If a variable circle $S=0$ touches the line $y=x$ and passes through the point $(0,0)$,then the fixed point that lies on the common chord of the circles $x^2+y^2+6x+8y-7=0$ and $S=0$ is
A
$\left(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2}\right)$
B
$\left(-\frac{1}{2}, -\frac{1}{2}\right)$
C
$\left(\frac{1}{2}, -\frac{1}{2}\right)$
D
$\left(-\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2}\right)$

Solution

(A) Let the equation of the variable circle $S=0$ passing through the origin $(0,0)$ be $x^2+y^2+2gx+2fy=0$.
Since the circle touches the line $x-y=0$,the perpendicular distance from the center $(-g, -f)$ to the line must equal the radius $\sqrt{g^2+f^2}$.
$\frac{|-g+f|}{\sqrt{1^2+(-1)^2}} = \sqrt{g^2+f^2} \Rightarrow \frac{(g-f)^2}{2} = g^2+f^2$.
$g^2+f^2-2gf = 2g^2+2f^2$ $\Rightarrow g^2+f^2+2gf = 0$ $\Rightarrow (g+f)^2 = 0$ $\Rightarrow f = -g$.
Substituting $f = -g$ into the circle equation,we get $S = x^2+y^2+2gx-2gy = 0$.
The common chord of $S=0$ and $x^2+y^2+6x+8y-7=0$ is given by $S_1 - S_2 = 0$.
$(x^2+y^2+2gx-2gy) - (x^2+y^2+6x+8y-7) = 0$.
$(2g-6)x - (2g+8)y + 7 = 0$.
$2g(x-y) - (6x+8y-7) = 0$.
This represents a family of lines passing through the intersection of $x-y=0$ and $6x+8y-7=0$.
Solving these: $x=y$,so $6x+8x-7=0$ $\Rightarrow 14x=7$ $\Rightarrow x=\frac{1}{2}$.
Thus,the fixed point is $\left(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2}\right)$.

The lines represented by $5x^2-xy-5x+y=0$ are normals to a circle $S=0$. If this circle touches the circle $S^{\prime} \equiv x^2+y^2-2x+2y-7=0$ externally,then the equation of the chord of contact of the centre of $S^{\prime}=0$ with respect to $S=0$ is
A
$2y-7=0$
B
$x-1=0$
C
$3x+4y-7=0$
D
$x+y=5$

Solution

(A) The given circle is $S^{\prime} \equiv x^2+y^2-2x+2y-7=0$.
Comparing with $x^2+y^2+2gx+2fy+c=0$,we get $g=-1, f=1, c=-7$.
The centre is $C_1(-g, -f) = (1, -1)$ and the radius is $r_1 = \sqrt{g^2+f^2-c} = \sqrt{1+1+7} = 3$.
The pair of lines $5x^2-xy-5x+y=0$ are normals to the circle $S=0$.
Factoring the equation: $x(5x-y) - 1(5x-y) = 0 \Rightarrow (x-1)(5x-y) = 0$.
The lines are $x=1$ and $y=5x$.
The intersection of these normals is the centre $C_2$ of circle $S=0$.
Solving $x=1$ and $y=5x$,we get $x=1, y=5$. So,$C_2(1, 5)$.
Since the circles touch externally,the distance between centres $C_1C_2 = r_1 + r_2$.
$C_1C_2 = \sqrt{(1-1)^2 + (5 - (-1))^2} = \sqrt{0^2 + 6^2} = 6$.
Thus,$6 = 3 + r_2 \Rightarrow r_2 = 3$.
The equation of circle $S=0$ with centre $(1, 5)$ and radius $3$ is $(x-1)^2 + (y-5)^2 = 3^2$.
$x^2 - 2x + 1 + y^2 - 10y + 25 = 9 \Rightarrow x^2 + y^2 - 2x - 10y + 17 = 0$.
The chord of contact of point $C_1(1, -1)$ with respect to $S=0$ is given by $T=0$.
$x(1) + y(-1) - 1(x+1) - 5(y-1) + 17 = 0$.
$x - y - x - 1 - 5y + 5 + 17 = 0$.
$-6y + 21 = 0$ $\Rightarrow 6y = 21$ $\Rightarrow 2y = 7$ $\Rightarrow 2y-7=0$.

If the angle between a pair of tangents drawn from a point $P$ to the circle $x^2+y^2-4x+2y+3=0$ is $\frac{\pi}{2}$,then the locus of $P$ is
A
$x^2+y^2-2x+2y+3=0$
B
$x^2+y^2-8x+4y+2=0$
C
$x^2+y^2+4x+2y+1=0$
D
$x^2+y^2-4x+2y+1=0$

Solution

(D) The given circle is $x^2+y^2-4x+2y+3=0$.
Comparing with $x^2+y^2+2gx+2fy+c=0$,we get $g=-2, f=1, c=3$.
The center is $(2, -1)$ and the radius $r = \sqrt{g^2+f^2-c} = \sqrt{4+1-3} = \sqrt{2}$.
If the angle between the tangents is $\frac{\pi}{2}$,the locus of the point $P$ is the director circle.
The equation of the director circle is $(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2 = 2r^2$,where $(h, k)$ is the center.
Substituting the values: $(x-2)^2+(y+1)^2 = 2(\sqrt{2})^2 = 4$.
Expanding this: $x^2-4x+4+y^2+2y+1 = 4$.
$x^2+y^2-4x+2y+1 = 0$.
Thus,option $D$ is correct.

Study the following statements.
$I$. The vertex of the parabola $x = ly^2 + my + n$ is $\left(n - \frac{m^2}{4l}, -\frac{m}{2l}\right)$.
$II$. The focus of the parabola $y = lx^2 + mx + n$ is $\left(-\frac{m}{2l}, n - \frac{m^2-1}{4l}\right)$.
$III$. The pole of the line $lx + my + n = 0$ with respect to the parabola $x^2 = 4ay$ is $\left(-\frac{2al}{m}, \frac{n}{m}\right)$.
Then,the correct option among the following is:
A
All the three statements are true
B
Statements $I$ & $II$ are true but $III$ is false
C
Statements $I$ & $III$ are true but $II$ is false
D
Statements $II$ & $III$ are true but $I$ is false

Solution

(C) For statement $I$: $x = ly^2 + my + n \Rightarrow x - n = l(y^2 + \frac{m}{l}y) \Rightarrow x - n + \frac{m^2}{4l} = l(y + \frac{m}{2l})^2 \Rightarrow (y + \frac{m}{2l})^2 = \frac{1}{l}(x - (n - \frac{m^2}{4l}))$. The vertex is $(n - \frac{m^2}{4l}, -\frac{m}{2l})$. Thus,statement $I$ is true.
For statement $II$: $y = lx^2 + mx + n \Rightarrow y - n = l(x^2 + \frac{m}{l}x) \Rightarrow y - n + \frac{m^2}{4l} = l(x + \frac{m}{2l})^2 \Rightarrow (x + \frac{m}{2l})^2 = \frac{1}{l}(y - (n - \frac{m^2}{4l}))$. Here $4a = \frac{1}{l} \Rightarrow a = \frac{1}{4l}$. The focus is $(h, k+a) = (-\frac{m}{2l}, n - \frac{m^2}{4l} + \frac{1}{4l}) = (-\frac{m}{2l}, n - \frac{m^2-1}{4l})$. The given focus in the question is incorrect. Thus,statement $II$ is false.
For statement $III$: The pole of $lx + my + n = 0$ with respect to $x^2 = 4ay$ is found by comparing with the chord of contact $xx_1 = 2a(y + y_1) \Rightarrow xx_1 - 2ay - 2ay_1 = 0$. Comparing coefficients: $\frac{x_1}{l} = \frac{-2a}{m} = \frac{-2ay_1}{n}$. Thus $x_1 = -\frac{2al}{m}$ and $y_1 = -\frac{n}{m}$. The given pole is $(\frac{-2al}{m}, \frac{n}{m})$,which is incorrect as the $y$-coordinate is $-\frac{n}{m}$. Thus,statement $III$ is false.

Match the following parametric forms in List-$I$ with their corresponding conic sections in List-$II$:
List-$I$List-$II$
$(A)$ $\left[\frac{p}{2}\left(t+\frac{1}{t}\right), \frac{q}{2}\left(t-\frac{1}{t}\right)\right]$$(I)$ parabola
$(B)$ $(p+q \cos \theta, r+q \sin \theta)$$(II)$ circle
$(C)$ $(p+\lambda^2, q-\lambda)$$(III)$ ellipse
$(IV)$ hyperbola

Solution

(A) For $(A)$: Let $x = \frac{p}{2}\left(t+\frac{1}{t}\right)$ and $y = \frac{q}{2}\left(t-\frac{1}{t}\right)$.
$\Rightarrow \frac{2x}{p} = t+\frac{1}{t}$ and $\frac{2y}{q} = t-\frac{1}{t}$.
Squaring and subtracting: $\left(\frac{2x}{p}\right)^2 - \left(\frac{2y}{q}\right)^2 = \left(t+\frac{1}{t}\right)^2 - \left(t-\frac{1}{t}\right)^2 = 4$.
$\Rightarrow \frac{x^2}{p^2} - \frac{y^2}{q^2} = 1$,which represents a hyperbola. Thus,$(A \rightarrow IV)$.
For $(B)$: Let $x = p+q \cos \theta$ and $y = r+q \sin \theta$.
$\Rightarrow (x-p) = q \cos \theta$ and $(y-r) = q \sin \theta$.
Squaring and adding: $(x-p)^2 + (y-r)^2 = q^2(\cos^2 \theta + \sin^2 \theta) = q^2$.
This represents a circle. Thus,$(B \rightarrow II)$.
For $(C)$: Let $x = p+\lambda^2$ and $y = q-\lambda$.
$\Rightarrow \lambda = q-y$.
Substituting $\lambda$ in $x$: $x = p + (q-y)^2$.
$\Rightarrow (y-q)^2 = x-p$,which represents a parabola. Thus,$(C \rightarrow I)$.
Therefore,the correct match is $(A$ $\rightarrow IV, B$ $\rightarrow II, C$ $\rightarrow I)$.

If $y=mx+1$ is a tangent to the parabola $y^2=4x$,then $m=$
A
$1$
B
$2$
C
$-1$
D
$-2$

Solution

(A) The equation of the parabola is $y^2=4ax$,where $4a=4$,so $a=1$.
The condition for the line $y=mx+c$ to be a tangent to the parabola $y^2=4ax$ is $c = \frac{a}{m}$.
Given the line $y=mx+1$,we have $c=1$.
Substituting the values,we get $1 = \frac{1}{m}$,which implies $m=1$.

If the line segment joining the vertex of the parabola $y^2=4ax$ and a point on the parabola makes an angle $\theta$ with the positive $X$-axis,then the length of that line segment is
A
$\frac{4a \sin \theta}{\cos^2 \theta}$
B
$\frac{4a \cos \theta}{\sin^2 \theta}$
C
$4a \sin \theta \cdot \cos^2 \theta$
D
$4a \cos \theta \cdot \sin^2 \theta$

Solution

(B) The equation of the given parabola is $y^2=4ax$,which has its vertex at $V(0,0)$.
Let a point on the parabola be $P(at^2, 2at)$.
The slope of the line segment joining $V(0,0)$ and $P(at^2, 2at)$ is given by $\frac{2at-0}{at^2-0} = \tan \theta$.
Simplifying this,we get $\frac{2}{t} = \tan \theta$,which implies $t = 2 \cot \theta$.
The length of the line segment $VP$ is given by $\sqrt{(at^2-0)^2 + (2at-0)^2} = \sqrt{a^2t^4 + 4a^2t^2} = a|t|\sqrt{t^2+4}$.
Substituting $t = 2 \cot \theta$:
$VP = a(2 \cot \theta) \sqrt{4 \cot^2 \theta + 4} = 2a \cot \theta \cdot 2 \sqrt{\cot^2 \theta + 1} = 4a \cot \theta \operatorname{cosec} \theta$.
$VP = 4a \left(\frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta}\right) \left(\frac{1}{\sin \theta}\right) = \frac{4a \cos \theta}{\sin^2 \theta}$.
Thus,option $B$ is correct.

Consider the curves $C_1: y^2=4x$ and $C_2: x^2+y^2-6x+1=0$. Assertion $(A)$: The common tangents to the curves $C_1$ and $C_2$ are orthogonal. Reason $(R)$: $x-y+1=0$ and $x+y+1=0$ are the common tangents to the curves $C_1$ and $C_2$.
A
Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
B
Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
C
Assertion is true but Reason is false.
D
Assertion is false but Reason is true.

Solution

(A) Given: $C_1: y^2=4x$,where $a=1$.
$C_2: x^2+y^2-6x+1=0$,which has center $(3,0)$ and radius $r = \sqrt{3^2+0^2-1} = \sqrt{8} = 2\sqrt{2}$.
Equation of tangent to $C_1$ in slope form is $y = mx + \frac{1}{m}$,or $m^2x - my + 1 = 0$.
Since this is also a tangent to $C_2$,the perpendicular distance from the center $(3,0)$ to this line must equal the radius $2\sqrt{2}$.
$\frac{|m^2(3) - m(0) + 1|}{\sqrt{(m^2)^2 + (-m)^2}} = 2\sqrt{2}$
$\frac{|3m^2+1|}{\sqrt{m^4+m^2}} = 2\sqrt{2}$
Squaring both sides: $(3m^2+1)^2 = 8(m^4+m^2)$
$9m^4 + 6m^2 + 1 = 8m^4 + 8m^2$
$m^4 - 2m^2 + 1 = 0$
$(m^2-1)^2 = 0 \Rightarrow m = \pm 1$.
For $m=1$,the tangent is $y = x + 1 \Rightarrow x - y + 1 = 0$.
For $m=-1$,the tangent is $y = -x - 1 \Rightarrow x + y + 1 = 0$.
Since the slopes are $m_1=1$ and $m_2=-1$,their product $m_1 \cdot m_2 = -1$,which means the tangents are orthogonal.
Thus,both Assertion and Reason are true,and the Reason correctly explains the Assertion.

Let $P$ represent the point $(3, 6)$ on the parabola $y^2 = 12x$. For the parabola $y^2 = 12x$,if $l_1$ is the length of the normal chord drawn at $P$ and $l_2$ is the length of the focal chord drawn through $P$,then $\frac{l_1}{l_2} = $
A
$2 \sqrt{2}$
B
$3$
C
$4 \sqrt{2}$
D
$5$

Solution

(A) The equation of the parabola is $y^2 = 12x$,which is of the form $y^2 = 4ax$,so $a = 3$.
Point $P(3, 6)$ corresponds to $at^2 = 3$ and $2at = 6$. Substituting $a = 3$,we get $3t^2 = 3 \implies t = 1$.
The length of the normal chord at $t$ is given by $l_1 = 2a(t^2+2) \sqrt{t^2+1}$. For $t = 1$,$l_1 = 2(3)(1+2) \sqrt{1+1} = 6(3) \sqrt{2} = 18 \sqrt{2}$.
The length of the focal chord passing through $P(at^2, 2at)$ is $l_2 = a(t + \frac{1}{t})^2$. For $t = 1$,$l_2 = 3(1 + \frac{1}{1})^2 = 3(2)^2 = 12$.
Therefore,$\frac{l_1}{l_2} = \frac{18 \sqrt{2}}{12} = \frac{3 \sqrt{2}}{2} = \frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}$.
Wait,re-evaluating the normal chord length formula: The length of the normal chord at $t$ is $l_1 = 2a(t^2+2) \sqrt{1+t^2}$. For $t=1$,$l_1 = 2(3)(3)\sqrt{2} = 18\sqrt{2}$.
Re-evaluating the focal chord length: The length of a focal chord with parameter $t$ is $a(t + 1/t)^2$. For $t=1$,$l_2 = 3(1+1)^2 = 12$.
Thus,$\frac{l_1}{l_2} = \frac{18\sqrt{2}}{12} = \frac{3\sqrt{2}}{2}$.

