Let $L_{3}$ be a line passing through the point $(\alpha, \beta, \gamma)$ and be perpendicular to both $\mathrm{L}_{1}$ and $\mathrm{L}_{2}$. If $\mathrm{L}_{3}$ intersects $L_{1}$, then $|5 \alpha-11 \beta-8 \gamma|$ equals :
Answer(C)
Sol. $\quad D R$ 's of $L_{3}=\overrightarrow{\mathrm{m}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{n}}=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}\hat{\mathrm{i}} & \hat{\mathrm{j}} & \hat{\mathrm{k}} \\ 1 & -1 & 2 \\ -1 & 2 & 1\end{array}\right|$
$=-5 \hat{i}-3 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+\hat{\mathrm{k}}$
$L_{3}: \frac{x-\alpha}{-5}=\frac{y-\beta}{-3}=\frac{z-\gamma}{1}=\lambda$
$
\mathrm{A}(\alpha-5 \lambda, \beta-3 \lambda, \gamma+\lambda)
$
$L_{1}: \frac{\mathrm{x}-1}{1}=\frac{\mathrm{y}-2}{-1}=\frac{\mathrm{z}-1}{2}=\mathrm{k}$
$
\mathrm{B}(\mathrm{k}+1,-\mathrm{k}+2,2 \mathrm{k}+1)
$
Now
$
\begin{aligned}
& \alpha-5 \lambda=\mathrm{k}+1 \Rightarrow \alpha=5 \lambda+\mathrm{k}+1 \\
& \beta-3 \lambda=-\mathrm{k}+2 \Rightarrow \beta=3 \lambda-\mathrm{k}+2 \\
& \gamma+\lambda=2 \mathrm{k}+1 \Rightarrow \gamma=-\lambda+2 \mathrm{k}+1 \\
& |5 \alpha-11 \beta-8 \gamma|=|-25| \\
& =25

Consider an A.P. of positive integers, whose sum of the first three terms is 54 and the sum of the first twenty terms lies between 1600 and 1800 . Then its $11^{\text {th }}$ term is :
Answer(C)
Sol. $\mathrm{S}_{3}=3 \mathrm{a}+3 \mathrm{~d}=54$
$\Rightarrow a+d=18$
$\mathrm{S}_{20}=10(2 \mathrm{a}+19 \mathrm{~d})$
$\Rightarrow 10(36+17 \mathrm{~d})$
$\Rightarrow 1600<10(36+17 \mathrm{~d})<1800$
$\Rightarrow 160<36+17 \mathrm{~d}<180$
$\Rightarrow 124<17 \mathrm{~d}<144$
$\Rightarrow 7 \frac{5}{17}<\mathrm{d}<8 \frac{8}{17}$
Common difference will be natural number
$\Rightarrow d=8 \Rightarrow a=10$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{a}_{11}=10+10 \times 8=90$

Define a relation R on the interval $\left[0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$ by $\mathrm{x} \mathrm{R} y$ if and only if $\sec ^{2} x-\tan ^{2} y=1$. Then $R$ is :
- ✓
- B
both reflexive and transitive but not symmetric
- C
both reflexive and symmetric but not transitive
- D
reflexive but neither symmetric not transitive
Answer(A)
Sol. $\sec ^{2} x-\tan ^{2} x=1 \quad$ (on replacing $y$ with $x$ )
$\Rightarrow$ Reflexive
$\sec ^{2} x-\tan ^{2} y=1$
$\Rightarrow 1+\tan ^{2} \mathrm{x}+1-\sec ^{2} \mathrm{y}=1$
$\Rightarrow \sec ^{2} y-\tan ^{2} x=1$
$\Rightarrow$ symmetric
$\sec ^{2} x-\tan ^{2} y=1$,
$\sec ^{2} y-\tan ^{2} z=1$
Adding both
$\Rightarrow \sec ^{2} x-\tan ^{2} y+\sec ^{2} y-\tan ^{2} z=1+1$
$\sec ^{2} x+1-\tan ^{2} z=2$
$\sec ^{2} x-\tan ^{2} z=1$
$\Rightarrow$ Transitive
hence equivalence relation

