Let AP(a:d) denote the set of the all terms of an inginate arithmetic progression with first term a and common difference d gt 0 if AP (I,3)cap AP(2,5)capAP(3,7)=AP(a,d) then a+d equals...........

Answer»


Solution :`(157.00)` Given that, AP(a:d)denote the SET of all terms of an infinite arithemtic progression with first TERM 'a' and common difference `dgt0`.
Now, LET `m^th` term of first progression
and `n^th` term of progression `AP(2:5)=2+(n-1)6=5n-3` .....(ii)
and `r^th` term of THIRD progression `AP(3:7)`
`3+(r-1)7=7r-4` ........(iii)
are equal Then
`3m-2=5n-3=7r-4`
Now, for `AP(1,3)capAP(2,5)capAP(3,7)`, the common terms of first and second PROGRESSIONS , `m=(5n-1)/(3)rArr n=2,5,11`,.........and the common tems of second and the third progressions. `r=(5n+1)/(7)rArrn=4,11`,......
Now the first common term of first, second and third progressions (when `n=11`), so `a=2+(11-1)6=52 `
and `d=LCM (3,5,7)=1-5`
So, `AP(1,3)capAP(2:5)capAP(3:7)=AP(52:105)`
So, `a=52and d=105 rArr a+d=157.00`

Let bar z+b bar z= c, b ne 0 be a line in the complex plane where bar b

Answer»

SOLUTION :LetQ be `z_2` and its reflection be the p `(z_1)` in the given line . If O(z) be any point on the given line then by definition OR is right bisector of QP.
`therefore ""Op=OQ or |z-z_1|=|z-z_2|`
`rArr|z-z_1|^2=|z-z_2|^2`
`rArr(z-z_1)(barz-barz_1)=(z - z_2)(barz-barz_2)`
`rArr(barz_1-barz_2)+bar z(z_1 -z_2)=z_1 bar z_1- z_2barz_2`
Comparing with given line `zbarb + bar ZB = C`
`(barz_1-barz_2)/(BARB)=(z_1-z_2)/(B)=(z_1barz_1-z_2barz_2)/c=lambda`
`(barz_1-barz_2)/(lambda)=bar b ,(z_1-z_2)/(lambda)b,(z_1barz_1-z_2 barz_2)/(lambda)c ......(i) `
`therefore barz_1 b+z_2barb=barz_1((z_1-z_2)/(lambda))+z_2((barz_1-barz_2)/(lambda))`
`=(z_1barz_1-z_2barz_2)/(lambda)=c """[from Eq. (i)]"`

Let 'P' be an interior point of Delta ABC. If angle A=45^(@), angle B=60^(@) and angle C=75^(@). If X=area of Delta PBC,Y= area of Delta PAC and Z = area of Delta PAB, then which of the following ratios is/are true ?

Answer»

If P is the centroid, then X : Y : Z is 1 : 1 : 1
If P is the incentre, then X : Y : Z is `2 :sqrt(6) :(sqrt(3)+1)`
If P the orthocentre, then X : Y : Z is `1 : sqrt(3) :(2+sqrt(3))`
If P is the circumcentre, then X : Y : Z is `2 : sqrt(3) :1`

Solution :(a)
Using properties of median, we have
`Delta PBC = Delta PCA = Delta PAB`
`therefore Delta PBC : Delta PCA : Delta PAB = 1:1:1`

`Delta PBC : Delta PCA : Delta PAB`
`=(1)/(2)ar : (1)/(2)br : (1)/(2)cr`

`Delta PBC : Delta PCA : Delta PAB`
`=(1)/(2)a(2R COS B cos C) : (1)/(2)b(2 R cos C cos A) : (1)/(2)c(2R cos A cos B)`
= sin A cos B cos C : sin B cos C cos A : sin C cos A cos B
`= tan 45^(@) : tan 60^(@) : tan 75^(@)`

Answer»

`(y-x)^(2) = 100`
`(y+x)^(2) = 50`
`(y-x)^(2) = 200`
NONE of these

Solution :`R^(2) = (10 xx 20)/("sin" theta - "cos"theta)^(2)`
`"or " (r "sin" theta - r" cos" theta)^(2) = 200`
Hence, the locus is `(y-x)^(2) = 200`.
