Sunlight of intensity 1.3kWm−2 is incident normally on a thin convex lens of focal length 20 cm. Ignore the energy loss of light due to the lens and assume that the lens aperture size is much smaller than its focal length. The average intensity of light, in kWm−2, at a distance 22 cm from the lens on the other side is ___________.
Answer Format:Enter numerical value rounded to the nearest integerOfficial Answer: 130
Official Correct Answer:130
Step-by-Step Solution:
Given, intensity of sunlight, I = 1.3 kW m-2 and focal length of convex lens, f = 20 cm
Now, we know, Intensity = AreaEnergy
So, intensity on screen is given as
Iscreen=A2Incidentenergy
But, Incident energy = Intensity of sunlight × Area of lens
= 1.3 kW m−2× A1
So, intensity on screen is given as
Iscreen=1.3kWm−2×A2A1
Now from figure, and using similar triangles theorem, we have

I2=RV(1−e−2LtR)
From principle of superposition,
I=I1−I2⇒I=RVe−2LtR(1−e−2LtR) ...... (i)
I is maximum when dtdI=0, which gives

A third man in standing at a height 12m above the same horizontal line such that all three men are in a vertical plane. The two walking men are blowing identical whistles which emit a sound of frequency 1430Hz. The speed of sound in air is 330ms−1. At the instant, when the moving men are 10m apart, the stationary man is equidistant from them. The frequency of beats in Hz, heard by the stationary man at this instant, is _____________.
Answer Format:Enter numerical value rounded to the nearest integerOfficial Answer: 5
Official Correct Answer:5
Step-by-Step Solution:
From given data, we can draw the figure below.
Now, frequency of man behind is
f1=f(v−vscosθv)
where, x is speed of sound in air, vs is speed of man and f is frequency of whistle. Therefore,
f1=1430(330−2×135330)
Frequency of man in front is
f2=f(v+vscosθv)=1430(330+1×135330)
Now, frequency of beat is given as
Δf=f1−f2
=1430(330−1310330)−1430(330−135330)
=1430×330([330−13101]−[330−1351])
=1430×330[428013−429513]
=4280×42951430×330×13×15 = 5.0058 Hz ≈ 5.00 Hz

Two vectors A and B are defined as A=ai and B=a(cosωTi+sinωtj), where a is a constant and ω=π/6rads−1. If A+B=3A−B at time t=τ for the first time, the value of τ, in second, is ______________.
Answer Format:Enter numerical value rounded to the nearest integerOfficial Answer: 2
Official Correct Answer:2
Step-by-Step Solution:
The vector A=αi has a magnitude a and its direction is fixed. The vector B=a(cosωti+sinωtj) rotates with an angular speed ω = π / 6 rad/s in a circle of radius a. The magnitude of the sum and the difference of these vectors are given by
A+B=(a+acosωt)i+asinωtj
=a(1+cosωt)2+sin2ωt
=2acos(ωt/2).
A−B=(a−acosωt)i−asinωtj
=2asin(ωt/2)
Hence,
A+BA−B=tan2ωt=31,
which gives t=τ=(2/ω)(π/6)=2 s.

