x2 +2x+c 6 2

(A) -4 (B) 3 (C) 4 (D) 5

Ans. (C)
x2 +x+c
Sol. Let y = x2+2x+c

⇒ (y − 1)x 2 + (2y − 1)x + c(y − 1) = 0

As x is real, so D ≥ 0
⇒ (2y − 1)2 ≥ 4c(y − 1)2 ⇒ 4(c − 1)y 2 + 4(1 − 2c)y + (4c − 1) ≤ 0 … (i)
But we are given
(6y − 5)(2y − 3) ≤ 0 ⇒ 12y 2 − 28y + 15 ≤ 0 … (ii)
c−1 1−2c 4c−1
∴ On comparing (i) and (ii), we get = = ⇒ c = 4 Ans.

Sol. As f(1) = 1 = f(2)
f(3) = 2 = f(4)
So, f is not injective.
Also, R f = N, so f is surjective.
Hence f is surjective but not injective.

3. Let f : [−1,3] → [−37,27], be a function defined by f(x) = 2x 3 − 6x 2 − 18x + 17. then f(x), is
(A) one-one onto (B) one-one into (C) many one onto (D) many one into

f ′ (x) = 6[x 2 − 2x − 3] = 0
∴ (x − 3)(x + 1) = 0
⇒ x = 3 or x = −1

4. The range of real values of ' p ' for which the equation 2 (log 3 2) x − |log 3 x| + p = 0 has four
distinct solutions is
1 1 1
(A) (0, 8) (B) (0, 4) (C) (0, 3) (D) (0,1)

Ans (A)
Sol. Let log 3 x = t
∴ 2t 2 − |t| = −p
if t > 0 , 2t 2 − t = −p
if t < 0 , 2t 2 + t = −p
∴ For 4 distinct solution,

∑4i=1  tan−1 xi is equal to
(A) π − β
(B) π − 2β
(C) (π/2) − β
(D) (π/2) − 2β
Ans. (C)
Sol. We have
S1 = Σx1 = sin 2β
S2 = Σx1 x2 = cos 2β
S3 = Σx1 x2 x3 = cos β
S4 = x1 x2 x3 x4 = −sin β
S1 −S3
so that ∑4i=1   tan−1 xi = tan−1 1−S2 +S4
sin 2β−cos β
= tan−1 1−cos 2β−sin β

6. Let f(x) = x 2 − 4x + 3. If |f(x)| > −f(x), then the true set of values of x, is
(A) (1,3)
(B) (1,3]
(C) (−∞, 1) ∪ (3, ∞)
(D) (−∞, 1) ∪ (2, ∞)
Ans. (C)
Sol. If f(x) < 0 then |f(x)| = −f(x)
Hence, −f(x) > −f(x) is not possible
If f(x) > 0 then |f(x)| = f(x)
Hence, f(x) > −f(x)
⇒ 2f(x) > 0 ⇒ f(x) > 0
⇒ x 2 − 4x + 3 > 0
⇒ x ∈ (−∞, 1) ∪ (3, ∞).

38. Select from each set the molecule or ion having the smallest bond angle:
(i) NH3 , PH3 or AsH3 (ii) O+
3 , O3

(iii) NO−
2 or O3 (iv) X − S − X angle in SOCl2 and SOF2
(A) NH3 , O+
3 , O3 , SOCl2 (B) PH3 , O3+ , NO2− , SOF2
(C) AsH3 , O3 , NO−
2 , SOF2 (D) AsH3 , O+
3 , O3 , SOF2

Sol. (c) (i) According to Drago's rule, the trend of decreasing bond angle in NH3 , PH3 , and AsH3 is:
NH3 > PH3 > AsH3

(ii) α < β because lone pair-double bond repulsion in O3 is greater than single electron-
double bond in O3+ . Also, lone pair-single bond (electron pair) repulsion in O3 is greater
than single electron-single bond repulsion in O+

According to Bent's rule, N − O bond (B.O. = 1.5) in NO−
2 has more p character than O − O bond

(B.O. = 1.5 ) in O3 . Hence α < β.

According to Bent's rule, there is more p-character in S − F bond than in S − Cl bond in SOCl2 .
Hence α < β.
