  • Question 1/10
    2.5 / -0.83

    A function f: R → R satisfies the equation f(x + y) = f(x).f(y) for all x, y ∈ R; f(x) ≠ 0. Suppose that the function f(x) is differentiable at x = 0 and f'(0) = 2. If f'(x) = λ. f(x), then the value of λ is

    Solutions

    Given:

    f: R→ R such that f(x + y) = f(x).f(y) for all x, y ∈ R and f(x) ≠ 0.

    f(x) is differentiable at x = 0 and f'(0) = 2

    f'(x) = λ. f(x)

    Calculation:

    Putting x = y = 0 in f(x + y) = f(x).f(y)

    f(0) = [f(0)]2

    ⇒ f(0)[1 - f(0)] = 0

    ⇒ f(0) = 1 as f(x) ≠ 0

    Also, f'(x) = λ. f(x)

    Putting x = 0, we get f'(0) = λ. f(0)

    ⇒ λ = 2

  • Question 2/10
    2.5 / -0.83

    A histogram has 7 bars of varying heights. The fifth bar represents the maximum frequencies. The range of this frequency distribution table can be classified as ______.

    Solutions

    Calculation 

    Let assume the class interval and frequency table for this histogram to solve this question

    Histogram for this data

    Average = Σfx/Σf

    ⇒ Average = 1145/35 = 32.7

    Range:

    In case of continuous frequency distribution, range, is calculated as the difference between the lower limit of the minimum interval and upper limit of the maximum interval of the grouped data. That is for X:  0-10, 10-20, 20-30 up to 60-70, range is calculated as 70 - 0 = 70.

    ∴ The range of frequency is above average

  • Question 3/10
    2.5 / -0.83

    If ω ≠  1 is a cube root of unity, for equation (z - 1)3 + 27 = 0

    Statement I: roots are -2, 1 - 3ω, 1 - 3ω2

    Statement II: Sum of roots is 0.

    Statement III: Product of roots is -26.

    Which of the above statement(s) is/are correct.

    Solutions

    Concept:

    Cube roots of Unity

    Cube roots of unity are given by 1, ω, ω2, where

    Some Results Involving Complex Cube Root of Unity (ω)

    (i) ω3 = 1

    (ii) 1 + ω + ω2 = 0

    (iv) ω̅  = ω2

    Calculation:

    Statement I: roots are -2, 1 - 3ω, 1 - 3ω2

    (z -1)3 = - 27

    ⇒ (z -1) = (- 27)1/3 

    ⇒ (z -1) = - 3 ⋅ (1)1/3 

    ⇒ z  =  - 3 ⋅ (1) 1/3  + 1

    ⇒ z  =  1 - 3 ⋅ (1) 1/3 

    Cube root of unity are 1, ω, ω2

    For 1, z  =  1 - 3 ⋅ 1 ⇒ z  =  1 - 3 =  - 2

    For ω, z  =  1 - 3 ⋅ ω ⇒ z  =  1 - 3ω 

    For ω2, z  =  1 - 3 ⋅ ω2 ⇒ z  =  1 - 3ω

    Statement I is correct.

    Statement II: Sum of roots is 0

    Roots of the equations (z -1)3 + 27 = 0 are - 2, 1 - 3ω, 1 - 3ω2 

    Sum of roots = (- 2) + (1 - 3ω) + (1 - 3ω2) 

    = - 3ω - 3ω2 ⇒ - 3(ω + ω2) = -3(-1) = 3

    Statement II is incorrect.

    Statement III: Product of roots is 1

    Product of roots = (-2) (1 - 3ω)(1 - 3ω2)

    = (-2) (1 - 3ω- 3ω + 9ω3)

    = (-2)(10 - 3(ω2 + ω))

    = (-2)(10 + 3)

    = -26

    Statement III is correct.

    ∴ I and III are correct.

  • Question 5/10
    2.5 / -0.83

    Let γ, δ be real and z be a complex number. If z2 + γz + δ = 0 has two distinct roots on the line Re z = 1, then it is necessary that

    Solutions

    Concept:

    For a real polynomial, complex roots occur in conjugate pairs,

    that is, if x + iy is the root of a polynomial then x - iy is also the root of that polynomial.

    If α and β are the roots of the equation ax2 + bx + c = 0,

    Calculation:

    Let z = x + iy

    and given Re z = 1 ⇒ x = 1

    So, the roots of the equation z2 + γz + δ = 0 are 1 + iy and 1 - iy

    ∵ Product of roots → (1 + iy)(1 - iy) = α β  = δ 

    ⇒ Product of roots → (1 + iy)(1 - iy) = δ

    ⇒ δ = 1 + y2 ≥ 1

    So, δ ϵ [1, ∞)

    ∴ The correct answer is option (4).

