$f (x) = \frac{x - 1}{x + 1} \Rightarrow f (f (x)) = \frac{\frac{x - 1}{x + 1} - 1}{\frac{x - 1}{x + 1} + 1} = - \frac{1}{x}$

$f^{3} (x) = - \frac{x + 1}{x - 1} \Rightarrow f^{4} (x) = \frac{\frac{x - 1}{x + 1} + 1}{\frac{x - 1}{x + 1} - 1} = x$

$S o, f^{6} (6) + f^{7} (7) = f^{2} (6) + f^{3} (7)$

If (gof) is differentiable at x = 0, then (gof)(-4) is equal to

GOF is differentiable at x = 0

So R.H.D = L.H.D.

$\frac{d}{d x} (4 e^{x} + k_{2}) = \frac{d}{d x} ({(- | x + 3 |)}^{2} - k_{1} | x + 3 |)$

The sum of the absolute minimum and the absolute maximum values of the friction f(x) = $| 3 x - x^{2} + 2 | - x$ in the interval [1, 2] is

$f (x) = | x^{2} - 3 x - 2 | - x$

$= | (x - \frac{3 - \sqrt[]{17}}{2}) (x - \frac{3 + \sqrt[]{17}}{2}) | - x$

$\Rightarrow f (x) = [\begin{matrix} x^{2} - 4 x - 2 - 1 \leq x \leq \frac{3 - \sqrt[]{17}}{2} & - x^{2} + 2 x + 2 \frac{3 - \sqrt[]{17}}{2} < x \leq 2 \end{matrix}]$

absolute minimum $f (\frac{3 - \sqrt[]{17}}{2}) = \frac{- 3 + \sqrt[]{17}}{2}$

absolute maximum = 3

$∴ s u m 3 + \frac{- 3 + \sqrt[]{17}}{2} = \frac{3 + \sqrt[]{17}}{2}$

Let S be the set of all the natural numbers, for which the line $\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 2$ is a tangent to the curve ${(\frac{x}{a})}^{n} + {(\frac{y}{b})}^{n} = 2$ at the point (a, b), ab Then

${(\frac{x}{a})}^{n} + {(\frac{y}{b})}^{n} = 2$

$\Rightarrow \frac{n}{a} {(\frac{x}{a})}^{n - 1} + \frac{n}{b} {(\frac{y}{b})}^{n - 1} \frac{d y}{d x} = 0$

$\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x} = - \frac{b}{a} {(\frac{b x}{a y})}^{n - 1}$

$\frac{d y}{d x_{(a, b)}} = - \frac{b}{a}$

So line always touches the given curve.

The area bounded by the curve y = $| x^{2} - 9 |$ and the line y = 3 is :

$| x^{2} - 9 | = 3$

$\Rightarrow x = \pm 2 \sqrt[]{3}, \pm \sqrt[]{6}$

Required area = A

$\frac{A}{2} = \int_{0}^{\sqrt[]{6}} (9 - x^{2} - 3) d x + \int_{0}^{3} (\sqrt[]{9 + y} - \sqrt[]{9 - y}) d y$

$A = 16 \sqrt[]{6} + 32 \sqrt[]{3} - 72 = 8 [2 \sqrt[]{6} + 4 \sqrt[]{3} - 9]$

Note : No option in the question paper is correct.

Let R be the point (3, 7) and let P and Q be two points on the line x + y = 5 such that PQR is an equilateral triangle. Then the area of $Δ P Q R$ is

RM = $| \frac{3 + 7 - 5}{\sqrt[]{2}} | = \frac{5}{\sqrt[]{2}}$

$l s i n 60 ° = \frac{5}{\sqrt[]{2}} \Rightarrow l = 5 \sqrt[]{\frac{2}{3}}$

$∴ A r e a o f Δ P Q R = \frac{3}{4} l^{2} =$ =25/2√3

Let C be a circle passing through the points A(2, 1) and B(3, 4). The line segment AB is not a diameter of C. If r is the radius of C and its centre lies on the circle ${(x - 5)}^{5} + {(y - 1)}^{2} = \frac{13}{2}$ , then r² is equal to

Equation of perpendicular bisector of AB is

$y - \frac{3}{2} = - \frac{1}{5} (x - \frac{5}{2}) \Rightarrow x + 5 y = 10$

Solving it with equation of given circle,

${(x - 5)}^{2} + {(\frac{10 - x}{5} - 1)}^{2} = \frac{13}{2}$

$\Rightarrow x - 5 = \pm \frac{5}{2} \Rightarrow x = \frac{5}{2} o r \frac{15}{2}$

But

$x \neq \frac{5}{2}$

because AB is not the diameter.

