Question 1
Maths · Three Dimensional Geometry · Single correct
Let L be the line of intersection of planes $\vec{r} \cdot (\hat{i} - \hat{j} + 2\hat{k}) = 2$ and $\vec{r} \cdot (2\hat{i} + \hat{j} - \hat{k}) = 2$. If $P(\alpha, \beta, \gamma)$ is the foot of perpendicular on L from the point $(1, 2, 0)$, then the value of $35(\alpha + \beta + \gamma)$ is equal to:
101
119
143
134
Answer: (b)
Solution
$P_1:\ x-y+2z=2$ $P_2:\ 2x+y-3=2$ Let line of Intersection of planes $P_1$ and $P_2$ cuts $xy$ plane in point $Q$. $\Rightarrow$ $z$-coordinate of point $Q$ is zero $\Rightarrow \begin{cases} x - y = 2 \\ 2x + y = 2 \end{cases}$ $\Rightarrow x = \frac{4}{3}, y = \frac{-2}{3}$ $\Rightarrow Q \left( \frac{4}{3}, \frac{-2}{3}, 0 \right)$ Vector parallel to the line of intersection $\vec{a} = \begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ 1 & -1 & 2 \\ 2 & 1 & -1 \end{vmatrix} = -\hat{i} + 5\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}$ Equation of Line of intersection $$\frac{x - \frac{4}{3}}{-1} = \frac{y + \frac{2}{3}}{5} = \frac{z - 0}{3} = \lambda (say)$$ Let coordinates of foot of perpendicular be $F \left( -\lambda + \frac{4}{3}, 5\lambda - \frac{2}{3}, 3\lambda \right)$ $\overrightarrow{PF} = \left( -\lambda + \frac{1}{3} \right) \hat{i} + \left( 5\lambda - \frac{8}{3} \right) \hat{j} + (3\lambda) \hat{k}$ $\overrightarrow{PF} \cdot \vec{a} = 0$ $\Rightarrow \lambda - \frac{1}{3} + 25\lambda - \frac{40}{3} + 9\lambda = 0$ $\Rightarrow 35\lambda = \frac{41}{3} \Rightarrow \lambda = \frac{41}{105}$ Now, $\alpha = -\lambda + \frac{4}{3}, \beta = 5\lambda - \frac{2}{3}, \gamma = 3\lambda$ $\Rightarrow \alpha + \beta + \gamma = 7\lambda + \frac{2}{3}$ $= 7 \left( \frac{41}{105} \right) + \frac{2}{3}$ $= \frac{51}{15}$ $\Rightarrow 35(\alpha + \beta + \gamma) = \frac{51}{15} \times 35 = 119$
Question 2
Maths · Sequences and Series · Single correct
Let $S_n$ denote the sum of first $n$ -terms of an arithmetic progression. If $S_{10} = 530$, $S_5 = 140$, then $S_{20} - S_6$ is equal to :
1862
1842
1852
1872
Answer: (a)
Solution
Given $S_{10} = 530$, we have $$\frac{10}{2} \{2a + 9d\} = 530$$ which implies $$2a + 9d = 106 \ldots (1)$$ and $S_5 = 140$, so $$\frac{5}{2} \{2a + 4d\} = 140$$ which implies $$2a + 4d = 56 \ldots (2)$$ Solving equations (1) and (2), we get $$5d = 50 \Rightarrow d = 10$$ and $$a = 8$$ Now, $$S_{20} - S_6 = \frac{20}{2} \{2a + 19d\} - \frac{6}{2} \{2a + 5d\}$$ Simplifying, we get $$= 14a + 175d$$ Substituting the values, $$= (14 \times 8) + (175 \times 10)$$ $$= 1862$$
Question 3
Maths · Applications of Derivatives · Single correct
Let $f : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ be defined as $$ f(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{-4}{3}x^3 + 2x^2 + 3x, & x > 0 \\ 3xe^x, & x \leq 0 \end{cases} $$ Then $f$ is increasing function in the interval
$\left( -\frac{1}{2}, 2 \right)$
$(0, 2)$
$\left( -1, \frac{3}{2} \right)$
$(-3, -1)$
Answer: (c)
Solution
For $x > 0$, $f'(x) = -4x^2 + 4x + 3$. $f(x)$ is increasing in $\left(-\frac{1}{2}, \frac{3}{2}\right)$. For $x \leq 0$, $f'(x) = 3e^x(1 + x)$. $f'(x) > 0 \forall x \in (-1, 0)$ $\Rightarrow f(x)$ is increasing in $(-1, 0)$. So, in complete domain $f(x)$ is increasing in $\left(-1, \frac{3}{2}\right)$.

