𝑎−𝑏 𝑎+𝑏 𝑐

passes through the fixed point which is

(a) (1,2) (b) (1,1) (c) (-2,1) (d) (1,0)

Solution:

Applying 𝐶1 → 𝑎𝐶1 and then 𝐶1 → 𝐶1 + 𝑏𝐶2 + 𝑐𝐶3 , and taking (𝑎2 + 𝑏 2 + 𝑐 2 ) common from 𝐶1 , we get

1 𝑏−𝑐 𝑐+𝑏
(𝑎2 +𝑏2 +𝑐 2 )
△= 𝑎
|1 𝑏 𝑐 − 𝑎|
1 𝑏+𝑐 𝑐
1 𝑏−𝑐 𝑐+𝑏
(𝑎 2 +𝑏2 +𝑐 2 )
= 𝑎
|0 𝑐 − 𝑎 − 𝑏|
0 𝑎+𝑐 −𝑏

(𝑅2 → 𝑅2 − 𝑅1 , 𝑅3 → 𝑅3 − 𝑅1 )

(𝑎 2 +𝑏2 +𝑐 2 )
= 𝑎
(−𝑏𝑐 + 𝑎2 + 𝑎𝑏 + 𝑎𝑐 + 𝑏𝑐)

(Expending along 𝐶1 ,)

= (𝑎2 + 𝑏 2 + 𝑐 2 )(𝑎 + 𝑏 + 𝑐)
𝐻𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒, △= 0 ⇒ 𝑎 + 𝑏 + 𝑐 = 0

Therefore, line 𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏𝑦 + 𝑐 = 0 passes through the fixed point (1,1)

0 0 𝑒𝛽

(a) 𝐴(−𝛼, −𝛽) (b) 𝐴(−𝛼, 𝛽) (c) 𝐴(𝛼, −𝛽) (d) 𝐴(𝛼, 𝛽)

Solution:

We have

𝑒 𝛽 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝛼 −𝑒 𝛽 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝛼 0

𝐴(𝛼, 𝛽) = 𝑒𝛽
[ 𝑒 𝛽 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝛼 𝑒 𝛽 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝛼 0 ]

= 𝐴(−𝛼, −𝛽)

3. If A and B are two non – singular matrices of order 3 such that = 𝐴𝐴𝑇 = 2𝐼 and 𝐴−1 = 𝐴𝑇 − 𝐴. adj.
(2𝐵−1 ), then det. (B)is equal to
 JEE ADVANCED: MATRICES & DETERMINANTS DPP
(a) 4 (b) 4√2 (c) 16 (d) 16√2

Solution:

𝐴𝐴𝑇 = 2𝐼

⇒ |𝐴|2 = 8
𝑁𝑜𝑤, 𝐴−1 = 𝐴𝑇 − 𝐴𝑎𝑑𝑗. (2𝐵−1 )

Multiplying with A, we get

𝐼 = 𝐴𝐴𝑇 − 𝐴2 𝑎𝑑𝑗. (2𝐵−1 )

∴ 𝐼 = 2𝐼 − 𝐴2 𝑎𝑑𝑗. (2𝐵1 )
⇒ 𝐴2 𝑎𝑑𝑗. (2𝐵−1 ) = 𝐼
⇒ |𝐴|2 |𝑎𝑑𝑗. (2𝐵−1 )| = 1
⇒ 8|2𝐵−1 |2 = 1
64
⇒ 8. |𝐵|2 = 1 ⇒ |𝐵|2 = 64 × 8
∴ |𝐵| = ±(8 × 2√2) = ±16√2

(1)𝑓(𝜃) = 0 has exactly 2 real solutions in [0, 𝜋]

(2)𝑓(𝜃) = 0 has exactly 3 real solutions in [0, 𝜋]

(3) Range of function 1−𝑠𝑖𝑛 2𝜃 𝑖𝑠[−√2, √2]

𝑓(𝜃)
(4) Range of function 𝑠𝑖𝑛 2𝜃−1 𝑖𝑠[−3,3]

Solution:

𝑓(𝜃) = 𝑠𝑖𝑛3 𝜃 + 𝑐𝑜𝑠 3 𝜃 − 𝑐𝑜𝑠 𝜃 𝑠𝑖𝑛 𝜃 (𝑠𝑖𝑛 𝜃 + 𝑐𝑜𝑠 𝜃)