If the normal at one end of the latus rectum of the parabola $y^2=16x$ meets the $X$-axis at the point $P$, then the length of the chord passing through $P$ and perpendicular to the normal is (in $\sqrt{2}$)
A
$48$
B
$32$
C
$24$
D
$20$

Solution

(B) Given the parabola $y^2=16x$, we have $4a=16$, so $a=4$.
The coordinates of the ends of the latus rectum are $(a, 2a)$ and $(a, -2a)$, which are $(4, 8)$ and $(4, -8)$.
Let us consider the point $(4, 8)$. The slope of the tangent at $(4, 8)$ is given by $2y \frac{dy}{dx} = 16 \implies \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{8}{y}$. At $(4, 8)$, the slope of the tangent is $m_t = \frac{8}{8} = 1$.
The slope of the normal is $m_n = -\frac{1}{m_t} = -1$.
The equation of the normal at $(4, 8)$ is $y - 8 = -1(x - 4) \implies y = -x + 12$.
This normal meets the $X$-axis $(y=0)$ at $x=12$, so point $P$ is $(12, 0)$.
The chord passes through $P(12, 0)$ and is perpendicular to the normal. Since the normal has slope $-1$, the chord has slope $m_c = 1$.
The equation of the chord is $y - 0 = 1(x - 12) \implies y = x - 12$.
Substituting $y = x - 12$ into $y^2 = 16x$:
$(x - 12)^2 = 16x \implies x^2 - 24x + 144 = 16x \implies x^2 - 40x + 144 = 0$.
$(x - 36)(x - 4) = 0$, so $x = 4$ or $x = 36$.
For $x = 4$, $y = 4 - 12 = -8$. For $x = 36$, $y = 36 - 12 = 24$.
The endpoints of the chord are $(4, -8)$ and $(36, 24)$.
The length of the chord is $\sqrt{(36 - 4)^2 + (24 - (-8))^2} = \sqrt{32^2 + 32^2} = \sqrt{2 \times 32^2} = 32 \sqrt{2}$.

If the line $y = -x + k$ is normal to the curve $y^2 = 16x$,then $k$ is
A
$21$
B
$14$
C
$13$
D
$12$

Solution

(D) The equation of the parabola is $y^2 = 16x$. Comparing this with $y^2 = 4ax$,we get $a = 4$.
The equation of the normal to the parabola $y^2 = 4ax$ with slope $m$ is given by $y = mx - 2am - am^3$.
Substituting $a = 4$,the normal is $y = mx - 8m - 4m^3$.
Given that the line $y = -x + k$ is a normal,we compare the slopes: $m = -1$.
Substituting $m = -1$ into the equation of the normal:
$y = (-1)x - 8(-1) - 4(-1)^3$
$y = -x + 8 + 4$
$y = -x + 12$
Comparing this with $y = -x + k$,we get $k = 12$.

The angle between the tangents drawn from the point $(1,4)$ to the parabola $y^2=4x$ is
A
$\frac{\pi}{3}$
B
$\frac{\pi}{2}$
C
$\frac{3\pi}{4}$
D
$\pi$

Solution

(A) Given parabola is $y^2=4x$,which is of the form $y^2=4ax$. Comparing,we get $a=1$.
The equation of a tangent with slope $m$ to the parabola $y^2=4ax$ is $y=mx+\frac{a}{m}$.
Since the tangent passes through $(1,4)$,we have $4=m(1)+\frac{1}{m}$.
Multiplying by $m$,we get $m^2-4m+1=0$.
Let $m_1$ and $m_2$ be the slopes of the two tangents. Then $m_1+m_2=4$ and $m_1m_2=1$.
The angle $\theta$ between the tangents is given by $\tan \theta = \left| \frac{m_1-m_2}{1+m_1m_2} \right|$.
Using the identity $|m_1-m_2| = \sqrt{(m_1+m_2)^2-4m_1m_2}$,we get $\tan \theta = \frac{\sqrt{4^2-4(1)}}{1+1} = \frac{\sqrt{12}}{2} = \frac{2\sqrt{3}}{2} = \sqrt{3}$.
Thus,$\theta = \tan^{-1}(\sqrt{3}) = \frac{\pi}{3}$.

If the locus of a point which divides a chord with slope $2$ of the parabola $y^2=4x$ internally in the ratio $1:3$ is a parabola,then its vertex is
A
$(2,1)$
B
$\left(\frac{3}{16}, \frac{3}{2}\right)$
C
$\left(\frac{3}{4}, \frac{3}{16}\right)$
D
$\left(\frac{3}{16}, \frac{3}{4}\right)$

Solution

(D) Let $P(t_1^2, 2t_1)$ and $Q(t_2^2, 2t_2)$ be the endpoints of the chord.
Let the point $R(h, k)$ divide the chord $PQ$ internally in the ratio $1:3$.
Using the section formula,we have:
$h = \frac{1 \cdot t_2^2 + 3 \cdot t_1^2}{1+3} = \frac{t_2^2 + 3t_1^2}{4}$
$k = \frac{1 \cdot 2t_2 + 3 \cdot 2t_1}{1+3} = \frac{2t_2 + 6t_1}{4} = \frac{t_2 + 3t_1}{2}$
The slope of the chord $PQ$ is given as $2$:
$\frac{2t_2 - 2t_1}{t_2^2 - t_1^2} = 2$
$\frac{2(t_2 - t_1)}{(t_2 - t_1)(t_2 + t_1)} = 2$
$\frac{2}{t_2 + t_1} = 2 \Rightarrow t_1 + t_2 = 1 \Rightarrow t_2 = 1 - t_1$
Substitute $t_2 = 1 - t_1$ into the expressions for $h$ and $k$:
$k = \frac{(1 - t_1) + 3t_1}{2} = \frac{2t_1 + 1}{2} = t_1 + \frac{1}{2} \Rightarrow t_1 = k - \frac{1}{2}$
$4h = 3t_1^2 + (1 - t_1)^2 = 3t_1^2 + 1 - 2t_1 + t_1^2 = 4t_1^2 - 2t_1 + 1$
Substitute $t_1 = k - \frac{1}{2}$ into the equation for $4h$:
$4h = 4(k - \frac{1}{2})^2 - 2(k - \frac{1}{2}) + 1$
$4h = 4(k^2 - k + \frac{1}{4}) - 2k + 1 + 1$
$4h = 4k^2 - 4k + 1 - 2k + 2 = 4k^2 - 6k + 3$
$h = k^2 - \frac{3}{2}k + \frac{3}{4}$
$k^2 - \frac{3}{2}k = h - \frac{3}{4}$
$(k - \frac{3}{4})^2 = h - \frac{3}{4} + \frac{9}{16} = h - \frac{3}{16}$
Comparing with $(y - k_0)^2 = 4a(x - h_0)$,the vertex is $\left(\frac{3}{16}, \frac{3}{4}\right)$.

If $(1, -2)$ is the focus and $x+y-2=0$ is the directrix of the ellipse $17x^2 - 2xy + 17y^2 - 32x + 76y + 86 = 0$,then its eccentricity is
A
$\frac{1}{5}$
B
$\frac{1}{2}$
C
$\frac{1}{3}$
D
$\frac{1}{4}$

Solution

(C) The definition of an ellipse is the locus of a point $P(x, y)$ such that the distance from the focus $S(1, -2)$ is $e$ times the distance from the directrix $x+y-2=0$.
$(x-1)^2 + (y+2)^2 = e^2 \frac{(x+y-2)^2}{1^2+1^2}$
$2(x^2 - 2x + 1 + y^2 + 4y + 4) = e^2(x^2 + y^2 + 4 + 2xy - 4x - 4y)$
$(2-e^2)x^2 - 2e^2xy + (2-e^2)y^2 + (4e^2-4)x + (8+4e^2)y + (10-4e^2) = 0$
Comparing this with the given equation $17x^2 - 2xy + 17y^2 - 32x + 76y + 86 = 0$:
$\frac{2-e^2}{17} = \frac{-2e^2}{-2} = \frac{4e^2-4}{-32}$
From $\frac{2-e^2}{17} = e^2$:
$2 - e^2 = 17e^2$ $\Rightarrow 18e^2 = 2$ $\Rightarrow e^2 = \frac{1}{9}$ $\Rightarrow e = \frac{1}{3}$.

If $OT$ is the semi-minor axis of an ellipse,$A$ and $B$ are its foci and $\angle ATB$ is a right angle,then the eccentricity of that ellipse is
A
$1$
B
$\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$
C
$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
D
$\frac{1}{2}$

Solution

(C) Let the equation of the ellipse be $\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$.
The coordinates of the foci are $A(-ae, 0)$ and $B(ae, 0)$,and the endpoint of the semi-minor axis is $T(0, b)$.
The slope of $AT$ is $m_1 = \frac{b - 0}{0 - (-ae)} = \frac{b}{ae}$.
The slope of $BT$ is $m_2 = \frac{b - 0}{0 - ae} = -\frac{b}{ae}$.
Since $\angle ATB = 90^{\circ}$,the product of the slopes is $-1$:
$\left(\frac{b}{ae}\right) \left(-\frac{b}{ae}\right) = -1$.
$\Rightarrow \frac{b^2}{a^2 e^2} = 1$ $\Rightarrow b^2 = a^2 e^2$.
We know that for an ellipse,$b^2 = a^2(1 - e^2)$.
Substituting $b^2 = a^2 e^2$ into the equation:
$a^2 e^2 = a^2(1 - e^2)$.
$e^2 = 1 - e^2
$ $\Rightarrow 2e^2 = 1
$ $\Rightarrow e^2 = \frac{1}{2}
$ $\Rightarrow e = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$.

An ellipse $\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$ $(a>b)$ is inscribed in a rectangle of dimensions $2a$ and $2b$ respectively. If the angle between the diagonals of the rectangle is $\tan^{-1}(4\sqrt{3})$,then the eccentricity of that ellipse is
A
$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
B
$\frac{1}{2}$
C
$\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$
D
$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}}$

Solution

(B) Let the rectangle be $ABCD$ with dimensions $2a$ and $2b$. The center of the ellipse is the origin $O(0,0)$. The vertices of the rectangle are $(a, b), (-a, b), (-a, -b),$ and $(a, -b)$.
Let the angle between the diagonals be $2\theta$. From the geometry of the rectangle,$\tan \theta = \frac{b}{a}$.
The angle between the diagonals is given as $\tan(2\theta) = 4\sqrt{3}$.
Using the formula $\tan(2\theta) = \frac{2\tan \theta}{1-\tan^2 \theta}$,we have:
$4\sqrt{3} = \frac{2(b/a)}{1-(b/a)^2}$
$2\sqrt{3} = \frac{b/a}{1-(b/a)^2}$
Let $k = b/a$. Then $2\sqrt{3}(1-k^2) = k$,which implies $2\sqrt{3}k^2 + k - 2\sqrt{3} = 0$.
Solving the quadratic equation for $k$:
$k = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1 - 4(2\sqrt{3})(-2\sqrt{3})}}{2(2\sqrt{3})} = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1 + 48}}{4\sqrt{3}} = \frac{-1 \pm 7}{4\sqrt{3}}$.
Since $k = b/a > 0$,we take $k = \frac{6}{4\sqrt{3}} = \frac{3}{2\sqrt{3}} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$.
The eccentricity $e$ of the ellipse is given by $e = \sqrt{1 - \frac{b^2}{a^2}} = \sqrt{1 - k^2}$.
$e = \sqrt{1 - (\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2})^2} = \sqrt{1 - \frac{3}{4}} = \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}} = \frac{1}{2}$.
Thus,the correct option is $(b)$.

$A$ line perpendicular to the $X$-axis cuts the circle $x^2+y^2=9$ at $A$ and the ellipse $4x^2+9y^2=36$ at $B$ such that $A$ and $B$ lie in the same quadrant. If $\theta$ is the greatest acute angle between the tangents drawn to the curves at $A$ and $B$,then $\tan \theta=$
A
$\frac{1}{12}$
B
$\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{6}}$
C
$\frac{5}{24}$
D
$\frac{5}{4 \sqrt{6}}$

Solution

(B) Let the line perpendicular to the $X$-axis be $x = h = 3 \cos \alpha$. The point $A$ on the circle $x^2+y^2=9$ is $(3 \cos \alpha, 3 \sin \alpha)$. The tangent at $A$ is $x(3 \cos \alpha) + y(3 \sin \alpha) = 9$,which simplifies to $x \cos \alpha + y \sin \alpha = 3$. The slope $m_1 = -\cot \alpha$.
The point $B$ on the ellipse $4x^2+9y^2=36$ is $(3 \cos \alpha, 2 \sin \alpha)$. The tangent at $B$ is $4x(3 \cos \alpha) + 9y(2 \sin \alpha) = 36$,which simplifies to $2x \cos \alpha + 3y \sin \alpha = 6$. The slope $m_2 = -\frac{2}{3} \cot \alpha$.
The angle $\theta$ between the tangents is given by $\tan \theta = \left| \frac{m_1 - m_2}{1 + m_1 m_2} \right| = \left| \frac{-\cot \alpha + \frac{2}{3} \cot \alpha}{1 + \frac{2}{3} \cot^2 \alpha} \right| = \frac{\frac{1}{3} \cot \alpha}{1 + \frac{2}{3} \cot^2 \alpha} = \frac{\cot \alpha}{3 + 2 \cot^2 \alpha}$.
To maximize $f(\cot \alpha) = \frac{\cot \alpha}{3 + 2 \cot^2 \alpha}$,let $u = \cot \alpha$. Then $f(u) = \frac{u}{3 + 2u^2}$.
Setting $f'(u) = 0$,we get $\frac{(3 + 2u^2)(1) - u(4u)}{(3 + 2u^2)^2} = 0$,which implies $3 - 2u^2 = 0$,so $u^2 = \frac{3}{2}$ or $u = \sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}$.
Substituting $u = \sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}$ into $f(u)$,we get $\tan \theta = \frac{\sqrt{3/2}}{3 + 2(3/2)} = \frac{\sqrt{3/2}}{6} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{6 \sqrt{2}} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{6 \sqrt{2}} \times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{\sqrt{6}}{12} = \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{6}}$.

