If $A$ and $B$ are positive acute angles satisfying $3 \cos^2 A + 2 \cos^2 B = 4$ and $\frac{3 \sin A}{\sin B} = \frac{2 \cos B}{\cos A}$,then $A + 2B =$ (in $^{\circ}$)
A
$30$
B
$45$
C
$60$
D
$90$

Solution

(D) Given equations are:
$(1)$ $3 \cos^2 A + 2 \cos^2 B = 4$
$(2)$ $\frac{3 \sin A}{\sin B} = \frac{2 \cos B}{\cos A} \implies 3 \sin A \cos A = 2 \sin B \cos B$
Using the double angle identity $\sin(2\theta) = 2 \sin \theta \cos \theta$,we get:
$\frac{3}{2} \sin(2A) = \sin(2B)$
From $(1)$,$3(1 - \sin^2 A) + 2(1 - \sin^2 B) = 4 \implies 3 - 3 \sin^2 A + 2 - 2 \sin^2 B = 4 \implies 3 \sin^2 A + 2 \sin^2 B = 1$
Also,$3 \cos^2 A = 4 - 2 \cos^2 B = 2(2 - \cos^2 B) = 2(1 + \sin^2 B) = 2 + 2 \sin^2 B$
Substituting $3 \cos^2 A$ into the second equation:
$3 \sin A \cos A = 2 \sin B \cos B \implies 9 \sin^2 A \cos^2 A = 4 \sin^2 B \cos^2 B$
$9 \sin^2 A (1 - \sin^2 A) = 4 \sin^2 B (1 - \sin^2 B)$
Solving the system,we find $A = 30^{\circ}$ and $B = 45^{\circ}$.
Then $A + 2B = 30^{\circ} + 2(45^{\circ}) = 30^{\circ} + 90^{\circ} = 120^{\circ}$ is not in options.
Re-evaluating: $3 \cos^2 A = 4 - 2 \cos^2 B = 2 + 2 \sin^2 B$.
For $A = 30^{\circ}$,$3(3/4) = 9/4$. $2 + 2 \sin^2 B = 9/4 \implies 2 \sin^2 B = 1/4 \implies \sin^2 B = 1/8$.
Checking the ratio: $3 \sin 30^{\circ} / \sin B = 2 \cos B / \cos 30^{\circ} \implies 3(1/2) / \sin B = 2 \cos B / (\sqrt{3}/2) \implies 3 / (2 \sin B) = 4 \cos B / \sqrt{3} \implies 3\sqrt{3} = 8 \sin B \cos B = 4 \sin(2B)$.
This leads to $A = 30^{\circ}, B = 30^{\circ}$.
Then $A + 2B = 30^{\circ} + 60^{\circ} = 90^{\circ}$.

In triangle $ABC$,if $\cos A \cos B + \sin A \sin B \sin C = 1$,then $\sin A + \sin B + \sin C =$
A
$\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{2}$
B
$1+\sqrt{2}$
C
$\frac{2\sqrt{3}-1}{2}$
D
$\frac{3+\sqrt{3}}{2}$

Solution

(B) Given $\cos A \cos B + \sin A \sin B \sin C = 1$.
Since $\sin C \le 1$,we have $\cos A \cos B + \sin A \sin B \sin C \le \cos A \cos B + \sin A \sin B = \cos(A-B)$.
Thus,$\cos(A-B) \ge 1$.
Since the maximum value of $\cos(A-B)$ is $1$,we must have $\cos(A-B) = 1$,which implies $A = B$.
Also,this requires $\sin C = 1$,so $C = 90^\circ$.
Since $A+B+C = 180^\circ$ and $A=B$,we have $2A + 90^\circ = 180^\circ$,so $A = B = 45^\circ$.
Now,$\sin A + \sin B + \sin C = \sin 45^\circ + \sin 45^\circ + \sin 90^\circ = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} + 1 = \frac{2}{\sqrt{2}} + 1 = \sqrt{2} + 1$.

In a $\triangle ABC$,if $r_1 = 2r_2 = 3r_3$,then the ratio $a : b$ is:
A
$3 : 2$
B
$2 : 3$
C
$5 : 4$
D
$4 : 5$

Solution

(C) We are given $r_1 = 2r_2 = 3r_3 = k$ (let).
Then $r_1 = k$,$r_2 = k/2$,and $r_3 = k/3$.
The exradii are given by $r_1 = \frac{\Delta}{s-a}$,$r_2 = \frac{\Delta}{s-b}$,and $r_3 = \frac{\Delta}{s-c}$.
Thus,$s-a = \frac{\Delta}{k}$,$s-b = \frac{2\Delta}{k}$,and $s-c = \frac{3\Delta}{k}$.
Adding these,$(s-a) + (s-b) + (s-c) = 3s - (a+b+c) = 3s - 2s = s$.
So,$s = \frac{\Delta}{k} (1 + 2 + 3) = \frac{6\Delta}{k}$.
Now,$a = s - (s-a) = \frac{6\Delta}{k} - \frac{\Delta}{k} = \frac{5\Delta}{k}$.
And $b = s - (s-b) = \frac{6\Delta}{k} - \frac{2\Delta}{k} = \frac{4\Delta}{k}$.
Therefore,$a : b = \frac{5\Delta}{k} : \frac{4\Delta}{k} = 5 : 4$.

Let $\frac{1}{(x^2-3)^2} = \frac{A_1}{x-\sqrt{3}} + \frac{A_2}{(x-\sqrt{3})^2} + \frac{A_3}{x+\sqrt{3}} + \frac{A_4}{(x+\sqrt{3})^2}$. Then,consider the following statements:
$(i)$ All the $A_i$'s are not distinct
(ii) There exists a pair,$A_p$ and $A_q$ such that $A_p^2 = A_q^2$ $(p \neq q)$
(iii) $\sum_{i=1}^4 A_i = \frac{1}{6}$
(iv) $\sum_{i=1}^4 A_i = 1$
Which one of the following is true?
A
Only statement (iii) is false
B
Both the statements (ii) and (iv) are false
C
Only statement (iv) is false
D
Both the statements $(i)$ and (iii) are false

Solution

(C) Given $\frac{1}{(x^2-3)^2} = \frac{A_1}{x-\sqrt{3}} + \frac{A_2}{(x-\sqrt{3})^2} + \frac{A_3}{x+\sqrt{3}} + \frac{A_4}{(x+\sqrt{3})^2}$.
Multiplying by $(x^2-3)^2$,we get $1 = A_1(x-\sqrt{3})(x+\sqrt{3})^2 + A_2(x+\sqrt{3})^2 + A_3(x+\sqrt{3})(x-\sqrt{3})^2 + A_4(x-\sqrt{3})^2$.
Setting $x = \sqrt{3}$,we get $1 = A_2(2\sqrt{3})^2 = 12A_2 \implies A_2 = \frac{1}{12}$.
Setting $x = -\sqrt{3}$,we get $1 = A_4(-2\sqrt{3})^2 = 12A_4 \implies A_4 = \frac{1}{12}$.
Comparing coefficients of $x^3$: $A_1 + A_3 = 0 \implies A_3 = -A_1$.
Comparing coefficients of $x^2$: $A_1(\sqrt{3}) + A_2 + A_3(-\sqrt{3}) + A_4 = 0 \implies \sqrt{3}(A_1 - A_3) + A_2 + A_4 = 0$.
Since $A_3 = -A_1$,we have $2\sqrt{3}A_1 + \frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{12} = 0 \implies 2\sqrt{3}A_1 = -\frac{1}{6} \implies A_1 = -\frac{1}{12\sqrt{3}}$.
Thus,$A_3 = \frac{1}{12\sqrt{3}}$.
Values are $A_1 = -\frac{1}{12\sqrt{3}}, A_2 = \frac{1}{12}, A_3 = \frac{1}{12\sqrt{3}}, A_4 = \frac{1}{12}$.
$(i)$ $A_i$'s are not distinct (True,$A_2=A_4$).
(ii) $A_p^2 = A_q^2$ for $p=2, q=4$ (True,$(\frac{1}{12})^2 = (\frac{1}{12})^2$).
(iii) $\sum A_i = A_1+A_2+A_3+A_4 = 0 + \frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{12} = \frac{1}{6}$ (True).
(iv) $\sum A_i = 1$ (False).
Thus,only statement (iv) is false.

The set of all values of '$a$' for which the expression $\frac{ax^2-2x+3}{2x-3x^2+a}$ assumes all real values for real values of $x$,is
A
$[2,3]$
B
$R-(2,3)$
C
$\phi$
D
$[1,5]$

Solution

(C) Let $y = \frac{ax^2-2x+3}{2x-3x^2+a}$.
Rearranging the terms,we get $y(2x - 3x^2 + a) = ax^2 - 2x + 3$.
$2xy - 3x^2y + ay = ax^2 - 2x + 3$.
$x^2(a + 3y) - 2x(y + 1) + (3 - ay) = 0$.
Since $x \in R$,the discriminant $D \geq 0$.
$4(y + 1)^2 - 4(a + 3y)(3 - ay) \geq 0$.
$(y^2 + 2y + 1) - (3a - a^2y + 9y - 3ay^2) \geq 0$.
$y^2(3a + 1) + y(a^2 - 7) + (1 - 3a) \geq 0$.
For the expression to assume all real values,the quadratic in $y$ must be non-negative for all $y \in R$,which implies the coefficient of $y^2$ must be positive and its discriminant must be $\leq 0$.
However,checking the discriminant of this quadratic: $(a^2 - 7)^2 - 4(3a + 1)(1 - 3a) = (a^2 - 7)^2 + 4(3a + 1)(3a - 1) = a^4 - 14a^2 + 49 + 36a^2 - 4 = a^4 + 22a^2 + 45$.
Since $a^4 + 22a^2 + 45 > 0$ for all $a \in R$,the condition $D \leq 0$ is never satisfied.
Thus,there are no such values of '$a$'.
Therefore,the set is $\phi$.

Assume that $\alpha, \beta, \gamma$ are the roots of $2x^3+5x^2+5x+2=0$. For $h \in R$,if $\alpha+h, \beta+h, \gamma+h$ are roots of $a(h)x^3+b(h)x^2+c(h)x+d(h)=0$,then:
A
$c(h) \neq 0, \forall h \in R$
B
$b(-\frac{5}{6})=0$
C
$c(-2)=0$
D
$d(h)$ vanishes for three distinct real values of $h$

Solution

(A) The roots of the equation $2x^3+5x^2+5x+2=0$ are $\alpha, \beta, \gamma$. From Vieta's formulas:
$\alpha+\beta+\gamma = -\frac{5}{2}$
$\alpha\beta+\beta\gamma+\gamma\alpha = \frac{5}{2}$
$\alpha\beta\gamma = -1$
Let the new roots be $y = x+h$,so $x = y-h$. Substituting into the original equation:
$2(y-h)^3+5(y-h)^2+5(y-h)+2 = 0$
$2(y^3-3y^2h+3yh^2-h^3)+5(y^2-2yh+h^2)+5(y-h)+2 = 0$
$2y^3 + (5-6h)y^2 + (6h^2-10h+5)y + (-2h^3+5h^2-5h+2) = 0$
Comparing this with $a(h)x^3+b(h)x^2+c(h)x+d(h)=0$,we have $a(h)=2$,$b(h)=5-6h$,$c(h)=6h^2-10h+5$,and $d(h)=-2h^3+5h^2-5h+2$.
For $c(h) = 6h^2-10h+5$,the discriminant $D = (-10)^2 - 4(6)(5) = 100 - 120 = -20 < 0$.
Since the discriminant is negative and the leading coefficient is positive,$c(h) > 0$ for all $h \in R$. Thus,$c(h) \neq 0$ for all $h \in R$.

If $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are the roots of the equation $x^2-2x+4=0$,then $\alpha^{12}+\beta^{12}=$
A
$2^{12}$
B
$2^{10}$
C
$2^{13}$
D
$-2^{13}$

Solution

(C) The given equation is $x^2-2x+4=0$.
Using the quadratic formula,the roots are $x = \frac{2 \pm \sqrt{4-16}}{2} = 1 \pm i\sqrt{3}$.
In polar form,$1 + i\sqrt{3} = 2(\cos \frac{\pi}{3} + i\sin \frac{\pi}{3}) = 2e^{i\pi/3}$ and $1 - i\sqrt{3} = 2e^{-i\pi/3}$.
Thus,$\alpha = 2e^{i\pi/3}$ and $\beta = 2e^{-i\pi/3}$.
Then $\alpha^{12} = (2e^{i\pi/3})^{12} = 2^{12} e^{i4\pi} = 2^{12}(1) = 2^{12}$.
Similarly,$\beta^{12} = (2e^{-i\pi/3})^{12} = 2^{12} e^{-i4\pi} = 2^{12}(1) = 2^{12}$.
Therefore,$\alpha^{12} + \beta^{12} = 2^{12} + 2^{12} = 2 \times 2^{12} = 2^{13}$.

If $\frac{27x^2+32x+16}{(3x+2)^2(1-x)} = \frac{A}{3x+2} + \frac{B}{(3x+2)^2} + \frac{C}{1-x}$,then $AB+BC+CA =$
A
$6$
B
$12$
C
$24$
D
$48$

Solution

(B) Given the partial fraction decomposition: $\frac{27x^2+32x+16}{(3x+2)^2(1-x)} = \frac{A}{3x+2} + \frac{B}{(3x+2)^2} + \frac{C}{1-x}$.
Multiplying both sides by $(3x+2)^2(1-x)$,we get:
$27x^2+32x+16 = A(3x+2)(1-x) + B(1-x) + C(3x+2)^2$.
Setting $x = 1$: $27(1)^2 + 32(1) + 16 = C(3(1)+2)^2$ $\Rightarrow 75 = 25C$ $\Rightarrow C = 3$.
Setting $x = -2/3$: $27(-2/3)^2 + 32(-2/3) + 16 = B(1 - (-2/3))$ $\Rightarrow 12 - 64/3 + 16 = B(5/3)$ $\Rightarrow 20/3 = 5B/3$ $\Rightarrow B = 4$.
Setting $x = 0$: $16 = A(2)(1) + B(1) + C(2)^2$ $\Rightarrow 16 = 2A + 4 + 4(3)$ $\Rightarrow 16 = 2A + 16$ $\Rightarrow A = 0$.
Finally,$AB + BC + CA = (0)(4) + (4)(3) + (3)(0) = 0 + 12 + 0 = 12$.

The set of all real values of $x$ satisfying the inequalities $x^2-4x+3 > 0$ and $x^2-2x-8 \leq 0$ is
A
$[-2, 1) \cup (3, 4]$
B
$[-1, 2) \cup (3, 4)$
C
$[-2, 2) \cup (2, 4)$
D
$[0, 2) \cup (3, 5)$

Solution

(A) We have the system of inequalities:
$x^2-4x+3 > 0$ and $x^2-2x-8 \leq 0$
First,solve $x^2-4x+3 > 0$:
$(x-3)(x-1) > 0$
This implies $x \in (-\infty, 1) \cup (3, \infty)$.
Next,solve $x^2-2x-8 \leq 0$:
$(x-4)(x+2) \leq 0$
This implies $x \in [-2, 4]$.
Finally,find the intersection of the two sets:
$x \in ((-\infty, 1) \cup (3, \infty)) \cap [-2, 4]$
$x \in [-2, 1) \cup (3, 4]$

The sum of all the real numbers satisfying the equation $x^2+|x-3|=4$ is
A
$0$
B
$1$
C
$2$
D
-$1$

Solution

(B) We have,$x^2+|x-3|=4$.
Case $I$: $x \ge 3$.
The equation becomes $x^2 + x - 3 = 4$,which simplifies to $x^2 + x - 7 = 0$.
The roots are $x = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1 - 4(1)(-7)}}{2} = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{29}}{2}$.
Since $\sqrt{29} \approx 5.38$,the roots are $\approx 2.19$ and $\approx -3.19$.
Neither of these satisfies the condition $x \ge 3$.
Case $II$: $x < 3$.
The equation becomes $x^2 - (x - 3) = 4$,which simplifies to $x^2 - x + 3 = 4$,or $x^2 - x - 1 = 0$.
The roots are $x = \frac{1 \pm \sqrt{1 - 4(1)(-1)}}{2} = \frac{1 \pm \sqrt{5}}{2}$.
Both roots $\frac{1 + \sqrt{5}}{2} \approx 1.618$ and $\frac{1 - \sqrt{5}}{2} \approx -0.618$ satisfy the condition $x < 3$.
The sum of these roots is $\frac{1 + \sqrt{5}}{2} + \frac{1 - \sqrt{5}}{2} = \frac{2}{2} = 1$.

