$\lim_\limits{\text{x} \rightarrow \text{a}}\frac{\text{x}-\text{a}}{|\text{x}-\text{a}|}=$
  • A
    0
  • B
    1
  • C
    -1
  • D
    does not exist
Answer
  1. does not exist

Solution:

Using,

$ \lim_\limits{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}|\text{x}|=-\text{x}$

$ \lim_\limits{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}|\text{x}|=+\text{x}$

we get $\lim_\limits{\text{x} \rightarrow \text{a}}-\frac{\text{x}-\text{a}}{-(\text{x}-\text{a})}=-1$

$\lim_\limits{\text{x} \rightarrow \text{a}}+\frac{\text{x}-\text{a}}{-(\text{x}-\text{a})}=-1$

Since, LHL is not equal to RHL, hence the limit does not exist.

MCQ 31 Mark
If $\text{y}=\frac{\sin(\text{x}+9)}{\cos\text{x}},$ then $\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}$ at x = 0 is:
  • A
    $\cos9$
  • B
    $\sin9$
  • C
    $0$
  • D
    $1$
Answer
  1. $\cos9$ 

Solution:

$\text{y}=\frac{\sin(\text{x}+9)}{\cos\text{x}}$

Differentiate both the sides with respect to x, we get

$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{(\cos\text{x})\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}\sin(\text{x}+9)-\sin(\text{x}+9)\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(\cos\text{x})}{\cos^2\text{x}}$ (Quotient rule)

$=\frac{(\cos\text{x})(\cos(\text{x}+9))-(\sin(\text{x}+9))(-\sin\text{x})}{\cos^2\text{x}}$

$=\frac{(\cos\text{x})(\cos(\text{x}+9))+(\sin(\text{x}+9))(\sin\text{x})}{\cos^2\text{x}}$

$=\frac{\cos(\text{x}+9-\text{x})}{\cos^2\text{x}}$

$=\frac{\cos9}{\cos^2\text{x}}$

Thus, $\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}$ at x = 0 is $\cos9$

Solution:

This is of the form $\frac{0}{0}$, therefore we use L ’Hospital’ s rule and differentiate the numerator and

denominator.

$ =\lim_\limits{a \rightarrow b} \frac{\text{2sin}\text{x cos}+\cos\text{x}\sqrt{\text{2}}}{\text{2x}−4\text{x}}$

$= \frac{0+\sqrt{2}}{-4}$

What is the value of ddx (sin⁡ x3 cos⁡ x2)?
Answer
  1. $\text{3x}2\ \text{cos}⁡ \ \text{2} \cos⁡ \text{x3} – \text{2x} \sin⁡\ \text{x3 sin x2}$

Solution:

We follow product rule $\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(\text{f}.\text{g}.)=\text{g}.\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(\text{f})+\text{f}.\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}(\text{g})$

Here $ \text{f} = \sin⁡ \text{x}3 \text{ and g} = \cos⁡\text{x}2$

$\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}} (\text{f}) = \text{3x2} \text{ cos⁡ x3}$

$\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}} (\text{g}) = -2\text{x}\ \sin \text{x}^2$

We now substitute this in our main equation,

$= \text{cos⁡ x2 .3x2 cos⁡ x3 + sin⁡ x3.(-2x sin x2)}$

$=\text{ 3x2 cos x2 cos⁡ x3 – 2x sin⁡ x3 sin x2}$

Let f(x) = (x - a) (x - b) (x - c), a < b < c. Then f(x) = 0 has two roots. At which interval does these roots belongs?
  • A
    Both the roots in (a, b)
  • B
    At least one root in (a, b) and at least one root in (b, c)
  • C
    Both the roots in (b, c)
  • D
    Neither in (a, b) nor in (b, c)
Answer
  1. At least one root in (a, b) and at least one root in (b, c)

Solution:

f(x) being a polynomial is continuous and differentiable for all real values of x.

We also have f(a) = f(b) = f(c).

If we apply Rolle’s theorem to f(x) in [a, b] and [b, c] we will observe that f(x) = 0

will have at least one root in (a, b) and at least one root in (b, c).

But f(x) is a polynomial of degree two, so that f(x) = 0

can’t have more than two roots. It implies that exactly one root of f(x) = 0

will lie in (a, b) and exactly one root of f(x) = 0 will lie in (b, c).
Let y = f(x) be a polynomial function of degree n. If f(x) = 0 has real roots only,

then f(x) = 0, f(x) = 0, … , fn-1(x) = 0 will have real roots.

It is in fact the general version of above mentioned application,

because if f(x) = 0 have all real roots, then between two consecutive roots of f(x) = 0,

exactly one root of f(x) = 0 will lie.

