Question 1: If \( A \) is a square matrix of order 3 and \( |A| = 5 \), then the value of \( |2A| \) is:
- -10
- 10
- -40
- 40
SHOW ANSWER
Answer: (D) 40
Solution:
We know the property of determinants:
\[
|kA| = k^n |A|,
\]
where \( n \) is the order of the square matrix. Here, \( k = 2 \), \( n = 3 \), and \( |A| = 5 \). Therefore:
\[
|2A| = 2^3 \cdot |A| = 8 \cdot 5 = 40.
\]
Thus, \( |2A| = 40 \).
Question 2: If \( A \) is a square matrix such that \( A^2 = A \), then \( (I – A)^3 + A \) is equal to:
- \( I \)
- \( 0 \)
- \( I – A \)
- \( I + A \)
SHOW ANSWER
Answer: (A) \( I \)
Solution:
Given \( A^2 = A \), \( A \) is an idempotent matrix. To find \( (I – A)^3 + A \), expand \( (I – A)^3 \) using the binomial theorem:
\[
(I – A)^3 = I^3 – 3I^2A + 3IA^2 – A^3.
\]
Since \( I^2 = I \), \( I^3 = I \), and \( A^2 = A \), substitute these into the expression:
\[
(I – A)^3 = I – 3A + 3A – A = I – A.
\]
Now, add \( A \):
\[
(I – A)^3 + A = (I – A) + A = I.
\]
Thus, the result is \( I \).
Question 3: The principal value of \( \tan^{-1} (\tan \frac{3\pi}{5}) \) is:
- \( \frac{2\pi}{5} \)
- \( -\frac{2\pi}{5} \)
- \( \frac{3\pi}{5} \)
- \( -\frac{3\pi}{5} \)
SHOW ANSWER
Answer: (B) \( -\frac{2\pi}{5} \)
Solution:
The principal value of \( \tan^{-1}(x) \) lies in \( \left(-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right) \). Given \( \tan \frac{3\pi}{5} \), note that \( \frac{3\pi}{5} \) lies in the second quadrant where the tangent function is negative. We find the equivalent angle in the principal value range:
\[
\frac{3\pi}{5} – \pi = -\frac{2\pi}{5}.
\]
Thus, the principal value of \( \tan^{-1} (\tan \frac{3\pi}{5}) \) is \( -\frac{2\pi}{5} \).
Question 4: If the projection of \( \vec{a} = \hat{i} – 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k} \) on \( \vec{b} = 2\hat{i} + \lambda\hat{k} \) is zero, then the value of \( \lambda \) is:
- 0
- 1
- -2/3
- -3/2
SHOW ANSWER
Answer: (C) -2/3
Solution:
The projection of \( \vec{a} \) on \( \vec{b} \) is given by:
\[
\text{Projection} = \frac{\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}}{|\vec{b}|}.
\]
For the projection to be zero, \( \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = 0 \). Compute \( \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} \):
\[
\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = (1)(2) + (-2)(0) + (3)(\lambda) = 2 + 3\lambda.
\]
Setting \( \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = 0 \):
\[
2 + 3\lambda = 0 \implies \lambda = -\frac{2}{3}.
\]
Thus, the value of \( \lambda \) is \( -\frac{2}{3} \).
Question 5: The vector equation of the line passing through the point \((-1, 5, 4)\) and perpendicular to the plane \( z = 0 \) is:
- \( \vec{r} = -\hat{i} + 5\hat{j} + 4\hat{k} + \lambda(\hat{i} + \hat{j}) \)
- \( \vec{r} = -\hat{i} + 5\hat{j} + (4 + \lambda)\hat{k} \)
- \( \vec{r} = \hat{i} – 5\hat{j} + \lambda\hat{k} \)
- \( \vec{r} = \lambda\hat{k} \)
SHOW ANSWER
Answer: (B) \( \vec{r} = -\hat{i} + 5\hat{j} + (4 + \lambda)\hat{k} \)
Solution:
The equation of a line passing through \((-1, 5, 4)\) and perpendicular to the plane \( z = 0 \) can be written as:
\[
\vec{r} = \vec{a} + \lambda\vec{d},
\]
where \( \vec{a} = -\hat{i} + 5\hat{j} + 4\hat{k} \) is a point on the line, and \( \vec{d} = \hat{k} \) is the direction vector (perpendicular to \( z = 0 \)). Therefore, the equation becomes:
\[
\vec{r} = -\hat{i} + 5\hat{j} + 4\hat{k} + \lambda\hat{k}.
\]
Simplify:
\[
\vec{r} = -\hat{i} + 5\hat{j} + (4 + \lambda)\hat{k}.
\]
Thus, the correct option is (B).
Question 6: The number of arbitrary constants in the particular solution of a differential equation of second order is (are):
- 0
- 1
- 2
- 3
SHOW ANSWER
Answer: (A) 0
Solution:
The particular solution of a differential equation does not contain any arbitrary constants. Arbitrary constants are present only in the general solution. Since we are given a particular solution, the number of arbitrary constants is \( 0 \).
Question 7: Evaluate \( \int_{-\pi/4}^{\pi/4} \sec^2x \, dx \):
- -1
- 0
- 1
- 2
SHOW ANSWER
Answer: (D) 2
Solution:
We know that:
\[
\int \sec^2x \, dx = \tan x + C.
\]
Evaluate \( \int_{-\pi/4}^{\pi/4} \sec^2x \, dx \):
\[
\int_{-\pi/4}^{\pi/4} \sec^2x \, dx = \tan\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) – \tan\left(-\frac{\pi}{4}\right).
\]
Since \( \tan(\pi/4) = 1 \) and \( \tan(-\pi/4) = -1 \), we have:
\[
\tan\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) – \tan\left(-\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = 1 – (-1) = 2.
\]
Thus, the value of the integral is \( 2 \).
Question 8: The length of the perpendicular drawn from the point \( (4, -7, 3) \) on the \( y \)-axis is:
SHOW ANSWER
Answer: (C) 5 units
Solution:
The distance of a point \((x, y, z)\) from the \( y \)-axis is given by:
\[
\text{Distance} = \sqrt{x^2 + z^2}
\]
For the point \((4, -7, 3)\), we have:
\[
x = 4, \quad z = 3
\]
Substituting the values:
\[
\text{Distance} = \sqrt{4^2 + 3^2} = \sqrt{16 + 9} = \sqrt{25} = 5

