a. If you will not earn money, you will not work
b. You will earn money, if you will not work
c. If you will earn money, you will work
d. To earn money, you need to work

Answer: (a)

Contrapositive of p → q is ~q →~p

p: you will work

q: you will earn money

~q: you will not earn money

~p: you will not work

~q →~p: if you will not earn money, you will not work

Question 3: If α, β∈ R are such that 1 – 2i (here i2 = –1) is a root of z2 + αz + β = 0, then (α – β) is equal to:


a. 7
b. -3
c. 3
d. -7

Answer: (d)

1-2i is a root of z2 + αz + β = 0.

(1-2i) 2 + α(1-2i)+β=0

⇒1-4-4i+α-2iα+β=0

⇒(α+β-3)-i(4+2α)=0

⇒α+β-3=0 & 4+2α=0

So, α=-2, β=5

Therefore, α-β=-7

Question 4: If

\(\begin{array}{l}\int_{\pi/4}^{\pi/2}cot^nx dx\end{array} \)
, then


a. 1/(I2 + I4 ) , 1/(I3 + I5 ), 1/(I4 + I6) are in G.P.
b. 1/(I2 + I4 ) , 1/(I3 + I5 ), 1/(I4 + I6) are in A.P.
c. I2 + I4 , I3 + I5 , I4 + I6) are in A.P.
d. I2 + I4 , I3 + I5 , I4 + I6) are in G.P.

Answer: (b)

\(\begin{array}{l}I_{n+2}+I_n = \int_{\pi/4}^{\pi/2}cot^nx . cosec^2x dx

=

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{-(cotx)^{n+1}}{n+1}]_{\pi/4}^{\pi/2}\end{array} \)

In+2 + In = 1/(n+1)

I2 + I4 =1/3, I3 + I5 =1/4 and I4 + I6 =1/5

So, 1/(I2 + I4 ) , 1/(I3 + I5 ) and 1/(I4 + I6) are in A.P.

Question 6: Let x denote the total number of one-one functions from a set A with 3 elements to a set B with 5 elements and y denote the total number of one-one functions from the set A to the set A × B. Then:


a. y = 273x
b. 2y = 91x
c. y = 91x
d. 2y = 273x

Answer: (b)

Number of elements in A = 3

Number of elements in B = 5

Number of elements in A × B = 15

Number of one-one function is x = 5 × 4 × 3

⇒x = 60

Number of one-one function is y = 15 × 14 × 13

⇒y = 15 × 4 × 14/4 × 13

⇒y = 60 × 7/2 × 13

⇒2y = (13)(7x)

⇒2y = 91x

Question 7: If the curve x2 + 2y2 = 2 intersects the line x + y = 1 at two points P and Q, then the angle subtended by the line segment PQ at the origin is:


a. ??/2 + tan–1(1/4)
b. ??/2 – ??????–1(1/4)
c. ??/2 + ??????–1(1/3)
d. ??/2 – ??????–1(1/3)

Answer: (a)

JEE Main Feb 2021 Solved Maths Paper

Using homogenization

x2 + 2y2 = 2(1) 2

⇒x2 + 2y2 = 2(x + y) 2

⇒x2 + 2y2 = 2x2 + 2y2 + 4xy

⇒x2 + 4xy = 0

for ax2 + 2hxy + by2 = 0, obtuse angle between lines θ is

tan θ = ±(2√(h2–ab))/(a+b)

⇒tan θ = ±4

⇒tan θ = –4

cot θ = -1/4

θ = cot–1(–1/4)

θ = π – cot–1 (1/4)

θ = π – (π/2– tan–1(1/4) )

θ = π/2 + tan-1(1/4)

Question 9: A hyperbola passes through the foci of the ellipse x2/25 + y2/16 = 1 and its transverse and conjugate axes coincide with major and minor axes of the ellipse, respectively. If the product of their eccentricities is one, then the equation of the hyperbola is:


a. x2/9 – y2/4 = 1
b. x2/9 – y2/16 = 1
c. x2 – y2 = 9
d. x2/9 – y2/25 = 1

Answer: (b)

For ellipse, e1 = √(1–16/25)=3/5

Foci = (±3,0)

Let equation of hyperbola be x2/A2 – y2/B2 = 1, passes through (±3, 0)

A2 =9, A=3, e2=5/3

e22 = 1 + B2/A2

25/9 = 1 + B2/9 ⇒B2 = 16

x2/9 – y2/16 = 1

Question 10:

\(\begin{array}{l}\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}[\frac{1}{n} + \frac{n}{(n+1)^2} + \frac{n}{(n+2)^2} +……+ \frac{n}{(2n-1)^2}]\end{array} \)

Their chances of getting a particular chest disorder are 35%, 20% and 10% respectively. A person is chosen from the group at random and is found to be suffering from chest disorder. The probability that the selected person is a smoker and non-vegetarian is:


a. 7/45
b. 8/45
c. 14/45
d. 28/45

Answer: (d)

Based on Bayes’ theorem

Probability = ((160/400×35/100))/((160/400×35/100)+(100/400×20/100)+(140/400×10/100) )

= 5600/9000

= 28/45

Question 12: The following system of linear equations

2x + 3y + 2z = 9

3x + 2y + 2z = 9

x – y + 4z = 8


a. does not have any solution
b. has a unique solution
c. has a solution (α, β, γ) satisfying α + β2 + γ3 = 12
d. has infinitely many solutions

Answer: (b)

It has unique solution.

