FC = DE = 1
⇒ EF = 1

distance covered = AB + BC + CF + + DE + AD
 = 3 + 3 + 1+ π +1+3

= 11 +
Answer = option(A,D)

44)
put x = 0 and x = 1
⇒ b = 1 and a + b = 6
⇒ a = 5 and b = 1

45)

= = ……….(i)

= = = ………(ii)

from (i) & (ii) = =

option (B) is also correct

46)

4 + 2a – 6 = 0
⇒ a = 1 and 4 – 18 + b = 0
⇒ b = 14

47)

Let

Put t and in the equation

(i) when
⇒ x2 – x – 1 = 1 ⇒ x2 – x – 2 = 0 ⇒ x = –1 and 2
 (ii) when
⇒ x2 – x = 0 ⇒ x = 0 and 1 ⇒ x2 – x = 0 ⇒ x = 0 and 1

48) (A) Clearly 71/7, (42)1/4 > 1

71/7 = 491/14 > 421/14
∴ 71/7 > (42)1/14 > 1
(B) log35 > 0, log79 > 0, log1113 > 0
⇒ log35.log79.log1113 > –2

(C)

(D)
= log34 + log37 = log328 > log327 > 3
∴ A,B,D are correct.

49)

|x2–1| + =0
| x2–1| + =0
{Modulous and square root are always non-negative.
⇒ x2 – 1 = 0 & x2 – 3x + 2 = 0
⇒ x = ± 1 & (x–1) (x–2) = 0
x = 1, 2
Hence the only solution
no. of values of x = 1
Ans. 1

50)

Case-1 : x < 3
–(x – 3) – (x – 5) = 3
– 2x = –5

Case-2 : x > 5
(x – 3) + (x – 5) = 3
2x = 11
 51)

(2)2/x – 3.(2)1/x.(2)1 + 8 = 0
⇒ ((2)1/x)2 – 6(2)1/x + 8 = 0
Let 21/x = t
⇒ t2 – 6t + 8 = 0
⇒ t = 2 or t = 4
⇒ (2)1/x = (2)1 ⇒ (2)1/x = (2)2

Note : for ; x ∈ N – {1}

⇒ x = 1 (reject) ⇒ (reject)
∴ Number of solution = 0

52) (5x + 7)(13y + 1) = 156x

5x + 7 should be mulitple of 13
5x + 7 = 52 ⇒ x = 9

y=2

53) a(21/3 – 1) = (21/3 – 1)(22/3 + 21/3 + 1)

⇒ ⇒

= 2 – 1 – 3×21/3(21/3 – 1) = 1 – 3×22/3 + 3×21/3

= 3×21/3 – 3 + 3×22/3 + 3 – 6×21/3 + 1 – 3×22/3 + 3×21/3

=1
