Question 1 5 / -1
The solution of differential equation \(\rm du = \left ( 16 + u^{2} \right )dx\) is
Solution
Concept:
\(\rm \int \frac{1}{a^{2}+x^{2}}dx = \frac{1}{a}\tan ^{-1}\frac{x}{a}\)
Calculation:
Given : \(\rm du = \left ( 16 + u^{2} \right )dx\)
⇒ \(\rm \frac{du}{16+u^{2}}= dx\)
Integrating both sides, we get
\(\rm \int \frac{du}{4^{2}+u^{2}}= \int dx\)
⇒ \(\rm \frac{1}{4}\tan^{-1}\frac{u}{4}= x+c\)
⇒ \(\rm \tan^{-1}\frac{u}{4}= 4x+ C\)
\(\rm u = 4\tan \left ( 4x+C \right )\)
The correct option is 1.
Question 2 5 / -1
If sin-1 x + sin-1 y = \(\frac{{2\pi }}{3},\) then cos-1 x + cos-1 y =
Solution
Concept:
sin-1 x + cos-1 x = \(\rm \frac {\pi}{2}\)
Calculation:
Given:
sin-1 x +sin-1 y = \(\frac{{2\pi }}{3}\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{\pi }{2} - cs{o^{ - 1}}x + \frac{\pi }{2} - {\cos ^{ - 1}}y = \frac{{2\pi }}{3}\)
\(\Rightarrow {\cos ^{ - 1}}x + {\cos ^{ - 1}}y = \pi - \frac{{2\pi }}{3} = \frac{\pi }{3}.\)
Question 3 5 / -1
Find a vector in the direction of vector \(\rm \vec{a}= 3\hat i -4\hat j\) that has magnitude 10 units ?
Solution
Concept:
Unit vector in the direction of vector \(\rm \vec{z}\) is given by \(\hat z = \rm \frac{\vec{z}}{|z|}\) .
Calculation:
Given: \(\rm \vec{a}= 3i -4j\)
⇒ Unit vector in the direction of vector \(\rm \vec{a}\) is given by \(\hat a = \rm \frac{\vec{a}}{|a|}\) .
⇒ \(\rm \hat{a} = \rm \frac{3i-4j}{\sqrt{3^2+(-4)^2}} = \rm \frac{3\hat i-4\hat j}{5}\)
A vector in the direction of vector \(\rm \vec{a}\) that has magnitude 10 is given by \(10 \ \hat a\)
⇒ \(10 \ \hat a = 6\hat i - 8 \hat j\)
Hence, option 2 is correct .
Question 4 5 / -1
The value of the integral \(\mathop \smallint \limits_{ - \frac{{\rm{\pi }}}{2}}^{\frac{{\rm{\pi }}}{2}} \left( {{\rm{x}}\cos {\rm{x}}} \right){\rm{dx}}\) is
Solution
Concept :
Property of definite integral :
If f(x) is an even function (When we replace x to -x then we will get the same function as f(x) which means f(-x) = f(x) ) then:
\(\int\limits_{ - a}^a {f(x)dx} =2\int\limits_0^a {f(x)dx}\)
If f(x) is an odd function (When we replace x to - x then we will get the -f(x) which means f(-x) = -f(x) ) then:
\(\int\limits_{ - a}^a {f(x)dx} = 0\)
Calculation :
The given function is an odd function.
\(I = \mathop \smallint \limits_{ - \frac{{\rm{\pi }}}{2}}^{\frac{{\rm{\pi }}}{2}} {\rm{x}}\cos {\rm{xdx}} = 0\)
Question 5 5 / -1
The order and degree of the differential equation \(\dfrac {d^3y}{dx^3} + 4\times \sqrt {\left( \dfrac{dy}{dx}\right)^3 +y^2}\) = 0 are respectively:
Solution
Concept:
The order of a differential equation is the order of the highest derivative appearing in it.
The degree of a differential equation is the power of the highest derivative occurring in it, after the equation has been expressed in a form free from radicals as far as the derivatives are concerned
Calculation:
Given:
Squaring on both sides to remove the radicals, we get
\({\left( {\frac{{{d^3}y}}{{d{x^3}}}} \right)^2} = 16\left[ {{{\left( {\frac{{dy}}{{dx}}} \right)}^3} + {y^2}} \right]\)
The order of the highest derivative is 3
The power of the highest derivative is 2. Hence the degree of the equation is 2.
Question 6 5 / -1
What are the direction ratios of normal to the plane 2x - y + 2z + 1 = 0?
Solution
Concept :
The general equation of a plane is ax + by + cz + d = 0 where a, b and c are constants and a, b, c ≠ 0. Then the direction ratios of the normal to the plane are or where k ∈ R.
Calculation :
Given: Equation of plane: 2x - y + 2z + 1 = 0
Now, by comparing the given equation of plane with the standard equation of plane ax + by + cz + d = 0, we get: a = 2, b = - 1, c = 2 and d = 1.
As we know that, for the standard equation of plane ax + by + cz + d = 0 where a, b and c are constants and a, b, c ≠ 0. The direction ratios of the normal to the plane are or where k ∈ R.
Hence, the direction ratios of the normal to the given plane are <2, - 1, 2> or <1, - 1 / 2, 1>.
Question 7 5 / -1
Let two events A, B be two mutually exclusive events. Let P(.) denote the probability. Which of the following statements is true?
Solution
Answer : Option 3
Explanation :
Events A and B are mutually exclusive, This means events A and B cannot happen together. If A happens, it excludes B from happening, and vice-versa.
∴ If A and B are mutually exclusive,
P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B)
Question 8 5 / -1
What is the solution of the differential equation \(\ln \left( {\frac{{{\rm{dy}}}}{{{\rm{dx}}}}} \right) - {\rm{a}} = 0?\)
Solution
Calculation:
Given: \(\ln \left( {\frac{{{\rm{dy}}}}{{{\rm{dx}}}}} \right) - {\rm{a}} = 0\)
\( \Rightarrow \ln \left( {\frac{{{\rm{dy}}}}{{{\rm{dx}}}}} \right) = {\rm{a}}\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{{{\rm{dy}}}}{{{\rm{dx}}}} = {{\rm{e}}^{\rm{a}}}\)
\(\Rightarrow {\rm{\;}}\smallint \frac{{{\rm{dy}}}}{{{\rm{dx}}}} = \smallint {{\rm{e}}^{\rm{a}}}\)
On integrating both sides, we get
⇒ y = xea + c

