Solution :Given equation of family of lines is
`(2x+y-3)+lambda(x+2y-3) =0, lambda in R.`
The family of lines is concurrent at point of intersection of 2x+y-3 = 0 and x+2y-3=0 which is A(1,1).
Two members `L_(1)" and "L_(2)` of this family and line x+y=0 form an equilateral TRIANGLE.
Let foot of perpendicular from A(1, 1) on the line x+y=0 be M(h,K).
`(h-1)/(1) = (k-1)/(1) = (-(1+1))/(2)`
`therefore M-=(h,k)-=(0,0)`
SINCE triangle is equilateral, AM is median, altitude and angle bisector.
`AM= sqrt((1-0)^(2)+(1-0)^(2)) = sqrt(2)`
Incentre coincides with centroid G such that AG `=(2)/(3)sqrt(2)`.
`"Slope of " AM is 1 = "TAN" 45^(@)`.
`therefore G-=(1-(2sqrt(2))/(3)"cos" 45^(@), 1-(2sqrt(2))/(3)"sin" 45^(@))`

Prove that .^(n)C_(1) + 2 xx .^(n)C_(2) + 3 xx .^(n)C_(3) + "…." + n xx .^(n)C_(n) = n2^(n-1). Hence, prove that .^(n)C_(1).(.^(n)C_(2))^(2).(.^(n)C_(3))^(3)"......."(.^(n)C_(n))^(n) le ((2^(n))/(n+1))^(.^(n+1)C_(2)) AA n in N.

Answer»

Solution :Method I :
`.^(N)C_(1) + 2.^(n)C_(2)+3.^(n)C_(3)+"….."+n.^(n)C_(n)`
`=underset(R=1)overset(n)sumr.^(n)C_(r)`
`= n underset(r=1)overset(n)sum.^(n-1)C_(r-1)`
`= n(.^(n-1)C_(0) + .^(n-1)C_(1) + .^(n-1)C_(2) + .^(n-1)C_(3)+"…."+.^(n-1)C_(n-1))`
`= n2^(n-1)`
Method II :
We have `(1+x)^(n) = .^(n)C_(0) + .^(n)C_(1)x+.^(n)C_(2)x^(2)+"...."+.^(n)C_(n)x^(n)`
Differentiatingw.r.t x, we get
`n(1+x)^(n-1)= .^(n)C_(1)+2 xx .^(n)C_(2)x + 3 xx .^(n)C_(3)x^(2) +"......" + n xx .^(n)C_(n)x^(n-1)`
PUTTING `x = 1`, we get
`n2^( n-1) = .^(n)C_(1)+2xx .^(n)C_(2) + "....." + n xx .^(n)C_(n)`
USING `A.M. ge G.M.`, we get
`(.^(n)C_(1)+2.^(n)C_(2)+3.^(n)C_(3)+".....+n.^(n)C_(n))/((n(n+1))/(2))`
`[(.^(n)C_(1))(.^(n)C_(2))^(2)(.^(n)C_(3))^(3)"....."(.^(n)C_(n))^(n)]^((1)/((pi(n-1))/2))`
`rArr (n2^(n-1))/((n(n+1))/(2))ge [(.^(n)C_(1))(.^(n)C_(2))^(2)(.^(n)C_(3))^(3)"....."(.^(n)C_(n))^(n)]^((2)/(n(n+1)))`
`(.^(n)C_(1))(.^(n)C_(2))^(2)(.^(n)C_(3))^(3)"....."(.^(n)C_(n))^(n)le((2^(n))/(n+1))^((n(n+1))/(2))`
or`(.^(n)C_(1))(.^(n)C_(2))^(2)(.^(n)C_(3))^(3)"....."(.^(n)C_(n))^(n)le((2^(n))/(n+1))^(.^(n+1)C_(2))`

If the ellipse x^(2)+k^(2)y^(2)=k^(2)a^(2) is confocal with the hyperbola x^(2)-y^(2)=a^(2), then match the following lists and choose the correct code.

Answer»


Solution :FOCUS of ellipse `-=(kae_(1),0)`
and Focus of hyperbola `-=(ae_(2),0)`
Now, `kae_(1)=ae_(2)`
`rArr""sqrt(1-(a^(2))/(k^(2)a^(2)))=sqrt(1+(a^(2))/(a^(2)))`
`rArr""k^(2)-1=2`
`therefore""k= pmsqrt3`
a. `(e_(2))/(e_(1))=k=SQRT3` ltBrgt b. Major axis of ellipse = 2ka
and
Transverse axis of hyperbola = 2A
`therefore""(2ka)/(2a)=k=sqrt3`
C. Since curves are confocal, they are orthogonal.
`therefore""theta=(pi)/(2)`
d. Latus rectum of ellipse and hyperbola are`(2a^(2))/(ak) and (2a^(2))/(a)`, respectively.
`therefore""(2a//k)/(2a)=(1)/(k)=(1)/(sqrt3)`

A certain coin is tossed with probability of showing head being 'p'. Let 'q' denotes the probability that when the coin is tossed four times the number of heads obtained is even. Then

Answer»

there is no value of `p`, if `q=(1)/(4)`
there is exactly ONE value of `p`, if `q=(3)/(4)`
there are exactly three value of `p`, if `q=(3)/(5)`
there are exactly four value of `p`, if `q=(4)/(5)`

Solution :`(a,c)` We have `q=P(0H or 2H or 4H)`
`:.q=p^(4)+^(4)C_(2)p^(2)(1-p)^(2)+(1-p)^(4)`
`=8p^(4)-16p^(3)+12p^(2)-4p+1`
`=((2p-1)^(4)+1)/(2)`
Now put the values and check.
