1.

In an ap of which is the first term if the sum of first P term is zero then sum of of next Q terms

Answer»

We have sum of p terms i. e.
Sp = p/2 (2a+(n-1)d)=0
or d=-2a/(n-1)d
also
Sum of next q terms means (Sum of p+q terms) - ( sum of p terms)

or sum of p+q terms because sum of p terms is 0

=> p+q/2 ( 2a +(n-1)d)
=> p+q/2 (2a + (n-1)(-2a/(n-1)d)
or
=> -a (p+q)q/p-1

Therefore, sum of the next q terms is given by

Sp+q-Sp = -a (p+q)q/p-1

2.

Lcm and hcf of 8 9 25

Answer»

We have to find LCM and HCF, We can write

8 =1 x 2 x 2 x 2
9 =1 x 3 x 3
25=1 x 5 x 5
HCF =1
LCM = 1 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 5 = 1800

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`A : B`
`4 : 5`
`4x : 5x`
L C M `= 4 xx 5 xx x = 20 x`
`20 x = 180`
`x=9`
`:.` Smallest number is (न्यूनतम संख्या)
`=4 xx 9 = 36`
Largest number is (अधिक संख्या) `= 5 xx 9 = 45` .

Answer» Correct Answer - A
(यदि 4 संख्याएँ है )
a,b,c,d
then
`a : b : : c :d`
Two mean propertions are, b and c
`axxd = bxx c`
Now let mean proportion of 2 & 54 are x, y
`=2 : x : y : 54`
` thererfore xy =54xx2=108`
(विकल्पों को देखें)
(विकल्प A पूर्ण करता है )

एक व्यक्ति ने चार जोड़े काले जुराब तथा कुछ जोड़े भूरे जुराब का आर्डर दिया। काले रंग के जुराब कि कीमत, भूरे रंग के जुराब की कीमत से दोगुने है। बिल बनाते समय दुकानदार ने गलती से काले और भूरे रंग की जुराबों की संख्या परस्पर बदल कर लिख दी जिसके कारण बिल का भुगतान 50 % बढ़ जाता है। तो शुरुआत मे काले और भूरे रंग की जुराबों का अनुपात ज्ञात करे।A. `2:1`B. `1:4`C. `1:2`D. `4:1`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Black : Brown
pairs 4 : x
price 2 : 1
8 : x
2x : 4
new bill =2x+4
प्रश्नानुसार
`therefore 3(8+x)=2(2x+4)`
`implies 24+3x=4x+8`
x=16
`therefore` Brown pairs =16
Black pairs =4
ratio = 1 : 4
6.

0.8 और 0.2 का तृतीयानुपातिक ज्ञात करे।A. 0.05B. 0.8C. 0.4D. 0.032

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`0.8x " " 0.2, " "x`
(यदि a , b तथा c तीन संख्याएँ है )
then , a : b : c
`b^(2)= axxc`
c=third proportion
Let, 0.8 : 0.2 : : 0.2 : x
x be the third proportion
`therefore 0.2xx0.2=x xx0.8`
`(2)/(10)xx(2)/(10)=x xx(8)/(10)`
`implies (4)/(8xx10)= x implies (1)/(20)=x`
`implies 0.05 = x`
8.

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`implies x : y : z`
are three persons
Speed 4 : 3 : 5
Time `(1)/(4) : (1)/(3) : (1)/(5)`
`therefore " Speed " prop (1)/("Time")`
LCM of 4,3 and 5=60
`therefore " time" (1)/(4)xx60 : (1)/(3)xx60 : (1)/(5)xx60`
`15 : 20 : 12`
9.

दो लड़को की आयु का वर्तमान अनुपात `5:6` है। 2 साल बाद यह अनुपात `7:8` हो जाता है। तो 12 साल बाद अनुपात क्या होगा।A. `(22)/(24)`B. `(15)/(16)`C. `(17)/(18)`D. `(11)/(12)`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
(A तथा B लड़को की उम्रो का अनुपात )
A : B
Present age 5x : 6x
`therefore ` (दो वर्ष के बाद )
`therefore (5x+2)/(6x+2)=(7)/(8)`
` 40x+16=42x+14`
2x=2
x=1
`therefore` (वर्तमान आयु )
`A=5xx1=5`
`B=6xx1=6`
(12वर्ष के बाद )
A=5+12=17
B=6+12=18
`(A)/(B)=(17)/(18)`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
5.5a=0.65b
`(55)/(10)a=(65)/(100)b`
`55a=(65)/(100)b`
550a=65b
a : b=65 :550=13 : 110
13.

Answer» Correct Answer - C
x : y
3 : 4
`therefore (5x-2y)/(7x+2y) implies (y(5(x)/(y)-2))/(y(7(x)/(y)+2))`
`(5xx(3)/(4)-2)/(7xx(3)/(4)+2) implies (15-8)/(21+8) implies (7)/(29)`
14.

Answer» Correct Answer - A
(a+b) : (b+c) : (c+a)
6 : 7 : 8
Let 6x : 7x : 8x
`therefore a+b+b+c+c+a implies 6x+7x+8x`
`2a+2b+2c implies 21x`
`implies a+b+c=(21)/(2)x`
`implies a+b+c=14 ` given
`implies (21x)/(2)=14`
`x=(28)/(21)=(4)/(3)`
` therefore a+b=6xx(4)/(3)=8`
`therefore a+b+c=14`
c=14-8=6
16.

