\displaystyle \textbf{1: } \text{Differential of } \log [\log ( \log x^5) ] \text{ w.r.t. } x \text{ is }    

\displaystyle (a) \  \frac{5}{x \log ( x^5) \log ( \log x^5)} \hspace{1.0cm} (b) \ \frac{5}{x \log ( \log x^5) } \hspace{1.0cm} \\ \\ (c) \ \frac{5x^4}{\log (x^5) \log ( \log x^5)} \hspace{1.4cm}(d) \ \frac{5x^4}{\log x^5 \log (\log x^5) }  

Answer:

\fbox{  a } 

\displaystyle \text{Let } y = \log [\log ( \log x^5) ]

\displaystyle \text{Differentiate w.r.t. } x

\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{\log ( \log x^5)} \times \frac{dy}{dx} \log ( \log x^5)

\displaystyle = \frac{1}{\log ( \log x^5)} \times \frac{1}{\log x^5} \times \frac{dy}{dx} \log x^5 

\displaystyle = \frac{1}{\log ( \log x^5)} \times \frac{1}{\log x^5} \times 5 \frac{dy}{dx} \log x 

\displaystyle = \frac{1}{\log ( \log x^5)} \times \frac{1}{\log x^5} \times \frac{5}{x}

\displaystyle = \frac{5}{x \log x^5 \log ( \log x^5)}

\\

\displaystyle \textbf{2: } \text{The number of all possible matrices of order } 2 \times 3 \text{ with each entry } 1 \text{ or } 2 \text{ is }    

\displaystyle (a) \  16 \hspace{1.0cm} (b) \  6 \hspace{1.0cm}(c) \ 64 \hspace{1.0cm}(d) \ 24   

Answer:

\fbox{ c  } 

\displaystyle \text{Let the matrix be } \begin{bmatrix} a_{11} & a_{12} & a_{13} \\ a_{21} & a_{22} & a_{23} \end{bmatrix}_{2 \times 3}

\displaystyle \text{The given matrix of order } 2 \times 3 \text{ has 6 elements and each of these elements can either } \\ \text{be 1 or 2. }

\displaystyle \text{Then the 6 elements can be filled in two possible ways. Therefore by multiplication} \\ \text{principle }

\displaystyle \text{No. of possible matrices } 2^{2 \times 3} = 2^6 = 64

\\

\displaystyle \textbf{3: }  \text{The function } f: R \rightarrow R \text{ is defined as } f(x) = x^3 + 1 . \text{ Then the function has }    

\displaystyle (a) \ \text{no minimum value}   \hspace{1.0cm} \\ (b) \ \text{no maximum value} \hspace{1.0cm} \\ (c) \ \text{both maximum and minimum value } \hspace{1.0cm} \\ (d) \ \text{neither maximum value nor minimum value }   

Answer:

\fbox{ d  } 

\displaystyle \text{Given that } f(x) = x^3 + 1

\displaystyle \text{Then } f'(x) = 3x^2

\displaystyle \text{For critical point we have }

\displaystyle 3x^2 = 0 \Rightarrow x = 0

\displaystyle \text{Now } II^{nd} \text{ derivative test at point } x = 0, \text{ we have }

\displaystyle f''(x) = 6x

\displaystyle f''(x)\Big|_{x=0 }= 6 \times 0 = 0

\displaystyle \text{Zero is neither positive not negative. } \\ \text{Therefore function has neither maximum value not minimum value. }

\\

\displaystyle \textbf{4: } \text{If } \sin y = x \cos ( a+y) , \text{ then } \frac{dy}{dx} \text{ is }      

\displaystyle (a) \  \frac{\cos a}{\cos^2 (a+y)} \hspace{1.0cm} (b) \ \frac{-\cos a}{\cos^2 (a+y)} \hspace{1.0cm}(c) \ \frac{\cos a}{\sin^2 y} \hspace{1.0cm}(d) \ \frac{-\cos a}{\sin^2 y}   

Answer:

\fbox{ a  } 

\displaystyle \sin y = x \cos ( a+y)

\displaystyle \Rightarrow x = \frac{\sin y}{\cos (a+y)}

\displaystyle \text{Differentiate both sides w.r.t. } y

\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}= \frac{\cos (a+y) \frac{d}{dy} \sin y - \sin y \frac{d}{dy} \cos (a+y)}{[ \cos (a+y) ]^2}

\displaystyle = \frac{\cos (a+y) \cos y - \sin y [-\sin (a+y)]}{[ \cos (a+y) ]^2}

\displaystyle = \frac{\cos (a+y) \cos y + \sin y \sin (a+y)}{\cos^2 (a+y) }

\displaystyle = \frac{\cos( a+y-y)}{\cos^2 (a+y) }

\displaystyle = \frac{\cos a}{\cos^2 (a+y) }

\\

\displaystyle \textbf{5: } \text{The points on the curve } \frac{x^2}{9}+\frac{y^2}{25} = 1 , \text{ where tangent is parallel to x-axis are }    

\displaystyle (a) \  (\pm 5, 0) \hspace{1.0cm} (b) \ (0, \pm 5)  \hspace{1.0cm}(c) \ (0, \pm, 3) \hspace{1.0cm}(d) \ (\pm 3, 0)   

Answer:

\fbox{  b } 

\displaystyle \text{Given curve }

\displaystyle \frac{x^2}{9}+\frac{y^2}{25} = 1 \ldots \ldots (i)

\displaystyle \Rightarrow \frac{y^2}{25} = 1 - \frac{x^2}{9}

\displaystyle \text{Differentiate both sides, we have }

\displaystyle \frac{1}{25} . 2y \frac{dy}{dx} = - \frac{2x}{9}

\displaystyle \Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx} = - \frac{2x}{9} \times \frac{25}{2y} = -\frac{25x}{9y}

\displaystyle \text{Since tangent is parallel to x-axis }

\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = 0 \Rightarrow - \frac{25}{9y} = 0 \Rightarrow x = 0

\displaystyle \text{Putting } x = 0 \text{ in equation (i) we get  }

\displaystyle \frac{y^2}{25} = 1 \Rightarrow y^2 = 25 \Rightarrow y = \pm 5

\displaystyle \text{Therefore the required points are (0, 5) and (0, -5) }

\\

\displaystyle \textbf{6: }  \text{Three points } P(2x, x+3), Q(0, x) \text{ and } R(x+3, x+6) \text{ are collinear, then } x \text{ is equal to }   

\displaystyle (a) \  0 \hspace{1.0cm} (b) \ 2 \hspace{1.0cm}(c) \ 3 \hspace{1.0cm}(d) \ 1   