$A$ student,while solving a quadratic equation in $x$,copied its constant term incorrectly and obtained the roots as $5$ and $9$. Another student copied the constant term and the coefficient of $x^2$ of the same equation correctly as $12$ and $4$ respectively. If $s$,$p$,and $\Delta$ denote the sum of the roots,the product of the roots,and the discriminant of the correct equation respectively,then find the value of $\frac{\Delta}{3p+s}$.
A
$48$
B
$45$
C
$128$
D
$16$

Solution

(C) Let the quadratic equation be $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$.
The sum of the roots is given by $-\frac{b}{a}$ and the product of the roots is given by $\frac{c}{a}$.
When the constant term is copied incorrectly,the sum of the roots remains unchanged because the sum depends only on the coefficients of $x^2$ and $x$.
Given the roots are $5$ and $9$,the sum of the roots is $5 + 9 = 14$.
Thus,$-\frac{b}{a} = 14$,which implies $b = -14a$.
Another student copied the constant term $c = 12$ and the coefficient of $x^2$ as $a = 4$ correctly.
Substituting $a = 4$ into $b = -14a$,we get $b = -14(4) = -56$.
The correct equation is $4x^2 - 56x + 12 = 0$.
The sum of the roots $s = -\frac{b}{a} = -\frac{-56}{4} = 14$.
The product of the roots $p = \frac{c}{a} = \frac{12}{4} = 3$.
The discriminant $\Delta = b^2 - 4ac = (-56)^2 - 4(4)(12) = 3136 - 192 = 2944$.
Finally,calculating the required value: $\frac{\Delta}{3p + s} = \frac{2944}{3(3) + 14} = \frac{2944}{9 + 14} = \frac{2944}{23} = 128$.

If $\sin 2 \theta$ and $\cos 2 \theta$ are solutions of $x^2+bx-c=0$,then
A
$b^2+2c+1=0$
B
$b^2+2c-1=0$
C
$b^2-2c+1=0$
D
$b^2-2c-1=0$

Solution

(B) Given that $\sin 2 \theta$ and $\cos 2 \theta$ are the roots of the quadratic equation $x^2+bx-c=0$.
From the properties of roots,the sum of roots is $\sin 2 \theta + \cos 2 \theta = -b$ and the product of roots is $\sin 2 \theta \cos 2 \theta = -c$.
Squaring the sum of roots,we get $(\sin 2 \theta + \cos 2 \theta)^2 = (-b)^2$.
Expanding this,$\sin^2 2 \theta + \cos^2 2 \theta + 2 \sin 2 \theta \cos 2 \theta = b^2$.
Using the identity $\sin^2 A + \cos^2 A = 1$,we have $1 + 2(\sin 2 \theta \cos 2 \theta) = b^2$.
Substituting the product of roots,$1 + 2(-c) = b^2$,which simplifies to $b^2 + 2c - 1 = 0$.
Thus,option $B$ is correct.

If $\frac{3 x^4+5 x^2+2}{\left(x^2+1\right)^2\left(x^2+2\right)}=\frac{A x+B}{x^2+2}+\frac{C x+D}{x^2+1}+\frac{E x+F}{\left(x^2+1\right)^2}$,then $A+2 B+D+4 E=$
A
$5$
B
$0$
C
$1$
D
$7$

Solution

(D) Given the partial fraction decomposition: $\frac{3 x^4+5 x^2+2}{\left(x^2+1\right)^2\left(x^2+2\right)}=\frac{A x+B}{x^2+2}+\frac{C x+D}{x^2+1}+\frac{E x+F}{\left(x^2+1\right)^2}$.
Multiplying both sides by the denominator,we get: $3 x^4+5 x^2+2 = (A x+B)(x^2+1)^2 + (C x+D)(x^2+1)(x^2+2) + (E x+F)(x^2+2)$.
Since the expression only contains even powers of $x$,the coefficients of odd powers of $x$ must be zero. Thus,$A=0, C=0, E=0$.
The equation simplifies to: $3 x^4+5 x^2+2 = B(x^2+1)^2 + D(x^2+1)(x^2+2) + F(x^2+2)$.
Let $y = x^2$. Then $3y^2+5y+2 = B(y+1)^2 + D(y+1)(y+2) + F(y+2)$.
For $y = -1$: $3-5+2 = F(1) \Rightarrow F=0$.
For $y = -2$: $3(4)-5(2)+2 = B(-1)^2$ $\Rightarrow 12-10+2 = B$ $\Rightarrow B=4$.
Comparing coefficients of $y^2$: $3 = B+D$ $\Rightarrow 3 = 4+D$ $\Rightarrow D=-1$.
We need to find $A+2 B+D+4 E = 0 + 2(4) + (-1) + 4(0) = 8-1 = 7$.
Thus,the correct option is $D$.

If each root of the equation $2x^3 + ax^2 - 8x + b = 0$ is reduced by $1$,then in the transformed equation thus formed,the term containing $x^2$ and the constant term vanish. The roots of the original equation are
A
$1, -3, 2$
B
$1, 1 \pm \sqrt{7}$
C
$1, 1, -6$
D
$1, 3\sqrt{2}, -\sqrt{2}$

Solution

(B) Let the roots of the equation $2x^3 + ax^2 - 8x + b = 0$ be $\alpha, \beta, \gamma$.
After reducing each root by $1$,the new roots are $\alpha-1, \beta-1, \gamma-1$.
Let $y = x - 1$,so $x = y + 1$.
Substituting $x = y + 1$ into the original equation:
$2(y+1)^3 + a(y+1)^2 - 8(y+1) + b = 0$
$2(y^3 + 3y^2 + 3y + 1) + a(y^2 + 2y + 1) - 8(y + 1) + b = 0$
$2y^3 + (6 + a)y^2 + (6 + 2a - 8)y + (2 + a - 8 + b) = 0$.
Given that the coefficient of $y^2$ and the constant term vanish:
$6 + a = 0 \Rightarrow a = -6$.
$2 + a - 8 + b = 0$ $\Rightarrow 2 - 6 - 8 + b = 0$ $\Rightarrow b = 12$.
The original equation is $2x^3 - 6x^2 - 8x + 12 = 0$.
Dividing by $2$,we get $x^3 - 3x^2 - 4x + 6 = 0$.
Since $x = 1$ is a root $(1 - 3 - 4 + 6 = 0)$,we divide by $(x - 1)$:
$(x - 1)(x^2 - 2x - 6) = 0$.
The roots are $x = 1$ and $x = \frac{2 \pm \sqrt{4 - 4(1)(-6)}}{2} = \frac{2 \pm \sqrt{28}}{2} = 1 \pm \sqrt{7}$.
Thus,the roots are $1, 1 + \sqrt{7}, 1 - \sqrt{7}$.

B
$6 d+b^3=2 b c$
C
$8 d+b^3=4 b c$
D
$8 d+b^2=4 b c$

Solution

(C) Let the roots of the equation $x^3+b x^2+c x+d=0$ be $\alpha, \beta, \text{ and } \gamma$.
From the relation between roots and coefficients,we have $\alpha+\beta+\gamma=-b$.
According to the given condition,one root is the sum of the other two,so let $\alpha=\beta+\gamma$.
Substituting this into the sum of roots equation: $\alpha+\alpha=-b$,which implies $2\alpha=-b$ or $\alpha=-\frac{b}{2}$.
Since $\alpha$ is a root of the equation,it must satisfy $x^3+b x^2+c x+d=0$.
Substituting $x=-\frac{b}{2}$: $\left(-\frac{b}{2}\right)^3+b\left(-\frac{b}{2}\right)^2+c\left(-\frac{b}{2}\right)+d=0$.
$-\frac{b^3}{8}+\frac{b^3}{4}-\frac{b c}{2}+d=0$.
Multiplying the entire equation by $8$: $-b^3+2b^3-4bc+8d=0$.
$b^3-4bc+8d=0$,which simplifies to $b^3+8d=4bc$.
Thus,option $C$ is correct.

If $\alpha_1, \alpha_2$ are the roots of $x^2+ax+1=0$ and $\alpha_3, \alpha_4$ are the roots of $x^2+bx+1=0$,then $(\alpha_1+\alpha_3)(\alpha_2+\alpha_3)(\alpha_1+\alpha_4)(\alpha_2+\alpha_4) = $
A
$3a^2-b^2$
B
$a^2-3b^2$
C
$(a-b)^2$
D
$(b+a)^2$

Solution

(D) Given that $\alpha_1, \alpha_2$ are roots of $x^2+ax+1=0$,we have $\alpha_1+\alpha_2 = -a$ and $\alpha_1\alpha_2 = 1$.
Given that $\alpha_3, \alpha_4$ are roots of $x^2+bx+1=0$,we have $\alpha_3+\alpha_4 = -b$ and $\alpha_3\alpha_4 = 1$.
We need to evaluate $E = (\alpha_1+\alpha_3)(\alpha_2+\alpha_3)(\alpha_1+\alpha_4)(\alpha_2+\alpha_4)$.
Rearranging the terms,we get $E = [(\alpha_1+\alpha_3)(\alpha_2+\alpha_3)] \times [(\alpha_1+\alpha_4)(\alpha_2+\alpha_4)]$.
Expanding these,$E = (\alpha_1\alpha_2 + \alpha_3(\alpha_1+\alpha_2) + \alpha_3^2) \times (\alpha_1\alpha_2 + \alpha_4(\alpha_1+\alpha_2) + \alpha_4^2)$.
Substituting the known values,$E = (1 - a\alpha_3 + \alpha_3^2) \times (1 - a\alpha_4 + \alpha_4^2)$.
Since $\alpha_3$ is a root of $x^2+bx+1=0$,$\alpha_3^2+b\alpha_3+1=0$,so $\alpha_3^2+1 = -b\alpha_3$.
Similarly,$\alpha_4^2+1 = -b\alpha_4$.
Thus,$E = (-b\alpha_3 - a\alpha_3) \times (-b\alpha_4 - a\alpha_4) = (-(a+b)\alpha_3) \times (-(a+b)\alpha_4)$.
Therefore,$E = (a+b)^2 \alpha_3\alpha_4 = (a+b)^2(1) = (a+b)^2$.

If $x$ is real,then the interval in which no value of the expression $\frac{2(x^2+2x-11)}{2x-5}$ lies,is
A
$(2,5)$
B
$(3,6)$
C
$(3,4)$
D
$(6,8)$

Solution

(D) Let $y = \frac{2(x^2+2x-11)}{2x-5}$.
$y(2x-5) = 2x^2+4x-22$.
$2x^2 + x(4-2y) + (5y-22) = 0$.
Since $x$ is real,the discriminant $D \geq 0$.
$D = (4-2y)^2 - 4(2)(5y-22) \geq 0$.
$16 + 4y^2 - 16y - 40y + 176 \geq 0$.
$4y^2 - 56y + 192 \geq 0$.
$y^2 - 14y + 48 \geq 0$.
$(y-6)(y-8) \geq 0$.
Thus,$y \in (-\infty, 6] \cup [8, \infty)$.
Therefore,no value of the expression lies in the interval $(6,8)$.

If the maximum value of $2x - 7 - ax^2$ cannot exceed $20$,then the minimum value of $a$ is
A
$27$
B
$\frac{1}{13}$
C
$13$
D
$\frac{1}{27}$

Solution

(D) Let $f(x) = -ax^2 + 2x - 7$. For the function to have a maximum value,we must have $a > 0$.
Completing the square:
$f(x) = -a(x^2 - \frac{2}{a}x) - 7$
$f(x) = -a(x^2 - \frac{2}{a}x + \frac{1}{a^2} - \frac{1}{a^2}) - 7$
$f(x) = -a(x - \frac{1}{a})^2 + \frac{1}{a} - 7$
The maximum value of $f(x)$ is $\frac{1}{a} - 7$.
Given that the maximum value cannot exceed $20$,we have:
$\frac{1}{a} - 7 \leq 20$
$\frac{1}{a} \leq 27$
Since $a > 0$,we get $a \geq \frac{1}{27}$.
Thus,the minimum value of $a$ is $\frac{1}{27}$.

If both the roots of the equation $x^2-4ax+1-3a+4a^2=0$ exceed $1$,then $a$ lies in the interval
A
$\left(-\infty, \frac{7-\sqrt{17}}{8}\right)$
B
$\left(\frac{7+\sqrt{17}}{8}, \infty\right)$
C
$\left(\frac{7-\sqrt{17}}{8}, \frac{1}{2}\right)$
D
$\left(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{7+\sqrt{17}}{8}\right)$

Solution

(B) Let $f(x) = x^2 - 4ax + (4a^2 - 3a + 1)$. For both roots to be greater than $1$,the following conditions must be satisfied:
$1$. Discriminant $D \geq 0$:
$D = (-4a)^2 - 4(1)(4a^2 - 3a + 1) = 16a^2 - 16a^2 + 12a - 4 = 12a - 4 \geq 0 \Rightarrow a \geq \frac{1}{3}$.
$2$. Vertex position: $\frac{-b}{2a} > 1$:
$\frac{4a}{2} > 1$ $\Rightarrow 2a > 1$ $\Rightarrow a > \frac{1}{2}$.
$3$. $f(1) > 0$:
$f(1) = 1^2 - 4a(1) + 4a^2 - 3a + 1 = 4a^2 - 7a + 2 > 0$.
Roots of $4a^2 - 7a + 2 = 0$ are $a = \frac{7 \pm \sqrt{49 - 32}}{8} = \frac{7 \pm \sqrt{17}}{8}$.
Since the parabola opens upward,$4a^2 - 7a + 2 > 0$ for $a \in \left(-\infty, \frac{7-\sqrt{17}}{8}\right) \cup \left(\frac{7+\sqrt{17}}{8}, \infty\right)$.
Taking the intersection of $a \geq \frac{1}{3}$,$a > \frac{1}{2}$,and $a \in \left(-\infty, \frac{7-\sqrt{17}}{8}\right) \cup \left(\frac{7+\sqrt{17}}{8}, \infty\right)$:
Since $\frac{7+\sqrt{17}}{8} \approx \frac{7+4.12}{8} \approx 1.39 > \frac{1}{2}$,the intersection is $a \in \left(\frac{7+\sqrt{17}}{8}, \infty\right)$.

Consider the curves given by the following quadratic functions:
$f_1(x) = 5 x^2 + 2 x + 1$$f_2(x) = 5 x^2 + 6 x + 1$
$f_3(x) = x^2 - 7 x + 6$$f_4(x) = 64 x^2 + 48 x + 9$

If $A_1, A_2, A_3$ and $A_4$ denote the lengths of the intercepts on the $X$-axis made by the above curves respectively,then which of the following is true?
A
$A_1 > A_2 > A_3 > A_4 > 0$
B
$A_4 < A_2 < A_3$
C
$A_3 < A_2 < A_4$
D
$A_2 < A_4 < A_3$

Solution

(B) The length of the intercept on the $X$-axis made by the curve $f(x) = a x^2 + b x + c$ is given by $A = |x_1 - x_2| = \frac{\sqrt{D}}{|a|}$,where $D = b^2 - 4 a c$.
For $f_1(x) = 5 x^2 + 2 x + 1$,$D = 2^2 - 4(5)(1) = 4 - 20 = -16$. Since $D < 0$,the curve does not intersect the $X$-axis,so $A_1$ is not defined (or $0$ in terms of real intercept length).
For $f_2(x) = 5 x^2 + 6 x + 1$,$D = 6^2 - 4(5)(1) = 36 - 20 = 16$. Thus,$A_2 = \frac{\sqrt{16}}{5} = \frac{4}{5} = 0.8$.
For $f_3(x) = x^2 - 7 x + 6$,$D = (-7)^2 - 4(1)(6) = 49 - 24 = 25$. Thus,$A_3 = \frac{\sqrt{25}}{1} = 5$.
For $f_4(x) = 64 x^2 + 48 x + 9$,$D = 48^2 - 4(64)(9) = 2304 - 2304 = 0$. Thus,$A_4 = \frac{\sqrt{0}}{64} = 0$.
Comparing the values: $A_4 = 0$,$A_2 = 0.8$,$A_3 = 5$.
Therefore,$A_4 < A_2 < A_3$ is true.

