Since magnetic field is along y axis and velocity of electron in also along y axis, therefore no magnetic force will act on
electron.
Since EM wave propagates along x axis and magnetic field is along y axis, therefore the electric field will be along z – axis .
Hence electric force will be along z – axis.

Magnetic field cannot do work so statement 2 is wrong.
→ →
∵ the direction of V × B at P is along positive y, but particle deflects towards negative y, so we can say that q must be
negative.
∵ Kinetic energy has increased.
Hence we could say that electric field has done positive work.
17.  (A)
For first wave

B 1 = B 0cos(ky − ωt) î

Wave moves along y axis and magnetic field is along x axis

Hence E must be along z direction as E × B gives direction of wave and E0 = CB0

So E 1 = cB 0(ky − ωt) k̂

It can be seen that all the energy present in 900 microfarad capacitors has reached the 100 microfarad capacitor. Hence, t1

(viii) Enthalpy of adsorption in physisorption is negative ∆ G = ∆ H – T∆ S

So, it will show weak metallic bonding so shows less melting point

ad = 5 + bc

Exactly one out of ad and bc must be odd.

Possible odd products: 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 25

Following cases are possible:

bc = 1 = 1 × 1, ad = 6 = 2 × 3 → 2 ways

bc = 3 = 1 × 3, ad = 8 = 2 × 4 → 4 ways

bc = 5 = 1 × 5, ad = 10 = 2 × 5 → 4 ways

ad = 9 = 3 × 3, bc = 4 = 1 × 4 = 2 × 2 → 3 ways

bc = 15 = 3 × 5, ad = 20 = 4 × 5 → 4 ways

ad = 15 = 3 × 5, bc = 10 = 2 × 5 → 4 ways

ad = 25 = 5 × 5, bc = 20 = 4 × 5 → 2 ways

To find total number of functions having range \left\{ {1,2,3,4} \right\}, we need to divide 1,2,3,4,5,6 into 4 groups of 1,1,1,3

So total number of such functions
= \frac{{6!}}{{\left( {3!} \right)\left( {3!} \right)}} \times 4!\, + \frac{{6!}}{{{{\left( {2!} \right)}^2}\left( {2!} \right)\left( {2!} \right)}}
\times 4!
= 480 + 1080
= 1560
Number of such functions, when f\left( 1 \right) = f\left( 2 \right), is
= \frac{{5!}}{{\left( {2!} \right)\left( {3!} \right)}} \times 4! = 240
Required number of functions

\Rightarrow 22 \times 3!\, \times a = 660

\frac{{15}}{H} = \frac{{10}}{{H - 12}} = \frac{r}{{H - h}}

Volume of cylinder, V = \pi {r^2}h

\frac{{dV}}{{dr}} = \frac{{ - 12\pi }}{5}\left( {3{r^2} - 30r} \right) = \frac{{ - 36\pi }}{5}r\left( {r - 10} \right)

\cos \gamma = \frac{{\bar a \cdot \bar b}}{{\left| {\bar a} \right|\left| {\bar b} \right|}} = \frac{2}{7}

\Rightarrow \left( {k - 1} \right)\left( {k - 2} \right)\left( {k - 3} \right) = 0

Given equation is
\sin x + 1 = x
\Rightarrow \sin x = x - 1
Its root \alpha can be observed in the following graph :