So, centre will be

$(\frac{15}{2}, \frac{1}{2})$

Now,

$r^{2} = {(\frac{15}{2} - 2)}^{2} + {(\frac{1}{2} + 1)}^{2} = \frac{65}{2}$

Let the normal at the point P on the parabola y² = 6x pass through the point (5, 8). If the tangent at P to the parabola intersects its directrix at the point Q, then the ordinate of the point Q is

Let P (at², 2 at) where

$a = \frac{3}{2}$

T : yt = x + at² so point Q is

$(- a, a t - \frac{a}{t})$

N : y = -tx + 2at + at³ passes through (5, -8)

$- 8 = - 5 t + 3 t + \frac{3}{2} t^{3}$

⇒ $3 t^{3} - 4 t + 16 = 0$

⇒ t = -2

So ordinate of point Q is $- \frac{9}{4}$

If the two lines $l_{1} : \frac{x - 2}{3} = \frac{y + 1}{- 2}, z = 2 a n d l_{2} : \frac{x - 1}{1} = \frac{2 y + 3}{α} = \frac{z + 5}{2}$ are perpendicular, then an angle between the lines $l_{2} a n d l_{3} : \frac{1 - x}{3} = \frac{2 y - 1}{- 4} = \frac{z}{4} i s :$

$? l_{1} a n d l_{2}$ are perpendicular, so

$3 \times 1 + (- 2) (\frac{α}{2}) + 0 \times 2 = 0$

a = 3

Now angle between $l_{2} a n d l_{3}$ ,

$c o s θ = \frac{1 (- 3) + \frac{α}{2} (- 2) + 2 (4)}{\sqrt[]{1 + \frac{α^{2}}{4} + 4} . \sqrt[]{9 + 4 + 16}}$

$\Rightarrow c o s θ = \frac{\frac{2}{29}}{2} \Rightarrow θ = c o s^{- 1} (\frac{4}{29}) = s e c^{- 1} (\frac{29}{4})$

Let the plane 2x + 3y + z + 20 = 0 be rotated through a right angle about its line of intersection with the plane x – 3y + 5z = 8. If the mirror image of the point $(2, - \frac{1}{2}, 2)$ in the rotated plane in B(a, b, c), then

Consider the equation of plane,

$?$ Plane P is perpendicular to 2x + 3y + z + 20 = 0

So, $4 + 2 λ + 9 - 9 λ + 1 + 5 λ = 0$

0 $λ = 7$

P : 9x – 18y + 36z – 36 = 0

Or P : x – 2y + 4z = 4

If image of

$(2, - \frac{1}{2}, 2)$

In plane P is (a, b, c) then

$\frac{a - 2}{1} = \frac{b + \frac{1}{2}}{- 2} = \frac{c - 2}{4}$

and $(\frac{a + 2}{2}) - 2 (\frac{b - \frac{1}{2}}{2}) + 4 (\frac{c + 2}{2}) = 4$

clearly

$a = \frac{4}{3}, b = \frac{5}{6} a n d c = - \frac{2}{3}$

So, a : b : c = 8 : 5 : 4

If $\vec{a} . \vec{b} = 1, \vec{b} . \vec{c} = 2 \vec{c} . \vec{a} = 3,$ then the value of $[\vec{a} \times (\vec{b} \times \vec{c}), \vec{b} \times (\vec{c} \times \vec{a}), \vec{c} \times (\vec{b} \times \vec{a})] i s :$

$\vec{a} \times (\vec{b} \times \vec{c}) = 3 \vec{b} - \vec{c} = \vec{u}$

$\vec{b} \times (\vec{c} \times \vec{a}) = \vec{c} - 2 \vec{a} = \vec{v}$

$\vec{c} \times (\vec{b} \times \vec{a}) = 3 \vec{b} - 2 \vec{a} = \vec{w}$

$∴ \vec{u} + \vec{v} = \vec{w}$

so vectors

$\vec{u}, \vec{v} a n d \vec{w}$

are coplanar, hence their Scalar triple product will be zero.

Let a biased coin be tossed 5 times. If the probability of getting 4 heads is equal to the probability of getting 5 heads, then the probability of getting atmost two heads is

P (H) = x . P (T) = 1 – x

P (4H. 1T) = P (5H)

6x = 5 = 0 $x = \frac{5}{6}$

P (atmost 2H)

$P (O H, 5 T) + P (1 H, 4 T) + P (2 H, 3 T)$

$= \frac{1}{6^{5}} (1 + 25 + 250) = \frac{276}{6^{5}} = \frac{4^{6}}{6^{4}}$

The mean of the numbers a, b, 8, 5, 10 is 6 and their variance is 6.8. If M is the mean deviation of the numbers about the mean, then 25 M is equal to

