Long time after 'S' is placed at 1, current through inductor is  = . Thus, P.d. across R is VR = E. When S is
R
moved to '2' current in L can't change suddenly. So drop across R remains same, capacitor uncharged, emf
induced in inductor = E. When left in position '2' the circuit will lose all its energy. There is no current after 'S'
is moved to 3.

11. How many isomers are possible for the complex, [Cr(NH3)4ClBr]Br ?

12. One mole of He is mixed with 2 mole of Ne, both at the same temperature and pressure. Determine S for the
process in J/K in nearest possible integers, if the total volume remain constant.
log 3 = 0.48 ; log 2 = 0.3
Ans. (16)
Sol. Both the gases before mixing are at the same temperature and pressure. Since the amount of neon is twice
as that of helium, it is obvious that
VNe = 2 VHe
Now the volume of gas after mixing will be
Vtotal = VHe + VNe = 3 VHe
Each of the two gases suffer entropy change due to volume change. Thus

 Each question has FOUR options (A), (B), (C) and (D). ONE OR MORE THAN ONE of these four option(s) is(are)
correct
 For each question, click the correct option(s) and save.

Partial Marks : +1 For clicking a bubble corresponding to each correct option, provided NO incorrect option
is clicked.
Zero Marks : 0 If none of the bubbles is clicked.
Negative Marks : –2 In all other cases.

1. Let a, b, c  Q+ satisfying a > b > c. Which of the following statement(s) hold true for the quadratic polynomial
f(x) = (a + b – 2c)x2 + (b + c – 2a) x + (c + a – 2b)?
(A) The mouth of the parabola y = f(x) opens upwards
(B) Both roots of the equation f(x) = 0 are rational
(C) x-coordinate of vertex of the graph is positive
(D) Product of the roots is always negative
Ans. (ABC)
Sol. f(x) = Ax2 + Bx + C
A = a + b – 2c = (a – c) + (b – c) > 0
 A>0
Hence, the graph is concave upwards. Also, x = 1 is obvious solution; therefore, both roots are rational.

 B<0
B
 vertex =  0

Hence, abscissa of the vertex is positive. Option (D) need not be correct as with a = 5, b = 4, c = 2, P < 0 and
with a = 6, b = 3, c = 2, P > 0.

2. A skew symmetric matrix A satisfies the relation A 2  I  O, where I is a unit matrix then A is
(A) idempotent (B) orthogonal (C) of even order (D) odd order
Ans. (B, C)
Sol. Since A is skew-symmetric, AT = –A. We have,
A2 + I = O
 A2 = –I or AA = –I
 A(–A) = –I
 AAT = I

 Again, we know that
|A| = |AT| and |kA| = kn|A|
where n is the order of A. Now,
AT = (–1)n × A
 |AT| = (1)n |A|
 [1 – (–1)n] |A| = 0
Hence either |A| = 0 or 1 – (–1)n = 0, i.e., n is even. But
A2 = O – I = –I
 |A|2 = (–1)n | I | = (–1)n  0
Hence, the only possibility is that A is of even order.

(A) a = –3, b = 0 (B) a = 2, b = 1 (C) a = 2, b = 0 (D) a = –3, b = 1
Ans. (A,B)
Sol. f(x) is continuous for all x if it is continuous at x = 1, for which |1| – 3 = |1 – 2| + a or a = –3.
g(x) is continuous for all x if it is continuous at x = 2, for which 2 – |2| = sgn(2) – b = 1 – b or b = 1.
Thus, f(x) + g(x) is continuous for all x if a = –3, b = 1.
Hence, f(x) is discontinuous at exactly one point for options (1) and (2).

4. Let f(x) be a differentiable function and f(a) = f(b) = 0 ( < ), then in the interval (a, b),
(A) f(x) + f(x) = 0 has at least one root (B) f(x) – f(x) = 0 has at least one real root
(C) f(x) × f(x) = 0 has at least one real root (D) none of these
Ans. (A,B,C)
Sol. Consider g(x) = exf(x).
Then g(a) = g(b).
Using Rolle's theorem, there exists at least one c e ia, b) for which
g'(c) = 0
or ecf(c) + ecf(c) = 0 or f(ic) + f(c) = 0
Thus, f(x) + f(x) = 0 has at least one root in (a, b).
Consider g(x) = e–x f(x). Then g(a) = g(b).
Using Rolle's: theorem, there exists at least one c  (a, b) for which
g(c) = b
or –e–cf(c) + ecf(c) = 0 or –f(c) + f(c) = 0
Thus, f'(x) – f(x) 0 has at least one root in (a, b).

Now, consider g(x) = (f(x))2.

Then g(a) = g(b).
Using Rolle's theorem, there exists at least one c  (a, b) for which
g'(c) = 0
or 2f(c) f(c) = 0 or f(c) f(c) = 0
Thus, f(x) f(x) = 0 has at least one root in (a, b).

By Cramer’s rule, if   0, i.e., p  2 and q  3 , the system has a unique solution.

If p =2 or q = 3,   0 , then if  x   y   z  0 , the system has infinite solutions and if any one of

13. A drawer contains a mixture of red socks and blue socks, at most 17 in all. It so happens that when two socks
are selected randomly without replacement, there is a probability of exactly 1/2 that both are red or both are
blue. The largest possible number of red socks in the drawer that is consistent with this data is.

 2x2 – 2x + 2y2 – 2y = x2 + 2xy + y2 – x – y.

 x2 – 2xy + y2 = x + y
 (x – y)2 = x + y
 |x – y| = (x + y)1/2
Since x + y  11, x – y  17
As x – y must be an integer  x – y = 4
 x + y = 16
Solving, we get x = 7.
