  • Question 1/10
    2.5 / -0.83

    The range of values of m for which the equation (m - 5) x2 + 2(m - 10) x + m + 10 = 0 has real roots of the same sign is given by

    Solutions

    Given:

    Equation is (m - 5) x+ 2(m - 10) x + m + 10 = 0

    Concept Used:

    If ax2 + bx + c = 0 is a quadratic equation 

    Sum of roots = -b/a

    Product of roots = c/a

    For real roots: b2 - 4ac ≥ 0

    For equal roots: b- 4ac = 0

    For imaginary roots: b2 - 4ac < 0

    Calculation:

    We have a quadratic equation below 

    (m - 5) x2 + 2(m - 10) x + (m + 10) = 0 

    For being a quadratic equation, the Coefficient of x2 shouldn't be zero

    m - 5 ≠ 0

    ⇒ m ≠ 5       ----(i)

    According to the question roots are real

    So, [2(m - 10)]- 4 (m - 5) (m + 10) ≥ 0

    ⇒ 4 (m2 - 20m + 100) - 4 (m2 + 5m - 50) ≥ 0

    ⇒ (m2 - 20m + 100) - (m2 + 5m - 50) ≥ 0

    ⇒ -25m + 150 ≥ 0

    ⇒ -25m ≥ -150

    ⇒ m ≤ 6         ----(ii)

    Now, Again according to the question 

    Roots are of same sign 

    So, We can say the product of roots must be +ve

    Product of roots (c/a) > 0

    ⇒ (m + 10)/(m - 5) > 0

    ⇒ m < -10 or m > 5      -----(iii)

    With the help of number line and equations (i), (ii), and (iii), we get

    m < -10 and 5 < m ≤ 6.

    ∴ The correct answer is option 3.

  • Question 2/10
    2.5 / -0.83

    Solutions

    Concept:

    Scaler triple product of the vectors:

    Solution:

    Therefore,

    Take (1 - a)(1 - b)(1 - c) common. Note that it is given that a,b,c ≠ 0 therefore this action is jstified.

    Since a, b, c ≠ 0 therefore (1 - a)(1 - b)(1 - c) ≠ 0.Therefore the determinant has to be zero.

  • Question 3/10
    2.5 / -0.83

    Let R = (5√5 + 11)2n+1 and f be the fractional part of R. then Rf is equal to:

    Solutions

    Concept:

    Greatest Integer Function: (Floor function)

    The function f (x) = [x] is called the greatest integer function and means greatest integer less than or equal to x i.e [x] ≤ x.

    Domain of [x] is R and range is I.

    Fractional part function: It is defined as difference between a number and its integral value.

    {f} = f - [f]

    The binomial expansion of (x + y)n:

    (x+ y)n = nC0( xn) + nC1 (xn - 1) y + nC(xn- 2). y2 +....... + nCnyn 

    Calculation: 

    Given that

    R = (5√5 + 11)2n+1      -----(1)

    According to question, f is a fractional part of R

    ⇒ f = R - [R]        ------(2)

    Let f1 =  (5√5 - 11)2n+1    where 0 < f1 < 1    

    R - f1 =  (5√5 + 11)2n+1 -  (5√5 - 11)2n+1     

    [R] + f - f1 =  (5√5 + 11)2n+1 -  (5√5 - 11)2n+1        ------(3)

    Expand this Binomially and substract both terms, we will get

    (5√5 + 11)2n+1 - (5√5 - 11)2n+1  =

    2[2n + 1C1(5√5)2n (11)+ 2n + 1C3(5√5)2n-2(11)3 + ....... +2n +1C2n+1(11)2n+1

    We can see that, √5 has power of multiple 2 hence, 

    [R] + f - f1 = even positive integer

    We know that, [R] is integer, therefore to make the  [R] + f - f1 integer, 

    f - f1 = 0 ⇒ f = f1

    Therefore, 

    Rf = Rf1 =  (5√5 + 11)2n+1.(5√5 - 11)2n+1

    ⇒ Rf = 42n+ 1

    Hence, option 1 is correct.

  • Question 4/10
    2.5 / -0.83

    Determine the quantity of different signals that can be created by organizing at least 2 flags in sequence (one below the other) on a vertical staff, if 5 different flags are available?

    Solutions

    Given:

    Available flags = 5

    Sequence matters

    Concept:

    Formula:

    Explanation:

    At least two flags from 5 flags mean ' 2 flags or 3 flags or 4 flags or 5 flags '.

    = (4)(5) + (3)(4)(5) + (2)(3)(4)(5) + (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)

    = 20 + 60 + 120 + 120

    = 320

  • Question 6/10
    2.5 / -0.83

    The angle between the curves y = sin x and y = cos x is

    Solutions

    CONCEPT:

    • The angle of intersection between the two curves will be the same as the angle of the intersection or between the tangents on both the curves on a common point.
    • If the slope of a tangent at a common point on the first curve is m1 and the slope of a tangent at a common point on the second curve is m2 then the angle of intersection,

    CALCULATION:

    Given:

    First of all, find the point of intersection of these two curves.

    ⇒ sin x - cos x ⇒ x = π / 4

    Now,

  • Question 7/10
    2.5 / -0.83

    Solutions

    Concept:

    Rolle's theorem states that if a function f(x) is continuous in the closed interval [a, b] and differentiable on the open interval (a, b) such that f(a) = f(b) then,

    f′(c) = 0 for some c ∈ [a, b].

    Calculation:

    From Rolle's theorem in (1, 26), f (1) = f (26) = 5,

    In a given interval, the function satisfies all the conditions of Rolle's theorem, therefore in [1, 26], at least, there is a point for which f' (x) = 0

  • Question 8/10
    2.5 / -0.83

    Everybody in a room shakehands with everybody else. The total number of hand shakes is 66. The total number of persons in the room is

    Solutions

    Concept:

    Calculations:

    Two people are required to shake hands.

    The total number of handshakes is 66.

    Suppose there are n people in the room

    ⇒ n (n - 1) = 132

    ⇒ n-  n - 132 = 0

    ⇒ (n - 12)(n + 11) = 0

    ⇒ n = 12 or n = - 11

    Here n = - 11 is not possible as the number of persons can't be negative.

    ⇒ n = 12

    ∴ The number of people in the room is 12.

  • Question 9/10
    2.5 / -0.83

    The equation of the line parallel to the line 2x - 3y = 1 and passing through the middle point of the line segment joining the point (1,3) and (1, -7), is

    Solutions

    Concept:

    • The slope of parallel lines is the same. As an example, y = mx + p and y = mx + q are parallel to each other and their slope is m and p and q are their intercept with the y-axis
    • The formula for the midpoint of the segment joining two points (a , b) and (c , d) is 

    Calculation:

    Given, the line parallel to the line 2x - 3y = 1 passes through the midpoint of the segment joining the two points (1 , 3) and (1 , -7).

    The equation of the given line can be modified in a way to match the equation y = mx +a to find out the slope of the line as follows,

    Here, the slope of the given line is 2/3, therefore the line parallel to this line will also have a slope 2/3 .

  • Question 10/10
    2.5 / -0.83

    Solutions

    Given:

    Concept:

    To solve such type of differential equations, simply put y = vx.

    Calculation:

    Putting y = vx

    Integrating both sides -

    ⇒ ln|f(v)| = ln|x| + lnC

    ⇒ f(v) = Cx

    putting v = y/x back,

    ⇒ f(y/x) = Cx
