1. (i) x2 – 8kx + 16(k2 – k + 1) = 0  D = 64 (k2 – (k2 – k + 1)) = 64 (k – 1) > 0
 k>1 .......(1)

(iii) f(4)  0
 16 – 32k + 16 (k2 – k + 1)  0  k2 – 3k + 2  0
 (k – 2) (k – 1)  0  k  1 or k  2 .......(3)
(1)  (2)  (3). Hence k = 2
2. Product = 1
2 + 2 ( + )2 − 2
Sum = =

Since 3 + 3 = q  – p (2 + 2 – ) = q
q q
(( + )2 – 3 ) = –  p2 + = 3

so the equation is x2 –   x + 1 = 0
 p +q 

 (p3 + q) x2 – (p3 – 2q)x + (p3 + q) = 0

3. x2 – 6x – 2 = 0 having roots  and   2 – 6 – 2 = 0
 10 – 69 – 28 = 0  10 – 28 = 69 .... (i)
similarly 10 – 28 = 69 .... (ii)
@bohring_bot
by (i) and (ii)

2 −1 − b 1 − b
 b2 –b3 + 1– b = b2 + 2b +1  b3 + 3b = 0  b = 0 ; b2 = –3  b = 0  3 i ,
5. p(x) will be of the form ax2 + c. Since it has purely imaginary roots only.
Since p(x) is zero at imaginary values while ax2 + c takes real value only at real 'x', no root is
real.
Also p(p(x)) = 0  p(x) is purely imaginary  ax2 + c = purely
imaginary
Hence x can not be purely imaginary since x2 will be negative in that case and ax2 + c will be
real.
Thus .(D) is correct.

8. As  and  are roots of equation x2 – x –1 = 0, we get :
 –  – 1 = 0   =  + 1

from (i) and (ii)
correct equation is x2 – 7x + 6 = 0 roots are 6 and 1.

11. P(x) = 0  f(x) = g(x)  ax2 + bx + c = a1x2 + b1x + C,
 (a – a1) x2 + (b – b1) x + (c – c1) = 0.
It has only one solution x = – 1
 b – b1 = a – a1 + c – c1 .... (1)
b – b1

2(a – a1 )
 f(–2) – g(–2) = 2  4a – 2b + c – 4a1 + 2b1 – c1 = 2
 4(a – a1) – 2(b – b1) + (c – c1) = 2 .... (3)

by (1), (2) and (3) (a – a1) = (c – c1) = (b – b1) = 2

 sinx = ln(2 + 5)>1 so rejected so rejected
hence no solution
13. x2 + 2x + 3 = 0 ...(i) ax2 + bx + c = 0 ...(ii)

r2 + 8 = 2  r2 + 2r + 1 = r2 + 8 + 9
2r = 16  r=8

Let C1 and C2 be the centre of circle S1 and S2 respectively

Let C2QM = C2MQ =   QC2M =  – 2
Let C1PM = C1MP =   PC1M =  – 2
Now QC2M + PC1M =    – 2 +  – 2 =    +  = /2
Now QMP =  – QMC2 – PMC1 =  – ( + ) =  – /2 = /2
hence locus equation of variable point M is (x + 2)(x –2) + (y – 7)(y + 5) = 0
but locus of M does not contains point P and Q because P is included when radius of S1 is zero
and circle S2 becomes straight line which is impossible. Q is included when radius of S2 is zero
and circle S1 becomes straight line which is also impossible.
@bohring_bot
so set E1 does not contain point P(–2, 7) and Q(2, – 5)
Locus of mid-points of chords passing through (1, 1) is h + K – (1 + k) = h2 + k2 – 2K
 h2 + K2 – 2K – h + 1 = 0  x2 + y2 – x – 2y + 1 = 0
y –1 6
Now equation of line passing through P(–2, 7) and R(1, 1) is =  y + 2x – 3 = 0

Let centre of x2 + y2 – 2y – 39 = 0 is C3 (0, 1)  centre of locus of M is C3 (0, 1)

