Question Answer Detailed Solution
Question 1: The corner points of the feasible region determined by x + y ≤ 8, 2x + y ≥ 8, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0 are A(0, 8), B(4, 0), and C(8, 0). If the objective function Z = ax + by has its maximum value on the line segment AB, then the relation between a and b is:
(1) 8a + 4 = b
(2) a = 2b
(3) b = 2a
(4) 8b + 4 = a
(2) a = 2b The line segment AB has the points A(0,8) and B(4,0). The objective function Z = ax + by will have a maximum value on AB if
a / b = -change in y / change in x
Slope of AB = (0 - 8) / (4 - 0) = -2
Thus, the ratio a / b = 2 implies a = 2b.
Question 2: If t = e^(2x) and y = ln(t²), then d²y/dx² is:
(1) 0
(2) 4t
(3) 2t
(4) 2t e^(2t(4t - 1))
(1) 0 First, simplify y = ln(t²) as follows:
Since t = e^(2x), we have: y = 2 * ln(t) = 4x.
First derivative: dy/dx = 4
Second derivative: d²y/dx² = 0
Thus, d²y/dx² is 0.
Question 3: An objective function Z = ax + by is maximum at points (8,2) and (4,6). If a ≥ 0, b ≥ 0, and ab = 25, then the maximum value of the function is:
(1) 60
(2) 50
(3) 40
(4) 80
(2) 50 The given function Z = ax + by attains its maximum value at points (8, 2) and (4, 6). At these points:
Z1 = 8a + 2b, Z2 = 4a + 6b.
Set the two equal: 8a + 2b = 4a + 6b.
Simplify: 4a = 4b, so a = b.
Using ab = 25, a² = 25, so a = 5 and b = 5.
Substitute into Z = ax + by. At point (8, 2): Z = 8(5) + 2(5) = 50.
Question 4: The area of the region bounded by the lines x + 2y = 12, x = 2, x = 6, and the x-axis is:
(1) 34 sq units
(2) 20 sq units
(3) 24 sq units
(4) 16 sq units
(4) 16 sq units To find the area of the region, express y in terms of x from the equation x + 2y = 12: y = (12 - x) / 2.
The area between x = 2 and x = 6 under the line y = (12 - x) / 2 is given by the integral:
Area = ∫ from 2 to 6 of (12 - x) / 2 dx.
Solving the integral gives the area = 16 sq units.
Question 5: A die is rolled thrice. What is the probability of getting a number greater than 4 in the first and second throw of the dice, and a number less than 4 in the third throw?
(1) 1/3
(2) 1/6
(3) 1/9
(4) 1/18
(4) 1/18 Probability of rolling greater than 4: P(greater than 4) = 2/6 = 1/3.
Probability of rolling less than 4: P(less than 4) = 3/6 = 1/2.
The combined probability for the three throws is: P(required outcome) = (1/3) * (1/3) * (1/2) = 1/18.
Question 6: Evaluate the integral ∫(π * xn+1 - x) dx:
(1) πn * loge(xn - 1)
(2) loge(xn + 1) / xn - 1 + C
(3) πn * loge(xn + 1) / xn + C
(4) π * loge(xn) / xn - 1 + C
(1) πn * loge(xn - 1) Begin with the integral:
∫(π * xn+1 - x) dx = π * ∫(xn+1 - x) dx.
Factor the denominator and use substitution:
The result simplifies to πn * loge(xn - 1) + C.
Question 7: Evaluate the integral ∫ from 0 to 1 of (a - bx²) / (a + bx²)² dx:
(1) (a - b) / (a + b)
(2) 1 / (a - b)
(3) (a + b) / 2
(4) 1 / (a + b)
(4) 1 / (a + b) Let u = a + bx², so du = 2bx dx.
Change limits: when x = 0, u = a; when x = 1, u = a + b.
The integral becomes:
∫(1 / (a + b)) du.
The result of solving this integral is 1 / (a + b).
Question 8: The second-order derivative of which of the following functions is 5x?
(1) 5x * ln(5)
(2) 5x * (ln(5))²
(3) 5x
(4) 5x * (ln(5))²
(4) 5x * (ln(5))² We need to determine which function’s second derivative equals 5x.
For (1), (2), and (3), the second derivatives do not yield 5x.
For (4), d²/dx² of 5x * (ln(5))² = 5x.
Question 9: The degree of the differential equation 1 - (dy/dx)² = k(d²y/dx²) is:
(1) 1
(2) 2
(3) 3
(4) 3/2
(2) 2 The degree of a differential equation is the highest power of the highest-order derivative.
To remove fractional powers, raise both sides to the power of 3 to eliminate the fractional exponent.
After simplifying, the highest power of the highest-order derivative d²y/dx² is 2.
Question 10: If A and B are symmetric matrices of the same order, then AB - BA is:
(1) Symmetric matrix
(2) Zero matrix
(3) Skew-symmetric matrix
(4) Identity matrix
