  • Question 1
    1 / -0

    Let \(A(\vec{a}), B(\vec{b}), C(\vec{c})\) be the vertices of the triangle \(A B C\) and let \(D E F\) be the midpoints of the sides \(B C, C A, A B\) respectively. If \(P\) divides the median \(AD\) in the ratio \(2: 1\) then the position vector of \(P\) is:

    Solution

     

    \(A(\vec{a}), B(\vec{b}), C(\vec{c})\) are the vertices of the triangle \(A B C\).

     

    \(D\) is the midpoint of \(BC\)

    \(\Rightarrow D =\left(\frac{\overrightarrow{ b }+\overrightarrow{ c }}{2}\right)\)

    \(E\) is the midpoint of \(CA\)

    \(\Rightarrow E=\left(\frac{\vec{a}+\vec{c}}{2}\right)\)

    \(F\) is the midpoint of \(A B\)

    \(\Rightarrow F =\left(\frac{\overrightarrow{ a }+\overrightarrow{ b }}{2}\right)\)

    Now, \(AD , BE\) and \(CF\) are the medians of triangle \(ABC\)

    All three medians intersects at point \(P\).

    \(\because P\) divides \(AD\) in the ratio \(2: 1\) and other medians also intersect at \(P\).

    \(\Rightarrow P\) divides all three medians in the ratio \(2: 1\)

    \(\Rightarrow P\) is the centroid of the triangle \(ABC\).

    The position vector of the centroid of a triangle \(ABC\) with position vectors of the vertices being \(\vec{a}, \vec{b}\) and \(\vec{c}\) respectively is given by:

    \(P=\frac{\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c}}{3}\)

  • Question 2
    1 / -0

    Let \(y=3 x^{2}+2\). If \(x\) changes from 10 to 10.1, then what is the total change in y?

    Solution

    Given:

    \(y=3 x^{2}+2\)

    \(x\) changes from 10 to 10.1

    So, \(\Delta x=10.1-10=0.1\)

    Now, \(y=3 x^{2}+2\)

    Differentiating with respect to \(x,\) we get

    \(\Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx}=6 x\)

    As we know, \(\Delta y=\frac{y}{dx} \Delta x\)

    \(\Rightarrow \Delta y=6 x \Delta x\)

    Put \(x=10\) and \(\Delta x=0.1\)

    \(\therefore \Delta y=6 \times 10 \times 0.1=6 \approx 6.03\)

  • Question 3
    1 / -0

    If the mirror image of the point \((2,4,7)\) in the plane \(3 x-y+4 z=2\) is \((a, b, c)\), then \(2 a+b+2 c\) is equal to:

    Solution

    We know mirror image of point \(\left(\mathrm{x}_1, \mathrm{y}_1, \mathrm{z}_1\right)\) in the plane

    \(a x+b y+c z=d \)

    \(\frac{x-x_1}{a}=\frac{y-y_1}{b}=\frac{z-z_1}{c}=\frac{-2\left(a x_1+b y_1+c z_1-d\right)}{a^2+b^2+c^2}\)

    Here given point \((2,4,7)\) and plane \(3 x-y+4 z=2\) then mirror image is

    \(\frac{x-2}{3}=\frac{y-4}{-1}=\frac{z-7}{4}=\frac{-2(6-4+28-2)}{9+1+16} \)

    \(\Rightarrow \frac{x-2}{3}=\frac{y-4}{-1}=\frac{z-7}{4}=-\frac{28}{13}\)

    \(\therefore x=-\frac{58}{13}=a \)

    \(y=\frac{80}{13}=b \)

    \(z=-\frac{21}{13}=c \)

    \(\therefore 2 a+b+2 c \)

    \(=2\left(-\frac{58}{13}\right)+\frac{80}{13}+2\left(-\frac{21}{13}\right)\)

    \(=\frac{-116+80-42}{13}=\frac{-78}{13}=-6\)

  • Question 4
    1 / -0

    What is the value of

    \(\frac{\sin 34^{\circ} \cos 236^{\circ}-\sin 56^{\circ} \sin 124^{\circ}}{\cos 28^{\circ} \cos 88^{\circ}+\cos 178^{\circ} \sin 208^{\circ}}\)

    Solution

    Given:

    \(\frac{\sin 34^{\circ} \cos 236^{\circ}-\sin 56^{\circ} \sin 124^{\circ}}{\cos 28^{\circ} \cos 88^{\circ}+\cos 178^{\circ} \sin 208^{\circ}}\)

    cos 236° = cos (180° + 56°) = - cos 56°

    sin 124° = sin (90° + 34°) = cos 34°

    cos 178° = cos (90° + 88°) =- sin 88°

    sin 208° = sin (180° + 28°) = - sin 28°

    By substituting these values in\(\frac{\sin 34^{\circ} \cos 236^{\circ}-\sin 56^{\circ} \sin 124^{\circ}}{\cos 28^{\circ} \cos 88^{\circ}+\cos 178^{\circ} \sin 208^{\circ}}\) we get

    \(\Rightarrow \frac{\sin 34^{\circ} \cos 236^{\circ}-\sin 56^{\circ} \sin 124^{\circ}}{\cos 28^{\circ} \cos 88^{\circ}+\cos 178^{\circ} \sin 208^{\circ}}=\frac{-\sin 34^{\circ} \cos 56^{\circ}-\sin 56^{\circ} \cos 34^{\circ}}{\cos 28^{\circ} \cos 88^{\circ}+\sin 88^{\circ} \sin 28^{\circ}}\)

    As we know that, sin (A + B) = sin A × cos B + sin B × cos A and cos (A - B) = cos A × cos B + sin A × sin B.

    \(\Rightarrow \frac{\sin 34^{\circ} \cos 236^{\circ}-\sin 56^{\circ} \sin 124^{\circ}}{\cos 28^{\circ} \cos 88^{\circ}+\cos 178^{\circ} \sin 208^{\circ}}=-\frac{\sin \left(34^{\circ}+56^{\circ}\right)}{\cos \left(88^{\circ}-28^{\circ}\right)}=-2\)

  • Question 5
    1 / -0

    If \(f: R \rightarrow R\) and \(g: R \rightarrow R\) are two fuctions defined as \(f(x)=2 x\) and \(g(x)=x^{2}+2\) then the value of (fog) 2 is:

    Solution

    \((f o g) 2=f\{g(x)\}\)

    ∵ \(f(x)=2x\)

    and \(g(x)=x^{2}+2\)

    \(f\{g(x)\}=f\left(x^{2}+2\right)\)

    \(=2(x^{2}+2\)

    \(=f\left(x^{2}+2\right)\)

    \(=2\left(x^{2}+2\right)\)

    \(=2 x^{2}+4\)

    Therefore,\((f o g) 2=2 \times(2)^{2}+4\)

    \(=2 \times 4+4=12\)

  • Question 6
    1 / -0

    If \(A\) and \(B\) are two events such that \(P ( A \cup B )\)= \(\frac{5}{6}\) , \(P ( A \cap B )\) = \(\frac{1} {3}\), \(P ( B )\) = \(\frac{1}2\), then the events \(A\) and \(B\) are:

    Solution

    Given, \(P ( A \cup B )\)= \(\frac{5}{6}\) 

     \(P ( A \cap B )\) = \(\frac{1} {3}\), \(P ( B )\) = \(\frac{1}2\)

    We know that, \(P(A \cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A \cap B)\)

    \(\frac{5}{6}=P(A)+\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}\)

    \(\Rightarrow P(A)=\frac{5}{6}-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}\)

    \(\Rightarrow P(A)=\frac{5-3+2}{6}\)

    \(\Rightarrow P(A)=\frac{2}{3}\)

    We know that for independent events,

    \(P(A) \cdot P(B)\) = \(P(A \cap B)\)

    \(P(A \cap B)\) = \((\frac{2}{3}) \times(\frac{1}{2})\) =\(\frac{1}{3}\)

    This is equal to \(P ( A \cap B )\).

    Thus events \(A\) and \(B\) are independent events.

  • Question 7
    1 / -0

    \(60 \%\) of the employees of a company are college graduates. Of these, \(10 \%\) are in sales. Of the employees who did not graduate from college, \(80 \%\) are in sales. The probability that an employee selected at random is in sales is:

    Solution

    Given,

    \(P(A)= 60\%\) = \(\frac{60}{100}\)

    \(= 0.60\)

    \(P(A') = 1 -0.60\)

    \(= 0.40\)

    \(P(\frac{B }{A})= 10\%\) = \(\frac{10}{100}\)

    \(= 0.10\)

    \(P(\frac{B}{A})^{\prime}=80\%\) = \(\frac{80}{100}\)

    \(= 0.80\)

    We know that,

    \(P(\frac{A}{B}) \cdot P(B)=P(\frac{B}{A})-P(A)\)

    Let, \(A\) be the event : the employees are graduate

    Let, \(B\) be the event : the employees are in sales

    \(P(B)=P(A) \cdot P(\frac{B }{ A})+P\left(A^{\prime}\right) \cdot P(\frac{B}{A})^{\prime}\)

    \(\Rightarrow P(B) = 0.60 \times 0.10+0.40 \times 0.80\)

    \(\Rightarrow P(B) = 0.38\)

    \(\therefore\) The probability that an employee selected at random is in sales, is \(0.38\).

