TS EAMCET 2015 Mathematics Question Paper with Answer and Solution

(D) We know the identity $\cosh 2x = \frac{\operatorname{coth}^2 x + 1}{\operatorname{coth}^2 x - 1}$.
Given $\cosh 2x = 199$,we have $\frac{\operatorname{coth}^2 x + 1}{\operatorname{coth}^2 x - 1} = 199$.
Let $u = \operatorname{coth}^2 x$. Then $\frac{u + 1}{u - 1} = 199$.
$u + 1 = 199u - 199$.
$200 = 198u$.
$u = \frac{200}{198} = \frac{100}{99}$.
Thus,$\operatorname{coth}^2 x = \frac{100}{99}$.
Taking the square root,$\operatorname{coth} x = \pm \sqrt{\frac{100}{99}} = \pm \frac{10}{3 \sqrt{11}}$.
Considering the positive value,the result is $\frac{10}{3 \sqrt{11}}$.

(D) The first pair of lines is $xy+4x-3y-12=0$,which factors as $(x-3)(y+4)=0$. Thus,the lines are $x=3$ and $y=-4$.
The second pair of lines is $xy-3x+4y-12=0$,which factors as $(x+4)(y-3)=0$. Thus,the lines are $x=-4$ and $y=3$.
The four lines forming the square are $x=3, x=-4, y=-4, y=3$.
The vertices of the square are $(3, 3), (3, -4), (-4, -4), (-4, 3)$.
The diagonals connect $(3, 3)$ to $(-4, -4)$ and $(3, -4)$ to $(-4, 3)$.
The equation of the diagonal passing through $(3, 3)$ and $(-4, -4)$ is $y-3 = \frac{-4-3}{-4-3}(x-3)$,which simplifies to $y-3 = x-3$,or $x-y=0$.
The equation of the diagonal passing through $(3, -4)$ and $(-4, 3)$ is $y-(-4) = \frac{3-(-4)}{-4-3}(x-3)$,which simplifies to $y+4 = -1(x-3)$,or $x+y+1=0$.
The combined equation is $(x-y)(x+y+1) = x^2+xy+x-xy-y^2-y = x^2-y^2+x-y=0$.

(D) The equation of the circle is $x^2+y^2-2x-4y+2=0$ ...$(i)$.
Homogenizing equation $(i)$ using the line $x+y=k$,we get:
$x^2+y^2-2x\left(\frac{x+y}{k}\right)-4y\left(\frac{x+y}{k}\right)+2\left(\frac{x+y}{k}\right)^2=0$.
Multiplying by $k^2$,we get:
$k^2x^2+k^2y^2-2kx(x+y)-4ky(x+y)+2(x+y)^2=0$.
$k^2x^2+k^2y^2-2kx^2-2kxy-4kxy-4ky^2+2x^2+4xy+2y^2=0$.
Grouping the terms,we get:
$(k^2-2k+2)x^2 + (4-6k)xy + (k^2-4k+2)y^2 = 0$.
Since $\angle AOB=90^{\circ}$,the sum of the coefficients of $x^2$ and $y^2$ must be zero:
$(k^2-2k+2) + (k^2-4k+2) = 0$.
$2k^2-6k+4 = 0$.
$k^2-3k+2 = 0$.
$(k-2)(k-1) = 0$.
Thus,$k=2$ or $k=1$.
Given $k>1$,the value is $k=2$.

(C) Given $3 \cos A + 2 = 0$,we have $\cos A = -\frac{2}{3}$.
Since $A$ is an angle in a triangle,$\sin A > 0$. Thus,$\sin A = \sqrt{1 - \cos^2 A} = \sqrt{1 - \frac{4}{9}} = \frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}$.
Then,$\tan A = \frac{\sin A}{\cos A} = \frac{\sqrt{5}/3}{-2/3} = -\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}$.
The quadratic equation with roots $\alpha$ and $\beta$ is $x^2 - (\alpha + \beta)x + \alpha\beta = 0$.
Here,$\alpha = \sin A = \frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}$ and $\beta = \tan A = -\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}$.
Sum of roots: $\alpha + \beta = \frac{\sqrt{5}}{3} - \frac{\sqrt{5}}{2} = \frac{2\sqrt{5} - 3\sqrt{5}}{6} = -\frac{\sqrt{5}}{6}$.
Product of roots: $\alpha\beta = \left(\frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}\right) \left(-\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}\right) = -\frac{5}{6}$.
The equation is $x^2 - (-\frac{\sqrt{5}}{6})x - \frac{5}{6} = 0$,which simplifies to $x^2 + \frac{\sqrt{5}}{6}x - \frac{5}{6} = 0$.
Multiplying by $6$,we get $6x^2 + \sqrt{5}x - 5 = 0$.

(C) Given that $\alpha$ and $\beta$ satisfy the equation $x^2-6x+1=0$.
Let $y = \frac{x}{x+1}$.
Then $y(x+1) = x$,which implies $yx + y = x$,or $x(1-y) = y$,so $x = \frac{y}{1-y}$.
Substituting this into the original equation $x^2-6x+1=0$:
$(\frac{y}{1-y})^2 - 6(\frac{y}{1-y}) + 1 = 0$.
Multiplying by $(1-y)^2$,we get:
$y^2 - 6y(1-y) + (1-y)^2 = 0$.
$y^2 - 6y + 6y^2 + 1 - 2y + y^2 = 0$.
$8y^2 - 8y + 1 = 0$.
Replacing $y$ with $x$,the required equation is $8x^2-8x+1=0$.

(A) Given that $\alpha, \beta, \gamma$ are the roots of $x^3+x^2+x+2=0$.
From Vieta's formulas,$\alpha+\beta+\gamma = -1$.
Let $y = \frac{\alpha+\beta-2\gamma}{\gamma}$.
Since $\alpha+\beta+\gamma = -1$,we have $\alpha+\beta = -1-\gamma$.
Substituting this into the expression for $y$:
$y = \frac{-1-\gamma-2\gamma}{\gamma} = \frac{-1-3\gamma}{\gamma} = -3 - \frac{1}{\gamma}$.
Thus,$\frac{1}{\gamma} = -y-3$,which implies $\gamma = -\frac{1}{y+3}$.
Since $\gamma$ is a root of $x^3+x^2+x+2=0$,we substitute $x = -\frac{1}{y+3}$:
$(-\frac{1}{y+3})^3 + (-\frac{1}{y+3})^2 + (-\frac{1}{y+3}) + 2 = 0$.
Multiplying by $-(y+3)^3$:
$1 - (y+3) + (y+3)^2 - 2(y+3)^3 = 0$.
$1 - y - 3 + y^2 + 6y + 9 - 2(y^3 + 9y^2 + 27y + 27) = 0$.
$-2y^3 - 17y^2 - 49y - 47 = 0$.
$2y^3 + 17y^2 + 49y + 47 = 0$.
The product of the roots of this cubic equation in $y$ is given by $-\frac{d}{a} = -\frac{47}{2}$.

(C) Since $\alpha, \beta, \gamma$ are the roots of the equation $x^3+x+10=0$,we have $\alpha+\beta+\gamma=0$.
Now,$\alpha_1=\frac{\alpha+\beta}{\gamma^2}=\frac{-\gamma}{\gamma^2}=\frac{-1}{\gamma}$.
Similarly,$\beta_1=\frac{-1}{\alpha}$ and $\gamma_1=\frac{-1}{\beta}$.
Thus,$\alpha_1, \beta_1, \gamma_1$ are the roots of the equation obtained by substituting $x = -\frac{1}{y}$ in $x^3+x+10=0$.
$(-\frac{1}{y})^3 + (-\frac{1}{y}) + 10 = 0 \implies -\frac{1}{y^3} - \frac{1}{y} + 10 = 0$.
Multiplying by $-y^3$,we get $10y^3 - y^2 - 1 = 0$.
Since $\alpha_1, \beta_1, \gamma_1$ are roots of $10x^3-x^2-1=0$,we have $10\alpha_1^3-\alpha_1^2-1=0$,$10\beta_1^3-\beta_1^2-1=0$,and $10\gamma_1^3-\gamma_1^2-1=0$.
Summing these equations: $10(\alpha_1^3+\beta_1^3+\gamma_1^3) - (\alpha_1^2+\beta_1^2+\gamma_1^2) - 3 = 0$.
Dividing by $10$: $(\alpha_1^3+\beta_1^3+\gamma_1^3) - \frac{1}{10}(\alpha_1^2+\beta_1^2+\gamma_1^2) = \frac{3}{10}$.

(C) Let $f(n) = n^4-2n^3-n^2+2n-26$.
Factorizing the expression:
$f(n) = n^3(n-2) - n(n-2) - 26$
$f(n) = (n^3-n)(n-2) - 26$
$f(n) = n(n^2-1)(n-2) - 26$
$f(n) = (n-2)(n-1)n(n+1) - 26$.
Since $(n-2)(n-1)n(n+1)$ is the product of four consecutive integers,it is always divisible by $4! = 24$.
Let $(n-2)(n-1)n(n+1) = 24k$ for some integer $k$.
Then $f(n) = 24k - 26$.
To find the remainder when divided by $24$,we write:
$f(n) = 24k - 48 + 22$
$f(n) = 24(k-2) + 22$.
Thus,the remainder is $22$.

(C) Given the quadratic equation $x^2-4x+8=0$.
Using the quadratic formula,the roots are $\alpha, \beta = \frac{4 \pm \sqrt{16-32}}{2} = \frac{4 \pm 4i}{2} = 2 \pm 2i$.
Converting to polar form: $\alpha, \beta = 2\sqrt{2}(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \pm i\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}) = 2\sqrt{2}(\cos \frac{\pi}{4} \pm i\sin \frac{\pi}{4})$.
Using De Moivre's Theorem,$\alpha^{2n} = (2\sqrt{2})^{2n}(\cos \frac{\pi}{4} + i\sin \frac{\pi}{4})^{2n} = (2^{3/2})^{2n}(\cos \frac{n\pi}{2} + i\sin \frac{n\pi}{2}) = 2^{3n}(\cos \frac{n\pi}{2} + i\sin \frac{n\pi}{2})$.
Similarly,$\beta^{2n} = 2^{3n}(\cos \frac{n\pi}{2} - i\sin \frac{n\pi}{2})$.
Adding these,$\alpha^{2n} + \beta^{2n} = 2^{3n}(\cos \frac{n\pi}{2} + i\sin \frac{n\pi}{2} + \cos \frac{n\pi}{2} - i\sin \frac{n\pi}{2}) = 2^{3n} \cdot 2 \cos \frac{n\pi}{2} = 2^{3n+1} \cos \frac{n\pi}{2}$.

(A) Given $\alpha = \omega + 2\omega^2 - 3$.
Since $1 + \omega + \omega^2 = 0$,we have $\omega + \omega^2 = -1$.
Substituting this into the expression for $\alpha$:
$\alpha = (\omega + \omega^2) + \omega^2 - 3 = -1 + \omega^2 - 3 = \omega^2 - 4$.
Thus,$\omega^2 = \alpha + 4$.
Cubing both sides,we get $(\omega^2)^3 = (\alpha + 4)^3$.
Since $\omega^3 = 1$,we have $\omega^6 = 1$.
So,$1 = \alpha^3 + 3(\alpha^2)(4) + 3(\alpha)(4^2) + 4^3$.
$1 = \alpha^3 + 12\alpha^2 + 48\alpha + 64$.
Subtracting $61$ from both sides:
$\alpha^3 + 12\alpha^2 + 48\alpha + 3 = 1 - 64 = -63$.