$e^{1/2}$
$e^{-1/2}$
$e^{-1}$
$e$
Answer: (c)
Solution
Given $\($ $\frac{dy}{dx}$ + 2 $\sin$^2 x = 1 + y $\cos$ 2x $\)$ $\($ $\Rightarrow$ $\frac{dy}{dx}$ + (- $\cos$ 2x)y = $\cos$ 2x $\)$ I.F. = $\($ e^{$\int$ - $\cos$ 2x $\,$ dx} = e^{- $\frac{\sin 2x}{2}$} $\)$ Solution of D.E. $\($ y $\left$( e^{- $\frac{\sin 2x}{2}$} $\right$) = $\int$ ($\cos$ 2x) $\left$( e^{- $\frac{\sin 2x}{2}$} $\right$) dx + c $\)$ $\($ $\Rightarrow$ y $\left$( e^{- $\frac{\sin 2x}{2}$} $\right$) = -e^{- $\frac{\sin 2x}{2}$} + c $\)$ Given $\($ y $\left$( $\frac{\pi}{4}$ $\right$) = 0 $\)$ $\($ $\Rightarrow$ 0 = -e^{-1/2} + c $\Rightarrow$ c = e^{-1/2} $\)$ $\($ $\Rightarrow$ y $\left$( e^{- $\frac{\sin 2x}{2}$} $\right$) = -e^{- $\frac{\sin 2x}{2}$} + e^{-1/2} $\)$ at $\($ x = 0 $\)$ $\($ y = -1 + e^{-1/2} $\)$ $\($ $\Rightarrow$ y(0) = -1 + e^{-1/2} $\Rightarrow$ (y(0) + 1)^2 = e^{-1} $\)$

$\frac{45}{162}$
$\frac{23}{81}$
$\frac{22}{81}$
$\frac{43}{162}$
Answer: (d)
Solution
$A=\begin{vmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{vmatrix}$ $|A|=ad-bc$ Total cases $=6^4$ For a non-singular matrix, $|A|\neq0$ $\Rightarrow ad-bc\neq0$ $\Rightarrow ad\neq bc$ And $a,\;b,\;c,\;d$ are all different numbers in the set $\{1,2,3,4,5,6\}$. Now for $ad=bc$ (i) $6\times1=2\times3$ $\Rightarrow a=6,\ b=2,\ c=3,\ d=1$ or $a=1,\ b=2,\ c=3,\ d=6$ $\Rightarrow 8$ such cases (ii) $6\times2=3\times4$ $\Rightarrow a=6,\ b=3,\ c=4,\ d=2$ or $a=2,\ b=3,\ c=4,\ d=6$ $\Rightarrow 8$ such cases Favourable cases $={}^{6}C_{4}\times4!-16$ Required probability $=\dfrac{{}^{6}C_{4}\times4!-16}{6^4}$ $=\dfrac{43}{162}$
Question 6
Maths · Vector Algebra · Single correct
Let a vector $\vec{a}$ be coplanar with vectors $\vec{b} = 2\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k}$ and $\vec{c} = \hat{i} - \hat{j}$. If $\vec{a}$ is perpendicular to $\vec{d} = 3\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 6\hat{k}$, and $|\vec{a}| = \sqrt{10}$. Then a possible value of $[\vec{a} \ \vec{b} \ \vec{c}] + [\vec{a} \ \vec{b} \ \vec{d}] + [\vec{a} \ \vec{c} \ \vec{d}]$ is equal to:
If $\int$_{0}^{100$\pi$} $\frac{\sin^2 x}{e^{\left(\frac{x}{\pi}\right)}}$ $\,$ dx = $\frac{\alpha \pi^3}{1 + 4\pi^2}$, $\alpha$ $\in$ $\mathbb{R}$ where [x] is the greatest integer less than or equal to x, then the value of $\alpha$ is:
Let three vectors $\vec{a}$, $\vec{b}$ and $\vec{c}$ be such that $\vec{a} \times \vec{b} = \vec{c}$, $\vec{b} \times \vec{c} = \vec{a}$ and $|\vec{a}| = 2$. Then which one of the following is not true?