Question 9: If \( A \) and \( B \) are two independent events with \( P(A) = \frac{1}{3} \) and \( P(B) = \frac{1}{4} \), find \( P(B’ \mid A) \).
SHOW ANSWER
Answer: (C) \( \frac{3}{4} \)
Solution:
The formula for conditional probability is:
\[
P(B’ \mid A) = \frac{P(A \cap B’)}{P(A)}
\]
Since \( A \) and \( B \) are independent:
\[
P(A \cap B’) = P(A) \cdot P(B’)
\]
Here, \( P(B’) = 1 – P(B) = 1 – \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4} \). Thus:
\[
P(A \cap B’) = \frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{3}{4} = \frac{1}{4}
\]
Substituting back into the formula:
\[
P(B’ \mid A) = \frac{\frac{1}{4}}{\frac{1}{3}} = \frac{1}{4} \cdot \frac{3}{1} = \frac{3}{4}
\]

Question 10: The corner points of the feasible region determined by the system of linear inequalities are \( (0, 0), (4, 0), (2, 4), (0, 5) \). If the maximum value of \( z = ax + by \), where \( a, b > 0 \), occurs at both \( (2, 4) \) and \( (4, 0) \), find the relationship between \( a \) and \( b \).
SHOW ANSWER
Answer: (A) \( a = 2b \)
Solution:
Let \( z = ax + by \). For the maximum value to occur at \( (2, 4) \) and \( (4, 0) \), \( z \) must have the same value at both points:
At \( (2, 4) \):
\[
z = 2a + 4b
\]
At \( (4, 0) \):
\[
z = 4a + 0b
\]
Equating the two:
\[
2a + 4b = 4a \quad \Rightarrow \quad 4b = 2a \quad \Rightarrow \quad a = 2b

A square matrix \( A \) is said to be skew-symmetric if \( A’ = -A \) and the diagonal elements of \( A \) are all zero.
Question 14: The equation of the normal to the curve \( y^2 = 8x \) at the origin is _______.
SHOW ANSWER
Answer: \( x = 0 \).
Solution:
For the curve \( y^2 = 8x \), differentiate to find the slope of the tangent:
\[
2y \frac{dy}{dx} = 8 \quad => \quad \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{4}{y}.
\]
At the origin \( (0, 0) \), the tangent slope is undefined (as \( y = 0 \)). Hence, the normal is a vertical line \( x = 0 \).
OR: The radius of a circle is increasing at the uniform rate of 3 cm/sec. At the instant when the radius of the circle is 2 cm, its area increases at the rate of _______ cm²/s.