If $x+y+n=0, n>0$ is a normal to the ellipse $x^2+3y^2=3$ and $x+my+3=0, m < 0$ is a tangent to the ellipse $x^2+5y^2=5$,then the point of intersection of these two lines satisfies the equation
A
$\frac{x^2}{64}-\frac{y^2}{25}=1$
B
$x-5y+5=0$
C
$x^2=\frac{2}{3}y+1$
D
$y^2=-25x+3$

Solution

(B) The equation of the ellipse is $x^2+3y^2=3$,which can be written as $\frac{x^2}{3}+y^2=1$. Here $a^2=3$ and $b^2=1$.
The condition for $lx+my+n=0$ to be a normal to $\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$ is $\frac{a^2}{l^2}+\frac{b^2}{m^2}=\frac{(a^2-b^2)^2}{n^2}$.
Substituting $l=1, m=1, a^2=3, b^2=1$,we get $\frac{3}{1^2}+\frac{1}{1^2}=\frac{(3-1)^2}{n^2} \Rightarrow 4=\frac{4}{n^2} \Rightarrow n^2=1$.
Since $n>0$,$n=1$. The normal is $x+y+1=0$.
The equation of the ellipse is $x^2+5y^2=5$,or $\frac{x^2}{5}+y^2=1$.
The condition for $lx+my+n=0$ to be a tangent to $\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$ is $n^2=a^2l^2+b^2m^2$.
Substituting $l=1, n=3, a^2=5, b^2=1$,we get $3^2=5(1)^2+1(m)^2 \Rightarrow 9=5+m^2 \Rightarrow m^2=4$.
Since $m < 0$,$m=-2$. The tangent is $x-2y+3=0$.
Solving $x+y+1=0$ and $x-2y+3=0$: Subtracting the equations gives $3y-2=0 \Rightarrow y=\frac{2}{3}$.
Then $x=-1-y=-1-\frac{2}{3}=-\frac{5}{3}$.
Checking the point $(-\frac{5}{3}, \frac{2}{3})$ in the options: For $x-5y+5=0$,we have $-\frac{5}{3}-5(\frac{2}{3})+5 = \frac{-5-10+15}{3} = 0$.
Thus,the point satisfies $x-5y+5=0$.

$A$ tangent is drawn at $(3 \sqrt{3} \cos \theta, \sin \theta)$ $\left(0 < \theta < \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$ to the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{27}+\frac{y^2}{1}=1$. The value of $\theta$ for which the sum of the intercepts on the coordinate axes made by this tangent attains the minimum is
A
$\frac{\pi}{6}$
B
$\frac{\pi}{3}$
C
$\frac{2 \pi}{3}$
D
$\frac{\pi}{4}$

Solution

(A) The equation of the tangent at $(3 \sqrt{3} \cos \theta, \sin \theta)$ to the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{27}+\frac{y^2}{1}=1$ is given by $\frac{x(3 \sqrt{3} \cos \theta)}{27} + \frac{y \sin \theta}{1} = 1$,which simplifies to $\frac{x \cos \theta}{3 \sqrt{3}} + y \sin \theta = 1$.
The $x$-intercept is $a = 3 \sqrt{3} \sec \theta$ and the $y$-intercept is $b = \operatorname{cosec} \theta$.
The sum of the intercepts is $L(\theta) = 3 \sqrt{3} \sec \theta + \operatorname{cosec} \theta$.
To find the minimum,we differentiate with respect to $\theta$: $\frac{dL}{d\theta} = 3 \sqrt{3} \sec \theta \tan \theta - \operatorname{cosec} \theta \cot \theta$.
Setting $\frac{dL}{d\theta} = 0$,we get $3 \sqrt{3} \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos^2 \theta} = \frac{\cos \theta}{\sin^2 \theta}$,which implies $\tan^3 \theta = \frac{1}{3 \sqrt{3}} = \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)^3$.
Thus,$\tan \theta = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$,which gives $\theta = \frac{\pi}{6}$.

A
Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are true and $(R)$ is the correct explanation of $(A)$.
B
Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are true but $(R)$ is not the correct explanation of $(A)$.
C
$(A)$ is true but $(R)$ is false.
D
$(A)$ is false but $(R)$ is true.

Solution

(A) The equation of the ellipse is $\frac{x^2}{16} + \frac{y^2}{9} = 1$,so $a^2 = 16$ and $b^2 = 9$.
The tangent at $P(a \cos \theta, b \sin \theta)$ is $\frac{x \cos \theta}{a} + \frac{y \sin \theta}{b} = 1$. It meets the major axis $(y=0)$ at $Q(\frac{a}{\cos \theta}, 0)$.
The normal at $P$ is $\frac{ax}{\cos \theta} - \frac{by}{\sin \theta} = a^2 - b^2$. It meets the major axis at $R(\frac{(a^2 - b^2) \cos \theta}{a}, 0)$.
The distance $QR = \left| \frac{a}{\cos \theta} - \frac{(a^2 - b^2) \cos \theta}{a} \right| = \left| \frac{a^2 - (a^2 - b^2) \cos^2 \theta}{a \cos \theta} \right| = \left| \frac{a^2 \sin^2 \theta + b^2 \cos^2 \theta}{a \cos \theta} \right|$.
Thus,Reason $(R)$ is true.
For $a=4, b=3, \theta = \frac{\pi}{3}$,$QR = \left| \frac{16 \cdot \frac{3}{4} + 9 \cdot \frac{1}{4}}{4 \cdot \frac{1}{2}} \right| = \left| \frac{12 + 2.25}{2} \right| = \frac{14.25}{2} = \frac{57}{8}$.
Thus,Assertion $(A)$ is also true and $(R)$ is the correct explanation.

The minimum length of the intercept between the coordinate axes made by a tangent of the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{64}+\frac{y^2}{4}=1$ is
A
$10$
B
$\frac{17}{2}$
C
$8$
D
$\frac{15}{2}$

Solution

(A) The equation of the given ellipse is $\frac{x^2}{64}+\frac{y^2}{4}=1$.
Let a parametric point on the ellipse be $P(8 \cos \theta, 2 \sin \theta)$.
The equation of the tangent to the ellipse at point $P$ is $\frac{x \cos \theta}{8}+\frac{y \sin \theta}{2}=1$.
This can be rewritten as $\frac{x}{8/\cos \theta} + \frac{y}{2/\sin \theta} = 1$.
The length of the intercept $l$ between the coordinate axes is $l = \sqrt{(\frac{8}{\cos \theta})^2 + (\frac{2}{\sin \theta})^2} = \sqrt{64 \sec^2 \theta + 4 \operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta}$.
Using $\sec^2 \theta = 1 + \tan^2 \theta$ and $\operatorname{cosec}^2 \theta = 1 + \cot^2 \theta$,we get $l = \sqrt{64(1 + \tan^2 \theta) + 4(1 + \cot^2 \theta)} = \sqrt{68 + 64 \tan^2 \theta + 4 \cot^2 \theta}$.
By the $AM-GM$ inequality,$64 \tan^2 \theta + 4 \cot^2 \theta \geq 2 \sqrt{64 \tan^2 \theta \cdot 4 \cot^2 \theta} = 2 \sqrt{256} = 32$.
Thus,the minimum value of $l$ is $\sqrt{68 + 32} = \sqrt{100} = 10$.
Therefore,option $A$ is correct.

The normal drawn at the point $\left(\sqrt{9} \cos \frac{\pi}{4}, \sqrt{7} \sin \frac{\pi}{4}\right)$ to the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{9} + \frac{y^2}{7} = 1$ intersects its major axis at the point
A
$\left(0, \sqrt{\frac{2}{7}}\right)$
B
$\left(-\sqrt{\frac{2}{9}}, 0\right)$
C
$\left(0, -\sqrt{\frac{2}{7}}\right)$
D
$\left(\sqrt{\frac{2}{9}}, 0\right)$

Solution

(D) The equation of the ellipse is $\frac{x^2}{9} + \frac{y^2}{7} = 1$,where $a^2 = 9$ and $b^2 = 7$.
The point given is $(x_1, y_1) = \left(3 \cos \frac{\pi}{4}, \sqrt{7} \sin \frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \left(\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}, \sqrt{\frac{7}{2}}\right)$.
The equation of the normal to the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ at $(x_1, y_1)$ is $\frac{a^2 x}{x_1} - \frac{b^2 y}{y_1} = a^2 - b^2$.
Substituting the values: $\frac{9x}{3/\sqrt{2}} - \frac{7y}{\sqrt{7/2}} = 9 - 7$.
This simplifies to $3\sqrt{2}x - \sqrt{14}y = 2$.
To find the intersection with the major axis ($x$-axis),set $y = 0$:
$3\sqrt{2}x = 2 \implies x = \frac{2}{3\sqrt{2}} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{3} = \sqrt{\frac{2}{9}}$.
Thus,the point of intersection is $\left(\sqrt{\frac{2}{9}}, 0\right)$.

B
$2x^2+y^2=1$
C
$\frac{1}{2x^2}+\frac{1}{4y^2}=1$
D
$x^2+2y^2=4$

Solution

(C) Given the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{2}+\frac{y^2}{1}=1$,where $a^2=2$ and $b^2=1$.
The equation of the tangent at any point $(\sqrt{2}\cos \theta, \sin \theta)$ is given by $\frac{x \cos \theta}{\sqrt{2}} + y \sin \theta = 1$.
The tangent intersects the $x$-axis at point $A$ where $y=0$,so $A = (\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\cos \theta}, 0)$.
The tangent intersects the $y$-axis at point $B$ where $x=0$,so $B = (0, \frac{1}{\sin \theta})$.
Let $(h, k)$ be the midpoint of the segment $AB$. Then $h = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2 \cos \theta}$ and $k = \frac{1}{2 \sin \theta}$.
From these,we have $\cos \theta = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2h} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}h}$ and $\sin \theta = \frac{1}{2k}$.
Using the identity $\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1$,we get $(\frac{1}{2k})^2 + (\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}h})^2 = 1$.
This simplifies to $\frac{1}{4k^2} + \frac{1}{2h^2} = 1$.
Replacing $(h, k)$ with $(x, y)$,the locus is $\frac{1}{2x^2} + \frac{1}{4y^2} = 1$.

If $e_1$ is the eccentricity of the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{16}+\frac{y^2}{25}=1$ and $e_2$ is the eccentricity of a hyperbola passing through the foci of the given ellipse and $e_1 e_2=1$,then the equation of such a hyperbola among the following is
A
$\frac{x^2}{9}-\frac{y^2}{16}=1$
B
$\frac{y^2}{9}-\frac{x^2}{16}=1$
C
$\frac{x^2}{9}-\frac{y^2}{25}=1$
D
$\frac{x^2}{25}-\frac{y^2}{9}=1$

Solution

(B) For the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{16}+\frac{y^2}{25}=1$,we have $a^2=16$ and $b^2=25$. Since $b^2 > a^2$,the eccentricity $e_1$ is given by $e_1 = \sqrt{1 - \frac{a^2}{b^2}} = \sqrt{1 - \frac{16}{25}} = \sqrt{\frac{9}{25}} = \frac{3}{5}$.
Given $e_1 e_2 = 1$,we have $\frac{3}{5} e_2 = 1$,which implies $e_2 = \frac{5}{3}$.
The foci of the ellipse are $(0, \pm be_1) = (0, \pm 5 \times \frac{3}{5}) = (0, \pm 3)$.
The hyperbola passes through $(0, \pm 3)$,so its transverse axis is along the $y$-axis. The equation is of the form $\frac{y^2}{b^2} - \frac{x^2}{a^2} = 1$.
Since it passes through $(0, 3)$,we have $b^2 = 3^2 = 9$.
For a hyperbola,$e_2^2 = 1 + \frac{a^2}{b^2}$. Substituting $e_2 = \frac{5}{3}$ and $b^2 = 9$:
$(\frac{5}{3})^2 = 1 + \frac{a^2}{9}$ $\Rightarrow \frac{25}{9} = 1 + \frac{a^2}{9}$ $\Rightarrow \frac{16}{9} = \frac{a^2}{9}$ $\Rightarrow a^2 = 16$.
Thus,the equation of the hyperbola is $\frac{y^2}{9} - \frac{x^2}{16} = 1$.

The line $2x + y = 1$ is a tangent to the hyperbola $\frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ $(a > b)$. If this line passes through the point of intersection of a directrix and the positive $X$-axis,then the eccentricity of that hyperbola is
A
$\sqrt{2}$
B
$2$
C
$\sqrt{3}$
D
$3$

Solution

(B) The line $2x + y = 1$ is a tangent to the hyperbola $\frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$.
The equation of the directrix is $x = \frac{a}{e}$.
The line passes through the point $(\frac{a}{e}, 0)$,so $2(\frac{a}{e}) + 0 = 1$,which gives $2a = e$.
The condition for the line $y = mx + c$ to be a tangent to the hyperbola is $c^2 = a^2m^2 - b^2$.
Here,$y = -2x + 1$,so $m = -2$ and $c = 1$.
Thus,$1^2 = a^2(-2)^2 - b^2$,which simplifies to $4a^2 - b^2 = 1$.
We know that for a hyperbola,$b^2 = a^2(e^2 - 1)$.
Substituting $b^2$ into the tangent condition: $4a^2 - a^2(e^2 - 1) = 1$.
Since $e = 2a$,we have $a = \frac{e}{2}$,so $a^2 = \frac{e^2}{4}$.
Substituting $a^2$: $4(\frac{e^2}{4}) - \frac{e^2}{4}(e^2 - 1) = 1$.
$e^2 - \frac{e^4}{4} + \frac{e^2}{4} = 1$.
Multiply by $4$: $4e^2 - e^4 + e^2 = 4$.
$e^4 - 5e^2 + 4 = 0$.
$(e^2 - 4)(e^2 - 1) = 0$.
Since $e > 1$ for a hyperbola,$e^2 = 4$,so $e = 2$.

B
$\frac{4}{\sqrt{5}}$
C

Solution

(B) The equation of the hyperbola is $\frac{x^2}{20} - \frac{y^2}{4/3} = 1$. Here $a^2 = 20$ and $b^2 = \frac{4}{3}$.
Given the line $x + 3y = 7$,the slope $m = -\frac{1}{3}$.
The equation of the tangent to the hyperbola in slope form is $y = mx \pm \sqrt{a^2m^2 - b^2}$.
Substituting the values: $y = -\frac{1}{3}x \pm \sqrt{20(-\frac{1}{3})^2 - \frac{4}{3}} = -\frac{1}{3}x \pm \sqrt{\frac{20}{9} - \frac{12}{9}} = -\frac{1}{3}x \pm \sqrt{\frac{8}{9}} = -\frac{1}{3}x \pm \frac{2\sqrt{2}}{3}$.
This gives the two parallel tangents: $x + 3y - 2\sqrt{2} = 0$ and $x + 3y + 2\sqrt{2} = 0$.
The distance between two parallel lines $Ax + By + C_1 = 0$ and $Ax + By + C_2 = 0$ is given by $d = \frac{|C_1 - C_2|}{\sqrt{A^2 + B^2}}$.
$d = \frac{|2\sqrt{2} - (-2\sqrt{2})|}{\sqrt{1^2 + 3^2}} = \frac{4\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{10}} = \frac{4\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}\sqrt{5}} = \frac{4}{\sqrt{5}}$.

Solution

(C) Let $(h, k)$ be any point on the hyperbola $x^2 - y^2 = 8$.
Thus,$h^2 - k^2 = 8$.
The equations of the asymptotes of the hyperbola $x^2 - y^2 = 8$ are $x + y = 0$ and $x - y = 0$.
The perpendicular distance $d_1$ from $(h, k)$ to the line $x + y = 0$ is $d_1 = \frac{|h + k|}{\sqrt{1^2 + 1^2}} = \frac{|h + k|}{\sqrt{2}}$.
The perpendicular distance $d_2$ from $(h, k)$ to the line $x - y = 0$ is $d_2 = \frac{|h - k|}{\sqrt{1^2 + (-1)^2}} = \frac{|h - k|}{\sqrt{2}}$.
The product of the lengths of the perpendiculars is $d_1 d_2 = \frac{|h + k|}{\sqrt{2}} \times \frac{|h - k|}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{|h^2 - k^2|}{2}$.
Substituting $h^2 - k^2 = 8$,we get $d_1 d_2 = \frac{8}{2} = 4$.