The values of $\lambda$ and $\mu$ such that the system of equations $x + y + z = 6$, $3x + 5y + 5z = 26$ $x + 2y + \lambda z = \mu$ has no solution, are :
$\lambda = 3, \mu = 5$
$\lambda = 3, \mu \neq 10$
$\lambda \neq 2, \mu = 10$
$\lambda = 2, \mu \neq 10$
Answer: (d)
Solution
Given the equations: $$x + y + z = 6 ...(i)$$ $$3x + 5y + 5z = 26 ...(ii)$$ $$x + 2y + \lambda z = \mu ...(iii)$$ Multiplying equation (i) by 5 and subtracting equation (ii) gives: $$5 \times (i) - (ii) \Rightarrow 2x = 4 \Rightarrow x = 2$$ From equations (i) and (ii), we have: $$y + z = 4 ...(iv)$$ Substituting $x = 2$ into equation (iii) gives: $$2y + \lambda z = \mu - 2 ...(v)$$ Subtracting twice equation (iv) from equation (v) gives: $$(v) - 2 \times (iv) \Rightarrow (\lambda - 2)z = \mu - 10$$ Solving for $z$ and $y$ gives: $$z = \frac{\mu - 10}{\lambda - 2} \& y = 4 - \frac{\mu - 10}{\lambda - 2}$$ For no solution, $\lambda = 2$ and $\mu \neq 10$.
Question 10
Maths · Three Dimensional Geometry · Single correct
If the shortest distance between the straight lines $3(x - 1) = 6(y - 2) = 2(z - 1)$ and $4(x - 2) = 2(y - \lambda) = (z - 3)$, $\lambda \in \mathbb{R}$ is $\frac{1}{\sqrt{38}}$, then the integral value of $\lambda$ is equal to:
3
2
5
-1
Answer: (a)
Solution
Given the lines: $$L_1: \frac{(x-1)}{2} = \frac{(y-2)}{1} = \frac{(z-1)}{3}$$ $$\vec{r_1} = 2\hat{i} + \hat{j} + 3\hat{k}$$ $$L_2: \frac{(x-2)}{1} = \frac{y-\lambda}{2} = \frac{z-3}{4}$$ $$\vec{r_2} = \hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 4\hat{k}$$ Shortest distance is the projection of $\vec{a}$ on $\vec{r_1} \times \vec{r_2}$. $$= \frac{\left| \vec{a} \cdot (\vec{r_1} \times \vec{r_2}) \right|}{|\vec{r_1} \times \vec{r_2}|}$$ $$= \left| \begin{vmatrix} 1 & \lambda - 2 & 2 \\ 2 & 1 & 3 \\ 1 & 2 & 4 \end{vmatrix} \right| = |14 - 5\lambda|$$ $$|\vec{r_1} \times \vec{r_2}| = \sqrt{38}$$ Therefore, $$\frac{1}{\sqrt{38}} \cdot \frac{|14 - 5\lambda|}{\sqrt{38}} = 1$$ $$\Rightarrow |14 - 5\lambda| = 1$$ $$\Rightarrow 14 - 5\lambda = 1 or 14 - 5\lambda = -1$$ $$\Rightarrow \lambda = \frac{13}{5} or 3$$ Therefore, the integral value of $\lambda$ is 3.
