Let $f(x)$ be a quadratic polynomial such that $f(-2)$ $+f(3)=0$. If one of the roots of $f(x)=0$ is $-1$, then the sum of the roots of $f(x)=0$ is equal to
  • $\frac{11}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{7}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{13}{3}$
  • D
    $\frac{14}{3}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\frac{11}{3}$
a
$f (-2)+ f (3)=0$

$f ( x )=( x +1)( ax + b )$

$f (-2)+ f (3)=-1(-2 a + b )+4(3 a + b )=0$

$2 a - b +12 a +4 b =0$

$14 a +3 b =0$

$\frac{- b }{ a }=\frac{14}{3}$

Sum of roots $=\left(-1+\frac{-b}{a}\right)=-1+\frac{14}{3}=\frac{11}{3}$

Let $S=\{1,2,3,4\}$. Then the number of elements in the set $\{f: S \times S \rightarrow S: f$ is onto and $f(a, b)=f(b, a)$ $\geq a; \forall(a, b) \in S \times S\}$ is
  • $37$
  • B
    $378$
  • C
    $97$
  • D
    $30$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$37$
a
$(1,1),(1,4),(4,1),(2,4),(4,2),(3,4),(4,3)$,

$(4,4)-$ all have one choice for image.

$(2,1),(1,2),(2,2)$ - all have three choices for image

$(3,2),(2,3),(3,1),(1,3),(3,3)-$ all have two choices for image.

So the total functions $=3 \times 3 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2=72$

Case $1$ : None of the pre-images have $3$ as image

Total functions $=2 \times 2 \times 1 \times 1 \times 1=4$

Case $2$ : None of the pre-images have $2$ as image

Total functions $=2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2=32$

Case $3$ : None of the pre-images have either $3$ or $2$

as image

Total functions $=1 \times 1 \times 1 \times 1 \times 1=1$

$\therefore$ Total onto functions $=72-4-32+1=37$

Let $c, k \in R$. If $f(x)=(c+1) x^{2}+\left(1-c^{2}\right) x+2 k$ and $f(x+y)=f(x)+f(y)-x y$, for all $x, y \in R$, then the value of $|2( f (1)+ f (2)+ f (3)+\ldots \ldots+ f (20)) \mid$ is equal to

    $3375$
  • C
    $3385$
  • $3395$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$3395$
d
$f(x)=(c+1) x^{2}+\left(1-c^{2}\right) x+2 k$        $\dots(1)$

$f(x+y)=f(x)+f(y)-x y \quad \forall x y \in R$

$\lim \limits_{y \rightarrow 0} \frac{f(x+y)-f(x)}{y}=\lim \limits_{y \rightarrow 0} \frac{f(y)-x y}{y}\Rightarrow f^{\prime}(x)=f^{\prime}(0)-x$

$f(x)=-\frac{1}{2} x^{2}+f^{\prime}(0) \cdot x+\lambda \quad \text { but } f(0)=0 \Rightarrow \lambda=0$

$f(x)=-\frac{1}{2} x^{2}+\left(1-c^{2}\right) \cdot x$        $\dots(2)$

$\therefore \quad$ as $f ^{\prime}(0)=1- c ^{2}$

Comparing equation $(1)$ and $(2)$

We obtain, $c =-\frac{3}{2}$

$\therefore \quad f ( x )=-\frac{1}{2} x ^{2}-\frac{5}{4} x$

Now $\left|2 \sum \limits_{x=1}^{20} f(x)\right|=\sum \limits_{x=1}^{20} x^{2}+\frac{5}{2} \cdot \sum \limits_{x=1}^{20} x$

$=2870+525$

Let $f ( x )$ be a quadratic polynomial with leading coefficient $1$ such that $f(0)=p, p \neq 0$ and $f(1)=\frac{1}{3}$. If the equation $f(x)=0$ and $fofofof (x)=0$ have a common real root, then $f(-3)$ is equal to $........$
  • $25$
  • B
    $24$
  • C
    $23$
  • D
    $22$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$25$
a
Let $f(x)=(x-\alpha)(x-\beta)$

It is given that $f(0)=p \Rightarrow \alpha \beta=p$

and $f(1)=\frac{1}{3} \Rightarrow(1-\alpha)(1-\beta)=\frac{1}{3}$

Now, let us assume that $\alpha$ is the common root of $f(x)=0$ and $f \circ f \circ f o f(x)=0$

$fofofof(x)=0$

$fofof(0) =0$

$f o f(p)=0$

So, $f(p)$ is either $\alpha$ or $\beta$.

