Evaluate: $\int_0^9 \frac{\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{9-x} d x}$
Answer$ \text { Let } I =\int_0^9 \frac{\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{9}-x} d x \quad \ldots \ldots . . \text { (i) }$
$=\int_0^9 \frac{\sqrt{9-x}}{\sqrt{9-x}+\sqrt{9-(9-x)}} d x \quad \ldots \ldots\left[\because \int_0^{ a } f (x) d x=\int_0^{ a } f ( a -x) d x\right]$
$\therefore I =\int_0^9 \frac{\sqrt{9-x}}{\sqrt{9-x}+\sqrt{x}} d x \quad \ldots \ldots \text { (ii) } $
Adding (i) and (ii), we get
$ 2 l =\int_0^9 \frac{\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{9-x}} d x+\int_0^9 \frac{\sqrt{9-x}}{\sqrt{9-x}+\sqrt{x}} d x$
$=\int_0^9 \frac{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{9-x}}{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{9-x}} d x$
$=\int_0^9 d x$
$=[x]_0^9$
$\therefore 2 l =9-0$
$\therefore I =\frac{9}{2} $

$\int \frac{\log (\log x)}{x} d x$
Answer$\text { Let } I =\int \frac{\log (\log x)}{x} d x$
Put $\log x=t$
$ \therefore \frac{1}{x} d x= dt$
$\therefore I =\int \log t d t =\int \log t \cdot 1 dt$
$=\log t \int 1 \cdot dt -\int\left[\frac{ d }{ dt }(\log t ) \int 1 \cdot dt \right] dt$
$=\log t \cdot t -\int\left(\frac{1}{ t } \times t \right) dt$
$= t \cdot \log t -\int dt$
$= t \log t - t + c$
$= t (\log t -1)+ c$
$\therefore I =\log x [\log (\log x )-1]+ c $

Find the values of $x$ for which the function $f(x) = 2x^3 – 6x^2 + 6x + 24$ is strictly increasing
Answer$f(x) = 2x^3 – 6x^2 + 6x + 24$
$\therefore f′(x) = 6x^2 – 12x + 6$
$= 6(x^2 – 2x + 1)$
$= 6(x – 1)^2$
$f(x)$ is strictly increasing, if f$′(x) > 0$
$\therefore 6(x – 1)^2 > 0$
$\therefore (x – 1)^2 > 0$ for all $x \in R, x \neq 1$
Thus, $f(x)$ is strictly increasing for $x \in R – {1}.$

Find the position vector of point $R$ which divides the line joining the points $P$ and $Q$ whose position vectors are $2 \hat{ i }-\hat{ j }+3 \widehat{ k }$ and $-5 \hat{ i }+2 \hat{ j }-5 \widehat{ k }$ in the ratio $3: 2$
(i) internally
(ii) externally
AnswerLet $\overline{ p }, \overline{ q }$ and $\overline{ r }$ be the position vectors of points $P , Q$ and $R$ respectively.
$\therefore \overline{ p }=2 \hat{ i }-\hat{ j }+3 \widehat{ k }, \overline{ q }=-5 \hat{ i }+2 \hat{ j }-5 \widehat{ k }, m : n =3: 2$
(i) $R$ divides the line $PQ$ internally in the ratio $3: 2$
$\therefore$ By using section formula for internal division,
$ \overline{ r }=\frac{ m \overline{ q }+ n \overline{ p }}{ m + n }$
$=\frac{3(-5 \hat{ i }+2 \hat{ j }-5 \widehat{ k })+2(2 \hat{ i }-\hat{ j }+3 \widehat{ k })}{3+2}$
$=\frac{-15 \hat{ i }+6 \hat{ j }-15 \widehat{ k }+4 \hat{ i }-2 \hat{ j }+6 \widehat{ k }}{5}$
$\therefore \overline{ r }=\frac{-11 \hat{ i }+4 \hat{ j }-9 \widehat{ k }}{5}$
$=\frac{-11}{5} \hat{ i }+\frac{4}{5} \hat{ j }-\frac{9}{5} \widehat{ k } $
(ii) $R$ divides the line $PQ$ externally in ratio $3: 2$
$\therefore$ By using section formula for external division,
$ \overline{ r }=\frac{ m \overline{ q }- n \overline{ p }}{ m - n }$
$=\frac{3(-5 \hat{ i }+2 \hat{ j }-5 \widehat{ k })-2(2 \hat{ i }-\hat{ j }+3 \widehat{ k })}{3-2}$
$=\frac{-15 \hat{ i }+6 \hat{ j }-15 \widehat{ k }-4 \hat{ i }+2 \hat{ j }-6 \widehat{ k }}{1}$
$\therefore \overline{ r }=-19 \hat{ i }+8 \hat{ j }-21 \widehat{ k } $

