(∵ x → 0+ , [x] = 0 ⇒ {x} = x)
Also, limx→0− f(x) = limx→0− √{x}cot {x} = √cot 1 ………(2)
(∵ x → 0− , [x] = −1 ⇒ {x} = x + 1 ⇒ {x} → 1)
Also, cot −1 (limx→0− f(x))2 = cot −1 (cot 1) = 1.

Sol. Sol. (a, c, d) Given, sin−1 (cos (tan−1 (cosec (cot −1 x)))) = 6
π
⇒ sin−1 (cos (tan−1 √1 + x 2 )) = 6
1 π
⇒ sin−1 (√x2 ) =
+2 6
⇒ √x 2 + 2 = 2
⇒ x2 = 2
⇒ x = ±√2
So, x1 = √2 and x2 = −√2
Now, verify alternatives.

∴ Option (a) is correct. and sin (cos−1 x) = sin θ = 2 (√5 − 1)
Also, option (c) is correct

Section-II (Maximum Marks : 18)

• This section contains TWO (02) paragraphs. Based on each paragraph, there are THREE (03)
questions having four options each.
• ONLY ONE of these four options is the correct answer.
• For each question, choose the option corresponding to the correct answer.

Paragraph for question no. 7 to 9

Let f: R → R be a function satisfying f(2 − x) = f(2 + x) and f(20 − x) = f(x)∀x ∈ R. For this
function f, answer the following.
7. If f(0) = 5, then the minimum possible number of values of x satisfying f(x) = 5,

for x ∈ [0,170], is
(A) 21 (B) 12 (C) 11 (D) 22
Ans. (C)
APNI KAKSHA 5
Sol. 7. Given f(0) = 5.
∴ f(0) = f(16) = f(32) = ⋯ = f(160) = 5
8. The graph of y = f(x) is not symmetrial about

(A) symmetrical about x = 2
(B) symmetrical about x = 10
(C) symmetrical about x = 8
(D) none of these
Ans. (C)
Sol. f(2 − x) = f(2 + x)
Hence, y = f(x) is symmetrical about x = 2.
Also, f(20 − x) = f(x)
or f(20 − (10 + x)) = f(10 + x)
or f(10 − x) = f(10 + x)
Hence, y = f(x) is symmetrical about x = 10.
9. If f(2) ≠ f(6), then the

(A) fundamental period of f(x) is 1
(B) fundamental period of f(x) may be 1
(C) period of f(x) cannot be 1
(D) fundamental period of f(x) is 8
Ans. (C)
Sol. If 1 is a period, then f(x) = f(x + 1)∀x ∈ R or f(2) = f(3) = f(4) = f(5) = f(6) which
contradicts the given hypotheses that f(2) ≠ f(6). Scan Therefore, 1 cannot be period of f(x).
f(2 − x) = f(2 + x)
Replace x by 2 − x. Then f(x) = f(4 − x)
Also, given f(20 − x) = f(x)
From (1) and (2), f(4 − x) = f(20 − x).
Replace x by 4 − x. Then f(x) = f(x + 16).
Hence, the period of f(x) is 16 .