Question 11

$(\sim p \Rightarrow q) \lor (\sim q \Rightarrow p)$
Answer: (d)
Solution
Given the expressions: (1) $(p \rightarrow q) \lor (\sim q \rightarrow p)$ $$= (\sim p \lor q) \lor (q \lor p)$$ $$= (\sim p \lor p) \lor q$$ $$= t \lor q = t$$ (2) $(q \rightarrow p) \lor (\sim q \rightarrow p)$ $$= (\sim q \lor p) \lor (q \lor p)$$ $$= (\sim q \lor q) \lor p$$ $$= t \lor p = t$$ (3) $(p \rightarrow \sim q) \lor (\sim q \rightarrow p)$ $$= (\sim p \lor \sim q) \lor (q \lor p)$$ $$= (\sim p \lor q) \lor (\sim q \lor q)$$ $$= t \lor t = t$$ (4) $(\sim q \rightarrow q) \lor (\sim q \rightarrow p)$ $$= (p \lor q) \lor (q \lor p)$$ $$= (p \lor p) \lor (q \lor p)$$ $$= p \lor q$$ Which is not a tautology.
Question 12
Maths · Matrices · Single correct
Let $A = [a_i]$ be a real matrix of order $3 \times 3$, such that $a_{i1} + a_2 + a_3 = 1$, for $i = 1, 2, 3$. Then, the sum of all the entries of the matrix $A^3$ is equal to:
Let $\($[x]$\)$ denote the greatest integer less than or equal to $\($x$\)$. Then, the values of $\($x $\in$ $\mathbb{R}$$\)$ satisfying the equation \[ [e^x]^2 + [e^x + 1] - 3 = 0 \] lie in the interval:
(0, $\frac{1}{e}$)
\[ [\log_c 2,\ \log_c 3) \]
$[1, e)$
\[ [0,\ \log_c 2) \]
Answer: (d)
Solution
Given $[e^x]^2 + [e^x + 1] - 3 = 0$. This implies $[e^x]^2 + [e^x] + 1 - 3 = 0$. Let $[e^x] = t$. Then $t^2 + t - 2 = 0$. Solving, we get $t = -2, 1$. For $[e^x] = -2$ (Not possible). Or $[e^x] = 1$, therefore $1 \leq e^x < 2$. This implies $\ln(1) \leq x < \ln(2)$. Thus, $0 \leq x < \ln(2)$. Therefore, $x \in [0, \ln 2)$.
Question 14
Maths · Conic Sections · Single correct
Let the circle $S : 36x^2 + 36y^2 - 108x + 120y + C = 0$ be such that it neither intersects nor touches the co-ordinate axes. If the point of intersection of the lines, $x - 2y = 4$ and $2x - y = 5$ lies inside the circle $S$, then:
$\frac{25}{9} < C < \frac{13}{3}$
$100 < C < 165$
$81 < C < 156$
$100 < C < 156$
Answer: (d)
Solution
Given the equation $S : 36x^2 + 36y^2 - 108x + 120y + C = 0$. This simplifies to $x^2 + y^2 - 3x + \frac{10}{3}y + \frac{C}{36} = 0$. The centre is $(-g, -f) \equiv \left( \frac{3}{2}, -\frac{10}{6} \right)$ and the radius is $r = \sqrt{\frac{9}{4} + \frac{100}{36} - \frac{C}{36}}$. Now, $r 100$. (1) Now the point of intersection of $x - 2y = 4$ and $2x - y = 5$ is $(2, -1)$, which lies inside the circle $S$. Therefore, $S(2, -1) < 0$ implies $(2)^2 + (-1)^2 - 3(2) + \frac{10}{3}(-1) + \frac{C}{36} < 0$, which simplifies to $4 + 1 - 6 - \frac{10}{3} + \frac{C}{36} < 0$. This gives $C < 156$. (2) From (1) and (2), $100 < C < 156$.
