c4
Therefore, x 2   a2
x2
 x 4  a 2 x 2  c4  0
Now, sum of the roots: x1  x 2  x 3  x 4  0

37. If E and F are events with P  E   P  F  and P  E  F   0 , then:
(A) occurrence of E  occurrence of F

(B) occurrence of F  occurrence of E
(C) non-occurrence of E  non-occurrence of F
(D) none of the above implications holds
Ans. (D)
Sol. Considering the set S.
E is subset of S and F is subset of S, F being the largest set.
As P  E  F  is not zero then this means that E and F have something in common. But
still they can be independent. E might be completely inside of F or some very little part
of E is in F.
Hence, all the first three options are incorrect.

Sol. (A) u   v  w  is meaningful as v  w is a vector and dot product of two vectors is
meaningful.
    
(B)  u  v   w is not meaningful as u  v is scalar and dot product of scalar and vector is

54. Let f(x) = Ax2 + Bx + C where A, B, C are real numbers. Prove that if f(x) is an integer
whenever x is an integer, then the numbers 2A, A + B and C are all integers. Conversely,
prove that if the numbers 2A, A + B and C are all integers then f(x) is an integer whenever
x is an integer.
Sol. Let us consider the integral values of x as 0, 1, 1. Then f(0), f(1) & f(1) are all integers.
Therefore, C, A + B + C and A – B + C are all integers.
Therefore, C is integer and hence, A + B is an integer and also A – B is an integer.
2A   A  B    A  B 
Therefore, 2A, A + B and C are all integers

Q.37 Let a, b, c, d be real numbers in G.P. If u, v, w satisfy the system of equations

u + 2v + 3 w = 6
4u + 5v + 6 w = 12
6u + 9v = 4
Then show that the roots of the equation :

 u v w 
and 20x2 + 10 (a – d)2 x – 9 = 0 are reciprocals of each other.
Sol. Given equations are
u + 2v + 3 w = 6 …(1)
4u + 5v + 6 w = 12 …(2)
6u + 9v = 4 …(3)
Multiplying (1) by (2) and adding to equation (2), we get
6u + 9v + 12w = 24
From eq. (3) 4 + 12w = 24
 12w  20
 w 5/3
From (1), we get u + 2v = 1 …(4)
Solving (3) and (4) we get, –3v = –2
v = 2/3
from (3), we get u = –1/3

Sol. Equation of any tangent to circle x 2  y2  1 is

Since it passes through (–2, 0) therefore

Hence, equations of T1 and T2 are 3y  x  2

Now, by symmetry the circle which touches given circles and also have T1 ,T2 as tangent line
must have their centre on x-axis and also have position as shown in the above figure.
Let centre of the circles be ( h1 , 0) and ( h 2 , 0)
Then we have

1.(a) The fourth power of the common difference of an arithmetic progression with
integer entries is added to the product of any four consecutive terms of it. Prove
that resulting sum is the square of an integer.
Sol. Let the 4 numbers which are integers in A.P. be a – 3d, a – d, a + d, a + 3d : common
difference = 2d
Now, According to the condition
Let P(a –3d) (a – d) (a + d) (a + 3d) + (2d)4
= (a2 – 9d2) (a2 – d 2) + 16d4
= a4 – 10a2d 2 + 25d2
= (a2 – 5d2)2
= (a2 – 9d2 + 4d2)2
= [(a –3d) (a + 3d) + (2d)2]2
= (integer)2 Hence Proved.

Sol. Let P  n  :  n 1 

Step-I: For n = 1

Hence, the result is true for n = 1
Step-II: Assume that the result is true for n  k, k  1 ,

Now, b 2  4ac  0  b 2  2ac  2ac  0

 1  2 2 (From Step-I)
 1   2   2  2 3
 1   2   2   3  2 4
Proceeding in the same manner, we get

Also, 1   2   3     k 1  c   2    k  2c

Therefore, b 2  2a  1   2     k 1   b2  4ac  0
  n  0,  1 n  k  2
Thus, 2a k 1  b2  2a  1   2    k   k 1 
 4a k 1  b2  2a  1   2     k  (From Step-II)

Hence,  k  2 

Therefore, by the principle of mathematical induction, result is true for n  1 .

