Solution

f(x)=x23x2xx[1,2]f(x)=\left|x^2-3 x-2\right|-x \forall x \in[-1,2] f(x)={x24x2 if 1x<3172x2+2x+2 if 3172x2\Rightarrow f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{l}x^2-4 x-2 \text{ if }-1 \leq x<\dfrac{3-\sqrt{17}}{2} \\ -x^2+2 x+2 \text{ if } \dfrac{3-\sqrt{17}}{2} \leq x \leq 2\end{array}\right. f(x)max=3f(x)_{\max }=3 f(x)min=f(3172)f(x)_{\min }=f\left(\dfrac{3-\sqrt{17}}{2}\right) =1732=\dfrac{\sqrt{17}-3}{2}

Q123
Let S be the set of all the natural numbers, for which the line xa+yb=2{x \over a} + {y \over b} = 2 is a tangent to the curve (xa)n+(yb)n=2{\left( {{x \over a}} \right)^n} + {\left( {{y \over b}} \right)^n} = 2 at the point (a, b), ab \ne 0. Then :
A S = ϕ\phi
B n(S) = 1
C S = {2k : k \in N}
D S = N
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution
(xa)n+(yb)n=2{\left( {{x \over a}} \right)^n} + {\left( {{y \over b}} \right)^n} = 2

Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get

n.(xa)na.1a+n.(yb)n1.1b.dydx=0\Rightarrow n\,.\,{\left( {{x \over a}} \right)^{n - a}}\,.\,{1 \over a} + n\,.\,{\left( {{y \over b}} \right)^{n - 1}}\,.\,{1 \over b}\,.\,{{dy} \over {dx}} = 0
dydx=1a.(xa)n11b(yb)n1\Rightarrow {{dy} \over {dx}} = - {{{1 \over a}\,.\,{{\left( {{x \over a}} \right)}^{n - 1}}} \over {{1 \over b}{{\left( {{y \over b}} \right)}^{n - 1}}}}
=ba(xbya)n1= - {b \over a}{\left( {{{xb} \over {ya}}} \right)^{n - 1}}

Now,

dydx{{dy} \over {dx}}

at (a, b)

=ba[abba]n1=ba= - {b \over a}{\left[ {{{ab} \over {ba}}} \right]^{n - 1}} = - {b \over a}

Equation of tangent at (a, b) is,

(yb)=ba(xa)(y - b) = - {b \over a}(x - a)
ybb=xaa\Rightarrow {{y - b} \over b} = - {{x - a} \over a}
yb1=xa+1\Rightarrow {y \over b} - 1 = - {x \over a} + 1
xa+yb=2\Rightarrow {x \over a} + {y \over b} = 2

\therefore It is tangent for all value of n.

Q124
Consider a cuboid of sides 2x, 4x and 5x and a closed hemisphere of radius r. If the sum of their surface areas is a constant k, then the ratio x : r, for which the sum of their volumes is maximum, is :
A 2 : 5
B 19 : 45
C 3 : 8
D 19 : 15
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

\because

s1+s2=k{s_1} + {s_2} = k
76x2+3πr2=k76{x^2} + 3\pi {r^2} = k

\therefore

152xdxdr+6πr=0152x{{dx} \over {dr}} + 6\pi r = 0

\therefore

dxdr=6πr152x{{dx} \over {dr}} = {{ - 6\pi r} \over {152x}}

Now

V=40x3+23πr3V = 40{x^3} + {2 \over 3}\pi {r^3}

\therefore

dvdr=120x2.dxdr+2πr2=0{{dv} \over {dr}} = 120{x^2}\,.\,{{dx} \over {dr}} + 2\pi {r^2} = 0
120x2.(6π152rx)+2πr2=0\Rightarrow 120{x^2}\,.\,\left( {{{ - 6\pi } \over {152}}{r \over x}} \right) + 2\pi {r^2} = 0
120(xr)=2π(1526π)\Rightarrow 120\left( {{x \over r}} \right) = 2\pi \left( {{{152} \over {6\pi }}} \right)
(xr)=15231120=1945\Rightarrow \left( {{x \over r}} \right) = {{152} \over 3}{1 \over {120}} = {{19} \over {45}}
Q125
Water is being filled at the rate of 1 cm3 / sec in a right circular conical vessel (vertex downwards) of height 35 cm and diameter 14 cm. When the height of the water level is 10 cm, the rate (in cm2 / sec) at which the wet conical surface area of the vessel increases is
A 5
B 215{{\sqrt {21} } \over 5}
C 265{{\sqrt {26} } \over 5}
D 2610{{\sqrt {26} } \over {10}}
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

