65) C : (x – 4) 2 + (y – 3)2 = 4
 Lower Extremity of vertical
diameter of
circle → (4,1)

Put in ellipse ⇒ + –1

= –1<0
Two Solutions

66)
n2 + n + 198 = 2(n2 + 4 – 4n)
n2 – 9n – 190 = 0
n2 – 19n + 10 – 190 = 0
n(n – 19) + 10(n – 19) = 0
n = 19

67) x3 – 3x2y – xy2 + 3y3 = 0

⇒ x(x2 – y2) – 3y (x2– y2) = 0
⇒ (x – 3y) (x – y) (x + y) = 0
Now, x = y ∀ (x,y) so reflexive
But not symmetric & transitive
See, (3,1) satisfies but (1,3) does not. Also (3,1) & (1,–1) satisfies but (3, –1) does not

Question Explanation: Finding the number of subsets of a Cartesian product.

Concept: Cardinality and power sets.
Solution:
We determine the number of elements in sets A and B , find the product of their sizes to get
the size of A × B, and then calculate to find the total subsets.

Calculation:

A. Set A: , so .
B. Set B: . Integers , so
.
C. Set A × B : .
D. Subsets: 215.
Final Answer: Option (3)

cos 72° =

⇒ 1 – 2 sin2 36° =
⇒ 4 – 8α 2 =
⇒ 5 – 8α 2 =
⇒ (5 – 8α 2)2 = 5
⇒ 25 + 64α4 – 80α2 = 5
⇒ 64α4 – 80α2 + 20 = 0
⇒ 16α4 – 20α2 + 5 = 0

70) Differentiate w.r.t. x

I.F. =

x + 1 = t2

Also putting x = 3 in given equation

f(3) = 2

⇒ 12 f(8) = 17

72) Official Ans. by NTA (1.50)

ss
Let f(x) ||x – 1|–x|

OR

73)

…(1)

…(2)

And
⇒ …(3)
By solving (1), (2), (3) we get

74) log1/2|sinx| = 2 – log1/2|cosx|; x ∈ [0, 2π]

⇒ log1/2|sinx| + log1/2|cosx| = 2
⇒ log1/2(|sinxcosx|) = 2

⇒ |sinxcosx| = ⇒ |sin2x| =

⇒ 8 solutions