(A) Given that $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are non-real cube roots of $2$.
Since the cube roots of $2$ are $2^{1/3}, 2^{1/3}\omega, 2^{1/3}\omega^2$,where $\omega$ is the complex cube root of unity.
The non-real cube roots are $\alpha = 2^{1/3}\omega$ and $\beta = 2^{1/3}\omega^2$.
Now,$\alpha^6 + \beta^6 = (2^{1/3}\omega)^6 + (2^{1/3}\omega^2)^6$.
$= 2^2 \omega^6 + 2^2 \omega^{12}$.
$= 4(\omega^3)^2 + 4(\omega^3)^4$.
Since $\omega^3 = 1$,we have $4(1)^2 + 4(1)^4 = 4 + 4 = 8$.

(A) The given equation is $1+x+x^2=0$.
Multiplying by $(x-1)$,we get $(x-1)(1+x+x^2)=0$,which implies $x^3-1=0$,so $x^3=1$.
The roots of $1+x+x^2=0$ are the complex cube roots of unity,$\omega$ and $\omega^2$.
Let $\alpha = \omega$ and $\beta = \omega^2$.
We need to find the value of $\alpha^4+\beta^4+\alpha^{-4}\beta^{-4}$.
Since $\alpha^3 = 1$ and $\beta^3 = 1$,we have $\alpha^4 = \alpha^3 \cdot \alpha = \alpha = \omega$ and $\beta^4 = (\omega^2)^4 = \omega^8 = \omega^6 \cdot \omega^2 = \omega^2$.
Also,$\alpha^{-4}\beta^{-4} = (\alpha\beta)^{-4} = (\omega \cdot \omega^2)^{-4} = (\omega^3)^{-4} = (1)^{-4} = 1$.
Thus,$\alpha^4+\beta^4+\alpha^{-4}\beta^{-4} = \omega + \omega^2 + 1$.
Since $1+\omega+\omega^2 = 0$,the value is $0$.

(C) The number of diagonals of a regular polygon having $n$ sides is given by $\frac{n(n-3)}{2}$.
$\therefore \frac{n(n-3)}{2} = 35$
$\Rightarrow n(n-3) = 70$
$\Rightarrow n^2 - 3n - 70 = 0$
$\Rightarrow n^2 - 10n + 7n - 70 = 0$
$\Rightarrow n(n - 10) + 7(n - 10) = 0$
$\Rightarrow (n - 10)(n + 7) = 0$
Since the number of sides $n$ must be positive,we have $n = 10$.

(C) The given series is of the form $(1-\alpha)^{-p/q} = 1 + \frac{p}{1!}(\frac{\alpha}{q}) + \frac{p(p+q)}{2!}(\frac{\alpha}{q})^2 + \frac{p(p+q)(p+2q)}{3!}(\frac{\alpha}{q})^3 + \ldots$
Comparing the given series with this expansion,we have $p=3$,$p+q=7$,and $p+2q=11$.
From $p=3$ and $p+q=7$,we get $q=4$.
Also,$\frac{\alpha}{q} = \frac{1}{6}$,so $\alpha = \frac{q}{6} = \frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3}$.
Thus,$x = (1-\alpha)^{-p/q} = (1-\frac{2}{3})^{-3/4} = (\frac{1}{3})^{-3/4} = (3)^{3/4}$.
Therefore,$x^4 = (3^{3/4})^4 = 3^3 = 27$.

(C) Given expression: $\frac{1}{x^2-5x+6} = \frac{1}{(x-3)(x-2)}$.
Using partial fractions: $\frac{1}{(x-3)(x-2)} = \frac{1}{x-3} - \frac{1}{x-2} = \frac{1}{2-x} - \frac{1}{3-x}$.
Rewrite the expression as: $\frac{1}{2(1-\frac{x}{2})} - \frac{1}{3(1-\frac{x}{3})}$.
Using the binomial expansion $(1-y)^{-1} = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} y^n$ for $|y| < 1$:
$= \frac{1}{2} \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} (\frac{x}{2})^n - \frac{1}{3} \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} (\frac{x}{3})^n$.
The coefficient of $x^n$ is $\frac{1}{2} \cdot (\frac{1}{2})^n - \frac{1}{3} \cdot (\frac{1}{3})^n = \frac{1}{2^{n+1}} - \frac{1}{3^{n+1}}$.

(B) The given sum is $\sum_{r=0}^{10} {}^{40-r} C_5 = {}^{40} C_5 + {}^{39} C_5 + {}^{38} C_5 + \dots + {}^{30} C_5$.
This can be written as $\sum_{k=30}^{40} {}^{k} C_5$.
Using the identity ${}^{n} C_r + {}^{n} C_{r-1} = {}^{n+1} C_r$,we can rewrite ${}^{k} C_5$ as ${}^{k+1} C_6 - {}^{k} C_6$.
Thus,the sum becomes:
$\sum_{k=30}^{40} ({}^{k+1} C_6 - {}^{k} C_6) = ({}^{31} C_6 - {}^{30} C_6) + ({}^{32} C_6 - {}^{31} C_6) + \dots + ({}^{41} C_6 - {}^{40} C_6)$.
This is a telescoping sum,which simplifies to ${}^{41} C_6 - {}^{30} C_6$.

(D) Given expression: $E = \frac{(1+\frac{2}{3}x)^{-3}(1-15x)^{-1/5}}{(2-3x)^4}$
Neglecting $x^2$ and higher powers,we use the binomial approximation $(1+nx) \approx 1+nx$.
$E = \frac{(1+\frac{2}{3}x)^{-3}(1-15x)^{-1/5}}{2^4(1-\frac{3}{2}x)^4}$
$E = \frac{1}{16} (1+\frac{2}{3}x)^{-3} (1-15x)^{-1/5} (1-\frac{3}{2}x)^{-4}$
Applying the approximation $(1+ax)^n \approx 1+nax$:
$(1+\frac{2}{3}x)^{-3} \approx 1 + (-3)(\frac{2}{3}x) = 1-2x$
$(1-15x)^{-1/5} \approx 1 + (-\frac{1}{5})(-15x) = 1+3x$
$(1-\frac{3}{2}x)^{-4} \approx 1 + (-4)(-\frac{3}{2}x) = 1+6x$
Multiplying these:
$E \approx \frac{1}{16} (1-2x)(1+3x)(1+6x)$
$E \approx \frac{1}{16} (1+3x-2x)(1+6x) = \frac{1}{16} (1+x)(1+6x)$
$E \approx \frac{1}{16} (1+6x+x) = \frac{1}{16}(1+7x)$

(B) We have,
$A = \sin^2 \theta + \cos^4 \theta$
$= (1 - \cos^2 \theta) + \cos^4 \theta$
$= \cos^4 \theta - \cos^2 \theta + 1$
To find the range,let $x = \cos^2 \theta$,where $x \in [0, 1]$.
Then $A = x^2 - x + 1$.
This is a quadratic in $x$ with vertex at $x = -b/(2a) = -(-1)/(2 \times 1) = 1/2$.
Since $1/2 \in [0, 1]$,the minimum value is at $x = 1/2$:
$A_{min} = (1/2)^2 - (1/2) + 1 = 1/4 - 1/2 + 1 = 3/4$.
The maximum value occurs at the boundaries $x=0$ or $x=1$:
At $x = 0$,$A = 0^2 - 0 + 1 = 1$.
At $x = 1$,$A = 1^2 - 1 + 1 = 1$.
Thus,the range of $A$ is $[3/4, 1]$.

(D) We know that $\cosh 2x = \frac{1 + \tanh^2 x}{1 - \tanh^2 x}$.
Given $\cosh 2x = 199$,we have:
$\frac{1 + \tanh^2 x}{1 - \tanh^2 x} = 199$
$1 + \tanh^2 x = 199 - 199 \tanh^2 x$
$200 \tanh^2 x = 198$
$\tanh^2 x = \frac{198}{200} = \frac{99}{100}$
$\tanh x = \sqrt{\frac{99}{100}} = \frac{3 \sqrt{11}}{10}$
Since $\coth x = \frac{1}{\tanh x}$,we get:
$\coth x = \frac{10}{3 \sqrt{11}}$

(B) Given equation: $\sec x \cos 5x + 1 = 0$.
Since $\sec x = \frac{1}{\cos x}$,we have $\frac{\cos 5x}{\cos x} + 1 = 0$,which implies $\cos 5x + \cos x = 0$ provided $\cos x \neq 0$.
Using the sum-to-product formula $\cos A + \cos B = 2 \cos \frac{A+B}{2} \cos \frac{A-B}{2}$,we get:
$2 \cos 3x \cos 2x = 0$.
This implies $\cos 3x = 0$ or $\cos 2x = 0$.
For $\cos 3x = 0$ in $[0, 2\pi]$,$3x = \frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{3\pi}{2}, \frac{5\pi}{2}, \frac{7\pi}{2}, \frac{9\pi}{2}, \frac{11\pi}{2}$,so $x = \frac{\pi}{6}, \frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{5\pi}{6}, \frac{7\pi}{6}, \frac{3\pi}{2}, \frac{11\pi}{6}$.
For $\cos 2x = 0$ in $[0, 2\pi]$,$2x = \frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{3\pi}{2}, \frac{5\pi}{2}, \frac{7\pi}{2}$,so $x = \frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{3\pi}{4}, \frac{5\pi}{4}, \frac{7\pi}{4}$.
We must exclude values where $\cos x = 0$,i.e.,$x = \frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{3\pi}{2}$.
The valid solutions are $x \in \{\frac{\pi}{6}, \frac{5\pi}{6}, \frac{7\pi}{6}, \frac{11\pi}{6}, \frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{3\pi}{4}, \frac{5\pi}{4}, \frac{7\pi}{4}\}$.
The total number of solutions is $8$.

(C) Let the new coordinates of the point be $(X, Y)$.
Given that the origin is shifted to $(h, k) = (-\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{2})$ and the axes are rotated anti-clockwise by an angle $\theta = 45^{\circ} = \frac{\pi}{4}$.
The original coordinates are $(x, y) = (1, -1)$.
The transformation formulas for new coordinates $(X, Y)$ are:
$X = (x - h) \cos \theta + (y - k) \sin \theta$
$Y = -(x - h) \sin \theta + (y - k) \cos \theta$
Substituting the values:
$X = (1 - (-\sqrt{2})) \cos(45^{\circ}) + (-1 - \sqrt{2}) \sin(45^{\circ})$
$X = (1 + \sqrt{2}) \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} + (-1 - \sqrt{2}) \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} + 1 - \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} - 1 = 0$
$Y = -(1 + \sqrt{2}) \sin(45^{\circ}) + (-1 - \sqrt{2}) \cos(45^{\circ})$
$Y = -(1 + \sqrt{2}) \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} + (-1 - \sqrt{2}) \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
$Y = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} - 1 - \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} - 1 = -2 - \frac{2}{\sqrt{2}} = -2 - \sqrt{2}$
Thus,the new coordinates are $(0, -2-\sqrt{2})$.

(A) Let the intercepts of the line on the coordinate axes be $a$ and $b$.
Given that $a+b = -1$,so $b = -(1+a)$.
The intercept form of the line is $\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 1$.
Substituting $b$,we get $\frac{x}{a} - \frac{y}{1+a} = 1$.
Since the line passes through $(4,3)$,we have $\frac{4}{a} - \frac{3}{1+a} = 1$.
Multiplying by $a(1+a)$,we get $4(1+a) - 3a = a(1+a)$.
$4 + 4a - 3a = a + a^2$ $\Rightarrow 4 + a = a + a^2$ $\Rightarrow a^2 = 4$.
Thus,$a = 2$ or $a = -2$.
If $a = 2$,then $b = -(1+2) = -3$. The equation is $\frac{x}{2} + \frac{y}{-3} = 1 \Rightarrow 3x - 2y - 6 = 0$.
If $a = -2$,then $b = -(1-2) = 1$. The equation is $\frac{x}{-2} + \frac{y}{1} = 1$ $\Rightarrow -x + 2y = 2$ $\Rightarrow x - 2y + 2 = 0$.
The combined equation is $(3x - 2y - 6)(x - 2y + 2) = 0$.

