July 20 Shift 2 – Maths Question Paper and Solutions

Question 1:-π/2π/2([x] – [sin⁡x ])dx = (Where [.] represents G.I.F)


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

Answer: (c)

I = ∫-π/2π/2([x] – [sin⁡x ])dx

Using the property ∫-aa f(x)dx = ∫0a f(x)dx + ∫0a f(-x)dx

I = ∫0π/2 ([x] + [-x] )dx – ∫0π/2([sin ⁡x] + [-sin ⁡x])dx

= 0

Hence option c is the answer.

Question 2: If

\(\begin{array}{l}\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{\alpha x(1+x+\frac{x^{2}}{2!}+\frac{x^{3}}{3!}+…)-\beta (x-\frac{x^{2}}{2}+\frac{x^{3}}{3}+…)+\gamma x^{2}(1-x+\frac{x^{2}}{2!}-\frac{x^{3}}{3!}+…)}{x^{3}}=10\end{array} \)
, find the value of α + β + γ


Answer: (3)

\(\begin{array}{l}\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{\alpha x(1+x+\frac{x^{2}}{2!}+\frac{x^{3}}{3!}+…)-\beta (x-\frac{x^{2}}{2}+\frac{x^{3}}{3}+…)+\gamma x^{2}(1-x+\frac{x^{2}}{2!}-\frac{x^{3}}{3!}+…)}{x^{3}}=10\end{array} \)

⇒ α – β = 0

⇒ α = β

⇒ α + β/2 + γ = 0

⇒ γ = -3β/2

⇒ α/2 – β/3 – γ = 10

⇒ β = 6, α = 6, γ = -9

So, the value of α + β + γ = 3

Question 3: The value of x satisfying the equation log(x+1)⁡(2x2+7x+5) + log(2x+5)⁡(x+1)2 = 4 is:


a. -2
b. 2
c. -4
d. 4

Answer: (b)

log(x+1) ⁡(2x+5)(x+1) + log(2x+5) (x+1)2 = 4

1+ log(x+1) (2x+5)⁡ + 2log(2x+5) (x+1) = 4

Put log(x+1) (2x+5) = t

∴1+ t + 2/t = 4

⇒ t2 + t + 2 = 4t

⇒ t2 – 3t + 2 = 0

t = 1, t = 2

For t = 1

2x+5 = x + 1

⇒ x = -4 (Rejected)

For t = 2

2x+5 = (x + 1)2

x = 2, x = -2 (Rejected)

Hence option b is the answer.

Question 4: Mean of 6 observations is 10 and their variance is 20/3 . If observations are 15, 11, 10, 7, a, b then |a-b| is equal to:


a. 2
b. 1
c. 3
d. 4

Answer: (b)

Mean = 10

(7+10+11+15+a+b)/6 = 10

a + b = 17

Variance = 20/3

(49+100+121+225+a2+b2)/6 – 100 = 20/3

a2+b2 = 145

(a+b)2 = 289

ab = 72

(a-b)2 = (a+b)2 – 4ab

(a-b)2 = 289 – 288 = 1

|a-b| = 1

Hence option b is the answer.

Question 5: If f(x) = x+1, then find

\(\begin{array}{l}\lim_{n\to \infty }\frac{1}{n}\left [ f(0)+f(\frac{5}{n})+ f(\frac{10}{n})+…+f(\frac{5(n-1)}{n})\right ]\end{array} \)


a. 7/2
b. 3/2
c. 5/2
d. 1/2

Answer: (a)

\(\begin{array}{l}\lim_{n\to \infty }\frac{1}{n}\sum_{r=0}^{n-1}f(\frac{5r}{n})\end{array} \)

= ∫01 f(5x)

= ∫01(5x+1) dx

= ((5x2/2) + x)01

= (5/2) + 1

= 7/2

Hence option a is the answer.

Question 6: Sum of 21 terms of series

\(\begin{array}{l}log_{9^{\frac{1}{2}}}x + log_{9^{\frac{1}{3}}}x + log_{9^{\frac{1}{4}}}x……….\end{array} \)
is 252, then the value of x is:


a. 7
b. 243
c. 9
d. 81

Answer: (c)

2 log9 x + 3 log9 x + 4 log9 x………….21 terms

= (2 + 3 + 4 + 5…+ 22) log9x

= (21/2)(2 + 22) log9x

= 21×12 log9x

= 252 log9x

Given sum = 252

⇒ log9 x = 1

⇒ x = 9

Hence option c is the answer.

