1) Let principal quantum number of initially excited energy level be n. Photon of maximum
energy is emitted during transitions n → 1.
hence, Emax = (En – E1) …(1)
Since, difference between energy of two consecutive levels decreases when n increases,
therefore, photon of minimum energy is emitted during transition n → (n – 1)
hence, Emin = En – E(n – 1) …(2)

But energy of nth level is given by,

40) |z|n = |z|n–2(z2 + z) + 1 ...(1)

from (1) z2 + z is real

Since Re(z) ≠
⇒ ⇒ z is purely real
from (1) zn–1 + 1 = 0
⇒ z = –1 is only solution

41) Degree of P(x) is 5 with leading coeff. one.

∴ degree of P'(x) is 4 with leading coeff. five.
Hence,
P'(x) = 5(x – 1)(x – 2)2(x – 3)
P'(4) = 5 × 3 × 4 × 1 = 60

46) Question Explanation: Conditional probability of three specific children rolling a prime
number, given at least three children roll a prime number.

Concept: Conditional probability and binomial distribution.

Solution:

P(Prime number) =

∴ ; ;n=6
P(E) = P(r ≥ 3)

∴ a = 4 & b = 21

47) Let the point of intersection of tangents at A and B be P(h, k)

then equation of AB is

Homogenising ellipse with (1) we get
 ...(2)
Combined equation of OA and OB is
x2 + 4y2 + αxy = 0 ...(3)
Compare (2) and (3)

⇒ (h2 – 4) = 4(k2 – 1)
⇒ h2 – 4k2 = 0 ⇒ x2 – 4y2 = 0

Finding probability that given function is strictly increasing.

Concept:
Monotonicity of function, probability

Solution: f'(x) = 3x2 – 2ax + b ≥ 0 ∀ x ∈ R ⇒ (2a)2 – 4(3)(b) ≤ 0

a2 – 3b ≤ 0 This is possible for 16 ordered pairs (a, b)
(1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (1,5), (1,6), (2,2), (2,3),

(2,4), (2,5), (2,6), (3,3), (3,4), (3,5), (3,6) & (4, 6) Hence probability

a1 = 13 – 2d; a2 = 13 – d; a3 = 13; a4 = 13 + d; a5 = 13 + 2d
an = (13 – 2d) + (n – 1)d = (13 – 3d) + nd

= a13–2d + a13–d + a13 + a13+d + a13+2d

S = 5(13+10d)
Now d ≤ 6 as terms are positive
∴ Smax occurs at d = 6 and is equal to 365.
