1. For which of the following ordered pairs (𝜇, 𝛿), the system of linear equations

𝑥 + 2𝑦 + 3𝑧 = 1

3𝑥 + 4𝑦 + 5𝑧 = 𝜇

4𝑥 + 4𝑦 + 4𝑧 = 𝛿

is inconsistent?


a. (4, 6)
b. (3, 4)
c. (1, 0)
d. (4, 3)

D =

\(\begin{array}{l}\begin{vmatrix} 3 & 4 & 5\\ 1& 2 & 3\\ 4 & 4 & 4 \end{vmatrix}\end{array} \)

𝑅3 → 𝑅3 − 2𝑅1 + 2𝑅2

D =

\(\begin{array}{l}\begin{vmatrix} 3 & 4 & 5\\ 1& 2 & 3\\ 0 & 0 & 0 \end{vmatrix}\end{array} \)
=0

For inconsistent system, one of 𝐷𝑥, 𝐷𝑦, 𝐷𝑧 should not be equal to 0

Dx =

\(\begin{array}{l}\begin{vmatrix} \mu & 4 & 5\\ 1& 2 & 3\\ \delta & 4 & 4 \end{vmatrix}\end{array} \)

Dy =

\(\begin{array}{l}\begin{vmatrix} 3 & \mu & 5\\ 1& 2 & 3\\ 4 & \delta & 4 \end{vmatrix}\end{array} \)

Dz =

\(\begin{array}{l}\begin{vmatrix} 3 & 4 & \mu \\ 1& 2 & 1\\ 4 & 4 & \delta \end{vmatrix}\end{array} \)

For inconsistent system, 2𝜇 ≠ 𝛿 + 2

∴ The system will be inconsistent for 𝜇 = 4, 𝛿 = 3.

2. Let 𝑦 = (𝑥) be a solution of the differential equation,

\(\begin{array}{l}\sqrt{1-x^{2}}\frac{dy}{dx}+\sqrt{1-y^{2}}=0,\left | x \right |< 1\end{array} \)
.If y (1/2) = √3/2, then y(-1/√2) is equal to


a. -1/√2
b. -√3/2
c. 1/√2
d. √3/2

\(\begin{array}{l}\sqrt{1-x^{2}}\frac{dy}{dx}+\sqrt{1-y^{2}}=0,\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{dy}{\sqrt{1-y^{2}}}+ \frac{dx}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}=0\end{array} \)

sin-1y + sin-1x = c

If x = ½, y = √3/2 then,

sin-1(√3/2) + sin-1(1/2) = c

(π/3) +(π/6) = c

Therefore, c = π/2

sin-1y = π/2 – sin-1x = cos-1x

sin-1y = cos-1(1/√2)

sin-1y = π/4

y(1/√2)) = 1/√2)

3. If 𝑎, 𝑏 and 𝑐 are the greatest values of 19𝐶𝑝, 20𝐶𝑞, 21𝐶𝑟 respectively, then:
a. (a/11) = (b/22) = (c/42)
b. (a/10) = (b/11) = (c/42)
c. (a/11) = (b/22) = (c/21)
d. (a/10) = (b/11) = (c/21)

Therefore, max (19 Cp) = (19 C9) = a

max (20 Cp) = 20 C10= b

max (20 Cr) = 21 C11= c

4. Which of the following is a tautology?
a. (𝑃 ∧ (𝑃 ⟶ 𝑄)) ⟶ 𝑄
b. 𝑃 ∧ (𝑃 ∨ 𝑄)
c. (𝑄 → ( ∧ (𝑃 → 𝑄))
d. 𝑃 ∨ (𝑃 ∧ 𝑄)

(𝑃 ∧ (𝑃 ⟶ 𝑄)) ⟶ 𝑄

= (𝑃 ∧ (∽ 𝑃 ∨ 𝑄)) ⟶ 𝑄

= [(𝑃 ∧∼ 𝑃) ∨ (𝑃 ∧ 𝑄)] ⟶ 𝑄

= 𝑃 ∧ 𝑄 ⟶ 𝑄

=∼ (𝑃 ∧ 𝑄) ∨ 𝑄

=∼ 𝑃 ∨∼ 𝑄 ∨ 𝑄

= 𝑇

5. Let 𝑓: 𝐑 → 𝐑 be such that for all 𝑥 ∈ 𝐑, (21+𝑥 + 21−𝑥), f(𝑥) and (3𝑥 + 3−𝑥) are in A.P., then the minimum value of f(𝑥) is:
a. 0
b. 4
c. 3
d. 2

