Question 1
Maths · Determinants · Single correct
Let $A$ be a $3\times3$ matrix with $\det(A)=4$. Let $R_i$ denote the $i^{\text{th}}$ row of $A$. If a matrix $B$ is obtained by performing the operation $R_2 \rightarrow 2R_2+5R_3$ on $2A$, then $\det(B)$ is equal to:
The integral $\int \frac{e^{3 \log_e 2x + 5e^{2 \log_e 2x}}}{e^{4 \log_e x + 5e^{3 \log_e x - 7e^{2 \log_e x}}}} \, dx, \ x > 0$, is equal to: (where $c$ is a constant of integration)
$\log_e |x^2 + 5x - 7| + c$
$\frac{1}{4} \log_e |x^2 + 5x - 7| + c$
$4 \log_e |x^2 + 5x - 7| + c$
$\log_e \sqrt{x^2 + 5x - 7} + c$
Answer: (c)
Solution
Given the integral $$\int \frac{e^{3 \log_e x} + 5 e^{2 \log_e x}}{e^{\log_e x} + 5 e^{\log_e x} - 7 e^{2 \log_e x}} \, dx$$ we simplify the expression. First, rewrite the exponents: $$= \int \frac{x^3 + 5x^2}{x + 5x - 7x^2} \, dx$$ Simplify the denominator: $$= \int \frac{x^3 + 5x^2}{6x - 7x^2} \, dx$$ Factor the denominator: $$= \int \frac{x^2(x + 5)}{x(6 - 7x)} \, dx$$ Cancel common terms: $$= \int \frac{x^2 + 5x}{6 - 7x} \, dx$$ Let $t = 6 - 7x$, then $dt = -7 \, dx$ or $dx = -\frac{1}{7} \, dt$. Substitute and integrate: $$= \int \frac{-4}{t} \, dt$$ Integrate: $$= -4 \ln |t| + C$$ Substitute back for $t$: $$= 4 \ln |6 - 7x| + C$$ Thus, the solution is: $$= 4 \ln |x^2 + 5x - 7| + c$$
Question 3
Maths · Applications of Derivatives · Single correct
The shortest distance between the line $x - y = 1$ and the curve $x^2 = 2y$ is:
$\frac{1}{2}$
0
$\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}$
$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
Answer: (c)
Solution
Shortest distance must be along common normal. Given $m_1$ (slope of line $x - y = 1$) $= 1$ implies slope of perpendicular line $= -1$. $m_2 = \frac{2x}{2} = x \implies m_2 = h$ implies slope of normal $= -\frac{1}{h}$. $-\frac{1}{h} = -1 \implies h = 1$. So point is $\left(1, \frac{1}{2}\right)$. $$D = \left| \frac{1 - \frac{1}{2} - 1}{\sqrt{1+1}} \right| = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}$$

A hyperbola passes through the foci of the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{25} + \frac{y^2}{16} = 1$ and its transverse and conjugate axes coincide with major and minor axes of the ellipse, respectively. If the product of their eccentricities is one, then the equation of the hyperbola is:
$\frac{x^2}{9} - \frac{y^2}{4} = 1$
$\frac{x^2}{9} - \frac{y^2}{16} = 1$
$x^2 - y^2 = 9$
$\frac{x^2}{9} - \frac{y^2}{25} = 1$
Answer: (b)
Solution
Given $e_1 = \sqrt{1 - \frac{16}{25}} = \frac{3}{5}$, foci $(\pm ae, 0)$. Foci $=(\pm 3, 0)$. Let the equation of the hyperbola be $\frac{x^2}{A^2} - \frac{y^2}{B^2} = 1$. Passes through $(\pm 3, 0)$, $A^2 = 9$, $A = 3$, $e_2 = \frac{5}{3}$. $$e_2^2 = 1 + \frac{B^2}{A^2}$$ $$\frac{25}{9} = 1 + \frac{B^2}{9} \Rightarrow B^2 = 16$$ Answer: $$\frac{x^2}{9} - \frac{y^2}{16} = 1$$

$\sqrt{\frac{2}{5}}$
$\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}$
$\sqrt{\frac{2}{11}}$
$\sqrt{\frac{2}{7}}$

