  • Question 1
    1 / -0

    \(A\) fires \(5\) shots to \(B\)'s \(3\) but A kills only once in \(3\) shots while \(B\) kills once in \(2\) shots. When \(B\) has missed \(27\) times, \(A\) has killed

    Solution

    Let the total number of shots be \(x\). Then,

    Shots fired by \(A=\frac{5}{8} x\)

    Shots fired by \(B=\frac{3}{8} x\)

    Killing shots by \(A=\frac{1}{3}\) of \(\frac{5}{8} x=\frac{5 x}{24} ;\)

    Shots missed by \(B=\frac{1}{2}\) of \(\frac{3}{8} x=\frac{3 x}{16}\).

    \(\therefore \frac{3 x}{16}=27\) or \(x=\left(\frac{27 \times 16}{3}\right)=144\)

    Birds killed by \(\mathrm{A}=\frac{5 x}{24}=\left(\frac{5}{24} \times 144\right)=30\)

  • Question 2
    1 / -0

    Find the asymptotes to the hyperbola \(9 x^{2}-16 y^{2}=144\).

    Solution
    Given,
    The equation of hyperbola is \(9 x^{2}-16 y^{2}=144\).
    The given equation of hyperbola can be re-written as,
    \(\frac{x^{2}}{16}-\frac{y^{2}}{9}=1\)
    By comparing the above equation with \(\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1\), we get
    \( a =4\) and \(b =3\)
    As we know that,
    The asymptotes to the hyperbola \(\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1\) are given by,
    \(y=\pm \frac{b}{a} x\)
    So, the required asymptotes are given by,
    \(y=\pm \frac{3}{4} x\)
     
  • Question 3
    1 / -0

    Find the sum of the series \(3+\frac{9}{2}+6+\frac{15}{2}+\ldots\) upto \(25^{\text {th }}\) term.

    Solution

    Given:

    \(3+\frac{9}{2}+6+\frac{15}{2}+\ldots .\)

    \(d=\frac3 2\)

    \(n=25\)

    \(a=3\)

    The sum of n terms of an A.P. with first term a and common difference d is given by:

    \(\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{n}}=\frac{\mathrm{n}}{2} \times[2 \mathrm{a}+(\mathrm{n}-1) \mathrm{d}]\)

    \(S_{25}=\frac{25}{2}[2 a+(25-1) \times d]\)

    \(=\frac{25}{2}\left[2 \times 3+(24) \times \frac{3}{2}\right]\)

    \(=\frac{25}{2} \times 42\)

    \(=25 \times 21\)

    \(=525\)

  • Question 4
    1 / -0

    Solve the following L.P.P. by graphical method:

    Minimize: \(Z=6 x+2 y\) subject to \(x+2 y \geq 3, x+4 y \geq 4,3 x+y \geq 3, x \geq 0, y \geq 0\).

    Solution

    Given:

    \(Z=6 x+2 y\)

    \(x+2 y \geq 3\)

    \( x+4 y \geq 4\)

    \(3 x+y \geq 3\)

    \( x \geq 0, y \geq 0\)

    To draw the feasible region, construct table as follows:


    Shaded portion XABCDY is the feasible region, whose vertices are \(\mathrm{A}(4,0), \mathrm{B}, \mathrm{C}\) and \(\mathrm{D}(0,3)\).

    \(B\) is the point of intersection of the lines \(x+4 y=4\) and \(x+2 y=3\)

    Solving the above equations, we get:

    \(\mathrm{x}=2, \mathrm{y}=\frac{1}{2} \)

    \( \therefore \mathrm{B} =\left(2, \frac{1}{2}\right)\)

    \(C\) is the point of intersection of the lines \(x+2 y=3\) and \(3 x+y=3\)

    Solving the above equations, we get:

    \(\mathrm{x}=\frac{3}{5}, y=\frac{6}{5} \)

    \( \therefore C =\left(\frac{3}{5}, \frac{6}{5}\right)\)

    Here, the objective function is \(Z=6 x+2 y\).