(3) Skew-symmetric matrix Since A and B are symmetric matrices, we know AT = A and BT = B.
Consider (AB - BA)T = B*A - A*B = -(AB - BA).
This implies that AB - BA is a skew-symmetric matrix.
Question 11: If A is a square matrix of order 4 and |A| = 4, then |2A| will be:
(1) 8
(2) 64
(3) 16
(4) 4
(2) 64 For an n × n matrix, |kA| = k^n * |A|.
Here, |2A| = 2^4 * 4 = 64.
Question 12: If [A]₃×₂ [B]ₓ×ᵧ = [C]₃×₁, then x and y are:
(1) x = 1, y = 3
(2) x = 2, y = 1
(3) x = 3, y = 3
(4) x = 3, y = 1
(2) x = 2, y = 1 Given the matrices [A]₃×₂, [B]ₓ×ᵧ, and [C]₃×₁, for matrix multiplication to be defined, x must equal 2.
The resulting product [A][B] will have dimensions 3 × y, which must match [C]₃×₁, so y = 1.
Question 13: If a function f(x) = x² + bx + 1 is increasing in the interval [1, 2], then the least value of b is:
(1) 5
(2) 0
(3) -2
(4) -4
(3) -2 The function f(x) = x² + bx + 1 is increasing if f'(x) ≥ 0 for all x in [1, 2].
The derivative f'(x) = 2x + b.
For f'(x) ≥ 0, check boundary points:
At x = 1, 2(1) + b ≥ 0 ⇒ b ≥ -2.
At x = 2, 2(2) + b ≥ 0 ⇒ b ≥ -4.
The least value of b is -2.
Question 14: Two dice are thrown simultaneously. If X denotes the number of fours, then the expectation of X will be:
(1) 5/9
(2) 1/3
(3) 4/7
(4) 3/8
(2) 1/3 Each die has a probability of 1/6 of showing a four. The expectation of X (the number of fours) is the sum of the expectations for each die: E(X) = E(X1) + E(X2).
E(X1) = 1/6, E(X2) = 1/6.
Thus, E(X) = 1/6 + 1/6 = 2/6 = 1/3.
Question 15: For the function f(x) = 2x³ − 9x² + 12x − 5, x ∈ [0, 3], match List-I with List-II:
List-I
(A) Absolute maximum value
(B) Absolute minimum value
(C) Point of maxima
(D) Point of minima
List-II
(I) 3
(II) 0
(III) -5
(IV) 4
(4) (A)- (IV), (B)- (III), (C)- (I), (D)- (II) Differentiate f(x) = 2x³ − 9x² + 12x − 5 to find f'(x) = 6x² − 18x + 12.
Solve f'(x) = 0 to find critical points within the interval [0, 3].
Evaluate f(x) at the endpoints x = 0 and x = 3, and at the critical points, to determine the absolute maximum and minimum values.
Question 16: The rate of change (in cm²/s) of the total surface area of a hemisphere with respect to radius r at r = √3 is:
(1) 66π
(2) 6.6π
(3) 3.3π
(4) 4.4π
(2) 6.6π The total surface area S of a hemisphere is given by S = 3πr².
Differentiate S with respect to r: dS/dr = 6πr.
At r = √3, substitute r = 1.1 (since √3 ≈ 1.1).
The rate of change is: dS/dr = 6π(1.1) = 6.6π.
Question 17: The area of the region bounded by the lines x + 7√3a + y/b = 4, x = 0, and y = 0 is:
(1) 56√3ab
(2) 56a
(3) ab²
(4) 3ab
(1) 56√3ab The equation of the line is x + 7√3a + y/b = 4.
The intercepts are: when x = 0, y = 4b, and when y = 0, x = 28√3a.
The area of the triangle formed is given by: Area = 1/2 × base × height.
The base is 28√3a and the height is 4b, so the area is: Area = 1/2 × (28√3a) × (4b) = 56√3ab.
Question 18: If A is a square matrix and I is an identity matrix such that A² = A, then A(I − 2A)³ + 2A³ is equal to:
(1) I + A
(2) I + 2A
(3) I − A
(4) A
(4) A We are given that A² = A.
Using this, simplify the expression A(I − 2A)³ + 2A³.
First, simplify (I − 2A)³ = I − 6A.
Then, the expression becomes A(I − 6A) + 2A.
Simplify to get A.
Question 19: The value of the integral ∫ (1 − cot(x)) csc(x) + cos(x) dx is:
(1) 0
(2) π/4
(3) ∞
(4) π/12
(1) 0 The integrand is symmetric about x = π/4, and since the function is odd with respect to π/4, the integral evaluates to zero.
Thus, the integral evaluates to 0.
Question 20: If vectors a, b, c are such that a + b + c = 0, |a| = |b| = 1, |c| = 2, then the angle between b and c is:
(1) 60°
(2) 90°
(3) 120°
(4) 180°
(4) 180° Given that a + b + c = 0, we can solve for c = −(a + b).
Since a and b are perpendicular (a · b = 0), the magnitude of a + b is √2.
Since c = −(a + b), the angle between b and c is 180°.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
(1) (A), (B), and (D) only The derivative of f(x) is f'(x) = cos(x) − sin(2x).

