A uniform cable of mass 'M' and length 'L' is
placed on a horizontal surface such that its (1/n)th
part is hanging below the edge of the
surface. To lift the hanging part of the cable upto
the surface, the work done should be :
A
n22MgL
B
nMgL
C
2n2MgL
D
n2MgL
Official Correct Answer:Option (C)
Step-by-Step Solution:
To solve this problem, we need to determine the work done to lift the hanging part of the cable up to the surface. The work done lifting a small element of the cable will be the weight of the element times the distance it has to be lifted.
Let's take a small section of the cable at a depth x below the surface. This section has a length of dx, so its mass is (M/L)dx where (M/L) is the linear mass density of the cable.
The work dW done to lift this small section up to the surface is the weight of the section times the distance it has to be lifted :
dW=(M/L)gdx×x.
Integrating this expression from 0 to L/n (the length of the hanging part of the cable) gives the total work done :
W=0∫L/n(M/L)gxdx
=(Mg/L)0∫L/nxdx
=(Mg/L)×[x2/2]0L/n
=(Mg/L)×[L2/(2n2)]
=MgL/(2n2)
So the work done to lift the hanging part of the cable up to the surface is MgL/(2n2).
Therefore, the correct answer is Option C :
2n2MgL

The translational kinetic energy is related to the root-mean-square (rms) speed v by:
21mv2=27kBT
Rearranging to solve for the temperature, we find:
T=7kBmv2

{31,−1}
B
{−31,1}
C
{−31,−1}
D
{31,1}
Official Correct Answer:Option (B)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Given ƒ(x) = x3 – x2 – 2x
∴ ƒ(1) = 1 – 1 – 2 = - 2
and ƒ(-1) = -1 – 1 + 2 = 0
So point A(1, ƒ(1)) = (1, -2)
and point B(–1, ƒ(–1)) = (-1, 0)
Slope of tangent at point (x, y) to the curve
y = ƒ(x) = x3 – x2 – 2x is
dxdy = 3x2 - 2x - 2
Slope of line segment joining the
points (1, -2) and (–1, 0) is
= 1−(−1)−2−0
As tangent to the curve and line segment both are parallel then slope of them are same.
∴ 3x2 - 2x - 2 = 1−(−1)−2−0
⇒ 3x2 - 2x - 1 = 0
⇒ x = 2.32±4−4.3(−1)
= 62±4
∴ x = 1, −31
So, S = {−31,1}

⇒ 2(1 - sin2θ) + 3sinθ = 0
⇒ 2sin2θ - 3sinθ - 2 = 0
⇒ 2sin2θ - 4sinθ + sinθ - 2 = 0
⇒ (2sinθ + 1)(sinθ - 2) = 0
∴ sinθ = 2 (Not possible)
sinθ = −21
∴θ = nπ + (-1)n(−6π)
When n = 0, θ = −6π
When n = 1, θ = 67π
When n = -1, θ = 6−5π

If the tangent to the curve, y = x3 + ax – b at
the point (1, –5) is perpendicular to the line,
–x + y + 4 = 0, then which one of the following
points lies on the curve ?
A
(2, –2)
B
(2, –1)
C
(–2, 2)
D
(–2, 1)
Official Correct Answer:Option (A)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Slope of the tangent to the curve y = x3 + ax – b at point (1, –5)
m1 = dxdy(1,−5) = 3x2 + a = 3 + a
Slope of the line –x + y + 4 = 0,
m2 = 1
As line and tangent to the curve are perpendicular to each other,
∴ m1× m2 = -1
⇒ (3 + a) × 1 = -1
⇒ a = - 4
∴ Curve becomes y = x3 - 4x – b
This curve goes through (1, –5)
∴ -5 = 1 - 4 - b
⇒ b = 2
So curve is y = x3 - 4x – 2
By checking each options you can see,
(2, –2) lies on the curve.

point
A
(2,1,4)
B
(−2,1,4)
C
(−2,−1,−4)
D
(2,−1,4)
Official Correct Answer:Option (A)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Let ax + by + cz = 1 be the equation of the plane
it passed through point (0, –1, 0).
∴ -b = 1
⇒ b = -1
Also it passes through point (0, 0, 1)
∴ c = 1
So the plane is ax - y + z = 1.
This plane an angle 4π with the
plane y – z + 5 = 0.
Normal to the plane ax - y + z = 1 is
a = ai−j+k
Normal to the plane y – z + 5 = 0 is
b = j−k
cos θ = ∣a∣ba.b
⇒21 = ∣a∣ba.b
⇒a2+1+112+12∣0−1−1∣ = 21
⇒a2+2=4
⇒ a = ±2
∴ Equation of plane