Answer» Correct Answer - A
` x : y = 3 : 4`
`therefore (x)/(y)=(3)/(4)`
`implies (4x-y)/(2x+3y) implies (y(4(x)/(y)-1))/(y(2(x)/(y)+3))`
`implies (4xx(3)/(4)-1)/(2xx(3)/(4)+3) implies ((3-1)xx2)/(3+6) implies (4)/(9)`
`4 : 9`

99. stam of roots of the equation \( \frac{3 x^{3}-x^{2}+x-1}{3 x^{3}-x^{2}-x+1}=\frac{4 x^{3}+7 x^{2}+x+1}{4 x^{3}+7 x^{2}-x-1} \) is :(A) 0(B) 1(C) - 1(D) 2

Answer»

\(\frac{3x^3 - x^2 + x - 1}{3x^3 - x^2 - x + 1}\) \(= \frac{4x^3 + 7x^2 + x + 1}{4x^3 + 7x^2 - x - 1}\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \((3x^3 - x^2 + x - 1)\) \((4x^3 + 7x^2 - x - 1)\) \(= (4x^3 + 7x^2 + x + 1)\) \((3x^3 - x^2 - x + 1)\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(12x^6 + 17x^5 - 6x^4\) \(+\, x^3 - 7x^2 + 1\) \(= 12x^6 + 17x^5 - 8x^4\) \(-\, x^3 + 5x^2 + 1\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(8x^4 - 6x^4 + x^3 + x^3\) \(-\, 7x^2 - 5x^2 + 1 - 1 = 0\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(2x^4 + 2x^3 - 12x^2 = 0\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(x^4 + x^3 - 6x^2 = 0\)

\(\therefore\) sum of roots \(= \frac{-\text{Coefficient of}\,x^3}{\text{Coefficient of}\,x^4}\)

\(= \frac{-1}{1} = -1.\)

What is the general solution of the differential equation : \(\frac{ydx - xdy}{y} = 0\)?

Answer»

Given differential equation is \(\frac{ydx - xdy}{y} = 0\)

⇒ dx - \(\frac{x}{y}\)dy = 0

⇒ dx = \(\frac{x}{y}\)dy ⇒ \(\frac{1}{x}\)dx = \(\frac{1}{y}\)dy

\(\int \) \(\frac{1}{x}\)dx = \(\frac{1}{y}\)dy (By integrating both sides of above equation)

⇒ log x = log y + log C, where log is an integral constant.

⇒ log x = log Cy ( \(\because\) log a + log b = log ab) 

⇒ x = Cy, which is general solution of given differential equation. 

(By taking anti-log both sides of above equation. )

Hence, the general solution of the differential equation \(\frac{y dx - x dx}{y} = 0\)is x = Cy.

21.

Find two positive numbers whose sum is 16 and the sum of whose cubes is minimum.

Answer»

Let one number be x. Then other number is (16 - x) 

Let S(x) = x3 +(16 - x)3 

S1 (x) = 3x2 + 3(16 - x)2 (-1) 

S11(x) = 6x + 6(16 - x)1(+1) 

S1(x) = 0 gives, 3x2 - 3 (16 - x)2 =0 

⇒ x2 - (16 - x)2 = 0 

⇒ x2 = (16 - x)

⇒ x2 - 256 + x2 - 32x 

⇒ 32x = 256 

x = 256/32

x = 8 

Also, S11 (x) = 6(8) + 6(16 - 8) = 48 + 6(8)

= 48 + 48 = 96 > 0 

∴ By second derivative test, x = 8 is the point of local minima of s. 

Hence sum of cubes of numbers is minimum when the numbers are 8 and 16 - 8 = 8

Find the equation of the plane through the inter section of planes 3x – y + 2z – 4 = 0 and x + y - z - 2 = 0 and the point (2, 2, 1).

Answer»

Equation of any plane through the intersection of the given planes, is of the form

3x - y + 2z - 4 + λ (x + y - z - 2) = 0 

(3 + λ)x + (λ - 1)y + (2 - λ) z - (4 + 2λ) = 0 

By Data it is passes through (2, 2, 1) 

⇒ (3 + λ)2 + (λ -1)2 + (2 – λ)1 – (4 + 2λ) = 0 

⇒ 6 + 2λ + 2λ - 2 + 2 - λ - 4 - 2λ = 0 

⇒ 2 + λ = 0 

λ = - 2 

Thus the required equation is 

(3 - 2)x + (-2 -1 )y + (2 - 2)1 - (4 + 2(-2)) = 0 

x - 3y + (0)(1) - (4 - 4) = 0 

x - 3y = 0

Show that the Relation R in the set Z of integers given by R= {(x y) : 2 divides (x-y)} is an Equivalence Relation.

Answer»

→ R – {(xy): 2 divides (x - y)} 

→ R is Reflexive as 2 divides (a - a) ∀ a ∈ z. 

If (a b) ∈ R then 2 divides a - b. 

2 divides b - a Hence (ba) ∈ R 

⇒R is Symmetric. 

(ab) ∈ R and (be) ∈ R 

⇒ a - b and b-c are divisible by 2 

Now a - c = (a - b) + (b - c) = is even 

∴ a - c is divisible by 2. 

⇒ R is Transitive

R is Reflexive, Transitive, Symmetric 

∴ R is an Equivalence Relation in Z.