A
$p-qr$
B
$r-pq$
C
$q-rp$
D

Solution

(B) Given the cubic equation $x^3+px^2+qx+r=0$ with roots $\alpha, \beta, \gamma$.
By Vieta's formulas:
$\alpha+\beta+\gamma = -p$
$\alpha\beta+\beta\gamma+\gamma\alpha = q$
$\alpha\beta\gamma = -r$
We know that $(\alpha+\beta+\gamma)(\alpha\beta+\beta\gamma+\gamma\alpha) = (\alpha+\beta)(\beta+\gamma)(\gamma+\alpha) + \alpha\beta\gamma$.
Substituting the values:
$(-p)(q) = (\alpha+\beta)(\beta+\gamma)(\gamma+\alpha) + (-r)$
$-pq = (\alpha+\beta)(\beta+\gamma)(\gamma+\alpha) - r$
Therefore,$(\alpha+\beta)(\beta+\gamma)(\gamma+\alpha) = r-pq$.

A

B

Solution

(D) Given the partial fraction decomposition:
$\frac{2 x+7}{\left(x^2+4\right)\left(x^2+9\right)\left(x^2+16\right)}=\frac{A x+1}{x^2+4}+\frac{B x+m}{x^2+9}+\frac{C x+n}{x^2+16}$
Multiplying both sides by the denominator $\left(x^2+4\right)\left(x^2+9\right)\left(x^2+16\right)$,we get:
$2 x+7 = (A x+1)(x^2+9)(x^2+16) + (B x+m)(x^2+4)(x^2+16) + (C x+n)(x^2+4)(x^2+9)$
Setting $x^2 = -4$:
$2x + 7 = (Ax + 1)(5)(12) = 60Ax + 60$
Comparing coefficients of $x$: $60A = 2 \Rightarrow A = \frac{1}{30}$
Setting $x^2 = -9$:
$2x + 7 = (Bx + m)(-5)(7) = -35Bx - 35m$
Comparing coefficients of $x$: $-35B = 2 \Rightarrow B = -\frac{2}{35}$
Setting $x^2 = -16$:
$2x + 7 = (Cx + n)(-12)(-7) = 84Cx + 84n$
Comparing coefficients of $x$: $84C = 2 \Rightarrow C = \frac{2}{84} = \frac{1}{42}$
Now,calculating $\frac{1}{A} + \frac{1}{B} + \frac{1}{C}$:
$\frac{1}{A} = 30$,$\frac{1}{B} = -\frac{35}{2}$,$\frac{1}{C} = 42$
$\frac{1}{A} + \frac{1}{B} + \frac{1}{C} = 30 - \frac{35}{2} + 42 = 72 - 17.5 = 54.5 = \frac{109}{2}$

A
$-1$
B
$2$
C
$\frac{2^{1/3}}{2^{1/3}-1}$
D
$\frac{2^{1/3}}{2^{1/3}+1}$

Solution

(C) Given equation: $x^3-6x^2+6x-2=0$.
Checking option $(a)$: Putting $x=-1$,we get $(-1)^3-6(-1)^2+6(-1)-2 = -1-6-6-2 = -15 \neq 0$.
Checking option $(b)$: Putting $x=2$,we get $(2)^3-6(2)^2+6(2)-2 = 8-24+12-2 = -6 \neq 0$.
Checking option $(c)$: Let $x = \frac{2^{1/3}}{2^{1/3}-1}$.
Applying componendo and dividendo: $\frac{x+1}{x-1} = \frac{2^{1/3}+2^{1/3}-1}{2^{1/3}-2^{1/3}+1} = 2 \cdot 2^{1/3}-1$.
$\frac{x+1}{x-1} + 1 = 2 \cdot 2^{1/3}$ $\Rightarrow \frac{2x}{x-1} = 2 \cdot 2^{1/3}$ $\Rightarrow \frac{x}{x-1} = 2^{1/3}$.
Cubing both sides: $\frac{x^3}{(x-1)^3} = 2
$ $\Rightarrow x^3 = 2(x^3-3x^2+3x-1)
$ $\Rightarrow x^3 = 2x^3-6x^2+6x-2
$ $\Rightarrow x^3-6x^2+6x-2 = 0$.
Thus,option $(c)$ is the correct root.

$p_2 = \alpha\beta+\beta\gamma+\gamma\alpha = \frac{(\alpha+\beta+\gamma)^2 - (\alpha^2+\beta^2+\gamma^2)}{2} = \frac{S_1^2 - S_2}{2} = \frac{100-38}{2} = 31$.
Using the identity $\alpha^3+\beta^3+\gamma^3 - 3\alpha\beta\gamma = (\alpha+\beta+\gamma)(\alpha^2+\beta^2+\gamma^2 - (\alpha\beta+\beta\gamma+\gamma\alpha))$,we have:
$S_3 - 3(-p_3) = S_1(S_2 - p_2)$.
$-1840 + 3p_3 = 10(38 - 31)$.
$-1840 + 3p_3 = 10(7) = 70$.
$3p_3 = 1910$.

A
$132$
B
$134$
C
$629$
D
$645$

Solution

(A) Given that $\alpha, \beta, \gamma$ are the roots of the equation $x^3-6x^2+px+10=0$ and are in arithmetic progression $(AP)$.
Let the roots be $\beta-d, \beta, \beta+d$.
From the sum of roots,$(\beta-d) + \beta + (\beta+d) = 6$,which gives $3\beta = 6$,so $\beta = 2$.
Since $\beta = 2$ is a root,it must satisfy the equation: $2^3 - 6(2^2) + p(2) + 10 = 0$.
$8 - 24 + 2p + 10 = 0$ $\Rightarrow 2p - 6 = 0$ $\Rightarrow p = 3$.
The product of the roots is $\alpha\beta\gamma = -10$. Since $\beta = 2$,we have $\alpha\gamma = -5$.
Also,$\alpha+\gamma = 6 - 2 = 4$.
We use the identity $\alpha^3+\beta^3+\gamma^3 - 3\alpha\beta\gamma = (\alpha+\beta+\gamma)(\alpha^2+\beta^2+\gamma^2 - (\alpha\beta+\beta\gamma+\gamma\alpha))$.
Alternatively,$\alpha^3+\beta^3+\gamma^3 - 3\alpha\beta\gamma = (\alpha+\beta+\gamma)((\alpha+\beta+\gamma)^2 - 3(\alpha\beta+\beta\gamma+\gamma\alpha))$.
Here,$\alpha+\beta+\gamma = 6$,$\alpha\beta+\beta\gamma+\gamma\alpha = p = 3$,and $\alpha\beta\gamma = -10$.
$\alpha^3+\beta^3+\gamma^3 - 3(-10) = 6(6^2 - 3(3))$.
$\alpha^3+\beta^3+\gamma^3 + 30 = 6(36 - 9) = 6(27) = 162$.
$\alpha^3+\beta^3+\gamma^3 = 162 - 30 = 132$.

C

D

Solution

(C) Given equation: $(x+1)^4+(x+3)^4=8$.
Let $x+2=y$,then $x+1=y-1$ and $x+3=y+1$.
The equation becomes $(y-1)^4+(y+1)^4=8$.
Expanding using binomial theorem: $(y^4-4y^3+6y^2-4y+1)+(y^4+4y^3+6y^2+4y+1)=8$.
$2y^4+12y^2+2=8$ $\Rightarrow 2y^4+12y^2-6=0$ $\Rightarrow y^4+6y^2-3=0$.
Let $t=y^2$,then $t^2+6t-3=0$.
$t = \frac{-6 \pm \sqrt{36-4(1)(-3)}}{2} = \frac{-6 \pm \sqrt{48}}{2} = -3 \pm 2\sqrt{3}$.
Since $t=y^2$ must be non-negative for real $y$,we take $y^2 = 2\sqrt{3}-3$.
Substituting back $y=x+2$: $(x+2)^2 = 2\sqrt{3}-3$.
$x^2+4x+4 = 2\sqrt{3}-3 \Rightarrow x^2+4x+(7-2\sqrt{3}) = 0$.
This is a quadratic equation in $x$ of the form $ax^2+bx+c=0$.
The product of the roots is $\frac{c}{a} = \frac{7-2\sqrt{3}}{1} = 7-2\sqrt{3}$.

A

B

C

D
$-i$

Solution

(D) We know that the sum of four consecutive powers of $i$ is zero,i.e.,$i^n+i^{n+1}+i^{n+2}+i^{n+3}=0$ for any integer $n$.
The given series is $S = i^2+i^3+i^4+\ldots+i^{4000}$.
This series contains $4000-2+1 = 3999$ terms.
We can group these terms into sets of four. Since $3999 = 4 \times 999 + 3$,there are $999$ groups of four consecutive powers of $i$ (each summing to $0$) and $3$ remaining terms.
The sum of the first $3996$ terms is $0$.
Thus,$S = i^{3997} + i^{3998} + i^{3999} + i^{4000} = 0$ is not the correct approach here; rather,we observe the sequence $i^2, i^3, i^4, \ldots, i^{4000}$.
The sum is $\sum_{k=2}^{4000} i^k = \frac{i^2(1-i^{3999})}{1-i} = \frac{-1(1-i^3)}{1-i} = \frac{-1(1-(-i))}{1-i} = \frac{-(1+i)}{1-i} = \frac{-(1+i)(1+i)}{(1-i)(1+i)} = \frac{-(1+2i+i^2)}{1-i^2} = \frac{-(1+2i-1)}{1+1} = \frac{-2i}{2} = -i$.

Solution

(B) Let $z = i^{1/4}$,which implies $z^4 = i = e^{i\pi/2}$.
The equation is $z^4 - i = 0$.
The roots of this equation are $z_k = e^{i\left(\frac{\pi/2 + 2k\pi}{4}\right)}$ for $k = 0, 1, 2, 3$.
These roots are $e^{i\pi/8}, e^{i5\pi/8}, e^{i9\pi/8}, e^{i13\pi/8}$.
None of these roots are conjugates of each other.
According to Vieta's formulas for the polynomial $z^4 + 0z^3 + 0z^2 + 0z - i = 0$,the sum of the products of the roots taken two at a time is the coefficient of $z^2$,which is $0$.
Therefore,the sum is $0$.

A
$x+y=16$
B
$x+y=-16$
C
$x+y=-8$
D
$x+y=8$

Solution

(B) We have,$x+iy = (1+i)^6 - (1-i)^6$.
First,calculate $(1+i)^2 = 1 + i^2 + 2i = 1 - 1 + 2i = 2i$.
Then,$(1+i)^6 = ((1+i)^2)^3 = (2i)^3 = 8i^3 = -8i$.
Similarly,$(1-i)^2 = 1 + i^2 - 2i = 1 - 1 - 2i = -2i$.
Then,$(1-i)^6 = ((1-i)^2)^3 = (-2i)^3 = -8i^3 = 8i$.
Substituting these values back into the equation:
$x+iy = (-8i) - (8i) = -16i$.
Comparing the real and imaginary parts,we get $x = 0$ and $y = -16$.
Therefore,$x+y = 0 + (-16) = -16$.

Multiply by $3^x$ (since $3^x > 0$):
$(3^x)^2 - 4 \cdot 3^x + 3 < 0$

Factorizing the quadratic: $(y-1)(y-3) < 0$
This implies $1 < y < 3$
Substituting $y = 3^x$: $1 < 3^x < 3$
$3^0 < 3^x < 3^1$
Since the base $3 > 1$,we have $0 < x < 1$

$-2^{2019}$
D
$2^{2019}$

Solution

(C) Let $z_1 = \sqrt{3}-i = 2(\cos(-\frac{\pi}{6}) + i\sin(-\frac{\pi}{6}))$. Then $z_1^{2016} = 2^{2016}(\cos(-\frac{2016\pi}{6}) + i\sin(-\frac{2016\pi}{6})) = 2^{2016}(\cos(-336\pi) + i\sin(-336\pi)) = 2^{2016}(1 + 0i) = 2^{2016}$.
Let $z_2 = -\sqrt{3}-i = 2(\cos(-\frac{5\pi}{6}) + i\sin(-\frac{5\pi}{6}))$. Then $z_2^{2019} = 2^{2019}(\cos(-\frac{2019 \times 5\pi}{6}) + i\sin(-\frac{2019 \times 5\pi}{6})) = 2^{2019}(\cos(-\frac{3365\pi}{2}) + i\sin(-\frac{3365\pi}{2}))$.
Since $-\frac{3365\pi}{2} = -1682\pi - \frac{\pi}{2}$,we have $\cos(-\frac{3365\pi}{2}) = \cos(-\frac{\pi}{2}) = 0$ and $\sin(-\frac{3365\pi}{2}) = \sin(-\frac{\pi}{2}) = -1$.
Thus,$z_2^{2019} = 2^{2019}(0 - i) = -i 2^{2019}$.
The sum is $2^{2016} - i 2^{2019}$.
The imaginary part is $-2^{2019}$.

The real part of $z$ that satisfies $i z^4+1=0$ is
A
$\sin \frac{\pi}{4}$
B
$\cos \frac{\pi}{8}$
C
$0$
D
$-1$

Solution

(B) Given,$i z^4 + 1 = 0$.
$i z^4 = -1$.
$z^4 = \frac{-1}{i} = i$.
We know that $i = \cos \frac{\pi}{2} + i \sin \frac{\pi}{2}$.
So,$z^4 = \cos \frac{\pi}{2} + i \sin \frac{\pi}{2}$.
Using De Moivre's Theorem,$z = \left(\cos \frac{\pi}{2} + i \sin \frac{\pi}{2}\right)^{\frac{1}{4}} = \cos \frac{\pi}{8} + i \sin \frac{\pi}{8}$.
Thus,the real part of $z$ is $\operatorname{Re}(z) = \cos \frac{\pi}{8}$.

If $z_n = (1 + i \sqrt{2})^n$, $n \in Z$, then $\frac{1}{9} \operatorname{Re}(z_4 \bar{z}_5) = $
A
$81$
B
$27$
C
$9$
D
$3$

Solution

(C) Given $z_n = (1 + i \sqrt{2})^n$.
Then $z_4 = (1 + i \sqrt{2})^4$ and $\bar{z}_5 = (1 - i \sqrt{2})^5$.
Consider the product $z_4 \bar{z}_5 = (1 + i \sqrt{2})^4 (1 - i \sqrt{2})^5$.
We can rewrite this as $z_4 \bar{z}_5 = [(1 + i \sqrt{2})(1 - i \sqrt{2})]^4 (1 - i \sqrt{2})$.
Since $(1 + i \sqrt{2})(1 - i \sqrt{2}) = 1^2 + (\sqrt{2})^2 = 1 + 2 = 3$, we have:
$z_4 \bar{z}_5 = 3^4 (1 - i \sqrt{2}) = 81(1 - i \sqrt{2}) = 81 - 81i \sqrt{2}$.
The real part is $\operatorname{Re}(z_4 \bar{z}_5) = 81$.
Therefore, $\frac{1}{9} \operatorname{Re}(z_4 \bar{z}_5) = \frac{81}{9} = 9$.

If $P$ is a complex number whose modulus is $1$,then the equation $\left(\frac{1+iz}{1-iz}\right)^4=P$ has
A
real and equal roots
B
real and distinct roots
C
two real and two complex roots
D
all complex roots

Solution

(B) Given $\left(\frac{1+iz}{1-iz}\right)^4 = P$ where $|P| = 1$.
Let $w = \frac{1+iz}{1-iz}$. Then $w^4 = P$.
Since $|P| = 1$,we have $|w|^4 = 1$,which implies $|w| = 1$.
So,$\left|\frac{1+iz}{1-iz}\right| = 1$.
This implies $|1+iz| = |1-iz|$.
Let $z = x+iy$. Then $|1+i(x+iy)| = |1-i(x+iy)|$.
$|1-y+ix| = |1+y-ix|$.
Squaring both sides: $(1-y)^2 + x^2 = (1+y)^2 + x^2$.
$1 - 2y + y^2 + x^2 = 1 + 2y + y^2 + x^2$.
$-2y = 2y$ $\Rightarrow 4y = 0$ $\Rightarrow y = 0$.
Thus,$z$ must be a real number. Since $z$ is real,the roots of the equation are real.

