Question 1 5 / -1
What is the principal solutions of the equation \(\tan x=-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\) ?
Solution
Given:
\(\tan x=-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\)
Concept:
The principal solutions of a trigonometric equation are those solutions that lie between 0 and 2π.
Formula:
General solution of tan(x) = tan(α) is given as;
x = nπ + α where α ∈ (-π/2 , π/2) and n ∈ Z.
Calculation:
∵ \(\tan x=-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\)
⇒ tan(x) = tan(-π/6)
∴ α = -π/6
⇒ x = nπ + (-π/6) , n ∈ Z
Putting n = 1 and 2, we get -
x = 5π/6 and 11π/6

If \({\rm{f}}\left( {\rm{x}} \right) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {0,\ x = 0} \cr {x-3,\ x>0} \cr } } \right.\) The function f (x) is,
Solution
Calculation:
Given:
\({\rm{f}}\left( {\rm{x}} \right) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {0,\ x = 0} \cr {x-3,\ x>0} \cr } } \right.\)
Since for x > 0, the value of function f(x) will verry as a line (x -3) which is strictly increasing as the first derivative of (x -3) will be 1 which is positive for all the values of x > 0 ∴ It is strictly increasing when x > 0.
Question 3 5 / -1
If U = [2 -3 4], X = [0 2 3], V = \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 3\\ 2\\ 1 \end{array}} \right]\) and Y = \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 2\\ 2\\ 4 \end{array}} \right]\) , then UV + XY =
Solution
Concept:
Multiplication of matrices:
Let A be a matrix of m × n, B be a matrix of p × q then AB is a matrix of m × q, and for multiplication to exist n = p. Let A, B, and C be the matrices a, b, and c be scalars and the sizes of matrices are such that the operations can be performed then Calculation:
Given:
Here, the order of U → (1×3), X → (1×3), V → (3×1), and Y → (3×1 )
⇒ UV = [4] and XY = [16]; ∴ UV + XY = [20].
Question 4 5 / -1
What is the degree of the differential equation \(\rm \left(\frac {d^3y}{dx^3}\right)^{3/2} + \left(\frac {d^2y}{dx^2}\right)^{2} = 0\) ?
Solution
Concept:
Degree: The degree of a differential equation is the power of the highest derivative.
Calculation:
We have, \(\rm \left(\frac {d^3y}{dx^3}\right)^{3/2} + \left(\frac {d^2y}{dx^2}\right)^{2} = 0\)
⇒ \(\rm \left(\frac {d^3y}{dx^3}\right)^{3/2} = - \left(\frac {d^2y}{dx^2}\right)^{2}\)
Squaring both the sides, we get
\(\rm \left(\frac {d^3y}{dx^3}\right)^3 = \left(\frac {d^2y}{dx^2}\right)^{4}\)
Here highest derivative is \(\rm \left(\frac {d^3y}{dx^3}\right)^3\)
∴Degree = power of \(\rm \left(\frac {d^3y}{dx^3}\right)^3\) = 3
Hence, option (1) is correct.
Question 5 5 / -1
If x takes a non-positive permissible value, then sin-1 x will be-
Solution
Calculation:
Let sin-1 x = y. Then x = sin y
Since, \(- 1 \le x \le 0,\)
therefore \(\frac{{ - \pi }}{2} \le {\sin ^{ - 1}}x \le 0\) and so \(\frac{{ - \pi }}{2}\) \(\le y \le 0\)
We have,
cos y = \(\sqrt {1 - {{\sin }^2}y}\)
\(\Rightarrow \cos y = \sqrt {1 - {x^2}} ,\) for \(0 \le y \le \pi\) ....(i)
Now, \(- \frac{\pi }{2} \le y \le 0 \Rightarrow \frac{\pi }{2} \ge - y \ge 0\) [From (i)]
\(\Rightarrow \cos ( - y) = \sqrt {1 - {x^2}}\)
\(\Rightarrow - y = {\cos ^{ - 1}}\sqrt {1 - {x^2}}\)
\( \Rightarrow y = - {\cos ^{ - 1}}\sqrt {1 - {x^2}} \)
Question 6 5 / -1
Let f(x) = ex , g(x) = sin-1 x and h(x) = f(g(x)), then h'(x) / h(x) -
Solution
Calculation:
Given:
f(x) = ex and g(x) sin-1 x and h(x) = f(g(x))
⇒ h(x) = f(sin-1 x) = \( e^{sin^{-1}x}\)
∴ h(x) = \( e^{sin^{-1}x}\)
⇒ h'(x) = \( e^{sin^{-1}x}\frac{1}{{\sqrt {1 - {x^2}} }} \)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{{h'(x)}}{{h(x)}} = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {1 - {x^2}} }}.\)
Question 7 5 / -1
Solve:
\(\int_{\rm{0}}^{\frac{{\rm{\pi }}}{{\rm{2}}}} {\frac{{{\rm{f(x)}}}}{{{\rm{f(x) \,+\, f}}\left( {\frac{{\rm{\pi }}}{{\rm{2}}}\,{\rm{ - }}\,{\rm{x}}} \right)}}{\rm{dx}}} \) = ?
Solution
Concept:
\(\int_a^b f(x)dx = f(a + b - x)dx\)
Calculation:
⇒ Let, I = \(\int \limits_0^\frac{π}{2} \frac{f(x)}{f(x) + f{(\frac{π}{2} - x)}}dx\) ----- equation(1)
⇒ I = \(\int \limits_0^\frac{π}{2} \frac{f(\frac{π}{2}- x )}{f(\frac{π}{2} - x) + f{(\frac{π}{2} -(\frac{π}{2} - x))}}dx\)
⇒ I = \(\int \limits_0^\frac{π}{2} \frac{f(\frac{π}{2}- x )}{f(x) + f{(\frac{π}{2} - x)}}dx\) ---- equation(2)
On adding equation (1) and (2)
⇒ 2I = \(\int \limits_0^\frac{π}{2} \frac{ f(x) + f(\frac{π}{2}- x )}{f(x) + f{(\frac{π}{2} - x)}}dx\)
⇒ 2I = \(\int \limits_0^\frac{π}{2} dx\)
⇒ 2I = \(\frac{π}{2}\)
⇒ I = \(\frac{π}{4}\)
∴ The value of \(\int_{\rm{0}}^{\frac{{\rm{\pi }}}{{\rm{2}}}} {\frac{{{\rm{f(x)}}}}{{{\rm{f(x) \,+\, f}}\left( {\frac{{\rm{\pi }}}{{\rm{2}}}\,{\rm{ - }}\,{\rm{x}}} \right)}}{\rm{dx}}} \) is \(\frac{π}{4}\)
Question 8 5 / -1
If \(A\, = \,\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 2&0&0\\ 0&2&0\\ 0&0&2 \end{array}} \right]\,and\,B\, = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 1&2&3\\ 0&1&3\\ 0&0&2 \end{array}} \right]\,,then\,\left| {AB} \right|\,\) is equal to
Solution
Calculation:
\(A\, = \,\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 2&4&6\\ 0&2&6\\ 0&0&4 \end{array}} \right]\,\, = 2I\)
\(\therefore AB = 2IB = 2B = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 2&4&6\\ 0&2&6\\ 0&0&4 \end{array}} \right]\)
\(\Rightarrow \left| {AB} \right|\, = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 2&4&6\\ 0&2&6\\ 0&0&4 \end{array}} \right]\, = 2\,(8)\, = \,16\)
Alternate Method
\(\begin{array}{l} \,\left| A \right|\, = \,2\, \times \,2\, \times 2\, = 8,\,\left| B \right|\, = \,1\, \times \,1\, \times 2\, = 2.\, \end{array}\)
\(\\ \therefore \left| {AB} \right| = \,\left| A \right|\left| B \right|\, = \,2\, \times \,8\, = \,16\)
Question 9 5 / -1
The value of c in Lagrange's theorem for the function |x| in the interval [-1, 1] is -
Solution
Concept:
The statement of Lagrange's Mean Value Theorem is that -
If a function is continuous in the closed interval [a , b],
If a function is differentiable in the open interval (a , b)
Then there exists some 'x = c' ϵ (a , b) such that
\( f'(c) =\frac{ [f(b) - f(a)]}{(b -a)}\)
A function is non-differentiable at sharp turns.
Calculation:
Given: f(x) = |x| and Interval = [-1 , 1]
∘ f(x) = |x| is continuous in the closed interval [-1 , 1]
From graph, we can see that f(x) = |x| is not differentiable at x = 0 due to sharp turn,
So, f(x) = |x| is not differentiable in the open interval (-1 , 1)
Hence, condition for Lagrange's theorem fails.
The value of c is non-existent.
Question 10 5 / -1
For a certain curve y = f(x) satisfying \(\frac{{{d^2}y}}{{d{x^2}}}\) = 6x – 4, f(x) has a local minimum value 5 when x = 1. The global maximum value of f(x) if 0 ≤ x ≤ 2, is
Solution
CONCEPT:
For global maxima and minima, we have to find the value of the function for the stationary points and endpoints. CALCULATION:
Given: \(\frac{{{d^2}y}}{{d{x^2}}}\) = 6x – 4
Integrating both sides w.r.t. x \(\Rightarrow \frac{{dy}}{{dx}}\) = 3x2 – 4x + c
At x = 1, \(\frac{{dy}}{{dx}}\) = 0
⇒ c = 1
⇒ \(\frac{{dy}}{{dx}}\) = 3x2 – 4x + 1 ......(1)
Integrating both sides w.r.t. x, ⇒ y = x3 – 2x2 + x + c1
⇒ c1 = 5
⇒ y = x3 – 2x2 + x + 5
From equation (1) we get the critical points x = \(\frac{1}{3}\) , 1 f(1) = 5
At the end points and the stationary points, f(0) = 5, f(2) = 7, \(f\left( {\frac{1}{3}} \right) = \frac{{112}}{{27}}\)
Hence the global maximum value = 7