Solution:
Area of a circle is \( A = \pi r^2 \). Differentiate with respect to \( t \):
\[
\frac{dA}{dt} = 2\pi r \frac{dr}{dt}.
\]
Substitute \( r = 2 \, \text{cm}, \frac{dr}{dt} = 3 \, \text{cm/s} \):

The position vector of a point \( P \) which divides the line segment joining \( A \) and \( B \) in the ratio \( 2:1 \) is _______.
SHOW ANSWER
Answer: \( \overrightarrow{OP} = 2\hat{i} – \hat{j} + \frac{1}{3}\hat{k} \).
Solution:
Use the section formula:
\[
\overrightarrow{OP} = \frac{m \overrightarrow{OB} + n \overrightarrow{OA}}{m + n}.
\]
Substitute \( m = 2, n = 1 \):
\[
\overrightarrow{OP} = \frac{2(2\hat{i} – \hat{j} + 2\hat{k}) + 1(2\hat{i} – \hat{j} – \hat{k})}{2 + 1}.
\]
Simplify:
\[
\overrightarrow{OP} = \frac{4\hat{i} – 2\hat{j} + 4\hat{k} + 2\hat{i} – \hat{j} – \hat{k}}{3} = \frac{6\hat{i} – 3\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}}{3} = 2\hat{i} – \hat{j} + \hat{k}.

Question 16: If \( A = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 0 & 0 \\ -1 & 2 & 3 \\ 3 & 3 & 5 \end{bmatrix} \), find \( A (\text{adj} A) \).
SHOW ANSWER
Answer: \( A (\text{adj} A) = |A| I = 28 I \).
Solution:
The property of a square matrix states:
\[
A (\text{adj} A) = |A| I,
\]
where \( I \) is the identity matrix. First, compute \( |A| \):
\[
|A| = \begin{vmatrix} 2 & 0 & 0 \\ -1 & 2 & 3 \\ 3 & 3 & 5 \end{vmatrix} = 2 \begin{vmatrix} 2 & 3 \\ 3 & 5 \end{vmatrix} = 2 (10 – 9) = 2(1) = 28.

Thus:
\[
A (\text{adj} A) = 28 I.

Question 17: Find \( \int x^4 \log x \, dx \) OR \( \int \frac{2x}{\sqrt[3]{x^2 + 1}} \, dx \).
SHOW ANSWER
Answer:
1. For \( \int x^4 \log x \, dx \), the result is:
\[
\frac{x^5}{25} (5 \log x – 1) + C
\]
2. For \( \int \frac{2x}{\sqrt[3]{x^2 + 1}} \, dx \), the result is:
\[
3 \sqrt[3]{(x^2 + 1)^2} + C
\]
Solution:
Part 1: To evaluate \( \int x^4 \log x \, dx \), we use integration by parts:
Let \( u = \log x \) and \( dv = x^4 dx \). Then, \( du = \frac{1}{x} dx \) and \( v = \frac{x^5}{5} \).
Using integration by parts formula:
\[
\int u \, dv = uv – \int v \, du,
\]
\[
\int x^4 \log x \, dx = \frac{x^5}{5} \log x – \int \frac{x^5}{5} \cdot \frac{1}{x} dx.
\]
\[
= \frac{x^5}{5} \log x – \frac{1}{5} \int x^4 dx.
\]
\[
= \frac{x^5}{5} \log x – \frac{1}{5} \cdot \frac{x^5}{5}.
\]
\[
= \frac{x^5}{5} \log x – \frac{x^5}{25}.
\]
\[
= \frac{x^5}{25} (5 \log x – 1) + C.
\]
Part 2: To evaluate \( \int \frac{2x}{\sqrt[3]{x^2 + 1}} \, dx \):
Let \( t = x^2 + 1 \). Then, \( dt = 2x dx \).
\[
\int \frac{2x}{\sqrt[3]{x^2 + 1}} \, dx = \int \frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{t}} \, dt.
\]
\[
= \int t^{-1/3} \, dt = \frac{t^{2/3}}{2/3} + C = 3t^{2/3} + C.

To solve \( \int_1^3 |2x – 1| \, dx \), note that \( |2x – 1| = 2x – 1 \) since \( 2x – 1 \geq 0 \) for \( x \geq 0.5 \).
\[
\int_1^3 |2x – 1| \, dx = \int_1^3 (2x – 1) \, dx.
\]
\[
= \left[ x^2 – x \right]_1^3.
\]
\[
= (3^2 – 3) – (1^2 – 1).

Question 19: Two cards are drawn at random, one-by-one without replacement, from a well-shuffled pack of 52 playing cards. Find the probability that one card is red and the other is black.
SHOW ANSWER
Answer: The probability is \( \frac{26}{51} \).
Solution:
There are 26 red cards and 26 black cards in a deck. Probability for the first card:
\[
P(\text{red}) = \frac{26}{52}.
\]
If the first card is red, the probability of the second card being black is:
\[
P(\text{black}) = \frac{26}{51}.
\]
\[
P(\text{one red, one black}) = P(\text{red first, black second}) + P(\text{black first, red second}).
\]
\[
= \frac{26}{52} \cdot \frac{26}{51} + \frac{26}{52} \cdot \frac{26}{51}.
\]
\[
= 2 \cdot \frac{26}{52} \cdot \frac{26}{51}.
\]
\[
= \frac{2 \cdot 26}{52} \cdot \frac{26}{51} = \frac{26}{51}.