$(p-\alpha)(p-\beta)=\alpha$

$(\alpha \beta-\alpha)(\alpha \beta-\beta)=\alpha \Rightarrow(\beta-1)(\alpha-1) \beta=1$

$(\because \alpha \neq 0)$

So, $\beta=3$

$(1-\alpha)(1-3)=\frac{1}{3}$

$\alpha=\frac{7}{6}$

$f(x)=\left(x-\frac{7}{6}\right)(x-3)$

$f(-3)=\left(-3-\frac{7}{6}\right)(3-3)=25$

$f(g(x))=2 g(x)-1=2\left(\frac{2 x-1}{2(x-1)}\right)-1$

$=\frac{x}{x-1}=1+\frac{1}{x-1}$

Range of $f(g(x)= R -\{1\}$

Range of $f(g(x))$ is not onto

$\&$ $f(g(x))$ is one-one

So $f(g(x))$ is one-one but not onto.

  • A
    If $fog$ is one-one, then $g$ is one-one
  • B
    If $f$ is onto, then $f ( n )= n\, \forall \,n \in N$
  • C
    $f$ is one-one
  • If $g$ is onto, then $fog$ is one-one
Answer
Correct option: D.
If $g$ is onto, then $fog$ is one-one
d
$f(n+1)-f(n)=f(1)$

$\Rightarrow f(n)=n f(1)$

$\Rightarrow f$ is one-one

Now, Let $f \left( g \left( x _{2}\right)\right)= f \left( g \left( x _{1}\right)\right)$

$\Rightarrow g\left(x_{2}\right)=g\left(x_{1}\right)($ as $f$ is one-one $)$

$\Rightarrow x _{1}= x _{2}$ (as fog is one-one)

$\Rightarrow g$ is one-one

Now, $f(g(n))=g(n) f(1)$

may be many-one if

Then the number of possible functions $g : A \rightarrow A$ such that $gof=f$ is ...... .

  • $10^{5}$
  • B
    ${ }^{10} C _{5}$
  • C
    $5^{5}$
  • D
    $5 !$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$10^{5}$
a
$f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cl}x+1, & \text { if } x \text { is odd } \\ x, & \text { if } x \text { is even }\end{array}\right.$

$\because g : A \rightarrow A$ such that $g (f( x ))=f( x )$

$\Rightarrow$ If $x$ is even then $g(x)=x ....(1)$

If $x$ is odd then $g(x+1)=x+1....(2)$

from $(1)$ and $(2)$ we can say that

$g(x)=x$ if $x$ is even

$\Rightarrow$ If $x$ is odd then $g(x)$ can take any value in set $A$

so number of $g(x)=10^{5} \times 1$

Define a relation $R$ over a class of $n \times n$ real matrices $A$ and $B$ as $"ARB$ iff there exists a non-singular matrix $P$ such that $PAP ^{-1}= B "$ Then which of the following is true?
  • A
    $R$ is symmetric, transitive but not reflexive.
  • B
    $R$ is reflexive, symmetric but not transitive
  • $R$ is an equivalence relation
  • D
    $R$ is reflexive, transitive but not symmetric
Answer
Correct option: C.
$R$ is an equivalence relation
c
$A$ and $B$ are matrices of $n \times n$ order  ARB iff

there exists a non singular matrix $P (\operatorname{det}( P ) \neq 0)$

such that $PAP ^{-1}= B$

For reflexive

$ARA \Rightarrow PAP ^{-1}= A \quad \ldots(1)$ must be true for $P = I ,$ Eq.(1) is true so $'R'$ is reflexive

