38) Question Explanation : Find ratio of number of triangles in the given both cases.
Concept : Based on ncr
Solution :
Concise
Case (i) : A excluded
Total point = m + n
Number of triangles (N1) = mC2 × nC1 + mC1 + nC2 = (m + n –2)
Case (ii) : A included
Total point = m + n + 1.
Number of triangles (N2) = N1 + (Tringles with A)

N2 = (m+n–2) + (mC1 × nC1) = (m + n –2)+ Mn

N2 = (m + n)

Ration =
Final Answer : Option (1)

39) Here (1 – (a – 1))2 + (1 – b)2 = 1

(1 – γ)2 + (1 – (a – 1))2 = 1
so, β = g
so, (1 – γ)2 + (1 – (a – 1))2 = 1

40) Step-1 : Geometry behind cube roots of unity

⇒ cube roots of unity are at vertices of an equilateral triangle inscribed in unit circle :

1, ω =

So we are essentially asking :

max ||z – ω | – |z – ω2||
This is a maximum difference of distances from any point z (on a given circle) to two fixed
points ω,ω2.
Step-2 : General fact
for any two points P, Q and any point Z :
||z – P| – |z – Q|| < | P – Q|
Here, |ω – ω2| = .
So the maximum possible value is , but we must check if equality is attained for both radii

(|z| = 3 and |z| = ).

Step-3 : Case 1 : |z| = 3
⇒ The circle |z| = 3 is large and contains ω and ω2 (which lie on unit circle).
⇒ Thus, the max difference of distances is exactly the separation :
.
Step-4 : Case 2 :
⇒ Now z lies inside the small circle of radius 1/3.⇒ Both ω,ω2 lie outside (on unit circle).
⇒ Then for any such z, the difference of distances from z to ω,ω2 is strictly less than
.
⇒ Hence :

Final Answer :
so the correct option is (c)

roots of unity.

Now,

Let ∠D2PS2 = ∠D1PS1 = α
{∴ tangent bisects angle S1PS2 externally}
Then PF2 = PS2 cos α, PF1 = PS1 cos α
⇒ F1F2 = PF1 + PF2 = (PS1 + PS2) cos α = a

⇒ 2a cos α = a ⇒ cos α = ⇒ α = 60°

∠PD1S1 = 90° – 60° = 30° ⇒ ΔD1D2 Q is isosceles ⇒ D1Q = D2Q

Option A as

i s –ve

Let

Similarly solve other options

47) Solution:
Given a1 = 15
27 – 2a2 > 0
ak = 2ak – 1 – ak –2 ∀ k = 3, 4, 5 .... 11

all ai(i = 1, 2, ........ 11) are in A.P.

Let the numbers are
(a6 + 5d), (a6+4d),......, a6,...., (a6 – 4d), (a6 –5d)

a6 = 15 – 5d

(15 – 5d)2 + 10d2=90 ⇒ 7d2 – 30d + 27 = 0

⇒d=
for d = 3 ⇒ a2 = 12 (possible)
for d = 9/7 ⇒ a2 = 13.7 (not possible since a2 < 13.5)

a6 = 0 ⇒ = a6 = 0

Final Answer: 0.

48) equation x2 – 6(t2 – 2t + 2)x – 2 = 0 has roots α and β.

So α, β will satisfy the equation
α2 – 6(t2 – 2t + 2)α – 2
α2 – 2 = 6(t2 – 2t + 2)α ..... (1)
Similarly β2 – 2 = 6(t2 – 2t + 2)β ..... (2)

(from (1) & (2))

= 6(t2 – 2t + 2) = 6((t – 1)2 + 1)

Minimum value of 6(t – 1)2 + 1) = 6(02 + 1) = 6

50) Any line passing through k is

=r
Co-ordinates of P & Q are (d + kP cos θ, kPsin θ)
& (d – kP cos θ, –kQ sin θ)
points P & Q lie on y2 = 4ax then
KP2 sin2 θ = 4a(d + KPcos θ) ... (1)
KQ2sin2 θ = 4a(d – KQ cos θ) ... (2)
from equation (1)

KP
from equation (2)

KQ

for d = 2a

which is independent of θ so point is (2a, 0).

a2 = 16, b2 = 1
a = 4, b = 1

let A(x1, y1) and B(x2, y2) then P, Q will be and

mid point of AB will be

mid point of PQ will be

⇒ mid point of AB will be (h, 4k)
let point S(t, t + 8) be a point on y = x + 8
AB is chord of contact of x2 + y2 = 16
⇒ xt + y(t + 8) = 16 ....(i)
AB as chord whose mid point is (h, 4k)
xh + y(4k) = h2 + 16k2 ...(ii)

⇒ and
⇒

⇒ x2 + 16y2 + 2x – 8y = 0
x2 + αy2 + βx + γy = 0
⇒ α = 16, β = 2, γ = –8
⇒ α – β + γ = 16
