Answer: (c)
Solution
Put $\ln x = t \implies \frac{1}{x} \, dx = dt$. $$I = \int_2^4 e^{(t^2+1)^{-1}} \left( e^{(t^2+1)^{-1}} + e^{((6-t)^2+1)^{-1}} \right) \, dt (i)$$ $$I = \int_2^4 e^{((6-t)^2+1)^{-1}} \left( e^{((6-t)^2+1)^{-1}} + e^{(t^2+1)^{-1}} \right) \, dt (ii)$$ Using $\int_a^b f(x) \, dx = \int_a^b f(a+b-x) \, dx$. Adding (i) and (ii) gives $$2I = \int \, dt \implies I = 1$$

Let $I(x) = \int \dfrac{dx}{(x-11)^{\frac{11}{13}}(x+15)^{\frac{15}{13}}}$. If $I(37) - I(24) = \dfrac{1}{4}\left(\dfrac{1}{b^{\frac{1}{13}}} - \dfrac{1}{c^{\frac{1}{13}}}\right)$, $b, c \in \mathbb{N}$, then $3(b+c)$ is equal to
Maths · Continuity and Differentiability · Single correct
If the function $$f(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{2}{x} \{ \sin(k_1 + 1)x + \sin(k_2 - 1)x \}, & x 0 \end{cases}$$ is continuous at $x = 0$, then $k_1^2 + k_2^2$ is equal to
If the line $3x - 2y + 12 = 0$ intersects the parabola $4y = 3x^2$ at the points $A$ and $B$, then at the vertex of the parabola, the line segment $AB$ subtends an angle equal to
The equations are given as $3x - 2y + 12 = 0$ and $4y = 3x^2$. Therefore, $2(3x + 12) = 3x^2$. This implies $x^2 - 2x - 8 = 0$. Solving for $x$, we get $x = -2, 4$. The slopes are $m_{OA} = -3/2$ and $m_{OB} = 3$. The tangent of the angle $\theta$ is given by $$\tan \theta = \left( \frac{-3/2 - 3}{1 - 9/2} \right) = \frac{9}{7}.$$ Therefore, $\theta = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{9}{7} \right)$ (angle will be acute).
Question 5
Maths · Differential Equations · Single correct
Let a curve $y = f(x)$ pass through the points $(0, 5)$ and $(\log_e 2, k)$. If the curve satisfies the differential equation $2(3 + y)e^{2x}dx - (7 + e^{2x})dy = 0$, then $k$ is equal to

16
Answer: (c)
Solution
Given $\($ $\frac{dy}{dx}$ = $\frac{2(3+y) \cdot e^{2x}}{7+e^{2x}}$ $\)$. Rewriting, $\($ $\frac{dy}{dx}$ - $\frac{2y e^{2x}}{7+e^{2x}}$ = $\frac{6 \cdot e^{2x}}{7+e^{2x}}$ $\)$. The integrating factor (I.F.) is given by $$ I.F. = e^{-\int \frac{2e^{2x}}{7+e^{2x}} \, dx} $$ which simplifies to $$ e^{-\ln(7+e^{2x})} = \frac{1}{7+e^{2x}}. $$ Multiplying through by the integrating factor, we have $$ y \cdot \frac{1}{7+e^{2x}} = \int \frac{6e^{2x}}{(7+e^{2x})^2} \, dx. $$ Solving the integral, $$ \frac{y}{7+e^{2x}} = \frac{-3}{7+e^{2x}} + C. $$ Given $\($ y(0) = 5 $\)$, $$ \frac{5}{8} = \frac{-3}{8} + C $$ which gives $\($ C = 1 $\)$. Thus, $$ y = -3 + 7 + e^{2x}. $$ Simplifying, $$ y = e^{2x} + 4. $$ Therefore, $\($ k = 8 $\)$.
Question 6
Maths · Relations and Functions · Single correct
Let $f(x) = \log_{e} x$ and $g(x) = \frac{x^4 - 2x^3 + 3x^2 - 2x + 2}{2x^2 - 2x + 1}$. Then the domain of $f \circ g$ is
$[0, \infty)$
$[1, \infty)$
$(0, \infty)$
$\mathbb{R}$
Answer: (d)
Solution
Given $f(g(x)) = \ln \left( \frac{x^4 - 2x^3 + 3x^2 - 2x + 2}{2x^2 - 2x + 1} \right)$. Since $2x^2 - 2x + 1 > 0$ for all $x \in \mathbb{R}$, $(-2)^2 - 4(2) 0 \forall x \in \mathbb{R}$$ Therefore, $g(x) > 0 \forall x \in \mathbb{R}$. Thus, $\ln f((x)), f(x) > 0 \forall x \in \mathbb{R}$. Hence, $x \in \mathbb{R}$ is the domain.
Question 7