21−𝑥 + 21+𝑥, (𝑥), 3𝑥 + 3−𝑥 are in A.P.

\(\begin{array}{l}f(x)=\frac{3^{x}+3^{-x}+2^{1+x}+2^{1-x}}{2}=\frac{3^{x}+3^{-x}}{2}+\frac{2^{1+x}+2^{1-x}}{2}\end{array} \)

Also, Applying A.M. ≥ G.M. inequality, we get

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{3^{x}+3^{-x}}{2} \geq \sqrt{3^{x}3^{-x}}\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{3^{x}+3^{-x}}{2} \geq 1\end{array} \)
——– (1)

Applying A.M. ≥ G.M. inequality, we get

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{2^{1+x}+2^{1-x}}{2}\geq \sqrt{2^{1+x}\times 2^{1-x}}\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{2^{1+x}+2^{1-x}}{2}\geq 2\end{array} \)
——– (2)

Adding (1) and (2), we get

f(𝑥) ≥ 1 + 2 = 3

Thus, minimum value of f(𝑥) is 3.

6. The locus of a point which divides the line segment joining the point (0, −1) and a point on the parabola, 𝑥2 = 4𝑦, internally in the ratio 1: 2, is:
a. 9𝑥2 − 12𝑦 = 8
b. 4𝑥2 − 3𝑦 = 2
c. 𝑥2 − 3𝑦 = 2
d. 9𝑥2 − 3𝑦 = 2

Let point 𝑃 be (2𝑡, 𝑡2) and 𝑄 be (ℎ, 𝑘).

\(\begin{array}{l}h=\frac{2t}{3},k=\frac{-2+t^{2}}{3}\end{array} \)

Now, eliminating 𝑡 from the above equations we get:

3k+2 = (3h/2)2

Replacing ℎ and 𝑘 by 𝑥 and 𝑦, we get the locus of the curve as 9𝑥2 − 12𝑦 = 8.

7. For 𝑎 > 0, let the curves 𝐶1: 𝑦2 = 𝑎𝑥 and 𝐶2 ∶ 𝑥2 = 𝑎𝑦 intersect at origin 𝑂 and a point 𝑃. Let the line 𝑥 = 𝑏 (0 < 𝑏 < 𝑎) intersect the chord 𝑂𝑃 and the 𝑥-axis at points 𝑄 and 𝑅, respectively. If the line x = b bisects the area bounded by the curves, C1 and C2 , and the area of Δ𝑂𝑄𝑅=1/2,then‘a’ satisfies the equation
a. 𝑥6 − 12𝑥3 + 4 = 0
b. 𝑥6 − 12𝑥3 − 4 = 0
c. 𝑥6 + 6𝑥3 − 4 = 0
d. 𝑥6 − 6𝑥3 + 4 = 0

Given, (Δ𝐴𝑃𝑄)=1/2

⟹ 1/2×𝑏×𝑏=1/2

⇒𝑏=1

As per the question

\(\begin{array}{l}\int_{0}^{1}\left ( \sqrt{ax} – \frac{x^{2}}{a}\right )dx= \frac{1}{2}\int_{0}^{a}\left ( \sqrt{ax} – \frac{x^{2}}{a}\right )dx\end{array} \)

(2/3)√a – (1/3a) = a2/6

2𝑎√𝑎−1=𝑎3/2

⇒4𝑎√𝑎=2+𝑎3

⇒16𝑎3=4+𝑎6+4𝑎3

⇒𝑎6−12𝑎3+4=0

8.The inversion function of f(x) =
\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{8^{2x}-8^{-2x}}{8^{2x}+8^{-2x}},x \epsilon (-1,1), is\end{array} \)