\because

V=13πr2hV = {1 \over 3}\pi {r^2}h

and

rh=735=15{r \over h} = {7 \over {35}} = {1 \over 5}
V=175πh3\Rightarrow V = {1 \over {75}}\pi {h^3}
dVdt=125πh2dhdt=1{{dV} \over {dt}} = {1 \over {25}}\pi {h^2}{{dh} \over {dt}} = 1
dhdt=25πh2\Rightarrow {{dh} \over {dt}} = {{25} \over {\pi {h^2}}}

Now,

S=πrl=π(h5)h2+h225=π2526h2S = \pi rl = \pi \left( {{h \over 5}} \right)\sqrt {{h^2} + {{{h^2}} \over {25}}} = {\pi \over {25}}\sqrt {26} {h^2}
dSdt=226πh25.dhdt=226h\Rightarrow {{dS} \over {dt}} = {{2\sqrt {26} \pi h} \over {25}}\,.\,{{dh} \over {dt}} = {{2\sqrt {26} } \over h}
dSdt(h=10)=265\Rightarrow {{dS} \over {d{t_{(h = 10)}}}} = {{\sqrt {26} } \over 5}
Q126
If the angle made by the tangent at the point (x0, y0) on the curve x=12(t+sintcost)x = 12(t + \sin t\cos t), y=12(1+sint)2y = 12{(1 + \sin t)^2}, $$0 0 is equal to:
A 6(3+22)6\left( {3 + 2\sqrt 2 } \right)
B 3(7+43)3\left( {7 + 4\sqrt 3 } \right)
C 27
D 48
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

\because

dydx=24(1+sint)cost12(1+cos2t)=1+sintcost=tan(π4+t2){{dy} \over {dx}} = {{24(1 + \sin t)\cos t} \over {12(1 + \cos 2t)}} = {{1 + \sin t} \over {\cos t}} = \tan \left( {{\pi \over 4} + {t \over 2}} \right)

\because

dydx(x0,y0)=3=tan(π4+t2){{dy} \over {d{x_{({x_0},{y_0})}}}} = \sqrt 3 = \tan \left( {{\pi \over 4} + {t \over 2}} \right)
t=π6\Rightarrow t = {\pi \over 6}

So,

y0(att=π6)=12(1+sinπ6)2=27{y_{0\left( {at\,t = {\pi \over 6}} \right)}} = 12{\left( {1 + \sin {\pi \over 6}} \right)^2} = 27
Q127
The slope of normal at any point (x, y), x > 0, y > 0 on the curve y = y(x) is given by x2xyx2y21{{{x^2}} \over {xy - {x^2}{y^2} - 1}}. If the curve passes through the point (1, 1), then e . y(e) is equal to
A 1tan(1)1+tan(1){{1 - \tan (1)} \over {1 + \tan (1)}}
B tan(1)
C 1
D 1+tan(1)1tan(1){{1 + \tan (1)} \over {1 - \tan (1)}}
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

\because

dxdy=x2xyx2y21- {{dx} \over {dy}} = {{{x^2}} \over {xy - {x^2}{y^2} - 1}}

\therefore

dydx=x2y2xy+1x2{{dy} \over {dx}} = {{{x^2}{y^2} - xy + 1} \over {{x^2}}}

Let

xy=vy+xdydx=dvdxxy = v \Rightarrow y + x{{dy} \over {dx}} = {{dv} \over {dx}}

\therefore

dvdxy=(v2v+1)yv{{dv} \over {dx}} - y = {{({v^2} - v + 1)y} \over v}

\therefore

dvdx=v2+1x{{dv} \over {dx}} = {{{v^2} + 1} \over x}

\because

y(1)=1tan1(xy)=lnx+tan1(1)y(1) = 1 \Rightarrow {\tan ^{ - 1}}(xy) = \ln x + {\tan ^{ - 1}}(1)

