Question 1. If C be the centroid of the triangle having vertices (3, -1), (1, 3) and (2, 4). Let P be the point of intersection of the lines x + 3y – 1 = 0 and 3x – y + 1 = 0, then the line passing through the points C and P also passes through the point:
a) (-9, -7)
b) (-9, -6)
c) (7, 6)
d) (9, 7)

Coordinates of C are ((3+1+2)/3 , (-1+3+4)/3) = (2,2)

Point of intersection of two lines

x + 3y – 1 = 0 and 3x – y + 1 = 0 is P(-1/5, 2/5).

Equation of line CP is 8x-11y+6 = 0

Point (-9,-6) lies on CP.

Answer:(b)

Question 2. The product 21/4×41/16×81/48×161/128… ..∞ to is equal to
a) 21/4
b) 2
c) 21/2
d) 1

21/4×41/16×81/48×161/128… ∞= 21/4×22/16×23/48×….∞

21/4×21/8×21/16×… ∞= 21/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 …∞

\(\begin{array}{l}2^{\left ( \frac{\frac{1}{4}}{1-\frac{1}{2}} \right )}\end{array} \)

= √2

Answer: (c)

Question 3. A spherical iron ball of 10 cm radius is coated with a layer of ice of uniform thickness that melts at the rate of 50 cm3/min. When the thickness of ice is 5 cm, then the rate (in cm/min.) at which the thickness of ice decreases, is:
a) 5/6π
b) 1/54π
c) 1/36π
d) 1/18π

Let thickness of ice be 𝑥 cm.

Therefore, net radius of sphere = (10+𝑥) cm

Volume of sphere V = (4π/3)(10+𝑥)3

⇒dV/dt = 4𝜋(10+𝑥)2 dx/dt

At x = 5, dV/dt = 50 cm3/min

⇒ 50 = 4π×225×𝑑x/𝑑t

dx/dt = 1/18π cm/min

Answer: (d)

Question 4. Let f be any function continuous on [𝑎,𝑏] and twice differentiable on (𝑎,𝑏). If for all 𝑥∈(𝑎,𝑏),f’(x)> 0 and f’’(x) < 0, then for any c ∈ (a,b), (f(c) – f(a)])- (f(b) – f(c)]) is greater than:
a) (b-c)/(c-a)
b) 1
c) (c-a)/(b-c)
d) (b+a)/(b-a)

c∈(a,b) and f is twice differentiable and continuous function on (𝑎,𝑏)

LMVT is applicable.

For p ∈ (a,c) f’(𝑝) = (f(𝑐)−𝑓(𝑎))/(𝑐−𝑎)

For q ∈ (c,b), f’(q) = (f(b)-f(c)/(b-c)

f’’(x) < 0 f’(x) is decreasing

f’(p) > f’(q)

(f(c) – f(a))/(c-a) > (f(b) – f(c))/(b-c)

(f(c) – f(a))/ (f(b) – f(c)) > (c-a)/(b-c) (as f’(x)>0 f(x) is increasing.

Answer: (c)

Question 5. The value of cos3 (π/8) cos (3π/8) + sin3 (π/8) sin (3π/8) is:
a) 1/4
b) 1/2√2
c) 1/2
d) 1/√2

cos3 (π/8) cos (3π/8) + sin3 (π/8) sin (3π/8) = cos3 (π/8) [ 4 cos3 (π/8) – 3 cos (π/8)] + sin3 (π/8)[ 3 sin (π/8) – 4 sin3 (π/8)]

= 4[cos6 (π/8) – sin6 (π/8)] + 3[sin4 (π/8) – cos4(π/8)]

= 4[cos2 (π/8) – sin2 (π/8)] [cos4 (π/8) + sin4 (π/8) + cos2 (π/8) sin2 (π/8)] -3[cos2 (π/8) – sin2 (π/8)]

= [cos2 (π/8) – sin2 (π/8)][4(1-cos2(π/8) sin2 (π/8) -3]

= cos (π/4)[1- sin2 (π/4)]

= 1/2√2

Answer: (c)

Question 6. The number of real roots of the equation, e4x + e3x – 4e2x + 1 = 0 is
a) 3
b) 4
c) 1
d) 2

e4x + e3x – 4e2x + ex + 1 = 0

e2x + ex – 4 + (1/ex) + (1/e2x) = 0

(e2x + (1/e2x)) + (ex + 1/ex) – 4 = 0

(ex + 1/ex)2 – 2 + (ex + 1/ex) – 4 = 0

Let (ex + 1/ex) = u

Then u2 + u – 6 = 0

u = 2, -3

u ≠ -3 as u > 0 ( since ex > 0)

(ex + 1/ex) = 2

(ex – 1)2 = 0

ex = 1

x = 0

Hence, only one real solution is possible.

