Question 1 5 / -1
Which of the following is NOT a property of definite integral?
Solution
Concept:
Property of definite integral :
1) If f(x) is an odd function then,
\(\int\limits_{ - a}^a {f(x)dx} = 0\)
2) If f(x) is an even function then,
\(\int\limits_{ - a}^a {f(x)dx} =2\int\limits_0^a {f(x)dx}\)
3) \(\mathop \smallint \nolimits_0^{\rm{a}} {\rm{f}}\left( {\rm{x}} \right){\rm{dx}} = \mathop \smallint \nolimits_0^{\rm{a}} {\rm{f}}\left( {{\rm{a}} - {\rm{x}}} \right){\rm{dx}}\)
4) \(\rm \int_a^bf(x)\ dx=\int_a^bf(a+b-x)\ dx\)
5) If f(x) = f(2a - x), then, \(\rm \int_0^{2a}f(x)\ dx=2\int_0^af(x)\ dx\)
Question 2 5 / -1
The solution of the differential equation \(\frac{dx}{dy} + Px =Q\) , where P and Q are constants or functions of y, is given by
Solution
Concept:
A differential equation is called linear if there are no multiplications among dependent variables and their derivatives. Integrating factors of \(\frac{dx}{dy} + Px =Q\) is \(e^{∫Pdy}\) Calculation:
Consider the differential equation of type, \(\frac{dx}{dy} + P(y)x = Q(y)\)
Then, the integrating factor (I.F.) = \(e^{∫P(y).dy}\) Hence multiplying the I.F. in the equation ⇒ \(e^{∫P(y)dy}.\frac{dx}{dy} + e^{∫P(y)dy}.P(y)x = e^{∫P(y)dy}.Q(y)\)
⇒ \(e^{∫P(y)dy}.dx+ P(y)xe^{∫P(y)dy}.dy = e^{∫P(y)dy}.Q(y)dy\)
⇒ \(d(xe^{∫P(y)dy}) = e^{∫P(y)dy}.Q(y)dy\)
On integrating both sides ⇒ \(∫d(xe^{∫P(y)dy}) = ∫e^{∫P(y)dy}Q(y).dy\)
⇒ \(xe^{∫P(y)dy} = ∫e^{∫P(y)dy}Q(y).dy + c\)
⇒ \(x.e^{∫Pdy} = ∫Qe^{∫Pdy}dy + c\)
∴ The solution of the differential equation \(\frac{dx}{dy} + Px =Q\) is \(x.e^{∫Pdy} = ∫Qe^{∫Pdy}dy + c\)
Question 3 5 / -1
If A and B are two mutually exclusive events such that P(A) = 0.4 and P(A ∪ B) = 0.6 then P(B) = ?
Solution
Concept:
P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B)
For mutually exclusive events A and B, P(A ∩ B) = 0
Calculation:
We know, for mutually exclusive events A and B, P(A ∩ B) = 0
∴ P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) - 0
= P(A) + P(B)
⇒ 0.6 = 0.4 + P(B)
∴ P(B) = 0.2
Hence, the correct option is 1.
Question 4 5 / -1
Let \(A = \begin{bmatrix} \cos^2 x & \sin^2 x \\\ \sin^2 x & \cos^2 x \end{bmatrix}\) and \(B = \begin{bmatrix} \sin^2 x & \cos^2 x \\\ \cos^2 x & \sin^2 x \end{bmatrix}\) . Then the determinant of the matrix A + B is
Solution
Concept:
A matrix can only be added to another matrix if the two matrices have the same dimensions. Their sum is obtained by summing each element of one matrix to the corresponding element of the other matrix.
Determinant:- It is the scalar value or number calculated using a square matrix. It is denoted by |A|, det A
If det A = \(\begin{bmatrix} a_{11} \ a_{12} \\\ a_{21}\ a_{22} \end{bmatrix}\)
det A = a11 × a22 - a12 × a21
Formula:
sin2 x + cos2 x = 1
Calculation:
\(A = \begin{bmatrix} \cos^2 x & \sin^2 x \\\ \sin^2 x & \cos^2 x \end{bmatrix}\) and \(B = \begin{bmatrix} \sin^2 x & \cos^2 x \\\ \cos^2 x & \sin^2 x \end{bmatrix}\)
⇒ \( \begin{bmatrix} \cos^2 x & \sin^2 x \\\ \sin^2 x & \cos^2 x \end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix} \sin^2 x & \cos^2 x \\\ \cos^2 x & \sin^2 x \end{bmatrix}\)
⇒ \( \begin{bmatrix} \cos^2 x + sin^2 x& \sin^2 x +cos^2 x \\\ \sin^2 x + cos^2x & \cos^2x + sin^2 x \end{bmatrix}\)
⇒ \( \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 \\\ 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \)
⇒ det (A + B) = 1 × 1 - 1 × 1
⇒ det (A + B) = 0
∴ The value of det (A + B) = 0.
Question 5 5 / -1
What is the value of cos (2tan -1 x + 2cot -1 x) ?
Solution
Concept:
tan-1 x + cot-1 x = \(\rm \frac {π}{2}\)
Calculation:
To Find: Value of cos (2tan-1 x + 2cot-1 x)
cos (2tan-1 x + 2cot-1 x) = cos 2(tan-1 x + cot-1 x)
As we know, tan-1 x + cot-1 x = \(\rm \frac {π}{2}\)
cos (2tan-1 x + 2cot-1 x) = cos [2 × \(\rm \frac {π}{2}\) ]
= cos π
= -1
Question 6 5 / -1
Which of the following statements is FALSE for a differentiable function f(x)?