Sol. $\cos x(\ln (\cos x))^{2} d y+(\sin x-3 y(\sin x) \ln (\cos x)) d x=0$
$
\begin{aligned}
& \cos x(\ln (\cos x))^{2} \frac{d y}{d x}-3 \sin x \cdot \ln (\cos x) y=-\sin x \\
& \frac{d y}{d x}-\frac{3 \tan x}{\ln (\cos x)} y=\frac{-\tan x}{(\ln (\cos x))^{2}} \\
& \frac{d y}{d x}+\frac{3 \tan x}{\ln (\sec x)} y=\frac{-\tan x}{(\ln (\sec x))^{2}} \\
& \text { I.F. }=e^{\int \frac{3 \tan x}{\ln (\sec x)} d x}=(\ln (\sec x))^{3}
\end{aligned}
$
$
\mathrm{y} \times(\ln (\sec \mathrm{x}))^{3}=-\int \frac{\tan \mathrm{x}}{(\ln (\sec \mathrm{x}))^{2}}(\ln (\sec \mathrm{x}))^{3} \mathrm{dx}
$
$
y \times(\ln (\sec x))^{3}=-\frac{1}{2}(\ln (\sec x))^{2}+C
$
$
\text { Given : } \mathrm{x}=\frac{\pi}{4}, \mathrm{y}=-\frac{1}{\ln 2}
$
$
\frac{-1}{\ln 2} \times(\ln \sqrt{2})^{3}=-\frac{1}{2} \times(\ln \sqrt{2})^{2}+\mathrm{C}
$
$
\Rightarrow \frac{-1}{8 \ln 2} \times(\ln 2)^{3}=\frac{-1}{2} \times \frac{1}{4}(\ln 2)^{2}+\mathrm{C}
$
$
-\frac{1}{8}(\ln 2)^{2}=\frac{-1}{8}(\ln 2)^{2}+\mathrm{C}
$
$
\Rightarrow \mathrm{C}=0
$
$\therefore y(\ln (\sec x))^{3}=\frac{-1}{2}(\ln (\sec x))^{2}+0$
$y=\frac{-1}{2 \ln (\sec x)}$
$y=\frac{1}{2 \ln (\cos x)}$
$\therefore y\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right)=\frac{1}{2 \ln \left(\cos \frac{\pi}{6}\right)}$
$=\frac{1}{2 \ln \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)}$
$=\frac{1}{2\left(\frac{1}{2} \ln 3-\ln 2\right)}$
$=\frac{1}{\ln 3-\ln 4}$

The least value of $n$ for which the number of integral terms in the Binomial expansion of $(\sqrt[3]{7}+\sqrt[12]{11})^{n}$ is 183 , is :
Answer(A)
Sol. General term $={ }^{\mathrm{n}} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{r}}\left(7^{1 / 3}\right)^{\mathrm{n}-\mathrm{r}}\left(11^{1 / 12}\right)^{\mathrm{r}}$
$
={ }^{\mathrm{n}} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{r}}(7)^{\frac{\mathrm{n}-\mathrm{r}}{3}}(11)^{\mathrm{r} / 12}

Total values of $r=183$
Hence $\max r=12(182)$

=2184

Two parabolas have the same focus $(4,3)$ and their directrices are the $x$-axis and the $y$-axis, respectively. If these parabolas intersects at the points $A$ and $B$, then $(A B)^{2}$ is equal to
Answer(A)

Let intersection points of these two parabolas are
$\mathrm{A}\left(\mathrm{x}_{1}, \mathrm{y}_{1}\right) \& \mathrm{~B}\left(\mathrm{x}_{2}, \mathrm{y}_{2}\right)$
$\because$ equation of parabola I and II are given below
$\therefore(\mathrm{x}-4)^{2}+(\mathrm{y}-3)^{2}=\mathrm{x}^{2}$
$\&(x-4)^{2}+(y-3)^{2}=y^{2}$
Here $A\left(x_{1}, y_{1}\right) \& B\left(x_{2}, y_{2}\right)$ will satisfy the equation
Also from equations (1) \& (2), we get $x=y$..(3)
Put $\mathrm{x}=\mathrm{y}$ in equation (1)
We get $x^{2}-14 x+25=0$
$\mathrm{x}_{1}+\mathrm{x}_{2}=14$
$\mathrm{x}_{1} \mathrm{X}_{2}=25$
$\therefore \mathrm{AB}^{2}=\left(\mathrm{x}_{1}-\mathrm{x}_{2}\right)^{2}+\left(\mathrm{y}_{1}-\mathrm{y}_{2}\right)^{2}$
$=2\left(x_{1}-x_{2}\right)^{2}$
$=2\left[\left(x_{1}+x_{2}\right)^{2}-4 x_{1} x_{2}\right]$

Then $M^{4}-m^{4}$ is equal to :
Answer(A)
Sol. $\left|\begin{array}{ccc}1+\sin ^{2} x & \cos ^{2} x & 4 \sin 4 x \\ \sin ^{2} x & 1+\cos ^{2} x & 4 \sin 4 x \\ \sin ^{2} x & \cos ^{2} x & 1+4 \sin 4 x\end{array}\right|, x \in R$
$\mathrm{R}_{2} \rightarrow \mathrm{R}_{2}-\mathrm{R}_{1} \& \mathrm{R}_{3} \rightarrow \mathrm{R}_{3}-\mathrm{R}_{1}$
$f(x)\left|\begin{array}{ccc}1+\sin ^{2} x & \cos ^{2} x & 4 \sin 4 x \\ -1 & 1 & 0 \\ -1 & 0 & 1\end{array}\right|$
Expand about $\mathrm{R}_{1}$, we get
$f(x)=2+4 \sin 4 x$
$\therefore M=$ max value of $f(x)=6$
$m=\min$ value of $f(x)=-2$
$\therefore \mathrm{M}^{4}-\mathrm{m}^{4}=1280$