Answer:

\fbox{ c  } 

\displaystyle \text{If } P(2x, x+3), Q(0, x) \text{ and } R(x+3, x+6) \text{ are collinear then the area of the } \triangle \text{ will be zero. }

\displaystyle \text{Area of }\triangle = \frac{1}{2} [ x_1 ( y_2-y_3) + x_2(y_3 - y_1) + x_3( y_1-y_2) ]

\displaystyle = \frac{1}{2} [ 2x(x-x-3) + 0(x+6-x-3) + (x+3)(x+3 - x) ]

\displaystyle = \frac{1}{2} [ -6x+ 3x+9]

\displaystyle = \frac{1}{2} [9 - 3x]

\displaystyle \text{Since the points are collinear we have } 9-3x=0 \Rightarrow x = 3

\\

\displaystyle \textbf{7: } \text{The principal value of } \cos^{-1} \Big( \frac{1}{2} \Big) + \sin^{-1} \Big( - \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \Big) \text{ is }    

\displaystyle (a) \  \frac{\pi}{12} \hspace{1.0cm} (b) \ \pi \hspace{1.0cm}(c) \ \frac{\pi}{3} \hspace{1.0cm}(d) \  \frac{\pi}{6}  

Answer:

\fbox{ a  } 

\displaystyle \cos^{-1} \Big( \frac{1}{2} \Big) + \sin^{-1} \Big( - \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \Big)

\displaystyle = \cos^{-1} \Big( \cos \frac{\pi}{3} \Big) - \sin^{-1} \Big(  \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \Big)

\displaystyle = \cos^{-1} \Big( \cos \frac{\pi}{3} \Big) - \sin^{-1} \Big(\sin \frac{\pi}{4} \Big)

\displaystyle = \frac{\pi}{3} - \frac{\pi}{4}

\displaystyle = \frac{\pi}{12}

\\

\displaystyle \textbf{8: }  \text{If } (x^2+y^2)^2 = xy, \text{ then } \frac{dy}{dx} \text{ is }    

\displaystyle (a) \  \frac{y + 4x ( x^2 + y^2)}{4y(x^2+y^2) - x} \hspace{1.0cm} (b) \ \frac{y - 4x ( x^2 + y^2)}{x + 4 ( x^2 + y^2)} \hspace{1.0cm} \\ \\ \\ (c) \ \frac{y - 4x ( x^2 + y^2)}{4y(x^2+y^2) - x} \hspace{1.0cm}(d) \ \frac{4y(x^2+y^2)-x}{y - 4x ( x^2 + y^2)}   

Answer:

\fbox{ c  } 

\displaystyle (x^2+y^2)^2 = xy

\displaystyle \Rightarrow x^4 + y^4 + 2x^2 y^2 = xy

\displaystyle \text{Differentiating on both sides w.r.t. } x

\displaystyle 4x^3 + 4y^3 \frac{dy}{dx} + 2 \Bigg[ x^2 . 2y \frac{dy}{dx} + y^2.2x \Bigg] = x \frac{dy}{dx} + y

\displaystyle \Rightarrow 4x^3 + 4y^3 \frac{dy}{dx} + 4x^2 . y \frac{dy}{dx} + 4xy^2 = x \frac{dy}{dx} + y

\displaystyle \Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx} ( 4y^3 + 4x^2 y - x) = y - 4x^3 - 4xy^2

\displaystyle \Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{y - 4x^3 - 4xy^2}{4y^3 + 4x^2 y - x}

\displaystyle \Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{y-4x(x^2+y^2)}{4y(x^2+y^2) - x}

\\

\displaystyle \textbf{9: } \text{If a matrix A is both symmetric and skew symmetric, then A is necessarily a}    

\displaystyle (a) \ \text{Diagonal matrix}  \hspace{1.0cm} (b) \ \text{Zero square matrix} \hspace{1.0cm} \\ (c) \ \text{Square matrix}  \hspace{1.4cm}(d) \ \text{Identity matrix}   

Answer:

\fbox{ b  } 

\displaystyle \text{Given that matrix A is both symmetric and skew symmetric }

\displaystyle \text{i.e. } A' = A \text{ and } A' = - 1

\displaystyle \text{From above we get } \\ \\ A = - A \Rightarrow 2A = 0 \Rightarrow A = 0

\displaystyle \text{Therefore A is a zero matrix. }

\\

\displaystyle \textbf{10: } \text{Let set } X = \{ 1, 2, 3  \} \text{ and a relation } R \text{ is defined in } X \text{ as: } R = \{ (1, 3), (2, 2), (3, 2) \}, \\ \text{ then minimum ordered pairs which should be added in relation } R \text{ to make it reflexive} \\ \text{and symmetric are }    

\displaystyle (a) \ \{  (1, 1), (2, 3), (1, 2) \}   \hspace{2.0cm} (b) \ \{  (3, 3), (3, 1), (1, 2)   \}  \hspace{1.0cm}\\ \\ (c) \ \{  (1, 1), (3, 3), (3, 1), (2, 3) \}  \hspace{1.0cm}(d) \  \{  (1, 1), (3, 3), (3, 1), (1, 2) \}   

Answer:

\fbox{  c } 

\displaystyle \text{Given that set } X = \{ 1, 2, 3  \}

\displaystyle R \text{ is reflexive since } (1, 1), (2, 2) \text{ and } ( 3, 3) \text{ lie in } R.

\displaystyle \text{Also, } R \text{ is symmetric if }

\displaystyle (1, 3) \in X \Rightarrow (3, 1) \in X \Rightarrow (3, 2) \in X \Rightarrow (2, 3) \in X

\displaystyle \text{Therefore } R = \{ (1,1), (2,2), (3,3), (1, 3), (3, 1), ( 3,2 ), (2, 3) \}

\\

\displaystyle \textbf{11: }  \text{A linear programing problem is as follows:} \\ \text{Minimize} \hspace{3.5cm} Z = 2x+ y \\ \text{Subject to the constraints } \ \ \ x \geq 3, \ \  x \leq 9, \ \ y \geq 0, x-y \geq 0 , \ \ x+y \leq 14  

The feasible region has

\displaystyle (a) \ \text{5 corner points including } (0, 0 ) \text{ and } (9, 5)  \\ (b) \ \text{5 corner points including } (7, 7 ) \text{ and } (3, 3) \\ (c) \ \text{5 corner points including } (14, 0 ) \text{ and } (9, 0) \\ (d) \ \text{5 corner points including } (3, 0 ) \text{ and } (9, 5)   

Answer:

