If `veca+vecb+vecc=vec0, |veca| = 3, |vecb| = 5, |vecc| = 7`, then angle between `veca` and `vecb` isA. ` ( pi ) /( 2 ) `B. ` ( pi ) /( 3 ) `C. ` ( pi ) /( 4 ) `D. ` ( pi ) /( 6 ) `

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Given , a + b + c = 0
and ` |a| = 5, |b| = 3, |c| = 7 `
` rArr a + b = - c `
On squaring both sides, we get
` (a + b ) ^ 2 = ( - c ) ^ 2 `
`rArr |a + b| ^ 2 = |c| ^ 2 `
` rArr |a| ^ 2 + |b| ^ 2 + 2a * b = |c| ^ 2 `
` ( because theta ` be the angle between a and b )
` rArr ( 5 ) ^ 2 + ( 3 ) ^ 2 + 2| a||b| cos theta = ( 7 ) ^ 2 `
` rArr 25 + 9 + 2* 5 * 3 * cos theta = 49`
` rArr 30 cos theta = 15 `
` rArr cos theta = ( 1 ) / ( 2 ) = cos 60 ^@ `
`rArr theta = ( pi) / ( 3 ) `

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Given that, the position vectors of the vertices A, B and C are
`OA = 6i= 6i+0j+0k `
OB =6j=0i+6j+0k
OC = k=0i+0j +k
Now, volume of the tetrahedron
` = ( 1 )/ ( 6 ) ` [OA OB OC]
= ` ( 1 ) / ( 6 ) |{:( 6,,0,,0),(0,,6,,0), ( 0,,0,,1):}| `
= ` ( 1 ) / ( 6 ) ( 6 xx 6 xx 1 ) = 6 `

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Let ` I = int _ 0 ^( oo) ( x dx ) /( (1 + x ) ( x^ 2 + 1 ) ) `
by partial fraction,
` ( x )/( ( 1 + x ) ( x^ 2 + 1 ) ) = ( A) / ( ( 1 + x ) ) + (B x + C ) /( ( x ^ 2 + 1 )) `
` rArr x = A ( x^ 2 + 1 ) + ( 1 + x ) (Bx +C ) `
` rArr x= A ( x^ 2 + 1 ) + ( B x + Bx ^ 2 + C + Cx ) `
` rArr x = ( A +B ) x^ 2 + ( B + C ) x + ( A+C ) `
On comparing both sides , we get
` A + B = 0 , B +C = 1, A +C= 0 ` ... (i)
On adding all these equations , we get
` A + B+C = ( 1 ) / ( 2 ) " " `... (ii)
` therefore A = (1 ) / ( 2 ) - 1 = - ( 1 ) / ( 2 ) , C= ( 1 )/ ( 2 ) `
and ` B = ( 1 ) / (2 ) `
` therefore I = int _ 0 ^( oo) { ( - 1 ) /( 2 ( 1 + x ) ) + ( 1 ) / ( 2) ( ( x + 1 ))/ ( ( x^ 2 + 1 ))} dx `
` = - ( 1 ) / ( 2 ) int _ 0 ^( oo) ( dx ) / ( 1 + x ) + (1 ) / ( 2 ) int _ 0 ^( oo) ( x ) /( x ^ 2 + 1 ) dx + ( 1 ) / (2 ) int _ 0^(oo) ( dx ) / ( 1 + x ^ 2 ) `
` =- (1 ) / ( 2 ) [log ( 1 + x ) ]_0 ^(oo) + (1 )/ ( 4 ) [log ( x ^ 2 + 1 ) ] _0 ^(oo) + ( 1 )/ (2 ) xx ( pi ) / (2 ) `
` = - ( 1 ) / ( 2 ) lim _ ( xto oo ) log ( 1 + x ) + (1 )/ ( 4 )`
` lim_ ( x to oo) log ( 1 + x ^2 ) + ( pi )/(4 ) `
` = lim _ ( xto oo) log [ ( ( 1 + x^ 2 ) ^ (1//4) ) / ( ( 1 + x ) ^ ( 1// 2 ) ) ] + ( pi ) /( 4 ) `
` = lim_ ( x to oo ) log [ (sqrt x (( 1 )/ ( x^ 2) + 1 ) ^ (1// 4) ) / ( sqrt x ( ( 1 )/ ( x ) + 1 )^ (1// 2 ) ) ] + (pi )/ ( 4 ) `
` =log ""( ( 0 + 1 ) ^ (1//4))/( ( 0 + 1 )^(1//2 ) ) + ( pi) / ( 4 ) `
` = log ( 1 ) + ( pi ) / (4 ) = 0 + (pi ) /(4 ) = ( pi ) / ( 4 ) `

