Question 1
Maths · Vector Algebra · Single correct
If vectors $\vec{a_1} = x \hat{i} - \hat{j} + k \hat{k}$ and $\vec{a_2} = \hat{i} + y \hat{j} + z \hat{k}$ are collinear, then a possible unit vector parallel to the vector $x \hat{i} + y \hat{j} + z \hat{k}$ is:
Given $\frac{x}{1} = -\frac{1}{y} = \frac{1}{z} = \lambda$ (let). Unit vector parallel to $x \hat{i} + y \hat{j} + z \hat{k}$ is $\pm \frac{\left( \lambda \hat{i} - \frac{1}{\lambda} \hat{j} + \frac{1}{\lambda} \hat{k} \right)}{\sqrt{\lambda^2 + \frac{2}{\lambda^2}}}$. For $\lambda = 1$, it is $\pm \frac{(\hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k})}{\sqrt{3}}$.
Question 2
Maths · Relations and Functions · Single correct
Let A = {1, 2, 3, $\ldots$, 10$\}$ and f : A $\rightarrow$ A be defined as f(k) = $\begin{cases} k + 1 & \text{if } k \text{ is odd} \\ k & \text{if } k \text{ is even} \end{cases}$ Then the number of possible functions g : A $\rightarrow$ A such that gof = f is:
$10^5$
\[ {}^{10}C_{5} \]
$5^5$
5!
Answer: (a)
Solution
Given $g(f(x)) = f(x)$, it implies $g(x) = x$, when $x$ is even. 5 elements in $A$ can be mapped to any 10. So, $10^5 \times 1 = 10^5$.
Question 3
Maths · Continuity and Differentiability · Single correct
Let $f : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ be defined as $f(x) = \begin{cases} 2 \sin\left(-\frac{\pi x}{2}\right), & if x 1 \end{cases}$ If $f(x)$ is continuous on $\mathbb{R}$, then $a + b$ equals:
3
-1
-3
1
Answer: (b)
Solution
If $f$ is continuous at $x = -1$, then $f(-1^-) = f(-1)$. $$2 = |a - 1 + b|$$ $$|a + b - 1| = 2 \ldots (i)$$ Similarly $$f(1^-) = f(1)$$ $$|a + b + 1| = 0$$ $$a + b = -1$$
Question 4
Maths · Integrals · Single correct
For $x > 0$, if $f(x) = \int_{1}^{x} \frac{\log_e t}{(1+t)} dt$, then $f(e) + f\left(\frac{1}{e}\right)$ is equal to:
Maths · Permutations and Combinations · Single correct
A natural number has prime factorization given by $n = 2^x 3^y 5^z$, where $y$ and $z$ are such that $y + z = 5$ and $y^{-1} + z^{-1} = \frac{5}{6}, y > z$. Then the number of odd divisors of $n$, including 1, is:
11
6x
12
6
Answer: (c)
Solution
Given $y + z = 5$ ...(1) $$\frac{1}{y} + \frac{1}{z} = \frac{5}{6}$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{y+z}{yz} = \frac{5}{6}$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{5}{yz} = \frac{5}{6}$$ $$\Rightarrow yz = 6$$ Also $(y-z)^2 = (y+z)^2 - 4yz$ $$\Rightarrow (y-z)^2 = (y+z)^2 - 4yz$$ $$\Rightarrow (y-z)^2 = 25 - 4(6) = 1$$ $$\Rightarrow y-z = 1$$ From (1) and (2), $y = 3$ and $z = 2$. For calculating odd divisor of $p = 2^x \cdot 3^y \cdot 5^z$ $x$ must be zero $$P = 2^0 \cdot 3^3 \cdot 5^2$$ Therefore, total odd divisors must be $(3+1)(2+1) = 12$
Question 6
Maths · Relations and Functions · Single correct
Let $f(x) = \sin^{-1} x$ and $g(x) = \frac{x^2 - x - 2}{2x^2 - x - 6}$. If $g(2) = \lim_{x \to 2} g(x)$, then the domain of the function fog is :
Given $$g(2) = \lim_{x \to 2} \frac{(x-2)(x+1)}{(2x+3)(x-2)} = \frac{3}{7}$$ For domain of fog $(x)$ $$\left| \frac{x^2 - x - 2}{2x^2 - x - 6} \right| \leq 1$$ This implies $$(3x + 4)(x + 2) \geq 0$$ $$x \in (-\infty, -2] \cup \left( -\frac{4}{3}, \infty \right]$$
Question 7
Maths · Properties of Triangles · Single correct
The triangle of maximum area that can be inscribed in a given circle of radius 'r' is:
A right angle triangle having two of its sides of length $2r$ and $r$.
An equilateral triangle of height $\frac{2r}{3}$.
An isosceles triangle with base equal to $2r$.
An equilateral triangle having each of its side of length $\sqrt{3} \, r$.
Answer: (d)
Solution
Triangle of maximum area that can be inscribed in a circle is an equilateral triangle. Let $\triangle ABC$ be inscribed in the circle. Now, in $\triangle OBD$, $OD = r \cos 60^\circ = \frac{r}{2}$. Height $= AD = \frac{3r}{2}$. Again in $\triangle ABD$, now $\sin 60^\circ = \frac{\frac{3r}{2}}{AB}$. $$\Rightarrow AB = \sqrt{3}r$$
Question 8