Question 20: Evaluate \( \int \frac{dx}{\sqrt{9 – 4x^2}} \).
SHOW ANSWER
Answer: \( \int \frac{dx}{\sqrt{9 – 4x^2}} = \frac{\arcsin\left(\frac{2x}{3}\right)}{2} + C. \)
Solution:
Let \( x = \frac{3}{2} \sin \theta \). Then \( dx = \frac{3}{2} \cos \theta \, d\theta \) and \( \sqrt{9 – 4x^2} = \sqrt{9 – 4\left(\frac{9}{4} \sin^2 \theta\right)} = \sqrt{9(1 – \sin^2 \theta)} = 3 \cos \theta \).
\[
\int \frac{dx}{\sqrt{9 – 4x^2}} = \int \frac{\frac{3}{2} \cos \theta \, d\theta}{3 \cos \theta}.
\]
\[
= \int \frac{1}{2} d\theta = \frac{\theta}{2} + C.
\]
\[
\theta = \arcsin\left(\frac{2x}{3}\right).
\]
\[
\int \frac{dx}{\sqrt{9 – 4x^2}} = \frac{\arcsin\left(\frac{2x}{3}\right)}{2} + C.

Question 21: Prove that \( \sin^{-1} \left( 2x \sqrt{1 – x^2} \right) = 2 \cos^{-1} x, \; \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \leq x \leq 1 \).
SHOW ANSWER
Answer: \( \sin^{-1} \left( 2x \sqrt{1 – x^2} \right) = 2 \cos^{-1} x \).
Solution:
Let \( \theta = \cos^{-1} x \). Then, \( \cos \theta = x \) and \( \sin \theta = \sqrt{1 – x^2} \).
Now, consider:
\[
\sin^{-1} \left( 2x \sqrt{1 – x^2} \right).
\]
Substitute \( x = \cos \theta \), so:
\[
2x \sqrt{1 – x^2} = 2 \cos \theta \sin \theta = \sin 2\theta.
\]
Thus,
\[
\sin^{-1} \left( 2x \sqrt{1 – x^2} \right) = \sin^{-1} (\sin 2\theta) = 2\theta = 2 \cos^{-1} x.

Question 22: If \( x = at^2, y = 2at \), then find \( \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} \).
SHOW ANSWER
Answer: \( \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = \frac{2}{a} \).
Solution:
Given \( x = at^2 \) and \( y = 2at \):
\[
\frac{dx}{dt} = 2at, \quad \frac{dy}{dt} = 2a.
\]
\[
\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\frac{dy}{dt}}{\frac{dx}{dt}} = \frac{2a}{2at} = \frac{1}{t}.
\]
Differentiate \( \frac{dy}{dx} \) w.r.t. \( x \):
\[
\frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{1}{t} \right) = \frac{d}{dt} \left( \frac{1}{t} \right) \cdot \frac{dt}{dx}.
\]
\[
\frac{d}{dt} \left( \frac{1}{t} \right) = -\frac{1}{t^2}, \quad \frac{dt}{dx} = \frac{1}{\frac{dx}{dt}} = \frac{1}{2at}.
\]
\[
\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = -\frac{1}{t^2} \cdot \frac{1}{2at} = -\frac{1}{2at^3}.
\]
Using \( t = \sqrt{\frac{x}{a}} \),
\[
\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = \frac{2}{a}.
\]
Question 23: Find the points on the curve \( y = x^3 – 3x^2 – 4x \) at which the tangent lines are parallel to \( 4x + y – 3 = 0 \).
SHOW ANSWER
Answer: Points are \( (1, -6) \) and \( (-1, 2) \).
Solution:
The slope of the tangent to the curve is given by:
\[
\frac{dy}{dx} = 3x^2 – 6x – 4.
\]
The slope of the line \( 4x + y – 3 = 0 \) is \( -4 \) (compare to \( y = -4x + 3 \)).
Equating slopes:
\[
3x^2 – 6x – 4 = -4.
\]
\[
3x^2 – 6x = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 3x(x – 2) = 0.
\]
\[
x = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad x = 2.
\]
Substitute into \( y = x^3 – 3x^2 – 4x \) to find points:
For \( x = 0 \): \( y = 0^3 – 3(0)^2 – 4(0) = 0 \). Point is \( (0, 0) \).
For \( x = 2 \): \( y = 2^3 – 3(2)^2 – 4(2) = 8 – 12 – 8 = -12 \). Point is \( (2, -12) \).
Question 24: Find a unit vector perpendicular to each of the vectors \( \vec{a} = 5\hat{i} + 6\hat{j} – 2\hat{k} \) and \( \vec{b} = 7\hat{i} + 6\hat{j} + 2\hat{k} \).
SHOW ANSWER
Answer: Unit vector = \( \frac{\vec{n}}{\|\vec{n}\|} \), where \( \vec{n} = \vec{a} \times \vec{b} \).
Solution:
The cross product \( \vec{a} \times \vec{b} \) is given by:
\[
\vec{n} = \begin{vmatrix}
\hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\
5 & 6 & -2 \\
7 & 6 & 2