Solution

1.
A = {x |x2 + 20  9x} = {x |x  [4, 5]}

Now, f(x) = 6(x2 – 5x + 6)
f(x) = 0  x = 2, 3
f(2) = –20, f(3) = –21, f(4) = –16, f(5) = 7
from graph, maximum of f(x) on set A is f(5) = 7
2. g(f(x)) = x  g(f(x)) f(x) = 1 ........(i)
if f(x) = 1  x = 0, f(0) = 1
substitute x = 0 in (i), we get
@bohring_bot
1 1 x/2 1
g(1) =  g(1) = 2  (f(x) = 3x2 + e  f(0) = )
f (0) 2 2
3. f(x) = x2 ; g (x) = sin x  gof (x) = sin x2  gogof (x) = sin (sin x2)
 (fogogof) (x) = (sin (sin x2 ))2 = sin2 (sin x2)
Now sin2 (sin x2) = sin (sin x2)  sin (sin x2) = 0, 1

 sin x2 = n, (4n+1) ;  I  sin x2 = 0

 x2 = n  x =  n ; n  W

f(x) = 6x2 – 30 x + 36 = 6(x2 – 5x + 6) = 6(x – 2) (x – 3)
in given domain function has local maxima, it is many-one
Now at x = 0 f(0) = 1
x = 2 f(2) = 16 – 60 + 72 + 1 = 29
x = 3 f(3) = 54 – 135 + 108 + 1 = 163 – 135 = 28

2. Statement - 1 :
(i) x – x is an integer  x  R so A is reflexive relation.
(ii) y – x    x – y   so A is symmetric relation.
(iii) y – x   and z – y    y – x + z – y  
 z – x   so A is transitive relation.
Therefore A is equivalence relation.
Statement - 2 :
(i) x = x when  = 1  B is reflexive relation
(ii) for x = 0 and y = 2, we have 0 = (2) for  = 0
But 2 = (0) for no 
so B is not symmetric so not equivalence.
3. for reflexive

(A , A)  R  A = P–1 A P
which is true for P = I
 reflexive
for symmetry
As (A, B)  R for matrix P
A = P–1 BP  PA = PP–1 BP  PAP–1 = IBPP–1
 PAP–1 = IBI  PAP–1 = B  B = PAP–1
 (B, A) R for matrix P–1  R is symmetric
for transitivity
A = P–1 BP and B = P–1CP  A = P–1 (P–1 CP)P
 A = (P–1)2 CP2  A = (P2)–1 C(P2)
 (A, C)  R for matrix P2  R is transitive
so R is equivalence

 x  (– , 0)
5. f(x) = (x – 1)2 + 1, x  1
f : [1, ) → [1, ) is a bijective function
 y = (x – 1)2 + 1  (x – 1)2 = y – 1  x = 1 ± y – 1  f –1(y) = 1 ± y –1
 f –1(x) = 1 + x – 1 { x  1}
so statement-2 is correct
Now f(x) = f –1(x)  f(x) = x  (x – 1)2 + 1 = x  x2 – 3x + 2 = 0  x = 1, 2
so statement-1 is correct

f(2n ) = bn + 1 So B is correct

f((2n + 1) ) = an  an − bn +1 = −1
f((2n + 1)+ ) = bn+1 − 1
 an −1 − bn = −1
So D is correct
10*. Consider
h(x) = f(x) – g(x) Assume a<b
h(a) =  – g(a) > 0
h(b) = f(b) –  < 0
else if a > b h(a) < 0 and h(b) > 0.
By intermediate value theorem  h(c) = 0 .....(1)
(A) (f(c)) 2 + 3f(c) = (g(c)) 2 + 3g(c)
(f(c) – g(c)) (f(c) + g(c) + 3) = 0

So there exist a 'c' : f(c) – g(c)
from (1).
Hence A is correct.
(D) Similarly (f(c)) 2 = (g(c)) 2
(f(c) – g(c)) (f(c) + g(c)) = 0
 (D) is correct.
B&C are wrong as by counter eg
@bohring_bot
If f(x) = g(x) =   0, then
B → 2 +  = 2 + 3 is not possible.
C → 2 + 3 = 2 +  is not possible.

x  [1, )   (0, 1]

As f(1) = sin 1 + cos 1 > 1
@bohring_bot
f(x) is strictly decreasing and lim f(x) = 1
x →
so graph of f(x) is as below