Solution
Concept:
If, we are given a square matrix A then how to prove that
⇒ adj(kA) = k(n-1) adj(A)
Calculation:
Also, by multiplication,
\(Let\,I = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 1&0&0\\ 0&1&0\\ 0&0&1 \end{array}} \right]\ then,\ \,kI = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} k&0&0\\ 0&k&0\\ 0&0&k \end{array}} \right]\)
\( ⇒ adj\,(kI) = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {{k^2}}&0&0\\ 0&{{k^2}}&0\\ 0&0&{{k^2}} \end{array}} \right] \)
\(⇒ adj(kI)= {k^2}I\)
Question 12 5 / -1
Find the angle between the pair of lines
\(\frac{{x - 5}}{3} = \frac{{y + 2}}{5} = \frac{{z + 2}}{4}\)
And \(\frac{{x - 1}}{1} = \frac{{y - 3}}{1} = \frac{{z - 3}}{2}\)
Solution
CONCEPT :
The angle between the lines with direction ratios \(\left\langle {{a_1},\;{b_1},\;{c_1}} \right\rangle \) and \(\left\langle {{a_2},\;{b_2},\;{c_2}} \right\rangle \) is given by: \(\cos {\bf{\theta }} = \;\frac{{{{\bf{a}}_1}{{\bf{a}}_2} + \;{{\bf{b}}_1}{{\bf{b}}_2} + {{\bf{c}}_1}{{\bf{c}}_2}\;}}{{\sqrt {{\bf{a}}_{1\;}^2 + \;{\bf{b}}_1^2 + \;{\bf{c}}_1^2} \sqrt {{\bf{a}}_{2\;}^2 + \;{\bf{b}}_2^2 + \;{\bf{c}}_2^2} }}\)
CALCULATION :
Given: The direction ratios of two lines are (3,5, 4) and (1, 1, 2)
Here, a1 = 3, b1 = 5, c1 = 4, a2 = 1, b2 = 1 and c2 = 2
⇒ \(\cos \theta = \frac{{3 \times 1 +5 \times 1 + 4 \times 2}}{{\sqrt {{3^2} + {5^2} + {{\left( { 4} \right)}^2}} \times \sqrt {{1^2} + {{\left( { 1} \right)}^2} + {2^2}} }} = \frac{{8 }}{{5\sqrt 3}}\)
⇒ \(\theta = {\cos ^{ - 1}}\left( { \frac{{8 }}{{5\sqrt 3}}} \right) \)
\(⇒\theta = {\cos ^{ - 1}}\frac{{8\sqrt 3 }}{{15}}\)
Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
Question 13 5 / -1
Find the quantity of methods of picking 4 cards from a set of 52 playing cards if four cards are of the same unit?
Solution
Calculation:
Given:
There are four cards from a set of 52 playing cards.
There are four units:- Diamond, Spade, Heart, Club
13 cards of each unit.
Total Number of card to be chosen Number of ways Diamond 13 4 13 C4 Spade 13 4 13 C4 Heart 13 4 13 C4 Club 13 4 13 C4
Since they are different cases.
So, we add a number of ways.
Required number of ways = 13 C4 + 13 C 4 + 13 C 4 + 13 C 4
⇒ 4 × 13 C 4
⇒ \(4 \times \frac{13!}{4!(13 - 4)}\)
⇒ \(4 \times \frac{13!}{4! \times 9!}\)
⇒ \(4 \times \frac{13 \times 12 \times 11 \times 10 \times 9!}{ 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1 \times 9!}\)
⇒ \(4 \times \frac{13 \times 12 \times 11 \times 10}{4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}\)
= 2860
∴ There are 2860 ways.