Solution
Dr's of line $3\hat{i}-2\hat{j}+\hat{k}$ Direction ratios : $(3,-2,1)$ Point on the line : $(-2,4,0)$ Equation of the line $\frac{x+2}{3}=\frac{y-4}{-2}=\frac{z}{1}=\lambda$ Dr's of $PQ$ $(3\lambda-5,\,-2\lambda+2,\,\lambda-1)$ Dr's of the line are $(3,-2,1)$. Since $PQ\perp$ line, $3(3\lambda-5)-2(-2\lambda+2)+(\lambda-1)=0$ $\Rightarrow 9\lambda-15+4\lambda-4+\lambda-1=0$ $\Rightarrow 14\lambda-20=0$ $\Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{10}{7}$ $P\left(\frac{16}{7},\frac{8}{7},\frac{10}{7}\right)$ $21(\alpha+\beta+\gamma)$ $=21\left(\frac{34}{7}\right)$ $=102$

$-\frac{18}{11}$
$-\frac{18}{19}$
$-\frac{4}{3}$
$\frac{18}{35}$
Answer: (b)
Solution
Given $\($ $\frac{dy}{dx}$ = $\frac{xy^2 + y}{x}$ $\)$. $\($ $\Rightarrow$ xdy - ydx = y^2 $\,$ dx $\)$ $\($ $\Rightarrow$ -d $\left$( $\frac{y}{x}$ $\right$) = d $\left$( $\frac{x^2}{2}$ $\right$) $\)$ $\($ $\Rightarrow$ -$\frac{y}{x}$ = $\frac{x^2}{2}$ + C $\)$ Curve intersects the line $\($ x + 2y = 4 $\)$ at $\($ x = -2 $\)$. So, $\($-2 + 2y = 4 $\Rightarrow$ y = 3 $\)$. So the curve passes through $\($(-2, 3) = $\frac{2}{3}$ = 2 + C $\)$ $\($ $\Rightarrow$ C = -$\frac{4}{3}$ $\)$ Therefore, the curve is $\($ -$\frac{y}{x}$ = $\frac{x^2}{2}$ - $\frac{4}{3}$ $\)$ It also passes through $\($(3, y) $\Rightarrow$ -$\frac{3}{y}$ = $\frac{9}{2}$ - $\frac{4}{3}$ $\)$ $\($ $\Rightarrow$ -$\frac{3}{y}$ = $\frac{19}{6}$ $\)$ $\($ $\Rightarrow$ y = -$\frac{18}{19}$ $\)$