Official Correct Answer:Option (D)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Given line y = mx + 73 .....(1)
Given hyperbola
24x2−18y2=1
Here a2=24 and b2=18
We know the equation of normal to the hyperbola is
y=mx±a2−b2m2m(a2+b2)
⇒y=mx±24−18m2m(42) .....(2)
Comparing (1) and (2), we get
24−18m2m(42) = 73

Let p, q ∈ R. If 2 - 3 is a root of the quadratic
equation, x2 + px + q = 0, then :
A
p2 – 4q – 12 = 0
B
q2 – 4p – 16 = 0
C
q2 + 4p + 14 = 0
D
p2 – 4q + 12 = 0
Official Correct Answer:Option (A)
Step-by-Step Solution:
If a quadratic equation with rational coefficient has one irrational root then other root will be the conjugate of the irrational root.
Here x2 + px + q = 0 has one root 2 - 3.
∴ Other root will be 2 + 3.
Sum of the roots = -p = 4
and product of the roots = q = 1
You can see p2 – 4q – 12 = 0 satisfy value of p = -4 and q = 1.

C
x2 + y2 – 2x2y2 = 0
D

Official Correct Answer:Option (A)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Let the point of tangency A(cos θ, sin θ)
Equation of tangent at A,
xcos θ + ysin θ = 1
∴ P(secθ, 0) and Q(0, cosecθ)
Let M(h, k) is the mid-point of PQ.
∴ h = 2secθ+0
⇒ 2h = sec θ
⇒ cos θ = 2h1 .....(1)
∴ k = 2cosecθ+0
⇒ 2k = cosec θ
⇒ sin θ = 2k1 .....(2)
From (1) and (2),
sin2θ + cos2θ = (2h1)2+(2k1)2
⇒4h21+4k21=1
⇒4h2k2h2+k2=1
⇒h2+k2=4h2k2

the set
S = {x ∈ R : ƒ(x) = ƒ(0)}
Contains exactly :
A
four rational numbers.
B
four irrational numbers.
C
two irrational and one rational number.
D
two irrational and two rational numbes.
Official Correct Answer:Option (C)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Local extreme points of f(x) is at x = –1, 0, 1.
∴ f'(x) = 0 has three solutions x = –1, 0, 1.
∴ f'(x) = k(x + 1)x(x - 1)
∫f′(x)dx=∫k(x+1)x(x−1)dx
f(x) = k[4x4−2x2]+C
Also given that
ƒ(x) = ƒ(0)
∴k[4x4−2x2]+C = C
⇒2x2(2x2−1) = 0
⇒ x = 0, −2, 2
∴ x has two irrational and one rational value.

A
7+17−1
B
5+15−1
C
1+51−5
D
1+71−7
Official Correct Answer:Option (D)
Step-by-Step Solution:
We know parametric form of straight line is
cosθx−x1=sinθy−y1=r
⇒cosθx−2=sinθy−3=4
∴ x = 4 + 2cosθ
y = 4 + 3sinθ
∴ Point A = (4 + 2cosθ, 4 + 3sinθ)
Point A lies on line x + y = 7,
∴ (4 + 2cosθ) + (4 + 3sinθ) = 7
⇒ sinθ + cosθ = 21
⇒sin2θ+cos2θ + 2sinθcosθ = 41
⇒ 1 + sin 2θ = 41
⇒ sin 2θ = −43
⇒1+tan2θ2tanθ = −43
⇒ 3tan2θ + 8tanθ + 3 = 0
⇒ tanθ = 6−8±27
So slope = 6−8±27
By checking each options,
Slope = 1+71−7
As 1+71−7 = 1−7(1−7)2 = −68−27 = 6−8+27

Let ƒ(x) = 15 – |x – 10|; x ∈ R. Then the set
of all values of x, at which the function,
g(x) = ƒ(ƒ(x)) is not differentiable, is :
A
{10,15}
B
{5,10,15,20}
C
{10}
D
{5,10,15}
Official Correct Answer:Option (D)
Step-by-Step Solution:
ƒ(x) = 15 – |x – 10|
g(x) = ƒ(ƒ(x)) = 15 – |ƒ(x) – 10|
= 15 – |15 – |x – 10| – 10|
= 15 – |5 – |x – 10||
As this is a linear expression so it is non differentiable when value inside the modulus is zero.
So non differentiable when
x – 10 = 0 ⇒ x = 10
and 5 – |x – 10| = 0
⇒ |x – 10| = 5
⇒ x - 10 = ± 5
⇒ x = 5, 15
∴ g(x) is not differentiable at x = 5, 10, 15.