= (𝑠𝑖𝑛 𝜃 + 𝑐𝑜𝑠 𝜃)3 − 4 𝑠𝑖𝑛 𝜃 𝑐𝑜𝑠 𝜃 (𝑠𝑖𝑛 𝜃 + 𝑐𝑜𝑠 𝜃)
= (𝑠𝑖𝑛 𝜃 + 𝑐𝑜𝑠 𝜃)[1 − 𝑠𝑖𝑛 2 𝜃]
𝑁𝑜𝑤, 𝑓(𝜃) = 0
⇒ 𝑡𝑎𝑛 𝜃 = −1 𝑜𝑟 𝑠𝑖𝑛 2 𝜃 = 1

⇒ 𝑓(𝜃) = 0 has 2 real solutions in [0, 𝜋]

𝑓(𝜃)
Also, 1−𝑠𝑖𝑛 2𝜃 = 𝑠𝑖𝑛 𝜃 + 𝑐𝑜𝑠 𝜃 ∈ [−√2, √2]

distinct positive reals, then the possible values of abc is / are

(a)

Solution:

We have

(𝑎 − 𝑏)(𝑏 − 𝑐)(𝑐 − 𝑎) = (𝑎 − 𝑏)(𝑏 − 𝑐)(𝑐 − 𝑎)(𝑎 + 𝑏 + 𝑐)

⇒𝑎+𝑏+𝑐 =1 (𝑎 ≠ 𝑏 ≠ 𝑐)

As a, b and c are positive.

Using 𝐴𝑀 > 𝐺𝑀, We get

∴ 𝑎𝑏𝑐 < 27

(a) -2 (b) -1 (c) 0 (d) 1

Solution:

We know that

𝑑𝑒𝑡.( 𝐴) = 𝑎11 𝐴11 + 𝑎12 𝐴21 + 𝑎13 𝐴31

= (1)(−2) + (3)(−1) + (2)(3𝛼)
= 6𝛼 − 5

Also, (𝑑𝑒𝑡.( 𝐴)2 ) = 𝑑𝑒𝑡.( 𝑎𝑑𝑗. 𝐴) = −10 + 17𝛼 − 6𝛼 2

∴ (6𝛼 − 5)2 = −10 + 17𝛼 − 6𝛼 2

⇒ 42𝛼 2 − 77𝛼 + 35 = 0
⇒ 6𝛼 2 − 11𝛼 + 5 = 0
⇒ (𝛼 − 1)(6𝛼 − 5) = 0
⇒ 𝛼 = 1,5/6
𝐹𝑜𝑟, 𝛼 = 1, 𝑑𝑒𝑡.( 𝐴) = 6 − 5 = 1
𝐹𝑜𝑟, 𝛼 = 5/6, 𝑑𝑒𝑡.( 𝐴) = 0

8. Let 𝛼, 𝛽, 𝛾 are the real roots of the equations 𝑥 3 + 𝑎𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐 = 0(𝑎, 𝑏, 𝑐 ∈ 𝑅 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑎 ≠ 0). If the
system of equations (in 𝑢, 𝑣 and 𝑤) given by

𝛼𝑢 + 𝛽𝑣 + 𝛾𝑤 = 0
𝛽𝑢 + 𝛾𝑣 + 𝛼𝑤 = 0
𝛾𝑢 + 𝛼𝑣 + 𝛽𝑤 = 0 has non-trivial solution, that the value of 𝑎2 /𝑏 is____3___.

Solution:

Equations 𝑥 3 + 𝑎𝑥 2 + 𝑏𝑥 + 𝑐 = 0 has roots 𝛼, 𝛽, 𝛾. Therefore.

𝛼 + 𝛽 + 𝛾 = −𝑎
𝛼𝛽 + 𝛽𝛾 + 𝛾𝛼 = 𝑏

Since the given system of equations has non – trivial solutions we have

𝛼 𝛽 𝛾
|𝛽 𝛾 𝛼 | = 0
𝛾 𝛼 𝛽

𝛼 3 + 𝛽 3 + 𝛾 3 − 3𝛼𝛽𝛾 = 0
𝑜𝑟(𝛼 + 𝛽 + 𝛾)[𝛼 2 + 𝛽 2 + 𝛾 2 − 𝛼𝛽 − 𝛽𝛾 − 𝛾𝛼] = 0
𝑜𝑟(𝛼 + 𝛽 + 𝛾)[(𝛼 + 𝛽 + 𝛾)2 − 3(𝛼𝛽 + 𝛽𝛾 + 𝛾𝛼)] = 0
⇒ −𝑎[𝑎2 − 3𝑏] = 0
𝑜𝑟 𝑎2 /𝑏 = 3
