The number of solutions of the system of equations 2x + y - z = 7, x - 3y + 2z = 1 and x + 4y - 3z = 5 is(a) 0 (b) 1(c) 2 (d) 3

Answer»

Correct Option: (a) 0

Explanation:

Given,

2x + y - z = 7 ...(i)

x - 3y + 2z = 1

and x + 4y - 3z = 5 ...(iii)

Multiplying (i) by 2 and then adding (i) and (ii), we get

5x - y = 15 ...(iv)

Multiplying (i) by 3 and then subtracting (iii) from (i), we get

5x - y = 16 ...(v)

Eqs. (iv) and (v) shows that they are parallel and so solution does not exist.

The point on the line 4x + 3y = 5, which is equidistant from (1, 2) and (3, 4), is(a) (7,-4) (b) (-10,15)(c) (1/7, 8/7)(d) (0, 5/4)

Answer»

Correct option: (b) (-10,15)

Explanation:

Let the point (x1, y1) be on the line 4x + 3y = 5.

∴  4x1 + 3y1 = 5 ...(i)

Distance of point (x1, y1) from (1, 2) is (x1 –1)2 + (y1 - 2)2

Distance of point (x1, y1) from (3, 4) is (x1 - 3)3 + (y1 - 4)2

It is given, point (x1, y1) is equidistant from (1, 2) and (3, 4)

(x1 –1)2 + (y1 - 2)2 = (x1 - 3)3 + (y1 - 4)2

=> x2 + 1 - 2x1 + y2 + 4 - 4y1 = x2 + 9 - 6x1 + y12 + 16 - 8y1

=> 4x1 + 4y1 = 20

=> x1 + y1 = 5 ...(ii)

From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get

y1 =15 and x1 = -10

8.

If the line x + 2ky + 3 = 0 is a diameter of the circle x2 + y2 - 6x + 2y = 0, then k is equal to(a) 3 (b) -5(c) -1 (d) 5

Answer»

Correct option: (a) 3

Explanation: 

Given,

Equation of Circle: x2 + y2 - 6x + 2y = 0

x2 + y2 - 6x + 2y = 0

=> (x - 3)2 + (y + 1)2 = 10

From the above equation,

Centre: (3, -1)

Radius: √10

Since centre lies on the diameter so,

(3, -1) will lie on the diameter x + 2ky + 3 = 0

=> 3 - 2k + 3 = 0

=> 6 - 2k =0

=> k = 3

Let a and b be real numbers such that sin sin a +  b = 1/√2 and cos a + cos b = √6/2 then the value of sin (a + b) is :(A)   1/2√2(B)   1/√3 (C)   √3/2(D)   2/√3

Answer»

Correct option (C)   √3/2

Explanation:

Given L : sin a + sin b = 1/√2  & M : cos a + cos b =  √6/2,

So L2 + M2  implies cos (a - b) = 0

while L M (using cos (a - b) = 0)

gives sin (a + b) =  √3/2

Two tunning forks P and Q when set vibration, gives 4 beats s-1 . If a prong of the fork P is filled, the beats are reduced to 2 beats s-1 . What is frequency of P, if that of Q is 250 Hz? (a) 250 Hz (b) 246 Hz (c) 252 Hz (d) 254 Hz

Answer»

Correct option (b) 246 Hz  

Explanation:

Possible frequencies of P are: (250 ± 4) Hz i.e. 246 Hz, 254 Hz 

When the prong of P is filled, its frequeney becomes greater than the original frequeney of P. 

Also the frequency of P when the prong is filled reduces to 2 beats s-1

New possible frequencies of P are: (250 ± 2) Hz i.e. 248 Hz, 252 Hz 

Since the new frequency increases from the original frequency. 

So, the new frequency will be 246 Hz.

How many σ bonds and π bonds are present in(A) 5 σ + 8 π (B) 9 σ + 7 π (C) 9 σ + 9 π (D) 5 σ + 9 π

Answer»

Correct option (C) 9 σ + 9 π
Explanation:

We know that, 

In 1 single bond = 1 σ bond, 

In 1 double bond = 1 σ bond + 1 π bond 

In 1 triple bond + 1 σ bond + 2 π bonds

The given compound has 4 single bonds which is equal to 4 σ bond. 

Also, the given compound has 1 double bond which is equal to 1 σ bond and 1 π bond.

During the adiabatic expansion of 2 moles of an ideal gas, the increase in internal energy was found to be equal to (–200 J). The work done by the gas during the process will be equal to (A) 0 (B) 400 J (C) –200 J (D) 200 J

Answer»

Correct option (D) 200 J   

Explanation:

According to first law of thermodynamics, 

∆Q − ∆W = ∆U 

For adiabatic process, ∆Q = 0

∆W = −∆U 

Therefore, the work done during adiabatic process is negative of the change in internal energy. 

Thus, the work done by the gas during the process will be equal to 200 J.

A train travels east towards Hubli at 80 km/hr. A man on the train runs from the front of the train toward the rear of the train at 10 km/hr with respect to train. As he runs, he carries a plate of fruit with him. He notices a giant spider on the plate and throws the plate away from him (toward the rear of the train) at 20 km/hr with respect to him. Just after that instant, the startled spider jumps towards the man at 5 km/hr with respect to plate. The instant after the spider jumps toward the man, how fast is the spider approaching Hubli?(A) 45km/hr (B) 115 km/hr (C) 55 km/hr (D) 95 km/hr

Answer»

Correct option (C) 55 km/hr
