Answers & Solutions:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Given that $U^{2}+(U-2V-1)^{2}$= \u2212$4V(U+V)$<\/p>\n

$\\Rightarrow$ $U^{2}+(U^2-2UV-U-2UV+4V^2+2V-U+2V+1)$ =\u00a0\u2212$4V(U+V)$<\/p>\n

$\\Rightarrow$ $U^{2}+(U^2-4UV-2U+4V^2+4V+1)$ =\u00a0\u2212$4V(U+V)$<\/p>\n

$\\Rightarrow$ $2U^2-4UV-2U+4V^2+4V+1=\u22124UV-4V^2$<\/p>\n

$\\Rightarrow$ $2U^2-2U+8V^2+4V+1=0$<\/p>\n

$\\Rightarrow$ $2[U^2-U+\\dfrac{1}{4}]+8[V^2+\\dfrac{V}{2}+\\dfrac{1}{16}]=0$<\/p>\n

$\\Rightarrow$ $2(U-\\dfrac{1}{2})^2+8(V+\\dfrac{1}{4})^2=0$<\/p>\n

Sum of two square terms is zero i.e. individual square term is equal to zero.<\/p>\n

$U-\\dfrac{1}{2}$ = 0 and $V+\\dfrac{1}{4}$ = 0<\/p>\n

U = $\\dfrac{1}{2}$ and\u00a0V = $-\\dfrac{1}{4}$<\/p>\n

Therefore,\u00a0$U+3V$ =\u00a0$\\dfrac{1}{2}$+$\\dfrac{-1*3}{4}$ =\u00a0$\\dfrac{-1}{4}$. Hence, option C is the correct answer.<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(A)<\/strong><\/p>\n

$x^5-1 = (x-1)(x^4+x^3+x^2+x+1)$
\n$x^5-1=(x-1)f(x)$
\n$x^5 = 1+(x-1)f(x)$
\n$f(x^5) = (1+(x-1)f(x))^4+(1+(x-1)f(x))^3+(1+(x-1)f(x))^2+(1+(x-1)f(x))+1$
\nOn dividing by $f(x)$, every term will leave $1$ as the remainder. Therefore, the remainder when $f(x^5)$ is divided by $f(x)$ is $1+1+1+1+1=5$.
\nTherefore, option\u00a0A is the right answer.<\/p>\n

3)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(D)<\/strong><\/p>\n

We know that $x^2 – x – 1=0$
\nTherefore $x^4 = (x+1)^2 = x^2+2x+1 = x+1 + 2x+1 = 3x+2$
\nTherefore, $2x^4 = 6x+4$<\/p>\n

We know that $x>0$ therefore, we can calculate the value of $x$ to be $\\frac{1+\\sqrt{5}}{2}$
\nHence, $2x^4 = 6x+4 = 3+3\\sqrt{5}+4 = 3\\sqrt{5}+7$<\/p>\n

4)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/p>\n

If $x^{2}$+3x-10is a factor of $3x^{4}+2x^{3}-ax^{2}+bx-a+b-4$
\nThen x = -5 and x = 2 will give $3x^{4}+2x^{3}-ax^{2}+bx-a+b-4$ = 0
\nSubstituting x = -5 we get,
\n$3(-5)^{4}+2(-5)^{3}-a(-5)^{2}+b(-5)-a+b-4 = 0$
\nSolving we get,
\n$26a+4b = 1621$…….(i)
\nSubstituting x = 2 we get,
\n$3(2)^{4}+2(2)^{3}-a(2)^{2}+b(2)-a+b-4 =0$
\n=> $5a-3b = 60$……..(ii)
\nSolving i and ii we get
\na and b $\\approx 52, 67$
\nHence, option C is the correct answer.<\/p>\n

5)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(A)<\/strong><\/p>\n

$x_1 + x_2 = 2$
\nand $7x_2 – 4x_1 = 47$
\nSo $x_1 = -3$ and $x_2 = 5$
\nAnd $c = x_1 \\times x_2 = -15$<\/p>\n

6)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(B)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let the optimum number of samosas be 200+20n<\/p>\n

So, price of each samosa = (2-0.1*n)<\/p>\n

Total price of all samosas = (2-0.1*n)*(200+20n) = $400 – 20n + 40n – 2n^2$ = $400 + 20n – 2n^2$<\/p>\n

This quadratic equation attains a maximum at n = -20\/2*(-2) = 5<\/p>\n

So, the number of samosas to get the maximum revenue = 200 + 20*5 = 300<\/p>\n

7)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(A)<\/strong><\/p>\n

We know that quadratic equation can be written as $x^2$-(sum of roots)*x+(product of the roots)=0.
\nUjakar ended up with the roots (4, 3) so the equation is $x^2$-(7)*x+(12)=0 where the constant term is wrong.<\/p>\n

Keshab got the roots as (3, 2) so the equation is $x^2$-(5)*x+(6)=0 where the coefficient of x is wrong .<\/p>\n

So the correct equation is $x^2$-(7)*x+(6)=0. The roots of above equations are (6,1).<\/p>\n

8)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(D)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let $\\alpha $ be equal to k.<\/p>\n

=> f(x) = $x^2-(k-2)x-(k+1) = 0$<\/p>\n

p and q are the roots<\/p>\n

=> p+q = k-2 and pq = -1-k<\/p>\n

We know that $(p+q)^2 = p^2 + q^2 + 2pq$<\/p>\n

=> $ (k-2)^2 = p^2 + q^2 + 2(-1-k)$<\/p>\n

=> $p^2 + q^2 = k^2 + 4 – 4k + 2 + 2k$<\/p>\n

=> $p^2 + q^2 = k^2 – 2k + 6$<\/p>\n

This is in the form of a quadratic equation.<\/p>\n

The coefficient of $k^2$ is positive. Therefore this equation has a minimum value.<\/p>\n

We know that the minimum value occurs at x = $\\frac{-b}{2a}$<\/p>\n

Here a = 1, b = -2 and c = 6<\/p>\n

=> Minimum value occurs at k = $\\frac{2}{2}$ = 1<\/p>\n

If we substitute k = 1 in $k^2-2k+6$, we get 1 -2 + 6 = 5.<\/p>\n

Hence 5 is the minimum value that $p^2+q^2$ can attain.<\/p>\n

9)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(B)<\/strong><\/p>\n

b = sum of the roots taken 2 at a time.
\nLet the roots be n-1, n and n+1.
\nTherefore, $b = (n-1)n + n(n+1) + (n+1)(n-1) = n^2 – n + n^2 + n + n^2 – 1$
\n$b = 3n^2 – 1$. The smallest value is -1.<\/p>\n

10)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(B)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let the function be $ax^2 + bx + c$.<\/p>\n

We know that x=0 value is 1 so c=1.<\/p>\n

So equation is $ax^2 + bx + 1$.<\/p>\n

Now max value is 3 at x = 1.<\/p>\n

So after substituting we get a + b = 2.<\/p>\n

If f(x) attains a maximum at ‘a’ then the differential of f(x) at x=a, that is, f'(a)=0.<\/p>\n

So in this question f'(1)=0<\/p>\n

=> 2*(1)*a+b = 0<\/p>\n

=> 2a+b = 0.<\/p>\n

Solving the equations we get a=-2 and b=4.<\/p>\n

$ -2x^2 + 4x + 1$ is the equation and on substituting x=10, we get -159.<\/p>\n