    \(Z\) at \(A(4,0)=6(4)+2(0)=24\)

    \(\mathrm{Z}\) at \(\mathrm{B}\left(2, \frac{1}{2}\right)=6(2)+2\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)=12+1=13\)

    \(\mathrm{Z}\) at \(\left.C\left(\frac{3}{5}, \frac{6}{5}\right)=6\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)+2\left(\frac{6}{5}\right)=\frac{18}{5}\right)+\frac{12}{5}=6\)

    \(\therefore Z\) at \(D(0,3)=6(0)+2(3)=6\)

    \(\therefore Z\) has minimum value 6 at \(C\left(\frac{3}{5}, \frac{6}{5}\right)\) and \(D(0,3)\).

    \(\therefore Z\) is minimum when, \(x=\left(\frac{3}{5}\right), y=\left(\frac{6}{5}\right), Z=6\) and \(x=0, y=3, Z=6\).

  • Question 5
    1 / -0

    Find the conjugate of \(\frac{1+i}{1-i}\).

    Solution

    Concept:

    The conjugate of a complex number is the other complex number having the same real part and opposite sign of the imaginary part.

    Calculation:

    Let \(z=\frac{1+i}{1-i}\)

    Multiply \(1+i\) on both numerator and denominator

    \(z=\frac{1+\mathrm{i}}{1-\mathrm{i}} \times \frac{1+\mathrm{i}}{1+\mathrm{i}}\)

    \(z=\frac{(1+\mathrm{i})^{2}}{1^{2}-\mathrm{i}^{2}}\)

    \(z=\frac{1+2 \mathrm{i}+\mathrm{i}^{2}}{1+1}\)

    \(z=\frac{2 \mathrm{i}}{2}=\mathrm{i}\)

    Conjugate of z.

    \(\overline{\mathrm{z}}=-\mathrm{i}\)

  • Question 6
    1 / -0

    If the latus rectum of an ellipse is equal to half of the minor axis, then what is its eccentricity?

    Solution

    Concept:

    The equation of ellipse is \(\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1(a>b)\)

    length of Latus rectum of ellipse \(=\frac{2 \mathrm{~b}^{2}}{\mathrm{a}}\)

    Length of minor axis \(=2 \mathrm{~b}\).

    Eccentricity \(=e=\sqrt{1-\left(\frac{b}{a}\right)^{2}}\)

    Calculations:

    Given, the latus rectum of an ellipse is equal to half of the minor axis.

    Suppose, the equation of ellipse is \(\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1\)

    length of Latus rectum of ellipse \(=\frac{2 b^{2}}{a}\)

    Length of minor axis \(=2 b\)

    Given, the latus rectum of an ellipse is equal to half of the minor axis

    \(\Rightarrow \frac{2 \mathrm{~b}^{2}}{\mathrm{a}}=\mathrm{b}\)

    \(\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{b}}{\mathrm{a}}=\frac{1}{2}\)

    If the equation of ellipse is \(\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1\) then eccentricity \(=e=\sqrt{1-\left(\frac{b}{a}\right)^{2}}\)

    \(\Rightarrow e=\sqrt{1-\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2}}\)

    \(\Rightarrow e=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)

    If the latus rectum of an ellipse is equal to half of the minor axis, then what is its eccentricity e \(=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)

  • Question 7
    1 / -0

    Consider the following statements in respect of f(x) = |x| - 1

    1. f(x) is continuous at x = 1.

    2. f(x) is differentiable at x = 0.

    Which of the above statements is/are correct?

    Solution

    Given that,

    f(x) = |x| - 1 ----(1)

    Step: 1

    Step: 2

    Step: 3

    Clearly, we can see that,

    f(x) is continuous at x = 1 and

    f(x) is not differentiable at x = 0 because there is a corner at x = 0.

