Find the value of $\sec \left(\frac{-19 \pi}{3}\right)$.
  • A
    $\frac{1}{2}$
  • B
    -2
  • C
    2
  • D
    $\frac{-1}{2}$
Answer

MCQ 41 Mark
$\lim _{x \rightarrow 3} \frac{x-3}{|x-3|}$ is equal to:
  • A
    1
  • B
    -1
  • C
    $0$
  • D
    None of these
Answer
(d) None of these
Explanation: $\lim _{x \rightarrow 3} \frac{x-3}{|x-3|}$
LHL at x = 3
$\lim _{x \rightarrow 3^{-}} \frac{x-3}{-(x-3)}[\because|x-3|=-(x-3) x<3]$
= -1
RHL at x = 3
$\lim _{x \rightarrow 3^{+}} \frac{x-3}{x-3}[\therefore|x-3|=x-3$, when $x>3]$
= 1
$LHL \neq RHL$

    sin x
  • B
    cos x
  • C

  • A
    an irrational number
  • B
    a negative real number
  • C
    a rational number
  • D
    a negative integer
Answer

Substituting $r =1,2,3, \ldots, n$, we obtain
$\frac{C_1}{C_0}+2 \cdot \frac{C_2}{C_1}+3 \cdot \frac{C_3}{C_2}+\ldots+n \cdot \frac{C_n}{C_{n-1}}= n +( n -1)+( n -2)+\ldots+1=\frac{1}{2} n(n+1)$.

MCQ 101 Mark
Let $F_1$ be the set of parallelograms, $F_2$ the set of rectangles, $F_3$ the set of rhombuses, $F_4$ the set of squares and $F_5$ the set of trapeziums in a plane. Then $F _1$ may be equal to
  • A
    $F_2 \cap F_3$

    $F _3 \cap F_4$
  • C
    $F _2 \cup F_5$
  • D
    $F _2 \cup F_3 \cup F_4 \cup F_1$
Answer
(d) $F_2 \cup F_3 \cup F_4 \cup F_1$
Explanation: We know that
Every rectangle, square and rhombus is a parallelogram
But, no trapezium is a paralleogrm
Thus, $F_1=F_2 \cup F_3 \cup F_4 \cup F_1$

MCQ 111 Mark
Which is smaller, $\sin 64^{\circ}$ or $\cos 64^{\circ}$ ?
  • A
    $\cos 64^{\circ}$
  • B
    $\sin 64^{\circ}$
  • C
    cannot be compared
  • D
    both are equal
Answer
(a) $\cos 64^{\circ}$
Explanation: In quadrant $I , \sin \theta$ is increasing.
Now, $\cos 64^{\circ}=\cos \left(90^{\circ}-26^{\circ}\right)=\sin 26^{\circ}$.
Clearly, $\sin 26^{\circ}<\sin 64^{\circ} \Rightarrow \cos 64^{\circ}<\sin 64^{\circ}$

MCQ 121 Mark
If $y=\frac{1+\frac{1}{x^2}}{1-\frac{1}{x^2}}$ then $\frac{d y}{d x}$ is equal to
  • A
    $\frac{-4 x}{x^2-1}$
  • B
    $\frac{1-x^2}{4 x}$
  • C
    $\frac{-4 x}{\left(x^2-1\right)^2}$
  • D
    $\frac{4 x}{x^2-1}$
Answer
(c) $\frac{-4 x}{\left(x^2-1\right)^2}$
Explanation: Given $y=\frac{1+\frac{1}{x^2}}{1-\frac{1}{z^2}} \Rightarrow y=\frac{x^2+1}{x^2-1}$
$\therefore \quad \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{\left(x^2-1\right) \cdot 2 x-\left(x^2+1\right) \cdot 2 x}{\left(x^2-1\right)^2}$
$=\frac{2 x\left(x^2-1-x^2-1\right)}{\left(x^2-1\right)^2}=\frac{2 x(-2)}{\left(x^2-1\right)^2}=\frac{-4 x}{\left(x^2-1\right)^2}$

    19
  • B
    10
  • C
    12
  • D

MCQ 151 Mark
A line passes through P (1, 2) such that its intercept between the axes is bisected at P. The equation of the line is
  • A
    x + 2y = 5
  • B
    2x + y – 4 = 0
  • C
    x + y – 3 = 0
  • D
    x – y + 1 = 0
Answer
(b) 2x + y – 4 = 0
Explanation: We know that the equation of a line making intercepts a and b with x-axis and y-axis, respectively, is given by
$\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=1$
which give a = 2 and b = 4.
Thus, now we have to find the required equation of the line is given by $\frac{x}{2}+\frac{y}{4}=1$ or $2 x+y-4=0$

MCQ 161 Mark
If $f(x)=\frac{x^n-a^n}{x-a}$ for some constant, a, then $f ^{\prime}(a)$ is equal to
  • A
    $1 / 2$
  • B
    does not exist
  • C
    1
  • D
    $0$
Answer
(b) does not exist
Explanation: Given $f(x)=\frac{x^n-a^n}{x-a}$
$f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{(x-a)\left(n \cdot x^{n-1}\right)-\left(x^n-a^n\right) \cdot 1}{(x-a)^2}$
$\therefore \quad f^{\prime}(a)=\frac{(a-a)\left(n \cdot a^{n-1}\right)-\left(a^n-a^n\right)}{(a-a)^2}$
So $f^{\prime}(a)=\frac{0}{0}=$ does not exist