Solution
Concept:
If two vectors are perpendicular to each other, their dot product is zero.
Calculations:
Consider a plane passing through a point A with position vector 'a' and perpendicular to 'b' to the given plane.
Let 'r' be the position vector of an arbitrary point P on the plane.
Then AP is perpendicular to \(\rm\vec b\) .
As we know, If two vectors are perpendicular to each other, their dot product is zero.
⇒\(\rm \vec{AP} \cdot \vec{b} = 0\)
\(\therefore \rm \left( {\bar r - \bar a} \right).\bar b = 0\)

Solution
Concept:
To multiply an ‘m × n’ matrix by an ‘n × p’ matrix, then 'n' must be the same, and the result is an m × p matrix. If A is a matrix of order m × n’ then the order of the transpose matrix is ‘n × m’ Calculation:
Given: [x y z] \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {\rm{a}}&{\rm{h}}&{\rm{g}}\\ {\rm{h}}&{\rm{b}}&{\rm{f}}\\ {\rm{g}}&{\rm{f}}&{\rm{c}} \end{array}} \right]\,\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {\rm{x}}\\ {\rm{y}}\\ {\rm{z}} \end{array}} \right]\)
⇒ Order will be (1 × 3) (3 × 3) (3 × 1) = (1 × 1)
⇒ Order will be → (1 × 3) (3 × 1)
⇒ Order will be → (1 × 1)

Solution
Concept :
Properties of Determinant of a Matrix :
If each entry in any row or column of a determinant is 0, then the value of the determinant is zero. For any square matrix say A, |A| = |AT |. If we interchange any two rows (columns) of a matrix, the determinant is multiplied by -1. If any two rows (columns) of a matrix are the same then the value of the determinant is zero. We can "split" a determinant along multiple rows or columns. Calculation :
Given,
Determinant
\(\left| \begin{array}{l} {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {a + b}&{b + c}&{c + a}\\ {b + c}&{c + a}&{a + b}\\ {c + a}&{a + b}&{b + c} \end{array}} \end{array} \right|\)
This can be written as:
(b) \(\left| \begin{array}{l} {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} a&b&c\\ b&c&a\\ c&a&b \end{array}} \end{array} \right|\) + \(\left| \begin{array}{l} {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} b&c&a\\ c&a&b\\ a&b&c \end{array}} \end{array} \right|\) =
Using this property .
If we interchange any two rows (columns) of a matrix, the determinant is multiplied by -1
Here the determinant \(\left| \begin{array}{l} {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} b&c&a\\ c&a&b\\ a&b&c \end{array}} \end{array} \right|\) can be written as \(\left| \begin{array}{l} {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} a&b&c\\ b&c&a\\ c&a&b \end{array}} \end{array} \right|\) by interchanging Column 3 & 2
So, \(\left| \begin{array}{l} {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} a&b&c\\ b&c&a\\ c&a&b \end{array}} \end{array} \right|\) + \(\left| \begin{array}{l} {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} b&c&a\\ c&a&b\\ a&b&c \end{array}} \end{array} \right|\) = \(\left| \begin{array}{l} {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} a&b&c\\ b&c&a\\ c&a&b \end{array}} \end{array} \right|\) + \(\left| \begin{array}{l} {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} a&b&c\\ b&c&a\\ c&a&b \end{array}} \end{array} \right|\) = 2 \(\left| \begin{array}{l} {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} a&b&c\\ b&c&a\\ c&a&b \end{array}} \end{array} \right|\)
⇒ K = 2.
Question 12 5 / -1

Solution
Explanation:
\(I=\mathop \smallint \limits_{ - 1}^1 {e^{\left| x \right|}}dx.\)
\(I= \mathop \smallint \limits_{ - 1}^0 {e^{ - x}}dx + \mathop \smallint \limits_0^1 {e^x}dx\)
\(I= \left[ { - {e^{ - x}}} \right]_{-1}^0 + \left[ {{e^x}} \right]_0^1\)
I = [-e-0 + e1 ] + [e1 - e0 ]
I = -1 + e1 + e - 1
I = 2 (e - 1)
Question 13 5 / -1

