Answer: (a)
Solution
Solve line PQ and QR. Point Q $\left( \frac{1-c}{m-1}, \frac{1-c}{m-1} + 1 \right)$. $$m_{2H} = \frac{1-c}{m-1} + 2 = \frac{1-c+2m-2}{1-c-3m+3} = \frac{-1}{4}$$ $$m_{2H} = \frac{m-1}{1-c} + 2 = \frac{1-c+2m-2}{1-c-3m+3} = \frac{-1}{4} \cdots (1)$$ Therefore, $m_{PH} = \frac{5}{0} \to \infty$. Thus, the slope of line QR $(m) = 0$. Put the value of $m$ in equation (1): $$\frac{1-c-2}{1-c+3} = \frac{-1}{4} \Rightarrow c = 0$$ So $m - c = 0$. Ans.

Answer: (d)
Solution
Given $y = \frac{5-x}{x^2 - 3x + 2}$. $yx^2 - 3xy + 2y + x - 5 = 0$ $yz^2 + (-3y + 1)x + (2y - 5) = 0$ Case I: If $y = 0$ (Accepted) $$\Rightarrow x = 5$$ Case II: If $y \neq 0$ $D \geq 0$ $$(-3y + 1)^2 - 4(y)(2y - 5) \geq 0$$ $$9y^2 + 1 - 6y - 8y^2 + 20y \geq 0$$ $$y^2 + 14y + 1 \geq 0$$ $$(y + 7)^2 - 48 \geq 0$$ $$|y + 7| \geq 4\sqrt{3}$$ $$\Rightarrow y + 7 \geq 4\sqrt{3} or y + 7 \leq -4\sqrt{3}$$ $$\Rightarrow y \geq 4\sqrt{3} - 7 or y \leq -4\sqrt{3} - 7$$ From Case I and Case II $$y \in (-\infty, -4\sqrt{3} - 7] \cup [4\sqrt{3} - 7, \infty)$$ So $\alpha = -4\sqrt{3} - 7$ $\beta = 4\sqrt{3} - 7$ $$\Rightarrow a^2 + b^2 = (-4\sqrt{3} - 7)^2 + (4\sqrt{3} - 7)^2$$ $$= 2(48 + 49)$$ $$= 194$$
Question 5
Maths · Probability · Single correct
A bag contains 19 unbiased coins and one coin with head on both sides. One coin drawn at random is tossed and head turns up. If the probability that the drawn coin was unbiased, is $\frac{m}{n}$, $\gcd(m, n) = 1$, then $n^2 - m^2$ is equal to:
\quad 80
\quad 60
\quad 72
\quad 64
Answer: (a)
Solution
The probability of getting a head, $P(H)$, is calculated as follows: $$P(H) = \frac{19}{20} \times \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{20} \times 1$$ This accounts for the selection of an unbiased coin and the occurrence of a head, as well as the selection of a biased coin where a head always occurs. The required probability is: $$\frac{19}{20} \times \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{20} \times 1 = \frac{19}{21}$$ Thus, $m = 19$ and $n = 21$. Therefore, $$n^2 - m^2 = 441 - 361 = 80$$
Question 6
Maths · Probability (Advanced) · Single correct
Let a random variable X take values 0, 1, 2, 3 with $P(X = 0) = P(X = 1) = p$, $P(X = 2) = P(X = 3)$ and $E \left( X^2 \right) = 2E(X)$. Then the value of $8p - 1$ is :
0
2
1
3
Answer: (b)
Solution
Given $2p + 2q = \frac{1}{2}$, we have $p + q$. The expected value $E(x^2) = \sum_{i=0}^{3} x_i^2 p(x_i) = 0 \cdot p + 1 \cdot p + 4 \cdot q + 9q = p + 13q$. The expected value $E(x) = \sum_{i=0}^{3} x_i p(x_i) = 0 \cdot p + 1 \cdot p + 2q + 3q = p + 5q$. Thus, $p + 13q = 2(p + 5q)$. Solving gives $p = 3q$. So, $q = \frac{1}{8}$ and $p = \frac{3}{8}$. Therefore, $8p - 1 = 2$. Option (2).
Question 7
Maths · Applications of Integrals · Single correct