As f  x   cF  x  , for all x  0 , we get,

f  0  0
Since, f  x   0,  x  0 , we get, f  0   0
f 0   0
Since, f is continuous in  0,   and F is differentiable in  0,   ,
So, F  x   f  x   x  0
Since, f  x   cF  x  ,  x  0 , we have

Thus, g  x   e  cx F  x  is a decreasing function on  0,  
Therefore, g  x   g  0  , for each x  0
But g  0  e  c0 F  0   0
Thus, g  x   0,  x  0

Thus, f  x   cF  x   0,  x  0

Sol. Since, g(x) is continuous at x  

x 
 f      g  
 f  x  is differentiable at x  
Conversely, suppose f is differentiable at  , then

Clearly, lim g  x   f    

9. Let C1 and C2 be two circles with C2 lying inside C1 . A circle C lying inside C1
touches C1 internally and C2 externally. Identify the locus of the centre of C.
Ans. (Ellipse)
Sol. Let the given circles C1 and C2 have centres O1 and O 2 and radii r1 and r2
respectively.
Let the variable circle C touching C1 internally and C2 externally have a radius
r and centre at O.
Now, OO2  r  r2 and OO1  r1  r
 OO1  OO 2  r1  r2
which is greater than O1O 2  i.e O1O 2  r1  r2 
( C 2 lies inside C1 )
 Locus of O is an ellipse with foci O1 and O 2
Alternatively:
Let equations of C1 be x 2  y 2  r12 and of C 2 be
2 2
x  a    y  b  r22
Let centre C be (h, k) and radius r, then by the given condition

2 2
h  a   k  b  r  r2 and h 2  k 2  r1  r
2 2
 h  a   k  b  h 2  k 2  r1  r2
Required locus is

x  a   y  b 2   x 2  y 2  r1  r2
which represents an ellipse whose foci are at (a, b) and (0, 0).

Show that either 1 +  + 2 + ..... + p–1 = 0 or 1 +  + 2 + ...... + q–1 = 0, but not both

Sol. z –z –z +1=0
p q
 (z – 1) (z – 1) = 0
1/p 1/q
 z = (1) or (1) …..(1)
where p and q are distinct prime numbers. Hence, both the equations will have distinct
roots and as z  1, both will be simultaneously zero for any value of z given by Eq. (1).
Also,

Q.11 Three normals with slopes m1 ,m2 and m3 are drawn from a point P not on the axis of
the parabola y2  4x. If m1m 2  , results results in the locus of P being a part of the
parabola, find the value of  .
Ans. (2)
Sol. Any normal of slope m to the parabola
y2  4x. is y  mx  2m  m3 …(1)
If it passes through (h, k), then
k  mh  2m  m3
 m3   2  h  m  k  0 …(2)
Thus m1m2 m3  k .

Now m1m 2    m 3 

Now m3 satisfies (2), so

 y2   2  x   2   3  0 , as y  0 (P does not lie on the axis of the parabola)
 y 2   2 x  2 2   3
If it is a part of the parabola y2  4x then  2  4 and  2 2  a 3  0

Sol. Let f  x   sin x  tan 1 x

 f '  x   cos x 
1 x2

Now in the first quadrant cosx is concave down and is concave up, hence

f '  x   0.
Thus f is an increasing function.
Hence f  x   f  0  ,  x  0, x  1
 sin x  tan 1 x.
on replacing x by tanx, we get
sin(tanx) ≥x.
Hence proved.

