44) e6x – e4x – 2e3x – 12e2x + ex + 1 = 0

⇒ No. of real roots = 2

P(B) =

Now, and

Putting in the above result, we get

cot–1(1 + n(n + 1)) =

cot–1(1 + n(n + 1)) = tan–1(n + 1) – tan–1(n)

= tan–1(49) – tan–1(1)

Let Tr = ((r + 3)! – (r + 2)!)

3! – 2!
4! – 3!

21! – 20!
Sum = 21! – 2!
k! = 21!

52) Required number of ways are

= (No. of ways middle position taken)
(rest of the positions)

= 24 = (4!) ⇒ n = 4
(A) 4 points are related out of 12 points so that no two are consecutive are 9C4.
(B) No. of 5 digit no's in ascending order is 9C4.
(C) 20412 = 22.36.71
no. of odd proper divisors
= (6 + 1)(1 + 1) – 1 = 13

(D)

= 32/3

53) (A) Let P = AB

Now, PT = (A B)T = BT AT = – B A ⇒ PT ≠ – P
∴ AB is not skew symmetric.

(B) we know that

= ⇒ (adj A)T AT = |A| I3 ⇒ (adj A)T = |A| (AT)–1
∴ (adj A)T = adj (AT), for all invertible matrix A.

(C) Let P = A B + BA
∴ PT = (AB + BA)T = (AB)T + (BA)T = BT AT + AT BT = BA + AB
= AB + BA = P
⇒ AB + BA is symmetric.

(D) As, adj (A–1) = ...(1)

Also, A (adj A) = |A| I3
⇒ (adj A) = |A| A–1
⇒ (adj A)–1 = ...(2)
∴ From (1) and (2), we get
(adj A)–1 = adj (A–1)

54) ΔOAB is equilateral Δ. with side length unity

sin60° = 2DM ⇒
Now check options.

55) ƒ(x) = max {(|x|2 – 2|x|), |x|}

g(x) = min {(|x|2 – 2|x|), |x|}

ƒ(x) non differentiable at 5 points

g(x) non differentiable at 7 points

⇒ =y+a let

⇒ –y–a=0
I.F. = = e–x

Now e–x – ye–x – ae–x = 0

⇒ ye–x + ae–x + c = 0
⇒ y + a + cex = 0
a= =– = – a(1 – 0) – c = – a – c(e – 1)

y+ c=0