Solved Question paper of JEE Main 2020 Maths

\(\begin{array}{l}f(x) = \frac{8^{2x}-8^{-2x}}{8^{2x}+8^{-2x}} = \frac{8^{4x-1}}{8^{4x+1}}\end{array} \)

Put, y =

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{8^{4x-1}}{8^{4x+1}}\end{array} \)

Applying componendo-dividendo on both sides

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{y+1}{y-1}=\frac{2\times 8^{4x}}{-2}\end{array} \)

84x = (1+y)/(1-y)

9.
\(\begin{array}{l}\lim_{x\rightarrow 0}\left ( \frac{3x^{2}+2}{7x^{2}+2} \right )^{1/x^{2}}\end{array} \)
is equal to

a. e
b. 1/e2
c. 1/e
d. e2

Let,L=

\(\begin{array}{l}\lim_{x\rightarrow0}\left(\frac{3x^{2}+2}{7x^{2}+2}\right)^{1/x^{2}}\end{array} \)
(intermediate from 1)

\(\begin{array}{l}L = e^{\lim_{x\rightarrow 0}\frac{1}{x^{2}}\left ( \frac{3x^{2}+2}{7x^{2}+2} -1\right )}\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}L = e^{\lim_{x\rightarrow 0}\frac{1}{x^{2}}\left ( \frac{-4x^{2}}{7x^{2}+2}\right )}\end{array} \)

= 1/e2

10. Let f(𝑥) = (sin(tan−1 𝑥) + sin(cot−1 𝑥) )2 − 1, where |𝑥| > 1.

If

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{d}{dx}(sin^{-1}f(x)))\end{array} \)
and y(√3) = π/6, then y(-(√3) is equal to:


a. π/3
b. 2π/3
c. – π/6
d. 5 π/6

f(𝑥) = [sin(tan−1 𝑥) + sin(cot−1 𝑥) ]2 -1

Put tan−1 𝑥 = 𝜙, where 𝜙 ∈ (− π/2, – π/4) ᵁ (π/4, π/2)

= [sin(tan−1 𝑥) + sin(cot−1 𝑥) 2-1 = [sin 𝜙+cos 𝜙]2-1

= 1+2sin 𝜙cos 𝜙 -1 = sin2𝜙 = (2x/1+x2)

It is given that

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{d}{dx}(sin^{-1}f(x)))\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{1}{1+x^{2}},for \left | x \right |> 1\end{array} \)

⇒ x>1 and x<-1

To get the value of (−√3), we have to integrate the value of dy/dx. To integrate the expression, the

interval should be continuous. Therefore, we have to integrate the expression in both the intervals.

⇒ 𝑦 = −tan−1 𝑥 + 𝐶1 , for 𝑥 > 1 and 𝑦 = − tan−1 𝑥 + 𝐶2, for 𝑥 < −1

For 𝑥 > 1,C1 =π/2

Since y(√3) = π/6 is given.

But 𝐶2 can’t be determined as no other information is given for 𝑥 < −1. Therefore, all the options can be true as 𝐶2 can’t be determined.

11. If the equation, 𝑥2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 45 = 0 (𝑏 ∈ 𝑹) has conjugate complex roots and they satisfy |𝑧 + 1| = 2√10 , then :
a. 𝑏2 + 𝑏 = 12
b. 𝑏2 − 𝑏 = 42
c. 𝑏2 − 𝑏 = 30
d. 2 + 𝑏 = 72

Given 𝑥2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 45 = 0, 𝑏 ∈ 𝑹, let roots of the equation be 𝑝 ± 𝑖𝑞

Then, sum of roots = 2𝑝 = −𝑏

Product of roots = 𝑝2 + 𝑞2 = 45

As 𝑝 ± 𝑖𝑞 lies on |𝑧 + 1| = 2√10, we get

(𝑝 + 1)2 + 𝑞2 = 40

⇒ 𝑝2 + 𝑞2 + 2𝑝 + 1 = 40

⇒ 45 − 𝑏 + 1 = 40

⇒ 𝑏 = 6

⇒ 𝑏2 − 𝑏 = 30.