  • Question 8
    1 / -0

    The equation of a parabola which passes through the intersection of a straight line x + y = 0 and the circle x2 + y2 + 4y = 0 is:

    Solution

    Given equation of line is,

    \(x+y=0\)

    i.e., \(y=-x\)

    and equation of circle is,

    \(x^{2}+y^{2}+4 y=0\)

    Substituting equation (i) in equation (ii), we get

    \(x^{2}+(-x)^{2}+4(-x)=0\)

    \(\Rightarrow 2 x^{2}-4 x=0\)

    \(\Rightarrow 2 x(x-2)=0\)

    \(\Rightarrow x=0,2\) and \(y=0,-2\)

    Now, taking option (C)

    i.e., \(y^{2}=2 x\)

    at poing \((0,0) \Rightarrow 0=0\)

    \(\Rightarrow (-2)^{2}=2(2) \Rightarrow 4=4\)

  • Question 9
    1 / -0

    The shaded region given below represents the constraints (other than \(x \geq 0, y \geq 0\) ):

    Solution

    Consider a point (2, 0) on the x-axis.

    Substituting \(x=2, y=0\) in \(3 x+12 y=6<400\).

    Hence, one constraints is \(3 x+12 y \leq 400\)

    Again, substituting \(x=2, y=0\) in \(x-4 y=2-0>0\)

    \(\therefore x-4 y \geq 0\) is other constraints and also the third constraint from the figure is \(y \leq 25\).

    So, the correct alternative is \(3 x+12 y \leq 400, y \leq 25, x \geq 4 y\).

  • Question 10
    1 / -0

    Using the principle of mathematical induction, prove that \(1 \times 3+2 \times 3^{2}+3 \times 3^{3}+\ldots+n \times 3^{n}=\frac{(2 n-1) 3^{n+1}+3}{4}\) for all:

    Solution

    Given:

    \(P(n): 1 \times 3+2 \times 3^{2}+3 \times 3^{3}+\ldots+n \times 3^{n} \) \(=\frac{(2 n-1) 3^{n+1}+3}{4} \)

    For \( n=1,\)

    \(\text {L H.S }=1 \times 3=3\) and R.H.S. \(=\frac{(2 \times 1-1) 3^{1+1}+3}{4}=\frac{3^{2}+3}{4}=\frac{12}{4}=3\)

    Thus \(\mathrm{P}(1)\) is true.

    \(P(n)\) be true for some \(n=k\).

    \(1 \times 3+2 \times 3^{2}+3 \times 3^{3}+\ldots+k \times 3^{k}\) \(=\frac{(2 k-1) 3^{k+1}+3}{4}\)

    Now, \(P(n)\) is true for \(n=k+1\).

    \(1 \times 3+2 \times 3^{2}+3 \times 3^{3}+\ldots+(k+1) \times 3^{k+1}\) \(=\frac{(2 k+1) 3^{k+2}+3}{4}\)

    Adding \((k+1) \times 3^{k+1}\) on both sides, we get

    \(1 \times 3+2 \times 3^{2}+3 \times 3^{3}+\ldots+k \times 3^{k}+(k+1) \times 3^{k+1} \) \(=\frac{(2 k-1) 3^{k+1}+3}{4}+(k+1) \times 3^{k+1} \)

    \(=\frac{(2 k-1) 3^{k+1}+3 \mid 4(k+1) 3^{k+1}}{4} \)

    \(=\frac{3^{k+1}[2 k-1+4(k+1)]+3}{4} \)

    \(=\frac{3^{k+1}(6 k+3)+3}{4} \)

    \(=\frac{3^{(k+1)+1}(2 k+1)+3}{4} \)

    \(=\frac{(2 k+1) 3^{k+2}+3}{4}\)

    Thus, \(P(k+1)\) is true whenever \(P(k)\) is true.

    By the principle of mathematical induction, statement P(n) is true for all natural numbers.