Evaluate $\cos \left[\frac{\pi}{6}+\cos ^{-1}\left(-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)\right]$
Answer$ \text { Let } \cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)=y$
$\therefore \cos y=\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{2}$
$=-\cos \left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right)$
$=\cos \left(\pi-\frac{\pi}{6}\right)$
$=\cos \frac{5 \pi}{6} $
The principal value branch of $\cos ^{-1}$ is $[0, \pi]$ and $0 \leq \frac{5 \pi}{6} \leq \pi$.
$ \therefore y=\frac{5 \pi}{6}$
$\therefore \cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)=\frac{5 \pi}{6}$
$\therefore \frac{\pi}{6}+\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{3}\right)$
$=\frac{\pi}{6}+\frac{5 \pi}{6}$
$=\pi$
$\therefore \cos \left[\frac{\pi}{6}+\cos ^{-1}\left(-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)\right]=\cos \pi=-1 $

$=\int_0^1 \frac{\frac{4 t ^2}{\left(1+ t ^2\right)^2}}{\frac{4}{\left(1+ t ^2\right)^2}} \cdot \frac{2 dt }{1+ t ^2}$
$=2 \int_0^1 \frac{ t ^2}{1+ t ^2} dt$
$=2 \int_0^1\left(\frac{1+ t ^2-1}{1+ t ^2}\right) dt$

Test whether the following function $f(x) = 2 – 3x + 3x^2 – x^3, x \in R$ is increasing or decreasing
Answer$f(x) = 2 – 3x + 3x^2 – x^3$
$\therefore f′(x) = – 3 + 6x – 3x^2$
$= –3(x^2 – 2x + 1)$
$= –3(x – 1)^2$
$(x – 1)^2$ is always positive for $x ≠ 1$ and $– 3 < 0$.
$\therefore –3(x – 1)^2$ is always negative for $x ≠ 1$.
$\therefore f′(x) \leq 0$ for all $x \in R.$
Hence, f(x) is a decreasing function for all $x \in R.$

AnswerGiven equations of lines are $x=y, z=0$
i.e., $\frac{x}{1}=\frac{ y }{1}=\frac{ z }{0}$ and $x =0$,
$z=0$ which represents $Y$-axis.
Direction ratios of above lines are
$a_1=1, b_1=1, c_1=0 \text { and }$
$a_2=0, b_2=1, c_2=0$
...(Direction ratios of $Y$-axis)
Angle between two lines is

In $\triangle A B C$, if $\frac{\cos A}{a}=\frac{\cos B}{b}$, then show that it is an isosceles triangle
AnswerIn $\triangle ABC$ by sine rule, we have
$ \frac{a}{\sin A}=\frac{b}{\sin B}=k$
$\therefore a=k \sin A, b=k \sin B $
Now, $\frac{\cos A }{ a }=\frac{\cos B }{ b }$ [Given]
$ \therefore \frac{\cos A}{k \sin A}=\frac{\cos B}{k \sin B}$
$\therefore \frac{\cos A}{\sin A}=\frac{\cos B}{\sin B}$
$\therefore \sin A \cos B=\cos A \sin B$
$\therefore \sin A \cos B-\cos A \sin B=0$
$\therefore \sin (A-B)=0=\sin 0$
$\therefore A-B=0$
$\therefore A=B $
Hence, $\triangle ABC$ is an isosceles triangle.

Water is being poured at the rate of $36\ m^3/sec$ in to a cylindrical vessel of base radius $3$ meters. Find the rate at which water level is rising
AnswerLet $h$ be the height of water level, $r$ be the radius of the base and $V$ be the volume of the cylindrical vessel.
Then, $r=3$ metres, $\frac{ dV }{ dT }$
$=36 m ^3 / sec$
$V=\pi r^2 h$
$=\pi(3)^2 h$
$=9 \pi h$
Differentiating w.r.t.t, we get
$ \frac{ dV }{ dt }=9 \pi \cdot \frac{ dh }{ dt }$
$\therefore \frac{ dh }{ dt }=\left(\frac{ dV }{ dt }\right) \times \frac{1}{9 \pi}$
$=\frac{36}{9 \pi}$
$=\frac{4}{\pi} m / sec $
Thus, water level is rising at the rate of $\frac{4}{\pi} m / sec$.