For symmetric

$ARB \Leftrightarrow PAP ^{-1}= B \quad \ldots(1)$ is true

for $BRA$ iff $PBP ^{-1}= A \ldots$. (2) must be true

$\because PAP -1= B$

$P ^{-1} PAP ^{-1}= P ^{-1} B$

$IAP ^{-1} P = P ^{-1} BP$

$A = P ^{-1} BP \ldots(3)$

from $(2)$ And $(3) PBP ^{-1}= P ^{-1} BP$

can be true some $P = P ^{-1} \Rightarrow P ^{2}= I (\operatorname{det}( P ) \neq 0)$

So $'R'$ is symmetric

For trnasitive

$ARB \Leftrightarrow PAP ^{-1}= B \ldots$ is true

$BRC \Leftrightarrow PBP ^{-1}= C \ldots$ is true

now $\quad PPAP ^{-1} P ^{-1}= C$

$P ^{2} A \left( P ^{2}\right)^{-1}= C \Rightarrow ARC$

So $'R'$ is transitive relation

$\Rightarrow$ Hence $R$ is equivalence

Answer
Correct option: A.
$\operatorname{cosec}^{2}(1) \operatorname{cosec}(21) \sin (20)$
a
$f(x)=\cos a x$

$\because f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)=-1$

So, $-1=\cos \frac{a}{2}$

$\Rightarrow a=2(2 n+1) \pi$

Thus $f(x)=\cos 2(2 n+1) \pi x$

Now k is natural number

Thus $f(k)=1$

$\sum_{k=1}^{20} \frac{1}{\sin k \sin (k+1)}=\frac{1}{\sin 1} \sum_{k=1}^{20}\left[\frac{\sin ((k+1)-k)}{\sin k \cdot \sin (k+1)}\right]$

Let $\mathrm{g}: \mathrm{N} \rightarrow \mathrm{N}$ be defined as

$g(3 n+1)=3 n+2$

$g(3 n+2)=3 n+3$

$g(3 n+3)=3 n+1, \text { for all } n \geq 0$

Then which of the following statements is true?

  • A
    $\operatorname{gog} \mathrm{og}=\mathrm{g}$
  • There exists an onto function f: $N \rightarrow N$ such that $fog =f$
  • C
    There exists a one- one function $f: N \rightarrow N$ such that $f o g=f$
  • D
    There exists an function $f: N \rightarrow N$ such that $gof =f$
Answer
Correct option: B.
There exists an onto function f: $N \rightarrow N$ such that $fog =f$
b
$g(3 n+1)=3 n+2$

$g(3 n+2)=3 n+3$

$g(3 n+3)=3 n+1, n \geq 0$

For $x=3 n+1$

$(1)$ $\operatorname{gogog}(3 n+1)=\operatorname{gog}(3 n+2)=g(3 n+3)=3 n+1$

Similarly

$\operatorname{gogog}(3 n+2)=3 n+2$

$\operatorname{gogog}(3 n+3)=3 n+3$

So gogog $(x)=x \quad \forall x \in N$

$(2)$ If $\mathrm{f}: \mathrm{N} \rightarrow \mathrm{N}$ and $\mathrm{f}$ is an onto function such that $\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{g}(\mathrm{x}))=\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})$ then

One of its possibilities is by taking $f(x)$ as onto function

$f(x)=a \quad x=3 n+1$

$\quad\quad \quad a \quad x=3 n+2, a \in N$

$\quad\quad \quad a \quad x=3 n+3$

$(3)$ If $f: N \rightarrow N$ and $f$ is a one-one function such that $f(g(x))=f(x)$ then

$g(x)=x$ but $g(x) \neq x$

$(4)$ As $f: N \rightarrow N, f=3 n+1$

$\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad=3 \mathrm{n}+2$

So, $g(3 n+1)=3 n+2, g(3 n+2)=3 n+3, g(3 n+3)=3 n+1$

So $g(f(x)) \neq f(x)$

  • A
    $7$
  • B
    $2$
  • $5$
  • D
    $3$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$5$
c
$f(x)=y=\frac{x-2}{x-3}$