\fbox{ b  } 

\displaystyle \text{Objective function: } Z = 2x+ y

\displaystyle \text{Constraints: } x \geq 3, \ \  x \leq 9, \ \ y \geq 0, x-y \geq 0 , \ \ x+y \leq 14

Consider the line

\displaystyle x-y = 0 \ldots \ldots (i)

\displaystyle x+y = 14 \ldots \ldots (ii)

\displaystyle \begin{array}{ |c|c|c|c|} \hline   x & 0 & 1 & 2 \\ \hline  y & 0 & 1 & 2 \\ \hline \end{array}  \ \ \ \begin{array}{ |c|c|c|} \hline   x & 0 & 14 \\ \hline  y & 14 & 0  \\ \hline \end{array} 

\displaystyle \text{From equation (i) and equation (ii) we get } x = 7 \text{ and } y = 7

\displaystyle \text{Therefore feasible region has five corners, } \text{ (3, 0), (9, 0), (9, 5), (7, 7) } \text{ and } (3, 3) \\ \text{respectively. }

\displaystyle \textbf{12: } \text{The function } f(x) = \Bigg\{ \begin{array}{cc}  \frac{e^{3x}  -e^{-5x}}{x},  & \text{if } x \neq 0 \\ & \\ k, & \text{if } x= 0   \end{array} \ \ \ \text{is continuous at } x=0 \\ \text{ for the value of } k, \text{ is }     

\displaystyle (a) \ 3  \hspace{1.0cm} (b) \ 5 \hspace{1.0cm}(c) \ 2 \hspace{1.0cm}(d) \ 8   

Answer:

\fbox{ d  } 

\displaystyle f(x) = \Bigg\{ \begin{array}{cc}  \frac{e^{3x}  -e^{-5x}}{x},  & \text{if } x \neq 0 \\ & \\ k, & \text{if } x= 0   \end{array}

\displaystyle \text{Given that } f(0) = k

\displaystyle \text{Also given that function is continuous at } x=0

\displaystyle \text{Therefore, RHL } = f(0)^+ \Rightarrow \lim \limits_{x\to 0^+} \frac{e^{3x} -e^{-5x}}{x} \Rightarrow \frac{1-1}{0} = \frac{0}{0}

\displaystyle \lim \limits_{x\to 0^+} \frac{e^{3x}  -e^{-5x}}{x} = \lim \limits_{x\to 0^+} \Bigg( 3 \Big\{ \frac{e^{3x}  -1}{3x} \Big\} - 5 \Big\{ \frac{e^{-5x}  -1}{(-5x)}  \Big\}\Bigg) = 3 \times 1 + 5 \times 1 = 8

\displaystyle \text{Therefore } k = 8

\displaystyle \textbf{13: } \text{If } C_y \text{ denotes the cofactor of the element } p_{ij} \text{ of the matrix } p = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1 & 2 \\ 0 & 2 & -3 \\ 3 & 2 & 4 \end{bmatrix} , \\ \text{ then the value of } C_{31} . C_{23} \text{ is }  

\displaystyle (a) \  5 \hspace{1.0cm} (b) \ 24 \hspace{1.0cm}(c) \ -24 \hspace{1.0cm}(d) \ 5   

Answer:

\fbox{ a  } 

\displaystyle \text{Given matrix,  } p = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & -1 & 2 \\ 0 & 2 & -3 \\ 3 & 2 & 4 \end{bmatrix}

\displaystyle \text{Now, cofactor, } C_{31} = (-1)^{3+1} \begin{vmatrix} -1 & 2 \\ 2 & -3 \end{vmatrix} = 1 ( 3-4) = -1

\displaystyle \text{and, cofactor, } C_{23} = (-1)^{2+3} \begin{vmatrix} 1 & -1 \\ 3 & 2 \end{vmatrix} = -1 ( 2+3) = -5

\displaystyle \text{Therefore  } C_{31} \times C_{23} = (-1) \times (-5) = 5

\displaystyle \textbf{14: } \text{The function } y=x^2 e^{-x} \text{ is decreasing in the interval }     

\displaystyle (a) \ (0, 2)  \hspace{1.0cm} (b) \ (2, \infty )  \hspace{1.0cm}(c) \ (- \infty  , 0) \hspace{1.0cm}(d) \  (- \infty , 0) \cup (2, \infty)  

Answer:

\fbox{ d  } 

\displaystyle y = x^2 e^{-x}

\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = x^2 (- e^{-x}) + e^{-x} (2x) = -x^2 e^{-x} + 2x e^{-x}

\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = e^{-x} x (2 - x)

\displaystyle \text{For decreasing}

\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}  < 0

\displaystyle e^{-x} x (2 - x) < 0

\displaystyle e^{-x} \text{ is always positive for } \forall x \in R

\displaystyle \text{For } x(2-x) = 0 \Rightarrow x = 0 \text{ or } x = 2

\displaystyle \text{Therefore, the point } x = 0 \text{ and } x = 2 \text{ divide the real line into three disjoint intervals. }

\displaystyle \text{For } -\infty < x < 0, \frac{dy}{dx} = (-)(+) = (-) [\text{ negative }]

\displaystyle \text{For } 0 < x < 2, \frac{dy}{dx} = (+)(+) = (+) [\text{ positive }]

\displaystyle \text{For } 2 < x < \infty, \frac{dy}{dx} = (+)(-) = (-) [\text{ negative }]

\displaystyle \text{Therefore function is decreasing in the interval } (-\infty , 0) \cup (2, \infty)

\\

\displaystyle \textbf{15: } \text{If } R = \{ (x, y): x, y \in Z,  \ \ x^2+y^2 \leq 4 \} \text{ is a relation in set } Z,  \text{ then domain of } R \text{ is }      

\displaystyle (a) \ \{ 0, 1, 2 \}  \hspace{1.0cm} (b) \ \{ -2, -1, 0, 1, 2  \} \hspace{1.0cm}(c) \ \{ 0, -1, -2 \} \hspace{1.0cm}(d) \ \{ -1, 0, 1 \}   

Answer:

\fbox{ b  } 

\displaystyle \text{We have } R = \{ (x, y): x, y \in Z,  x^2+y^2 \leq 4 \}

\displaystyle \text{When } x = 0

\displaystyle x^2 + y^2 \leq 4 \Rightarrow y^2 \leq 4 \Rightarrow  y = 0, \pm 1, \pm 2

\displaystyle \text{When } x = \pm 1

\displaystyle x^2 + y^2 \leq 4 \Rightarrow 1 + y^2 \leq 4 \Rightarrow  y^2 \leq 3 \Rightarrow y = 0,  \pm 1

