1. The sum of coefficients of even powers of x in (x+√(x3-1)6 + x-√(x3-1)6)
Solution:
(x+√(x3-1)6 + x-√(x3-1)6) = 2[6C0x6 +6C2x4(x3-1)+6C4x2(x3-1)2 +6C6(x3-1)3]
= 2[x6+15x4(x3-1)+15x2(x6-2x3+1)+(x3-1)3]
= 2[x6+15x7-15x4+15x8-30x5+15x2+x9-3x6+3(x3-1)]
Terms with even power of x =
Therefore Sum of coefficients = 2(1-15+15+15-3-1) = 24

2. Let sin(α-β) = 5/13 and cos (α+β) = 3/5 where α, β ∈ (0, π/4) then tan 2α
Solution:
sin(α-β) = 5/13
cos (α-β) = 12/13
cos(α+β) = 3/5
sin(α+β) = 4/5
tan 2α = tan[(α+β)+(α-β)]
= (4/3)+(5/12)÷(1-(4/3)×(5/12))
= 63/16

3.The line x+y = n, n∈N, makes intercepts with x2+y2 = 16. Then the sum of squares of all possible intercepts
Solution:
x2+y2 = 16
Centre = (0,0)
OA = P
Radius = 4
P = n/√2
To make the intercepts n/√2 < 4
n< 4√2
Length of intercepts = √(r2-p2)
AB = √(16-n2/2)
Length of chord BC = 2√(16-n2/2) = √(64-2n2)
Square of intercepts = (64-2n2 ), n∈N
Possible value of n = 1,2,3,4,5
Sum of square of intercepts = (64-2)+(64-8)+(64-18)+(64-32)+(64-50)
= 62+56+46+32+50
= 210

8. Shortest distance between the curves y2 = x-2 and y = x is
Solution:
y2 = x-2
Differentiating we get,
2y (dy/dx) = 1
(dy/dx) = 1/2y
Slope of the line y = x is 1.
Slope of the tangent to the curve = 1/2y
1/2y = 1
→ y = 1/2
→ K = 1/2
∴ N = (9/4, 1/2)
Minimum distance = MN = perpendicular distance from point N to line y = x
= 7/4√2 which is less than 2.

13. Sum of natural numbers between 100 and 200 whose HCF with 91 should be more than 1.
Solution:
Given numbers: 101, 102, 103, … 198, 199
91=13 × 7
HCF of 91 and a number is more than 1 means the number should be either multiple of 7 or 13.
Therefore sum of the numbers = (Numbers divisible by 7) + (Numbers divisible by 13) – (Numbers divisible by 91)
= (105+112+...+196 +( 104+117+...195 )-( 182)
= (14/2)[105+196]+(8/2)[104+195]-182
= 7(301)+4(299)-182
= 2107+1196-182
= 3121
Answer: C
14. If mean and variance of 7 variates are 8 and 16 respectively and five of them are 2, 4, 10, 12, 14 then the product of remaining two variates is
Solution:
Let the remaining two variates be x and y
Given mean = 8
(x+y+2+4+10+12+14)/7 = 8
x+y+42 = 56
x+y = 14 ..(1)
Given variance = 16
[(x2+y2+4+16+100+144+196)/7] - 82 = 16
(x2+y2+460)/7 = 80
(x2+y2+460) = 560
(x2+y2) = 100 ..(2)
(x+y)2-2xy = 100
Substitute (1) in above equation
142-2xy = 100
196-2xy = 100
2xy = 96
xy = 48

(x-1)2 = -1
(x-1) = ±i
x = 1+i or 1-i
Let α = 1+i
β = 1-i
(α/β) = (1+i)/(1-i)
= (1+i)2/2
= (1+i2+2i)/2
= (1-1+2i)/2
= i
(α/β)n = in = 1
Least value of n is 4.

The general solution of linear differential equation is
y.(I.F) =
y(1+x2) =
= tan-1 x+C
At x = 0, y = 0
0(1) = tan-10+C
C = 0
y.(x2+1) = tan-1x
put x = 1
y.(2) = tan-11
y.(2) = π/4
y = π/8
(1/4)y = π/32
i.e √a = ¼
a = 1/16