Solution
Concept:
Here, we have to evaluate the function with a given condition.
Calculation:
Given:
\(f(x) = \frac{1}{{1 - x}}\)
\( \Rightarrow f\{ f(x)\} = \frac{{1 - x}}{{ - x}}\)
\( \Rightarrow f[f\{ f(x)\} ] = \frac{{ - x}}{{ - x - 1 + x}} = x\)
∴ Derivative of f[f{f(x)}] 1.
Question 14 5 / -1
Fisher index number is the _______
Solution
Fisher-Price Index is the Geometric Mean (G.M.) of Laspeyers and Paasche Index number.
Key Points
Fisher-Price index takes into account both current and base year. The Formulae for the Fisher-Price Index is : Fisher-Price index= \(\sqrt{(Laspeyres \ Price \ Index \ * \ Paasche \ Price \ Index)}\)
or,
Fisher-Price index= \(\sqrt{\frac{∑ (Current \ year \ Price \ * \ Base \ year \ Quantity)}{ ∑ (Base \ year \ Price \ * \ Base \ year \ Quantity)} * \frac{∑ (Current \ year \ Price \ * \ Current \ year \ Quantity)}{ ∑ (Base \ year \ Price \ * \ Current \ year \ Quantity)}}\)
Where:
Laspeyres Index Formula (LPI) = \(\frac{∑ (Current \ year \ Price \ * \ Base \ year \ Quantity)}{ ∑ (Base \ year \ Price \ * \ Base \ year \ Quantity)}\)
Paasche Index Formula (PPI) = \( \frac{∑ (Current \ year \ Price \ * \ Current \ year \ Quantity)}{ ∑ (Base \ year \ Price \ * \ Current \ year \ Quantity)}\)
Additional Information
Fisher-Price Index is called the ideal price index as it corrects the positive price bias of the Laspeyres Price Index (which only uses the base period basket) and the negative price bias of the Paasche Price Index (which only uses the current year basket) by taking the Geometric average of the two indexes.The normal result of comparison when calculating these 3 indices are: Laspeyres ≥ Fisher ≥ Paasche
Question 15 5 / -1
Let y = t10 +1 and x = t8 + 1, \(then\,\frac{{{d^2}y}}{{d{x^2}}} is\)
Solution
CONCEPT:
Chain Rule of Derivatives:
\(\rm \frac{d}{dx}f(g(x))=\frac{d}{d\ g(x)}f(g(x))\times \frac{d}{dx}g(x)\) .\(\rm \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{dy}{du}\times \frac{du}{dx}\) .CALCULATION:
Given:
Here y = t10 + 1 and x = t8 +1
∴ t8 = x - 1
⇒ t2 = (x - 1)1 / 4
so, y = (x - 1)5 / 4 + 1
Differentiate both sides w. r. t. x,
\(\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = \frac{5}{4}\) (x - 1)1 / 4
Again, differentiate both sides w. r. t. x,
\(\frac{{{d^2}y}}{{d{x^2}}}\, = \frac{5}{{16}}\) (x - 1)-3 / 4
\(\frac{{{d^2}y}}{{d{x^2}}}\, = \frac{5}{{16\,{{\left( {x - 1} \right)}^{3/4}}}} = \frac{5}{{16{{({t^2})}^3}}}\, = \frac{5}{{16{t^6}}}\)
Question 16 5 / -1
The sum of two numbers is fixed. Then its multiplication is maximum, when
Solution
Concept:
The critical point of a function: Consider the function f(x) then the values at which f'(x) = 0 or not defined are known as critical points.
First derivative test: We say that function has extremum at some point x = a, if the first derivative at that point is 0.
Second derivative test: If x = a is a critical point of the function f(x) then we say that function has maxima if \(\rm f''(a) < 0\) similarly if \(\rm f''(0) > 0\) then the function has minima at that point.
Calculation:
Given : Suppose that two numbers are x and y.
x + y = s
⇒ y = s - x
Then f (x) = xy = x (s - x) = xs - x2
∴ f' (x) = s - 2x
⇒ f'' (x) = - 2 < 0
f' (x) = 0 form maximum value of f (x)
\(\therefore x =\frac{S}{2}\ and\ y=\frac{S}{2}\)
Thus each number is half of the sum.
Question 17 5 / -1
At which point the line \(\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 1\) , touches the curve y = be-x/a
Solution
Concept:
The slope of the tangent to a curve y = f(x) is m = \(\rm dy\over dx\)
The slope of the normal = \(\rm -{1\over m}\) = \(\rm -{1\over {dy\over dx}}\)
Calculation:
Given:
The slope of the line will be the negative ratio of the coefficient of x and coefficient of y that is,
\({m_{{\mathop{\rm Tan}\nolimits} gent}} = - \frac{b}{a}\)
also, y = be-x/a
\(\therefore \frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = \frac{{ - b}}{a}{e^{ - x/a}}\)
\(\therefore \frac{{ - b}}{a} = \frac{{ - b}}{a}{e^{x/a}}\)
\( ⇒ {e^{x/a}} = 1\)
\( ⇒ - \frac{x}{a} = 0 \)
⇒ x = 0.
If x = 0
Then \(0 + \frac{y}{b} = 1\)
⇒ y = b,
⇒ The point is (0, b).
Question 18 5 / -1