Solution
Explanation:
Statements A and B are true by definition of a critical point. Statement D is also true. Statement C is false: f(x) = 1 / x has no critical points. The point x = 0 is not considered.as a critical point since it is not included in the domain of \(f\left( x \right)\) i.e. \(f'\left( x \right) = - 1/{x^2}\) is neither 0 nor undefined, for all x in the domain of f(x) as the domain of f(x) = 1/x is R - {0}.
Question 7 5 / -1
If \(A = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 3&4&9\\ {11}&6&7\\ 8&9&5 \end{array}} \right]\) and |2A| = k then find the value of k ?
Solution
CONCEPT :
If \(A = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {{a_{11}}}&{{a_{12}}}&{{a_{13}}}\\ {{a_{21}}}&{{a_{22}}}&{{a_{23}}}\\ {{a_{31}}}&{{a_{32}}}&{{a_{33}}} \end{array}} \right]\) is a square matrix of order 3 , then determinant of A is given by |A| = a11 × {(a22 × a33 ) – (a23 × a32 )} - a12 × {(a21 × a33 ) – (a23 × a31 )} + a13 × {(a21 × a32 ) – (a22 × a31 )} If A is a matrix of order n, then |k ⋅ A| = kn ⋅ |A|, where k ∈ R. CALCULATION :
Given: \(A = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 3&4&9\\ {11}&6&7\\ 8&9&5 \end{array}} \right]\) and |2A| = k
⇒ |A| = 3 × (30 - 63) - 4 × (55 - 56) + 9 × (99 - 48)
⇒ |A| = - 99 + 4 + 459 = 364
As we know that, if A is a matrix of order n, then |k ⋅ A| = kn ⋅ |A|, where k ∈ R.
⇒ |2A| = 23 ⋅ 364 = 2912
Hence, the correct option is 3.
Question 8 5 / -1
The following plot shows a function y which varies linearly with x. The value of \(I = \mathop \smallint \nolimits_1^2 ydx\) is ________.
Solution
Given:
\(I = \mathop \smallint \nolimits_1^2 ydx\)
Since the integration is done w.r.t 'x' variable, 'y' in terms of x can be written as:
y = mx + c
The slope of the given line will be:
\(m=\frac{1-0}{0-(-1)}=1\)
y = x + c
when x = 0, y = 1, i.e.
c = 1
∴ y = x + 1
\(I = \mathop \smallint \nolimits_1^2 ydx= \mathop \smallint \nolimits_1^2 \left( {x + 1} \right)dx\)
\(= \left[ {\frac{{{x^2}}}{2} + x} \right]_1^2 = 4 - \frac{3}{2}\)
= 2.5
Question 9 5 / -1
The component of the vector \(\hat i - \hat j\) along the vector \(\vec i + \vec j\) will be a -
Solution
CONCEPT :
The vector form of the component of \(\vec{a}\) along \(\vec{b}\) = \(\rm \left(\dfrac {\vec a. \vec b}{|\vec b|^2}\right)\vec b\)
CALCULATION :
Let \(\vec a = \hat i - \hat j \ and \ \vec b = \vec i + \vec j\)
Here, we have to find the component of \(\vec{a}\) along \(\vec{b}\) .
⇒ \(\vec a \cdot \vec b = 1 - 1 = 0 \ and \ |\vec b| = \sqrt 2\)
⇒ The vector form of the component of \(\vec{a}\) along \(\vec{b}\) = \(\rm \left(\dfrac {\vec a. \vec b}{|\vec b|^2}\right)\vec b = \vec O\)
Hence, option 2 is correct.
Question 10 5 / -1
Consider the following statements for f(x) = e-|x| ;
1. The function is continuous at x = 0.
2. The function is differentiable at x = 0.
Which of the above statements is / are correct?
Solution
Concept:
f(x) = |x| ⇒ f(x) = x if x > 0, and f(x) = -x, x < 0
A function f(x) is continuous at x = a, if \(\rm\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{-}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{+}} f(x)=lim _{x \rightarrow a} f(x)\)
A function f(x) is differentiable at x = a, if LHD = RHD
\(\begin{array}{l} \rm L H D=\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{-}}f'(x)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0^{-}} \frac{f(a-h)-f(a)}{-h} \\ \rm R H D=\lim _{x \rightarrow a^{+}}f'(x)=\lim _{h \rightarrow 0^{+}} \frac{f(a+h)-f(a)}{h} \end{array}\)
Calculation:
Here, f(x) = e-|x|
\(\text {LHL =}\rm\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} f(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}}e^{-|x|}=e^0=1\\ \text {RHL =}\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} f(x)=lim _{x \rightarrow 0^+} e^{-|x|}=e^0=1\\ lim _{x \rightarrow 0}f(x)=lim _{x \rightarrow 0}e^{-|x|}=e^0=1\)
So, the function is continuous at x = 0
f(x) = e-|x|
f'(x) = ex for x < 0 and f'(x) = -e-x for x > 0
\(\rm LHD=\rm \lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}}f'(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}}e^x=e^0=1\\ \rm RHD=\rm \lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}}f'(x)=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}}-e^{-x}=-e^0=-1\)
Here, LHD ≠ RHD so f(x) is not differentiable at x = 0
Hence, option (1) is correct.