  • Question 6/10
    2.5 / -0.83

    Ten coins numbered 1 to 10 are kept in a packet, merged rigorously and then one coin is taken out randomly. If it is familiar that the number on the drawn coin is more than 3, what is the probability that it is an even number?

    Solutions

    Given:

    Coins are numbered 1 to 10.

    The drawn coin has a number more than 3.

    Concept:

    An even number is a number that is divisible by 2.

    Formula:

    Calculation:

    Let A be the event that number is even and B be the event that number is more than 3.

    Numbers that are even and more than 3 are ' 4, 6, 8, 10 ' 

    ∴ P(A ∩ B) = 4/10   -----    (i)

    Numbers more than 3 are ' 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 '

    and P(B) = 7/10    -----   (ii)

    Dividing (i) by (ii) -

    ∴ P(A/B) = 4/7

    II.  Mid-point of PQ is (-2, 0) 

    Which of the following statement is correct?

    Solutions

    Formula used:

    1. Midpoint of coordinates (x1, y1) & (x2, y2)

    2. The equation of passing through (x1, y1) and slope m is

    y - y1 = m(x - x1)

    3. If the slope of two perpendicular lines is m1 & m2 then

    m1 × m2 = -1

    Calculation:

    Let slope of the projection line (L) is m.

    We know that line joining the PQ will be perpendicular to line L.

    The slope of line PQ × Slope of line L = -1

    There are 4 white and 3 black balls in a box. In another box, there are 3 white and 4 black balls. An unbiased dice is rolled. If it shows a number less than or equal to 3, then a ball is drawn from the second box, otherwise from the first box. If the ball is drawn is black, then the probability that the ball was drawn from the first box is

    Solutions

    Concept:

    Conditional probability: It is the measure of probability of an event A is occurring given that another event B is already occurred, then:

    Calculation:

    Given: Box1: 4W + 3B & Box2: 3W + 4B

    Probability of black ball from box1 = 3/7

    Probability of black ball from box2 = 4/7

    Probability of choosing first box = 3/6 = 1/2

    Probability of choosing second box = 3/6 = 1/2

    Probability of choosing black ball = (Probability of choosing the first bag × Probability of choosing black) + (Probability of choosing the second bag × Probability of choosing black)

  • Question 10/10
    2.5 / -0.83

    Equation of the plane parallel to the x axis and passes through the point (4, 6, 2) and (4, -5, 3)

    Solutions

    Concept:

    1) The equation of a plane passing through a point P (x1, y1, z1) is given by:

    a (x - x1) + b (y - y1) + c (z - z1) = 0 where a, b, c are constants.

    2) If the angle between the lines  where a1, b1, c1, a2, b2 and c2 are the direction ratios is 90° then

    a1 ⋅ a2 + b1 ⋅ b2 + c1 ⋅ c2 = 0

    Calculation:

    Given:

    Plane passes through (4, 6, 2) and (4, - 5, 3) and is parallel to the x - axis.

    As we know that the equation of a plane passing through a point P (x1, y1, z1) is given by: a (x - x1) + b (y - y1) + c (z - z1) = 0

    So, the equation of plane passing through the point (4, 6, 2) is given by:

    ⇒ a (x - 4) + b (y - 6) + c (z - 2) = 0       ----(1)

    It is given that plane also passes through the point (4, - 5, 3) i.e the point (4, - 5, 3) will satisfy the equation (1)

    ⇒ a (4 - 4) + b (- 5 - 6) + c (3 - 2) = 0

    ⇒ - 11b + c = 0       ----(2)

    Also it is given that plane represented by (1) is parallel to the x - axis i.e the normal to the plane represented by (1) is perpendicular to the x - axis

    The direction ratios of the normal to the plane represented by (1) are: a, b, c

    Similarly, the direction ratios of the x - axis are: 1, 0, 0

    As we know that if two lines are perpendicular then a1a2 + b1b2 + c1c2 = 0 where a1, b1, c1, a2, b2 and c2 are the direction ratios

    ⇒ a ⋅ 1 + b ⋅ 0 + c ⋅ 0 = 0

    ⇒ a = 0

    Let b = k then c = 11k

    By substituting a = 0, b = k and c = 11k in equation (1), we get

    ⇒ 0 ⋅ (x - 4) + k (y - 6) + 11k (z - 2) = 0

    ⇒ y + 11z – 28 = 0

    Hence, the equation of the required plane is: y + 11z – 28 = 0