  • A
    $\text{x}^{2}-6\text{x}+9=0$ 
  • B
    $\text{x}^{2}-7\text{x}+8=0$ 
  • C
    $\text{x}^{2}+14\text{x}+49=0$ 
  • D
    $\text{x}^{2}-10\text{x}+21=0$ 
Answer
  1. $\text{x}^{2}-10\text{x}+21=0$

Solution:

Given $\text{f}(\text{x})=\begin{cases}\text{x}^{2}-1 & 0<\text{x}<2\\2\text{x}+3, & 2\geq\text{3}<3\end{cases}$ 

$\therefore\ \lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 2}\text{f}(\text{x})=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 2^{-}}(\text{x}^{2}-1)$

$ \lim\limits_{\text{h} \rightarrow 0}[(2-\text{x})^{2}-1]=\lim\limits_{\text{h} \rightarrow 0}(4+\text{h}^{2}-4\text{h}-1)$

$ =\lim\limits_{\text{h} \rightarrow 0}(\text{h}^{2}-4\text{h}+3)=3$

$\therefore\ \lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 2}\text{f}(\text{x})=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 2^{+}}(2\text{x}+3)$

$ =\lim\limits_{\text{h} \rightarrow 0}[2(2+\text{h})+3]=7$

Therefore, the quadratic equation whose roots are 3 and 7 is $\text{x}^{2}-10\text{x}+21=0$

The value of n in the expansion of (a + b)n if the first three terms of the expansion are 729, 7290 and 30375, respectively is:
  • A
    2
  • B
    4
  • C
    6
  • D
    8
Answer
  1. 6

Solution:

Given that the first three terms of the expansion are 729, 7290 and 30375 respectively.

Now T1 = nC0 × an - 0 × b0 = 729

⇒ an = 729 ................ 1

T2 = nC1 × an - 1 × b1 = 7290

⇒ n

an - 1 × b = 7290 ....... 2

T3 = nC2 × an - 2 × b² = 30375

$ ⇒ \text{n}\frac{(\text{n}-1)}{2}$

an - 2 × b² = 30375 ....... 3

Now equation 2, equation 1

n

$=\text{a}^{\text{n}-1}\times\text{b}=\frac{7290}{729}$

⇒ $\frac{\text{n}×\text{b}}{\text{n}} = 10 ....... 4$

Now equation 3, equation 2

$ ⇒ \text{n}\frac{(\text{n}-1)}{2}$

$ \text{an}-2 × \frac{\text{b}^2}{\text{n}}$

$=\text{a}^{\text{n}-1}\times\text{b}=\frac{30375}{7290}$

$ ⇒ \text{n}\frac{(\text{n}-1)}{\text{2a}}=​​\frac{30375\times2}{7290}$

$ ⇒ \text{n}\frac{(\text{n}-1)}{\text{a}}=​​\frac{30375\times2}{7290}$

$ ⇒ \text{n}\frac{(\text{n}-1)}{\text{a}}-\frac{\text{b}}{\text{a}} = \frac{60750}{7290}$ 

$ ⇒ 10 - \frac{\text{b}}{\text{a}} = \frac{60750}{729}$ $$(60750 and 7290 is divided by 10)

$ ⇒ 10 - \frac{\text{b}}{\text{a}} = \frac{25}{3}$ (6075 and 729 is divided by 243)

$\Rightarrow 10 -\frac{25}{3} = \frac{\text{b}}{\text{a}}$

$ ⇒\frac{(30-25)}{3} = \frac{\text{b}}{\text{a}}$

$⇒ \frac{5}{3} =\frac{\text{b}}{\text{a}} $

$⇒\frac{\text{b}}{\text{a}} = \frac{5}{3}\ \dots\dots (5)$

Put this value in equation 4, we get

$\text{n} × \frac{5}{3} = 10$

$\Rightarrow 5\text{n} = 30$

$ ⇒ \text{n} = \frac{30}{5}$

$\Rightarrow \text{n} = 6$

So, the value of n is 6.