Solution
Concept :
The face value or par value of a bond is the price at which a bond is sold to buyers at the time of issue . Explanation :
When the market price of the bond is less than its face value/ par value , the bond is selling at a discount . When the market price of the bond is more than its face value/ par value , the bond is selling at a premium . Hence the correct answer is option 1.
Question 19 5 / -1
The function f(x) = cos x - 2px is monotonically decreasing for
Solution
Concept:
Monotonic function: If a function is differentiable on the interval (a, b) and if the function is increasing/strictly increasing or decreasing/strictly decreasing, then the function is known as a monotonic function.
First derivative test:
If \(\frac{{{\rm{df}}\left( {\rm{x}} \right)}}{{{\rm{dx}}}} \ge 0\) for all x in (a, b) then, f(x) is an increasing function in (a, b). If \(\frac{{{\rm{df}}\left( {\rm{x}} \right)}}{{{\rm{dx}}}} \le 0\) for all x in (a, b) then, f(x) is an decreasing function in (a, b). For strictly increasing or decreasing:
\(\frac{{{\rm{df}}\left( {\rm{x}} \right)}}{{{\rm{dx}}}} > 0\) for strictly increasing.\(\frac{{{\rm{df}}\left( {\rm{x}} \right)}}{{{\rm{dx}}}} < 0\) for strictly decreasing.f(x) will be monotonically decreasing, if (x) < 0.
Calculation:
Given:
f(x) = cos x - 2px
⇒ f'(x) = - sin x - 2p < 0
⇒ sin x + 2p > 0
\(⇒ \frac{sin x}{2} + p > 0\)
⇒ -1 ≤ sin x ≤ 1
So, the above inequality will be only possible when,
⇒ p > 1/2

The value of c in (0, 2) satisfying the mean value theorem for the function f(x) = x (x - 1) 2 , x ϵ [0, 2] is equal to
Solution
Concept
Lagrange mean value theorem (LMVT)
Let f(x) be a function defined in [a, b] such that
f (x) is continuous in [a, b] and differentiable in (a, b)
Then there exists at least one point such that C ∈ (a, b) such that
\(f'\left( c \right) = \frac{{f\left( b \right) - f\left( a \right)}}{{b - a}}\)
Calculation
Given:
f(x) = x(x -1)2
⇒ f(0) = 0
f(2) = 2
⇒ f(0) ≠ f(2)
Thus mean value theorem is applicable
Then, \(f'(x) = \frac{{f(2) - f(0)}}{{2 - 0}}\)
\( \Rightarrow 3{x^2} - 4x + 1 = \frac{{2 - 0}}{{2 - 0}} = 1 \)
\(\Rightarrow 3{x^2} - 4x = 0\)
\( \Rightarrow x(3x - 4) = 0 \)
\(\Rightarrow x = 0,x = 4/3.\)
We will take only x = 4/3 ϵ (0, 2)
Question 21 5 / -1

Solution
Concept:
A function f(x) is said to be continuous at a point x = a, in its domain if exists or its graph is a single unbroken curve.
f(x) is Continuous at x = a ⇔ \(\rm \lim_{x\rightarrow a^{+}}f(x)=\lim_{x\rightarrow a^{-}}f(x)=\lim_{x\rightarrow a}f(x)\)
Calculation:
\(\rm f\left( x \right) = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {Kx^2}&{if}&{x \le 2}\\ 3&{if}&{x > 2} \end{array}} \right.\)
\(\rm \lim_{x\rightarrow 2^{-}}f(x)=\lim_{x\rightarrow 2}K x^{2}\)
⇒ \(\rm \lim_{x\rightarrow 2^{-}}f(x)=4 K\)
Similarly,
\(\rm \lim_{x\rightarrow 2^{+}}f(x)=3 \)
Function is continuos at x = 2,
So, \(\rm \lim_{x\rightarrow 2^{+}}f(x)=\lim_{x\rightarrow 2^{-}}f(x)=\lim_{x\rightarrow 2}f(x)\)
⇒ 4K = 3
⇒ K = 3/4
The correct option is 1.

Solution
Concept:
2 tan -1 x = sin -1 \(\frac{{2x}}{{1 + {x^2}}}\)
Calculation:
Given:
sin-1 x = 2 tan-1 x
⇒ sin-1 x = sin-1 \(\frac{{2x}}{{1 + {x^2}}}\)
⇒ \(\frac{{2x}}{{1 + {x^2}}}\) = x
⇒ x 3 - x = 0
\( ⇒ \) x(x + 1)(x - 1) = 0
⇒ x = {-1, 1, 0}.

We know that,
|A| = |AT |
⇒ |adj A| = |(Adj A) T |
(Adj A) T Is represents the determinant formed by its co-factor matrix A.
⇒ |adj A| = |(Adj A) T | = |A|n-1
Calculation:
Given: 3 × 3 determinant is 3,
|A| = 3
⇒ |(Adj A) T | = (3)(3-1) = 9
The value of the determinant formed by its cofactor is 9.

\(\vec P \cdot \hat Q=\frac{2}{3} \)
\((\vec P \cdot\hat Q)\hat Q=\frac{2}{3} \frac{(2 \hat a_x - \hat a_y + 2 \hat a_z )}{3}\)
\((\vec P \cdot\hat Q)\hat Q=\frac{2}{9}(2 \hat a_x - \hat a_y + 2 \hat a_z )\)
\((\vec P \cdot\hat Q)\hat Q=0.4444\hat a_x-0.2222\hat a_y+0.4444\hat a_z\)
Option 4 is correct.

Now check the region which we have to choose depending on the sign of inequality.
To check which region we need to choose put (0,0) in both the inequality. and check whether this inequality is satisfying or not.
If it is satisfying the inequality then take the region containing (0,0) else the opposite side of (0,0).
Calculation:
Given: x + y ≥ 5
⇒ y ≥ – x + 5
The given linear inequality covers the area (shaded region) above the straight line y = – x + 5 as shown below,
Similarly, x – y ≤ 3
⇒ – y ≤ – x + 3
⇒ y ≥ x – 3
The given linear inequality covers the area (shaded region) above the straight line y = x – 3 as shown below,
Hence, the solution of the two linear inequalities is the common area (shaded region) covered by the two inequalities as shown below,
∴ The solution to the given linear inequalities lies in the first and second quadrants.