12. The mean and standard deviation (s.d.) of 10 observations are 20 and 2 respectively. Each of these 10 observations is multiplied by 𝑝 and then reduced by 𝑞, where 𝑝 ≠ 0 and 𝑞 ≠ 0. If the new mean and standard deviation become half of their original values, then 𝑞 is equal to:
a. −20
b.−5
c. 10
d.−10

If mean 𝑥̅ is multiplied by 𝑝 and then 𝑞 is subtracted from it, then new mean

\(\begin{array}{l}\bar{x}’= p\bar{x}-q\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}\bar{x}’= \frac{1}{2}\bar{x}\end{array} \)

And x= 10

⇒ 10 = 20 p –q——–(1)

If standard deviation is multiplied by 𝑝, new standard deviation (𝜎) is |𝑝| times of the initial standard deviation (𝜎).

\(\begin{array}{l}\sigma ‘ = \left | p \right |\sigma\end{array} \)

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{1}{2}\sigma = \left | p \right |\sigma\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}\left | p \right |=1/2\end{array} \)

If p =1/2 ,q = 0

If p = -1/2 , q = -20

b. P(𝐴/𝐵′) = 1/3
c. P(𝐴/𝐵) = 2/3
d. P(A′/B′) = 1/3

If 𝑋 and 𝑌 are independent events, then

\(\begin{array}{l}P\left ( \frac{X}{Y} \right )=\frac{P(X\bigcap Y)}{P(Y)}\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}=\frac{P(X)P(Y)}{P(Y)}=P(X)\end{array} \)

Therefore,P(A/B) = P(A) = 1/3

⇒ P(A/B′) = P(A) = 1/3

JEE Main 2020 Jan Shift 1 Jan 8th Physics Questions with Solutions

Let 𝑃 ≡ (𝑥1, 𝑦1)

2𝑥2 + 𝑦2 = 1 is given equation of ellipse.

⇒ 4𝑥 + 2𝑦𝑦’=0

⇒ 𝑦′|(𝑥1,𝑦1) = −2𝑥1/𝑦1

Therefore, slope of normal at (𝑥1, 𝑦1) is 𝑦1/2𝑥1

Equation of normal at (𝑥1, 𝑦1) is

(𝑦 − 𝑦1) = (𝑦1/2𝑥1) (𝑥 − 𝑥1)

It passes through (−1/3√2, 0)⇒ −𝑦1 = 𝑦1/2𝑥1(−1/3√2− 𝑥1)

⇒ 𝑥1 =1/3√2

⇒ 𝑦1 =2√2/3

as 𝑃 lies in first quadrant

Since (0, 𝛽) lies on the normal of the ellipse at point 𝑃, hence we get

𝛽 =𝑦1/2

=√2/3

19. If 𝑐 is a point at which Rolle’s theorem holds for the function, f(𝑥) =
\(\begin{array}{l}log_{e}\left ( \frac{x^{2} + \alpha }{7x} \right )\end{array} \)
in the interval [3, 4], where 𝛼 ∈ 𝐑, then 𝑓′′(𝑐) is equal to :

a. −1/24
b. −1/12
c. √3/7
d. 1/12

Rolle’s theorem is applicable on f(𝑥) in [3, 4]

⇒ f(3) = f(4)

⇒ l

\(\begin{array}{l}In\left ( \frac{9 + \alpha }{21} \right ) = In \left ( \frac{16+\alpha }{28} \right )\end{array} \)

⇒9 + 𝛼/21 =16 + 𝛼/28

⇒ 36 + 4𝛼 = 48 + 3𝛼 ⇒ 𝛼 = 12

Now, f(𝑥) = ln ((𝑥2+12)/7𝑥) ⇒ 𝑓′(𝑥) =[7𝑥/(𝑥2+12)] ×(7𝑥×2𝑥−(𝑥2+12)×7)/(7𝑥)2

𝑓′(𝑥) =(𝑥2 – 12)/(𝑥(𝑥2 + 12))