(2) sin(a + y) / sin² a
(3) sin(a + y) / sin a
(4) sin²(a + y) / sin a
(4) sin²(a + y) / sin a Differentiate both sides with respect to x: cos y * dy/dx = sin(a + y) + x cos(a + y) * dy/dx.
Isolate dy/dx and simplify to get: dy/dx = sin²(a + y) / sin a.

(1) √328/7
(2) 7
(3) √199/7
(4) √421/7
(3) √328/7 Use the formula for the distance between two skew lines: d = |(⃗d₁ × ⃗d₂) · (⃗r₂ − ⃗r₁)| / |⃗d₁ × ⃗d₂|. After calculating the cross product and dot product, the distance is √328/7.

(1) Even and strictly increasing in (0, ∞)
(2) Even and strictly decreasing in (0, ∞)
(3) Odd and strictly increasing in (−∞, ∞)
(4) Odd and strictly decreasing in (−∞, ∞)
(3) Odd and strictly increasing in (−∞, ∞) f(x) = 2 tan⁻¹(ex) − π/4 is an odd function and is strictly increasing over the entire real line. Thus, the correct answer is (3).

If the ball drawn is not black in color, the probability that it was not drawn from Bag-2 is:
(1) 4/9
(2) 3/8
(3) 2/7
(4) 4/19
(3) 2/7 Using Bayes' theorem, we calculate the probability that the ball was not drawn from Bag-2, given that it is not black. The final result is 2/7.

(1) 2, −3, −1
(2) −2, 3, 1
(3) 2, 3, −1
(4) 6, −9, −3
(3) 2, 3, −1 The direction ratios of the line x − 3 / 2 = 2 − y / 3 = z + 4 / −1 are 2, −3, −1. Option (3) does not match the correct direction ratios, as the second direction ratio should be negative.
Question 44: Which one of the following represents the correct feasible region determined by the following constraints of an LPP? x + y ≥ 10, 2x + 2y ≤ 25, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

(1) Symmetric
(2) Transitive
(3) An equivalence relation
(4) Reflexive
(3) An equivalence relation The relation R is reflexive (a line is parallel to itself), symmetric (if l₁ is parallel to l₂, then l₂ is parallel to l₁), and transitive (if l₁ is parallel to l₂, and l₂ is parallel to l₃, then l₁ is parallel to l₃).
Question 46: The probability of not getting 53 Tuesdays in a leap year is:
(1) 2/7
(2) 1/7
(3) 0
(4) 5/7
(4) 5/7 In a leap year, the two extra days can be any combination of days. To avoid getting 53 Tuesdays, the extra days must not include a Tuesday. The probability of not getting 53 Tuesdays is 5/7.

(1) π/3 The angle θ between two lines is given by the formula cosθ = (⃗d₁ · ⃗d₂) / (|⃗d₁| |⃗d₂|).
After calculating the dot product of the direction ratios and the magnitudes of the direction vectors, we find that θ = π/3.
Question 48: If (⃗a − ⃗b) · (⃗a + ⃗b) = 27 and |⃗a| = 2|⃗b|, then |⃗b| is:
(1) 3
(2) 2
(3) 5/6
(4) 6
(1) 3 From the equation (⃗a − ⃗b) · (⃗a + ⃗b) = 27, we simplify to obtain |⃗b| = 3 using the given condition |⃗a| = 2|⃗b|.
Question 49: If tan⁻¹(2 / 3 − x + 1) = cot⁻¹(3 / 3x + 1), then which one of the following is true?
(1) There is no real value of x satisfying the above equation.
(2) There is one positive and one negative real value of x satisfying the above equation.
(3) There are two real positive values of x satisfying the above equation.
(4) There are two real negative values of x satisfying the above equation.
(2) There is one positive and one negative real value of x satisfying the above equation. By using the identity cot⁻¹(y) = π/2 − tan⁻¹(y), we can solve the equation and find that there are two solutions for x, one positive and one negative.
Question 50: If A, B, and C are three singular matrices given by A = [3b, 5; a, 2], B = [1, 4; 3, 2], and C = [a + b + c, c + 1; a + c, c], then the value of abc is:
(1) 15
(2) 30
(3) 45
(4) 90
(3) 45 The determinant of each matrix is zero because they are singular. Solving the equations formed by the determinants, we find that the value of abc is 45.
