MCQ 21 Mark
If $\frac{3+2 \sin \theta}{1-2 \sin \theta}$ is a real number and $0<\theta<2 \pi$, then $\theta=$
  • A
    $\frac{\pi}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{\pi}{2}$
  • $\pi$
  • D
    $\frac{\pi}{6}$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\pi$
Given:
$\frac{3+2 i \sin \theta}{1-2 i \sin \theta}$ is a real number
On rationalising,
we get, $3+2 i \sin \theta$
$1-2 i \sin \theta \times 1+2 i \sin \theta$
$1+2 i \sin \theta$
$=\frac{(3+2 i \sin \theta)(1+2 i \sin \theta)}{(1)^2-(2 i \sin \theta)^2}$
$=\frac{3+2 i \sin \theta+6 i \sin \theta+4 i^2 \sin ^2 \theta}{1+4 \sin ^2 \theta}$
$=\frac{3-4 \sin ^2 \theta+8 i \sin \theta}{1+4 \sin ^2 \theta}\left[\because i^2=-1\right]$
$=3-4 \sin ^2 \theta$
$1+4 \sin ^2 \theta+i 8 \sin \theta$
$1+4 \sin ^2 \theta$ For the above term to be real, the imaginary part has to be zero.
$\therefore \frac{8 \sin \theta}{1+4 \sin ^2 \theta}=0$
$\Rightarrow 8 \sin \theta=0$
For this to be zero,
$\sin \theta=0$
$\Rightarrow \theta=0$
$\pi, 2 \pi, 3 \pi \ldots$
But
$0<\theta<2 \pi$
Hence,
$\theta=\pi$

MCQ 31 Mark
If $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are acute angles satisfying $\cos 2 \alpha=\frac{3 \cos 2 \beta-1}{3-\cos 2 \beta}$, then $\alpha$ is
  • A
    $\sqrt{2} \cot \beta$
  • $\sqrt{2} \tan \beta$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \cot \beta$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \tan \beta$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\sqrt{2} \tan \beta$
$\cos 2 \alpha=\frac{3 \cos 2 \beta-1}{3-\cos 2 \beta}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{\cos 2 \alpha-1}{\cos 2 \alpha+1}=\frac{(3 \cos 2 \beta-1)-(3-\cos 2 \beta)}{(3 \cos 2 \beta-1)+(3-\cos 2 \beta)} \text { [Using compounds and dividendo] }$
$\Rightarrow \frac{\cos 2 \alpha-1}{\cos 2 \alpha+1}=\frac{4 \cos 2 \beta-4}{2 \cos 2 \beta+2}$
$\Rightarrow-\frac{1-\cos 2 \alpha}{1+\cos 2 \alpha}=\frac{-4(1-\cos 2 \beta)}{2(1+\cos 2 \beta)}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1-\cos 2 \alpha}{1+\cos 2 \alpha}=\frac{2(1-\cos 2 \beta)}{(1+\cos 2 \beta)}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{2 \sin ^2 \alpha}{2 \cos ^2 \alpha}=\frac{2\left(2 \sin ^2 \beta\right)}{\left(2 \cos ^2 \beta\right)}$
$\Rightarrow \tan ^2 \alpha=2 \tan ^2 \beta$
$\therefore \tan \alpha=\sqrt{2} \tan \beta$

  • A
    $\left[\frac{5}{6}, \frac{2}{3}\right]$
  • B
    $\left[\frac{2}{3}, \frac{2}{3}\right]$
  • $\left[\frac{1}{2}, \frac{5}{6}\right]$
  • D
    $\left[\frac{5}{6}, \frac{1}{2}\right]$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\left[\frac{1}{2}, \frac{5}{6}\right]$
$|3 x-2| \leq \frac{1}{2}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{-1}{2} \leq 3 x-2 \leq \frac{1}{2}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{-1}{2}+2 \leq 3 x-2+2 \leq \frac{1}{2}+2$
$\Rightarrow \frac{3}{2} \leq 3 x \leq \frac{5}{2} \quad[\because|x| \leq a \Leftrightarrow-a \leq x \leq a]$
$\Rightarrow \frac{3}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{3} \leq 3 x \cdot \frac{1}{3} \leq \frac{5}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{3}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} \leq x \leq \frac{5}{6}$
$\Rightarrow x \in\left[\frac{1}{2}, \frac{5}{6}\right]$

MCQ 71 Mark
If $S$ be the sum, $P$ the product and $R$ be the sum of the reciprocals of $n$ terms of a $GP,$ then $P^2$ is equal to
  • A
    $\left(\frac{R}{S}\right)^n$
  • B
    $\frac{S}{R}$
  • C
    $\frac{R}{S}$
  • $\left(\frac{S}{R}\right)^n$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$\left(\frac{S}{R}\right)^n$
$\left(\frac{S}{R}\right)^n$
Explanation: According to the question,
Sum of $n$ terms of the $G.P., S =\frac{a\left(r^n-1\right)}{(r-1)}$
Product of $n$ terms of the $G.P., P = a ^{ n } r \left[\frac{n(n-1)}{2}\right]$
Sum of the reciprocals of $n$ terms of the $G.P., R =\frac{\left[\frac{1}{r^n}-1\right]}{a\left(\frac{1}{r}-1\right)}=\frac{\left(r^n-1\right)}{a r^{(n-1)}(r-1)}$
$\begin{array}{l}\therefore P^2=\left\{a^2 r^{\frac{2(n-1)}{2}}\right\}^n \\ \Rightarrow P^2=\left\{\frac{\frac{a\left(r^n-1\right)}{(r-1)}}{\frac{\left(r^{n-1}\right)}{a r^{(n-1)(r-1)}}}\right\}^n \\ \Rightarrow P^2=\left\{\frac{S}{R}\right\}^n\end{array}$
Sum of n terms, $S =\frac{a\left(r^n-1\right)}{r-1}$
Product of the $G.P., P = a ^{ n } r^{\frac{n(n+1)}{2}}$
Sum of the reciprocals of $n$ terms, $R =\frac{\left(\frac{1}{r^{\infty}-1}\right)}{a\left(\frac{1}{r-1}\right)}=\frac{\left(\frac{1-r^n}{r^n}\right)}{a\left(\frac{1-r}{r}\right)}$
$\begin{array}{l} p ^2=\left\{a^2 r^{\frac{(n+1)}{2}}\right\}^n \\ p ^2=\left\{\begin{array}{l}\frac{a\left(r^{n-1}-1\right)}{r-1} \\ \frac{\left(\frac{1+n}{r^n}\right)}{a\left(\frac{1+}{r}\right)}\end{array}\right\}=\left\{\frac{S}{R}\right\}^n\end{array}$