A positively charged particle is projected from the origin along the positive y-axis with speed v0=πms−1 at t=0, as shown in the figure. Neglect gravity in this problem. Let t=T be the time when the particle crosses the x-axis from below for the first time. If B2=4B1, the average speed of the particle, in ms−1, along the x-axis in the time interval T is ___________.
Answer Format:Enter numerical value rounded to the nearest integerOfficial Answer: 2
Official Correct Answer:2
Step-by-Step Solution:
The charged particle enters the magnetic field region at O. Its velocity is perpendicular to the field direction. The magnetic force on the particle, qv0B1, provides centripetal acceleration to move on a circular path from O to P. The radius of the circular path is given by
r1=mv0/(qB1).
The time taken by the particle to travel from O to P is
T1=πr1/v0=πm/(qB1)
At P, the particle enters the magnetic field B2 with its velocity perpendicular to the field direction. The magnetic force qv0B2 provides the centripetal acceleration to move in a circular path from P to Q. The radius of the circular path is
r2=mv0/(qB2).
The time taken by the particle to travel from P to Q is
T2=πr2/v0=πm/(qB2).
AT Q, the particle crosses x-axis from below for the first time. Thus, T = T1 + T2. The average speed of the particle along the x-axis in the time interval T is given by
Two infinitely long straight wires lie in the xy-plane along the lines x=±R. The wire located at x=+R carries a constant current I1 and the wire located at x=−R carries a constant current I2. A circular loop of radius R is suspended with its center at (0,0,3R) and in a plane parallel to the xy-plane. This loop carries a constant current I in the clockwise direction as seen from above the loop. The current in the wire is taken to be positive if it is in the +j direction. which of the following statements regarding the magnetic field B is (are) true?
Official Correct Answer:Declared in Solution
Step-by-Step Solution:
The magnetic field at the origin O (0, 0, 0) due to the infinitely long straight wire located at x = +R is
B1(O)=2πRμ0i1k
and due to the infinitely long straight wire located at x = −R is
B2(O)=2πRμ0i2(−k).
The magnetic field at O due to the circular loop is
B3(O)=2(R2+(3R)2)3/2μ0iR2(−k)=16Rμ0i(−k).
The resultant magnetic field at the origin (0, 0, 0) is
B3(O)=B1(O)+B2(O)+B3(O)
=16πRμ0(8(i1−i2)−πi)k.
Thus, if i1 = i2 then B1(O)=−B2(O) and B1(O)=B3(O)=0.
If i1 > 0 and i2 < 0 then both B1(O) and B2(O) are along k but B3(O) is along −k. Thus, resultant field B(O) can be zero.
If i1 < 0 and i2 > 0 then B1(O), B2(O) and B3(O) are all along −k. Thus, resultant field B(O) cannot be zero. We encourage you to relate these results with the feasible solutions of 8(i1− i2) −πi = 0 for i > 0.
Now, let us find the magnetic field at the centre of the loop i.e., point C in the figure.
The magnetic field B1 at the point C due to the infinitely long straight wire located x = +R is perpendicular to the line AC (see figure). It lies in the x-z plane and makes an angle 30∘ with the x axis. Resolve B1 along the x and z directions to get
B1(C)=2π(2R)μ0i1(cos30∘i+sin30∘k).
Similarly, the magnetic field at C due to the infinitely long straight wire located at x = −R is
B2(C)=2π(2R)μ0i2(cos30∘i−sin30∘k).
The magnetic field at C due to the circular loop is
If i1 = i2 then magnitudes of B1(C) and B2(C) are equal and their z-components are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. Thus, z-component of the magnetic field at C is due to the circular loop only and its value is (−2Rμ0i).

A uniform capillary tube of inner radius r is dipped vertically into a beaker filled with water. The water rises to a height h in the capillary tube above the water surface in the beaker. The surface tension of water is σ. The angle of contact between water and the wall of the capillary tube is θ. Ignore the mass of water in the meniscus. Which of the following statements is (are) true?
Official Correct Answer:Declared in Solution
Step-by-Step Solution:
We know that,
h=rρg2σcosθ..... (1)
where r is inner radius of capillary tube; σ is surface tension; θ is angle between water and wall of capillary tube; h is height of water in capillary tube and g is acceleration due to gravity. From Eq. (1),
h∝r1
Therefore, for a given material of the capillary tube, h decreases with increase in r.
Hence, option (A) is correct.
h depends on σ, therefore option (B) is incorrect.
In a lift going up with a constant acceleration a, the force due to surface tension remains same but weight of the water increases i.e., Wlift = πr2hρ(g + a). Thus, the height of the water rise in a capillary becomes
h=rρ(g+a)2σcosθ=rρgeff2σcosθ,
where geff is the effective g in the lift. Hence, h decrease if the experiment is performed in a lift going up with a constant acceleration.
From (1), h ∝ cosθ and not θ, therefore, option (D) is incorrect.

