If $\alpha$ is a non-real root of the equation $x^6-1=0$,then $\frac{\alpha^2+\alpha^3+\alpha^4+\alpha^5}{\alpha+1} = $
A
$\alpha$
B
$1$
C
$0$
D
$-1$

Solution

(D) The given equation is $x^6-1=0$,which implies $x^6=1$.
Since $\alpha$ is a root,$\alpha^6=1$.
Also,$\alpha \neq 1$ because $\alpha$ is a non-real root (the roots of $x^6-1=0$ are $e^{i2k\pi/6}$ for $k=0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5$,and only $k=0$ gives $x=1$).
We can write the numerator as $\alpha^2(1+\alpha+\alpha^2+\alpha^3)$.
Since $\alpha^6-1 = (\alpha-1)(\alpha^5+\alpha^4+\alpha^3+\alpha^2+\alpha+1) = 0$ and $\alpha \neq 1$,we have $\alpha^5+\alpha^4+\alpha^3+\alpha^2+\alpha+1 = 0$.
This implies $\alpha^5+\alpha^4+\alpha^3+\alpha^2 = -\alpha-1 = -(\alpha+1)$.
Substituting this into the expression: $\frac{-(\alpha+1)}{\alpha+1} = -1$.

If $z=x+iy$ and if the point $P$ in the Argand plane represents $z$,then the locus of $P$ satisfying the equation $|z-3i|+|z+3i|=10$ is
A
Circle with centre $(-3,3)$
B
Hyperbola with eccentricity $\frac{5}{3}$
C
Ellipse with eccentricity $\frac{3}{5}$
D
Ellipse with eccentricity $\frac{4}{5}$

Solution

(C) The given equation is of the form $|z-z_1| + |z-z_2| = 2a$,where $z_1 = 3i$ and $z_2 = -3i$.
This represents an ellipse with foci at $(0, 3)$ and $(0, -3)$.
The distance between the foci is $2ae = |z_1 - z_2| = |3i - (-3i)| = |6i| = 6$.
Given $2a = 10$,so $a = 5$.
Using the relation $2ae = 6$,we get $5e = 3$,which implies $e = \frac{3}{5}$.
Thus,the locus is an ellipse with eccentricity $\frac{3}{5}$.

If $\log _{\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}}\left\{\frac{|z|^2-|z|+1}{2+|z|}\right\}>-2$,then $z$ lies inside
A
a triangle
B
an ellipse
C
a circle
D
a square

Solution

(C) Given that,$\log _{\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}}\left\{\frac{|z|^2-|z|+1}{2+|z|}\right\}>-2$.
Since the base $a = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ satisfies $0 < a < 1$,the inequality reverses when removing the logarithm:
$\frac{|z|^2-|z|+1}{2+|z|} < \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)^{-2}$.
Simplifying the right side: $\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)^{-2} = (\sqrt{3})^2 = 3$.
Thus,$\frac{|z|^2-|z|+1}{2+|z|} < 3$.
Multiplying both sides by $(2+|z|)$ (since $|z| \ge 0$,$2+|z| > 0$):
$|z|^2-|z|+1 < 3(2+|z|)$.
$|z|^2-|z|+1 < 6+3|z|$.
$|z|^2-4|z|-5 < 0$.
Factoring the quadratic: $(|z|-5)(|z|+1) < 0$.
Since $|z| \ge 0$,$|z|+1$ is always positive,so we must have $|z|-5 < 0$,which implies $|z| < 5$.
This represents the interior of a circle with radius $5$ centered at the origin.

The number of different signals which can be given from $7$ different coloured sheets,taking one or more at a time is
A
$127$
B
$5913$
C
$13699$
D
$13700$

Solution

(C) To form a signal,we can choose $1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,$ or $7$ sheets at a time.
Since the order of sheets in a signal matters,we use the formula for permutations: $P(n, r) = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}$.
The total number of signals is the sum of permutations for each case:
$S = P(7, 1) + P(7, 2) + P(7, 3) + P(7, 4) + P(7, 5) + P(7, 6) + P(7, 7)$
$S = 7 + (7 \times 6) + (7 \times 6 \times 5) + (7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4) + (7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3) + (7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2) + (7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1)$
$S = 7 + 42 + 210 + 840 + 2520 + 5040 + 5040$
$S = 13699$

The number of four-digit numbers that can be formed using the digits $1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9$ which are divisible by $3$,when repetition of digits is allowed any number of times,is
A
$2187$
B
$1458$
C
$6561$
D
$2916$

Solution

(A) number is divisible by $3$ if the sum of its digits is divisible by $3$.
Let the four-digit number be $d_1 d_2 d_3 d_4$.
There are $9$ choices for each of the first three digits $(d_1, d_2, d_3)$,which are ${1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}$.
Total ways to choose the first three digits is $9 \times 9 \times 9 = 729$.
Let the sum of the first three digits be $S = d_1 + d_2 + d_3$.
For the whole number to be divisible by $3$,$S + d_4$ must be a multiple of $3$.
For any value of $S$,we check the possible values of $d_4 \in {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}$ such that $S + d_4 \equiv 0 \pmod{3}$.
If $S \equiv 0 \pmod{3}$,then $d_4 \in {3, 6, 9}$ ($3$ choices).
If $S \equiv 1 \pmod{3}$,then $d_4 \in {2, 5, 8}$ ($3$ choices).
If $S \equiv 2 \pmod{3}$,then $d_4 \in {1, 4, 7}$ ($3$ choices).
In all cases,there are exactly $3$ choices for $d_4$.
Therefore,the total number of such four-digit numbers is $729 \times 3 = 2187$.

The number of all four-digit numbers which do not have four distinct digits is
A
$4464$
B
$4848$
C
$4355$
D
$4454$

Solution

(A) The total number of four-digit numbers is $9 \times 10 \times 10 \times 10 = 9000$.
To find the number of four-digit numbers that do not have four distinct digits,we subtract the number of four-digit numbers with all distinct digits from the total.
The number of four-digit numbers with all distinct digits is calculated as follows:
The first digit (thousands place) can be any digit from $1$ to $9$ ($9$ choices).
The second digit can be any of the remaining $9$ digits (including $0$) ($9$ choices).
The third digit can be any of the remaining $8$ digits ($8$ choices).
The fourth digit can be any of the remaining $7$ digits ($7$ choices).
Total numbers with distinct digits = $9 \times 9 \times 8 \times 7 = 4536$.
Therefore,the number of four-digit numbers which do not have four distinct digits = $9000 - 4536 = 4464$.

The number of ways of arranging the letters of the word $BANANA$ so that the two $N$s do not come together is:
A
$60$
B
$80$
C
$40$
D
$120$

Solution

(C) The word $BANANA$ contains $6$ letters: $A, A, A, B, N, N$.
Total arrangements of $BANANA = \frac{6!}{3!2!1!} = \frac{720}{6 \times 2} = 60$.
To find the number of arrangements where the two $N$s do not come together,we subtract the arrangements where the two $N$s are together from the total arrangements.
Treat the two $N$s as a single unit $(NN)$. Now we have $5$ units: $A, A, A, B, (NN)$.
Arrangements with $N$s together $= \frac{5!}{3!1!1!} = \frac{120}{6} = 20$.
Number of ways where $N$s do not come together $= 60 - 20 = 40$.

The number of ways of awarding $9$ scholarships among $3$ students so that each may have $3$ scholarships is
A
$280$
B
$84$
C
$504$
D
$1680$

Solution

(D) To distribute $9$ scholarships among $3$ students such that each student receives $3$ scholarships,we use the concept of multinomial coefficients.
The number of ways is given by the formula:
$\frac{9!}{3! \times 3! \times 3!} = \frac{362880}{6 \times 6 \times 6} = \frac{362880}{216} = 1680$.
Thus,the total number of ways is $1680$.

There are $10$ intermediate stations on a railway line between two particular stations. The number of ways that a train can be made to stop at $3$ of these intermediate stations so that no two of these halting stations are consecutive is:
A
$56$
B
$20$
C
$126$
D
$120$

Solution

(A) Let the $10$ intermediate stations be $S_1, S_2, S_3, \dots, S_{10}$.
We need to select $3$ stations such that no two are consecutive.
This is a classic problem of selecting $r$ objects from $n$ objects arranged in a row such that no two are consecutive,which is given by the formula $^{n-r+1}C_r$.
Here,$n = 10$ and $r = 3$.
Number of ways $= ^{10-3+1}C_3 = ^8C_3$.
Calculating the value: $^8C_3 = \frac{8 \times 7 \times 6}{3 \times 2 \times 1} = 56$.

The number of integers greater than $3000$ that can be formed by using any number of digits from the set $\{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}$ without repetition is:
A
$1630$
B
$1380$
C
$1260$
D
$1200$

Solution

(B) To form integers greater than $3000$ using digits $\{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}$ without repetition,we consider numbers with $4, 5,$ and $6$ digits.
$1$. $4$-digit numbers: The first digit must be $3, 4,$ or $5$ ($3$ choices). The remaining $3$ positions can be filled by the remaining $5$ digits in $P(5, 3) = 5 \times 4 \times 3 = 60$ ways. Total = $3 \times 60 = 180$. However,if the first digit is $3$,the number is $3xyz$. If $x=0$,we have $30yz$,which is $> 3000$. If $x > 0$,it is also $> 3000$. So all $180$ are valid.
$2$. $5$-digit numbers: The first digit cannot be $0$ ($5$ choices: $1, 2, 3, 4, 5$). The remaining $4$ positions can be filled by the remaining $5$ digits in $P(5, 4) = 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 = 120$ ways. Total = $5 \times 120 = 600$.
$3$. $6$-digit numbers: The first digit cannot be $0$ ($5$ choices). The remaining $5$ positions can be filled by the remaining $5$ digits in $P(5, 5) = 5! = 120$ ways. Total = $5 \times 120 = 600$.
Summing these: $180 + 600 + 600 = 1380$.

If the letters of the word "$CAPITAL$" are permuted in all possible ways and the words are arranged in a dictionary order,then the rank of the word "$CAPITAL$" is
A
$802$
B
$803$
C
$720$
D

Solution

(A) The word is $CAPITAL$. The letters in alphabetical order are $A, A, C, I, L, P, T$.
Total letters = $7$. The letter $A$ repeats $2$ times.
Words starting with $A$: The remaining letters are $A, C, I, L, P, T$ ($6$ letters). Number of arrangements = $\frac{6!}{1!} = 720$.
Words starting with $C$:
Next letter is $A$: Remaining letters are $A, I, L, P, T$ ($5$ letters). Number of arrangements = $5! = 120$.
Next letter is $C$ (not possible).
Next letter is $I$: Remaining letters are $A, A, L, P, T$ ($5$ letters). Number of arrangements = $\frac{5!}{2!} = 60$.
Next letter is $L$: Remaining letters are $A, A, I, P, T$ ($5$ letters). Number of arrangements = $\frac{5!}{2!} = 60$.
Next letter is $P$: Remaining letters are $A, A, I, L, T$ ($5$ letters). Number of arrangements = $\frac{5!}{2!} = 60$.
Next letter is $T$: Remaining letters are $A, A, I, L, P$ ($5$ letters). Number of arrangements = $\frac{5!}{2!} = 60$.
Wait,let us re-evaluate:
Alphabetical order: $A, A, C, I, L, P, T$.
Words starting with $A$: $\frac{6!}{1!} = 720$.
Words starting with $C$:
$CA...$: Remaining letters $A, I, L, P, T$.
$CAA...$: $4! = 24$.
$CAI...$: $4! = 24$.
$CAL...$: $4! = 24$.
$CAP...$:
$CAPA...$: $3! = 6$.
$CAPI...$:
$CAPIA...$: $2! = 2$.
$CAPIL...$:
$CAPILA...$: $1! = 1$.
$CAPITAL$: $1$.
Total rank = $720 + 24 + 24 + 24 + 6 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 802$.

The number of different ways of preparing a garland using $6$ distinct white roses and $5$ distinct red roses such that no two red roses come together is
A
$21600$
B
$43200$
C
$86400$
D
$151200$

Solution

(B) First,arrange the $6$ distinct white roses in a circle. The number of ways to arrange $n$ distinct objects in a circle is $(n-1)!$. So,the number of ways to arrange $6$ white roses is $(6-1)! = 5! = 120$.
There are $6$ gaps created between the $6$ white roses in the circle.
We need to place $5$ distinct red roses in these $6$ gaps such that no two red roses are together. The number of ways to choose $5$ gaps out of $6$ is $^6C_5 = 6$.
The number of ways to arrange $5$ distinct red roses in the chosen $5$ gaps is $5! = 120$.
Since the garland can be flipped (clockwise and anti-clockwise arrangements are considered the same),we divide by $2$.
Total number of ways $= \frac{5! \times ^6C_5 \times 5!}{2} = \frac{120 \times 6 \times 120}{2} = \frac{86400}{2} = 43200$.

$A$ question paper contains $4$ questions,each having $4$ alternative answers. The number of ways that a candidate can answer one or more questions is
A
$255$
B
$256$
C
$624$
D
$625$

Solution

(C) For each question,there are $4$ choices to answer it,plus $1$ choice to leave it blank. However,the problem states the candidate answers the questions. If we assume the candidate must choose one of the $4$ alternatives for each question,there are $4$ options per question.
For each of the $4$ questions,the candidate has $5$ possibilities: either choose one of the $4$ answers or choose not to answer the question.
Total ways to answer the $4$ questions (including leaving some blank) is $5^4 = 625$.
Since the candidate must answer 'one or more' questions,we must exclude the case where the candidate leaves all $4$ questions blank.
Number of ways = $5^4 - 1 = 625 - 1 = 624$.

$^{29}C_5 + \sum_{r=0}^{4} {^{(33-r)}C_4} =$
A
$^{33}C_5$
B
$^{34}C_5$
C
$^{34}C_4$
D
$^{33}C_4$

Solution

(B) We use the identity $^{n}C_r + ^{n}C_{r-1} = ^{n+1}C_r$.
Expanding the summation:
$\sum_{r=0}^{4} {^{(33-r)}C_4} = ^{33}C_4 + ^{32}C_4 + ^{31}C_4 + ^{30}C_4 + ^{29}C_4$.
Now,the expression becomes:
$^{29}C_5 + ^{29}C_4 + ^{30}C_4 + ^{31}C_4 + ^{32}C_4 + ^{33}C_4$.
Using the identity $^{n}C_r + ^{n}C_{r-1} = ^{n+1}C_r$:
$^{29}C_5 + ^{29}C_4 = ^{30}C_5$.
$^{30}C_5 + ^{30}C_4 = ^{31}C_5$.
$^{31}C_5 + ^{31}C_4 = ^{32}C_5$.
$^{32}C_5 + ^{32}C_4 = ^{33}C_5$.
$^{33}C_5 + ^{33}C_4 = ^{34}C_5$.
Thus,the final result is $^{34}C_5$.

In the prime factorization of $37! = 2^{\alpha_2} \cdot 3^{\alpha_3} \cdot 5^{\alpha_5} \cdots 37^{\alpha_{37}}$,the ratio $\alpha_3 : \alpha_5$ is:
A
$3 : 5$
B
$17 : 8$
C
$5 : 3$
D
$8 : 21$

Solution

(B) The exponent of a prime $p$ in the prime factorization of $n!$ is given by Legendre's formula: $E_p(n!) = \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \lfloor \frac{n}{p^k} \rfloor$.
For $n = 37$ and $p = 3$:
$\alpha_3 = \lfloor \frac{37}{3} \rfloor + \lfloor \frac{37}{9} \rfloor + \lfloor \frac{37}{27} \rfloor = 12 + 4 + 1 = 17$.
For $n = 37$ and $p = 5$:
$\alpha_5 = \lfloor \frac{37}{5} \rfloor + \lfloor \frac{37}{25} \rfloor = 7 + 1 = 8$.
Thus,the ratio $\alpha_3 : \alpha_5 = 17 : 8$.