$\therefore x=\frac{3 y-2}{y-1}$

$\therefore f^{-1}(x)=\frac{3 x-2}{x-1}$

$ g(x)=y=2 x-3$

$\therefore x=\frac{y+3}{2}$

$\therefore g^{-1}(x)=\frac{x+3}{2}$

$\because f^{-1}(x)+g^{-1}(x)=\frac{13}{2}$

$\therefore x^{2}-5 x+6=0$

$\therefore$ sum of roots

$x_{1}+x_{2}=5$

Answer
Correct option: B.

$f(x+y)=f(x) f(y)$

put $x = y =1 \quad f(2)=(f(1))^{2}=3^{2}$

put $x=2, y=1 \quad f(3)=(f(1))^{3}=3^{3}$ :

Similarly $f(x)=3^{x}$

$\sum_{i=1}^{n} f(i)=363 \Rightarrow \sum_{i=1}^{n} 3^{i}=363$

$\left(3+3^{2}+\ldots+3^{n}\right)=363$

$\frac{3\left(3^{n}-1\right)}{2}=363$

$3^{n}-1=242 \Rightarrow 3^{n}=243$

$\Rightarrow n =5$

For a suitably chosen real constant $a$, let a function, $f: R-\{-a\} \rightarrow R$ be defined by $f(x)=\frac{a-x}{a+x} .$ Further suppose that for any real number $x \neq- a$ and $f( x ) \neq- a ,( fof )( x )= x .$ Then $f\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)$ is equal to
  • A
    $\frac{1}{3}$
  • $3$
  • C
    $-3$
  • D
    $-\frac{1}{3}$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$3$
b
$f(x)=\frac{a-x}{a+x} \quad x \in R-\{-a\} \rightarrow R$

$f(f(x))=\frac{a-f(x)}{a+f(x)}=\frac{a-\left(\frac{a-x}{a+x}\right)}{a+\left(\frac{a-x}{a+x}\right)}$

$f(f(x))=\frac{\left(a^{2}-a\right)+x(a+1)}{\left(a^{2}+a\right)+x(a-1)}=x$

$\Rightarrow\left(a^{2}-a\right)+x(a+1)=\left(a^{2}+a\right) x+x^{2}(a-1)$

$\Rightarrow a(a-1)+x\left(1-a^{2}\right)-x^{2}(a-1)=0$

$\Rightarrow a=1$

$f(x)=\frac{1-x}{1+x}$

$f\left(\frac{-1}{2}\right)=\frac{1+\frac{1}{2}}{1-\frac{1}{2}}=3$

If $f( x + y )=f( x ) f( y )$ and $\sum \limits_{ x =1}^{\infty} f( x )=2, x , y \in N$ where $N$ is the set of all natural numbers, then the value of $\frac{f(4)}{f(2)}$ is
  • A
    $\frac{1}{9}$
  • $\frac{4}{9}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{3}$
  • D
    $\frac{2}{3}$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\frac{4}{9}$
b
$f(x+y)=f(x) \cdot f(y)$

$\sum_{x=1}^{\infty} f(x)=2 \quad$ where $x, y \in N$

$f(1)+f(2)+f(3)+\ldots . \infty=2 \ldots .(1)($ Given $)$

Now for $f(2)$ put $x=y=1$

$f(2)=f(1+1)=f(1) \cdot f(1)=(f(1))^{2}$

$f(3)=f(2+1)=f(2) \cdot f(1)=(f(1))^{3}$

Now put these values in equation

$f(1)+(f(1))^{2}+\left[f(1)^{2}+\ldots \infty=2\right]$

$\frac{f(1)}{1-f(1)}=2$

$\Rightarrow f(1)=\frac{2}{3}$

Now $f(2)=\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^{2}$

$f(4)=\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^{4}$

then the value of $\frac{f(4)}{f(2)}=\frac{\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^{4}}{\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^{2}}=\frac{4}{9}$