Question 13: The minimum value of

\(\begin{array}{l}f(x) = a^{a^{x}} + a^{1-a^{x}}\end{array} \)
where a, x ∈ R and a > 0, is equal to:


a. a + 1/a
b. a + 1
c. 2a
d. 2√a

Answer: (d)

Using AM ≥ GM inequality, we get

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{a^{ax}+\frac{a}{a^{ax}}}{2}\geq \left ( a^{ax}.\frac{a}{a^{ax}} \right )^{\frac{1}{2}} \Rightarrow a^{ax} + a^{1-ax}\geq 2\sqrt{a}\end{array} \)

Question 14: A function f(x) is given by f(x) = 5x/(5x+5), then the sum of the series f(1/20) + f(2/20) + f(3/20) + …… + f(39/20) is equal to:


a. 19/2
b. 49/2
c. 39/2
d. 29/2

Answer: (c)

f(x) = 5x/(5 x + 5)….(i)

⇒ f(2–x) = 52–x/(52–x +5)

⇒f(2–x) = 5/(5x+5)……(ii)

Adding equation(i)and(ii)

f(x)+f(2–x)=1

f(1/20)+f(39/20)=1

f(2/20)+f(38/20)=1

……

…..

f(19/20) + f(21/20)=1

and f(20/20) = f(1) = 1/2

Therefore, f(1/20) + f(2/20) + f(3/20) + …… + f(39/20) = 19 + 1/2 = 39/2

Question 15: Let α and β be the roots of x2 – 6x – 2 = 0. If an = αn – βn for n ≥ 1, then the value of (a10–2a8)/(3a9 ) is:

Question 17: The shortest distance between the line x – y = 1 and the curve x2 = 2y is:


a. 1/2
b. 0
c. 1/(2√2)
d. 1/√2

Answer: (c)

Shortest distance must be along common normal

JEE Main Feb 2021 Maths Solved Question 17

m1 (slope of line x–y = 1) = 1 ⇒slope of perpendicular line =–1

m2 = 2x/2 = x ⇒ m2 = h ⇒slope of normal = –1/h

–1/h=–1 ⇒h=1

So, the point is (1,1/2)

Therefore, Shortest distance (D) =|(1–1/2–1)/√(1+1)|=1/(2√2)

Question 18: Let A be a set of all 4-digit natural numbers whose exactly one digit is 7. Then the probability that a randomly chosen element of A leaves remainder 2 when divided by 5 is:


a. 1/5
b. 2/9
c. 97/297
d. 122/297

Answer: (c)

Total cases

= 4C1 × 9 × 9 × 9 – 3C1 × 9 × 9

(as 4 digit number having 0 at thousands place have to be excluded)

For a number to have a remainder 2 when divided by 5 it’s unit digit should be 2 or 7

Case 1: when unit digit is 2

Number of four-digit number = 3C1×9×9 – 2C1×9

Case 2: when unit digit is 7

Number of four digits number = 8 × 9 × 9

So total number favorable cases = 3×92 – 2×9 + 8×92

Required Probability = ((3×9×9)–(2×9)+(8×9×9))/((4×93) – (3×92))

= 97/297

Answer: (a)

JEE Main Feb 2021 Maths Solved Question 20

Section B

Question 1: If

\(\begin{array}{l}\lim_{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{ax-(e^{4x}-1)}{ax(e^{4x}-1)}\end{array} \)
exists and is equal to b, then the value of a – 2b is ______.


Answer: 5

\(\begin{array}{l}\lim_{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{ax-(e^{4x}-1)}{ax(e^{4x}-1)}\end{array} \)

Applying L’Hospital Rule

\(\begin{array}{l}\lim_{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{a-4e^{4x}}{a(e^{4x}-1)+ax(4e^{4x})}\end{array} \)
So for limit to exist,a=4

Applying L’Hospital Rule

\(\begin{array}{l}\lim_{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{-16e^{4x}}{a(4e^{4x}) +a(4e^{4x})+ax(16e^{4x})}\end{array} \)

(-16)/(4a+4a)=(–16)/32=–1/2=b

a-2b = 4–2((–1)/2) = 4+1 = 5

Question 2: A line is a common tangent to the circle (x – 3)2 + y2 = 9 and the parabola y2 = 4x. If the two points of contact (a, b) and (c, d) are distinct and lie in the first quadrant, then 2(a+c) is equal to ______.