(C) Let the line intersect the coordinate axes at points $A(a, 0)$ and $B(0, b)$.
The point $P\left(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{3}\right)$ divides the line segment $AB$ in the ratio $2: 3$.
Using the section formula,the coordinates of $P$ are given by:
$P = \left(\frac{2(a) + 3(0)}{2 + 3}, \frac{2(0) + 3(b)}{2 + 3}\right) = \left(\frac{2a}{5}, \frac{3b}{5}\right)$.
Given $P = \left(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{3}\right)$,we equate the coordinates:
$\frac{2a}{5} = \frac{1}{2} \Rightarrow a = \frac{5}{4}$
$\frac{3b}{5} = \frac{1}{3} \Rightarrow b = \frac{5}{9}$
The intercept form of the line equation is $\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 1$.
Substituting the values of $a$ and $b$:
$\frac{x}{5/4} + \frac{y}{5/9} = 1$
$\frac{4x}{5} + \frac{9y}{5} = 1$
$4x + 9y = 5$.

(C) The slopes of the lines $4x - y + 7 = 0$ and $kx - 5y - 9 = 0$ are $m_1 = 4$ and $m_2 = \frac{k}{5}$,respectively.
Given the angle $\theta = 45^{\circ}$ between the lines,we use the formula:
$\tan \theta = \left| \frac{m_1 - m_2}{1 + m_1 m_2} \right|$
$\tan 45^{\circ} = \left| \frac{4 - \frac{k}{5}}{1 + 4 \cdot \frac{k}{5}} \right|$
$1 = \left| \frac{20 - k}{5 + 4k} \right|$
This implies $\frac{20 - k}{5 + 4k} = 1$ or $\frac{20 - k}{5 + 4k} = -1$.
Case $1$: $20 - k = 5 + 4k$ $\Rightarrow 5k = 15$ $\Rightarrow k = 3$.
Case $2$: $20 - k = -5 - 4k$ $\Rightarrow 3k = -25$ $\Rightarrow k = -\frac{25}{3}$.
Since $k > 0$,the only valid solution is $k = 3$.

(A) The angle bisector theorem states that the bisector of $\angle BAC$ divides the opposite side $BC$ in the ratio of the sides adjacent to the angle,i.e.,$BD:CD = AB:AC$.
First,calculate the lengths of sides $AB$ and $AC$:
$AB = \sqrt{(0-4)^2 + (-2-3)^2 + (2-5)^2} = \sqrt{(-4)^2 + (-5)^2 + (-3)^2} = \sqrt{16 + 25 + 9} = \sqrt{50} = 5\sqrt{2}$.
$AC = \sqrt{(3-4)^2 + (2-3)^2 + (1-5)^2} = \sqrt{(-1)^2 + (-1)^2 + (-4)^2} = \sqrt{1 + 1 + 16} = \sqrt{18} = 3\sqrt{2}$.
Thus,the ratio $BD:CD = AB:AC = 5\sqrt{2} : 3\sqrt{2} = 5:3$.
Point $D$ divides $BC$ internally in the ratio $5:3$. Using the section formula,the coordinates of $D$ are:
$D = \left(\frac{5(3) + 3(0)}{5+3}, \frac{5(2) + 3(-2)}{5+3}, \frac{5(1) + 3(2)}{5+3}\right)$
$D = \left(\frac{15+0}{8}, \frac{10-6}{8}, \frac{5+6}{8}\right) = \left(\frac{15}{8}, \frac{4}{8}, \frac{11}{8}\right)$.

(D) The given lines are $L_1: 3x + 4y + 5 = 0$ and $L_2: 9x + 12y + 7 = 0$.
First,we rewrite $L_2$ by dividing by $3$: $3x + 4y + \frac{7}{3} = 0$.
Since the coefficients of $x$ and $y$ are the same in both equations,the lines are parallel.
The locus of a point equidistant from two parallel lines is a third line parallel to both,lying exactly halfway between them.
Therefore,the locus is a straight line given by $3x + 4y + c = 0$,where $c$ is the average of the constant terms after normalization.
Thus,the locus is a straight line.

(C) The given equations are $xy+4x-3y-12=0$ and $xy-3x+4y-12=0$.
For the first equation: $x(y+4)-3(y+4)=0 \Rightarrow (x-3)(y+4)=0$. This represents the lines $x=3$ and $y=-4$.
For the second equation: $x(y-3)+4(y-3)=0 \Rightarrow (x+4)(y-3)=0$. This represents the lines $x=-4$ and $y=3$.
The four lines forming the square are $x=3, x=-4, y=3, y=-4$.
The vertices of the square are $A(-4,-4), B(3,-4), C(3,3),$ and $D(-4,3)$.
The diagonal $AC$ passes through $A(-4,-4)$ and $C(3,3)$. Its equation is $y-(-4) = \frac{3-(-4)}{3-(-4)}(x-(-4))$ $\Rightarrow y+4 = 1(x+4)$ $\Rightarrow x-y=0$.
The diagonal $BD$ passes through $B(3,-4)$ and $D(-4,3)$. Its equation is $y-(-4) = \frac{3-(-4)}{-4-3}(x-3)$ $\Rightarrow y+4 = \frac{7}{-7}(x-3)$ $\Rightarrow y+4 = -x+3$ $\Rightarrow x+y+1=0$.
The combined equation of the diagonals is $(x-y)(x+y+1)=0$.
Expanding this,we get $x^2+xy+x-xy-y^2-y=0$,which simplifies to $x^2-y^2+x-y=0$.

(D) Homogenize the equation of the pair of lines $x^2+y^2-2x-4y+2=0$ using the line $x+y=k$,which can be written as $\frac{x+y}{k}=1$.
Substituting this into the equation,we get:
$x^2+y^2-2x(\frac{x+y}{k})-4y(\frac{x+y}{k})+2(\frac{x+y}{k})^2=0$.
Since the lines $OA$ and $OB$ are perpendicular,the sum of the coefficients of $x^2$ and $y^2$ must be zero.
Expanding the equation:
$x^2+y^2-\frac{2}{k}(x^2+xy)-\frac{4}{k}(xy+y^2)+\frac{2}{k^2}(x^2+2xy+y^2)=0$.
Grouping the terms:
$(1-\frac{2}{k}+\frac{2}{k^2})x^2 + (1-\frac{4}{k}+\frac{2}{k^2})y^2 + (\dots)xy = 0$.
Setting the sum of coefficients of $x^2$ and $y^2$ to zero:
$(1-\frac{2}{k}+\frac{2}{k^2}) + (1-\frac{4}{k}+\frac{2}{k^2}) = 0$.
$2 - \frac{6}{k} + \frac{4}{k^2} = 0$.
Multiplying by $k^2$:
$2k^2 - 6k + 4 = 0 \Rightarrow k^2 - 3k + 2 = 0$.
$(k-1)(k-2) = 0$.
Thus,$k=1$ or $k=2$.
Given $k>1$,the value is $k=2$.

(D) The power of a point $(x_1, y_1)$ with respect to a circle $x^2 + y^2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0$ is given by $x_1^2 + y_1^2 + 2gx_1 + 2fy_1 + c$.
Given the circle equation $x^2 + y^2 + 4x - 6y - a = 0$ and the point $(1, 6)$,the power is $-16$.
Substituting the point $(1, 6)$ into the circle equation:
$(1)^2 + (6)^2 + 4(1) - 6(6) - a = -16$
$1 + 36 + 4 - 36 - a = -16$
$5 - a = -16$
$a = 5 + 16$
$a = 21$

(A) The equation of the polar of point $(x_1, y_1)$ with respect to the circle $x^2+y^2+2gx+2fy+c=0$ is given by $xx_1+yy_1+g(x+x_1)+f(y+y_1)+c=0$.
For the circle $x^2+y^2-5x+8y+6=0$,we have $g = -\frac{5}{2}$,$f = 4$,and $c = 6$.
The polar of point $(4,2)$ is:
$x(4) + y(2) - \frac{5}{2}(x+4) + 4(y+2) + 6 = 0$
$4x + 2y - \frac{5}{2}x - 10 + 4y + 8 + 6 = 0$
Multiplying by $2$:
$8x + 4y - 5x - 20 + 8y + 16 + 12 = 0$
$3x + 12y + 8 = 0$
Since $(k,-3)$ is a conjugate point,it must lie on the polar of $(4,2)$.
Substituting $(k,-3)$ into the polar equation:
$3(k) + 12(-3) + 8 = 0$
$3k - 36 + 8 = 0$
$3k - 28 = 0$
$k = \frac{28}{3}$

(C) The equation of the circle is $x^2+y^2=4$. The point $P(1, \sqrt{3})$ lies on the circle.
The equation of the tangent at $P(x_1, y_1)$ is $xx_1 + yy_1 = r^2$,which is $x(1) + y(\sqrt{3}) = 4$,or $x + \sqrt{3}y = 4$.
The tangent meets the $X$-axis at $A(4, 0)$.
The normal at $P(1, \sqrt{3})$ passes through the origin $O(0, 0)$ and has the equation $y = \sqrt{3}x$.
The triangle is formed by the points $O(0, 0)$,$P(1, \sqrt{3})$,and $A(4, 0)$.
The area of $\triangle OPA = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} = \frac{1}{2} \times OA \times y_P = \frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times \sqrt{3} = 2 \sqrt{3}$ sq units.

(C) The equation of the family of circles passing through the intersection of two circles $S_1=0$ and $S_2=0$ is given by $S_1 + \lambda S_2 = 0$.
Here,$S_1 = x^2+y^2-8x-6y+21$ and $S_2 = x^2+y^2-2x-15$.
The equation is $(x^2+y^2-8x-6y+21) + \lambda(x^2+y^2-2x-15) = 0$.
Since the circle passes through $(1,2)$,substitute $x=1$ and $y=2$ into the equation:
$(1^2+2^2-8(1)-6(2)+21) + \lambda(1^2+2^2-2(1)-15) = 0$
$(1+4-8-12+21) + \lambda(1+4-2-15) = 0$
$6 + \lambda(-12) = 0$
$6 - 12\lambda = 0$ $\Rightarrow 12\lambda = 6$ $\Rightarrow \lambda = \frac{1}{2}$.
Substituting $\lambda = \frac{1}{2}$ back into the family equation:
$(x^2+y^2-8x-6y+21) + \frac{1}{2}(x^2+y^2-2x-15) = 0$
Multiply by $2$:
$2(x^2+y^2-8x-6y+21) + (x^2+y^2-2x-15) = 0$
$2x^2+2y^2-16x-12y+42 + x^2+y^2-2x-15 = 0$
$3x^2+3y^2-18x-12y+27 = 0$
Divide by $3$:
$x^2+y^2-6x-4y+9 = 0$.