\displaystyle \text{When } x = \pm 2

\displaystyle x^2 + y^2 \leq 4 \Rightarrow 4+ y^2 \leq 4 \Rightarrow  y^2 \leq 0 \Rightarrow y = 0

\displaystyle \text{Therefore } \\ R = \{ (0, 0), (0, -1), (0, 1), (0, -2), (0, 2), (-1, 0), (1, 0), (1, 1), (-1, 1), (-1, -1), (2, 0), (-2, 0) \}

\displaystyle \text{Hence, Domain of } R= \{ x : (x, y) \in R \} = \{ 0, -1, 1, -2, 2 \}

\displaystyle \textbf{16: } \text{The system of linear equations } 5x+ky = 5, 3x+3y=5 \text{ will be consistent }     

\displaystyle (a) \ k \neq -1  \hspace{1.0cm} (b) \ k = - 5 \hspace{1.0cm}(c) \ k = 5 \hspace{1.0cm}(d) \  k \neq 5  

Answer:

\fbox{  d } 

Given, 

\displaystyle 5x+ky = 5 \ldots \ldots (i)

\displaystyle 3x+3y=5  \ldots \ldots (ii)

\displaystyle \text{By rule of consistency } \frac{5}{3}\neq \frac{k}{3}

\displaystyle 3k \neq 15 \Rightarrow k \neq 5

\displaystyle \textbf{17: } \text{The equation of the tangent to the curve } y ( 1 + x^2) = 2-x, \text{ where it cross the} \\ \text{ x-axis is }    

\displaystyle (a) \  x-5y=2 \hspace{1.0cm} (b) \ 5x-y=2 \hspace{1.0cm}(c) \ x+5y=2 \hspace{1.0cm}(d) \ 5x+y=2   

Answer:

\fbox{  c } 

\displaystyle \text{Equation of the curve:  } y ( 1 + x^2) = 2-x

\displaystyle \text{Curve crosses the x axis which means y coordinate is 0. }

\displaystyle \text{Hence, } (1+x^2)  \times 0 = 2- x  \Rightarrow 0 = 2 - x \Rightarrow x = 2

\displaystyle \text{Therefore, the curve passes through the point } (2, 0).

\displaystyle \text{Equation of the curve, }

\displaystyle y(1+x^2) = 2 - x

\displaystyle y + y x^2 = 2 - x

\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} + x^2 \frac{dy}{dx} + y . 2x = - 1

\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} ( 1 + x^2) = - ( 1 + 2xy) \Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-(1+2xy)}{1+x^2}

\displaystyle \text{Slope at point } (2, 0)

\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} \Bigg]_{(2, 0)} = \frac{-(1+ 2 \times 2 \times 0)}{1 + (2)^2} \Rightarrow -\frac{1}{1+4}

\displaystyle \text{or  } \frac{dy}{dx} \Bigg]_{(2, 0)} = - \frac{1}{5}

\displaystyle \text{Equation of tangent }

\displaystyle y - y_1 = \frac{dy}{dx} \Bigg]_{(2, 0)} (x - x_1) \Rightarrow y - 0 = - \frac{1}{5} (x-2)

\displaystyle 5y = - x + 2

\displaystyle \text{or } x + 5y = 2

\\

\displaystyle \textbf{18: } \text{If } \begin{bmatrix} 3c+6 & a-d \\ a+d & 2-3b  \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 12 & 2 \\ -8 &-4  \end{bmatrix}  \text{ are equal then the value of } ab - cd \text{ is }   

\displaystyle (a) \ 4  \hspace{1.0cm} (b) \ 16  \hspace{1.0cm}(c) \ -4 \hspace{1.0cm}(d) \ -16   

Answer:

\fbox{ a  } 

\displaystyle \begin{bmatrix} 3c+6 & a-d \\ a+d & 2-3b  \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 12 & 2 \\ -8 &-4  \end{bmatrix}

By equality of property of matrix

\displaystyle 3c+6 = 12 \ldots \ldots (i)

\displaystyle a-d=2  \ldots \ldots (ii)

\displaystyle a+d=-8  \ldots \ldots (iii)

\displaystyle 2-3b=-4  \ldots \ldots (iv)

\displaystyle \text{From equation (i) } c = 2

\displaystyle \text{From equation (ii)  and equation (iii) } a = - 3 \text{ and } d = - 5

\displaystyle \text{From equation (iv) } b = 2

\displaystyle \text{Therefore, } ab - cd = ( -3)(2) - (2)(- 5) = - 6 + 0 = 4

\displaystyle \textbf{19: }  \text{The principal value of } \tan^{-1} \Big( \tan \frac{9\pi}{8} \Big) \text{ is }  

\displaystyle (a) \ \frac{\pi}{8}  \hspace{1.0cm} (b) \ \frac{3\pi}{8} \hspace{1.0cm}(c) \ -\frac{\pi}{8} \hspace{1.0cm}(d) \  -\frac{3\pi}{8}  

Answer:

\fbox{ a  } 

\displaystyle \tan^{-1} \Big( \tan \frac{9\pi}{8} \Big) = \tan^{-1} \Bigg[ \tan \Big( \pi + \frac{\pi}{8} \Big) \Bigg] = \tan^{-1} \Bigg[ \tan \frac{\pi}{8} \Bigg] = \frac{\pi}{8}

Answer:

\fbox{ b  } 

\displaystyle \text{Transpose of } (Q^T) = \begin{bmatrix} -1 & 2 & 1 \\ 1 &2 & 3   \end{bmatrix}^T

\displaystyle \therefore Q = \begin{bmatrix} -1 & 1 \\ 2 & 2 \\ 1 & 3   \end{bmatrix}

\displaystyle \text{Therefore } P - Q =  \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 4 \\ -1 & 2 \\ 0 & 1  \end{bmatrix} - \begin{bmatrix} -1 & 1 \\ 2 & 2 \\ 1 & 3   \end{bmatrix}  \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix} 4 & 3 \\ -3 & 0 \\ -1 & -2  \end{bmatrix}

\displaystyle \textbf{21: } \text{The function } f(x) = 2x^3- 15x^2 + 36x + 6 \text{ is increasing in the interval }    

\displaystyle (a) \ (-\infty , 2) \cup ( 3, \infty) \hspace{1.0cm} (b) \ (-\infty, 2) \hspace{1.0cm}(c) \ (-\infty, 2] \cup [3, \infty) \hspace{1.0cm}(d) \ [3, \infty)   

Answer:

\fbox{  c } 

\displaystyle f(x) = 2x^3 - 15 x^2 + 36 x + 6

\displaystyle f'(x) = 6x^2 - 30x+ 36

\displaystyle \text{For increasing } f'(x) \geq 0

\displaystyle 6x^2 - 30x+ 36 \geq 0

\displaystyle \Rightarrow 6 [ x^2 - 5x + 6] \geq 0

\displaystyle \Rightarrow 6 [ x^2 - 3x - 2x + 6] \geq 0

\displaystyle \Rightarrow 6 [ (x-2)(x-3)] \geq 0

\displaystyle \text{When } x \leq 2, f'(x) \text{ is +ve }

\displaystyle \text{When } x \geq 3, f'(x) \text{ is +ve }

\displaystyle \text{Therefore, for increasing. Interval is } (-\infty, 2] \cup [3, \infty )

\\

\displaystyle \textbf{22: } \text{If } x = 2 \cos \theta - \cos 2\theta \text{ and } y = 2 \sin \theta - \sin 2\theta, \text{ then } \frac{dy}{dx} \text{ is }   

\displaystyle (a) \ \frac{\cos \theta + \cos 2\theta}{\sin \theta - \sin 2\theta}  \hspace{1.0cm} (b) \ \frac{\cos \theta - \cos 2\theta}{\sin 2\theta - \sin \theta}  \hspace{1.0cm} \\ \\ (c) \ \frac{\cos \theta - \cos 2\theta}{\sin \theta - \sin 2\theta} \frac{}{} \hspace{1.0cm}(d) \ \frac{\cos 2\theta - \cos \theta}{\sin 2\theta + \sin \theta} \frac{}{}  

Answer:

\fbox{  b } 

\displaystyle x = 2 \cos \theta - \cos 2\theta 

\displaystyle \text{Differentiating both sides w.r.t. } \theta 

\displaystyle \frac{dx}{d \theta} = 2(- \sin \theta) - ( - \sin 2 \theta . 2)  = - 2 \sin \theta + 2 \sin 2 \theta = 2 \sin 2 \theta - 2 \sin \theta 

\displaystyle \text{Now, } y = 2 \sin \theta - \sin 2\theta 

\displaystyle \frac{dy}{d \theta} = 2 \cos \theta - \cos 2 \theta . 2 = 2 \cos \theta - 2 \cos 2 \theta 

\displaystyle \text{Therefore } \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\frac{dy}{d \theta}}{\frac{dx}{d \theta}} = \frac{2 \cos \theta - 2 \cos 2 \theta}{2 \sin 2 \theta - 2 \sin \theta} 

\displaystyle \Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\cos \theta - \cos 2 \theta}{\sin 2 \theta - \sin \theta}

Answer:

\fbox{ d  } 

\displaystyle \text{We know that domain of } \cos^{-1} x \text{ is } [-1, 1]

\displaystyle \text{For domain of } \cos^{-1} (2x-3) \text{ is the set of all values of x which satisfy }

\displaystyle -1 \leq 2x-3 \leq 1

\displaystyle -1 + 3 \leq 2x-3 + 3 \leq 1 + 3

\displaystyle \text{add 3 in equality }

\displaystyle 2 \leq 2x \leq 4

\displaystyle \text{or } 1 \leq x \leq 2

\displaystyle \text{Hence the domain of } \cos^{-1} (2x-3) \text{ is } [1, 2]

\displaystyle \textbf{24: } \text{A matrix } A = [a_{ij}]_{3 \times 3} \text{ is defined by } a_{ij} = \Bigg\{ \begin{array}{cc} 2i+3j, & i < j \\5, & i = j \\3i-2j, & i > j \end{array} \\ \text{The number of elements in A which are more than 5, is }   

\displaystyle (a) \ 3  \hspace{1.0cm} (b) \ 4 \hspace{1.0cm}(c) \ 5 \hspace{1.0cm}(d) \ 6   

Answer:

\fbox{ b  } 

\displaystyle A = [a_{ij}]_{3 \times 3} \Rightarrow  \begin{bmatrix}  a_{11} &  a_{12} & a_{13} \\ a_{21} &  a_{22} & a_{23} \\ a_{31} &  a_{32} & a_{33} \end{bmatrix}

\displaystyle \text{Given, } a_{ij} = \Bigg\{ \begin{array}{cc} 2i+3j, & i < j \\5, & i = j \\3i-2j, & i > j  \end{array}

From the defined condition for elements, we have

\displaystyle a_{11} \ \ \ (i=j) \hspace{0.5cm} \Rightarrow a_{11}=5

\displaystyle a_{12} \ \ \ (i < j) \hspace{0.5cm} \Rightarrow a_{12} = 2 \times 1 + 3 \times 2 =8

\displaystyle a_{13} \ \ \ (i < j) \hspace{0.5cm} \Rightarrow a_{13} = 2 \times 1 + 3 \times 3 =11

\displaystyle a_{21} \ \ \ (i > j) \hspace{0.5cm} \Rightarrow a_{21} = 3 \times 2 - 2 \times 1 =4

\displaystyle a_{22} \ \ \ (i=j) \hspace{0.5cm} \Rightarrow a_{22}=5

\displaystyle a_{23} \ \ \ (i < j) \hspace{0.5cm} \Rightarrow a_{23} = 2 \times 2 + 3 \times 3 =13

\displaystyle a_{31} \ \ \ (i > j) \hspace{0.5cm} \Rightarrow a_{31} = 3 \times 3 - 2 \times 1 =7

\displaystyle a_{32} \ \ \ (i > j) \hspace{0.5cm} \Rightarrow a_{32} = 3 \times 3 - 2 \times 2 =5

\displaystyle a_{33} \ \ \ (i=j) \hspace{0.5cm} \Rightarrow a_{33}=5

\displaystyle \text{Therefore } A = \begin{bmatrix} 5 & 8 & 11 \\ 4 & 5 & 13 \\ 7 & 5 & 5 \end{bmatrix}

\displaystyle \text{Hence, 4 elements are in A which are more than 5. }

\displaystyle (a) \ 2  \hspace{1.0cm} (b) \ 3 \hspace{1.0cm}(c) \ 6 \hspace{1.0cm}(d) \ -6   

Answer:

\fbox{ c  } 

\displaystyle f(x) = \Bigg\{ \begin{array}{cc} \frac{k \cos x}{\pi - 2x}, & \text{ if } x \neq \frac{\pi}{2} \\ & \\3, & \text{ if } x = \frac{\pi}{2}  \end{array}

