A. (x+5)1/3 B. (x−5)1/3

C. (5−x)1/3 D. 5−x
Answer: B

Explanation: Since

𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 3 + 5
⇒ 𝑦 = 𝑥3 + 5
⇒ 𝑥3 = 𝑦 − 5
⇒ 𝑥 = (𝑦 − 5)1/3
⇒   𝑓 −1 (𝑥) = (𝑥 − 5)1/3

Q5.Which of the following functions from Z into Z are bisections’?

A. f(x)=x3 B. f(x)=x+ 2

C. f(x)= 2x+ 1 D. f(x)=x2+ 1

Answer: B

Explanation: For

𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 + 2
𝑓(𝑥1 ) = 𝑓(𝑥2 )
⇒ 𝑥1 + 2 = 𝑥2 + 2
⇒ 𝑥1 = 𝑥2

Therefore f is one,
Also ,

𝑦 =𝑥+2
⇒ 𝑥 = 𝑦 − 2∀𝑦 ∈ 𝑥

Thus f(x) is onto

this implies f(x) is one-one and onto or bijective function.
Q6.If a relation R on the set {1, 2, 3} be defined by R = {(1, 2), ),(2,3),(1,3)}, then R

Q54.If f and g are two continuous functions on their common domain D, then
Choose the incorrect or incomplete options from the statements given below.

A. f + g is a continuous on D

B. f ‒ g is a continuous on D

C. f × g is a continuous on D

D. f / g is a continuous on D
Answer: D
Explanation: If f and g are two continuous functions on their common domain D, then
f + g is a continuous on D
f ‒ g is a continuous on D
f × g is a continuous on D
f / g is continuous on D ‒ {x: g (x) ≠ 0}.

Q55.Which of the following statements is false?

A. |x| is continuous at x = 0

B. |x| is differentiable at x = 0

C. |x| is not continuous but not differentiable at x = 0.

D. |x| is continuous at x = 1 and ‒1

Answer: C

Explanation: The graph of |x| is shown below

the graph is continuous at x = 0. But, the graph has a kink at x = 0.

Therefore, the function f (x) = |x| is not continuous but not differentiable at x = 0.

Q75.The area of the region in the first quadrant enclosed by the x-axis , the line
and the circle x2+y2=32.

A. 8 sq units B. 4 sq units

C. 2 sq units D. sq units
Answer: B
Explanation: The given equations are

2𝑦 = 𝑥 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (1)
𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 = 32 . . . . . . . . . . . (2)
Solving (1) and (2) as
we find that the line and the circle meet at B(4, 4) in the first quadrant (Fig).
Draw perpendicular BM to the x-axis.
Area of the region bounded by a circle and a line can be drawn as,

Since general equation of the circle passing through origin is :

𝑥2 + 𝑦2 = 𝑟2
𝐶𝑜𝑚𝑝𝑎𝑖𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 = 32 𝑔𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑛 𝑒𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 = 𝑟 2 , 𝑤𝑒 𝑔𝑒𝑡
𝑟 2 = 32
⇒ 𝑟 = 4√2
For region OMBO, limits will be from 0 to intersecting point i.e 4 and for the region BMAB,
limits will be 4 to 4√2
Therefore, the required area = area of the region OBMO + area of the region BMAB.

Q85.The order of the differential equation of all circle of radius r, having centre on
y-axis and passing through the origin is

A. 1 B. 2

C. 3 D. 4
Answer: Option A
Explanation: The equation of circle with centre on y-axis and radius r
(𝑥)2 + (𝑦 − ℎ)2 = 𝑟 2
This circle passes through origin i.e. (0, 0). Putting (0, 0) in above equation we have,
ℎ2 = 𝑟 2 ⇒ ℎ = 𝑟
Therefore, the equation of circle of radius r and centre on y axis and passing through origin will
be:
𝑥 2 + (𝑦 − 𝑟)2 = 𝑟 2
⇒ 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 − 2𝑟 + 𝑟 2 = 𝑟 2
⇒ 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 = 2𝑟
The equation has only one arbitrary constant that needs to be removed, so the order of
differential equation is 1.