(B) The equations of the circles are:
$S_1: x^2+y^2-2ax=0$
$S_2: x^2+y^2-2by=0$
The equation of the common chord is given by $S_1 - S_2 = 0$:
$(x^2+y^2-2ax) - (x^2+y^2-2by) = 0$
$-2ax + 2by = 0$
$ax - by = 0$
The centre of circle $S_1$ is $C_1(a, 0)$ and its radius is $r_1 = a$.
The perpendicular distance $d$ from the centre $C_1(a, 0)$ to the common chord $ax - by = 0$ is:
$d = \frac{|a(a) - b(0)|}{\sqrt{a^2 + (-b)^2}} = \frac{a^2}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2}}$
The length of the common chord is $2\sqrt{r_1^2 - d^2}$:
$= 2\sqrt{a^2 - \left(\frac{a^2}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2}}\right)^2}$
$= 2\sqrt{a^2 - \frac{a^4}{a^2+b^2}}$
$= 2\sqrt{\frac{a^2(a^2+b^2) - a^4}{a^2+b^2}}$
$= 2\sqrt{\frac{a^4 + a^2b^2 - a^4}{a^2+b^2}}$
$= 2\sqrt{\frac{a^2b^2}{a^2+b^2}}$
$= \frac{2ab}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2}}$

(A) Let $P(x, y)$ be any point on the parabola. The distance of $P$ from the focus $S(1, -1)$ is equal to its perpendicular distance from the directrix $x+y+3=0$.
$\therefore PS = PQ \implies PS^2 = PQ^2$
Using the distance formula and the perpendicular distance formula:
$(x-1)^2 + (y+1)^2 = \left(\frac{x+y+3}{\sqrt{1^2+1^2}}\right)^2$
$x^2 - 2x + 1 + y^2 + 2y + 1 = \frac{(x+y+3)^2}{2}$
$2(x^2 + y^2 - 2x + 2y + 2) = x^2 + y^2 + 9 + 2xy + 6y + 6x$
$2x^2 + 2y^2 - 4x + 4y + 4 = x^2 + y^2 + 2xy + 6x + 6y + 9$
$x^2 + y^2 - 2xy - 10x - 2y - 5 = 0$

(A) Let $P$ be a point on the parabola $y^2=8x$. The coordinates of $P$ can be represented as $(2t^2, 4t)$.
Let $M(x, y)$ be the mid-point of the line segment $AP$,where $A$ is $(1, 0)$.
Using the mid-point formula,we have:
$x = \frac{2t^2 + 1}{2}$ and $y = \frac{4t + 0}{2} = 2t$.
From $y = 2t$,we get $t = \frac{y}{2}$.
Substituting $t$ into the equation for $x$:
$x = \frac{2(\frac{y}{2})^2 + 1}{2} = \frac{2(\frac{y^2}{4}) + 1}{2} = \frac{\frac{y^2}{2} + 1}{2} = \frac{y^2 + 2}{4}$.
$4x = y^2 + 2$.
$y^2 = 4x - 2 = 4(x - \frac{1}{2})$.
Thus,the locus of the mid-point is $y^2 = 4(x - \frac{1}{2})$.

(P-6, Q-1, R-3) The given equation of the ellipse is $\frac{x^2}{25}+\frac{y^2}{16}=1$. Here,$a^2=25 \Rightarrow a=5$ and $b^2=16 \Rightarrow b=4$. The eccentricity $e = \sqrt{1 - \frac{b^2}{a^2}} = \sqrt{1 - \frac{16}{25}} = \sqrt{\frac{9}{25}} = \frac{3}{5}$.
$(P)$ The directrix corresponding to the focus $(-ae, 0) = (-3, 0)$ is $x = -\frac{a}{e} = -\frac{5}{3/5} = -\frac{25}{3}$,which gives $3x + 25 = 0$. This matches $(6)$.
$(Q)$ The tangent at the vertex $(0, 4)$ is $y = 4$. This matches $(1)$.
$(R)$ The latus rectum through the focus $(ae, 0) = (3, 0)$ is $x = ae = 5 \times \frac{3}{5} = 3$. This matches $(3)$.

(D) The given equation of the ellipse is $\frac{(x+y-3)^2}{9}+\frac{(x-y+1)^2}{16}=1$.
To find the centre of the ellipse,we set the linear expressions inside the squares to zero:
$x+y-3=0 \quad (i)$
$x-y+1=0 \quad (ii)$
Adding equations $(i)$ and $(ii)$:
$(x+y-3) + (x-y+1) = 0 + 0$
$2x - 2 = 0 \Rightarrow x = 1$
Substituting $x=1$ into equation $(i)$:
$1+y-3=0 \Rightarrow y=2$
Thus,the centre of the ellipse is $(1,2)$.

(C) The product of the lengths of the perpendiculars from any point on the hyperbola $\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$ to its asymptotes is given by the formula $\frac{a^2 b^2}{a^2+b^2}$.
Given the equation of the hyperbola is $x^2-y^2=16$,which can be written as $\frac{x^2}{4^2}-\frac{y^2}{4^2}=1$.
Here,$a^2=16$ and $b^2=16$.
Substituting these values into the formula:
$\text{Product} = \frac{16 \times 16}{16+16} = \frac{256}{32} = 8$.

(A) Let $L = \lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left[\tan \left(x+\frac{\pi}{4}\right)\right]^{1 / x}$.
Since this is of the form $1^\infty$,we use the formula $\lim_{x \to a} [f(x)]^{g(x)} = e^{\lim_{x \to a} [f(x)-1]g(x)}$.
$L = e^{\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left[\tan \left(x+\frac{\pi}{4}\right)-1\right] \frac{1}{x}}$.
Using the identity $\tan(A+B) = \frac{\tan A + \tan B}{1 - \tan A \tan B}$,we have $\tan(x+\frac{\pi}{4}) = \frac{\tan x + 1}{1 - \tan x}$.
$L = e^{\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left[\frac{\tan x+1}{1-\tan x}-1\right] \frac{1}{x}} = e^{\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \left[\frac{\tan x+1-1+\tan x}{1-\tan x}\right] \frac{1}{x}}$.
$L = e^{\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{2 \tan x}{x(1-\tan x)}}$.
Since $\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\tan x}{x} = 1$ and $\lim_{x \to 0} (1-\tan x) = 1$,we get $L = e^{2 \times 1 / 1} = e^2$.

(C) Given that the number $i$ is repeated $i$ times for $i = 1, 2, \ldots, n$.
The sum of the observations is $\sum_{i=1}^{n} i \times i = \sum_{i=1}^{n} i^2 = \frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}$.
The total number of observations is $\sum_{i=1}^{n} i = \frac{n(n+1)}{2}$.
The mean $\bar{X}$ is given by the ratio of the sum of observations to the total number of observations:
$\bar{X} = \frac{\sum i^2}{\sum i} = \frac{\frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}}{\frac{n(n+1)}{2}} = \frac{2n+1}{3}$.

(C) Given that the means are equal,let $\bar{X}_A = \bar{X}_B = \bar{X}$.
The coefficient of variation $(CV)$ is given by $CV = \frac{\sigma}{\bar{X}} \times 100$.
For team $A$,$CV_A = \frac{\sigma_A}{\bar{X}} \times 100 = 4$.
For team $B$,$CV_B = \frac{\sigma_B}{\bar{X}} \times 100 = 2$.
Dividing the two equations:
$\frac{CV_A}{CV_B} = \frac{\sigma_A / \bar{X}}{\sigma_B / \bar{X}} = \frac{4}{2}$.
$\frac{\sigma_A}{\sigma_B} = 2$.
Therefore,$\sigma_A = 2 \sigma_B$.

(B) Given $\angle C = \frac{\pi}{3}$.
Using the cosine rule,$\cos C = \frac{a^2+b^2-c^2}{2ab}$.
Since $\cos \frac{\pi}{3} = \frac{1}{2}$,we have $\frac{1}{2} = \frac{a^2+b^2-c^2}{2ab}$,which implies $a^2+b^2-c^2 = ab$,or $a^2+b^2 = ab+c^2$.
Adding $ac+bc$ to both sides,we get $a^2+b^2+ac+bc = ab+c^2+ac+bc$.
Factoring both sides,$a(a+c) + b(b+c) = (a+b)(c+c)$ is not the path; rather $a(a+c) + b(b+c) = (a+b)(c+c)$ is incorrect. Let's re-factor: $a^2+ac+b^2+bc = ab+c^2+ac+bc \Rightarrow a(a+c) + b(b+c) = (a+b)(c+c)$ is wrong. Correct factorization: $a^2+b^2-ab = c^2$.
Adding $ac+bc$ to both sides: $a^2+b^2-ab+ac+bc = c^2+ac+bc \Rightarrow a(a+c) + b(b+c) - ab = c(a+b+c)$.
Actually,the standard identity is: $\frac{a}{b+c} + \frac{b}{a+c} = 1$.
Adding $1$ to both sides: $\frac{a+b+c}{b+c} + \frac{a+b+c}{a+c} = 3$.
Dividing by $(a+b+c)$: $\frac{1}{b+c} + \frac{1}{a+c} = \frac{3}{a+b+c}$.
Therefore,$\frac{3}{a+b+c} - \frac{1}{a+c} = \frac{1}{b+c}$.

(D) Let the angles of $\triangle ABC$ be $A-d, A, A+d$. Since the sum of angles is $180^{\circ}$,we have $3A = 180^{\circ}$,so $A = 60^{\circ}$.
Thus,the angles are $60^{\circ}-d, 60^{\circ}, 60^{\circ}+d$.
Using the Law of Cosines for the angle $60^{\circ}$:
$\cos 60^{\circ} = \frac{a^2+c^2-b^2}{2ac} = \frac{1}{2}$
$a^2+c^2-b^2 = ac$
$c^2 - ac + (a^2-b^2) = 0$
Solving this quadratic equation for $c$ using the quadratic formula:
$c = \frac{a \pm \sqrt{a^2 - 4(a^2-b^2)}}{2}$
$c = \frac{a \pm \sqrt{4b^2-3a^2}}{2}$

(B) We know that $r = \frac{\Delta}{s}$,$r_1 = \frac{\Delta}{s-a}$,$r_2 = \frac{\Delta}{s-b}$,and $r_3 = \frac{\Delta}{s-c}$.
Substituting these values into the expression:
$\frac{1}{r^2} + \frac{1}{r_1^2} + \frac{1}{r_2^2} + \frac{1}{r_3^2} = \frac{s^2}{\Delta^2} + \frac{(s-a)^2}{\Delta^2} + \frac{(s-b)^2}{\Delta^2} + \frac{(s-c)^2}{\Delta^2}$
$= \frac{s^2 + (s-a)^2 + (s-b)^2 + (s-c)^2}{\Delta^2}$
$= \frac{s^2 + (s^2 - 2as + a^2) + (s^2 - 2bs + b^2) + (s^2 - 2cs + c^2)}{\Delta^2}$
$= \frac{4s^2 - 2s(a+b+c) + a^2+b^2+c^2}{\Delta^2}$
Since $a+b+c = 2s$,we have:
$= \frac{4s^2 - 2s(2s) + a^2+b^2+c^2}{\Delta^2}$
$= \frac{4s^2 - 4s^2 + a^2+b^2+c^2}{\Delta^2}$
$= \frac{a^2+b^2+c^2}{\Delta^2}$

(A) Given,$r_1 = 2r_2 = 3r_3 = k$ (let).
Since $r_1 = \frac{\Delta}{s-a}$,$r_2 = \frac{\Delta}{s-b}$,and $r_3 = \frac{\Delta}{s-c}$,we have:
$s-a = \frac{\Delta}{k}$,$s-b = \frac{\Delta}{2k}$,and $s-c = \frac{\Delta}{3k}$.
Summing these: $(s-a) + (s-b) + (s-c) = 3s - (a+b+c) = 3s - 2s = s$.
Thus,$s = \Delta(\frac{1}{k} + \frac{1}{2k} + \frac{1}{3k}) = \Delta(\frac{6+3+2}{6k}) = \frac{11\Delta}{6k}$.
Now,$b = s - (s-b) = \frac{11\Delta}{6k} - \frac{\Delta}{2k} = \frac{11\Delta - 3\Delta}{6k} = \frac{8\Delta}{6k} = \frac{4\Delta}{3k}$.
And $c = s - (s-c) = \frac{11\Delta}{6k} - \frac{\Delta}{3k} = \frac{11\Delta - 2\Delta}{6k} = \frac{9\Delta}{6k} = \frac{3\Delta}{2k}$.
Therefore,$b : c = \frac{4\Delta}{3k} : \frac{3\Delta}{2k} = \frac{4}{3} : \frac{3}{2} = 8 : 9$.
Wait,re-evaluating the ratio: $b : c = 4/3 : 3/2 = 8 : 9$.
Let us re-check the initial condition: $r_1 = 2r_2 = 3r_3$.
$s-a = \frac{\Delta}{r_1}$,$s-b = \frac{\Delta}{r_2} = \frac{2\Delta}{r_1}$,$s-c = \frac{\Delta}{r_3} = \frac{3\Delta}{r_1}$.
$3s - (a+b+c) = s = \Delta(\frac{1}{r_1} + \frac{2}{r_1} + \frac{3}{r_1}) = \frac{6\Delta}{r_1}$.
$b = s - (s-b) = \frac{6\Delta}{r_1} - \frac{2\Delta}{r_1} = \frac{4\Delta}{r_1}$.
$c = s - (s-c) = \frac{6\Delta}{r_1} - \frac{3\Delta}{r_1} = \frac{3\Delta}{r_1}$.
Thus,$b : c = 4 : 3$.