One mole of a monatomic ideal gas undergoes a cyclic process as shown in the figure (where V is the volume and T is the temperature). Which of the statements below is (are) true?
Official Correct Answer:Declared in Solution
Step-by-Step Solution:
In process I, volume is changing. Therefore, it is not isochoric. Therefore 'A' is incorrect.
In process II, q = ΔU + W . ΔU = 0 as temperature is constant. Therefore, q = W. Here W = P(Vf− Vi) is positive therefore q is positive i.e., gas absorbs heat. Therefore 'B' is correct.
For process IV, q = ΔU + W. Here Δ = 0 and W is negative (volume decreases). Therefore q is negative i.e., gas releases heat. 'C' is correct.
For an isobaric process, V ∝ T i.e., we will get a straight inclined line in T-V graph. Therefore I and II are NOT isobaric. 'D' is correct.
Q 14PhysicsSection A • MCQunits and measurements

If the measurement errors in all the independent quantities are known, then it is possible to determine the error in any dependent quantity. This is done by the use of series expansion and truncating the expansion at the first power of the error. For example, consider the relation z=x/y. If the errors in x,y and z are Δx,Δy and Δz, respectively, then
' in math mode at position 1:̲z \pm \Delta z …" style="color:#cc0000">z±Δz=y±Δyx±Δx=yx(1±xΔx)(1±yΔy)−1.</span>
The series expansion for (1±yΔy)−1, to first power in Δy/y. is 1±(Δy/y). The relative errors in independent variables are always added. So the error in z will be
' in math mode at position 1:̲\Delta z = z\le…" style="color:#cc0000">Δz=z(xΔx+yΔy).</span>
The above derivation makes the assumption that Δx/x<<1,Δy/y<<1. Therefore, the higher powers of these quantities are neglected.
Consider the ratio r=1+a(1−a) to be determined by measuring a dimensionless quantity a. If the error in the measurement of a is Δa(Δa/a<<1. then what is the error Δr in determining r?
A
(1+a)2Δa
B
(1+a)22Δa
C
(1−a2)2Δa
D
(1−a2)2aΔa
Official Correct Answer:Option (B)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Given, ratio r=1+a1−a ..... (1)
Given, error in measurement of a is Δa (Δa/a << 1)
Taking natural log of Eq. (1), we get
lnr=ln(1+a1−a)
⇒lnr=ln(1−a)−ln(1+a)
rΔr=1−aΔa+1+aΔa=(1−a)(1+a)(1+a)Δa+(1−a)Δa
⇒rΔr=(1−a)(1+a)2Δa
⇒Δr=r.(1−a)(1+a)2Δa
Substituting value of r, we get
Δr=1+a1−a(1−a)(1+a)2Δa=(1+a)22Δa
Therefore, error Δr in determining r is (1+a)22Δa

A spring-block system is resting on a frictionless floor as shown in the figure. The spring constant is 2.0Nm−1 and the mass of the block is 2.0kg. Ignore the mass of the spring. Initially the spring is an unstretched condition. Another block of mass 1.0kg moving with a speed of 2.0ms−1 collides elastically with the first block. The collision is such that the 2.0kg block does not hit the wall. The distance, in metres, between the two blocks when the spring returns to its unstretched position for the first time after the collision is __________.
Answer Format:Enter numerical value rounded to the nearest integerOfficial Answer: 2.09
Official Correct Answer:2.09
Step-by-Step Solution:
After collision the 2.0 kg block will perform simple harmonic oscillation with time period
T=2πkm
Given m = 2.0 kg and k = 2.0 N m−1, we have
T = 2π
Thus, the block returns to its original position in time
t=2T = π s
That is, t = 3.14 s
Now, if v1 and v2 are velocities of 1.0 kg block and 2.0 kg block, respectively, before collision; v'1 and v'2 are velocities of 1.0 kg block and 2.0 block, respectively, after collision. So, by conservation of momentum
m1v1 + m2v2 = m1v'1 + m2v'2
Here, m1 = 1.0 kg, v1 is initial speed of 1.0 kg block = 2.0 m s−1, m2 = 2.0 kg, v2 is initial speed of 2.0 kg block = 0.0 m s−1, v'1 is final speed of 1.0 kg block after collision and v'2 is final speed of 2.0 kg block after collision. Then, 1.0 kg × 2.0 m/s + 2.0 kg × 0 m/s = 1.0 v'1 + 2.0 v'2
v'1 + 2v'2 = 2 ..... (1)
Also, using definition of coefficient of restitution
v'2− v'1 = ε(v1− v2)
Since collision is elastic, So ε = 1
⇒ v'2− v'1 = v1− v2
⇒ v'2− v'1 = 2 − 0
⇒ v'2− v'1 = 2 ...... (2)
From Eqs. (1) and (2), we get
v2′=34 m s−1 and v1′=3−2 m s−1
Therefore, distance between the blocks is given as
s=v1′×t=3−2×3.14=2.09 m