If $y =\tan ^{-1}\left[\frac{\sqrt{1+\cos x}}{1-\cos x}\right]$, find $\frac{ d y}{ d x}$
Answer$ \tan ^{-1}\left[\frac{\sqrt{1+\cos x}}{1-\cos x}\right]$
$=\tan ^{-1}\left[\sqrt{\left.\frac{2 \cos ^2\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)}{2 \sin ^2\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)}\right]}\right]$
$=\tan ^{-1}\left[\sqrt{\cot ^2\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)}\right]$
$=\tan ^{-1}\left[\cot \left(\frac{x}{2}\right)\right]$
$=\tan ^{-1}\left[\tan \left(\frac{\pi}{2}-\frac{x}{2}\right)\right]$
$=\frac{\pi}{2}-\frac{x}{2} $
Differentiating w. r. t. x, we get
$ \frac{ d y}{ d x}=\frac{ d }{ d x}\left(\frac{\pi}{2}-\frac{x}{2}\right)$
$\therefore \frac{ d }{ d x}=0-\frac{1}{2}$
$=-\frac{1}{2} $

Find the perpendicular distance of origin from the plane $6x − 2y + 3z - 7 = 0$
AnswerGiven equation of plane is $6 x-2 y+3 z-7=0$
Comparing the given equation with $ax + by + cz + d =0$,
we get $a=6, b=-2, c=3, d=-7$
$\therefore$ Direction cosines are,
$ I =\frac{6}{\sqrt{6^2+(-2)^2+3^2}}$
$m =\frac{-2}{\sqrt{6^2+(-2)^2+3^2}}$
$n =\frac{3}{\sqrt{6^2+(-2)^2+3^2}}$
$\therefore I =\frac{6}{7}, m =\frac{-2}{7}, n =\frac{3}{7} $
Cartesian equation of a plane in normal form is $1 x+m y+n z=p$
$ \therefore \frac{6}{7} x-\frac{2}{7} y+\frac{3}{7} z=\frac{7}{7}$
$\therefore \frac{6}{7} x-\frac{2}{7} y+\frac{3}{z} z=1 $
$\therefore$ The distance of the origin from the plane is $1 .$

Find the direction ratios of a vector perpendicular to the two lines whose direction ratios are $1, 3, 2$ and $–1, 1, 2$
AnswerLet $L_1$ and $L_2$ be the two lines with direction ratios $1,3,2$ and $-1,1,2$ respectively.
Let the direction ratios of the vector perpendicular to $L_1$ and $L_2$ be $a, b, c.$
$\therefore a+3 b+2 c=0$
and $-a+b+2 c=0$
$\begin{array}{l}\therefore \frac{ a }{\left|\begin{array}{ll}3 & 2 \\1 & 2\end{array}\right|}=\frac{- b }{\left|\begin{array}{cc}1 & 2 \\-1 & 2\end{array}\right|}=\frac{ c }{\left|\begin{array}{cc}1 & 3 \\-1 & 1\end{array}\right|} \end{array}$
$\therefore \frac{ a }{6-2}=\frac{- b }{2+2}=\frac{ c }{1+3}$
$\therefore \frac{ a }{4}=\frac{- b }{4}=\frac{ c }{4}$
$\therefore$ The direction ratios of the vector are $4,-4,4$.

$ =\left[\begin{array}{ll}1 & 0 \\ 0 & 2\end{array}\right] $
$ \therefore A^{-1}=\frac{1}{|A|}\left[\begin{array}{ll}1 & 0 \\ 0 & 2\end{array}\right] $
$ =\frac{1}{2}\left[\begin{array}{ll}1 & 0 \\ 0 & 2\end{array}\right]$
Let $X =\left[\begin{array}{l} a \\ b \end{array}\right] $
$ \therefore A ^{-1}= B $
$ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}\left[\begin{array}{ll}1 & 0 \\ 0 & 2\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{l} a \\ b \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{l}1 \\ 2\end{array}\right] $
$ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}\left[\begin{array}{l} a \\ 2 b \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{l}1 \\ 2\end{array}\right] $
$ \Rightarrow \frac{ a }{2}=1 \text { and } b =2 $

Find a and obtain c.d.f. of X. AnswerFor p.m.f. of a r.v. X
$ \sum_{i=1}^5 P ( X = x )=1$
$\therefore P ( X =1)+ P ( X =2)+ P ( X =3)+ P ( X =4)+ P ( X =5)=1$
$\therefore \frac{1}{20}+\frac{3}{20}+ a +2 a +\frac{1}{20}=1$
$\therefore 3 a =1-\frac{5}{20}$
$\therefore 3 a =1-\frac{1}{4}$