$\frac{1}{7}$
Answer: (c)
Solution
Given $\($ n(S) = $\frac{7!}{2!3!2!}$ $\)$ and $\($ n(E) = $\frac{6!}{2!2!2!}$ $\)$. The probability $\($ P(E) = $\frac{n(E)}{n(S)}$ = $\frac{6!}{7!}$ $\times$ $\frac{2!3!2!}{2!2!2!}$ $\)$. Simplifying, $\($ $\frac{1}{7}$ $\times$ 3 = $\frac{3}{7}$ $\)$.
Question 21
Maths · Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations · Numerical
Let $z$ be those complex number which satisfy $|z + 5| \leq 4$ and $z(1 + i) + \bar{z}(1 - i) \geq -10, i = \sqrt{-1}$ If the maximum value of $|z + 1|^2$ is $\alpha + \beta \sqrt{2}$, then the value of $(\alpha + \beta)$ is
Answer: 48
Solution
Given, $|z + 5| \leq 4$ $$\Rightarrow (x + 5)^2 + y^2 \leq 16 \cdots (1)$$ Also, $z(1+i) + \bar{z}(1-i) \geq -10$. $$\Rightarrow x - y \geq -5 \cdots (2)$$ From (1) and (2) Locus of $z$ is the shaded region in the diagram. $|z + 1|$ represents distance of $z'$ from $Q(-1, 0)$. Clearly $P$ is the required position of $z'$ when $|z + 1|$ is maximum. $$\therefore P \equiv (-5 - 2\sqrt{2}, -2\sqrt{2})$$ $$\therefore (PQ)^2_{max} = 32 + 16\sqrt{2}$$ $$\Rightarrow \alpha = 32$$ $$\Rightarrow \beta = 16$$ Thus, $\alpha + \beta = 48$
Question 22
Maths · Applications of Derivatives · Numerical
Let the normals at all the points on a given curve pass through a fixed point $(a, b)$. If the curve passes through $(3,-3)$ and $\left(4, -2\sqrt{2}\right)$, and given that $a - 2\sqrt{2} \, b = 3$, then $\left(a^2 + b^2 + ab\right)$ is equal to
Answer: 9
Solution
Let the equation of normal is $Y - y = -\frac{1}{m}(X - x)$, where, $m = \frac{dy}{dx}$. As it passes through $(a, b)$ $$b - y = -\frac{1}{m}(a - x) = -\frac{dx}{dy}(a - x)$$ $$\Rightarrow (b - y) dy = (x - a) dx$$ by $$\frac{y^2}{2} = \frac{x^2}{2} - ax + c$$ It passes through $(3, -3) \& (4, -2\sqrt{2})$ $$\therefore -3b - \frac{9}{2} = \frac{9}{2} - 3a + c$$ $$\Rightarrow -6b - 9 = 9 - 6a + 2c$$ $$\Rightarrow 6a - 6b - 2c = 18$$ $$\Rightarrow 3a - 3b - c = 9$$ Also $$-2\sqrt{2}b - 4 = 8 - 4a + c$$ $$4a - 2\sqrt{2}b - c = 12$$ Also $a - 2\sqrt{2}b = 3$ $\ldots$ (iv) (given) (ii) - (iii) $\Rightarrow -a + (2\sqrt{2} - 3)b = -3$ $\ldots$ (v) (iv) + (v) $\Rightarrow b = 0$, $a = 3$ $$\therefore a^2 + b^2 + ab = 9$$
Question 23

Let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be two real numbers such that $\alpha + \beta = 1$ and $\alpha \beta = -1$. Let $P_n = (\alpha)^n + (\beta)^n$, $P_{n-1} = 11$ and $P_{n+1} = 29$ for some integer $n \geq 1$. Then, the value of $P_n^2$ is
In $I_{m,n} = \int_0^1 x^{m-1}(1-x)^{n-1} \, dx$, for $m, n \geq 1$ and $\int_0^1 \frac{x^{m-1}+x^{n-1}}{(1+x)^{m+n}} \, dx = \alpha I_{m,n}$, $\alpha \in \mathbb{R}$, then $\alpha$ equals
Answer: 1
Solution
Given $I_{m,n} = \int_0^1 x^{m-1} \cdot (1-x)^{n-1} dx$. Put $x = \frac{1}{y+1}$, then $dx = \frac{-1}{(y+1)^2} dy$. $1-x = \frac{y}{y+1}$. Therefore, $I_{m,n} = \int_0^\infty \frac{y^{m-1}}{(y+1)^{m+n}} (-1) dy = \int_0^\infty \frac{y^{n-1}}{(y+1)^{m+n}} dy \ldots (i)$ Similarly, $I_{m,n} = \int_0^1 x^{n-1} \cdot (1-x)^{m-1} dx$ $\Rightarrow I_{m,n} = \int_0^\infty \frac{y^{n-1}}{(y+1)^{m+n}} dy \ldots (ii)$ From (i) $\&$ (ii) $2I_{m,n} = \int_0^\infty \frac{y^{m-1}+y^{n-1}}{(y+1)^{m+n}} dy$ $\Rightarrow 2I_{m,n} = \int_0^1 \frac{y^{m-1}+y^{n-1}}{(y+1)^{m+n}} dy + \int_1^\infty \frac{y^{m-1}+y^{n-1}}{(y+1)^{m+n}} dy$ Put $y = \frac{1}{z}$ in $I_2$ $dy = -\frac{1}{z^2} dz$ $\Rightarrow 2I_{m,n} = \int_0^1 \frac{y^{m-1}+y^{n-1}}{(y+1)^{m+n}} dy + \int_1^0 \frac{z^{m-1}+z^{n-1}}{(z+1)^{m+n}} (-dz)$ $\Rightarrow I_{m,n} = \int_0^1 \frac{y^{m-1}+y^{n-1}}{(y+1)^{m+n}} dy \Rightarrow \alpha = 1$

