If $\cos A = m \cos B$, then $\cot \frac{A+B}{2} \cot \frac{B-A}{2}=$
  • A
    $\frac{m-1}{m+1}$
  • B
    $\frac{m-2}{m+2}$
  • C
    $\frac{m+2}{m-2}$
  • D
    $\frac{m+1}{m-1}$
Answer
(d) $\frac{m+1}{m-1}$
Explanation: Given:
cos A = m cos B 
$\begin{array}{l}\Rightarrow \frac{\cos A}{\cos B}=\frac{m}{1} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{\cos A+\cos B}{\cos A-\cos B}=\frac{m+1}{m-1} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{2 \cos \left(\frac{A+B}{2}\right) \cos \left(\frac{A-B}{2}\right)}{-2 \sin \left(\frac{A+B}{2}\right) \sin \left(\frac{A-B}{2}\right)}=\frac{m+1}{m-1}\left[\because \cos A+\cos B =2 \cos \left(\frac{A-B}{2}\right) \cos \left(\frac{A+B}{2}\right) \text { and } \cos A -\cos B =-2 \sin \left(\frac{A+B}{2}\right) \cos \right. \\ \left.\left(\frac{A-B}{2}\right)\right] \\ \Rightarrow \frac{\cos \left(\frac{A-B}{2}\right) \cos \left(\frac{A+B}{2}\right)}{-\sin \left(\frac{A+B}{2}\right) \sin \left(\frac{A-B}{2}\right)}=\frac{m+1}{m-1} \\ \Rightarrow-\cot \left(\frac{A+B}{2}\right) \cot \left(\frac{A-B}{2}\right)=\frac{m+1}{m-1} \\ \Rightarrow \cot \left(\frac{A+B}{2}\right) \cot \left(\frac{A-B}{2}\right)=\frac{1+m}{1-m}\end{array}$

Mark the Correct alternative in the following: $8 \sin \frac{x}{8} \cos \frac{x}{2} \cos \frac{x}{4} \cos \frac{x}{8}$ is equal to
  • A
    sin x
  • B
    8 cos x
  • C
    cos x
  • D
    8 sin x
Answer
(a) $\sin x$
Explanation: $8 \sin \frac{x}{8} \cos \frac{x}{2} \cos \frac{x}{4} \cos \frac{x}{8}$
$\begin{array}{l}4\left(2 \sin \frac{x}{8} \cos \frac{x}{8}\right) \cos \frac{x}{2} \cos \frac{x}{4} \quad \text { [by rearranging terms] } \\ 4\left(2 \sin \frac{x}{8} \cos \frac{x}{8}\right) \cos \frac{x}{2} \cos \frac{x}{4} \quad \text { [using the formula } \sin 2 \theta=2 \sin \theta \cos \theta \text { ] }\end{array}$
$\begin{array}{l}=4\left(\sin \frac{x}{4}\right) \cos \frac{x}{2} \cos \frac{x}{4} \\ =2\left(2 \sin \frac{x}{4} \cos \frac{x}{4}\right) \cos \frac{x}{2} \\ =2\left(\sin \frac{2 x}{4}\right) \cos \frac{x}{2} \\ =\left(2 \sin \frac{x}{2} \cos \frac{x}{2}\right) \\ =\sin x\end{array}$
Hence $\sin \frac{x}{8} \cos \frac{x}{2} \cos \frac{x}{4} \cos \frac{x}{8}=\sin x$

