MCQ 11 Mark
If the lines $\frac{x-1}{-3}=\frac{y-2}{2 k}=\frac{z-3}{2}$ and $\frac{x-1}{3 k}=\frac{y-1}{1}=\frac{z-6}{-5}$ are perpendicular to each other then $k =$ ?
  • $\frac{-10}{7}$
  • B
    $\frac{5}{7}$
  • C
    $\frac{-5}{7}$
  • D
    $\frac{10}{7}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\frac{-10}{7}$
If the lines are perpendicular to each other then the angle between these lines will be
$\frac{\pi}{2}$, then the cosine will be $0$
$\vec{a}=-3 \hat{i}+2 k \hat{j}+2 \hat{k}$
$\Rightarrow|\vec{a}|=\sqrt{3^2+(2 k)^2+2^2}$
$=\sqrt{13+4 k^2}$
$\overrightarrow{b}=3 k \hat{i}+\hat{j}-5 \hat{k}$
$\Rightarrow|\overrightarrow{b}|=\sqrt{(3 k)^2+1+5^2}$
$=\sqrt{9 k^2+26}$
$\cos \left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)=\frac{(3 k \hat{i}+\hat{j}-5 \hat{k}) \cdot(-3 \hat{i}+2 k \hat{j}+2 \hat{k})}{\sqrt{13+4 k^2} \times \sqrt{9 k^2+26}}$
$0=\frac{-9 k+2 k-10}{\sqrt{13+4 k^2} \times \sqrt{9 k^2+26}}$
$\Rightarrow k=-\frac{10}{7}$

MCQ 21 Mark
If $x = a \sec \theta, y = b \tan \theta$ then $\frac{d y}{d x}=$ ?
  • A
    $\frac{b}{a} \sec \theta$
  • B
    $\frac{b}{a} \tan \theta$
  • $\frac{b}{a} \operatorname{cosec} \theta$
  • D
    $\frac{b}{a} \cot \theta$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\frac{b}{a} \operatorname{cosec} \theta$
$x = a \sec \theta$, we get
$\therefore \frac{d x}{d \theta}=a \sec \theta \cdot \tan \theta$
$\therefore \frac{d \theta}{d x}=\frac{1}{asec \theta \cdot \tan \theta}$
$y=b \tan \theta,$ we  get 
$\therefore \frac{d y}{d \theta}=b \cdot \sec ^2 \theta$
$\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{d y}{d \theta} \times \frac{d \theta}{d x}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=b \cdot \sec ^2 \theta \times \frac{1}{asec \theta \cdot \tan \theta}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{b \sec \theta}{a \tan \theta}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{b \cdot \frac{1}{\cos \theta}}{a \cdot \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{b}{a} \operatorname{cosec} \theta$

MCQ 31 Mark
If $|\vec{a}|=4$ and $-3 \leq \lambda \leq 2$, then the range of $|\lambda \vec{a}|$ is
  • $[0,12]$
  • B
    $[0,8]$
  • C
    $[8,12]$
  • D
    $[-12,8]$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$[0,12]$
Given that, $|\vec{a}|=4$ and $-3 \leq \lambda \leq 2$
We know that, $|\lambda \vec{a}|=|\lambda||\vec{a}|$
$\Rightarrow|\lambda \vec{a}|=|-3||\vec{a}|=3.4=12 \text { at } \lambda=-3$
$\Rightarrow|\lambda \vec{a}|=|0||\vec{a}|=0.4=0 \text { at } \lambda=0$
$\Rightarrow|\lambda \vec{a}|=|2||\vec{a}|=2.4=8 \text { at } \lambda=2$
Hence, the range of $|\lambda \vec{a}|$ is $(0,12)$.

  • $x e^{\int P _1 d y}=\int\left( Q _1 e^{\int P _1 d y}\right) d y+ C$
  • B
    $y e^{\int P _1 d y}=\int\left( Q _1 e^{\int P _1 d y}\right) d y+ C$
  • C
    $y \cdot e^{\int_P d x}=\int\left(Q_1 e^{\int P_1 d x}\right) d x+C$
  • D
    $x e^{\int P^1 d x}=\int\left(Q_1 e^{\int P_1 d x}\right) d x+C$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$x e^{\int P _1 d y}=\int\left( Q _1 e^{\int P _1 d y}\right) d y+ C$
The integrating factor of the given differential equation
$\frac{d x}{d y}+P_1 x=Q_1$ is $e^{\int P_1 d y}$
Thus, the general solution of the differential equation is given by,
$x(\text { I. F. })=\int\left(Q_1 \times \text { I.F. }\right) d y+C$
$\Rightarrow x \cdot e^{\int P_1 d y}=\int\left(Q_1 e^{\int P_1 d y}\right) d y+C$

MCQ 131 Mark
The general solution of the differential equation $\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{y}{x}$ is
  • $y = kx$
  • B
    $\log(y) - kx$
  • C
    $\cos x$
  • D
    $\tan x$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$y = kx$
We have,
$\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{y}{x}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{y}=\frac{d x}{x}$
Integrating on both sides,
$\int \frac{d y}{y}=\int \frac{d x}{x}$
$\log |y|=\log |x|+\log k$
$\Rightarrow \log \left(\frac{y}{x}\right)=\log k$
$\Rightarrow y = kx$

If $A \cdot(\operatorname{adj} A)=\left[\begin{array}{lll}3 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 3 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 3\end{array}\right]$, then the value of $|A|+|\operatorname{adj} A|$ is equal to:
  • $12$
  • B
    $3$
  • C
    $27$
  • D
    $9$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$12$
$A \cdot(\operatorname{adj} A)=\left[\begin{array}{lll}3 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 3 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 3\end{array}\right]$
we know that $A \cdot(\operatorname{Adj} A)=I .|A|$
$\begin{array}{l}\Longrightarrow\left[\begin{array}{lll}3 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 3 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 3\end{array}\right]=| A | I \\ \Longrightarrow 3\left[\begin{array}{lll}1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1\end{array}\right]=| A | I \end{array}$
$\Longrightarrow 3 I =| A | I$
$\Longrightarrow| A |=3 \cdots(1)$
$|\operatorname{Adj} A |=| A |^{3-1}[\text { Since order } n =3]$
$|\operatorname{Adj} A |=(3)^2=9$
$|\operatorname{adj}(A)|=9 ......(2)$
Now,
$|A|+|\operatorname{adj} A|=3+9=12$

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}\left|\begin{array}{cc} (2 x-0) & \{0-(x+3)\} \\ (x+3-x) & \{x-(x+6)\} \end{array}\right|=0$
$\Rightarrow\left|\begin{array}{cc} 2 x & -(x+3) \\ 3 & -6\end{array}\right|=0 $
$\Rightarrow-12 x+3(x+3)=0$
$\Rightarrow-12 x+3 x+9=0$