Answer: (c)

Question 7. The value of
\(\begin{array}{l}\int_{0}^{2\pi }\frac{x\sin ^{8}x}{\sin ^{8}x+\cos ^{8}x}dx\end{array} \)
is equal to

a) 2
b) 4
c) 22
d) π2

Let I =

\(\begin{array}{l}\int_{0}^{2\pi }\frac{x\sin ^{8}x}{\sin ^{8}x+\cos ^{8}x}dx\end{array} \)
…(i)

I =

\(\begin{array}{l}\int_{0}^{2\pi }\frac{(2\pi -x)\sin ^{8}(2\pi -x)}{\sin ^{8}(2\pi -x)+\cos ^{8}(2\pi -x)}dx\end{array} \)

=

\(\begin{array}{l}\int_{0}^{2\pi }\frac{(2\pi -x)\sin ^{8}x}{\sin ^{8}x+\cos ^{8}x}dx\end{array} \)
..(ii)

Adding (i) and (ii)

\(\begin{array}{l}2I = 2\pi \int_{0}^{2\pi }\frac{\sin ^{8}x}{\sin ^{8}x+\cos ^{8}x}dx\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}I = \pi \int_{0}^{2\pi }\frac{\sin ^{8}x}{\sin ^{8}x+\cos ^{8}x}dx\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}I = 4\pi \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi }{2} }\frac{\sin ^{8}x}{\sin ^{8}x+\cos ^{8}x}dx\end{array} \)
…(iii)

\(\begin{array}{l}I = 4\pi \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi }{2} }\frac{\sin ^{8}(\frac{\pi }{2}-x)}{\sin ^{8}(\frac{\pi }{2}-x)+\cos ^{8}(\frac{\pi }{2}-x)}dx\end{array} \)

=

\(\begin{array}{l}4\pi \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi }{2} }\frac{\cos ^{8}x}{\sin ^{8}x+\cos ^{8}x}dx\end{array} \)
..(iv)

Adding (iii) and (iv), we get:

\(\begin{array}{l}I = 2\pi \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi }{2} }1dx = 2\pi \times \frac{\pi }{2}=\pi ^{2}\end{array} \)

Answer: (d)

Question 8. If for some α and β in 𝑅, the intersection of the following three planes

x + 4y − 2z = 1

x + 7y − 5z =β

x + 5y + αz = 5

is a line in 𝑅3, then α+β is equal to:


a) 0
b) 10
c) -10
d) 2

The given planes intersect in a line

D = Dx = Dy = Dz = 0

D = 0

\(\begin{array}{l}\begin{vmatrix} 1 &4 & -2\\ 1 &7 & -5\\ 1 & 5& \alpha \end{vmatrix} = 0\end{array} \)

7α + 25 – 4α -20 + 4 = 0

α= -3

Dz = 0

\(\begin{array}{l}\begin{vmatrix} 1 &4 & 1\\ 1 &7 & \beta \\ 1 & 5& 5 \end{vmatrix} = 0\end{array} \)

35 – 5β -20 + 4β -2 = 0

β= 13

α+ β= 10

Answer: (b)

Question 9. If e1 and e2 are the eccentricities of the ellipse, (x2/18) + (y2/4) = 1 and the hyperbola, (x2/9) -(y2/4) =1 respectively and (e1 , e2) is a point on the ellipse, 15x2 + 3y2 = k. Then k is equal to:
a) 14
b) 15
c) 17
d) 16

e1 = √(1-(4/18))

= √7/3

e2 = √(1+(4/9))