(C) Given the inequality: $|x|^2-5|x|+4 < 0$
Let $|x| = y$. Since $|x| \ge 0$,we have $y \ge 0$.
The inequality becomes $y^2-5y+4 < 0$.
Factoring the quadratic expression: $(y-4)(y-1) < 0$.
This implies $1 < y < 4$.
Substituting back $y = |x|$,we get $1 < |x| < 4$.
This inequality is equivalent to $|x| > 1$ and $|x| < 4$.
For $|x| > 1$,$x \in (-\infty, -1) \cup (1, \infty)$.
For $|x| < 4$,$x \in (-4, 4)$.
Taking the intersection of these two sets,we get $x \in (-4, -1) \cup (1, 4)$.

(C) Let the side of the square be $a$.
In a square,the length of the diagonal $d$ is related to the side $a$ by the formula $d = a\sqrt{2}$,or $d^2 = 2a^2$.
The extremities of the diagonal are given as $A(1, 2, 3)$ and $C(2, -3, 5)$.
The length of the diagonal $AC$ is calculated using the distance formula:
$AC = \sqrt{(2-1)^2 + (-3-2)^2 + (5-3)^2}$
$AC = \sqrt{1^2 + (-5)^2 + 2^2}$
$AC = \sqrt{1 + 25 + 4} = \sqrt{30}$
Since $AC^2 = 2a^2$,we have:
$(\sqrt{30})^2 = 2a^2$
$30 = 2a^2$
$a^2 = 15$
$a = \sqrt{15} \text{ units}$.

(A) The distance $PQ$ between the two particles is given by the distance formula:
$PQ = \sqrt{((t+1) - t)^2 + ((t^3 - 6t - 6) - (t^3 - 16t - 3))^2}$
$PQ = \sqrt{(1)^2 + (t^3 - 6t - 6 - t^3 + 16t + 3)^2}$
$PQ = \sqrt{1 + (10t - 3)^2}$
To find the minimum distance,we minimize $PQ^2 = 1 + (10t - 3)^2$.
Since $(10t - 3)^2 \geq 0$ for all real $t$,the minimum value of $(10t - 3)^2$ is $0$ when $10t - 3 = 0$,i.e.,$t = 0.3$.
Thus,the minimum distance is $\sqrt{1 + 0} = 1$.

(B) We are given: $P(A \cup B) = \frac{5}{6}$,$P(\bar{A}) = \frac{1}{4}$,and $P(B) = \frac{1}{3}$.
First,calculate $P(A)$:
$P(A) = 1 - P(\bar{A}) = 1 - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4}$.
Using the addition theorem of probability:
$P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)$.
Substituting the values:
$\frac{5}{6} = \frac{3}{4} + \frac{1}{3} - P(A \cap B)$.
$\frac{5}{6} = \frac{9 + 4}{12} - P(A \cap B) = \frac{13}{12} - P(A \cap B)$.
$P(A \cap B) = \frac{13}{12} - \frac{5}{6} = \frac{13 - 10}{12} = \frac{3}{12} = \frac{1}{4}$.
Now,check for independence by calculating $P(A) \cdot P(B)$:
$P(A) \cdot P(B) = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{4}$.
Since $P(A \cap B) = P(A) \cdot P(B)$,the events $A$ and $B$ are independent.

(D) To find the area of the region bounded by the curves $y=9x^2$ and $y=5x^2+4$,we first find their points of intersection by setting the equations equal to each other:
$9x^2 = 5x^2 + 4$
$4x^2 = 4$
$x^2 = 1$
$x = \pm 1$
When $x = 1$,$y = 9(1)^2 = 9$. When $x = -1$,$y = 9(-1)^2 = 9$.
So,the points of intersection are $(1, 9)$ and $(-1, 9)$.
The required area is the integral of the upper curve minus the lower curve from $x = -1$ to $x = 1$:
$\text{Area} = \int_{-1}^{1} [(5x^2+4) - 9x^2] dx$
Since the region is symmetric about the $y$-axis,we can write:
$\text{Area} = 2 \int_{0}^{1} (4 - 4x^2) dx$
$= 2 [4x - \frac{4x^3}{3}]_{0}^{1}$
$= 2 (4(1) - \frac{4(1)^3}{3}) - 2(0 - 0)$
$= 2 (4 - \frac{4}{3})$
$= 2 (\frac{12-4}{3})$
$= 2 (\frac{8}{3}) = \frac{16}{3} \text{ sq units}$.

(A) Given the identity: $\left|\begin{array}{ccc}x^2+x+1 & x+1 & 2x-3 \\ 3x^2-1 & x+2 & x-1 \\ x^2+5x+1 & 2x+3 & x+4\end{array}\right| = ax^4+bx^3+cx^2+dx+e$.
To find the value of $e$,we substitute $x=0$ on both sides of the equation.
Substituting $x=0$ in the determinant:
$\left|\begin{array}{ccc}0^2+0+1 & 0+1 & 2(0)-3 \\ 3(0)^2-1 & 0+2 & 0-1 \\ 0^2+5(0)+1 & 2(0)+3 & 0+4\end{array}\right| = a(0)^4+b(0)^3+c(0)^2+d(0)+e$.
This simplifies to:
$\left|\begin{array}{ccc}1 & 1 & -3 \\ -1 & 2 & -1 \\ 1 & 3 & 4\end{array}\right| = e$.
Now,expanding the determinant along the first row:
$e = 1((2)(4) - (-1)(3)) - 1((-1)(4) - (-1)(1)) + (-3)((-1)(3) - (2)(1))$.
$e = 1(8 + 3) - 1(-4 + 1) - 3(-3 - 2)$.
$e = 1(11) - 1(-3) - 3(-5)$.
$e = 11 + 3 + 15$.
$e = 29$.

(A) Given $A(x) = \left| \begin{array}{ccc} 1 & 2 & 3 \\ x+1 & 2x+1 & 3x+1 \\ x^2+1 & 2x^2+1 & 3x^2+1 \end{array} \right|$.
Applying column operations $C_2 \rightarrow C_2 - C_1$ and $C_3 \rightarrow C_3 - C_2$:
$A(x) = \left| \begin{array}{ccc} 1 & 2-1 & 3-2 \\ x+1 & (2x+1)-(x+1) & (3x+1)-(2x+1) \\ x^2+1 & (2x^2+1)-(x^2+1) & (3x^2+1)-(2x^2+1) \end{array} \right|$
$A(x) = \left| \begin{array}{ccc} 1 & 1 & 1 \\ x+1 & x & x \\ x^2+1 & x^2 & x^2 \end{array} \right|$.
Since column $C_2$ and column $C_3$ are identical,the value of the determinant is $0$.
Therefore,$\int_0^1 A(x) \, dx = \int_0^1 0 \, dx = 0$.

(D) To determine the nature of the solution for the system of equations,we calculate the determinant $D$ and the determinants $D_1, D_2, D_3$ using Cramer's Rule.
$D = \begin{vmatrix} 4 & 1 & 2 \\ 1 & -5 & 3 \\ 9 & -3 & 7 \end{vmatrix} = 4(-35 + 9) - 1(7 - 27) + 2(-3 + 45) = 4(-26) - 1(-20) + 2(42) = -104 + 20 + 84 = 0$.
Since $D = 0$,the system either has no solution or infinitely many solutions. We now calculate $D_1, D_2, D_3$:
$D_1 = \begin{vmatrix} 5 & 1 & 2 \\ 10 & -5 & 3 \\ 20 & -3 & 7 \end{vmatrix} = 5(-35 + 9) - 1(70 - 60) + 2(-30 + 100) = 5(-26) - 1(10) + 2(70) = -130 - 10 + 140 = 0$.
$D_2 = \begin{vmatrix} 4 & 5 & 2 \\ 1 & 10 & 3 \\ 9 & 20 & 7 \end{vmatrix} = 4(70 - 60) - 5(7 - 27) + 2(20 - 90) = 4(10) - 5(-20) + 2(-70) = 40 + 100 - 140 = 0$.
$D_3 = \begin{vmatrix} 4 & 1 & 5 \\ 1 & -5 & 10 \\ 9 & -3 & 20 \end{vmatrix} = 4(-100 + 30) - 1(20 - 90) + 5(-3 + 45) = 4(-70) - 1(-70) + 5(42) = -280 + 70 + 210 = 0$.
Since $D = D_1 = D_2 = D_3 = 0$,the system of equations is consistent and has an infinite number of solutions.

(A) Given equation: $\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) = \cot \left(\cos ^{-1} x\right)$.
We know that $\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) = \frac{\pi}{3}$.
So,$\frac{\pi}{3} = \cot \left(\cos ^{-1} x\right)$.
Taking $\cot$ on both sides: $\cot \left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = \cos ^{-1} x$.
Since $\cot \left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$,we have $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \cos ^{-1} x$.
Therefore,$x = \cos \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)$.
Wait,let us re-evaluate the original equation: $\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) = \frac{\pi}{3}$.
The equation is $\frac{\pi}{3} = \cot \left(\cos ^{-1} x\right)$.
Let $\cos ^{-1} x = \theta$,then $\cos \theta = x$.
Then $\cot \theta = \frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta} = \frac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}$.
So,$\frac{\pi}{3} = \frac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}$.
Squaring both sides: $\frac{\pi^2}{9} = \frac{x^2}{1-x^2}$.
$\pi^2 - \pi^2 x^2 = 9x^2 \Rightarrow x^2(9 + \pi^2) = \pi^2 \Rightarrow x = \frac{\pi}{\sqrt{9+\pi^2}}$.
However,looking at the provided options,there is a likely typo in the question. If the question was $\cot^{-1}(\frac{1}{2}) = \cos^{-1}x$,then $x = \cos(\cot^{-1}(\frac{1}{2})) = \cos(\cos^{-1}(\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}})) = \frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}$.
Given the options,the intended question is likely $\cot^{-1}(\frac{1}{2}) = \cos^{-1}x$. Assuming the standard interpretation of such problems,the correct option is $A$.

(B) Given that the function $f(x)$ is defined on the interval $[-1, 1]$.
For the function $g(x) = f(5x + 4)$ to be defined,the argument $(5x + 4)$ must lie within the domain of $f$,which is $[-1, 1]$.
Therefore,we have the inequality:
$-1 \leq 5x + 4 \leq 1$
Subtracting $4$ from all parts of the inequality:
$-1 - 4 \leq 5x \leq 1 - 4$
$-5 \leq 5x \leq -3$
Dividing all parts by $5$:
$-1 \leq x \leq -\frac{3}{5}$
Thus,the function $g(x)$ is defined on the interval $[-1, -\frac{3}{5}]$.

