Question 1
Maths · Relations and Functions · Single correct
Let $f : \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be defined as $f(x) = x-1$ and $g : \mathbb{R} - \{1, -1\} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be defined as $g(x) = \frac{x^2}{x^2 - 1}$. Then the function fog is :
one-one but not onto function
onto but not one-one function
both one-one and onto function
neither one-one nor onto function
Answer: (d)
Solution
Given $f(x) = x - 1$ and $g(x) = \frac{x^2}{x^2 - 1}$. $f(g(x)) = g(x) - 1$ $$= \frac{x^2}{x^2 - 1} - 1 = \frac{x^2 - x^2 + 1}{x^2 - 1}$$ $f(g(x)) = \frac{1}{x^2 - 1}$; $x \neq \pm 1$, even function. Hence $f(g(x))$ is many one function. Let $y = \frac{1}{x^2 - 1}$. Then $y \cdot x^2 - y = 1$. $$x^2 = \frac{1 + y}{y}$$ $$\left( \frac{1 + y}{y} \right) \geq 0$$ Range: $y \in (-\infty, -1] \cup (0, \infty)$. Hence, Range $\neq$ Co-domain $\Rightarrow f(g(x))$ is into function.
Question 2
Maths · Determinants · Single correct
If the system of equations $\alpha x + y + z = 5$, $x + 2y + 3z = 4$, $x + 3y + 5z = \beta$, has infinitely many solutions, then the ordered pair $(\alpha, \beta)$ is equal to :
If $A = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{\left(3 + (-1)^n\right)^n}$ and $B = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^n}{\left(3 + (-1)^n\right)^n}$, then $\frac{A}{B}$ is equal to :
$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to 0}\frac{\cos(\sin x)-\cos x}{x^4}$ is equal to:
$\frac{1}{3}$
$\frac{1}{4}$
$\frac{1}{6}$
$\frac{1}{12}$
Solution
Given the limit $\lim_{x\to0} \frac{\cos(\sin x)-\cos x}{x^4}$ which is of the form $\frac00$. We rewrite it as $\lim_{x\to0} \frac{ 2\sin\left(\frac{x+\sin x}{2}\right) \sin\left(\frac{x-\sin x}{2}\right) }{x^4}$ This can be expanded to $\lim_{x\to0} 2\left( \frac{ \sin\left(\frac{x+\sin x}{2}\right) }{ \left(\frac{x+\sin x}{2}\right) } \right) \left( \frac{ \sin\left(\frac{x-\sin x}{2}\right) }{ \left(\frac{x-\sin x}{2}\right) } \right) \frac{ \left(\frac{x+\sin x}{2}\right) }{ x^4 } \left( \frac{x-\sin x}{2} \right)$ This simplifies to $\lim_{x\to0} \frac{x^2-\sin^2x}{4x^4}$ which is again of the form $\frac00$. Apply L'Hopital Rule: $\lim_{x\to0} \frac{2x-2\sin x\cos x} {16x^3}$ Again apply L'Hopital rule: $\lim_{x\to0} \frac{2-\cos(2x)} {24x^2}$ This simplifies to $\lim_{x\to0} \frac{2(1-\cos(2x))} {24(2x^2)} \times2$ $\Rightarrow \frac2{24} \times\frac12 \times2$ $\Rightarrow \frac16$

