(a) T, T
(b) T, F
(c) F, T
(d) F, F
Answer:
(b) T, F

(ii) In ∆ABC, if c² + a² – b² = ac, then ∠B = ………….. (2)
(a) $\frac{\pi}{4}$
(b) $\frac{\pi}{2}$
(c) $\frac{\pi}{3}$
(d) $\frac{\pi}{6}$
Answer:
$\frac{\pi}{3}$
c² + a² – b² = ac
ie., a² + c² – b² = ac ……. (1)
cos B = $\frac{a^2+c^2-b^2}{2 a c}$ [By cosine rule]
cos B = $\frac{a c}{2 a c}$ [From (1)]
∴ cos B = $\frac{1}{2}$
⇒ B = cos^-1$\frac{1}{2}$
⇒ B = 60° ⇒ B = $\frac{\pi}{3}$

(iii) The area of the triangle with vertices (1, 2, 0) (1, 0, 2) and (0, 3, 1) in sq. units is ……….. (2)
(a) $\sqrt{5}$
(b) $\sqrt{7}$
(c) $\sqrt{6}$
(d) $\sqrt{3}$
Answer:
(c) $\sqrt{6}$
A(1, 2, 0), B(1, 0, 2), C(0, 3,1)

(iv) If the corner points of the feasible solution are (0, 10), (2, 2) and (4, 0) then the point of minimum z = 3x + 2y is _____ (2)
(a) (2, 2)
(b) (0, 10)
(c) (4, 0)
(d) (3, 4)
Answer:
(a) (2, 2)
z = 3x + 2y
for (0, 10) ⇒ z = 3(0) + 2(10) = 20
for (2, 2) ⇒ z = (3)(2) + 2(2) = 10 MIN
for (4, 0) ⇒ z = (3)(4) + 2(0) = 12
Hence, minimum point of z = 3x + 2y is (2, 2)

(v) If y is a function of x and log (x + y) = 2xy, then the value of y’(0)…….. (2)
(a) 2
(b) 0
(c) -1
(d) 1
Answer:
(d) 1
Log(x + y) = 2xy
∴ log (x + y) – 2xy = 0
at x = 0 we get
log y = 0
∴ y = 1
Now, $\frac{d}{d x}$log(x + y) – $\frac{d}{d x}$2xy =0
$\frac{1}{(x+y)}$(1 + y’) – 2(xy’ + y) = 0
Now, when x = 0, y = 1 (From above)
(1 + y’) – 2(1) = 0
1 + y’ = 2
∴ y’ = 1
∴ at x = 0, y’ = 1

(vi) ∫cos³xdx = ____ (2)

Answer:
(a) $\frac{1}{12}$sin 3x + $\frac{3}{4}$ sinx + c

(vii) The solution of the differential equation $\frac{d x}{d t}$ = $\frac{x \log x}{t}$ is ……….. (2)
(a) x = e^ct
(b) x = e^ct + t
(c) x + e^ct = 0
(d) xe^ct = 0
Answer:
(a) x = e^ct
$\frac{d x}{x \log x}$ = $\frac{1}{t}$dt
Integrating on both sides
$\int \frac{1}{x \log x}$dx = $\int \frac{1}{t}$dt …… (1)
put log x = u ⇒ $\frac{1}{x}$dx = du
∴ From (1) we get
∫$\frac{1}{u}$du = log|u| + c = log(log x) + c …….. (2)
From (1) and (2)
log (log x) = log |t| + c
log (log x) = log ct
∴ x = e^ct

(viii) Let the probability mass function (p.m.f) of a random variable X be P(X = x) = ⁴C_x ($\frac{5}{9}$)^x × ($\frac{4}{9}$)^4-x, for x = 0.

