Answers & Solutions:
1) Answer (A)
The required figure is a trapezium with vertices A(0,0), B(2,0), C(2,4) and D(0,6)
AB = 2 BC = 4 and AD = 6
Area of trapezium = $\frac{1}{2}\left(sum\ of\ the\ opposite\ sides\right)\cdot height$ = $\frac{1}{2}\left(4+6\right)\cdot2\ =\ 10$
2) Answer (C)
Let us draw the diagram first,
Let L$_{1}$: 2x+ 3y -1 = 0
L$_{2}$: x+ 2y -3 = 0
L$_{3}$: 5x-6y- 1 = 0
With respect to L$_{1}$, we can see that the point $(a, a^{2})$ lies within the triangle and (0, 0) are opposite side. Therefore,
L$_{(a, a^2)}$* L$_{(0, 0)}$ < 0
$\Rightarrow$ $(2a+ 3a^2-1)(-1)<0$
$\Rightarrow$ $(3a^2+2a-1)>0$
$\Rightarrow$ a < -1 or a > $\frac{1}{3}$ … (1)
With respect to L$_{2}$, we can see that the point $(a, a^{2})$ lies within the triangle and (0, 0) are on the same side. Therefore,
L$_{(a, a^2)}$* L$_{(0, 0)}$ > 0
$\Rightarrow$ $(a+ 2a^2-3)(-3)>0$
$\Rightarrow$ $(2a^2+a-3)<0$
$\Rightarrow$ $\frac{-3}{2}$ < a < 1 … (2)
With respect to L$_{3}$, we can see that the point $(a, a^{2})$ lies within the triangle and (0, 0) are on the same side. Therefore,
L$_{(a, a^2)}$* L$_{(0, 0)}$ > 0
$\Rightarrow$ $(5a- 6a^2-1)(-1)>0$
$\Rightarrow$ $(6a^2-5a+1)>0$
$\Rightarrow$ a < $\frac{1}{3}$ or a > $\frac{1}{2}$ … (3)
From equation (1), (2) and (3) we can say that
a $\epsilon$ (-3/2,-1) ⋃ (1/2, 1). Hence, option C is the correct answer.
3) Answer (B)
Graph of logx goes on increasing in 1st quadrant and graph of 1/x goes no decreasing with both intersecting only once
4) Answer (C)
If the moduli are removed, the equations formed are
x+y+x-y = 4 => x=2
x+y-x+y = 4 => y =2
-x-y+x-y = 4 => y=-2
-x-y-x+y = 4 => x=-2
The area enclosed by these equations is a square with vertices at (2,2), (-2,2), (-2,-2), (2,-2) as shown in figure.
The required area = 4*4 = 16
5) Answer (D)
For a normal graph with y and x-axis, the equation of the line passing through the origin is y =mx where m is the slope of the line.
m is +ve if the angle made by the line with the x-axis is < $90^{\circ\ }$
$\therefore\ $ The equation of the line in the given graph would be y-x = k( y+ x) since the axes are y-x and y+x and the line is passing through the origin.
k > 1 because the angle is greater than 45$^{\circ\ }$
$y=\frac{k\left(x+1\right)}{1-k}$
Since k>1
Therefore y<0 for x>-1 and y>0 for x<-1
Option d correctly satisfy this condition
6) Answer (D)
The graphs of $2^{x}+2^{-x} and 2-(x-2)^{2}$ never intersect. So, number of solutions=0.
Alternate method:
We notice that the minimum value of the term in the LHS will be greater than or equal to 2 {at x=0; LHS = 2}. However, the term in the RHS is less than or equal to 2 {at x=2; RHS = 2}. The values of x at which both the sides become 2 are distinct; hence, there are zero real-valued solutions to the above equation.
7) Answer (C)
It has been given that f(f(x)) = 15.
From the graph, we can see that the value of f(4) = 15 and f(12) = 15
Therefore, f(x) can be 4 or 12.
When f(x) = 4, x can take 4 values
When f(x) = 12, x can take 3 values.
Therefore, there are 4+3 = 7 solutions in total.
Therefore, option C is the right answer.
8) Answer (D)
When x = -3, y = -10
This is satisfied only in option D.
Hence, option D is the correct answer.
9) Answer (D)
Smallest possible value would be at 5-x = x+2 i.e. x= 1.5 as shown
Substituting we get smallest value as 3.5.
10) Answer (B)
|x| = 1 and |y| = 1 form a square of area = 2*2 = 4 sq units
|x+y| = 1 forms a set of parallel lines cutting the axes at (1,0), (0,1), (-1,0) and (0,-1). The graph is as shown:
The area bounded by the three curves is 2*2 – 1/2*1*1*2 = 4 – 1 = 3 sq units