Question 7: If Re [(1+cos θ + 2i sin⁡ θ)] = 4, then the value of θ is


a. π/2
b. π/3
c. -π/2
d. π

Answer: (d)

[1/(1 + cos2θ + 2i sin θ)] ×(1+cos θ – 2i sin θ)/(1 + cos θ – 2i sin θ)

= (1 + cos θ – 2i sin θ)/((1 + cos θ)2+ 4 sin2θ)

⇒ (1 + cos θ)/(1 + cos2θ + 2 cos θ + 4 sin2θ) = 4

⇒ (1 + cos θ)/(1 + cos2θ + 2cosθ + 4 – 4 cos2θ) = 4

⇒ (1 + cos θ)/(5 + 2 cos θ – 3 cos2 θ) = 4

⇒ 1 + cos θ = 20 + 8 cos θ – 12 cos2 θ

12cos2θ – 7cos θ -19 = 0

⇒ 12cos2θ -19cos θ + 12cos θ – 19 = 0

⇒ cos θ(12cos θ -19) + 1(12cos θ -19) = 0

⇒ cos θ = -1 or cosθ = 19/12 (rejected)

⇒ θ = π

Hence option d is the answer.

Question 8: If x = ay-1 = z-2, and x = 3y-2 = bz-2 lie in same plane, then the value of a, b is


a. a = 2,b = 3
b. a = 1, b = 1
c. b = 1, a ∈ R-{0}
d. a = 3,b = 2

Answer:(c)

(x/1) = (y-1/a)/(1/a) = (z-2)/1

x = (y-⅔)/(⅓) = (z-2/b)/(1/b)

\(\begin{array}{l}(\vec{a_{1}}-\vec{a_{2}}).(\vec{b_{1}}-\vec{b_{2}})=0\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}\begin{vmatrix} 0 &\frac{1}{a}-\frac{2}{3} &2-\frac{2}{b} \\ 1 & \frac{1}{a} &1 \\ 1& \frac{1}{3}& \frac{1}{b} \end{vmatrix}=0\end{array} \)

⇒ (1/ab) – (1/a) = 0

⇒ b = 1, a∈ R-{0}

Hence option c is the answer.

Question 9: If

\(\begin{array}{l}P(\bar{A}\cap B)+P(A\cap \bar{B})= 1-k\end{array} \)
,

\(\begin{array}{l}P(\bar{A}\cap C)+P(A\cap \bar{C})= 1-2k\end{array} \)
,

\(\begin{array}{l}P(\bar{B}\cap C)+P( \bar{C}\cap B)= 1-k\end{array} \)

P(A∩B∩C) = k2, k ∈(0, 1). Then the value of P (at least one of A, B, C) is


a. >1/2
b. [⅛, ¼]
c. < 1/4
d. 1/4

Answer: (a)

P(A) + P(B) – 2P(A∩B) = 1 – k

P(A) + P(C) – 2P(A∩C) = 1 – 2k

P(B) + P(C) – 2P(B∩C) = 1 – k

P(A⋃B⋃C) = P(A) + P(B) + P(C) – P(A∩B) – P(B∩C) – P(A∩C) + P(A∩B∩C)

= (3 – 4k)/2) + k2

= (2k2 – 4k + 3)/2

Since the value of 2k2 – 4k + 3 is greater than 1

P(A⋃B⋃C) = 1/2

Hence option a is the answer.

Question 10: If f(x) = (5x+3)/(6x+a) and f(f(x) = x then the value of a is:


a. -5
b. 5
c. 6
d. -6

Answer: (a)

f(f(x) = (5f(x)+3)/(6f(x)+a) = x

⇒ 5f(x)+3 = 6xf(x)+ax

[(25x+15)/(6x+a)] + 3 = 6x((5x+3)/(6x+a)) + ax

⇒ 25x+15+18x+3a = 30x2+18x+6ax2+a2x

⇒(30+6a)x2 + (a2-25)x – (3a+15)=0

⇒6(a+5)x2 + (a2-25)x – (3a+15) = 0,

a + 5 = 0

a = -5

Hence option a is the answer.

Question 11: If

\(\begin{array}{l}g(t)=\begin{Bmatrix} max(t^{3}-6t^{2}+9t-3,0), & t \; belongs\: to\: [0,3] \\ 4-t & t \; belongs\: to\:(3,4) \end{Bmatrix}\end{array} \)
then the number of points at which g(t) is non differentiable is:


a. 1
b. 3
c. 2
d. 4

Answer: (b)

JEE Main 2021 July 20 Maths Paper Shift 2

y = t3– 6t2 + 9t – 3

y’ = 3t2-12t + 9

= 3(t2– 4t + 3)

So total 3 points.