𝑓′(𝑐) = 0 ⇒ 𝑐 = 2√3

𝑓′′(𝑥) =(−𝑥4 + 48𝑥2 + 144)/𝑥2(𝑥2 + 12)2

∴ 𝑓′′(𝑐) =1/12

20. Let f(𝑥) = 𝑥 cos−1 (sin(−|𝑥|)) , 𝑥 ∈ (− 𝜋/2 , 𝜋/2 ), then which of the following is true ?
a. 𝑓 ′ (0) = − 𝜋/2
b. 𝑓 ′ is decreasing in (− 𝜋/2 , 0) and increasing in (0, 𝜋/2 )
c. 𝑓 is not differentiable at 𝑥 = 0
d. 𝑓 ′ is increasing in (− 𝜋/2 , 0) and decreasing in (0, 𝜋/2 )

f(𝑥) = 𝑥 cos−1 (sin(−|𝑥|))

⇒ f(𝑥) = 𝑥 cos−1 (− sin |𝑥|)

⇒ f(𝑥) = [𝜋 − cos−1 (sin |𝑥|)]

⇒ f(𝑥) = 𝑥 [𝜋 − (𝜋/2 − sin−1 (sin |𝑥|))]

⇒ f(𝑥) = 𝑥 ( 𝜋/2 + |𝑥|)

𝑚normal=(( 𝑦1−3/2)/(𝑥1−0) )

∵ 𝑚normal×𝑚tangent = −1

⇒ ((3/2) − 𝑦1/−𝑥1)×(6𝑥1/1+2𝑦1) =−1

⇒𝑦1=1

⇒𝑥1=±2

Slope of tangent =±12/3 = ±4

⇒|𝑚|=4

23. The least positive value of ′𝑎′ for which the equation, 2𝑥2+(𝑎−10)𝑥+(33/2) =2𝑎 has real roots is ____________.

∵2𝑥2+(𝑎−10)𝑥+33/2=2𝑎, 𝑎 ∈ 𝐙+ has real roots

⇒𝐷≥0 ⇒(𝑎−10)2−4×2×((33/2)−2𝑎)≥0

⇒(𝑎−10)2−4(33−4𝑎)≥0

⇒a2−4𝑎−32≥0

⇒𝑎∈(−∞,−4]∪[8,∞ )

Thus, minimum value of ′𝑎′ ∀ 𝑎∈𝐙+ is 8.

25. The number of all 3×3 matrices A, with entries from the set {−1,0,1} such that the sum of the diagonal elements of (𝐴𝐴T) is 3, is __________.

Let A =

\(\begin{array}{l}\begin{vmatrix} a_{11} & a_{12} & a_{13}\\ a_{21}& a_{22} &a_{23} \\ a_{31}& a_{32} & a_{33} \end{vmatrix}\end{array} \)

And AT =

\(\begin{array}{l}\begin{vmatrix} a_{11} & a_{21} & a_{31}\\ a_{12}& a_{22} &a_{32} \\ a_{13}& a_{23} & a_{33} \end{vmatrix}\end{array} \)

(𝐴𝐴𝑇)=𝑎112+𝑎122+𝑎132+𝑎212+𝑎222+𝑎232+𝑎312+𝑎322+𝑎332=3

So out of 9 elements (𝑎𝑖𝑗)’s, 3 elements must be equal to 1 or −1 and rest elements must be 0.

So, the total possible cases will be

When there is 6(0′𝑠) and 3(1′𝑠) then the total possibilities is 9𝐶6

For 6(0′𝑠) and 3(−1′𝑠) total possibilities is 9𝐶6

For 6(0′𝑠),2(1′𝑠) and 1(−1′𝑠) total possibilities is 9𝐶6 ×3

For 6(0′𝑠),1(1′𝑠) and 2(−1′𝑠) total possibilities is 9𝐶6×3

∴ Total number of cases =9𝐶6 ×8=672