Answer: 9

Sol. Circle: (x – 3)2+ y2= 9

Parabola: y2 = 4x

Let common tangent equation be y = mx + a/m

⇒y = mx + 1/m

⇒m2x – my + 1 = 0

The above line is also tangent to circle

(x – 3)2 + y2= 9

Therefore, the perpendicular from (3, 0) to line = 3

⇒|(3m2 – 0 + 1)/√(m2+m4 )| = 3

⇒(3m2 + 1)2 = 9(m2 + m4)

⇒m = ±1/√3

Tangent is

y = 1/√3x + √3 (it will be used)

=> m = 1/√3

or y = –1/√3x – √3 (rejected)

JEE Main Feb 2021 Maths Solved Question Problems

For Parabola, point of contact is (a/m2 , 2a/m)= (3, 2√3) = (c, d)

Solving Circle (x – 3)2 + y2 = 9 & line equation y = (1/√3) x + √3

(x – 3)2 + ((1/√3) x + √3) 2 = 9

⇒x2 + 9 – 6x + (1/3)x2 + 3 + 2x = 9

⇒(4/3)x2 – 4x + 3 = 0

⇒x = 3/2=a

∴ 2(a + c) = 2(3/2+3)= 9

Question 3: The value of

\(\begin{array}{l}\int_{-2}^2|3x^2-3x-6|dx\end{array} \)
is ______.


Answer: 19

x2-x-2=(x–2)(x+1)

(2020 + x)2022

= (2020 + 4k + 3)2022

= (2024 + 4k – 1)2022

= (4A – 1)2022

=2022C0(4A)2022(–1)0 + 2022C1(4A)2021(–1)1 + ……+2022C2021(4A)1(–1)2021+ 2022C2022(4A)0(–1)2022

Which will be of the form 8λ+1

So, Remainder is 1.

Question 8: The total number of two digit numbers ‘n’, such that 3n+7n is a multiple of 10, is ______.


Answer: 45

Feb 2021 JEE Main Maths Paper Solutions

Let n = 2t; t ∈ N

3n = 32t = (10 – 1)t

=10p + (–1)t

= 10p ± 1

If n = even then 7n + 3n will not be multiple of 10

So, if n is odd then only 7n + 3n will be a multiple of 10

Therefore, n = 11,13,15,………..,99

Therefore, the answer is 45

Question 9: Let

\(\begin{array}{l}\vec{a} = \hat{i} +\alpha \hat{j} + 3\hat{k} \: and \: \vec{b} = 3\hat{i} -\alpha \hat{j} + \hat{k}\end{array} \)
. If the area of the parallelogram whose adjacent sides are represented by the vectors
\(\begin{array}{l}\vec{a}\end{array} \)
and
\(\begin{array}{l}\vec{a}\end{array} \)
is 8√3 square units, then
\(\begin{array}{l}\vec{a} . \vec{b}\end{array} \)
is equal to ______
.


Answer: 2

Area of parallelogram =

\(\begin{array}{l}|\vec{a} \times \vec{b}|\end{array} \)

=

\(\begin{array}{l}|(\hat{i} + \alpha \hat{j} + 3 \hat{k}) \times (3\hat{i} – \alpha \hat{j} + \hat{k})|\end{array} \)

(64)(3) = 16α2 + 64 + 16α2

⇒ α2 = 4

Now,

\(\begin{array}{l}\vec{a}.\vec{b}\end{array} \)
= 3 – α2 + 3

= 6 – α2

= 6 – 4

= 2

Question 10: If the curve y = y(x) represented by the solution of the differential equation (2xy2 – y)dx + xdy = 0, passes through the intersection of the lines, 2x – 3y = 1 and 3x + 2y = 8, then |y(1)| is equal to ______.


Answer:1

Given,

(2xy2 – y)dx + xdy = 0

⇒ dy/dx + 2y2 – y/x = 0

⇒ (–1/y2) . dy/dx + (1/y) (1/x) = 2

Let, 1/y = z

(–1/y2) dy/dx = dz/dx

⇒dz/dx + z(1/x) = 2

Feb 2021 Maths JEE Main Paper Solutions

As it passes through P(2, 1)

[Point of intersection of 2x – 3y = 1 and 3x + 2y = 8]

Therefore, 2/1 = 4 + c

⇒c = –2

⇒x/y = x2 – 2

Put x = 1

1/y = 1 – 2 = –1

⇒y(1) = –1

⇒|y(1)| = 1
