Answer: 8

Solution:

We know that, in any parabola, the length of the latus rectum = 4a and perpendicular distance from vertex to the directrix = a

Q.7. The equation of plane passing through the point (2,−1,0) and perpendicular to planes 2x − 3y + z = 0 and 2x − y − 3z = 0
is
A) 5x + 4y + 2z = 0

B) 2x − y + z = 3

C) 5x + 4y + 2z − 6 = 0

D) 2x + y − z = 3

Answer: 5x + 4y + 2z − 6 = 0

Solution: Let the required equation of the plane be a (x − x1) + b (y − y1) + c (z − z1) = 0

So 2a − 3b + c = 0 and 2a − b − 3c = 0
a b c
i.e.

Hence, equation of required plane is 5 (x − 2) + 4 (y + 1) + 2 (z − 0) = 0 ⇒ 5x + 4y + 2z − 6 = 0

Q.8. lim

A) 11

B) 21

C) 17

D) 7

Answer: 11

Embibe: AI Powered Personalised Adaptive Learning & Outcomes Platform 28


Solution: lim
Given x→1 ( ) = −2 .. .(i)
sin(3x2−4x+1)−x2+1
2x3−7x2+ax+b

Putting x = 1 in limit we get

lim sin 0−1+1 lim


⇒ x→1 ( ) = −2 ⇒ x→1 ( 0
) = −2
2−7+a+b a+b−5

For limit to exist a + b − 5 should be zero

so a + b − 5 = 0 ⇒ a + b = 5 . . . (ii)

Now Using L-Hospital in equation (i) we get

lim cos(3x2−4x+1)(6x−4)−2x
x→1 = −2
6x2−14x+a

Again putting x = 1 we get

lim (cos0)×(6−4)−2
⇒ x→1 = −2
6−14+a

lim 0
⇒ x→1 = −2
a−8

Again for limit to exist a − 8 = 0 ⇒ a = 8

So from equation (ii) we get

8 + b = 5 ⇒ b = −3
So a − b = 8 − (−3) = 11

Solution: Let f (x) = ax2 + bx + c

Given, f (−2) + f (3) = 0

⇒ 4a − 2b + c + 9a + 3b + c = 0
⇒ 13a + b + 2c = 0 . . . (i)

Since −1 is a root of f (x) = 0. So, f (−1) = 0

⇒ a − b + c = 0 . . . (ii)

On solving equations (i) & (ii), we get

11
11a + 3b = 0 ⇒ − ab = 3

A) nk

B) 2nk

Embibe: AI Powered Personalised Adaptive Learning & Outcomes Platform 30


C) 3nk

D) 4nk

Answer: 4nk

Solution: Given f (x) + f (x + k) = n . . . (i)

4k
I1 = ∫ 0 f (x)dx
3k
Now I2 = ∫ −k f (x)dx

Let x = t − k ⇒ dx = dt
4k
⇒ I2 = ∫ 0 f (t − k)dt

= ∫ 04k (n − f (t))dt {as f (t − k) = n − f (t)}

= ∫ 04k ndt − ∫ 04k f (t)dt

= 4nk − I1
Hence, I1 + I2 = 4nk

Solution: 2 2
Given that, one of the diameter of the circle (x − √2) + (y − 3√2) = 6 is a chord of another circle
2 2
(x − 2√2) + (y − 2√2) = r2.

Q.17. For the two relations R1 = {(a, b); a, b ∈ N : |a − b| ≤ 13} and R2 = {(a,b);a,b ∈ N : |a − b| ≠ 13}, the transitive relation
is(are)

B) only R2

C) both R1 and R2
Embibe: AI Powered Personalised Adaptive Learning & Outcomes Platform 33
1 2

D) neither R1 nor R2

Answer: neither R1 nor R2

Solution: To check if R1 is transitive -

Let a = 16, b = 4, c = 1

Here |a − b| = |16 − 4| ≤ 13 holds true

now |b − c| = |4 − 1| ≤ 13 ⇒ |3| ⩽ 13 also holds true

but |a − c| = |16 − 1| ≰ 13

Hence R1 is not transitive

Similarly, to check transitivity of R2

Let a = 16, b = 4, c = 3

Here |a − b| = |16 − 4| ≠ 13 and |b − c| = |4 − 3| ≠ 13

but |a − c| = |16 − 3| = 13

Hence, R2 is also not transitive.

Clearly, above sequence is in A.P. where

a = 1, d = 4 & tn = 97 ⇒ a + (n − 1)d = 97