If the measurement errors in all the independent quantities are known, then it is possible to determine the error in any dependent quantity. This is done by the use of series expansion and truncating the expansion at the first power of the error. For example, consider the relation z=x/y. If the errors in x,y and z are Δx,Δy and Δz, respectively, then
' in math mode at position 1:̲z \pm \Delta z …" style="color:#cc0000">z±Δz=y±Δyx±Δx=yx(1±xΔx)(1±yΔy)−1.</span>
The series expansion for (1±yΔy)−1, to first power in Δy/y. is 1±(Δy/y). The relative errors in independent variables are always added. So the error in z will be
' in math mode at position 1:̲\Delta z = z\le…" style="color:#cc0000">Δz=z(xΔx+yΔy).</span>
The above derivation makes the assumption that Δx/x<<1,Δy/y<<1. Therefore, the higher powers of these quantities are neglected.

A
0.04
B
0.03
C
0.02
D
0.01
Official Correct Answer:Option (C)
Step-by-Step Solution:
The law of radioactive decay gives number of undecayed nuclei N at time t as N=N0e−λt, where N0 is number of nuclei at t = 0 and λ is the decay constant. The number of nuclei decayed till time t is given by Nd=N0−N. Thus, the decay constant is given by
λ=t1lnNN0=t1lnN0−NdN0.
Since, N0 = 3000 and t = 1 s are given without any error, we assume that error in λ is due to error in Nd only. Hence, we can write above equation as
λ+Δλ=t1lnN0−(Nd+ΔNd)N0
=t1ln(N0−Nd)(1−ΔNd/(N0−Nd))N0
=t1lnN0−NdN0−t1ln(1−N0−NdΔNd)
≈λ+t1N0−NdΔNd,
which gives Δλ=t(N0−Nd)ΔNd. Substitute ΔNd = 40, t = 1 s, and Nd = 1000 to get Δλ = 0.02.

(given, RF=11500KV−1, where F is the Faraday constant and R is the gas constant, In (10=2.30)
Answer Format:Enter numerical value rounded to the nearest integerOfficial Answer: 10
Official Correct Answer:10
Step-by-Step Solution:
Equation of cell reaction according to the cell notation given, is
Given, Ecello = 2.70 V, T = 300 K with [Mg2+(aq)] = 1 M and [Cu2+(aq)] = 1 M and n = 2
Further, Ecell = 2.67 V with [Cu2+(aq)] = 1 M and [Mg2+(aq)] = xM and RF = 11500 KV−1 where F = Faraday constant, R = gas constant
From the formula,
Ecell = Ecello−nFRTln[Cu2+(aq)][Mg2+(aq)]
After putting the given values
2.67=2.70−2FRTln1x
or 2.67=2.70−2FR×300×lnx
−0.03=2F−R×300×lnx
or lnx=3000.03×2×RF
=3000.03×2×11500=2.30
So, lnx=2.30
or x = 10 (as given ln(10)=2.30)

