One main scale division is 1 mm. The main scale reading is 10 mm and 8th division of vernier scale was found to coincide exactly with one of the main scale division. If the given vernier callipers has positive zero error of 0.04 cm, then the radius of the bob is ___________ × 10−2 cm.
Answer Format:Enter numerical value rounded to the nearest integerOfficial Answer: 52
Official Correct Answer:52

If VA and VB are the input voltages (either 5V or 0V) and V0 is the output voltage then the two gates represented in the following circuit (A) and (B) are :-
A
AND and OR Gate
B
OR and NOT Gate
C
NAND and NOR Gate
D
AND and NOT Gate
Official Correct Answer:Option (B)
Step-by-Step Solution:
VA = 5V ⇒ A = 1
VA = 0V ⇒ A = 0
VB = 5V ⇒ B = 1
VB = 0V ⇒ B = 0
If A = B = 0, there is no potential anywhere here V0 = 0
If A = 1, B = 0, Diode D1 is forward biased, here V0 = 5V
If A = 0, B = 1, Diode D2 is forward biased hence V0 = 5V
If A = 1, B = 1, Both diodes are forward biased hence V0 = 5V
Truth table for Ist
∴ Given circuit is OR gate
For IInd circuit
VB = 5V, A = 1
VB = 0V, A = 0
When A = 0, E - B junction is unbiased there is no current through it
∴ V0 = 1
When A = 1, E-B junction is forward biased
V0 = 0
∴ Hence this circuit is NOT gate

Let f be any continuous function on [0, 2] and twice differentiable on (0, 2). If f(0) = 0, f(1) = 1 and f(2) = 2, then
A
f''(x) = 0 for all x ∈ (0, 2)
B
f''(x) = 0 for some x ∈ (0, 2)
C
f'(x) = 0 for some x ∈ [0, 2]
D
f''(x) > 0 for all x ∈ (0, 2)
Official Correct Answer:Option (B)
Step-by-Step Solution:
f(0) = 0, f(1) = 1 and f(2) = 2
Let h(x) = f(x) − x
Clearly h(x) is continuous and twice differentiable on (0, 2)
Also, h(0) = h(1) = h(2) = 0
∴ h(x) satisfies all the condition of Rolle's theorem.
∴ there exist C1∈(0, 1) such that h'(c1) = 0
⇒ f'(1) − 1 = 0 ⇒ f'(c1) = 1
also there exist c2∈(1, 2) such that h'(c2) = 0
⇒ f'(c2) = 1
Now, using Rolle's theorem on [c1, c2] for f'(x)
We have f''(c) = 0, c∈(c1, c2)
Hence, f''(x) = 0 for some x∈(0, 2).

Suppose, the line αx−2=−5y−2=2z+2 lies on the plane x+3y−2z+β=0. Then (α+β) is equal to _______.
Answer Format:Enter numerical value rounded to the nearest integerOfficial Answer: 7
Official Correct Answer:7
Step-by-Step Solution:
Given equation of line
αx−2=−5y−2=2z+2 ...... (i)
and plane x + 3y − 2z + β = 0 ...... (ii)
Line (i) passes through (2, 2, −2)
which lies on plane (ii).
∴ 2 + 6 + 4 + β = 0 ⇒β = − 12
Also, given line is perpendicular to normal of the plane
α(1) − 5(3) + 2(−2) = 0 ⇒α = 19
∴α + β = 19 + (-12) = 19 - 12 = 7

The number of 4-digit numbers which are neither multiple of 7 nor multiple of 3 is ____________.
Answer Format:Enter numerical value rounded to the nearest integerOfficial Answer: 5143
Official Correct Answer:5143
Step-by-Step Solution:
A = 4-digit numbers divisible by 3
A = 1002, 1005, ....., 9999.
9999 = 1002 + (n − 1)3
⇒ (n − 1)3 = 8997 ⇒ n = 3000
B = 4-digit numbers divisible by 7
B = 1001, 1008, ......., 9996
⇒ 9996 = 1001 + (n − 1)7
⇒ n = 1286
A ∩ B = 1008, 1029, ....., 9996
9996 = 1008 + (n − 1)21
⇒ n = 429
So, no divisible by either 3 or 7
= 3000 + 1286 − 429 = 3857
total 4-digits numbers = 9000
required numbers = 9000 − 3857 = 5143

Answer Format:Enter numerical value rounded to the nearest integerOfficial Answer: 2
Official Correct Answer:2
Step-by-Step Solution:
tangent of y2 = 8x is y = mx + m2
P(2, −4) ⇒−4 = 2m + m2
⇒ m + m1 = −2 ⇒ m = −1
∴ tangent is y = −x −2

Answer Format:Enter numerical value rounded to the nearest integerOfficial Answer: 22
Official Correct Answer:22
Step-by-Step Solution:
Let f(x) = ax3 + bx2 + cx + d
f'(x) = 3ax2 + 2bx + c ⇒ f''(x) = 6ax + 2b
f'(x) has local minima at x = −1, so
∵ f''(−1) = 0 ⇒−6a + 2b = 0 ⇒ b = 3a ..... (i)
f(x) has local minima at x = 1
f'(1) = 0
⇒ 3a + 6a + c = 0
⇒ c = −9a ..... (ii)
f(1) = −10
⇒−5a + d = −10 ..... (iii)
f(−1) = 6
⇒ 11a + d = 6 ..... (iv)
Solving Eqs. (iii) and (iv)
a = 1, d = −5
From Eqs. (i) and (ii),
b = 3, c = −9

An angle of intersection of the curves, a2x2+b2y2=1 and x2 + y2 = ab, a > b, is :
A
tan−1(aba+b)
B
tan−1(2aba−b)
C
tan−1(aba−b)
D
tan−1(2ab)
Official Correct Answer:Option (C)
Step-by-Step Solution:
a2x2+b2y2=1,x2+y2=ab
a22x1+b22y1y′=0
⇒y1′=a2−x1y1b2 .... (1)
∴2x1+2y1y′=0
⇒y2′=y1−x1 ..... (2)
Here (x1y1) is point of intersection of both curves