20. Two planes P1 and P2 pass through origin. Two lines L1 and L2 also passing through origin are
such that L1 lies on P1 but not on P2 , L2 lies on P2 but not on P1 . A, B, C are three points other
than origin, then prove that the permutation  A, B, C of  A, B, C  exists such that
(i) A lies on L1 , B lies on P1 not on L1 , C does not lie on P1
(ii) A lies on L2 , B lies on P2 not on L2 , C does not lie on P2
Sol. A corresponds to one of A , B, C and
B corresponds to one of the remaining of A , B, C and
C corresponds to third of A , B, C
Hence, six such permutations are possible

Since A lies on L1
If A  A '  A lies on L 2
 A is origin (violates the given condition)

If A  B '  A lies on P2
 A is origin (violates the given condition)
 A  C'
Now B lies on P1
If B  A '  B lies on L2
 B is origin (Rejected)
 B  B'
 C  A'
  ABC   CBA  .

put x = 1/2 + x
1  1 
f   x = f   x
2  2 
Hence f (x + 1/2) is an even function or f (x + 1/2) sin x is an odd function.
Also, f '  x  = – f ' (1 – x) and for x = 1/2, we have f ' (1/ 2) = 0.

Also,  f (1  t)esin t dt =   f  y  esin y dy (obtained by putting, 1 – t = y).
1/ 2 1/2
Since f ' (1/4) = 0. f ' (3/4) = 0. Also f ' (1/2) = 0

 f "  x  = 0 atleast twice in [0, 1] (Rolle’s Theorem)

b c 1
 1  c2  a 2  2abc  b2
 1  (a 2  b 2  c2 )  2abc
Here two of the three among a, b, c are zero and other is 1
So  1  (a 2  b2  c2 )  0 always

equations:

Then the number of such points for which x 2  y2  z2  100 is

Ans. (7)
Sol. Given 3x  y  z  0
– 3x + 2y + z = 0
and – 3x + z = 0
On adding Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get y = 0
So, 3x = z
Now, x 2  y 2  z 2  100

 x 2   3x   0  100
 10x 2  100

Integrating both sides with respect to x, we get

Ans. (D)
Sol. A  a 2  bc, a,b,c {0,1, 2,.....,p  1}
If A is symmetric then b = c
A  a 2  b2
 (a  b)(a  b)
(a  b)(a  b) is divisible by p if a  b  0 or a  b  0
a = b has p options
a  b  p has (p 1) options so total no. of A is 2p  1
If A is skew sym. then

a = 0, b + c = 0
A  0  bc  b2
b 2 is div. by p if b = 0
In this case a = b = c = 0 which is already counted in symmetric
So total no .of A such that A is div. by p and A symmetric or skew symmetric is 2p  1

Ans. (1)
Sol. Given f(x) = ln(g(x))
⇒ g(x) = ef(x)
⇒ g'(x) = ef(x) .f '(x)
For local max or min, g'(x) = 0 gives
⇒ ef(x) .f '(x) = 0
⇒ f '(x) = 0
⇒ f '(x) = 2010(x – 2009)(x – 2010)2 . (x – 2011)3 (x – 2012)4 = 0

17. The number of distinct real roots is x4 – 4x3 + 12x2 + x – 1 = 0 is

Ans. (2)
Sol. Let f(x) = x4 – 4x3 + 12x2 + x – 1
Let , , , d are the root of equation.
= –1 so the equation has at least two real roots. …..(i)
f (x) = 4x3 – 12x2 + 24x + 1
f (x) = 12x2 – 24x + 24 = 12((x + 1)2 + 1)
so f (x) > 0 so f (x) = 0 has only one real roots so f (x) = 0 has at most two real roots. ….(ii)
from (i) & (ii)
f(x) = 0 has exactly two real roots.

Sol. B
'5' balls to be distributed among '3'.
Total number of distribution possible
= 3 × 3 × .... 5 times = 35.
Of these distributions, there are cases when one person does not get any ball.
Number of such cases = 3C1 × (25 – 2) = 90
Also, there are cases when one gets all.
Number of such cases = 3C1 = 3
So, distributions such that each gets at least 1 is 35 – 90 – 3 = 243 – 93 = 150

For Statement P :
f(x) + 2x = 2(1 + x2) ....(1)
2 2 2 2
(1 – x) sin x + x + 2x = 2 + 2x
(1 – x)2 sin2 x + x2 – 2x +1= 2(x – 1)2 + 1
(1 – x)2 (sin2 x – 1) = 1
–(1 – x)2 cos2 x = 1
(1 – x)2 · cos2 x = –1
So, equation (1) will not have real solution. Therefore, P is wrong. Fo statement Q :