(let ` t = x^n + 1, dt = nx ^ ( n - 1 ) dx` )
` = int ( dx ) /( nx^n * t ) " " ( ( dt ) /( nx ^n ) = ( dx ) / ( x )) `
` = ( 1 )/ ( n ) int (dt ) /( t ( t - 1 )) `
` = ( 1 )/( n ) int { ( 1 )/( t - 1 ) - ( 1 )/ (t )} dt `
` = ( 1 )/ (n ) { log ( t- 1 ) - log t } + C `
`= ( 1 )/ ( n ) log (t - 1 ) /( t ) +C `

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Let ` a = 4i - j + 3k, b = - 2i + j - 2 k `
and ` c =x i + yj + zk `
Given ` a * c = 0 `
i.e., ` 4 x -y + 3z= 0 " " `… (i)
and ` b * c = 0 `
i.e., ` - 2x + y -2z = 0 " " `...(ii )
Also, `|c | = 9 `
i.e., ` x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 + z ^ 2 = 81 " " `... (iii)
Now, from Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
` 2x + z = 0 rArr z = - 2x `
On putting this value in Eq. (iii), we get
` x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 + 4 x^ 2 = 81 `
` rArr 5x^ 2 + y ^ 2 = 81 " " `... (iv)
On multiplying Eq. (i) by 2 and Eq. (ii) by 3 and then adding , we get
` {:( 8x - 2y + 6 z= 0 ), (ul(-6x + 3y - 6z = 0 )), ( 2x + y = 0 ) :} `
` rArr y = - 2x `
On putting this value in Eq. (iv) , we get
` 5x ^ 2 + 4x ^ 2 = 8 1 `
` rArr 9 x ^ 2 = 81 `
` rArr x ^ 2 = 9 `
` rArr x = pm 3 `
` therefore y = pm 6 and z = pm 6 `
` therefore ` Required vector, ` c = x i + yj + zk `
` = pm 3i pm 6j pm 6 k `
` = 3i - 6 j - 6k `
` = -3i + 6j + 6k`

` I = ( 1 ) /( 2 ) int _ 0 ^( pi) log ( 1 - cos ^( 2 ) x ) dx `
` = ( 1 ) /( 2 ) int _0 ^(pi) log sin ^2 x dx `
` = int _ 0^(pi ) log sin x dx `

` { because int _0 ^ ( 2a ) f ( x ) dx = 2 int_ 0 ^ ( a ) f (x ) dx, if f ( 2a - x ) =f ( x ) } `
` = 2{ - ( pi ) / ( 2 ) log 2} `
` ( because int _ 0 ^( pi//2 ) log sin x dx = - ( pi ) /( 2 ) log 2 ) `
` = pi log"" ( 1 )/ ( 2 ) `

`underset ("4.0 M") (BaCl_2)hArr Ba^( 2 + ) + underset ( 2xx 4.0 M) ( 2Cl^-) `
` therefore ` Molar concentration of
` Cl^- = ( M _ 1 V _ 1 + M _ 2 V _ 2 ) /( V _ 1 + V _ 2 ) `
` = (3.0 xx 300 + 2 xx 4.0 xx 200 ) /( 300 + 200 ) `
` = ( 900 + 1600 )/( 500 ) `
` = 5.0 M `

If ` x^(p) + y^(q) = (x + y)^(p+q) , " then" (dy)/(dx)` isA. ` - ( x ) /( y ) `B. ` ( x ) /( y ) `C. `- ( y ) / ( x ) `D. ` ( y ) /( x ) `

Answer» Correct Answer - D
if ` x ^p + y ^ q = ( x + y ) ^ ( p + q ) `
Taking log on both sides ,
` p log x + q log y = ( p + q ) log ( x + y ) `
On differentiating w.r.t x, we get
`( p ) /( x ) + ( q ) /( y ) * ( dy ) /( dx ) = (( p + q ))/( ( x + y)) ( 1 + (dy ) /(dx )) `
` { (p) / ( x ) - ( p+ q )/( x + y )} = { ( p + q )/( x + y ) - ( q )/( y ) } (dy ) /( dx ) `
` { ( px + py - px - qx ) /( x ( x + y ))} = { ( py + qy - qx - qy ) /( y ( x + y ))} (dy)/(dx ) `
` rArr (( py - qx ) ) /( x ) = ((py- qx ) ) / (y ) * ( d y ) / ( dx ) `
`rArr ( dy)/ (dx ) = (y )/ ( x ) `

All points on the curve `y^(2)=4a(x+a" sin"(x)/(a))` at which the tangents are parallel to the axis of x lie on aA. circleB. parabolaC. straight lineD. None of these

Answer» Correct Answer - B
` y ^ 2 = 4a [ x + a sin (( x ) /( a ))]" " `…(i)
` therefore 2y ( dy )/ ( dx ) = 4a [ 1 + cos ( ( x )/(a )) ]" " `… (ii)
If tangent is parallel to x - axis , then
` (dy ) /( dx ) = 0 `
So, from Eq. (i), we get
` cos (( x )/( a )) = - 1 `
` therefore sin (( x )/( a ))= 0 `
On putting this value in Eq. (i) , we get
` y^ 2 = 4a ( x + 0 ) rArr y ^ 2 = 4a x `
So, all the points on the curve
` y^ 2 = 4a ( x + a sin "" ( x ) /( a )) `,
where the tangents is parallel to the x-axis are lies on parabola.

