$2^{2n-1} - 2^{n-1} \binom{n}{n-1}$
$2^{2n} - \frac{1}{2} \cdot 2^n \binom{n}{n}$
$2^{n-1} + 2^{n-1} \binom{n}{n}$
Answer: (a)
Solution
The expression is given by $$\sum_{i,j=0, \, i \neq j}^{n} \binom{n}{i} \binom{n}{j}$$ This can be rewritten as $$= \sum_{i=0}^{n} \binom{n}{i} \cdot \sum_{j=0}^{n} \binom{n}{j} - \sum_{i=j=0}^{n} \left( \binom{n}{i} \right)^2$$ Simplifying further, $$= (2^n)(2^n) - 2^n \binom{n}{n}$$ Finally, $$= 2^{2n} - 2^n \binom{n}{n}$$

$4$
Answer: (d)
Solution
Given $\log_e 2 \frac{d}{dx} \left( \log_{\cos x} \csc x \right)$. Let, $y = \log_{\cos x} \csc x$. Then, $y = -\frac{\ln(\sin x)}{\ln(\cos x)}$. The derivative is $$\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{[\cot x \cdot \ln(\cos x) + \tan x \cdot \ln(\sin x)]}{(\ln(\cos x))^2}$$ Evaluating at $x = \frac{\pi}{4}$, $$\left. \frac{dy}{dx} \right|_{x = \frac{\pi}{4}} = \frac{4}{\ln 2}$$ Now, $$\Rightarrow \log_e 2 \cdot \frac{4}{\ln 2} = 4$$

Question 10
Maths · Differential Equations · Single correct
Let the solution curve $y = f(x)$ of the differential equation $\frac{dy}{dx} + \frac{xy}{x^2 - 1} = \frac{x^4 + 2x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}, x \in (-1,1)$ pass through the origin. Then $\int_{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}^{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}} f(x) \, dx$ is equal to

$\frac{\pi}{3} - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}$
$\frac{\pi}{6} - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}$
$\frac{\pi}{6} - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
Answer: (b)
Solution
Given $\($ $\frac{dy}{dx}$ + $\frac{xy}{x^2 - 1}$ = $\frac{x^4 + 2x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}$ $\)$. The integrating factor (I.F) is given by $$ I.F = e^{\int \frac{x}{x^2 - 1} \, dx} $$ which simplifies to $$ I.F = \sqrt{1-x^2} $$ Solution of the differential equation: $\($ y $\cdot$ $\sqrt{1-x^2}$ = $\int$ $\frac{x^4 + 2x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}$ $\,$ dx $\)$ This simplifies to $$ y \cdot \sqrt{1-x^2} = \int (x^4 + 2x) \, dx $$ Integrating, we get $$ y \cdot \sqrt{1-x^2} = \frac{x^5}{5} + x^2 + C $$ At $\($ x = 0, y = 0 $\)$, we find $\($ C = 0 $\)$. Thus, $$ y = \frac{x^5}{5\sqrt{1-x^2}} + \frac{x^2}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} $$ Now, $$ \int_{-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}^{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}} f(x) \, dx = \int_{-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}^{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}} \frac{x^5}{5\sqrt{1-x^2}} \, dx + \int_{-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}^{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}} \frac{x^2}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} \, dx $$ This simplifies to $$ \int_{-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}^{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}} f(x) \, dx = 0 + 2 \int_{0}^{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}} \frac{x^2}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} \, dx $$ Finally, $$ \int_{-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}^{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}} f(x) \, dx = \frac{\pi}{2} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} $$

Answer: 112
Solution
Given sets $A = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7\}$ and $B = \{3, 6, 7, 9\}$. The total number of subsets of $A$ is $2^7 = 128$. The intersection $C \cap B = \emptyset$ when set $C$ contains the elements $1, 2, 4, 5$. Therefore, $S = \{C \subseteq A; C \cap B \neq \emptyset\}$. The total is calculated as Total $- (C \cap B = \emptyset) = 128 - 2^4 = 112$.
Question 22
Maths · Three Dimensional Geometry · Numerical
The largest value of $a$, for which the perpendicular distance of the plane containing the lines $\vec{r} = (\hat{i} + \hat{j}) + \lambda (\hat{i} + a\hat{j} - \hat{k})$ and $\vec{r} = (\hat{i} + \hat{j}) + \mu (-\hat{i} + \hat{j} - a\hat{k})$ from the point $(2,1,4)$ is $\sqrt{3}$, is ________.
Answer: 2
Solution
Given $\vec{r} = (\hat{i} + \hat{j}) + \lambda (\hat{i} + a\hat{j} - \hat{k})$ and $\vec{r} = (\hat{i} + \hat{j}) + \mu (-\hat{i} + \hat{j} - a\hat{k})$. The direction ratios of the plane containing these lines is given by the determinant: $$\begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ 1 & a & -1 \\ -1 & 1 & -a \end{vmatrix} = \hat{i}(1 - a^2) - \hat{j}(-a - 1) + \hat{k}(1 + a)$$ Thus, $\vec{n} = (1-a)\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k}$. One point in the plane is $(1, 1, 0)$. Therefore, the equation of the plane is $$(1-a)(x-1) + (y-1) + (z-0) = 0$$ Simplifying, $$(1-a)x + y + z + a - 2 = 0$$ The distance $D$ is given by $$D = \frac{|(1-a)2 + 1 + 4 + a - 2|}{\sqrt{(1-a)^2 + 1 + 1}}$$ This simplifies to $$|5-a| = \sqrt{3} \cdot \sqrt{a^2 - 2a + 3}$$ Solving $a^2 + 2a - 8 = 0$, we find $$a = 2, -4$$ The largest value of $a$ is $2$.