Now, given O(0, 0, 0) & P(2, -1, 1) Plane is $3x - y + z - 4 = 0$ $O'$ & $P'$ are foot of perpendiculars. For $O'$ $$\frac{x-0}{3} = \frac{y-0}{-1} = \frac{z-0}{1} = \frac{-(-0+0+4)}{9+1+1}$$ $$\frac{x}{3} = \frac{y}{-1} = \frac{z}{1} = \frac{4}{11}$$ $$\Rightarrow O'\left(\frac{12}{11}, -\frac{4}{11}, \frac{4}{11}\right)$$ For $P'$ $$\frac{x-2}{3} = \frac{y+1}{-1} = \frac{z-1}{1} = \frac{-3(2)-(-1)+1-4}{9+1+1}$$ $$\frac{x-2}{3} = \frac{y+1}{-1} = \frac{z-1}{1} = \left(-\frac{4}{11}\right)$$ $$P'\left(-\frac{12}{11} + 2, \frac{4}{11} - 1, -\frac{4}{11} + 1\right)$$ $$\Rightarrow P'\left(\frac{10}{11}, -\frac{7}{11}, \frac{7}{11}\right)$$ $O'P' = \sqrt{\left(\frac{10}{11} - \frac{12}{11}\right)^2 + \left(-\frac{7}{11} + \frac{4}{11}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{7}{11} - \frac{4}{11}\right)^2}$ $$\Rightarrow O'P' = \frac{1}{11}\sqrt{4 + 9 + 9}$$ $$\Rightarrow O'P' = \frac{\sqrt{22}}{11}$$ $$\Rightarrow O'P' = \frac{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{11}}{11}$$ $$\Rightarrow O'P' = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{11}$$

The total number of two digit numbers 'n', such that $3^n + 7^n$ is a multiple of 10, is
Answer: 45
Solution
Given: $7^n = (10 - 3)^n = 10K + (-3)^n$. Therefore, $7^n + 3^n = 10K + (-3)^n + 3^n$. If $n$ is odd, $3^n = 3^{2t} = (10 - 1)^t = 10p + (-1)^t = 10p \pm 1$. If $n$ is even, then $7^n + 3^n$ will not be a multiple of 10. So if $n$ is odd, then only $7^n + 3^n$ will be a multiple of 10. Therefore, $n = 11, 13, 15, \ldots, 99$. Answer: 45

Let $\vec{a}$ = $\hat{i}$ + $\alpha$ $\hat{j}$ + 3 $\hat{k}$ and $\vec{b}$ = 3 $\hat{i}$ - $\alpha$ $\hat{j}$ + $\hat{k}$. If the area of the parallelogram whose adjacent sides are represented by the vectors $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$ is 8 $\sqrt{3}$ square units, then $\vec{a}$ $\cdot$ $\vec{b}$ is equal to
Answer: 2
Solution
Given $\vec{a} = \hat{i} + \alpha \hat{j} + 3 \hat{k}$ and $\vec{b} = 3 \hat{i} - \alpha \hat{j} + \hat{k}$. The area of the parallelogram is $|\vec{a} \times \vec{b}|$. This is equal to $| (\hat{i} + \alpha \hat{j} + 3 \hat{k}) \times (3 \hat{i} - \alpha \hat{j} + \hat{k}) |$. Calculating, we have $8 \sqrt{3} = |(4 \alpha) \hat{i} + 8 \hat{j} - (4 \alpha) \hat{k}|$. Then, $(64)(3) = 16 \alpha^2 + 64 + 16 \alpha^2$. Simplifying, $(64)(3) = 32 \alpha^2 + 64$. Thus, $6 = \alpha^2 + 2$. Solving for $\alpha$, $\alpha^2 = 4$. Therefore, $\vec{a} = \hat{i} + \alpha \hat{j} + 3 \hat{k}$ and $\vec{b} = 3 \hat{i} - \alpha \hat{j} + \hat{k}$. The dot product $\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = 3 - \alpha^2 + 3$. This simplifies to $6 - \alpha^2 = 6 - 4 = 2$.

Answer: 4
Solution
Given the equations $4y^3 \frac{dy}{dx} = 1$ and $x \frac{dy}{dx} + y = 0$. Let $m_1 = \frac{1}{4y^3} \frac{dy}{dx}$ and $m_2 = -\frac{y}{x}$. We have $m_1 m_2 = -1$. Thus, $\frac{1}{4y^3} \times \frac{-y}{x} = -1$. Therefore, $x = y^4$. Now, $\frac{1}{4y^6} = 1$ and $xy = k$. This implies $y^6 = \frac{1}{4}$, which gives $k^6 = y^{30}$. Thus, $k^6 = \left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^5$. Therefore, $(4k)^6 = 4^6 \times k^6 = 4$.

The value of $\int_{2}^{2} |3x^2 - 3x - 6| \, dx$ is
Answer: 19
Solution
Given the integral $3 \int_{-2}^{2} |x^2 - x - 2| \, dx$. The expression $x^2 - x - 2$ can be factored as $(x - 2)(x + 1)$. This changes sign at $x = -1$ and $x = 2$. Therefore, we split the integral as follows: $$= 3 \left\{ \int_{-2}^{-1} (x^2 - x - 2) \, dx + \int_{-1}^{2} (-x^2 + x + 2) \, dx \right\}$$ Evaluating the integrals, we have: $$= 3 \left[ \left( \frac{x^3}{3} - \frac{x^2}{2} - 2x \right)_{-2}^{-1} - \left( \frac{x^3}{3} - \frac{x^2}{2} - 2x \right)_{-1}^{2} \right]$$ Simplifying, we find: $$= 19$$

