The average of 4-digit numbers 1x44, x345, 3356 and 41x3 is 2767. What is the average of 6x, 5x +3 and 7x + 3?1. 152. 143. 174. 12 |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 14 Given : The average of 4-digit numbers 1x44, x345, 3356 and 41x3 is 2767 Formula used : Average = Total sum of all observations/ Number of observations Calculations : Average = Total value of all observations/4 2767 = Total value of all observations/4 Total value of all observations = 2767 × 4 = 11068 1x44 + x345 + 3356 + 41x3 = 11068 Now we should put value of x less than 3 as at x = 3 sum of these numbers will be more than 11068 At x = 2, values get satisfied Now average of 6x, 5x + 3 and 7x + 3 Average = (6x + 5x + 3 + 7x + 3)/3 Average = (6 × 2 + 5 × 2 + 3 + 7 × 2 + 3)/3 ⇒ 42/3 = 14 ∴ The average will be 14 |

Let d + 2(2b + c) = 19. What will be the remainder when the 4-digit number abcd is divided by 8?1. 22. 53. 04. 3 |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 3 Given: d + 2(2b + c) = 19 Concept used : Divisibility rule of 8 A number is divisible by 8 if last 3 digits are divisible by 8 Calculations : abcd = 1000a + 100b + 10c + d For abcd to be divisible by 8, 100b + 10c + d must be divisible by 8 (100b + 10c + d)/8 = [100b + 10c + 19 - 2(2b + c)]/8 [d = 19 - 2(2b + c)] ⇒ (100b + 10c - 4b - 2c + 19)/8 ⇒ (96b + 8c + 19)/8 ⇒ (96b + 8c)/8) + 19/8 We can see that 96b + 8c is divisible by 8 and only 19 will give remainder Remainder = 3 ∴ Remainder will be 3 when abcd is divided by 8 |

When a certain number is divided by 52, the remainder is 49. When the same number is divided by 13, the remainder is x. What is the value of \(\sqrt{5x-1}\) ?1. 112. 63. 74. 8 |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 7 Given: First Divisor = 52 First Remainder = 49 Second Divisor = 13 Second Remainder = x Concept Used: Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder Calculation: let the dividend be D Quotient be Q1 and Q2 According to question, D = Q1 × 52 + 49 D = Q2 × 13 + x Since 13 is a multiple of 52, we can assume that D is divided by 13 it also leaves the remainder 49, but 49 can be further divided by 13 It leaves the remainder 10 This remainder 10 will be equal to x ⇒ \(√{5x-1}\) = \(√{5 \times 10 - 1}\) ⇒ √49 = 7 ∴ The value \(√{5x-1}\) is 7 |

Find the value of x that will give minimum values of the function 2 x3 — 11 x2+12x+10?Ans |
|
Answer» Ans: x=3 Let f(x) = \(2x^3 -11x^2+12x+10\) \(df/dx\)= \(6x^2-22x+12\) And so roots of \(df/dx = 0\) are 3 and 2/3 by solving the quadratic eqn. Check \(d^2f/dx^2 = 12x-22\) at x=3 and x=2/3. At x=3 \(d^2f/dx^2\) gives positive value and thus x=3 is a point of minima. |

Find the co-ordinates of the mid-point of the line segment joining the points A(–5,4) and B(7,–8). |
|
Answer» We know that the co-ordinates of the mid-point of the line segment joining points (x1, y1) & (x2, y2) is given by \((\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+ y_2}{2})\) Therefore, the co-ordinates of the mid-point of the line segment joining the points A(– 5, 4) and B(7,-8) is \(\big(\frac{-5+7}{2}, \frac{4+(-8)}{2}\big)\) = \(\big( \frac{2}{2}, \frac{-4}{2} \big)\) = (1,-2) Hence, the mid-point of given line segment is (1,-2). |