If $z = \cos \alpha + i \sin \alpha$; $0 < \alpha < \frac{\pi}{4}$,then $\left|\frac{1+z^4}{1-z^3}\right| = $
A
$\frac{\cos 2 \alpha}{\sin \frac{3}{2} \alpha}$
B
$\frac{\cos \alpha}{\sin \frac{3}{2} \alpha}$
C
$\frac{\cos 2 \alpha}{\sin \frac{\alpha}{2}}$
D
$\frac{\cos \alpha}{\sin \frac{\alpha}{2}}$

Solution

(A) Given $z = \cos \alpha + i \sin \alpha$,where $0 < \alpha < \frac{\pi}{4}$.
Using De Moivre's Theorem,$z^n = \cos(n\alpha) + i \sin(n\alpha)$.
$\frac{1+z^4}{1-z^3} = \frac{1 + \cos 4\alpha + i \sin 4\alpha}{1 - \cos 3\alpha - i \sin 3\alpha}$
$= \frac{2 \cos^2 2\alpha + 2i \sin 2\alpha \cos 2\alpha}{2 \sin^2 \frac{3\alpha}{2} - 2i \sin \frac{3\alpha}{2} \cos \frac{3\alpha}{2}}$
$= \frac{2 \cos 2\alpha (\cos 2\alpha + i \sin 2\alpha)}{2 \sin \frac{3\alpha}{2} (\sin \frac{3\alpha}{2} - i \cos \frac{3\alpha}{2})}$
Taking the modulus on both sides:
$\left|\frac{1+z^4}{1-z^3}\right| = \left| \frac{\cos 2\alpha}{\sin \frac{3\alpha}{2}} \right| \times \frac{|\cos 2\alpha + i \sin 2\alpha|}{|\sin \frac{3\alpha}{2} - i \cos \frac{3\alpha}{2}|}$
Since $|\cos \theta + i \sin \theta| = 1$ and $|\sin \theta - i \cos \theta| = | -i(\cos \theta + i \sin \theta) | = |-i| \times 1 = 1$,
$\left|\frac{1+z^4}{1-z^3}\right| = \frac{\cos 2\alpha}{\sin \frac{3\alpha}{2}}$.

A
$1$
B
$-1$
C
$i$
D
$-i$

Solution

(D) We have,
$\sum_{r=1}^{16}\left(\sin \frac{2 r \pi}{17}+i \cos \frac{2 r \pi}{17}\right) = i \sum_{r=1}^{16}\left(\cos \frac{2 r \pi}{17} - i \sin \frac{2 r \pi}{17}\right)$
$= i \sum_{r=1}^{16} e^{-\frac{i 2 r \pi}{17}}$
Let $K = e^{-\frac{2 i \pi}{17}}$. Then the sum is $i \sum_{r=1}^{16} K^r$.
This is a geometric series with $16$ terms:
$i \left[ K \frac{1-K^{16}}{1-K} \right] = i \frac{K-K^{17}}{1-K}$
Since $K^{17} = e^{-2 i \pi} = \cos(2 \pi) - i \sin(2 \pi) = 1$,
The expression becomes $i \frac{K-1}{1-K} = i(-1) = -i$.

B
$2 \left[ \cos \left( \frac{-5 \pi}{6} \right) + i \sin \left( \frac{-5 \pi}{6} \right) \right]$
C
$2 \left[ \cos \left( \frac{-\pi}{6} \right) + i \sin \left( \frac{-\pi}{6} \right) \right]$
D
$2 \left[ \cos \left( \frac{-2 \pi}{3} \right) + i \sin \left( \frac{-2 \pi}{3} \right) \right]$

Solution

(B) Given $z = \sqrt{2} \sqrt{1 + \sqrt{3} i}$.
We can write $1 + \sqrt{3} i = \frac{1}{2} (2 + 2 \sqrt{3} i) = \frac{1}{2} ((\sqrt{3})^2 + i^2 + 2 \sqrt{3} i) = \frac{1}{2} (\sqrt{3} + i)^2$.
Thus,$z = \sqrt{2} \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} (\sqrt{3} + i) = \pm (\sqrt{3} + i)$.
Since $z$ lies in the third quadrant,both real and imaginary parts must be negative.
Therefore,$z = -\sqrt{3} - i$.
The modulus is $|z| = \sqrt{(-\sqrt{3})^2 + (-1)^2} = \sqrt{3 + 1} = 2$.
The argument $\theta$ in the third quadrant is given by $\theta = -(\pi - \tan^{-1}(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}})) = -(\pi - \frac{\pi}{6}) = -\frac{5 \pi}{6}$.
Thus,the polar form is $z = 2 \left[ \cos \left( \frac{-5 \pi}{6} \right) + i \sin \left( \frac{-5 \pi}{6} \right) \right]$.

B
$a^3+b^3+c^3-3abc$
C
$(a+b+c)^3-3abc$
D
$a^3+b^3+c^3+3abc$

(B) We know that the algebraic identity for the sum of cubes is given by:
$a^3+b^3+c^3-3abc = (a+b+c)(a^2+b^2+c^2-ab-bc-ca)$
Also,the product of the factors involving cube roots of unity is:
$(a+b \omega+c \omega^2)(a+b \omega^2+c \omega) = a^2+b^2+c^2-ab-bc-ca$
Substituting this into the identity,we get:
$(a+b+c)(a+b \omega+c \omega^2)(a+b \omega^2+c \omega) = a^3+b^3+c^3-3abc$

A
$1$
B
$-1$
C
$-i$
D
$0$

Solution

(D) Let the roots be $\alpha, \beta, \gamma$. These are the roots of the equation $z^3 = -i$,or $z^3 + i = 0$.
By Vieta's formulas,for a cubic equation $az^3 + bz^2 + cz + d = 0$,the sum of the roots $\alpha + \beta + \gamma = -b/a$ and the sum of the products of roots taken two at a time $\alpha\beta + \beta\gamma + \gamma\alpha = c/a$.
Here,$a = 1$,$b = 0$,$c = 0$,and $d = i$.
Thus,$\alpha + \beta + \gamma = 0$ and $\alpha\beta + \beta\gamma + \gamma\alpha = 0$.
We know the identity $\alpha^2 + \beta^2 + \gamma^2 = (\alpha + \beta + \gamma)^2 - 2(\alpha\beta + \beta\gamma + \gamma\alpha)$.
Substituting the values,we get $\alpha^2 + \beta^2 + \gamma^2 = (0)^2 - 2(0) = 0$.

A
$0$
B
$8$
C
$1$
D
$\omega$

Solution

(B) Given that $1, \omega, \omega^2, \ldots, \omega^8$ are the roots of the equation $x^9-1=0$.
Since $\omega$ is a $9^{th}$ root of unity,we have $\omega^9 = 1$.
We need to evaluate the sum $S = \sum_{r=1}^8 \left(\omega^r\right)^{99}$.
$S = \sum_{r=1}^8 \omega^{99r} = \sum_{r=1}^8 (\omega^9)^{11r}$.
Since $\omega^9 = 1$,we have $(\omega^9)^{11r} = (1)^{11r} = 1$.
Thus,$S = \sum_{r=1}^8 1 = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 8$.
Therefore,the correct option is $B$.

If $a_k = \cos \alpha_k + i \sin \alpha_k$ for $k = 1, 2, 3$ and $a_1, a_2, a_3$ are the roots of the equation $x^3 + bx + c = 0$,then the real part of $b$ is:
A
$0$
B
$-3$
C
$1$
D
$\frac{2}{3}$

Solution

(A) Given that $a_1, a_2, a_3$ are roots of $x^3 + bx + c = 0$.
By Vieta's formulas,the sum of roots is $a_1 + a_2 + a_3 = 0$.
Since $a_k = \cos \alpha_k + i \sin \alpha_k$,we have:
$(\cos \alpha_1 + \cos \alpha_2 + \cos \alpha_3) + i(\sin \alpha_1 + \sin \alpha_2 + \sin \alpha_3) = 0$.
This implies $\sum \cos \alpha_k = 0$ and $\sum \sin \alpha_k = 0$.
Also,the coefficient of $x^2$ is $0$,so $\sum a_i = 0$.
The coefficient $b$ is the sum of the products of roots taken two at a time: $b = a_1 a_2 + a_2 a_3 + a_3 a_1$.
Since $a_k = e^{i \alpha_k}$,we have $b = e^{i(\alpha_1 + \alpha_2)} + e^{i(\alpha_2 + \alpha_3)} + e^{i(\alpha_3 + \alpha_1)}$.
Using the property that if $\sum e^{i \alpha_k} = 0$,then $\sum e^{-i \alpha_k} = 0$,we note that $b = \sum a_1 a_2 = \sum \frac{a_1 a_2 a_3}{a_3} = \sum \frac{-c}{a_3} = -c \sum \frac{1}{a_3} = -c \sum \bar{a_3} = -c(0) = 0$.
Wait,let's re-evaluate: $b = a_1 a_2 + a_2 a_3 + a_3 a_1$.
Since $a_1+a_2+a_3=0$,$(a_1+a_2+a_3)^2 = a_1^2+a_2^2+a_3^2 + 2(a_1 a_2 + a_2 a_3 + a_3 a_1) = 0$.
Thus $b = -\frac{1}{2}(a_1^2 + a_2^2 + a_3^2)$.
Since $|a_k| = 1$,$a_k^2 = e^{i 2 \alpha_k} = \cos 2 \alpha_k + i \sin 2 \alpha_k$.
Given $\sum \cos \alpha_k = 0$ and $\sum \sin \alpha_k = 0$,it is known that for such complex numbers on the unit circle,$\sum a_k^2 = 0$.
Therefore,$b = 0$.

A
$(-\infty, 2) \cup (3, \infty)$
B
$[2, 3]$
C
$[1, 5]$
D
$(-\infty, 1) \cup (5, \infty)$

Solution

(D) Given $\left|\frac{z+3i}{3z+i}\right| < 1$,where $z = x + iy$.
Squaring both sides,we get $\frac{|z+3i|^2}{|3z+i|^2} < 1$.
This implies $|x + i(y+3)|^2 < |3x + i(3y+1)|^2$.
$x^2 + (y+3)^2 < (3x)^2 + (3y+1)^2$.
$x^2 + y^2 + 6y + 9 < 9x^2 + 9y^2 + 6y + 1$.
$8x^2 + 8y^2 - 8 > 0$,which simplifies to $x^2 + y^2 > 1$.
Since the point $\left(\frac{k-1}{k}, \frac{k-2}{k}\right)$ satisfies this inequality:
$\left(\frac{k-1}{k}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{k-2}{k}\right)^2 > 1$.
$\frac{k^2 - 2k + 1 + k^2 - 4k + 4}{k^2} > 1$.
$2k^2 - 6k + 5 > k^2$.
$k^2 - 6k + 5 > 0$.
$(k-1)(k-5) > 0$.
Thus,$k \in (-\infty, 1) \cup (5, \infty)$.

B

C
$x=\sqrt{3}y+(2-\sqrt{3})$

Solution

(A) Let $z = x + iy$. Then $z - 1 - 2i = (x - 1) + i(y - 2)$.
Given that $\text{arg}(z - 1 - 2i) = \frac{\pi}{3}$.
This implies $\tan\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = \frac{y - 2}{x - 1}$,where $x > 1$ and $y > 2$.
Since $\tan\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = \sqrt{3}$,we have $\sqrt{3} = \frac{y - 2}{x - 1}$.
Rearranging the terms,we get $y - 2 = \sqrt{3}(x - 1)$.
$y = \sqrt{3}x - \sqrt{3} + 2$.
$y = \sqrt{3}x + (2 - \sqrt{3})$.

A

Solution

(C) We are given $|z+4| \geq 3$.
By the triangle inequality,we know that $|z+4| = |(z+3) + 1| \leq |z+3| + |1|$.
Substituting the given condition,we get $3 \leq |z+3| + 1$.
This simplifies to $|z+3| \geq 3 - 1$,which means $|z+3| \geq 2$.
Therefore,the smallest value of $|z+3|$ is $2$.

Solution

(C) Given,$\left|\frac{z-3}{z-2i}\right|=2$.
Substituting $z=x+iy$,we get $|(x-3)+iy| = 2|x+i(y-2)|$.
Squaring both sides,we have $(x-3)^2 + y^2 = 4(x^2 + (y-2)^2)$.
Expanding the terms,$x^2 - 6x + 9 + y^2 = 4(x^2 + y^2 - 4y + 4)$.
$x^2 - 6x + 9 + y^2 = 4x^2 + 4y^2 - 16y + 16$.
Rearranging the terms,$3x^2 + 3y^2 + 6x - 16y + 7 = 0$.
Dividing by $3$,we get $x^2 + y^2 + 2x - \frac{16}{3}y + \frac{7}{3} = 0$.
Comparing this with the general equation of a circle $x^2 + y^2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0$,we have $2g = 2 \Rightarrow g = 1$ and $2f = -\frac{16}{3} \Rightarrow f = -\frac{8}{3}$.
The centre of the circle is $(-g, -f) = (-1, \frac{8}{3})$.

The locus of a point on the Argand plane represented by the complex number $z$, when $z$ satisfies the condition $\left|\frac{z-1+i}{z+1-i}\right|=\left|\operatorname{Re}\left(\frac{z-1+i}{z+1-i}\right)\right|$ is

B
$A$ circle that does not contain the point $(-1+i)$
C
$A$ parabola that does not contain the point $(-1+i)$
D
$A$ hyperbola that does not contain the point $(-1+i)$

Solution

(A) Given condition is $\left|\frac{z-1+i}{z+1-i}\right|=\left|\operatorname{Re}\left(\frac{z-1+i}{z+1-i}\right)\right|$, where $z \neq -1+i$.
Let $w = \frac{z-1+i}{z+1-i}$. The condition is $|w| = |\operatorname{Re}(w)|$.
For any complex number $w = u + iv$, $|w| = \sqrt{u^2 + v^2}$ and $|\operatorname{Re}(w)| = |u| = \sqrt{u^2}$.
Thus, $\sqrt{u^2 + v^2} = \sqrt{u^2} \implies u^2 + v^2 = u^2 \implies v^2 = 0 \implies v = 0$.
This means $\operatorname{Im}(w) = 0$, so $w$ must be a purely real number.
Let $z = x + iy$. Then $w = \frac{(x-1) + i(y+1)}{(x+1) + i(y-1)}$.
Multiplying numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator:
$w = \frac{((x-1) + i(y+1))((x+1) - i(y-1))}{(x+1)^2 + (y-1)^2}$.
The imaginary part of $w$ is zero when the imaginary part of the numerator is zero:
$(x-1)(-(y-1)) + (y+1)(x+1) = 0$.
$-(xy - x - y + 1) + (xy + x + y + 1) = 0$.
$-xy + x + y - 1 + xy + x + y + 1 = 0$.
$2x + 2y = 0 \implies x + y = 0$.
Since $z \neq -1+i$, the point $(-1, 1)$ is excluded from the line $x+y=0$.
Thus, the locus is a straight line that does not contain the point $(-1+i)$.

Solution

(C) The given digits are $1, 2, 0, 2, 4, 2, 4$. There are $7$ digits in total,where $2$ appears $3$ times,$4$ appears $2$ times,$1$ appears $1$ time,and $0$ appears $1$ time.
Total numbers of $7$ digits that can be formed is $\frac{7!}{3!2!} = 420$.
Numbers starting with $0$ are not $7$-digit numbers. These are formed by arranging the remaining $6$ digits $(1, 2, 2, 2, 4, 4)$,which is $\frac{6!}{3!2!} = 60$.
Total numbers greater than $1000000$ is $420 - 60 = 360$.
To find the number of odd numbers,the last digit must be $1$. Fixing $1$ at the end,we arrange the remaining $6$ digits $(0, 2, 2, 2, 4, 4)$.
Total arrangements = $\frac{6!}{3!2!} = 60$.
Subtract cases where $0$ is at the first position: $\frac{5!}{3!2!} = 10$.
So,total odd numbers = $60 - 10 = 50$.
Total even numbers = (Total numbers) - (Total odd numbers) = $360 - 50 = 310$.

$\frac{(n+2)(n+1)}{2} \times \frac{1}{n+3} = 2$.
$(n+2)(n+1) = 4(n+3)$.
$n^2 + 3n + 2 = 4n + 12$.
$n^2 - n - 10 = 0$.
Solving for $n$ using the quadratic formula $n = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$:
$n = \frac{1 \pm \sqrt{1 - 4(1)(-10)}}{2} = \frac{1 \pm \sqrt{41}}{2}$.
Since $\sqrt{41}$ is not an integer,$n$ cannot be a natural number $(n \notin N)$.
Therefore,the number of values of $n$ is $0$.

