Q71
Let ƒ : [0, 2] \to R be a twice differentiable function such that ƒ''(x) > 0, for all x \in (0, 2). If ϕ\phi (x) = ƒ(x) + ƒ(2 – x), then ϕ\phi is :
A decreasing on (0, 2)
B decreasing on (0, 1) and increasing on (1, 2)
C increasing on (0, 2)
D increasing on (0, 1) and decreasing on (1, 2)
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

ϕ\phi(x) = ƒ(x) + ƒ(2 – x) \Rightarrow ϕ\phi'(x) = ƒ'(x) - ƒ'(2 – x) Since ƒ''(x) > 0 for all x

\in

(0, 2) \Rightarrow ƒ'(x) is an increasing function for all x

\in

(0, 2).

Case 1 : When ϕ\phi(x) is increasing function So ϕ\phi'(x) > 0 \Rightarrow ƒ'(x) - ƒ'(2 – x) > 0 \Rightarrow ƒ'(x) > ƒ'(2 – x) \Rightarrow x > 2 – x \Rightarrow x > 1 \therefore ϕ\phi(x) is increasing on (1, 2).

Case 2 : When ϕ\phi(x) is decreasing function So ϕ\phi'(x) < 0 \Rightarrow ƒ'(x) - ƒ'(2 – x) < 0 \Rightarrow ƒ'(x) < ƒ'(2 – x) \Rightarrow x < 2 – x \Rightarrow x < 1 \therefore ϕ\phi(x) is decreasing on (0, 1).

Q72
Given that the slope of the tangent to a curve y = y(x) at any point (x, y) is 2yx22y \over x^2. If the curve passes through the centre of the circle x2 + y2 – 2x – 2y = 0, then its equation is :
A x loge|y| = 2(x – 1)
B x2 loge|y| = –2(x – 1)
C x loge|y| = x – 1
D x loge|y| = –2(x – 1)
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

Slope,

dydx{{dy} \over {dx}}

=

2yx22y \over x^2

\Rightarrow

dyy=2dxx2\int {{{dy} \over y}} = \int {2{{dx} \over {{x^2}}}}

\Rightarrow

logey=2x+C{\log _e}|y| = - {2 \over x} + C

.......

(1) Center of the circle x2 + y2 – 2x – 2y = 0 is (1, 1) Equation (1) passes through point (1, 1) \therefore 0 = -2 + C \Rightarrow C = 2 \therefore

logey=2x+2{\log _e}|y| = - {2 \over x} + 2

\Rightarrow x

logey=2+2x{\log _e}|y| = - 2 + 2x

\Rightarrow x

logey=2(x1){\log _e}|y| = 2(x - 1)
Q73
The function, f(x) = (3x – 7)x2/3, x \in R, is increasing for all x lying in :
A (,0)(37,)\left( { - \infty ,0} \right) \cup \left( {{3 \over 7},\infty } \right)
B (,0)(1415,)\left( { - \infty ,0} \right) \cup \left( {{{14} \over {15}},\infty } \right)
C (,1415)\left( { - \infty ,{{14} \over {15}}} \right)
D (,1415)(0,)\left( { - \infty ,{{14} \over {15}}} \right) \cup \left( {0,\infty } \right)
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

f(x) = (3x – 7)x2/3 f’(x) =

(3x7)23x1/3+x23.3\left( {3x - 7} \right){2 \over {3{x^{1/3}}}} + {x^{{2 \over 3}}}.3

=

6x149x3x1/3{{6x - 14 - 9x} \over {3{x^{1/3}}}}

=

15x143x1/3{{15x - 14} \over {3{x^{1/3}}}}

As f(x) increasing so f'(x) > 0 \therefore

15x143x1/3{{15x - 14} \over {3{x^{1/3}}}}

> 0 \therefore x

\in
(,0)(1415,)\left( { - \infty ,0} \right) \cup \left( {{{14} \over {15}},\infty } \right)
Q74
The equation of the normal to the curve y = (1+x)2y + cos 2(sin–1x) at x = 0 is :
A y = 4x + 2
B x + 4y = 8
C y + 4x = 2
D 2y + x = 4
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