Solution
Given:
\(\overrightarrow a = 2\widehat i + 2\widehat j + 3\widehat k,\overrightarrow b = - \widehat i + 2\widehat j + ̂ k \rm \ and\overrightarrow c = 3\widehat i + \widehat j\)
\(\overrightarrow a + γ \overrightarrow b \) is perpendicular to \(\vec{c}\)
Concept:
If two vectors are perpendicular then their dot product is zero.
Formula:
\(\vec{A}.\vec{B}\) = Ax Bx + Ay By + Az Bz
Solution:
\(\overrightarrow a + γ \overrightarrow b \) = (2 - γ)î + (2 + 2γ)ĵ + (3 + γ)k̂
Now, (\(\overrightarrow a + γ \overrightarrow b \) ). (\(\vec{c}\) ) = 3(2 - γ) + (2 + 2γ)
∵ vectors are perpendicular
⇒ ( \(\overrightarrow a + γ \overrightarrow b \) ) . ( \(\vec{c}\) ) = 0
⇒ 3(2 - γ) + (2 + 2γ) = 0
or γ = 8

Equation of a line passing through the origin (0, 0, 0) and having direction ratios 4, -2, 3 is:
\(\frac{x-0}{4}=\frac{y-0}{-2}= \frac{z-0}{3} = λ\)
⇒ x = 4λ , y = -2λ and z = 3λ
Satisfying equation of the plane with above coordinates :
⇒ 4(4λ) - 2(-2λ) + 3(3λ) - 6 = 0
⇒ λ = 6/29
∴ Foot of the perpendicular,