Now in [x, x + 2], x  [1, ), f(x) is continuous and differentiable
f(x + 2) − f(x)
so by LMVT, f(x) =

as f(x) > 1 for all x  [1, )
f(x + 2) − f(x)

H(0) = 85
By (B) choice there exists some x0 such that (f(x0))2  1 for some x0 in (-4, 0)
hence H(x0) = f2(x0) + (f(x0))2  4 + 1
H(x0)  5
Hence let p  (-4, 0) for which H(p) = 5
(note that we have considered p as largest such negative number)
similarly let q be smallest positive number  (0, 4) such that H(q) = 5
Hence By Rolle's theorem is (p, q)
H(c) = 0 for some c  (–4, 4) and since H(x) is greater than 5 as we move from x = p

P(1) = 1 + a + b + d

Solution
1. There are two possible cases

Case 1 : Five 1’s, one 2’s, one 3’s
7!
Number of numbers = = 42
5!
Case 2 : Four 1’s, three 2’s
7!
Number of numbers = = 35
4! 3!
Total number of numbers = 42 + 35 = 77
2. S = {1, 2, 3, 4}
Each element can be put in 3 ways either in subsets or we don’t put in any subset.
3 3 3 3 −1
So total number of unordered pairs = + 1 = 41. [Both subsets can be empty also]

So an = an–1 + an–2
@bohring_bot
So A choice is correct
consider B choice c17  c16 + c15
c15  c14 + c13 is not true
consider C choice b17  b16 + c16
a16  a15 + a14 is not true
consider D choice a17 = c17 + b16
a17 = a15 + a15 which is not true
Aliter
using the Recursion formula

an = an–1 + an–2
Similarly bn = bn–1 + bn– 2 and cn = cn–1 + cn– 2  n  3
and an = bn + cn n1
so a1 = 1 , a2 = 2 , a3 = 3, a4 = 5, a5 = 8..........
b1 = 1 , b2 = 1 , b3 = 2, b4 = 3, b5 = 5, b6 = 8 ..........
c1 = 0 , c2 = 1 , c3 = 1, c4 = 2, c5 = 3, c6 = 5 ..........
using this bn–1 = cn  n  2
5. b6 = a5
a5 = 1 - - - 1 1---0

6. n2 = n1 + t1 + 1
n3 = n2 + t2 + 1
n4 = n3 + t3 + 1
n5 = n4 + t4 + 1
The given equation becomes
5n1 + 4t1 + 3t2 + 2t3 + t4 = 10 where n1  1 ; t1  0
n1 = t0 + 1  5t0 + 4t1 + 3t2 + 2t3 + t4 = 5
t0 = 1 will yield only 1 solution.
so t0 = 0,
4t1 + 3t2 + 2t3 + t4 = 5.
t1 = 0 = t2. there will be 3 solution
t1 = 0, t2 = 1 will yield 2 solution.
t1 = 1, t2 must be zero 1 solution.
Hence in total there will be 7 solution.

Number of line segment joining non-adjacent points is nC2 – n.

Solution

1. Since a . c=  angle between a and c is 60º
2
Let angle between a and b be 1 , c and d be 2 and a  b and c  d be  .
(a  b) . (c  d) = 1
 sin 1 . sin 2 . cos  = 1
 1 = 90º, 2 = 90º ,  = 0º
 a ⊥ b, c ⊥ d, (a  b) || (c  d)
so a  b = k(c  d)
Taking dot product with c
(a  b) . c = k(c  d) . c  [a b c] = 0  a, b, c are coplanar vectors
Again, a  b = k (c  d)
Taking dot product with d
(a  b) . d = k (c  d) . d  [a b d] = 0
 a, b, d are coplanar vectors

Hence, a, b, c, d are coplanar vectors
From figure, clearly, b and d are non-parallel vectors.

2. z z (z2 + z 2 ) = 350  2(x2 + y2) (x2 – y2 ) = 350  (x2 + y2) (x2 –y2) = 175
Since x, y   , the only possible case which gives integral solution, is
x2 + y2 = 25 ......... (1)
x2 – y2 = 7 ..........(2)
From (1) and (2) x2 = 16 ; y2 = 9
