Time : 3 Hours
Max. Marks : 75

Note : This question paper consists of THREE sections A, B and C.

Section – A
(10 × 2 = 20 Marks)

I. Very short answer type questions :

1. Answer all the questions.
2. Each question carries two marks.

Question 1.
Find the value of x, if the slope of the line passing through (2, 5) and (x, 3) is 2.
Solution:
Given the Slope of the line passing through (2, 5) and (x, 3) is 2
⇒ \(\frac{3-5}{x-2}\) = 2
⇒ -2 = 2x – 4
⇒ 2x = 2
⇒ x = 1

Question 2.
Transform the equation x + y + 1 =0 into normal form.
Solution:
Given x + y + 1 = 0
⇒ x + y = -1
⇒ -x – y = 1
⇒ \(\frac{-x-y}{\sqrt{2}}\) = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
⇒ \(x\left(\frac{-1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)+y\left(\frac{-1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)\) = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
⇒ x cos \(\frac{5 \pi}{4}\) + y sin \(\frac{5 \pi}{4}\) = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\) which is the required normal form.

Question 3.
Find the ratio in which the xz-plane divides the line joining A(-2, 3, 4) and B(1, 2, 3).
Solution:
Given A = (-2, 3, 4)
B = (1, 2, 3)
The XZ – Plane divides the line joining AB in the ratio
= -y₁ : y₂ = -3 : 2 = 3 : 2 externally.

Question 4.
Find the intercepts of the plane 4x + 3y – 2z + 2 = 0 on the Co-ordinate axes.
Solution:
Given plane equation is 4x + 3y – 2z + 2 = 0
⇒ 4x + 3y – 2z = – 2
⇒ \(\frac{4 x}{-2}+\frac{3 y}{-2}-\frac{2 z}{-2}\) = 1
⇒ \(\frac{x}{\frac{-1}{2}}+\frac{y}{\frac{-2}{3}}+\frac{z}{1}\) = 1
∴ X – intercept = \(\frac{-1}{2}\)
Y – intercept = \(\frac{-2}{3}\)
Z- intercept = 1.

Question 5.
Compute \(\lim _{x \rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{\sin a x}{\sin b x}\right)\)|, b ≠ 0, a ≠ b.
Solution:

Question 6.
Compute \(\lim _{x \rightarrow \pi / 2}\left(\frac{\cos x}{x-\pi / 2}\right)\)
Solution:

Question 7.
If y = \(\frac{a-x}{a+x}\)(x ≠ -a), find \(\frac{d y}{d x}\).
Solution:
Given y = \(\frac{a-x}{a+x}\)
differentiating w.r.to ‘x’ on both sides, we have

Question 8.
If y = (cot^-1 x³)², find \(\frac{d y}{d x}\).
Solution:
Given y = (cot^-1 x³)²
differentiate w.r.to ‘x’ on both sides, we have

Question 9.
If the increase in the side of a square is 2%, then find the approximate percentage of increase in its areas.
Solution:
Let x, A be the side and area of a square respectively.
Given \(\frac{\Delta x}{x}\) × 100 = 2
A = x²
∆A = 2x ∆x
\(\frac{\Delta \mathrm{A}}{\mathrm{A}}\) × 100 = \(\frac{2 x \Delta x}{x^2}\) × 100
= 2\(\frac{\Delta x}{x}\) × 100
∴ The approximate increase in the area is 4%.

Question 10.
Find the value of C in Lagrange’s mean value theorem for the function f(x) = x² – 1 on [2, 3].
Solution:
Let f(x) = x² – 1
Since f is a second degree polynomial
∴ f is continuous on [2, 3] and
f is derivable on (2, 3)
∴ f satisfies all the conditions of
Lagrange’s mean value theorem
∴ There c ∈ (2, 3) such that
f'(c) = \(\frac{f(3)-f(2)}{3-2}\)
⇒ f(c) = f(3) – f(2) ……. (1)
f(x) = x² – 1 ⇒ f'(x) = 2x
⇒ f'(c) = 2c
f(3) = 3² – 1 = 9 – 1 = 8
f(2) = 2² – 1 = 4 – 1 = 3
From (1)
2c = 8 – 3
⇒ 2c = 5
⇒ c = 5/2 ∈ (2, 3)

II. Short Answer Type Questions :

1. Attempt any Five questions.
2. Each question carries four marks.

Question 11.
Find the locus of the third vertex of a right angled triangle, the ends of whose hypotenuse are (4, 0) and (0, 4).
Solution:
Let A = (4, 0)
B = (0, 4)
Let p(x₁, y₁) be any point on the focus.

From fig
⇒ PA² + PB² + AB²
⇒ (x₁ – 4)² + (y₁ – 0)² + (x₁ – 0)² + (y₁ – 4)²
= (4 – 0)² + (0 – 4)²
⇒ \(x_1^2\) – 8x₁ + 16 + \(y_1^2\) + \(x_1^2\) + \(y_1^2\) – 8y₁ + 16 = 16 + 16
⇒ \(2 x_1^2\) + \(2 y_1^2\) – 8x₁ – 8y₁ = 0
⇒ \(x_1^2\) + \(y_1^2\) – 4x₁ – 4y₁ = 0
The focus of P is x² + y² – 4x – 4y = 0.

Question 12.

Solution:

Question 13.
Find the value of k, if the liens 2x – 3y + k = 0, 3x – 4y – 13 = 0 and 8x – 11y – 33 = 0 are concurrent.
Solution:
Given line equations are
2x – 3y + k = 0 ……. (1)
3x – 4y – 13 = 0 …….. (2)
8x – 11y – 33 = 0 …… (3)
solving (2) and (1)

The point of intersection of (2) and (3) is (11, 5)
Since (1), (2), (3) are concurrent
∴ The point (11, 5) lies on (1)
∴ 2(11) – 3(5) + k = 0
⇒ 22 – 15 + k = 0
⇒ k + 7 = 0

Question 14.

Solution:
Given curve equation is y = be^x/a
differentiating w.r.to ‘x’ on both sides, we have

Question 17.
A particle is moving along a line according to S = f(t) = 4t³ – 3t² + 5t – 1 where S is measured in metres and t is measured in seconds. Find the velocity and acceleration at time t. At what time the acceleration is zero ?
Solution:
Given S = f(t) = 4t³ – 3t² + 5t – 1
Velocity \(\frac{\mathrm{ds}}{\mathrm{dt}}\) = 4(3t²) – 3 (2t) + 5(1) – 0
= 12t² – 6t + 5
Acceleration \(\frac{\mathrm{d}^2 \mathrm{~s}}{\mathrm{dt}^2}\) = 12 (2t) – 6(1) + 0
⇒ 24t = 6
⇒ t = \(\frac{1}{4}\)
⇒ 24t = 6
⇒ t = 4
∴ Acceleration is zero when t = \(\frac{1}{4}\) sec.