If the arithmetic mean and geometric mean of the $p^{th}$ and $q^{th}$ terms of the sequence $-16, 8, -4, 2, \ldots$ satisfy the equation $4x^2 - 9x + 5 = 0$, then $p + q$ is equal to
Answer: 10
Solution
Given, $4x^2 - 9x + 5 = 0$ $\[$ $\Rightarrow$ (x - 1)(4x - 5) = 0 $\]$ $\[$ $\Rightarrow$ A. M = $\frac{5}{4}$, G. M = 1 (Q.A. M > G. M) $\]$ Again, for the series $-16, 8, -4, 2, \ldots$ $p^{th}$ term $t_p = -16 \left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)^{p-1}$ $q^{th}$ term $t_q = -16 \left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)^{q-1}$ Now, A. M $= \frac{t_p + t_q}{2} = \frac{5}{4}$ and G. M $= \sqrt{t_p t_q} = 1$ $\[$ $\Rightarrow$ 16^2 $\left$(-$\frac{1}{2}$$\right$)^{p+q-2} = 1 $\]$ $\[$ $\Rightarrow$ (-2)^8 = (-2)^{(p+q-2)} $\]$ $\[$ $\Rightarrow$ p + q = 10 $\]$

The equation of the tangent to the circle is $$y = mx \pm \sqrt{\frac{31}{4} m^2 + \frac{31}{4}} \cdots (ii)$$ Comparing equation (i) and (ii), $9m^2 + 4 = \frac{31}{4} m^2 + \frac{31}{4}$. $$\Rightarrow 36m^2 + 16 = 31m^2 + 31$$ $$\Rightarrow 5m^2 = 15$$ $$\Rightarrow m^2 = 3$$

Let a be an integer such that all the real roots of the polynomial $2x^5 + 5x^4 + 10x^3 + 10x^2 + 10x + 10$ lie in the interval $(a, a + 1)$ Then, $|a|$ is equal to
Answer: 2
Solution
Let, $f(x) = 2x^5 + 5x^4 + 10x^3 + 10x^2 + 10x + 10$. Therefore, $f'(x) = 10 \left( x^4 + 2x^3 + 3x^2 + 2x + 1 \right) = 10 \left( x^2 + \frac{1}{x^2} + 2 \left( x + \frac{1}{x} \right) + 3 \right) = 10 \left( \left( x + \frac{1}{x} \right)^2 + 2 \left( x + \frac{1}{x} \right) + 1 \right) = 10 \left( \left( x + \frac{1}{x} + 1 \right)^2 \right) > 0; \forall x \in R$. Therefore, $f(x)$ is strictly increasing function. Since it is an odd degree polynomial it will have exactly one real root. Now, by observation $f(-1) = 3 > 0$. $f(-2) = -64 + 80 - 80 + 40 - 20 + 10 = -34 < 0$. Therefore, $f(x)$ has at least one root in $(-2,-1) \equiv (a, a + 1)$. Therefore, $a = -2$. Therefore, $|a| = 2$.

A particle executes S.H.M., the graph of velocity as a function of displacement is:
a circle
a parabola
an ellipse
a helix
Answer: (c)
Solution
For a body performing SHM, relation between velocity and displacement $v = \omega \sqrt{A^2 - x^2}$. Now, square both sides $v^2 = \omega^2 \left(A^2 - x^2\right)$. $$\Rightarrow v^2 = \omega^2 A^2 - \omega^2 x^2$$ $$v^2 + \omega^2 x^2 = \omega^2 A^2$$ Divide the whole equation by $\omega^2 A^2$: $$\frac{v^2}{\omega^2 A^2} + \frac{\omega^2 x^2}{\omega^2 A^2} = \frac{\omega^2 x^2}{\omega^2 A^2}$$ $$\frac{v^2}{(\omega A)^2} + \frac{x^2}{(A)^2} = 1$$ The above equation is similar to the standard equation of ellipses, so the graph between velocity and displacement will be ellipses.