A fraction becomes \(\frac{1}{3}\) , if 2 is added to both of its numerator and denominator. The same fraction becomes \(\frac{2}{5}\), when 3 is added to both its numerator and denominator. Let the original fraction be \(\frac{x}{y}\).(a) \(\frac{x+2}{y+2} = \frac{1}{3}\, implies:\) (i) 3x + 6y = 2 (ii) 3x – 6y = –4 (iii) 3x – y = 4 (iv) None. (b) \(\frac{x+3}{y+3}\)= \(\frac{2}{5}\) implies: (i) 5x + 15y = 6 (ii) 5x – 2y = –9 (iii) 5x – 2y = 9 (iv) None. (c) The value of x is: (i) 1 (ii) 2(iii) 3 (iv) None. (d) The value of y is: (i) 5 (ii) 6 (iii) 7(iv) None. (e) Required (original) fraction is: (i) \(\frac{1}{5}\)(ii) \(\frac{2}{7}\)(iii) \(\frac{3}{5}\)(iv) \(\frac{1}{7}\). |
|
Answer» (a) \(\frac{x+2}{y+2} = \frac{1}{3}\) ⇒ 3(x +2) = y + 2 ⇒ 3x + 6 = y + 2 ⇒ 3x – y + 4 = 0 ⇒ 3x – y = – 4. ... (1) Hence, option (ii) is correct. (b) \(\frac{x+3}{y+3} = \frac{2}{5}\) ⇒ 5(x+3) = 2(y+3) ⇒ 5x + 15 = 2y + 6 ⇒ 5x – 2y + 9 = 0 ⇒ 5x – 2y = – 9. ... (2) Hence, option (ii) is correct. (c) Now, multiplying equation (1) by 2, we get 6x – 2y = – 8. ... (3) Now, subtracting equation (2) from equation (3), we get (6x – 2y) – (5x – 2y) = – 8 – (– 9) ⇒ 6x – 5x – 2y + 2y = – 8 + 9 ⇒ x = 1. Hence, the value of x is 1. Hence, option (i) is correct. (d) By putting x = 1 in equation (1), we get 3 × 1 – y = – 4 ⇒ 3 – y = – 4 ⇒ y = 3 + 4 = 7. Hence, the value of y is 7. Hence, option (iii) is correct. (e) Required (original) fraction is \(\frac{x}{y} = \frac{1}{7}.\) Hence, option (iv) is correct. |

If y = xsin x + 2020, then find dy/dx. |
|
Answer» y = xsinx + 2020 \(\therefore\) \(\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{d}{dx}x^{sin x}\)---(1) \((\because\frac{d}{dx}constant=0)\) Let xsinx = z Then sin log x = log z (by taking log on both sides) ⇒ \(\frac{sin x}x+log x cos x=\frac1z\frac{dz}{dx}\) (on differentiating both sides w.r.t. x) \(\therefore\) \(\frac{dz}{dx}=z(\frac{sin x}x+log x\,cosx)\) ⇒ \(\frac{d}{dx}x\,sin x\) = xsinx(\(\frac{sinx}x\) + cos x log x) (From (1)) |

|
Answer» We have 2x + 2y = 2x + y By differentiating both sides w.r.to x, we get 2x ln2 + 2y ln2 \(\frac{dy}{dx}=\) 2x+y (1 + \(\frac{dy}{dx}\)) ln2 (\(\because\) \(\frac{d}{dx}a^x=a^x \) ln a) ⇒ ln 2 (2x + 2y\(\frac{dy}{dx}\)) = 2x+y + 2x+y \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) ⇒ (2x+y - 2y)\(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = 2x - 2x+y ⇒ 2y(2x - 1) \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = 2x(1 - 2y) ⇒ \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) = \(\frac{2^x(1-2^y)}{2^y(2^x-1)}\) = \(\frac{2^{x-y}(1-2^y)}{2^x-1}\) = \(\frac{2^{x-y}(2^y-1)}{1-2^x}\) |

Rolle’s Theorem. |
|
Answer» Rolle’s Theorem is a particular case of the mean value theorem which satisfies certain conditions. At the same time, Lagrange’s mean value theorem is the mean value theorem itself or the first mean value theorem. In general, one can understand mean as the average of the given values. But in the case of integrals, the process of finding the mean value of two different functions is different. Let us learn Rolle’s theorem and the mean value of such functions and their geometrical interpretation. Lagrange’s Mean Value Theorem If a function f is defined on the closed interval [a,b] satisfying the following conditions – i) The function f is continuous on the closed interval [a, b] ii)The function f is differentiable on the open interval (a, b) Then there exists a value x = c in such a way that f'(c) = [f(b) – f(a)]/(b-a) This theorem is also known as the first mean value theorem or Lagrange’s mean value theorem. |