Hence option b is the answer.

Question 12: Given below are three conditions:

A: If 2+4 = 7, then 3+4 = 8

Answer: (b)

A = I, B= I+I+I+….,2021 times

\(\begin{array}{l}B=2021\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0\\ 0& 1 \end{bmatrix}\end{array} \)

|B| = 20212

Hence option b is the answer.

Question 14: If element of matrix A = [aij](3×3) where

\(\begin{array}{l}A = \left\{\begin{matrix} (-1)^{j-i} &i<j \\ 2& i=j\\ (-1)^{i+j}& i>j \end{matrix}\right.\end{array} \)
, then the value of |3 adj(2A-1)| is:


a. 72
b. 36

Answer: (c)

A =

\(\begin{array}{l}\begin{bmatrix} 2 & -1 & 1\\ -1& 2& -1\\ 1& -1& 2 \end{bmatrix}\end{array} \)

|A| = 2(4-1)+1(-2+1)+1(1-2)

= 2(3)+1(-1)+1(-1)

= 4

|3 adj(2A-1)| = 33|adj(2A-1)|

= 33×|2A-1|2

= 33×26×|A−1|2

= 33×26×1/|A|2

= 108

Hence option c is the answer.

a. 220/21
b. 110/21
c. 55/21
d. 20/11

Answer: (a)

tan (tan-1 (6/5)/(1-(9/5)) + tan-1 (5/12))

= tan (tan-1 (15/8) + tan-1 (5/12))

= ((15/8) + (5/12))/(1 – (15/8)(5/12)

= 220/21

Hence option a is the answer.

Question 17: If (α, β) is the point on y2 = 6x, that is closest to (3, 3/2) then find 2(α+β)


a. 6
b. 9
c. 7
d. 5

Answer: (b)

2021 July 20 JEE Main Maths Shift 2 Paper

Equation of normal at (α, β) is

y-β = (-β/2a)(x-α)

⇒ 3y-3β = -β(x-α)

For shortest distance normal will pass through (3, 3/2)

So (9/2) – 3β = -3β-βα

αβ = 9/2⋯(1)

Now from y2 = 6x

β2 = 6α⋯(2)

From (1) and (2) we get α = 3/2, β = 3

2(α+β) = 2(3/2 + 3)

= 2(9/2)

= 9

Hence option b is the answer.

Question 18: Two circles pass through (-1, 4) and their centres lie on x2+y2+2x+4y = 4. If r1 and r2 are maximum and minimum radii and r1/r2 = a+b√2, then the value of a+b is


Answer: 3

Given circle

(x+1)2+(y+2)2 = 32

Any point on the circle is (3 cos θ – 1,3 sin θ – 2)

Radius of the circles which passes through (-1, 4)

r = √((3 cos θ – 1 + 1)2 + (3 sin θ – 2 – 4)2)

=√(9 cos2 θ + 9 sin2 θ + 36 – 36 sin θ)

= √(45 – 36 sin θ)

rmax = 9 = r1 and rmin = 3 = r2

⇒ r1/r2 = 9/3 = 3

⇒ 3 + 0√2

= a+b

= 3

Question 19: If ∆ABC is a right-angled triangle with sides a,b and c and smallest angle θ. If 1/a, 1/b and 1/c are also the sides of the right-angle triangle then find sin θ.

a. √((3-√5)/2)

b. (3-√5)/2

c. √((3+√5)/2)

d. (3+√5)/2

Answer: a

Let a>b>c

sin θ = c/a

2021 July 20 Maths JEE Main Shift 2 Paper

1/a < 1/b < 1/c

1/c2 = 1/a2 + 1/b2

1 = (c2/a2) + (c2/b2)

1 = (c2/a2) + (c2/(a2 – c2)) (As b2 + c2 = a2)

1 = sin2θ + 1/((a2/c2)-1)

= (sin2 θ) + (1/(cosec2θ-1))

(1-sin2 θ + 1)/(cosec2 θ -1) = 1

⇒ sin2 θ + cosec2 θ = 3

Put sin2 θ = t

⇒ t4 – 3t2 + 1 = 0

⇒ t2 = (3±√5)/2

So sin θ = √((3-√5)/2)

Hence option a is the answer.