⇒ a(-b) + c(c) = 0
⇒ c2 = ab.
Hence c is the geometric mean of a and b.
Question 18 5 / -1
f(x) = x + √x 2 is a function from R → R. Then f(x) is
Solution
Concept:
One-One Function / Injective Function:
A function f: A → B is said to be a one-one function if different elements in A have different images or are associated with different elements in B.
i.e., if f(x1 ) = f(x2 ) then x1 = x2 , ∀ x1 , x2 ∈ R
Onto Function / Surjective Function:
A function f: A → B is said to be an onto function if each element in B has at least one pre-image in A.
i.e., If-Range of function f = Codomain of function f , then f is onto .
Bijective Function:
A function f: A → B is said to be a B a bijective function if it is both one-one and onto function.
Calculation:
Given: f(x) = x + √x 2
The given function can also be written as,
f(x) = x + |x|
This function can be converted into a piecewise defined function.
For, x > 0
⇒ f(x) = x + (+ x) = 2x
For, x < 0
⇒ f(x) = x + (- x) = 0
Clearly, f(x) ≥ 0 for all x. So, it is not surjective or onto as,
Range of function f ≠ Codomain of function f.
Also, f(x) = x + |x|. Clearly, f(-1) = f(-2) = 0
This means for one tow values of x, we get the same value of y as 0 so, f is not one or we can say that it is many -one
Question 19 5 / -1
In a job placement event, there are 1000 aspirants attending a company interview, out of which 430 are females. It is familiar that out of 430, 10 % of the females are graduate. Determine the probability that an aspirant selected randomly is graduate given that the selected aspirant is a female?
Solution
Given:
Total number of aspirants = 1000
Total number of females = 430
Females are graduate = 10% of 430
Formula Used:
P(A|B) = P(A ∩ B)/P(B)
Calculation:
We have,
A : Aspirant is graduate
B : Aspirant is female
⇒ Females are graduate = 10% 0f 430
⇒ Females are graduate = \(\frac{10}{100} \times 430\)
⇒ Females are graduate = 43
⇒ P(E|F) = \(\frac{43}{430}\)
⇒ P(E|F) = 0.1
∴ The probability that an aspirant selected randomly is graduate given that the selected aspirant is a female is 0.1

∴ \(\vec c = \vec b × \vec a \)
Calculation:
Given:
The vectors \(\vec a, \vec c, \ and \ \vec b\) from a right-handed system.
\(\vec c= \hat j × (x\hat i + y\hat j + z\hat k)\)
\(\Rightarrow \vec c= x (\hat j × \hat i) + z (\hat j × \hat k) \)
\(\Rightarrow \vec c= - x\hat k + z\hat i - x\hat k\)
Question 21 5 / -1
If \(\mathop \smallint \nolimits_0^{2\pi } \left| {x\;sin\;x} \right|dx = k\pi ,\) then the value of k is equal to ______.
Solution
Concept:
Following steps to solve the equation \(\mathop \smallint \nolimits_0^{2\pi } \left| {x\;sin\;x} \right|dx = k\pi ,\)
To remove the modulus To keep sin x positive in the interval 0 to π to 2π and to keep the sin x negative in the interval. This is because x in the above equation is always positive but the value sin x changes in the two mentioned intervals. Explanation:
Solving the equation as per the steps,
\(\mathop \smallint \nolimits_0^{2\pi } \left| {x\;sin\;x} \right|dx = \mathop \smallint \nolimits_0^\pi xsinxdx + \left( { - \mathop \smallint \nolimits_\pi ^{2\pi } xsinxdx} \right)\)
\(= \mathop \smallint \nolimits_0^\pi xsinxdx - \mathop \smallint \nolimits_\pi ^{2\pi } xsinxdx\)
Keeping u = x, du = dx, dv = sin x dx, so v = - cos x,
\(= \mathop \smallint \nolimits_0^\pi udv = uv - \mathop \smallint \nolimits_0^\pi vdu\)
\( = \mathop \smallint \nolimits_0^\pi xsinxdx = \left[ { - xcosx} \right]_0^\pi + \mathop \smallint \nolimits_0^\pi cosxdx\;\)
\( = \pi + \left[ {sinx} \right]_0^\pi \)
Now, repeating the same with \(- \mathop \smallint \nolimits_\pi ^{2\pi } xsinxdx\) , we get -3
Hence, π - (-3π) = 4π
Therefore, k = 4