Put

x=ex = e

and

y=y(e)y = y(e)

we get

tan1(e.y(e))=1+tan11{\tan ^{ - 1}}(e\,.\,y(e)) = 1 + {\tan ^{ - 1}}1
tan1(e.y(e))tan11=1{\tan ^{ - 1}}(e\,.\,y(e)) - {\tan ^{ - 1}}1 = 1

\therefore

e(y(e))=1+tan(1)1tan(1)e(y(e)) = {{1 + \tan (1)} \over {1 - \tan (1)}}
Q128
Let λ\lambda^ * be the largest value of λ\lambda for which the function fλ(x)=4λx336λx2+36x+48{f_\lambda }(x) = 4\lambda {x^3} - 36\lambda {x^2} + 36x + 48 is increasing for all x \in R. Then fλ(1)+fλ(1){f_{{\lambda ^ * }}}(1) + {f_{{\lambda ^ * }}}( - 1) is equal to :
A 36
B 48
C 64
D 72
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

\because

fλ(x)=4λx336λx2+36λ+48{f_\lambda }(x) = 4\lambda {x^3} - 36\lambda {x^2} + 36\lambda + 48

\therefore

fλ(x)=12(λx26λx+3)f{'_\lambda }(x) = 12(\lambda {x^2} - 6\lambda x + 3)

For

fλ(x){f_\lambda }(x)

increasing :

(6λ)212λ0{(6\lambda )^2} - 12\lambda \le 0

\therefore

λ[0,13]\lambda \in \left[ {0,\,{1 \over 3}} \right]

\therefore

λ=13\lambda^ * = {1 \over 3}

Now,

fλ(x)=43x312x2+36x+48f_\lambda ^*(x) = {4 \over 3}{x^3} - 12{x^2} + 36x + 48

\therefore

fλ(1)+fλ(1)=7312112=72f_\lambda ^*(1) + f_\lambda ^*( - 1) = 73{1 \over 2} - 1{1 \over 2} = 72
Q129
The surface area of a balloon of spherical shape being inflated, increases at a constant rate. If initially, the radius of balloon is 3 units and after 5 seconds, it becomes 7 units, then its radius after 9 seconds is :
A 9
B 10
C 11
D 12
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

We know, Surface area of balloon (s) = 4π\pir2 \therefore

dsdt=ddt(4πr2){{ds} \over {dt}} = {d \over {dt}}(4\pi {r^2})
dsdt=4π(2r)×drdt\Rightarrow {{ds} \over {dt}} = 4\pi (2r) \times {{dr} \over {dt}}
dsdt=8πr×drdt\Rightarrow {{ds} \over {dt}} = 8\pi r \times {{dr} \over {dt}}

Given that, surface area of balloon is increasing in constant rate. \therefore

dsdt{{ds} \over {dt}}

= constant = k (Assume)

k=8πr.drdt\Rightarrow k = 8\pi r\,.\,{{dr} \over {dt}}
kdt=8πrdr\Rightarrow \int {k\,dt = \int {8\pi r\,dr} }
kt=8π×r22+c\Rightarrow kt = 8\pi \times {{{r^2}} \over 2} + c
kt=4πr2+c\Rightarrow kt = 4\pi {r^2} + c

..... (1) Given at t = 0, radius r = 3 So,

0=4π(32)+c0 = 4\pi ({3^2}) + c
c=36π\Rightarrow c = - 36\pi

\therefore Equation (1) becomes

kt=4πr236πkt = 4\pi {r^2} - 36\pi

Also given, at t = 5, radius r = 7 \therefore

k(5)=4π(7)236k(5) = 4\pi {(7)^2} - 36
k=32π\Rightarrow k = 32\pi

\therefore Equation (1) is

32πt=4πr236π32\pi t = 4\pi {r^2} - 36\pi

Now at

t=9t = 9
32π(9)=4πr236π\Rightarrow 32\pi (9) = 4\pi {r^2} - 36\pi
8×9=r29\Rightarrow 8 \times 9 = {r^2} - 9
r2=81r=9\Rightarrow {r^2} = 81 \Rightarrow r = 9
