Question 1
f(x) = xloge x, x ≠ 1, is decreasing in interval
SOLUTION
Solution : A
f'(x) = logex.1−x.1x(logex)2
=(logex−1)(logex)2<0
It is decreasing at (0, e) – {1}
Question 2
If f"(x) > 0 ∀ x ϵ R then for any two real numbers x1 and x2 , (x1 ≠ x2)
SOLUTION
Solution : B
Let A = (x1,f(x1)) and B = (x2,f(x2)) be any two points on the graph of y = f(x).
Since f"(x) > 0, in the graph of the function tangent will always lie below the curve. Hence chord AB will lie completely above the graph of y = f(x).
Hence f(x1)+f(x2)2>f(x1+x22)
Question 3
f(x) = x2 − 4|x| and g(x) = {min1f(t) : −6 ≤ t ≤ x}, x ϵ [−6, 0]max1f(t) : 0 ≤ t ≤ x}, x ϵ [0, 6], than g(x)
SOLUTION
Solution : D
Bold line represents the graph of y = g(x) clearly g(x) has neither a point of local maxima nor a point of local minima.
Question 4
Let S be the set of real values of parameter λ for which the equation f(x) = 2x3 − 3(2+λ)x2 + 12λ x has exactly one local maximum and exactly one local minimum. Then S is a subset of
SOLUTION
Solution : C
f(x) = 2x3 − 3(2+λ)x2 + 12λ x⇒ f′(x) = 6x2 − 6(2+λ)x + 12λf′(x) = 0 ⇒ x = 2, λ
If f(x) has exactly one local maximum and exactly one local minimum, then λ ≠ 2.
Question 5
The tangent to the curve x = a√cos2θcosθ,y=a√cos2θsinθ at the point corresponding to θ=π6 is
SOLUTION
Solution : A
dxdθ = −a √cos 2θsin θ + −a cos θ sin θ√cos 2θ= −a(cos 2θ sin θ + cos θ sin 2 θ)√cos 2θ = −a sin 3θ√cos 2θ= dydθ = a √cos 2θ cos θ − a sin θ sin 2θ√cos 2θ = a cos 3θ√cos 2θ
Hence dydx=−cot3θ⇒dydx|θ=π6 = 0
So the tangent to the curve at θ=π6 is parallel to the x-axis.
Question 6
The distance moved by the particle in time t is given by x=t3−12t2+6t+8. At the instant when its acceleration is zero, then the velocity is
42
-42
48
-48
SOLUTION
Solution : B
We have,
x=t3−12t2+6t+8
⇒dxdt=3t2−24t+6andd2xdt2=6t−24
Now, Acceleration =0
⇒d2xdt2=0⇒6t−24=0⇒t=4
Att=4, we have
Velocity =(dxdt)r−4=3×42−24×4+6=−42.
Hence (b) is the correct answer.
Question 7

−3,−13
−3,13
3,−13
SOLUTION
Solution : D
Let y=x3−5x2+5x+8. Then,
dydx=(3x2−10x+5)dxdtWhendydt=2dxdt,wehave(3x2−10x+5)dxdt=2dxdt⇒3x2−10x+3=0⇒(3x−1)(x−3)=0⇒x=3,13.
Hence (d) is the correct answer.
Question 8
The two curves x3−3xy2+2=0 and 3x2y−y3−2=0
Cut at right angles
Touch each other
Cut at an angle π/3
Cut at an angle π/4
SOLUTION
Solution : A
x3−3xy2+2=0...(1)3x2y−y3−2=0...(2)
On differentiating equations (1) and (2) w.r.t x, we obtain
(dydx)c1=x2−y22xy and (dydx)c2=−2xyx2−y2
Since m1.m2=−1.Therefore the two curves cut at right angles.
Hence (a) is the correct answer.
Question 9
Number of possible tangents to the curve y=cos(x+y),−3π≤x≤3π that are parallel to the line x+2y = 0, is
1
2
3
4
SOLUTION
Solution : C
We have, y = cos (x + y)
dydx=sin(x+y)(1+dydx)
Since, the tangents are parallel to the line x + 2y = 0
−12=−sin(x+y)(1−12)⇒sin(x+y)=1⇒x+y=π2,5π2,3π2−1≤y≤1.
Hence (c) is the correct answer.
Question 10

a
2a
4a
SOLUTION
Solution : B
√x+√y=√a.....(i)
⇒12√x+12√ydydx=0
∴dydx=−√y√x
Equation of tangent at (x1y1)isy−y1=−√y1√x1(x−x1)
⇒x√x1+y√y1=√a;⇒op=√a√x1,OQ=√a√y1∴OP+OQ=√a
