Line $L_1$ passes through the point $(1,2,3)$ and is parallel to z-axis. Line $L_2$ passes through the point $(\lambda, 5,6)$ and is parallel to $y$ -axis. Let for $\lambda=\lambda_1, \lambda_2, \lambda_2<\lambda_1$, the shortest distance between the two lines be 3 . Then the square of the distance of the point $\left(\lambda_1, \lambda_2, 7\right)$ from the line $L_1$ is

Let foot of perpendicular from
$P (4,-2,7)$ is $Q (1,2, t +3)$
So $(3,-4,4- t ) \cdot(0,0,1)=0$
$
t=4
$
So $Q (1,2,7)$

Let $f( x )=\left\{\begin{array}{lll}(1+ ax )^{1 / x } & , & x < 0 \\ 1+ b & , & x =0 \\ \frac{( x +4)^{1 / 2}-2}{( x + c )^{1 / 3}-2} & , & x >0\end{array}\right.$

Answer
Correct option: C.
48
(C). 48
$
\begin{array}{l}
f\left(0^{-}\right)=e^{\lim _{x \rightarrow 0 \rightarrow 2 x}^{ax}}=e^{a} \\
f(0)=1+b \\
f\left(0^{+}\right)=\frac{\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x+4}}}{\frac{1}{3}(x+c)^{-\frac{2}{3}}}=\frac{\frac{1}{2(2)}}{\frac{1}{3} \cdot c^{-\frac{2}{3}}} \\
=\frac{3}{4} c^{2 / 3}
\end{array}
$
Also at $x =0$;
$
c^{1 / 3}=2 \Rightarrow c=8
$
So $f \left(0^{+}\right)=\frac{3}{4}(8)^{2 / 3}=3$
Now, $e ^{ a }= b +1=3$
$e ^{ a } \cdot b \cdot c =3 \cdot 2 \cdot 8=48$

If $\sum_{ r =1}^9\left(\frac{ r +3}{2^r}\right) \cdot{ }^9 C _{ r }=\alpha\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^9-\beta, \quad \alpha, \beta \in N , \quad$ then $(\alpha+\beta)^2$ is equal to

    27
  • B
    9
  • 81
  • D

Answer
Correct option: C.
81
(C). 81
Given that
$
\sum_{r=1}^9\left(\frac{r+3}{2^{r}}\right) \cdot{ }^9 C_{r}=\alpha\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^9-\beta, \alpha, \beta \in N
$
Now,
$
\begin{array}{l}
\sum_{r=1}^9\left(\frac{r+3}{2^{r}}\right) \cdot{ }^9 C_{r}=\sum_{r=1}^9\left(\frac{r}{2^{r}}\right) \cdot{ }^9 C_{r}+\sum_{r=1}^9\left(\frac{3}{2^{r}}\right) \cdot{ }^9 C_{r} \\
=\sum_{r=1}^9\left(\frac{9}{2^{r}}\right) \cdot{ }^8 C_{r-1}+3 \sum_{r=1}^9{ }^9 C_{r}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{r}\left[U \sin g \frac{{ }^9 C_{r}}{{ }^8 C_{r-1}}=\frac{9}{r}\right]
\end{array}
$
$
\begin{array}{l}
=\frac{9}{2} \sum_{r=1}^9{ }^8 C_{r-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{r-1}+3\left(\sum_{r=0}^9\left({ }^9 C_{r}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{r}\right)-1\right) \\
=\frac{9}{2}\left(1+\frac{1}{2}\right)^8+3\left(\left(1+\frac{1}{2}\right)^9-1\right) \\
=\frac{9}{2} \cdot\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^8+3\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^9-3=6 \cdot\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^9-3
\end{array}
$
Hence, $\alpha=6, \beta=3$
Thus $(\alpha+\beta)^2=81$

If the domain of the function $f(x)=\log _e\left(\frac{2 x-3}{5+4 x}\right)+\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{4+3 x}{2-x}\right)$ is $[\alpha, \beta)$, then $\alpha^2+4 \beta$ is equal to
  • A
    5
  • 4
  • C
    3
  • D
    7
Answer
Correct option: B.
4
B
Given function is
$
f(x)=\log _e\left(\frac{2 x-3}{5+4 x}\right)+\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{4+3 x}{2-x}\right)
$
For domain, the conditions are
$
\frac{2 x-3}{5+4 x}>0 \text { and }\left|\frac{4+3 x}{2-x}\right| \leq 1
$
Now, $\frac{2 x -3}{5+4 x }>0 \Rightarrow x \in\left(-\infty,-\frac{5}{4}\right) \cup\left[\frac{3}{2}, \infty\right)$
$
\begin{array}{l}
\text { and } \quad-1 \leq \frac{4+3 x}{2-x} \leq 1 \\
\Rightarrow\left(-1 \leq \frac{4+3 x}{2-x}\right) \cap\left(\frac{4+3 x}{2-x} \leq 1\right) \\
\Rightarrow\left(\frac{6+2 x}{2-x} \geq 0\right) \cap\left(\frac{2+4 x}{2-x} \leq 0\right)
\end{array}
$
$
\begin{array}{l}
\Rightarrow \frac{6+2 x}{2-x} \cdot \frac{2+4 x}{2-x} \leq 0 \\
\Rightarrow x \in\left[-3,-\frac{1}{2}\right]
\end{array}
$
Hence, we get the domain of $f$ as $x \in\left[-3,-\frac{5}{4}\right)$
This means that $\alpha=-3, \beta=-\frac{5}{4}$
Thus, $\alpha^2+4 \beta=9-5=4$
