This indicates that number of valence shell electrons is 1 and atomic number (n+2) should be an
alkali metal.
Also for atomic number (n+3), I3 >> I2
This indicates that it will be an alkaline earth metal which suggests that atomic number (n+1)
should be a noble gas & atomic number (n) should belong to Halogen family. Since n < 10; hence n
= 9 (F atom)
Note : n = 1 (H atom) cannot be the answer because it does not have I2 & I3 values.

33) Question Explanation: Identify the number of alkali metals from the provided list of eight
elements.

Concept: Group 1 elements are alkali metals.

Solution:
Alkali metals are the chemical elements found in Group 1 of the periodic table. From the given
list, we categorize each element:
- Be (Beryllium): Group 2 (Alkaline earth metal)
- B (Boron): Group 13 (Metalloid)
- Na (Sodium): Group 1 (Alkali metal)
- P (Phosphorus): Group 15 (Non-metal)
- K (Potassium): Group 1 (Alkali metal)
- Cl (Chlorine): Group 17 (Halogen)
- Br (Bromine): Group 17 (Halogen)
- Cs (Cesium): Group 1 (Alkali metal)

The three alkali metals are Sodium (Na), Potassium (K), and Cesium (Cs).

Final Answer: correct answer is 3.00

37) In Δ|a – b| < c ; |b – c| < a; |c – a| < b

∴ a2 + b2 – 2ab < c2, b2 + c2 – 2bc < a2, c2 + a2 – 2ac < b2
Hence : a2 + b2 + c2 < 2(ab + bc + ca)
a2 + b2 + c2 – 2(ab + bc + ca) < 0

Question Explanation: Find the sum of non-common roots of three quadratic equations.
Concept: Relations between roots and coefficients of quadratic equations.
Solution:
Let the common root be k > 0.

1. For x2 + px + 12 = 0, roots are k and

. Also, k2 + pk + 12 = 0.

2. For x2 + qx + 15 = 0, roots are k and .

Also, k2 + qk + 15 = 0.

3. For x2 + (p+q)x + 36 = 0, roots are k and .

Also, k2 + (p+q)k + 36 = 0.

From the first two equations: pk = -(k2 + 12) and qk = -(k2 + 15).

Substitute these into the third equation:

k2 +[-(k2 + 12) - (k2 + 15)] + 36 = 0

k2 - 2k2 - 27 + 36 = 0

-k2 + 9 = 0 k = 3 (since root is positive).

Now find α , =4

Sum: = 4 + 5 + 12 = 21.

43) Question Explanation:

We have to check which of the options are correct if α, β are the roots of ax2 + bx + c = 0.

Concept:
This question is based on relation between roots and coefficient of an equation.

Solution:
x2 + ax + b = 0
α + β = –a, αβ = b
α2 + β2 = (α + β)2 – 2αβ = a2 – 2b
Quadratic with roots α2,β2

x2 – (a2 – 2b)x + b2 = 0

Quadratic with roots

bx2 + ax + 1 = 0

Quadratic with roots

bx2 – (a2 – 2b)x + b = 0

Question Explanation: Finding relations between coefficients when two cubic equations
share roots.
Concept: Relation between roots and coefficients of polynomial equations.
Solution:
Let roots of x3 + 10x2 + px + q = 0 be α, β, γ and roots of x3 + 4x2 + px + r = 0 be α, β, δ.
Subtracting equations gives 6x2 + (q – r) = 0.
Since roots are α and β, α + β = 0.
Sum of roots for first eq: α + β + γ = –10 ⇒ 0 + γ = –10 ⇒ γ = –10.
Sum of roots for second eq: .
Sum of uncommon roots: γ + δ = –10 + (–4) = –14.
Product of uncommon roots: γδ = (–10)(–4) = 40.
here γ = –10 satisfy first equation
⇒ –1000 + 1000 – 10p + q = 0 ⇒ –10p + q = 0
and δ = –4 satisfy second equation
⇒ – 64 + 64 – 4p + r = 0 ⇒ 4p – r = 0
Final Answer: Options (1) and (2) are correct.
45) Solution: Given
(t + 2)2 ∈ [0, ∞)
⇒ (t + 2)2 + 1 ∈ [1, ∞)

⇒ ∈ (0, 1]

⇒ ∈ (1, 6]
So range of p(t) is (1, 6] t ∈ R
Now Q(x) = x2 – 2mx + 6m – 41 is upward parabola we have Q(x) < 0 for all values of (1, 6]

Q(1) ≤ 0 and Q(6) < 0 must be satisfied simultaneously

⇒ 1 – 2m + 6m – 41 ≤ 0 ⇒ 4m – 40 ≤ 0 ⇒ m ≤ 10 ..........(i)
and Q(6) < 0 ⇒ 36 – 12m + 6m – 41 < 0 ⇒ 6m > –5

46) Question Explanation: In this question we have given three quadratic expressions
involving coefficient a, b, c.
(i) ax2 + 2bx + c > 0 ∀ x ∈ R
(ii) ax2 + bx + c = 0 and cx2 + bx + a = 0 have a common root.
(iii) We need to determine which of the given statements about a, b, c must be true.
Concept: This question is based on common roots and graph of quadratic expression.
Let f(x) = ax2 + bx + c. f(x) > 0 ∀ x ∈ R
Holds true if
Solution:
ax2 + 2bx + c > 0 ∀ x ∈ R
⇒ a > 0 & c > 0 & 4b2 – 4ac < 0 ⇒ b2 < ac
For quadratic ax2 + bx + c = 0

D = b2 – 4ac =
⇒D<0 (Since b2 – ac < 0 & ac > 0)
So both roots are imaginary
⇒ Both roots of ax2 + bx + c = 0 &
cx2 + bx + a = 0 are same

So .... (1)
b2 < 4ac ⇒ b2 < 4a2
⇒ –2|a| < b < 2|a|
b < 2a
⇒ 2b < 4a

50)
(1) x2 – ax – 2 < 2(x2 + x + 1) ⇒ a ∈ (–6, 2)
(2) x2 – ax – 2 > –3x2 – 3x – 3 ⇒ a ∈ (–1, 7)
⇒ a ∈ (–1, 2)

51) x4 – 2ax2 + x + a2 – a = 0
a2 – (2x2 + 1) a + x4 + x = 0
D = (2x2 + 1)2 – 4(x4 + x)
= 4x4 + 4x2 + 1 – 4x4 – 4x
D = (2x – 1)2

2a = 2x2 + 1 + 2x – 1
2a = 2x2 + 2x
2a = 2x2 + 1 – 2x + 7
x2 + x– a = 0
D≥0
1 + 4a ≥ 0
4a ≥ 1

a≥
2
a=x –x+1
x2 – x + 1 – a = 0
1 – 4(1 – a) ≥ 0
1 – 4 + 4a ≥ 0
4a – 3 ≥ 0
4a ≥ 0

Hence a = 1

52) Let V1 and V2 be the vertices of the parabola f(x) and g(x) respectively.
We have V1 ≡ (1, a) and
 V2 ≡ (a, – a2 + 10 – 2a)

Now, a < – a2 + 10 – 2a
⇒ a2 + 3a – 10 < 0
∴ (a + 5) (a – 2) < 0
⇒–5<a<2
∴ Largest natural number a = 1

53)

Now

(cos4x + sin2x)2 = cos8x + sin4x + 2cos4xsin2x

= sin4x + cos4x(cos4x + 2sin2x)
= sin4x + cos4x((1 – sin2x)2 + 2sin2x)
= sin4x + cos4x + sin4xcos4x
