Question 1:

Let d be the distance of the point of intersection of the lines: (x + 6)/3 = y/2 = (z + 1)/1 and (x − 7)/4 = (y − 9)/3 = (z − 4)/2 and the point (7, 8, 9). Then d2 + 6 is equal to:

  1. 72
  2. 69
  3. 75
  4. 78
Correct Answer: (3) 75
view Solution

By solving the system of equations and finding the distance from the point (7, 8, 9), we calculate d2 + 6 = 75.

The intersection point is obtained by solving the two line equations simultaneously. Using the distance formula, we find the distance d. Adding 6 to the square of the distance, we confirm the value as 75.


Question 2:

Let a rectangle ABCD of sides 2 and 4 be inscribed in another rectangle PQRS such that the vertices of the rectangle ABCD lie on the sides of the rectangle PQRS. Let a and b be the sides of the rectangle PQRS when its area is maximum. Then (a + b)2 is equal to:

  1. 72
  2. 60
  3. 80
  4. 64
Correct Answer: (1) 72
view Solution

To maximize the area, we solve for the optimal dimensions of a and b, resulting in (a + b)2 = 72.

Maximizing the area involves determining the dimensions of PQRS such that the sum of the sides squared is maximized while keeping the rectangle ABCD inscribed. Calculations yield (a + b)2 = 72.


Question 3:

Let two straight lines drawn from the origin O intersect the line 3x + 4y = 12 at the points P and Q such that △OPQ is an isosceles triangle and ∠POQ = 90°. If I = OP2 + PQ2 + OQ2, then the greatest integer less than or equal to I is:

  1. 44
  2. 48
  3. 46
  4. 42
Correct Answer: (3) 46
view Solution

Using the geometry of the isosceles triangle and calculating the distances, we find I ≈ 46.

The geometry of △OPQ with a right angle and the isosceles condition allows us to calculate the lengths OP, PQ, and OQ using the given equation of the line. Summing their squares gives the approximate value of I as 46.



Question 4:

If y = y(x) is the solution of the differential equation: dy / dx + 2y = sin(2x), y(0) = 3 / 4, then y(π / 8) is equal to:

  1. e^−π / 8
  2. e^−π / 4
  3. e^π / 4
  4. e^π / 8
Correct Answer: (2) e^−π / 4
view Solution

By solving the differential equation using the integrating factor method, we find that y(π / 8) = e^−π / 4.

Using the integrating factor \( IF = e^{2x} \), the solution becomes \( y(x) = e^{-2x} \left(\int e^{2x} \sin(2x) \, dx + C \right) \). Solving and applying the initial condition y(0) = 3/4 gives \( y(\pi / 8) = e^{-\pi / 4} \).


Question 5:

For the function: f(x) = sin x + 3x − 2π(x2 + x), where x ∈ [0, π / 2], consider the following two statements:

(I) f is increasing in [0, π / 2].

(II) f′ is decreasing in [0, π / 2].

  1. Only (I) is true.
  2. Only (II) is true.
  3. Neither (I) nor (II) is true.
  4. Both (I) and (II) are true.
Correct Answer: (4) Both (I) and (II) are true
view Solution

Both statements are correct, as f is increasing and its derivative f′ is decreasing over the interval [0, π / 2].

Analyzing f'(x) = cos(x) + 3 - 4π(x + 1), it is evident that f'(x) > 0 over the interval, indicating f(x) is increasing. Additionally, f''(x) = -sin(x) - 4π confirms that f'(x) is decreasing.


Question 6:

If the system of equations:

11x + y + λz = -5,

2x + 3y + 5z = 3,

8x − 19y − 39z = μ

has infinitely many solutions, then λ4 − μ is equal to:

  1. 49
  2. 45
  3. 47
  4. 51
Correct Answer: (3) 47
view Solution

By solving the system of equations using the condition for infinitely many solutions (determinant must be zero), we find that λ4 − μ = 47.

The determinant of the coefficient matrix is set to zero for infinitely many solutions. Using this, λ and μ are related such that λ4 − μ = 47.


Question 7:

Let A = {1, 3, 7, 9, 11} and B = {2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12}. Then the total number of one-one maps f: A → B, such that f(1) + f(3) = 14, is:

  1. 180
  2. 120
  3. 480
  4. 240
Correct Answer: (4) 240
view Solution

We use the condition f(1) + f(3) = 14 to restrict the choices for f(1) and f(3), then count the valid one-one mappings for the remaining elements, resulting in 240.

The pairs for f(1) and f(3) are determined such that their sum is 14. For each pair, the remaining three elements are mapped one-to-one to the remaining elements of B, yielding 240 mappings.


Question 8:   
If the function

f(x) = (sin(3x) + α sin(x) - β cos(3x)) / x³

is continuous at x = 0, then f(0) is equal to:

  1. 2
  2. -2
  3. 4
  4. -4
Correct Answer: (4) -4
view Solution

For the function to be continuous at x = 0, we need to find the limit as x → 0, leading to f(0) = -4.

By evaluating the limit, we determine that the continuity condition requires α and β to satisfy specific constraints, leading to f(0) = -4.


Question 9:

The integral

∫₀^(π/4) (136 sin(x)) / (3 sin(x) + 5 cos(x)) dx

is equal to:

  1. 3π - 50 logₑ(2) + 20 logₑ(5)
  2. 3π - 25 logₑ(2) + 10 logₑ(5)
  3. 3π - 10 logₑ(2√2) + 10 logₑ(5)
  4. 3π - 30 logₑ(2) + 20 logₑ(5)
Correct Answer: (1) 3π - 50 logₑ(2) + 20 logₑ(5)
view Solution

By performing the integration using standard techniques, the result simplifies to the given expression.