50
49
46
47
Answer: (a)
Solution
The area $A$ is given by the integral: $$A = \int_{-2}^{1} (x + 7 - x^2 - 1) \, dx + \int_{1}^{2} (11 + 3x - x^2 - 1) \, dx$$ Evaluating the first integral: $$= \left[ \frac{x^2}{2} + 6x - \frac{x^3}{3} \right]_{-2}^{1}$$ Evaluating the second integral: $$+ \left[ 10x - \frac{3x^2}{2} - \frac{x^3}{3} \right]_{1}^{2}$$ Simplifying gives: $$= \frac{50}{3} \implies 3A = 50$$ Therefore, the correct option is Option (1).
Question 8
Maths · Applications of Derivatives · Single correct
Let $f : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ be a polynomial function of degree four having extreme values at $x = 4$ and $x = 5$. If $\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{f(x)}{x^2} = 5$, then $f'(2)$ is equal to:
12
10
8
14
Answer: (b)
Solution
Given \[ \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{f(x)}{x^2} = 5 \] and \[ \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{ax^4 + bx^3 + cx^2 + dx + e}{x^2} = 5. \] We have $c = 5$ and $d = e = 0$. Therefore, \[ f(x) = ax^4 + bx^3 + 5x^2. \] The derivative is \[ f'(x) = 4ax^3 + 3bx^2 + 10x = x(4ax^2 + 3bx + 10). \] This function has extrema at $x = 4$ and $x = 5$. Hence, \[ f'(4) = 0 \quad \text{and} \quad f'(5) = 0. \] Solving these equations gives \[ a = \frac{1}{8}, \qquad b = -\frac{3}{2}. \] Therefore, \[ f(2) = \frac{1}{8}\times 2^4 - \frac{3}{2}\times 2^3 + 5\times 2^2. \] Calculating, \[ f(2) = 2 - 12 + 20 = 10.

Let the length of a latus rectum of an ellipse $\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ be 10. If its eccentricity is the minimum value of the function $f(t) = t^2 + t + \frac{11}{12}$, $t \in \mathbb{R}$, then $a^2 + b^2$ is equal to:
125
126
120
115
Answer: (b)
Solution
Length of LR = $\frac{2b^2}{a}$ = 10 $\Rightarrow$ 5a = b^2 $\ldots$ (1) f(t) = t^2 + t + $\frac{11}{12}$ $\frac{df(t)}{dt}$ = 2t + 1 = 0 $\Rightarrow$ t = -$\frac{1}{2}$ Min value of f(t) = $\left$(-$\frac{1}{2}$$\right$)^2 + $\frac{11}{12}$ = $\frac{1}{4}$ - $\frac{1}{2}$ + $\frac{11}{12}$ = $\frac{3 - 6 + 11}{12}$ = $\frac{8}{12}$ = $\frac{2}{3}$ = e e^2 = $\frac{1 - b^2}{a^2}$ $\Rightarrow$ $\frac{4}{9}$ = $\frac{1 - b^2}{a^2}$ $\Rightarrow$ $\frac{b^2}{a^2}$ = $\frac{1 - 4}{a}$ = $\frac{5}{a}$ $\Rightarrow$ b^2 = $\frac{5a^2}{a}$ $\ldots$ (2) From (1) $\&$ (2) 5a = $\frac{5a^2}{a}$ $\Rightarrow$ a = 9, b = $\sqrt{45}$ = 3$\sqrt{5}$ $\therefore$ a^2 + b^2 = 81 + 45 = 126
Question 13
Maths · Differential Equations · Single correct
Let $y = y(x)$ be the solution of the differential equation $(x^2 + 1) y' - 2xy = (x^4 + 2x^2 + 1) \cos x, y(0) = 1$. Then $\int_{-3}^{3} y(x) \, dx$ is:
24
36
30
18
Answer: (a)
Solution
Given $(x^2 + 1) \frac{dy}{dx} - 2xy = (x^4 + 2x^2 + 1) \cos x$. Rewriting, we have: $$\frac{dy}{dx} - \left( \frac{2x}{x^2 + 1} \right) y = \frac{(x^2 + 1)^2 \cos x}{cx^2 + 1} = (x^2 + 1) \cos x$$ This is a linear differential equation. Let $P = \frac{-2x}{x^2 + 1}$ and $Q = (x^2 + 1) \cos x$. The integrating factor (I.F.) is given by: $$I.F. = e^{\int P dx} = e^{\int \frac{-2x}{x^2 + 1} dx} = \frac{1}{x^2 + 1}$$ Thus, we have: $$y \cdot \frac{1}{x^2 + 1} = \int (x^2 + 1) \cos x \cdot \frac{1}{x^2 + 1} dx$$ This simplifies to: $$y = \sin x + c \implies y \cos = 1 \implies c = 1$$ Therefore, $x^2 + 1$ gives: $$y = (x^2 + 1) (\sin x + 1)$$ Now, integrating from $-3$ to $3$: $$\int_{-3}^{3} y dx = \int_{-3}^{3} (x^2 + 1) (\sin x + 1) dx$$ This becomes: $$dx = \int_{-3}^{3} x^2 \sin x + x^2 \sin x + 1 dx$$ Which simplifies to: $$\implies \int_{-3}^{3} x^2 \sin x dx + \int_{-3}^{3} x^2 dx + \int_{-3}^{3} \sin x dx + \int_{-3}^{3} 1 dx$$ Evaluating these integrals gives: $$= 0 + 18 + 0 + 6 = 24$$
Question 14