(C) Given,$f: N \rightarrow R$ with $f(1)=-1$ and the recurrence relation $f(n+1)=3f(n)+2$ for $n \geq 1$.
For $n=1$,$f(2) = 3f(1)+2 = 3(-1)+2 = -3+2 = -1$.
For $n=2$,$f(3) = 3f(2)+2 = 3(-1)+2 = -3+2 = -1$.
By mathematical induction,if $f(k)=-1$,then $f(k+1) = 3f(k)+2 = 3(-1)+2 = -1$.
Since $f(n)=-1$ for all $n \in N$,the function $f$ maps every input to the same output $-1$.
Therefore,$f$ is a constant function.

(A) For the function $f(x)$ to be continuous at $x=0$,we must have $f(0) = \lim_{x \rightarrow 0} f(x)$.
Given $f(x) = (x+1)^{\cot x}$.
Taking the limit as $x \rightarrow 0$:
$\lim_{x \rightarrow 0} (x+1)^{\cot x} = e^{\lim_{x \rightarrow 0} \cot x \cdot \ln(1+x)}$.
Using the standard limit $\lim_{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\ln(1+x)}{x} = 1$,we can rewrite the exponent as:
$\lim_{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\ln(1+x)}{\tan x} = \lim_{x \rightarrow 0} \left( \frac{\ln(1+x)}{x} \cdot \frac{x}{\tan x} \right)$.
Since $\lim_{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\ln(1+x)}{x} = 1$ and $\lim_{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{x}{\tan x} = 1$,the limit of the exponent is $1 \cdot 1 = 1$.
Therefore,$f(0) = e^1 = e$.

(B) Given equations are $x^2+y^2=t+\frac{2}{t}$ and $x^4+y^4=t^2+\frac{4}{t^2}$.
Squaring the first equation: $(x^2+y^2)^2 = (t+\frac{2}{t})^2$.
$x^4+y^4+2x^2y^2 = t^2+\frac{4}{t^2}+4$.
Substituting the value of $x^4+y^4$ from the second equation: $(t^2+\frac{4}{t^2}) + 2x^2y^2 = t^2+\frac{4}{t^2}+4$.
This simplifies to $2x^2y^2 = 4$,which gives $x^2y^2 = 2$.
Thus,$y^2 = \frac{2}{x^2}$.
Differentiating both sides with respect to $x$: $2y \frac{dy}{dx} = -2 \cdot 2x^{-3} = -\frac{4}{x^3}$.
Multiplying both sides by $x^3$: $2x^3y \frac{dy}{dx} = -4$.
Therefore,$x^3y \frac{dy}{dx} = -2$.

(D) Given,$y=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{3 x-x^3}{1-3 x^2}\right)+\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{4 x-4 x^3}{1-6 x^2+x^4}\right)$.
Substitute $x=\tan \theta$,then $\theta = \tan^{-1} x$.
The expression becomes:
$y = \tan^{-1}(\tan 3\theta) + \tan^{-1}(\tan 4\theta)$.
This simplifies to $y = 3\theta + 4\theta = 7\theta$.
Substituting back,$y = 7 \tan^{-1} x$.
Differentiating with respect to $x$:
$\frac{d y}{d x} = 7 \times \frac{1}{1+x^2} = \frac{7}{1+x^2}$.

(B) Given $x = \frac{1-\sqrt{y}}{1+\sqrt{y}}$.
Multiplying both sides by $(1+\sqrt{y})$,we get $x(1+\sqrt{y}) = 1-\sqrt{y}$.
$x + x\sqrt{y} = 1 - \sqrt{y}$.
Rearranging terms,we have $\sqrt{y}(x+1) = 1-x$,so $\sqrt{y} = \frac{1-x}{1+x}$.
Differentiating with respect to $x$:
$\frac{1}{2\sqrt{y}} \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{(1+x)(-1) - (1-x)(1)}{(1+x)^2} = \frac{-1-x-1+x}{(1+x)^2} = \frac{-2}{(1+x)^2}$.
Thus,$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-4\sqrt{y}}{(1+x)^2}$.
Substituting $\sqrt{y} = \frac{1-x}{1+x}$,we get $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-4(1-x)}{(1+x)^3} = \frac{4(x-1)}{(x+1)^3}$.
Now,differentiating again with respect to $x$:
$\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = 4 \left[ \frac{(x+1)^3(1) - (x-1) \cdot 3(x+1)^2}{(x+1)^6} \right] = 4 \left[ \frac{(x+1) - 3(x-1)}{(x+1)^4} \right] = 4 \left[ \frac{x+1-3x+3}{(x+1)^4} \right] = \frac{4(4-2x)}{(x+1)^4} = \frac{8(2-x)}{(x+1)^4}$.
Substituting these into the expression $(x+1) \frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}+\left(\frac{3 \sqrt{y}+1}{\sqrt{y}}\right) \frac{d y}{d x}$:
Note that $\frac{3\sqrt{y}+1}{\sqrt{y}} = 3 + \frac{1}{\sqrt{y}} = 3 + \frac{1+x}{1-x} = \frac{3-3x+1+x}{1-x} = \frac{4-2x}{1-x}$.
Expression $= (x+1) \frac{8(2-x)}{(x+1)^4} + \left(\frac{4-2x}{1-x}\right) \frac{4(x-1)}{(x+1)^3} = \frac{8(2-x)}{(x+1)^3} - \frac{4(2-x)}{(x+1)^3} \cdot \frac{4(x-1)}{4(x-1)} = \frac{8(2-x)}{(x+1)^3} - \frac{8(2-x)}{(x+1)^3} = 0$.

(A) The slope of the line $y=-4x+b$ is $m=-4$.
The slope of the tangent to the curve $y=\frac{1}{x}$ is given by the derivative $\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{1}{x^2}$.
Since the line is tangent to the curve,their slopes must be equal at the point of tangency:
$-\frac{1}{x^2} = -4
\Rightarrow x^2 = \frac{1}{4}
\Rightarrow x = \pm \frac{1}{2}$.
For $x = \frac{1}{2}$,the $y$-coordinate on the curve is $y = \frac{1}{1/2} = 2$.
For $x = -\frac{1}{2}$,the $y$-coordinate on the curve is $y = \frac{1}{-1/2} = -2$.
Substituting these points $(x, y)$ into the line equation $y = -4x + b$:
Case $1$: $2 = -4(\frac{1}{2}) + b \Rightarrow 2 = -2 + b \Rightarrow b = 4$.
Case $2$: $-2 = -4(-\frac{1}{2}) + b \Rightarrow -2 = 2 + b \Rightarrow b = -4$.
Thus,$b = \pm 4$.

(C) Let $A$ be the area and $x$ be the side of an equilateral triangle.
The area of an equilateral triangle is given by $A = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} x^2$.
Differentiating both sides with respect to $x$,we get:
$\frac{dA}{dx} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} (2x) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} x$.
The approximate change in area $\Delta A$ is given by $\Delta A \approx \frac{dA}{dx} \cdot \Delta x = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} x \cdot \Delta x$.
The percentage error in the area is given by $\frac{\Delta A}{A} \times 100$.
Substituting the values:
$\text{Percentage error} = \frac{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} x \Delta x}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} x^2} \times 100 = \frac{2 \Delta x}{x} \times 100$.
Given $x = 10$ and $\Delta x = 0.05$:
$\text{Percentage error} = \frac{2 \times 0.05}{10} \times 100 = \frac{0.1}{10} \times 100 = 1 \%$.
Thus,the percentage error in the area is $1 \%$.

(D) Given $f(x) = \begin{cases} x, & 0 \leq x \leq 1 \\ 2-x, & 1 < x \leq 2 \end{cases}$.
For Rolle's theorem to be applicable,$f(x)$ must be continuous on $[0, 2]$,differentiable on $(0, 2)$,and $f(0) = f(2)$.
First,check continuity at $x = 1$:
$LHL = \lim_{x \to 1^-} x = 1$.
$RHL = \lim_{x \to 1^+} (2-x) = 2 - 1 = 1$.
$f(1) = 1$.
Since $LHL = RHL = f(1)$,$f(x)$ is continuous at $x = 1$.
Next,check differentiability at $x = 1$:
$f'(1^-) = \frac{d}{dx}(x) = 1$.
$f'(1^+) = \frac{d}{dx}(2-x) = -1$.
Since $f'(1^-) \neq f'(1^+)$,the function $f(x)$ is not differentiable at $x = 1$.
Therefore,Rolle's theorem is not applicable because $f(x)$ is not differentiable on the interval $(0, 2)$.

(D) Let $I = \int \sqrt{\frac{2+x}{2-x}} \, dx$.
Multiplying the numerator and denominator inside the square root by $\sqrt{2+x}$:
$I = \int \frac{2+x}{\sqrt{(2-x)(2+x)}} \, dx = \int \frac{2+x}{\sqrt{4-x^2}} \, dx$.
Splitting the integral into two parts:
$I = 2 \int \frac{1}{\sqrt{2^2-x^2}} \, dx + \int \frac{x}{\sqrt{4-x^2}} \, dx$.
For the first part,use the standard integral $\int \frac{1}{\sqrt{a^2-x^2}} \, dx = \sin^{-1}(\frac{x}{a})$.
For the second part,let $u = 4-x^2$,so $du = -2x \, dx$ or $x \, dx = -\frac{1}{2} du$.
$I = 2 \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{2}\right) - \frac{1}{2} \int u^{-1/2} \, du = 2 \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{2}\right) - \frac{1}{2} (2u^{1/2}) + C$.
$I = 2 \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{2}\right) - \sqrt{4-x^2} + C$.

(B) Let $I = \int \sqrt{e^x-4} \, dx$.
Put $e^x-4 = t^2$.
Then $e^x \, dx = 2t \, dt$,which implies $dx = \frac{2t}{e^x} \, dt = \frac{2t}{t^2+4} \, dt$.
Substituting these into the integral:
$I = \int t \cdot \frac{2t}{t^2+4} \, dt = 2 \int \frac{t^2}{t^2+4} \, dt$.
Now,rewrite the integrand:
$I = 2 \int \frac{t^2+4-4}{t^2+4} \, dt = 2 \int \left(1 - \frac{4}{t^2+2^2}\right) \, dt$.
Integrating term by term:
$I = 2 \left[ t - 4 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{t}{2}\right) \right] + C$.
$I = 2t - 4 \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{t}{2}\right) + C$.
Substituting $t = \sqrt{e^x-4}$ back:
$I = 2 \sqrt{e^x-4} - 4 \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{e^x-4}}{2}\right) + C$.

(D) Let $I = \int e^{-x} \tan ^{-1}\left(e^x\right) d x$.
Substitute $e^x = t$,then $e^x d x = d t$,which implies $d x = \frac{1}{t} d t$.
Substituting these into the integral,we get:
$I = \int \frac{\tan ^{-1} t}{t^2} d t$.
Using integration by parts,let $u = \tan ^{-1} t$ and $dv = t^{-2} dt$. Then $du = \frac{1}{1+t^2} dt$ and $v = -\frac{1}{t}$.
$I = -\frac{1}{t} \tan ^{-1} t - \int \left(-\frac{1}{t}\right) \frac{1}{1+t^2} d t = -\frac{1}{t} \tan ^{-1} t + \int \frac{1}{t(1+t^2)} d t$.
Using partial fractions,$\frac{1}{t(1+t^2)} = \frac{1}{t} - \frac{t}{1+t^2}$.
So,$I = -\frac{1}{t} \tan ^{-1} t + \int \left(\frac{1}{t} - \frac{t}{1+t^2}\right) d t$.
$I = -\frac{1}{t} \tan ^{-1} t + \log |t| - \frac{1}{2} \log (1+t^2) + C$.
Substituting $t = e^x$ back:
$I = -e^{-x} \tan ^{-1} (e^x) + \log (e^x) - \frac{1}{2} \log (1+e^{2x}) + C$.
Since $\log (e^x) = x$,we have $I = -e^{-x} \tan ^{-1} (e^x) + x - \frac{1}{2} \log (1+e^{2x}) + C$.
Comparing this with the given expression $f(x) - \frac{1}{2} \log (1+e^{2x}) + C$,we find $f(x) = x - e^{-x} \tan ^{-1} (e^x)$.