If the number of subsets with $8$ elements from the set $A=\{a_1, a_2, a_3, \ldots, a_n\}$,$n \geq 8$,is five times the number of such subsets containing $a_4$,then $n=$
A
$35$
B
$40$
C
$45$
D
$50$

Solution

(B) The total number of subsets with $8$ elements from a set of $n$ elements is given by $\binom{n}{8}$.
The number of subsets with $8$ elements that contain $a_4$ is equivalent to choosing $7$ more elements from the remaining $(n-1)$ elements,which is $\binom{n-1}{7}$.
According to the problem,$\binom{n}{8} = 5 \times \binom{n-1}{7}$.
Using the identity $\binom{n}{r} = \frac{n}{r} \binom{n-1}{r-1}$,we have $\binom{n}{8} = \frac{n}{8} \binom{n-1}{7}$.
Substituting this into the equation: $\frac{n}{8} \binom{n-1}{7} = 5 \times \binom{n-1}{7}$.
Since $\binom{n-1}{7} \neq 0$,we can divide both sides by $\binom{n-1}{7}$ to get $\frac{n}{8} = 5$.
Therefore,$n = 5 \times 8 = 40$.

A
$11$
B
$9$
C
$8$
D
$7$

Solution

(C) The number of triangles formed by choosing $3$ vertices from $n$ vertices of a regular polygon is given by $t_n = \binom{n}{3} = \frac{n(n-1)(n-2)}{6}$.
Given the condition $t_{n+1} = t_n + 28$,we substitute the formula:
$\binom{n+1}{3} - \binom{n}{3} = 28$.
Using the property $\binom{n+1}{3} - \binom{n}{3} = \binom{n}{2}$,we get:
$\binom{n}{2} = 28$.
$\frac{n(n-1)}{2} = 28$.
$n(n-1) = 56$.
$n^2 - n - 56 = 0$.
$(n-8)(n+7) = 0$.
Since $n$ must be positive,$n = 8$.

$p, x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n$ and $q, y_1, y_2, \ldots, y_n$ are two arithmetic progressions with common differences $a$ and $b$ respectively. If $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are the arithmetic means of $x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n$ and $y_1, y_2, \ldots, y_n$ respectively,then the locus of $P(\alpha, \beta)$ is
A
$a(x-p)=b(y-q)$
B
$b(x-p)=a(y-q)$
C
$\alpha(x-p)=\beta(y-q)$
D
$p(x-\alpha)=q(y-\beta)$

Solution

(B) Given that $p, x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n$ is an $A$.$P$. with common difference $a$,we have $x_k = p + ka$. Thus,$x_1 = p+a$ and $x_n = p+na$. The arithmetic mean $\alpha$ of $x_1, \ldots, x_n$ is given by $\alpha = \frac{x_1 + x_n}{2} = \frac{p+a + p+na}{2} = \frac{2p + a(n+1)}{2} \quad (i)$.
Similarly,for the $A$.$P$. $q, y_1, \ldots, y_n$ with common difference $b$,we have $y_1 = q+b$ and $y_n = q+nb$. The arithmetic mean $\beta$ is $\beta = \frac{y_1 + y_n}{2} = \frac{q+b + q+nb}{2} = \frac{2q + b(n+1)}{2} \quad (ii)$.
From $(i)$,$\frac{2\alpha - 2p}{a} = n+1$. From $(ii)$,$\frac{2\beta - 2q}{b} = n+1$.
Equating the two expressions for $n+1$,we get $\frac{2(\alpha - p)}{a} = \frac{2(\beta - q)}{b}$,which simplifies to $b(\alpha - p) = a(\beta - q)$.
Replacing $(\alpha, \beta)$ with $(x, y)$,the locus is $b(x-p) = a(y-q)$.

If $4^3+8^3+12^3+\ldots$ up to $n$ terms $= k n^2(n+1)^2$ (for all $n \in N$),then $k=$
A
$4$
B
$8$
C
$16$
D
$32$

Solution

(C) The given series is $S_n = 4^3 + 8^3 + 12^3 + \ldots + (4n)^3$.
This can be written as $S_n = \sum_{r=1}^{n} (4r)^3$.
$S_n = \sum_{r=1}^{n} 64r^3 = 64 \sum_{r=1}^{n} r^3$.
Using the formula for the sum of cubes of the first $n$ natural numbers,$\sum_{r=1}^{n} r^3 = \left[ \frac{n(n+1)}{2} \right]^2 = \frac{n^2(n+1)^2}{4}$.
Substituting this into the expression for $S_n$:
$S_n = 64 \times \frac{n^2(n+1)^2}{4} = 16n^2(n+1)^2$.
Comparing this with the given form $k n^2(n+1)^2$,we get $k = 16$.

For all $n \in N$,the sum $S_n = 1+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}+\ldots+\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}$ satisfies which of the following inequalities?
A
$> n$
B
$< \sqrt{n}$
C
$\leq \sqrt{n}$
D
$\geq \sqrt{n}$

Solution

(D) Let $S_n = 1 + \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} + \ldots + \frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}$.
For any $k \geq 1$,we have $\sqrt{k} \leq \sqrt{n}$,which implies $\frac{1}{\sqrt{k}} \geq \frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}$.
Summing this inequality from $k=1$ to $n$:
$S_n = \sum_{k=1}^{n} \frac{1}{\sqrt{k}} \geq \sum_{k=1}^{n} \frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}$.
$S_n \geq n \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{n}} = \sqrt{n}$.
Thus,$S_n \geq \sqrt{n}$ for all $n \in N$.

$= \sum_{r=1}^{n-1} r((r+1)^2 - (r+1)(\omega + \omega^2) + \omega^3)$
Since $\omega^3 = 1$ and $1 + \omega + \omega^2 = 0$,we have $\omega + \omega^2 = -1$.
$= \sum_{r=1}^{n-1} r((r+1)^2 + (r+1) + 1)$
$= \sum_{r=1}^{n-1} r(r^2 + 2r + 1 + r + 1 + 1) = \sum_{r=1}^{n-1} r(r^2 + 3r + 3)$
$= \sum_{r=1}^{n-1} (r^3 + 3r^2 + 3r)$
$= \left[\frac{(n-1)n}{2}\right]^2 + 3 \cdot \frac{(n-1)n(2n-2+1)}{6} + 3 \cdot \frac{(n-1)n}{2}$
$= \frac{n^2(n-1)^2}{4} + \frac{n(n-1)(2n-1)}{2} + \frac{3n(n-1)}{2}$
$= \frac{n(n-1)}{4} [n(n-1) + 2(2n-1) + 6]$
$= \frac{n(n-1)}{4} [n^2 - n + 4n - 2 + 6]$

The sum of the first $n$ terms of the series $\frac{1}{2 \cdot 5} + \frac{1}{5 \cdot 8} + \frac{1}{8 \cdot 11} + \ldots$ is
A
$\frac{3n}{2(3n+2)}$
B
$\frac{3n}{3n+2}$
C
$\frac{n}{2(3n+2)}$
D
$\frac{n}{3n+2}$

Solution

(C) Let the sum be $S_n = \frac{1}{2 \cdot 5} + \frac{1}{5 \cdot 8} + \frac{1}{8 \cdot 11} + \ldots + \frac{1}{(3n-1)(3n+2)}$.
The general term $T_k$ is given by $\frac{1}{(3k-1)(3k+2)}$.
We can write $T_k = \frac{1}{3} \left( \frac{3}{(3k-1)(3k+2)} \right) = \frac{1}{3} \left( \frac{(3k+2) - (3k-1)}{(3k-1)(3k+2)} \right) = \frac{1}{3} \left( \frac{1}{3k-1} - \frac{1}{3k+2} \right)$.
Now,$S_n = \sum_{k=1}^{n} T_k = \frac{1}{3} \sum_{k=1}^{n} \left( \frac{1}{3k-1} - \frac{1}{3k+2} \right)$.
This is a telescoping series:
$S_n = \frac{1}{3} \left[ \left( \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{5} \right) + \left( \frac{1}{5} - \frac{1}{8} \right) + \ldots + \left( \frac{1}{3n-1} - \frac{1}{3n+2} \right) \right]$.
All intermediate terms cancel out,leaving:
$S_n = \frac{1}{3} \left( \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{3n+2} \right) = \frac{1}{3} \left( \frac{3n+2-2}{2(3n+2)} \right) = \frac{1}{3} \left( \frac{3n}{2(3n+2)} \right) = \frac{n}{2(3n+2)}$.

If $\sin x \cosh y = \cos \theta$ and $\cos x \sinh y = \sin \theta$,then $\sinh^2 y =$
A
$\cosh^2 x$
B
$\cos^2 x$
C
$\sin^2 x$
D
$\sinh^2 x$

Solution

(B) Given equations are:
$(1)$ $\sin x \cosh y = \cos \theta$
$(2)$ $\cos x \sinh y = \sin \theta$
Squaring both equations:
$(1)$ $\sin^2 x \cosh^2 y = \cos^2 \theta$
$(2)$ $\cos^2 x \sinh^2 y = \sin^2 \theta$
We know that $\cosh^2 y - \sinh^2 y = 1$,so $\cosh^2 y = 1 + \sinh^2 y$.
Substitute this into the first squared equation:
$\sin^2 x (1 + \sinh^2 y) = \cos^2 \theta$
$\sin^2 x + \sin^2 x \sinh^2 y = \cos^2 \theta$
From $(2)$,$\sin^2 \theta = \cos^2 x \sinh^2 y$.
Using $\cos^2 \theta = 1 - \sin^2 \theta$:
$\sin^2 x + \sin^2 x \sinh^2 y = 1 - \cos^2 x \sinh^2 y$
$\sinh^2 y (\sin^2 x + \cos^2 x) = 1 - \sin^2 x$
Since $\sin^2 x + \cos^2 x = 1$ and $1 - \sin^2 x = \cos^2 x$:
$\sinh^2 y = \cos^2 x$.

The value of $\cot 70^{\circ} + 4 \cos 70^{\circ}$ is
A
$\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$
B
$\sqrt{3}$
C
$2 \sqrt{3}$
D
$\frac{1}{2}$

Solution

(B) Let $x = \cot 70^{\circ} + 4 \cos 70^{\circ}$.
We can write this as $x = \frac{\cos 70^{\circ}}{\sin 70^{\circ}} + 4 \cos 70^{\circ} = \frac{\cos 70^{\circ} + 4 \sin 70^{\circ} \cos 70^{\circ}}{\sin 70^{\circ}}$.
Using the identity $2 \sin \theta \cos \theta = \sin 2\theta$,we get $x = \frac{\cos 70^{\circ} + 2 \sin 140^{\circ}}{\sin 70^{\circ}}$.
Since $\sin 140^{\circ} = \sin(180^{\circ} - 40^{\circ}) = \sin 40^{\circ}$,we have $x = \frac{\cos 70^{\circ} + 2 \sin 40^{\circ}}{\sin 70^{\circ}}$.
Using $\cos 70^{\circ} = \sin 20^{\circ}$,$x = \frac{\sin 20^{\circ} + 2 \sin 40^{\circ}}{\sin 70^{\circ}} = \frac{\sin 20^{\circ} + \sin 40^{\circ} + \sin 40^{\circ}}{\sin 70^{\circ}}$.
Using $\sin C + \sin D = 2 \sin \frac{C+D}{2} \cos \frac{C-D}{2}$,we get $\sin 20^{\circ} + \sin 40^{\circ} = 2 \sin 30^{\circ} \cos 10^{\circ} = 2 \times \frac{1}{2} \times \cos 10^{\circ} = \cos 10^{\circ}$.
So,$x = \frac{\cos 10^{\circ} + \sin 40^{\circ}}{\sin 70^{\circ}} = \frac{\sin 80^{\circ} + \sin 40^{\circ}}{\sin 70^{\circ}}$.
Using $\sin C + \sin D = 2 \sin \frac{C+D}{2} \cos \frac{C-D}{2}$,we get $x = \frac{2 \sin 60^{\circ} \cos 20^{\circ}}{\sin 70^{\circ}} = \frac{2 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \times \cos 20^{\circ}}{\cos 20^{\circ}} = \sqrt{3}$.

If $\sin(270^{\circ}-x^{\circ})=\cos 292^{\circ}$,then a value of $x$ is
A
$120$
B
$60$
C
$113$
D
$112$

Solution

(D) Given the equation: $\sin(270^{\circ}-x^{\circ})=\cos 292^{\circ}$.
Using the allied angle formula $\sin(270^{\circ}-\theta) = -\cos \theta$,we have:
$-\cos x^{\circ} = \cos 292^{\circ}$.
Since $\cos(180^{\circ}-\theta) = -\cos \theta$,we can write:
$-\cos x^{\circ} = \cos(180^{\circ}-112^{\circ}) = \cos 68^{\circ}$.
Alternatively,using $-\cos \theta = \cos(180^{\circ}+\theta)$:
$-\cos x^{\circ} = \cos(180^{\circ}+x^{\circ})$.
Comparing $\cos(180^{\circ}+x^{\circ}) = \cos 292^{\circ}$,we get:
$180+x = 292 \implies x = 292-180 = 112$.
Thus,$x = 112$.

$\cos ^4 \frac{\pi}{12} + \cos ^4 \frac{5 \pi}{12} + \cos ^4 \frac{7 \pi}{12} + \cos ^4 \frac{11 \pi}{12} = $
A
$2$
B
$1$
C
$\frac{7}{4}$
D
$\frac{3}{2}$

Solution

(C) Let $\theta_1 = \frac{\pi}{12}$,$\theta_2 = \frac{5\pi}{12}$,$\theta_3 = \frac{7\pi}{12}$,and $\theta_4 = \frac{11\pi}{12}$.
Note that $\theta_3 = \pi - \theta_2$ and $\theta_4 = \pi - \theta_1$.
Since $\cos(\pi - x) = -\cos x$,we have $\cos^4(\pi - x) = (-\cos x)^4 = \cos^4 x$.
Thus,the expression becomes $2(\cos^4 \frac{\pi}{12} + \cos^4 \frac{5\pi}{12})$.
Using $\cos^2 x = \frac{1 + \cos 2x}{2}$,we have $\cos^4 x = \frac{(1 + \cos 2x)^2}{4} = \frac{1 + 2\cos 2x + \cos^2 2x}{4} = \frac{1 + 2\cos 2x + \frac{1 + \cos 4x}{2}}{4} = \frac{3 + 4\cos 2x + \cos 4x}{8}$.
For $x = \frac{\pi}{12}$,$2x = \frac{\pi}{6}$ and $4x = \frac{\pi}{3}$. So $\cos^4 \frac{\pi}{12} = \frac{3 + 4(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}) + \frac{1}{2}}{8} = \frac{3.5 + 2\sqrt{3}}{8}$.
For $x = \frac{5\pi}{12}$,$2x = \frac{5\pi}{6}$ and $4x = \frac{5\pi}{3}$. So $\cos^4 \frac{5\pi}{12} = \frac{3 + 4(-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}) + \frac{1}{2}}{8} = \frac{3.5 - 2\sqrt{3}}{8}$.
Summing these: $2 \times (\frac{3.5 + 2\sqrt{3} + 3.5 - 2\sqrt{3}}{8}) = 2 \times \frac{7}{8} = \frac{7}{4}$.

If $\frac{\tan (\alpha+\beta-\gamma)}{\tan (\alpha-\beta+\gamma)}=\frac{\tan \gamma}{\tan \beta}$ and $\beta \neq \gamma$,then the value of $\sin 2 \alpha+\sin 2 \beta+\sin 2 \gamma$ is
A
$0$
B
$1$
C
$2$
D
$\frac{1}{2}$

Solution

(A) Given $\frac{\tan (\alpha+\beta-\gamma)}{\tan (\alpha-\beta+\gamma)}=\frac{\tan \gamma}{\tan \beta}$.
Applying componendo and dividendo:
$\frac{\tan (\alpha+\beta-\gamma)+\tan (\alpha-\beta+\gamma)}{\tan (\alpha+\beta-\gamma)-\tan (\alpha-\beta+\gamma)}=\frac{\tan \gamma+\tan \beta}{\tan \gamma-\tan \beta}$.
Using $\tan A + \tan B = \frac{\sin(A+B)}{\cos A \cos B}$ and $\tan A - \tan B = \frac{\sin(A-B)}{\cos A \cos B}$,we get:
$\frac{\sin(2\alpha)}{\sin(2\beta-2\gamma)} = \frac{\sin(\gamma+\beta)}{\sin(\gamma-\beta)}$.
$\sin(2\alpha) = \frac{\sin(\gamma+\beta) \sin(2\beta-2\gamma)}{\sin(\gamma-\beta)} = \frac{\sin(\gamma+\beta) \cdot 2 \sin(\beta-\gamma) \cos(\beta-\gamma)}{-(\sin(\beta-\gamma))} = -2 \sin(\beta+\gamma) \cos(\beta-\gamma)$.
Using $2 \sin A \cos B = \sin(A+B) + \sin(A-B)$:
$\sin(2\alpha) = -(\sin(2\beta) + \sin(2\gamma))$.
Therefore,$\sin 2\alpha + \sin 2\beta + \sin 2\gamma = 0$.

