Explanation:
The trajectories of two projectiles are given. We have to compare their time of flight and
velocities of projection.

Concept:
This question is based on two-dimensional projectile motion.

Solution:
Since the maximum heights of both projectiles are same,
their vertical components of velocity are equal.

So,
v₁ sinθ₁ = v₂ sinθ₂

Hence,
Time of flight depends only on vertical component,
therefore T₁ = T₂.

Given θ₁ > θ₂.

For the same vertical component, the projectile with larger angle must have smaller speed.

Thus,
v₁ < v₂.

35) Question Explanation:

Select the ion has highest ionisation energy

Concept:
This question is based on ionisation energy.

Solution:

F– is smaller in size than Cl– and S–, meaning its nucleus has a stronger effective nuclear
charge and holds onto its electrons more tightly.

A. The extra electron in F– is held very tightly due to its small size and high effective
nuclear charge, making it difficult to remove (high ionization energy).

Therefore, among the options, the fluoride ion (F–) requires the most energy to remove an
electron.

Solution: The graph shows an irregular trend in Ionization Energy (I.E.). For Group 13
elements (B, Al, Ga, In, Tl), I.E. does not decrease uniformly. It decreases from B to Al, then
increases slightly for Ga (due to poor shielding of d-electrons), decreases for In, and increases
again for Tl (due to lanthanide contraction/poor shielding of f-electrons).

Finding number of students; who watch all the games using inclusion and exclusion.

Concept:
Principle of inclusion and exclusion.

Solution:
Total = 500
n(F)=285, n(H)=195, n(B)=115,
n(F∩B)=45, n(B∩H)=50, n(H∩F)=70
n(F∪H∪B)' = 50
⇒ Total – n(F∪H∪B)' = 50
⇒ n(F∪H∪B)' = 450
⇒ n(F) + n(H) + n(B)– n(F ∩ B) – n (F ∩ H) – n (H ∩ B) + n (F ∩ H ∩ B)] = 450
⇒ 285 + 195 + 115 – 45 – 50 – 70 + n(F ∩ H ∩ B) = 450
⇒ n(F ∩ H ∩ B) = 20

Final Answer: Option(1)

59) As a > 0, so this expression will be positive if D < 0

D<0
(5p)2 – 4 × 16 < 0
25p2 – 64 < 0
61) |x – 2| = k
∴ k2 + k – 2 = 0
k = 1, –2
∴ |x – 2| = 1 |x – 2| = –2
⇒ x – 2 = ±1 not possible
x = 3, 1
∴ Sum of real roots = 3 + 1 = 4

62) Question Explanation: We have to find largest integral value of x satisfying given
inequality.

Concept: This question is based on modulus inequality.

Solution:
As we know if |x| ≤ a, a > 0
⇒ x ∈ [–a, a]

–14 ≤ |x – 2| ≤ 4
–14 ≤ |x – 2| and |x – 2| ≤ 4 ⇒ –2 ≤ x ≤ 6

So, largest integral value of x is 6.

Final answer: The correct option is (3).

63)
New equation :

x2 – 5x + 6 = 0

65)

f(x) = ax2 + bx + c
For abc to be positive, D < 0 & a > 0.
∴ Graph will be in option (3)

66) Case-1 : x + 2 = 0 ∴ x = –2
Case-2 : x2 – x – 1 = 1
x2 – x – 2 = 0
(x – 2)(x + 1) = 0
x = 2, x = –1
Case-2 : x2 – x – 1 = –1 and x + 2 must be even
x2 – x = 0
x = 0, x = 1
For x = 0, x + 2 is even, for x = 1, x + 2 is odd.
∴x=0
∴ x = –2, 0, –1, 2

67) x2 + px + 12 = 0
Sum of roots =
Products of roots =

Squaring both sides

68) Using location of roots :

(p + 2)2 – 4 (2p + 9) ≥ 0
(p + 4) (p – 8) ≥ 0
p+2<0
2p + 9 > 0

Intersection
∴ β – 2α = –4 + 9 = 5

69) Solution:
Let P(x) = x2 – (2 – p) x + p – 2
as coefficient of x2 = 1 > 0 so graph of p(x) is upward to parabola.
For an upward–opening parabola to take on both positive and negative values, it must dip
below the x-axis. This means parabola must intersect the x-axis at two distinct points.
So, D > 0 (this equation will have two district roots)
⇒ [–(2 – p)]2 – 4(1)(p – 2) > 0
⇒ (p – 2)2 – 4 (p – 2) > 0
⇒ (p – 2) (p – 2 – 4) > 0
⇒ (p – 2) (p – 6) > 0
⇒ p∈ (–∞, 2) ∪ (6, ∞)

(–2, –4), (–4, –2), (–8, –1)}
Final Answer: 8

72) Let,
⇒ xy + 2y = x2 + x + 7.
⇒ x2 + x(1 – y) + (7 – 2y) = 0
∴∀x∈R⇒D≥0
⇒ D = (1 – y)2 – 4(7 – 2y) ≥ 0
⇒ y2 + 6y – 27 ≥ 0
⇒ (y + 9) (y – 3) ≥ 0

y ∈ (–∞, –9] ∪ [3, ∞)

∴ Smallest positive value of ƒ(x) is 3 Ans.

73) x2 – 3kx + (2k + 1) = 0

having are root is less than 2 and other root is greater than 4,
hence

here f(2) < 0 and f(4) < 0

for f(2) < 0
4 – 6k + 2k + 1 < 0
5 – 4k < 0
5 < 4k
k > 5/4 ......(1)
for f(4) < 0
16 – 12k + 2k + 1 < 0
17 – 10k < 0
k > 17/10 ......(2)
from (1) and (2)

∴ ⇒
hence minimum possible integral value is 2

74) Comparing y2 + 2xy + 2x – my – 3 = 0 with

ax2 + 2hxy + by2 + 2gx + 2ƒy + c = 0, we have a = 0, b = 1, c = –3,

The given expression is reducible into linear factors if abc + 2ƒgh – aƒ2 – bg2 – ch2 = 0
⇒ 0 + 2(–m/2)1.1 – 0 – 1 + 3 = 0
⇒m=2

75) α,β are root of eq. ⇒ α2 – 2α – 20 = 0

⇒ α20– 2α19– 20α18 = 0
So by newton's formula;
⇒ a20 – 2a19 – 20a18 = 0
