Incorrect
Incorrect
Incorrect
Incorrect
Official Correct Answer:Option (B)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Since 0<t<1,
2t1+t2>1.
Given
x=csc−1(2t1+t2),
we have
sinx=1+t22t.
Using
sin(2tan−1t)=1+t22t,
and the given range of t, we get
x=2tan−1t.
Thus,
dtdx=1+t22.
Also,
y=cot−1(t1−t2).
So,
coty=t1−t2.
As 0<t<1, this gives siny=t, or
y=sin−1t.
Hence,
dtdy=1−t21.
Therefore,
dxdy=dtdxdtdy=21−t21+t2.
Thus,
f(t)=21−t21+t2.
Putting t=tanα,
f(tanα)=21−tan2α1+tan2α.
Now,
1+tan2α=sec2α
and, since 0<α<4π,
1−tan2α=cos2αcos2α=cosαcos2α.
Therefore,
f(tanα)=2cos2αsecα.
Hence, the correct option is

Incorrect
Incorrect
Incorrect
Incorrect
Official Correct Answer:Option (C)
Step-by-Step Solution:
Since the man always predicts “heads”, a successful prediction means the toss gives heads.
So,
number of successful predictions number of heads
number of unsuccessful predictions number of tails
There are tosses in total.
We need the probability that
Since the total number of tosses is odd, there cannot be an equal number of heads and tails.
For a fair coin, heads and tails are equally likely. So the probability that heads are more than tails is the same as the probability that tails are more than heads.
These two cases together cover all possibilities:
And by symmetry,
So,
Hence, the correct option is
Option C.

Step-by-Step Solution:
For a continuous random variable, the c.d.f. is
F(x)=P(X≤x)
Given,
F(b)=0.7
Also,
P(X>a)=0.4
Since the total probability is 1,
P(X≤a)=1−P(X>a)
So,
F(a)=1−0.4=0.6
Now,
P(a<X<b)=F(b)−F(a)
P(a<X<b)=0.7−0.6=0.1
So the correct option is
0.1
Option A.
