PART 3 : MATHEMATICS
51) Explain Question : You are asked to look at all possible 5-element subsets of the set {1,
2, 3, …, 90}. For every subset, identify its smallest and largest number. Then the question
asks you to find the average value of (minimum + maximum) taken across all such subsets.
Concept : For any selection of numbers from 1 to 90, the smallest and largest elements form a
symmetric pair around the midpoint 45.5. Every subset has a mirrored partner whose min and
max are reflected across this midpoint. Both pairs produce the same total (min + max), so the
overall average depends only on symmetry, not on how subsets are formed.
Solution :
52) Explain Question : The question gives you a functional equation involving f(x) and
f(y). Based on this relationship, it defines a particular definite integral expression involving
f(x). Your task is to evaluate that integral using the information provided and express the
result in the given logarithmic form.
Concept : A functional equation of the form means the function must follow
the structure because both sides separate into independent x-terms and y-terms.
Substituting this representation into the integral converts a complicated expression into a
clean logarithmic form. The given value f(2) helps determine the constant C.
Solution :
Put , we get
I=
Hence n = 8 ; m = 11
Final Answer : (C)
53) Explain Question : You are given an infinite series involving inverse tangent functions
and powers of 2. The question asks you to find the total sum of this infinite series.
Concept : The series terms resemble inverse-tangent expressions that can be rewritten as
tan⁻¹(A) − tan⁻¹(B). This form creates a telescoping sequence in which all middle terms cancel.
As a result, only the very first and very last terms influence the total sum, making the series
extremely easy to evaluate once the pattern is recognized.
Solution :
54)
Explain Question : You are given the algebraic expression ((1 + x)(1 - x)(1 + x + x2)9). The
question asks you to find the coefficient of x18 in its expansion.
Concept : The expression simplifies to(1 - x2)(1 + x + x2)9. Multiplying by (1 - x2) shifts power
positions, so the coefficient you need comes from comparing two symmetric coefficients of the
trinomial expansion. The expansion of ((1 + x + x2)9) is symmetric, allowing quick extraction of
specific terms without full expansion
Solution :
(1 + x)(1 – x)10 (1 + x + x2)9
= (1 + x)(1 – x) (1 – x)9(1 + x + x2)9
= (1 – x2)(1 – x3)9
General term of (1 – x2)(1 – x3)9 = (1 – x2)[9Cr (–x3)r]
= 9Cr (–x3)r – 9Cr (–1)r x3r + 2
Coefficient of x18
3r = 18 3r + 2 = 18
r=6 Reject
⇒ 9C6(–1)6 = 84
Final Answer : (B)
Therefore m = 7, n = 6
So, 2m + 3n + mn = 74
Final Answer : (C)
56) Explain Question : Several circles are tangent to each other and tangent to a straight
line. You are asked to compute the radius of one specific circle in this chain, using the given
radii of others.
Concept : When circles touch each other externally and also touch a straight line, the
geometry forces a fixed relation between their radii. The distance between centers must equal
the sum of the radii, while their heights above the tangent line depend directly on their radii.
By applying this tangency rule repeatedly along the chain of circles, the unknown radius is
found.
Solution :
r3 = 36
25r4 = 324
Final Answer : (B)
57) Explain Question : You are given vectors expressed in terms of angles α, β, γ, and δ. The
question asks you to determine which relation among these angles must be true based on the
vector equation.
Concept : The vectors are expressed using cosine and sine components of their respective
angles. When these vectors are added or compared using dot products, the resulting algebra
naturally transforms into trigonometric identities. Simplifying these relationships reveals the
required connection between the angles involved.
Solution :
58) Explain Question : You are given coordinates of two points A and C of a triangle in 3D,
and an angle at vertex B. The question asks you to find the coordinates of point B such that
∠ABC equals 60°.
Concept : Reflecting point A across the angle bisector produces a point A′ that lies on side BC
because the bisector divides the angle symmetrically. Once A′ is known, the direction of BC
helps determine the exact location of point B. This uses two geometric tools reflection in
geometry and line–point intersection in coordinates.