Question 11 5 / -1
The value (round off to one decimal place) of \(\mathop \smallint \nolimits_{ - 1}^1 x\;{e^{\left| x \right|}}dx\) ______
Solution
Concept:
If f(-x) = f(x) then the function is said to be even function
If f(-x) = - f(x) then the function is said to be odd function.
For an odd function:
\(\mathop \smallint \nolimits_{ - a}^a x\;{f(x)}dx\) = 0
For an even function
\(\mathop \smallint \nolimits_{ - a}^a x\;{f(x)}dx\) = 2 × \(\mathop \smallint \nolimits_{ 0}^a x\;{f(x)}dx\)
Calculation:
Given:
Function f(x) = x e|x|
Integral is -1 to 1.
Here,
f(-x) = -x e|-x| = -x e|x| = - f(x)
∴ The given function is an odd function.
Now, as the function is odd,
\(\mathop \smallint \nolimits_{ - 1}^1 x\;{e^{\left| x \right|}}dx\) = 0
Question 12 5 / -1
The equation of the tangent to the curve given by x = a sin3 t, y = b cos3 t at a point where t = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) will be -
Solution
Concept:
If the parametric equations x = x(t) and y = y(t), then the equation of the tangent line at t = a is found using the following steps:Find the point at which the tangent is drawn, (xo , yo ) by substituting = a in the given parametric equations. i.e., (xo , yo ) = [x(a), y(a) Find the derivative of the function using, \(\frac{dy}{dx} =\frac{\frac{dy}{dt} }{\frac{dx}{dt} }\)
Find the slope of the tangent (m) by substituting either t = a in the above derivative Find the equation of the tangent line using, y - yo = m(x - xo )
Formula:
\(\frac{d}{dx}(x^n) = nx^{n -1} \)
Calculation:
x = a sin3 t, y = a cos3 t
Differentiate 'x' with respect to 't'
⇒ \(\frac{dx}{dt} = a\frac{d}{dt}(sint)^3\)
⇒ \(\frac{dx}{dt} = a.3sin^2t\frac{d}{dt}(sint)\)
⇒ \(\frac{dx}{dt} = 3asin^2t.cost\) ----- equation (1) [∵ \(\frac{d}{dt}(sint) = cost\) ]
⇒ \(\frac{dx}{dt} = 3asin^2t.cost\)
Differentiate 'y' with respect to 't'
⇒ \(\frac{dy}{dt} = b.\frac{d}{dt}(cost)^3\)
⇒ \(\frac{dy}{dt} = b.3cos^2t\frac{d}{dt}(cost)\)
⇒ \(\frac{dy}{dt} = -3bcos^2tsint\) ----- equation(2) [∵ \(\frac{d}{dt}(cost) = - sint\) ]
Now, divide equation (2) by equation (1)
⇒ \(\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\frac{dy}{dt}}{\frac{dx}{dt}}\)
⇒ \(\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{- 3bcos^2t.sint}{3asin^2t.cost}\)
⇒ \(\frac{dy}{dx} = - \frac{b}{a}. \frac{cost}{sint}\) is the slope of the tangent
The slope at t = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)
⇒ \(\frac{dy}{dx}|_{t = \frac{\pi}{2}} = - \frac{b}{a}. \frac{cos\frac{\pi}{2}}{sin\frac{\pi}{2}}\)
⇒ \(\frac{dy}{dx} = - \frac{b}{a}.\frac{0}{1}\) [∵ \(cos\frac{\pi}{2} = 0\) and \(sin\frac{\pi}{2} = 1\) ]
⇒ \(\frac{dy}{dx} = 0\)
So, the tangent to the given curve will be parallel to the x-axis.
Additional Information For equation of tangent:
At t = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)
⇒ x = asin3 t
⇒ \(x = a(sin\frac{\pi}{2})^3\)
⇒ x = a
⇒ y = bcos3 t
⇒ \(y = b(cos\frac{\pi}{2})^3\)
⇒ y = 0
⇒ (x1 , y1 ) = (a, 0)
Equation of tangent passing through (a, 0) and slope is 0
⇒ y - y1 = m(x - x1 )
⇒ y - 0 = 0(x - a)
⇒ y = 0
∴ The required equation of tangent is y = 0
Question 13 5 / -1
According to the Mean Value Theorem, for a continuous function f(x) in the interval [a, b], there exists a value ξ in this interval such that \(\mathop \smallint \limits_a^b f\left( x \right)dx =\)
Solution
Concept:
Mean value theorem for integrals:
Let f be continuous on [a, b]. Then there is a point xo in (a, b) such that
\(f\left( {{x_o}} \right) = \frac{1}{{b - a}}{\rm{\;}}\mathop \smallint \limits_a^b f\left( x \right)dx\)
Calculation:
\(f\left( \xi \right) = \frac{1}{{b - a}}{\rm{\;}}\mathop \smallint \limits_a^b f\left( x \right)dx\)
\(\mathop \smallint \limits_a^b f\left( x \right)dx = f\left( \xi \right)\left( {b - a} \right)\)
Question 14 5 / -1
If f(x) = (x + 1) and g(x) = (x2 - 7) and t(x) = f(x) + g(x) then find the minimum value of t(x)
Solution
Calculation:
f(x) = x + 1
g(x) = (x2 - 7)
t(x) = x + 1 + x2 - 7 = x2 + x - 6
Let y = x2 + x - 6
⇒ y = x2 + x + 1/4 - 1/4 - 6
⇒ y = (x + 1/2)2 - 25/4
⇒ y has minimum value when (x + 1/2) = 0 at x = -1/2
∴ Minimum value of t(x) = -25/4
Alternate Method
f(x) = x + 1
g(x) = (x2 - 7)
t(x) = x + 1 + x2 - 7 = x2 + x - 6
⇒ y has minimum value at = (-1)/(2 × 1) = -1/2
∴ Minimum value of y t(x) = -25/4
Question 15 5 / -1
Two digits out of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 are chosen at random and multiplied together. What is the probability that the last digit in the product appears as 0?