Let $F(x)$ be the c.d.f. of $X$.
Then $F(x)=P(X \leq x)$
$ \therefore F(1)=P(X \leq 1)=P(X=1)=\frac{1}{20}$
$F(2)=P(X \leq 2)=P(X=1)+P(X=2)$
$=\frac{1}{20}+\frac{3}{20}$

Answer$ \text { Let } I =\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \frac{\tan ^3 x}{1+\cos 2 x} d x$
$=\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \frac{\frac{\sin ^3 x}{\cos ^3 x}}{2 \cos ^2 x} d x$
$=\frac{1}{2} \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \frac{\sin ^2 x}{\cos ^5 x} d x$
$=\frac{1}{2} \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{4}} \frac{\left(1-\cos ^2 x\right) \sin x}{\cos ^5 x} d x $
Put $\cos x=t$
$ \therefore-\sin xdx = dt$
$\therefore \sin xdx =- dt $
When $x =0, t =1$ and when $x =\frac{\pi}{4}, t =\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
$ \therefore I =\frac{1}{2} \int_1^{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}} \frac{-\left(1- t ^2\right)}{ t ^5} dt$
$=\frac{1}{2} \int_1^{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}} \frac{ t ^2-1}{ t ^5} dt$
$=\frac{1}{2} \int_1^{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}\left( t ^{-3}- t ^{-5}\right) dt $

A man of height 2 metres walks at a uniform speed of 6 km/hr away from a lamp post of 6 metres high. Find the rate at which the length of the shadow is increasing.
AnswerLet $OA$ be the lamp post, $MN$ the man, $MB = x$ his shadow and $OM = y$ the distance of the man from lamp post at time $t$.

Then, $\frac{d y}{d t}=6 km / hr$ is the rate at which the man is moving away from the lamp post. $MN =2 m , OA =$ $6 m$ ...[Given]
$\frac{d x}{d t}$ is the rate at which his shadow is increasing.
From the figure,
$\triangle NMB \sim \triangle AOB$
$\therefore \frac{ MB }{ MN }=\frac{ OB }{ OA }$
$\therefore \frac{x}{2}=\frac{x+y}{6}$
$\therefore 6 x=2 x+2 y$
$\therefore 4 x =2 y$
$\therefore x=\frac{2 y}{4}$
$\therefore x=\frac{y}{2}$
Differentiating w.r.t.t, we get,
$ \therefore \frac{d x}{d t}=\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{d y}{d t}$
$=\frac{1}{2} \times 6$
$=3 km / hr $
Thus, the length of shadow is increasing at the rate of $3 km / hr$. View full question & answer→Question 402 Marks

Reduce the equation $\overline{ r } \cdot(3 \hat{ i }+4 \hat{ j }+12 \widehat{ k })=8$ to normal form
AnswerEquation of plane is $\overline{ r } \cdot(3 \hat{ i }+4 \hat{ j }+12 \widehat{ k })=8$
This is of the form,
$\overline{ r } \cdot \overline{ n }=8 \text {, where } \overline{ n }=3 \hat{ i }+4 \hat{ j }+12 \widehat{ k }$
Now, $|\overline{ n }|=\sqrt{3^2+4^2+12^2}$
$ =\sqrt{9+16+144}$
$=13 $
The equation $\overline{ r } \cdot \overline{ n }=8$ can be written as
$ \overline{ r } \cdot \frac{\overline{ n }}{|\overline{ n }|}=\frac{8}{|\overline{ n }|}$
$\text { i.e., } \overline{ r } \cdot\left(\frac{3}{13} \hat{ i }+\frac{4}{13} \hat{ j }+\frac{12}{13} \hat{ k }\right)=\frac{8}{13} $
which is the normal form of the plane.

Find the measure of the acute angle between the line represented by $3 x^2-4 \sqrt{3} x y+3 y^2=0$
AnswerGiven equation of the lines is $3 x^2-4 \sqrt{3} x y+3 y^2=0$
Comparing with $a x^2+2 h x y+b y^2=0$,
We get, $a=3, h=-2 \sqrt{3}$ and $b=3$
Let $\theta$ be the acute angle between the lines.
$ \therefore \tan \theta=\left|\frac{2 \sqrt{ h ^2- ab }}{ a + b }\right|$
$=\left|\frac{2 \sqrt{(-2 \sqrt{3})^2-3(3)}}{3+3}\right|$
$=\left|\frac{2 \sqrt{12-9}}{6}\right|$
$=\left|\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}\right|$
$\therefore \tan \theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$
$=\theta=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)$
$\therefore \theta=30^{\circ} $