(iii) Write ∫cot x dx
Answer:
I = ∫cot x dx
Let u = sin x
$\frac{d u}{d x}$ = cos x
du = cos x dx ……. (1)
I = ∫cot x dx
= $\int \frac{\cos x}{\sin x}$dx
= $\int \frac{d u}{u}$ [From (1)]
= log |u| + c
= log |sin x| + c

(iv) Write the degree of the differential equation
$e^{\frac{d y}{d x}}$ + $\frac{d y}{d x}$ = x

Answer:

Question 5.
Find the cartesian co-ordinates of the point whose polar co-ordinates are $\left(\sqrt{2}, \frac{\pi}{4}\right)$. (2)
Answer:
Given, r = $\sqrt{2}$, θ = $\frac{\pi}{4}$
Using x = r cos θ, y = r sin θ we get
x = $\sqrt{2}$cos θ, y = $\sqrt{2}$sin θ we get
x = $\sqrt{2}$cos$\frac{\pi}{4}$, y = $\sqrt{2}$sin$\frac{\pi}{4}$
∴ x = $\sqrt{2}$ × $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$, y = $\sqrt{2}$ × $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
∴ x = 1, y = 1
∴ The required cartesion co-ordinates are (1, 1)

Question 6.
If ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0 represents a pair of lines and h² = ab = 0 then find the ratio of their slopes. (2)
Answer:
As h² = ab means lines are coincident
∴ their slopes are equal
∴ their ratio is 1 : 1

Question 7.
If $\bar{a}$, $\bar{b}$, $\bar{c}$ are the position vectors of the points A, B, C respectively and 5$\bar{a}$ + 3$\bar{b}$ – 8$\bar{c}$ = $\bar{0}$ then find the ratio in which the point C divides the line segment AB. (2)
Answer:
Given, 5$\bar{a}$ + 3$\bar{b}$ – 8$\bar{c}$ = 0
∴ 8$\bar{c}$ = 5$\bar{a}$ + 3$\bar{b}$
∴ $\bar{c}$ = $\frac{3 \bar{b}+5 \bar{a}}{8}$
∴ $\bar{c}$ = $\frac{3 \bar{b}+5 \bar{a}}{3+5}$
This shows that the point c divides AB internally in the ratio 3: 5.

Question 8.
Solve the fòllowing inequations graphically and write the corner points of the feasible region:
2x + 3y ≤ 6, x + y ≥ 2, x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0
Answer:
Let the equations are
2x + 3y = 6, x + y = 2
Now,

The shaded region is the feasible region ABDA.
∴ The vertices of feasibLe region are A(0, 2), B(3, 0) and D(2,0)

Question 9.
Show that the function f(x) = x³ + 10x + 7, x ∈ R is strictly increasing. (2)
Answer:
Given, Differentiating w.r. to x,
f(x) = x³ + 10x + 7
f'(x) = 3x² + 10
Hence 3x² > 0, ∀ x ∈ R, 10 > 0
∴ 3x² + 10 > 0
⇒ f'(x) > 0
Thus, f(x) is strictly increasing function.

Question 10.

$\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \sqrt{1-\cos 4 x}$dx
Answer:

Question 11.
Find the area of the region bounded by the curve y² = 4x, the X-axis and the lines x = 1, x = 4 for y ≥ 0. (2)
Answer:
Let A be the required area

Question 12.
Solve the differential equation
cos x cos y dy – sin x sin y dx = 0
Answer:
Given that
cos x cos y dy – sin x sin y dx = 0
∴ cos x. cos y dy = sin x sin y dx
∴ $\frac{d y}{d x}$ $=\frac{\sin x \cdot \sin y}{\cos x \cdot \cos y}$
∴ $\frac{d y}{d x}$ = tan x.tan y
∴ $\frac{d y}{\tan y}$ = tanx.dx
∴ ∫coty dy = ∫tanx dx
∴ log sin y = log sec x + log c
log sin y – log sec x = log c
∴ log$\frac{\sin y}{\sec x}$ = log c
∴ cosx.sin y = c