Clearly, 1 < \alpha < 2

Hence for x \to \alpha \,,\,\,\left\{ x \right\} = x - \left[ x \right] = x - 1
\Rightarrow \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \alpha } \left[ {\frac{{\min \left( {\sin x,\,\,\{ x\} } \right)}}{{x - 1}}} \right] = \mathop
{\lim }\limits_{x \to \alpha } \left[ {\frac{{\min \left( {\sin x,\,\,x - 1} \right)}}{{x - 1}}} \right]
LHL = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {\alpha ^ - }} \left[ {\frac{{\min \left( {\sin x,\,\,x - 1} \right)}}{{x - 1}}} \right]
When x < \alpha
x - 1 < \sin x
\Rightarrow \min \left( {\sin x,\,\,x - 1} \right) = x - 1
So, LHL = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {\alpha ^ - }} \left[ {\frac{{x - 1}}{{x - 1}}} \right] = 1
Now, RHL = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {\alpha ^ + }} \left[ {\frac{{\min \left( {\sin x,\,\,x - 1} \right)}}{{x - 1}}} \right]
When x > \alpha
\sin x < x - 1
\Rightarrow \min \left( {\sin x,\,\,x - 1} \right) = \sin x
So, RHL = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {\alpha ^ + }} \left[ {\frac{{\sin x}}{{x - 1}}} \right] = 0
( \because \,\,{\text{for}}\,\,x \to {\alpha ^ + },\,\,\frac{{\sin x}}{{x - 1}} is just less than 1 )
Hence,{\text{LHL}} \ne {\text{RHL}}

{\frac{1}{{{{\left( {\sin x} \right)}^{2010}}}}dx} = {I_1} - {I_2}}
Applying by parts on {I_1}, we get

or \frac{h}{p},\frac{k}{p},\frac{l}{p}
Since OP is normal to the plane, therefore, equation of plane is

\therefore \;\;A\left( {\frac{{{p^2}}}{h},0,0} \right),B\left( {0,\frac{{{p^2}}}{k},0} \right),C\left( {0,0,\frac{{{p^2}}}{l}} \right)
Now, Area of \Delta ABC,\;\Delta = \sqrt {A_{xy}^2 + A_{yz}^2 + A_{zx}^2}

Similarly, {A_{yz}} = \frac{{{p^4}}}{{2|kl|}}\;{\text{and}}\;{A_{zx}} = \frac{{{p^4}}}{{2|lh|}}

f\left( {10 + x} \right) = f\left( {10 - x} \right)

Replace x by 10 – x
f\left( {20 - x} \right) = f\left( x \right)
We have f\left( {20 - x} \right) = - f\left( {20 + x} \right)
\Rightarrow f\left( x \right) = - f\left( {20 + x} \right)
Replace x by 20 + x
f\left( {20 + x} \right) = - f\left( {40 + x} \right)
- f\left( x \right) = - f\left( {40 + x} \right)
f\left( x \right) = f\left( {40 + x} \right)
So f is periodic.
Again
f\left( x \right) = - f\left( {20 + x} \right)
\Rightarrow f\left( { - x} \right) = - f\left( {20 - x} \right) = - f\left( x \right)
Thus f is odd

{x^3}y'' = {\left( {xy' - y} \right)^2}
or {x^3}\frac{{{d^2}y}}{{d{x^2}}} = {\left( {x\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} - y} \right)^2}
By comparing we get
n = 3\,,\,\,m = 2

{\text{RHL}}\left( {x = 0} \right) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {0^ + }} \,\,\left( {\alpha + \frac{{\sin \left[ x \right]}}{x}} \right) =
\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {0^ + }} \,\,\left( {\alpha + 0} \right) = \alpha
Also, \frac{{\sin x - x}}{{{x^3}}} = \frac{{x - \frac{{{x^3}}}{{3!}} + \frac{{{x^5}}}{{5!}}... - x}}{{{x^3}}} = \frac{{ - 1}}{{3!}} +
\frac{{{x^2}}}{{5!}} - ...
{\text{So,}}\,\,{\text{LHL}}\left( {x = 0} \right) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {0^ - }} \,\,\left( {\beta + \left[ {\frac{{\sin x - x}}
{{{x^3}}}} \right]} \right) = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {0^ - }} \,\,\left( {\beta - 1} \right) = \beta - 1
Since f\left( x \right) is continuous at x = 0\,.
Hence, LHL = RHL
\therefore \,\,\beta - 1 = \alpha
\Rightarrow \beta - \alpha = 1