If $X \sim B(n, p)$ with $n=10, p=0.4$, then find $E\left(X^2\right)$.
AnswerFor $X \sim B(n, p), E(X)=n p$ and $V(X)=n p q$ Given that $n=10$ and $p=0.4$
$\therefore q=1-p$
$=1-0.4$
$=0.6$
$\therefore E(X)=n p$
$=10 \times 0.4$
$=4$
and
$V(X)=npq$
$=10 \times 0.4 \times 0.6$
$=2.4$
Also, $V(X)=E\left(X^2\right)-[E(X)]^2$
$\therefore 2.4=E\left(X^2\right)-(4)^2$
$\therefore E\left(X^2\right)=2.4+16$

If the normal to the plane has direction ratios 2, −1, 2 and it’s perpendicular distance from origin is 6, find its equation
AnswerDirection ratios of the normal to the plane are $2,-1,2$
$\therefore a=2, b=-1$ and $c=2$
$\therefore$ Direction cosines are,
$ I =\frac{2}{\sqrt{2^2+(-1)^2+2^2}}$
$m =\frac{-1}{\sqrt{2^2+(-1)^2+2^2}}$
$n =\frac{2}{\sqrt{2^2+(-1)^2+2^2}}$
$\therefore I =\frac{2}{3}, m =\frac{-1}{3}, n =\frac{2}{3} $
Cartesian equation of a plane which is at the distance of 6 units from the origin is
$ \text { lx }+ my + nz =6$
$\therefore \frac{2}{3} x-\frac{1}{3} y+\frac{2}{3} z=6$

If a vector has direction angles 45° and 60°, find the third direction angle.
AnswerLet $\alpha, \beta, \gamma$ be the angles made by the vector with positive directions of $X, Y, Z$ axes respectively.
$\therefore \alpha=45^{\circ}, \beta=60^{\circ}$
We know that,
$ \because \cos ^2 \alpha+\cos ^2 \beta+\cos ^2 \gamma=1$
$\therefore \cos ^2 45^{\circ}+\cos ^2 60^{\circ}+\cos ^2 r=1 $
$\therefore\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^2+\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2+\cos ^2 \gamma=1$
$\therefore \frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}+\cos ^2 \gamma=1$
$ \therefore \cos ^2 \gamma=1-\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{4}$
$\therefore \cos ^2 \gamma=\frac{1}{4} $
$\therefore \cos ^2 \gamma=\frac{1}{4}$
$\therefore \cos \gamma= \pm \frac{1}{2}$
$\therefore \cos \gamma=\frac{1}{2}$ or $\cos \gamma=-\frac{1}{2}$
$\therefore \cos \gamma=\frac{\pi}{3}$ or $\cos \gamma=-\frac{\pi}{3}$
$\therefore \cos \left(\pi-\frac{\pi}{3}\right)=\cos \frac{2 \pi}{3}$
$\therefore \gamma=\frac{\pi}{3}$ or $\gamma=\frac{2 \pi}{3}$
Hence, the third direction angle is $\frac{\pi}{3}$ or $\frac{2 \pi}{3}$

Find the condition that the line $4x + 5y = 0$ coincides with one of the lines given by $ax^2 + 2hxy + by^2 = 0$
AnswerThe auxiliary equation of the lines represented by $a x^2+2 h x y+b y^2=0$ is $b m^2+2 h m+a=$ 0
Given that $4 x+5 y=0$ is one of the lines represented by $a x^2+2 h x y+b y^2=0$
The slope of the line $4 x+5 y=0$ is $-\frac{4}{5}$
$\therefore m =-\frac{4}{5}$ is a root of the auxiliary equation $bm ^2+2 hm + a =0$
$\therefore b\left(-\frac{4}{5}\right)^2+2 h\left(-\frac{4}{5}\right)+a=0$
$\therefore \frac{16 b}{25}-\frac{8 h}{5}+a=0$
$\therefore 16 b-40 h+25 a=0$
$\therefore 25 a+16 b-40 h=0$
This is the required condition.

Sketch the graph of inequation x ≥ 5y in xoy co-ordinate system
AnswerGiven inequation: x ≥ 5y
i.e., x − 5y ≥ 0
∴ Corresponding equation is x − 5y = 0
It is a line passing through origin O (0, 0).
To find another point on the line, we can take any value of x.
Substituting x = 5 in x − 5y = 0, we get
5 − 5y = 0
∴ 5 = 5y
∴ y = 1
∴ Another point on the line is A(5, 1).
∴ The line passes through O(0, 0) and A(5, 1).
Choose a point (1, 0) not lying on the line.
∴ Substituting x = 1, y = 0 in x ≥ 5y, we get 1 ≥ 0
∴ (1, 0) satisfies the given inequality.
∴ The required region is on the side containing the point (1, 0).