\displaystyle \text{Given: } f \Big(\frac{\pi}{2} \Big) = 3

\displaystyle \text{Function is continuous at } x = \frac{\pi}{2}, \text{ so }

\displaystyle \text{LHL = RHL = } f \Big(\frac{\pi}{2} \Big)

\displaystyle \text{Now, LHL } \Rightarrow \lim \limits_{x \to \frac{\pi^-}{2}} \frac{k \cos x}{\pi - 2x}

\displaystyle \text{Put } x = \Big( \frac{\pi}{2} -h\Big)

\displaystyle \lim \limits_{h \to 0} \frac{k \cos \Big( \frac{\pi}{2} -h\Big)}{\pi - 2\Big( \frac{\pi}{2} -h\Big)}

\displaystyle \Rightarrow \lim \limits_{h \to 0}  \frac{k \sin h}{\pi - \pi + 2h }

\displaystyle = \lim \limits_{h \to 0} \frac{k}{2} \ \frac{ \sin h}{h }

\displaystyle = \frac{k}{2}

\displaystyle \text{Now, RHL } \Rightarrow \lim \limits_{x \to \frac{\pi^+}{2}} \frac{k \cos x}{\pi - 2x} 

\displaystyle \text{Put } x = \Big( \frac{\pi}{2} +h\Big)

\displaystyle \lim \limits_{h \to 0} \frac{k \cos \Big( \frac{\pi}{2} +h\Big)}{\pi - 2\Big( \frac{\pi}{2} +h\Big)}

\displaystyle \Rightarrow \lim \limits_{h \to 0}  \frac{k \sin h}{-2h }

\displaystyle = \frac{k}{2}

\displaystyle \text{Hence } k = 3

Answer:

\fbox{ a  } 

\displaystyle X =  \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 0  & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & 1  \end{bmatrix}

\displaystyle X^2 = X.X = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 0  & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & 1  \end{bmatrix} . \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 0  & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & 1  \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 2  & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}

\displaystyle Now, X^2 - X = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 2  & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix} - \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 0  & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & 1  \end{bmatrix} = 2\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0& 1  & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1  \end{bmatrix} = 2I

Answer:

\fbox{ d  } 

\displaystyle \text{Let } f(x_1) = f(x_2)

\displaystyle \Rightarrow {x_1}^2= {x_2}^2

\displaystyle \Rightarrow x_1= x_2

\displaystyle \therefore f(x)  \text{ is invective }

\displaystyle \because f:N \rightarrow X

\displaystyle \text{Angle range of }

\displaystyle f(x) = x^2, x \in N \text{ is } X

\displaystyle \therefore \text{ Range }= \text{ codomain }

\displaystyle \text{Hence, it is surjective also. }

\displaystyle \text{Hence, it is bijective. }

\displaystyle \begin{array}{ |c|c|} \hline   \text{Coner Points} & \text{Objective Function } Z = 2x + 5y\\ \hline  P(0, 5)  & Z=2 \times 0+5 \times 5 = 0 + 25 = 25 \\ \hline  Q(1, 5) & Z=2 \times 1+5 \times 5 = 1 + 25 = 27 \\ \hline   R(4, 2)& Z=2 \times 4+5 \times 2 = 8 + 10 = 18\\ \hline  S(12, 0) & Z=2 \times 12+5 \times 0 = 24 + 0 = 24 \\ \hline    \end{array}

Therefore, minimum value will be at point R.

\displaystyle \text{Equation of curve: } ay^2 = x^3

\displaystyle \text{Differentiating w.r.t } x

\displaystyle a \cdot 2y  \frac{dy}{dx} = 3x^2 \Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx}  = \frac{3x^2}{2ay}

\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} \Bigg]_{(am^2, \ am^3)} = \frac{3(am^2)^2}{2a(am^3)} = \frac{3m}{2}

\displaystyle \text{Slope of normal} = -\frac{1}{\text{Slope of tangent}} = - \frac{1}{\frac{3m}{2}} = -\frac{2}{3m}

\displaystyle \text{Therefore, equation of normal is }

\displaystyle (y - am^3) = - \frac{2}{3m} (x-am^2)

Answer:

\fbox{ b  } 

\displaystyle y = \sin (m \sin^{-1} x)  

\displaystyle \text{Differentiating w.r.t } x

\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = \cos ( m \sin^{-1} x) \times \frac{d}{dx} m \sin^{-1} x

\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = \cos ( m \sin^{-1} x) \times \frac{m}{\sqrt{1 - x^2}}

\displaystyle \sqrt{1 - x^2} \frac{dy}{dx} = m \cdot \cos ( m \sin^{-1} x)

Again differentiating both sides

\displaystyle \sqrt{1 - x^2} \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} + \frac{dy}{dx} \Bigg[ \frac{1}{2\sqrt{1-x^2}} \times (-2x) \Bigg] = - m \sin \ ( m \sin^{-1} x) \times \frac{m}{ \sqrt{1-x^2}}

\displaystyle \sqrt{1 - x^2} \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} + \frac{dy}{dx} \Bigg[ \frac{-2x}{2\sqrt{1-x^2}} \Bigg] = - \frac{m^2 \sin \ ( m \sin^{-1} x)}{ \sqrt{1-x^2}}

\displaystyle (1-x^2) \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} - x \frac{dy}{dx} = -m^2 y

Answer:

\fbox{  a } 

\displaystyle y = \Big( \frac{1}{x} \Big)^x 

\displaystyle \Rightarrow \log y = \log \Big( \frac{1}{x} \Big)^x 

\displaystyle \Rightarrow \log y = x \cdot \log \Big( \frac{1}{x} \Big) 

\displaystyle \Rightarrow \log y = x \cdot \log x^{-1} 

\displaystyle \Rightarrow \log y = - x  \log x 

\displaystyle \text{Differentiating w.r.t. } x

\displaystyle \Rightarrow \frac{1}{y} \times \frac{dy}{dx} = - \Big( x \cdot \frac{1}{x}  + \log x \Big) 

\displaystyle \Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx} = - y ( 1 + \log x ) 

\displaystyle \Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx} = - \Big( \frac{1}{x} \Big)^x ( 1 + \log x) 

\displaystyle \text{For critical point } \frac{dy}{dx} = 0 

\displaystyle \Big( \frac{1}{x} \Big)^x  ( 1 + \log x ) = 0   

\displaystyle \Rightarrow 1 + \log x = 0   

\displaystyle \Rightarrow \log x = - 1 

\displaystyle x = e^{-1}   = \frac{1}{e}  

\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx} \Big( \frac{dy}{dx} \Big) = - \frac{d}{dx} ( y + y \log x )