Step-by-Step Solution:
For solvent X, ΔTbX = KbX m ⇒ 2 = 2KbX m ..... (1)
For solvent Y, ΔTbY = KbY m ⇒ 1 = 2KbY m ..... (2)
Dividing Eq. (1) by Eq. (2), we get
KbYKbX=2
After adding solute S, molality is the same for both solutions.
Dimerisation is a association property. And for dimerisation van't Hoff factor
i = 1 + (n1−1)α
And for dimerisation n = 2
∴ For solvent X, van't Hoff factor i=1−2α
ΔTbX=iKbXm=(1−2α)KbXm ....... (3)
For solvent Y, van't Hoff factor i=1−20.7=21.3
ΔTbY=iKbYm⇒(21.3)KbYm ....... (4)
Given that ΔTbX=3ΔTbY. Dividing Eq. (3)/(4), we have

A closed tank has two compartments A and B, both filled with oxygen (assumed to be ideal gas). The partition separating the two compartments is fixed and is a perfect heat insulator (Figure 1.). If the old partition is replaced by a new partition which can slide and conduct heat but does NOT allow the gas to leak across (Figure 2), the volume (in m3) of the compartment A after the system attains equilibrium is ______________.
Answer Format:Enter numerical value rounded to the nearest integerOfficial Answer: 2.22
Official Correct Answer:2.22
Step-by-Step Solution:
Given p1 = 5 bar, V1 = 1 m3, T1 = 400 K
So, n1=400R5 (from pV = nRT)
Similarly, p2 = 1 bar, V2 = 3 m3, T2 = 300 K,
n2=300R3
Let at equilibrium the new volume of A will be (1 + x)
So, the new volume of B will be (3 − x)
Now, from the ideal gas equation,
n1RT1p1V1=n2RT2p2V2
and at equilibrium (due to conduction of heat)
T1p1=T2p2
So, n1V1=n2V2 or V1n2=V2n1
After putting the values
(1+x)×300R3=(3−x)×400R5
or (1+x)=4(3−x)5 or 4(1+x)=15−5x
or 4+4x=15−5x or x=911
Hence, new volume of A i.e., (1 + x) will comes as 1+911=920 or 2.22.

The correct option(s) is (are)
Official Correct Answer:Declared in Solution
Step-by-Step Solution:
In the given curve AC represents isochoric process as volume at both the points is same i.e., V1
Similarly, AB represents isothermal process (as both the points are at T1 temperature) and BC represents isobaric process as both the points are at p2 pressure.
Now, (i) for option (a)
qAC = ΔUBC = nCv(T2− T1)
where, n = number of moles
Cv = specific heat capacity at constant volume
However, WAB= p2(V2− V1) instead
WAB=nRT1ln(V1V2)
So, this option is incorrect.
(ii) For option (b)
qBC = ΔHAC = nCp(T2− T1)
where, Cp = specific heat capacity at constant pressure
Likewise,
WBC = −p2(V1− V2)
Hence, this option is correct.
(iii) For option (c)
as nCp(T2− T1) < nCv(T2− T1)
so, ΔHCA < ΔUCA
and qAC = ΔUBC
Hence, this option is also correct.
(iv) For option (d)
Although qBC = ΔHAC

Hence, this option is incorrect.

(given that the vapor pressure of pure liquid A is 20Torr at temperature T)
Answer Format:Enter numerical value rounded to the nearest integerOfficial Answer: 19
Official Correct Answer:19
Step-by-Step Solution:
We know,
pTotal=pAo×χA+pBo×χB
and for equimolar solutions χA=χB=1/2
Given, ptotal=45 torr for equimolar solution and pAo=20 torr
So, 45=pAo×21+pBo×21=21(pAo+pBo)
or pAo+pBo=90 torr ....... (i)
But we know pAo=20 torr
So, pBo=90−20=70 torr (From Eq. (i))
Now, for the new solution from the same formula
ptotal=22.5 torr
22.5=20χA+70(1−χA) (As χA+χB=1)
or 22.5=70−50χA
So, χA=5070−22.5=0.95
Thus, χB=1−0.95=0.05 (as χA + χB = 1)
Hence, the ratio
χBχA=0.050.95=19

Also, given c is inclined on a and b with same angle α.
∴a.c=x∣a∣2+y(a.b)+a.(a×b)
∣a∣∣c∣cosα=x+0+0
x = 2cosα

