 ( sin x − cos x ) ( sin x cos x − 2 ( sin x − cos x ) − 4 ) = 0

 (sin x − cos x )(sin x + 2)( cos x − 2) = 0

52. In a triangle ABC, the angle B is greater than the angle A. If the values of angles A and B satisfy the

(A) (B) (C) (D)

Ans (C)
We have 3sin x − 4sin3 x = k, 0  k  1, which can also be written as sin3x = k. It is given that A and B
are solution of this equation.
Therefore sin3A = k and sin3B = k (where 0 < k < 1)
 0 < 3A <  and 0 < 3B <  (since 0 < k < 1)
 3A = 3B (which is not possible)

(where [.] denotes the greatest integer function)
(A) 1 (B) 2 (C) 4 (D) 0
Ans (D)
Given equation is sin x  = − cos x
Real solution exists iff − cos x is integer i.e, cos x is an integer
 3
So possible solutions for x  [0, 2] are x = 0, , , , 2
2 2
When x = 0, 2 RHS = −1 and LHS = 0, no solution

x= RHS = 1 and LHS = 0, no solution

So, we can conclude that equations has no real solution
54. The number of all possible 5-tuples ( a1 , a 2 , a 3 , a 4 , a 5 ) such that
a1 + a 2 sin x + a 3 cos x + a 4 sin 2x + a 5 cos 2x = 0 holds for all x is
(A) zero (B) 1 (C) 2 (D) infinite
Ans (B)
Since the equation
a1 + a 2 sin x + a 3 cos x + a 4 sin 2x + a 5 cos 2x = 0
Holds for all values of x
So putting x = 0 in equation (i), a1 + a 3 + a 5 = 0
On putting x = , a1 − a 3 + a 5 = 0 in equation
 a3 = 0 and a1 + a5 = 0 … (i)
 3
Putting x = and , we get
2 2
a1 + a 2 − a 5 = 0 and a1 − a 2 − a 5 = 0
 a 2 = 0 and a1 − a 5 = 0 … (ii)
From (i) and (ii) we get a1 = a 2 = a 3 = a 5 = 0
The given equation reduces to a4 sin2x = 0. This is true for all values of x, therefore a4 = 0. Hence
a1 = a 2 = a 3 = a 4 = a 5 = 0 . Thus the number of 5-tuples satisfying the equation is one

x 2 + y2 + x ( 2 + 2 ) + y ( 2 − 4 ) + (  2 + 2 + 2 − 4 + 6 ) = 0

,  are the roots of
x 2 + px + q = 0   +  = −p and  = q … (1)
Again, ,  are also roots of x 2n + pn x n + qn = 0
 2n + pn n + qn = 0 and 2n + pnn + qn = 0
 ( 2n − 2n ) + pn ( n − n ) = 0
 n + n = −pn … (2)

72. Consider two points A  (1, 2 ) and B  ( 3, − 1) . Let M be a point on the straight line L : x + y = 0 . If M
be a point on the line L = 0 such that AM − BM is maximum, then find the distance of M from
N  (1, 1)
Ans 10
Given A (1, 2), B ( 3, − 1) and M lies on L: x + y = 0
Now, equation of AB is L2 : 3x + 2y = 7
AM − BM will be maximum = AB, when M is the point of intersection L and L2
 M ( 7, − 7 )
Hence distance between M ( 7, − 7 ) and N (1, 1) is MN = 62 + 82 = 10

Given B (12, 19) and C (23, 20)
 BC = 112 + 12 = 122 and equation of BC is L1 : x − 11y + 197 = 0

 56p − 980 = 140  p = 20,15

74. Find the number of terms common to the two APs 3, 7, 11, 407 and 2, 9, 16, , 709 .
Ans 14
Let the number of terms in two APs be 'm' and 'n' respectively
Then, 407 = 3 + ( m − 1)  4 and 709 = 2 + ( n − 1)  7
 m = 102 and n = 102
 each AP consists of 102 terms
Let the pth term of 1st AP be equal to qth term of 2nd AP
Then, 3 + ( p − 1)  4 = 2 + ( q − 1)  7
p +1 q
 4 ( p + 1) = 7q  = = k (say)

 p = 7k − 1 and q = 4k since, p ≤ 102 and q ≤ 102

 k  14 and k  25
7 2
 k ≤ 14 corresponding to each value of k, we get a pair of identical terms
Hence, there are 14 identical terms in two Aps.