Solution
Formula used:
Selection of r things out of total n things:
\(^nC_r = \frac{n!}{r!\times (n-r)!}\)
Probability of occurrence of the event:
P(E) = \(\frac{n(E)}{n(S)}\)
Where,
n(E) = Number of favorable outcome
n(S) = Number of possible outcome
Calculation:
Given digits are 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
As discussed above we know, that two digits can be chosen out of 5 in 5 C2 ways.
⇒ n(S) = 5 C2 = \(\frac{5!}{2!\times 3!}\)
⇒ n(S) = \(\frac{5 \times 4 \times 3!}{2 \times 1\times 3!} = 10\)
⇒ n(S) = 10
Since the last digit in the product appears as 0 which is only possible when any of 2 or 4 is multiplied by 5 so possible required result,
(E) = {(2, 5), (5, 2), (4, 5), (5, 4)}
⇒ n(E) = 4
Hence, required probability
P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 4/10
⇒ P(E) = 2/5
∴ Required probability is \(\frac{2}{5}\) .
Question 16 5 / -1
If tan-1 x + tan-1 y + tan-1 z = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) , then
Solution
Formula:
\(tan^{-1}x + tan^{-1}y = tan^{-1}\frac{x + y}{1 - xy}\)
\(\frac{π}{2} - tan^{-1}z = cot^{-1}z\)
\(cot^{-1}z = tan^{-1}\frac{1}{z}\)
Calculation:
tan -1 x + tan -1 y + tan -1 z = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)
⇒ \(tan^{-1}\frac{x + y}{1 - xy} + tan^{-1}z = \frac{π}{2}\)
⇒ \(tan^{-1}\frac{x + y}{1 - xy} = \frac{π}{2} - tan^{-1}z\)
⇒ \(tan^{-1}\frac{x + y}{1 - xy} = cot^{-1}z\)
⇒ \(\frac{x + y}{1 - xy} = tan(cot^{-1}z)\)
⇒ \(\frac{x + y}{1 - xy} = tan(tan^{-1}\frac{1}{z})\)
⇒ \(\frac{x + y}{1 - xy} = \frac{1}{z}\)
⇒ xz + yz = 1 - xy
⇒ xz + yz + xy = 1
⇒ xz + yz + xy - 1 = 0
∴ The required solution is xz + yz + xy - 1 = 0
Question 17 5 / -1
The rate of change of a variable is proportional to that variable. How will the variation of that variable with respect to time?
Solution
Concept:
Let the variable is x which is varying with time t.
\(\frac{dx}{dt} \propto x\)
Calculation:
Given:
\(\frac{dx}{dt} \propto x\)
\(⇒ \frac{dx}{dt} =kx\)
\(⇒ \int\frac{dx}{x} =\int kdt\)
\(⇒ ln x =kt + p\)
Where p is a constant.
Now, take antilog,
⇒ x = e(kt +p)
⇒ x = e(kt) ep
Let c = e p
⇒ x = c e (kt)
So, the variation will be exponential.
Question 18 5 / -1
Let X be a random variable with probability density function,
\(f\left( x \right) = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {0.}6\\ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {0.2}\\ 0 \end{array}} \end{array}}&{\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {for\left| x \right| \le 1}\\ {for1 < \left| x\right| \le 4} \end{array}}\\ {otherwise} \end{array}} \end{array}} \right.\)
The probability P(0.5 < × < 5) is _________
Solution
Concept :
For a given probability density function f(x) to be valid, the integration of it over the complete range must equal 1.
Mathematically, it must satisfy:
\(\mathop \smallint \limits_{ - \infty }^\infty f\left( x \right) = 1\)
Calculation:
\(P\left( {0.5 < x<5} \right) = \mathop \smallint \limits_{0.5}^5 f\left( x \right)dx\)
\(= \mathop \smallint \limits_{0.5}^1 0.6dx + \mathop \smallint \limits_1^4 0.2dx + \mathop \smallint \limits_4^5 0dx\)
= 0.6 × 0.5 + 0.2 × 3 = 0.90
Question 19 5 / -1
In binomial probability distribution, the mean is 3 and the standard deviation is \( \frac{3}{{2}}.\) Then the probability distribution is
Solution
Concept:
Binomial Distribution: A Binomial Distribution is an experiment in which only ONE OUT OF TWO outcomes are possible. For example Head or Tail, Yes or No, 1 or 0, etc.
If ‘n’ and ‘p’ are the parameters, then ‘n’ denotes the total number of times the experiment is conducted and ‘p’ denotes the probability of the happening of the event.