For every twice differentiable function f:R→[−2,2] with (f(0))2+(f′(0))2=85, which of the following statement(s) is(are) TRUE?
Official Correct Answer:Declared in Solution
Step-by-Step Solution:
We have,
(f(0))2+(f′(0))2=85
and f:R→[−2,2]
(a) Since, f is twice differentiable function, so f is continuous function.
∴ This is true for every continuous function.
Hence, we can always find x ∈ (r, s), where f(x) is one-one.
∴ This statement is true.
(b) By L.M.V.T.
f′(c)=b−af(b)−f(a)
⇒∣f′(c)∣=b−af(b)−f(a)
⇒∣f′(x0)∣=0+4f(0)−f(−4)
=4f(0)−f(−4)
Range of f is [−2, 2]
∴−4≤f(0)−f(−4)≤4
⇒0≤4f(0)−f(−4)≤1
Hence, |f'(x0)| = 1.
Hence, statement is true.
(c) As no function is given, then we assume
f(x)=2sin(285x)
∴f′(x)=85cos(285x)
Now, (f(0))2+(f′(0))2=(2sin0)2+(85cos0)2
(f(0))2+(f′(0))2=85
and x→∞limf(x) does not exists.
Hence, statement is false.
(d) From option b, ∣f′(x0)∣≤1
x0∈(−4,0)
∴(f′(x0))2≤1
Hence, g(x0)=(f(x0))2+(f′(x0))2≤4+1
[∵ f(x0) ∈ [−2, 2]
⇒g(x0)≤5
Now, let p ∈ (−4, 0) for which g(p) = 5
Similarly, let q be smallest positive number q ∈ (0, 4)
such that g(q) = 5
Hence, by Rolle's theorem is (p, q)
g'(c) = 0 for α∈ (−4, 4) and since g(x) is greater than 5 as we move from x = p to x = q
and f(x))2≤ 4
⇒ (f'(x))2≥ 1 in (p, q)
Thus, g'(c) = 0
⇒ f'f + f'f" = 0
So, f(α) + f"(α) = 0 and f'(α) = 0
Hence, statement is true.

Step-by-Step Solution:
We have,
f′(x)=e(f(x)−g(x))g′(x)∀x∈R
⇒f′(x)=eg(x)ef(x)g′(x)
⇒ef(x)f′(x)=eg(x)g′(x)
⇒e−f(x)f′(x)=e−g(x)g′(x)
On integrating both side, we get
e−f(x) = e−g(x) + C
At x = 1
e−f(1) = e−g(1) + C
e−1=e−g(1)+C [∵ f(1) = 1] ...(i)
At x = 2
e−f(2) = e−g(2) + C
⇒e−f(2) = e−1 + C [∵ g(2) = 1] .... (ii)
From Eqs. (i) and (ii)
e−f(2) = 2e−1−e−g(1) ...(iii)
⇒e−f(2) > 2e−1
We know that, e−x is decreasing
∴−f(2) < loge 2−1
f(2) > 1 − loge 2
⇒e−g(1) + e−f(2) = 2e−1 [from Eq. (iii)]

Answer Format:Enter numerical value rounded to the nearest integerOfficial Answer: 3748
Official Correct Answer:3748
Step-by-Step Solution:
Here, X = {1, 6, 11, ....., 10086}
[∵ an = a + (n − 1)d]
and Y = {9, 16, 23, ..., 14128}
X ∩ Y = {16, 51, 86, ...}
tn of X ∩ Y is less than or equal to 10086
∴ tn = 16 + (n − 1) 35 ≤ 10086
⇒ n ≤ 288.7
∴ n = 288
∵ n(X ∩ Y) = n(X) + n(Y) − n(X ∩ Y)
∴ n(X ∩ Y) = 2018 + 2018 − 288 = 3748