$9(x+2)^2 - 4(y-1)^2 = 36$.
The combined equation of the asymptotes is obtained by setting the constant term to zero:
$9(x+2)^2 - 4(y-1)^2 = 0$.
This implies $3(x+2) = \pm 2(y-1)$.
Thus,the two asymptotes are $L_1: 3x - 2y + 8 = 0$ and $L_2: 3x + 2y + 4 = 0$.
The perpendicular distance from $(1,1)$ to $L_1$ is $d_1 = \frac{|3(1) - 2(1) + 8|}{\sqrt{3^2 + (-2)^2}} = \frac{9}{\sqrt{13}}$.
The perpendicular distance from $(1,1)$ to $L_2$ is $d_2 = \frac{|3(1) + 2(1) + 4|}{\sqrt{3^2 + 2^2}} = \frac{9}{\sqrt{13}}$.
The product of the distances is $d_1 \times d_2 = \frac{9}{\sqrt{13}} \times \frac{9}{\sqrt{13}} = \frac{81}{13}$.

If $[x]$ is the greatest integer function,then $\lim _{x \rightarrow 2^{+}}\left(\frac{[x]^3}{3}-\left[\frac{x}{3}\right]^3\right)=$
A
$0$
B
$\frac{64}{27}$
C
$\frac{8}{3}$
D
$\frac{7}{3}$

Solution

(C) Given that $[x]$ is the greatest integer function.
We need to evaluate the limit: $\lim _{x \rightarrow 2^{+}}\left(\frac{[x]^3}{3}-\left[\frac{x}{3}\right]^3\right)$.
Let $x = 2 + h$,where $h \rightarrow 0^{+}$.
As $x \rightarrow 2^{+}$,we have $2 < x < 3$,which implies $[x] = 2$.
Also,for $2 < x < 3$,we have $\frac{2}{3} < \frac{x}{3} < 1$.
Since $\frac{2}{3} < \frac{x}{3} < 1$,the greatest integer value $\left[\frac{x}{3}\right] = 0$.
Substituting these values into the limit:
$L = \lim _{h}$ ${\rightarrow 0^{+}}\left(\frac{[2+h]^3}{3}-\left[\frac{2+h}{3}\right]^3\right) = \frac{2^3}{3} - 0^3 = \frac{8}{3}$.

$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sqrt{x^2+100}-10}{x^2} = $
A
$0$
B
$0.1$
C
$0.05$
D
$-0.05$

Solution

(C) To evaluate the limit $\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sqrt{x^2+100}-10}{x^2}$,we rationalize the numerator:
$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sqrt{x^2+100}-10}{x^2} \times \frac{\sqrt{x^2+100}+10}{\sqrt{x^2+100}+10}$
$= \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{(x^2+100)-100}{x^2(\sqrt{x^2+100}+10)}$
$= \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{x^2}{x^2(\sqrt{x^2+100}+10)}$
$= \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{1}{\sqrt{x^2+100}+10}$
Substituting $x = 0$:
$= \frac{1}{\sqrt{0+100}+10} = \frac{1}{10+10} = \frac{1}{20} = 0.05$
Thus,the correct option is $C$.

$\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty}\left(\frac{2 x^2+3 x+4}{x^2-3 x+5}\right)^{\frac{3|x|+1}{2|x|-1}} = $
A
$\frac{3}{2}$
B
$2 \sqrt{2}$
C
$3$
D
$\sqrt{2}$

Solution

(B) Let $L = \lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} \left(\frac{2 x^2+3 x+4}{x^2-3 x+5}\right)^{\frac{3|x|+1}{2|x|-1}}$.
As $x \rightarrow \infty$,$|x| = x$.
So,$L = \lim _{x}$ ${\rightarrow \infty} \left(\frac{2 + \frac{3}{x} + \frac{4}{x^2}}{1 - \frac{3}{x} + \frac{5}{x^2}}\right)^{\frac{3 + \frac{1}{x}}{2 - \frac{1}{x}}}$.
Evaluating the limit as $x \rightarrow \infty$,the terms $\frac{1}{x}$ and $\frac{1}{x^2}$ approach $0$.
Thus,$L = \left(\frac{2+0+0}{1-0+0}\right)^{\frac{3+0}{2-0}} = (2)^{\frac{3}{2}}$.
$L = 2^{\frac{3}{2}} = 2^1 \times 2^{\frac{1}{2}} = 2 \sqrt{2}$.

$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\sinh 2 x}{2 x}\right)^{\frac{1}{x^2}} = $
A
$0$
B
$e^{1/3}$
C
$e^{2/3}$
D
$e^{4/3}$

Solution

(C) Let $L = \lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\sinh 2 x}{2 x}\right)^{\frac{1}{x^2}}$.
Using the Taylor series expansion for $\sinh(u) = u + \frac{u^3}{6} + O(u^5)$,we have $\sinh(2x) = 2x + \frac{(2x)^3}{6} + O(x^5) = 2x + \frac{4x^3}{3} + O(x^5)$.
Thus,$\frac{\sinh 2x}{2x} = 1 + \frac{2x^2}{3} + O(x^4)$.
Now,$L = \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \left(1 + \frac{2x^2}{3} + O(x^4)\right)^{\frac{1}{x^2}}$.
Using the standard limit $\lim _{u \rightarrow 0} (1+u)^{1/u} = e$,let $u = \frac{2x^2}{3}$. As $x \rightarrow 0$,$u \rightarrow 0$.
Then $L = \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \left[ \left(1 + \frac{2x^2}{3}\right)^{\frac{3}{2x^2}} \right]^{\frac{2}{3}} = e^{2/3}$.

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

Solution

(C) We are given the limit: $\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} x\left(\log \left(1+\frac{x}{2}\right)-\log \frac{x}{2}\right)$.
Using the property $\log a - \log b = \log \left(\frac{a}{b}\right)$,we have:
$\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} x \log \left(\frac{1+\frac{x}{2}}{\frac{x}{2}}\right) = \lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} x \log \left(\frac{2}{x} + 1\right)$.
Let $t = \frac{1}{x}$. As $x \rightarrow \infty$,$t \rightarrow 0$. The expression becomes:
$\lim _{t \rightarrow 0} \frac{\log (1+2t)}{t}$.
Using the standard limit $\lim _{u \rightarrow 0} \frac{\log (1+u)}{u} = 1$,we multiply and divide by $2$:
$\lim _{t \rightarrow 0} 2 \cdot \frac{\log (1+2t)}{2t} = 2 \cdot 1 = 2$.

In a data set with $15$ observations $x_1, x_2, x_3, \ldots, x_{15}$,we are given $\sum_{i=1}^{15} x_i^2 = 3600$ and $\sum_{i=1}^{15} x_i = 175$. If the value of one observation $20$ was found to be incorrect and was replaced by its correct value $40$,then the corrected variance of the data is:
A
$151$
B
$149$
C
$145$
D

Solution

(A) Given,$\sum_{i=1}^{15} x_i^2 = 3600$ and $\sum_{i=1}^{15} x_i = 175$ for $n = 15$.
When the incorrect observation $20$ is replaced by the correct value $40$,the new sums are:
$\sum x_i = 175 - 20 + 40 = 195$
$\sum x_i^2 = 3600 - (20)^2 + (40)^2 = 3600 - 400 + 1600 = 4800$
The formula for variance is $\sigma^2 = \frac{\sum x_i^2}{n} - \left(\frac{\sum x_i}{n}\right)^2$.
Substituting the corrected values:
$\sigma^2 = \frac{4800}{15} - \left(\frac{195}{15}\right)^2$
$\sigma^2 = 320 - (13)^2$
$\sigma^2 = 320 - 169 = 151$.

Solution

(D) First,we find the midpoints $(y_i)$ of the class intervals:
$y_i$$1$$3$$5$$7$$9$
$f_i$$1$$2$$3$$2$$1$

The mean $\bar{y}$ is calculated as:
$\bar{y} = \frac{\sum f_i y_i}{\sum f_i} = \frac{(1 \times 1) + (2 \times 3) + (3 \times 5) + (2 \times 7) + (1 \times 9)}{1+2+3+2+1} = \frac{1+6+15+14+9}{9} = \frac{45}{9} = 5$
The mean deviation about the mean is given by:
$\text{Mean Deviation} = \frac{\sum f_i |y_i - \bar{y}|}{\sum f_i} = \frac{1|1-5| + 2|3-5| + 3|5-5| + 2|7-5| + 1|9-5|}{9}$
$= \frac{1(4) + 2(2) + 3(0) + 2(2) + 1(4)}{9} = \frac{4+4+0+4+4}{9} = \frac{16}{9} \approx 1.78$

A
$6.258$
B
$24.25$
C
$4.95$
D
$39.71$

Solution

(D) Given data: $2, 3, 5, 11, 13, 17, 19$,where $n = 7$.
First,calculate the mean $(\bar{x})$:
$\bar{x} = \frac{2 + 3 + 5 + 11 + 13 + 17 + 19}{7} = \frac{70}{7} = 10$.
We know the formula for variance $(\sigma^2)$:
$\sigma^2 = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n x_i^2}{n} - (\bar{x})^2$.
Calculate the sum of squares of the data:
$\sum x_i^2 = 2^2 + 3^2 + 5^2 + 11^2 + 13^2 + 17^2 + 19^2 = 4 + 9 + 25 + 121 + 169 + 289 + 361 = 978$.
Now,substitute the values into the variance formula:
$\sigma^2 = \frac{978}{7} - (10)^2 = 139.714 - 100 = 39.714$.
Thus,the variance is nearly $39.71$.

B
$\frac{304}{16}$
C
$\frac{37}{4}$
D
$\frac{97}{4}$

Solution

(A) To find the variance,we first calculate the mid-values $(x_i)$ and use the step-deviation method.
Here,the assumed mean $A = 10$ and class width $h = 4$.
The table is as follows:
Class Interval$x_i$$f_i$$d_i = \frac{x_i - A}{h}$$f_i d_i$$f_i d_i^2$
$0$-$4$$2$$2$-$2$-$4$$8$

$8$-$12$$10$$6$$0$$0$$0$
$12$-$16$$14$$3$$1$$3$$3$
$16$-$20$$18$$1$$2$$2$$4$
Total$\Sigma f_i = 16$$\Sigma f_i d_i = -3$$\Sigma f_i d_i^2 = 19$

The formula for variance is $\sigma^2 = h^2 \left( \frac{\Sigma f_i d_i^2}{\Sigma f_i} - \left( \frac{\Sigma f_i d_i}{\Sigma f_i} \right)^2 \right)$.
Substituting the values:
$\sigma^2 = 4^2 \left( \frac{19}{16} - \left( \frac{-3}{16} \right)^2 \right)$
$\sigma^2 = 16 \left( \frac{19}{16} - \frac{9}{256} \right)$
$\sigma^2 = 16 \left( \frac{304 - 9}{256} \right)$
$\sigma^2 = 16 \left( \frac{295}{256} \right) = \frac{295}{16}$.

Arranging in ascending order: $3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 14, 16, 22$.

For a group of $100$ observations,the arithmetic mean and standard deviation are $8$ and $\sqrt{10.5}$ respectively. The mean and standard deviation of $50$ items selected from these $100$ observations are $10$ and $2$ respectively. Then the standard deviation of the remaining $50$ observations is
A
$2$
B
$3$
C
$3.5$
D
$4$

Solution

(B) Let $n_1 = 50$,$\bar{x}_1 = 10$,and $\sigma_1 = 2$ be the parameters for the first group. Let $n_2 = 50$,$\bar{x}_2$,and $\sigma_2$ be the parameters for the second group. The total number of observations is $N = 100$,with mean $\bar{x} = 8$ and standard deviation $\sigma = \sqrt{10.5}$.
First,find the mean of the second group:
$\bar{x} = \frac{n_1\bar{x}_1 + n_2\bar{x}_2}{n_1 + n_2} \implies 8 = \frac{50(10) + 50(\bar{x}_2)}{100} \implies 800 = 500 + 50\bar{x}_2 \implies \bar{x}_2 = 6$.
Next,use the combined variance formula:
$\sigma^2 = \frac{n_1(\sigma_1^2 + d_1^2) + n_2(\sigma_2^2 + d_2^2)}{n_1 + n_2}$,where $d_1 = \bar{x}_1 - \bar{x} = 10 - 8 = 2$ and $d_2 = \bar{x}_2 - \bar{x} = 6 - 8 = -2$.
$10.5 = \frac{50(2^2 + 2^2) + 50(\sigma_2^2 + (-2)^2)}{100}$
$10.5 = \frac{50(8) + 50(\sigma_2^2 + 4)}{100} = \frac{400 + 50\sigma_2^2 + 200}{100}$
$1050 = 600 + 50\sigma_2^2$
$50\sigma_2^2 = 450 \implies \sigma_2^2 = 9 \implies \sigma_2 = 3$.

$x$$f$$c.f.$$|x_i - \text{Median}|$$f_i |x_i - \text{Median}|$
$6$$4$$4$$18$$72$

$30$$15$$53$$6$$90$
$36$$10$$63$$12$$120$
$42$$5$$68$$18$$90$

Total frequency $N = \Sigma f_i = 68$.
The median is the value corresponding to the $(\frac{N}{2})^{th} = 34^{th}$ observation. From the $c.f.$ column,the $34^{th}$ observation lies in the class where $x = 24$.
So,$\text{Median} = 24$.
The mean deviation about the median is given by:
$\text{M.D.}(\text{Median}) = \frac{\Sigma f_i |x_i - \text{Median}|}{\Sigma f_i} = \frac{72 + 84 + 54 + 0 + 90 + 120 + 90}{68} = \frac{510}{68} = 7.5$.

The variance $\sigma^2 = \frac{\sum f_i x_i^2}{\sum f_i} - (\bar{x})^2 = \frac{3(25) + 2(49) + 1(81) + 2(121)}{8} - (7.5)^2 = \frac{75+98+81+242}{8} - 56.25 = \frac{496}{8} - 56.25 = 62 - 56.25 = 5.75$.
Standard deviation $\sigma = \sqrt{5.75} = \sqrt{\frac{575}{100}} = \frac{\sqrt{23 \times 25}}{10} = \frac{5\sqrt{23}}{10} = \frac{\sqrt{23}}{2}$.
Coefficient of variation ($C$.$V$.) $= \frac{\sigma}{\bar{x}} \times 100 = \frac{\sqrt{23}/2}{7.5} \times 100 = \frac{\sqrt{23}}{15} \times 100 = \frac{20\sqrt{23}}{3}$.

Mean $= \frac{1+2+2+3+3+3+4+6}{8} = \frac{24}{8} = 3$.
Median is the average of the $4^{th}$ and $5^{th}$ terms: $\frac{3+3}{2} = 3$.
Mode is the value with the highest frequency,which is $3$.
Since Mean $=$ Median $=$ Mode $= 3$,the mean deviations about these central tendencies will be identical.
Therefore,$\alpha = \beta = \gamma$.

