4  

(ln  )(cot x )ln 1( cosec 2 x ) 

L , Now at x =
(ln )(tan x )ln 1(sec 2 x ) 4
L = –log (Given ,  > 1)

L is always negative

2. Answer (4)

337 = 3(81)9 = 3(80 +1)9 = 3 (9C0.809 + 9C1(80)8 + ...... + 9C9)

Remainder = 3 = R1

Now, nP = n + M(P) is P is prime and n and P are also coprime to each other

Now, 4101 = 4 + M(101) Now remainder = 4 = R2

sin3 cos3 3sin   4sin3  4cos3   3cos 

Now,   
sin  cos  sin  cos 
= 3 – 4sin2 + 4cos2 – 3

= 4cos2– 4sin2 = 4 cos2

Range is (–4, 4) as   (0, /2)

Now, minimum value is slighty grater than –4

3. Answer (3)

One root is common let that is 

then  = 1 is a common root

Now, put  = 1

So a + b + c = 0

and if a + b + c = 0

then a3 + b3 + c3 = 3abc

3 
Now    0

= Coefficient of xn in (1 – x)–2[2n – nC12n – 1(1 – x) + nC2.2n – 2(1 – x)2 + .......+ (–1)n(1 – x)n]
 Coefficient of xn in [2n(1 – x)–2 – nC1(1 – x)–1 + nC22n – 2 + ....... + (–1)n(1 – x)n – 2]
 = 2n n + 1Cn – nC12n – 1

Let P  r a1 s b1 t c1
q  r a2 s b2 t c2
a b c

Now LCM of (P, q) = LCM of r 1 s 1 t 1  
a b c
and r 2 s 2 t 2  4
= r 2t s2
Now,
Maximum of (a1, a2) = 2 has 5 ways
Maximum of (b1, b2) = 2 has 5 ways
Maximum of (c1, c2) = 4 has 9 ways
Now required number of ways = 5 × 5 × 9 = 225

(1) det (M – I) = det(M – MMT) (given MMT = I) det M(I – MT) (det (AB) = (det A) (det B))
= – (detM) det (MT – I)
= – det (MT – I) (∵ det M = I)
det (M – I) = –det(M – I)T ( det A = det AT)
det (M – I) = –det (M – I)
2 det (M – I) = 0  det (M – I) = 0
(2) BBT = (I – A)–1(I + A) [(I – A)–1(I + A)]T
= (I – A)–1(I + A)(I + A)T((I – A)T)–1
= (I – A)–1(I + A)(I – AT)((I – A)T)–1 [ (x–1)T = (xT)–1]
= (I – A)–1(I + A)(I – A)((I + A))–1 [AT = –A]
= (I – A)–1(I – A) (I + A)(I + A)–1
= I. I  B is orthogonal
(3) AT = A and BT = –B
Given (A + B) (A – B) = (A – B)(A + B)
AB = BA ....... (i)
Now
(AB)T = (–1)KAB
BTAT = (–1)KAB
–BA = (–1)K BA from equation (i)
Now K is odd number

In ETS, H+ of NADH+ (from Kreb’s cycle) is accepted by FAD through a series of carriers. As a result of which FAD
is reduced to FADH+ and NADH+ is oxidised to NAD+. Reduced FADH+ is oxidised by CoQ with the formation of
CoQH+. H+ then move to Cyt b,then Cyt c, Cyt a and Cyt a3. Ultimately these H+ are accepted by O2 and as a
result H2O is formed.
