Question 21 Mark
If $\left[\begin{array}{lll}x & -5 & -1\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{lll}1 & 0 & 2 \\ 0 & 2 & 1 \\ 2 & 0 & 3\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{l}x \\ 4 \\ 1\end{array}\right]=0$, then the value of $x$ is
Answer
$(c) \pm 4 \sqrt{3}$
Explanation: 
Given, $\left[\begin{array}{lll}x & -5 & -1\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{lll}1 & 0 & 2 \\ 0 & 2 & 1 \\ 2 & 0 & 3\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{l}x \\ 4 \\ 1\end{array}\right]=0$
$\Rightarrow x \times 1+(-5) \times 0+(-1) \times 2 x \times 0+(-5) \times 2+(-1) \times 0$
$x \times 2+(-5) \times 1+(-1) \times 3]\left[\begin{array}{l}x \\ 4 \\ 1\end{array}\right]=0$
$\Rightarrow\left[\begin{array}{lll}x-2 -10 2 x-8\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{l}x \\ 4 \\ 1\end{array}\right]=0$
$\Rightarrow[( x -2) \times x +(-10) \times 4+(2 x -8) \times 1]=0$
$\Rightarrow x ^2-2 x -40+2 x -8=0$
$\Rightarrow x ^2=48$
$\Rightarrow x= \pm \sqrt{48}= \pm 4 \sqrt{3}$

Question 31 Mark
If $A$ and $B$ are independent events such that $P ( A )=\frac{1}{5}, P ( A \cup B )=\frac{7}{10},$ then what is $P (\bar{B})$ equal to?
Answer
$(a)\ \frac{3}{8}$
Explanation : Given that,
$P ( A )=\frac{1}{5}, P ( A \cup B )=\frac{7}{10}$
Also$, A$ and $B$ are independent events,
$\therefore P ( A \cap B )= P ( A ) \cdot P ( B )$
$\Rightarrow P ( A )+ P ( B )- P ( A \cup B )= P ( A ) \cdot P ( B )$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{5}+ P ( B )-\frac{7}{10}=\frac{1}{5} \times P ( B )$
$\Rightarrow P ( B )-\frac{P(B)}{5}=\frac{7}{10}-\frac{1}{5}=\frac{5}{10}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{4 P(B)}{5}=\frac{1}{2}$
$ \Rightarrow P ( B )=\frac{5}{8}$
$\therefore P(\bar{B})=1- P ( B )$
$=1-\frac{5}{8}=\frac{3}{8}$

Question 41 Mark
If $y =\tan ^{-1} \frac{\cos x}{1+\sin x}$ then $\frac{d y}{d x}=$ ?
Answer
$(d) \frac{-1}{2}$
Explanation : Given that $y=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{\cos x}{1+\sin x}\right)$
Using $\cos x=\cos ^2 \frac{x}{2}-\sin ^2 \frac{x}{2}, \sin x$
$=2 \sin \frac{x}{2} \cos \frac{x}{2}$ and $\cos ^2 \theta+\sin ^2 \theta=1$
Therefore,
$y=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{\cos ^2 \frac{x}{2}-\sin ^2 \frac{x}{2}}{\cos ^2 \frac{x}{2}+\sin ^2 \frac{x}{2}+2 \sin \frac{x}{2} \cos \frac{x}{2}}\right)=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{\left(\cos \frac{x}{2}-\sin \frac{x}{2}\right)\left(\cos \frac{x}{2}+\sin \frac{x}{2}\right)}{\left(\cos \frac{x}{2}+\sin \frac{x}{2}\right)^2}\right)$
$\Rightarrow y =\tan ^{-1} \frac{\cos \frac{x}{2}-\sin \frac{x}{2}}{\cos \frac{x}{2}+\sin \frac{x}{2}}$
Dividing by $\cos \frac{x}{2}$ in numerator and denominator, we get
$y=\tan ^{-1} \frac{1-\tan \frac{x}{2}}{1+\tan \frac{x}{2}}$
Using $\tan \left(\frac{\pi}{4}-x\right)=\frac{1-\tan x}{1+\tan x}$, we obtain
$y=\tan ^{-1} \tan \left(\frac{\pi}{4}-\frac{x}{2}\right)$
$=\frac{\pi}{4}-\frac{x}{2}$
Differentiating with respect to $x,$ we
$\frac{d y}{d x}=-\frac{1}{2}$

Question 51 Mark
If $A=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}1 & 0 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 & 2 \\ 3 & -1 & 9\end{array}\right|$, then the value of $\operatorname{det}(\operatorname{Adj}(\operatorname{Adj} A))$ equals
Answer
$(a)\ 14641$
Explanation: We know that, for a square matrix of order $n,$ if $|A| \neq 0$
$\operatorname{Adj}(\operatorname{Adj} A)=|A|^{n-2} A\ (\because n=3)$
$\therefore \operatorname{Adj}(\operatorname{Adj} A)=|A|^{3-2} A\ (\because n=3)$
$=| A | A$
$\therefore\left|\operatorname{Adj}(\operatorname{Adj} A )=\left|| A | A \|=| A |^3 \operatorname{det} A\right| A \right|^4$
$=11^4=14641$