(Here, the inverse trigonometric functions sin−1 x and cos−1 x assume values in [−2π,2π] and [0,π], respectively.)
Answer Format:Enter numerical value rounded to the nearest integerOfficial Answer: 2
Official Correct Answer:2
Step-by-Step Solution:
We have,
sin−1(i=1∑∞xi+1−xi=1∑∞(2x)i)
=2π−cos1(i=1∑∞(2−x)i−i=1∑∞(−x)i)
⇒sin−1[1−xx2−1−2xx.2x]
=2π−cos−1[1+2x2−x−1+x(−x)]
∵[i=1∑∞xi+1=x2+x3+x4+....=1−xx2] using sum of infinite terms of GP
⇒sin−1[1−xx2−2−xx2]=2π−cos−1[1+xx−2+xx]
⇒sin−1[1−xx2−2−xx2]=sin−1[1+xx−2+xx]
∵[sin−1x=2π−cos−1x]
⇒1−xx2−2−xx2=1+xx−2+xx
⇒x2((1−x)(2−x)2−x−1+x)=x(1+x)(2+x)(2+x−1−x)
⇒2−3x+x2x=2+3x+x21 or x = 0
⇒x3+3x2+2x=x2−3x+2
⇒x3+2x2+5x−2=0 or x = 0
Let f(x)=x3+2x2+5x−2
f′(x)=3x2+4x+5
f′(x)>0,∀x∈R
∴x3+2x2+5x−2 has only one real roots
Therefore, total number of real solution is 2.

There are five students S1, S2, S3, S4 and S5 in a music class and for them there are five seats R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 arranged in a row, where initially the seat Ri is allotted to the student Si, i = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. But, on the examination day, the five students are randomly allotted the five seats.
(There are two questions based on Paragraph "A", the question given below is one of them)
The probability that, on the examination day, the student S1 gets the previously allotted seat R1, and NONE of the remaining students gets the seat previously allotted to him/her is
A
403
B
81
C
407
D
51
Official Correct Answer:Option (A)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Here, five students S1, S1, S3, S4 and S5 and five seats R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5
∴ Total number of arrangement of sitting five students is 5! = 120
Here, S1 gets previously allotted seat R1
∴ S2, S3, S4 and S5 not get previously seats.
Total number of way S2, S3, S4 and S5 not get previously seats is
4!(1−1!1+2!1−3!1+4!1)
=24(1−1+21−61+241)
=24(2412−4+1)=9
∴ Required probability = 1209=403

Let f : [0, ∞) → R be a continuous function such that
f(x)=1−2x+∫0xex−tf(t)dt for all x ∈ [0, ∞). Then, which of the following statement(s) is (are) TRUE?
Official Correct Answer:Declared in Solution
Step-by-Step Solution:
We have, f(x)=1−2x+∫0xex−tf(t)dt
On multiplying e−x both sides, we get
e−xf(x)=e−x−2xe−x+∫0xex−tf(t)dt
On differentiating both side w.r.t. x, we get
e−xf′(x)−e−xf(x)=−e−x−2e−x+2e−x+e−xf(x)
⇒ f'(x) − 2f (x) = 2x − 3
[dividing both sides by e−x]
Let f(x) = y
⇒f′(x)=dxdy
∴dxdy−2y=2x−3
which is linear differential equation of the form dxdy+Py=Q. Here, P = −2 and Q = 2x − 3
Now, IF=e∫Pdx=e∫−2dx=e−2x
∴ Solution of the given differential equation is
y.e−2x=∫(2x−3)e−2xdx+C
y.e−2x=2−(2x−3).e−2x+2∫2e−2xdx+C
[by using integration by parts]
⇒y.e−2x=2−(2x−3)e−2x−2e−2x+C
⇒ y = (1 − x) + Ce2x
On putting x = 0 and y = 1, we get
1 = 1 + C ⇒ C = 0
∴ y = 1 − x
y = 1 − x passes through (2, − 1)
Now, area of region bounded by curve y = 1−x2 and y = 1 − x is shows as
∴ Area of shaded region
= Area of 1st quadrant of a circle − Area of ΔOAB
= 4π(1)2−21×1×1
=4π−21=4π−2
Hence, options b and c are correct.