Answer: (b)
Solution
Line is $\perp$ to 2 line $\Rightarrow$ line will be parallel to $\left( i + a \hat{j} + b \hat{k} \right) \times \left( -b \hat{i} + a \hat{j} + 5 \hat{k} \right)$. Parallel vector along the required line is $\hat{i} (5a - ab) - \hat{j} \left( b^2 + 5 \right) + \hat{k} (a + ab)$. Dr's of required line $\alpha (5a - ab), - \left( b^2 + 5 \right), (a + ab)$. Also Dr's of required line $\alpha - 2, d, -4$. $$\frac{5a - ab}{-2} = \frac{-\left( b^2 + 5 \right)}{d} = \frac{a + ab}{-4} \ldots (1)$$ Also point $\left( 0, -\frac{1}{2}, 0 \right)$ will lie on $\frac{x - 1}{-2} = \frac{y + 4}{d} = \frac{z - c}{-4}$. $$\frac{0 - 1}{-2} = \frac{-\frac{1}{2} + 4}{d} = \frac{0 - c}{-4} \Rightarrow d = 7, c = 2$$ From (1) $\frac{5a - ab}{-2} = \frac{-b^2 - 5}{7} = \frac{a + ab}{-4}$. $$\frac{5a - ab}{-2} = \frac{a + ab}{-4}; \frac{-b^2 - 5}{7} = \frac{a + ab}{-4}$$ $$-20a + 4ab = -2a - 2ab$$ $$4b^2 + 20 = 70 + 7ab$$ $$18a = 6ab$$ $$b = 3$$ $$36 + 20 = 70 + 21a$$ $$56 = 28a \Rightarrow a = 2$$ $a + b + c + d = 2 + 3 + 2 + 7 = 14$

143
Answer: (b)
Solution
Given the line $L_1$: $\($ $\frac{x-1}{1}$ = $\frac{y-2}{1}$ = $\frac{z-0}{2}$ $\)$. Let $Q(\lambda + 1, \lambda + 2, \lambda)$. The vector $\overrightarrow{PQ} = (\lambda - 4, \lambda - 1, \lambda + 3)$. The dot product $\overrightarrow{PQ} \cdot \mathbf{m} = 0$. Solving $\lambda - 4 + \lambda + 1 + \lambda + 3 = 0$ gives $3\lambda = 0$, so $\lambda = 0$. Therefore, $Q(1, 2, 0)$. For line $L_2$: $\($ $\frac{x-2}{1}$ = $\frac{y-0}{1}$ = $\frac{z-1}{2}$ $\)$. Let $R(\mu + 2, \mu, \mu + 1)$. The vector $\overrightarrow{PR} = (\mu - 3, \mu - 1, \mu + 4)$. The dot product $\overrightarrow{PR} \cdot \mathbf{n} = 0$. Solving $\mu - 3 + \mu - 1 + \mu + 4 = 0$ gives $\mu = 0$. Therefore, $R(2, 0, 1)$. The area of $\triangle PQR(A)$ is $\frac{1}{2} |\overrightarrow{PQ} \times \overrightarrow{PR}|$. Calculating $A = \frac{1}{2} |(-4\mathbf{i} + \mathbf{j} + 3\mathbf{k}) \times (-3\mathbf{i} + \mathbf{j} + 4\mathbf{k})|$. The cross product is $\frac{1}{2} |7(\mathbf{i} + \mathbf{j} + \mathbf{k})|$. The determinant is: $$\begin{vmatrix} \mathbf{i} & \mathbf{j} & \mathbf{k} \\ -4 & 1 & 3 \\ -3 & 1 & 4 \end{vmatrix} = 7\mathbf{i} + 7\mathbf{j} + 7\mathbf{k}$$ Thus, $4A^2 = 49 \times 3 = 147$.