The probability of getting exactly ‘k’ successes in ‘n’ independent trials for a Random Variable X is expressed as P(X = k) and is given by the formula:
P(X = k) = n Ck pk (1 - p)n - k
The mean and variance of Binomial distribute,
Mean (μ) = np, Variance (σ2 ) = npq, S. D.(σ) \( = \sqrt {npq}\)
Calculation:
Mean = np = 3, S. D. \( = \sqrt {npq} = \frac{3}{2}\)
\( \Rightarrow q = \frac{{npq}}{{np}} = \frac{9}{{4 \times 3}} = \frac{3}{4} \Rightarrow p = 1 - \frac{3}{4} = \frac{1}{4}\)
Hence binomial distribution is (q + p)n =\({\left( {\frac{3}{4} + \frac{1}{4}} \right)^{12}}.\)

Let E1 and E2 be two independent events. Let P(E) denotes the probability of the occurrence of the event E. Further, let \(\rm E_1^{'}\) and \(\rm E_2^{'}\) denote the complements of E1 and E2 respectively. If \(P(E_1'{\cap}E_2) = \frac{2}{15}\) and \(\rm P(E_1\cap E_2^{'})=\frac{1}{6}\) , then P(E1 ) is
Solution
Given:
Let E1 and E2 be two independent variables.
Further, E' 1 and E' 2 denote the complements of E1 and E2 respectively.
Concept:
Multiplication rule of probability for independent events -
If the outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of another, then those events are referred to as independent events. The multiplication rule of probability for dependent events can be extended to the independent events. We have P(A ∩ B) = P(A)P(B|A), so if the events A and B are independent then P(B|A) = P(B), and thus P(A ∩ B) = P(A).P(B). Calculation:
Let P(E1 ) = m
⇒ P(E1 ' ) = 1 - m
⇒ \(P(E'_1\ {\cap}\ E_2) = P(E'_1).P(E_2) = \frac{2}{15}\)
⇒ \(P(E'_1).P(E_2) = \frac{2}{15}\)
⇒ \((1 - m)P(E_2) = \frac{2}{15}\)
⇒ \(P(E_2) = \frac{2}{15(1 - m)}\)
⇒ \(\rm P(E_1\cap E_2^{'})=\frac{1}{6} \)
⇒ \(\rm P(E_1\cap E_2^{'}) = P(E_1).(E'_2)=\frac{1}{6}\)
⇒ \( P(E_1).(E'_2)=\frac{1}{6}\)
⇒ \(m[1 - \frac{2}{15(1 - m)}] = \frac{1}{6}\)
⇒ 6m[15(1 - m) - 2] = 15(1 - m)
⇒ 2m(13 - 15m) = 5 - 5m
⇒ 30m2 - 31m + 5 = 0
⇒ \(m = \frac{5}{6} \ or\ \frac{1}{5}\)
⇒ \(P(E_1) = \frac{1}{5}\ or \ \frac{5}{6}\)
∴ The value of P(E1 ) is 1/5

If * is a binary operation on Q where Q is set of rational numbers such that a * b = ab/2 ∀ a, b ∈ Q then find the identity element of Q with respect to operation * ?
Solution
Concept :
Let * be a binary operation on a non-empty set S. If there exists an element e in S such that a * e = e * a = a ∀ a ∈ S . Then the element e is said to be an identity element of S with respect to *.
Calculation :
Given: * is a binary operation on Q where Q is set of rational numbers such that a * b = ab/2 ∀ a, b ∈ Q.
Let e be the identity element of Q 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 ∈ Q and because e is the identity element of Q with respect to given operation *.
.e a * e = a = e * a ∀ a ∈ Q .
According to the definition of *, we have

Question 23 5 / -1
Direction Cosines of the line (6x - 8) = 3y + 2 = 2z + 4 are:
Solution
The given line is
6x - 8 = 3y + 2 = 2z + 4
\(6\left( {x - \frac{8}{6}} \right) = 3\left( {y + \frac{2}{3}} \right) = 2\left( {z + 2} \right) \Rightarrow 6\left( {x - \frac{4}{3}} \right) = 3\left( {y + \frac{2}{3}} \right) = 2\left( {z + 2} \right) \Rightarrow \frac{{x - \frac{4}{3}}}{{\frac{1}{6}}} = \frac{{y\; + \;\frac{2}{3}}}{{\frac{1}{3}}} = \frac{{z\; + \;2}}{{\frac{1}{2}}}\)
Direction Ratios of the line are 1/6, 1/3, 1/2
\(\sqrt {\frac{1}{{{6^2}}} + \frac{1}{{{3^2}}} + \frac{1}{{{2^2}}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{1 + 4 + 9}}{{36}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{14}}{{36}}}\)
Direction Cosines of the line are
\(\frac{{\frac{1}{6}}}{{\sqrt {\frac{{14}}{{36}}} }},\;\frac{{\frac{1}{3}}}{{\sqrt {\frac{{14}}{{36}}} }},\;\frac{{\frac{1}{2}}}{{\sqrt {\frac{{14}}{{36}}} }} = \frac{{\frac{1}{6}}}{{\frac{{\sqrt {14} }}{6}}},\;\frac{{\frac{1}{3}}}{{\frac{{\sqrt {14} }}{6}}},\;\frac{{\frac{1}{2}}}{{\frac{{\sqrt {14} }}{6}}} = \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{6}{{\sqrt {14} }},\;\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{6}{{\sqrt {14} }},\;\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{6}{{\sqrt {14} }} = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {14} }},\;\frac{2}{{\sqrt {14} }},\;\frac{3}{{\sqrt {14} }}\)
Question 24 5 / -1
If A = {0, 1, 2, 3}, B = {1, - 1} and R is a relation from A to B such that {(x, y) : x ∈ A, y ∈ B and y = ix where i is the imaginary number} then find the domain of R ?
