Question 26

Maths · Vector Algebra · Numerical

Let $\vec{b} = \hat{i} + \hat{j} + \lambda \hat{k}, \lambda \in \mathbb{R}$. If $\vec{a}$ is a vector such that $$\vec{a} \times \vec{b} = 13 \hat{i} - \hat{j} - 4 \hat{k}$$ and $$\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} + 21 = 0,$$ then $$(\vec{b} - \vec{a}) \cdot (\hat{k} - \hat{j}) + (\vec{b} + \vec{a}) \cdot (\hat{i} - \hat{k})$$ is equal to

Answer: 14

Solution

Given $\left( \vec{a} \times \vec{b} \right) \cdot \vec{b} = 0$. Therefore, $13 - 1 - 4\lambda = 0 \Rightarrow \lambda = 3$. Thus, $\vec{b} = \hat{i} + \hat{j} + 3\hat{k} \Rightarrow \vec{a} \times \vec{b} = 13\hat{i} - \hat{j} - 4\hat{k}$. Then, $\left( \vec{a} \times \vec{b} \right) \times \vec{b} = \left( 13\hat{i} - \hat{j} - 4\hat{k} \right) \times \left( \hat{i} + \hat{j} + 3\hat{k} \right)$. This gives $-2\vec{b} - 1\vec{a} = \hat{i} - 43\hat{j} + 14\hat{k}$. Therefore, $\vec{a} = -2\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - 7\hat{k}$. Now $\left( \vec{b} - \vec{a} \right) \cdot \left( \hat{k} - \hat{j} \right) + \left( \vec{b} + \vec{a} \right) \cdot \left( \hat{i} - \hat{k} \right) = 14$.

Let $f(x) = \left| (x-1)(x^2 - 2x - 3) \right| + x - 3, \ x \in \mathbb{R}$. If $m$ and $M$ are respectively the number of points of local minimum and local maximum of $f$ in the interval $(0, 4)$, then $m + M$ is equal to ____

Answer: 3

Solution

Given $$f(x) = \begin{cases} \left( x^2 - 1 \right)(x-3) + (x-3), & x \in (0,1) \cup (3,4) \\ -\left( x^2 - 1 \right)(x-3) + (x-3), & x \in [1,3] \end{cases}$$ Differentiating, we have $$f'(x) = \begin{cases} 3x^2 - 6x, & x \in (0,1) \cup (3,4) \\ -3x^2 + 6x + 2, & x \in (1,3) \end{cases}$$ The function $f(x)$ is non-derivable at $x = 1$ and $x = 3$. Also, $f'(x) = 0$ at $x = 1 + \frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}$, which implies $m + M = 3$.

Answer: 85

Solution

Given $e^2 = 1 + \frac{b^2}{a^2} = \frac{25}{16} \implies \frac{b^2}{a^2} = \frac{9}{16}$ $\ldots$ (1) $A \left( \frac{8}{\sqrt{5}}, \frac{12}{5} \right)$ satisfies $\frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ $$\implies \frac{64}{5a^2} - \frac{144}{25b^2} = 1 \ldots (2)$$ Solving (1) $\&$ (2) $b = \frac{6}{5}$, $a = \frac{8}{5}$ Normal at $A$ is $\frac{\sqrt{5}a^2 x}{8} + \frac{5b^2 y}{12} = a^2 + b^2$ Comparing it $8\sqrt{5}x + \beta y = \lambda$ Gives $\lambda = 100$, $\beta = 15$ $\lambda - \beta = 85$

Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R. Assertion A : Two identical balls A and B thrown with same velocity 'u' at two different angles with horizontal attained the same range R. If A and B reached the maximum height $h_1$ and $h_2$ respectively, then $R = 4\sqrt{h_1 h_2}$ Reason R: Product of said heights. $$h_1 h_2 = \left( \frac{u^2 \sin^2 \theta}{2g} \right) \cdot \left( \frac{u^2 \cos^2 \theta}{2g} \right)$$ Choose the CORRECT answer :

  1. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
  2. Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
  3. A is true but R is false
  4. A is false but R is true

Answer: (a)