= √13/3

Since (e1, e2) lies on the ellipse 15x2 + 3y2 = k

15×(7/9) + 3×(13/9) = k

k = 16

Answer: (d)

is continuous at x = 0 then a + 2b is equal to:

a) -2
b) 1
c) 0
d) 1

f(x) is continuous at x = 0

\(\begin{array}{l}\lim_{x\to0^{-}}f(x)= b= \lim_{x\to0^{+}}f(x)\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}b = \lim_{h\to0}f(0+h)= \lim_{h\to0}\frac{(h+3h^{2})^{\frac{1}{3}}-h^{\frac{1}{3}}}{h^{\frac{4}{3}}}\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}b = \lim_{h\to0} \frac{h^{\frac{1}{3}\left [ (1+3h)^{\frac{1}{3}}-1\right ]}}{h\frac{4}{3}}\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}b = \lim_{h\to0} \frac{(1+3h)^{\frac{1}{3}}-1}{h}\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}b = \lim_{h\to0} \frac{1}{3}(1+3h)^{\frac{-2}{3}}\times 3\end{array} \)

Or b = 1.

\(\begin{array}{l}\lim_{x\to0^{-}} f(x)=1\Rightarrow \lim_{h\to0}\frac{\sin ((a+2)(-h))+\sin (-h)}{-h}= 1\end{array} \)

a + 3 = 1 a = -2

a + 2b = 0

Answer: (c)

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{\left | adj \: B \right |}{\left | C \right |}\end{array} \)
is equal to

a) 16
b) 2
c) 8
d) 72

A =

\(\begin{array}{l}\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 &2 \\ 1& 3&4 \\ 1 & -1&3 \end{bmatrix}\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}\left | A \right |= \begin{vmatrix} 1 & 1 & 2\\ 1& 3 & 4\\ 1& -1 & 3 \end{vmatrix}\end{array} \)

= 13 + 1 – 8

= 6

B = adj(A) ǀadj Bǀ = ǀadj (adj A)ǀ = ǀAǀ4 = 64

ǀCǀ = ǀ3Aǀ = 33ǀAǀ = 33 × 6

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{\left | adj \: B \right |}{\left | C \right |}\end{array} \)
= 64/(33×6)

= 8

\(\begin{array}{l}{\left | z-i\right |} = {\left | z+2i\right |}\end{array} \)

y-1 = ± (y+2)

y-1 = -y-2

b) (1/3)(f(0)+f(1/2))
c) (1/2) (f(1)+3f(1/2))
d) (1/6)(f(0)+f(1)+4f(1/2))

f(x) = a+ bx + cx2

f(0) = a, f(1) = a + b + c

f(1/2) = (c/4) + (b/2) + a

\(\begin{array}{l}\int_{0}^{1}f(x)dx = \int_{0}^{1}(a+bx+cx^{2})dx = a+\frac{b}{2}+\frac{c}{3}\end{array} \)

= (1/6) (6a + 3b + 2c)

\(\begin{array}{l}\mu = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^{10}(x_{i}-3)}{10}=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{10}x_{i}-30}{10} = 3\end{array} \)

Variance is unchanged, if a constant is added or subtracted from each observation.

λ= Var (xi-3)

= Var (xi-5)

=

Question 24. If for x ≥ 0,y = y(x) is the solution of the differential equation (1+x)dy = [(1+x)2+y-3]dx, y(2) = 0, then y(3) is equal to:

(1+x) dy/dx = [(1+x)2 + (y-3)]

(1+x) (dy/dx) -y = (1+x)2 -3

(dy/dx)-(1/1+x)y = 1+x – 3/(1+x)

I.F =

\(\begin{array}{l}e^{-\int \frac{1}{1+x}dx} = \frac{1}{1+x}\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}y\times \frac{1}{1+x} = \int 1-\frac{3}{(1+x)^{2}}dx\end{array} \)

y = x(1+x) + 3+c(1+x)

At x = 2, y = 0 we get

Here, q+2r =4

For p = 6, q = 4, r = 0, coefficient = 10!/(6!×4!) = 210

For p = 7, q = 2, r = 1, coefficient = 10!/(7!×2!×1!) = 360

For p = 8, q = 0, r = 2, coefficient = 10!/(8!×2!) = 45

Therefore, sum = 615