Maths · Applications of Derivatives · Single correct
If $y = y(x)$ is the solution of the differential equation $x \frac{dy}{dx} + 2y = xe^x$, $y(1) = 0$ then the local maximum value of the function $z(x) = x^2 y(x) - e^x$, $x \in \mathbb{R}$ is:
$1 - e$
$0$
$\frac{1}{2}$
$\frac{4}{e} - e$
Answer: (d)
Solution
Given $x \frac{dy}{dx} + 2y = xe^x$. Rewriting, $\frac{dy}{dx} + \frac{2y}{x} = e^x$. The integrating factor (I.F.) is $x^2$. Then $y \cdot x^2 = \int x^2 e^x \, dx$. This equals $\int e^x (x^2 + 2x - 2x - 2 + 2) \, dx$. So, $yx^2 = e^x (x^2 - 2x + 2) + c$. Given $y(1) = 0$, $0 = e(1 + 0) + c$. Thus, $c = -e$. Now, $z(x) = x^2 y(x) - e^x$. This becomes $e^x (x^2 - 2x + 2) - e - e^x$. Simplifying, $= e^x (x - 1)^2 - e$. Differentiating, $\frac{dz}{dx} = e^x \cdot 2(x - 1) + e^x (x - 1)^2 = 0$. This gives $x^x (x - 1) (2 + x - 1) = 0$. Or $e^x (x - 1) (x + 1) = 0$. Thus, $x = -1, 1$. At $x = -1$, there is a local maxima. Then the maximum value is $z(-1) = \frac{4}{e} - e$.
Question 10
Maths · Differential Equations · Single correct
If the solution of the differential equation $$\frac{dy}{dx} + e^x (x^2 - 2)y = (x^2 - 2x)(x^2 - 2)e^{2x}$$ satisfies $$y(0) = 0$$, then the value of $y(2)$ is _______.
-1
1
0
e
Answer: (c)
Solution
I.F. = e^{$\int e^{x^2-2}\,dx$} = e^{$\int e^{x^2-2x+2}\,dx$} = e^{e^{x^2-2x}}. y $\cdot$ e^{e^{x^2-2x}} = $\int e^{e^{x^2-2x}} e^x (x^2-2x)e^x\,dx$. Let $e^{x^2-2x}=t$. So, y $\cdot$ e^{e^{x^2-2x}} = $\int e^t \cdot t\,dt$. $= t\cdot e^t - e^t + c$. At $x=0$, $t=0$. $0\cdot1=0-1+c$ $\Rightarrow c=1$ For $x=2$, $t=0$. $y\cdot1=0-1+1=0$ $y(2)=0$
Question 11

Answer: (b)
Solution
Given $\dfrac{x^2}{16} + \dfrac{y^2}{9} = 1$, equation of tangent to the ellipse is $y = mx \pm \sqrt{a^2m^2 + b^2}$ $y = mx \pm \sqrt{16m^2 + 9}$ $\hfill \ldots\text{(i)}$ $$x^2 + y^2 = 12$$ Equation of tangent to the circle is $y = mx \pm \sqrt{12}\sqrt{1 + m^2}$ $\hfill \ldots\text{(ii)}$ For common tangent, equate eq. (i) and (ii) $$\Rightarrow 16m^2 + 9 = 12(1 + m^2)$$ $$16m^2 - 12m^2 = 3$$ $$4m^2 = 3$$ $$12m^2 = 9$$
Question 12
Maths · Conic Sections · Single correct
The locus of the mid point of the line segment joining the point (4, 3) and the points on the ellipse $x^2 + 2y^2 = 4$ is an ellipse with eccentricity:
$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
$\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}$
$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
$\frac{1}{2}$
Answer: (c)
Solution
Given the equation of the ellipse: $$\frac{x^2}{4} + \frac{y^2}{2} = 1$$ with points P(4,3) and Q $$(2 \cos \theta, \sqrt{2} \sin \theta)$$. Coordinate of D is $$\left( \frac{2 \cos \theta + 4}{2}, \frac{\sqrt{2} \sin \theta + 3}{2} \right) \equiv (h, k)$$. From this, we have: $$\frac{2h - 4}{2} = \cos \theta ....(i)$$ $$\frac{2k - 3}{\sqrt{2}} = \sin \theta ....(ii)$$ Using $$(i)^2 + (ii)^2$$, then we get: $$\left( \frac{2h - 4}{2} \right)^2 + \left( \frac{2k - 3}{\sqrt{2}} \right)^2 = 1 \implies \frac{(x - 2)^2}{1} + \frac{\left( y - \frac{3}{2} \right)^2}{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)} = 1$$ Therefore, the required eccentricity is $$e = \sqrt{\frac{1}{1 - \frac{1}{2}}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$$
Question 13

The point $\($ (8, 3$\sqrt{3}$) $\)$ lies on the hyperbola, then $$ \frac{64}{a^2} - \frac{27}{9} = 1 \implies a^2 = \frac{64}{4} = 16 $$ The equation of the normal at $\($ (8, 3$\sqrt{3}$) $\)$ is: $$ \frac{16x}{8} + \frac{9y}{3\sqrt{3}} = 16 + 9 $$ $$ 2x + \sqrt{3}y = 25 $$ Check options.