Let the arc $AC$ of a circle subtend a right angle at the centre $O$. If the point $B$ on the arc $AC$, divides the arc $AC$ such that $$ \frac{\text{length of arc } AB}{\text{length of arc } BC} = \frac{1}{5}, $$ and $$ \overrightarrow{OC} = \alpha\overrightarrow{OA} + \beta\overrightarrow{OB}, $$ then $$ \alpha = \sqrt{2}(\sqrt{3}-1)\beta $$ is equal to

Let $P$ be the foot of the perpendicular from the point $Q(10, -3, -1)$ on the line $\frac{x-3}{7} = \frac{y-2}{-1} = \frac{z+1}{-2}$. Then the area of the right angled triangle $PQR$, where $R$ is the point $(3, -2, 1)$, is
9$\sqrt{15}$
$\sqrt{30}$
8$\sqrt{15}$
3$\sqrt{30}$
Answer: (d)
Solution
Given the points Q(10, -3, -1), P($\alpha$, $\beta$, $\gamma$) = (10, 1, -3), and R(3, -2, 1), we have the equations: $$\frac{x - 3}{7} = \frac{y - 2}{-1} = \frac{z + 1}{-2} = \lambda$$ This implies: $$7\lambda + 3, -\lambda + 2, -2\lambda - 1$$ The direction ratios of QP are: $$7\lambda - 7, -\lambda + 5, -2\lambda$$ Now, $$(7\lambda - 7) \cdot 7 - (-\lambda + 5) \cdot (2\lambda) \cdot 2 = 0$$ Solving gives: $$54\lambda - 54 = 0 \Rightarrow \lambda = 1$$ Therefore, $P = (10, 1, -3)$. The vector $\overrightarrow{PQ} = -4\hat{j} + 2\hat{k}$ and $\overrightarrow{PR} = -7\hat{i} - 3\hat{j} + 4\hat{k}$. The area is given by: $$Area = \left| \begin{array}{ccc} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ 0 & -4 & 2 \\ -7 & -3 & 4 \end{array} \right| = 3\sqrt{30}$$

Answer: (b)
Solution
Given $A = \{1, 2, 3, 4\}$. For the relation to be reflexive, $R = \{(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 3)\}$. Minimum elements added will be $(1, 1), (2, 2), (4, 4), (2, 1), (3, 2), (3, 1), (1, 3)$. Therefore, the minimum number of elements $= 7$.

36000
37000
34000
35000
Answer: (a)
Solution
Total words = 8! Total words in which vowels are together = 6! $\times$ 3! words in which all vowels are not together $$= 8! - 6! \times 3!$$ $$= 6![56 - 6]$$ $$= 720 \times 50$$ $$= 36000$$
Question 13
Maths · Straight Lines and Pair of Straight Lines · Single correct

48
44
40
Answer: (c)
Solution
The median is given by the formula: $$ median = \ell + \left( \frac{N}{2} - F \right) \frac{h}{f} $$ Substituting the given values: $$ = 12 + \left( \frac{N}{2} - 18 \right) \frac{6}{12} = 14 $$ This implies: $$ \left( \frac{N}{2} - 18 \right) \times 6 = 2 $$ Solving for $N$: $$ \frac{N}{2} - 18 = 4 \implies N = 44 $$
Question 17