Answer: 3
Solution
Given the equation $2 \sin^2 \theta - \cos 2\theta = 0$. Rewriting, we have $2 \sin^2 \theta - (1 - 2 \sin^2 \theta) = 0$. This implies $$\sin^2 \theta = \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2$$ Therefore, $$\theta = \frac{\pi}{6}, \frac{5\pi}{6}, \frac{7\pi}{6}, \frac{11\pi}{6}$$ Now consider $2 \cos^2 \theta + 3 \sin \theta = 0$. This leads to $$2 \sin^2 \theta - 3 \sin \theta - 2 = 0$$ Thus, $$\sin \theta = -\frac{1}{2}$$ Therefore, $$\theta = \frac{7\pi}{6}, \frac{11\pi}{6}$$ So, the common solution is $$\theta = \frac{7\pi}{6}, \frac{11\pi}{6}$$ Hence, $K = 3$

The plane passing through the line L: $\ell \ x-y+3(1-\ell) \ z = 1$, $x+2y - z = 2$ and perpendicular to the plane $3x+2y+z = 6$ is $3x-8y+7z=4$. If $\theta$ is the acute angle between the line L and the y-axis, then $415 \cos^2 \theta$ is equal to.
Answer: 125
Solution
Given $\mathbf{n}_1 = \ell \hat{\imath} - \hat{\jmath} + 3(1-\ell) \hat{k}$ and $\mathbf{n}_2 = \hat{\imath} + 2 \hat{\jmath} - \hat{k}$. The direction ratio of the line is given by the determinant: $$\begin{vmatrix} \hat{\imath} & \hat{\jmath} & \hat{k} \\ \ell & -1 & 3(1-\ell) \\ 1 & 2 & -1 \end{vmatrix}$$ This simplifies to: $$(6\ell - 5) \hat{\imath} + (3 - 2\ell) \hat{\jmath} + (2\ell + 1) \hat{k}$$ The line $3x - 8y + 7z = 4$ will contain the line $(6\ell - 5) \hat{\imath} + (3 - 2\ell) \hat{\jmath} + (2\ell + 1) \hat{k}$. The normal of $3x - 8y + 7z = 4$ will be perpendicular to the line: $$3(6\ell - 5) + (3 - 2\ell)(-8) + 7(2\ell + 1) = 0$$ Solving gives $\ell = \frac{2}{3}$. Therefore, the direction ratio of the line is: $$\left(-1, \frac{5}{3}, \frac{7}{3}\right)$$ The angle with the $y$-axis is given by: $$\cos \theta = \frac{5/3}{\sqrt{1 + \frac{25}{9} + \frac{49}{9}}}$$ This simplifies to: $$\cos \theta = \frac{5}{\sqrt{83}}$$ Thus, $415 \cos^2 \theta = \frac{25}{83} \times 415 = 125$

Answer: 3
Solution
Given $\($ $\frac{dy}{dx}$ = 2 - e^{-x} $\)$. I.F. = $\($ e^{$\int$ -dx} = e^{-x} $\)$ Therefore, the solution of D.E. $\($ y $\cdot$ e^{-x} = $\int$ (2e^{-x} - e^{-2x}) $\,$ dx $\)$ $\($ $\Rightarrow$ y = -2 + $\frac{e^{-x}}{2}$ + C $\cdot$ e^{x} $\)$ Therefore, $\($ $\lim$_{x $\to$ $\infty$} y $\)$ is finite. $\($ $\therefore$ $\lim$_{x $\to$ $\infty$} $\left$( -2 + $\frac{e^{-x}}{2}$ + C $\cdot$ e^{x} $\right$) $\to$ finite $\)$ This is possible only when $\($ C = 0 $\)$. Therefore, $\($ y = y(x) = -2 + $\frac{e^{-x}}{2}$ $\)$ $\($ $\frac{dy}{dx}$ = -$\frac{1}{2}$ e^{-x} $\)$ $\($ $\left$. $\frac{dy}{dx}$ $\right$|_{x=0} = -$\frac{1}{2}$ = m $\)$, $\($ y(0) = -2 + $\frac{1}{2}$ = -$\frac{3}{2}$ $\)$ Therefore, equation of tangent $\($ a = -3, $\ $b = -$\frac{3}{2}$ $\)$ $\($ a - 4b = -3 + 6 = 3 $\)$