  • A
    7
  • B
    9
  • C
    49
  • D
    81
Answer
  1. 49

Solution:

Given, 23n - 7n - 1 = 23 × n - 7n - 1

= 8n - 7n - 1

= (1 + 7)n - 7n - 1

= {nC0 + nC1 7 + nC2 7² + ........ + nCn 7n} - 7n - 1

= {1 + 7n + nC2 7² + ........ + nCn 7n} - 7n - 1

nC2 7² + ........ + nCn 7n

= 49(nC2 + ........ + nCn 7n - 2)

which is divisible by 49

So, 23n - 7n - 1 is divisible by 49

  • C
    $1$
  • D
    $0$  
Answer
  1. $\frac{5}{4}$

Solution:

$\text{f}(\text{x})=\frac{\text{x}-4}{2\sqrt{\text{x}}}$

$=\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\text{x}}-\frac{2}{\sqrt{\text{x}}}$

$=\frac{1}{2}\text{x}^{\frac{1}{2}}-\text{2x}^{-\frac{1}{2}}$

Differentiate both the sides with respect to x, we get 

$\text{f}'(\text{x})=\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{2}\text{x}^{\frac{1}{2}-1}-2\times\Big(-\frac{1}{2}\Big)\text{x}^{-\frac{1}{2}-1}\ [\text{f}(\text{x})=\text{x}^\text{n}\Rightarrow\text{f}'(\text{x})=\text{nx}^{\text{n}-1}]$

$\Rightarrow\text{f}'(\text{x})=\frac{1}{4}\text{x}^{-\frac{1}{2}}+\text{x}^{-\frac{3}{2}}$

Solution:

$\text{y}=\sqrt{\text{x}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{\text{x}}}$

$=\text{x}^{\frac{1}{2}}+\text{x}^{-\frac{1}{2}}$

Differentiate both the sides with respect to x, we get

Solution:

$\text{y}=\frac{\sin\text{x}+\cos\text{x}}{\sin\text{x}-\cos\text{x}}$

Differentiate both the sides with respect to x, we get

$=\frac{(\sin\text{x}-\cos\text{x})(\cos\text{x}-\sin\text{x})-(\sin\text{x}+\cos\text{x})(\cos\text{x}+\sin\text{x})}{(\sin\text{x}-\cos\text{x})^2}$

$=\frac{-1+2\cos\text{x}\sin\text{x}-1-2\sin\text{x}\cos\text{x}}{(\sin\text{x}-\cos\text{x})^2}$

$=\frac{-2}{(\sin\text{x}-\cos\text{x})^2}$

Putting x = 0 is -2

$\Big(\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}\Big)_{\text{x}=0}=\frac{-2}{(\sin0-\cos0)}=\frac{-2}{(0-1)^2}=-2$

What is the value of (x + y)2 y if x = et sint and y = et cost?
  • A
    12(y + y)
  • B
    2(y - y)
  • C
    2(xy + y)
  • D
    2(xy - y)
Answer
  1. 2(xy - y)

Solution:

Since, x = et sint and y = et cost Therefore,

$ \frac{\text{dx}}{\text{dt}} $ = et sint + et cost = y + x And,

$ \frac{\text{dx}}{\text{dt}} $ = et cost - et sint = y - x So,

$=\text{y}= \frac{\text{dx}}{\text{dt}} $

$ =\frac{(\frac{dy}{dt})}{(\frac{dx}{dt})}$

$ = \frac{(\text{y} - \text{x})}{(\text{y} + \text{x})}$

Thus, $\text{y}= \frac{[(\text{x} + \text{y})(\text{y} - 1) - (\text{y} - \text{x})(\text{y} + 1)]}{(\text{x} + \text{y})^2}$

Or, (x + y)2 y = (x + y - y + x)y - x - y + x = 2xy - 2y = 2(xy - y) 10.

$\therefore\text{f}(\text{x})=\frac{1}{2}\bigg[\frac{\sqrt{\text{x}.}1-(\text{x}-4).\frac{1}{2\sqrt{\text{x}}}}{\text{x}}\bigg]$

$=\frac{1}{2}\Big[\frac{2\text{x}-\text{x}+4}{2\sqrt{\text{x}.\text{x}}}\Big]$

$=\frac{1}{2}\Bigg[\frac{\text{x}+4}{2(\text{x})^{\frac{3}{2}}}\Bigg]$

$\therefore\text{f}(\text{x})\ \text{x}=1=\frac{1}{2}\Big[\frac{1+4}{2\times1}\Big]=\frac{5}{4}$

 What is the value of $\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}} (\text{e}^{\text{x}} \tan \text{x}) \text{at } \text{x} = 0?$
  • A
    0
  • B
    1
  • C
    -1
  • D
    2
Answer
  1. 1

Solution:

We need to use product rule in both the terms to get the answer.