AnswerEquation of the plane is $\overline{ r } \cdot(3 \hat{ i }+4 \widehat{ k })=5$
This is of the form,
$\overline{ r } \cdot \overline{ n }=5 \text {, where } \overline{ n }=3 \hat{ i }+4 \widehat{ k }$
Now, $|\overline{ n }|=\sqrt{3^2+4^2}$
$ =\sqrt{9+16}$
$=5 $
The equation $\overline{ r } \cdot \overline{ n }=5$ can be written as
$ \overline{ r } \cdot \frac{\overline{ n }}{|\overline{ n }|}=\frac{5}{|\overline{ n }|}$
$\text { i.e., } \overline{ r } \cdot\left(\frac{3}{5} \hat{ i }+\frac{4}{5} \widehat{ k }\right)=\frac{5}{5}$
$=1 $
$\therefore$ The direction cosines of the normal are $\frac{3}{5}, 0, \frac{4}{5}$.

Show that following points are collinear $P(4, 5, 2), Q(3, 2, 4), R(5, 8, 0)$
AnswerLet $\overline{ p }, \overline{ q }, \overline{ r }$ be the position vectors of points $P , Q , R$ respectively.
$ \therefore \overline{ p }=4 \hat{ i }+5 \hat{ j }+2 \widehat{ k }$
$\overline{ q }=3 \hat{ i }+2 \hat{ j }+4 \widehat{ k },$
$\overline{ r }=5 \hat{ i }+8 \hat{ j }$
$\therefore \overline{ PQ }=\overline{ q }-\overline{ p }$
$=(3 \hat{ i }+2 \hat{ j }+4 \widehat{ k })-(4 \hat{ i }+5 \hat{ j }+2 \widehat{ k })$
$\therefore \overline{ PQ }=\hat{ i }-3 \hat{ j }+2 \widehat{ k }$
$\overline{ QR }=\overline{ r }-\overline{ q }$
$=5 \hat{ i }+8 \hat{ j }-(3 \hat{ i }+2 \hat{ j }+4 \widehat{ k })$
$=2 \hat{ i }+6 \hat{ j }-4 \widehat{ k }$
$\therefore \overline{ QR }=(-2)(-\hat{ i }-3 \hat{ j }+2 \widehat{ k }) \quad \ldots \ldots \ldots .( ii )$
$\therefore \overline{ QR }=(-2) \overline{ PQ } \ldots \ldots .[\text { From (i) and (ii)] } $
$\therefore \overline{ QR }$ is a scalar multiple of $\overline{ PQ }$
$\therefore \overline{ QR }$ and $\overline{ PQ }$ are parallel to each other with point $Q$ in common.
$\therefore \overline{ PQ }$ and $\overline{ QR }$ lie on the same line.
$\therefore$ Points $P , Q$ and $R$ are collinear.

Find the joint equation of pair of lines through the origin which is perpendicular to the lines represented by $5x^2 + 2xy - 3y^2 = 0$
AnswerComparing the equation $5 x^2+2 x y-3 y^2=0$, we get,
$a=5,2 h=+2, b=-3$
Let $m _1$ and $m _2$ be the slopes of the lines represented by $5 x^2+2 x y-3 y^2=0$
$ m_1+m_2=-\frac{2 h}{b}=-\frac{2}{-3}=\frac{2}{3}\ldots(i)$
$m_1 m_2=\frac{a}{b}=\frac{5}{-3} $
Now required lines are perpendicular to these lines
their slopes are $-\frac{1}{m_1}$ and $-\frac{1}{m_2}$
Since these lines are passing through the origin, their separate equations are
$y=-\frac{1}{m_1} x \text { and } y=-\frac{1}{m_2} x$
$\therefore m_1 y=-x \text { and } m_2 y=-x$
$x+m_1 y=0 \text { and } x+m_2 y=0$
their combined equation is
$ \left(x+m_1 y\right)\left(x+m_2 y\right)=0$
$x^2+\left(m_1+m_2\right) x y+m_1 m_2 y^2=0$
$x^2+\frac{2}{3} x y+\frac{-5}{3} y^2=0$
$3 x^2+2 x y-5 y^2=0 $

A r.v. X ~ B(n, p). If the values of mean and variance of X are 18 and 12 respectively, then find total number of positive values of X.
AnswerFor $X \sim B(n, p), E(X)=n p$ and $V(X)=n p q$
Given that $E(X)=18$ and $V(X)=12$
$ \therefore \frac{ V ( X )}{ E ( X )}=\frac{12}{18}$
$\therefore \frac{ npq }{ np }=\frac{2}{3}$
$\therefore q =\frac{2}{3}$
$\therefore p =1- q$
$=1-\frac{2}{3}$
$=\frac{1}{3}$
$\therefore E ( X )= np $
$ =18$
$\Rightarrow n \times \frac{1}{3}=18$
$\Rightarrow n =54$
$\Rightarrow X =0,1,2, \ldots, 54 $
$\therefore$ Total number of positive values of $X$ are 55 .

