Question 31. The number of values of x where the  function f(x) = 2 (cos 3x + cos 3x attains its maximum, is
  1.    1
  2.    2
  3.    0
  4.    Infinite
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 1
:
A
We have,
f(x)=2(cos3x+cos3x)=4cos(3+32)xcos(332)x4
and it is equal to 4 when both cos (3+32)xandcos(332)

Are equal to 1 for a value of x. This is possible only when x = 0.
Hence (a) is the correct answer.
Question 32. The point in the interval [0,2π] where f(x)=ex sin x has maximum slope, is
  1.    π4
  2.    π2
  3.    π
  4.    3π2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> π2
:
B
We have, f(x)=ex+cosx+sinxexAndf(x)=sinxex+cosxex+cosxex+sinxcosxex.Now,f(x)=2cosxcosxex=0cosx=0x=π2.Also,f(x)=2sinxex+2cosxex=ve
Slope is maximum at x=π2.

Hence (b) is the correct answer.
Question 33. A function f such that f(a)=f′′(a)=......f2n(a)=0 and f has a local maximum value b at x = a, if f (x) is
  1.    (x−a)2n+2
  2.    b−1−(x+1−a)2n+1
  3.    b−(x−a)2n+2
  4.    (x−a)2n+2−b.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> b−(x−a)2n+2
:
C
For local maximum or local minimum odd derivative must be equal to zero.
For local maxima, even derivative must be negative.
Since maximum value at x = a is b.

f(x)=b(xa)2n+2(f2n+2(a)=ve)
Hence (c) is the correct answer.
Question 34. 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 35. 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 36. Between any two real roots of the equation ex sin x = 1, the equation ex cos x = - 1 has
  1.    Atleast one root
  2.    Exactly one root
  3.    Atmost one root
  4.    No root
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Atleast one root
:
A
Let ,β(<β) be any two real roots of
f(x) = e - x - sin x
Then, f()=0=f(β)
Moreover, f(x) is continuos and differentiable for xε[,β].
Hence, from Rolle's thereom, thereom, there exists atleast one x in ,β such t
f(x)=0excosx=0ex(1+excosx)=0excosx=1.
Hence (a) is the correct answer.
Question 37. If f (x) is differentiable in the interval [2, 5], where f (2)=15 and f (5)=12, then there exists a number c, 2 < c < 5 for which f ' (c) is equal to  
  1.    12
  2.    15
  3.    110
  4.    7
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 110
:
C
As f (x) is differentiable in [2 , 5], therefore, it is also continuos in [2, 5]. Hence, by mean value theorem, there exists a real number c in (2, 5) such that
f(c)=f(5)f(2)52f(c)=12153=110.

Hence (c) is the correct answer.
Question 38. The approximate value of square root of 25.2 is 
  1.    5.01
  2.    5.02
  3.    5.03
  4.    5.04
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 5.02
:
B
Let f (x) = x
Now, f(x+δx)f(x)=f(x).δx=δx2x
We may write, 25.2 = 25 + 0.2
Taking x = 25 and δx=0.2 We have
f(25.2)f(25)=0.2225=0.02f(25.2)=f(25)+0.02=25+0.02=5.02(25.2)=5.02
Question 39. Between any two real roots of the equation ex sin x = 1, the equation ex cos x = - 1 has
  1.    Atleast one root
  2.    Exactly one root
  3.    Atmost one root
  4.    No root

Answer: Option A. -> Atleast one root
:
A
Let ,β(<β) be any two real roots of
f(x) = e - x - sin x
Then, f()=0=f(β)
Moreover, f(x) is continuos and differentiable for xε[,β].
Hence, from Rolle's thereom, thereom, there exists atleast one x in ,β such t
f(x)=0excosx=0ex(1+excosx)=0excosx=1.
Hence (a) is the correct answer.
Question 40. If the function f(x)=2x39ax2+12a2 x+1, where a > 0, attains its maximum and minimum at p and q respectively such that p2=q, then a equals
  1.    3
  2.    1
  3.    2
  4.    12
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 2
:
C
We have, f(x)=2x39ax2+12a2x+1f(x)=6x218ax+12a2=06[x23ax+2a2]=0x23ax+2a2=0x22axax+2a2=0x(x2a)a(x2a)=0(xa)(x2a)=0x=a,x=2a
Now, f(x)=12x18a
f(a)=12a18a=6a<0f(x) will be maximum at x = a
i.e. p = a
Also, f(2a)=24a18a=6af(x)will be minimum at x = 2a
i.e.q = 2a
Given, p2=q
a2=2aa=2.
Hence (c) is the correct answer.