Solution
Concept:
Domain of a Relation:
Let R be a relation from set A to set B. Then, the set of all first components of the ordered pair belonging to relation R forms the domain of the relation R
i.e Domain (R) = {a : (a, b) ∈ R}.
Calculation:
Given: A = {1, 2, 3}, B = {1, - 1} and R is a relation from A to B such that {(x, y) : x ∈ A, y ∈ B and y = ix where i is the imaginary number}
As we know that, i2 = - 1
When x = 0 ∈ A then y = i0 = 1 ϵ B ⇒ (0, 1) ϵ R
When x = 1 ∈ A then y = i1 = i ∉ B ⇒ (1, i) ∉ R
When x = 2 ∈ A then y = i2 = - 1 ∈ B ⇒ (2, - 1) ∈ R
When x = 3 then y = i3 = - i ∉ B ⇒ (1, - i) ∉ R
So, the given relation R can be re-written in roaster form as R = {(0, 1), (2, - 1)}
As we know that, Domain (R) = {a : (a, b) ∈ R}.
⇒ Domain (R) = {0, 2}
Hence, the correct option is 4.
Question 25 5 / -1
The shaded region in the graph is shown by the inequalities (Constraints):
Solution
Concept:
The general equation of a straight line is Y = m X + C , where m is the slope/gradient and ( 0 , C ) the coordinates of the Y-intercept and C is called the Y-intercept as show in the below image.
The thick continuous line represents that the line is included then we use ≤ or ≥ to write the inequalities
The dotted line represents that the line is excluded then we use < or > to write the inequalities.
Calculations:
The given image has three straight lines which together enclose the shaded region as shown in the image.
Let us consider one by one to find their inequalities
First, let us consider the green thick line
the y-intercept of this line is C = 3
and it has a negative slope m = \(\frac{-3}{1}\) = - 3
And since the shaded region from the line is towards the origin and the line is thick we can write the equation of straight line as y ≤ - 3x + 3, as shown in the below image
Next, let us consider the violet thick line
the y-intercept of this line is C = - 4
and it has a no i.e., slope m = 0
And since the shaded region from the line is towards the origin and the line is thick we can write the equation of straight line as y ≥ - 4, as shown in the below image.
Finally,
consider the pink dotted line
the y-intercept of this line is C = + 3
and it has a positive slope m = \(\frac{3}{3}\) = 1
And since the shaded region from the line is towards the origin and the line is dotted i.e it is excluded, so we can write the equation of straight line as y < x + 3 as shown in the below image.
∴ The shaded region in the graph is shown by the inequalities y ≤ -3x + 3; y ≥ - 4 ; y < x + 3.
Hence, the correct answer is option 1).

Solution
Concept:
Linear Programming Problem (LPP):
Identify the ‘n’ number of decision variables that govern the behavior of the objective function (which needs to be optimized). Identify the set of constraints on the decision variables and express them in the form of linear equations /inequations. This will set up our region in the n-dimensional space within which the objective function needs to be optimized. Don’t forget to impose the condition of non-negativity on the decision variables i.e. all of them must be positive since the problem might represent a physical scenario, and such variables can’t be negative. Express the objective function in the form of a linear equation in the decision variables. Optimize the objective function either graphically (corner method) or mathematically.
Calculation:
Objective function is profit Z = 3x + 4y.
Constraints:
2x + y ≤ 4 ...... (1)
x + 2y ≥ 12...... (2)
x, y ≥ 0... ... (3)
Graph:
Solving the lines in equation (1) and (2) simultaneously:
Multiplying equation (2) by 2 we get, 2x + 4y ≥ 24 ..... (4)
Subtracting equation 4 from equation 1
-3y = -20
⇒ y = \(\frac{20}{3}\)
Substituting this in equation (1), we get:
x = \(\frac{-4}{3}\)
∴ The lines intersect at x = \(\frac{-4}{3}\) , y = \(\frac{20}{3}\) .
All the points are shown in the graph below:
As you can see that there is no common feasible reason, so the given equation will have no feasible solution.

⇒ D = \(\begin{vmatrix} \rm \ln r& \rm \ln r& \rm \ln a_3 \\ \rm \ln r& \rm \ln r& \rm \ln a_6 \\ \rm \ln r & \rm \ln r & \rm \ln a_9 \end{vmatrix}\)
Using C1 → C1 - C2 , we get:
⇒ D = \(\begin{vmatrix} 0& \rm \ln r& \rm \ln a_3 \\0& \rm \ln r& \rm \ln a_6 \\ 0 & \rm \ln r & \rm \ln a_9 \end{vmatrix}\)
Expanding along C1 , we get:
⇒ D = 0 .