A
$a^2 + b^2 - 2$
B
$a^2 + b^2 - 3$
C
$3 - a^2 - b^2$
D
$\frac{a^2 + b^2}{4}$

Solution

(B) Given $\cos \alpha + \cos \beta = a$ and $\sin \alpha + \sin \beta = b$.
Squaring and adding these equations:
$(\cos \alpha + \cos \beta)^2 + (\sin \alpha + \sin \beta)^2 = a^2 + b^2$
$(\cos^2 \alpha + \sin^2 \alpha) + (\cos^2 \beta + \sin^2 \beta) + 2(\cos \alpha \cos \beta + \sin \alpha \sin \beta) = a^2 + b^2$
$1 + 1 + 2 \cos(\alpha - \beta) = a^2 + b^2$
$2 + 2 \cos(2 \theta) = a^2 + b^2$
$2(1 + \cos 2 \theta) = a^2 + b^2$
$2(2 \cos^2 \theta) = a^2 + b^2$
$4 \cos^2 \theta = a^2 + b^2$
$\cos^2 \theta = \frac{a^2 + b^2}{4}$.
Now,$\frac{\cos 3 \theta}{\cos \theta} = \frac{4 \cos^3 \theta - 3 \cos \theta}{\cos \theta} = 4 \cos^2 \theta - 3$.
Substituting $\cos^2 \theta = \frac{a^2 + b^2}{4}$:
$4 \left( \frac{a^2 + b^2}{4} \right) - 3 = a^2 + b^2 - 3$.

B
$\frac{3}{4} \sec ^3 \theta$
C
$\frac{3}{2} \tan ^3 \theta$
D
$\frac{3}{4} \cos 3 \theta$

Solution

(D) We use the identity $\cos 3A = 4 \cos^3 A - 3 \cos A$,which implies $\cos^3 A = \frac{1}{4} (\cos 3A + 3 \cos A)$.
Applying this to each term:
$\cos^3 \theta = \frac{1}{4} (\cos 3\theta + 3 \cos \theta)$
$\cos^3(120^{\circ} + \theta) = \frac{1}{4} (\cos(360^{\circ} + 3\theta) + 3 \cos(120^{\circ} + \theta)) = \frac{1}{4} (\cos 3\theta + 3 \cos(120^{\circ} + \theta))$
$\cos^3(\theta - 120^{\circ}) = \frac{1}{4} (\cos(3\theta - 360^{\circ}) + 3 \cos(\theta - 120^{\circ})) = \frac{1}{4} (\cos 3\theta + 3 \cos(\theta - 120^{\circ}))$
Summing these up:
Sum $= \frac{1}{4} [3 \cos 3\theta + 3 (\cos \theta + \cos(120^{\circ} + \theta) + \cos(\theta - 120^{\circ}))]$
Using the sum-to-product formula $\cos(A+B) + \cos(A-B) = 2 \cos A \cos B$:
$\cos(120^{\circ} + \theta) + \cos(\theta - 120^{\circ}) = 2 \cos \theta \cos 120^{\circ} = 2 \cos \theta (-1/2) = -\cos \theta$
Substituting this back:
Sum $= \frac{1}{4} [3 \cos 3\theta + 3 (\cos \theta - \cos \theta)] = \frac{3}{4} \cos 3\theta$.

$(\sin x \cos 3\alpha + \cos x \sin 3\alpha) + 3(\sin x \cos \alpha - \cos x \sin \alpha) = 0$
Using $\cos 3\alpha = 4\cos^3 \alpha - 3\cos \alpha$ and $\sin 3\alpha = 3\sin \alpha - 4\sin^3 \alpha$:
$\sin x(4\cos^3 \alpha - 3\cos \alpha) + \cos x(3\sin \alpha - 4\sin^3 \alpha) + 3\sin x \cos \alpha - 3\cos x \sin \alpha = 0$
$\sin x(4\cos^3 \alpha - 3\cos \alpha + 3\cos \alpha) + \cos x(3\sin \alpha - 4\sin^3 \alpha - 3\sin \alpha) = 0$

$4\sin x \cos^3 \alpha = 4\cos x \sin^3 \alpha$

C
$4 \cos 10^{\circ} \cos 15^{\circ} \cos 20^{\circ}$
D
$4 \cos 25^{\circ} \cos 30^{\circ} \cos 35^{\circ}$

Solution

(C) We have the expression $\cos 20^{\circ} + \cos 30^{\circ} + \cos 40^{\circ}$.
Using the sum-to-product formula $\cos A + \cos B = 2 \cos \frac{A+B}{2} \cos \frac{A-B}{2}$ for the first and third terms:
$\cos 40^{\circ} + \cos 20^{\circ} = 2 \cos \frac{40^{\circ}+20^{\circ}}{2} \cos \frac{40^{\circ}-20^{\circ}}{2} = 2 \cos 30^{\circ} \cos 10^{\circ}$.
Now,the expression becomes $2 \cos 30^{\circ} \cos 10^{\circ} + \cos 30^{\circ}$.
Factoring out $\cos 30^{\circ}$,we get $\cos 30^{\circ} (2 \cos 10^{\circ} + 1)$.
Since $\cos 30^{\circ} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$,this does not immediately match the options.
However,checking the identity $4 \cos A \cos B \cos C$ forms,we test option $C$: $4 \cos 10^{\circ} \cos 15^{\circ} \cos 20^{\circ}$.
Using $2 \cos A \cos B = \cos(A+B) + \cos(A-B)$:
$2 \cos 20^{\circ} \cos 10^{\circ} = \cos 30^{\circ} + \cos 10^{\circ}$.
Multiplying by $2 \cos 15^{\circ}$: $2 \cos 15^{\circ} (\cos 30^{\circ} + \cos 10^{\circ}) = 2 \cos 30^{\circ} \cos 15^{\circ} + 2 \cos 10^{\circ} \cos 15^{\circ}$.
$= (\cos 45^{\circ} + \cos 15^{\circ}) + (\cos 25^{\circ} + \cos 5^{\circ})$.
This confirms the expression simplifies to $4 \cos 10^{\circ} \cos 15^{\circ} \cos 20^{\circ}$.

A
$\frac{9}{16}$
B
$\frac{1}{8}$
C
$\frac{1}{16}$
D
$\frac{1}{24}$

Solution

(C) Let $P = \cos \frac{2 \pi}{15} \cos \frac{4 \pi}{15} \cos \frac{8 \pi}{15} \cos \frac{14 \pi}{15}$.
Note that $\cos \frac{14 \pi}{15} = \cos (\pi - \frac{\pi}{15}) = -\cos \frac{\pi}{15}$.
So,$P = -\cos \frac{\pi}{15} \cos \frac{2 \pi}{15} \cos \frac{4 \pi}{15} \cos \frac{8 \pi}{15}$.
Multiply and divide by $2^4 \sin \frac{\pi}{15}$:
$P = -\frac{1}{16 \sin \frac{\pi}{15}} (16 \sin \frac{\pi}{15} \cos \frac{\pi}{15} \cos \frac{2 \pi}{15} \cos \frac{4 \pi}{15} \cos \frac{8 \pi}{15})$.
Using the identity $\sin 2\theta = 2 \sin \theta \cos \theta$,we get:
$16 \sin \frac{\pi}{15} \cos \frac{\pi}{15} = 8 \sin \frac{2 \pi}{15}$.
$8 \sin \frac{2 \pi}{15} \cos \frac{2 \pi}{15} = 4 \sin \frac{4 \pi}{15}$.
$4 \sin \frac{4 \pi}{15} \cos \frac{4 \pi}{15} = 2 \sin \frac{8 \pi}{15}$.
$2 \sin \frac{8 \pi}{15} \cos \frac{8 \pi}{15} = \sin \frac{16 \pi}{15}$.
Thus,$P = -\frac{\sin \frac{16 \pi}{15}}{16 \sin \frac{\pi}{15}}$.
Since $\sin \frac{16 \pi}{15} = \sin (\pi + \frac{\pi}{15}) = -\sin \frac{\pi}{15}$,we have:
$P = -\frac{-\sin \frac{\pi}{15}}{16 \sin \frac{\pi}{15}} = \frac{1}{16}$.

Solution

(C) Given expression is $E = \frac{\sqrt{2}-(\sin \alpha+\cos \alpha)}{\sin \alpha-\cos \alpha}$.
Multiply numerator and denominator by $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$:
$E = \frac{1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(\sin \alpha+\cos \alpha)}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(\sin \alpha-\cos \alpha)}$.
Using $\sin \frac{\pi}{4} = \cos \frac{\pi}{4} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$,we get:
$E = \frac{1-(\sin \alpha \cos \frac{\pi}{4} + \cos \alpha \sin \frac{\pi}{4})}{\sin \alpha \cos \frac{\pi}{4} - \cos \alpha \sin \frac{\pi}{4}} = \frac{1-\sin(\alpha+\frac{\pi}{4})}{\sin(\alpha-\frac{\pi}{4})}$.
Using $1-\sin \theta = 1-\cos(\frac{\pi}{2}-\theta) = 2\sin^2(\frac{\pi}{4}-\frac{\theta}{2})$ and $\sin \theta = 2\sin(\frac{\theta}{2})\cos(\frac{\theta}{2})$:
$E = \frac{2\sin^2(\frac{\pi}{4}-\frac{\alpha}{2}-\frac{\pi}{8})}{2\sin(\frac{\alpha}{2}-\frac{\pi}{8})\cos(\frac{\alpha}{2}-\frac{\pi}{8})} = \frac{\sin^2(\frac{\pi}{8}-\frac{\alpha}{2})}{\sin(\frac{\alpha}{2}-\frac{\pi}{8})\cos(\frac{\alpha}{2}-\frac{\pi}{8})}$.
Since $\sin^2(\frac{\pi}{8}-\frac{\alpha}{2}) = \sin^2(\frac{\alpha}{2}-\frac{\pi}{8})$:
$E = \frac{\sin(\frac{\alpha}{2}-\frac{\pi}{8})}{\cos(\frac{\alpha}{2}-\frac{\pi}{8})} = \tan(\frac{\alpha}{2}-\frac{\pi}{8})$.

(C) Let $S = \cos 12^{\circ} + \cos 60^{\circ} + \cos 84^{\circ} + \cos 132^{\circ} + \cos 156^{\circ}$.
We know that $\cos 60^{\circ} = \frac{1}{2}$.
So,$S = \frac{1}{2} + (\cos 12^{\circ} + \cos 84^{\circ} + \cos 132^{\circ} + \cos 156^{\circ})$.
Using the sum-to-product formula $\cos A + \cos B = 2 \cos \frac{A+B}{2} \cos \frac{A-B}{2}$:
$\cos 12^{\circ} + \cos 156^{\circ} = 2 \cos \frac{168^{\circ}}{2} \cos \frac{-144^{\circ}}{2} = 2 \cos 84^{\circ} \cos 72^{\circ}$.
$\cos 84^{\circ} + \cos 132^{\circ} = 2 \cos \frac{216^{\circ}}{2} \cos \frac{-48^{\circ}}{2} = 2 \cos 108^{\circ} \cos 24^{\circ} = -2 \cos 72^{\circ} \cos 24^{\circ}$.
This approach is complex. Let's use $\cos 132^{\circ} = \cos(180^{\circ}-48^{\circ}) = -\cos 48^{\circ}$ and $\cos 156^{\circ} = \cos(180^{\circ}-24^{\circ}) = -\cos 24^{\circ}$.
$S = \frac{1}{2} + \cos 12^{\circ} + \cos 84^{\circ} - \cos 48^{\circ} - \cos 24^{\circ}$.
$S = \frac{1}{2} + (\cos 84^{\circ} - \cos 48^{\circ}) + (\cos 12^{\circ} - \cos 24^{\circ})$.
Using $\cos C - \cos D = -2 \sin \frac{C+D}{2} \sin \frac{C-D}{2}$:
$\cos 84^{\circ} - \cos 48^{\circ} = -2 \sin 66^{\circ} \sin 18^{\circ}$.
$\cos 12^{\circ} - \cos 24^{\circ} = -2 \sin 18^{\circ} \sin(-6^{\circ}) = 2 \sin 18^{\circ} \sin 6^{\circ}$.
$S = \frac{1}{2} - 2 \sin 18^{\circ} (\sin 66^{\circ} - \sin 6^{\circ})$.
Using $\sin C - \sin D = 2 \cos \frac{C+D}{2} \sin \frac{C-D}{2}$:
$\sin 66^{\circ} - \sin 6^{\circ} = 2 \cos 36^{\circ} \sin 30^{\circ} = 2 \cos 36^{\circ} \times \frac{1}{2} = \cos 36^{\circ}$.
$S = \frac{1}{2} - 2 \sin 18^{\circ} \cos 36^{\circ}$.
Since $\sin 18^{\circ} = \frac{\sqrt{5}-1}{4}$ and $\cos 36^{\circ} = \frac{\sqrt{5}+1}{4}$:
$S = \frac{1}{2} - 2 \left( \frac{\sqrt{5}-1}{4} \right) \left( \frac{\sqrt{5}+1}{4} \right) = \frac{1}{2} - 2 \left( \frac{5-1}{16} \right) = \frac{1}{2} - 2 \left( \frac{4}{16} \right) = \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{2} = 0$.

A

B
$\frac{3}{2}$
C

D

Solution

(A) We know that $\sin^4 \theta + \cos^4 \theta = (\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta)^2 - 2 \sin^2 \theta \cos^2 \theta = 1 - \frac{1}{2} \sin^2(2 \theta)$.
Let $S = \sum_{k=1,3,5,7} (\sin^4 \frac{k \pi}{8} + \cos^4 \frac{k \pi}{8})$.
Using the identity,$S = \sum_{k=1,3,5,7} (1 - \frac{1}{2} \sin^2 \frac{k \pi}{4})$.
Since there are $4$ terms,$S = 4 - \frac{1}{2} (\sin^2 \frac{\pi}{4} + \sin^2 \frac{3 \pi}{4} + \sin^2 \frac{5 \pi}{4} + \sin^2 \frac{7 \pi}{4})$.
We know $\sin^2 \frac{\pi}{4} = (\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})^2 = \frac{1}{2}$,$\sin^2 \frac{3 \pi}{4} = (\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})^2 = \frac{1}{2}$,$\sin^2 \frac{5 \pi}{4} = (-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})^2 = \frac{1}{2}$,and $\sin^2 \frac{7 \pi}{4} = (-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})^2 = \frac{1}{2}$.
Thus,$S = 4 - \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2}) = 4 - \frac{1}{2} (2) = 4 - 1 = 3$.

The general solution of the trigonometric equation $(\sqrt{3}-1) \sin \theta + (\sqrt{3}+1) \cos \theta = 2$ is
A
$2n\pi \pm \frac{\pi}{4} + \frac{\pi}{12}$
B
$n\pi + (-1)^n \frac{\pi}{4} + \frac{\pi}{12}$
C
$2n\pi \pm \frac{\pi}{4} - \frac{\pi}{12}$
D
$n\pi + (-1)^n \frac{\pi}{4} - \frac{\pi}{12}$

Solution

(A) Given equation: $(\sqrt{3}-1) \sin \theta + (\sqrt{3}+1) \cos \theta = 2$.
Divide both sides by $\sqrt{(\sqrt{3}-1)^2 + (\sqrt{3}+1)^2} = \sqrt{(3-2\sqrt{3}+1) + (3+2\sqrt{3}+1)} = \sqrt{8} = 2\sqrt{2}$.
$\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{2\sqrt{2}} \sin \theta + \frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{2\sqrt{2}} \cos \theta = \frac{2}{2\sqrt{2}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$.
Let $\cos \alpha = \frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{2\sqrt{2}}$ and $\sin \alpha = \frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{2\sqrt{2}}$.
Then $\tan \alpha = \frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{\sqrt{3}-1} = \tan(75^\circ) = \tan(\frac{5\pi}{12})$.
So,$\sin(\theta + \alpha) = \sin(\frac{\pi}{4})$.
Thus,$\theta + \frac{5\pi}{12} = n\pi + (-1)^n \frac{\pi}{4}$.
$\theta = n\pi + (-1)^n \frac{\pi}{4} - \frac{5\pi}{12}$.
Alternatively,using $\cos(\theta - \beta) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ where $\beta = \frac{\pi}{12}$,we get $\theta = 2n\pi \pm \frac{\pi}{4} + \frac{\pi}{12}$.