The angle of projection $\theta$ and the maximum height attained $H$ are respectively given by:
Given: $$y = \alpha x - \beta x^2 \cdots (1)$$ For maximum height, we should find out maximum value of $y$ from equation (1). So, for maximum value of $y$ $$\frac{dy}{dx} = 0 \Rightarrow \alpha - 2\beta x = 0$$ $$x = \frac{\alpha}{2\beta} \cdots (2)$$ Now, put value of $x$ from equation (2) in equation (1) $$y = \alpha \left( \frac{\alpha}{2\beta} \right) - \beta \left( \frac{\alpha^2}{4\beta^2} \right) \Rightarrow \frac{\alpha^2}{4\beta}$$ So, $H_{max} = \frac{\alpha^2}{4\beta} \cdots (3)$ As we know maximum height $H_{max} = \frac{u^2 \sin^2 \theta}{2g} \cdots (4)$ From (3) and (4) $$u^2 = \left( \frac{\alpha^2}{4\beta} \right) \left( \frac{2g}{\sin^2 \theta} \right)$$ And range $(R) = 2x = \frac{u^2 \times 2 \sin \theta \cos \theta}{g}$$ $$2 \left( \frac{\alpha}{2\beta} \right) = \left( \frac{\alpha^2}{4\beta} \right) \left( \frac{2g}{\sin^2 \theta} \right) \times \frac{2 \sin \theta \cos \theta}{g}$$ $$\tan \theta = \alpha \Rightarrow \theta = \tan^{-1}(\alpha)$$

The average S-F bond energy in $\mathrm{kJmol^{-1}}$ of $\mathrm{SF_6}$ is ____ (Rounded off to the nearest integer) [Given : The values of standard enthalpy of formation of $\mathrm{SF_6(g)}$, $\mathrm{S(g)}$ and $\mathrm{F(g)}$ are $-1100$, $275$ and $80 \, \mathrm{kJ \, mol^{-1}}$ respectively.]
Answer: 309
Solution
The reaction is given by: $$\mathrm{SF_6(g)} \longrightarrow \mathrm{S(g)} + 6 \mathrm{F(g)}$$ The enthalpy change of the reaction is: $$\Delta H^\circ_{reaction} = 6 \times E_{S--F} = \Delta H^\circ_f[\mathrm{S(g)}] + 6 \times \Delta H^\circ_f[\mathrm{F(g)}] - \Delta H^\circ_f[\mathrm{SF_6(g)}]$$ Substituting the values: $$6 \times E_{S--F} = 275 + 6 \times 80 - (-1100)$$ Simplifying: $$= 275 + 480 + 1100$$ $$6 \times E_{S--F} = 1855$$ Solving for $E_{S--F}$: $$E_{S--F} = \frac{1855}{6} = 309.1667$$ Therefore, the bond energy is approximately: $$\simeq 309 \, kJ/mol$$ Ans.

A ball weighing 10 g is moving with a velocity of 90 $\mathrm{ms^{-1}}$. If the uncertainty in its velocity is 5$\%$, then the uncertainty in its position is ____ $\times 10^{-33}$ $\mathrm{m}$. (Rounded off to the nearest integer) [Given : $h = 6.63 \times 10^{-34}$ $\mathrm{Js}$ ]
Answer: 1
Solution
Given $m = 10g = 10^{-2} Kg$ and $v = 90 \, m/sec$. $\Delta v = v \times 5\% = 90 \times \frac{5}{100} = 4.5 \, m/sec$ Using the uncertainty principle: $$m \cdot \Delta v \cdot \Delta x \geq \frac{h}{4\pi}$$ Substituting the values: $$10^{-2} \times 4.5 \times \Delta x \geq \frac{6.63 \times 3 \times 10^{-34}}{4 \times \frac{22}{7}}$$ Simplifying: $$\Delta x \geq \frac{6.63 \times 7 \times 2 \times 10^{-34}}{9 \times 4 \times 22 \times 10^{-2}}$$ Further simplification gives: $$\Delta x \geq 1.17 \times 10^{-33} = x \times 10^{-33}$$ Thus, $x = 1.17 \approx 1$
