Q1) Find from first principle the derivative of (x2 + 1)/x w.r.t. x
Ans1) Let y = (x2 + 1)/x = x + 1/x   - (i)
Let x be a small incremental in the value of x and y be the corresponding incremental in the value of y, then
y + y = x + x + 1/(x + x)   - (ii)
Now (ii) - (i)
= y = x + 1/(x + x) - 1/x
y = x - x/(x(x + x)) = y/x = 1 - 1/(x(x + x))

... dy/dx = 

 y/x

(1 - 1/(x(x + x))

 = 1 - 1/x2
 = (x2 - 1)/x

Q2) Evaluate : 

1 - cos 5x
1 - cos 6x

Ans2) 

1 - cos 5x    = 
1 - cos 6x
2sin2 (5x/2)
2sin2 (3x)
(5/2)2[sin (5x/2)/(5x/2)]2
     32 [sin 3x/3x]2
= 25/36

Q3) Using differentials, find the approximate value of 29
Ans3) To find 29
Let x = 27 and x = 2 then x + x = 27 + 2 = 29
Taking y = x1/3, we get dy/dx = 1/3 x-2/3
Also y + y = (x + x)1/3 = 291/3
where y = x1/3 = 271/3 = 3
... 3 + y = 291/3
Again y = dydx x = 1/3 x-2/3 . 2 = 2/3(27)-2/3 = 2/27
291/3 = 3 + y = 3 + (2/27) = 83/27

Q4) Solve the differential equation:
x (dy/dx) = x + y
Ans4) x (dy/dx) = x + y
= dy/dx = (x + y)/x   - (i)
Put y = vx
= dy/dx = v + x dv/dx   - (ii)
Now (i) and (ii) = v + x dv/dx = (x + vx)/x = 1 + v
= x dv/dx = 1
= dv = dx/x
Integrating, we get
v = log x + log c = log cx
= y/x = log cx = y = xlog cx is the reqd. sol.

Q5)  Solve the differential equation dy/dx = ysin 2x given that y(0) = 1
Ans5) dy/dx = ysin 2x
= dy/y = sin 2x . dx + c
Integrating, we get
log y = -1/2 . cos 2x + c   - (i)
By hypothesis, y(0) = 1 i.e. x = 0 = y = 1
log 1 = -1/2 cos 0 + c = c = 1/2
Thus (i) = log y = 1/2 -1/2 cos 2x = 1/2 (1 - cos 2x)
= 1/2 . 2sin2 x = sin2 x = y = esin2 x is the reqd. sol.

operates : R1 R1 - R2; R2 R2 - R3

Q8) If = - 2 + 3 and = 2 + 3 - 5 then find x . Verify that and x are perpendicular to each other. 
Ans8)
Given  = - 2 + 3 and = 2 + 3 - 5

... x =  

   
1  -2  3
2  3  -5
 = + 11 + 7

Now . ( x ) = ( - 2 + 3) . ( + 11 + 7)
= 1 . 1 + (-2) . 11 + 3 . 7 = 0 =   x

Q9) Using vector show that the line segment joining the mid-points of two side of a triangle is parallel to the third side.
Ans9) 

Let , , be position vectors of vertices A, B, and C. Let D and E be the mid points of AB and AC.
Thus position vector of D = ( + )/2 = ( + )/2
also position vector of E = ( + )/2 = ( + )/2
Now = - = (( + )/2) - (( + )/2)
= 1/2 [ - ]
= 1/2 BC
... = 1/2
= || and || = 1/2|| i.e. DE = 1/2 BC.

Q10) Evaluate

1     ex     dx
0 1 + e2x

Ans10) Let I =

1     ex     dx
0 1 + e2x

Putting ex = t = ex dx = dt
Also x = 0 = t = 1 and x = 1 = t = e

e     dt     = [tan-1 t]1e dx
1 1 + t2

= tan-1 e - tan-1 1 = tan-1 [(e - 1)/(1 + e)]

Q11) Evaluate

 ((3)2 - (x - 1)2)