Expand the determinant:
\[
\vec{n} = \hat{i} \begin{vmatrix} 6 & -2 \\ 6 & 2 \end{vmatrix}
– \hat{j} \begin{vmatrix} 5 & -2 \\ 7 & 2 \end{vmatrix}
+ \hat{k} \begin{vmatrix} 5 & 6 \\ 7 & 6 \end{vmatrix}.
\]
\[
\vec{n} = \hat{i} (12 – (-12)) – \hat{j} (10 – (-14)) + \hat{k} (30 – 42).
\]
\[
\vec{n} = \hat{i} (24) – \hat{j} (24) – \hat{k} (12).
\]
\[
\vec{n} = 24\hat{i} – 24\hat{j} – 12\hat{k}.
\]
Normalize \( \vec{n} \) to find the unit vector:
\[
\|\vec{n}\| = \sqrt{24^2 + (-24)^2 + (-12)^2} = \sqrt{576 + 576 + 144} = \sqrt{1296} = 36.
\]
\[
\text{Unit vector} = \frac{\vec{n}}{\|\vec{n}\|} = \frac{24\hat{i} – 24\hat{j} – 12\hat{k}}{36} = \frac{2}{3}\hat{i} – \frac{2}{3}\hat{j} – \frac{1}{3}\hat{k}.

Question 25: Find the value of \( k \) so that the lines \( x = -y = kz \) and \( x – 2 = 2y + 1 = -z + 1 \) are perpendicular to each other.
SHOW ANSWER
Answer: \( k = -1 \).
Solution:
Direction ratios of the first line are \( 1, -1, k \). Direction ratios of the second line are \( 1, \frac{1}{2}, -1 \).
The lines are perpendicular if their dot product is zero:
\[
1 \cdot 1 + (-1) \cdot \frac{1}{2} + k \cdot (-1) = 0.
\]
\[
1 – \frac{1}{2} – k = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad \frac{1}{2} – k = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad k = -1.
\]
Question 26: The probability of finding a green signal on a busy crossing X is 30%. What is the probability of finding a green signal on X on two consecutive days out of three?
SHOW ANSWER
Answer: Probability = \( 0.189 \).
Solution:
The probability of finding a green signal on any day is \( P(G) = 0.3 \). The probability of not finding a green signal is \( P(\text{not G}) = 1 – 0.3 = 0.7 \).
We need exactly two green signals in three days. This follows a binomial distribution:
\[
P(X = 2) = \binom{3}{2} (P(G))^2 (P(\text{not G}))^1.
\]
\[
P(X = 2) = 3 (0.3)^2 (0.7) = 3 (0.09) (0.7) = 3 \cdot 0.063 = 0.189.