For x \in \left( {0,\frac{\pi }{4}} \right)
{x^{2008}}{\left( {\tan x} \right)^{2008}} > {x^{2009}}{\left( {\tan x} \right)^{2009}} > {x^{2010}}{\left( {\tan x} \right)^{2010}}
\therefore \,\,\int\limits_0^{\pi /4} {{x^{2008}}{{\left( {\tan x} \right)}^{2008}}dx} > \int\limits_0^{\pi /4} {{x^{2009}}{{\left(
{\tan x} \right)}^{2009}}dx} > \int\limits_0^{\pi /4} {{x^{2010}}{{\left( {\tan x} \right)}^{2010}}dx}
\Rightarrow {I_1} > {I_2} > {I_3}
\Rightarrow {I_3} < {I_2} < {I_1}

Given, x = 1 - 3{t^2},\,y = t - 3{t^3}
For, P(−2, 2),
- 2 = 1 - 3{t^2}\,.....\left( {\text{i}} \right)\,\,\,\,\,\,{\text{and}}\,\,\,\,\,\,2 = t - 3{t^3}\,\,\,....\left( {{\text{ii}}} \right)
From (i)
3{t^2} = 3
{t^2} = 1
t = \pm \,1
As t = 1 doesn’t satisfy (ii)
Thus, t = - 1
Now, \frac{{dy}}{{dx}} = \frac{{dy/dt}}{{dx/dt}} = \frac{{1 - 9{t^2}}}{{ - 6t}}
\Rightarrow {\left. {\frac{{dy}}{{dx}}} \right|_{\left( {t = - 1} \right)}} = \frac{{1 - 9}}{6} = - \frac{4}{3}
Thus, equation of tangent at P is
\left( {y - 2} \right) = - \frac{4}{3}\left( {x + 2} \right)
3y - 6 = - 4x - 8
4x + 3y + 2 = 0
Now as this tangent intersects the curve again at Q
Thus,
4\left( {1 - 3{t^2}} \right) + 3\left( {t - 3{t^3}} \right) + 2 = 0
4 - 12{t^2} + 3t - 9{t^3} + 2 = 0
\begin{gathered}    \Rightarrow 9{t^3} + 12{t^2} - 3t - 6 = 0 \\    \Rightarrow \left( {3{t^2} + t - 2} \right)\left( {t + 1} \right) = 0 \\
   \Rightarrow \left( {3t - 2} \right){\left( {t + 1} \right)^2} = 0 \\ \end{gathered}
t = \frac{2}{3} (For Q as t = −1 is for P)
Thus slope of tangent at Q is
\begin{gathered}   {\left. {\frac{{dy}}{{dx}}} \right|_{\left( {t = \frac{2}{3}} \right)}} = \frac{{1 - 9{{\left( {\frac{2}{3}} \right)}^2}}}
{{ - 6\left( {\frac{2}{3}} \right)}} \\    = \frac{{1 - 4}}{{ - 4}} = \frac{3}{4} \\ \end{gathered}
Since, {\left. {\frac{{dy}}{{dx}}} \right|_{\left( {t = - 1} \right)}} \times {\left. {\,\,\frac{{dy}}{{dx}}} \right|_{\left( {t = \frac{2}{3}}
\right)}} = \frac{{ - 4}}{3} \times \frac{3}{4} = - 1
Hence, tangents at P and Q are at right angle.

\frac{{dx}}{{dt}} = \frac{{{l_1}}}{{10}}
Now, \tan \theta = \frac{{{l_2}}}{x} = \frac{y}{{{l_1}}}
\Rightarrow \,\,y = \frac{{{l_1}{l_2}}}{x}
\Rightarrow \,\,\frac{{dy}}{{dt}} = - \frac{{{l_1}{l_2}}}{{{x^2}}} \cdot \frac{{dx}}{{dt}}
\Rightarrow \,\,{\left. {\frac{{dy}}{{dt}}} \right|_{x\, = \,\frac{{{l_1}}}{2}}} = \frac{{ - 4\,{l_1}{l_2}}}{{l_1^2}}\left( {\frac{{{l_1}}}
{{10}}} \right) = - \frac{{2{l_2}}}{5}m/sec
