A circle $S$ passes through the point $(0,1)$ and is orthogonal to the circles
$(x-1)^2 + y^2 = 16$ and $x^2 + y^2 = 1$.
Then
1
2
3
4
Solution
Let the centre of circle $S$ be $(h,k)$ and radius $r$.
Orthogonality condition with circle $x^2+y^2=1$:
$h^2 + k^2 = r^2 + 1$
Orthogonality with $(x-1)^2+y^2=16$:
$(h-1)^2 + k^2 = r^2 + 16$
Subtracting:
$(h-1)^2 - h^2 = 15$
$h^2 - 2h +1 - h^2 = 15$
$-2h = 14 \Rightarrow h = -7$
Since circle passes through $(0,1)$:
$r^2 = (0+7)^2 + (1-k)^2$
Using $h^2+k^2=r^2+1$:
$49 + k^2 = r^2 + 1$
Solving gives $k=1$.
Centre of $S = (-7,1)$
Given below are two statements:
Statement I:
$\displaystyle \int_{-a}^{a} f(x),dx = \int_{0}^{a} [f(x)+f(-x)],dx$
Statement II:
$\displaystyle \int_{0}^{1} \sqrt{(1+x)(1+x^3)},dx \le \dfrac{15}{8}$
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
1
2
3
4
Solution
Statement I:
This is a standard property of definite integrals.
So Statement I is true.
Statement II:
Using AM ≥ GM:
$(1+x)(1+x^3) \le \left(\dfrac{(1+x)+(1+x^3)}{2}\right)^2$
So,
$\sqrt{(1+x)(1+x^3)} \le \dfrac{2 + x + x^3}{2}$
Integrating from $0$ to $1$:
$\displaystyle \int_0^1 \sqrt{(1+x)(1+x^3)},dx \le \dfrac{15}{8}$
Statement II is true.
The point(s) at which the function $f$ given by
$f(x)=\begin{cases}
\dfrac{x}{|x|}, & x<0 \\
-1, & x\ge 0
\end{cases}$
is continuous is/are.
1
2
3
4
Solution
For $x<0$, $|x|=-x$ so $f(x)=\dfrac{x}{-x}=-1$ (constant) ⇒ continuous.
For $x>0$, $f(x)=-1$ ⇒ continuous.
At $x=0$:
$\displaystyle \lim_{x\to0^-} f(x)=-1,\quad \lim_{x\to0^+} f(x)=-1,\quad f(0)=-1$
Hence $f$ is continuous at $x=0$.
Therefore, $f$ is continuous for all real $x$.
If every pair from among the equations
$x^2 + px + qr = 0$,
$x^2 + qx + rp = 0$ and
$x^2 + rx + pq = 0$
has a common root, then the product of the three common roots is ______.
1
2
3
4
Solution
Let the common roots be $\alpha,\beta,\gamma$ respectively.
From the first equation, common root $\alpha$ satisfies
$\alpha^2 + p\alpha + qr = 0$
Similarly,
$\alpha^2 + q\alpha + rp = 0$
Subtracting,
$(p-q)\alpha + (qr-rp)=0$
$\Rightarrow (p-q)(\alpha - r)=0$
So $\alpha = r$.
Similarly, $\beta = p$ and $\gamma = q$.
Hence product of the three common roots
$= pqr$
The top of a hill observed from the top and bottom of a building of height $h$ is at angles of elevation $p$ and $q$ respectively.
The height of the hill is:
1
2
3
4
Solution
Let height of hill be $H$ and horizontal distance be $x$.
From bottom of building:
$\tan q = \dfrac{H}{x}$
From top of building:
$\tan p = \dfrac{H-h}{x}$
Subtracting:
$x(\tan q - \tan p)=h$
So,
$H = \dfrac{h\tan q}{\tan q-\tan p}
= \dfrac{h\cot p}{\cot p-\cot q}$
Each of the angle between vectors $\vec a$, $\vec b$ and $\vec c$ is equal to $60^\circ$.
If $|\vec a|=4$, $|\vec b|=2$ and $|\vec c|=6$, then the modulus of
$\vec a+\vec b+\vec c$ is
1
2
3
4
Solution
$|\vec a+\vec b+\vec c|^2
= a^2+b^2+c^2
+2(\vec a\cdot\vec b+\vec b\cdot\vec c+\vec c\cdot\vec a)$
Since angle $=60^\circ$,
$\vec a\cdot\vec b=|a||b|\cos60^\circ=\dfrac{ab}{2}$
So,
$=16+4+36+2\left(\dfrac{4\cdot2+2\cdot6+6\cdot4}{2}\right)$
$=56+44=100$
$\Rightarrow |\vec a+\vec b+\vec c|=10$
For $0<\theta<\dfrac{\pi}{2}$, the solution(s) of
$\displaystyle \sum_{m=1}^{6} \csc\left(\theta+\dfrac{(m-1)\pi}{4}\right),
\cos\left(\theta+\dfrac{m\pi}{4}\right)=4\sqrt{2}$
is/are
(A) $\dfrac{\pi}{4}$
(B) $\dfrac{\pi}{6}$
(C) $\dfrac{\pi}{12}$
(D) $\dfrac{5\pi}{12}$Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
1
2
3
4
Solution
Given
$\displaystyle \sum_{m=1}^{6} \csc!\left(\theta+\dfrac{(m-1)\pi}{4}\right),
\csc!\left(\theta+\dfrac{m\pi}{4}\right)=4\sqrt{2}$
Use the identity
$\csc x \csc y=\dfrac{\cot x-\cot y}{\sin(y-x)}$
Here,
$y-x=\dfrac{\pi}{4}$ and $\sin\dfrac{\pi}{4}=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
So each term becomes
$\sqrt{2},[\cot(\theta+\dfrac{(m-1)\pi}{4})-\cot(\theta+\dfrac{m\pi}{4})]$
Hence the sum is telescopic:
$\sqrt{2},[\cot\theta-\cot(\theta+\dfrac{6\pi}{4})]=4\sqrt{2}$
$\Rightarrow \cot\theta-\cot(\theta+\dfrac{3\pi}{2})=4$
Using
$\cot(\theta+\dfrac{3\pi}{2})=\tan\theta$
$\Rightarrow \cot\theta-\tan\theta=4$
$\Rightarrow \dfrac{\cos2\theta}{\sin\theta\cos\theta}=4$
$\Rightarrow \cot2\theta=2$
$\Rightarrow 2\theta=\tan^{-1}!\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)$
$\Rightarrow \theta=\dfrac{\pi}{12},\ \dfrac{5\pi}{12}$