(A) Let $I = \int \frac{x+5}{x^2+4x+5} dx$.
We express the numerator as $x+5 = \lambda(2x+4) + \mu$.
Comparing the coefficients of $x$ and the constant terms on both sides:
$1 = 2\lambda \implies \lambda = \frac{1}{2}$
$5 = 4\lambda + \mu \implies 5 = 4(\frac{1}{2}) + \mu \implies 5 = 2 + \mu \implies \mu = 3$.
Thus,$I = \int \frac{\frac{1}{2}(2x+4) + 3}{x^2+4x+5} dx = \frac{1}{2} \int \frac{2x+4}{x^2+4x+5} dx + 3 \int \frac{1}{(x+2)^2 + 1^2} dx$.
Using the formula $\int \frac{f'(x)}{f(x)} dx = \log|f(x)|$ and $\int \frac{1}{x^2+a^2} dx = \frac{1}{a} \tan^{-1}(\frac{x}{a}) + C$:
$I = \frac{1}{2} \log(x^2+4x+5) + 3 \tan^{-1}(x+2) + C$.
Comparing this with the given form $a \log(x^2+4x+5) + b \tan^{-1}(x+k) + C$,we get $a = \frac{1}{2}$,$b = 3$,and $k = 2$.

(A) Let $I = \int_0^1 \sqrt{\frac{1-x}{1+x}} \, dx$.
Rationalizing the integrand,we get:
$I = \int_0^1 \sqrt{\frac{1-x}{1+x} \times \frac{1-x}{1-x}} \, dx = \int_0^1 \frac{1-x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} \, dx$.
Splitting the integral:
$I = \int_0^1 \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} \, dx - \int_0^1 \frac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} \, dx$.
Evaluating the first part: $\int_0^1 \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} \, dx = [\sin^{-1} x]_0^1 = \sin^{-1}(1) - \sin^{-1}(0) = \frac{\pi}{2} - 0 = \frac{\pi}{2}$.
Evaluating the second part: Let $u = 1-x^2$,then $du = -2x \, dx$,so $x \, dx = -\frac{1}{2} du$.
$\int_0^1 \frac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} \, dx = -\frac{1}{2} \int_1^0 u^{-1/2} \, du = \frac{1}{2} \int_0^1 u^{-1/2} \, du = \frac{1}{2} [2\sqrt{u}]_0^1 = [\sqrt{u}]_0^1 = 1 - 0 = 1$.
Thus,$I = \frac{\pi}{2} - 1$.

(C) Let $I = \int_0^{\pi / 2} \frac{16 x \sin x \cos x}{\sin ^4 x+\cos ^4 x} d x$ $(i)$
Using the property $\int_0^a f(x) dx = \int_0^a f(a-x) dx$,we have:
$I = \int_0^{\pi / 2} \frac{16(\frac{\pi}{2}-x) \sin(\frac{\pi}{2}-x) \cos(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)}{\sin^4(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)+\cos^4(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)} dx$
$I = \int_0^{\pi / 2} \frac{(8\pi - 16x) \cos x \sin x}{\cos^4 x + \sin^4 x} dx$ (ii)
Adding $(i)$ and (ii):
$2I = \int_0^{\pi / 2} \frac{8\pi \sin x \cos x}{\sin^4 x + \cos^4 x} dx$
$I = 4\pi \int_0^{\pi / 2} \frac{\sin x \cos x}{\sin^4 x + \cos^4 x} dx$
Divide numerator and denominator by $\cos^4 x$:
$I = 4\pi \int_0^{\pi / 2} \frac{\tan x \sec^2 x}{\tan^4 x + 1} dx$
Let $u = \tan^2 x$,then $du = 2 \tan x \sec^2 x dx$:
$I = 2\pi \int_0^{\infty} \frac{du}{u^2 + 1} = 2\pi [\tan^{-1}(u)]_0^{\infty}$
$I = 2\pi [\frac{\pi}{2} - 0] = \pi^2$

(D) Given the family of curves: $y = ax + \frac{1}{a}$ $(i)$
Differentiating with respect to $x$,we get:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = a$
Substituting $a = \frac{dy}{dx}$ into equation $(i)$:
$y = x \left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right) + \frac{1}{\frac{dy}{dx}}$
Multiplying both sides by $\frac{dy}{dx}$ to eliminate the fraction:
$y \left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right) = x \left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^2 + 1$
The highest power of the highest order derivative $\frac{dy}{dx}$ is $2$.
Therefore,the degree of the differential equation is $2$.

(D) Given equation is $x \frac{dy}{dx} = 2x e^{-y/x} + y$.
Dividing by $x$,we get $\frac{dy}{dx} = 2e^{-y/x} + \frac{y}{x}$.
This is a homogeneous differential equation. Let $y = vx$,then $\frac{dy}{dx} = v + x \frac{dv}{dx}$.
Substituting these into the equation:
$v + x \frac{dv}{dx} = 2e^{-v} + v$.
Subtracting $v$ from both sides,we get $x \frac{dv}{dx} = 2e^{-v}$.
Separating the variables: $e^v dv = \frac{2}{x} dx$.
Integrating both sides: $\int e^v dv = \int \frac{2}{x} dx$.
$e^v = 2 \log |x| + C_1$.
Since $2 \log |x| + C_1 = \log |x^2| + \log |C| = \log |C x^2|$,or more simply $2 \log |x| + \log |C| = \log |C x^2|$ is not matching,let us write $C_1 = \log |C|$.
Then $e^v = 2 \log |x| + \log |C| = \log |x^2| + \log |C| = \log |C x^2|$.
Wait,checking the options,$e^{y/x} = 2 \log |Cx| = 2(\log |C| + \log |x|) = 2 \log |x| + 2 \log |C|$.
If we set the constant $C_1 = 2 \log |C|$,then $e^{y/x} = 2 \log |x| + 2 \log |C| = 2 \log |Cx|$.
Thus,the correct option is $D$.

(A) For a linear differential equation of the form $\frac{dy}{dx} + P(x)y = Q(x)$,the integrating factor $(IF)$ is given by $e^{\int P(x) dx}$.
$(P)$ $(x^3+1)\frac{dy}{dx}+x^2y=3x^2 \Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx} + \frac{x^2}{x^3+1}y = \frac{3x^2}{x^3+1}$.
$IF = e^{\int \frac{x^2}{x^3+1} dx} = e^{\frac{1}{3}\ln(x^3+1)} = (x^3+1)^{1/3}$. So,$P-5$.
$(Q)$ $x^2\frac{dy}{dx}+3xy=x^6 \Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx} + \frac{3}{x}y = x^4$.
$IF = e^{\int \frac{3}{x} dx} = e^{3\ln x} = x^3$. So,$Q-1$.
$(R)$ $(x^3+1)^2\frac{dy}{dx}+6x^2(x^3+1)y=x^2 \Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx} + \frac{6x^2}{x^3+1}y = \frac{x^2}{(x^3+1)^2}$.
$IF = e^{\int \frac{6x^2}{x^3+1} dx} = e^{2\ln(x^3+1)} = (x^3+1)^2$. So,$R-2$.
$(S)$ $(x^2+1)\frac{dy}{dx}+4xy=\ln x \Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx} + \frac{4x}{x^2+1}y = \frac{\ln x}{x^2+1}$.
$IF = e^{\int \frac{4x}{x^2+1} dx} = e^{2\ln(x^2+1)} = (x^2+1)^2$. So,$S-3$.
Thus,the correct match is $P-5, Q-1, R-2, S-3$.

(B) Let $S$ be the origin. Let the position vectors of $A, B, C,$ and $D$ be $\vec{a}, \vec{b}, \vec{c},$ and $\vec{d}$ respectively.
In a parallelogram $ABCD$,the diagonals $AC$ and $BD$ bisect each other at $P$.
Therefore,$P$ is the midpoint of $AC$ and also the midpoint of $BD$.
Since $P$ is the midpoint of $AC$,the position vector of $P$ is $\vec{p} = \frac{\vec{a} + \vec{c}}{2}$,which implies $\vec{a} + \vec{c} = 2\vec{p}$.
Since $P$ is the midpoint of $BD$,the position vector of $P$ is $\vec{p} = \frac{\vec{b} + \vec{d}}{2}$,which implies $\vec{b} + \vec{d} = 2\vec{p}$.
Adding these two equations,we get:
$(\vec{a} + \vec{c}) + (\vec{b} + \vec{d}) = 2\vec{p} + 2\vec{p} = 4\vec{p}$.
Since $S$ is the origin,$\vec{a} = \vec{SA}, \vec{b} = \vec{SB}, \vec{c} = \vec{SC}, \vec{d} = \vec{SD},$ and $\vec{p} = \vec{SP}$.
Thus,$\vec{SA} + \vec{SB} + \vec{SC} + \vec{SD} = 4\vec{SP}$.
Comparing this with the given equation $\vec{SA} + \vec{SB} + \vec{SC} + \vec{SD} = \lambda \vec{SP}$,we get $\lambda = 4$.

(C) Let $\vec{AB} = \vec{a}$ and $\vec{AD} = \vec{b}$. Since $ABCD$ is a parallelogram,$\vec{BC} = \vec{AD} = \vec{b}$ and $\vec{CD} = \vec{AB} = \vec{a}$.
Given that $M$ is the mid-point of $BC$,we have $\vec{BM} = \frac{1}{2} \vec{BC} = \frac{1}{2} \vec{b}$.
Given that $N$ is the mid-point of $CD$,we have $\vec{DN} = \frac{1}{2} \vec{CD} = \frac{1}{2} \vec{a}$.
In $\triangle ABM$,by triangle law of vector addition:
$\vec{AM} = \vec{AB} + \vec{BM} = \vec{a} + \frac{1}{2} \vec{b}$.
In $\triangle ADN$,by triangle law of vector addition:
$\vec{AN} = \vec{AD} + \vec{DN} = \vec{b} + \frac{1}{2} \vec{a}$.
Adding these two vectors:
$\vec{AM} + \vec{AN} = (\vec{a} + \frac{1}{2} \vec{b}) + (\vec{b} + \frac{1}{2} \vec{a})$
$= (1 + \frac{1}{2}) \vec{a} + (1 + \frac{1}{2}) \vec{b}$
$= \frac{3}{2} \vec{a} + \frac{3}{2} \vec{b} = \frac{3}{2} (\vec{a} + \vec{b})$.
Since $\vec{AC} = \vec{AB} + \vec{BC} = \vec{a} + \vec{b}$,we get:
$\vec{AM} + \vec{AN} = \frac{3}{2} \vec{AC}$.