If \(\frac{{x - 1}}{l} = \frac{{y - 2}}{m} = \frac{{z + 1}}{n}\) is the equation of the line passing through (1, 2, -1) and (-1, 0, 1), then (l, m, n) is:
Solution
Concept:
If the equation of the line through (1, 2, -1) and (-1, 0, 1) then these points will satisfy the given line,
Calculation:
The general equation of the line,
x = lt+1, y = mt+2, z = nt -1
It is obvious that points (1, 2, -1) is satisfying the line,
For point (-1, 0, 1),
-1 = lt+1, 0 = mt+2, 1 = nt -1
Equating the values of t,
\(\Rightarrow \frac{{ - 2}}{l} = \frac{{ - 2}}{m} = \frac{2}{n}\) ;
∴ (l, m, n) are (1, 1, -1)
Question 23 5 / -1
Let g (x) be the inverse of an invertible function f(x) which is differentiable at x = c, then g'(f(c)) equals
Solution
Concept
Since g(x) is the inverse of function f(x), therefore
gof(x) = I(x) for all x.
Where I(x) is the identity function.
Calculation:
Given:
Now gof(x) = I(x), ∀ x
⇒ gof(x) = x, ∀ x
⇒(gof)' (x) = 1, ∀ x
⇒ g'(f(x))f'(x) = 1, ∀ x
⇒ g'(f(x)) = \(\frac{1}{{f'(x)}}\) ∀ x
⇒ g'(f(x))= \(\frac{1}{{f'(x)}}\) .
⇒ g'(f(c))= \(\frac{1}{{f'(c)}}\) .
Question 24 5 / -1
If the line ax + by + c = 0 is a tangent to the curve xy = 4, then
Solution
CONCEPT:
if the tangent to a given curve y at a point is perpendicular to the given line then the multiplication of slopes of that tangent and the given line will be equal to -1 as both are perpendicular to each other. The slope of tangent on a given curve y can be calculated as, ⇒ y' at given point = dy/dx at a given point
CALCULATION:
Given:
Slop of line \( = - \frac{a}{b}\)
\(y = \frac{4}{x} \)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = - \frac{4}{{{x^2}}} \)
\(\Rightarrow - \frac{a}{b} = - \frac{4}{{{x^2}}} \)
So, the ratio a/b is positive for all the values of x which is only possible if the a and b both are positive or both are negative.
\( \Rightarrow a < 0,b < 0.\)
Question 25 5 / -1
Urn A consists 3 blue and 4 green balls while another urn B consists 5 blue and 6 green balls. One ball is drawn at random from one of the urns and it is found to be blue. Determine the probability that it was drawn from urn B?
Solution
Given:
Urn A consists 3 blue and 4 green balls
Urn B consists 5 blue and 6 green balls
One ball drawn at random from one of the urns was blue
Concept:
Baye's Theorem :
Solution:
Let B be the event that the ball drawn is blue and E1 be the event that the ball is drawn from urn 1 and E2 be the event that the ball is drawn from urn 2.
∴ P(B) = P(B ∩ E 1 ) + P(B ∩ E2 )
⇒ P(B) = \(\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{3}{7} + \frac{1}{2}\times\frac{5}{11} \)
= 34/77
∴ P(E2 /B) = \(\frac{P(E_1 \cap B)}{P(B)} = \frac{P(E_2) P(B/E_2))}{P(B)}\)
= \(\frac{\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{5}{11}}{\frac{34}{77}}\)
= 35/68
Question 26 5 / -1
For what value of λ, the equations 7x - 5y + 3 = 0, 2x + 3y = 8 and 4x - 6y + λ = 0 are consistent?
Solution
Concept:
In linear equations in two variables:- a1 x + b1 y + c1 = 0 and a2 x + b2 y + c2 = 0
Here, a1 , a2 , b1 , b2 , c1 , c2 are real numbers.
1. If \(\frac{a_1}{a_2} ≠ \frac{b_1}{b_2}\) then the system of equations has a unique solution. Hence, the given system of equations is consistent.
In graphical representation, if the equations are consistent, then the lines intersect at only one point.
2. If \(\frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{b_1}{b_2} = \frac{c_1}{c_2}\) , then the system of equations has infinitely many number of solutions. Hence, the given system of equations is consistent.
In graphical representation, if the equations are consistent, then the lines coincide with each other.
Calculation:
We have,
⇒ 7x - 5y = - 3 ----- equation (1)
⇒ 2x + 3y = 8 ----- equation (2)
On multiplying equation (1) by 3 and equation (2) by 5, we get
⇒ 21x - 15y = -9 ----- equation (3)
⇒ 10x + 15y = 40 ----- equation (4)
On adding equation (3) and (4), we get
⇒ 31x = 31
⇒ x = 1
Putting the value of x in equation (2)
⇒ 2 × 1 + 3y = 8
⇒ 2 + 3y = 8
⇒ 3y = 6
⇒ y = 2
Putting the value of x and y in equation,
⇒ 4x - 6y + λ = 0
⇒ 4×1 - 6×2 + λ = 0
⇒ 4 - 12 + λ = 0
⇒ λ = 8
∴ The value of λ is 8
Question 27 5 / -1
If the vertices A,B,C of a triangle ABC are (1, 1, 3), (-1, 0, 0),(0, 1, 2) respectively, then determine ∠ABC. (∠ABC is the angle between the vectors \(\overrightarrow {BA} \) and \(\overrightarrow {BC} \) )
Solution
Given:
The vertices A,B,C of a triangle ABC are (1, 1, 3), (-1, 0, 0), (0, 1, 2) respectively.
Concept:
\(\vec{PQ}\) = p.v.(\(\vec{Q}\) ) - p.v.(\(\vec{P}\) )
Formula:
The angle between two vectors \(\vec{P}\) and \(\vec{Q}\) is given by :
\(\theta = cos^{-1}(\frac{\vec{P}.\vec{Q}}{|\vec{P}||\vec{Q}|})\)
Solution:
\(\overrightarrow {BA} \) = (1, 1, 3) - (-1, 0, 0)
= 2î + ĵ + 3k̂
\(\overrightarrow {BC} \) = (0, 1, 2) - (-1, 0, 0) = î + ĵ + 2k̂
∴ \(\theta = cos^{-1}(\frac{\vec{BA}.\vec{BC}}{BA.BC})\)
\(\Rightarrow \theta = cos^{-1}(\frac{9}{\sqrt 14 \sqrt 6})\) )
\(\Rightarrow \theta ={{\mathop{\rm cos}\nolimits} ^{ - 1}}(\frac{9}{{\sqrt 84}})\)

Solution
Concept :
A discontinuous function f has a local maximum if \(f(a)\geq f (a+h),f(a)\geq f(a-h)\) .
Calculation :
Given:
\(f(x)=\left\{\begin{matrix} 7x-x^3+\log(b^2-4b+4) &0\leq x<3 \\ x-9&x\geq3 \end{matrix}\right.\)
Since f attains maxima at x = 3.
⇒ \(f(3)\geq f(3-0) \ or\ f(3^-) \)
⇒ \(3-9\geq 21-27+\log(b^2-4b+4)\)
⇒\(-6\geq -6+\log(b^2-4b+4)\)
⇒ \(\log(b^2-4b+4)\leq 0\)
Therefore option 1 is correct.
Question 29 5 / -1