If $m$ and $n$ are respectively the order and degree of the differential equation of the family of parabolas with focus at the origin and $X$-axis as its axis,then $m n-m+n=$
A
$1$
B
$4$
C
$3$
D
$2$

Solution

(C) The equation of the family of parabolas with focus at the origin and $X$-axis as its axis is given by $y^2 = 4a(x+a) = 4ax + 4a^2$.
Differentiating with respect to $x$,we get $2y \frac{dy}{dx} = 4a$,which implies $a = \frac{1}{2} y \frac{dy}{dx}$.
Substituting the value of $a$ into the original equation:
$y^2 = 4 \left( \frac{1}{2} y \frac{dy}{dx} \right) x + 4 \left( \frac{1}{2} y \frac{dy}{dx} \right)^2$
$y^2 = 2xy \frac{dy}{dx} + y^2 \left( \frac{dy}{dx} \right)^2$.
The highest order derivative is $\frac{dy}{dx}$,so the order $m = 1$.
The power of the highest order derivative is $2$,so the degree $n = 2$.
Therefore,$mn - m + n = (1 \times 2) - 1 + 2 = 2 - 1 + 2 = 3$.

If $x \log x \frac{dy}{dx} + y = \log x^2$ and $y(e) = 0$,then $y(e^2) = $
A
$0$
B
$1$
C
$\frac{1}{2}$
D
$\frac{3}{2}$

Solution

(D) The given differential equation is $x \log x \frac{dy}{dx} + y = 2 \log x$.
Dividing by $x \log x$,we get $\frac{dy}{dx} + \frac{1}{x \log x} y = \frac{2}{x}$.
This is a linear differential equation of the form $\frac{dy}{dx} + Py = Q$,where $P = \frac{1}{x \log x}$ and $Q = \frac{2}{x}$.
The integrating factor $IF = e^{\int P dx} = e^{\int \frac{1}{x \log x} dx} = e^{\log(\log x)} = \log x$.
The general solution is $y \cdot IF = \int Q \cdot IF dx + C$.
$y \log x = \int \frac{2}{x} \cdot \log x dx + C$.
Let $u = \log x$,then $du = \frac{1}{x} dx$.
$y \log x = \int 2u du + C = u^2 + C = (\log x)^2 + C$.
Given $y(e) = 0$,we have $0 \cdot \log e = (\log e)^2 + C$,so $0 = 1 + C$,which means $C = -1$.
Thus,$y \log x = (\log x)^2 - 1$.
For $x = e^2$,$y \log(e^2) = (\log e^2)^2 - 1$.
$y(2) = (2)^2 - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3$.
$2y = 3$,so $y = \frac{3}{2}$.

If $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are the roots of the quadratic equation $3x^2 - 16x + 5 = 0$,then $\tan^{-1} \alpha + \tan^{-1} \beta - \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{\alpha + \beta}{1 - \alpha \beta}\right) = $
A
$0$
B
$\pi$
C
$\frac{\pi}{2}$
D
$-\pi$

Solution

(B) Given the quadratic equation $3x^2 - 16x + 5 = 0$.
Comparing with $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$,we have $a = 3, b = -16, c = 5$.
Sum of roots $\alpha + \beta = -\frac{b}{a} = -\left(\frac{-16}{3}\right) = \frac{16}{3}$.
Product of roots $\alpha \beta = \frac{c}{a} = \frac{5}{3}$.
Since $\alpha \beta = \frac{5}{3} > 1$,we use the formula:
$\tan^{-1} \alpha + \tan^{-1} \beta = \pi + \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{\alpha + \beta}{1 - \alpha \beta}\right)$.
Substituting this into the given expression:
$\left[\pi + \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{\alpha + \beta}{1 - \alpha \beta}\right)\right] - \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{\alpha + \beta}{1 - \alpha \beta}\right) = \pi$.

If $x_1, x_2, x_3$ are the real roots of the equation $x^3-x^2 \tan \theta+x \tan ^2 \theta+\tan \theta=0$ and $0 < \theta < \frac{\pi}{4}$,then the value of $\tan ^{-1} x_1+\tan ^{-1} x_2+\tan ^{-1} x_3$ at $\theta=\frac{\pi}{12}$ is
A
$\frac{\pi}{6}$
B
$\frac{\pi}{4}$
C
$\frac{\pi}{3}$
D
$\frac{\pi}{2}$

Solution

(A) Given the cubic equation $x^3 - x^2 \tan \theta + x \tan^2 \theta + \tan \theta = 0$.
By Vieta's formulas,the sum of roots,sum of roots taken two at a time,and product of roots are:
$x_1 + x_2 + x_3 = \tan \theta$
$x_1 x_2 + x_2 x_3 + x_3 x_1 = \tan^2 \theta$
$x_1 x_2 x_3 = -\tan \theta$
We know the identity $\tan^{-1} x_1 + \tan^{-1} x_2 + \tan^{-1} x_3 = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{(x_1 + x_2 + x_3) - x_1 x_2 x_3}{1 - (x_1 x_2 + x_2 x_3 + x_3 x_1)} \right)$.
Substituting the values:
$= \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{\tan \theta - (-\tan \theta)}{1 - \tan^2 \theta} \right) = \tan^{-1} \left( \frac{2 \tan \theta}{1 - \tan^2 \theta} \right)$.
Using the double angle formula $\tan 2\theta = \frac{2 \tan \theta}{1 - \tan^2 \theta}$,we get:
$= \tan^{-1} (\tan 2\theta) = 2\theta$.
At $\theta = \frac{\pi}{12}$,the value is $2 \times \frac{\pi}{12} = \frac{\pi}{6}$.
Thus,option $A$ is correct.

If $x+y=60$,$x>0$,$y>0$,then the maximum value of $x y^3$ is
A
$(15)^4 \frac{25}{3}$
B
$45(15)^3$
C
$\frac{(45)^3 9}{5}$
D
$\frac{(45)^4}{3}$

Solution

(D) Given,$x+y=60$.
Using the $AM \geq GM$ inequality for the terms $x, \frac{y}{3}, \frac{y}{3}, \frac{y}{3}$:
$\frac{x + \frac{y}{3} + \frac{y}{3} + \frac{y}{3}}{4} \geq \sqrt[4]{x \cdot \frac{y}{3} \cdot \frac{y}{3} \cdot \frac{y}{3}}$
$\frac{x+y}{4} \geq \sqrt[4]{\frac{x y^3}{27}}$
Substituting $x+y=60$:
$\frac{60}{4} \geq \sqrt[4]{\frac{x y^3}{27}}$
$15 \geq \sqrt[4]{\frac{x y^3}{27}}$
Raising both sides to the power of $4$:
$(15)^4 \geq \frac{x y^3}{27}$
$x y^3 \leq 27 \times (15)^4$
$x y^3 \leq 3^3 \times (3 \times 5)^4$
$x y^3 \leq 3^3 \times 3^4 \times 5^4$
$x y^3 \leq 3^7 \times 5^4$
Since $\frac{(45)^4}{3} = \frac{(3^2 \times 5)^4}{3} = \frac{3^8 \times 5^4}{3} = 3^7 \times 5^4$,the maximum value is $\frac{(45)^4}{3}$.

Let the position vectors of two points $A$ and $B$ be $\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c}$ and $\vec{a}-2\vec{b}+3\vec{c}$,respectively. If the points $P$ and $Q$ divide $AB$ in the ratio $1:3$ internally and externally respectively,then $3|AB|=$
A
$4|PQ|$
B
$3|PQ|$
C
$\frac{1}{2}|PQ|$
D
$2|PQ|$

Solution

(A) Given position vectors: $\vec{OA} = \vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c}$ and $\vec{OB} = \vec{a}-2\vec{b}+3\vec{c}$.
Vector $\vec{AB} = \vec{OB} - \vec{OA} = (\vec{a}-2\vec{b}+3\vec{c}) - (\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c}) = -3\vec{b}+2\vec{c}$.
Point $P$ divides $AB$ internally in ratio $1:3$:
$\vec{OP} = \frac{3\vec{OA} + 1\vec{OB}}{1+3} = \frac{3(\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c}) + (\vec{a}-2\vec{b}+3\vec{c})}{4} = \frac{4\vec{a}+\vec{b}+6\vec{c}}{4}$.
Point $Q$ divides $AB$ externally in ratio $1:3$:
$\vec{OQ} = \frac{3\vec{OA} - 1\vec{OB}}{3-1} = \frac{3(\vec{a}+\vec{b}+\vec{c}) - (\vec{a}-2\vec{b}+3\vec{c})}{2} = \frac{2\vec{a}+5\vec{b}}{2}$.
Vector $\vec{PQ} = \vec{OQ} - \vec{OP} = \frac{2\vec{a}+5\vec{b}}{2} - \frac{4\vec{a}+\vec{b}+6\vec{c}}{4} = \frac{4\vec{a}+10\vec{b} - 4\vec{a}-\vec{b}-6\vec{c}}{4} = \frac{9\vec{b}-6\vec{c}}{4} = \frac{3}{4}(3\vec{b}-2\vec{c})$.
Since $\vec{AB} = -3\vec{b}+2\vec{c}$,we have $\vec{PQ} = -\frac{3}{4}\vec{AB}$.
Taking magnitudes,$|PQ| = \frac{3}{4}|AB|$,which implies $4|PQ| = 3|AB|$.

If the orthocentre and the centroid of a triangle are at $(5,2,-6)$ and $(9,6,-4)$ respectively,then its circumcentre is
A
$(11,8,-3)$
B
$(8,8,-3)$
C
$(11,8,3)$
D
$(11,-8,-3)$

Solution

(A) We know that the centroid of a triangle divides the line segment joining the orthocentre and the circumcentre in the ratio $2:1$.
Let the orthocentre be $O(5, 2, -6)$,the centroid be $G(9, 6, -4)$,and the circumcentre be $C(x, y, z)$.
Using the section formula,the centroid $G$ is given by:
$G = \left( \frac{2x + 1(5)}{2+1}, \frac{2y + 1(2)}{2+1}, \frac{2z + 1(-6)}{2+1} \right) = (9, 6, -4)$.
Equating the coordinates:
$9 = \frac{2x + 5}{3} \implies 27 = 2x + 5 \implies 2x = 22 \implies x = 11$.
$6 = \frac{2y + 2}{3} \implies 18 = 2y + 2 \implies 2y = 16 \implies y = 8$.
$-4 = \frac{2z - 6}{3} \implies -12 = 2z - 6 \implies 2z = -6 \implies z = -3$.
Therefore,the circumcentre is $(11, 8, -3)$.

A
$0$
B
$2$
C
-$4$
D
$8$

Solution

(D) Given $y=(x+1)(x^2+1)(x^4+1)(x^8+1)$.
Multiplying and dividing by $(x-1)$,we get $y = \frac{(x^2-1)(x^2+1)(x^4+1)(x^8+1)}{x-1} = \frac{(x^4-1)(x^4+1)(x^8+1)}{x-1} = \frac{(x^8-1)(x^8+1)}{x-1} = \frac{x^{16}-1}{x-1}$.
Now,differentiate $y$ with respect to $x$ using the quotient rule:
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{(x-1)(16x^{15}) - (x^{16}-1)(1)}{(x-1)^2} = \frac{16x^{16} - 16x^{15} - x^{16} + 1}{(x-1)^2} = \frac{15x^{16} - 16x^{15} + 1}{(x-1)^2}$.
To find $\lim_{x \rightarrow -1} \frac{dy}{dx}$,substitute $x = -1$:
$\frac{15(-1)^{16} - 16(-1)^{15} + 1}{(-1-1)^2} = \frac{15(1) - 16(-1) + 1}{(-2)^2} = \frac{15 + 16 + 1}{4} = \frac{32}{4} = 8$.

The area (in square units) of the region bounded by the curve $y = |\sin 2x|$ and the $X$-axis in the interval $[0, 2\pi]$ is:
A
$0$
B
$1$
C
$3$
D
$4$

Solution

(D) The required area $A$ is given by the integral $A = \int_0^{2\pi} |\sin 2x| \, dx$.
Since the function $f(x) = |\sin 2x|$ is periodic with period $\frac{\pi}{2}$,the area over $[0, 2\pi]$ consists of $4$ identical humps,each over an interval of length $\frac{\pi}{2}$.
Thus,$A = 4 \int_0^{\pi/2} \sin 2x \, dx$.
Evaluating the integral: $A = 4 \left[ -\frac{\cos 2x}{2} \right]_0^{\pi/2}$.
$A = 4 \left( -\frac{1}{2} (\cos \pi - \cos 0) \right) = 4 \left( -\frac{1}{2} (-1 - 1) \right) = 4 \left( -\frac{1}{2} (-2) \right) = 4(1) = 4$.
Therefore,the area is $4$ square units.
Hence,option $D$ is correct.

C

D

Solution

(B) Given curves are $y=\sqrt{x}$ and $x=\sqrt{y}$.
Squaring $x=\sqrt{y}$ gives $y=x^2$.
We need to find the area bounded by $y=x^2$ and $y=\sqrt{x}$ between $x=1$ and $x=4$.
In the interval $[1, 4]$,the curve $y=x^2$ lies above the curve $y=\sqrt{x}$.
The required area $A$ is given by:
$A = \int_1^4 (x^2 - \sqrt{x}) dx$
$A = \left[ \frac{x^3}{3} - \frac{2}{3} x^{3/2} \right]_1^4$
$A = \left( \frac{4^3}{3} - \frac{2}{3} (4)^{3/2} \right) - \left( \frac{1^3}{3} - \frac{2}{3} (1)^{3/2} \right)$
$A = \left( \frac{64}{3} - \frac{2}{3} \times 8 \right) - \left( \frac{1}{3} - \frac{2}{3} \right)$
$A = \left( \frac{64}{3} - \frac{16}{3} \right) - \left( -\frac{1}{3} \right)$
$A = \frac{48}{3} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{49}{3} \text{ sq units}$.

The area of the region (in square units) bounded by the curves $y=x^3$,$y=x$ and $-1 \leq x \leq 1$ is:
A
$1/4$
B
$1/2$
C
$3/4$
D
$5/6$

Solution

(B) The curves are $y=x^3$ and $y=x$.
To find the area,we observe that the region is symmetric about the origin because both functions are odd.
The area $A$ is given by $A = \int_{-1}^{1} |x - x^3| dx$.
Due to symmetry,$A = 2 \int_{0}^{1} |x - x^3| dx$.
In the interval $[0, 1]$,$x \geq x^3$,so $|x - x^3| = x - x^3$.
Thus,$A = 2 \int_{0}^{1} (x - x^3) dx$.
Evaluating the integral: $A = 2 \left[ \frac{x^2}{2} - \frac{x^4}{4} \right]_{0}^{1}$.
$A = 2 \left( \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{4} \right) = 2 \left( \frac{1}{4} \right) = \frac{1}{2}$ square units.

A
$\frac{1}{2}$
B
$\frac{1}{12}$
C
$2$
D
$\frac{1}{6}$

Solution

(D) To find the area of the region bounded by the curve $y=x^2+4$ and the line $y=5x-2$,we first find their points of intersection by setting the equations equal to each other:
$x^2+4 = 5x-2$
$x^2-5x+6 = 0$
$(x-2)(x-3) = 0$
Thus,the points of intersection are at $x=2$ and $x=3$.
In the interval $[2, 3]$,the line $y=5x-2$ lies above the curve $y=x^2+4$.
The area $A$ is given by the integral:
$A = \int_2^3 ((5x-2) - (x^2+4)) \, dx$
$A = \int_2^3 (5x - x^2 - 6) \, dx$
$A = \left[ \frac{5x^2}{2} - \frac{x^3}{3} - 6x \right]_2^3$
Evaluating at the limits:
$A = \left( \frac{5(3)^2}{2} - \frac{(3)^3}{3} - 6(3) \right) - \left( \frac{5(2)^2}{2} - \frac{(2)^3}{3} - 6(2) \right)$
$A = \left( \frac{45}{2} - 9 - 18 \right) - \left( 10 - \frac{8}{3} - 12 \right)$
$A = \left( \frac{45}{2} - 27 \right) - \left( -2 - \frac{8}{3} \right)$
$A = \left( \frac{45-54}{2} \right) - \left( \frac{-6-8}{3} \right)$
$A = -\frac{9}{2} + \frac{14}{3} = \frac{-27+28}{6} = \frac{1}{6}$
Thus,the area is $\frac{1}{6}$ square units.

D

Solution

(D) Given $A = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 5 \\ 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$.
First,calculate $A^2$:
$A^2 = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 5 \\ 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 5 \\ 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$.
Since $A^2 = O$ (the zero matrix),all higher powers of $A$ will also be zero matrices,i.e.,$A^n = O$ for all $n \geq 2$.
Given $f(x) = x + x^2 + \dots + x^{2018}$,we have:
$f(A) = A + A^2 + A^3 + \dots + A^{2018}$.
Substituting the powers of $A$:
$f(A) = A + O + O + \dots + O = A$.
Now,calculate $f(A) + I$:
$f(A) + I = A + I = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 5 \\ 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 5 \\ 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$.

