1. The sum of coefficients of even powers of x in (x+√(x3-1)6 + x-√(x3-1)6)

1. A) 23
2. B) 24
3. C) 18
4. D) 21

Solution:

1. (x+√(x3-1)6 + x-√(x3-1)6) = 2[6C0x6 +6C2x4(x3-1)+6C4x2(x3-1)2 +6C6(x3-1)3]

= 2[x6+15x4(x3-1)+15x2(x6-2x3+1)+(x3-1)3]

= 2[x6+15x7-15x4+15x8-30x5+15x2+x9-3x6+3(x3-1)]

Terms with even power of x =

$$2\left[ {{x}^{6}}-15{{x}^{4}}+15{{x}^{8}}+15{{x}^{2}}-3{{x}^{6}}-1 \right]$$

Therefore Sum of coefficients = 2(1-15+15+15-3-1) = 24

2. Let sin(α-β) = 5/13 and cos (α+β) = 3/5 where α, β ∈ (0, π/4) then tan 2α

1. A) 63/16
2. B) 61/16
3. C) 65/16
4. D) 32/9

Solution:

1. sin(α-β) = 5/13

cos (α-β) = 12/13

cos(α+β) = 3/5

sin(α+β) = 4/5

tan 2α = tan[(α+β)+(α-β)]

= (4/3)+(5/12)÷(1-(4/3)×(5/12))

= 63/16

3.The line x+y = n, n∈N, makes intercepts with x2+y2 = 16. Then the sum of squares of all possible intercepts

1. A) 105/4
2. B) 105
3. C) 210
4. D) 105/2

Solution:

1. x2+y2 = 16

Centre = (0,0)

OA = P

P = n/√2

To make the intercepts n/√2 < 4

n< 4√2

Length of intercepts = √(r2-p2)

AB = √(16-n2/2)

Length of chord BC = 2√(16-n2/2) = √(64-2n2)

Square of intercepts = (64-2n2 ), n∈N

Possible value of n = 1,2,3,4,5

Sum of square of intercepts = (64-2)+(64-8)+(64-18)+(64-32)+(64-50)

= 62+56+46+32+50

= 210

4.

1. A) x+2sin x+sin 2x+c
2. B) x+2cos x+sin 2x+c
3. C) x-2sin x+sin 2x+c
4. D) x+2sin x-sin 2x+c

Solution:

1. $$\int{\frac{\sin \frac{5x}{2}}{\sin \frac{x}{2}}}.\,dx$$
=
$$\int{\frac{2\sin \frac{5x}{2}.\cos \frac{x}{2}}{2\sin \frac{x}{2}.\cos \frac{x}{2}}}.\,dx$$

=

$$\int{\frac{\sin 3x+\sin 2x}{\sin 2\left( \frac{x}{2} \right)}}.\,dx$$

=

$$\int{\frac{\sin 3x}{\sin x}}.\,dx+\int{\frac{\sin 2x}{\sin x}}.\,dx$$

=

$$\int{\frac{3\sin x-4{{\sin }^{3}}x}{\sin x}}.\,dx+\int{\frac{2\sin x\cos x}{\sin x}}dx$$

=

$$3\int{dx-4\int{{{\sin }^{2}}x.\,dx}}+2\int \cos x dx$$

=

$$3x-4\int{\frac{1-\cos 2x}{2}}.\,dx+2\sin x$$

=

$$3x-2x+\sin 2x+2\sin x+c$$

= x+2 sinx+sin 2x +c

5. The area bounded by the curve y ≤ x2+3x, 0 ≤ y ≤ 4, 0 ≤ x ≤3 is

1. A) 59/6
2. B) 57/4
3. C) 59/3
4. D) 57/6

Solution:

1. y = x2+3x

y = 4

x2+3x= 4 = 0

x2+3x-4 = 0

x = 1 or x = -4

Area =

$$=\int\limits_{0}^{1}{\left( {{x}^{2}}+3x \right).\,dx}$$
+ area of rectangle

=

$$\left[ \frac{{{x}^{3}}}{3}+\frac{3{{x}^{2}}}{2} \right]_{0}^{1}+2\left( 4 \right)$$