Let the position vectors of the vertices $A$, $B$ and $C$ of a tetrahedron $ABCD$ be $\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + \hat{k}$, $\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} - 2\hat{k}$ and $2\hat{i} + \hat{j} - \hat{k}$ respectively. The altitude from the vertex $D$ to the opposite face $ABC$ meets the median line segment through $A$ of the triangle $ABC$ at the point $E$. If the length of $AD$ is $\frac{\sqrt{110}}{3}$ and the volume of the tetrahedron is $\frac{\sqrt{805}}{6\sqrt{2}}$, then the position vector of $E$ is
If $A$, $B$, and $\left( adj \left( A^{-1} \right) + adj \left( B^{-1} \right) \right)$ are non-singular matrices of same order, then the inverse of $A \left( adj \left( A^{-1} \right) + adj \left( B^{-1} \right) \right)^{-1} B$, is equal to
Given the expression: $$\left[ A \left( adj \left( A^{-1} \right) + adj \left( B^{-1} \right) \right) \cdot B \right]^{-1}$$ We have: $$B^{-1} \cdot \left( adj \left( A^{-1} \right) + adj \left( B^{-1} \right) \right) \cdot A^{-1}$$ This expands to: $$B^{-1} adj \left( A^{-1} \right) A^{-1} + B^{-1} \left( adj \left( B^{-1} \right) \right) \cdot A^{-1}$$ Which simplifies to: $$B^{-1} \left| A^{-1} \right| I + \left| B^{-1} \right| IA^{-1}$$ Further simplifying: $$\frac{B^{-1}}{|A|} + \frac{A^{-1}}{|B|}$$ This leads to: $$\frac{adj B}{|B||A|} + \frac{adj A}{|A||B|}$$ Finally, we have: $$= \frac{1}{|A||B|} (adj B + adj A)$$
Question 19
Maths · Determinants · Single correct
If the system of equations $$(\lambda - 1)x + (\lambda - 4)y + \lambda z = 5$$ $$\lambda x + (\lambda - 1)y + (\lambda - 4)z = 7$$ $$(\lambda + 1)x + (\lambda + 2)y - (\lambda + 2)z = 9$$ has infinitely many solutions, then $\lambda^2 + \lambda$ is equal to

Question 21
Maths · Applications of Integrals · Numerical
If the area of the larger portion bounded between the curves $x^2 + y^2 = 25$ and $y = |x - 1|$ is $\frac{1}{4}(b\pi + c)$, $b, c \in \mathbb{N}$, then $b + c$ is equal to
Let the circle $C$ touch the line $x - y + 1 = 0$, have the centre on the positive $x$-axis, and cut off a chord of length $\frac{4}{\sqrt{13}}$ along the line $-3x + 2y = 1$. Let $H$ be the hyperbola $\frac{x^2}{\alpha^2} - \frac{y^2}{\beta^2} = 1$, whose one of the foci is the centre of $C$ and the length of the transverse axis is the diameter of $C$. Then $2\alpha^2 + 3\beta^2$ is equal to
Answer: 19
Solution
Given $r = \left| \frac{a+1}{\sqrt{2}} \right| \Rightarrow (a+1)^2 = 2r^2$. Also $\left( \frac{3a-1}{\sqrt{13}} \right)^2 + \left( \frac{2}{\sqrt{13}} \right)^2 = r^2$. Therefore, $\[$ $\left$( $\frac{3a-1}{\sqrt{13}}$ $\right$)^2 + $\frac{4}{13}$ = $\frac{(a+1)^2}{2}$ $\]$ which simplifies to $\[$ 5a^2 - 14a - 3 = 0 $\]$ Thus, $a = -\frac{1}{5}, 3$. Since $a \neq -\frac{1}{5}$, it follows that $r = 2\sqrt{2}$. One focus of $\frac{x^2}{\alpha^2} - \frac{y^2}{\beta^2} = 1$ is $(3,0)$. Therefore, $\alpha e = 3$ and $2\alpha = 4\sqrt{2}$. This implies $\alpha = 2\sqrt{2} \Rightarrow \alpha^2 = 8$. Then, $\[$ $\alpha$^2 $\left$[ 1 + $\frac{\beta^2}{\alpha^2}$ $\right$] = 9 $\]$ which gives $\alpha^2 + \beta^2 = 9$. Therefore, $\beta^2 = 1$. Thus, $2\alpha^2 + 3\beta^2 = 19$.
Question 24
Maths · Applications of Derivatives · Numerical
If the set of all values of $a$, for which the equation $5x^3 - 15x - a = 0$ has three distinct real roots, is the interval $(\alpha, \beta)$, then $\beta - 2\alpha$ is equal to ____
Answer: 30
Solution
Given $5x^3 - 15x - a = 0$. We have $f(x) = 5x^3 - 15x$. Rewriting $f(x)$, we get $f(x) = 15x^2 - 15 = 15(x - 1)(x + 1)$. From the graph, $a \in (-10, 10)$. Let $\alpha = -10$ and $\beta = 10$. Then $\beta - 2\alpha = 10 + 20 = 30$.
Question 25
Maths · Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations · Numerical
If the equation $a(b-c)x^2 + b(c-a)x + c(a-b) = 0$ has equal roots, where $a + c = 15$ and $b = \frac{36}{5}$, then $a^2 + c^2$ is equal to
Answer: 117
Solution
Given $a(b-c)x^2 + b(c-a)x + c(a-b) = 0$. Since $x = 1$ is a root, the other root is $1$. Therefore, $\alpha + \beta = -\frac{b(c-a)}{a(b-c)} = 2$. This implies $-bc + ab = 2ab - 2ac$. Thus, $2ac = ab + bc$. Rearranging gives $2ac = b(a+c)$. Therefore, $2ac = 15b \ldots (1)$. Substituting $2ac = 15 \left(\frac{36}{5}\right) = 108$. Hence, $ac = 54$. Given $a + c = 15$, we have $a^2 + c^2 + 2ac = 225$. Therefore, $a^2 + c^2 = 225 - 108 = 117$.