Answer: 44
Solution
Given $\ell_1: \vec{r} = (3 + t)\hat{i} + (-1 + 2t)\hat{j} + (4 + 2t)\hat{k}$. For $\ell_1: \frac{x-3}{1} = \frac{y+1}{2} = \frac{z-4}{2}$, the direction ratios of $\ell_1$ are $1, 2, 2$. For $\ell_2: \vec{r} = (3 + 2s)\hat{i} + (3 + 2s)\hat{j} + (2 + s)\hat{k}$. For $\ell_2: \frac{x-3}{2} = \frac{y-3}{2} = \frac{z-2}{1}$, the direction ratios of $\ell_2$ are $2, 2, 1$. The direction ratios of $\ell$ is $1$ to $\ell_1$ and $\ell_2$. Direction ratios of $\ell \parallel (\ell_1 \times \ell_2) \Rightarrow \langle -2, 3, -2 \rangle$. Equation of $\ell$: $\frac{x}{2} = \frac{y}{-3} = \frac{z}{2}$. Solving $\ell$ and $\ell_1$: $$(2\lambda, -3\lambda, 2\lambda) = (\mu + 3, 2\mu - 1, 2\mu + \mu)$$ $$\Rightarrow 2\lambda = \mu + 3$$ $$-3\lambda = 2\mu - 1$$ $$2\lambda = 2\mu + 4$$ $$\mu = -1$$ $$\lambda = -1$$ $P(2, -3, 2)$ is the intersection point. Let $Q(2v + 3, 2v + 3, v + 2)$ be a point on $\ell_2$. Now, $PQ = \sqrt{(2v + 3 - 2)^2 + (2v + 3 + 3)^2 + (v + 2 - 2)^2} = \sqrt{17}$. $$(2v + 1)^2 + (2v + 6)^2 + (v)^2 = 17$$ $$9v^2 + 28v + 36 + 1 - 17 = 0$$ $$9v^2 + 28v + 20 = 0$$ $$9v^2 + 18v + 10v + 20 = 0$$ $$(9v + 10)(v + 2) = 0$$ $$v = -2 (rejected), -\frac{10}{9} (accepted)$$ $Q\left(3 - \frac{20}{9}, 3 - \frac{20}{9}, 2 - \frac{10}{9}\right)$ $$\left(\frac{7}{9}, \frac{7}{9}, \frac{8}{9}\right)$$ Therefore, $18(a + b + c)$: $$= 18\left(\frac{7}{9} + \frac{7}{9} + \frac{8}{9}\right)$$ $$= 44$$

An electron with kinetic energy $K_1$ enters between parallel plates of a capacitor at an angle $\alpha$ with the plates. It leaves the plates at angle $\beta$ with kinetic energy $K_2$. Then the ratio of kinetic energies $K_1 : K_2$ will be:
$\frac{\sin^2 \beta}{\cos^2 \alpha}$
$\frac{\cos^2 \beta}{\cos^2 \alpha}$
$\frac{\cos \beta}{\sin \alpha}$
$\frac{\cos \beta}{\cos \alpha}$
Answer: (b)

If a compound AB dissociates to the extent of 75$\%$ in an aqueous solution, the molality of the solution which shows a 2.5 $\mathrm{K}$ rise in the boiling point of the solution is ____ molal. $\left[K_b=0.52\,\mathrm{K\,kg\,mol^{-1}}\right]$
Answer: 3
Solution
The reaction is given by $AB \rightarrow A^+ + B^-$. The concentrations are $1 - \alpha$, $\alpha$, and $\alpha$. Given $\alpha = 3/4$ and $N = 2$. The van't Hoff factor $i$ is calculated as $i = [1 + (2 - 1)\alpha]$. Substituting the values, we have: $$2.5 = [1 + (2 - 1)3/4] \times 0.52 \times m$$ Solving for $m$: $$m = \frac{2.5}{0.52 \times 7/4} = \frac{10}{3.64} = 2.747$$ Thus, $m = 2.747 \approx 3 \, \mathrm{mol/kg}$.

The number of compound/s given below which contain's - COOH group is $(a)$ Sulphanilic acid $(b)$ Picric acid $(c)$ Aspirin $(d)$ Ascorbic acid
Sulphanilic acid
Picric acid
Aspirin
Ascorbic acid
Answer: (a)
Solution
\textbf{Solution:} Sulphanilic acid contains the \(-\mathrm{SO_3H}\) group, not \(-\mathrm{COOH}\). Picric acid is \(2,4,6\)-trinitrophenol and contains a phenolic \(-\mathrm{OH}\) group. Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) contains one \(-\mathrm{COOH}\) group. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is a lactone and does not contain a \(-\mathrm{COOH}\) group. Therefore, only aspirin contains the \(-\mathrm{COOH}\) group. \[ \boxed{1} \]