Question 27: Let \( N \) be the set of natural numbers, and \( R \) be the relation on \( N \times N \) defined by \( (a, b) R (c, d) \iff ad = bc \) for all \( a, b, c, d \in N \). Show that \( R \) is an equivalence relation.
SHOW ANSWER
Answer: \( R \) is an equivalence relation.
Solution:
To prove that \( R \) is an equivalence relation, we verify reflexivity, symmetry, and transitivity:
1. **Reflexivity**: For any \( (a, b) \in N \times N \),
\[
(a, b) R (a, b) \iff ab = ab \quad \text{(True)}.
\]
Thus, \( R \) is reflexive.
2. **Symmetry**: If \( (a, b) R (c, d) \), then \( ad = bc \). Multiplying both sides by 1 gives \( bc = ad \), so \( (c, d) R (a, b) \). Hence, \( R \) is symmetric.
3. **Transitivity**: If \( (a, b) R (c, d) \) and \( (c, d) R (e, f) \), then \( ad = bc \) and \( cf = de \). Multiplying the two equations gives:
\[
(ad)(cf) = (bc)(de) \quad \Rightarrow \quad af = bf.
\]
Thus, \( (a, b) R (e, f) \), proving transitivity.
Since \( R \) satisfies all three properties, it is an equivalence relation.
Question 28: If \( y = e^{x^2 \cos x} + (\cos x)^x \), find \( \frac{dy}{dx} \).
SHOW ANSWER
Answer: \( \frac{dy}{dx} = e^{x^2 \cos x}(2x \cos x – x^2 \sin x) – (\cos x)^x (\ln(\cos x) + x \tan x) \).
Solution:
Given \( y = e^{x^2 \cos x} + (\cos x)^x \), differentiate term by term:
1. For \( e^{x^2 \cos x} \):
\[
\frac{d}{dx} \left( e^{x^2 \cos x} \right) = e^{x^2 \cos x} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(x^2 \cos x),
\]
\[
\frac{d}{dx}(x^2 \cos x) = 2x \cos x – x^2 \sin x.
\]
Thus,
\[
\frac{d}{dx} \left( e^{x^2 \cos x} \right) = e^{x^2 \cos x} (2x \cos x – x^2 \sin x).
\]
2. For \( (\cos x)^x \):
\[
\frac{d}{dx} \left( (\cos x)^x \right) = (\cos x)^x \cdot \left( \ln(\cos x) + x \cdot \frac{-\sin x}{\cos x} \right),
\]
\[
\frac{d}{dx} \left( (\cos x)^x \right) = (\cos x)^x \cdot (\ln(\cos x) – x \tan x).
\]
Combine the results:
\[
\frac{dy}{dx} = e^{x^2 \cos x} (2x \cos x – x^2 \sin x) – (\cos x)^x (\ln(\cos x) + x \tan x).
\]
Question 29: Find \( \int \sec^3 x \, dx \).
SHOW ANSWER
Answer: \( \int \sec^3 x \, dx = \frac{1}{2} \sec x \tan x + \frac{1}{2} \ln |\sec x + \tan x| + C \).
Solution:
We use the standard formula for \( \int \sec^3 x \, dx \):
\[
\int \sec^3 x \, dx = \frac{1}{2} \sec x \tan x + \frac{1}{2} \ln |\sec x + \tan x| + C.
\]
No additional derivation is needed here as this is a well-known result.
Question 30: Find the general solution of the differential equation \( y e^y \, dx = (y^3 + 2x e^y) \, dy \).
SHOW ANSWER
Answer: \( x = \frac{y^3}{3} – e^{-y} + C \).
Solution:
Rearranging the given equation:
\[
y e^y \, dx = (y^3 + 2x e^y) \, dy \quad \Rightarrow \quad y e^y \, dx – 2x e^y \, dy = y^3 \, dy.
\]
Divide through by \( e^y \):
\[
y \, dx – 2x \, dy = \frac{y^3}{e^y} \, dy.
\]
Separate variables:
\[
\frac{dx}{x} = \frac{2 \, dy}{y} + \frac{y^2}{e^y} \, dy.
\]
Integrate:
1. Integrating \( \int \frac{dx}{x} \), we get:
\[
\ln |x| = \int \frac{2 \, dy}{y} + \int \frac{y^2}{e^y} \, dy.
\]
Solve \( \int \frac{2 \, dy}{y} \):
\[
\int \frac{2 \, dy}{y} = 2 \ln |y|.
\]
Solve \( \int \frac{y^2}{e^y} \, dy \) (use substitution \( u = y^3 \)):
\[
\int \frac{y^2}{e^y} \, dy = -e^{-y} + C_1.
\]
Combine the results:
\[
\ln |x| = 2 \ln |y| – e^{-y} + C.
\]
Simplify:
\[
x = \frac{y^3}{3} – e^{-y} + C.
\]
OR Find the particular solution of the differential equation \( x \frac{dy}{dx} = y – x \tan \left( \frac{y}{x} \right) \), given that \( y = \frac{\pi}{4} \) at \( x = 1 \).
SHOW ANSWER
Answer: The particular solution is \( y = x \tan^{-1}(x) \).
Solution:
Rewriting the given equation:
\[
x \frac{dy}{dx} = y – x \tan \left( \frac{y}{x} \right).
\]
Divide through by \( x \):
\[
\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{y}{x} – \tan \left( \frac{y}{x} \right).
\]
Let \( z = \frac{y}{x} \), so \( y = xz \). Differentiate:
\[
\frac{dy}{dx} = z + x \frac{dz}{dx}.
\]
Substitute:
\[
z + x \frac{dz}{dx} = z – \tan(z).
\]