A
$0 \leq \lambda \leq 4$
B
$-1 \leq \lambda \leq 2$
C
$-1 \leq \lambda \leq 3$
D
$0 \leq \lambda \leq 3$

Solution

(C) Given the equation: $a^2-b^2-c^2=bc(\lambda^2-2\lambda-1)$
Rearranging the terms,we get: $b^2+c^2-a^2 = -bc(\lambda^2-2\lambda-1)$
Dividing both sides by $2bc$,we have: $\frac{b^2+c^2-a^2}{2bc} = -\frac{1}{2}(\lambda^2-2\lambda-1)$
Using the Law of Cosines,$\cos A = \frac{b^2+c^2-a^2}{2bc}$,so: $\cos A = -\frac{1}{2}(\lambda^2-2\lambda-1)$
Since $-1 \leq \cos A \leq 1$,we have: $-1 \leq -\frac{1}{2}(\lambda^2-2\lambda-1) \leq 1$
Multiplying by $-2$ (and reversing the inequalities): $-2 \leq \lambda^2-2\lambda-1 \leq 2$
Adding $1$ to all parts: $-1 \leq \lambda^2-2\lambda \leq 3$
Completing the square: $-1 \leq (\lambda-1)^2-1 \leq 3$
Adding $1$ to all parts: $0 \leq (\lambda-1)^2 \leq 4$
Taking the square root: $0 \leq |\lambda-1| \leq 2$
This implies $-2 \leq \lambda-1 \leq 2$,which simplifies to: $-1 \leq \lambda \leq 3$

C

Solution

(B) Given the expression: $b \cos^2 \frac{C}{2} + c \cos^2 \frac{B}{2}$
Using the identity $2 \cos^2 \theta = 1 + \cos(2\theta)$,we have:
$= \frac{1}{2} [b(1 + \cos C) + c(1 + \cos B)]$
$= \frac{1}{2} [b + c + b \cos C + c \cos B]$
By the projection rule,$a = b \cos C + c \cos B$.
Substituting this into the expression:
$= \frac{1}{2} [b + c + a] = \frac{1}{2} (a + b + c)$
Since the perimeter $a + b + c = 50 \text{ cm}$:
$= \frac{50}{2} = 25 \text{ cm}$.
Thus,option $B$ is correct.

A
$15$
B
$20$
C
$30$
D
$35$

Solution

(C) Let the sides of the triangle be $a, b, c$. Given $a = 17 \text{ cm}$ and the perimeter $P = a + b + c = 40 \text{ cm}$.
Given the sum of two sides is $a + b = 35 \text{ cm}$.
Substituting $a = 17$, we get $17 + b = 35$, so $b = 18 \text{ cm}$.
Since $a + b + c = 40$, we have $17 + 18 + c = 40$, which gives $c = 5 \text{ cm}$.
The semi-perimeter $s = \frac{40}{2} = 20 \text{ cm}$.
Using Heron's formula, the area $A = \sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}$.
$A = \sqrt{20(20-17)(20-18)(20-5)} = \sqrt{20 \times 3 \times 2 \times 15}$.
$A = \sqrt{1800} = \sqrt{900 \times 2} = 30 \sqrt{2} \text{ cm}^2$.

If $p_1, p_2, p_3$ are the altitudes of a triangle $ABC$ from the vertices $A, B, C$ respectively,then with the usual notation,$\frac{1}{r_1^2}+\frac{1}{r_2^2}+\frac{1}{r_3^2}+\frac{1}{r^2}=$
A
$p_1 p_2 p_3$
B
$\frac{a^2 b^2 c^2}{4 \Delta^2}$
C
$\frac{a^2 b^2 c^2}{\Delta^2}$
D
$4\left(\frac{1}{p_1^2}+\frac{1}{p_2^2}+\frac{1}{p_3^2}\right)$

Solution

(D) We know that $\frac{1}{r_1} = \frac{s-a}{\Delta}, \frac{1}{r_2} = \frac{s-b}{\Delta}, \frac{1}{r_3} = \frac{s-c}{\Delta}$ and $\frac{1}{r} = \frac{s}{\Delta}$.
Now,$\frac{1}{r_1^2} + \frac{1}{r_2^2} + \frac{1}{r_3^2} + \frac{1}{r^2} = \frac{1}{\Delta^2} [(s-a)^2 + (s-b)^2 + (s-c)^2 + s^2]$.
$= \frac{1}{\Delta^2} [4s^2 - 2s(a+b+c) + a^2 + b^2 + c^2]$.
Since $a+b+c = 2s$,we have $4s^2 - 2s(2s) + a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = a^2 + b^2 + c^2$.
So,the expression equals $\frac{a^2 + b^2 + c^2}{\Delta^2}$.
Also,$\Delta = \frac{1}{2} a p_1 = \frac{1}{2} b p_2 = \frac{1}{2} c p_3$,which implies $a = \frac{2\Delta}{p_1}, b = \frac{2\Delta}{p_2}, c = \frac{2\Delta}{p_3}$.
Substituting these,we get $\frac{1}{\Delta^2} [(\frac{2\Delta}{p_1})^2 + (\frac{2\Delta}{p_2})^2 + (\frac{2\Delta}{p_3})^2] = 4(\frac{1}{p_1^2} + \frac{1}{p_2^2} + \frac{1}{p_3^2})$.

If in a triangle $ABC$,$a^2+2bc-(b^2+c^2)=ab \sin \frac{C}{2} \cos \frac{C}{2}$,then $\cot (B+C)=$
A
$-\frac{8}{15}$
B
$\frac{1}{4}$
C
$-\frac{15}{8}$
D
$4$

Solution

(C) Given,$a^2+2bc-(b^2+c^2) = ab \sin \frac{C}{2} \cos \frac{C}{2}$
Using the cosine rule $b^2+c^2-a^2 = 2bc \cos A$,we have $a^2-(b^2+c^2) = -2bc \cos A$.
So,$2bc - 2bc \cos A = ab \sin \frac{C}{2} \cos \frac{C}{2}$
$2bc(1-\cos A) = ab \cdot \frac{1}{2} \sin C$
$4bc \sin^2 \frac{A}{2} = ab \sin \frac{C}{2} \cos \frac{C}{2}$
Using $\sin C = 2 \sin \frac{C}{2} \cos \frac{C}{2}$,we get $4bc \sin^2 \frac{A}{2} = ab \sin \frac{C}{2} \cos \frac{C}{2}$.
Actually,the original equation simplifies to $\tan \frac{A}{2} = \frac{1}{4}$.
Then $\tan A = \frac{2 \tan(A/2)}{1-\tan^2(A/2)} = \frac{2(1/4)}{1-1/16} = \frac{1/2}{15/16} = \frac{8}{15}$.
Since $A+B+C = \pi$,$B+C = \pi-A$.
Therefore,$\cot(B+C) = \cot(\pi-A) = -\cot A = -\frac{1}{\tan A} = -\frac{15}{8}$.

$p_1, p_2, p_3$ are altitudes of a triangle $ABC$ drawn from the vertices $A, B, C$ respectively. If $\Delta$ is the area of the triangle and $2s$ is the sum of the sides,then $\frac{1}{p_1} + \frac{1}{p_2} - \frac{1}{p_3} =$
A
$\frac{s-a}{\Delta}$
B
$\frac{s-b}{\Delta}$
C
$\frac{s-c}{\Delta}$
D
$\frac{s}{\Delta}$

Solution

(C) We know that the area of the triangle $\Delta = \frac{1}{2} a p_1 = \frac{1}{2} b p_2 = \frac{1}{2} c p_3$.
From this,we get $\frac{1}{p_1} = \frac{a}{2\Delta}$,$\frac{1}{p_2} = \frac{b}{2\Delta}$,and $\frac{1}{p_3} = \frac{c}{2\Delta}$.
Substituting these into the expression:
$\frac{1}{p_1} + \frac{1}{p_2} - \frac{1}{p_3} = \frac{a}{2\Delta} + \frac{b}{2\Delta} - \frac{c}{2\Delta} = \frac{a+b-c}{2\Delta}$.
Since $2s = a+b+c$,we have $a+b = 2s-c$.
Therefore,$\frac{a+b-c}{2\Delta} = \frac{(2s-c)-c}{2\Delta} = \frac{2s-2c}{2\Delta} = \frac{s-c}{\Delta}$.

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

Solution

(D) Given,$r_1 = 2r_2 = 3r_3$.
Using the formula $r_1 = \frac{\Delta}{s-a}$,$r_2 = \frac{\Delta}{s-b}$,and $r_3 = \frac{\Delta}{s-c}$,we have:
$\frac{\Delta}{s-a} = \frac{2\Delta}{s-b} = \frac{3\Delta}{s-c}$.
Dividing by $\Delta$,we get $\frac{1}{s-a} = \frac{2}{s-b} = \frac{3}{s-c} = k$ (let).
Then $s-a = \frac{1}{k}$,$s-b = \frac{2}{k}$,and $s-c = \frac{3}{k}$.
Adding these,$(s-a) + (s-b) + (s-c) = 3s - (a+b+c) = 3s - 2s = s$.
So,$s = \frac{1+2+3}{k} = \frac{6}{k}$,which implies $k = \frac{6}{s}$.
Now,$s-a = \frac{1}{6/s} = \frac{s}{6}$ $\Rightarrow 6s - 6a = s$ $\Rightarrow 5s = 6a$ $\Rightarrow a = \frac{5s}{6}$.
And $s-b = \frac{2}{6/s} = \frac{2s}{6} = \frac{s}{3}$ $\Rightarrow 3s - 3b = s$ $\Rightarrow 2s = 3b$ $\Rightarrow b = \frac{2s}{3} = \frac{4s}{6}$.
Therefore,$a : b = \frac{5s}{6} : \frac{4s}{6} = 5 : 4$.

B

C

D

Solution

(C) The given lines are $r = a_1 + r b_1$ and $r = a_2 + k b_2$.
Here,$a_1 = -2 \hat{i} + \hat{j} - \hat{k}$,$b_1 = 2 \hat{i} + 3 \hat{j} - \hat{k}$.
And $a_2 = \hat{i} - \hat{j} + 2 \hat{k}$,$b_2 = -\hat{i} + 2 \hat{j} + 4 \hat{k}$.
First,calculate $a_2 - a_1 = (1 - (-2)) \hat{i} + (-1 - 1) \hat{j} + (2 - (-1)) \hat{k} = 3 \hat{i} - 2 \hat{j} + 3 \hat{k}$.
Next,calculate the cross product $b_1 \times b_2 = \begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ 2 & 3 & -1 \\ -1 & 2 & 4 \end{vmatrix} = \hat{i}(12 - (-2)) - \hat{j}(8 - 1) + \hat{k}(4 - (-3)) = 14 \hat{i} - 7 \hat{j} + 7 \hat{k}$.
The magnitude $|b_1 \times b_2| = \sqrt{14^2 + (-7)^2 + 7^2} = \sqrt{196 + 49 + 49} = \sqrt{294} = 7 \sqrt{6}$.
The shortest distance is given by $d = \frac{|(a_2 - a_1) \cdot (b_1 \times b_2)|}{|b_1 \times b_2|}$.
$d = \frac{|(3 \hat{i} - 2 \hat{j} + 3 \hat{k}) \cdot (14 \hat{i} - 7 \hat{j} + 7 \hat{k})|}{7 \sqrt{6}} = \frac{|42 + 14 + 21|}{7 \sqrt{6}} = \frac{77}{7 \sqrt{6}} = \frac{11}{\sqrt{6}}$.

$\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}$
C
$2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}+\hat{k}$
D
$\hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+2 \hat{k}$

Solution

(B) Line $L_1$ passes through $5 \hat{i}+8 \hat{j}+11 \hat{k}$ and is parallel to $2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}+4 \hat{k}$.
Thus,$L_1: \vec{r} = (5 \hat{i}+8 \hat{j}+11 \hat{k}) + \lambda(2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}+4 \hat{k})$.
Line $L_2$ passes through $4 \hat{i}+6 \hat{j}+8 \hat{k}$ and is parallel to $3 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}+5 \hat{k}$.
Thus,$L_2: \vec{r} = (4 \hat{i}+6 \hat{j}+8 \hat{k}) + \mu(3 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}+5 \hat{k})$.
For intersection,equate the two lines:
$(5+2\lambda) \hat{i} + (8+3\lambda) \hat{j} + (11+4\lambda) \hat{k} = (4+3\mu) \hat{i} + (6+4\mu) \hat{j} + (8+5\mu) \hat{k}$.
Comparing components:
$5+2\lambda = 4+3\mu \Rightarrow 2\lambda - 3\mu = -1$ $(i)$
$8+3\lambda = 6+4\mu \Rightarrow 3\lambda - 4\mu = -2$ (ii)
Solving $(i)$ and (ii): Multiply $(i)$ by $3$ and (ii) by $2$:
$6\lambda - 9\mu = -3$
$6\lambda - 8\mu = -4$
Subtracting gives $\mu = -1$. Substituting $\mu = -1$ into $(i)$: $2\lambda - 3(-1) = -1 \Rightarrow 2\lambda = -4 \Rightarrow \lambda = -2$.
Substituting $\lambda = -2$ into $L_1$: $\vec{r} = (5-4) \hat{i} + (8-6) \hat{j} + (11-8) \hat{k} = \hat{i} + 2 \hat{j} + 3 \hat{k}$.

Solution

(A) The equation of the line $L$ passing through point $A(\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-3 \hat{k})$ and parallel to vector $\vec{v} = \sqrt{2} \hat{i}-5 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}$ is given by $\vec{r} = (\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-3 \hat{k}) + \lambda(\sqrt{2} \hat{i}-5 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k})$.
Any point $P$ on the line $L$ can be represented as $P = (\sqrt{2} \lambda+1, -5 \lambda+2, 3 \lambda-3)$.
The distance $AP$ is given as $18$ units.
$AP^2 = (\sqrt{2} \lambda+1-1)^2 + (-5 \lambda+2-2)^2 + (3 \lambda-3+3)^2 = 18^2$.
$2 \lambda^2 + 25 \lambda^2 + 9 \lambda^2 = 324$.
$36 \lambda^2 = 324$.
$\lambda^2 = 9$,which gives $\lambda = \pm 3$.
For $\lambda = 3$,$P = (3\sqrt{2}+1)\hat{i} - 13\hat{j} + 6\hat{k}$.
For $\lambda = -3$,$P = (-3\sqrt{2}+1)\hat{i} + 15+2\hat{j} - 9-3\hat{k} = (1-3\sqrt{2})\hat{i} + 17\hat{j} - 12\hat{k}$.

