\(\begin{array}{l}\text{1) If the function f(x) is differentiable at x=a, then} \lim_{x \to a }\frac{x^{2}f(a)-a^{2}f(x)}{x-a} \text{ is}\end{array} \)
  1. a2 f(a)
  2. a f(a)-a2 f’(a)
  3. 2a f(a)-a2 f’(a)
  4. 2a f(a)+a2 f’(a)

Answer: Option (c) 2a f(a)-a2 f’(a)

Explanation:

Given: The function f(x) is differentiable at x=a, so f’(a) exists.

By using L’ Hospital rule,

\(\begin{array}{l}\lim_{x \to a }\frac{x^{2}f(a)-a^{2}f(x)}{x-a} = lim_{x \to a }\frac{2x f(a)-a^{2}f'(x)}{1}\end{array} \)

= 2a f(a) – a2f’(a)

Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.

\(\begin{array}{l}\text{2) The point(s) at which the function f is given by  }f(x) = \left\{\begin{matrix} \frac{x}{|x|} & x<0\\ -1 & x\geq 0 \end{matrix}\right. \text{ is continuous, is/are}\end{array} \)
  1. x ∈ R
  2. x = 0
  3. x ∈ R-{0}
  4. x = -1 and 1

Answer: Option (a) x ∈ R

Explanation:

Given:

\(\begin{array}{l}f(x) = \left\{\begin{matrix} \frac{x}{|x|} & x<0\\ -1 & x\geq 0 \end{matrix}\right.\end{array} \)

Since, |x| = -x for x<0,

\(\begin{array}{l}f(x) = \left\{\begin{matrix} \frac{x}{(-x)} & x<0\\ -1 & x\geq 0 \end{matrix}\right.\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}f(x) = \left\{\begin{matrix} -1 & x<0\\ -1 & x\geq 0 \end{matrix}\right.\end{array} \)

Hence, f(x) = -1 is a constant function and the constant function is continuus for all real numbers.

Therefore, x ∈ R is the correct answer.

3) If x =t2, y=t3, then d2y/dx2 =

  1. 3/2
  2. 3/4t
  3. 3/2t
  4. 3t/2

Answer: Option (b) 3/4t

Explanation:

x=t2 ⇒dx/dt = 2t

y=t3⇒dy/dt = 3t2

⇒dy/dx = 3t2/2t = 3t/2

Hence, d2y/dx2 = 3/4t.

4) The value of c in Rolle’s theorem for the function, f(x) = sin 2x in [0, π/2] is

  1. π/4
  2. π/6
  3. π/2
  4. π/3

Answer: Option (a) π/4

Explanation:

For the function, f(x) = sin 2x in [0, π/2], f’(c) = 0

Hence, 2 cos 2c =0

2c =π/2

c = π/4

Hence, option (a) π/4 is the correct answer.

5) If y = ax2+b, then dy/dx at x = 2 is equal to

  1. 2a
  2. 3a
  3. 4a
  4. None of these

Answer: Option (c) 4a

Explanation:

Given that, y=ax2+b

Then dy/dx = 2ax

At x=2, dy/dx = 2(a)(2) = 4a

Hence, the correct answer is option (c) 4a

6) The function f(x) = [ln(1+ax)-ln(1-bx)]/x, not defined at x=0. The value should be assigned to f at x=0, so that it is continuous at x =0, is

  1. a+b
  2. a-b
  3. b-a
  4. ln a + ln b

Answer: Option (a) a+b

For f(x) to be continuous at x =0,

f(0) = limx→0f(x)

Therefore, f(0) = limx→0[ln(1+ax)-ln(1-bx)]/x

By using limx→0[ln(1+x)]/x = 1, we get

f(0) = a+b.

7) If x sin(a+y) = sin y, then dy/dx is equal to

  1. [sin2(a+y)]/sin a
  2. sin a /[sin2(a+y)]
  3. [sin(a+y)]/sin a
  4. sin a /[sin(a+y)]

Answer: Option (a) [sin2(a+y)]/sin a

Given: x sin(a+y) = sin y

⇒x = sin y/sin (a+y)

Now, differentiate both sides with respect to x, we get

\(\begin{array}{l}1 = \frac{sin(a+y)cos y\frac{dy}{dx}-cos(a+y)sin y\frac{dy}{dx}}{sin^{2}(a+y)}\end{array} \)

Simplifying the above equation, we get

⇒sin2(a+y) = sin (a+y-y)dy/dx

⇒ dy/dx = [sin2(a+y)]/sin a

8) If xy. yx = 16, then dy/dx at (2, 2) is

  1. 0
  2. 1
  3. -1
  4. None of these

Answer: Option (c) -1

Explanation:

Given: xy. yx = 16

Now, take log on both sides, we get

log xy + log yx = log 16

y log x + x log y = log 16

Differentiate with respect to x, we get

(y/x) + log x (dy/dx) + (x/y)(dy/dx) + log y = 0

Hence, dy/dx = – (y/x)[(y+xlogy)/((x+ylogx)]

Therefore, dy/dx at (2,2) = -1.

9) If y = √[sinx + y], then dy/dx =

  1. cos x /(2y-1)
  2. cos x/(1-2y)
  3. sin x/(2y-1)
  4. sin x/(1-2y)

Answer: Option (a) cos x /(2y-1)

Explanation:

Given:

y = √[sinx + y]

Now, take square on both sides,

y2 = sin x+y

Differntiating with respect to x, we get

2y(dy/dx) = cosx + dy/dx

Hence, 2y(dy/dx) – (dy/dx) = cos x

(dy/dx) (2y-1) = cos x

Hence, dy/dx = cos x /(2y-1).

10) For x∈R, f(x) = |log 2-sinx| and g(x)= f(f(x)), then

  1. g is not differentiable at x =0
  2. g’(0) = cos(log 2)
  3. g’(0) = – cos (log 2)
  4. g is diffentiable at x =0 and g’(0)= -sin (log 2)

Answer: Option (b) g’(0) = cos(log 2)

Explanation:

Given: f(x) = |log 2 – sinx|

g(x) = f(f(x))

g’(x) = f’(f(x))f’(x)

Hence, g’(0) = f’(f(0))f’(0)

When x tends to 0, log 2 > sinx

Thus, f(x) = log 2 -sinx

f’(x) = -cos x

f’(0) = – cos 0 = -1

f’(log 2) = – cos (log 2)

⇒g’(0) = (-cos(log 2)) (-1) = cos (log 2)

Hence, option (b) g’(0) = cos (log 2) is the correct answer.