Solution

For same range $\theta_1 + \theta_2 = 90^0$. $$h_1 = \frac{u^2 \sin^2 \theta_1}{2g} h_2 = \frac{u^2 \sin^2 \theta_2}{2g}$$ $$h_1 h_2 = \frac{u^2 \sin^2 \theta_1}{2g} \times \frac{u^2 \sin^2 \theta_2}{2g}$$ $$\theta_2 = 90 - \theta_1$$ $$h_1 h_2 = \frac{u^2 \sin^2 \theta_1}{2g} \cdot \frac{u^2 \cos^2 \theta_1}{2g}$$ $$= \left[ \frac{u^2 \sin \theta_1 \cos \theta_1}{2g} \right]^2$$ $$= \left[ \frac{u^2 \sin \theta_1 \cos \theta_1}{2g} \times \frac{2}{2} \right]^2 = \frac{R^2}{16}$$ $$R = 4 \sqrt{h_1 h_2}$$ So $R$ is correct explanation of A.

Two buses P and Q start from a point at the same time and move in a straight line and their positions are represented by $X_P(t) = \alpha t + \beta t^2$ and $X_Q(t) = ft - t^2$. At what time, both the buses have same velocity?

  1. $\frac{\alpha - f}{1 + \beta}$
  2. $\frac{\alpha + f}{2(\beta - 1)}$
  3. $\frac{\alpha + f}{2(1 + \beta)}$
  4. $\frac{f - \alpha}{2(1 + \beta)}$

Answer: (d)

Solution

Given $$X_P(t) = \alpha t + \beta t^2$$ $$X_Q = ft - t^2$$ The velocities are $$V_P(t) = \alpha + 2\beta t$$ $$V_Q = f - 2t$$ Setting the velocities equal, $$V_P = V_Q$$ This gives $$\alpha + 2\beta t = f - 2t$$ Solving for $t$, $$t = \frac{f - \alpha}{2\beta + 2}$$

A disc with a flat small bottom beaker placed on it at a distance $R$ from its center is revolving about an axis passing through the center and perpendicular to its plane with an angular velocity $\omega$. The coefficient of static friction between the bottom of the beaker and the surface of the disc is $\mu$. The beaker will revolve with the disc if:

  1. $R \leq \frac{\mu g}{2\omega^2}$
  2. $R \leq \frac{\mu g}{\omega^2}$
  3. $R \geq \frac{\mu g}{2\omega^2}$
  4. $R \geq \frac{\mu g}{\omega^2}$

Answer: (b)

Solution

For the beaker to move with the disc, the static friction force is given by $$f_s = m \omega^2 R$$ We know that $$f_s \leq f_{s_{max}}$$ Therefore, $$m \omega^2 R \leq \mu m g$$ Simplifying, we get $$R \leq \frac{\mu g}{\omega^2}$$

  2. ( 1 + $\frac{2}{f}$ )
  3. ( 1 + $\frac{f}{2}$ )
  4. ( 1 + $\frac{1}{f}$ )

Answer: (b)

Solution

Molar heat capacity at constant volume $C_V = \frac{fR}{2}$ where $f$ is degree of freedom. Molar heat capacity at constant pressure can be written as $C_P = R + C_V = R + \frac{fR}{2} = \left(1 + \frac{f}{2}\right) R$. So $$\frac{C_P}{C_V} = 1 + \frac{2}{f}$$

Given below are two statements: Statement – I : Susceptibilities of paramagnetic and ferromagnetic substances increase with decrease in temperature. Statement – II: Diamagnetism is a result of orbital motions of electrons developing magnetic moments opposite to the applied magnetic field. Choose the CORRECT answer from the options given below : -

  1. Both statement – I and statement -II are true.
  2. Both statement – I and Statement – II are false.
  3. Statement – I is true but statement – II is false.
  4. Statement-I is false but Statement-II is true.

Answer: (a)

Solution

According to Curie's law, magnetic susceptibility is inversely proportional to temperature for a fixed value of external magnetic field i.e. $\chi = \frac{C}{T}$. The same is applicable for ferromagnet and the relation is given as $\chi = \frac{C}{T - T_C}$ ($T_C$ is Curie temperature). Diamagnetism is due to non-cooperative behaviour of orbiting electrons when exposed to external magnetic field. Hence option (A).
