dndxn[Δ(x)]=


dndxnxndndxnsinxdndxncosxn!sin(nπ2)cos(nπ2)aa2a3


=


n!sin(x+nπ2)cos(x+nπ2)n!sin(nπ2)cos(nπ2)aa2a3


[Δn(x)]x=0=

Question 12. If pλ4+qλ3+rλ+5λ+t=
λ2+3λλ1λ+3λ+12λλ4λ3λ+43λ
, the value of t is
  1.    16
  2.    18
  3.    17
  4.    19
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 18
:
B
Since it is an identity in λ so satisfied by every value of
λ. Now put λ=0in the given equation, we have
t=
013124340
=12+30=18
.

=
  1.    -2abc
  2.    abc
  3.    0
  4.    a2+b2+c2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 0
:
C

0aba0cbc0
=0
(Since value of determinant of skew-symmetric matrix of odd orders is 0).
Question 16. The value of the determinant  


loga(xy)loga(yz)loga(zx)logb(yz)logb(zx)logb(xy)logc(zx)logc(xy)logc(yz)


is 
  1.    1
  2.    -1
  3.    logcxyz
  4.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> None of these
:
D
Applying C1C1+C2+C3
Then,


0loga(yz)loga(zx)0logb(zx)logb(xy)0logc(xy)logc(yz)


=0
Question 17. If f(x)=

1xx+12xx(x1)x(x+1)3x(x1)x(x1)(x2)x(x21)

, then f(200) is equal to 
  1.    1
  2.    0
  3.    200
  4.    -200
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 0
:
B
f(X)=x(x+1)
1112xx1x3x(x1)(x1)(x2)x(x1)
=x(x+1)(x1)
1112xx1x3xx2x

Applying C2C2C1 and C3C3C1 then
f(x)=x(x+1)(x1)
1002xx1x3x2x22x
=x2(x+1)2(x1)
1002x113x22
=0
f(200)=0

Question 18. x + ky  z = 0, 3x  ky z = 0 and x  3y + z = 0 has non-zero solution for k = 
  1.    -1
  2.    0
  3.    1
  4.    2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 1
:
C
It has a non-zero solution if

1k13k1131
=06k+6=0k=1.
Question 19. The number of values of k for which the system of equations (k+1)x + 8y = 4k, kx + (k+3)y = 3k1 has infinitely many solutions, is
  1.    0
  2.    1
  3.    2
  4.    Infinite
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 1
:
B
For infinitely many solutions, the two equations must be identical
k+1k=8k+3=4k3k1(k+1)(k+3)=8k and 8(3k-1) = 4k(k+3)
k24k+3=0 and k23k+2=0.
By cross multiplication, k28+9=k32=13+4
k2=1 and k=1 ; k=1.
Question 20. If a, b, c are sides of a triangle and

a2b2c2(a+1)2(b+1)2(c+1)2(a1)2(b1)2(c1)2

=0
, then 
  1.    ΔABC s an equilateral triangle
  2.    ΔABC is right angled isosceles triangle
  3.    ΔABC is an isosceles triangle
  4.    ΔABC None of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> ΔABC is an isosceles triangle
:
C
Δ=

a2b2c2(a+1)2(b+1)2(c+1)2(a1)2(b1)2(c1)2


Applying R2R2R3
=4

a2b2c2abc(a1)2(b1)2(c1)2


Applying R3R3R1+2R2
Δ=4
a2b2c2abc111
=4(ab)(bc)(ca)=0

If a – b = 0 or b – c = 0 or c – a = 0
a = b or b = c or c = a
ΔABC is an isosceles triangle.