Question 13.
Find the mean of number randomly selected from 1 to 15. (2)
Answer:
The sample space of experiment is
S = {1, 2, 3,……..15}
Let x denote the number selected.
Then X is a random variable which can take values 1, 2, 3, …….. 15

Question 15.
Find the general solution of sinθ + sin3θ + sin5θ = 0.
Answer:
We have sin θ + sin 3θ + sin 5θ = 0
∴ (sin θ + sin 5θ) + sin 3θ = 0
2 sin$\left(\frac{\theta+5 \theta}{2}\right)$cos$\left(\frac{\theta-5 \theta}{2}\right)$ + sin 3θ
∴ 2 sin 3θ × cos 2θ + sin 3θ = 0
[∵ sin C + sin D = 2sin$\left(\frac{C+D}{2}\right)$cos$\left(\frac{C-D}{2}\right)$ ]
∴ sin3θ(2 cos 2θ + 1) = 0
∴ sin 3θ = 0 or cos 2θ = –$\frac{1}{2}$
⇒ 3θ = nπ
∴ θ = $\frac{n \pi}{3}$,n
cos 2θ = –$\frac{1}{2}$
∴ cos 2θ = cos $\frac{2 \pi}{3}$
⇒ 2θ = 2mπ ± $\frac{2 \pi}{3}$, m ∈ z
∴ θ = mπ ± $\frac{\pi}{3}$, m ∈ z
∴ θ = $\frac{n \pi}{3}$ or θ = mx ± $\frac{\pi}{3}$, m, n ∈ z
is the required general solution.

Question 16.
If – 1 ≤ x ≤ 1, then prove that sin^-1 x + cos^-1 x = $\frac{\pi}{2}$.
Answer:
Let sin^-1x = θ, where x ∈ [-1, 1] and θ ∈ $\left[\frac{-\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]$
∴ $\frac{\pi}{2}$ – ∈ [0, π] which is the principal domain of the cosine function.
As cos$\left(\frac{\pi}{2}-\theta\right)$ = sin θ
cos $\left(\frac{\pi}{2}-\theta\right)$ = x
∴ cos^-1x = $\frac{\pi}{2}$ – θ
∴ θ + cos^-1x = $\frac{\pi}{2}$
∴ sin^-1x + cos^-1x = $\frac{\pi}{2}$

Question 17.
If θ is the acute angle between the Lines represented by ax² + 2hxy + by² = 0 then prove that tanθ = $\left|\frac{2 \sqrt{h^2-a b}}{a+b}\right|$ (3)
Answer:
Let m₁ and m₂ be the slopes of the lines represented by the equation
ax² + 2 hxy + by² = 0 ……(1)
Then their separate equations are
y = m₁x and y = m₂x
∴ Their combined equation is (m₁x – y) (m₂x – y) = 0
i.e., m₁m₂ x² – (m₁ + m₂) xy + y² = 0 …….(2)
∴ (1) and (2) represent the same two lines, comparing the coefficients, we get,

Question 18.
Find the direction ratios of a vector perpendicular to the two lines whose direction ratios are -2, 1, – 1 and -3, – 4, 1.
Answer:
The direction ratios of two lines are -2, 1, -1 and -3, -4, 1
Let $\bar{a}$ = 2$\hat{i}$ + $\hat{j}$ – $\hat{k}$, $\bar{b}$ = 3$\hat{i}$ – 4$\hat{j}$ + $\hat{k}$
As we know that vector perpendicular to both $\bar{a}$ and $\bar{b}$ is obtained by $\bar{a}$ × $\bar{b}$

∴ The direction ratios of the required vector are -3, 5, 11.

Question 19.