Let x2 + 1 = t ⇒ 2x dx = dt
I = \(\rm \int {dt\over2t}-\ln x+\int x^{-3}dx + C\)
I = \(\rm {1\over2}\ln t-\ln x+{x^{-2}\over-2} + C\)

⇒ Angle between \(\vec a\) and \(\vec c\)
⇒ \((\vec a . \vec c) = \frac{\sqrt3}{2} \)

So, the general form of the point lying on the given line is: (λ, 2λ + 1, 3λ + 2)
Let N be the foot of the perpendicular drawn from point P (1, 6, 3) to the given line.
∵ Point N lies on the given line so it is of the form: (λ, 2λ + 1, 3λ + 2)
The direction ratios of PN is : (λ - 1), (2λ - 5), (3λ - 1)
The direction ratios of the given line is: 1, 2, 3
∵ PN perpendicular to the given line

As we can see that, the given equation of lines are parallel.
So, by comparing the given equation of lines with \(\vec r = \;\overrightarrow {{a_1}} + \lambda \times \vec b\;and\;\vec r = \;\overrightarrow {{a_2}} + μ \times \;\vec b\)
Here, we have \(\vec b = \;2\hat i + 3\hat j + 6\hat k,\;\overrightarrow {{a_1}} = \;\hat i + 2\hat j\;and\;\overrightarrow {{a_2}} = \;3\hat i + 3\hat j - \;5\hat k\)
As we know that, distance between two parallel lines such as \(\vec r = \;\overrightarrow {{a_1}} + \lambda \times \vec b\;and\;\vec r = \;\overrightarrow {{a_2}} + μ \times \;\vec b\) is given by \(d = \left| {\frac{{\vec b \times \left( {\overrightarrow {{a_2}} - \;\overrightarrow {{a_1}} } \right)}}{{\left| {\vec b} \right|}}} \right|\)
⇒ \(\overrightarrow {{a_2}} - \overrightarrow {{a_1}} = 2\hat i + \hat j - 5\hat k\) and \(|\vec b| = 7\)
⇒ \(\vec b \times \left( {\overrightarrow {{a_2}} - \;\overrightarrow {{a_1}} } \right) = - 21\hat i + 22\hat j - 4\hat k\)
⇒ \(d = \frac{\sqrt {941}}{7} \ units \)
Hence, option B is the correct answer.
Question 42 5 / -1
If points (a, 0), (0, b) and (1, 1) are collinear, then \(\left( \frac{a + b}{ab} \right)\) =
Solution
Given:
(x1 , y1 ) = (a, 0)
(x2 , y2 ) = (0, b)
(x3 , y3 ) = (1, 1)
Formula Used:
Area of triangle = (1/2)[x1 (y2 - y3 ) + x2 (y3 - y1 ) + x3 (y1 - y2 )]
Concept:
If points are collinear, then the area of triangle is zero.
Calculation:
Area of triangle = (1/2)[x1 (y2 - y3 ) + x2 (y3 - y1 ) + x3 (y1 - y2 )] = 0
⇒ Area of triangle = (1/2)[a (b - 1) + 0 (1 - 0) + 1 (0 - b)] = 0
⇒ Area of triangle = (1/2)[ab - a - b] = 0
⇒ Area of triangle = ab - a - b = 0
⇒ ab = a + b
\(⇒ \frac{a + b}{ab}\) = 1
Hence, \( \frac{a + b}{ab}=1\)
Question 43 5 / -1
If A is a skew symmetric matrix and n is a positive integer, then An is
Solution
Concept:
Symmetric Matrix:
Square matrix A is said to be symmetric if the transpose of matrix A is equal to matrix A itself AT = A or A’ = A Where,
AT or A’ denotes the transpose of matrix
A square matrix A is said to be symmetric if aij = aji for all i and j Where aij and aji is an elements present in the matrix.
Skew-Symmetric Matrix or Anti-symmetric:
Square matrix A is said to be skew-symmetric if aij = −aji for all i and j. Square matrix A is said to be skew-symmetric if the transpose of matrix A is equal to the negative of matrix A ⇔ AT = −A Note that all the main diagonal elements in the skew-symmetric matrix are zero. Calculation:
Since A is a skew-symmetric matrix, therefore
\({A^T} = - A \)
\(\Rightarrow {({A^T})^n} = \,{(A)^n} = {({A^n})^T} = \left\{ {\frac{{{A^n},\,if\,n\,\,is\,even}}{{ - {A^n},\,if\,n\,is\,odd}}} \right..\)

Here, p(X = - 5) + p(X = - 4) + ... + p(X = 5) =1
i. e. P + 2p + 3p + ... +12p = 1
⇒ 72p = 1
⇒ P = 1 / 72
Question 45 5 / -1
Find x2 y2 + xy1 , if y = sin (log x) ?
Solution
CONCEPT :
\(\rm \frac{{d\left( {\sin x} \right)}}{{dx}} = \; \cos x\)
\(\rm \frac{{d\left( {\cos x} \right)}}{{dx}} = \; - \sin x\)
\(\rm \frac{{d\left( {\ln x} \right)}}{{dx}} = \frac{1}{x},\;for\;x > 0\)
CALCULATION :
Given: y = sin (log x)
First let's find out y1
As we know that, \(\rm \frac{{d\left( {\sin x} \right)}}{{dx}} = \; \cos x\) and \(\rm \frac{{d\left( {\ln x} \right)}}{{dx}} = \frac{1}{x},\;for\;x > 0\)
⇒ \(\rm y_1 = \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{cos\ (log x)}{x}\)
Now, again by differentiating the above equation with respect to x we get,
As we know that, \(\rm \frac{{d\left( {\cos x} \right)}}{{dx}} = \; - \sin x\)
⇒ \(\rm y_2 =\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = \frac{-sin \ (log \ x) \ - \ cos \ (log \ x)}{x^2}\)
Now, x2 y2 + xy1 = -y
Hence, correct option is 2.