Using substitution and simplification, the integral evaluates to 3π - 50 logₑ(2) + 20 logₑ(5).


Question 10.

The coefficients a, b, c in the quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0 are chosen from the set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}. The probability of this equation having repeated roots is:

  1. 3/256
  2. 1/128
  3. 1/64
  4. 3/128
Correct Answer: (3) 1/64
view Solution

For a quadratic equation to have repeated roots, the discriminant must be zero. By calculating the probability, we find the answer is 1/64.

The discriminant condition, Δ = b² - 4ac = 0, is satisfied for specific combinations of a, b, c, leading to the given probability.


Question 11.

Let A and B be two square matrices of order 3 such that |A| = 3 and |B| = 2. Then:

Aᵀ A (adj(2A))⁻¹ (adj(4B)) (adj(AB))⁻¹ A Aᵀ

is equal to:

  1. 64
  2. 81
  3. 32
  4. 108
Correct Answer: (1) 64
view Solution

By applying determinant properties and adjugates, the expression simplifies to 64.

The calculation involves determinant properties such as |adj(A)| = |A|ⁿ⁻¹ and determinant multiplication.


Question 12.

Let a circle C of radius 1 and closer to the origin be such that the lines passing through the point (3, 2) and parallel to the coordinate axes touch it. Then the shortest distance of the circle C from the point (5, 5) is:

  1. 2√2
  2. 5
  3. 4√2
  4. 4
Correct Answer: (4) 4
view Solution

The distance between the point (5, 5) and the circle is calculated by finding the distance to the center of the circle and subtracting the radius.

Finding the coordinates of the circle’s center and computing the Euclidean distance gives 4.


Question 13.

Let the line 2x + 3y - k = 0, k > 0, intersect the x-axis and y-axis at the points A and B, respectively. If the equation of the circle having the line segment AB as a diameter is:

x² + y² - 3x - 2y = 0

and the length of the latus rectum of the ellipse:

x² + 9y² = k²

is m/n, where m and n are coprime, then 2m + n is equal to:

  1. 10
  2. 11
  3. 13
  4. 12
Correct Answer: (2) 11
view Solution

By solving for the equation of the circle and the ellipse, we calculate the values of m and n, yielding 2m + n = 11.

The calculations involve determining the geometric relationships between the circle and the ellipse, solving for k, and simplifying the latus rectum formula.


Question 14.

Consider the following two statements:

Statement I: For any two non-zero complex numbers z₁, z₂,

(|z₁| + |z₂|) |z₁| / (|z₁| + |z₂|) ≤ 2(|z₁| + |z₂|).

Statement II: If x, y, z are three distinct complex numbers and a, b, c are three positive real numbers such that:

a / |y - z| = b / |z - x| = c / |x - y|,

then:

a² / |y - z| + b² / |z - x| + c² / |x - y| = 1.

Between the above two statements:

  1. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
  2. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
  3. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
  4. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
Correct Answer: (3) Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
view Solution

Statement I is correct by the triangle inequality, but Statement II is incorrect based on the condition for the equation of complex numbers.

Using the modulus properties for complex numbers, Statement I holds. However, Statement II fails as the given condition does not satisfy the required sum equal to 1.


Question 15.

Suppose θ ∈ [0, π/4] is a solution of 4 cos(θ) - 3 sin(θ) = 1. Then cos(θ) is equal to:

  1. (4/3)√6 - 2
  2. 6 - √6
  3. 6 + √6
  4. (4/3)√6 + 2
Correct Answer: (1) (4/3)√6 - 2
view Solution

By solving the trigonometric equation, we find that cos(θ) = (4/3)√6 - 2.

Using trigonometric identities and substitution, the solution of the equation yields cos(θ) = (4/3)√6 - 2.


Question 16.

If

∑(1/√(1 + √2) + 1/√(2 + √3) + ... + 1/√(99 + √100)) = m,

∑(1/(1·2) + 1/(2·3) + ... + 1/(99·100)) = n,

then the point (m, n) lies on the line:

  1. 11(x - 1) - 100(y - 2) = 0
  2. 11(x - 2) - 100(y - 1) = 0
  3. 11(x - 1) - 100y = 0
  4. 11x - 100y = 0
Correct Answer: (4) 11x - 100y = 0

By simplifying the given sums and determining the values of m and n, we find that the point (m, n) lies on the line 11x - 100y = 0.

The calculations involve approximating the sums and verifying the linear relationship.


Question 17.

Let f(x) = x⁵ + 2x³ + 3x + 1, x ∈ ℝ, and g(x) be a function such that g(f(x)) = x for all x ∈ ℝ. Then:

g(7) · g'(7) is equal to:

  1. 7
  2. 42
  3. 1
  4. 14

By differentiating the given functions and applying the chain rule, we find that g(7) · g'(7) = 14.

Using g(f(x)) = x, the derivative g'(f(x))f'(x) = 1 is used to find g(7) and g'(7).

  2. 24√29
  3. 24√7
  4. 48√7

then 4λ + 9μ is equal to:

  1. 13
  2. 4
  3. 5
  4. 6
Correct Answer: (4) 6
view Solution

Using the condition for perpendicular lines and solving for the values of λ and μ, we find that 4λ + 9μ = 6.

The dot product of direction vectors of the two lines is set to zero to solve for λ and μ.

By solving the equation for a and summing over the set S, we find that 72 ∑(a ∈ S) a = 18.

The solution involves solving for each a in S and summing the contributions, then multiplying by 72.
