3. The general solution of the differential equation √(1+x2+y2+x2y2)+xy(dy/dx) = 0
(where C is a constant of integration)
Solution:
1+y2 = z2
2ydy = 2zdz
((t2-1+1)/(t2-1) )dt = -z+c
1dt+(1/t2-1)dt = -z+c
t+(1/2)ln((t-1)/(t+1)) = -z+c
√(1+x2)+(1/2)ln(√(1+x2)-1/(√(1+x2 )+1) = -√(1+y2)+c
√(1+y2)+ √(1+x2) = (½)ln(√(1+x2)+1)/(√(1+x2 )-1))+c

4. Let L1 be a tangent to the parabola y2 = 4(x+1) and L2 be a tangent to the parabola y2 = 8(x+2) such that L1 and L2 intersect at right angles. Then L1 and L2 meet on the straight line:
Solution:
Let t1 tangent of y2 = 4(x+1)
L1 : t1y = (x+1)+t12 .......(i)
and t2 tangent of y2 = 8(x+2)
L2 : t2y = (x+2)+2t22 ….(ii)
L1 perpendicular to L2
(1/t1)(1/t2) = -1
t1t2 = -1
t2(i) -t1(ii)
t1t2y = t2(x+1)+ t2. t12
t1t2y = t1(x+2)+2t22. t1
Subtracting above equations
(t2-t1) x+(t2-2t1) + t2t1(t1-2t2) = 0
(t2- t1)x +(t2-2t1)-(t1-2t2) = 0
(t2 -t1) x + 3t2-3t1 = 0

Solution:
Plane through line of intersection is
x+y+z+1+λ(2x-y+z+3) = 0
It should be parallel to given line
0(1+2λ)-1(1-λ)+1(1 +λ) = 0

(a2p2-2abp+b2]+[b2p2-2bcp+c2]+[ c2p2-2cdp+d2] = 0
(ap-b)2+(bp -c)2+(cp-d)2 = 0
ap = b
bp = c
cp = d
b/a = c/b = d/c = p
a, b, c, d are in G.P.

10. Let m and M be respectively the minimum and maximum values of
Then the ordered pair (m, M) is equal to:
Solution:
R1 → R1-R2
R3→ R3-R2
⇒ -1(sin2x) -1(1+cos2x +sin2x)
⇒ -sin2x –cos2x -1- sin2x
= -2-sin2x
So minimum value when sin2x = 1
m = -2-1 = -3
So maximum value when sin2x = -1
(m, M) = (-3, -1)

Solution:
f(x + y) = f(x) f(y)
Put x = 1, y = 1
f(2) = (f(1))2
Put x = 2, y = 1
f(3) = f(2). f(1) = f((1))3
Put x = 2, y = 2

15. Which of the following points lies on the locus of the foot of perpendicular drawn upon any tangent to the ellipse (x2/4)+(y2/2) = 1 from any of its foci ?
Solution:
Let foot of perpendicular is (h,k)
(x2/4)+(y2/2) = 1 (Given)
a = 2, b = √2
e = √(1-2/4)
= 1/√2
So focus (ae,0) = (√2,0)
Equation of tangent
y = mx+√(a2m2+b2)
y = mx+√(4m2+2)
Passes through (h,k) (k -mh)2 = 4m2+2
line perpendicular to tangent will have slope -1/m
y-0 = -(1/m)(x-√2)
my = -x+√2
(h+mk)2 = 2
Add equation (1) and (2)
k2(1+m2)+h2(1+m2) = 4(1+m2)
h2+k2 = 4
x2+y2 = 4 (auxiliary circle)
(-1,√3) lies on the locus.

Solution:
x2 -64x+256 = 0.
αβ = 256
α+β = 64
(α3/β5)1/8+(β3/α5)1/8
= (α+β)/(αβ)5/8
= 64/(256)5/8
= 64/32

22. Let AD and BC be two vertical poles at A and B respectively on a horizontal ground. If AD = 8 m, BC = 11 m and AB = 10 m; then the distance (in meters) of a point M on AB from the point A such that MD2+MC2 is minimum is:
Solution:
(MD)2 = x2+82 = x2+64
(MC)2 = (10-x)2 +(11)2 = (x-10)2+121
f(x) = (MD)2+(MC)2 = x2+64 +(x-10)2+(121)
Differentiate
f'(x) = 0
2x+2(x-10) = 0
4x = 20

24. The angle of elevation of the top of a hill from a point on the horizontal plane passing through the foot of the hill is found to be 450. After walking a distance of 80 meters towards the top, up a slope inclined at an angle of 300 to the horizontal plane, the angle of elevation of the top of the hill becomes 750. Then the height of the hill (in meters) is:
Solution:
x = 80 cos 300 = 40√3
y = 80 sin 300 = 40
In ΔADC, tan 450 = h/(x+z)
⇒ h = x+z
⇒h = 40√3+z ..(i)
In ΔEDF
tan 750 = (h-y)/z
2+√3 = (h-40)/z
⇒ z = (h-40)/(2+√3) ..(ii)
Put the value of z from (i)
h-40√3 = (h-40)/(2+√3)
h(1+√3) = 40(2√3+3-1)
h(1+√3) = 80(1+√3)
h = 80
Answer: 80
25. Set A has m elements and set B has n elements. If the total number of subsets of A is 112 more than the total number of subsets of B, then the value of m×n is
Solution:
A and B are two sets having m, n element respectively
No. of subsets of A = 2m
No. of subsets of B = 2n
2m = 2n +112
2m -2n = 112
2n (2m-n-1) = 112
2n(2m-n-1) = 24 (23-1)
n = 4
m-n = 3
m-4 = 3
⇒ m = 7
m×n = 28