3x + 5y + z = αz
has infinite number of solution is
Solution
Concept
Let the system of equations be,
a1 x + b1 y + c1 z = d1
a2 x + b2 y + c2 z = d2
a3 x + b3 y + c3 z = d3
\({\rm{\;}} ⇒ \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {{{\rm{a}}_1}}&{{{\rm{b}}_1}}&{{{\rm{c}}_1}}\\ {{{\rm{a}}_2}}&{{{\rm{b}}_2}}&{{{\rm{c}}_2}}\\ {{{\rm{a}}_3}}&{{{\rm{b}}_3}}&{{{\rm{c}}_3}} \end{array}} \right]{\rm{\;}}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {\rm{x}}\\ {\rm{y}}\\ {\rm{z}} \end{array}} \right] = {\rm{\;}}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {{{\rm{d}}_1}}\\ {{{\rm{d}}_2}}\\ {{{\rm{d}}_3}} \end{array}} \right]\)
⇒ 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:
(1 - α)x + 3y + 5z = 0 ...(i)
5x + (1 - α)y + 3z = 0 ...(ii)
3x + 5y + (1 - α)z = 0 ...(iii)
Here, B = O
⇒ X = A-1 B = \(\frac{{{\rm{adj\;}}\left( {\rm{A}} \right)}}{{\det {\rm{\;}}({\rm{A}})}}{\rm{\;B}}\) = O
For any value of α.
For an infinite no. of solutions,
|A| = 0
\(\left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 1-α &3&5\\ 5&1-α &3\\ 3&5&1-α \end{array}} \right| = 0\)
After solving this,
(9-α)(α2 + 6α) + 12) = 0
That means only one real value of α as the other factor is having imaginary roots because the discriminant of α 2 + 6 α ) + 12 will be negative.
Question 30 5 / -1
Let \(A = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 2&b&1\\ b&{{b^2} + 1}&b\\ 1&b&2 \end{array}} \right]\) where b > 0. Then the minimum value of \(\frac{{det\left( {\rm{A}} \right)}}{{\rm{b}}}\) is:
Solution
From question, the matrix given is:
\(A = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 2&b&1\\ b&{{b^2} + 1}&b\\ 1&b&2 \end{array}} \right]\) , b > 0
Now,
\(\Rightarrow det\left( A \right) = \left| A \right| = \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 2&b&1\\ b&{{b^2} + 1}&b\\ 1&b&2 \end{array}} \right|\)
⇒ det (A) = 2[2(b2 + 1) - b2 ] - b(2b - b) + 1(b2 - b2 - 1)
⇒ det (A) = 2[2b2 + 2 - b2 ] - b2 - 1
⇒ det (A) = 2b2 + 4 - b2 - 1
∴ det (A) = b2 + 3
From question,
\(\Rightarrow \frac{{\det \left( A \right)}}{b} = \frac{{{b^2} + 3}}{b}\)
\(\therefore \frac{{det\left( A \right)}}{b} = b + \frac{3}{b}\)
From question, b > 0,
∴ Arithmetic Mean ≥ Geometric Mean
Now,
\(\Rightarrow \frac{{b + \frac{3}{b}}}{2} \ge {\left( {b \times \frac{3}{b}} \right)^{1/2}}\)
\(\Rightarrow b + \frac{3}{b} \ge 2\sqrt 3 \)
So, the minimum value of
\(\Rightarrow b + \frac{3}{b} \ge 2\sqrt 3 \) .

\({D_1}\, = \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 0&1&{ - 1}\\ { - 2}&0&2\\ 3&{ - 2}&0 \end{array}} \right| = 14 \Rightarrow {D_1} \ne 0\)
\(D = 0\,and\,{D^1} \ne 0,\)
hence the system is inconsistent, so it has no solution.

\(\\ ⇒ Δ = x!(x + 1)!(x + 2)!\left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 1&1&1\\ {x + 1}&{x + 2}&{x + 3}\\ {(x + 1)(x + 2)}&{(x + 2)(x + 3)}&{(x + 3)(x + 4)!} \end{array}} \right|\)
\(\\ ⇒ Δ = x!(x + 1)!(x + 2)!\left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 1&0&0\\ {x + 1}&1&2\\ {(x + 1)(x + 2)}&{2(x + 2)}&{4x + 10} \end{array}} \right|\\\)
⇒ Δ = 2x!(x + 1)!(x + 2)!.

⇒ \(\frac{(1 + sinθ)(1 + sinθ) - cos^2θ}{(1 + sinθ)(1 + cosθ + sinθ)}\) [cos2 θ = 1 - sin2 θ]
⇒ \(\frac{(1 + sinθ)(1 + sinθ) - (1^2 - sin^2θ)}{(1 + sinθ)(1 + cosθ + sinθ)}\) [(a2 - b2) = (a - b)(a + b)]
⇒ \(\frac{(1 + sinθ)(1 + sinθ) - [(1+ sinθ)(1 - sinθ)]}{(1 + sinθ)(1 + cosθ + sinθ)}\)
⇒ \(\frac{(1 + sinθ)[1 + sinθ - (1 - sinθ)]}{(1 + sinθ)(1 + cosθ + sinθ)}\)
⇒ \(\frac{1 + sinθ - 1 + sinθ}{1 + cosθ + sinθ}\)
⇒ \(\frac{2sinθ}{1 + cosθ + sinθ}\)