⇒ AX = B
⇒ X = A-1 B = \(\frac{{{\rm{adj\;}}\left( {\rm{A}} \right)}}{{\det {\rm{\;}}({\rm{A}})}}{\rm{\;B}}\)
⇒ If det (A) ≠ 0, system is consistent has unique solution .
⇒ If det (A) = 0 and (adj A). B = 0, system is consistent, with infinitely many solutions .
⇒ If det (A) = 0 and (adj A). B ≠ 0, system is inconsistent (no solution)
Calculation:
Given
For no solution or infinitely many solutions
\(⇒ \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} α &1&1\\ 1&α &1\\ 1&1&α \end{array}} \right|\) = 0
⇒ α = 1, α = -2
But for α = 1, clearly, there are infinitely many solutions as column matrix B will become zero matrices. ⇒ (adj A). B = O
For no solution,
When we put α = - 2 then matrix B will become a non zero column matrix with the same entries as -3 ⇒ (adj A). B ≠ O
So, α = - 2 for no solu tion.

If the curve y = a√x + bx, passes through the point (1, 2) and the area bounded by the curve, line x = 4 and x-axis is 8 sq. unit, then :
Solution
Concept:
Let y = f(a) then the area bounded by the curve, line x =a and x = b is given by
\(\rm Area = \int_{a}^{b}f(x)dx\)
Calculations :
Given, the curve \(y=a\sqrt{x}+bx\) passes through the point (1, 2)
Hence, the point (1, 2) will satisfy the curve \(y=a\sqrt{x}+bx\) .
⇒2 = a(1) + b(1)
⇒ a + b = 2 ....(1)
Also, given the area bounded by the curve, line x = 4 and x - axis is 8 sq. unit
\(\rm Area = \int_{0}^{4}(a\sqrt x + bx)dx\)
⇒ 8 = \(\rm [a \dfrac {x^{\frac 3 2}}{\frac 3 2} + b \frac{x^2}{2}]_0^4\)
⇒ 8 = \(\rm \dfrac{2a}{3}. 8 + 8b \)
⇒ 2a + 3b = 3....(2)
Solve equation (1) and (2) simultaneously, we get
a = 3 an d b = -1

1. Integration by Substitution:
If the given integration is of the form \(\smallint {\rm{g}}\left( {{\rm{f}}\left( {\rm{x}} \right)} \right){\rm{f'}}\left( {\rm{x}} \right){\rm{dx}}\) where \({\rm{g}}\left( {\rm{x}} \right)\) and \({\rm{f}}\left( {\rm{x}} \right)\) are both differentiable functions then we substitute \({\rm{f}}\left( {\rm{x}} \right) = {\rm{u}}\) which implies that \({\rm{f'}}\left( {\rm{x}} \right){\rm{dx}} = {\rm{du}}\) . Therefore, the integral becomes \(\smallint {\rm{g}}\left( {\rm{u}} \right){\rm{du}}\) which can be solved by general formulas. \(\rm \smallint \sec^2 x\cdot dx = \tan x + c\) Solution:
Given: \(\rm \smallint \frac {\sec^2 ({ln{(x)}})}{x} dx\)
In the given problem substitute \(\ln \left( {\rm{x}} \right) = u\) therefore, \(\frac{{{\rm{dx}}}}{{\rm{x}}} = {\rm{du}}\) .
The given integral becomes
\(\smallint \sec^2 {\rm{u}}\cdot du= \tan {\rm{u}} + {\rm{C}}\)
Resubstitute \({\rm{u}} = \ln \left( {\rm{x}} \right)\) .

Solution
Calculation:
Given: A = \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 1&{ - 2}\\ 4&5 \end{array}} \right]\) and f(t) = t2 - 3t + 7
Now,
A2 = \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 1&{ - 2}\\ 4&5 \end{array}} \right]\) \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 1&{ - 2}\\ 4&5 \end{array}} \right]\) = \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} -7&{ - 12}\\ 24&17 \end{array}} \right]\)
Also, f(A) = A 2 - 3A + 7
⇒ f(A) = \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} -7&{ - 12}\\ 24&17 \end{array}} \right]\) - 3\(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 1&{ - 2}\\ 4&5 \end{array}} \right]\) + 7\(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 1&0\\ { 0}&{1} \end{array}} \right]\)
⇒ f(A) = \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} -3&-6\\ {12}&{9} \end{array}} \right]\)

Question 32 5 / -1
The differential form of the equation
y = ae-2x + be2x
Solution
Concept:
To form the differential equation of the given equation
Differentiate the equation, the number of times as many as the constants are there. Find out the constants in terms of the variables. Substitute the variables in the original equation. Calculation:
Given equation is y = ae-2x + be2x
There are two constants a and b so differentiate two times
Differentiating w.r.t x, we get
y' = -2ae-2x + 2be2x
Differentiating again w.r.t x
y'' = 4ae-2x + 4be2x
y'' = 4(ae-2x + be2x )
y'' = 4y
y'' - 4y = 0
Question 33 5 / -1
Which of the following is the point of intersection of line \(\frac{{x - 4}}{2} = \frac{{y - 5}}{2} = \frac{{z - 3}}{1}\) and the plane, x + y + z = 2?
Solution
Calculation:
From the question, the line equation given is:
\(\frac{{x - 4}}{2} = \frac{{y - 5}}{2} = \frac{{z - 3}}{1}\)
Let’s assume the point on the line as ‘P’.
Now,
\(\frac{{x - 4}}{2} = \frac{{y - 5}}{2} = \frac{{z - 3}}{1} = r\)
⇒ x = 2r + 4; y = 2r + 5; and z = r + 3
The point on the line is given as:
P(x, y, z) = (2r + 4, 2r + 5, r + 3)
The point of intersection between the given line and plane is obtained.
On substituting point in the plane,
(2r + 4) + (2r + 5) + (r + 3) = 2
⇒ 5r = -10
∴ r = -2
Now, the point ‘P’ is:
∴ P(0, 1, 1)
Therefore, option (c) is the correct answer.