Answer: (c)
Solution
For (I) $x < 2$: $$-x^2 + 2x - 3x + 9 + 1 = 0$$ This simplifies to: $$x^2 + x - 10 = 0$$ The solutions are: $$x = \frac{-1 + \sqrt{41}}{2}, \frac{-1 - \sqrt{41}}{2}$$ This case is not valid. For (II) $2 \leq x < 3$: $$x^2 - 2x - 3x + 9 + 1 = 0$$ This simplifies to: $$x^2 - 5x + 10 = 0$$ The discriminant $D < 0$, so there are no real roots. For (III) $x \geq 3$: $$x^2 - 2x + 3x - 9 + 2 = 0$$ This simplifies to: $$x^2 + x - 8 = 0$$ The solutions are: $$x = \frac{-1 + \sqrt{32}}{2}, \frac{-1 - \sqrt{32}}{2}$$ This case is also not valid. There is 1 real root.

If the product of the focal distances of a point $(\alpha, 2\sqrt{5})$ on the hyperbola is $p$, then $4p$ is equal to
Answer: 189
Solution
Equation of hyperbola is $\frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$. Directrix: $x = \frac{-9}{5}$ and corresponding foci $(-5, 0)$. $$\Rightarrow -\frac{a}{e} = -\frac{9}{5} and -ae = -5$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{9e^2}{5} = 5 \Rightarrow e = \sqrt{\frac{25}{9}} = \frac{5}{3} \Rightarrow a = 3$$ $$\therefore b^2 = a^2 (e^2 - 1) = 9 \left( \frac{25}{9} - 1 \right) = 16$$ Hyperbola $\frac{x^2}{9} - \frac{y^2}{16} = 1$. $(\alpha, 2\sqrt{5})$ lie on it. $$\Rightarrow \frac{\alpha^2}{9} - \frac{20}{16} = 1 \Rightarrow \alpha^2 = \frac{36}{16} \times 9 = \frac{81}{4}$$ Product for distance of $(x_1, y_1)$ from the two foci $$= (ex_1 + a) |ex_1 - a|$$ $$= e^2 x_1^2 - a^2$$ For $(\alpha, 2\sqrt{5}) \Rightarrow P = \frac{25}{9} \cdot \frac{81}{4} - 9 = \frac{189}{4}$$ $$4P = 189$$

k = $\frac{1}{t}$ $\ln$ $\frac{P_\infty}{(P_\infty - P_t)}$
Answer: (c)
Solution
For the reaction $A_{(g)} \rightarrow B_{(g)} + C_{(g)}$, the initial conditions and changes in pressure are given as follows: At $t = 0$, the pressure is $P^o$ for $A_{(g)}$, and $0$ for $B_{(g)}$ and $C_{(g)}$. At $t = t$, the pressure is $P^o - x$ for $A_{(g)}$, and $x$ for $B_{(g)}$ and $C_{(g)}$. At $t = \infty$, the pressure is $0$ for $A_{(g)}$, and $P^o$ for $B_{(g)}$ and $C_{(g)}$. The total pressure at time $t$ is given by: $$P_t = P^o + x \Rightarrow x = P_t - P^o = \frac{P_\infty}{2}$$ At equilibrium, $P_\infty = 2P^o \Rightarrow P^o = \frac{P_\infty}{2}$. The rate constant $k$ is given by: $$k = \frac{1}{t} \ln \frac{P^o}{P^o - x}$$ Substituting the expression for $x$: $$k = \frac{1}{t} \ln \frac{P_\infty}{2(P_\infty - P_t)}$$