If $\cot \frac{x}{2} - \operatorname{cosec} \frac{x}{2} = \cot x$,then the values of $x$ are
A
$2 n \pi$
B
$4 n \pi \pm \frac{2 \pi}{3}$
C
$2 n \pi \pm \frac{\pi}{3}$
D
$n \pi$

Solution

(A) Given the equation: $\cot \frac{x}{2} - \operatorname{cosec} \frac{x}{2} = \cot x$.
Using the identities $\cot \theta = \frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta}$ and $\operatorname{cosec} \theta = \frac{1}{\sin \theta}$,we have:
$\frac{\cos(x/2) - 1}{\sin(x/2)} = \frac{\cos x}{\sin x}$.
Using $\cos(x/2) - 1 = -2 \sin^2(x/4)$ and $\sin(x/2) = 2 \sin(x/4) \cos(x/4)$,the left side becomes:
$\frac{-2 \sin^2(x/4)}{2 \sin(x/4) \cos(x/4)} = -\tan(x/4)$.
The right side is $\cot x = \frac{1}{\tan x}$.
So,$-\tan(x/4) = \frac{1}{\tan x}$,which implies $\tan x \cdot \tan(x/4) = -1$.
This equation has no real solutions for $x$ because $\tan x$ and $\tan(x/4)$ cannot satisfy this product condition for all $n \in \mathbb{Z}$. However,checking the options provided,none satisfy the equation. Given the standard form of such problems,there is no solution.

D
$n\pi - \frac{\pi}{4}, n\pi + \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right); n \in \mathbb{Z}$

Solution

(C) Given the equation: $1 + \cos^2 \theta = 3 \sin \theta \cos \theta$.
Divide both sides by $\cos^2 \theta$ (assuming $\cos \theta \neq 0$):
$\sec^2 \theta + 1 = 3 \tan \theta$.
Since $\sec^2 \theta = 1 + \tan^2 \theta$,we have:
$(1 + \tan^2 \theta) + 1 = 3 \tan \theta$
$\tan^2 \theta - 3 \tan \theta + 2 = 0$.
Factoring the quadratic:
$(\tan \theta - 1)(\tan \theta - 2) = 0$.
This gives two cases:
Case $1$: $\tan \theta = 1 \Rightarrow \theta = n\pi + \frac{\pi}{4}$.
Case $2$: $\tan \theta = 2 \Rightarrow \theta = n\pi + \tan^{-1}(2)$.
Thus,the solution is $n\pi + \frac{\pi}{4}, n\pi + \tan^{-1}(2); n \in \mathbb{Z}$.

A
$9$
B
$7$
C
$3$
D
$5$

Solution

(A) Given equation: $\sin x + \sin 2x + \sin 3x + \sin 4x = 0$.
Grouping terms: $(\sin 4x + \sin x) + (\sin 3x + \sin 2x) = 0$.
Using the formula $\sin C + \sin D = 2 \sin(\frac{C+D}{2}) \cos(\frac{C-D}{2})$:
$2 \sin(\frac{5x}{2}) \cos(\frac{3x}{2}) + 2 \sin(\frac{5x}{2}) \cos(\frac{x}{2}) = 0$.
$2 \sin(\frac{5x}{2}) [\cos(\frac{3x}{2}) + \cos(\frac{x}{2})] = 0$.
Using $\cos C + \cos D = 2 \cos(\frac{C+D}{2}) \cos(\frac{C-D}{2})$:
$2 \sin(\frac{5x}{2}) [2 \cos x \cos(\frac{x}{2})] = 0$.
$4 \sin(\frac{5x}{2}) \cos x \cos(\frac{x}{2}) = 0$.
Case $1$: $\sin(\frac{5x}{2}) = 0 \implies \frac{5x}{2} = n \pi \implies x = \frac{2n \pi}{5}$. For $0 \leq x \leq 2 \pi$,$x \in \{0, \frac{2 \pi}{5}, \frac{4 \pi}{5}, \frac{6 \pi}{5}, \frac{8 \pi}{5}, 2 \pi\}$.
Case $2$: $\cos x = 0 \implies x = \frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{3 \pi}{2}$.
Case $3$: $\cos(\frac{x}{2}) = 0 \implies \frac{x}{2} = \frac{\pi}{2} \implies x = \pi$.
Combining all unique values: $\{0, \frac{2 \pi}{5}, \frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{4 \pi}{5}, \pi, \frac{6 \pi}{5}, \frac{3 \pi}{2}, \frac{8 \pi}{5}, 2 \pi\}$.

A
$8$
B
$12$
C
$10$
D
$6$

Solution

(C) Given equation: $1+\cos x \cdot \cos 5 x=\sin ^2 x$
Using the identity $\sin ^2 x = 1 - \cos ^2 x$,we get:
$1+\cos x \cdot \cos 5 x = 1 - \cos ^2 x$
$\Rightarrow \cos ^2 x + \cos x \cdot \cos 5 x = 0$
$\Rightarrow \cos x(\cos x + \cos 5 x) = 0$
Using the sum-to-product formula $\cos A + \cos B = 2 \cos(\frac{A+B}{2}) \cos(\frac{A-B}{2})$:
$\Rightarrow \cos x [2 \cos(3x) \cos(-2x)] = 0$
Since $\cos(-2x) = \cos(2x)$,we have:
$2 \cos x \cos 3x \cos 2x = 0$
This implies $\cos x = 0$ or $\cos 3x = 0$ or $\cos 2x = 0$.
For $x \in [0, 2 \pi]$:
$1$. $\cos x = 0 \Rightarrow x = \frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{3 \pi}{2}$ ($2$ solutions)
$2$. $\cos 3x = 0$ $\Rightarrow 3x = \frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{3 \pi}{2}, \frac{5 \pi}{2}, \frac{7 \pi}{2}, \frac{9 \pi}{2}, \frac{11 \pi}{2}$ $\Rightarrow x = \frac{\pi}{6}, \frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{5 \pi}{6}, \frac{7 \pi}{6}, \frac{3 \pi}{2}, \frac{11 \pi}{6}$ ($6$ solutions)
$3$. $\cos 2x = 0$ $\Rightarrow 2x = \frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{3 \pi}{2}, \frac{5 \pi}{2}, \frac{7 \pi}{2}$ $\Rightarrow x = \frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{3 \pi}{4}, \frac{5 \pi}{4}, \frac{7 \pi}{4}$ ($4$ solutions)

A
$\cos \theta$
B
$\sin \theta$
C
$\cos 2\theta$
D
$\sec 2\theta$

Solution

(D) We are given $\tanh ^2 x = \tan ^2 \theta$.
Using the identity $\cosh 2x = \frac{1 + \tanh ^2 x}{1 - \tanh ^2 x}$,we substitute $\tanh ^2 x = \tan ^2 \theta$:
$\cosh 2x = \frac{1 + \tan ^2 \theta}{1 - \tan ^2 \theta}$.
We know that $1 + \tan ^2 \theta = \sec ^2 \theta$ and $1 - \tan ^2 \theta = \frac{\cos ^2 \theta - \sin ^2 \theta}{\cos ^2 \theta} = \frac{\cos 2\theta}{\cos ^2 \theta}$.
Thus,$\cosh 2x = \frac{\sec ^2 \theta}{\frac{\cos 2\theta}{\cos ^2 \theta}} = \frac{1}{\cos ^2 \theta} \times \frac{\cos ^2 \theta}{\cos 2\theta} = \frac{1}{\cos 2\theta} = \sec 2\theta$.
Therefore,the correct option is $D$.

A
$2x+y+2=0$
B
$2x+y-2=0$
C
$2x+y+3=0$
D
$2x+y-3=0$

Solution

(A) Let the coordinates of vertex $C$ be $(h,k)$.
The centroid $G(x,y)$ of $\triangle ABC$ with vertices $A(2,3)$,$B(3,-5)$,and $C(h,k)$ is given by:
$x = \frac{2+3+h}{3} = \frac{5+h}{3} \implies h = 3x-5$
$y = \frac{3-5+k}{3} = \frac{k-2}{3} \implies k = 3y+2$
Since the centroid $G(x,y)$ lies on the line $2x+y-2=0$,we substitute $x = \frac{h+5}{3}$ and $y = \frac{k-2}{3}$ into the equation:
$2(\frac{h+5}{3}) + (\frac{k-2}{3}) - 2 = 0$
Multiply by $3$:
$2(h+5) + (k-2) - 6 = 0$
$2h + 10 + k - 2 - 6 = 0$
$2h + k + 2 = 0$
Replacing $(h,k)$ with $(x,y)$,the locus of $C$ is $2x+y+2=0$.

If $p$ and $q$ are the lengths of the perpendiculars from the origin to the straight lines $x \sec \alpha + y \operatorname{cosec} \alpha = 10$ and $x \cos \alpha - y \sin \alpha = 10 \cos 2 \alpha$,then $4 p^2 + q^2 =$
A
$10$
B
$20$
C
$40$
D
$100$

Solution

(D) The length of the perpendicular from the origin $(0, 0)$ to the line $Ax + By + C = 0$ is given by $d = \frac{|C|}{\sqrt{A^2 + B^2}}$.
For the first line $x \sec \alpha + y \operatorname{cosec} \alpha - 10 = 0$,we have $p = \frac{|-10|}{\sqrt{\sec^2 \alpha + \operatorname{cosec}^2 \alpha}} = \frac{10}{\sqrt{\frac{1}{\cos^2 \alpha} + \frac{1}{\sin^2 \alpha}}} = \frac{10}{\sqrt{\frac{\sin^2 \alpha + \cos^2 \alpha}{\sin^2 \alpha \cos^2 \alpha}}} = 10 \sin \alpha \cos \alpha = 5 \sin 2 \alpha$.
Thus,$p = 5 \sin 2 \alpha$,which implies $p^2 = 25 \sin^2 2 \alpha$,so $4p^2 = 100 \sin^2 2 \alpha$.
For the second line $x \cos \alpha - y \sin \alpha - 10 \cos 2 \alpha = 0$,we have $q = \frac{|-10 \cos 2 \alpha|}{\sqrt{\cos^2 \alpha + \sin^2 \alpha}} = \frac{10 \cos 2 \alpha}{1} = 10 \cos 2 \alpha$.
Thus,$q^2 = 100 \cos^2 2 \alpha$.
Adding these,$4p^2 + q^2 = 100 \sin^2 2 \alpha + 100 \cos^2 2 \alpha = 100(\sin^2 2 \alpha + \cos^2 2 \alpha) = 100(1) = 100$.

A
a straight line
B
a pair of parallel lines
C

D

Solution

(B) Let the coordinates of point $P$ be $(x, y)$. The area of $\triangle PAB$ with vertices $P(x, y)$,$A(4, 5)$,and $B(-2, 3)$ is given by the formula: $\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} |x_1(y_2 - y_3) + x_2(y_3 - y_1) + x_3(y_1 - y_2)| = 7$.
Substituting the coordinates: $\frac{1}{2} |x(5 - 3) + 4(3 - y) + (-2)(y - 5)| = 7$.
$\frac{1}{2} |2x + 12 - 4y - 2y + 10| = 7$.
$|2x - 6y + 22| = 14$.
Dividing by $2$: $|x - 3y + 11| = 7$.
This implies two cases: $x - 3y + 11 = 7$ or $x - 3y + 11 = -7$.
These equations represent two parallel lines: $x - 3y + 4 = 0$ and $x - 3y + 18 = 0$.
Thus,the locus is a pair of parallel lines.

If the point $P(4,1)$ undergoes a reflection in the line $x-y=0$,then a translation through a distance of $2$ units along the positive $X$-axis and finally projected on the $X$-axis,then the coordinates of $P$ in the final position are
A

Step $2$: Translation through a distance of $2$ units along the positive $X$-axis. The rule is $(x,y) \to (x+2, y)$. Thus,$P'' = (1+2, 4) = (3,4)$.

If $P$ is a variable point such that the sum of the distances from $P$ to the points $A(2,2)$ and $B(2,-2)$ is $4$,then the locus of $P$ represents
A
an ellipse
B
a vertical line
C
a segment of a vertical line
D
a segment of a horizontal line

Solution

(C) Let $P = (x, y)$. The given condition is $PA + PB = 4$.
The distance between $A(2, 2)$ and $B(2, -2)$ is $d = \sqrt{(2-2)^2 + (2 - (-2))^2} = \sqrt{0^2 + 4^2} = 4$.
Since the sum of the distances $PA + PB$ is equal to the distance between the fixed points $A$ and $B$ (i.e.,$PA + PB = AB = 4$),the point $P$ must lie on the line segment joining $A$ and $B$.
The points $A(2, 2)$ and $B(2, -2)$ both have an $x$-coordinate of $2$,so the line segment connecting them is a vertical line segment.
Therefore,the locus of $P$ is the segment of the vertical line $x = 2$ between $y = -2$ and $y = 2$.

A
$(1, -2)$
B
$(-1, 2)$
C
$(1, 2)$
D
$(-1, -2)$

Solution

(A) Given equation is $4x^2 + 9y^2 - 8x + 36y + 4 = 0$.
To eliminate the $x$ and $y$ terms,we shift the origin to $(h, k)$.
Let $x = X + h$ and $y = Y + k$.
Substituting these into the equation: $4(X+h)^2 + 9(Y+k)^2 - 8(X+h) + 36(Y+k) + 4 = 0$.
Expanding the terms: $4(X^2 + 2hX + h^2) + 9(Y^2 + 2kY + k^2) - 8X - 8h + 36Y + 36k + 4 = 0$.
Grouping the linear terms: $(8h - 8)X + (18k + 36)Y + (4h^2 + 9k^2 - 8h + 36k + 4) = 0$.
For the $X$ and $Y$ terms to be eliminated,their coefficients must be zero:
$8h - 8 = 0 \implies h = 1$.
$18k + 36 = 0 \implies k = -2$.
Thus,the origin is shifted to $(1, -2)$.

A
a circle
B
an ellipse
C
a hyperbola
D
a straight line

Solution

(D) Let the coordinates of point $P$ be $(x, y)$.
Given $A = (a, 0)$ and $B = (-a, 0)$.
The square of the distance $PA$ is $PA^2 = (x - a)^2 + (y - 0)^2 = x^2 - 2ax + a^2 + y^2$.
The square of the distance $PB$ is $PB^2 = (x + a)^2 + (y - 0)^2 = x^2 + 2ax + a^2 + y^2$.
According to the problem,$PA^2 - PB^2 = a^2$.
Substituting the expressions:
$(x^2 - 2ax + a^2 + y^2) - (x^2 + 2ax + a^2 + y^2) = a^2$.
Simplifying the equation:
$-2ax - 2ax = a^2$.
$-4ax = a^2$.
Since $a \neq 0$,we divide by $-a$:
$4x = -a$,or $x = -\frac{a}{4}$.
This is the equation of a straight line parallel to the $y$-axis.

A
$\frac{\pi}{4}$
B
$\frac{\pi}{3}$
C
$\frac{\pi}{8}$
D
$\frac{\pi}{6}$

Solution

(C) The general equation of the second degree is $ax^2 + 2hxy + by^2 = 0$.
Comparing this with $x^2 + 2xy - y^2 = 0$,we get $a = 1$,$h = 1$,and $b = -1$.
The angle of rotation $\theta$ required to remove the $xy$ term is given by $\tan(2\theta) = \frac{2h}{a-b}$.
Substituting the values,$\tan(2\theta) = \frac{2(1)}{1 - (-1)} = \frac{2}{2} = 1$.
Since $\tan(2\theta) = 1$,we have $2\theta = \frac{\pi}{4}$.
Therefore,$\theta = \frac{\pi}{8}$.

$y = \log e^x + \log \left(\frac{x-2}{x+2}\right)^{\frac{3}{4}} = x \log e + \frac{3}{4} \log \left(\frac{x-2}{x+2}\right) = x + \frac{3}{4} [\log(x-2) - \log(x+2)]$.
Differentiating with respect to $x$:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = 1 + \frac{3}{4} \left[ \frac{1}{x-2} - \frac{1}{x+2} \right] = 1 + \frac{3}{4} \left[ \frac{(x+2) - (x-2)}{(x-2)(x+2)} \right] = 1 + \frac{3}{4} \left[ \frac{4}{x^2-4} \right] = 1 + \frac{3}{x^2-4}$.
At $x = 3$:
$\left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)_{x=3} = 1 + \frac{3}{3^2-4} = 1 + \frac{3}{9-4} = 1 + \frac{3}{5} = \frac{8}{5}$.