Solution
Concept:
(A + B)2 = (A + B) . (A + B)
⇒ (A + B)2 = A2 + AB + B2 + BA
Calculations:
Here,
AB = \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {\rm{0}}&{\rm{1}}\\ {\rm{1}}&{\rm{0}} \end{array}} \right]\,\,\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {\rm{0}}&{{\rm{ - i}}}\\ {\rm{i}}&{\rm{0}} \end{array}} \right]\,{\rm{ = }}\,\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {\rm{i}}&{\rm{0}}\\ {\rm{0}}&{{\rm{ - i}}} \end{array}} \right]\)
And,
BA = \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {\rm{0}}&{\rm{-i}}\\ {\rm{i}}&{\rm{0}} \end{array}} \right]\,\,\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {\rm{0}}&{{\rm{ 1}}}\\ {\rm{1}}&{\rm{0}} \end{array}} \right]\,{\rm{ = }}\,\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {\rm{-i}}&{\rm{0}}\\ {\rm{0}}&{{\rm{ i}}} \end{array}} \right]\) = - AB
∴ AB + BA = O
⇒ (A + B)2 = A2 + B2
Question 35 5 / -1

\(\left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {{x_1}}&{{y_1}}&{{z_1}}\\ {{x_2}}&{{y_2}}&{{z_2}}\\ {{x_3}}&{{y_3}}&{{z_3}} \end{array}} \right| = 0\)
CALCULATION :
Given: The points (2,-3, 4), (-1,2, 1) and (k, 1/3, 2) are collinear
As we know that, if the points (x1 , y1 , z1 ), (x2 , y2 , z2 ) and (x3 , y3 , z3 ) be collinear then
\(\left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {{x_1}}&{{y_1}}&{{z_1}}\\ {{x_2}}&{{y_2}}&{{z_2}}\\ {{x_3}}&{{y_3}}&{{z_3}} \end{array}} \right| = 0\)
Here, x1 = 2, y1 = -3, z1 = 4, x2 = -1, y2 = 2, z2 = 1, x3 = k, y3 = 1/3 and z3 = 2
⇒ \(\left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 2&{ - 3}&4\\ { - 1}&2&1\\ k&{\frac{1}{3}}&2 \end{array}} \right| = 0\)
⇒ 2 × (4 - 1/3) + 3 × (- 2 - k) + 4 × (-1/3- 2k) = 0
⇒ 8 - 2/3 - 6 - 3k - 4/3 - 8k = 0
⇒ 11k = 0
⇒ k = 0
Hence, option C is the correct answer.
Question 36 5 / -1
There are two linear inequations represented by x + 2y ≥ 3 and x - y ≥ -3 . The lines are being drawn in the figure below and some of the regions are being shaded with different colors.
Which region based on color contains the solutions of these two inequations?
Solution
Concept:
Inequality: Two real expressions and numbers related by symbols ≥, ≤, < or > are inequalities.
Examples: x - y ≥ 0 and x + y < 5.
A linear inequation in two variables represents a line that divides the plane into two halves. A vertical line will divide the plane into left half-plane and right half-plane . A nonvertical line will divide the plane into the upper half-plane and lower half-plane .
Calculation:
Given:
The pair of inequations are :
x + 2y ≥ 3 ....(1)
x - y ≥ -3 ....(2)
To draw the line of inequation (1), we need to find two points for the corresponding equation. Putting x = 0 in 1 gives y = 3/2. Similarly putting y = 0, gives x = 3. Hence the two points on the line are (0, 3/2) and (3, 0). Join the points as well as extended them to either side to get a decent outlook of the line.
Similarly, a line for inequation (2) will be made.
The lines of their respective equations are shown in the figure below:
For x + 2y ≥ 3, the sum of x and y will always be greater than or equal to 3 which is only possible if we choose the region above the x + 2y = 3 line or the upper half-plane .
Similarly for x - y ≥ 3, x should be greater than y, which means y should be smaller, which is only possible if we take the region below x - y = 3 line or the lower half-plane ,
The overlapped region or the feasible regio n will represent the region containing the solution to the inequations which is shown in green in the figure below:
So, the correct answer is option (2).
Additional Information
How to draw the inequalities:
It is important to know the technique to solve linear inequations. Suppose there are two inequations represented by,
x - 2y ≥ 5
x + 2y ≤ 6
The lines are shown below in the figure:
For the inequation, x - 2y ≥ 5, the points on the line x - 2y = 5 will only satisfy the equation. The tilted line divides the X-Y plane into an upper and lower half-plane , hence y will be the important parameter since its impact on the inequation will decide which half-plane needs to be chosen to reach the solution. Since we need the value greater than 5 according to the inequation, we have to decrease the value of y and go down. Hence area under the line x - 2y = 5, the lower half-plane as well as points on the line will contain the solution of inequation along with the line as shown in the figure below with blue shaded region .
Similarly, for inequation x + 2y ≤ 6, the points on equation line x + 2y = 6 will represent will satisfy the equation. Again, the tilted line divide the X-Y plane into the upper and lower half-plane , hence y will be the important parameter. Since we need the value less than 6 according to the inequation, we have to decrease the value of y. Hence area under the line x + 2y = 6, the lower half-plane as well as points on the line will contain the solution of inequation as shown in the figure below with the orange shaded region .a
The shaded regions in the above two figures show the solution for individual inequations. The overall solution for both the inequations will be the overlapped area of the shaded regions of the two figures along with a portion of lines in the overlapped regions . The overlapped region is also called the feasible region.
It is important to note that the region of the solution is unbounded , which means it will extend when we go further left, right, or downwards under the lines, but only a small portion of it has been shown in the figure due to space constraints.
Question 37 5 / -1
The per-unit profit of a product is given by 600 - 5x, where x is the number of units of the product being sold. What is the expression of marginal revenue?
Solution
Concept :
Any company or business has to spend certain costs for running its business. These costs are classified as fixed costs and variable costs . Fixed Cost: These are the expenses that are independent of the production output units. Even with zero production, this cost has to be paid regularly. Variable Cost: These expenses are dependent on the production output and will increase with an increase in production. Some examples are the cost of raw material, packaging costs, energy consumption per unit cost, etc. Cost Function or Total cost (C(x)): It is represented in terms of the sum of variable cost V(x) for producing ‘x’ units and fixed cost k as below: C(x) = V(x) + k ….(1)
Marginal Cost: It is the increase in total cost due to a unit increase in output. It is calculated by deriving the partial derivative of the cost function with respect to output. Calculation :
Given:
Number of units of milk produced = x units Per unit profit, p = 600 - 5x Revenue Function , R (x) = px
⇒ R (x) = (600 - 5x) × x
⇒ R (x) =600x - 5x2