Simplify:
\[
x \frac{dz}{dx} = -\tan(z).
\]
Separate variables:
\[
\int \frac{dz}{\tan(z)} = -\int \frac{dx}{x}.
\]
Solve:
\[
\ln |\sin(z)| = -\ln |x| + C_1.
\]
Substitute \( z = \tan^{-1} x \):
\[
y = x \tan^{-1} x.
\]
At \( x = 1 \), \( y = \frac{\pi}{4} \), so this satisfies the equation.
Question 31: A furniture trader deals in only two items—chairs and tables. He has ₹50,000 to invest and space to store at most 35 items. A chair costs him ₹1,000, and a table costs him ₹2,000. The trader earns a profit of ₹150 and ₹250 on a chair and table, respectively. Formulate the above problem as an LPP to maximize the profit and solve it graphically.
SHOW ANSWER
Answer: Maximize \( Z = 150x + 250y \), subject to constraints \( x + y \leq 35 \), \( 1000x + 2000y \leq 50000 \), and \( x, y \geq 0 \).
Solution:
Let \( x \) be the number of chairs and \( y \) be the number of tables.
1. Objective function (profit):
\[
Z = 150x + 250y.
\]
2. Constraints:
– Investment constraint:
\[
1000x + 2000y \leq 50000 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x + 2y \leq 50.
\]
– Space constraint:
\[
x + y \leq 35.
\]
– Non-negativity:
\[
x \geq 0, \, y \geq 0.
\]
Graph the constraints and find the feasible region:
– \( x + 2y = 50 \) intersects axes at \( (50, 0) \) and \( (0, 25) \).
– \( x + y = 35 \) intersects axes at \( (35, 0) \) and \( (0, 35) \).
Find corner points of the feasible region and calculate \( Z \) at each:
– At \( (0, 25) \): \( Z = 150(0) + 250(25) = 6250 \).
– At \( (10, 20) \): \( Z = 150(10) + 250(20) = 6500 \).
– At \( (35, 0) \): \( Z = 150(35) + 250(0) = 5250 \).
The maximum profit is \( Z = 6500 \) at \( (10, 20) \), i.e., 10 chairs and 20 tables.
Question 32: There are two bags, I and II. Bag I contains 3 red and 5 black balls, and Bag II contains 4 red and 3 black balls. One ball is transferred randomly from Bag I to Bag II, and then a ball is drawn randomly from Bag II. If the ball so drawn is found to be black in color, find the probability that the transferred ball is also black.
SHOW ANSWER
Answer: The probability that the transferred ball is black is \( \frac{7}{10} \).
Solution:
Let \( E_1 \): A black ball is transferred from Bag I to Bag II.
\( E_2 \): A red ball is transferred from Bag I to Bag II.
\( A \): A black ball is drawn from Bag II.
Using Bayes’ theorem:
\[
P(E_1 | A) = \frac{P(E_1) \cdot P(A | E_1)}{P(E_1) \cdot P(A | E_1) + P(E_2) \cdot P(A | E_2)}.
\]
**Step 1: Compute probabilities**
– \( P(E_1) = P(E_2) = \frac{1}{2} \) (equal chances of transferring red or black ball).
**Step 2: Calculate \( P(A | E_1) \):**
If a black ball is transferred to Bag II, Bag II will have \( 4 \) red and \( 4 \) black balls. Probability of drawing a black ball:
\[
P(A | E_1) = \frac{4}{8} = \frac{1}{2}.
\]
**Step 3: Calculate \( P(A | E_2) \):**
If a red ball is transferred to Bag II, Bag II will have \( 5 \) red and \( 3 \) black balls. Probability of drawing a black ball:
\[
P(A | E_2) = \frac{3}{8}.
\]
**Step 4: Substitute into Bayes’ formula:**
\[
P(E_1 | A) = \frac{\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{2}}{\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{3}{8}}.
\]
Simplify:
\[
P(E_1 | A) = \frac{\frac{1}{4}}{\frac{1}{4} + \frac{3}{16}} = \frac{\frac{1}{4}}{\frac{7}{16}} = \frac{4}{7}.
\]
Thus, the probability that the transferred ball is black is \( \frac{4}{7} \).
OR An urn contains 5 red, 2 white, and 3 black balls. Three balls are drawn, one-by-one, at random without replacement. Find the probability distribution of the number of white balls. Also, find the mean and variance of the number of white balls drawn.
SHOW ANSWER
Answer:
Mean: \( 0.6 \). Variance: \( 0.56 \).
Solution:
Let \( X \) be the random variable denoting the number of white balls drawn. \( X \) can take values \( 0, 1, 2 \) with probabilities calculated using hypergeometric distribution:
\[
P(X = x) = \frac{\binom{2}{x} \binom{8}{3-x}}{\binom{10}{3}}.
\]
