Let f: [0, 2] → R be a function which is continuous on [0, 2] and its differentiable on (0, 2) with f(0) = 1.

(a) e² – 1

(b) e⁴ – 1

(c) e – 1

(d) e⁴

Answer: b

Solution:

F’(x) = f(x) 2x

F’(x) = f’(x) for all x belongs to (0, 2)

⇒ f(x) 2x = f’(x)

⇒ f’(x)/f(x) = 2x

On integrating w.r.t.x,we get

ln f(x) = x² + c

Since f(0) = 1

⇒ e^c = 1

Hence,

F(2) = e⁴ – 1

Hence option b is the answer.

Question 9: The total number of distinct x ∈ [0, 1] for which ∫₀^x t²/(1 + t⁴) dt = 2x-1 is

Answer: 1

Solution:

Let f(x) = ∫₀^x t²/(1 + t⁴) dt – 2x + 1

f’(x) = x²/(1 + x⁴) – 2 < 0 for all x ∈ [0, 1]

So f is decreasing on [0, 1]

Also f(0) = 1

f(1) = ∫₀¹ t²/(1+t⁴) dt – 1

For 0≤ t ≤ 1

0≤ t²/(1+t⁴) < ½

So ∫₀¹ t²/(1+t⁴) dt < 1/2

⇒ f(1) < 0

So f(x) crosses x axis exactly once in [0, 1]

f(x) = 0 has exactly one root in [0, 1]

Question 10: If

Answer: 9

Solution:

Let 9x + 3 tan^-1 x = t

⇒ (12 + 9x²)/(1 + x²) dx = dt

So α = ∫₀^9+3π/4 e^t dt

= e^9+3π/4 – 1

α+1 = e^9+3π/4

Taking log

log_e (α + 1) = 9 + 3π/4

So (log_e |1 + α| – 3π/4) = 9