If $A \subset B$, then
  • A
    $A^e \subset B^e$
  • B
    $B^e \not \subset A^c$
  • C
    $A^c=B^c$
  • $B^c \subset A^c$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$B^c \subset A^c$
Let $A \subset$ B
To prove $B^C \subset A^c$, it is enough to show that $x \in B^c \Rightarrow x \in A^c$
$\text { Let } x \in B^C$
$\Rightarrow x \notin B$
$\Rightarrow x \notin A \text { since } A \subset B$
$\Rightarrow x \in A^c$
Hence $B ^{ C } \subset A ^{ C }$

MCQ 101 Mark
A man wants to cut three lengths from a single piece of board of length $91 \ cm.$ The second length is to be $3 \ cm$ longer than the shortest and third length is to be twice as long as the shortest. What are the possible lengths for the shortest board if the third piece is to be at least $5 \ cm$ longer than the second?
  • A
    $3 \leq x \leq 91$
  • B
    $3 \leq x \leq 5$
  • C
    $5 \leq x \leq 91$
  • $8 \leq x \leq 22$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$8 \leq x \leq 22$
Let the length of the shortest piece be $x \ cm$. Then we have the length of the second and third pieces are $x +3$ and $2 x$ centimeters respectively.
According to the question,
$x+(x+3)+2 x \leq 91$
$\Rightarrow 4 x+3 \leq 91$
$\Rightarrow 4 x \leq 88$
$\Rightarrow x \leq 22$
Also $2 x \geq(x+3)+5$
$\Rightarrow 2 x \geq x+8$
$\Rightarrow x \geq 8$
$\Rightarrow 8 \leq x \leq 22$
Hence the shortest piece may be atleast $8 \ cm$ long but it cannot be more than $22\ cm$ in length.

$R$ is a relation from $\{11,12,13\}$ to $\{8,10,12\}$ defined by $y=x-3$. Then, $R^{-1}$ is
  • A
    {(10,13),(12,10)}
  • B
    {(10,13), (8,11), (12,10)}
  • C
    {(11,8), (13,10)}
  • D
    {(8,11), (10,13)}
Answer
(d) $\{(8,11),(10,13)\}$
Explanation: Since, $y=x-3$
Therefore, for $x=11, y=8$.
For $x =12, y =9$. [ But the value $y =9$ does not exist in the given set.]
For $x=13, y=10$.
So, we have $R =\{(11,8),(13,10)\}$
Now, $R^{-1}=\{(8,11),(10,13)\}$

The coordinates of the foot of perpendiculars from the point $(2,3)$ on the line $y=3 x+4$ is given by
  • A
    $\frac{2}{3},-\frac{1}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{10}{37},-10$
  • C

Answer
Correct option: D.
$\frac{-1}{10}, \frac{37}{10}$
Given equation is $y=3 x+4 \ldots (i)$
Since, this equation is in $y = mx + b$ form.
Thus, the slope $\left(m_1\right)$ of the given equation is $3$
Suppose equation of any line passing through the point $(2,3)$ is
$y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)$
$\Rightarrow y-3=m(x-2) \ldots \text { (ii) }$
Given that eq. $(i)$ is perpendicular to eq. $(ii)$
And we know that, if two lines are perpendicular then,
$m_1 m_2=-1$
$\Rightarrow 3 \times m_2=-1$
$\Rightarrow m_2=-\frac{1}{3}$
$\therefore$ the slope of the required line $=-\frac{1}{3}$
Substituting the value of slope in eq. $(ii),$ we obtain
$y-3=-\frac{1}{3}(x-2)$
$\Rightarrow 3 y-9=-x+2$
$\Rightarrow x+3 y-9-2=0$
$\Rightarrow x+3 y-11=0 \ldots \text { (iii) }$
Now, we have to find the coordinates of foot of the perpendicular.
Solving eq. $(i)$ and $(iii),$ we obtain
$x+3(3 x+4)-11=0[$ from $(i)]$
$\Rightarrow x+9 x+12-11=0$
$\Rightarrow 10 x+1=0$
$\Rightarrow x=-\frac{1}{10}$
Substituting the value of $x$ in Eq $(i),$ we obtain
$y=3\left(-\frac{1}{10}\right)+4$
$\Rightarrow y =-\frac{3}{10}+4$
$\Rightarrow y =\frac{-3+40}{10}$
$\Rightarrow y =\frac{37}{10}$
So, the required coordinates are $\left(-\frac{1}{10}, \frac{37}{10}\right)$