**Step 1: Calculate probabilities**
– \( P(X = 0) \): No white balls drawn.
\[
P(X = 0) = \frac{\binom{2}{0} \binom{8}{3}}{\binom{10}{3}} = \frac{1 \cdot 56}{120} = \frac{7}{15}.
\]
– \( P(X = 1) \): One white ball drawn.
\[
P(X = 1) = \frac{\binom{2}{1} \binom{8}{2}}{\binom{10}{3}} = \frac{2 \cdot 28}{120} = \frac{14}{15}.
\]
– \( P(X = 2) \): Two white balls drawn.
\[
P(X = 2) = \frac{\binom{2}{2} \binom{8}{1}}{\binom{10}{3}} = \frac{1 \cdot 8}{120} = \frac{2}{15}.
\]
**Step 2: Find mean**
The mean \( \mu = E(X) \) is given by:
\[
E(X) = \sum_{x=0}^{2} x \cdot P(X = x).
\]
\[
E(X) = 0 \cdot \frac{7}{15} + 1 \cdot \frac{14}{15} + 2 \cdot \frac{2}{15} = \frac{14}{15} + \frac{4}{15} = \frac{18}{15} = 1.2.
\]
**Step 3: Find variance**
The variance \( \sigma^2 \) is given by:
\[
\sigma^2 = E(X^2) – (E(X))^2.
\]
First, calculate \( E(X^2) \):
\[
E(X^2) = \sum_{x=0}^{2} x^2 \cdot P(X = x).
\]
\[
E(X^2) = 0^2 \cdot \frac{7}{15} + 1^2 \cdot \frac{14}{15} + 2^2 \cdot \frac{2}{15} = \frac{14}{15} + \frac{8}{15} = \frac{22}{15}.
\]
Now, compute variance:
\[
\sigma^2 = \frac{22}{15} – \left(\frac{18}{15}\right)^2 = \frac{22}{15} – \frac{324}{225} = \frac{110 – 108}{75} = \frac{2}{75}.
\]
Thus, the mean is \( 1.2 \) and the variance is \( \frac{2}{75} \).
Question 33: If \( A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & -3 \\ 3 & 2 & -2 \\ 2 & -1 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \), find \( A^{-1} \) and use it to solve the following system of equations:
\[
x + 2y – 3z = 6, \quad 3x + 2y – 2z = 3, \quad 2x – y + z = 2.
\]
SHOW ANSWER
Answer: The solution is \( x = 1, y = 2, z = -1 \).
Solution:
Step 1: Find the inverse of \( A \).
To find \( A^{-1} \), calculate the adjoint of \( A \) and divide it by the determinant of \( A \). The determinant is:
\[
\text{det}(A) = 1(2 – (-2)) – 2(3 – 4) + (-3)(-3 – (-4)) = 4 + 2 + 3 = 9.
\]
Now, calculate the adjoint of \( A \) by finding the cofactors of each element of \( A \) and transposing the cofactor matrix.
Finally, compute \( A^{-1} = \frac{\text{Adj}(A)}{\text{det}(A)} \).
The inverse is:
\[
A^{-1} = \frac{1}{9} \begin{bmatrix} 8 & -1 & -5 \\ -3 & 1 & 6 \\ 7 & -2 & -5 \end{bmatrix}.
\]
Step 2: Solve the system of equations.
Write the equations in matrix form:
\[
\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & -3 \\ 3 & 2 & -2 \\ 2 & -1 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} x \\ y \\ z \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 6 \\ 3 \\ 2 \end{bmatrix}.
\]
Multiply both sides by \( A^{-1} \):
\[
\begin{bmatrix} x \\ y \\ z \end{bmatrix} = A^{-1} \begin{bmatrix} 6 \\ 3 \\ 2 \end{bmatrix}.
\]
Substitute \( A^{-1} \) and solve:
\[
\begin{bmatrix} x \\ y \\ z \end{bmatrix} = \frac{1}{9} \begin{bmatrix} 8 & -1 & -5 \\ -3 & 1 & 6 \\ 7 & -2 & -5 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 6 \\ 3 \\ 2 \end{bmatrix}.
\]
Perform the matrix multiplication:
\[
\begin{bmatrix} x \\ y \\ z \end{bmatrix} = \frac{1}{9} \begin{bmatrix} 9 \\ 18 \\ -9 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 2 \\ -1 \end{bmatrix}.
\]
Thus, the solution is \( x = 1, y = 2, z = -1 \).
Question 34: Using integration, find the area of the region bounded by the triangle whose vertices are (2, -2), (4, 5), and (6, 2).
SHOW ANSWER
Answer: The area is \( 18 \, \text{units}^2 \).
Solution:
Use the formula for the area of a triangle given vertices \( (x_1, y_1), (x_2, y_2), (x_3, y_3) \):
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \left| x_1(y_2 – y_3) + x_2(y_3 – y_1) + x_3(y_1 – y_2) \right|.
\]
Substitute \( (x_1, y_1) = (2, -2), (x_2, y_2) = (4, 5), (x_3, y_3) = (6, 2) \):
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \left| 2(5 – 2) + 4(2 – (-2)) + 6((-2) – 5) \right|.
\]
Simplify:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \left| 2(3) + 4(4) + 6(-7) \right| = \frac{1}{2} \left| 6 + 16 – 42 \right| = \frac{1}{2} \left| -20 \right| = 10.
\]
Thus, the area is \( 10 \, \text{units}^2 \).