Solution
Concept:
If \(P(X=x)=f(x)\) is a probability mass function, then
\(\sum_{x\in Range(X)}f(x)=1\)
and the Expected value of X is given by \(E(X)=\sum_{x_{i}}x_{i}f(x_{i})\)
Calculations:
Given:
Therefore the expected value of X is given by,
\(E(X)=\sum_{x_{i}}x_{i}f(x_{i})\)
\(\Rightarrow E(X)=\sum_{x=1}^{\infty}x\frac{1}{2^x}\)
\(\Rightarrow E(X)=(1.\frac{1}{2})+(2.\frac{1}{2^2})+(3.\frac{1}{2^3})+...\) ----(1)
It is arithmetic geometric series. Let us multiply it by the common ratio \(\frac{1}{2}\) of geometric series. We get,
\(\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}E(X)=(\frac{1}{2}.\frac{1}{2})+(\frac{2}{2}.\frac{1}{2^2})+(\frac{3}{2}.\frac{1}{2^3})+...\) ---(2)
Subtracting (2) from (1), We get
\(\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}E(X)=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2^2}+\frac{1}{2^3}+...\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}E(X)=\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{1-\frac{1}{2}}\) sum of infinite of G.P. with first term a and common ratio r is given by \(S_{\infty}=\frac{a}{1-r}\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}E(X)=\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{1}{2}}\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}E(X)=1\)
\(\therefore E(X)=2\)
Therefore option 1 is correct.

m = tan θ = \(\rm \left[\frac{dy}{dx}\right]_{(a, b)}\) .
Calculation:
Given:
\(\rm \left[\frac{dy}{dx}\right]_{(a, b)} = y \ (ordinate)\)
\(y = {x^3}\)
\( ⇒ \frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = 3{x^2}\)
Now, 3x2 = y (Ordinate)

Question 43 5 / -1
Which of the following is NOT a known factor to uniquely determine a plane?
Solution
Explanation:
Factors to determine a plane:-
Three non-collinear points determine a plane. A-line and a point not on the line determine a plane. Two intersecting lines determine a plane. Two parallel lines determine a plane. ∴ The equation of a plane lying in extraordinary form does not determine the plane.
Question 44 5 / -1
Determine the co-ordinates of the point where the line through the points A (2, 3, 2) and B (5, 1, 6) crosses the XY- plane?
Solution
Given:
A(2, 3, 2) and B(5, 1, 6) are two points.
Concept:
The cartesian equation of a line passing through A(x1 , y1 , z1 ) and B(x2 , y2 , z2 ) is given by,
\(\frac{x - x_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{y - y_1}{y_2 - y_1} = \frac{z - z_1}{z_2- z_1}\)
Calculation:
Here, x1 = 2, y1 = 3, z1 = 2, x2 = 5, y2 = 1 and z2 = 6
The cartesian equation of a required line is:
⇒ \(\frac{x - 2}{5 - 2} = \frac{ y - 3}{1 -3} = \frac{z - 2}{6 - 2}\)
⇒ \(\frac{ x - 2}{3} = \frac{ y - 3}{-2} = \frac{ z - 2}{4}\) ---- equation (1)
The line crosses xy - plane , i.e., z = 0
So, by substituting z = 0 in equation (1), we get
⇒ \(\frac{ x - 2}{3} = \frac{ y - 3}{-2} = \frac{ 0 - 2}{4}\)
⇒ \(\frac{ x - 2}{3} = \frac{ y - 3}{-2} = \frac{-1}{2}\)
⇒ \(\frac{ x - 2}{3} = \frac{-1}{2}\) and \( \frac{ y - 3}{-2} = \frac{-1}{2} \)
⇒ 2x - 4 = - 3 and 2y - 6 = 2
⇒ 2x = 1 and 2y = 8
⇒ x = \(\frac{1}{2}\) and y = 4
∴ The line AB crosses the XY-plane at (1/2, 4. 0)