Different A.P.'s are constructed with the first term 100, the last term 199, And integral common differences. The sum of the common differences of all such, A.P's having at least 3 terms and at most 33 terms is.
Answer: 53
Solution
First term $= 100 = a$. Last term $= 199 = \ell$. If 3 terms are $a$, $a + d$, $a + 2d$. $a_n = \ell = a + (n - 1)d$. $n \rightarrow$ number of terms. For $n = 3$, $d_1 = \frac{199 - 100}{2} = \frac{99}{2} \notin \mathbb{I}$. For $n = 4$, $d_2 = \frac{99}{3} = 33 \in \mathbb{I}$. For $n = 10$, $d_3 = \frac{99}{9} = 11 \in \mathbb{I}$. For $n = 12$, $d_4 = \frac{99}{11} = 9 \in \mathbb{I}$. Therefore, $\sum d_i = 33 + 11 + 9 = 53$.

Answer: 50
Solution
Given $A = \begin{bmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{bmatrix}$. Given $A = A^{-1}$. Therefore, $A^2 = A \cdot A^{-1} = I$. $$\begin{bmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$$ Thus, $a^2 + bc = 1 \ldots (1)$ $ab + bd = 0 \ldots (2)$ $ac + cd = 0 \ldots (3)$ $bc + d^2 = 1 \ldots (4)$ (1) - (4) gives $$a^2 - d^2 = 0$$ Therefore, $(a + d) = 0$ or $a - d = 0$. Case - I $a + d = 0 \Rightarrow (a, d) = (-1, 1), (0, 0), (1, -1)$ (a) $(a, d) = (-1, 1)$ Therefore, from equation (1) $1 + bc = 1 \Rightarrow bc = 0$ $b = 0 C = 12$ possibilities $c = 0 b = 12$ possibilities but $(0, 0)$ is repeated Therefore, $2 \times 12 = 24$ $24 - 1$ (repeated) $= 23$ pairs (b) $(a, d) = (1, -1) \Rightarrow bc = 0 \rightarrow 23$ pairs (c) $(a, d) = (0, 0) \Rightarrow bc = 1$ Therefore, $(b, c) = (1, 1)$ and $(-1, -1)$, 2 pairs Case - II $a = d$ from (2) and (3) $$ab + bd = 0 ac + cd = 0$$ $(a, d) = (1, 1), (-1, -1) \rightarrow 2$ pairs Therefore, Total $= 23 + 23 + 2 + 2 = 50$ pairs

A ball of mass 0.15 kg hits the wall with its initial speed of 12 $\mathrm{ms}^{-1}$ and bounces back without changing its initial speed. If the force applied by the wall on the ball during the contact is 100 $\mathrm{N}$, calculate the time duration of the contact of ball with the wall.
0.018 $\mathrm{s}$
0.036 $\mathrm{s}$
0.009 $\mathrm{s}$
0.072 $\mathrm{s}$
Answer: (b)
Solution
The initial momentum $\vec{P}_i = 0.15 \times 12 \left( \hat{i} \right)$. The final momentum $\vec{P}_f = 0.15 \times 12 \left( -\hat{i} \right)$. The change in momentum $|\Delta \vec{P}| = 3.6 \, \mathrm{kg \cdot m/s}$. We have $3.6 = F \Delta t$. Solving for $\Delta t$, we get $3.6 = 100 \, \Delta t$. Therefore, $\Delta t = 0.036 \, \mathrm{sec}$.

A body is projected vertically upwards from the surface of earth with a velocity equal to one third of escape velocity. The maximum height attained by the body will be: (Take radius of earth $= 6400 \, \mathrm{km}$ and $g = 10 \, \mathrm{ms^{-2}}$)
$800\,\mathrm{km}$
$1600\,\mathrm{km}$
$2133\,\mathrm{km}$
$4800\,\mathrm{km}$
Answer: (a)
Solution
The escape velocity is given by $v_e = \sqrt{\frac{2Gm}{R}}$. The equation for energy conservation is: $$\frac{-GMm}{R} + \frac{1}{2}m \frac{v_e^2}{9} = \frac{-GMm}{R+h}$$ Simplifying, we have: $$\frac{GM}{R+h} = \frac{GM}{R} - \frac{v_e^2}{18}$$ Substituting $v_e^2 = \frac{2GM}{R}$, we get: $$\frac{GM}{R+h} = \frac{GM}{R} - \frac{GM}{9R}$$ This simplifies to: $$\frac{GM}{R+h} = \frac{8GM}{9R}$$ Therefore: $$\frac{1}{R+h} = \frac{8}{9R}$$ Solving for $h$, we have: $$9R = 8R + 8h$$ Thus: $$h = \frac{R}{8} \implies \frac{6400}{8} \implies 800 \, \mathrm{km}$$