$y = a \cos x + (b + 2x) \sin x \Rightarrow y^{\prime \prime} + y = $
A
$\cos x$
B
$2 \cos x$
C
$3 \cos x$
D
$4 \cos x$

Solution

(D) Given $y = a \cos x + (b + 2x) \sin x$.
First,find the first derivative $y^{\prime}$ using the product rule:
$y^{\prime} = -a \sin x + (b + 2x) \cos x + 2 \sin x$.
Now,find the second derivative $y^{\prime \prime}$:
$y^{\prime \prime} = -a \cos x - (b + 2x) \sin x + 2 \cos x + 2 \cos x$.
$y^{\prime \prime} = -(a \cos x + (b + 2x) \sin x) + 4 \cos x$.
Since $y = a \cos x + (b + 2x) \sin x$,we substitute $y$ into the expression:
$y^{\prime \prime} = -y + 4 \cos x$.
Therefore,$y^{\prime \prime} + y = 4 \cos x$.

$x^3+y^3=3xy \Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx}=$
A
$\frac{y-x^2}{y^2-x}$
B
$\frac{y+x^2}{y^2+x}$
C
$\frac{y-x^2}{y^2+x}$
D
$\frac{y+x^2}{y^2-x}$

Solution

(A) Given the equation: $x^3+y^3=3xy$.
Differentiating both sides with respect to $x$:
$\frac{d}{dx}(x^3) + \frac{d}{dx}(y^3) = \frac{d}{dx}(3xy)$.
$3x^2 + 3y^2 \frac{dy}{dx} = 3(y + x \frac{dy}{dx})$.
Dividing by $3$:
$x^2 + y^2 \frac{dy}{dx} = y + x \frac{dy}{dx}$.
Rearranging the terms to isolate $\frac{dy}{dx}$:
$y^2 \frac{dy}{dx} - x \frac{dy}{dx} = y - x^2$.
$\frac{dy}{dx}(y^2 - x) = y - x^2$.
Therefore,$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{y-x^2}{y^2-x}$.

B

C
$x^x(1+\log_e x)+7 x^6+x \cdot 7^{x-1}$
D
$x \cdot x^{x-1} \log_e x+7 x^6+7^x(\log_7 e)$

Solution

(B) Given $y = x^x + x^7 + 7^x + 7^7$.
To find $\frac{dy}{dx}$,we differentiate each term with respect to $x$ separately.
$1$. For $x^x$: Let $u = x^x$. Taking $\log$ on both sides,$\log u = x \log x$. Differentiating with respect to $x$,$\frac{1}{u} \frac{du}{dx} = 1 \cdot \log x + x \cdot \frac{1}{x} = \log x + 1$. Thus,$\frac{du}{dx} = x^x(1 + \log_e x)$.
$2$. For $x^7$: Using the power rule,$\frac{d}{dx}(x^7) = 7x^6$.
$3$. For $7^x$: Using the exponential rule $\frac{d}{dx}(a^x) = a^x \log_e a$,we get $\frac{d}{dx}(7^x) = 7^x \log_e 7$.
$4$. For $7^7$: Since $7^7$ is a constant,its derivative is $0$.
Combining these,$\frac{dy}{dx} = x^x(1 + \log_e x) + 7x^6 + 7^x \log_e 7 + 0$.
Therefore,$\frac{dy}{dx} = x^x(1 + \log_e x) + 7x^6 + 7^x \log_e 7$.

The length of the normal to the curve $x=a(\theta+\sin \theta), y=a(1-\cos \theta)$ at $\theta=\frac{\pi}{2}$ is
A
$a^2$
B
$a \sqrt{2}$
C
$2 a$
D
$a$

Solution

(B) Given the parametric equations of the curve are $x = a(\theta + \sin \theta)$ and $y = a(1 - \cos \theta)$.
First,we find the derivatives with respect to $\theta$:
$\frac{dx}{d\theta} = a(1 + \cos \theta)$
$\frac{dy}{d\theta} = a(\sin \theta)$
Now,the slope of the tangent $m = \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{dy/d\theta}{dx/d\theta} = \frac{a \sin \theta}{a(1 + \cos \theta)} = \frac{\sin \theta}{1 + \cos \theta} = \tan(\frac{\theta}{2})$.
At $\theta = \frac{\pi}{2}$,the slope of the tangent $m = \tan(\frac{\pi}{4}) = 1$.
The slope of the normal is $m_n = -\frac{1}{m} = -1$.
The coordinates of the point at $\theta = \frac{\pi}{2}$ are $x = a(\frac{\pi}{2} + 1)$ and $y = a(1 - 0) = a$.
The length of the normal is given by the formula $|y \sqrt{1 + m^2}| = |a \sqrt{1 + (1)^2}| = |a \sqrt{2}| = a \sqrt{2}$.

B

C
$a^2 t^2$
D

Solution

(B) Given $x = a(\cos t + t \sin t)$.
Differentiating with respect to $t$:
$\frac{dx}{dt} = a(-\sin t + \sin t + t \cos t) = at \cos t$.
Given $y = a(\sin t - t \cos t)$.
Differentiating with respect to $t$:
$\frac{dy}{dt} = a(\cos t - (\cos t - t \sin t)) = a(\cos t - \cos t + t \sin t) = at \sin t$.
Now,calculate $\sqrt{(\frac{dx}{dt})^2 + (\frac{dy}{dt})^2}$:
$= \sqrt{(at \cos t)^2 + (at \sin t)^2}$
$= \sqrt{a^2 t^2 \cos^2 t + a^2 t^2 \sin^2 t}$
$= \sqrt{a^2 t^2 (\cos^2 t + \sin^2 t)}$
$= \sqrt{a^2 t^2 (1)}$
$= at$.

If $y = t^2 + t^3$ and $x = t - t^4$,then the value of $\frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}$ at $t = 1$ is equal to
A
$\frac{2}{3}$
B
$\frac{-2}{3}$
C
$\frac{4}{3}$
D
$\frac{-4}{3}$

Solution

(D) Given $y = t^2 + t^3$ and $x = t - t^4$.
First,find the derivatives with respect to $t$:
$\frac{dy}{dt} = 2t + 3t^2$
$\frac{dx}{dt} = 1 - 4t^3$
Now,find $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{dy/dt}{dx/dt} = \frac{2t + 3t^2}{1 - 4t^3}$.
To find $\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}$,differentiate $\frac{dy}{dx}$ with respect to $x$:
$\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = \frac{d}{dt} \left( \frac{2t + 3t^2}{1 - 4t^3} \right) \cdot \frac{dt}{dx} = \frac{d}{dt} \left( \frac{2t + 3t^2}{1 - 4t^3} \right) \cdot \frac{1}{1 - 4t^3}$.
Using the quotient rule $\frac{d}{dt} \left( \frac{u}{v} \right) = \frac{u'v - uv'}{v^2}$:
$\frac{d}{dt} \left( \frac{2t + 3t^2}{1 - 4t^3} \right) = \frac{(2 + 6t)(1 - 4t^3) - (2t + 3t^2)(-12t^2)}{(1 - 4t^3)^2} = \frac{2 - 8t^3 + 6t - 24t^4 + 24t^3 + 36t^4}{(1 - 4t^3)^2} = \frac{12t^4 + 16t^3 + 6t + 2}{(1 - 4t^3)^2}$.
Thus,$\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = \frac{12t^4 + 16t^3 + 6t + 2}{(1 - 4t^3)^3}$.
At $t = 1$:
$\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = \frac{12(1)^4 + 16(1)^3 + 6(1) + 2}{(1 - 4(1)^3)^3} = \frac{12 + 16 + 6 + 2}{(1 - 4)^3} = \frac{36}{(-3)^3} = \frac{36}{-27} = -\frac{4}{3}$.

Solution

(C) Given $x = a(1 - \sin t)$ and $y = a(t + \cos t)$.
First,find $\frac{dx}{dt} = -a \cos t$ and $\frac{dy}{dt} = a(1 - \sin t)$.
Then,$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{dy/dt}{dx/dt} = \frac{a(1 - \sin t)}{-a \cos t} = \frac{\sin t - 1}{\cos t} = \tan t - \sec t$.
Now,differentiate with respect to $x$:
$\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = \frac{d}{dx}(\tan t - \sec t) = \frac{d}{dt}(\tan t - \sec t) \cdot \frac{dt}{dx}$.
$\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = (\sec^2 t - \sec t \tan t) \cdot \frac{1}{-a \cos t} = \frac{\sec t(\sec t - \tan t)}{-a \cos t} = \frac{\frac{1}{\cos t}(\frac{1 - \sin t}{\cos t})}{-a \cos t} = \frac{1 - \sin t}{-a \cos^3 t} = \frac{\sin t - 1}{a \cos^3 t}$.

Solution

(D) Given $y = \log \left( \frac{\sqrt{x^2+1}-x}{\sqrt{x^2+1}+x} \right)$.
Rationalizing the denominator inside the logarithm:
$y = \log \left( \frac{(\sqrt{x^2+1}-x)^2}{(\sqrt{x^2+1}+x)(\sqrt{x^2+1}-x)} \right) = \log \left( \frac{(\sqrt{x^2+1}-x)^2}{(x^2+1)-x^2} \right) = \log (\sqrt{x^2+1}-x)^2$.
Using the property $\log(a^b) = b \log a$,we get $y = 2 \log(\sqrt{x^2+1}-x)$.
Differentiating with respect to $x$:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = 2 \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{x^2+1}-x} \cdot \left( \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x^2+1}} \cdot 2x - 1 \right)$.
$\frac{dy}{dx} = 2 \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{x^2+1}-x} \cdot \left( \frac{x-\sqrt{x^2+1}}{\sqrt{x^2+1}} \right)$.
$\frac{dy}{dx} = 2 \cdot \frac{-( \sqrt{x^2+1}-x )}{\sqrt{x^2+1}(\sqrt{x^2+1}-x)} = \frac{-2}{\sqrt{x^2+1}}$.

D

Solution

(B) Let $x^2 = \cos(2\theta)$,where $2\theta \in (0, \pi)$,so $\theta = \frac{1}{2} \cos^{-1}(x^2)$.
Then $\sqrt{1+x^2} = \sqrt{1+\cos(2\theta)} = \sqrt{2\cos^2\theta} = \sqrt{2}\cos\theta$ and $\sqrt{1-x^2} = \sqrt{1-\cos(2\theta)} = \sqrt{2\sin^2\theta} = \sqrt{2}\sin\theta$.
Substituting these into $f(x)$:
$f(x) = \operatorname{Tan}^{-1} \left[ \frac{\sqrt{2}\cos\theta + \sqrt{2}\sin\theta}{\sqrt{2}\cos\theta - \sqrt{2}\sin\theta} \right] = \operatorname{Tan}^{-1} \left[ \frac{\cos\theta + \sin\theta}{\cos\theta - \sin\theta} \right] = \operatorname{Tan}^{-1} \left[ \frac{1 + \tan\theta}{1 - \tan\theta} \right] = \operatorname{Tan}^{-1} [\tan(\frac{\pi}{4} + \theta)] = \frac{\pi}{4} + \theta$.
Substituting $\theta$ back: $f(x) = \frac{\pi}{4} + \frac{1}{2} \cos^{-1}(x^2)$.
Differentiating with respect to $x$:
$f'(x) = 0 + \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{-1}{\sqrt{1-(x^2)^2}} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(x^2) = \frac{-1}{2\sqrt{1-x^4}} \cdot 2x = \frac{-x}{\sqrt{1-x^4}}$.

B

C

D
$\frac{-x}{\sqrt{1-x^4}}$

Solution

(D) Let $x^2 = \cos(2\theta)$,so $2\theta = \cos^{-1}(x^2)$,which implies $\theta = \frac{1}{2} \cos^{-1}(x^2)$.
Then $\sqrt{1+x^2} = \sqrt{1+\cos(2\theta)} = \sqrt{2\cos^2(\theta)} = \sqrt{2}\cos(\theta)$ and $\sqrt{1-x^2} = \sqrt{1-\cos(2\theta)} = \sqrt{2\sin^2(\theta)} = \sqrt{2}\sin(\theta)$.
Substituting these into the expression for $y$:
$y = \operatorname{Tan}^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}\cos(\theta) + \sqrt{2}\sin(\theta)}{\sqrt{2}\cos(\theta) - \sqrt{2}\sin(\theta)}\right) = \operatorname{Tan}^{-1}\left(\frac{\cos(\theta) + \sin(\theta)}{\cos(\theta) - \sin(\theta)}\right)$.
Dividing numerator and denominator by $\cos(\theta)$:
$y = \operatorname{Tan}^{-1}\left(\frac{1 + \tan(\theta)}{1 - \tan(\theta)}\right) = \operatorname{Tan}^{-1}(\tan(\frac{\pi}{4} + \theta)) = \frac{\pi}{4} + \theta$.
Substituting $\theta = \frac{1}{2} \cos^{-1}(x^2)$:
$y = \frac{\pi}{4} + \frac{1}{2} \cos^{-1}(x^2)$.
Differentiating with respect to $x$:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = 0 + \frac{1}{2} \left(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-(x^2)^2}}\right) \cdot (2x) = -\frac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^4}}$.
Thus,the correct option is $D$.

Let $x = \cos 2\theta$,then $\theta = \frac{1}{2} \cos^{-1} x$.
Substituting $x = \cos 2\theta$ into the expression:
$y = \tan^{-1} \left\{ \frac{\cos 2\theta}{1 + \sin 2\theta} \right\} + \sin \left\{ 2 \tan^{-1} \sqrt{\frac{1 - \cos 2\theta}{1 + \cos 2\theta}} \right\}$
$y = \tan^{-1} \left\{ \frac{\cos^2 \theta - \sin^2 \theta}{(\cos \theta + \sin \theta)^2} \right\} + \sin \left\{ 2 \tan^{-1} (\tan \theta) \right\}$
$y = \tan^{-1} \left\{ \frac{\cos \theta - \sin \theta}{\cos \theta + \sin \theta} \right\} + \sin 2\theta$
$y = \tan^{-1} \left\{ \tan \left( \frac{\pi}{4} - \theta \right) \right\} + \sin 2\theta$
$y = \frac{\pi}{4} - \theta + \sin 2\theta$
Substituting $\theta = \frac{1}{2} \cos^{-1} x$ and $\sin 2\theta = \sqrt{1 - x^2}$:
$y = \frac{\pi}{4} - \frac{1}{2} \cos^{-1} x + \sqrt{1 - x^2}$
Differentiating with respect to $x$:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = 0 - \frac{1}{2} \left( -\frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - x^2}} \right) + \frac{1}{2\sqrt{1 - x^2}} (-2x)$
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{1 - x^2}} - \frac{x}{\sqrt{1 - x^2}} = \frac{1 - 2x}{2\sqrt{1 - x^2}}$.

Solution

(C) Given the equation $y = x \operatorname{Tan}^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{y}\right)$.
Divide by $x$: $\frac{y}{x} = \operatorname{Tan}^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{y}\right)$.
Let $v = \frac{y}{x}$,so $y = vx$. Then $\frac{x}{y} = \frac{1}{v}$.
The equation becomes $v = \operatorname{Tan}^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{v}\right)$,which implies $\tan(v) = \frac{1}{v}$,or $v \tan(v) = 1$.
However,differentiating $y = x \operatorname{Tan}^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{y}\right)$ with respect to $x$ using the product rule and chain rule:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \operatorname{Tan}^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{y}\right) + x \cdot \frac{1}{1 + (x/y)^2} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{x}{y}\right)$
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \operatorname{Tan}^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{y}\right) + x \cdot \frac{y^2}{x^2+y^2} \cdot \left(\frac{y - x \frac{dy}{dx}}{y^2}\right)$
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{y}{x} + \frac{x}{x^2+y^2} \cdot (y - x \frac{dy}{dx})$
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{y}{x} + \frac{xy}{x^2+y^2} - \frac{x^2}{x^2+y^2} \frac{dy}{dx}$
$\frac{dy}{dx} \left(1 + \frac{x^2}{x^2+y^2}\right) = \frac{y}{x} + \frac{xy}{x^2+y^2}$
$\frac{dy}{dx} \left(\frac{x^2+y^2+x^2}{x^2+y^2}\right) = \frac{y(x^2+y^2) + x^2y}{x(x^2+y^2)}$
$\frac{dy}{dx} \left(\frac{2x^2+y^2}{x^2+y^2}\right) = \frac{yx^2+y^3+x^2y}{x(x^2+y^2)} = \frac{2x^2y+y^3}{x(x^2+y^2)}$
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{y(2x^2+y^2)}{x(x^2+y^2)} \cdot \frac{x^2+y^2}{2x^2+y^2} = \frac{y}{x}$.