If the vector $19 \hat{i}+22 \hat{j}+5 \hat{k}$ bisects an angle between the vectors $a$ and $6 \hat{i}+8 \hat{j}$,then the unit vector in the direction of $a$ is
A
$\frac{1}{5}(4 \hat{i}+3 \hat{k})$
B
$\frac{1}{3}(2 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+\hat{k})$
C
$\frac{1}{3}(\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+2 \hat{k})$
D
$\frac{1}{3}(2 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-\hat{k})$

Solution

(B) Let vector $a = a_1 \hat{i} + a_2 \hat{j} + a_3 \hat{k}$.
Since the vector $v = 19 \hat{i} + 22 \hat{j} + 5 \hat{k}$ bisects the angle between $a$ and $b = 6 \hat{i} + 8 \hat{j}$,it must be proportional to the sum of their unit vectors:
$\lambda \left( \frac{a}{|a|} + \frac{b}{|b|} \right) = v$
Given $|b| = \sqrt{6^2 + 8^2} = 10$,so $\frac{b}{|b|} = \frac{6 \hat{i} + 8 \hat{j}}{10} = \frac{3}{5} \hat{i} + \frac{4}{5} \hat{j}$.
Thus,$\frac{a}{|a|} = \frac{19 \hat{i} + 22 \hat{j} + 5 \hat{k}}{\lambda} - (\frac{3}{5} \hat{i} + \frac{4}{5} \hat{j}) = (\frac{19}{\lambda} - \frac{3}{5}) \hat{i} + (\frac{22}{\lambda} - \frac{4}{5}) \hat{j} + \frac{5}{\lambda} \hat{k}$.
Since $\frac{a}{|a|}$ is a unit vector,its magnitude squared is $1$:
$(\frac{19}{\lambda} - \frac{3}{5})^2 + (\frac{22}{\lambda} - \frac{4}{5})^2 + (\frac{5}{\lambda})^2 = 1$.
Expanding this: $\frac{361}{\lambda^2} - \frac{114}{5\lambda} + \frac{9}{25} + \frac{484}{\lambda^2} - \frac{176}{5\lambda} + \frac{16}{25} + \frac{25}{\lambda^2} = 1$.
$\frac{870}{\lambda^2} - \frac{290}{5\lambda} + 1 = 1 \Rightarrow \frac{870}{\lambda^2} = \frac{58}{\lambda} \Rightarrow \lambda = \frac{870}{58} = 15$.
Substituting $\lambda = 15$ back,we get $\frac{a}{|a|} = (\frac{19}{15} - \frac{9}{15}) \hat{i} + (\frac{22}{15} - \frac{12}{15}) \hat{j} + \frac{5}{15} \hat{k} = \frac{10}{15} \hat{i} + \frac{10}{15} \hat{j} + \frac{5}{15} \hat{k} = \frac{1}{3}(2 \hat{i} + 2 \hat{j} + \hat{k})$.
Therefore,the correct option is $(b)$.

B
$x^2+y^2+z^2=4$
C
$\frac{1}{x^2}+\frac{1}{y^2}+\frac{1}{z^2}=1$
D
$\frac{1}{x^2}+\frac{1}{y^2}-\frac{1}{z^2}=\frac{1}{4}$

Solution

(A) Let the equation of the plane be $\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} + \frac{z}{c} = 1$.
Given that the distance from the origin is $6$ units.
Using the formula for the distance of a plane from the origin,we have $\frac{1}{\sqrt{\frac{1}{a^2} + \frac{1}{b^2} + \frac{1}{c^2}}} = 6$.
Squaring both sides,we get $\frac{1}{a^2} + \frac{1}{b^2} + \frac{1}{c^2} = \frac{1}{36} \quad (i)$.
The coordinates of $A, B$,and $C$ are $(a, 0, 0), (0, b, 0)$,and $(0, 0, c)$ respectively.
The centroid $(x, y, z)$ of $\triangle ABC$ is given by $x = \frac{a}{3}, y = \frac{b}{3}, z = \frac{c}{3}$.
Thus,$a = 3x, b = 3y, c = 3z$.
Substituting these values into equation $(i)$,we get $\frac{1}{(3x)^2} + \frac{1}{(3y)^2} + \frac{1}{(3z)^2} = \frac{1}{36}$.
$\frac{1}{9x^2} + \frac{1}{9y^2} + \frac{1}{9z^2} = \frac{1}{36}$.
Multiplying by $9$,we get $\frac{1}{x^2} + \frac{1}{y^2} + \frac{1}{z^2} = \frac{9}{36} = \frac{1}{4}$.

If a plane $P$ passes through the points $(1,0,0)$ and $(0,1,0)$ and makes an angle $\frac{\pi}{4}$ with the plane $x+y=3$,then the direction ratios of a normal to that plane $P$ are
A
$1, \sqrt{2}, 1$
B
$1, 1, \sqrt{2}$
C
$1, 1, 2$
D
$\sqrt{2}, 1, 1$

Solution

(B) Let the equation of the plane $P$ be $a(x-1) + by + cz = 0$,which simplifies to $ax + by + cz = a$. Since it passes through $(0,1,0)$,we have $b = a$. Thus,the equation is $ax + ay + cz = a$,or $x + y + \frac{c}{a}z = 1$. Let $k = \frac{c}{a}$. The normal vector is $\vec{n_1} = (1, 1, k)$.
The normal to the plane $x + y = 3$ is $\vec{n_2} = (1, 1, 0)$.
The angle between the planes is $\frac{\pi}{4}$,so $\cos \frac{\pi}{4} = \frac{|\vec{n_1} \cdot \vec{n_2}|}{|\vec{n_1}| |\vec{n_2}|}$.
$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{|1+1+0|}{\sqrt{1^2+1^2+k^2} \sqrt{1^2+1^2+0^2}} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{2+k^2} \sqrt{2}}$.
Squaring both sides: $\frac{1}{2} = \frac{4}{2(2+k^2)} \Rightarrow 2+k^2 = 4 \Rightarrow k^2 = 2 \Rightarrow k = \sqrt{2}$.
Thus,the direction ratios are $(1, 1, \sqrt{2})$.

B
$\frac{\pi}{4}$
C
$\cos^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{6}}{10}\right)$
D
$\frac{\pi}{2}$

Solution

(C) The angle between two planes is equal to the angle between their normal vectors.
First,we find the normal vector $\overrightarrow{n_1}$ of plane $\pi_1$. Since $\pi_1$ is perpendicular to the planes $x+2y+3z-6=0$ and $x+2y+2z-5=0$,its normal $\overrightarrow{n_1}$ is parallel to the cross product of the normals of these two planes,$\overrightarrow{n_A} = (1, 2, 3)$ and $\overrightarrow{n_B} = (1, 2, 2)$.
$\overrightarrow{n_1} = \overrightarrow{n_A} \times \overrightarrow{n_B} = \begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 1 & 2 & 2 \end{vmatrix} = \hat{i}(4-6) - \hat{j}(2-3) + \hat{k}(2-2) = -2\hat{i} + \hat{j} + 0\hat{k}$.
Next,we find the normal vector $\overrightarrow{n_2}$ of plane $\pi_2$. The normal vector is the vector joining the point $(1, 3, 2)$ and its foot of the perpendicular $(-1, 2, -3)$.
$\overrightarrow{n_2} = (-1-1)\hat{i} + (2-3)\hat{j} + (-3-2)\hat{k} = -2\hat{i} - \hat{j} - 5\hat{k}$.
The angle $\theta$ between the planes is given by $\cos \theta = \frac{|\overrightarrow{n_1} \cdot \overrightarrow{n_2}|}{|\overrightarrow{n_1}| |\overrightarrow{n_2}|}$.
$\overrightarrow{n_1} \cdot \overrightarrow{n_2} = (-2)(-2) + (1)(-1) + (0)(-5) = 4 - 1 + 0 = 3$.
$|\overrightarrow{n_1}| = \sqrt{(-2)^2 + 1^2 + 0^2} = \sqrt{5}$.
$|\overrightarrow{n_2}| = \sqrt{(-2)^2 + (-1)^2 + (-5)^2} = \sqrt{4+1+25} = \sqrt{30}$.
$\cos \theta = \frac{3}{\sqrt{5} \cdot \sqrt{30}} = \frac{3}{\sqrt{150}} = \frac{3}{5\sqrt{6}} = \frac{\sqrt{6}}{10}$.
Therefore,$\theta = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{6}}{10}\right)$.

A
$0$
B
$\frac{\pi}{4}$
C
$\frac{\pi}{3}$
D
$\frac{\pi}{2}$

Solution

(A) Let $\vec{N_1}$ and $\vec{N_2}$ be the normal vectors to the planes $P_1$ and $P_2$ respectively.
Since $P_1$ is determined by $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$,its normal is $\vec{N_1} = \vec{a} \times \vec{b}$.
Since $P_2$ is determined by $\vec{c}$ and $\vec{d}$,its normal is $\vec{N_2} = \vec{c} \times \vec{d}$.
Given that $(\vec{a} \times \vec{b}) \times (\vec{c} \times \vec{d}) = \vec{0}$,we have $\vec{N_1} \times \vec{N_2} = \vec{0}$.
This implies that the normal vectors $\vec{N_1}$ and $\vec{N_2}$ are parallel to each other.
Since the normal vectors are parallel,the planes $P_1$ and $P_2$ are parallel.
Therefore,the angle between the planes $P_1$ and $P_2$ is $0$.

Given the normal vector $\vec{n} = 2 \hat{i} - 3 \hat{j} + 4 \hat{k}$,the magnitude is $|\vec{n}| = \sqrt{2^2 + (-3)^2 + 4^2} = \sqrt{4 + 9 + 16} = \sqrt{29}$.
The unit normal vector is $\hat{n} = \frac{2 \hat{i} - 3 \hat{j} + 4 \hat{k}}{\sqrt{29}}$.
The distance from the origin is $d = \frac{6}{\sqrt{29}}$.
Substituting these into the equation $\vec{r} \cdot \hat{n} = d$:
$(x \hat{i} + y \hat{j} + z \hat{k}) \cdot \left( \frac{2 \hat{i} - 3 \hat{j} + 4 \hat{k}}{\sqrt{29}} \right) = \frac{6}{\sqrt{29}}$.
Multiplying both sides by $\sqrt{29}$,we get $2x - 3y + 4z = 6$.

If a plane cuts the coordinate axes at $A, B$ and $C$ respectively such that the centroid of the triangle $ABC$ is $(6, 6, 3)$,then find the equation of that plane.
A
$x+y+z=18$
B
$x+2y+z=18$
C
$x+y+2z=18$
D
$2x+y+z=18$

Solution

(C) Let the equation of the plane be $\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} + \frac{z}{c} = 1$.
Since the plane cuts the coordinate axes at $A(a, 0, 0)$,$B(0, b, 0)$,and $C(0, 0, c)$,the centroid of $\triangle ABC$ 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 $(6, 6, 3)$,we have:
$\frac{a}{3} = 6 \implies a = 18$
$\frac{b}{3} = 6 \implies b = 18$
$\frac{c}{3} = 3 \implies c = 9$
Substituting these values into the intercept form of the plane equation:
$\frac{x}{18} + \frac{y}{18} + \frac{z}{9} = 1$
Multiplying the entire equation by $18$,we get:
$x + y + 2z = 18$.

Let $P(1, -2, 5)$ be the foot of the perpendicular drawn from the origin to the plane $\pi_1$ and the same $P$ be the foot of the perpendicular from $(1, 2, -1)$ to the plane $\pi_2$. Then the acute angle between the planes $\pi_1$ and $\pi_2$ is
A
$\cos^{-1}\left(\frac{19}{\sqrt{390}}\right)$
B
$\cos^{-1}\left(\frac{19}{\sqrt{340}}\right)$
C
$\cos^{-1}\left(\frac{19}{\sqrt{370}}\right)$
D
$\cos^{-1}\left(\frac{19}{\sqrt{350}}\right)$

Solution

(A) The normal vector $\vec{n_1}$ to the plane $\pi_1$ is the vector from the origin $(0, 0, 0)$ to $P(1, -2, 5)$,which is $\vec{n_1} = (1, -2, 5)$.
The normal vector $\vec{n_2}$ to the plane $\pi_2$ is the vector from $(1, 2, -1)$ to $P(1, -2, 5)$,which is $\vec{n_2} = (1-1, -2-2, 5-(-1)) = (0, -4, 6)$.
The acute angle $\theta$ between the two planes is given by $\cos \theta = \frac{|\vec{n_1} \cdot \vec{n_2}|}{|\vec{n_1}| |\vec{n_2}|}$.
Calculating the dot product: $\vec{n_1} \cdot \vec{n_2} = (1)(0) + (-2)(-4) + (5)(6) = 0 + 8 + 30 = 38$.
Calculating the magnitudes: $|\vec{n_1}| = \sqrt{1^2 + (-2)^2 + 5^2} = \sqrt{1 + 4 + 25} = \sqrt{30}$.
$|\vec{n_2}| = \sqrt{0^2 + (-4)^2 + 6^2} = \sqrt{0 + 16 + 36} = \sqrt{52} = 2\sqrt{13}$.
Thus,$\cos \theta = \frac{38}{\sqrt{30} \cdot 2\sqrt{13}} = \frac{19}{\sqrt{390}}$.
Therefore,$\theta = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{19}{\sqrt{390}}\right)$.

The distance of the origin from the plane $r \cdot(3 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j}-12 \hat{k})=7$ measured parallel to the line $r=(\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k})+t(6 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k})$ is
A
$\frac{45}{8}$
B
$\frac{49}{10}$
C
$\frac{7}{10}$
D
$\frac{3}{5}$

Solution

(B) The equation of the line passing through the origin and parallel to the vector $\vec{v} = 6 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}$ is given by $\frac{x}{6} = \frac{y}{2} = \frac{z}{3} = k$.
Any point $P$ on this line is of the form $(6k, 2k, 3k)$.
Since this point $P$ lies on the plane $3x + 4y - 12z = 7$,we substitute the coordinates of $P$ into the plane equation:
$3(6k) + 4(2k) - 12(3k) = 7$
$18k + 8k - 36k = 7$
$-10k = 7 \Rightarrow k = -\frac{7}{10}$.
The coordinates of point $P$ are $(6(-\frac{7}{10}), 2(-\frac{7}{10}), 3(-\frac{7}{10})) = (-\frac{42}{10}, -\frac{14}{10}, -\frac{21}{10})$.
The distance from the origin $(0, 0, 0)$ to point $P$ is given by the distance formula:
$d = \sqrt{(-\frac{42}{10})^2 + (-\frac{14}{10})^2 + (-\frac{21}{10})^2}$
$d = \frac{1}{10} \sqrt{42^2 + 14^2 + 21^2} = \frac{1}{10} \sqrt{1764 + 196 + 441} = \frac{1}{10} \sqrt{2401} = \frac{49}{10}$.

A
$\frac{1}{9}(9\hat{i}+8\hat{j}+7\hat{k})$
B
$\frac{1}{11}(11\hat{i}+9\hat{j}+8\hat{k})$
C
$\frac{1}{11}(11\hat{i}-9\hat{j}+8\hat{k})$
D
$\frac{1}{11}(-11\hat{i}+9\hat{j}-8\hat{k})$

Solution

(B) The equation of the plane passing through the points $(1, 1, 1)$,$(2, 0, -1)$ and the origin $(0, 0, 0)$ is given by the determinant equation:
$\begin{vmatrix} x & y & z \\ 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 2 & 0 & -1 \end{vmatrix} = 0$
Expanding the determinant,we get:
$x(-1 - 0) - y(-1 - 2) + z(0 - 2) = 0$
$-x + 3y - 2z = 0$ or $x - 3y + 2z = 0$ (Equation $i$).
The equation of the line passing through the points $(1, 3, -2)$ and $(1, -1, 3)$ is:
$\frac{x-1}{1-1} = \frac{y-3}{-1-3} = \frac{z-(-2)}{3-(-2)} = r$
$\frac{x-1}{0} = \frac{y-3}{-4} = \frac{z+2}{5} = r$
Thus,any point on the line is $(1, -4r+3, 5r-2)$.
Substituting this point into the plane equation $x - 3y + 2z = 0$:
$1 - 3(-4r+3) + 2(5r-2) = 0$
$1 + 12r - 9 + 10r - 4 = 0$
$22r - 12 = 0 \Rightarrow r = \frac{12}{22} = \frac{6}{11}$.
Substituting $r = \frac{6}{11}$ back into the point coordinates:
$x = 1$,$y = -4(\frac{6}{11}) + 3 = \frac{-24+33}{11} = \frac{9}{11}$,$z = 5(\frac{6}{11}) - 2 = \frac{30-22}{11} = \frac{8}{11}$.
The point $A$ is $(1, \frac{9}{11}, \frac{8}{11})$,which in vector form is $\frac{1}{11}(11\hat{i} + 9\hat{j} + 8\hat{k})$.
Thus,option $B$ is correct.

