For coefficient of x4, we should have r = 2

Clearly, the equation of PQ in the new position is x = 2

9. (A)

Matches whose predictions are correct can be selected in 20C10 ways. Now each wrong prediction
can be made in 2 ways. Thus, the total number of ways is 20C10 × 210

10. (B)

Suppose there ‘𝑛’ players in the beginning. The total number of games to be played was equal to
n
C2 and each player would have played n – 1 games

Let us assume that A and B fell ill. Now the total number of games of A and B is

(n – 1) + (n – 1) –1 = 2n – 3

But they have played 3 games each. Then their remaining number of games is 2n – 3 – 6 = 2n – 9.
Given

n
C2 – (2n – 9) = 84

 n2 − 5n − 150 = 0

 n = 15

Alter solution:

n− 2
The number of games excluding A and B is C2 . But before leaving A and B played 3 games
n− 2
each. Then, C2 + 6 = 84

Solving this equation, we get n = 15

Two women can choose two chairs out of 1, 2, 3, 4 in 4C2 ways, and can arrange among
themselves in 2! ways. Three men can choose 3 chairs out of 6 remaining chairs in 6C3 ways and
can arrange themselves in 3! ways

Therefore, total number of possible arrangements is 4 C2  2!  6C3  3! = 4P2  6P3

Let S1 and S2 refuse to be together and S3 and S4 want to be together only. The total number of ways
when S3 and S4 are selected is (8C2 + 2C1 × 8C1) = 44. The total ways when S3 and S4 are not selected
is (8C4 + 2C1 × 8C3) = 182. Thus, the total number of ways is 44 + 182 = 226

We know that the sum of the coefficients in a binomial expansion is obtained by replacing each
variable by unit in the given expression. Therefore, sum of the coefficients in (𝑎 + 𝑏)𝑛 is given by
(1 + 1)𝑛
∴ 4096 = 2𝑛 ⇒ 2𝑛 = 212 ⇒ 𝑛 = 12
Hence, n is even. So, the greatest coefficient is 𝑛 𝐶𝑛⁄2 , i.e.,
12
𝐶6 = 924

The equation of the line joining 𝐴(1, 0) and 𝐵(3, 4) is 𝑦 = 2𝑥 − 2

8 6
This cuts the circle 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 = 4 at 𝒬(0, −2) and 𝑃 (5 , 5)
7 3
We have 𝐵𝒬 = 3√5, 𝒬𝐴 = √5, 𝐵𝑃 = and 𝑃𝐴 =
√5 √5

𝐵𝑃 7/√5 7
∴ 𝛼= = =
𝑃𝐴 3/√5 3
𝐵𝒬 3√5
and 𝛽 = 𝒬𝐴 = =3

∴ 𝛼, 𝛽 are roots of the equation 𝑥 2 − 𝑥(𝛼 + 𝛽) + 𝛼𝛽 = 0

i.e. 𝑥 2 − 𝑥 (3 + 3) + 3 (3) = 0

or 3𝑥 2 − 16𝑥 + 21 = 0

Here, the focal chord to 𝑦 2 = 16𝑥 is tangent to circle (𝑥 − 6)2 + 𝑦 2 = 2

⇒ focus of parabola is (4, 0)

Now, tangent are drawn from (4, 0) to (𝑥 − 6)2 + 𝑦 2 = 2

Since, 𝑃𝐴 is tangent to circle

𝐴𝐶 √2
tan θ = slope of tangent = = =1
𝐴𝑃 √2
𝐵𝐶
or tan θ = 𝐵𝑃 = −1

∴ Slope of focal chord as tangent to circle = ±1

When at least one one-rupee coin is selected we can select any number of twenty-five coins and ten
paisa coins. Then number of ways of such selection is 4(2 + 1) (5 + 1) = 72 as we can select zero or
more twenty-five paisa and ten paisa coins to ensure that amount selected is Re. 1 or more

But when none of one-rupee coins is selected we have to select all twenty-five paisa coins and ten
paisa coins to ensure sum of Re. 1, which can be done only in one way. Then the total number of
ways is 73

Clearly, circumcentre of triangle ABQ will lie on the perpendicular bisector of line AB. Now equation
of perpendicular bisector of line AB. Now equation of perpendicular bisector of line AB is
3x – 4y + 7/2 = 0. Hence, locus of circumcentre is 6x – 8y + 7 = 0

Three elements from set ‘A’ can be selected in 7C3 ways. Their image has to be y2. Remaining
2 images can be assigned to remaining 4 pre-images in 24 ways. But the function is onto, hence the
number of ways is 24 – 2. Then the total number of functions is 7C3 × 14 = 490