Q12) In a group there are 3 men and 2 women 3 person are selected at random from this group. Find the probability that 1 man and 2 women or 2 men and 1 woman are selected.
Ans12) Given Men (3) and women (2)
Total no. of cases = 5C3
P(2 M and 1 W or 1 M and 2 W) = P(2 M and 1 W) + P(1 M and 2 W)
= (3C2 . 2C1)/5C3 + (3C1 . 2C2)/5C3 = (3 . 2)/10 + (3 . 1)/10 = 9/10

Q13) One card is drawn from a well shuffled pack of 52 cards. If E is the event the card drawn is a king or queen and F is the event the card drawn is a queen or an ace, then find the probability of the conditional event E/F.
Ans13) Event E : The card is King or Queen
Event : F The card is Queen or Ace
= E F : The card is Queen
P(E) = P(F) = 8/52 = 2/13
P(E F) = 4/52 = 1/13
Now P(E/F) = P(E  F)/P(F)
= (1/13)/(2/13) = 1/2

Q14) A die is thrown 7 times, if getting an "even number" is success, find the probability of getting at least 6 successes.
Ans14)
Let p = Prob. of getting an even number
= 3/6 = 1/2
= q = 1 - p = 1/2
Also n = 7
... Binomial distribution is
B(n, p) i.e. (q, p)n = (1/2 + 1/2)7
Now Prob. of getting atleast 6 successes
= p(X 6) = p(X = 6) + p(X = 7)
= 7C6qp6 + 7C7p7 = 7(1/2)(1/2)6 + 1(1/2)7
= (7 + 1)/27 = 1/16

Q15) The two lines of regression for a bivariate distribution (x, y) are 3x + 2y = 7 and x + 4y = 9. Find the regression coefficient byx and bxy
Ans15) Let the line of regression of x upon y be : x = -2/3 y + 7/3
... bxy = -2/3
and the line of regression of y on x be : y = -1/4 x + 9/4,
... byx = -1/4
Now byx . bxy = 1/6 < 1
... our supposition is correct

Q16) Find the radius of the circular section of the sphere x2 + y2 + z2 = 49 cut by the plane 2x + 3y - z - 514 = 0
Ans16)  

2x + 3y - z = 514
Given Eq of sphere is x2 + y2 + z2 = 49   - (i)
... Its centre O (0, 0, 0) and radius, r = 7
Also eq. of the plane cutting (i) is
2x + 3y - z - 514 = 0   - (ii)
Now p =  from O on (ii)

 

 = 2 . 0 + 3 . 0 - 0 - 514
(22 + 32 + (-1)2)
 = 514/14 = 5

Now R = Radius of the circular section
= (r2 - p2) = (72 - 52) = 24 = 26

Q17) Find dy/dx when y = xsin x - cos x + (x2 - 1)/(x2 + 1)
Ans17) Here : y = xsin x - cos x + (x2 - 1)/(x2 + 1)
= u + v   - (i)
where u = xsin x - cos x and v = (x2 - 1)/(x2 + 1)
= log u = (sin x - cos x)log x and v = 1 - 2/(x2 + 1)
= 1/u . du/dx = (cos x + sin x)log x + (sin x - cos x)/x
= du/dx = xsin x - cos x [(cos x + sin x)log x + (sin x - cos x)/x]
and dv/dx = 0 - 2(-1)/(x2 + 1)2 2x = 4x/(x2 + 1)2   - (ii)
from (i), dy/dx = du/dx + dv/dx   - (iii)
= xsin x - cos x [(cos x + sin x)log x + (sin x - cos x)/x] + 4x/(x2 + 1)2

(a) the interval (s) where it is increasing;
(b) the interval (s) where it is decreasing
Ans18) f(x) = 2x3 - 24x + 5
... f'(x) = 6(x2 - 4)
= 6(x + 2)(x - 2)
putting f(x') = 0
= x = -2 , 2
which divide the number line in following intervals
(-, -2) , (-2, 2) and (2, )
Let us see the sign of f'(x) in these intervals

Interval sign of

Ans19)  