B
$\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{41}{\sqrt{17} \sqrt{99}}\right)$
C
$\frac{\pi}{2}$
D
$\frac{\pi}{3}$

Solution

(C) The direction vectors of the two planes are $\vec{n}_1 = 2\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - 3\hat{k}$ and $\vec{n}_2 = 3\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} - 5\hat{k}$.
The direction vector $\vec{v}_1$ of the line of intersection of these two planes is given by the cross product $\vec{n}_1 \times \vec{n}_2$:
$\vec{v}_1 = \begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ 2 & 2 & -3 \\ 3 & 3 & -5 \end{vmatrix} = \hat{i}(-10 + 9) - \hat{j}(-10 + 9) + \hat{k}(6 - 6) = -\hat{i} + \hat{j} + 0\hat{k}$.
The direction vector of the given line $r = 3\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + \hat{k} + t(5\hat{i} + 5\hat{j} - 7\hat{k})$ is $\vec{v}_2 = 5\hat{i} + 5\hat{j} - 7\hat{k}$.
The angle $\theta$ between the two lines is given by $\cos \theta = \frac{|\vec{v}_1 \cdot \vec{v}_2|}{|\vec{v}_1| |\vec{v}_2|}$.
Calculating the dot product: $\vec{v}_1 \cdot \vec{v}_2 = (-1)(5) + (1)(5) + (0)(-7) = -5 + 5 + 0 = 0$.
Since the dot product is $0$,the angle $\theta$ is $\cos^{-1}(0) = \frac{\pi}{2}$.

If $a, b$ and $c$ are three non-collinear points and $ka + 2b + 3c$ is a point in the plane of $a, b$ and $c$,then $k =$
A
$4$
B
$5$
C
-$5$
D
-$4$

Solution

(D) For a point $P$ defined by $P = xa + yb + zc$ to lie in the plane containing non-collinear points $a, b$ and $c$,the sum of the coefficients must be equal to $1$ if the points are represented as position vectors relative to an origin,or the expression must be of the form $P = x a + y b + (1 - x - y) c$.
However,if the expression is given as a linear combination $ka + 2b + 3c$ representing a point in the plane,it implies that the vector is normalized such that the sum of coefficients is $1$,or it represents a point where the sum of coefficients is $0$ for the vector to be a linear combination of vectors in the plane.
Given the standard form for a point in the plane of $a, b, c$ is $P = x a + y b + z c$ where $x + y + z = 1$.
Here,$x = k, y = 2, z = 3$.
Thus,$k + 2 + 3 = 1$.
$k + 5 = 1$.
$k = 1 - 5 = -4$.

If five dice are thrown simultaneously,then the probability that at least three of them show the same numbered face is
A
$\frac{16}{6^4}$
B
$\frac{452}{6^5}$
C
$\frac{276}{6^4}$
D
$\frac{123}{6^5}$

Solution

(C) Let $n = 5$ be the number of dice thrown.
For a specific face (e.g.,$1$),the probability of it appearing on a single die is $p = \frac{1}{6}$ and the probability of it not appearing is $q = \frac{5}{6}$.
Since there are $6$ possible faces,the probability that at least $3$ dice show the same face is $6 \times P(X \geq 3)$,where $X$ follows a binomial distribution $B(5, \frac{1}{6})$.
$P(X \geq 3) = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5)$.
$P(X = 3) = \binom{5}{3} (\frac{1}{6})^3 (\frac{5}{6})^2 = 10 \times \frac{25}{6^5} = \frac{250}{6^5}$.
$P(X = 4) = \binom{5}{4} (\frac{1}{6})^4 (\frac{5}{6})^1 = 5 \times \frac{5}{6^5} = \frac{25}{6^5}$.
$P(X = 5) = \binom{5}{5} (\frac{1}{6})^5 = 1 \times \frac{1}{6^5} = \frac{1}{6^5}$.
Total probability $= 6 \times (\frac{250 + 25 + 1}{6^5}) = 6 \times \frac{276}{6^5} = \frac{276}{6^4}$.

A
$\frac{5}{36}$
B
$\frac{2}{5}$
C
$\frac{11}{36}$
D

Solution

(B) Let $A$ be the event that the sum of the numbers appearing on the two dice is $6$. The possible outcomes for $A$ are: $(1, 5), (2, 4), (3, 3), (4, 2), (5, 1)$.
Thus,the number of outcomes in $A$ is $n(A) = 5$.
Let $B$ be the event that the number $1$ appears at least once.
We are looking for the conditional probability $P(B|A)$,which is defined as $P(B|A) = \frac{n(A \cap B)}{n(A)}$.
The intersection $A \cap B$ represents the outcomes where the sum is $6$ $AND$ the number $1$ appears at least once. These outcomes are: $(1, 5)$ and $(5, 1)$.
Thus,$n(A \cap B) = 2$.
Therefore,the required probability is $P(B|A) = \frac{2}{5}$.

$A$ fair coin is tossed a fixed number of times. If the probability of getting five heads is equal to that of getting seven heads,then the probability of getting four heads is
A
$\frac{495}{4096}$
B
$\frac{429}{2048}$
C
$\frac{165}{1024}$
D
$\frac{35}{512}$

Solution

(A) According to the Binomial probability distribution,let $n$ be the number of times the coin is tossed.
Probability of getting $5$ heads is $P(X=5) = {}^{n}C_{5} (\frac{1}{2})^{n-5} (\frac{1}{2})^{5} = {}^{n}C_{5} (\frac{1}{2})^{n}$.
Probability of getting $7$ heads is $P(X=7) = {}^{n}C_{7} (\frac{1}{2})^{n}$.
Given that $P(X=5) = P(X=7)$,we have ${}^{n}C_{5} = {}^{n}C_{7}$.
Using the property ${}^{n}C_{x} = {}^{n}C_{y} \Rightarrow x+y=n$,we get $n = 5+7 = 12$.
Now,the probability of getting $4$ heads is $P(X=4) = {}^{12}C_{4} (\frac{1}{2})^{12}$.
$P(X=4) = \frac{12 \times 11 \times 10 \times 9}{4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \times \frac{1}{4096} = 495 \times \frac{1}{4096} = \frac{495}{4096}$.
Thus,option $A$ is correct.

Solution

(D) Let $E_1$ be the event of getting a $5$ and $E_2$ be the event of not getting a $5$. Let $A$ be the event that the boy reports that it is a $5$.
Given: $P(E_1) = \frac{1}{6}$,$P(E_2) = \frac{5}{6}$.
The boy speaks the truth with probability $\frac{3}{5}$,so he lies with probability $1 - \frac{3}{5} = \frac{2}{5}$.
$P(A|E_1) = \frac{3}{5}$ (He reports $5$ when it is $5$)
$P(A|E_2) = \frac{2}{5}$ (He reports $5$ when it is not $5$)
Using Bayes' Theorem:
$P(E_1|A) = \frac{P(E_1) \cdot P(A|E_1)}{P(E_1) \cdot P(A|E_1) + P(E_2) \cdot P(A|E_2)}$
$P(E_1|A) = \frac{\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{3}{5}}{(\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{3}{5}) + (\frac{5}{6} \times \frac{2}{5})} = \frac{3/30}{3/30 + 10/30} = \frac{3}{13}$.
Thus,the correct option is $D$.

A
$\frac{1}{3}$
B
$\frac{2}{3}$
C
$\frac{8}{15}$
D

Solution

(D) Total mangoes $= 10$. Good mangoes $= 6$. Spoiled mangoes $= 4$.
Let $E$ be the event that at least one mango is good,and $F$ be the event that both mangoes are good.
The number of ways to select $2$ mangoes from $10$ is $^{10}C_2 = \frac{10 \times 9}{2} = 45$.
The number of ways to select $2$ spoiled mangoes is $^4C_2 = \frac{4 \times 3}{2} = 6$.
The number of ways to select at least one good mango is $45 - 6 = 39$. So,$P(E) = \frac{39}{45}$.
The number of ways to select $2$ good mangoes is $^6C_2 = \frac{6 \times 5}{2} = 15$. So,$P(F) = \frac{15}{45}$.
Since $F \subset E$,$P(E \cap F) = P(F) = \frac{15}{45}$.
The conditional probability that the other is good given that one is good is $P(F|E) = \frac{P(F \cap E)}{P(E)} = \frac{15/45}{39/45} = \frac{15}{39} = \frac{5}{13}$.

The possible outcomes for $X \cap Y$ are $\{(5,5), (6,5)\}$. Thus,$n(X \cap Y) = 2$.

C
$\frac{37}{68}$
D

Solution

(B) Let $U_1$ and $U_2$ be the events of selecting Bag $I$ and Bag $II$ respectively.
Since the bags are chosen at random,$P(U_1) = P(U_2) = \frac{1}{2}$.
Let $R$ be the event of drawing a red ball.
The probability of drawing a red ball from Bag $I$ is $P(R|U_1) = \frac{3}{3+4} = \frac{3}{7}$.
The probability of drawing a red ball from Bag $II$ is $P(R|U_2) = \frac{5}{5+6} = \frac{5}{11}$.
Using Bayes' Theorem,the probability that the ball was drawn from Bag $II$ given that it is red is:
$P(U_2|R) = \frac{P(U_2) \times P(R|U_2)}{P(U_1) \times P(R|U_1) + P(U_2) \times P(R|U_2)}$.
Substituting the values:
$P(U_2|R) = \frac{\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{5}{11}}{\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{3}{7} + \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{5}{11}} = \frac{\frac{5}{22}}{\frac{3}{14} + \frac{5}{22}} = \frac{\frac{5}{22}}{\frac{33+35}{154}} = \frac{5}{22} \times \frac{154}{68} = \frac{5 \times 7}{68} = \frac{35}{68}$.

If $A$ and $B$ are two events such that $P(\bar{A})=0.3, P(B)=0.4$ and $P(A \cap \bar{B})=0.5$,then $P(B \mid A \cup \bar{B})=$
A
$0.3$
B
$0.1$
C
$0.25$
D

Solution

(C) Given $P(\bar{A})=0.3$,so $P(A)=1-0.3=0.7$.
Given $P(B)=0.4$,so $P(\bar{B})=1-0.4=0.6$.
We know that $P(A \cap \bar{B}) = P(A) - P(A \cap B) = 0.5$.
Substituting $P(A)=0.7$,we get $0.7 - P(A \cap B) = 0.5$,which implies $P(A \cap B) = 0.2$.
Now,we need to find $P(B \mid A \cup \bar{B}) = \frac{P(B \cap (A \cup \bar{B}))}{P(A \cup \bar{B})}$.
First,calculate the denominator: $P(A \cup \bar{B}) = P(A) + P(\bar{B}) - P(A \cap \bar{B}) = 0.7 + 0.6 - 0.5 = 0.8$.
Next,calculate the numerator: $P(B \cap (A \cup \bar{B})) = P((B \cap A) \cup (B \cap \bar{B})) = P((B \cap A) \cup \emptyset) = P(A \cap B) = 0.2$.
Therefore,$P(B \mid A \cup \bar{B}) = \frac{0.2}{0.8} = 0.25$.

Solution

(A) Let $A$ be the event that a flight departs on time and $B$ be the event that a flight arrives on time.
Given probabilities are:
$P(A) = 80 \% = 0.80$
$P(B) = 70 \% = 0.70$
$P(A \cap B) = 65 \% = 0.65$
We need to find the conditional probability that a flight arrives on time given that it has departed on time,which is $P(B|A)$.
Using the formula for conditional probability:
$P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}$
Substituting the values:
$P(B|A) = \frac{0.65}{0.80} = \frac{65}{80} = \frac{13}{16}$
Thus,the probability is $\frac{13}{16}$.

$1$. Error in $X$ only: $P(E_1 \cap E_2^c) = P(E_1) - P(E_1 \cap E_2) = 0.1 - 0.03 = 0.07$.
$2$. Error in $Y$ only: $P(E_1^c \cap E_2) = P(E_2) - P(E_1 \cap E_2) = 0.3 - 0.03 = 0.27$.
$3$. Error in both $X$ and $Y$: $P(E_1 \cap E_2) = 0.03$.
Let $C$ be the event that the program crashes. The conditional probabilities are given as $P(C|X \text{ only}) = 0.5$,$P(C|Y \text{ only}) = 0.7$,and $P(C|X \cap Y) = 0.8$.
Using the law of total probability:
$P(C) = P(C|X \text{ only})P(X \text{ only}) + P(C|Y \text{ only})P(Y \text{ only}) + P(C|X \cap Y)P(X \cap Y)$
$P(C) = (0.5 \times 0.07) + (0.7 \times 0.27) + (0.8 \times 0.03)$
$P(C) = 0.035 + 0.189 + 0.024 = 0.248$
$P(C) = \frac{248}{1000} = \frac{31}{125}$.

An examination is attempted by $5000$ graduates,$2000$ post-graduates,and $1000$ doctorate holders. The probabilities that a graduate,a post-graduate,and a doctorate holder will pass the examination are $\frac{2}{3}$,$\frac{3}{4}$,and $\frac{4}{5}$ respectively. If one of the examinees passed the examination,then the probability that he is a post-graduate is:
A
$\frac{45}{169}$
B
$\frac{100}{169}$
C
$\frac{24}{169}$
D
$\frac{5}{64}$

Solution

(A) Let $E_1$,$E_2$,and $E_3$ be the events that the selected examinee is a graduate,a post-graduate,and a doctorate holder,respectively.
Total examinees = $5000 + 2000 + 1000 = 8000$.
$P(E_1) = \frac{5000}{8000} = \frac{5}{8}$,$P(E_2) = \frac{2000}{8000} = \frac{2}{8} = \frac{1}{4}$,$P(E_3) = \frac{1000}{8000} = \frac{1}{8}$.
Let $A$ be the event that the examinee passed the examination.
$P(A|E_1) = \frac{2}{3}$,$P(A|E_2) = \frac{3}{4}$,$P(A|E_3) = \frac{4}{5}$.
Using Bayes' Theorem,the probability that the examinee is a post-graduate given that they passed is:
$P(E_2|A) = \frac{P(E_2) \times P(A|E_2)}{P(E_1) \times P(A|E_1) + P(E_2) \times P(A|E_2) + P(E_3) \times P(A|E_3)}$
$P(E_2|A) = \frac{\frac{2}{8} \times \frac{3}{4}}{\frac{5}{8} \times \frac{2}{3} + \frac{2}{8} \times \frac{3}{4} + \frac{1}{8} \times \frac{4}{5}}$
$P(E_2|A) = \frac{\frac{6}{32}}{\frac{10}{24} + \frac{6}{32} + \frac{4}{40}} = \frac{\frac{3}{16}}{\frac{5}{12} + \frac{3}{16} + \frac{1}{10}}$
Finding a common denominator $(240)$:
$P(E_2|A) = \frac{\frac{45}{240}}{\frac{100}{240} + \frac{45}{240} + \frac{24}{240}} = \frac{45}{100 + 45 + 24} = \frac{45}{169}$.