The equation of directrix is to the parabola ` 4x ^ 2 - 4x - 2y + 3 = 0 ` will beA. `2y = 1 `B. ` 2x = 1 `C. `2y = 3 `D. ` 2x = 3 `

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Given parabola , ` 4x ^ 2 - 4x - 2y + 3= 0 `
` rArr 4 ( x ^ 2 - x ) = 2y - 3 `
` rArr 4 ( x ^ 2 - x + ( 1 ) /( 4 ) - ( 1 )/( 4 )) = 2y - 3 `
` rArr ( x - ( 1 ) /( 2 ) ) ^ 2 = 2y - 2 `
` rArr ( x - (1 ) /(2 ) ) ^ 2 = 2 ( y -1 ) `
Which is of form
` X^ 2 = 4aY `
where , ` X = x - (1 ) / ( 2 ) and Y = y - 1 `
and ` a = (1 )/ ( 2 ) `
` therefore ` Directrix, ` Y + a = 0 `
` rArr y - 1 + ( 1 ) / ( 2 ) = 0 `
` rArr y - ( 1 ) / ( 2 ) = 0 `
` rArr 2y = 1 `

The length of normal at any point to the curve, `y=c cosh(x/c)` isA. fixedB. ` ( y^ 2 )/( c^ 2 ) `C. ` (y ^ 2 ) /( c ) `D. ` ( y ) /( c ^ 2 ) `

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Given `, y = c cos h (( x)/ ( c )) `
` ( d y ) /( dx ) = c * ( 1 )/ (c ) * sin h (( x )/ ( c )) = sin h ( ( x )/( c )) `
Now, length of normal
` = y sqrt ( 1 + (( dy )/( dx ))^ 2 ) `
` = c cos h ( ( x )/( c )) sqrt ( 1 + sin ^ 2 h (( x )/ (c )) ) `
` = c cos h (( x )/ (c )) sqrt ( cos h^ 2 ( ( x )/( c )) ) `
` = c[ cos h (( x )/ ( c))]^ 2 `
` = c (( y ) / ( c ))^ 2 " " `[from Eq. (i) ]
` = ( y^ 2 )/( c ) `

If ` tan x = (2t)/(1 -t^(2)) " and sin y" = (2t)/(1 + t^(2))` , then the value of ` (dy)/(dx)` isA. 1B. tC. ` ( 1 ) /( 1 - t ) `D. ` ( 1 ) /( 1 + t ) `

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Given, ` tan x = ( 2t )/( 1- t ^ 2 ) and sin y = ( 2t ) /( 1 + t ^ 2 ) `
Now,` x =tan ^( -1 ) ( ( 2t ) /( 1- t^ 2)) `
` x = 2 tan ^( - 1 ) t " " `… (i)
and ` y = sin ^( - 1 ) ((2t ) /( 1 + t^2 )) `
` y = 2 tan ^( -1 ) t " " `... (ii)
From Eq. (i)
` (dx )/ ( dt ) = ( 2 )/( 1 +t ^ 2 ) `
From Eq. (ii)
` ( dy )/( dt ) = ( 2 )/( 1 + t^ 2 ) `
` therefore (dy )/(dx) = ( dy ) /(dt ) xx ( dt ) /( dx ) = ( 2 ) /( (1 + t^ 2 )) xx (( 1 + t^ 2 ))/( 2 ) = 1 `

The line `lx+my+n=0` is a normal to the parabola `y^2 = 4ax` ifA. `mn = al ^ 2 `B. ` lm = an ^ 2 `C. `ln = am ^ 2 `D. None of the above

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Given ,parabola, ` y ^ 2 = 4 ax `
` rArr 2y ( dy ) /( dx ) = 4a `
` rArr ( d y ) /( dx ) = (2a ) /( y ) " " ` … (i)
which is the slope of tangent
Given ` lx + my + n = 0 `
is an equation of tangent of the parabola
`y^ 2 =4a x `
` therefore ` Slope of tangent ` = - ( 1 ) /( m ) " "` ... (ii)
From Eqs (i) and (ii)
` (2a )/( y ) = - ( l ) / ( m ) rArr y = ( - 2am ) /( l ) `
` because y ^ 2 = 4ax `
` rArr ( 4a ^ 2 m^ 2 ) /( l ^ 2 ) = 4ax`
` rArr x = ( am^ 2 ) /( l^ 2 ) `
On putting the values of x and y in the following equation
` l ( ( am^2 ) /( l^2 )) +m ( ( -2 am ) /( l ) ) + n = 0`
` ( am ^ 2 ) /( l ) -(2am ^ 2 ) /( l) + n = 0 `
` rArr ( am^ 2 ) / ( l) = n rArr am ^ 2 = n l`
Which is the required relation.