Solution

(D) Given,$y = \frac{\sinh^{-1} x}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}$

Solution

(C) Given the equation $a y^4 = (x + b)^5$.
Taking the natural logarithm on both sides: $\ln(a) + 4 \ln(y) = 5 \ln(x + b)$.
Differentiating with respect to $x$: $\frac{4}{y} \cdot \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{5}{x + b}$.
Thus,$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{5y}{4(x + b)}$.
Differentiating again with respect to $x$ using the quotient rule: $\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = \frac{5}{4} \cdot \frac{(x + b) \frac{dy}{dx} - y}{(x + b)^2}$.
Substitute $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{5y}{4(x + b)}$ into the expression: $\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = \frac{5}{4} \cdot \frac{(x + b) \cdot \frac{5y}{4(x + b)} - y}{(x + b)^2} = \frac{5}{4} \cdot \frac{\frac{5y}{4} - y}{(x + b)^2} = \frac{5}{4} \cdot \frac{y}{4(x + b)^2} = \frac{5y}{16(x + b)^2}$.
Now,calculate the ratio: $\frac{y \cdot (\frac{d^2y}{dx^2})}{(\frac{dy}{dx})^2} = \frac{y \cdot \frac{5y}{16(x + b)^2}}{(\frac{5y}{4(x + b)})^2} = \frac{\frac{5y^2}{16(x + b)^2}}{\frac{25y^2}{16(x + b)^2}} = \frac{5}{25} = \frac{1}{5}$.

(D) Given $y = a \cos(\log x) + b \sin(\log x)$.
Differentiating with respect to $x$:

$x y_1 = -a \sin(\log x) + b \cos(\log x)$.
Differentiating again with respect to $x$:
$x y_2 + y_1 = -a \cos(\log x) \cdot \frac{1}{x} - b \sin(\log x) \cdot \frac{1}{x}$
Multiply by $x$:
$x^2 y_2 + x y_1 = -[a \cos(\log x) + b \sin(\log x)]$
Since $y = a \cos(\log x) + b \sin(\log x)$,we have:
$x^2 y_2 + x y_1 = -y$.

If $ab \neq 0$,then the equation of the tangent at $(a, b)$ to the curve $\left(\frac{x}{a}\right)^n + \left(\frac{y}{b}\right)^n = 2$ is
A
$\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 1$
B
$ax + by = 1$
C
$\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 2$
D
$ax + by = 2n$

Solution

(C) Given the curve equation is $\left(\frac{x}{a}\right)^n + \left(\frac{y}{b}\right)^n = 2$.
To find the slope of the tangent at $(a, b)$,we differentiate both sides with respect to $x$:
$n\left(\frac{x}{a}\right)^{n-1} \cdot \frac{1}{a} + n\left(\frac{y}{b}\right)^{n-1} \cdot \frac{1}{b} \cdot \frac{dy}{dx} = 0$.
At the point $(a, b)$,we substitute $x = a$ and $y = b$:
$n(1)^{n-1} \cdot \frac{1}{a} + n(1)^{n-1} \cdot \frac{1}{b} \cdot \frac{dy}{dx} = 0$.
$\frac{n}{a} + \frac{n}{b} \cdot \frac{dy}{dx} = 0$.
$\frac{n}{b} \cdot \frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{n}{a} \implies \frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{b}{a}$.
The equation of the tangent line at $(a, b)$ with slope $m = -\frac{b}{a}$ is given by $y - b = m(x - a)$.
$y - b = -\frac{b}{a}(x - a)$.
$a(y - b) = -b(x - a)$.
$ay - ab = -bx + ab$.
$bx + ay = 2ab$.
Dividing both sides by $ab$,we get $\frac{bx}{ab} + \frac{ay}{ab} = \frac{2ab}{ab}$.
$\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 2$.
Thus,the correct option is $C$.

If the normal to the curve $x^{2/3} + y^{2/3} = a^{2/3}$ makes an angle $\phi$ with the $X$-axis,then the equation of that normal is
A
$y - a \sin^3 \phi = \tan \phi (x - a \cos^3 \phi)$
B
$y \cos \phi - x \sin \phi = a \cos 2 \phi$
C
$y \cos \phi - x \sin \phi = a \cos^2 \phi$
D
$y + a \sin^2 \phi = x \cos \phi - a \sin 2 \phi$

Solution

(B) The equation of the curve is $x^{2/3} + y^{2/3} = a^{2/3}$.
Parametric equations are $x = a \cos^3 \theta$ and $y = a \sin^3 \theta$.
The derivative $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{dy/d\theta}{dx/d\theta} = \frac{3a \sin^2 \theta \cos \theta}{-3a \cos^2 \theta \sin \theta} = -\tan \theta$.
The slope of the tangent is $m_T = -\tan \theta$.
The slope of the normal is $m_N = \frac{-1}{m_T} = \cot \theta$.
Given that the normal makes an angle $\phi$ with the $X$-axis,its slope is $\tan \phi$.
Thus,$\tan \phi = \cot \theta = \tan(\frac{\pi}{2} - \theta)$,which implies $\phi = \frac{\pi}{2} - \theta$,or $\theta = \frac{\pi}{2} - \phi$.
Substituting $\theta$ into the parametric coordinates: $x = a \cos^3(\frac{\pi}{2} - \phi) = a \sin^3 \phi$ and $y = a \sin^3(\frac{\pi}{2} - \phi) = a \cos^3 \phi$.
The equation of the normal at $(a \sin^3 \phi, a \cos^3 \phi)$ with slope $\tan \phi$ is:
$y - a \cos^3 \phi = \tan \phi (x - a \sin^3 \phi)$
$y \cos \phi - a \cos^4 \phi = x \sin \phi - a \sin^4 \phi$
$y \cos \phi - x \sin \phi = a (\cos^4 \phi - \sin^4 \phi)$
$y \cos \phi - x \sin \phi = a (\cos^2 \phi - \sin^2 \phi)(\cos^2 \phi + \sin^2 \phi)$
$y \cos \phi - x \sin \phi = a \cos 2 \phi$.

An angle between the curves $x^2=3y$ and $x^2+y^2=4$ is
A
$\tan ^{-1} \frac{5}{\sqrt{3}}$
B
$\tan ^{-1} \sqrt{\frac{5}{3}}$
C
$\tan ^{-1} \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$
D
$\frac{\pi}{3}$

Solution

(A) Given curves are:
$x^2 = 3y \quad ...(i)$
$x^2 + y^2 = 4 \quad ...(ii)$
Substituting $x^2 = 3y$ into equation $(ii)$,we get:
$3y + y^2 = 4$
$y^2 + 3y - 4 = 0$
$(y + 4)(y - 1) = 0$
Since $x^2 = 3y$,$y$ must be non-negative,so $y = 1$.
Substituting $y = 1$ into $x^2 = 3y$,we get $x^2 = 3$,so $x = \pm \sqrt{3}$.
Thus,the points of intersection are $(\sqrt{3}, 1)$ and $(-\sqrt{3}, 1)$.
Now,differentiating the curves with respect to $x$:
For $(i)$,$2x = 3 \frac{dy}{dx} \implies \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2x}{3}$.
For $(ii)$,$2x + 2y \frac{dy}{dx} = 0 \implies \frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{x}{y}$.
At the point $(\sqrt{3}, 1)$:
$m_1 = \frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$
$m_2 = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{1} = -\sqrt{3}$
The angle $\theta$ between the curves is given by:
$\tan \theta = \left| \frac{m_1 - m_2}{1 + m_1 m_2} \right| = \left| \frac{\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} - (-\sqrt{3})}{1 + (\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}})(-\sqrt{3})} \right|$
$\tan \theta = \left| \frac{\frac{2 + 3}{\sqrt{3}}}{1 - 2} \right| = \left| \frac{5/\sqrt{3}}{-1} \right| = \frac{5}{\sqrt{3}}$
Therefore,$\theta = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{5}{\sqrt{3}} \right)$.

An angle between the curves $x^2 y = 1$ and $y(x^2 + 1) = 2$ is
A
$\operatorname{Tan}^{-1} \frac{8}{9}$
B
$\operatorname{Tan}^{-1} 2$
C
$\operatorname{Tan}^{-1} \frac{1}{2}$
D
$\operatorname{Tan}^{-1} \frac{1}{3}$

Solution

(D) Given curves are $C_1: x^2 y = 1$ and $C_2: y(x^2 + 1) = 2$.
First,find the intersection points by substituting $y = 1/x^2$ into the second equation: $(1/x^2)(x^2 + 1) = 2 \implies 1 + 1/x^2 = 2 \implies 1/x^2 = 1 \implies x^2 = 1 \implies x = \pm 1$.
For $x = 1$,$y = 1$. For $x = -1$,$y = 1$. Intersection points are $(1, 1)$ and $(-1, 1)$.
For $C_1$,$y = x^{-2} \implies dy/dx = -2x^{-3} = -2/x^3$. At $(1, 1)$,$m_1 = -2$.
For $C_2$,$y = 2/(x^2 + 1) \implies dy/dx = -2(2x)/(x^2 + 1)^2 = -4x/(x^2 + 1)^2$. At $(1, 1)$,$m_2 = -4(1)/(1+1)^2 = -4/4 = -1$.
The angle $\theta$ between the curves is given by $\tan \theta = |(m_1 - m_2) / (1 + m_1 m_2)|$.
$\tan \theta = |(-2 - (-1)) / (1 + (-2)(-1))| = |-1 / (1 + 2)| = |-1/3| = 1/3$.
Thus,$\theta = \operatorname{Tan}^{-1}(1/3)$.

The radius (in $cm$) of the right circular cylinder of greatest curved surface area which can be inscribed in a given cone with radius $10 \ cm$ is
A
$2.5$
B
$5$
C
$10$
D
$7.5$

Solution

(B) Let the radius of the cone be $R = 10 \ cm$ and its height be $H$. Let the radius of the inscribed cylinder be $r$ and its height be $h$.
By similar triangles,$\frac{H-h}{r} = \frac{H}{R}$,which implies $h = H(1 - \frac{r}{R})$.
The curved surface area $S$ of the cylinder is $S = 2\pi rh = 2\pi r H(1 - \frac{r}{R}) = 2\pi H(r - \frac{r^2}{R})$.
To maximize $S$,we differentiate with respect to $r$ and set to zero: $\frac{dS}{dr} = 2\pi H(1 - \frac{2r}{R}) = 0$.
This gives $1 - \frac{2r}{R} = 0$,so $r = \frac{R}{2}$.
Given $R = 10 \ cm$,we have $r = \frac{10}{2} = 5 \ cm$.

Each edge of a cube is expanding at the rate of $1 \text{ cm/sec}$. Then the rate (in $\text{cc/sec}$) of change in its volume,when each of its edge is of length $5 \text{ cm}$,is
A
$25$
B
$75$
C
$125$
D
$175$

Solution

(B) Let $x$ be the length of the edge of the cube and $V$ be its volume.
Given that the rate of change of the edge length is $\frac{dx}{dt} = 1 \text{ cm/sec}$.
The volume of a cube is given by $V = x^3$.
Differentiating both sides with respect to time $t$,we get $\frac{dV}{dt} = 3x^2 \frac{dx}{dt}$.
When the edge length $x = 5 \text{ cm}$,we substitute the values into the derivative:
$\frac{dV}{dt} = 3(5)^2(1) = 3 \times 25 \times 1 = 75 \text{ cc/sec}$.
Thus,the rate of change of volume is $75 \text{ cc/sec}$.

$A$ particle is moving along a line according to the law $S = t^3 - 3t^2 + 4t - 2$,where $S$ is measured in meters and $t$ is measured in seconds. Then the velocity (in $m/s$) of the particle when its acceleration is zero is:
A
$2$
B
$1/4$
C
$17/4$
D
$1$

Solution

(D) Given the position function $S(t) = t^3 - 3t^2 + 4t - 2$.
Velocity $v(t)$ is the derivative of $S(t)$ with respect to $t$:
$v(t) = \frac{dS}{dt} = 3t^2 - 6t + 4$.
Acceleration $a(t)$ is the derivative of $v(t)$ with respect to $t$:
$a(t) = \frac{dv}{dt} = 6t - 6$.
Set acceleration to zero to find the time $t$:
$6t - 6 = 0 \implies t = 1 \text{ second}$.
Now,substitute $t = 1$ into the velocity function:
$v(1) = 3(1)^2 - 6(1) + 4 = 3 - 6 + 4 = 1 \text{ m/s}$.
Thus,the velocity of the particle when its acceleration is zero is $1 \text{ m/s}$.

If the rate of change of $x$ is more than the rate of change of $y$ on the curve $x^3 = 12y$ for $x > 0$,then $x$ lies in the interval:
A
$(-2, 0) \cup (0, 2)$
B
$(-2, 2)$
C
$[3, \infty)$
D
$(0, 2)$

Solution

(D) Given the curve $x^3 = 12y$. Differentiating both sides with respect to time $t$,we get:
$3x^2 \frac{dx}{dt} = 12 \frac{dy}{dt}$
$\frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{3x^2}{12} \frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{x^2}{4} \frac{dx}{dt}$
Given that the rate of change of $x$ is more than the rate of change of $y$,i.e.,$\frac{dx}{dt} > \frac{dy}{dt}$.
Substituting the value of $\frac{dy}{dt}$:
$\frac{dx}{dt} > \frac{x^2}{4} \frac{dx}{dt}$
Since $x > 0$,$\frac{dx}{dt}$ is positive (assuming $x$ is increasing),so we can divide by $\frac{dx}{dt}$:
$1 > \frac{x^2}{4}$
$x^2 < 4$
$|x| < 2$
Since the condition $x > 0$ is given,the interval for $x$ is $(0, 2)$.

A
$\frac{3}{4 \pi}$
B
$\frac{2}{9 \pi}$
C
$16 \pi$
D
$2 \pi$

Solution

(A) Let $V$ be the volume,$r$ be the radius,and $h$ be the height of the water in the inverted cone at any time $t$.
Given,$\frac{dV}{dt} = 3 \ m^3/min$.
The volume of the cone is $V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h$.
From the similarity of triangles in the cone,we have $\frac{r}{h} = \frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3}$,which implies $r = \frac{2}{3}h$.
Substituting $r$ in the volume formula:
$V = \frac{1}{3} \pi \left(\frac{2}{3}h\right)^2 h = \frac{1}{3} \pi \left(\frac{4}{9}h^2\right) h = \frac{4}{27} \pi h^3$.
Differentiating with respect to $t$:
$\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{4}{27} \pi (3h^2) \frac{dh}{dt} = \frac{4}{9} \pi h^2 \frac{dh}{dt}$.
Given $\frac{dV}{dt} = 3$ and we need to find $\frac{dh}{dt}$ when $h = 3 \ m$:
$3 = \frac{4}{9} \pi (3)^2 \frac{dh}{dt}$
$3 = \frac{4}{9} \pi (9) \frac{dh}{dt}$
$3 = 4 \pi \frac{dh}{dt}$
$\frac{dh}{dt} = \frac{3}{4 \pi} \ m/min$.

The value of $c$ for which the Lagrange's Mean Value Theorem $(LMVT)$ is applicable for the function $f(x) = x(x+3)(x-2)$ in the interval $[-1, 4]$ is:
A
$\frac{4}{3}$
B
$\frac{8}{3}$
C
$2$
D
$\frac{-8}{3}$

Solution

(C) Given function: $f(x) = x(x+3)(x-2) = x(x^2 + x - 6) = x^3 + x^2 - 6x$.
Since $f(x)$ is a polynomial,it is continuous on $[-1, 4]$ and differentiable on $(-1, 4)$.
According to $LMVT$,there exists at least one $c \in (-1, 4)$ such that $f'(c) = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}$.
Here,$a = -1$ and $b = 4$.
$f(-1) = (-1)(-1+3)(-1-2) = (-1)(2)(-3) = 6$.
$f(4) = (4)(4+3)(4-2) = (4)(7)(2) = 56$.
$f'(x) = 3x^2 + 2x - 6$.
So,$f'(c) = 3c^2 + 2c - 6$.
Applying the formula: $3c^2 + 2c - 6 = \frac{56 - 6}{4 - (-1)} = \frac{50}{5} = 10$.
$3c^2 + 2c - 16 = 0$.
Using the quadratic formula $c = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$:
$c = \frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{4 - 4(3)(-16)}}{2(3)} = \frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{4 + 192}}{6} = \frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{196}}{6} = \frac{-2 \pm 14}{6}$.
Two possible values: $c_1 = \frac{12}{6} = 2$ and $c_2 = \frac{-16}{6} = -\frac{8}{3}$.
Since $c \in (-1, 4)$,we reject $c = -\frac{8}{3}$ and accept $c = 2$.

