  1. Mark the Correct alternative in the following: The value of \left(\cot \frac{\pi}{2}-\tan \frac{\pi}{2}\right)^{2}(1-2 \tan x \cot 2 x) is

a) 4

b) 1

c) 5

d) 3

Ans:        (c) 4

Explanation:

Given to find the value of \displaystyle {{\left( {\cot \frac{x}{2}-\tan \frac{x}{2}} \right)}^{2}}\left( {1-2\tan x\cot 2x} \right)

We will solve the expression in two parts,

Now Solving 1st term = \displaystyle {{\left( {\frac{1}{{\tan \frac{x}{2}}}-\tan \frac{x}{2}} \right)}^{2}}

= \displaystyle {{\left( {\frac{{1-{{{\tan }}^{2}}\frac{x}{2}}}{{\tan \frac{x}{2}}}} \right)}^{2}}

               If multiply and divide the term by 2, we get,

               = \displaystyle {{\left( {\frac{{2\left( {1-{{{\tan }}^{2}}\frac{x}{2}} \right)}}{{2\tan \frac{x}{2}}}} \right)}^{2}}

               Using the formula for \displaystyle \cot 2x=\frac{{1-{{{\tan }}^{2}}x}}{{2\tan x}} and \displaystyle \cot x=\frac{1}{{\tan x}}

Solve the 2nd term

\displaystyle \left( {1-2\tan x\cos x} \right)

= \displaystyle 1-2\tan x\left( {\frac{{1-{{{\tan }}^{2}}x}}{{2\tan x}}} \right)

Using the formula \displaystyle \cot 2x=\left( {\frac{{1-{{{\tan }}^{2}}x}}{{2\tan x}}} \right)

\displaystyle 1-2\tan x\cot 2x

 = \displaystyle 1-\left( {1-{{{\tan }}^{2}}x} \right)

= \displaystyle 1-1+{{\tan }^{2}}x

 = \displaystyle {{\tan }^{2}}x

Now combining

\displaystyle {{\left( {\cot \frac{x}{2}-\tan \frac{x}{2}} \right)}^{2}}\left( {1-2\tan x\cot x} \right) = \displaystyle \frac{4}{{{{{\tan }}^{2}}x}}\left( {{{{\tan }}^{2}}x} \right)

= 4

  1. If R is a relation on the set A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9} given by x R y \Leftrightarrow y=3 x, then R =

b) {(3, 1), (6, 2), (9, 3)}

c) {(3, 1), (6, 2), (8, 2), (9, 3)}

d) none of these

Ans (d) none of these

Explanation:

For A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9} the satisfying complete relation is: R={(1,3),(2,6),(3,9)}

  1. A digit is selected at random from either of the two sets {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9} and {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}. What is the chance that the sum of the digits selected is 10?

a) \frac{1}{9}

b) \frac{9}{81}

c) \frac{10}{18}

d) \frac{10}{81}

Ans. (a) \displaystyle \frac{1}{9}

Explanation:

Let A—{1, 2, 3,4,5,6,7, 8, 9} then, n (A  A) = g2

Let B be the event that sum of the digits is 10. Then,

B ={(1,9), (9, 1), (4,6), (6, 4), (8, 2), (2, 8), (7, 3), (3, 7), (5, 5))

Required probability = \displaystyle \frac{{n\left( B \right)}}{{n\left( {A\times A} \right)}}=\frac{9}{{{{9}^{2}}}}=\frac{1}{9}

  1. If y=\frac{1+\frac{1}{x}}{1-\frac{1}{x}}, then \frac{d y}{d x} is equal to

a) \frac{4 x}{\left(x^{2}-1\right)^{2}}

b) \frac{2 x}{\left(x^{2}-1\right)^{2}}

c) \frac{-4 x}{\left(x^{2}-1\right)^{2}}

d) \frac{-2 x}{\left(x^{2}-1\right)^{2}}

Ans (c) \displaystyle \frac{{-4x}}{{{{{\left( {{{x}^{2}}-1} \right)}}^{2}}}}

Explanation:

Given

\displaystyle y=\frac{{1+\frac{1}{{{{x}^{2}}}}}}{{1-\frac{1}{{{{x}^{2}}}}}}

\displaystyle \Rightarrow \displaystyle y=\frac{{{{x}^{2}}+1}}{{{{x}^{2}}-1}}

\displaystyle \therefore \frac{{dy}}{{dx}}=\frac{{\left( {{{x}^{2}}-1} \right).2x-\left( {{{x}^{2}}+1} \right).2x}}{{{{{\left( {{{x}^{2}}-1} \right)}}^{2}}}}

= \displaystyle \frac{{2x\left( {{{x}^{2}}-1-{{x}^{2}}-1} \right)}}{{{{{\left( {{{x}^{2}}-1} \right)}}^{2}}}} = \displaystyle \frac{{2x\left( {-2} \right)}}{{{{{\left( {{{x}^{2}}-1} \right)}}^{2}}}} = \displaystyle \frac{{-4x}}{{{{{\left( {{{x}^{2}}-1} \right)}}^{2}}}}

  1. Given the three straight lines with equations 5 x+4 y=0, x+2 y-10=0 and 2 x+y+5=0, then these lines are

a) the sides of an equilateral triangle

b) the sides of an isosceles triangle

c) the sides of a right angled triangle

d) concurrent

Ans (d) concurrent Explanation:

The lines are said to be concurrent \displaystyle \left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 5 & 4 & 0 \\ 1 & 2 & {-10} \\ 2 & 1 & 5 \end{array}} \right|=0

On expanding we get

     5(10 + 10) – 4(5 + 20) + 0 = 0

Hence the lines are concurrent.