$\bar{x} = 6 = \frac{a + b + 8 + 5 + 10}{5} \Rightarrow a + b = 7$ …… (i)

and

$σ^{2} = \frac{a^{2} + b^{2} + 8^{2} + 5^{2} + 1 0^{2}}{5} - 6^{2} = 6.8$

a² + b² = 25 ……. (ii)

From (i) and (ii) (a, b) = (3, 4) or (4, 3)

Now mean deviation about mean

$M = \frac{1}{5} (3 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 4) = \frac{12}{5}$

25M = 60

Let f(x) = $2 c o s^{- 1} x + 4 c o t^{- 1} x - 3 x^{2} - 2 x + 10, x \in [- 1, 1] . I f [a, b]$ is the range of the function f, then 4a – b is equal to

$f (x) = 2 c o s^{- 1} x + 4 c o t^{- 1} x - 3 x^{2} - 2 x + 10 \forall x \in [- 1, 1]$

$\Rightarrow f' (x) = - \frac{2}{\sqrt[]{1 - x^{2}}} - \frac{4}{1 + x^{2}} - 6 x - 2 < 0 \forall x \in [- 1, 1]$

So, f (x) is decreasing function and range of f (x) is

$[f (1), f (- 1)],$ which is $[π + 5, 5 π + 9]$

Now 4a – b = 4 ( + 5) (5 + 9) = 11 - π

Let $Δ, \nabla \in {\land, \lor}$ be such that $p \nabla q \Rightarrow ((p Δ q) \nabla r)$ is a tautology. Then $(p \nabla q) Δ r$ is logically equivalent to

Case – I $Δ \equiv \nabla \equiv \land$

$(p \land q) \to ((p \land q) \land r)$

it can be false if r is false,

so not a tautology

Case – II If $Δ \equiv \nabla \equiv \lor$

$(p \lor q) ? \to ((p \lor q) \lor r) \equiv$ tautology

then $(p \lor q) \lor r \equiv (p Δ r) \lor q$

Case – III If $Δ \equiv v, \nabla \equiv \land$

then $(p \land q) \to {(p \lor q) \land r}$

Not a tautology

Case – IV If $Δ \equiv \land, \nabla \equiv \lor$

$(p \land q) \to {(p \land q) \lor r}$

Not a tautology

The sum of the cubes of all the roots of the equation $x^{4} - 3 x^{3} - 2 x^{2} + 3 x + 1 = 0$ is

$x^{4} ? 3 x^{3} ? 2 x^{2} + 3 x + 1 = 0$

$? x = \pm 1$

and let, are roots of x2 – 3x – 1 = 0

$? ? + ? = 3 ? ? = ? 1$

$? 1^{3} + {(? 1)}^{3} + ?^{3} + ?^{3}$

= 27 + 3 (3) = 36

There are ten boys B₁, B₂,….., B₁₀ and five girls G₁, G₂,….., G₅ in a class. Then the number of ways of forming a group consisting of three boys and three girls, if both B₁ and B₂ together should not be the members of a group, is………….

Boys (10) Girls (5)

(3) (3)

B₁ & B₂ should not be selected together

Total number of ways

= (56 + 56) × 10 = 1120

LE the common tangents to the curves $4 (x^{2} + y^{2}) = 9$ and y2 = 4x intersect at the point Q. Let an ellipse, centered at the origin O, has lengths of semi-minor and semi-major axes equal to OQ and 6, respectively. If e and $l$ respectively denote the eccentricity and the length of the latus rectum of this ellipse, then $\frac{l}{e^{2}}$ is equal to

Let y = mx + c is the common tangent

$s o c = \frac{1}{m} = \pm \frac{3}{2} \sqrt[]{1 + m^{2}} \Rightarrow m^{2} = \frac{1}{3}$

so equation of common tangents will be

$y = \pm \frac{1}{\sqrt[]{3}} x \pm \sqrt[]{3}$

which intersects at Q (3, 0)

Major axis and minor axis of ellipse are 12 and 6. So eccentricity

$e^{2} = 1 - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4}$

and length of latus rectum

$= \frac{2 b^{2}}{a} = 3$

Hence

$\frac{l}{e^{2}} = \frac{3}{3 / 4} = 4$

Let f(x) = $m a x {| x + 1 |, | x + 2 |, . . . . . ., | x + 5 |} . T h e n \int_{- 6}^{0} f (x) d x$ is equal to

$∴ \int_{- 6}^{0} f (x) d x = 2 \times \frac{1}{2} (2 + 5) \times 3 = 21$

Let the solution curve y = y(x) of the differential equation (4 + x²)dy – 2x(x² + 3y + 4)dx = 0 pass through the origin. They y(2) is equal to

$(4 + x^{2}) d y - 2 x (x^{2} + 3 y + 4) d x = 0$

$\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x} = (\frac{6 x}{x^{2} + 4}) y + 2 x$