(A) Let the position vectors of vertices $A, B,$ and $C$ be $\vec{a} = 3\hat{i}+4\hat{j}-\hat{k}$,$\vec{b} = \hat{i}+3\hat{j}+\hat{k}$,and $\vec{c} = 5\hat{i}+5\hat{j}+5\hat{k}$.
The vectors representing the sides are:
$\vec{AB} = \vec{b} - \vec{a} = (1-3)\hat{i} + (3-4)\hat{j} + (1-(-1))\hat{k} = -2\hat{i} - \hat{j} + 2\hat{k}$
$\vec{AC} = \vec{c} - \vec{a} = (5-3)\hat{i} + (5-4)\hat{j} + (5-(-1))\hat{k} = 2\hat{i} + \hat{j} + 6\hat{k}$
$\vec{BC} = \vec{c} - \vec{b} = (5-1)\hat{i} + (5-3)\hat{j} + (5-1)\hat{k} = 4\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 4\hat{k}$
The area of $\triangle ABC$ is given by $\frac{1}{2} |\vec{AB} \times \vec{AC}|$.
$\vec{AB} \times \vec{AC} = \begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ -2 & -1 & 2 \\ 2 & 1 & 6 \end{vmatrix} = \hat{i}(-6-2) - \hat{j}(-12-4) + \hat{k}(-2+2) = -8\hat{i} + 16\hat{j} + 0\hat{k}$
Magnitude $|\vec{AB} \times \vec{AC}| = \sqrt{(-8)^2 + 16^2 + 0^2} = \sqrt{64 + 256} = \sqrt{320} = 8\sqrt{5}$.
Area $= \frac{1}{2} \times 8\sqrt{5} = 4\sqrt{5}$.
Also,Area $= \frac{1}{2} \times |\vec{BC}| \times p$,where $p$ is the altitude from $A$ to $BC$.
$|\vec{BC}| = \sqrt{4^2 + 2^2 + 4^2} = \sqrt{16+4+16} = \sqrt{36} = 6$.
So,$4\sqrt{5} = \frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times p \implies 4\sqrt{5} = 3p \implies p = \frac{4\sqrt{5}}{3}$.

(D) Given vectors are $a=2 \hat{i}-3 \hat{j}+5 \hat{k}$,$b=3 \hat{i}-4 \hat{j}+5 \hat{k}$ and $c=5 \hat{i}-3 \hat{j}-2 \hat{k}$.
First,we calculate the coterminous edges:
$a+b = (2+3) \hat{i} + (-3-4) \hat{j} + (5+5) \hat{k} = 5 \hat{i}-7 \hat{j}+10 \hat{k}$
$b+c = (3+5) \hat{i} + (-4-3) \hat{j} + (5-2) \hat{k} = 8 \hat{i}-7 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}$
$c+a = (5+2) \hat{i} + (-3-3) \hat{j} + (-2+5) \hat{k} = 7 \hat{i}-6 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}$
The volume of the parallelepiped is given by the scalar triple product $[a+b, b+c, c+a]$,which is the determinant of the matrix formed by these vectors:
$V = \begin{vmatrix} 5 & -7 & 10 \\ 8 & -7 & 3 \\ 7 & -6 & 3 \end{vmatrix}$
Expanding along the first row:
$V = 5((-7)(3) - (3)(-6)) - (-7)((8)(3) - (3)(7)) + 10((8)(-6) - (-7)(7))$
$V = 5(-21 + 18) + 7(24 - 21) + 10(-48 + 49)$
$V = 5(-3) + 7(3) + 10(1)$
$V = -15 + 21 + 10 = 16$
Thus,the volume of the parallelepiped is $16$ cubic units.

(A) Let the position vectors of vertices $A, B, D$ be $\vec{0}, \vec{b}, \vec{d}$ respectively. Then the position vector of $C$ is $\vec{b} + \vec{d}$.
Since $P$ divides $AD$ in the ratio $3:1$,the position vector of $P$ is $\vec{p} = \frac{3\vec{d} + 1\vec{0}}{3+1} = \frac{3}{4}\vec{d}$.
Let $Q$ divide $BP$ in the ratio $k:1$ and $AC$ in the ratio $m:1$.
The position vector of $Q$ on $BP$ is $\vec{q} = \frac{k\vec{p} + 1\vec{b}}{k+1} = \frac{k(\frac{3}{4}\vec{d}) + \vec{b}}{k+1} = \frac{1}{k+1}\vec{b} + \frac{3k}{4(k+1)}\vec{d}$.
The position vector of $Q$ on $AC$ is $\vec{q} = \frac{m\vec{c} + 1\vec{a}}{m+1} = \frac{m(\vec{b} + \vec{d})}{m+1} = \frac{m}{m+1}\vec{b} + \frac{m}{m+1}\vec{d}$.
Comparing the coefficients of $\vec{b}$ and $\vec{d}$:
$\frac{1}{k+1} = \frac{m}{m+1}$ and $\frac{3k}{4(k+1)} = \frac{m}{m+1}$.
Thus,$\frac{1}{k+1} = \frac{3k}{4(k+1)} \Rightarrow 4 = 3k \Rightarrow k = \frac{4}{3}$.
Substituting $k = \frac{4}{3}$ into $\frac{m}{m+1} = \frac{1}{k+1} = \frac{1}{4/3 + 1} = \frac{1}{7/3} = \frac{3}{7}$.
$7m = 3m + 3 \Rightarrow 4m = 3 \Rightarrow m = \frac{3}{4}$.
Therefore,$AQ:QC = m:1 = \frac{3}{4}:1 = 3:4$.

(D) The equations of the given lines in vector form are:
$L_1: \vec{r} = (3 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j} - 2 \hat{k}) + \lambda(-\hat{i} + 2 \hat{j} + \hat{k})$
$L_2: \vec{r} = (\hat{i} - 7 \hat{j} - 2 \hat{k}) + \mu(\hat{i} + 3 \hat{j} + 2 \hat{k})$
Here,$\vec{a}_1 = 3 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j} - 2 \hat{k}$,$\vec{a}_2 = \hat{i} - 7 \hat{j} - 2 \hat{k}$,$\vec{b}_1 = -\hat{i} + 2 \hat{j} + \hat{k}$,and $\vec{b}_2 = \hat{i} + 3 \hat{j} + 2 \hat{k}$.
First,calculate $\vec{a}_2 - \vec{a}_1 = (1-3)\hat{i} + (-7-4)\hat{j} + (-2 - (-2))\hat{k} = -2 \hat{i} - 11 \hat{j} + 0 \hat{k}$.
Next,calculate the cross product $\vec{b}_1 \times \vec{b}_2 = \begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ -1 & 2 & 1 \\ 1 & 3 & 2 \end{vmatrix} = \hat{i}(4-3) - \hat{j}(-2-1) + \hat{k}(-3-2) = \hat{i} + 3 \hat{j} - 5 \hat{k}$.
The magnitude is $|\vec{b}_1 \times \vec{b}_2| = \sqrt{1^2 + 3^2 + (-5)^2} = \sqrt{1 + 9 + 25} = \sqrt{35}$.
The shortest distance $d$ is given by $d = \left| \frac{(\vec{a}_2 - \vec{a}_1) \cdot (\vec{b}_1 \times \vec{b}_2)}{|\vec{b}_1 \times \vec{b}_2|} \right|$.
$d = \left| \frac{(-2 \hat{i} - 11 \hat{j} + 0 \hat{k}) \cdot (\hat{i} + 3 \hat{j} - 5 \hat{k})}{\sqrt{35}} \right| = \left| \frac{-2 - 33 + 0}{\sqrt{35}} \right| = \left| \frac{-35}{\sqrt{35}} \right| = \sqrt{35}$.

(B) Let the equation of the plane be $\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}+\frac{z}{c}=1$.
Since the plane meets the coordinate axes at $P, Q, R$ respectively,the coordinates of the points $P, Q, R$ are $(a, 0, 0), (0, b, 0), (0, 0, c)$ respectively.
The centroid of $\triangle P Q R$ is given by $\left(\frac{a+0+0}{3}, \frac{0+b+0}{3}, \frac{0+0+c}{3}\right) = \left(\frac{a}{3}, \frac{b}{3}, \frac{c}{3}\right)$.
Given that the centroid is $\left(1, \frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{3}\right)$,we equate the coordinates:
$\frac{a}{3} = 1 \Rightarrow a = 3$
$\frac{b}{3} = \frac{1}{2} \Rightarrow b = \frac{3}{2}$
$\frac{c}{3} = \frac{1}{3} \Rightarrow c = 1$
Substituting these values into the intercept form of the plane equation:
$\frac{x}{3} + \frac{y}{3/2} + \frac{z}{1} = 1$
$\frac{x}{3} + \frac{2y}{3} + z = 1$
Multiplying by $3$,we get $x + 2y + 3z = 3$.

(A) Given: $P(A | B) = 0.6$,$P(B | A) = 0.3$,and $P(A) = 0.1$.
Using the definition of conditional probability,$P(B | A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}$.
Substituting the values: $0.3 = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{0.1} \implies P(A \cap B) = 0.03$.
Next,$P(A | B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}$.
Substituting the values: $0.6 = \frac{0.03}{P(B)} \implies P(B) = \frac{0.03}{0.6} = 0.05$.
By De Morgan's Law,$P(\bar{A} \cap \bar{B}) = P(\overline{A \cup B}) = 1 - P(A \cup B)$.
Using the addition rule,$P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)$.
$P(A \cup B) = 0.1 + 0.05 - 0.03 = 0.12$.
Therefore,$P(\bar{A} \cap \bar{B}) = 1 - 0.12 = 0.88$.

(A) Let $E_1$ and $E_2$ be the events that the selected student is a woman and a man,respectively. Let $A$ be the event that the selected student is taller than $1.8 \ m$.
Given:
$P(E_1) = 60/100 = 0.6$
$P(E_2) = 40/100 = 0.4$
$P(A|E_1) = 1/100 = 0.01$
$P(A|E_2) = 4/100 = 0.04$
By Bayes' Theorem,the probability that the student is a woman given that they are taller than $1.8 \ m$ is:
$P(E_1|A) = \frac{P(E_1) \cdot P(A|E_1)}{P(E_1) \cdot P(A|E_1) + P(E_2) \cdot P(A|E_2)}$
$P(E_1|A) = \frac{0.6 \times 0.01}{(0.6 \times 0.01) + (0.4 \times 0.04)}$
$P(E_1|A) = \frac{0.006}{0.006 + 0.016} = \frac{0.006}{0.022} = \frac{6}{22} = \frac{3}{11}$

(C) Let $X$ be the number of heads in $100$ tosses. $X$ follows a binomial distribution $B(n, p)$ where $n = 100$.
The probability of getting $k$ heads is given by $P(X=k) = {}^{n}C_{k} p^{k} (1-p)^{n-k}$.
Given that $P(X=50) = P(X=51)$,we have:
${}^{100}C_{50} p^{50} (1-p)^{50} = {}^{100}C_{51} p^{51} (1-p)^{49}$
Dividing both sides by $p^{50} (1-p)^{49}$,we get:
${}^{100}C_{50} (1-p) = {}^{100}C_{51} p$
Using the formula ${}^{n}C_{r} = \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}$,we have:
$\frac{100!}{50! 50!} (1-p) = \frac{100!}{51! 49!} p$
$\frac{1-p}{50!} = \frac{p}{51 \times 50! \times \frac{49!}{50!}} \Rightarrow \frac{1-p}{50} = \frac{p}{51}$
$51(1-p) = 50p$
$51 - 51p = 50p$
$101p = 51$
$p = \frac{51}{101}$

(B) Given that $X$ is a binomial variate with $n=6$ and probability of success $p$. Let $q = 1-p$ be the probability of failure.
The probability mass function is given by $P(X=r) = {}^{n}C_{r} p^{r} q^{n-r}$.
We are given the condition $4 P(X=4) = P(X=2)$.
Substituting the formula:
$4 \cdot {}^{6}C_{4} p^{4} q^{6-4} = {}^{6}C_{2} p^{2} q^{6-2}$
$4 \cdot {}^{6}C_{4} p^{4} q^{2} = {}^{6}C_{2} p^{2} q^{4}$
Since ${}^{6}C_{4} = {}^{6}C_{2} = 15$,we can cancel them:
$4 p^{4} q^{2} = p^{2} q^{4}$
Dividing both sides by $p^{2} q^{2}$ (assuming $p, q \neq 0$):
$4 p^{2} = q^{2}$
Taking the square root of both sides:
$2p = q$
Since $q = 1-p$,we have:
$2p = 1-p$
$3p = 1$
$p = 1/3$