Question 61 Mark
The cartesian equation of a line is given by $\frac{2 x-1}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{y+2}{2}=\frac{z-3}{3}$ The direction cosines of the line is
Answer
$(c)\ \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{55}}, \frac{4}{\sqrt{55}}, \frac{6}{\sqrt{55}}$
Explanation: Rewrite the given line as
$r \frac{2\left(x-\frac{1}{2}\right)}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{y+2}{2}=\frac{z-3}{3}$
$\text { or } \frac{x-\frac{1}{2}}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{y+2}{4}=\frac{z-3}{6}$
$\therefore\ DR\ 's$ of line are $\sqrt{3}, 4$ and $6$
Therefore, direction cosines are :
$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{(\sqrt{3})^2+4^2+6^2}}, \frac{4}{\sqrt{(\sqrt{3})^2+4^2+6^2}}, \frac{6}{\sqrt{(\sqrt{3})^2+4^2+6^2}}$ or $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{55}}, \frac{4}{\sqrt{55}}, \frac{6}{\sqrt{55}}$

Question 91 Mark
The vector in the direction of the vector $\hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+2 \hat{k}$ that has magnitude 9 is
Answer
(b) $3(\hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+2 \hat{k})$
Explanation: Let $\vec{a}=\hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+2 \hat{k}$
Unit vector in the direction of a vector a
$=\frac{\vec{a}}{|\vec{a}|}=\frac{\hat{i}-2 \hat{j}+2 \hat{k}}{\sqrt{1^2+2^2+2^2}}=\frac{i-2 \hat{j}+2 \hat{k}}{3}$
∴ Vector in the direction of a with magnitude 9
$=9 \cdot \frac{i-2 j+2 k}{3}=3(i-2 j+2 k)$.

Question 101 Mark
If $|\vec{a} \times \vec{b}|=4,|\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}|=2$, then $|\vec{a}|^2|\vec{b}|^2=$
Answer
$(b) 20$
Explanation: We know that
$(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b})^2+(\vec{a} \times \vec{b})^2=|\vec{a}|^2|\vec{b}|^2$
$|\vec{a}|^2 \cdot|\vec{b}|^2=2^2+4^4$
$|\vec{a}|^2 \cdot|\vec{b}|^2=20$

Answer
$(a)$ at infinite number of points
Explanation :
Image
Feasible region is shaded region with corner points $(0, 0), (2, 0)$ and $(0, 2)$
$Z(0, 0) = 0$
$ Z (2,0)=2 \longleftarrow \text { maximise }
$
$Z (0,2)=2 \longleftarrow \text { maximise }$
$Z _{\max }=2$ obtained at $(2,0)$ and $(0,2)$
So is obtained at any point on line segment joining $(2,0)$ and $(0,2)$.

Question 121 Mark
If A and B are invertible matrices, then which of the following is not correct?
Answer
(b) $( A + B )^{-1}= B ^{-1}+ A ^{-1}$
Explanation: Since, A and B are invertible matrices.
$(AB)^{-1}=B^{-1} A^{-1} \ldots(i)$
We know that, $A ^{-1}=\frac{1}{|A|}(\operatorname{adj} A )$
$\Rightarrow \operatorname{adj} A =| A | \cdot A ^{-1} \ldots( ii )$
Also, $\operatorname{det}(A)^{-1}=[\operatorname{det}(A)]^{-1}$
$\Rightarrow \operatorname{det}( A )^{-1}=\frac{1}{\mid \operatorname{det}(A)]}$
$\Rightarrow \operatorname{det}( A ) \cdot \operatorname{det}( A )^{-1}=1 \ldots$ (iii)
Which is true,
So, only option d is incorrect.

Question 171 Mark
$\int_0^{\pi / 2} \frac{\cos x}{(2+\sin x)(1+\sin x)} d x$ equals
Answer
$(c) \log \left(\frac{4}{3}\right)$
Explanation : $\log \left(\frac{4}{3}\right)$
Let $I=\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\cos x}{(2+\sin x)(1+\sin x)} d x$
Let $\sin x = t$ then $\cos x\  dx = dt$
When $x =0, t =0 x =\frac{\pi}{2}, t =1$
Therefore the integral becomes
$I=\int_0^1 \frac{d t}{(2+t)(1+t)}$
$=\int_0^1\left[\frac{-1}{2+t}+\frac{1}{1+t}\right] d t$
$=[-\log (2+t)+\log (1+t)]_0^1$
$=[\log (1+t)-\log (2+t)]_0^1$
$=\log 2-\log 3-\log 1+\log 2$
$=\log \frac{4}{3}$