Question 15
Maths · Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations · Single correct
Let n denote the number of solutions of the equation $z^2 + 3\bar{z} = 0$, where $z$ is a complex number. Then the value of $\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^k}$ is equal to
1
$\frac{4}{3}$
$\frac{3}{2}$
2
Answer: (b)
Solution
Given $z^2 + 3z = 0$. Put $z = x + iy$. This implies $$x^2 - y^2 + 2ixy + 3(x - iy) = 0$$ $$\Rightarrow (x^2 - y^2 + 3x) + i(2xy - 3y) = 0 + i0$$ Therefore, $$x^2 - y^2 + 3x = 0 \ldots (1)$$ $$2xy - 3y = 0 \ldots (2)$$ From equation (2), $x = \frac{3}{2}, y = 0$. Put $x = \frac{3}{2}$ in equation (1): $$\frac{9}{4} - y^2 + \frac{9}{2} = 0$$ $$y^2 = \frac{27}{4} \Rightarrow y = \pm \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}$$ Therefore, $$(x, y) = \left( \frac{3}{2}, \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2} \right), \left( \frac{3}{2}, -\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2} \right)$$ Put $y = 0$ to get $$x^2 - 0 + 3x = 0$$ $$x = 0, -3$$ Therefore, $$(x, y) = (0, 0), (-3, 0)$$ Thus, the number of solutions $= n = 4$ $$\sum_{K=0}^{\infty} \left( \frac{1}{n^k} \right) = \sum_{K=0}^{\infty} \left( \frac{1}{4^k} \right)$$ $$= \frac{1}{1} + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{16} + \frac{1}{64} + \ldots$$ $$= \frac{1}{1 - \frac{1}{4}} = \frac{4}{3}$$
Question 16

The number of solutions of $\sin^7 x + \cos^7 x = 1$, $x \in [0, 4\pi]$ is equal to
11
7
5
9
Answer: (c)
Solution
Given $\sin^7 x \leq \sin^2 x \leq 1 \ldots (1)$ and $\cos^7 x \leq \cos^2 x \leq 1 \ldots (2)$ also $\sin^2 x + \cos^2 x = 1$. Therefore, equality must hold for $(1)$ and $(2)$, which implies $\sin^7 x = \sin^2 x$ and $\cos^7 x = \cos^2 x$. This leads to $\sin x = 0$ and $\cos x = 1$ or $\cos x = 0$ and $\sin x = 1$. Thus, $x = 0, 2\pi, 4\pi, \frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{5\pi}{2}$. Hence, there are 5 solutions.
Question 17
Maths · Relations and Functions · Single correct
If the domain of the function $f(x) = \frac{\cos^{-1} \sqrt{x^2 - x + 1}}{\sqrt{\sin^{-1} \left( \frac{2x - 1}{2} \right)}}$ is the interval $(\alpha, \beta]$, then $\alpha + \beta$ is equal to:
$\frac{3}{2}$
2
$\frac{1}{2}$
1
Answer: (a)
Solution
Given $0 \leq x^2 - x + 1 \leq 1$. This implies $x^2 - x \leq 0$. Therefore, $x \in [0, 1]$. Also, $0 < \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{2x-1}{2}\right) \leq \frac{\pi}{2}$. This implies $0 < \frac{2x-1}{2} \leq 1$. Therefore, $0 < 2x - 1 \leq 2$. This gives $1 < 2x \leq 3$. Hence, $\frac{1}{2} < x \leq \frac{3}{2}$. Taking intersection $x \in \left(\frac{1}{2}, 1\right]$. Therefore, $\alpha = \frac{1}{2}, \beta = 1$.