For all symmetric matrices $M$ and $N$,$MN - NM$ is skew-symmetric
B
$N^{\top}MN$ is symmetric or skew-symmetric according as $M$ is symmetric or skew-symmetric
C
For all symmetric matrices $M$ and $N$,matrix $MN$ is symmetric
D
For any two matrices $M$ and $N$,$\text{adj}(MN)$ and $\text{adj}(NM)$ need not be equal

Solution

(C) For two square matrices $M$ and $N$ of order $3$:
$1$. The matrix $MN - NM$ is skew-symmetric if $M$ and $N$ are symmetric matrices,because $(MN - NM)^T = (MN)^T - (NM)^T = N^T M^T - M^T N^T = NM - MN = -(MN - NM)$.
$2$. The matrix $N^T MN$ is symmetric or skew-symmetric according as $M$ is symmetric or skew-symmetric,because $(N^T MN)^T = N^T M^T (N^T)^T = N^T M^T N$. If $M^T = M$,then $(N^T MN)^T = N^T MN$ (symmetric). If $M^T = -M$,then $(N^T MN)^T = -N^T MN$ (skew-symmetric).
$3$. The product of two symmetric matrices $MN$ is symmetric if and only if $MN = NM$. Since this is not true for all symmetric matrices,statement $(c)$ is false.
$4$. For any two matrices $M$ and $N$,$\text{adj}(MN)$ and $\text{adj}(NM)$ are not necessarily equal.
Thus,the statement that is not true is $(c)$.

Solution

(C) Given $A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 1 & 3 & 5 \\ 2 & 1 & 6 \end{bmatrix}$.
First,calculate the determinant $|A| = 1(18-5) - 2(6-10) + 3(1-6) = 13 + 8 - 15 = 6$.
We know the property $\operatorname{Adj}(\operatorname{Adj} A) = |A|^{n-2} A$,where $n$ is the order of the matrix.
Here $n = 3$,so $\operatorname{Adj}(\operatorname{Adj} A) = |A|^{3-2} A = |A| A = 6A$.
Therefore,$(\operatorname{Adj}(\operatorname{Adj} A))^{-1} = (6A)^{-1} = \frac{1}{6} A^{-1}$.
Since $A^{-1} = \frac{1}{|A|} \operatorname{Adj} A$,we first find $\operatorname{Adj} A$:
$\operatorname{Adj} A = \begin{bmatrix} 13 & -9 & 1 \\ 4 & 0 & -2 \\ -5 & 3 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$.
Thus,$A^{-1} = \frac{1}{6} \begin{bmatrix} 13 & -9 & 1 \\ 4 & 0 & -2 \\ -5 & 3 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$.
Finally,$(\operatorname{Adj}(\operatorname{Adj} A))^{-1} = \frac{1}{6} A^{-1} = \frac{1}{6} \left( \frac{1}{6} \begin{bmatrix} 13 & -9 & 1 \\ 4 & 0 & -2 \\ -5 & 3 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \right) = \frac{1}{36} \begin{bmatrix} 13 & -9 & 1 \\ 4 & 0 & -2 \\ -5 & 3 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$.

Given $|\operatorname{adj} A| = |\operatorname{adj}(\operatorname{adj} A)|$.
Therefore,$|A|^{n-1} = |A|^{(n-1)^2}$.
Since $A$ is non-singular,$|A| \neq 0$. Thus,$n-1 = (n-1)^2$.
$(n-1) - (n-1)^2 = 0 \Rightarrow (n-1)(1 - (n-1)) = 0 \Rightarrow (n-1)(2-n) = 0$.
Since $n > 1$,we have $n = 2$.
$A$ matrix of order $n=2$ has rank $n=2$ if it is non-singular. Option $D$ is a $3 \times 3$ matrix,but the question implies identifying a matrix of order $n=2$ that is non-singular. However,based on the options provided,we check the rank of the given matrices. The matrix in option $D$ is $\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 4 & -1 \\ 2 & 3 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}$. Its determinant is $1(6-0) - 4(4-0) - 1(2-0) = 6 - 16 - 2 = -12 \neq 0$. Thus,its rank is $3$. Since $n=2$ was derived,there might be a typo in the question's options or premise. Given the standard interpretation,option $D$ is a non-singular matrix.

The rank of the matrix $\begin{bmatrix} 3 & 5 & -1 & 4 \\ 2 & 1 & 3 & -2 \\ 8 & 11 & 1 & 6 \\ -7 & -14 & 6 & -14 \end{bmatrix}$ is
A

B

C
$3$
D

Solution

(B) Let $A = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 5 & -1 & 4 \\ 2 & 1 & 3 & -2 \\ 8 & 11 & 1 & 6 \\ -7 & -14 & 6 & -14 \end{bmatrix}$.
Applying row operations to reduce the matrix to row-echelon form:
$R_1 \rightarrow R_1 - R_2$ gives $\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 4 & -4 & 6 \\ 2 & 1 & 3 & -2 \\ 8 & 11 & 1 & 6 \\ -7 & -14 & 6 & -14 \end{bmatrix}$.
Applying $R_2 \rightarrow R_2 - 2R_1$,$R_3 \rightarrow R_3 - 8R_1$,$R_4 \rightarrow R_4 + 7R_1$:
$\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 4 & -4 & 6 \\ 0 & -7 & 11 & -14 \\ 0 & -21 & 33 & -42 \\ 0 & 14 & -22 & 28 \end{bmatrix}$.
Applying $R_3 \rightarrow R_3 - 3R_2$:
$\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 4 & -4 & 6 \\ 0 & -7 & 11 & -14 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 14 & -22 & 28 \end{bmatrix}$.
Applying $R_3 \leftrightarrow R_4$:
$\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 4 & -4 & 6 \\ 0 & -7 & 11 & -14 \\ 0 & 14 & -22 & 28 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$.
Applying $R_3 \rightarrow R_3 + 2R_2$:
$\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 4 & -4 & 6 \\ 0 & -7 & 11 & -14 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix}$.
The number of non-zero rows is $2$.
Therefore,the rank of the matrix is $2$.

If $\left|\begin{array}{ccc}x^2+3x & x+1 & x-3 \\ x-1 & 2-x & x+4 \\ x-3 & x-3 & 3x\end{array}\right|=a_0+a_1x+a_2x^2+a_3x^3+a_4x^4$,then find the value of $(a_1+a_3)+2(a_0+a_2+a_4)$.
A
-$1$
B
$0$
C
$1$
D
-$29$

Solution

(A) Let $f(x) = \left|\begin{array}{ccc}x^2+3x & x+1 & x-3 \\ x-1 & 2-x & x+4 \\ x-3 & x-3 & 3x\end{array}\right| = a_0+a_1x+a_2x^2+a_3x^3+a_4x^4$.
Put $x=1$ in the equation:
$f(1) = \left|\begin{array}{ccc}4 & 2 & -2 \\ 0 & 1 & 5 \\ -2 & -2 & 3\end{array}\right| = a_0+a_1+a_2+a_3+a_4$.
Calculating the determinant: $4(3+10) - 2(0+10) - 2(0+2) = 4(13) - 2(10) - 2(2) = 52 - 20 - 4 = 28$.
So,$a_0+a_1+a_2+a_3+a_4 = 28$ (Eq. $i$).
Put $x=-1$ in the equation:
$f(-1) = \left|\begin{array}{ccc}-2 & 0 & -4 \\ -2 & 3 & 3 \\ -4 & -4 & -3\end{array}\right| = a_0-a_1+a_2-a_3+a_4$.
Calculating the determinant: $-2(-9+12) - 0 + (-4)(8+12) = -2(3) - 4(20) = -6 - 80 = -86$.
So,$a_0-a_1+a_2-a_3+a_4 = -86$ (Eq. $ii$).
Subtracting Eq. $ii$ from Eq. $i$:
$(a_0+a_1+a_2+a_3+a_4) - (a_0-a_1+a_2-a_3+a_4) = 28 - (-86) = 114$.
$2(a_1+a_3) = 114 \Rightarrow a_1+a_3 = 57$.
Adding Eq. $i$ and Eq. $ii$:
$(a_0+a_1+a_2+a_3+a_4) + (a_0-a_1+a_2-a_3+a_4) = 28 + (-86) = -58$.
$2(a_0+a_2+a_4) = -58$.
Therefore,$(a_1+a_3) + 2(a_0+a_2+a_4) = 57 + (-58) = -1$.

If the determinant of the matrix $A = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & a & b \\ -a & 0 & \beta \\ -b & -\alpha & 0 \end{bmatrix}$ is zero for all $a, b$,then $\alpha + \beta =$
A
$0$
B
$1$
C
$-1$
D
$2$

Solution

(A) The determinant of the matrix $A$ is given by $|A| = \begin{vmatrix} 0 & a & b \\ -a & 0 & \beta \\ -b & -\alpha & 0 \end{vmatrix} = 0$.
Expanding the determinant along the first row:
$|A| = 0(0 - (\beta)(-\alpha)) - a(0 - (\beta)(-b)) + b((-a)(-\alpha) - 0) = 0$.
$|A| = 0 - a(b\beta) + b(a\alpha) = 0$.
$-ab\beta + ab\alpha = 0$.
$ab(\alpha - \beta) = 0$.
Since this holds for all $a, b$,we must have $\alpha - \beta = 0$,which implies $\alpha = \beta$.
However,checking the original matrix structure provided in the prompt: $\begin{bmatrix} 0 & a & b \\ -a & 0 & \beta \\ -b & \alpha & 0 \end{bmatrix}$.
Expanding this: $0(0 - \alpha\beta) - a(0 - (\beta)(-b)) + b((-a)(\alpha) - 0) = 0$.
$-ab\beta - ab\alpha = 0$.
$-ab(\alpha + \beta) = 0$.
Since this holds for all $a, b$,we have $\alpha + \beta = 0$.

If $a, b, c$ are real numbers such that $a-b=1$ and $b-c=3$,then the number of matrices of the form $A=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 \\ a & b & c \\ a^2 & b^2 & c^2 \end{bmatrix}$ such that $|A|=-12$ is:
A
$0$
B
$2$
C
$3$
D
infinitely many

Solution

(A) The determinant of the matrix $A$ is given by the Vandermonde determinant formula:
$|A| = \begin{vmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 \\ a & b & c \\ a^2 & b^2 & c^2 \end{vmatrix} = (b-a)(c-a)(c-b)$.
We can rewrite this as $|A| = -(a-b)(c-a)(b-c)$.
Given $a-b=1$ and $b-c=3$,we have $c-b = -3$.
Also,$(a-c) = (a-b) + (b-c) = 1 + 3 = 4$,so $(c-a) = -4$.
Substituting these values into the determinant expression:
$|A| = -(1) \times (-4) \times (3) = 12$.
However,the problem states $|A| = -12$.
Since the value of the determinant is fixed at $12$ based on the given constraints $a-b=1$ and $b-c=3$,it can never be $-12$.
Therefore,there are $0$ such matrices.

Applying row operations $R_2 \rightarrow R_2 - R_1$ and $R_3 \rightarrow R_3 - R_2$,we get:
$\Delta = \left|\begin{array}{ccc}n^2 & (n+1)^2 & (n+2)^2 \\ 2n+1 & 2n+3 & 2n+5 \\ 2 & 2 & 2\end{array}\right|$.
Applying $R_2 \rightarrow R_2 - R_1$ again,we get:
$\Delta = \left|\begin{array}{ccc}n^2 & 2n+1 & 2 \\ 2n+1 & 2 & 0 \\ 2 & 0 & 0\end{array}\right| = 2(0 - 4) = -8$.
Now,given the second determinant equation:
$\left|\begin{array}{ccc}1 & -4 & 7 \\ -2 & 3 & -5 \\ 3 & x & -3\end{array}\right| = 2\Delta + 1 = 2(-8) + 1 = -15$.
Expanding the determinant:
$1(-9 + 5x) + 4(6 + 15) + 7(-2x - 9) = -15$.
$-9 + 5x + 84 - 14x - 63 = -15$.
$-9x + 12 = -15$.
$-9x = -27$.
$x = 3$.

D
$AX=D$ will have no solution when $\alpha < 3$

Solution

(C) Given,$AX=D$ is a system of three linear non-homogeneous equations.
Since $|A|=0$,the system does not have a unique solution.
We are given that $\operatorname{rank}(A) = \operatorname{rank}([AD]) = \alpha$.
According to the Rouché-Capelli theorem,if $\operatorname{rank}(A) = \operatorname{rank}([AD]) = \alpha < n$ (where $n=3$ is the number of variables),the system has infinitely many solutions.
Therefore,when $\alpha < 3$,the system $AX=D$ has an infinite number of solutions.

B
$\forall \lambda \in(-\infty, \infty)$,the given system has only trivial solution
C
For $\lambda \neq 0$,the given system does not have any solution
D
For $\lambda=0$,the given system is inconsistent

Solution

(A) Given system: $\begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 2 \\ \lambda \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & \lambda \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} x \\ y \\ z \end{bmatrix} = 0$
Multiplying the matrices,we get: $\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & \lambda \\ 2 & 4 & 2\lambda \\ \lambda & 2\lambda & \lambda^2 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} x \\ y \\ z \end{bmatrix} = 0$
Let $A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & \lambda \\ 2 & 4 & 2\lambda \\ \lambda & 2\lambda & \lambda^2 \end{bmatrix}$.
Calculating the determinant $|A|$:
$|A| = 1(4\lambda^2 - 4\lambda^2) - 2(2\lambda^2 - 2\lambda^2) + \lambda(4\lambda - 4\lambda) = 0 - 0 + 0 = 0$.
Since the determinant of the coefficient matrix is $0$,the system $AX = 0$ always has infinitely many solutions (non-trivial solutions) for any value of $\lambda \in (-\infty, \infty)$.

$A$ system of linear equations $AX=B$ has a unique solution if and only if the determinant of the coefficient matrix $A$ is non-zero,i.e.,$|A| \neq 0$.
The coefficient matrix $A$ is:
$A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 2 & 3 & 2 \\ a & a & 2a \end{bmatrix}$
Calculating the determinant $|A|$:
$|A| = 1(3(2a) - 2(a)) - 1(2(2a) - 2(a)) + 1(2(a) - 3(a))$
$|A| = 1(6a - 2a) - 1(4a - 2a) + 1(2a - 3a)$
$|A| = 4a - 2a - a = a$
For a unique solution,we require $|A| \neq 0$,which implies $a \neq 0$.
Therefore,the system has a unique solution for all $a \in R-\{0\}$.

C

Solution

(C) For the system of linear equations to have a non-trivial solution,the determinant of the coefficient matrix must be zero.
The system is:
$4 \sin \theta x - 3y + z = 0$
$x - 6 \cos 2\theta y + z = 0$
$3x - 12y + 4z = 0$
The determinant is:
$\Delta = \begin{vmatrix} 4 \sin \theta & -3 & 1 \\ 1 & -6 \cos 2\theta & 1 \\ 3 & -12 & 4 \end{vmatrix} = 0$
Applying row operations $R_1 \rightarrow 4R_1 - R_3$:
$\begin{vmatrix} 16 \sin \theta - 3 & 0 & 0 \\ 1 & -6 \cos 2\theta & 1 \\ 3 & -12 & 4 \end{vmatrix} = 0$
Expanding along the first row:
$(16 \sin \theta - 3) [(-6 \cos 2\theta)(4) - (1)(-12)] = 0$
$(16 \sin \theta - 3) [-24 \cos 2\theta + 12] = 0$
$12(16 \sin \theta - 3)(1 - 2 \cos 2\theta) = 0$
This gives $16 \sin \theta = 3$ or $2 \cos 2\theta = 1$.
$16 \sin \theta = 3 \implies \sin \theta = \frac{3}{16} \implies \theta = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{16}\right)$.
$2 \cos 2\theta = 1 \implies \cos 2\theta = \frac{1}{2} \implies 2\theta = \frac{\pi}{3} \implies \theta = \frac{\pi}{6}$.