Answer:

Question 22.
Find the approximate value of sin (30°30°).
Given that 1° = 0.0175° and cos 30° = 0866. (3)
Answer:
Let f(x) = sin x
Differentiate w.r.t. x
f'(x) = cos x
Here x = 30°, δx = 30
= $\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\circ}$ = 0.00875 [∵ 1° = 0.0175]
f(x + δx) = f(x) + f'(x)δx
f[30° + $\frac{1}{2}$] = sin 30° + cos 30° × $\frac{1}{2}$ × 0.0175
= $\frac{1}{2}$ + 0.866 + 0.00875
[∵ cos 30° = 0.866]
= 0.5 + 0.0075775
= 0.5075775
∴ f(30°30′) = 0.5076
∴ sin (30°30′) = 0.5076

Answer:

Question 24.
Find the particular solution of the differential equation $\frac{d y}{d x}$ = e^2y cos x, when x = $\frac{\pi}{6}$, y = 0. (3)
Answer:
Given that $\frac{d y}{d x}$ = e^2ycos x
$\frac{d y}{d x}$ = cos x dx
On integrating both sides
$\int e^{-2 y} d y$ = $\int \cos x d x$
$\frac{e^{-2 y}}{-2}$ = sin x + c ……. (1)
When x = $\frac{\pi}{6}$, y = 0 then equation (1) becomes
$\frac{e^{\circ}}{-2}$ = sin$\frac{\pi}{6}$ + c
$\frac{1}{2}$ = –$\frac{1}{2}$ + c (∵ c = -1)
put c = -1 in equation (1), we get
$\frac{e^{-2 y}}{-2}$ = sin x – 1
∴ e^-2y = -2 sin x + 2

Question 25.
For the following probabihty density function of a random variable X, find (a) P(X < 1) and (b) P (|X| < 1).

Question 26.
A die is thrown 6 times. If getting an odd number is a success, find the probability of at least 5 successes. (3)
Answer:
A die is thrown 6 times
As success is getting an odd number
∴ Probability of success, ρ = $\frac{1}{2}$
∴ q = 1 – p and x = the number of success.
∴ X ~ B(n = 6, p = $\frac{1}{2}$)
∴ Probability of at (east 5 successes is:
P(x > 5) = P(x = 5) + P(x = 6)

If A = $\left[\begin{array}{ll} 1 & 2 \\ 3 & 4 \end{array}\right]$ verify that
A (adj A) = (adjA)A = |A|I
Answer:
For A = $\left[\begin{array}{ll} 1 & 2 \\ 3 & 4 \end{array}\right]$
∴ A₁₁ = (+1)(4) = 4
A₁₂ = (-1)(3) = -3
A₂₁ = (-1)(2) = -2
A₂₂ = (+1)(1) = 1
∴ Adj A = $\left[\begin{array}{ll} \mathrm{A}_{11} & \mathrm{~A}_{21} \\ \mathrm{~A}_{12} & \mathrm{~A}_{22} \end{array}\right]$ = $\begin{array}{cc} {\left[\begin{array}{c} 4 \\ -3 \end{array}\right.} & \left.\begin{array}{c} -2 \\ 1 \end{array}\right] \end{array}$

From (1), (2) and (3) we get.

Given that
f(x) = $\sqrt{x+4}$ ….. (1)
(i) f(x) is continuous on [0, 5]
(ii) f(x) is differentiabLe on (0, 5)
So the Lagrange’s mean value theorem is applicable to the function
Diffèrentiate (1) w.r. to x
f’(x) = $\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x+4}}$ …… (2)
Let a = 0 b = 5
from (1),
f(a) = f(0) = $\sqrt{0+4}$ = 2
f(b) = f(5) = $\sqrt{5+4}$ = 3
Let c ∈ (0, 5) such that
f'(c) = $\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}$
∴ $\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{c+4}}$ = $\frac{3-2}{5-0}$ = $\frac{1}{5}$
∴ $\sqrt{c+4}$ = $\frac{1}{5}$
∴ c + 4 = $\frac{25}{4}$
c = $\frac{9}{4}$ ∈ (0, 5)
Thus, Lagrange’s mean value theoron is verified