1. A computer producing factory has only two plants T1 and T2 . Plant T1 produces 20% and plant T2 produces
80% of the total computers produced. 7% of computers produced in the factory turn out to be defective.
It is known that
P (computer turns out to be defective given that it is produced in plant T1)
= 10 P (computer turns out to be defective given that it is produced in plant T2),
where P(E) denotes the probability of an event E. A computer produced in the factory is randomly selected
and it does not turn out to be defective. Then the probability that it is produced in plant T2 is

correct option.
Zero Marks : 0 If none of the options is chosen (i.e. the question is unanswered).
Negative Marks : .... In all other cases.
• For Example: If first, third and fourth are the ONLY three correct options for a question with second
option being an incorrect option; selecting only all the three correct options will result in +4 marks.
Selecting only two of the three correct options (e.g. the first and fourth options), without selecting any
incorrect option (second option in this case), will result in +2 marks. Selecting only one of the three
correct options (either first or third or fourth option) ,without selecting any incorrect option (second
option in this case), will result in +1 marks. Selecting any incorrect option(s) (second option in this case),
with or without selection of any correct option(s) will result in .2 marks.

(C) –x + 2y – 5z = b1, 2x – 4y + 10z = b2 and x – 2y + 5z = b3
(D) x + 2y + 5z = b1, 2x + 3z = b2 and x + 4y – 5z = b3
Sol. A,C,D
We find D = 0 & since no pair of planes are parallel, so there are infinite number of solutions.
Let P1 + P2 = P3
 P1 + 7P2 = 13P3
 b1 + 7b2 = 13b3
(A) D  0  unique solution for any b1, b2, b3
(B) D = 0 but P1 + 7P2  13P3
(C) D = 0 Also b2 = – 2b1, b3 = – b1
Satisfies b1 + 7b2 = 13b3 (Actually all three planes are co-incident)

13. Five persons A,B,C,D and E are seated in a circular arrangement. If each of them is given a hat of one of
the three colours red, blue and green, then the number of ways of distributing the hats such that the
persons seated in adjacent seats get different coloured hats is_____
Sol. (30.00)
Maximum number of hats used the same colour are 2. They cannot be 3 otherwise atleast 2 hats of
same colour are consecutive.
Now, Let hats used are R, R, G, G, B
(Which can be selected in 3 ways. It can be RGGBB or RRGBB also)
Now, numbers of ways of disturbing blue hat (single one) in 5 person equal to 5
Let blue hat goes to person A.
Now, either position B & D are filled by green hats and C & E are filled by Rads hats or B & D are
filled by Red hats and C & E are filled by Green hats
 2 ways are possible
Hence total number of ways=3×5×2=30ways

(C) EFG = GEF (D) (I – FE) (I – FGE) = I
Ans. (A,B,C)
Topic (Matrix)
Sol. |I – EF|  0 ; G = (I – EF)–1 G–1 = I – EF
Now, G.G–1 = I = G–1 G
 G (I – EF) = I = (I – EF) G
 G – GEF = I = G – EFG
 GEF = EFG [C is Correct]
(I – FE) (I + FGE) = I + FGE – FE – FEFGE
= I + FGE – FE – F (G – I) E
= I + FGE – FE – FGE + FE
= I [(B) is Correct]
(So 'D' is Incorrect)
We have
(I – FE) (I +FGE) = I …..(1)
Now
FE(I + FGE)
= FE + FEFGE
= FE + F(G – I)E
= FE + FGE – FE
= FGE
  |FE| |I + FGE| = |FGE|

| I – FE |

 This section contains SIX (06) questions.