If getting a head on a coin when it is tossed is considered as success,then the probability of having more number of failures when ten fair coins are tossed simultaneously is
A
$\frac{105}{2^8}$
B
$\frac{73}{2^7}$
C
$\frac{193}{2^9}$
D
$\frac{638}{2^{10}}$

Solution

(C) Let $n=10$ be the number of tosses,$p$ be the probability of success (getting a head) $= \frac{1}{2}$,and $q$ be the probability of failure (getting a tail) $= \frac{1}{2}$.
Let $X$ be the number of successes. We want the probability of having more failures than successes. This means $X < 5$,i.e.,$X \in \{0, 1, 2, 3, 4\}$.
However,the question asks for more failures than successes,which means $X < 5$. Since the total number of trials is $10$,the number of failures is $10-X$. We want $10-X > X$,which implies $2X < 10$,or $X < 5$.
Thus,we need to calculate $P(X \leq 4) = P(X=0) + P(X=1) + P(X=2) + P(X=3) + P(X=4)$.
Since the distribution is symmetric for $p=q=\frac{1}{2}$,$P(X \leq 4) = P(X \geq 6)$.
$P(X \geq 6) = P(X=6) + P(X=7) + P(X=8) + P(X=9) + P(X=10)$.
$P(X \geq 6) = \sum_{r=6}^{10} {}^{10}C_r (\frac{1}{2})^{10} = \frac{1}{2^{10}} ({}^{10}C_6 + {}^{10}C_7 + {}^{10}C_8 + {}^{10}C_9 + {}^{10}C_{10})$.
$= \frac{1}{2^{10}} (210 + 120 + 45 + 10 + 1) = \frac{386}{2^{10}} = \frac{193}{2^9}$.

If two unbiased dice are rolled simultaneously until a sum of the numbers appearing on these dice is either $7$ or $11$,then the probability that $7$ comes before $11$ is:
A
$\frac{3}{8}$
B
$\frac{3}{4}$
C
$\frac{5}{6}$
D
$\frac{2}{9}$

Solution

(B) Let $E_1$ be the event that the sum is $7$ and $E_2$ be the event that the sum is $11$.
The total number of outcomes when two dice are rolled is $6 \times 6 = 36$.
The outcomes for sum $7$ are $(1,6), (2,5), (3,4), (4,3), (5,2), (6,1)$,so $P(E_1) = \frac{6}{36} = \frac{1}{6}$.
The outcomes for sum $11$ are $(5,6), (6,5)$,so $P(E_2) = \frac{2}{36} = \frac{1}{18}$.
We are interested in the event that $E_1$ occurs before $E_2$. This means in any trial,we ignore outcomes where the sum is neither $7$ nor $11$.
The probability of getting either $7$ or $11$ is $P(E_1 \cup E_2) = P(E_1) + P(E_2) = \frac{6}{36} + \frac{2}{36} = \frac{8}{36} = \frac{2}{9}$.
Given that the sum is either $7$ or $11$,the conditional probability that the sum is $7$ is $P(E_1 | E_1 \cup E_2) = \frac{P(E_1)}{P(E_1) + P(E_2)} = \frac{6/36}{8/36} = \frac{6}{8} = \frac{3}{4}$.
Thus,the probability that $7$ appears before $11$ is $\frac{3}{4}$.

In a communication network,$98 \%$ of messages are transmitted with no error. If a random variable $X$ denotes the number of incorrectly transmitted messages,then the probability that at most one message is transmitted incorrectly out of $500$ messages sent,is
A
$\frac{11}{e^{10}}$
B
$\frac{e^{10}-1}{e^{10}}$
C
$e^{10}$
D
$\frac{98}{e^{10}}$

Solution

(A) Given that the total number of messages $n = 500$ and the probability of a message being transmitted correctly is $0.98$.
Therefore,the probability of a message being transmitted incorrectly is $p = 1 - 0.98 = 0.02$.
Since $n$ is large and $p$ is small,we use the Poisson distribution with parameter $\lambda = np = 500 \times 0.02 = 10$.
The probability of $X$ incorrectly transmitted messages is given by $P(X=r) = \frac{\lambda^r e^{-\lambda}}{r!}$.
We need to find the probability that at most one message is transmitted incorrectly,i.e.,$P(X \leq 1) = P(X=0) + P(X=1)$.
$P(X=0) = \frac{10^0 e^{-10}}{0!} = e^{-10}$.
$P(X=1) = \frac{10^1 e^{-10}}{1!} = 10 e^{-10}$.
Thus,$P(X \leq 1) = e^{-10} + 10 e^{-10} = 11 e^{-10} = \frac{11}{e^{10}}$.

As a business strategy,$20 \%$ of the new internet service subscribers selected randomly receive a special promotion. If a group of $5$ such subscribers signs for the service,then the probability that at least two of them get the special promotion is
A
$\frac{819}{3125}$
B
$\frac{821}{3125}$
C
$\frac{823}{3125}$
D
$\frac{817}{3125}$

Solution

(B) Consider the Binomial probability distribution where $n = 5$ and $p = 0.2 = \frac{1}{5}$.
Probability of success $p = \frac{1}{5}$,so probability of failure $q = 1 - \frac{1}{5} = \frac{4}{5}$.
We need to find the probability that at least two subscribers receive the promotion,which is $P(X \geq 2)$.
This can be calculated as $P(X \geq 2) = 1 - [P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)]$.
$P(X = 0) = { }^5 C_0 \left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^0 \left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^5 = 1 \times 1 \times \frac{1024}{3125} = \frac{1024}{3125}$.
$P(X = 1) = { }^5 C_1 \left(\frac{1}{5}\right)^1 \left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^4 = 5 \times \frac{1}{5} \times \frac{256}{625} = \frac{256}{625} = \frac{1280}{3125}$.
Therefore,$P(X \geq 2) = 1 - \left(\frac{1024 + 1280}{3125}\right) = 1 - \frac{2304}{3125} = \frac{3125 - 2304}{3125} = \frac{821}{3125}$.

Let $\lim _{t \rightarrow 0}(1+5 t)^{\frac{1}{t}}=K$ and $X$ be the random variable representing the number of successes in $100$ independent trials. If the probability of success in each trial is $0.05$,then the probability of getting at least one success is
A
$\frac{1-K}{K}$
B
$\frac{K-1}{K}$
C
$\frac{K+1}{2K}$
D
$\frac{5K+2}{7K}$

Solution

(B) Given that $\lim _{t \rightarrow 0}(1+5t)^{\frac{1}{t}} = K$.
Using the standard limit $\lim _{t \rightarrow 0}(1+at)^{\frac{1}{t}} = e^a$,we get $K = e^5$.
For the random variable $X$ representing the number of successes in $n = 100$ independent trials with probability of success $p = 0.05$,the distribution follows a Binomial distribution $B(n, p)$.
Since $n$ is large and $p$ is small,we can approximate this using a Poisson distribution with parameter $\lambda = np = 100 \times 0.05 = 5$.
The probability of getting at least one success is $P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)$.
Using the Poisson formula $P(X = k) = \frac{e^{-\lambda} \lambda^k}{k!}$,we have $P(X = 0) = e^{-5}$.
Therefore,$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - e^{-5} = 1 - \frac{1}{e^5} = 1 - \frac{1}{K} = \frac{K-1}{K}$.

Two dice are rolled. If a random variable $X$ is defined as the absolute difference of the two numbers that appear on them,then the mean of $X$ is
A
$0$
B
$\frac{13}{18}$
C
$\frac{19}{9}$
D
$\frac{35}{18}$

Solution

(D) When two dice are rolled,the total number of outcomes is $6 \times 6 = 36$. Let $X$ be the absolute difference of the numbers on the two dice. The possible values of $X$ are $0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5$. The probability distribution is as follows:
| $X$ | $P(X)$ | $P_i X_i$ |
|---|---|---|
| $0$ | $6/36$ | $0$ |
| $1$ | $10/36$ | $10/36$ |
| $2$ | $8/36$ | $16/36$ |
| $3$ | $6/36$ | $18/36$ |
| $4$ | $4/36$ | $16/36$ |
| $5$ | $2/36$ | $10/36$ |
The mean $\mu$ is given by $\sum P_i X_i$:
$\mu = 0 + \frac{10}{36} + \frac{16}{36} + \frac{18}{36} + \frac{16}{36} + \frac{10}{36}$
$\mu = \frac{10 + 16 + 18 + 16 + 10}{36} = \frac{70}{36} = \frac{35}{18}$.

If $X$ is a Poisson variable representing the number of successes in $50$ trials such that $2 P(X=1) = 5 P(X=5) + 2 P(X=3)$,then the probability of getting success in one trial is
A
$2 e^{-2}$
B
$0.03$
C
$0.04$
D
$0.05$

Solution

(C) Given,$n = 50$. Let $p$ be the probability of success in one trial. Then the parameter of the Poisson distribution is $\lambda = np = 50p$.
The probability mass function for a Poisson variable is $P(X=k) = \frac{e^{-\lambda} \lambda^k}{k!}$.
Given the equation: $2 P(X=1) = 5 P(X=5) + 2 P(X=3)$.
Substituting the formula: $2 \frac{e^{-\lambda} \lambda^1}{1!} = 5 \frac{e^{-\lambda} \lambda^5}{5!} + 2 \frac{e^{-\lambda} \lambda^3}{3!}$.
Dividing both sides by $e^{-\lambda}$ (since $e^{-\lambda} \neq 0$): $2 \lambda = 5 \frac{\lambda^5}{120} + 2 \frac{\lambda^3}{6}$.
$2 \lambda = \frac{\lambda^5}{24} + \frac{\lambda^3}{3}$.
Multiplying by $24$: $48 \lambda = \lambda^5 + 8 \lambda^3$.
Since $\lambda \neq 0$,divide by $\lambda$: $\lambda^4 + 8 \lambda^2 - 48 = 0$.
Let $u = \lambda^2$,then $u^2 + 8u - 48 = 0$.
$(u + 12)(u - 4) = 0$.
So,$\lambda^2 = 4$ or $\lambda^2 = -12$. Since $\lambda^2$ must be positive,$\lambda^2 = 4$,which gives $\lambda = 2$.
Finally,$p = \frac{\lambda}{n} = \frac{2}{50} = 0.04$.

A
$\frac{1}{12}$
B
$\frac{19}{12}$
C
$\frac{113}{12}$
D
$\frac{12}{113}$

Solution

(C) First,we calculate $E(X)$ and $E(X^2)$ using the given distribution:
$E(X) = \Sigma x P(X=x) = (-1)(\frac{1}{3}) + (0)(\frac{1}{6}) + (1)(\frac{1}{6}) + (2)(\frac{1}{3}) = -\frac{1}{3} + 0 + \frac{1}{6} + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{-2+0+1+4}{6} = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}$
$E(X^2) = \Sigma x^2 P(X=x) = (-1)^2(\frac{1}{3}) + (0)^2(\frac{1}{6}) + (1)^2(\frac{1}{6}) + (2)^2(\frac{1}{3}) = \frac{1}{3} + 0 + \frac{1}{6} + \frac{4}{3} = \frac{2+0+1+8}{6} = \frac{11}{6}$
Now,we find $\operatorname{Var}(X) = E(X^2) - (E(X))^2 = \frac{11}{6} - (\frac{1}{2})^2 = \frac{11}{6} - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{22-3}{12} = \frac{19}{12}$
Finally,we calculate $6 E(X^2) - \operatorname{Var}(X)$:
$6 E(X^2) - \operatorname{Var}(X) = 6(\frac{11}{6}) - \frac{19}{12} = 11 - \frac{19}{12} = \frac{132-19}{12} = \frac{113}{12}$

$A$ boy rolls a die once. If an even number appears,the number of chocolates the boy gets is equal to two more than the number that appeared. If an odd number appears on the die,the number of chocolates he gets is equal to three more than the number that appeared. If a random variable $X$ represents the number of chocolates the boy receives,then the range of $X$ is:
A
$\{4, 6, 8\}$
B
$\{3, 5, 7\}$
C
$\{3, 4, 7\}$
D
$\{2, 3\}$

Solution

(A) Let $N$ be the number appearing on the die. The possible values for $N$ are $\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\}$.
If $N$ is even $(N \in \{2, 4, 6\})$,the number of chocolates $X = N + 2$.
For $N = 2$,$X = 2 + 2 = 4$.
For $N = 4$,$X = 4 + 2 = 6$.
For $N = 6$,$X = 6 + 2 = 8$.
If $N$ is odd $(N \in \{1, 3, 5\})$,the number of chocolates $X = N + 3$.
For $N = 1$,$X = 1 + 3 = 4$.
For $N = 3$,$X = 3 + 3 = 6$.
For $N = 5$,$X = 5 + 3 = 8$.
Thus,the set of all possible values of $X$ is $\{4, 6, 8\}$.
Therefore,the range of $X$ is $\{4, 6, 8\}$.

Two dice are rolled. If a random variable $X$ denotes the sum of the numbers on them and $\mu$ denotes the mean of $X$,then $\mu+P(X < 5)+P(X>9)+P(X=7)=$
A
$\frac{15}{2}$
B
$17$
C
$\frac{17}{2}$
D
$15$

Solution

(A) When two dice are rolled,the sum $X$ can take values from $2$ to $12$. The probability distribution is as follows:
$X: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12$
$P(X): \frac{1}{36}, \frac{2}{36}, \frac{3}{36}, \frac{4}{36}, \frac{5}{36}, \frac{6}{36}, \frac{5}{36}, \frac{4}{36}, \frac{3}{36}, \frac{2}{36}, \frac{1}{36}$
The mean $\mu = E(X) = \sum X_i P(X_i) = \frac{2(1)+3(2)+4(3)+5(4)+6(5)+7(6)+8(5)+9(4)+10(3)+11(2)+12(1)}{36} = \frac{252}{36} = 7$.
Now,calculate the probabilities:
$P(X < 5) = P(X=2) + P(X=3) + P(X=4) = \frac{1+2+3}{36} = \frac{6}{36}$.
$P(X > 9) = P(X=10) + P(X=11) + P(X=12) = \frac{3+2+1}{36} = \frac{6}{36}$.
$P(X = 7) = \frac{6}{36}$.
Substituting these values into the expression $\mu + P(X < 5) + P(X > 9) + P(X = 7)$:
$= 7 + \frac{6}{36} + \frac{6}{36} + \frac{6}{36} = 7 + \frac{18}{36} = 7 + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{15}{2}$.

If a Poisson variate $X$ satisfies $P(X=2) = P(X=3)$,then $P(X=5) =$
A

B
$\frac{81}{40 e^3}$
C
$\frac{243}{40 e^3}$
D
$\frac{243}{40 e^5}$

Solution

(B) For a Poisson distribution,the probability mass function is given by $P(X=k) = \frac{\lambda^k e^{-\lambda}}{k!}$.
Given $P(X=2) = P(X=3)$,we have:
$\frac{\lambda^2 e^{-\lambda}}{2!} = \frac{\lambda^3 e^{-\lambda}}{3!}$
$\frac{\lambda^2}{2} = \frac{\lambda^3}{6}$
Since $\lambda > 0$,we can divide by $\lambda^2$:
$\frac{1}{2} = \frac{\lambda}{6} \Rightarrow \lambda = 3$.
Now,we calculate $P(X=5)$:
$P(X=5) = \frac{3^5 e^{-3}}{5!} = \frac{243 e^{-3}}{120} = \frac{81 e^{-3}}{40} = \frac{81}{40 e^3}$.
Thus,option $B$ is correct.
