Hint :
We have, f(x) = (x + 1)2 – 1, x ≥ – 1
⇒ f′(x) = 2 (x + 1) ≥ 0 for x ≥ – 1
⇒ f(x) is one-one
Since co-domain of the given function is not given, hence it can be considered as R, the set of reals and
consequently R is not onto.
Hence f is not bijective statement-2 is false.
Also f(x) = (x + 1)2 – 1 ≥ –1 for x ≥ – 1

Clearly f(x) = f –1(x) at x = 0 and x = – 1.

(1) P(–1) is not minimum but P(1) is the maximum of P
(2) P(–1) is minimum but P(1) is not the maximum of P
(3) Neither P(–1) is the minimum nor P(1) is the maximum of P
(4) P(–1) is the minimum and P(1) is the maximum of P
Answer (1)
Hints : We have P(x) = x4 + ax3 + bx2 + cx + d
P′ (x) = 4x3 + 3ax2 + 2bx + c (0, d)

P′ (0) = 0 ⇒ c=0
–1 O 1
Also P′ (x) = 0 only at x = 0
P′ (x) is a cubic polynomial changing its sign from (–)ve to (+)ve and passing through O.
∴ P′ (x) < 0 ∀ x < 0
P′ (x) > 0 ∀ x > 0
Hence the graph of P(x) is upward concave, where P′ (x) = 0
Now P(–1) < P(1)

Solutions of AIEEE 2009

Chemistry, Mathematics & Physics

(1) 2, 2-dimethylpropane (2) 2-methylpropane

(3) 2, 2-dimethylbutane (4) 2-methylbutane

IUPAC name : 2, 2-dimethylpropane

2. Which one of the following reactions of Xenon compounds is not feasible?

(3) XeF6 + RbF → Rb[XeF7] (4) XeO3 + 6HF → XeF6 + 3H2O

Hints : XeF6 + 3H2O → XeO3 + 6HF

4. Which of the following statements is incorrect regarding physissorptions?

(1) More easily liquefiable gases are adsorbed readily

(3) Enthalpy of adsorption (ΔHadsorption) is low and positive

(4) It occurs because of van der Waal’s forces

Hints : Physisorption is an exothermic process with ΔH –20 kJ/mol

5. Which of the following has an optical isomer?

(1) [Co (en) (NH3)2]2+ (2) [Co (H2O)4 (en)]3+

(3) [Co (en)2 (NH3)2 ]3+ (4) [Co (NH3)3 Cl]+

(1) 5.1 × 10–5 M (2) 8.1 × 10–8 M

(3) 8.1 × 10–7 M (4) 4.1 × 10–5 M

Hints : [ CO32− ] = 10–4 M

Ksp [BaCO3] = [Ba2+] [ CO32− ]

6.6 × 10−34 × 100

(1) O2+ (2) O−2

(3) O22− (4) O22 +

Bond order of O22 + is 3.0

(3) H2C = CH – CN and H2C = CH − C = CH2

CCl3 > C6H5 CH2 > (CH3)2 CH > (CH3)3 C

(2) Ln (III) compounds are generally colourless

(3) Ln (III) hydroxides are mainly basic in character

CH3 CH3 CH3 H

24. In Cannizzaro reaction given below

2PhCHO PhCH2OH + Ph CO2