$16\sin(20^\circ)\sin(40^\circ)\sin(80^\circ)$ is equal to:
$\sqrt{3}$
2$\sqrt{3}$
3
4$\sqrt{3}$
Answer: (b)
Solution
Given $16 \sin 20^\circ \sin 40^\circ \sin 80^\circ$. This is equal to $16 \sin 40^\circ \sin 20^\circ \sin 80^\circ$. We can rewrite it as $4(4 \sin (60 - 20) \sin (20) \sin (60 + 20))$. This simplifies to $4 \times \sin (3 \times 20^\circ)$. Since $\sin 3\theta = 4 \sin(60 - \theta) \times \sin \theta \times \sin (60 + \theta)$, we have $4 \times \sin 60^\circ$. This equals $4 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = 2\sqrt{3}$.

$\frac{2}{5}$
$\frac{2}{7}$
$\frac{1}{5}$
$\frac{7}{10}$

The charge on capacitor of capacitance 15$\mu$ F in the figure given below is :
60$\mu$ c
130$\mu$ c
260$\mu$ c
585$\mu$ c
Answer: (a)
Solution
The capacitors are in series, so the equivalent capacitance is calculated as follows: $$\frac{1}{C_{eq}} = \frac{1}{10} + \frac{1}{15} + \frac{1}{20} = \frac{12 + 8 + 6}{120} = \frac{26}{120}$$ Thus, the equivalent capacitance is: $$C_{eq} = \frac{60}{13} \, \mu\mathrm{F}$$ The charge on each capacitor is the same because they are in series. Therefore, the charge is: $$Q = \frac{13 \times 60}{13} = 60 \, \mu\mathrm{C}$$

A parallel plate capacitor with plate area A and plate separation $d = 2 \, \mathrm{m}$ has a capacitance of $4 \, \mu \mathrm{F}$. The new capacitance of the system if half of the space between them is filled with a dielectric material of dielectric constant $K = 3$ (as shown in figure) will be:
$2 \, \mu \mathrm{F}$
$32 \, \mu \mathrm{F}$
$6 \, \mu \mathrm{F}$
$8 \, \mu \mathrm{F}$
Answer: (c)
Solution
The original capacitance is given by $C_{original} = \frac{A \varepsilon_0}{d}$. The system is divided into two capacitors $C_1$ and $C_2$ in series. For $C_1$, we have: $$C_1 = \frac{A \varepsilon_0}{d/2} = \frac{2A \varepsilon_0}{d} = C.$$ For $C_2$, we have: $$C_2 = \frac{KA \varepsilon_0}{d/2} = \frac{2KA \varepsilon_0}{d} = \frac{6A \varepsilon_0}{d} = 3C.$$ Since $C_1$ and $C_2$ are in series, the new capacitance $C_{new}$ is given by: $$C_{new} = \frac{C_1 C_2}{C_1 + C_2} = \frac{C \times 3C}{C + 3C} = \frac{3C}{4}.$$ Substituting the values, we get: $$C_{new} = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{2A \varepsilon_0}{d} = \frac{3}{2} \times \frac{A \varepsilon_0}{d}.$$ Therefore, $C_{new} = \frac{3}{2} C_{original}$. Finally, we have: $$\frac{3}{2} \times 4 = 6 \mu F.$$

Answer: (b)
Solution
Let $R$ be the radius of the combined drop and $r$ be the radius of the smaller drop. The volume will remain the same: $$\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 = 64 \times \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$$ Therefore, $R = 4r$. Let $Q = 64q$ where $q$ is the charge of the smaller drop and $Q$ is the charge of the combined drop. The ratio of surface charge densities is given by: $$\frac{\sigma_{bigger}}{\sigma_{smaller}} = \frac{\frac{Q}{4\pi R^2}}{\frac{q}{4\pi r^2}} = \frac{Q}{q} \cdot \frac{r^2}{R^2}$$ Substituting the values, we get: $$= 64 \cdot \frac{r^2}{16r^2} = 4$$ Thus, $$\frac{\sigma_{bigger}}{\sigma_{smaller}} = \frac{4}{1}$$
