PREFACE
JEE Main is a gateway examination for candidates expecting to seek
admission in Bachelor in Engineering (BE), Bachelor of Technology
(B.Tech) and Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch) at Indian Institutes of
Information Technology (IIITs), National Institutes of Technology (NITs),
Delhi Technological University and other Centrally Funded Technical
Institutes (CFTIs).
JEE Main is also an examination which is like screening examination
for JEE Advanced (The gateway examination to India's most reputed
Technical Institutes, Indian Institutes of Technology IITs).
To make the students well-versed with the pattern as well as the level
of the questions asked in the exam, this book contains Chapterwise
Topicwise Solutions of Questions asked in Last 20 Years’
Examinations of JEE Main (formerly known as AIEEE). Solutions to all
the questions have been kept very detailed and accurate. Along with
the indication of level of the exam, this book will also teach you to
solve the questions objectively in the examination.
We hope this book would be highly beneficial for the students. We
would be grateful if any discrepancy or mistake in the questions or
answers is brought to our notice so that these could be rectified in
subsequent editions.

> [Q k (k + 1) > k, ∀ k ≥ 0]
k+ 1 (c) S (k) ⇒/ S (k + 1)
= (k + 1) (d) Principle of mathematical induction can be used to prove the
formula
∴ P (k + 1) > (k + 1)
Ans. (b)
By mathematical induction, statement I is true for all n≥ 2. S (k) = 1 + 3 + 5 + ... + (2 k − 1) = 3 + k 2
Now, let α(n) = n(n + 1) Put k = 1 in both sides, we get
∴ α (2) = 2 (2 + 1) LHS = 1 and RHS = 3 + 1 = 4
⇒ LHS ≠ RHS
= 6<3
Put (k + 1) in both sides in the place of k, we get
Let us assume that
LHS = 1 + 3 + 5 + ... + (2 k − 1) + (2 k + 1)
α (k) = k (k + 1) < (k + 1) is true. RHS = 3 + (k + 1) 2 = 3 + k 2 + 2 k + 1
For n = k + 1, Let LHS = RHS
LHS = (k + 1) (k + 2) < (k + 2) [Q(k + 1) < (k + 2)] 1 + 3 + 5 + ... + (2 k − 1) + (2 k + 1) = 3 + k 2 + 2 k + 1
⇒ 1 + 3 + 5 + ... + (2 k − 1) = 3 + k 2
∴ α (k + 1) < (k + 2)
If S (k) is true, then S (k + 1) is also true.
By mathematical induction, Statement II is true but Statement II
is not a correct explanation of Statement I. Hence, S (k) ⇒S (k + 1)
