Question 2. The  two curves x33xy2+2=0 and 3x2yy32=0
  1.    Cut at right angles
  2.    Touch each other
  3.    Cut at an angle π/3

Answer: Option A. -> Cut at right angles
:
A
x33xy2+2=0...(1)3x2yy32=0...(2)
On differentiating equations (1) and (2) w.r.t x, we obtain
(dydx)c1=x2y22xyand(dydx)c2=2xyx2y2
Since m1.m2=1.Therefore the two curves cut at right angles.
Hence (a) is the correct answer.
Question 3. A ladder20 ft long has one end on the ground and the other end in contact with a vertical wall. The lower end slips along the ground. If the lower end of the ladder is 16 ft away from the wall, upper end is moving λ  times as fast as the lower end, then λ is

Answer: Option C. -> 43
:
C
Let OC be the wall. Let AB be the position of the ladder at any time t such that OA =x and OB=y. Length of the ladder AB =20 ft.

-ve sign indicates, that when X increases with time, y decreases. Hence, the upper end is moving 43 times as fast as the lower end.
Question 4. The value of (127)1/3 to four decimal places is 
  1.    5.0267
  2.    5.4267
  3.    5.5267
  4.    5.001
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 5.0267
:
A
Let y = x1/3,x=125 and x+Δx=127. Then,
dydx=13x2/3andΔx=0
When, x = 125, we have
y=5anddydx=175
y=dydxΔxΔy175×2=275
(127)1/3=y+Δy=5+275=5+83×1100
(127)1/3=5+(2.6667)100=5.02667=5.0267
Hence (a) is the correct answer.
Question 5. Let f (x) = sinx + ax + b. Then f(x) = 0 has
  1.    only  one  real root which is  positive if a > 1, b 
  2.    only  one  real root which is negative if a > 1, b 
  3.    only one real root which is negative if a  0
  4.    CAN'T SAY ANYTHING
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> only  one  real root which is  positive if a > 1, b 
:
A
f'(x) = - cosx + a, if a > 1,then f(x) entirely increasing. So f(x) =0 has only one real root, which is positive if f(0) < 0 and negative if f(0) > 0.
Similarly when a < -1. Then f(x) entirely decreasing. So f(x) has only one real root which is negative if f(0) < 0 and positive if f(0) > 0

Question 7. The equation x log x = 3 - x has, in the interval (1, 3),
  1.    Exactly one root
  2.    Atmost one root
  3.    Atleast one root
  4.    No root
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Atleast one root
:
C
Let f (x) = (x - 3) log x
Then, f (1) = - 2 log 1 = 0 and f (3) = (3-3) log 3 = 0. As, (x-3) and log x are continuos and differentiable in [1, 3], therefore (x-3) log x = f (x) is also continuos and differentiable in [1, 3]. Hence, by Rolle's theorem, there exists a value of x in (1, 3) such that
f ' (x) = 0 log x+(x-3) 1x= 0
x log x = 3 - x.
Hence (c) is the correct answer.
Question 8. Let f(x) = {1 + sin x, x < 0x2  x + 1, x  0. Then
  1.    f has a local maximum at x = 0
  2.    f has a local minimum at x = 0
  3.    f is increasing every where
  4.    f is decreasing everywhere
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> f has a local maximum at x = 0
:
A
f is continuous at ‘0’ and f'(0-) > 0 and f'( 0 +) < 0 . Thus f has a local maximum at ‘0’.
Question 9. The  two curves x33xy2+2=0 and 3x2yy32=0
  1.    Cut at right angles
  2.    Touch each other
  3.    Cut at an angle π/3
  4.    Cut at an angle π/4
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Cut at right angles
:
A
x33xy2+2=0...(1)3x2yy32=0...(2)
On differentiating equations (1) and (2) w.r.t x, we obtain
(dydx)c1=x2y22xyand(dydx)c2=2xyx2y2
Since m1.m2=1.Therefore the two curves cut at right angles.
Hence (a) is the correct answer.
Question 10. Let S be the set of real values of parameter λ  for which the equation f(x) = 2x3  3(2+λ)x2 + 12λ x has exactly one local maximum and exactly one local minimum. Then S is a subset of
  1.    (−4, ∞)
  2.    (−3, 3)
  3.    (3, ∞)
  4.    R
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> (3, ∞)
:
C
f(x)=2x33(2+λ)x2+12λxf(x)=6x26(2+λ)x+12λf(x)=0x=2,λ
If f(x) has exactly one local maximum and exactly one local minimum, then λ2.
