Dogs can distinguish the scent of individuals, both dogs and people. They can tell the difference between individual family members purely by smell. Dogs can tell from sniffing a tree or lamppost when a dog has passed who it is and what status they have, male or female top dog or not. Dogs do not appear to distinguish between the regions of the human body that they sniff.

The passage below is accompanied by a set of questions. Choose the best answer to each question.

The work by Corry Gellatly, a research scientist at the university, has shown that men inherit a tendency to have more sons or more daughters from their parents. This means that a man with many brothers is more likely to have sons, while a man with many sisters is more likely to have daughters.
In many of the countries that fought in the World Wars, there was a sudden increase in the number of boys born afterwards. The year after World War I ended, an extra two boys were born for every 100 girls in the UK, compared to the year before the war

If the line y = mx bisects the area enclosed by the lines x = 0, y = 0, $x = \frac{3}{2}$ and the curve y = 1 + 4x – x², then 12 m is equal to _________.

$\frac{1}{2} \int_{0}^{3 / 2} (1 + 4 x - x^{2}) d x$

$= \frac{1}{2} {[x + 2 x^{2} - \frac{x^{3}}{3}]}_{0}^{3 / 2} = \frac{39}{8}$

$\int_{0}^{3 / 2} m x = \frac{9 m}{8}$

(as per question)

$\Rightarrow \frac{39}{8} = \frac{9 m}{4}$

$m = \frac{39}{18}$

12m = 26

I learned that unhappy minds tend to wander into the past, while happy minds often ponder the future. I also became convinced that wandering among our memories is crucial to helping prepare us for what is yet to come. Though some kinds of mind wandering, such as dwelling on problems that cannot be fixed, may be associated with depression, I now believe mind wandering is rarely a waste of time.

If $\int \frac{s i n x}{s i n^{3} x + c o s^{3} x} d x = α l o g_{e} | 1 + t a n x | + β l o g_{e} | 1 - t a n x + t a n^{2} x | + γ t a n^{- 1} (\frac{2 t a n x - 1}{\sqrt[]{3}}) + C,$ when C is constant of integration, then the value of 18 $(α + β + γ^{2})$ is _________.

$\int \frac{s i n x}{s i n^{3} x + c o s^{3} x} d x$

$I = \int \frac{t a n x s e c^{2} x}{t a n^{3} x + 1} d x$

Let, tan x = t

sec² xdx = dt

$\int \frac{t d t}{t^{3} + 1} = \int \frac{t}{(t + 1) (t^{2} - t + 1)} d t$

$\frac{t}{(t + 1) (t^{2} - t + 1)} = \frac{A}{(t + 1)} + \frac{B t + c}{t^{2} - t + 1}$

$l = \frac{- 1}{3} \int \frac{1}{t + 1} d t + \frac{1}{3} \int \frac{t + 1}{t^{2} - t + 1} d t$

The value of 18 $(α + β + γ^{2})$ is equal to 3.

Let f(x) be a cubic polynomial with f(1) = -10, f(-1) = 6, and has a local, minima at x = 1, and f'(x) has a local minima at x = -1. Then f(3) is equal to _______.

$f (x) = a x^{3} + b x^{2} + c x + d$

$f' (x) = 3 a x^{2} + 2 b x + c$

$f'' (x) = 6 a x + 2 b$

$f'' (- 1) = 0$

-6a + 2b = 0

=> b = 3a

$f' (1) = 0$

-5 + d = -10 . (i)

f (-1) = 6

11a + d = 6 . (ii)

$a = 1, d = - 5, b = 3, c = - 9$

$f (3) = 27 + 27 - 27 - 5 = 22$
