C


Question 5.


If ω is a cube root of unity and Δ = 12ωωω2, then Δ2 is equal to


  1.     ω
  2.     ω2
  3.     1
  4.     ω
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> ω
:
D
Since Δ = ω22ω2 = ω2. Therefore Δ2 = ω4 = ω.
Question 6.


If Δ1 = 10ab and Δ2 = 10cd, then Δ2Δ1 is equal to


  1.     ac
  2.     bd
  3.     (b  a)(d  c)
  4.     abc
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> bd
:
B
Δ2Δ1 = 10cd 10ab = 10c+adbd = bd.

then B2C2B3C3 =


  1.     a1Δ
  2.     a1a3Δ
  3.     (a1+b1)Δ
  4.     None of these

Question 8.


If the system of linear equation x+2ay+az = 0, x+3by+bz = 0, x+4cy+cz = 0 has a non zero solution, then a, b, c


  1.     Are in A.P.
  2.     Are in G. P.
  3.     Are in H. P.
  4.     Satisfy a +2b + 3c = 0
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Are in H. P.
:
C

12aa13bb14cc
 = 0,     [C2  C22C3]
 
10a1bb12cc
 = 0,     [R3  R3R2, R2  R2R1]
 
10a0bba02cbcb
 = 0 ; b(cb)(ba)(2cb) = 0

On simplification, 2b = 1a+1c
a, b, c are in Harmonic progression.

C21 = (1)2+1(18+21) = 39C22 = (1)2+2(15+12) = 27C23 = (1)2+3(35+24) = 11 .
Question 10.


The system of equations x + y + z =2, 3x  y + 2z =6 and 3x + y + z =18 has


  1.     A unique solution
  2.     No solutions
  3.     An infinite number of solutions
  4.     Zero solution as the only solution
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> A unique solution
:
A
Given system of equation can be written as 111312311xyz = 2618
On solving the above system we get the unique solution x = -10, y = -4, z = 16.