3 bulbs out of 16 can be drawn in 16C3 ways
... n(s) = 16C3
considering getting defective bulbs to be a success. Let x denote no. of success, then prob. distribution of no. of successes is given by:

x 0 1 2 3
P(x) 12C3/16C3
= 11/28
4C1 x 12C2/16C3
= 66/140
4C2 x 12C1/16C3

Q25) A population grows at the rate of 2% per year. How long does it take for the population to double itself.
Ans25) Rate of growth of population = 2/100
= dP/dt = 2/100 P, where P is population at any time t
= 50 dP/P = dt
integrating, we get
50 log P = t + c
Let P =Po when t = 0, where Po is initial Population
... 50 log Po = C
= 50 log P = t + 50 log Po
Let t = t1 when P = 2Po
= 50 log 2Po = t1 + 50 log Po
= t1 = 50(log 2Po - log Po)
= 50 log 2 yrs

Q26) Define the line of shortest distance between two skew lines. Find the shortest distance and the vector equation of the line of shortest distance between the lines given by 
= (3 + 8 + 3) + (3 - + )
and r = (-3 - 7 + 6) + (-3 + 2 + 4)
Ans26) Given lines
= (3 + 8 + 3) + (3 - + )
= (-3 - 7 + 6) + (-3 + 2 + 4)
can be written in cartesian form
i.e. (x - 3)/3 = (y - 8)/-1 = (z - 3)/1 and (x + 3)/-3 = (y + 7)/2 = (z - 6)/4
Let (x - 3)/3 = (y - 8)/-1 = (z - 3)/1 =
Then, x = (3 + 3); y = (- - 8) and z = ( + 3)
Thus a general point on this line is
P(3 + 3, - - 8, + 3)
Again, Let (x + 3)/-3 = (y + 7)/2 = (z - 6)/4 =
Then x = (-3 - 3); y = (2 - 7) and z = (4 + 6)
Thus a general point on this line is 
Q(-3 - 3, 2 - 7, 4 + 6)
Direction ratios of PQ are - (-6 - 3 - 3, 2 + - 15, 4 - + 3)
Let us choose and in such a way that PQ is perpendicular to each of the given lines, then
3(-6 - 3 - 3) - 1(2 + - 15) + 1(4 - + 3) = 0
and -3(-6 - 3 - 3) + 2(2 + - 15) + 4(4 - + 3) = 0
These equations on simplification gives
11 + 7 = 0
7 + 29 = 0
solving these equations, we get = 0, = 0 so the required points where the line of shortest distance meets the given lines are P(3, 8, 3) and Q(-3, -7, 6)
Shortest distance = PQ = (62 + 152 + (-3)2) = 330
The lines of S.D. passes through P and Q
... its equation is
(x - 3)/(-3 - 3) = (y - 8)/(-15) = (z - 3)/(6 - 3)
= (x - 3)/-6 = (y - 8)/-15 = (z - 3)/3  = (x - 3)/2 = (y - 8)/15 = (z - 3)/-1
= = (3 + 8 + 3) + (2 + 5 - )

Also state whether Y increases or decreases with increase in X
Ans27) Here n = 7
Taking a = 11, b = 8, we have
X = x - a = x - 11 and Y = y - b = y - 8

Now P = (XY - (1/3)XY)/(X2 - (1/n)(X)2) . (Y2 - (1/n)(Y)2)
= (13 - (1/7) . (-1) . 0)/((63 - 1/7) . 1 (38 - (1/7)0)) = 13/((440/7 . 38) = 0.27
... P(x, y) is positive, ... as x increases y also increases

Q29) Find the point on the curve y2 = 4x which is nearest to the point (2, -8)
Ans29) Let P(x, y) be the point nearest to the point A(2, -8). Let S = PA then
S = ((x - 2)2 + (y + 8)2)
for S to be minimum , S2 has to be minimum
Now S2 = (x - 2)2 + (y + 8)2
or S2 = (y2/4 - 2)2 + (y + 8)2   (... (x, y) lies on the parabola y2 = 4x)
for S2 to be minimum
ds2/dy = 0
Now ds2/dy = 2(y2/4 - 2)(2y/4) + 2(y + 8)
= y3/4 - 2y + 2y + 16
= y3/4 - 16 = (y3 + 64)/4
putting ds2/dy = 0 = y3 + 64 = 0
= y3 = -64
= y = -4
and thus 16 = 4x = x = 4
... Pt is (4, -4)
also d2s2/dy2 = 3y2/4 (+ve)
= y = -4 is the point of minima
hence (4, -4) is the point nearest to the point (2, -8)
