MCQ 21 Mark
If z is any complex number, then $\frac{z-\bar{z}}{2 i}$ is
  • A
    either 0 or purely imaginary
  • B
    purely imaginary
  • C
    purely real
  • D
    either 0 or purely real
Answer
(c) purely real
Explanation: Let $z = x + i y$
Then $\bar{z}= x - iy$
$\therefore z-\overline{z}=(x+iy)-(x-iy)=2 iy$
Now $\frac{z-\bar{z}}{2 i}=y$
Hence $\frac{z-\bar{z}}{2 i}$ is purely real.

MCQ 31 Mark
$\cos \theta+\sin \left(270^{\circ}+\theta\right)-\sin \left(270^{\circ}-\theta\right)+\cos \left(180^{\circ}+\theta\right)$ is equal to
  • A
    $2 \cos \theta$
  • B
    $0$
  • C
    $2 \sin \theta$

MCQ 51 Mark
The solution set for $(x + 3) + 4 > -2x + 5:$
  • A
    $(-\infty, 2)$
  • $\left(\frac{-2}{3}, \infty\right)$
  • C
    $(-\infty,-2)$
  • D
    $(2, \infty)$
Answer

$(x+3)+4>-2 x+5$
$\Rightarrow x +7>-2 x +5$
$\Rightarrow x +7+2 x >-2 x +5+2 x$
$\Rightarrow 3 x +7>5$
$\Rightarrow 3 x +7-7>5-7$
$\Rightarrow 3 x >-2$
$\Rightarrow x >\frac{-2}{3}$
$\Rightarrow x \in\left(\frac{-2}{3}, \infty\right)$

MCQ 71 Mark
If $a , b , c$ are in $GP$ and $a^{\frac{1}{z}}=b^{\frac{1}{y}}=c^{\frac{1}{3}}$ then $x , y , z$ are in
  • A
    $GP$
  • $AP$
  • C
    $H.M.$
  • D
    $HP$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$AP$
Let $a^{\frac{1}{x}}=b^{\frac{1}{ y }}=c^{\frac{1}{z}}=k$ Then, $a = k ^{ x }, b = k ^{ y }$ and $c = k ^{ z }$.
Since, $a, b, c$ are in $GP$
$\Rightarrow b^2=a c$
$\Rightarrow\left(k^y\right)^2=\left(k^x \times k^z\right)$
$\Rightarrow k^{2 y}=k^{( x + z )}$
$\Rightarrow 2 y = x + z$
$\Rightarrow x , y , z$ are in $AP.$

$\operatorname{cosec}\left(-1110^{\circ}\right)=?$
  • $-2$
  • B
    $\frac{-2}{\sqrt{3}}$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$-2$
$180^{\circ}=\pi^c$
$\Rightarrow 1110^{\circ}=\left(\frac{\pi}{180} \times 1110\right)^c=\left(\frac{37 \pi}{6}\right)^c$
$\therefore \operatorname{cosec}\left(-1110^{\circ}\right)=-\operatorname{cosec} 1110^{\circ}=-\operatorname{cosec} \frac{37 \pi}{6}$
$=-\operatorname{cosec}\left(6 \pi+\frac{\pi}{6}\right)$
$=-\operatorname{cosec} \frac{\pi}{6}$
$=-2$
$[\because \operatorname{cosec}(2 n \pi+\theta)=\operatorname{cosec} \theta]$

The minimum value of $\sin x + \cos x$ is
  • A
    $-2 \sqrt{2}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{2}$
  • C
    $0$
  • $-\sqrt{2}$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$-\sqrt{2}$
Let $f(x)=\sin x+\cos x$
$\therefore f^{\prime}(x)=\cos x-\sin x$
$\Rightarrow f^{\prime \prime}(x)=-\sin x-\cos x$
Now, $f^{\prime}(x)=0$
$\Rightarrow \cos x-\sin x=0$
$\Rightarrow \sin x=\cos x$
$\Rightarrow \tan x=1$
$\Rightarrow x=n \pi+\frac{\pi}{4}, n \in z $
$\text { At } x=\pi+\frac{\pi}{4}$
$f^{\prime \prime}(x)=-\sin \left(\pi+\frac{\pi}{4}\right)-\cos \left(\pi+\frac{\pi}{4}\right)$
$=\sin \left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)+\cos \left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)$
$=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\sqrt{2}>0$
$\therefore x =\pi+\frac{\pi}{4}$ is point of minimum
Minimum value $=\sin \left(\pi+\frac{\pi}{4}\right)+\cos \left(\pi+\frac{\pi}{4}\right)$
$=-\sin \left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)-\cos \left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)$
$=-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
$=-\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}$
$=-\sqrt{2}$

  • A
    $1$
  • $1 / \sqrt{26}$
  • C
    $4 / \sqrt{26}$
  • D
    $5/ \sqrt{26}$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$1 / \sqrt{26}$
$1 / \sqrt{26}$
Let $z =\frac{1}{(1-i)(2+3 i)}$
$\Rightarrow z=\frac{1}{2+i-3 i^2}$
$\Rightarrow z=\frac{1}{2+i+3}$
$\Rightarrow z=\frac{1}{5+i} \times \frac{5-i}{5-i}$
$\Rightarrow z=\frac{5-i}{25-i^2}$
$\Rightarrow z=\frac{5-i}{25+1}$
$\Rightarrow z=\frac{5-i}{26}$
$\Rightarrow z=\frac{5}{26}-\frac{i}{26}$
$\Rightarrow|z|=\sqrt{\frac{25}{676}+\frac{1}{676}}$
$\Rightarrow z=\frac{1}{\sqrt{26}}$