Question 46 5 / -1
The plane x - 3y + 5z - 8 = 0 makes an angle sin-1 (∝) with Z -axis . the value of ∝ is equal to
Solution
Concept:
If the equation of the line is an \(\rm \vec r = \;\vec a + \lambda \;\vec b\) and equation of the plane is \(\rm \overrightarrow{r}. \overrightarrow{n}=d\) then the angle α between line and direction parallel to the plane is,
\(\rm \sin α = \left | \frac{\overrightarrow{b}.\overrightarrow{n}}{\left | \overrightarrow{b} \right |\left | \overrightarrow{n} \right |} \right |\)
Calculation:
Equation of line with Z -axis is,
\(\rm \overrightarrow{b}= \hat{k}\)
Equation of plane is x -3y + 5z -8 = 0
or in vector form , \(\rm \overrightarrow{n}= \hat{i}-3\hat{j}+5\hat{k}\)
∴ \(\rm \sin α = \left | \frac{\overrightarrow{b}.\overrightarrow{n}}{\left | \overrightarrow{b} \right |\left | \overrightarrow{n} \right |} \right |\)
⇒ \(\rm \sin α = \frac{\left ( \hat{i}-3\hat{j}+5\hat{k} \right ). \left ( 0\hat{i}+ 0\hat{j}+\hat{k} \right )}{\sqrt{1^{2}+(-3)^{2}+5^{2}}. \sqrt{1^{2}}}\) = \(\frac{5}{\sqrt{35}}\)
⇒ sin α = \(\frac{5}{\sqrt{35}}\)
⇒ α = sin-1 (\(\frac{5}{\sqrt{35}}\) )
⇒ α = \(\frac{5}{\sqrt{35}}\)
The correct option is 3.
Question 47 5 / -1
If P = {1, 2, 3, 4} and Q = {a1 , a2 }, then the number of onto functions from P to Q is?
Solution
Concept:
A function f : A → B is called an onto function if every element of B is an image of at least one element of A i.e.
Calculation:
⇒ If n(P) = m and n(Q) = 2, then
⇒ (2m - 2) onto functions are possible from P to Q, Hence m = 4
⇒ Thus 24 - 2 = 14
∴ The required result will be 14.
Question 48 5 / -1
Consider the function \(y = x^2 + \dfrac{250}{x}\) At x = 5, the function attains.
Solution
Concept:
A function attains a minimum value at a given point if the double derivative of that function at that point is positive .
A function attains a maximum value at a given point if the double derivative of that function at that point is negative.
Calculations:
Given function is \(y = x^2 + \dfrac{250}{x}\)
Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get,
\(dy \over dx \) = 2x - \(250 \over x^2\)
Putting \(dy \over dx \) = 0 , we get ,
2x - \(250 \over x^2\) = 0
Solving the above equation, we get,
x = 5
Now, \(d^2y \over d^2x\) = 2 + \(500 \over x^3\)
Putting x = 5 in the above equation, we ge ,
\(d^2y \over d^2x\) = 6, which is positive.
So, the function attains a minimum value at x = 5
Question 49 5 / -1
If \(A = \,\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {\log x}&{ - 1}\\ { - \log x}&2 \end{array}} \right]\,\) and if det (A) = 2, then the value of x is equal to
Solution
concept:
If \(A = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {{a_{11}}}&{{a_{12}}}\\ {{a_{21}}}&{{a_{22}}} \end{array}} \right]\) is a square matrix of order 2 , then the determinant of A is given by, |A| = (a11 × a22 ) – (a12 – a21 )
Calculation:
Given:
\( A = \,\left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {\log x}&{ - 1}\\ { - \log x}&2 \end{array}} \right | \)
⇒ det (A) = 2 log x - log x
⇒ 2 log x2 - log x
⇒ 2 log \(\left( {\frac{{{x^2}}}{x}} \right ) \) ⇒ 2 log x
⇒ log x2 = 2
⇒ x = e2
Question 50 5 / -1
In a Binomial Distribution (BD) the mean is 15 and variance is 10, then parameter n (number of trials) is
Solution
Concept:
Binomial distribution: If a random variable X has binomial distribution as B (n, p) with n and p as parameters, then the probability of random variable is given as:
P( X = k) = n Ck pk (1 - p)(n - k)
Where, n is number of observations, p is the probability of success & (1 - p) is probability of failure.
Properties:
Mean of the distribution (μX ) = n × p The variance (σ2 x ) = n × p × (1 - p) Standard deviation (σx ) = \(\sqrt{np(1-p)}\) Calculation :
Given:
mean of BD = np = 15
And variance of BD = npq = 10
⇒ np(1 – p) = 10 (∵ p + q = 1)
\(\Rightarrow 1 - {\rm{p}}\frac{{10}}{{15}} = \frac{2}{3} \Rightarrow {\rm{P}} = 1 - \frac{2}{3}\)
\(\Rightarrow {\rm{p}} = \frac{1}{3}\)
\(\therefore {\rm{n}} = \frac{{15}}{{1/3}} = 15 \times 3 = 45\)