Solution :
Hence,
So, A' ≡ (1, 2, 3)
So,
59) Explain Question : You are given a parabola and one of its tangents. You must find the
equation of the reflected directrix when the directrix is reflected across this tangent, and then
determine how many positive divisors a certain coefficient sum has.
Concept : Reflecting the directrix of a parabola across the tangent at the vertex uses the
property that the tangent line maintains equal angles with symmetric lines.
The reflected directrix becomes another straight line whose coefficients determine a numeric
value. The problem then turns into a divisor-counting task using this coefficient sum.
Solution :
As
or t = –1
So, (3, 9)
Tangent at vertex : x + 3y – 10 = 0
Directrix of P2 is LR of P1
Reflection of Directrix is x + 3y + 30 = 0
So, a + b + c = 34 = 2 × 17
No. of divisors of 34 = 4
Final Answer : (D)
60) Explain Question : You are asked to evaluate a given trigonometric expression involving
angles 3°, 6°, 12°, and 24°, and match it with the correct cotangent angle from the answer
choices.
Concept : The trigonometric angles 3°, 6°, 12°, and 24° follow a doubling pattern. Using
standard angle-doubling identities, the entire complex expression reduces to a single
cotangent expression. This simplified form is then matched with the required cot(θ) structure.
Solution :
Final Answer : (B)
61) Explain Question : You are given a number sequence where each term can be multiplied
or divided by 4 to reach the next term. The question asks : How many different sequences are
possible that start at 4 and end at 1024 after 10 steps
Concept : The number sequence changes by multiplying or dividing by 4 at each step.
Reaching the final value requires a fixed number of multiplications overall.
Counting all possible sequences is equivalent to counting all arrangements of “multiply by 4”
and “divide by 4” operations a combinatorial choice problem.
Solution :
Let an = x and an – 1 = y (x > 0 and y > 0)
Now,
or an = 4an – 1
Each term in the sequence can be obtained from the previous term either by multiplying by 4
or by dividing by 4.
If there are m steps in which we multiply by 4 and (10 – m) steps in which we divide by 4, then
⇒ 42m – 10 = 44 or 2m – 10 = 4 and so m = 7
Number of possible sequences, S, equals the number of ways of arranging these 10 steps,
which equals 10C3
m = 12
Final Answer : (A)
64) Explain Question : Two players play a match where probabilities of winning change after
each loss. The question asks you to find the probability that player B wins the match under
these conditions.
Concept : Player A’s probability changes after every lost set. Therefore, each possible match
outcome must be evaluated with the appropriate probability at every step. Summing the
probabilities of all sequences where A reaches 3 wins first gives P(A wins), and subtracting
this from 1 gives P(B wins).
Solution :
In the tennis match of best of 5 sets, A can win the match if score of A against the score of B is
(3, 0), (3, 1) or (3, 2) then
P1 = Probability of A’s doing score of (3, 0) is
=
P2 = Probability of A scoring (3, 1) is
65) Explain Question : A piecewise function involving absolute value and a quadratic
expression is given. You are asked to find how many points in (0, 2) where the function is
continuous but not differentiable.
Concept : Although the function uses absolute value and a squared expression, it remains
continuous. However, absolute value functions create sharp corners, and the greatest integer
function causes slope changes. These sharp slope changes lead to non-differentiability at
certain points
Solution :
By the Graph of y = f(x), clearly f(x) is continuous
66) Explain Question : Three complex numbers are given. You are asked to compute the
value of a specific magnitude expression involving these complex numbers.
Concept : Expanding the square of the sum of three complex numbers produces magnitude
squares and real parts of pairwise products. Using the given magnitude condition isolates the
sum of these real parts. Rearranging gives the required squared magnitude of the combined
expression.
Solution :
|z1 + z2 + z3|2 = 64
⇒ = 64
= 64 – (4 + 9 + 16) = 35
Final Answer : (C)
67) Explain Question : A differential equation and a point condition are given. You must
express its solution in a particular form and match the coefficients asked in the question.
Concept : The differential equation can be separated into x-terms and y-terms. Integrating
both sides creates logarithmic expressions. The given point condition then determines any
constants, completing the implicit solution.
