Slope of AB = 2p+1, Slope of BC=
(x) =
(x)=0 ⟹log x = 1 ⟹ x = 10 2 p+1 = ⟹ 4p2-4p+1=0
Minimum occurs at x = 10 ⟹ (2p-1)2=0
(x) = positive. So minimum occurs at x = 10 ⟹ p=

Relation R is reflexive ⟹ (1,1),(2,2),(3,3) ∈R
Symmetric ⟹{(1,2),(2,1),(3,1),(1,3),(2,3),3,2)}
D (x, y) ∈R.
Since D is the image of C ⟹ Co=Do R is transitive also. Hence Relation R is

gives x=-z Function is decreasing in the internal
Putting value of z in x+2y+3z=0 gives y=-z
43. (c) Vertices (4,0),(-1,-1) and (3,5)
Putting value of x and y in kx-14y+15z=0
A= (4,0), B=(-1,-1) C=(3,5)

38. (a) Tank filled in minute = part
Tank emptied in 1 minute = part
BC=
Tank filled in 1 minute when both taps are open
AC=

part of tank is filled = 1 minute By Pythagoras theorem, (BC)2=(AB)2+(AC)2
0.25 part of tank is filled in = 36×0.25=9 Hence ∆ABC is an isosceles, right angled
minutes triangle.
44. (c) Tangent is parallel to x=axis
39. (b) 75 person 1 day work = Slope of x axis = 0
work done by 75 persons in 4 days = Slope of tangent = Slope of x axis = 0
Work done by 1 person in 1 day = Equation of curve y = x+
Remaining work = 1-
work done by 50 persons in 1 day ⟹ ⟹ ⟹