\displaystyle \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = - \Big( \frac{dy}{dx} +  y \cdot \frac{1}{x} + \log x \cdot \frac{dy}{dx} \Big) = - \Big( \frac{dy}{dx} ( 1+ \log x ) + \frac{y}{x}  \Big) < 0 

\displaystyle \text{Therefore } x = \frac{1}{e}  \text{ is the point of maxima and maximum value is  }

\displaystyle m_{11} = \begin{vmatrix} 4 & -5  \\ -1 & 3  \end{vmatrix} \Rightarrow 12 - 5 = 7

\displaystyle m_{12} = \begin{vmatrix} 3 & -5  \\ 2 & 3  \end{vmatrix} \Rightarrow 9+10 = 19

\displaystyle m_{13} = \begin{vmatrix} 3 & 4  \\ 2 & -1  \end{vmatrix} \Rightarrow -3 - 8 = -11

\displaystyle m_{21} = \begin{vmatrix} -1 & 2  \\ -1 & 3  \end{vmatrix} \Rightarrow -3 +2 = -1

\displaystyle m_{22} = \begin{vmatrix} 1 & 2  \\ 2 & 3  \end{vmatrix} \Rightarrow 3-4 = -1

\displaystyle m_{23} = \begin{vmatrix} 1 & -1  \\ 2 & -1  \end{vmatrix} \Rightarrow -1+2=1

\displaystyle m_{31} = \begin{vmatrix} -1 & 2  \\ 4 & -5  \end{vmatrix} \Rightarrow 5-8 = -3

\displaystyle m_{32} = \begin{vmatrix} 1 & 2  \\ 3 & -5  \end{vmatrix} \Rightarrow -5-6 = -11

\displaystyle m_{33} = \begin{vmatrix} 1 & -1  \\ 3 & 4  \end{vmatrix} \Rightarrow 4+3 = 7

Answer:

\fbox{  d } 

\displaystyle \text{Let  }f(x_1) = f(x_2)

\displaystyle \Rightarrow 2 + {x_1}^2 = 2 + {x_2}^2

\displaystyle \Rightarrow x_1 = \pm x_2

\displaystyle \therefore f(x) s \text{ not one-one }

\displaystyle \because x^2 \geq 0 \Rightarrow 2 + x^2 \geq 2

\displaystyle \Rightarrow f(x) \geq 2

\displaystyle \text{Therefore Range } = [2, \infty ) \neq \text{ co-domain }

\displaystyle \text{Hence, } f(x) \text{ is not onto. }

\displaystyle (a) \  4 \hspace{1.0cm} (b) \ -3 \hspace{1.0cm}(c) \ 2 \hspace{1.0cm}(d) \ 5   

Answer:

\fbox{ a  } 

\displaystyle \begin{vmatrix} x & 2 & 3 \\ 1 & x & 1 \\ 3 & 2 & x \end{vmatrix} = 0

\displaystyle \text{Expanding along } R_1 \text{ we have }

\displaystyle x(x^2 - 2) - 2 ( x-3) + 3 ( 2 - 3x) = 0

\displaystyle \Rightarrow x^3 - 2x - 2x + 6 + 6 - 9x = 0

\displaystyle \Rightarrow x^2 - 13 x + 12 = 0 \ldots \ldots (i)

\displaystyle \text{If  } x = - 4 \text{is one root then it satisfies equation (i) }

\displaystyle x(-4) = (-4)^3 - 13 ( - 4) + 12 = -64 + 52 + 12 = 0

\displaystyle \text{Similarly, } x = 3 \text{ and } x = 1 \text{ satisfy equation (i). }

\displaystyle x(3) = (3)^3 - 13(3) + 12 = 27 - 39 + 12 = 39 - 39 =0

\displaystyle x(1) = (1)^3 - 13(1) + 12 = 1 - 13 + 12 = 13 - 13 = 0

\displaystyle \text{Both } x = 3 \text{ and } x = 1  \text{ satisfy the equation, so } x = 3 \text{ and } x = 1 \text{ are two other roots. }

\displaystyle \text{Therefore, sum of the other two roots is } = 3 + 1 = 4

\displaystyle \textbf{40: } \text{The absolute maximum value of the function } f(x) = 4x - \frac{1}{2} x^2 \text{ in the interval } \\ \Big[ -2, \frac{9}{2} \Big] \text{ is }     

\displaystyle (a) \  8 \hspace{1.0cm} (b) \ 9 \hspace{1.0cm}(c) \ 6 \hspace{1.0cm}(d) \ 10   

Answer:

\fbox{ a  } 

\displaystyle f(x) = 4x - \frac{1}{2} x^2

\displaystyle \text{Differentiating w.r.t. } x

\displaystyle f'(x) = 4 - x

\displaystyle \text{For critical point } f'(x) = 0

\displaystyle 4 - x = 0

\displaystyle \Rightarrow x = 4

\displaystyle \text{Now, find the value of } f(x) \text{ at } x = -2, 4, \frac{9}{2}

\displaystyle f(-2) = 4 ( -2) - \frac{1}{2} (-2)^2 = -8-2=-10

\displaystyle f(4) = 4(4) - \frac{1}{2} (4)^2 = 16 - 8 = 8

\displaystyle f \Big( \frac{9}{2} \Big) = 4 \Big(\frac{9}{2} \Big) - \frac{1}{2}\times \frac{81}{4} = 18 - \frac{81}{8} = \frac{63}{8} = 7.875

\displaystyle \text{Therefore absolute minimum value is 8. }

\displaystyle \textbf{41: } \text{In a sphere of radius } r \text{ a right circular cone of height } h, \text{ having maximum curved } \\ \text{surface area is inscribed. } \text{The expression for the square of the curved surface of the} \\ \text{cone is }

Answer:

\fbox{  c } 

\displaystyle \text{Given that: }

\displaystyle \text{Radius of the sphere } = r

\displaystyle \text{Height of the cone } = h

\displaystyle \text{Let radius of cone } = R

\displaystyle \text{Let slant height of cone } = l

\displaystyle \text{Now, in } \triangle OPQ

\displaystyle OP^2 = PQ^2 + QO^2

\displaystyle r^2 = R^2 + ( h-r)^2

\displaystyle r^2 = R^2 + h^2 + r^2 - 2hr

\displaystyle R^2 = r^2 - h^2 - r^2 + 2hr

\displaystyle R^2 = 2hr - h^2

\displaystyle R = \sqrt{2hr - h^2}

\displaystyle \text{In } \triangle MPQ,

\displaystyle l^2 = R^2 + h^2

\displaystyle l^2= ( 2hr - h^2) + h^2

\displaystyle l = \sqrt{2hr}

\displaystyle \text{Curved surface area } = \pi R l

\displaystyle \text{C.S.A } = \pi ( \sqrt{2hr - h^2})(\sqrt{2hr})

