MCQ
Equation $x^3 + 8y^3 + 24xy = 64$ represents 
  • A
    Three straight lines
  • B
    One straight line and one circle
  • One straight line and one point
  • D
    Two straight lines and one point

Answer

Correct option: C.
One straight line and one point
c
$(x)^{3}+(2 y)^{3}+(-4)^{3}=3(x)(2 y)(-4)$

$\Rightarrow \quad x=2 y=-4 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x=-4, y=-2$

i.e. a point $(-4,-2)$

or $x+2 y-4=0$ i.e. a line

Let $S=\{1,2,3, \ldots \ldots, n\}$ and $A=\{(a, b) \mid 1 \leq$ $a, b \leq n\}=S \times S$. A subset $B$ of $A$ is said to be a good subset if $(x, x) \in B$ for every $x \in S$. Then, the number of good subsets of $A$ is
A student was asked to prove a statement $p(n)$ by induction. He proved $p(K + 1)$ is true whenever $p(k)$ is true for all $\text{k}>5\in\text{N}$ and also $p(5)$ is true. On the basis of this he could conclude that $p(n)$ is true.

If $OA$ and $OB$ be the tangents to the circle ${x^2} + {y^2} - 6x - 8y + 21 = 0$ drawn from the origin $O$, then $AB =$
Two tangents are drawn from a point $P$ to the circle $x^{2}+y^{2}-2 x-4 y+4=0$, such that the angle between these tangents is $\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{12}{5}\right)$, where $\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{12}{5}\right) \in(0, \pi)$. If the centre of the circle is denoted by $C$ and these tangents touch the circle at points $A$ and $B$, then the ratio of the areas of $\Delta PAB$ and $\Delta CAB$ is :