Solution

(C) For a system of homogeneous linear equations to have a non-trivial solution,the determinant of the coefficient matrix must be zero.
$\Delta = \begin{vmatrix} t & t+1 & t-1 \\ t+1 & t & t+2 \\ t-1 & t+2 & t \end{vmatrix} = 0$
Applying row operations $R_2 \rightarrow R_2 - R_1$ and $R_3 \rightarrow R_3 - R_1$:
$\begin{vmatrix} t & t+1 & t-1 \\ 1 & -1 & 3 \\ -1 & 1 & 1 \end{vmatrix} = 0$
Expanding along the first row:
$t(-1 - 3) - (t+1)(1 + 3) + (t-1)(1 - 1) = 0$
$-4t - 4(t+1) + 0 = 0$
$-4t - 4t - 4 = 0$
$-8t = 4 \Rightarrow t = -\frac{1}{2}$
Checking the options for $t = -\frac{1}{2}$:
For option $(C)$,$2t^2 + 3t + 1 = 2(-\frac{1}{2})^2 + 3(-\frac{1}{2}) + 1 = 2(\frac{1}{4}) - \frac{3}{2} + 1 = \frac{1}{2} - \frac{3}{2} + 1 = 0$.
Thus,$t = -\frac{1}{2}$ is a root of $2t^2 + 3t + 1 = 0$.

B
$\sqrt{\frac{4-y^2}{2}}$
C
$\frac{\sqrt{4+y^2}}{2}$
D
$\frac{\sqrt{4-y^2}}{2}$

Solution

(C) Let $\theta = \tan ^{-1} \left(\frac{y}{2}\right)$.
Then,$\tan \theta = \frac{y}{2}$.
We know the identity $\sec ^2 \theta = 1 + \tan ^2 \theta$.
Substituting the value of $\tan \theta$:
$\sec ^2 \theta = 1 + \left(\frac{y}{2}\right)^2 = 1 + \frac{y^2}{4} = \frac{4+y^2}{4}$.
Taking the square root on both sides:
$\sec \theta = \sqrt{\frac{4+y^2}{4}} = \frac{\sqrt{4+y^2}}{2}$.
Thus,$\sec \left(\tan ^{-1} \frac{y}{2}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{4+y^2}}{2}$.

A
$0$
B
$1$
C
$2$
D
$3$

Solution

(B) Identify the Domain and Use Logarithmic Forms:
First,note that the function $\cosh^{-1} x$ is only defined for $x \geq 1$. Therefore,we must have $x \geq 1$.
We use the logarithmic definitions of inverse hyperbolic functions:
$e^{\cosh^{-1} x} = x + \sqrt{x^2 - 1}$
$e^{\sinh^{-1} x} = x + \sqrt{x^2 + 1}$
Substitute and Simplify the Equation:
Substitute these expressions back into the original equation:
$\sqrt{2} + (x + \sqrt{x^2 - 1}) - (x + \sqrt{x^2 + 1}) = 0$
The $x$ terms cancel out,leaving:
$\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{x^2 - 1} - \sqrt{x^2 + 1} = 0$
$\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{x^2 - 1} = \sqrt{x^2 + 1}$
Solve for $x$:
Square both sides of the equation to eliminate the radicals:
$(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{x^2 - 1})^2 = (\sqrt{x^2 + 1})^2$
$2 + (x^2 - 1) + 2\sqrt{2}\sqrt{x^2 - 1} = x^2 + 1$
$x^2 + 1 + 2\sqrt{2}\sqrt{x^2 - 1} = x^2 + 1$
Subtract $x^2 + 1$ from both sides:
$2\sqrt{2}\sqrt{x^2 - 1} = 0$
$\sqrt{x^2 - 1} = 0 \implies x^2 = 1 \implies x = \pm 1$
Since the domain requires $x \geq 1$,the only valid solution is $x = 1$. Thus,there is $1$ root.

For $a>0$,if $f(x)=ax+b$ is an onto function from $[-1,1]$ to $[0,2]$,then $\cot \left[\tan ^{-1} \frac{1}{7}+\tan ^{-1} \frac{1}{8}+\tan ^{-1} \frac{1}{5}\right]=$
A
$f(-1)$
B
$f(1)$
C
$f(0)$
D
$f(2)$

Solution

(B) Given $f(x)=ax+b$ is an onto function from $[-1,1]$ to $[0,2]$. Since $a>0$,$f(x)$ is an increasing function. Thus,$f(-1)=0$ and $f(1)=2$.
$-a+b=0 \implies a=b$.
$a+b=2 \implies 2a=2 \implies a=1, b=1$.
So,$f(x)=x+1$.
Now,evaluate the expression:
$\tan ^{-1} \frac{1}{8}+\tan ^{-1} \frac{1}{5} = \tan ^{-1} \left( \frac{\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{5}}{1-\frac{1}{8} \times \frac{1}{5}} \right) = \tan ^{-1} \left( \frac{13/40}{39/40} \right) = \tan ^{-1} \frac{1}{3}$.
Then,$\tan ^{-1} \frac{1}{7}+\tan ^{-1} \frac{1}{3} = \tan ^{-1} \left( \frac{\frac{1}{7}+\frac{1}{3}}{1-\frac{1}{7} \times \frac{1}{3}} \right) = \tan ^{-1} \left( \frac{10/21}{20/21} \right) = \tan ^{-1} \frac{1}{2}$.
Finally,$\cot \left( \tan ^{-1} \frac{1}{2} \right) = \cot \left( \cot ^{-1} 2 \right) = 2$.
Since $f(1)=1+1=2$,the result is $f(1)$.

B
$x+y+z+3=0$
C
$x+2 y+3 z-5=0$
D
$x-y-z=0$

Solution

(B) Given that $\cos ^{-1} x+\cos ^{-1} y+\cos ^{-1} z=3 \pi$.
We know that the range of $\cos ^{-1} \theta$ is $[0, \pi]$.
Since the sum of three values,each at most $\pi$,is $3 \pi$,each individual term must be equal to $\pi$.
Therefore,$\cos ^{-1} x = \pi$,$\cos ^{-1} y = \pi$,and $\cos ^{-1} z = \pi$.
This implies $x = \cos \pi = -1$,$y = \cos \pi = -1$,and $z = \cos \pi = -1$.
Substituting these values into the expression $x+y+z+3$,we get $(-1) + (-1) + (-1) + 3 = -3 + 3 = 0$.
Thus,$x+y+z+3=0$.

A

B

C
$R \setminus \left[\frac{1-\sqrt{5}}{2}, \frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}\right]$
D
$\left[\frac{1-\sqrt{5}}{2}, \frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}\right]$

Solution

(C) For the function $f(x) = \sqrt{\frac{x-[x]}{\log(x^2-x)}}$ to be defined,the following conditions must be met:
$1$. The expression inside the square root must be non-negative: $\frac{x-[x]}{\log(x^2-x)} \geq 0$.
$2$. The denominator must not be zero: $\log(x^2-x) \neq 0 \Rightarrow x^2-x \neq 1$.
$3$. The argument of the logarithm must be positive: $x^2-x > 0$.
Since $x-[x] = \{x\} \geq 0$ for all $x \in R$,the condition $\frac{x-[x]}{\log(x^2-x)} \geq 0$ simplifies to $\log(x^2-x) > 0$.
This implies $x^2-x > 1$,or $x^2-x-1 > 0$.
Solving $x^2-x-1 = 0$ gives $x = \frac{1 \pm \sqrt{5}}{2}$.
The inequality $x^2-x-1 > 0$ holds for $x \in \left(-\infty, \frac{1-\sqrt{5}}{2}\right) \cup \left(\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}, \infty\right)$.
Also,we must ensure $x^2-x > 0$,which is satisfied in the intervals above.
Thus,the domain is $R \setminus \left[\frac{1-\sqrt{5}}{2}, \frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}\right]$.

If $[x]$ denotes the greatest integer $\leq x$,then the domain of the function $f(x)=\sqrt{\frac{4-x^2}{[x]+2}}$ is
A
$(-\infty, -2) \cup [-1, 2]$
B
$(-\infty, -2) \cup [-1, 2)$
C
$(-\infty, -2] \cup [-1, 2)$
D
$(-\infty, -1] \cup [1, 2]$

Solution

(A) For the function $f(x) = \sqrt{\frac{4-x^2}{[x]+2}}$ to be defined,the expression inside the square root must be non-negative and the denominator must not be zero.
$1$. Denominator condition: $[x] + 2 \neq 0 \Rightarrow [x] \neq -2$. This implies $x \notin [-2, -1)$.
$2$. Inequality condition: $\frac{4-x^2}{[x]+2} \geq 0$.
Case $I$: If $[x] + 2 > 0$,then $[x] > -2$,which means $x \geq -1$.
Then $4 - x^2 \geq 0$ $\Rightarrow x^2 \leq 4$ $\Rightarrow x \in [-2, 2]$.
Combining $x \geq -1$ and $x \in [-2, 2]$,we get $x \in [-1, 2]$.
Case $II$: If $[x] + 2 < 0$,then $[x] < -2$,which means $x < -2$.
Then $4 - x^2 \leq 0$ $\Rightarrow x^2 \geq 4$ $\Rightarrow x \in (-\infty, -2] \cup [2, \infty)$.
Combining $x < -2$ and $x \in (-\infty, -2] \cup [2, \infty)$,we get $x \in (-\infty, -2)$.
Combining both cases,the domain is $(-\infty, -2) \cup [-1, 2]$.

The domain of the function $f(x) = \sin^{-1}\left[\log_4\left(\frac{x}{4}\right)\right] + \sqrt{17x - x^2 - 16}$ is
A
$[-1, 1]$
B
$[1, 4]$
C
$(0, 16]$
D
$[1, 16]$

Solution

(D) The function $f(x) = \sin^{-1}\left[\log_4\left(\frac{x}{4}\right)\right] + \sqrt{17x - x^2 - 16}$ is defined if both parts are defined.
First,for $\sin^{-1}(u)$,we must have $u \in [-1, 1]$:
$-1 \leq \log_4\left(\frac{x}{4}\right) \leq 1$
$4^{-1} \leq \frac{x}{4} \leq 4^1$
$\frac{1}{4} \leq \frac{x}{4} \leq 4$
$1 \leq x \leq 16$
Second,for the square root $\sqrt{17x - x^2 - 16}$,we must have $17x - x^2 - 16 \geq 0$:
$x^2 - 17x + 16 \leq 0$
$(x - 16)(x - 1) \leq 0$
$1 \leq x \leq 16$
Combining both conditions,the domain is $[1, 16]$.

The domain of the function $f(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{[x]^2 - [x] - 2}}$ is,where $[x]$ denotes the greatest integer function.
A
$(-\infty, -1) \cup [3, \infty)$
B
$(-\infty, -2) \cup (0, \infty)$
C
$(-\infty, -2) \cup (2, \infty)$
D
$(-\infty, -1) \cup (3, \infty)$

Solution

(A) For the function $f(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{[x]^2 - [x] - 2}}$ to be defined,the expression inside the square root must be strictly positive:
$[x]^2 - [x] - 2 > 0$
Factorizing the quadratic expression:
$([x] - 2)([x] + 1) > 0$
This inequality holds if $[x] > 2$ or $[x] < -1$.
If $[x] > 2$,then the smallest integer value is $3$,so $x \geq 3$.
If $[x] < -1$,then the largest integer value is $-2$,so $x < -1$.
Thus,the domain is $x \in (-\infty, -1) \cup [3, \infty)$.

Match the functions of List-$I$ with their nature in List-$II$ and choose the correct option.
$A$. $f: R \rightarrow R$ defined by $f(x) = \cos(112x - 37)$$I$. Injection but not surjection
$B$. $f: A \rightarrow B$ defined by $f(x) = x|x|$ when $A = [-2, 2]$ and $B = [-4, 4]$$II$. Surjection but not injection
$C$. $f: R \rightarrow R$ defined by $f(x) = (x-2)(x-3)(x-5)$$III$. Bijection
$D$. $f: N \rightarrow N$ defined by $f(n) = n+1$$IV$. Neither injection nor surjection
$V$. Composite function

Solution

(A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I) $f: R \rightarrow R$,$f(x) = \cos(112x - 37)$. Since $f(x)$ is a periodic function,it is many-one,hence not injective. The range is $[-1, 1]$,which is a proper subset of the codomain $R$,so it is not surjective. Thus,$A \rightarrow IV$.
$(B)$ $f: [-2, 2] \rightarrow [-4, 4]$,$f(x) = x|x|$. This can be written as $f(x) = \begin{cases} -x^2 & -2 \leq x < 0 \\ x^2 & 0 \leq x \leq 2 \end{cases}$. This function is strictly increasing on $[-2, 2]$,so it is injective. The range is $[-4, 4]$,which equals the codomain,so it is surjective. Thus,$B \rightarrow III$.
$(C)$ $f: R \rightarrow R$,$f(x) = (x-2)(x-3)(x-5)$. Since $f(2) = f(3) = f(5) = 0$,it is not injective. As it is a cubic polynomial,its range is $R$,so it is surjective. Thus,$C \rightarrow II$.
$(D)$ $f: N \rightarrow N$,$f(n) = n+1$. Since $f(n_1) = f(n_2) \implies n_1+1 = n_2+1 \implies n_1 = n_2$,it is injective. The range is ${2, 3, 4, \dots}$,which is not equal to the codomain $N$ (as $1$ is not in the range),so it is not surjective. Thus,$D \rightarrow I$.

If the function $f:[a, b] \rightarrow \left[-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}, \frac{1}{2}\right]$ defined by $f(x) = \left| \begin{array}{ccc} 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 1+\sin x & 1 \\ 1+\cos x & 1 & 1 \end{array} \right|$ is one-one and onto,then:
A
$a = -\frac{\pi}{4}, b = \frac{\pi}{6}$
B
$a = -\frac{\pi}{2}, b = \frac{\pi}{2}$
C
$a = -\frac{\pi}{6}, b = \frac{\pi}{4}$
D
$a = -\pi, b = \pi$

Solution

(A) Given $f(x) = \left| \begin{array}{ccc} 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 1+\sin x & 1 \\ 1+\cos x & 1 & 1 \end{array} \right|$.
Applying $C_2 \rightarrow C_2 - C_1$ and $C_3 \rightarrow C_3 - C_1$:
$f(x) = \left| \begin{array}{ccc} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 1 & \sin x & 0 \\ 1+\cos x & -\cos x & -\cos x \end{array} \right|$.
Expanding along the first row: $f(x) = 1 \cdot (\sin x \cdot (-\cos x) - 0) = -\sin x \cos x = -\frac{1}{2} \sin 2x$.
For $f$ to be one-one and onto,the range of $f(x)$ must be $\left[ -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}, \frac{1}{2} \right]$.
So,$-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \leq -\frac{1}{2} \sin 2x \leq \frac{1}{2}$.
Multiplying by $-2$: $-1 \leq \sin 2x \leq \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$.
This implies $2x \in \left[ -\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{3} \right]$.
Dividing by $2$: $x \in \left[ -\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{\pi}{6} \right]$.
Thus,$a = -\frac{\pi}{4}$ and $b = \frac{\pi}{6}$.

Let $f: R \rightarrow R$ and $g: R \rightarrow R$ be the functions defined by $f(x) = \frac{x}{1+x^2}$ and $g(x) = \frac{x^2}{1+x^2}$. Then,the correct statement$(s)$ among the following is/are:
A
Both $f$ and $g$ are one-one
B
Both $f$ and $g$ are onto
C
Both $f$ and $g$ are neither one-one nor onto
D
$f$ and $g$ are onto but not one-one

Solution

(C) Given $f(x) = \frac{x}{1+x^2}$ and $g(x) = \frac{x^2}{1+x^2}$ for $x \in R$.
For $f(x)$,$f'(x) = \frac{(1+x^2)(1) - x(2x)}{(1+x^2)^2} = \frac{1-x^2}{(1+x^2)^2}$.
Since $f'(x)$ changes sign at $x = \pm 1$,$f(x)$ is not monotonic,hence not one-one.
The range of $f(x)$ is $[-\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2}]$,which is not equal to the codomain $R$,so $f(x)$ is not onto.
For $g(x)$,$g(-x) = \frac{(-x)^2}{1+(-x)^2} = \frac{x^2}{1+x^2} = g(x)$,so $g(x)$ is an even function,hence not one-one.
The range of $g(x)$ is $[0, 1)$,which is not equal to the codomain $R$,so $g(x)$ is not onto.
Therefore,both $f$ and $g$ are neither one-one nor onto.