$\frac{2}{5}$ |
$\frac{2}{5}$ |
Answer$ E ( X )=\sum_{ i =1}^3 x_{ i } \cdot P \left(x_{ i }\right)$
$=1\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)+2\left(\frac{2}{5}\right)+3\left(\frac{2}{5}\right)$
$=\frac{1+4+6}{5}$
$=\frac{11}{5}$
$E \left( x ^2\right)=\sum_{ i =1}^3 x_{ i }^2 \cdot P \left(x_{ i }\right)$
$=1^2\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)+2^2\left(\frac{2}{5}\right)+3^2\left(\frac{2}{5}\right)$
$=\frac{1+8+18}{5}$
$=\frac{27}{5}$
$\therefore \operatorname{Var}(X)=E\left(X^2\right)-[E(X)]^2$
$=\frac{27}{5}-\left(\frac{11}{5}\right)^2$
$=\frac{14}{25}$

Solve each of the following inequations graphically using XY-plane: 4x - 18 ≥ 0
AnswerConsider the line whose equation is $4 x-18 \geq 0$ i.e. $x=\frac{18}{4}=\frac{9}{2}=4.5$
This represents a line parallel to $Y$-axis passing3through the point $(4.5,0)$
Draw the line $x=4.5$
To find the solution set, we have to check the position of the origin $(0,0)$.
When $x=0,4 x-18=4 \times 0-18=-18>0$
$\therefore$ the coordinates of the origin does not satisfy thegiven inequality.
$\therefore$ the solution set consists of the line $x =4.5$ and the non-origin side of the line which is shaded in the graph.

Find the direction ratios of the line perpendicular to the lines $\frac{x-7}{2}=\frac{y+7}{-3}=\frac{z-6}{1}$ and $\frac{x+5}{1}=\frac{y+3}{2}=\frac{z-6}{-2}$
AnswerLet $L_1$ and $L_2$ be the given lines with direction ratios $2,-3,1$ and $1,2,-2$ respectively.
Let the direction ratios of the line perpendicular to $L_1$ and $L_2$ be $a, b, c$.
$\therefore 2 a-3 b+c=0$ and $a+2 b-2 c=0$
$\therefore \frac{ a }{\left|\begin{array}{cc}-3 & 1 \\ 2 & -2\end{array}\right|}=\frac{ b }{\left|\begin{array}{cc}2 & 1 \\ 1 & -2\end{array}\right|}=\frac{ c }{\left|\begin{array}{cc}2 & -3 \\ 1 & 2\end{array}\right|}$
$\therefore \frac{ a }{6-2}=\frac{- b }{-4-1}=\frac{ c }{4+3}$
$\therefore \frac{ a }{4}=\frac{ b }{5}=\frac{ c }{7}$
$\therefore$ The direction ratios of the line are $4,5,7$.

Find the combined equation of the following pair of line passing through (−1, 2), one is parallel to x + 3y − 1 = 0 and other is perpendicular to 2x − 3y − 1 = 0
AnswerLet $L_1$ be the line passing through the point $(-1,2)$ and parallel to the line $x+3 y-1=0$ whose slope is $-\frac{1}{3}$.
$\therefore$ slope of the line $L_1$ is $-\frac{1}{3}$
$\therefore$ equation of the line $L _1$ is
$y-2=-\frac{1}{3}(x+1)$
$\therefore 3 y-6=-x-1$
$\therefore x+3 y-5=0$
Let $L_1$ be the line passing through $(-1,2)$ and perpendicular to the line $2 x-3 y-1=0$ whose slope is $\frac{-2}{-3}=\frac{2}{3}$
$\therefore$ slope of the line $L_2$ is $-\frac{3}{2}$
$\therefore$ equation of the line $L _2$ is
$y-2=-\frac{3}{2}(x+1)$
$\therefore 2 y-4=-3 x-3$
$\therefore 3 x+2 y-1=0$
Hence, the equations of the required lines are
$
x+3 y-5=0 \text { and } 3 x+2 y-1=0
$
$\therefore$ their combined equation is
$
(x+3 y-5)(3 x+2 y-1)=0
$
$
\therefore 3 x^2+2 x y-x+9 x y+6 y^2-3 y-15 x-10 y+5=0
$
$\therefore 3 x^2+11 x y+6 y^2-16 x-13 y+5=0$

