Let the circle be x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 c = 4 and it passes through (a, b)

a2 + b2 + 2ga + 2fb + 4 = 0.
Hence locus of the centre is 2ax + 2by (a2 + b2 + 4) = 0.
50.
Let the other end of diameter is (h, k) then equation of circle is

(x h)(x p) + (y k)(y q) = 0
Put y = 0, since x-axis touches the circle
x2 (h + p)x + (hp + kq) = 0 (h + p)2 = 4(hp + kq)
(x p)2 = 4qy.

Intersection of given lines is the centre of the circle i.e. (1, 1)

Points of intersection of line y = x with x2 + y2 2x = 0 are (0, 0) and (1, 1)

hence equation of circle having end points of diameter (0, 0) and (1, 1) is
x2 + y2 x y = 0.

Points of intersection of given parabolas are (0, 0) and (4a, 4a)

equation of line passing through these points is y = x
On comparing this line with the given line 2bx + 3cy + 4d = 0, we get
d = 0 and 2b + 3c = 0
(2b + 3c)2 + d2 = 0.

Hence 2t2 a t1 = 2k , t2 t1 + a = k and t2 t1 = 2k
On solving these, we get t1 = 3a , t2 = a.

Clearly (x, x) R x W. So, R is reflexive.
Let (x, y) R, then (y, x) R as x and y have at least one letter in common. So, R is

(1) Statement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true
(2) Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is a correct explanation for Statement 1

Let P (n) = n ( n + 1) < n + 1

Statement 1 is correct.
P (2) = 2 3 < 3
If P (k) = k ( k + 1) < (k + 1) is true
Now P (k + 1) = ( k + 1) ( k + 2 ) < k + 2 has to be true
Since (k + 1) < k + 2
( k + 1) ( k + 2 ) < ( k + 2 )
Hence Statement 2 is not a correct explanation of Statement 1.

Let A be a 2 2 matrix with real entries. Let I be the 2 2 identity matrix. Denote by tr (A), the sum of
diagonal entries of A. Assume that A2 = I.

Since A I, A 1, a = d and hence detA =

Statement 1 is true.
But tr. A = 0 and hence statement 2 is false.

Cr xr = nx (1 + x)n1 + (1 + x)n

Substituting x = 1

Hence Statement 2 is also true and is a correct explanation of Statement 1.

Let p be the statement x is an irrational number, q be the statement y is a transcendental number,

and r be the statement x is a rational number iff y is a transcendental number.
Statement 1: r is equivalent to either q or p
Statement 2: r is equivalent to (p q).
Statement 1.
Sol:
(4)
Given statement r = p q
Statement 1 : r1 = (p q) ( p q)
Statement 2 : r2 = (p q) = (p q) ( q p)
From the truth table of r, r1 and r2,
r = r1.
Hence Statement 1 is true and Statement 2 is false.

Let A be a square matrix all of whose entries are integers. Then which one of the following is true?

(2) If detA 1, then A1 exists and all its entries are non-integers
(3) If detA = 1, then A1 exists and all its entries are integers
(4) If detA = 1, then A1 need not exist
Sol:
(3)
Each entry of A is integer, so the cofactor of every entry is an integer and hence each entry in the
adjoint of matrix A is integer.

all entries in A1 are integers.

The quadratic equations x2 6x + a = 0 and x2 cx + 6 = 0 have one root in common. The other roots

Sol:

Let and 4 be roots of x2 6x + a = 0 and , 3 be the roots of x2 cx + 6 = 0, then

+ 3 = c and 3 = 6.
We get = 2 a = 8
So the first equation is x2 6x + 8 = 0 x = 2, 4
If = 2 and 4 = 4 then 3 = 3
If = 4 and 4 = 2, then 3 = 3/2 (non-integer)

Given P ( x ) = x 4 + ax 3 + bx 2 + cx + d such that x = 0 is the only real root of P' ( x ) = 0 . If P ( 1) < P (1) ,
then in the interval [ 1, 1]
(1) P ( 1) is the minimum and P (1) is the maximum of P
(2) P ( 1) is not minimum but P (1) is the maximum of P
(3) P ( 1) is the minimum and P (1) is not the maximum of P
(4) neither P ( 1) is the minimum nor P (1) is the maximum of P
Sol:
(2)
P ( x ) = x 4 + ax 3 + bx 2 + cx + d
P ' ( x ) = 4x 3 + 3ax 2 + 2bx + c
Q x = 0 is a solution for P' ( x ) = 0 , c = 0
P ( x ) = x 4 + ax 3 + bx 2 + d
(1)
Also, we have P ( 1) < P (1)
1 a + b + d < 1+ a + b + d a > 0
Q P ' ( x ) = 0 , only when x = 0 and P(x) is differentiable in ( - 1, 1), we should have the maximum and
minimum at the points x = - 1, 0 and 1 only
Also, we have P ( 1) < P (1)
Max. of P(x) = Max. { P(0), P(1) } & Min. of P(x) = Min. { P(-1), P(0) }
In the interval [ 0 , 1 ],
P' ( x ) = 4x 3 + 3ax 2 + 2bx = x 4x 2 + 3ax + 2b
Q P ' ( x ) has only one root x = 0, 4x + 3ax + 2b = 0 has no real roots.

b>0
Thus, we have a > 0 and b > 0
P' ( x ) = 4x 3 + 3ax 2 + 2bx > 0, x ( 0, 1)
Hence P(x) is increasing in [ 0, 1 ]
Max. of P(x) = P(1)
Similarly, P(x) is decreasing in [-1 , 0]
Therefore Min. P(x) does not occur at x = - 1