Q90.If the position vector of three consecutive vertices of any parallelogram are
respectively i + j + k, i + 3j + 5k, 7i + 9j + 11k, then the position vector of fourth
vertex is -

A. 6(i+j+k) B. 7(i+j+k)

C. 2j−4k D. 6i+8j+10k

𝐴(𝑖 + 𝑗 + 𝑘),
𝐵(𝑖 + 3𝑗 + 5𝑘),
𝐶(7𝑖 + 9𝑗 + 11𝑘)
𝐷(𝑥𝑖 + 𝑦𝑗 + 𝑧𝑘)

Since the diagonals of parallelogram bisects, so the midpoint of AC and BD coincides, therefore,

𝒊𝒔:

A. (0, 1,7) B. (1,0,7)

C. (7, 0,1) D. (7,1,0)

Answer: B

Explanation: :- Let P be the point whose image we have to find. Then point P is
(1,6,3)
𝑥 𝑦−1 𝑧−2
Let Q be the image of point in the line = = and M be the foot of perpendicular
1 2 3
drawn from P to this line .
Then PM = MQ
𝑥 𝑦−1 𝑧−2
Since M lies on line = = , Then the coordinates of M can be obtained through line by
1 2 3
considering the given equation equal to a variable r as,
Then the coordinates of M will be

𝑥=𝑟
𝑦 = 2𝑟 + 1
𝑧 = 3𝑟 + 2
𝑆𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑃 𝑖𝑠 (1,6,3)𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑀 𝑖𝑠 (𝑟, 2𝑟 + 1,3𝑟 + 2).
The direction ratios of MP are proportional to

𝑟 − 1,2𝑟 + 1 − 6,3𝑟 + 2 − 3
⇒ 𝑟 − 1,2𝑟 − 5,3𝑟 − 1
Since MP is perpendicular to the given line.
Since for two lines,

𝑙1 𝑥 + 𝑚1 𝑦 + 𝑛1 𝑧 + 𝑑1 = 0
𝑙2 𝑥 + 𝑚2 𝑦 + 𝑛2 𝑧 + 𝑑2 = 0
Condition of perpendicularity is𝑙1 𝑙2 + 𝑚1 𝑚2 + 𝑛1 𝑛2 = 0

Therefore, using condition of perpendicularity

1(𝑟 − 1) + 2(2𝑟 − 5) + 3(3𝑟 − 1) = 0
⇒ 14𝑟 − 14 = 0
⇒𝑟=1
So the coordinates of M are

(𝑟, 2𝑟 + 1,3𝑟 + 2)
⇒ (1,2(1) + 1,3(1) + 2)
⇒ (1,3,5)

𝐿𝑒𝑡 (𝑥1 , 𝑦1 , 𝑧1 ) 𝑏𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑄 .

Since M is the midpoint of PQ .
Therefore,

2
⇒ 𝑥1 = 2 − 1
⇒ 𝑥1 = 1

2
⇒ 𝑦1 = 6 − 6
⇒ 𝑦1 = 0

𝑧1 = 10 − 3
⇒ 𝑧1 = 7
Thus the coordinates of Q are (1,0,7).

Q109.A cricket player has an average score of 40 runs for 52 innings played by
him. In an innings his highest score exceeds his lowest score by 100 runs. If these
two innings are excluded, his average of the remaining 50 innings is 38 runs. Find
his highest score in an innings.
A. 80 B. 40

C. 140 D. 60

Answer: C

Explanation: Let the lowest score of the cricketer be X.

Cricketer’s Highest score = X + 100
X + X + 100 = 40 × 52 -50 × 38
2X+100 = 2080 -1900
2X = 80
X = 40
Highest score is 140 runs.

Q113.The average of five positive numbers is 99. The averages of the first two and
the last two numbers are 117 and 92 respectively. What is the third number?
A. 46 B. 54

C. 56 D. 77

Answer: D

Explanation: Average of 5 numbers = 99

So, the sum of all 5 numbers = 5× 99 = 495
The average of first two numbers = 117
So, sum of first two numbers = 117 × 2 = 234
The average of second two numbers = 92
So, sum of second two numbers = 92×2 = 184
The sum of 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th numbers = 234+184 = 418
The fifth number = 495-418 = 77

Q114.The average weight of 16 boys in a class is 50.25 kgs of which 8 playing boys