Question 38 5 / -1
Two events A and B are independent and equally likely.
Also \(P\left( {A \cup B} \right) = \frac{3}{4}\)
P(A) = ?
Solution
P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A∩B)
Given the two events are independent, so:
P(A∩B) = P(A).P(B)
Let the probability of event A happening be x. The probability of event B happening will also be x. (Given, the two events are equally likely)
P(A∪B) = x + x – x.x
∴ 2x – x2 = 0.75
⇒ x2 – 2x + 0.75 = 0
10x2 – 20x + 7.5 = 0
10x2 – 15x – 5x + 7.5 = 0
(5x – 2.5) (2x - 3) = 0
\(\Rightarrow x = \frac{1}{2}~or~\frac{3}{2}\)
As x can not be greater than 1, hence x = 0.5
Question 39 5 / -1
The probability density function for a continuous random variable x is given by

Then the mean value of x is ______.
Solution
Concept:
∫ f(x).dx = 1
Mean (μ) = ∫ x.f(x).dx
Calculation:
\({\rm{Mean\;}}\left( \mu \right) = \mathop \smallint \nolimits_0^6 x.f\left( x \right).dx\)
\(= \mathop \smallint \nolimits_0^2 k{x^2}.dx + \mathop \smallint \nolimits_2^4 2kx.dx + \mathop \smallint \nolimits_4^6 x\left( { - kx + 6k} \right).dx\)
\( = k\left[ {\frac{{{x^3}}}{3}} \right]_0^2 + 2k\left[ {\frac{{{x^2}}}{2}} \right]_2^4 - k\left[ {\frac{{{x^3}}}{3}} \right]_4^6 + 6k\left[ {\frac{{{x^2}}}{2}} \right]_4^6\)
\(\mu = \frac{{8k}}{3} + 12k - \frac{{152k}}{3} + 60k\)
\(\mu = 24k = 24 \times \frac{1}{8}\)
∴ μ = 3

In a box containing 100 eggs, 10 eggs are rotten. The probability that out of a sample of 5 eggs none is rotten if the sampling is with replacement is
Solution
Concept:
Binomial distribution The binomial distribution formula is,
:P (X = r) = \({{\bf{n}}_{{{\bf{C}}_{\bf{r}}}}}{{\bf{p}}^{\bf{r}}}{{\bf{q}}^{{\bf{n}} - {\bf{r}}}}\)
P(X) = probability of success on an individual trial
p = probability of “success”, r = number of success, q = probability of “failure” OR q = 1- p
n = number of trials
\({{\rm{n}}_{{{\rm{C}}_{\rm{r}}}}} = \frac{{{\rm{n}}!}}{{\left( {{\rm{n}} - {\rm{r}}} \right)!{\rm{r}}!}}\) Calculations:
Let p (fresh egg) \( = \frac{{90}}{{100}} = \frac{9}{{10}} = p\)
P(rotten egg) \( = \frac{{10}}{{100}} = \frac{1}{{10}} = q;\) n = 5, r = 5
So the probability that no egg is rotten,
\( = {}^5{C_5}{\left( {\frac{9}{{10}}} \right)^5}{\left( {\frac{1}{{10}}} \right)^0} = {\left( {\frac{9}{{10}}} \right)^5}.\)

Calculation
\(⇒ \sum\limits_{k = 0}^4 {C{K^2} = 1}\)

Let e be the identity element of A with respect to *.
As we know that if e is an identity element of a non-empty set S with respect to a binary operation * then a * e = e * a = a ∀ a ∈ S .
Let a ∈ A and because e is the identity element of A with respect to given operation *.
.e a * e = a = e * a ∀ a ∈ Q - {1} .
According to the definition of *, we have
⇒ a * e = ae = a
⇒ e = 1
Hence, 1 is the identity element of A with respect to given operation *.

