Q31
Consider the function, f(x)=x2+x5,xRf\left( x \right) = \left| {x - 2} \right| + \left| {x - 5} \right|,x \in R Statement - 1 : f(4)=0f'\left( 4 \right) = 0 Statement - 2 : ff is continuous in [2, 5], differentiable in (2, 5) and ff(2) = ff(5)
A Statement - 1 is false, statement - 2 is true
B Statement - 1 is true, statement - 2 is true; statement - 2 is a correct explanation for statement - 1
C Statement - 1 is true, statement - 2 is true; statement - 2 is not a correct explanation for statement - 1
D Statement - 1 is true, statement - 2 is false
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution
f(x)=x2={x2,x202x,x20f\left( x \right) = \left| {x - 2} \right| = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll}{x - 2\,\,\,,} & {x - 2 \ge 0} \\ {2 - x\,\,\,,} & {x - 2 \le 0} \end{array} \right.
={x2,x22x,x2\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll}{x - 2\,\,\,,} & {x \ge 2} \\ {2 - x\,\,\,,} & {x \le 2} \end{array} \right.

Similarly,

f(x)=x5={x5,x55x,x5f\left( x \right) = \left| {x - 5} \right| = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll}{x - 5\,\,\,,} & {x \ge 5} \\ {5 - x\,\,\,,} & {x \le 5} \end{array} \right.

\therefore

f(x)=x2+x5f\left( x \right) = \left| {x - 2} \right| + \left| {x - 5} \right|
={x2+5x=3,2x5}= \left\{ {x - 2 + 5 - x = 3,2 \le x \le 5} \right\}

Thus

f(x)=3,2x5\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,f\left( x \right) = 3,2 \le x \le 5
f(x)=0,2<x<5\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,f'\left( x \right) = 0,2 < x < 5
f(4)=0\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,f'\left( 4 \right) = 0

\therefore Statement

11

is true. As

f(2)=0+25=3f\left( 2 \right) = 0 + \left| {2 - 5} \right| = 3

and

f(5)=52+0=3f\left( 5 \right) = \left| {5 - 2} \right| + 0 = 3

\therefore Statement -

22

is also true but not a correct explanation for statement

Q33
If the function. g(x)={kx+1,0x3mx+2,3<x5g\left( x \right) = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll}{k\sqrt {x + 1} ,} & {0 \le x \le 3} \\ {m\,x + 2,} & {3 < x \le 5} \end{array} \right. is differentiable, then the value of k+mk+m is :
A 103{{10} \over 3}
B 44
C 22
D 165{{16} \over 5}
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

Since

g(x)g(x)

is differentiable, - it will be continuous at

x=3x=3

\therefore

limx3g(x)=limx3+g(x)\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {3^ - }} g\left( x \right) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {3^ + }} g\left( x \right)
2k=3m+2...(1)2k = 3m + 2\,\,\,\,\,...\left( 1 \right)

Also

g(x)g(x)

is differentiable at

x=0x=0

\therefore

limx3g(x)=limx3+g(x)\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {3^ - }} g'\left( x \right) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {3^ + }} g'\left( x \right)
K23+1=m{K \over {2\sqrt {3 + 1} }} = m
k=4mk=4m
...(2)\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,...\left( 2 \right)

Solving

(1)(1)

and

(2)(2)

, we get

m=25,k=85m = {2 \over 5},\,\,k = {8 \over 5}

\therefore

k+m=2k+m=2
Q34
For xR,f(x)=log2sinxx \in \,R,\,\,f\left( x \right) = \left| {\log 2 - \sin x} \right|\,\, and g(x)=f(f(x)),\,\,g\left( x \right) = f\left( {f\left( x \right)} \right),\,\, then :
A gg is not differentiable at x=0x=0
B g(0)=cos(log2)g'\left( 0 \right) = \cos \left( {\log 2} \right)
C g(0)=cos(log2)g'\left( 0 \right) = - \cos \left( {\log 2} \right)
D gg is differentiable at x=0x=0 and g(0)=sin(log2)g'\left( 0 \right) = - \sin \left( {\log 2} \right)
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution
g(x)=f(f(x))g\left( x \right) = f\left( {f\left( x \right)} \right)

In the neighbourhood of

x=0,x=0,
f(x)=log2sinx=(log2sinx)f\left( x \right) = \left| {\log 2 - \sin \,x} \right| = \left( {\log 2 - \sin x} \right)

\therefore

g(x)=log2sinlog2sinxg\left( x \right) = \left| {\log 2 - \sin \left. {\left| {\log 2 - \sin x} \right|} \right|} \right.
=(log2sin(log2sinx))= \left( {\log 2 - \sin \left( {\log 2 - \sin x} \right)} \right)

\therefore

g(x)g(x)

is differentiable and

g(x)=cos(log2sinx)(cosx)g'\left( x \right) = - \cos \left( {\log 2 - \sin x} \right)\left( { - \cos x} \right)
g(0)=cos(log2)\Rightarrow g'\left( 0 \right) = \cos \left( {\log 2} \right)

D = R H D Therefore, function is differentiable at x = π\pi, Since, the function f(x) is differentiable at all the points including 0 and π\pi.

So, f(x) is differentiable everywhere.