Given equation of curve y = (1+x)2y + cos 2(sin–1x) at x = 0 \Rightarrow y = (1 + 0)2y + cos2(sin–10) \Rightarrow y = 1 + 1 \Rightarrow y = 2 So we have to find the normal at (0, 2) Now, y =

e2yln(1+x)+cos2(cos11x2){e^{2y\ln \left( {1 + x} \right)}} + {\cos ^2}\left( {{{\cos }^{ - 1}}\sqrt {1 - {x^2}} } \right)

\Rightarrow y =

e2yln(1+x)+(1x2)2{e^{2y\ln \left( {1 + x} \right)}} + {\left( {\sqrt {1 - {x^2}} } \right)^2}

\Rightarrow y =

e2yln(1+x)+(1x2){e^{2y\ln \left( {1 + x} \right)}} + \left( {1 - {x^2}} \right)

Now differentiate w.r.t. x y' =

e2yln(1+x)[2y.(11+x)+ln(1+x).2y]{e^{2y\ln \left( {1 + x} \right)}}\left[ {2y.\left( {{1 \over {1 + x}}} \right) + \ln \left( {1 + x} \right).2y'} \right]

- 2x Put x = 0 & y = 2 \Rightarrow y' =

e2yln(1+0)[2y.(11+0)+ln(1+0).2y]2×0{e^{2y\ln \left( {1 + 0} \right)}}\left[ {2y.\left( {{1 \over {1 + 0}}} \right) + \ln \left( {1 + 0} \right).2y'} \right] - 2 \times 0

\Rightarrow y' = e0 [4 + 0] – 0 \Rightarrow y' = 4 = slope of tangent to the curve so slope of normal to the curve = -

14{1 \over 4}

Hence equation of normal at (0, 2) is y - 2 = -

14{1 \over 4}

(x - 0) \Rightarrow 4y – 8 = –x \Rightarrow x + 4y = 8

Q75
If the surface area of a cube is increasing at a rate of 3.6 cm2/sec, retaining its shape; then the rate of change of its volume (in cm3/sec), when the length of a side of the cube is 10 cm, is :
A 9
B 10
C 18
D 20
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

For cube of side 'a' A = 6a2 and V = a3 Given

dAdt=3.6{{dA} \over {dt}} = 3.6

\Rightarrow

12adadt12a{{da} \over {dt}}

= 3.6

dVdt=3a2.dadt=3a2(3.612a){{dV} \over {dt}} = 3{a^2}.{{da} \over {dt}} = 3{a^2}\left( {{{3.6} \over {12a}}} \right)

at a = 10

dVdt=9{{dV} \over {dt}} = 9
Q76
Let f be a twice differentiable function on (1, 6). If f(2) = 8, f’(2) = 5, f’(x) \ge 1 and f''(x) \ge 4, for all x \in (1, 6), then :
A f(5) \le 10
B f(5) + f'(5) \ge 28
C f(5) + f'(5) \le 26
D f'(5) + f''(5) \le 20
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

Given,

f(x)1f'(x) \ge 1

\therefore

25f(x)dx25dx\int_2^5 {f'(x)} dx\, \ge \,\int_2^5 {dx}
f(5)f(2)3\Rightarrow f(5) - f(2) \ge 3
f(5)83\Rightarrow f(5) - 8 \ge 3
f(5)11\Rightarrow f(5) \ge 11

...(1) Also,

f(x)4f''(x) \ge 4

\therefore

25f(x)dx254dx\int_2^5 {f''(x)} dx\, \ge \,\int_2^5 {4dx}
f(5)f(2)4(3)\Rightarrow f'(5) - f'(2) \ge 4(3)
f(5)512\Rightarrow f'(5) - 5 \ge 12
f(5)17\Rightarrow f'(5) \ge 17