 Each question has FOUR options (A), (B), (C) and (D). ONE OR MORE THAN
ONE of these four option(s) is (are) correct answer(s).
 For each question, choose the option(s) corresponding to (all) the correct answer(s).
 Answer to each question will be evaluated according to the following marking
scheme:
Full Marks : +4 If only (all) the correct option(s) is(are) chosen;
Partial Marks : +3 If all the four options are correct but ONLY three
options are chosen;
Partial Marks : +2 If three or more options are correct but ONLY two
options are chosen, both of which are correct;
Partial Marks : +1 If two or more options are correct but ONLY one option
is chosen and it is a correct option;
Zero Marks : 0 If unanswered;
 For example, in a question, if (A), (B) and (D) are the ONLY three options corresponding
to correct answers, then
choosing ONLY (A), (B) and (D) will get +4 marks;
choosing ONLY (A) and (B) will get +2 marks;
choosing ONLY (A) and (D) will get +2 marks;
choosing ONLY (B) and (D) will get +2 marks;
choosing ONLY (A) will get +1 mark;
choosing ONLY (B) will get +1 mark;
choosing ONLY (D) will get +1 mark;
choosing no option(s) (i.e. the question is unanswered) will get 0 marks and
choosing any other option(s) will get −2 marks.
1. Let
S1 = {(i, j, k) : i, j, k  {1, 2,.,10}}
S2 = {(i, j) : 1  i < j + 2  10, i, j {1, 2,.,10}},
S3 = {(i, j, k, l) : 1  i < j < k < l, i, j, k, l  {1, 2,..,10}}.
and
S4 = {(i, j, k, l) : i, j, k and l are distinct elements in {1, 2,.,10}}.
If the total number of elements in the set Sr is nr, r = 1, 2, 3, 4, then which of the following
statements is (are) TRUE?
n
(A) n1 = 1000 (B) n2 = 44 (C) n3 = 220 (D) 4 = 420
12
Ans. (A,B,D)
Topic (PNC)
Sol. (A) n1 = 10 × 10 × 10 = 1000
(B) As per given condition 1 i < j + 2  10  j  8 & i  1
for i = 1, 2, j = 1, 2, 3, ..., 8  (8 + 8) possibilities
for i = 3, j = 2, 3, ..., 8  7 possibilities
for i = 4, j = 3, ..., 8  6 possibilities
for i = 9, j = 1  1 possibility
So n 2 = (1 + 2 + 3 + .....+ 8) + 8 = 44
(C) n 3 = 10C4 (Choose any four)
= 210
(D) n 4 = 10C4. 4! = (210) (24)
n
 4 = 420
12
So correct Ans. (A), (B), (D)
2. Consider a triangle PQR having sides of lengths p, q and r opposite to the angles P, Q
and R, respectively. Then which of the following statements is (are) TRUE?

(A) cos P 1  (B) cos R    cos P    cos Q
2qr  pq  pq
qr sin Qsin R p p

(C) 2 (D) If p < q and p < r, then cos Q > and cos R >
p sin P r q
Ans. (A,B)
Topic (SOT)
Sol.
q 2  r 2  p2 q 2  r 2 p2 p2
(A) cos P    1 
2qr 2qr 2qr 2qr
(as p + q  2qr (AM  GM)), so (A) is correct
2 2
(B) (p + q) cos R  (q  r) cos P + (p  r) cosQ

 (p cos R + r cos P) + (q cos R + r cos Q)  qcosP + p cos Q
q+pr
So (B) is correct
q  r sin Q  sin R 2 sin Q  sin R

(C)   so (C) is incorrect
p sin P sin P
p
(D) cos Q   sinR cosQ > sinP
r
 sinP + sin (R  Q) > 2 sinP
 sin (R  Q) > sinP
need not necessarily hold true if R < Q
M : 2 of (D)
p
cos Q 
r
p  r cos Q …(i)
p
cos R 
q
p  q cos R …(ii)
Add (i) and (ii), we get
2P  r cos Q  q cos R
2p  p
It is not possible so, (D) option is wrong.
Hence (A), (B)

So, alternate circles do not intersect each other i.e., C1 ,C3 ,C5 ,C7 ,C9 do not
intersect each other as well as C2 ,C4 ,C6 ,C8 and C10 do not intersect each other
hence maximum of 5 set of circles do not intersect each other.

14. Number of divisors of the form 4n  2  n  0  of the integer 240 is:

Sol. We can write 240 as 2 4  31  51

But we want divisors of the form 4n+2

That is, we want even divisors of the form 2(2n+1) and n ⩾ 0

So, the divisors are 2, 6, 10 and 30