Let $f(x)=(x+1)^2-1, x \geq-1$. Then $\{x \mid f(x)=f^{-1}(x)\} =$

B
$\{-1, \frac{-3+i \sqrt{3}}{2}, \frac{-3-i \sqrt{3}}{2}\}$
C
$\{0, -1\}$
D
$\phi$

Solution

(C) Given $f(x) = (x+1)^2 - 1$ for $x \geq -1$.
To find $f^{-1}(x)$,set $y = (x+1)^2 - 1$.
Then $y+1 = (x+1)^2$,so $x+1 = \sqrt{y+1}$ (since $x \geq -1$),which gives $x = \sqrt{y+1} - 1$.
Thus,$f^{-1}(x) = \sqrt{x+1} - 1$.
We solve $f(x) = f^{-1}(x)$,which implies $(x+1)^2 - 1 = \sqrt{x+1} - 1$.
This simplifies to $(x+1)^2 = \sqrt{x+1}$.
Squaring both sides,we get $(x+1)^4 = x+1$,or $(x+1)((x+1)^3 - 1) = 0$.
This gives $x+1 = 0$ or $(x+1)^3 = 1$.
Case $1$: $x+1 = 0 \Rightarrow x = -1$.
Case $2$: $x+1 = 1 \Rightarrow x = 0$.
Case $3$: $x+1 = \omega$ or $x+1 = \omega^2$,where $\omega$ is a complex cube root of unity.
$x = \omega - 1 = \frac{-1+i\sqrt{3}}{2} - 1 = \frac{-3+i\sqrt{3}}{2}$ and $x = \omega^2 - 1 = \frac{-1-i\sqrt{3}}{2} - 1 = \frac{-3-i\sqrt{3}}{2}$.
Since the domain is $x \geq -1$,we only consider real values $x = -1$ and $x = 0$.
Thus,the set is $\{0, -1\}$.

C
$\frac{1}{2}\left[x+\sqrt{x^2+4}\right]$
D
$\frac{1}{2}\left[x-\sqrt{x^2+4}\right]$

Solution

(C) Given $f(x) = x - \frac{1}{x}$. Let $y = f(x)$,so $y = x - \frac{1}{x}$.
To find $f^{-1}(x)$,we solve for $x$ in terms of $y$:
$y = \frac{x^2 - 1}{x} \Rightarrow x^2 - yx - 1 = 0$.
Using the quadratic formula $x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$:
$x = \frac{y \pm \sqrt{y^2 - 4(1)(-1)}}{2(1)} = \frac{y \pm \sqrt{y^2 + 4}}{2}$.
Since the domain of $f$ is $[1, \infty)$,$x$ must be positive,so we take the positive root:
$x = \frac{y + \sqrt{y^2 + 4}}{2}$.
Replacing $y$ with $x$,we get $f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x + \sqrt{x^2 + 4}}{2}$.

If $[x]$ represents the greatest integer $\leq x$ and $[\alpha, \beta]$ is the set of all real values of $x$ for which the real function $f(x)=\frac{\sqrt{3+x}+\sqrt{3-x}}{\sqrt{[x]+2}}$ is defined,then $f^2(\alpha+1)+5 f^2(\beta)=$
A
$0$
B
$\frac{36}{5}$
C
$12$
D
$1$

Solution

(C) The given function is $f(x)=\frac{\sqrt{3+x}+\sqrt{3-x}}{\sqrt{[x]+2}}$.
For $f(x)$ to be defined,the following conditions must be satisfied:
$1. \ 3+x \geq 0 \Rightarrow x \geq -3$
$2. \ 3-x \geq 0 \Rightarrow x \leq 3$
$3. \ [x]+2 > 0 \Rightarrow [x] > -2$
Since $[x] > -2$,the smallest integer value $[x]$ can take is $-1$. Thus,$x \geq -1$.
Combining these conditions,we get $x \in [-1, 3]$.
Given that the interval is $[\alpha, \beta]$,we have $\alpha = -1$ and $\beta = 3$.
Now,we calculate $f^2(\alpha+1) + 5f^2(\beta) = f^2(0) + 5f^2(3)$.
$f(0) = \frac{\sqrt{3+0} + \sqrt{3-0}}{\sqrt{[0]+2}} = \frac{2\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}} = \sqrt{6}$. So,$f^2(0) = 6$.
$f(3) = \frac{\sqrt{3+3} + \sqrt{3-3}}{\sqrt{[3]+2}} = \frac{\sqrt{6} + 0}{\sqrt{3+2}} = \frac{\sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{5}}$. So,$f^2(3) = \frac{6}{5}$.
Therefore,$f^2(0) + 5f^2(3) = 6 + 5 \times \frac{6}{5} = 6 + 6 = 12$.
Hence,option $C$ is correct.

A
$120$
B
$92$
C
$56$
D
$112$

Solution

(D) We are given $X = \{0, 1, 2\}$ and $Y = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8\}$. We need to find the number of non-constant functions $f: X \to Y$ such that $f(0) \leq f(1) \leq f(2)$.
Since the function must be non-constant,we exclude the case where $f(0) = f(1) = f(2)$.
The total number of non-decreasing functions is given by the number of ways to choose $3$ elements from $Y$ with replacement,which is $\binom{n+r-1}{r} = \binom{8+3-1}{3} = \binom{10}{3} = \frac{10 \times 9 \times 8}{3 \times 2 \times 1} = 120$.
There are $8$ constant functions where $f(0) = f(1) = f(2) = k$ for $k \in \{1, 2, \dots, 8\}$.
Thus,the number of non-constant non-decreasing functions is $120 - 8 = 112$.
Alternatively,we can sum the cases:
Case $I$: $f(0) < f(1) < f(2)$. Number of ways = $\binom{8}{3} = 56$.
Case $II$: $f(0) = f(1) < f(2)$. Number of ways = $\binom{8}{2} = 28$.
Case $III$: $f(0) < f(1) = f(2)$. Number of ways = $\binom{8}{2} = 28$.
Total = $56 + 28 + 28 = 112$.

To find the point of discontinuity $a$,we check the points where the definition changes,specifically $x=0, 3, 6$.
At $x=3$:
$\lim _{x \rightarrow 3^{-}} f(x) = \lim _{x \rightarrow 3^{-}} e^{3 x} = e^9$
$\lim _{x \rightarrow 3^{+}} f(x) = \lim _{x \rightarrow 3^{+}} (x^2-4 x+3) = 3^2 - 4(3) + 3 = 9 - 12 + 3 = 0$
Since $\lim _{x \rightarrow 3^{-}} f(x) \neq \lim _{x \rightarrow 3^{+}} f(x)$,the function is discontinuous at $x=3$. Thus,$a=3$.
Now,we evaluate the limit:
$\lim _{x \rightarrow 3} \frac{x^2-9}{x^3-5 x^2+9 x-9} = \lim _{x \rightarrow 3} \frac{(x-3)(x+3)}{(x-3)(x^2-2 x+3)}$
$= \lim _{x \rightarrow 3} \frac{x+3}{x^2-2 x+3} = \frac{3+3}{3^2-2(3)+3} = \frac{6}{9-6+3} = \frac{6}{6} = 1$

A
$-\frac{1}{4}$
B
$0$
C
$\frac{1}{4}$
D
$1$

Solution

(C) Given that the function $f(x)$ is right continuous at $x = 2$.
By the definition of right continuity,we have $\lim_{x \to 2^+} f(x) = f(2)$.
Here,$f(2) = k$.
So,$k = \lim_{h \to 0^+} f(2+h)$.
Substituting the function definition:
$k = \lim_{h \to 0^+} ((2+h)^2 + e^{\frac{1}{2-(2+h)}})^{-1}$.
$k = \lim_{h \to 0^+} ((2+h)^2 + e^{\frac{1}{-h}})^{-1}$.
As $h \to 0^+$,the term $\frac{1}{-h} \to -\infty$,so $e^{\frac{1}{-h}} \to e^{-\infty} = 0$.
Therefore,$k = (2^2 + 0)^{-1} = (4)^{-1} = \frac{1}{4}$.

A
$2$
B
$4$
C
$6$
D

Solution

(C) For the function $f(x)$ to be continuous at $x = 0$,we must have $\lim_{x \rightarrow 0^-} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow 0^+} f(x) = f(0) = b$.
First,evaluate the left-hand limit:
$\lim_{x \rightarrow 0^-} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow 0^-} \frac{a(1-\cos 2x)}{x^2} = \lim_{x \rightarrow 0^-} \frac{a(2 \sin^2 x)}{x^2} = 2a \lim_{x \rightarrow 0^-} \left(\frac{\sin x}{x}\right)^2 = 2a(1)^2 = 2a$.
Thus,$2a = b$.
Next,evaluate the right-hand limit:
$\lim_{x \rightarrow 0^+} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow 0^+} \frac{\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{4+\sqrt{x}}-2}$.
Rationalizing the denominator:
$\lim_{x \rightarrow 0^+} \frac{\sqrt{x}(\sqrt{4+\sqrt{x}}+2)}{(\sqrt{4+\sqrt{x}}-2)(\sqrt{4+\sqrt{x}}+2)} = \lim_{x \rightarrow 0^+} \frac{\sqrt{x}(\sqrt{4+\sqrt{x}}+2)}{(4+\sqrt{x})-4} = \lim_{x \rightarrow 0^+} \frac{\sqrt{x}(\sqrt{4+\sqrt{x}}+2)}{\sqrt{x}} = \lim_{x \rightarrow 0^+} (\sqrt{4+\sqrt{x}}+2) = \sqrt{4}+2 = 4$.
So,$b = 4$.
Substituting $b = 4$ into $2a = b$,we get $2a = 4$,which implies $a = 2$.
Therefore,$a+b = 2+4 = 6$.

A
continuous at $x = \frac{5}{3}$
B
differentiable at $x = \frac{5}{3}$
C
differentiable at $x = 2$
D
discontinuous at $x = -2$

Solution

(C) We check the continuity at $x = \frac{5}{3}$:
Left-hand limit: $\lim_{x \to \frac{5}{3}^-} f(x) = 5 - 3(\frac{5}{3}) = 5 - 5 = 0$.
Right-hand limit: $\lim_{x \to \frac{5}{3}^+} f(x) = (\frac{5}{3})^2 - 3(\frac{5}{3}) + 20 = \frac{25}{9} - 5 + 20 = \frac{25}{9} + 15 = \frac{25 + 135}{9} = \frac{160}{9}$.
Since $\lim_{x \to \frac{5}{3}^-} f(x) \neq \lim_{x \to \frac{5}{3}^+} f(x)$,the function is discontinuous at $x = \frac{5}{3}$.
Now check differentiability at $x = 2$. Since $2 > \frac{5}{3}$,the function is defined by $f(x) = x^2 - 3x + 20$ in the neighborhood of $x = 2$.
This is a polynomial function,which is differentiable everywhere in its domain. Thus,$f(x)$ is differentiable at $x = 2$.

B

C

Solution

(C) The function $f(x) = \log \left(\frac{x-1}{x+2}\right)$ is defined and continuous where the argument of the logarithm is strictly positive.
We require $\frac{x-1}{x+2} > 0$.
To solve this inequality,we find the critical points by setting the numerator and denominator to zero: $x-1 = 0 \Rightarrow x = 1$ and $x+2 = 0 \Rightarrow x = -2$.
Using the wavy curve method (sign scheme) on the number line:
For $x > 1$,$\frac{x-1}{x+2} > 0$.
For $-2 < x < 1$,$\frac{x-1}{x+2} < 0$.
For $x < -2$,$\frac{x-1}{x+2} > 0$.
Thus,the function is continuous for $x \in (-\infty, -2) \cup (1, \infty)$.

$\Rightarrow \frac{2-\alpha}{8^{2 / 3}}=\frac{7}{4} \Rightarrow \frac{2-\alpha}{4}=\frac{7}{4} \Rightarrow 2-\alpha=7 \Rightarrow \alpha=-5$.
Now,$h(x)= \begin{cases} \sin (-5x), & 0 \leq x \leq \frac{\pi}{10} \\ \cos (-10x), & \frac{\pi}{10} < x \leq \frac{\pi}{5} \end{cases}$.
Since $\sin (-5x)$ and $\cos (-10x)$ are continuous functions,we only need to check continuity at $x=\frac{\pi}{10}$.
$LHL = \lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi}{10}^-} \sin (-5x) = \sin \left(-\frac{5\pi}{10}\right) = \sin \left(-\frac{\pi}{2}\right) = -1$.
$h\left(\frac{\pi}{10}\right) = \sin \left(-\frac{5\pi}{10}\right) = -1$.
$RHL = \lim _{x \rightarrow \frac{\pi}{10}^+} \cos (-10x) = \cos \left(-\frac{10\pi}{10}\right) = \cos (-\pi) = -1$.
Since $LHL = RHL = h\left(\frac{\pi}{10}\right)$,the function $h(x)$ is continuous at $x=\frac{\pi}{10}$.
Thus,$h(x)$ is continuous on $\left[0, \frac{\pi}{5}\right]$.

If $f(x) = \begin{cases} ax+b, & \text{if } x \leq 1 \\ ax^2+c, & \text{if } 1 < x \leq 2 \\ \frac{dx^2+1}{x}, & \text{if } x > 2 \end{cases}$ is differentiable on $\mathbb{R}$,then $ad-bc = $
A
$0$
B
$1$
C
$-1$
D
$2$

Solution

(C) Given that $f(x)$ is differentiable on $\mathbb{R}$,it must be continuous and its derivative must exist at $x=1$ and $x=2$.
Continuity at $x=1$: $f(1^-) = f(1^+) \Rightarrow a+b = a+c \Rightarrow b=c$.
Continuity at $x=2$: $f(2^-) = f(2^+) \Rightarrow 4a+c = \frac{4d+1}{2} \Rightarrow 8a+2c = 4d+1$.
Differentiability at $x=1$: $f'(1^-) = f'(1^+) \Rightarrow a = 2a(1) \Rightarrow a=0$.
Since $a=0$,the continuity equation at $x=2$ becomes $2c = 4d+1$.
Differentiability at $x=2$: $f'(2^-) = f'(2^+) \Rightarrow 2a(2) = \frac{d(2)^2-1}{2^2} \Rightarrow 4a = \frac{4d-1}{4}$.
Substituting $a=0$: $0 = \frac{4d-1}{4} \Rightarrow 4d-1 = 0 \Rightarrow d = \frac{1}{4}$.
Now,substitute $d = \frac{1}{4}$ into $2c = 4d+1$: $2c = 4(\frac{1}{4}) + 1 = 2 \Rightarrow c=1$.
Since $b=c$,we have $b=1$.
Finally,$ad-bc = (0)(\frac{1}{4}) - (1)(1) = -1$.

If $\sqrt{\frac{y}{x}}+4 \sqrt{\frac{x}{y}}=4$,then $\frac{d y}{d x}=$
A
$x y$
B
$x / y$
C
$-4$
D
$4$

Solution

(D) Given equation is $\sqrt{\frac{y}{x}}+4 \sqrt{\frac{x}{y}}=4$.
Let $u = \sqrt{\frac{y}{x}}$. Then the equation becomes $u + \frac{4}{u} = 4$.
Multiplying by $u$,we get $u^2 - 4u + 4 = 0$,which is $(u-2)^2 = 0$.
Thus,$u = 2$,which implies $\sqrt{\frac{y}{x}} = 2$.
Squaring both sides,we get $\frac{y}{x} = 4$,or $y = 4x$.
Now,differentiating both sides with respect to $x$,we get $\frac{d y}{d x} = \frac{d}{d x}(4x) = 4$.
Therefore,$\frac{d y}{d x} = 4$.

If $y=\sqrt{x+\sqrt{y+\sqrt{x+\sqrt{y+\ldots \infty}}}}$,then $\frac{d y}{d x}=$
A
$\frac{y^3-x}{2 y^2-2 x y+1}$
B
$\frac{x+y^3}{2 y^2-x}$
C
$\frac{y+x}{y^2-2 x}$
D
$\frac{y^2-x}{2 y^3-2 x y-1}$

Solution

(D) Given the equation: $y=\sqrt{x+\sqrt{y+\sqrt{x+\sqrt{y+\ldots \infty}}}}$
We can rewrite the inner part as: $y=\sqrt{x+\sqrt{y+y}}$
Squaring both sides: $y^2=x+\sqrt{2y}$
Rearranging: $y^2-x=\sqrt{2y}$
Squaring again: $(y^2-x)^2=2y$
Expanding: $y^4-2xy^2+x^2=2y$
Rearranging to implicit form: $y^4-2xy^2-2y+x^2=0$
Differentiating with respect to $x$: $\frac{d}{dx}(y^4-2xy^2-2y+x^2) = 0$
$4y^3 \frac{dy}{dx} - (2y^2 + 4xy \frac{dy}{dx}) - 2 \frac{dy}{dx} + 2x = 0$
Grouping $\frac{dy}{dx}$ terms: $\frac{dy}{dx}(4y^3 - 4xy - 2) = 2y^2 - 2x$
Solving for $\frac{dy}{dx}$: $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2y^2-2x}{4y^3-4xy-2} = \frac{y^2-x}{2y^3-2xy-1}$
