= (253 – 252) (253 + 252)
= 505

46) adj(4AB) = 4(3–1)adj(AB)

47) Let → ....(i)

now ⇒

x–y=0⇒ x=y ...(ii)

=
Now →

x+z+y=0
∴ z = –(x + y) = – 2x …. (iii)
 by equation (i), (ii) and (iii)

x2 + x2 + 4x2 = 1 ⇒ , ,

∴
∴ λ1 = λ2 = 1, λ3 = 6
∴ λ1 + λ2 + λ3 = 8

Let (ex)2 + 1 = t

where t > 1
minimum value = 3 – 1 = 2

50)

if x ∈ [1, 2), then y ∈ (2, 4]

if x ∈ [2, ∞), then y ∈ (–2, 0)
sum = 3 + 4 – 1 = 6 Ans.

51)

Solution is possible only when

Total number of solution

52) Case-I : x ∈ I
x + 0 = 3x ⇒ 2x = 0 ⇒ x = 0
Case-II : x ∉ I
[x] + 2(1 – {x}) = 3[x] + 3{x}
2[x] + 5{x} = 2

⇒ [x] = –1, {x} = 4/5 ⇒ x = –1/5

or [x] = 0, {x} = 2/5 ⇒ x = 2/5
Hence 3 solutions.

53) ([x]+[y]+[z])(([x]–[y])2+([y]–[z])2+([z]–[x])2) = 8
possible only when [x] + [y] + [z] = 4
[x] = 2, [y] = 1, [z] = 1
or [x] = 1, [y] = 2, [z] = 1
[x] = 1, [y] = 1, [z] = 2

54) Explain Question: Use newton formula to obtain reduction formula for Pk.
Concept: Newton formula.
Solution:

where α = –ω, β = –ω2, ω is

non-real cube roots of unity.
P12k+2 = 2α12k + 2 + 3β12k+2
= 2(–ω)12k+2 + 3(–ω2)12k+2
= 2ω2 + 3ω
P6k + 1 = 2α6k+1 + 3β6k+1
= 2(–ω)6k+1 + 3(–ω2)6k+1
= –2ω – 3ω2
⇒ P12k+2 – P6k+1 = (2ω2 + 3ω) – (–2ω – 3ω2)
= –2 – 3 = –5

Now, Pk = 2αk + 3βk

∵ α2 – α + 1 = 0
2αk+2 – 2αk+1 + 2αk = 0
similarly 3βk+2 – 3βk+1 + 3βk = 0
= 2(–1) + 3(–1) = –5 (∵ α2 – α = β2 – β = –1)

Final Answer: (6)