...(2) From (1) and (2),

f(5)+f(5)11+17f'(5) + f'(5) \ge 11 + 17
f(5)+f(5)28\Rightarrow f'(5) + f'(5) \ge 28
Q77
The area (in sq. units) of the largest rectangle ABCD whose vertices A and B lie on the x-axis and vertices C and D lie on the parabola, y = x2–1 below the x-axis, is :
A 133{1 \over {3\sqrt 3 }}
B 233{2 \over {3\sqrt 3 }}
C 433{4 \over {3\sqrt 3 }}
D 43{4 \over 3}
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

Area (A) = 2t. (1-t2) (0 < t < 1) A = 2t - 2t3

dAdt=26t2{{dA} \over {dt}} = 2 - 6{t^2}

= 0 \Rightarrow

t=t =

±\pm

13{1 \over {\sqrt 3 }}

\therefore

Amax=23(113)=433{A_{\max }} = |{2 \over {\sqrt 3 }}\left( {1 - {1 \over 3}} \right)| = {4 \over {3\sqrt 3 }}
Q78
If the point P on the curve, 4x2 + 5y2 = 20 is farthest from the point Q(0, -4), then PQ2 is equal to:
A 36
B 48
C 21
D 29
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

Given ellipse is

x25+y24=1{{{x^2}} \over 5} + {{{y^2}} \over 4} = 1

Let point P is

(5cosθ,2sinθ)(\sqrt 5 \cos \theta ,\,2\sin \theta )
(PQ)2=5cos2θ+(2sinθ+4)2{(PQ)^2}=5{\cos ^2}\theta + {(2\sin \theta + 4)^2}

\Rightarrow (PQ)2 =

5cos2θ+4sin2θ+16sinθ+165{\cos ^2}\theta + 4{\sin ^2}\theta + 16\sin \theta + 16

\Rightarrow (PQ)2 =

cos2θ+4cos2θ+4sin2θ+16sinθ+16{\cos ^2}\theta + 4{\cos ^2}\theta + 4{\sin ^2}\theta + 16\sin \theta + 16

\Rightarrow (PQ)2 =

cos2θ+4+16sinθ+16{\cos ^2}\theta + 4 + 16\sin \theta + 16

\Rightarrow

(PQ)2=cos2θ+16sinθ+20{(PQ)^2} = {\cos ^2}\theta + 16\sin \theta + 20

\Rightarrow

(PQ)2=sin2θ+16sinθ+21{(PQ)^2} = - {\sin ^2}\theta + 16\sin \theta + 21

=

(sin2θ2.8sinθ+64)+64+21- \left( {{{\sin }^2}\theta - 2.8\sin \theta + 64} \right) + 64 + 21

=

85(sinθ8)285 - {(\sin \theta - 8)^2}

will be maximum when sin θ\theta = 1

(PQ)2max=8549=36\Rightarrow {(PQ)^2}_{\max } = 85 - 49 = 36

2y2y+1{{2y'} \over {2\sqrt {y + 1} }}

= 0 At P(1, 0)

yP{y{'_P}}

+ 4 +

yP{y{'_P}}

= 0 \Rightarrow

yP{y{'_P}}

= -2 Tangent at P(1, 0) is y – 0 = – 2 (x – 1) 2x + y = 2 Only (–2, 6) lies on it.

Q80
If x = 1 is a critical point of the function f(x) = (3x2 + ax – 2 – a)ex , then :
A x = 1 is a local maxima and x = 23 - {2 \over 3} is a local minima of f.
B x = 1 and x = 23 - {2 \over 3} are local maxima of f.
C x = 1 and x = 23 - {2 \over 3} are local minima of f.
D x = 1 is a local minima and x = 23 - {2 \over 3} is a local maxima of f.
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

f(x) = (3x2 + ax – 2 – a)ex \therefore f'(x) = ex(6x + a) + (3x2 + ax – 2 – a)ex = ex(3x2 + x(6 + a) – 2) f '(x) = 0 at x = 1 \Rightarrow 3 + (6 + a) – 2 = 0 \Rightarrow a = -7 \therefore f'(x) = ex(3x2 – x – 2) = ex(x – 1) (3x + 2) x = 1 is a local minima and x =

23- {2 \over 3}

is a local maxima of f.