$\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}} (\text{f.g}) = \text{g}.\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}} (\text{f})+ (\text{f}).\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}} (\text{g})$

Here f = ex and g = tan ⁡x

$ \frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}} (\text{e}^{\text{x}} \tan \text{x}) = \tan⁡ \text{x}.\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}} (\text{e}^{\text{x}}) + \text{e}^{\text{x}}.\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(\tan ⁡\text{x})$

$\frac{d}{dx} (\text{e}^{\text{x}} \tan \text{x}) = \tan⁡ \text{e}^{\text{x}} + \text{e}^{\text{x}}.\sec2\text {⁡x}$

At x = 0 we get,

$ = \tan ⁡0.\text{e}0 + \text{e}0.\sec2⁡0$

= 0.(1) + 1.(1)

= 1

Answer
  1. 1

Solution:

Since it is of the form $ \frac{∞}{∞}$

we use L 'Hospital' s rule and differentiate the numerator and denominator

$\text{L}=\lim_{\text{x} \rightarrow \infty}\frac{\text{x}^2-9}{\text{x}^2-3\text{x} +2}$

On differentiating once, we get $\text{L}=\lim_{\text{x} \rightarrow \infty}\frac{2\text{x}}{2\text{x}}$

Which is equal to, $\lim_{\text{x} \rightarrow \infty}1 = 1.$

If $\text{f}(\text{x})=\text{x}-[\text{x}],\in\text{R}$ then $\text{f}'\big(\frac{1}{2}\big)$ is equal to:
  • A
    $\frac{3}{2}$ 
  • B
    $1$ 
  • C
    $0$ 
  • D
    $-1$
Answer
  1. 1

Solution:

Given f(x) = x - [x]

we have ti first check for differentiability of f(x) at $\text{x}=\frac{1}{2}$

$\therefore \text{Lf}'\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)=\text{LHD}=\lim\limits_{\text{h} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\text{f}\big[\frac{1}{2}-\text{h}\big]-\text{f}\big[\frac{1}{2}\big]}{-\text{h}}$

$=\lim\limits_{\text{h} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\big(\frac{1}{2}-\text{h}\big)-\big[\frac{1}{2}-\text{h}\big]-\frac{1}{2}+\big[\frac{1}{2}\big]}{-\text{h}}$

$=\lim\limits_{\text{h} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\frac{1}{2}-\text{h}-0-\frac{1}{2}+0}{-\text{h}}=\frac{-\text{h}}{-\text{h}}=1$

$\therefore \text{Rf}'\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)=\text{RHD}=\lim\limits_{\text{h} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\text{f}\big[\frac{1}{2}-\text{h}\big]-\text{f}\big[\frac{1}{2}\big]}{\text{h}}$

$=\lim\limits_{\text{h} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\big(\frac{1}{2}+\text{h}\big)-\big[\frac{1}{2}+\text{h}\big]-\frac{1}{2}+\big[\frac{1}{2}\big]}{-\text{h}}$

$=\lim\limits_{\text{h} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\frac{1}{2}+\text{h}-1-\frac{1}{2}+1}{\text{h}}=\frac{\text{h}}{\text{h}}=1$

Since, LHD = RHD

$\text{f}'\big(\frac{1}{2}\big)=1$

What is the number of critical points of $\text{f}(\text{x}) = \frac{|\text{x}^2 - 1|}{ \text{x}^2} ?$
  • A
    0
  • B
    1
  • C
    2
  • D
    3
Answer
  1. 2

Solution:

f(x) is not differentiable at x = 1 and x = -1

And x = 0 is not a critical point not in the domain.

Therefore 1 and -1 are critical points.

Thus, there are 2 critical points.

Choose the correct answer.
If $\begin{cases}\frac{\sin[\text{x}]}{[\text{x}]} & \text{x}\neq0\\0, & [\text{x}]=0\end{cases}$ where [.] denotes the greatest integer function. then $\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\text{f}(\text{x})$ is equal to :
  • A
    1
  • B
    0
  • C
    -1
  • D
    None of these.
Answer
  1. None of these.

Solution:

Given $\begin{cases}\frac{\sin[\text{x}]}{[\text{x}]} & \text{x}\neq0\\0, & [\text{x}]=0\end{cases}$ 

$\text{L}.\text{H}.\text{H}=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\sin[\text{x}]}{[\text{x}]}=\lim\limits_{\text{h} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\sin[0-\text{h}]}{[0-\text{h}]} $

$=\lim\limits_{\text{h} \rightarrow 0}\frac{-\sin[\text{-h}]}{[-\text{h}]}=-1$

$\text{R}.\text{H}.\text{L}=\lim\limits_{\text{x} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\sin[\text{x}]}{[\text{x}]}=\lim\limits_{\text{h} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\sin[0+\text{h}]}{[0+\text{h}]}=\lim\limits_{\text{h} \rightarrow 0}\frac{\sin[\text{h}]}{[\text{h}]}=1$

$\text{L}.\text{H}.\text{L}\neq\text{R}.\text{H}.\text{L}$

So, the limit does not exist.