Question 18

Let $f : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ be defined as $$f(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{x^3}{(1 - \cos 2x)^2} \log_e \left( \frac{1 + 2xe^{-2x}}{(1 - xe^{-x})^2} \right), & x \neq 0 \\ \alpha, & x = 0 \end{cases}.$$ If $f$ is continuous at $x = 0$, then $\alpha$ is equal to:
Let a line $L : 2x + y = k, k > 0$ be a tangent to the hyperbola $x^2 - y^2 = 3$. If $L$ is also a tangent to the parabola $y^2 = \alpha x$, then $\alpha$ is equal to:
12
-12
24
-24
Answer: (d)
Solution
Tangent to hyperbola of Slope $m = -2$ (given) $$y = -2x \pm \sqrt{3}(3)$$ $$\left( y = mx \pm \sqrt{x^2 m^2 - b^2} \right)$$ $$\Rightarrow y + 2x = \pm 3 \Rightarrow 2x + y = 3 (k > 0)$$ For parabola $y^2 = \alpha x$ $$y = mx + \frac{\alpha}{4m}$$ $$\Rightarrow y = -2x + \frac{\alpha}{8}$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{\alpha}{8} = 3$$ $$\Rightarrow \alpha = -24.$$
Question 20

Let $\mathrm{E}_1 : \frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1, \ a > b$. Let $\mathrm{E}_2$ be another ellipse such that it touches the end points of major axis of $\mathrm{E}_1$ and the foci of $\mathrm{E}_2$ are the end points of minor axis of $\mathrm{E}_1$. If $\mathrm{E}_1$ and $\mathrm{E}_2$ have same eccentricities, then its value is :
$\frac{-1+\sqrt{5}}{2}$
$\frac{-1+\sqrt{8}}{2}$
$\frac{-1+\sqrt{3}}{2}$
$\frac{-1+\sqrt{6}}{2}$
Answer: (a)
Solution
Given the equations: $$e^2 = 1 - \frac{b^2}{a^2}$$ $$e^2 = 1 - \frac{a^2}{c^2}$$ This implies: $$\frac{b^2}{a^2} = \frac{a^2}{c^2}$$ Therefore, $$c^2 = \frac{a^4}{b^2} \Rightarrow c = \frac{a^2}{b}$$ Also, $b = ce$. Thus, $$c = \frac{b}{e}$$ $$\frac{b}{c} = \frac{a^2}{b}$$ This implies: $$e = \frac{b^2}{a^2} = 1 - e^2$$ Therefore, $$e^2 + e - 1 = 0$$ Solving for $e$, $$e = \frac{-1 + \sqrt{5}}{2}$$

Let A = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}. Then the number of bijective functions $f : A \to A$ such that $f(1) + f(2) = 3 - f(3)$ is equal to
Answer: 720
Solution
Given $f(1) + f(2) = 3 - f(3)$. Therefore, $f(1) + f(2) = 3 + f(3) = 3$. The only possibility is: $0 + 1 + 2 = 3$. Therefore, elements $1, 2, 3$ in the domain can be mapped with $0, 1, 2$ only. So the number of bijective functions is $3 \times 5! = 720$.

Answer: 3125
Solution
Let matrix $B = \begin{bmatrix} a & b & c \\ d & e & f \\ g & n & i \end{bmatrix}$. Therefore, $AB = BA$. $$\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} a & b & c \\ d & e & f \\ g & h & i \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} a & b & c \\ d & e & f \\ g & h & i \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$$ $$\begin{bmatrix} d & e & f \\ a & b & c \\ g & h & i \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} b & a & c \\ e & d & f \\ h & g & i \end{bmatrix}$$ This implies $d = b$, $e = a$, $f = c$, $g = h$. Therefore, Matrix $B = \begin{bmatrix} a & b & c \\ b & a & c \\ g & g & i \end{bmatrix}$. Number of ways of selecting $a, b, c, g, i$ is $5 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5 = 5^5 = 3125$. Therefore, the number of matrices $B = 3125$.

Answer: 8
Solution
General term = $^{10}C_R (2x^2)^{10-R} x^{-2R}$. $$\Rightarrow 2^{10-R} \, ^{10}C_R = 180 \ldots \ldots \ldots (1)$$ $\&(10-R)r - 2R = 0$ $$r = \frac{2R}{10-R}$$ $$r = \frac{2(R-10)}{10-R} + \frac{20}{10-R}$$ $$\Rightarrow r = -2 + \frac{20}{10-R} \ldots \ldots (2)$$ $R = 8$ or $5$ reject equation (1) not satisfied. At $R = 8$ $$2^{10-R} \, ^{10}C_R = 180 \Rightarrow r = 8$$ $2^{10-r}\,{}^{10}C_{r}=180$ $\Rightarrow r=8$
Question 29
Maths · Differential Equations · Numerical
Let y = y(x) be the solution of the differential equation $\left( x + 2 \right) e^{\left( \frac{y+1}{x+2} \right)} dx = (x+2) dy$, $y(1) = 1$. If the domain of $y = y(x)$ is an open interval $(\alpha, \beta)$, then $l\alpha + \beta$ is equal to ____.