Solution :
=
At x = 1; y = e ⇒ λ = –e–1
So, a = 1, b = 1, c = 1, d = –1
Final Answer : (C)
68) Explain Question : An algebraic expression involving a, b, and c is given with a condition
a + b + c ≥ 4. The question asks you to find the minimum value of the given expression.
Concept : The numerator simplifies into symmetric factors such as (a − b)(b − c)(c − a).
Dividing by abc gives a rational expression that behaves symmetrically. Using the constraint a
+ b + c ≥ 4, the minimum value is obtained by testing symmetric configurations.
Solution :
Now,
Numerator = a3c – a3b – b3c + b3a – c3a + c3b
= c(a3 – b3) – ab(a2 – b2) – c3(a – b)
= (a – b) [c(a2 + ab + b2) – ab(a + b) – c3]
= (a – b) [a2c + abc + b2c – a2b – ab2 – c3]
= (a – b) [c(a2 – c2) + ab(c – a) + b2 (c – a)]
= (a – b) (c – a) [–c (a + c) + ab + b2]
= (a – b) (c – a) [–ac – c2 + ab + b2]
= (a – b)(c –a) [(ab – ac) + (b – c) (b + c)]
= (a – b) (c – a) (b – c)(a + b + c)
=a+b+c≥4
Final Answer : (C)
69) Explain Question : You are given two linear equations representing lines. The question
asks you to compute the area of the region defined by a distance-based inequality involving
these lines.
Concept : After rotating axes, distances to two lines simplify into |u| and |v|. The inequality
describes two rhombus boundaries.
The region between them has area equal to the difference of these two rhombus areas.
Solution :
70) Explain Question : An integral involving |sin θ| and |cos 2θ| is given. You are asked to
compute its exact value, which depends on whether a certain parameter “a” equals a specific
number.
Concept : Both |sinθ| and |cos2θ| behave predictably over quadrants. Splitting the integral
across these regions allows evaluating it using standard trigonometric integrals and symmetry.
The entire expression reduces to a form containing a logarithmic term.
Solution :
Apply queen
Apply Queen

Final Answer : (B)
71) Explain Question : Vectors a, b, and c satisfy given dot-product and triple-product
conditions. You must compute the magnitude of vector c that satisfies these constraints.
Concept : Vector c must satisfy two dot-product conditions and one scalar triple product
condition. Together, these form a solvable system of equations for the components of c.
Solving this system yields c and its magnitude.
Solution :

λ1 = 5λ2
and λ1 + λ2 + λ1 + λ1 – 2λ2 = 14

Final Answer : (6)
72) Explain Question : You are given a limit involving a matrix determinant. You are asked to
compute the value of the determinant of the resulting matrix.
Concept : Taking the limit of the matrix entries as x → 0 produces an odd-order skew-
symmetric matrix. All such matrices always have determinant 0 by a standard linear algebra
property. Thus, the determinant of the limit matrix is zero without computation.
Solution :
So, for i = j
And aij = –aji for i ≠ j
= –aij
So, it is skew symmetric matrix of odd order that’s why determinant = 0
Final Answer : (0)
73) Explain Question : You are given a quadratic equation with roots α and β. The question
asks you to form a new polynomial whose root is αβ and compute a specific coefficient

asked to evaluate a definite area under a transformed version of this function.
Concept : Each integral inside g(x) simplifies into a polynomial term. Combining them shows
that g(x) is simply a quadratic. The area under y = 3g(x)(x+1) is then computed using standard
polynomial integration.
Solution :
=x+5
y = 3(x + 5)(x + 1)
75) Explain Question : You are given a frequency table with unknown values α and β. The
question asks you to use the median formula to find α and β, and then compute the sum of all
valid fractional-part values of x that satisfy a given equation.
Concept : The missing frequencies α and β come from the median formula applied to grouped
data. After finding them, they are substituted into the fractional-part equation. Only certain
values satisfy the equation, and summing these valid fractional values gives the answer.
Solution :
Frequency of the class 30 – 40 is α and that of 50 – 60 is β
∴ α + β = 230 – (12 + 30 + 65 + 25 + 18) = 80
But median =
⇒ α = 73 – 39 = 34
∴ β = 80 – 34 = 46
12{x} = 3 – 2[x]
∴ Sum of