Solution
Given $\($ $\lambda$ = $\frac{h}{p}$ = $\frac{6.63 \times 10^{-34}}{10^{-30} \times 2.21 \times 10^6}$ $\)$. This simplifies to $\($ 3 $\times$ 10^{-10} $\,$ $\mathrm{m}$ $\)$. Hence particle will behave as x-ray.

A spherical surface of radius of curvature $R$, separates air from glass (refractive index $= 1.5$). The centre of curvature is in the glass medium. A point object $' O '$ placed in air on the optic axis of the surface, so that its real image is formed at $' I '$ inside glass. The line $OI$ intersects the spherical surface at $P$ and $PO = PI$. The distance $PO$ equals to
$5 \, R$
$3 \, R$
$1.5 \, R$
$2 \, R$
Answer: (a)
Solution
Given $\mu_1 = 1$ for air and $\mu_2 = 1.5$ for glass. PO $= u = -x$ PI $= v = x$ PO $= PI$ Using the lens formula: $$\frac{\mu_2}{v} - \frac{\mu_1}{u} = \frac{\mu_2 - \mu_1}{R}$$ Substitute the values: $$\frac{1.5}{x} + \frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{2R}$$ Simplifying: $$\frac{5}{2x} = \frac{1}{2R}$$ Therefore, $$X = 5R$$

A radioactive nucleus $n_2$ has 3 times the decay constant as compared to the decay constant of another radioactive nucleus $n_1$. If initial number of both nuclei are the same, what is the ratio of number of nuclei of $n_2$ to the number of nuclei of $n_1$, after one half-life of $n_1$ ?
1/8
8
4
1/4
Answer: (d)
Solution
Given $N_2 = N_0 e^{-3\lambda t}$ and $N_1 = N_0 e^{-\lambda t}$. We have $\frac{N_2}{N_1} = e^{-2\lambda t}$. The half-life of $N$ is $t = \frac{\ln 2}{\lambda}$. Therefore, $t = \frac{\ln 2}{\lambda}$. We have $\frac{N_0}{2} = N_0 e^{-\lambda t}$, so $\lambda t = \ln 2$. Thus, $t = \frac{\ln 2}{\lambda}$. Therefore, $e^{-2\lambda \frac{\ln 2}{\lambda}} = \frac{N_2}{N_1} = \frac{1}{4}$.

A solid sphere of mass 'm' and radius 'r' is allowed to roll without slipping from the highest point of an inclined plane of length 'L' and makes an angle $30^\circ$ with the horizontal. The speed of the particle at the bottom of the plane is $v_1$. If the angle of inclination is increased to $45^\circ$ while keeping $L$ constant. Then the new speed of the sphere at the bottom of the plane is $v_2$. The ratio $v_1^2 : v_2^2$ is
1 : $\sqrt{2}$
1 : $\sqrt{3}$
1 : 3
1 : 2
Answer: (a)
Solution
Using WET, $W_g = k_f - k_i$. $MgL \sin \theta = k_f - k_i$. Kinetic energy in pure rolling is $\frac{1}{2} m V_{cm}^2 + \frac{1}{2} I_{cm} \omega^2$. $$= \frac{1}{2} m V^2 + \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{2}{5} m R^2 \frac{V^2}{R^2}$$ $$= \frac{7}{10} m V^2$$ $$mgL \sin \theta = \frac{7}{10} m V_f^2 - 0$$ $$V_f^2 \propto \sin \theta$$ $$\left( \frac{V_1}{V_2} \right)^2 = \frac{\sin \theta_1}{\sin \theta_2} = \frac{\sin 30^\circ}{\sin 45^\circ} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$$