MCQ 81 Mark
The sum of first 10 terms of a G.P. is equal to 244 times the sum of its first five terms. Then the common ratio is
  • A
    7
  • B
    5
  • C
    4
  • D
    3
Answer
(d) 3
Explanation: Let r be the common ratio of the G.P. 
Given $S _{10}=244 S_5$
$\Rightarrow \frac{S_{10}}{S_5}=244$
We have $S_n=\frac{a\left(r^n-1\right)}{r-1}$
$\begin{array}{l}\Rightarrow \frac{\frac{a\left(r^{10}-1\right)}{r-1}}{\frac{a\left(r^5-1\right)}{r-1}}=244, r-1 \neq 0 \\ \Rightarrow \frac{r^{10}-1}{r^5-1}=244 \\ \Rightarrow r^{10}-1-244 r^5+244=0 \\ \Rightarrow\left(r^5\right)^2-244 r^5+243=0 \\ \Rightarrow(r 5)^2-243 r^5-1 r^5+243=0 \\ \Rightarrow r^5\left(r^5-1\right)-243\left(r^5-1\right)=0 \\ \Rightarrow r^5=243 \text { or } r^5=1\end{array}$
Since r - $1 \neq 0, r$ cannot be 1
$\Rightarrow r=\sqrt[5]{243}=3$

MCQ 91 Mark
Two finite sets have m and n elements respectively. The total number of subsets of first set is 56 more than the total number of subsets of the second set. The values of m and n respectively are.
  • A
    5, 1
  • B
    7, 6
  • C
    8, 7
  • D
    6, 3
Answer
(d) 6, 3
Explanation: Since, let A and B be such sets, i.e., n (A) = m, and  n(B) = n
Thus, $n ( P ( A ))=2^{ m }, n ( P ( B ))=2^{ n }$
Therefore, $n ( P ( A ))- n ( P ( B ))=56$, i.e., $2^{ m }-2^{ n }=56$
$\begin{array}{l}\Rightarrow 2^n\left(2^{m-n}-1\right)=2^3 7 \\ \Rightarrow n=3,2^{m-n}-1=7 \\ \Rightarrow m=6\end{array}$

MCQ 131 Mark
If $A=\left\{(x, y): x^2+y^2=25\right\}$ and $B=\left\{(x, y): x^2+9 y^2=144\right\}$ then $A \cap B$ contains
  • A
    three points
  • B
    two points
  • C
    one point
  • D
    four points
Answer
(d) four points
Explanation: From $A, x^2+y^2=25$ and from $B, x^2+9 y^2=144$
$\therefore$ From B, $\left(x^2+y^2\right)+8 y^2=144$
$\begin{array}{l}\Rightarrow 25+8 y^2=144 \\ \Rightarrow 8 y^2=119\end{array}$
$\Rightarrow y = \pm \sqrt{\frac{119}{8}}$
$\therefore x^2+y^2=25 \Rightarrow x^2=25-y^2=25-\frac{119}{8}=\frac{81}{8}$
$\Rightarrow x = \pm \sqrt{\frac{81}{8}}$
Since we solved equations simultaneously, therefore $A \cap B$ has four points A has 2 elements \& B has 2 elements.

If $\left(\frac{1+i}{1-i}\right)^x=1$, then
  • A
    x = 4n
  • B
    x = 2n
  • C
    x = 2n+1
  • D
    $x =4 n +1$, where $n \in N$
Answer
(a) x = 4n
Explanation: $\Rightarrow\left[\frac{(1+i)(1+i)}{(1-i)(1+i)}\right]^x=1 \Rightarrow\left[\frac{1+2 i+i^2}{1-i^2}\right]^x=1 \Rightarrow\left[\frac{2 i}{1+1}\right]^x=1$
$\begin{array}{l}\Rightarrow I ^{ x }=1 \\ \Rightarrow x =4 n , n \in N \end{array}$

The acute angle between the lines y = 2x and y = - 2x is
Answer
(c) less than $60^{\circ}$
Explanation: The angle between two straight lines is given by $\frac{\left|m_1-m_2\right|}{1+m_1 m_2}$

$\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{|\sin x|}{x}$ is equal to
  • A
    $0$
  • B
    Does not exist
  • C
    1
  • D
    -1
Answer
(b) Does not exist 
Explanation: Given, $\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{|\sin x|}{x}$
$\begin{array}{l} LHL =\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{-}} \frac{-\sin x}{x}=-1 \quad\left[\because \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin x}{x}=1\right] \\ RHL =\lim _{x \rightarrow 0^{+}} \frac{\sin x}{x}=1\end{array}$
LHL $\neq$ RHL, So the limit does not exist.