Answer$\text { Let } \overline{ a }=\hat{ j }+2 \widehat{ k }$ and $ \overline{ b }=\hat{ i }+\hat{ j }$
Then $\overline{ a } \times \overline{ b }=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}\hat{ i } & \hat{ j } & \widehat{ k } \\ 0 & 1 & 2 \\ 1 & 1 & 0\end{array}\right|$
$=(0-2) \hat{ i }-(0-2) \hat{ j }+(0-1) \widehat{ k }$
$=-2 \hat{ i }+2 \hat{ j }-\widehat{ k }$
$\therefore|\overline{ a } \times \overline{ b }|=\sqrt{(-2)^2+2^2+(-1)^2}$
$=\sqrt{4+4+1}$
$=\sqrt{9}$
$=3$
$\therefore$ Unit vector perpendicular to both $\overline{ a }$ and $\overline{ b }$
$= \pm \frac{\overline{ a } \times \overline{ b }}{|\overline{ a } \times \overline{ b }|}= \pm\left(\frac{-2 \hat{ i }+2 \hat{ j }-\widehat{ k }}{3}\right)$
$= \pm\left(\frac{2}{3} \hat{ i }-\frac{2}{3} \hat{ j }+\frac{1}{3} \widehat{ k }\right)$

Find the differential equation of family of all ellipse whose major axis is twice the minor axis
AnswerLet the equation of ellipse be
$\frac{x^2}{ a ^2}+\frac{y^2}{ b ^2}=1\ldots(i)$
Since the major axis is twice the minor axis,
$ 2 a=2(2 b)$
$\therefore a=2 b\ldots(ii) $
Substituting (ii) in (i), we get
$\frac{x^2}{(2 b )^2}+\frac{y^2}{ b ^2}=1$
$\therefore \frac{x^2}{4 b ^2}+\frac{y^2}{ b ^2}=1$
$\therefore x ^2+4 y ^2=4 b ^2$
Differentiating w.r.t. $x$, we get
$2 x+8 y \frac{ d y}{ d x}=0$
$\therefore x+4 y \frac{ d y}{ d x}=0$, where is the required differential equation.

Solve the differential equation $\frac{ d y}{ d x}= e ^{( x + y )}+ x ^2 e ^{ y }$
Answer$ \frac{ d y}{ d x}= e ^{( x + y )}+ x ^2 e ^{ y }$
$\therefore \frac{ d y}{ d x}= e ^{ x } \cdot e ^{ y }+ x ^2 e ^{ y }$
$\therefore \frac{ d y}{ d x}= e ^{ y }\left( e ^{ x }+ x ^2\right)$
$\therefore \frac{ d y}{ e ^y}=\left( e ^{ x }+ x ^2\right) dx $
Integrating on both sides, we get
$ \int_{ e }^{-y} d y=\int\left( e ^x+x^2\right) d x$
$\therefore \frac{ e ^{-y}}{-1}= e ^x+\frac{x^3}{3}+ c _1$
$\therefore e ^{- y }=- e ^x-\frac{x^3}{3}- c _1$
$\therefore e ^{-y}+ e ^x+\frac{x^3}{3}= c , \text { where } c = c _1 $

Solve the differential equation $\sec ^2 y \tan x d y+\sec ^2 x \tan y d x=0$
Answer$\sec ^2 y \tan x d y+\sec ^2 x \tan y d x=0$
Dividing both sides by $\tan x \tan y$, we get
$ \frac{\sec ^2 y \tan x}{\tan x \tan y} d y+\frac{\sec ^2 x \tan y}{\tan x \tan y} d x=0$
$\therefore \frac{\sec ^2 x}{\tan x} d x+\frac{\sec ^2 y}{\tan y} d y=0 $
Integrating on both sides, we get
$ \int \frac{\sec ^2 x}{\tan x} d x+\int \frac{\sec ^2 y}{\tan y} d y=0$
$\therefore \log |\tan x |+\log |\tan y |=\log | c |$
$\therefore \log |\tan x \cdot \tan y |=\log | c |$
$\therefore \tan x \tan y = c $

Form the differential equation of $y = (c_1 + c_2)e^x$
Answer$ y=\left(c_1+c_2\right) e^x$
$=A e^x, \quad \ldots(i) $
Where $A=\left(c_1+c_2\right)$
Here, A is an arbitrary constant.
Differentiating (i) w.r.t. x, we get
$ \frac{ d y}{ d x}= Ae ^{ x }$
$\therefore \frac{ d y}{d x}= y \quad \ldots . .[\text { From (i)] } $