Given a thin convex lens (refractive index $\mu_2$), kept in a liquid (refractive index $\mu_1$, $\mu_1 < \mu_2$) having radii of curvatures $|R_1|$ and $|R_2|$. Its second surface is silver polished. Where should an object be placed on the optic axis so that a real and inverted image is formed at the same place?
Given the equation for equivalent focal length: $$\frac{1}{f_{eq}} = \frac{2}{f_L} - \frac{1}{f_m}$$ where $$f_m = -\frac{|R_2|}{2}$$ We have: $$\frac{1}{f_L} = \left(\frac{\mu_2}{\mu_1} - 1\right) \left(\frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2}\right)$$ Substituting into the equation for $f_{eq}$: $$\frac{1}{f_{eq}} = 2 \left(\frac{\mu_2 - \mu_1}{\mu_1} \left(\frac{R_1 + R_2}{R_1 R_2}\right) + \frac{2}{R_2}\right)$$ Simplifying further: $$= 2 \left[\frac{(\mu_2 - \mu_1)(R_1 + R_2) + \mu_1 R_1}{R_2 \mu_1 R_1}\right]$$ $$= \frac{2[\mu_2 R_1 + \mu_2 R_2 - \mu_1 R_2]}{R_2 \mu_1 R_1}$$ For the same size of image, we have: $$u = 2f$$ Thus, $$u = \frac{\mu_1 R_1 R_2}{\mu_2 R_1 + \mu_2 R_2 - \mu_1 R_2}$$

The expression $C(1 - \alpha)$ implies: $$C = 10^{-3}$$ The concentrations at equilibrium are: $$C\alpha = 10^{-5}$$ Thus, $1 - \alpha = 1$. Given, $\mathrm{pH} = 9$, therefore $\mathrm{pOH} = 5$ which implies $[\mathrm{OH}^-] = 10^{-5} \, \mathrm{M}$. Now, the base dissociation constant $K_b$ is given by: $$K_b = \frac{[\mathrm{C_2H_5NH_3^+}][\mathrm{OH}^-]}{[\mathrm{C_2H_5NH_2}]}$$ Substituting the values: $$\Rightarrow K_b = \frac{10^{-5} \times 10^{-5}}{10^{-3}} = 10^{-7}$$

Consider the following sequence of reactions to produce the major product (A). The molar mass of product (A) is $\underline{\hspace{1cm}}\,\mathrm{g\,mol^{-1}}$. (Given molar mass in $\mathrm{gmol^{-1}}$ of $\mathrm{C : 12, H : 1, O : 16, Br : 80, N : 14, P : 31}$)
Answer: 171
Solution
The reaction sequence starts with the nitration of toluene to form a nitrotoluene derivative. Bromination occurs at the ortho position relative to the methyl group, resulting in the formation of a bromo-nitrotoluene. Reduction of the nitro group to an amino group is achieved using Sn and HCl. The amino group is then converted to a diazonium salt using NaNO2 and HCl. Finally, the diazonium group is replaced by hydrogen using hypophosphorous acid (H3PO2), yielding the final product. The molar mass of the product $\mathrm{C_7H_7Br}$ (A) is 171 g mol$^{-1}$.

The standard free energy change for this reaction at $25^\circ \mathrm{C}$ in $\mathrm{J \, mol^{-1}}$ is \_\_\_ (Nearest integer)
Answer: 2
Solution
Given $\Delta H^\circ_{rxn} = 55 \, kJ/mol$, $T = 298 \, K$ and $\Delta S^\circ_{rxn} = 175 \, J/mol$. The change in Gibbs free energy is given by $$\Delta G^\circ_{rxn} = \Delta H^\circ_{rxn} - T \Delta S^\circ_{rxn}$$ Substituting the values, $$\Rightarrow \Delta G^\circ_{rxn} = 55000 \, J/mol - 298 \times 175 \, J/mol$$ Calculating further, $$\Rightarrow \Delta G^\circ_{rxn} = 55000 - 52150$$ Finally, $$\Rightarrow \Delta G^\circ_{rxn} = 2850 \, J/mol$$