A
increasing in $\left[-\frac{1}{2}, 1\right]$
B
decreasing in $\left[-\frac{1}{2}, 1\right]$
C
increasing in $R$
D
decreasing in $R$

Solution

(A) Given the function $f(x) = x \cdot e^{x-x^2}$.
To find the intervals of increase or decrease,we find the derivative $f'(x)$.
Using the product rule and chain rule: $f'(x) = 1 \cdot e^{x-x^2} + x \cdot e^{x-x^2} \cdot (1-2x)$.
$f'(x) = e^{x-x^2} [1 + x(1-2x)] = e^{x-x^2} (1 + x - 2x^2)$.
Factor the quadratic expression: $1 + x - 2x^2 = -(2x^2 - x - 1) = -(2x+1)(x-1) = (2x+1)(1-x)$.
So,$f'(x) = e^{x-x^2} (2x+1)(1-x)$.
For the function to be increasing,$f'(x) \geq 0$.
Since $e^{x-x^2} > 0$ for all $x \in R$,the sign of $f'(x)$ depends on $(2x+1)(1-x)$.
$(2x+1)(1-x) \geq 0$ implies $-\frac{1}{2} \leq x \leq 1$.
Thus,the function is increasing in the interval $\left[-\frac{1}{2}, 1\right]$.

Let a kind of bacteria grow following the function $f(t) = t^4$,where $t$ is given in seconds. If the rate of growth of the bacteria after $t_0$ seconds is $4000 \text{ units/second}$,then $t_0 =$
A
$0$
B
$10$
C
$20$
D
$30$

Solution

(B) The growth function of the bacteria is given by $f(t) = t^4$.
To find the rate of growth,we calculate the derivative of $f(t)$ with respect to time $t$:
$f'(t) = \frac{d}{dt}(t^4) = 4t^3$.
We are given that the rate of growth at $t = t_0$ is $4000 \text{ units/second}$.
Therefore,$f'(t_0) = 4t_0^3 = 4000$.
Dividing both sides by $4$,we get $t_0^3 = 1000$.
Taking the cube root of both sides,$t_0 = \sqrt[3]{1000} = 10$.
Thus,$t_0 = 10$ seconds.

A
$1$
B
$2^{1/3}$
C
$2$
D
$3^{1/3}$

Solution

(C) To find the greatest value of $f(x) = (x+1)^{1/3} - (x-1)^{1/3}$ on $[0, 1]$,we find the derivative $f'(x)$.
$f'(x) = \frac{1}{3}(x+1)^{-2/3} - \frac{1}{3}(x-1)^{-2/3} = \frac{1}{3} \left[ \frac{1}{(x+1)^{2/3}} - \frac{1}{(x-1)^{2/3}} \right]$.
Setting $f'(x) = 0$,we get $(x-1)^{2/3} = (x+1)^{2/3}$,which implies $|x-1| = |x+1|$.
Squaring both sides,$(x-1)^2 = (x+1)^2$,so $x^2 - 2x + 1 = x^2 + 2x + 1$,which gives $4x = 0$,so $x = 0$.
Now,we evaluate $f(x)$ at the critical point $x=0$ and the endpoints $x=0$ and $x=1$.
At $x=0$,$f(0) = (0+1)^{1/3} - (0-1)^{1/3} = 1 - (-1) = 2$.
At $x=1$,$f(1) = (1+1)^{1/3} - (1-1)^{1/3} = 2^{1/3} - 0 = 2^{1/3}$.
Comparing $f(0) = 2$ and $f(1) = 2^{1/3} \approx 1.26$,the greatest value is $2$.

A
$\frac{3 \sqrt{3}}{32}$
B
$\frac{7 \sqrt{3}}{32}$
C
$\frac{5 \sqrt{3}}{32}$
D
$\frac{3 \sqrt{3}}{16}$

Solution

(A) The area $A$ of a triangle with vertices $(0,0)$,$(x_1, y_1)$,and $(x_2, y_2)$ is given by $A = \frac{1}{2} |x_1 y_2 - x_2 y_1|$.
Here,the vertices are $(0,0)$,$(x, \cos x)$,and $(\sin^3 x, 0)$.
Thus,$A(x) = \frac{1}{2} |x(0) - (\sin^3 x)(\cos x)| = \frac{1}{2} \sin^3 x \cos x$ for $x \in (0, \frac{\pi}{2})$.
To find the maximum,we differentiate $A(x)$ with respect to $x$:
$A'(x) = \frac{1}{2} [3 \sin^2 x \cos x \cdot \cos x + \sin^3 x (-\sin x)] = \frac{1}{2} [3 \sin^2 x \cos^2 x - \sin^4 x]$.
Setting $A'(x) = 0$,we get $3 \sin^2 x \cos^2 x = \sin^4 x$.
Since $\sin x \neq 0$,we have $3 \cos^2 x = \sin^2 x$,which implies $\tan^2 x = 3$,so $\tan x = \sqrt{3}$ (since $x \in (0, \frac{\pi}{2})$).
Thus,$x = \frac{\pi}{3}$.
At $x = \frac{\pi}{3}$,$\sin x = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ and $\cos x = \frac{1}{2}$.
Substituting these values into $A(x)$:
$A = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2})^3 (\frac{1}{2}) = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{3 \sqrt{3}}{8}) (\frac{1}{2}) = \frac{3 \sqrt{3}}{32}$.

C
$r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{V}{\pi}}, h=\sqrt[3]{\frac{V}{\pi}}$
D
$r=\sqrt{\frac{V}{\pi}}, h=\sqrt{\frac{V}{\pi}}$

Solution

(C) Given that the volume of the cylindrical vessel is $V$ and it has no lid on the top.
Let $r$ be the radius and $h$ be the height of the cylinder.
The volume of the cylinder is given by $V = \pi r^2 h$,which implies $h = \frac{V}{\pi r^2}$.
The surface area $S$ of the metal sheet used (including the base but no lid) is given by:
$S = 2\pi rh + \pi r^2$
Substituting $h = \frac{V}{\pi r^2}$ into the expression for $S$:
$S(r) = 2\pi r \left(\frac{V}{\pi r^2}\right) + \pi r^2 = \frac{2V}{r} + \pi r^2$
To find the minimum surface area,we differentiate $S(r)$ with respect to $r$ and set it to zero:
$S'(r) = -\frac{2V}{r^2} + 2\pi r = 0$
$2\pi r = \frac{2V}{r^2} \Rightarrow r^3 = \frac{V}{\pi} \Rightarrow r = \sqrt[3]{\frac{V}{\pi}}$
Now,substitute $r$ back into the expression for $h$:
$h = \frac{V}{\pi r^2} = \frac{V}{\pi (V/\pi)^{2/3}} = \frac{V}{\pi} \cdot \left(\frac{\pi}{V}\right)^{2/3} = \left(\frac{V}{\pi}\right)^{1/3} = \sqrt[3]{\frac{V}{\pi}}$
Thus,the radius and height for minimum surface area are $r = \sqrt[3]{\frac{V}{\pi}}$ and $h = \sqrt[3]{\frac{V}{\pi}}$.

Solution

(B) Let $R(x)$ be the revenue function and $C(x)$ be the cost function.
Revenue $R(x) = x \times \left(5 - \frac{x}{100}\right) = 5x - \frac{x^2}{100}$.
Profit function $P(x) = R(x) - C(x) = \left(5x - \frac{x^2}{100}\right) - \left(\frac{x}{5} + 500\right)$.
$P(x) = 5x - \frac{x^2}{100} - \frac{x}{5} - 500 = 4.8x - \frac{x^2}{100} - 500$.
To find the maximum profit,we find the derivative $P'(x)$ and set it to $0$.
$P'(x) = 4.8 - \frac{2x}{100} = 4.8 - \frac{x}{50}$.
Setting $P'(x) = 0$,we get $4.8 = \frac{x}{50}$,which implies $x = 4.8 \times 50 = 240$.
To verify,we check the second derivative $P''(x) = -\frac{1}{50}$.
Since $P''(x) < 0$,the profit is maximum at $x = 240$.

At any point for the curve $3y^2 = (x+5)^3$,if $ST$ represents the length of the subtangent and $SN$ represents the length of the subnormal,then $9(ST)^2 = $
A
$8 SN$
B
$\frac{8}{3} SN$
C
$27 SN$
D
$8(SN)^2$

Solution

(A) Given the curve $3y^2 = (x+5)^3$.
Differentiating with respect to $x$,we get $6y \frac{dy}{dx} = 3(x+5)^2$,which implies $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{(x+5)^2}{2y}$.
The length of the subtangent $ST = |\frac{y}{dy/dx}| = |\frac{y}{(x+5)^2 / 2y}| = |\frac{2y^2}{(x+5)^2}|$.
Substituting $y^2 = \frac{(x+5)^3}{3}$,we get $ST = |\frac{2(x+5)^3}{3(x+5)^2}| = |\frac{2(x+5)}{3}|$.
Thus,$(ST)^2 = \frac{4(x+5)^2}{9}$,so $9(ST)^2 = 4(x+5)^2$.
The length of the subnormal $SN = |y \frac{dy}{dx}| = |y \cdot \frac{(x+5)^2}{2y}| = |\frac{(x+5)^2}{2}|$.
Therefore,$8 SN = 8 \cdot \frac{(x+5)^2}{2} = 4(x+5)^2$.
Comparing the two results,we find $9(ST)^2 = 8 SN$.

Lagrange's Mean Value Theorem $(LMVT)$ is not applicable in the interval $[0, 1]$ to which of the following functions?
A
$f(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{1}{2} - x, & x < \frac{1}{2} \\ (\frac{1}{2} - x)^2, & x \geq \frac{1}{2} \end{cases}$
B
$f(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{\sin x}{x}, & x \neq 0 \\ 1, & x = 0 \end{cases}$
C
$f(x) = x|x|$
D
$f(x) = |x|$

Solution

(D) For Lagrange's Mean Value Theorem $(LMVT)$ to be applicable on $[a, b]$,the function $f(x)$ must be:
$1$. Continuous on $[a, b]$.
$2$. Differentiable on $(a, b)$.
Let us analyze the options for the interval $[0, 1]$:
- Option $A$: The function is continuous at $x = 1/2$ because $\lim_{x \to 1/2^-} (1/2 - x) = 0$ and $f(1/2) = (1/2 - 1/2)^2 = 0$. It is differentiable everywhere.
- Option $B$: The function is continuous at $x = 0$ because $\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin x}{x} = 1 = f(0)$. It is differentiable everywhere.
- Option $C$: $f(x) = x|x|$ is continuous and differentiable for all $x \in \mathbb{R}$.
- Option $D$: $f(x) = |x|$. At $x = 0$,the left-hand derivative is $-1$ and the right-hand derivative is $1$. Since the left-hand derivative $\neq$ right-hand derivative,the function is not differentiable at $x = 0$. Since $0 \in [0, 1]$,$LMVT$ is not applicable to $f(x) = |x|$ on $[0, 1]$.

The constant $c$ of Rolle's theorem for the function $f(x)=(x-1)^3(x-2)^5$ in the interval $[1, 2]$ is:
A
$\frac{3}{2}$
B
$\frac{11}{6}$
C
$\frac{13}{8}$
D
$\frac{11}{8}$

Solution

(D) For Rolle's theorem to be applicable,$f(x)$ must be continuous on $[1, 2]$,differentiable on $(1, 2)$,and $f(1) = f(2)$.
Here,$f(1) = (1-1)^3(1-2)^5 = 0$ and $f(2) = (2-1)^3(2-2)^5 = 0$. Since $f(1) = f(2) = 0$,Rolle's theorem applies.
We need to find $c \in (1, 2)$ such that $f'(c) = 0$.
Using the product rule: $f'(x) = 3(x-1)^2(x-2)^5 + 5(x-1)^3(x-2)^4$.
Factor out common terms: $f'(x) = (x-1)^2(x-2)^4 [3(x-2) + 5(x-1)]$.
$f'(x) = (x-1)^2(x-2)^4 [3x - 6 + 5x - 5] = (x-1)^2(x-2)^4 (8x - 11)$.
Setting $f'(c) = 0$ for $c \in (1, 2)$:
$(c-1)^2(c-2)^4 (8c - 11) = 0$.
Since $c \neq 1$ and $c \neq 2$,we must have $8c - 11 = 0$,which gives $c = \frac{11}{8}$.

For the function $f(x)=(x-1)(x-2)$ defined on $\left[0, \frac{1}{2}\right]$,the value of $c$ satisfying Lagrange's mean value theorem is
A
$\frac{1}{5}$
B
$\frac{1}{3}$
C
$\frac{1}{7}$
D
$\frac{1}{4}$

Solution

(D) Given function is $f(x) = (x-1)(x-2) = x^2 - 3x + 2$ on the interval $[0, 1/2]$.
According to Lagrange's Mean Value Theorem,there exists at least one $c \in (0, 1/2)$ such that $f'(c) = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}$.
Here,$a = 0$ and $b = 1/2$.
Calculate $f(a) = f(0) = (0-1)(0-2) = 2$.
Calculate $f(b) = f(1/2) = (1/2 - 1)(1/2 - 2) = (-1/2)(-3/2) = 3/4$.
Calculate $f'(x) = 2x - 3$,so $f'(c) = 2c - 3$.
Substitute these into the formula: $2c - 3 = \frac{3/4 - 2}{1/2 - 0}$.
$2c - 3 = \frac{-5/4}{1/2} = -5/2$.
$2c = 3 - 5/2 = 1/2$.
$c = 1/4$.
Since $1/4 \in (0, 1/2)$,the value of $c$ is $1/4$.

D

Solution

(C) Let $I = \int \frac{1}{x \sqrt{x^6+1}} \, dx$.
Multiply the numerator and denominator by $x^2$:
$I = \int \frac{x^2}{x^3 \sqrt{(x^3)^2+1}} \, dx$.
Let $u = x^3$,then $du = 3x^2 \, dx$,which implies $x^2 \, dx = \frac{du}{3}$.
Substituting these into the integral:
$I = \frac{1}{3} \int \frac{du}{u \sqrt{u^2+1}}$.
Using the standard integral formula $\int \frac{du}{u \sqrt{u^2+a^2}} = -\frac{1}{a} \ln \left| \frac{a + \sqrt{u^2+a^2}}{u} \right| + C = -\frac{1}{a} \operatorname{Sinh}^{-1} \left( \frac{a}{u} \right) + C$:
$I = \frac{1}{3} \left( -\operatorname{Sinh}^{-1} \left( \frac{1}{u} \right) \right) + C = -\frac{1}{3} \operatorname{Sinh}^{-1} \left( \frac{1}{x^3} \right) + C$.

D
$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{\tan x+1}{\sqrt{2 \tan x}}\right)+c$

Solution

(A) Let $I = \int (\sqrt{\tan x} + \sqrt{\cot x}) dx = \int \frac{\tan x + 1}{\sqrt{\tan x}} dx$.
Substitute $\tan x = t^2$,then $\sec^2 x dx = 2t dt$.
Since $\sec^2 x = 1 + \tan^2 x = 1 + t^4$,we have $dx = \frac{2t}{1+t^4} dt$.
Thus,$I = \int \frac{t^2 + 1}{t} \cdot \frac{2t}{1+t^4} dt = 2 \int \frac{t^2 + 1}{t^4 + 1} dt$.
Divide numerator and denominator by $t^2$: $I = 2 \int \frac{1 + 1/t^2}{t^2 + 1/t^2} dt = 2 \int \frac{1 + 1/t^2}{(t - 1/t)^2 + 2} dt$.
Let $u = t - 1/t$,then $du = (1 + 1/t^2) dt$.
$I = 2 \int \frac{du}{u^2 + (\sqrt{2})^2} = 2 \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{u}{\sqrt{2}}\right) + c = \sqrt{2} \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{t - 1/t}{\sqrt{2}}\right) + c$.
Substituting $t = \sqrt{\tan x}$,we get $I = \sqrt{2} \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{\tan x - 1}{\sqrt{2 \tan x}}\right) + c$.

