January 2019 Maths Paper
Question 1. There are 5 girls and 7 boys. A team of 3 boys and 2 girls is to be formed such that no two specific boys are in the same team. Number of way to do so
a) 400
b) 250
c) 200
d) 300
Total number of teams = 7C3× 5C2
= 35×10 = 350
Let A, B be the specific boys.
Number of teams with these two boys in the same team = 5C1 × 5C2
= 5×10 = 50
Required number of ways = 350-50 = 300
Answer:(d)
Question 2. The equation x2+2x+2 = 0 has roots α and β. Then value of α15 + β15is;
a) 512
b) 256
c) -512
d) -256
Solution:
(x+1)2 = -1 ⇒ x+1 = ±i
x = -1+I, -1-i
α = -1+I, β = -1-i
α = √2ei(3π/4), β = √2ei(-3π/4)
α15+ β15 = (√2)15(ei(45π/4) + ei(-45π/4))
= 215/2(2 cos(45π/4))
= 215/2 (2×-1/√2)
= -28
= -256

a) 20
b) 22
c) 16
d) 14
Let 5 students are x1 , x2 , x3 , x4 , x5
Given
\(\begin{array}{l}\bar{x}= \frac{\sum x_{i}}{5}= 150\end{array} \)
Ʃxi = 750 ..(i)
\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{\sum x_{i}^{2}}{5}-(\bar{x})^{2}= 18\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{\sum x_{i}^{2}}{5}-(150)^{2}= 18\end{array} \)

\(\begin{array}{l}\sum x_{i}^{2}= 112590\end{array} \)
..(ii)
Height of new student = 156 (Let x6)
Now x1+ x2+ x3+x4 +x5+x6 = 750+156
\(\begin{array}{l}\bar{x}_{new} = \left ( \frac{x_{1}+x_{2}+x_{3}+x_{4}+x_{5}+x_{6}}{6} \right )=\frac{906}{6}=151\end{array} \)

Question 8. a,b,c are in G.P. a+b+c = bx , then x cannot be;
a) 2
b) -2
c) 3
d) 4
Let the terms of G.P be a/r, a, ar
(a/r) + a+ar = ax
x = r+(1/r)+1
But r+(1/r) ≥ 2
Or r+(1/r) ≤ -2 ( using A.M,G.M inequality )
x-1 ) ≥ 2 or x-1 ≤ -2
x ≥ 3 or x ≤ -1
So x cannot be 2.

= 3(1+sin2 2θ – 2sin 2θ)+6+6sin 2θ+4sin6θ
= 9+3sin2 2θ +4 sin6θ
= 9+3(4 sin2θ cos2θ)+4(1-cos2θ)3
= 9+12 cos2θ sin2θ+4(1-cos6θ-3 cos2θ sin2θ)
= 9+12 sin2θ cos2θ +4-4 cos6θ-12 sin2θ cos2θ)
= 13 – 4 cos6θ

a) 8/15
b) 5/17
c) 3/17
d) 8/17
x2 +2 = 10-x2
x = ±2 and y = 4
Point of intersection of curves = (±2, 4)
y = x2+2; y = 10-x2
(dy/dx) = 2x; (dy/dx) = -2x
(dy/dx) at (±2, 4) = ±4 = m1; (dy/dx) at (±2, 4) = ±4 = m2

(1+2λ)x+(1+3λ)y+(1-λ)z-(1+4λ) = 0
This is parallel to y axis ⇒ λ = -1/3
Required plane is x+4z+1 = 0
By inspection, (3,1,-1) lie in this plane.

b) 4/3
c) 8/3
d) 1
Equation of tangent at (2, 3) is
(y+3)/2 = 2x-1
y+3 = 4x-2
4x-y = 5
Required area = Ar(PAB) –
\(\begin{array}{l}\int_{-1}^{3}x_{parabola}dy\end{array} \)
=
\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{1}{2}\times 2\times 8-\int_{-1}^{3}\sqrt{y+1}dy\end{array} \)
=
\(\begin{array}{l}8-\frac{2}{3}\left ( (y+1)^{\frac{3}{2}} \right )^{3}_{-1}\end{array} \)
= 8-(16/3)
= 8/3
