2.(B) Initial velocity,
u = 17 m / s
Acceleration, a = – 2 m / s 2
Since the particle is continuously experiencing retardations, let the time at which its velocity becomes
zero is ‘t’
Using v = u + at
0 = 17 – 2t
t = 8.5 s
Distance covered by particle in 9th second = AB + BC
Velocity of particle at A,
vA = 17 – 2 (8) ; vA = 1 m / s
vB2 − v A2 0 − (1)2 1
Distance AB, s AB = = = = 0.25m

vC2 − vB2 (1)2 − 0 1
Distance BC, sBC = = = = 0.25m

Thus, distance covered in 9th second of its motion = 0.25m + 0.25m = 0.5 m

6.(B) Velocity of particle,  = =b x,

Direction of particle's velocity = along +x axis,
At t = 0, position of particle is at the origin (x = 0).
Speed of particle at t = .

Acceleration of particle: a = = = b x= .

As acceleration is constant, velocity at t =  , will be () = u + a

So total number of solutions = 2.
14.(C) tan  + tan 2 + 3 tan  tan 2 = 3  tan  + tan 2 = 3(1 − tan  tan 2)
tan  + tan 2   n  

15.(B) − 7 2 + 52  (7 cos x + 5sin x)  7 2 + 52

So, for solution − 74  (2k + 1)  74 or −8.6  2k + 1  8.6 or −9.6  2k  7.6
or −4.8  k  3.8 .
So, integral values of k are −4, − 3, − 2, − 1, 0,1, 2,3 (eight values)

Sum of the roots = 0  p + q − 2r = 0  p + q + r = 3r

18.(C) Since, (1 − p ) is a root of quadratic equation x 2 + px + (1 − p ) = 0

So, (1 − p ) satisfied the above equation (1 − p )2 + p (1 − p ) + (1 − p ) = 0

 (1 − p )(1 − p + p + 1) = 0  (1 − p ) 2 = 0  p = 1
19.(C) p (0) = 1
p ( x ) leave remainder 4 when divided by ( x − 1)
 p (1) = 4
Similarly, p ( −1) = 6

p ( 0) = 1  c = 1
p (1) = a + b + 1 = 4
( −1) = a − b + 1 = 6  a = 4, b = −1

p ( x ) = 4x2 − x + 1
p ( 2) = 4  4 − 2 + 1 = 15
p ( −2) = 16 + 2 + 1 = 19

Now,  −  = ( + )2 − 4   −  = a2 − 4

According to given condition a 2 − 4  5  a 2 − 4  5  a 2  9  a  3  a  (−3,3) …(i)

2.(20) Here the equation is x 2 − ( a + 10 ) x + 10a + 1 = 0 . Since integral roots will always be rational it
means D should be a perfect square.
From (i) D = a 2 − 20a + 96 .
D = ( a − 10) − 4  4 = ( a − 10) − D
2 2

If D is a perfect square it means we want difference of two perfect square as 4 which is possible only
when ( a − 10) = 4 and D = 0

 ( a −10) = 2  a = 12,8