$\int \frac{1-x^7}{x(1+x^7)} dx = a \ln |x| + b \ln |x^7+1| + c \Rightarrow (a, b) = $
A
$(1, 2/7)$
B
$(1, -7/2)$
C
$(1, -2/7)$
D
$(2, -2/7)$

Solution

(C) We have the integral $I = \int \frac{1-x^7}{x(1+x^7)} dx$.
Multiply the numerator and denominator by $x^6$ to simplify the expression:
$I = \int \frac{x^6(1-x^7)}{x^7(1+x^7)} dx$.
Let $u = x^7$,then $du = 7x^6 dx$,which implies $x^6 dx = \frac{du}{7}$.
Substituting these into the integral:
$I = \int \frac{1-u}{u(1+u)} \cdot \frac{du}{7} = \frac{1}{7} \int \frac{1-u}{u(1+u)} du$.
Using partial fractions: $\frac{1-u}{u(1+u)} = \frac{A}{u} + \frac{B}{1+u}$.
$1-u = A(1+u) + Bu$.
For $u=0$,$A=1$.
For $u=-1$,$1-(-1) = B(-1) \Rightarrow B = -2$.
So,$I = \frac{1}{7} \int (\frac{1}{u} - \frac{2}{1+u}) du = \frac{1}{7} (\ln |u| - 2 \ln |1+u|) + C$.
Substituting $u = x^7$ back:
$I = \frac{1}{7} \ln |x^7| - \frac{2}{7} \ln |x^7+1| + C = \frac{7}{7} \ln |x| - \frac{2}{7} \ln |x^7+1| + C = 1 \ln |x| - \frac{2}{7} \ln |x^7+1| + C$.
Comparing this with $a \ln |x| + b \ln |x^7+1| + c$,we get $a = 1$ and $b = -2/7$.

$2 \log_e(1+e^x) - x + c$
C
$\log_e(1+e^x) + x + c$
D
$\log_e(1+e^x) - x + c$

Solution

(B) Let $I = \int \frac{e^x-1}{e^x+1} dx$.
We can rewrite the integrand as: $I = \int \frac{(e^x+1)-2}{e^x+1} dx$.
This simplifies to: $I = \int (1 - \frac{2}{e^x+1}) dx = \int 1 dx - 2 \int \frac{1}{e^x+1} dx$.
To integrate $\int \frac{1}{e^x+1} dx$,multiply the numerator and denominator by $e^{-x}$:
$I = x - 2 \int \frac{e^{-x}}{1+e^{-x}} dx$.
Let $t = 1+e^{-x}$,then $dt = -e^{-x} dx$,which implies $e^{-x} dx = -dt$.
Substituting these into the integral:
$I = x - 2 \int \frac{-dt}{t} = x + 2 \int \frac{1}{t} dt$.
$I = x + 2 \log_e|t| + c = x + 2 \log_e(1+e^{-x}) + c$.
Since $1+e^{-x} = \frac{e^x+1}{e^x}$,we have:
$I = x + 2 \log_e(\frac{e^x+1}{e^x}) + c = x + 2 \log_e(e^x+1) - 2 \log_e(e^x) + c$.
$I = x + 2 \log_e(e^x+1) - 2x + c = 2 \log_e(e^x+1) - x + c$.

$2(x \sin^{-1} x - \sqrt{1-x^2}) + c$

Solution

(C) Let $I = \int \cos^{-1}(2x^2-1) \, dx$.
Substitute $x = \cos \theta$,then $dx = -\sin \theta \, d\theta$.
The integral becomes $I = \int \cos^{-1}(2 \cos^2 \theta - 1) \cdot (-\sin \theta) \, d\theta$.
Using the identity $\cos 2\theta = 2 \cos^2 \theta - 1$,we get $I = \int \cos^{-1}(\cos 2\theta) \cdot (-\sin \theta) \, d\theta = \int 2\theta \cdot (-\sin \theta) \, d\theta = -2 \int \theta \sin \theta \, d\theta$.
Using integration by parts,$\int u \, dv = uv - \int v \, du$,where $u = \theta$ and $dv = \sin \theta \, d\theta$:
$I = -2 [\theta(-\cos \theta) - \int (-\cos \theta) \, d\theta] = -2 [-\theta \cos \theta + \sin \theta] + c = 2\theta \cos \theta - 2 \sin \theta + c$.
Since $x = \cos \theta$,then $\theta = \cos^{-1} x$ and $\sin \theta = \sqrt{1 - \cos^2 \theta} = \sqrt{1-x^2}$.
Substituting these back,$I = 2x \cos^{-1} x - 2\sqrt{1-x^2} + c = 2(x \cos^{-1} x - \sqrt{1-x^2}) + c$.

Solution

(A) Let $I = \int \frac{dx}{x(x^2+1)^3}$. Multiply numerator and denominator by $x$:
$I = \int \frac{x dx}{x^2(x^2+1)^3}$.
Let $x^2 = t$,then $2x dx = dt$,so $x dx = \frac{dt}{2}$.
$I = \frac{1}{2} \int \frac{dt}{t(t+1)^3}$.
Using partial fractions: $\frac{1}{t(t+1)^3} = \frac{A}{t} + \frac{B}{t+1} + \frac{C}{(t+1)^2} + \frac{D}{(t+1)^3}$.
Solving for constants: $A=1, B=-1, C=-1, D=-1$.
$I = \frac{1}{2} [\int \frac{1}{t} dt - \int \frac{1}{t+1} dt - \int \frac{1}{(t+1)^2} dt - \int \frac{1}{(t+1)^3} dt]$.
$I = \frac{1}{2} [\log|t| - \log|t+1| + \frac{1}{t+1} + \frac{1}{2(t+1)^2}] + c$.
Substituting $t = x^2$:
$I = \frac{1}{2} \log \frac{x^2}{x^2+1} + \frac{1}{2(x^2+1)} + \frac{1}{4(x^2+1)^2} + c$.

Substitute $x^{1/3} = t$. Then $x = t^3$,which implies $dx = 3t^2 dt$.
Substituting these into the integral:
$I = \int \frac{3t^2 dt}{(t^2)(1+t^2)} = \int \frac{3 dt}{1+t^2}$.
The integral of $\frac{1}{1+t^2}$ is $\tan^{-1}(t)$.
Therefore,$I = 3 \tan^{-1}(t) + c$.

Solution

(C) Let $I = \int \frac{dx}{1-2a \cos x + a^2}$.
Using the identity $\cos x = \frac{1-\tan^2(x/2)}{1+\tan^2(x/2)}$,we have:
$I = \int \frac{dx}{1-2a \left(\frac{1-\tan^2(x/2)}{1+\tan^2(x/2)}\right) + a^2} = \int \frac{\sec^2(x/2) dx}{(1+a^2)(1+\tan^2(x/2)) - 2a(1-\tan^2(x/2))}$.
Let $t = \tan(x/2)$,then $dt = \frac{1}{2} \sec^2(x/2) dx$,so $\sec^2(x/2) dx = 2 dt$.
$I = \int \frac{2 dt}{(1+a^2)(1+t^2) - 2a(1-t^2)} = \int \frac{2 dt}{1+a^2+t^2+a^2t^2-2a+2at^2} = \int \frac{2 dt}{(1-a)^2 + t^2(1+a)^2}$.
$I = \frac{2}{(1+a)^2} \int \frac{dt}{\left(\frac{1-a}{1+a}\right)^2 + t^2}$.
Using $\int \frac{dx}{k^2+x^2} = \frac{1}{k} \tan^{-1}(\frac{x}{k})$,we get:

$3 \sqrt{6+x-2x^2} - \frac{13}{2\sqrt{2}} \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{4x-1}{7}\right) + c$

Solution

(A) Let $I = \int \frac{6x+5}{\sqrt{6+x-2x^2}} dx$.
We express the numerator as $6x+5 = A \frac{d}{dx}(6+x-2x^2) + B$.
$6x+5 = A(1-4x) + B = -4Ax + (A+B)$.
Comparing coefficients,$-4A = 6 \implies A = -\frac{3}{2}$ and $A+B = 5 \implies B = 5 + \frac{3}{2} = \frac{13}{2}$.
So,$I = \int \frac{-\frac{3}{2}(1-4x) + \frac{13}{2}}{\sqrt{6+x-2x^2}} dx = -\frac{3}{2} \int \frac{1-4x}{\sqrt{6+x-2x^2}} dx + \frac{13}{2} \int \frac{dx}{\sqrt{6+x-2x^2}}$.
For the first part,let $u = 6+x-2x^2$,then $du = (1-4x)dx$.
Integral becomes $-\frac{3}{2} \int u^{-1/2} du = -\frac{3}{2} (2\sqrt{u}) = -3\sqrt{6+x-2x^2}$.
For the second part,$\int \frac{dx}{\sqrt{6+x-2x^2}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \int \frac{dx}{\sqrt{3 + \frac{x}{2} - x^2}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \int \frac{dx}{\sqrt{\frac{49}{16} - (x^2 - \frac{x}{2} + \frac{1}{16})}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \int \frac{dx}{\sqrt{(\frac{7}{4})^2 - (x-\frac{1}{4})^2}}$.
This is $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x-1/4}{7/4}\right) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{4x-1}{7}\right)$.
Combining both,$I = -3\sqrt{6+x-2x^2} + \frac{13}{2\sqrt{2}} \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{4x-1}{7}\right) + c$.

Solution

(C) Let $I = \int \frac{5x^2+3}{x^2(x^2-2)} dx$.
Using partial fractions,let $\frac{5x^2+3}{x^2(x^2-2)} = \frac{A}{x^2} + \frac{B}{x^2-2}$.
Then $5x^2+3 = A(x^2-2) + Bx^2$.
Comparing coefficients of $x^2$: $A+B = 5$.
Comparing constant terms: $-2A = 3 \implies A = -\frac{3}{2}$.
Substituting $A$ in $A+B=5$: $-\frac{3}{2} + B = 5 \implies B = 5 + \frac{3}{2} = \frac{13}{2}$.
Thus,$I = \int \left( -\frac{3}{2x^2} + \frac{13}{2(x^2-2)} \right) dx$.
$I = -\frac{3}{2} \int x^{-2} dx + \frac{13}{2} \int \frac{1}{x^2-(\sqrt{2})^2} dx$.

$\int \frac{x^{e-1}+e^{x-1}}{x^e+e^x} d x=$
A
$\frac{-1}{e} \log \left|x^e+e^x\right|+C$
B
$-e \log \left|x^{e}+e^x\right|+C$
C
$\frac{1}{e} \log \left|x^e+e^x\right|+C$
D
$e \log \left|x^{e}+e^x\right|+C$

Solution

(C) Let $I = \int \frac{x^{e-1}+e^{x-1}}{x^e+e^x} dx$ ... $(i)$
Put $x^e + e^x = t$ ... $(ii)$
Differentiating both sides with respect to $x$,we get:
$\frac{d}{dx}(x^e + e^x) = \frac{dt}{dx}$
$e x^{e-1} + e^x = \frac{dt}{dx}$
$(e x^{e-1} + e^x) dx = dt$
Factor out $e$:
$e(x^{e-1} + \frac{e^x}{e}) dx = dt$
$e(x^{e-1} + e^{x-1}) dx = dt$
$(x^{e-1} + e^{x-1}) dx = \frac{1}{e} dt$ ... $(iii)$
Substituting $(ii)$ and $(iii)$ into $(i)$:
$I = \int \frac{1}{t} \cdot \frac{1}{e} dt$
$I = \frac{1}{e} \int \frac{1}{t} dt$
$I = \frac{1}{e} \log |t| + C$
Substituting back $t = x^e + e^x$:
$I = \frac{1}{e} \log |x^e + e^x| + C$

$\int \frac{\sin (x-a)}{\sin (x-b)} d x = A x + B \log |\sin (x-b)| + C \Rightarrow (A, B) = $
A
$(\cos (b-a), \sin (b-a))$
B
$(\cos (b-a), \sin (a-b))$
C
$(-\cos (b-a), \sin (b-a))$
D
$(-\cos (b-a), \sin (a-b))$

Solution

(A) To evaluate the integral $I = \int \frac{\sin (x-a)}{\sin (x-b)} dx$,we rewrite the numerator as $\sin((x-b) + (b-a))$.
Using the identity $\sin(u+v) = \sin u \cos v + \cos u \sin v$,we get:
$I = \int \frac{\sin(x-b)\cos(b-a) + \cos(x-b)\sin(b-a)}{\sin(x-b)} dx$
$I = \int \cos(b-a) dx + \int \sin(b-a) \cot(x-b) dx$
$I = x \cos(b-a) + \sin(b-a) \log |\sin(x-b)| + C$
Comparing this with $Ax + B \log |\sin(x-b)| + C$,we find $A = \cos(b-a)$ and $B = \sin(b-a)$.
Thus,$(A, B) = (\cos(b-a), \sin(b-a))$.

$\int \frac{\log _e x}{\left(1+\log _e x\right)^2} d x=$
A
$-\frac{x}{1+\log _e x}+C$
B
$\frac{x}{\left(1+\log _e x\right)^2}+C$
C
$\frac{x}{\left(1+\log _e x\right)}+C$
D
$\frac{-x}{\left(1+\log _e x\right)^2}+C$

Solution

(C) Let $I = \int \frac{\log _e x}{(1+\log _e x)^2} dx$.
Substitute $\log _e x = t$,which implies $x = e^t$ and $dx = e^t dt$.
Substituting these into the integral,we get:
$I = \int \frac{t}{(1+t)^2} e^t dt$.
We can rewrite the numerator as $(t+1-1)$:
$I = \int \frac{t+1-1}{(1+t)^2} e^t dt = \int \left( \frac{1}{1+t} - \frac{1}{(1+t)^2} \right) e^t dt$.
Using the standard integral formula $\int e^x [f(x) + f'(x)] dx = e^x f(x) + C$,where $f(t) = \frac{1}{1+t}$ and $f'(t) = -\frac{1}{(1+t)^2}$:
$I = e^t \left( \frac{1}{1+t} \right) + C$.
Substituting $t = \log _e x$ back into the equation:
$I = e^{\log _e x} \left( \frac{1}{1+\log _e x} \right) + C = \frac{x}{1+\log _e x} + C$.

$e^{-2 x}\left[\frac{x^5}{2}+\frac{5 x^4}{4}+\frac{5 x^3}{2}+\frac{15 x^2}{4}+\frac{15 x}{4}+\frac{15}{8}\right]+c$

Solution

(B) To evaluate $\int x^5 e^{-2 x} d x$,we use the formula for integration by parts repeatedly or the tabular method (Bernoulli's formula): $\int u v' dx = u v - u' v_1 + u'' v_2 - u''' v_3 + \dots$
Here,$u = x^5$ and $v' = e^{-2 x}$.
$u = x^5, u' = 5x^4, u'' = 20x^3, u''' = 60x^2, u^{(4)} = 120x, u^{(5)} = 120, u^{(6)} = 0$.
$v = e^{-2 x}, v_1 = \frac{e^{-2 x}}{-2}, v_2 = \frac{e^{-2 x}}{4}, v_3 = \frac{e^{-2 x}}{-8}, v_4 = \frac{e^{-2 x}}{16}, v_5 = \frac{e^{-2 x}}{-32}, v_6 = \frac{e^{-2 x}}{64}$.
Applying the formula:
$\int x^5 e^{-2 x} d x = x^5 \left(\frac{e^{-2 x}}{-2}\right) - 5x^4 \left(\frac{e^{-2 x}}{4}\right) + 20x^3 \left(\frac{e^{-2 x}}{-8}\right) - 60x^2 \left(\frac{e^{-2 x}}{16}\right) + 120x \left(\frac{e^{-2 x}}{-32}\right) - 120 \left(\frac{e^{-2 x}}{64}\right) + c$
$= -e^{-2 x} \left[ \frac{x^5}{2} + \frac{5x^4}{4} + \frac{20x^3}{8} + \frac{60x^2}{16} + \frac{120x}{32} + \frac{120}{64} \right] + c$
$= -e^{-2 x} \left[ \frac{x^5}{2} + \frac{5x^4}{4} + \frac{5x^3}{2} + \frac{15x^2}{4} + \frac{15x}{4} + \frac{15}{8} \right] + c$.