  • Question 8
    1 / -0

    Find the Cartesian equations of the lines that pass through the origin and (1, −3, 4).

    Solution

    Given that:

    Lines passes through the origin and \((1,-3,4)\).

    We know that:

    Direction ratios: The direction ratios of line \(A B\) joining \(A\left(x_{1}, y_{1}, z_{1}\right)\) and B \(\left(x_{2},\right.\), \(\left.y _{2}, z _{2}\right)\) are:

    \( x _{2}- x _{1}= a , y _{2}- y _{1}= b\) and \(z _{2}- z _{1}= c\)

    Therefore,

    Direction ratios of the line through \((0,0,0)\) and \((1,-3,4)\) are \((1-0),(-3-0)\) and \((4-0)\) i.e., \((1,-3,4)\)

    Also, we know that:

    Equation of a line: The equation of a line with direction ratio \((a, b, c)\) that passes through the point \(\left(x_{1}, y_{1}, z_{1}\right)\) is given by the formula:

    \(\frac{x- x _{1}}{ a }=\frac{y- y _{1}}{ b }=\frac{z- z _{1}}{ c }\)

    Now, equation of the line through the point \((0,0,0)\) and direction ratios \((1,-3,4)\) is given by:

    \(\frac{ x -0}{1}=\frac{ y -0}{-3}=\frac{ z -0}{4}\)

    Therefore, the equation of the line in the Cartesian form is:

    \(\frac{x}{1}=\frac{y}{-3}=\frac{z}{4}\)

  • Question 9
    1 / -0

    The vectors î - 2xĵ - 3yk̂ and î + 3xĵ + 2yk̂ are orthogonal to each other. Then the locus of the point (x, y) is-

    Solution

    Given:

    Vectors î - 2xĵ - 3yk̂ and î + 3xĵ + 2yk̂ are orthogonal to each other,

    ⇒ (î - 2xĵ - 3yk̂).(î + 3xĵ + 2yk̂) = 0

    ⇒ 1 - 6x2 - 6y2 = 0

    ⇒ 6x2 + 6y2 = 1

    ⇒ x2 + y2 =16

    So, locus of the point (x, y) is circle.

  • Question 10
    1 / -0

    In an examination, a candidate has to pass in each of the 5 subjects. In how many ways he can fail?

    Solution

    The number of ways to select \(r\) things out of \(n\) given things wherein \(r \leq n\) is given by: \({ }^{n} C_{r}=\frac{n !}{r ! \times(n-r) !}\)

    Given: There are 5 subjects and for a student to pass in an examination the students has to pass in each of the 5 subjects.

    Here, we have to find in how many ways a student can fail in the examination.

    In order to fail in the examination the student can fail in 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 subjects out of the 5 subjects in each case.

    Case 1: Student fails in any 1 subject out of the 5 subjects.

    No. of ways in which student can fail in any 1 subject out of the 5 subjects \(={ }^{5} C_{1}\)

    Case 2: Student fails in any 2 subjects out of the 5 subjects.

    No. of ways in which student can fail in any 2 subjects out of the 5 subjects \(={ }^{5} C_{2}\)

    Case 3: Student fails in any 3 subjects out of the 5 subjects.

    No. of ways in which student can fail in any 3 subjects out of the 5 subjects \(={ }^{5} C_{3}\)

    Case 4: Student fails in any 4 subjects out of the 5 subjects.

    No. of ways in which student can fail in any 4 subjects out of the 5 subjects \(={ }^{5} C_{4}\)

    Case 5: Student fails in all 5 subjects.

    No. of ways in which student can fail all 5 subjects. \(={ }^{5} C_{5}\)

    \(\therefore\) Total number of ways in which a student can fail in an examination \(={ }^{5} C_{1}+{ }^{5} C_{2}+{ }^{5} C_{3}+{ }^{5} C_{4}+{ }^{5} C_{5}=31\)