Point of intersection are (0, 3) and (3, 0).
If x varies from 0 to 3 while y varies from 3 – x to \(\sqrt {9 - {x^2}} \)
\(\begin{array}{l} \smallint dA = \mathop \smallint \limits_0^3 \mathop \smallint \limits_{3 - x}^{\sqrt {9 - {x^2}} } dxdy = \mathop \smallint \limits_0^3 \left[ y \right]_{3 - x}^{\sqrt {9 - {x^2}} }dx\\ = \mathop \smallint \limits_0^3 \left\{ {\sqrt {9 - {x^2}} - \left( {3 - x} \right)} \right\}dx\\ = \left[ {\frac{{x\sqrt {9 - {x^2}} }}{2} + \frac{9}{2}{{\sin }^{ - 1}}\frac{x}{3} - 3x + \frac{{{x^2}}}{2}} \right]_0^3\\ \Rightarrow A = \left[ {\frac{{3\sqrt {9 - 9} }}{2} + \frac{9}{2}{{\sin }^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{3}{3}} \right) - 3 \times 3 + \frac{9}{2} - 0 - \frac{9}{2}{{\sin }^{ - 1}}\left( 0 \right) + 0 - 0} \right]\\ = \frac{9}{2}{\sin ^{ - 1}}\left( 1 \right) - 9 + \frac{9}{2} - \frac{9}{2}{\sin ^{ - 1}}\left( 0 \right)\\ = \frac{9}{2}.\frac{\pi }{2} - \frac{9}{2} = \frac{9}{2}\left( {\frac{\pi }{2} - 1} \right) \end{array}\)
Hence, (d) is the correct choice.
Question 46 5 / -1
Consider the following probability distribution function defined as,
\({f_x}\left( x \right) = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {\left| x \right|,\;\left| x \right| < 1}\\ {0,\;otherwise} \end{array}} \right.\)
Which of the following is true regarding this PDF?
Solution
Concept:
For a function fx (x) to be a valid PDF, it must satisfy the following conditions:
1) fx (x) ≥ 0
2) \(\mathop \smallint \limits_{ - \infty }^\infty {f_x}\left( x \right)dx = 1\)
Calculation:
Given: \({f_x}\left( x \right) = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {\left| x \right|,\;\left| x \right| < 1}\\ {0,\;otherwise} \end{array}} \right.\)
fx (x) ≥ 0 for all x.
\(\mathop \smallint \limits_{ - \infty }^\infty {f_x}\left( x \right)dx = \mathop \smallint \limits_{ - \infty }^\infty \left| x \right|\;dx\)
\(=\mathop \smallint \limits_{ - 1}^0 \left( { - x} \right)dx + \mathop \smallint \limits_0^1 x\;dx\)
\(=\left. {\frac{{ - {x^2}}}{2}} \right|_{ - 1}^0 + \left. {\frac{{{x^2}}}{2}} \right|_0^1\)
\(=\frac{{ - 1}}{2}\left( { - 1} \right) + \frac{1}{2}\left( {1 - 0} \right)\)
\(= \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = 1\)
Since this function also satisfies both the conditions. So, fx (x) is also a valid PDF.
Question 47 5 / -1
Which of the following is true for binomial distribution?
Solution
Explanation:
If X is said to be a binomial random variable for n random trials with parameters n, p if,
The probability mass function,
B (X : n, p) = p(x) = \(\rm{^n}C_xp^xq^{n-x}\)
Also, p + q = 1
⇒ q = 1 - p
0 ≤ x ≤ n
⇒ Binomial distribution is applicable for independent Events only. (Trial are different but the experiment is the same)
⇒ Constant probability for all success and failure.
Also, the mean of the binomial random variable,
E(x) = np
Also, the variance of the binomial random variable,
V(x) = npq
From the above definitions,
⇒ E(x) > V(x)
Condition to use binomial distribution:
The observation is independent The probability of success is constant The mean is greater than variance.
Question 48 5 / -1
A unit vector a is making angle π/3 with î, π/4 with ĵ and an acute angle θ with k̂.
I. The value of θ is π/3.
II. The components of a are \(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{\sqrt 2}, \frac{1}{\sqrt 2}\)
Which of the above statement(s) is/are correct?
Solution
Concept:
If a vector P makes an angle α with x-axis, β with y-axis, and γ with z-axis.
then cos2 α + cos2 β + cos2 γ = 1
and its components are:
|P| cos α , |P| cos β , |P| cos γ
Where |P| is the magnitude of the given vector.
Calculation:
Since given vector a is the unit vector
⇒ |a| = 1
The vector a is making angle π/3 with î, π/4 with ĵ and an acute angle θ with k̂
⇒ cos2 π/3 + cos2 π/4 + cos2 θ = 1
⇒ (1/2)2 + (1/√2) 2 + cos 2 θ = 1
⇒ 1/4 + 1/2 + cos 2 θ = 1
⇒ cos 2 θ = 1 - 3/4
⇒ cos 2 θ = 1/4
⇒ cos θ = 1/2
⇒ The value of θ is π/3.
So, Statement I is correct.
And components of a are
|a| cos π/3 , |a| cos π/4 , |a| cos π/3
⇒ \(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{\sqrt 2}, \frac{1}{2}\)
So, Statement II is incorrect.
∴ The correct answer is option (1).

The minimum value of z = 5x - 7y, subject to the constraints x + y ≤ 7, 2x - 3y + 6 ≥ 0, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0, is given by
Solution
Concept:
The maximum or minimum value of an objective function occurs at one of the corner points of the feasible region.
Draw the constraints to find the feasible region:
To draw the inequalities, first, draw the equation form of the inequalities.
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:
The objective function: z = 5x - 7y
The constraints: x + y ≤ 7,
2x - 3y + 6 ≥ 0, and x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0.
Explanation:
The graph of the given constraints is shown below -
Here the corner points are (0 , 0) , (7 , 0) , (0 , 2) and (3 , 4).
Values of the objective function at corner points :
z = 5x - 7y
at (0 , 0), z = 0
at (7 , 0), z = 35
at (0 , 2), z = -14 → MINIMUM
at (3 , 4), z = -13
Question 50 5 / -1
Let A = {x ∈ R | x ≥ 0}. A function f : A → R+ is defined by f(x) = x2 . Which one of the following is correct?
Solution
Concept:
If \(\rm f(A) = b \;then \;f^{-1}(b) = a\)
Calculations:
Given A = {x ∈ R | x ≥ 0}. A function f : A → is defined by f(x) = x2 .
Here, \(\rm f(x) = {x^2}\)
⇒ y = x2
∴ x = √y
⇒ \(\rm f^{-1}(x) = √{x}\)
hence, \(\rm f^{-1}\) exist.
Hence, The function has an inverse but f is not its own inverse