\displaystyle \text{Squaring both sides we get }

\displaystyle (CSA)^2 = \pi^2 ( 2hr - h^2) ( 2hr) = 2\pi^2 hr ( 2hr - h^2)= 2\pi^2 r ( 2h^2r - h^3)

\displaystyle \text{Objective function: } Z = ax + 2by, \text{ where }  a, b > 0

\displaystyle \text{Given: maximum Z occurs at }  (3, 5) \text{ and }  S(4, 1)

\displaystyle \text{Therefore, max }  Z ( 3, 5) = \text{ max }  Z (4, 1)

\displaystyle \textbf{43: } \text{If curves } y^2=4x \text{ and } xy=c \text{ cut at right angles, then the value of } c \text{ is }      

\displaystyle (a) \ 4\sqrt{2}  \hspace{1.0cm} (b) \ 8 \hspace{1.0cm}(c) \ 2\sqrt{2} \hspace{1.0cm}(d) \ -4 \sqrt{2}   

Answer:

\fbox{ a  } 

\displaystyle \text{Given curves are } y^2 = 4x \ldots (i) \text{ and } xy = c \ldots (ii)

\displaystyle \text{From equation (i) } x = \frac{y^2}{4}

\displaystyle \Big( \frac{y^2}{4} \Big) y = c \Rightarrow \frac{y^3}{4} = c

\displaystyle y^3 = 4c \text{ or } y = (4c)^{\frac{1}{3}}

\displaystyle \text{Substituting } y = (4c)^{\frac{1}{3}} \text{ in equation (i) } 

\displaystyle [(4c)^{\frac{1}{3}}]^2 = 4x \Rightarrow 4x = (4c)^{\frac{2}{3}} \Rightarrow x = \frac{(4c)^{\frac{2}{3}}}{4}

\displaystyle \text{Hence, both curves intersect at point } \Bigg[ (4c)^{\frac{2}{3}}, (4c)^{\frac{1}{3}} \Bigg]

Now, differentiating equation (i) w.r.t. x

\displaystyle 2y \frac{dy}{dx} = 4 \Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{4}{2y}

\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} \Bigg]_{ (4c)^{\frac{2}{3}}, (4c)^{\frac{1}{3}} }  = \frac{4}{2(4c)^{\frac{1}{3}}} = \frac{2}{(4c)^{\frac{1}{3}}}

Differentiating equation (ii) w.r.t. x

\displaystyle x  \frac{dy}{dx} + y = 0 \Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-y}{x}

\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} \Bigg]_{ (4c)^{\frac{2}{3}}, (4c)^{\frac{1}{3}} }  = \frac{-(4c)^{\frac{1}{3}}}{\frac{(4c)^{\frac{2}{3}}}{4}} = \frac{-4(4c)^{\frac{1}{3}}}{(4c)^{\frac{2}{3}}} = - 4(4c)^{\frac{1}{3} - \frac{2}{3}} = -4(4c)^{-\frac{1}{3}}

Curves (i) and (ii) cut at right angles. Therefore,

\displaystyle \frac{2}{(4c)^{\frac{1}{3}}} \times \frac{-4}{(4c)^{\frac{1}{3}}} = -1 \Rightarrow \frac{-8}{(4c)^{\frac{2}{3}}} = -1

\displaystyle \Rightarrow 8 = ( 4c)^{\frac{2}{3}} \Rightarrow (4c)^{\frac{2}{3}} = 8 \Rightarrow 4c = 8^{\frac{3}{2}} \\ \\ \Rightarrow 4c = 8\sqrt{8} \Rightarrow c = 2\sqrt{8} \Rightarrow c = 4\sqrt{2}

\displaystyle \textbf{44: } \text{The inverse of the matrix } X = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 3 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 4 \end{bmatrix} \text{ is }   

\displaystyle (a) \  24 \begin{bmatrix} 1/2 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1/3 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1/4 \end{bmatrix} \hspace{1.0cm} (b) \ \frac{1}{24} \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \hspace{1.0cm}\\ \\  \\ (c) \ \frac{1}{24} \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 3 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 4 \end{bmatrix} \hspace{2.3cm}(d) \ \begin{bmatrix} 1/2 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1/3 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1/4 \end{bmatrix}   

Answer:

\fbox{ d  } 

\displaystyle X = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 3 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 4 \end{bmatrix}

\displaystyle |X| = 2 ( 12-0) + 0 + 0 = 24 \neq 0

\displaystyle \text{This is singular matrix. So, } X^{-1} \text{ exists. }

\displaystyle \text{Now cofactor, }C = \begin{bmatrix} 12 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 8 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 6 \end{bmatrix}

\displaystyle C^T = \begin{bmatrix} 12 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 8 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 6 \end{bmatrix}

\displaystyle \text{Adj } X \Rightarrow C^T = \begin{bmatrix} 12 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 8 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 6 \end{bmatrix}

Therefore, 

\displaystyle X^{-1} = \frac{1}{|X|} \cdot \text{Adj } X = \frac{1}{24} \begin{bmatrix} 12 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 8 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 6 \end{bmatrix}

\displaystyle \Rightarrow X^{-1} = \begin{bmatrix} \frac{1}{2} & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & \frac{1}{3} & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & \frac{1}{4} \end{bmatrix}

\displaystyle (a) \ \text{Maximum value of } Z \text{ is at } R  \hspace{1.0cm} \\ (b) \ \text{Maximum value of } Z \text{ is at } Q \hspace{1.0cm} \\  (c) \ \text{Value of } Z \text{ at } R \text{ is less than the value at } P \hspace{1.0cm} \\ (d) \ \text{Value of } Z \text{ at } Q \text{ is less than the value at } P   

Answer:

\fbox{ b  } 

\displaystyle \begin{array}{ |c|c|} \hline   \text{Coner Points} & \text{Objective Function } Z = 4x +3y  \\  \hline  O(0, 0)  & Z=4 \times 0 +3 \times 0 = 0  \\ \hline  P(0, 40) & Z=4 \times 0 +  3 \times 40 = 0 + 120 = 120   \\ \hline   Q(30, 20)& Z=4 \times 30+ 3 \times 20 = 120 + 60 = 180 \\ \hline  R(40, 0) & Z=4 \times 40 + 3 \times 0 = 160 + 0 = 160 \\ \hline    \end{array}