Answer: 4
Solution
Given $y + 1 = Y \Rightarrow dy = dY$ and $x + 2 = X \Rightarrow dx = dX$. Therefore, $$\left( X e^{\frac{Y}{X}} + Y \right) dX = X dY$$ which implies $$X dY - Y dX = X e^{Y/X} dX$$ leading to $$d \left( \frac{Y}{X} \right) e^{-\frac{Y}{X}} = \frac{dX}{X}$$. Solving, we get $$-e^{-Y/X} = \ell |X| + c$$. For $(3, 2)$, $$-e^{-2/3} = \ell |3| + c$$. Thus, $$-e^{-\frac{t}{x}} = \ln |X| - e^{-\frac{2}{3}} - \ln 3$$. Therefore, $$e^{-\frac{Y}{X}} = e^{2/3} + \ln 3 - \ln |X| > 0$$. This implies $$\ln |X| < e^{2/3} + \ln 3 \rightarrow \lambda$$. Hence, $$\ln x + 2 < e^{\lambda}$$. Therefore, $$-e^{\lambda} < x + 2 < e^{\lambda}$$ which simplifies to $$-e^{\lambda} - 2 < x < e^{\lambda} - 2$$. Let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be such that $$\alpha + \beta = -4 \Rightarrow |\alpha + \beta| = 4$$.
Question 30
Maths · Principle of Mathematical Induction · Numerical
The number of elements in the set $\{ n \in \{ 1, 2, 3, \ldots, 100 \} \mid (11)^n > (10)^n + (9)^n \}$ is ____.
Answer: 96
Solution
Given $11^n > 10^n + 9^n$. This implies $11^n - 9^n > 10^n$. This can be rewritten as $(10 + 1)^n - (10 - 1)^n > 10^n$. Expanding, we have $2\left\{ {^nC_1} \cdot 10^{n-1} + {^nC_3} \cdot 10^{n-3} + {^nC_5} \cdot 10^{n-5} + \cdots \right\} > 10^n$. This simplifies to $2n \cdot 10^{n-1} + 2 \left\{ {^nC_3} \cdot 10^{n-3} + {^nC_5} \cdot 10^{n-5} + \cdots \right\} > 10^n$. ...... (1) For $n = 5$ $10^5 + 2 \left\{ {^5C_3} \cdot 10^2 + {^5C_5} \right\} > 10^5$ (True) For $n = 6, 7, 8, \ldots 100$ $2n \cdot 10^{n-1} > 10^n$ This implies $2n \cdot 10^{n-1} + 2 \left\{ {^nC_3} \cdot 10^{n-3} + {^nC_5} \cdot 10^{n-5} + \cdots \right\} > 10^n$ Thus, $11^n - 9^n > 10^n$ for $n = 5, 6, 7, \ldots 100$ For $n = 4$, Inequality (1) is not satisfied $\Rightarrow$ Inequality does not hold good for $n = 1, 2, 3, 4$ So, required number of elements $= 96$

$T_0$ is the time period of a simple pendulum at a place. If the length of the pendulum is reduced to $\frac{1}{16}$ times of its initial value, the modified time period is:
$T_0$
$8\pi T_0$
$4\, T_0$
$\frac{1}{4}\, T_0$
Answer: (d)
Solution
Given $T_0 = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{\ell}{g}}$. New time period $T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{\ell/16}{g}} = \frac{2\pi}{4} \sqrt{\frac{\ell}{g}}$. Therefore, $T = \frac{T_0}{4}$.