Question 45 5 / -1
Joe Biden and Jeff Bezos are two partnership in a business. Joe is an active partner while Joff is a sleeping one. Joe invest $ 5000 and Jeff invest $ 6000. Joe receives 25/2 percent of the profit for managing the business and the rest is divided in proportion to their investment. What does each get out of a profit of $ 880?
Solution
Given∶
Joe invests $ 5000.
Jeff invests $ 6000.
Total profit = $ 880
Formula Used∶
Ratio of their investment = ratio of their profit
Calculation∶
Total profit = $ 880
Joe's share for managing the business, i.e.,
⇒ 25/2 % of 880 = 25/2 × 880/100 = $ 110
The remaining profit of Joe and Jeff as per their investment = 880 - 110 = $ 770
Ratio of amounts = 5000 ∶ 6000 = 5 ∶ 6
Sum of ratios = 5 + 6 = 11
Joe's share = 770 × 5/11 = $ 350
Joe's total share = 350 + 110 = $ 460

Question 46 5 / -1
A can row 15 km/h in still water, it takes him twice long as time to row up as to row as down the River. Find the rate downstream?
Solution
Calculation:
Speed of A in still water = 15km/h
Let rate of stream be x km/h
Distance = d km
Then, rate of downstream = (15 + x) km/h
Rate of upstream = (15 – x) km/h
Time is taken to travel downstream = 2 × times taken to travel upstream
\(\frac{15 + x }{d} = 2 \times \frac{15 - x}{d}\)
⇒ 15 + x = 30 - 2x
⇒ 3x = 15
⇒ x = 5 Km/h
∴ Rate of stream = 5 km/hr
∴ The rate of downstream = (15 + 5) km/hr = 20km/hr

300 gm of sugar solution has 40% of sugar in the solution in it. How much sugar should be added to make it 50% in the solution?
Solution
According to the question,
40% sugar is in the solution, then,
Quantity of the sugar in the mixture initially-
\(= 40 \times \frac{{300}}{{100}} = 120gm\)
Now, by the condition in the question:
\(\Rightarrow \frac{{120 + x}}{{300 + x}} = \frac{{50}}{{100}}\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{{120 + x}}{{300 + x}} = \frac{1}{2}\)
⇒ 240 + 2x = 300 + x
⇒ x = 60 gm
Hence, the required answer is 60 gm.
Question 48 5 / -1
When 67 is divided by a number, say x, a remainder of 3 is obtained. If x < 50, then largest value of x is,
Solution
Concept:
Given two positive integers X and Y such that X > Y and Y ≠ 0, there will be two unique integers Q and R such that the following can be written: X = Y × Q + R ….(1)
Where, R = Remainder , 0≤RThe same expression can be written as shown below: X mod Y = R ….(2)
Where mod is the modulo operator which gives the remainder after X is divided by Y.
Calculation:
Given: 67 when divided by x, gives the value of remainder as 3.
Hence x must be a factor of (67-3) = 64. Factors of 64 are {1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64}. Since x < 50, the largest value of x will be 32. So, the correct answer is option 3.
Question 49 5 / -1
If X = {a, b, c} and R is a relation on X such that R = {(a, a), (b, b), (c, c)}. Then R is a/an ?
Solution
Concept :
Let A be a non-empty set then the relation IA = {(a, a): ∀ a ∈ A} on A is called the identity relation on A.
Let R be a relation on a non-empty set A, if every element of A is related to itself then R is said to be a reflexive relation.
Thus, R is reflexive ⇔ (a, a) ∈ R, ∀ a ∈ A.
Let R be a relation on a non-empty set A, then the relation R is said to be symmetric relation ⇔ (a, b) ∈ R ⇒ (b, a) ∀ a, b ∈ A.
Let R be a relation on a non-empty set A, then the relation R is said to be anti-symmetric
⇔ (a, b) ∈ R and (b, a) ∈ R ⇒ a = b ∀ a, b ∈ A.
Let R be a relation on a non-empty set A, then the relation R is said to be transitive relation ⇔ (a, b) ∈ R and (b, c) ∈ R ⇒ (a, c) ∈ R, ∀ a, b, c ∈ A.
Let R be a relation on a non-empty set A, then the relation R is said to be equivalence relation if R is reflexive, symmetric and transitive.
Note:
The identity relation on a non-empty set is always reflexive , symmetric , anti-symmetric and transitive .
Calculation :
Given: X = {a, b, c} and R is a relation on X such that R = {(a, a), (b, b), (c, c)}
As we can see that, (x, x) ∈ R ∀ x ∈ X ⇒ R is an identity relation on X.
We know that, the identity relation on a non-empty set is always reflexive , symmetric , anti-symmetric and transitive.
Question 50 5 / -1
Which of the following is an empty set?
Solution
Concept:
A set which does not contain any element is called an empty set and it is denoted by ϕ.
Calculation:
Option 1 : {x : x is a rational number and x2 - 1 = 0}
As we can see that x = ± 1 satisfies the equation x2 - 1 = 0
⇒ {x : x is a rational number and x2 - 1 = 0} is not an empty set.
Option 2 : {x : x is a rational number and x2 - 9 = 0}
As we can see that, x = ± 3 satisfies the equation x2 - 9 = 0
⇒ {x : x is a rational number and x2 - 9 = 0} is not an empty set
Option 3 : {x : x is a rational number and x2 - 4 = 0}
As we know that, x = ± 2 satisfies the equation x2 - 4 = 0
⇒ {x : x is a rational number and x2 - 4 = 0} is not an empty set
Option 4 : {x : x is a rational number and x2 + 1 = 0}
As we know that, x = ± i satisfies the equation x2 + 1 = 0 but x = ± i is not a rational number.
⇒ {x : x is a rational number and x2 + 1 = 0} is an empty set.
Hence, option 4 is correct.