$e^{- 3 l n (x^{2} + 4)} = \frac{1}{{(x^{2} + 4)}^{3}}$

$\frac{y}{{(x^{2} + 4)}^{3}} = \int \frac{2 x}{{(x^{2} + 4)}^{3}} d x + c$

$\Rightarrow y = - \frac{1}{2} (x^{2} + 4) + c {(x^{2} + 4)}^{3}$

When x = 0, y = 0 gives

$c = \frac{1}{32}$

So, for x = 2, y = 12

If $s i n^{2} (1 0^{0}) s i n (2 0^{0}) s i n (4 0^{0}) s i n (5 0^{0}) s i n (7 0^{0}) = α - \frac{1}{16} s i n (1 0^{0}),$ then 16 + 1 is equal to

$(s i n 10 ° . s i n 50 ° . s i n 70 °) . (s i n 10 ° . s i n 20 ° . s i n 40 °)$

$= (\frac{1}{4} s i n 30 °) . [\frac{1}{2} s i n 10 ° (c o s 20 ° - c o s 60 °)]$

$= \frac{1}{32} [s i n 30 ° - s i n 10 ° - s i n 10 °]$

$\frac{1}{64} - \frac{1}{16} s i n 10 °$

Clearly $α = \frac{1}{64}$

Hence 16 + a^-1= 80

Let A = ${n \in N : H . C . F . (n, 45) = 1}$ and Let B = ${2 k : k \in {1, 2, . . . . . ., 100}} .$ Then the sum of all the elements of $A \cup B i s . . . . . . . . . .$

Sum of all elements of $A \cap B = 2$ [Sum of natural number upto 100 which are neither divisible by 3 nor by 5]

$= 2 [\frac{100 \times 101}{2} - 3 (\frac{33 \times 34}{2}) - 5 (\frac{20 \times 21}{2}) + 15 (\frac{6 \times 7}{2})]$

= 10100 – 3366 – 2100 + 630

= 5264

The value of the integral $\frac{48}{π^{4}} \int_{0}^{π} (\frac{3 π x^{2}}{2} - x^{3}) \frac{s i n x}{1 + c o s^{2} x} d x$ is equal to

$l = \frac{48}{π^{4}} \int_{0}^{π} [{(\frac{π}{2} - x)}^{3} - \frac{3 π^{2}}{4} (\frac{π}{2} - x) + \frac{π^{3}}{4}] \frac{s i n x d x}{1 + c o s^{2} x}$

Using

$\int_{a}^{b} f (x) d x = \int_{a}^{b} f (a + b - x) d x$

we get

$l = \frac{48}{π^{4}} \int_{0}^{π} [- {(\frac{π}{2} - x)}^{3} + \frac{3 π^{2}}{4} (\frac{π}{2} - x) + \frac{π^{3}}{4}] \frac{s i n x d x}{1 + c o s^{2} x}$

Adding these two equations, we get

$\Rightarrow l = \frac{12}{π} {[- t a n^{- 1} (c o s x)]}_{0}^{π} = \frac{12}{π} . \frac{π}{2} = 6$

Let $A = \sum_{i = 1}^{10} \sum_{j = 1}^{10} m i n {i, j} a n d B = \sum_{i = j}^{10} \sum_{j = 1}^{10} m a x {i, j} .$ Then A + B is equal to

Each element of ordered pair (i, j) is either present in A or in B.

So, A + B = Sum of all elements of all ordered pairs {i, j} for $1 \leq i \leq 10$ and $1 \leq j \leq 10$

= 20 (1 + 2 + 3 + … + 10) = 1100

Let S = (0, 2) – ${\frac{π}{2}, \frac{3 π}{4}, \frac{3 π}{2}, \frac{7 π}{4}} .$ Let y = y(x), $x \in S,$ be the solution curve of the differential equation $\frac{d y}{d x} = \frac{1}{1 + s i n 2 x}, y (\frac{π}{4}) = \frac{1}{2} .$ If the sum of abscissas of all the points of intersection of the curve y = y(x) with the curve $y = \sqrt[]{2} s i n x i s \frac{k π}{12},$ then k is equal to

$\frac{d y}{d x} = \frac{1}{1 + s i n 2 x}$

$d y = \frac{s e c^{2} x d x}{{(1 + t a n x)}^{2}}$

$\Rightarrow y = - \frac{1}{1 + t a n x} + c$

When

$x = \frac{π}{4}, y = \frac{1}{2}$ gives c = 1

$x + \frac{π}{4} = \frac{5 π}{6} o r \frac{13 π}{6} \Rightarrow x = \frac{7 π}{12} o r \frac{23 π}{12}$

sum of all solutions =

$π + \frac{7 π}{12} + \frac{23 π}{12} = \frac{42 π}{12}$

Hence k = 42