Question 36
Physics · Ray Optics and Optical Instruments · Single correct
A ray of light passes from a denser medium to a rarer medium at an angle of incidence $i$. The reflected and refracted rays make an angle of $90^\circ$ with each other. The angle of reflection and refraction are respectively $r$ and $r'$. The critical angle is given by:
$\sin^{-1}(\cot r)$
$\tan^{-1}(\sin i)$
$\sin^{-1}(\tan r')$
$\sin^{-1}(\tan r)$
Answer: (d)
Solution
Given $r + r' + 90^\circ = 180^\circ$, we have $r' = 90 - r = 90 - i$. $n_1 \sin i = n_2 \sin r' = n_2 \sin(90 - i)$ $n_1 \sin i = n_2 \cos i \implies \tan i = \frac{n_2}{n_1}$ Now $\sin C = \frac{n_2}{n_1} = \tan i$ $\implies C = \sin^{-1}(\tan i) = \sin^{-1}(\tan r)$

The sphere has the greatest and the ring has the least velocity of the centre of mass at the bottom of the inclined plane.
The ring has the greatest and the cylinder has the least velocity of the centre of mass at the bottom of the inclined plane.
All of them will have same velocity.
The cylinder has the greatest and the sphere has the least velocity of the centre of mass at the bottom of the inclined plane.
Answer: (a)
Solution
The acceleration is given by $$a = \frac{g \sin \theta}{1 + \frac{I}{mR^2}}$$ where $I$ is the moment of inertia. Comparing the moments of inertia, we have $$I_{ring} > I_{solid cylinder} > I_{solid sphere}$$ This implies $$a_{ring} < a_{solid cylinder} < a_{solid sphere}$$ Therefore, the velocities are $$v_{ring} < v_{solid cylinder} < v_{solid sphere}$$

The motion of a mass on a spring, with spring constant $K$ is as shown in figure. The equation of motion is given by $x(t) = A \sin \omega t + B \cos \omega t$ with $\omega = \sqrt{\frac{K}{m}}$ Suppose that at time $t = 0$, the position of mass is $x(0)$ and velocity $v(0)$, then its displacement can also be represented as $x(t) = C \cos(\omega t - \phi)$, where $C$ and $\phi$ are:
Given $x = A \sin \omega t + B \cos \omega t$. The velocity $v = \frac{dx}{dt} = A \omega \cos \omega t - B \omega \sin \omega t$. At $t = 0$, $x(0) = B$ and $v(0) = A \omega$. Therefore, $x = A \sin \omega t + B \sin (\omega t + 90^\circ)$. The net amplitude $A_{net} = \sqrt{A^2 + B^2}$. The tangent of angle $\alpha$ is $\tan \alpha = \frac{B}{A} \Rightarrow \cot \alpha = \frac{A}{B}$. Thus, $x = \sqrt{A^2 + B^2} \sin (\omega t + \alpha)$. Also, $x = \sqrt{A^2 + B^2} \cos (\omega t - (90^\circ - \alpha))$. Therefore, $x = C \cos (\omega t - \phi)$. This implies $C = \sqrt{A^2 + B^2}$. The expression for $C$ is $C = \sqrt{\frac{[v(0)]^2}{\omega^2} + [x(0)]^2}$. The phase $\phi = 90^\circ - \alpha$. Since $\tan \alpha = \cos \alpha = \frac{A}{B}$, it follows that $\tan \phi = \frac{v(0)}{x(0) \cdot \omega}$. Thus, $\phi = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{v(0)}{x(0) \cdot \omega} \right)$.

A ray of light passing through a prism ($\mu = \sqrt{3}$) suffers minimum deviation. It is found that the angle of incidence is double the angle of refraction within the prism. Then, the angle of prism is ____ (in degrees)
Answer: 60
Solution
At minimum deviation $r_1 = r_2 = \frac{A}{2}$. Also given $i = 2r_1 = A$. Now $\sin i = \sqrt{3} \sin r_1$. $\sin A = \sqrt{3} \sin \frac{A}{2}$. Therefore, $2 \sin \frac{A}{2} \cos \frac{A}{2} = \sqrt{3} \sin \frac{A}{2}$. This implies $\cos \frac{A}{2} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \Rightarrow \frac{A}{2} = 30^\circ$. Hence, $A = 60^\circ$.