MCQ 141 Mark
The reflection of the point (4, -13) about the line 5x + y + 6 = 0 is
  • A
    (1, 2)
  • B
    (0, 0)
  • C
    (3, 4)
  • D
    (-1, -14)
Answer
(d) (-1, -14) 
Explanation: Suppose (h, k) be the point of reflection of the given point (4, – 13) about the line 5x + y + 6 = 0. 
The mid-point of the line segment joining points $( h , k )$ and $(4,-13)$ is given by $\frac{h+4}{2}, \frac{k-13}{2}$ 
This point lies on the given line, thus we have $5 \frac{h+4}{2}+\frac{k-13}{2}+6=0$ or $5 h+k+19=0 \ldots$
Again the slope of the line joining points $( h , k )$ and $(4,-13)$ is given by $\frac{k+13}{h-4}$.
This line is perpendicular to the given line and therefore, $(-5) \frac{k+3}{h-4}=-1$
This gives $5 k+65=h-4$ or $h-5 k-69=0 \ldots$
On solving (1) and (2), we obtain $h =-1$ and $k =-14$.
Therefore thethe point $(-1,-14)$ is the reflection of the given point.

MCQ 151 Mark
$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x}{\sqrt{x+1}-\sqrt{1-x}}$ is equal to
  • $1$
  • B
    $0$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $-1$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$1$
Given, $\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x}{\sqrt{x+1}-\sqrt{1-x}}$
$=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x[\sqrt{x+1}+\sqrt{1-x}]}{(\sqrt{x+1}-\sqrt{1-x}) \cdot(\sqrt{x+1}+\sqrt{1-x})}$
$=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x[\sqrt{x+1}+\sqrt{1-x}]}{x+1-1+x}$
$=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x[\sqrt{x+1}+\sqrt{1-x}]}{2 x}$
$=\frac{1}{2} \cdot \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x}{x}[\sqrt{x+1}+\sqrt{1-x}]$
Taking limits, we get
$=\frac{1}{2} \times 1 \times[\sqrt{0+1}+\sqrt{1-0}]$
$=\frac{1}{2} \times 1 \times 2$
$=1$

MCQ 161 Mark
Two dice each numbered from $1$ to $6$ are thrown together.
Let $A$ and $B$ be two events given by 
$A:$ even number on the first die
$B:$ number on the second die is greater than $4 $
What is the value of $P ( A \cup B )$ ?
  • A
    $\frac{1}{4}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{6}$
  • $\frac{2}{3}$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$\frac{2}{3}$
Let $S$ be the sample space. 
$\therefore n ( S )=36$
$A.$ even number on the first die
$B.$ number on the second die is greater that 4
$\therefore n ( A )=18, n ( B )=12$
$ P ( A )=\frac{18}{36}=\frac{1}{2}$ and $P ( B )=\frac{12}{36}=\frac{1}{3}$
$Also , A \cap B =\{(2,5),(2,6),(4,5),(4,6),(6,5),(6,6)\}$
$P ( A \cap B )=\frac{6}{36}=\frac{1}{6}$
$P ( A \cup B )= P ( A )+ P ( B )- P ( A \cap B )$
$=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{6}$
$=\frac{3+2-1}{6}$
$=\frac{4}{6}$
$=\frac{2}{3}$

MCQ 181 Mark
If $\cot \theta=\frac{1}{2}$ and $\sec \phi=\frac{-5}{3}$, where $\theta$ lies in quadrant $III$ and $\phi$ lies in quadrant $II,$ then $\tan (\theta+\phi)=$ ?
  • A
    $\frac{-6}{11}$
  • B
    $\frac{5}{11}$
  • $\frac{2}{11}$
  • D
    $\frac{10}{11}$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\frac{2}{11}$
In quadrant $III, \sin \theta<0, \cos \theta<0$ and $\tan \theta>0$
In quadrant $II, \sin \phi>0, \cos \phi<0$ and $\tan \theta<0$ 
Now, $\cot \theta=\frac{1}{2}$
$\Rightarrow \tan \theta=2$ 
$\sec \phi=\frac{-5}{3}$
$\Rightarrow \cos \phi=\frac{-3}{5}$
$\therefore \sin ^2 \theta=\left(1-\cos ^2 \phi\right)$
$=\left(1-\frac{9}{25}\right)=\frac{16}{25}$
$\Rightarrow \sin \phi=\sqrt{\frac{16}{25}}=\frac{4}{5}$
$\therefore \tan \phi=\left(\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{5}{-3}\right)$
$=\frac{-4}{3}$
$\therefore \tan (\theta+\phi)$
$=\frac{\tan \theta+\tan \phi}{1-\tan \theta \tan \phi}$
$=\frac{\left(2-\frac{4}{3}\right)}{\left\{1-\left(2 \times \frac{-4}{3}\right)\right\}}$
$=\frac{\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)}{\left(1+\frac{8}{3}\right)}$
$=\left(\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{3}{11}\right)$
$=\frac{2}{11}$