= (1/3)+(3/2)+8

= 59/6

6. “If you are born in India then you are citizen of India” contrapositive of this statement is

1. A) If you are born in India then you are not citizen of India
2. B) If you are not citizen of India then you are not born in India
3. C) If you are citizen of India then you are not born in India
4. D) If you are citizen of India then you are born in India

Solution:

1. Statement:

$$p\Rightarrow q$$

Contrapositive:

$$\tilde{\ }p\Rightarrow \,\tilde{\ }q$$

Therefore answer is if you are not citizen of India then you are not born in India.

7.

$$A=\left[ \begin{matrix} \cos \alpha & -\sin \alpha \\ \sin \alpha & \cos \alpha \\ \end{matrix} \right]$$
and
$${{A}^{32}}=\left[ \begin{matrix} 0 & -1 \\ 1 & 0 \\ \end{matrix} \right]$$
. then α may be

1. A) 0
2. B) π/32
3. C) π/64
4. D) π/16

Solution:

1. A =

$$\left[ \begin{matrix} \cos \alpha & -\sin \alpha \\ \sin \alpha & \cos \alpha \\ \end{matrix} \right]$$

A2 =

$$\left[ \begin{matrix} \cos 2\alpha & -\sin 2\alpha \\ \sin 2\alpha & \cos 2\alpha \\ \end{matrix} \right]$$

An =

$$\left[ \begin{matrix} \cos \,n\alpha & -\sin \,n\alpha \\ \sin \,n\alpha & \cos \,n\alpha \\ \end{matrix} \right]$$

cos 32α = 0 and sin 32α = 1

32α = π/2

α = π/64

8. Shortest distance between the curves y2 = x-2 and y = x is

1. A) greater than 4
2. B) less than 2
3. C) greater than 3
4. D) greater than 2

Solution:

1. y2 = x-2

Differentiating we get,

2y (dy/dx) = 1

(dy/dx) = 1/2y

Slope of the line y = x is 1.

Slope of the tangent to the curve = 1/2y

1/2y = 1

→ y = 1/2

→ K = 1/2

∴ N = (9/4, 1/2)

Minimum distance = MN = perpendicular distance from point N to line y = x

$$\left| \frac{a{{x}_{1}}+b{{y}_{1}}+c}{\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}} \right|$$
=
$$\left| \frac{1\left( \frac{9}{4} \right)-1\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}{\sqrt{1+1}} \right|$$

= 7/4√2 which is less than 2.

9.

1. A) √2
2. B) 2
3. C) 4
4. D) 4√2

Solution:

1. Rationalise the denominator

$$\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{{{\sin }^{2}}x\left[ \sqrt{2}+\sqrt{1+\cos x} \right]}{2-\left( 1+\cos x \right)}$$

=

$$\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{{{\sin }^{2}}x\left( \sqrt{2}+\sqrt{1+\cos x} \right)}{1-\cos x}$$

=

$$\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{Lt}}\,\frac{{{\sin }^{2}}x\left( \sqrt{2}+\sqrt{1+\cos x} \right)}{2{{\sin }^{2}}\frac{x}{2}}$$

=

$$\underset{x\to 0}{\mathop{Lt}}\,\frac{{{\sin }^{2}}x}{{{x}^{2}}}.\frac{1}{2}\frac{1}{{{\left( \frac{\sin \frac{x}{2}}{\frac{x}{2}} \right)}^{2}}\times \frac{1}{4}}\left( \sqrt{2}+\sqrt{1+\cos x} \right)$$

= (4/2) √2+√(1+1)

= 4√2

1. A) 160
2. B) 175
3. C) 180
4. D) 220

Solution:

1. Even places = 4

Odd numbers = 3

Even numbers = 6

Therefore number of numbers =

$$=4{{c}_{3}}\times \frac{3!}{2!}\times \frac{6!}{4!2!}=180$$

11. Let g(x) = ln x and

$$f\left( x \right)=\left( \frac{1-x\cos x}{1+x\cos x} \right)$$

1. A) ln 1
2. B) ln 2
3. C) ln e
4. D) ln 4

Solution:

1. g(f(x)) =

$$g\left[ \frac{1-x\cos x}{1+x\cos x} \right]$$

=

$$\ell n\left( \frac{1-x\cos x}{1+x\cos x} \right)$$

I =

$$\int\limits_{-\frac{\pi }{4}}^{\frac{\pi }{4}}{g\left[ f\left( x \right) \right]}$$

=

$$\int\limits_{-\frac{\pi }{4}}^{\frac{\pi }{4}}{\ell n\left( \frac{1-x\cos x}{1+x\cos x} \right)}\,dx$$
..(1)

We have

$$\int\limits_{a}^{b}{f\left( x \right)}=\int\limits_{a}^{b}{f\left( a+b-x \right)}$$

I =

$$\int\limits_{-\frac{\pi }{4}}^{\frac{\pi }{4}}{\ell n\left( \frac{1+x\cos x}{1-x\cos x} \right)}$$
..(2)

2I =

$$\int\limits_{-\frac{\pi }{4}}^{\frac{\pi }{4}}{\left[ \ell n\left( \frac{1+x\cos x}{1-x\cos x} \right)+\left( \frac{1-x\cos x}{1+x\cos x} \right) \right]}\,dx$$

=

$$\int\limits_{-\frac{\pi }{4}}^{\frac{\pi }{4}}{\ell n}\left( \frac{1+x\cos x}{1-x\cos x}.\frac{1-x\cos x}{1+x\cos x} \right)\,dx$$

Because log ab = log a + log b

2I =

$$\int\limits_{-\frac{\pi }{4}}^{\frac{\pi }{4}}{\ell n}\,1=0$$

=

$$\sum\limits_{r=0}^{20}{\left( 3r+2 \right)20{{C}_{r}}}$$

=

$$3\sum\limits_{r=0}^{20}{r.\,20{{C}_{r}}}+2.\sum\limits_{r=0}^{20}{20{{C}_{r}}}.$$

=

$$3.20\sum\limits_{r=1}^{20}{19{{C}_{r-1}}+2\left( 20{{C}_{0}}+20{{C}_{1}}+...+20{{C}_{20}} \right)}$$

= 60.219+2.220

1. A) 1121
2. B) 3210

4. D) 1520

Solution:

1. Given numbers: 101, 102, 103, … 198, 199

91=13 × 7

HCF of 91 and a number is more than 1 means the number should be either multiple of 7 or 13.

Therefore sum of the numbers = (Numbers divisible by 7) + (Numbers divisible by 13) – (Numbers divisible by 91)

= (105+112+...+196 +( 104+117+...195 )-( 182)

= (14/2)[105+196]+(8/2)[104+195]-182

= 7(301)+4(299)-182

= 2107+1196-182

= 3121

14. If mean and variance of 7 variates are 8 and 16 respectively and five of them are 2, 4, 10, 12, 14 then the product of remaining two variates is

1. A) 49
2. B) 48
3. C) 45
4. D) 40

Solution:

1. Let the remaining two variates be x and y

Given mean = 8

(x+y+2+4+10+12+14)/7 = 8

x+y+42 = 56

x+y = 14 ..(1)

Given variance = 16

[(x2+y2+4+16+100+144+196)/7] - 82 = 16

(x2+y2+460)/7 = 80

(x2+y2+460) = 560

(x2+y2) = 100 ..(2)

(x+y)2-2xy = 100

Substitute (1) in above equation

142-2xy = 100

196-2xy = 100

2xy = 96

xy = 48

Solution:

1. x2-2x+2 = 0

x2-2x+1+1 = 0

(x-1)2 = -1

(x-1) = ±i

x = 1+i or 1-i

Let α = 1+i

β = 1-i

(α/β) = (1+i)/(1-i)

= (1+i)2/2

= (1+i2+2i)/2

= (1-1+2i)/2

= i

(α/β)n = in = 1

Least value of n is 4.

$$\frac{dy}{dx}+\frac{2x}{{{x}^{2}}+1}.\,y=\frac{1}{{{\left( {{x}^{2}}+1 \right)}^{2}}}$$

dy/dx +Py = Q

P = 2x/x2+1

Q = 1/(x2+1)2

I.F =

$$e^{\int \frac{2x}{1+x^{2}}}dx$$

= 1+x2

The general solution of linear differential equation is

y.(I.F) =

$$\int Q.(I.F)dx+C$$

y(1+x2) =

$$\int \frac{1}{1+x^{2}}dx+C$$

= tan-1 x+C

At x = 0, y = 0

0(1) = tan-10+C

C = 0

y.(x2+1) = tan-1x

put x = 1

y.(2) = tan-11

y.(2) = π/4

y = π/8

(1/4)y = π/32

i.e √a = ¼

a = 1/16

=

$$\log \left( \frac{1+{{x}^{2}}-2x}{1+{{x}^{2}}+2x} \right)$$

=

$$\log {{\left( \frac{1-x}{1+x} \right)}^{2}}$$

=

28. If the tangents on the ellipse 4x2+y2 = 8 at the points (1,2) and (a,b) areperpendicular to each other, then a2 is equal to

1. A) 2/17
2. B) 64/17
3. C) 128/17
4. D) 4/17

Solution:

1. The equation of the ellipse 4x2+y2 = 8

dy/dx = -4x/y

The tangent at (1,2) and (a,b) are perpendicular

(-y/2)(-4a/b) = -1

b = -8a ..(i)

(a,b) is on the ellipse.

4a2+b2 = 8 [from eq(i)]

4a2+64a2 = 8

a2 = 8/68 = 2/17

29. Find the magnitude of projection of vector

$$2\hat{i}+3\hat{j}+\hat{k}$$
on a vector which is perpendicular to the plane containing vectors
$$\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}$$
and
$$\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+3\hat{k}$$

1. A) √3/2
2. B) √(3/2)
3. C) 3√6
4. D) √6

Solution:

1. The vector perpendicular to given vectors is

$$\vec{a}=\begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k}\\ 1 & 1 & 1\\ 1 & 2 & 3 \end{vmatrix}$$

So

$$\vec{a}= \hat{i}-2\hat{j}+\hat{k}$$

Projection of vector b in direction of vector a =

$$\frac{\left | \vec{a} .\vec{b}\right |}{\left | \vec{a} \right |}$$

=

$$\frac{\left | (\hat{i}-2\hat{j}+\hat{k} ).(2\hat{i}+3\hat{j}+\hat{k})\right |}{\left | \sqrt{6} \right |}$$

= 2-6+1/√6

= 3/√6

= √(3/2)

30. If α = cos-1(3/5), β = tan-1 (1/3), where 0<α, β < π/2, then α-β is equal to:

1. A) tan-1(9/5√10)
2. B) sin-1(9/5√10)
3. C) tan-1(9/15)
4. D) cos-1(9/5√10)

Solution:

1. α = cos-1(3/5) = tan-1(4/3)

β = tan-1 (1/3)

α-β = tan-1(4/3) - tan-1 (1/3)

=

$$\tan ^{-1}\left ( \frac{\frac{4}{3}-\frac{1}{3}}{1+\frac{4}{3}\times \frac{1}{3}} \right )$$

=

$$\tan ^{-1}\left ( \frac{1}{1+\frac{4}{9}} \right )$$

= tan-1(9/13)

=

$$\sin ^{-1}\frac{9}{\sqrt{13^{2}+9^{2}}}$$

= sin-1(9/√250)

= sin-1(9/5√10)
