Since blocks A and B are connected, they will have same acceleration. So let us consider both
the blocks + rope as a system and drawing its FBD, we have

10g – 80 = 10a
100 – 80 = 10a
20 = 10 a
a = 2 m/s2
Thus, whole system is moving downwards with an acceleration of 2 m/s2. Now to find tension
at mid point of the rope, we are drawing the FBD of the lower part of the system from the mid
point of the rope.

Here T is the tension at the mid point of the rope.

Now
6g – T = 6 × a
6 × 10 – 6 × 2 = T
60 – 12 = T
T = 48 N
Thus, tension at the mid point of the rope is 48N

Answer : 1

50) 3.6 × 1.6 × 10–13 =

Z = 20

MATHEMATICS

51)

52)

a4 + a8 + a12 = k
a + 3d + a + 7d + a + 11d = k
3a + 21d = k
a + 7d = ...(1)

53)

54) tp = a + (p – 1)d = q ....(i)

tp+q = a + (p + q – 1)d = 0 ....(ii)
(ii) – (i) gives qd = –q Þ d = –1
∴ Now a + (q – 1)d + pd = 0
[by (ii)]
⇒ tq – p = 0 ⇒ tq = p

55) A.P.1 →
2, 5, 8, 11, ........................98
common difference = 3
A.P.2 →
3, 8, 13, 18, 23, ................198
common difference = 5
A.P. which contain common terms of
two A.P.'s →
First term = 8, common difference = 3 × 5 = 15
an ≤98
a + (n – 1)d ≤ 98
⇒ 8 + (n – 1)15 ≤ 98
⇒ (n – 1)15 ≤ 90
⇒ (n – 1)d ≤ 6
⇒ n≤7
⇒ n=7

56)

57) logba = 3, ,

∴
logda = 5

58)

log10(2y – 3x)2 = log10xy

(2y – 3x)2 = xy
 ;
y = x (Reject)

59) ⇒
⇒ x3 = 4 + 3(–1)x ⇒ x3 + 3x – 4 = 0
⇒ x2(x – 1) + x(x – 1) + 4(x – 1)
⇒ (x – 1) (x2 + x + 4) = 0
x=1

60) ⇒
2/3 1/3
15 = (225)
∴ irrational.

61)
function to be defined |x| + 2 ≠ 0
|x| ≠ –2, which is always time ∀ x
x∈R
Now for denominator
|x| + 1 ≥ 0
which is > 0 ∀ x but will never be zero for any x
∴ x∈R

62)

= α2 + β2
= (α + β)2 – 2αβ
= 27

63) tanθ1 + tanθ2 + tanθ3 = a + 1

Σtanθ1tanθ2 = b – a
tanθ1tanθ2tanθ3 = b

64)
(x – 2)2 = 3 ⇒ x2 – 4x + 1 = 0
65) |x – 1| + |x – 2| + |x – 3| ≥ 6
(i) If x ≤ 1 Þ x ≤ 0
(ii) If 1 < x < 2 ⇒ x ≤ –2, rejected
(iii) If 2 ≤ x < 3 ⇒ x ≥ 6, rejected
(iv) If x ≥ 3 ⇒ x ≥ 4

66)

α = 10°; n = 36; β = 10°

67)

We have
cos x + cos y = –cosα
& sin x + sin y = –sinα

cos C + cos D = 2cos

sin C + sin D = 2sin

= –cosα ...(1)

& 2sin = –sinα ...(2)

(1)/(2) gives

68) tanA tanB tanC = tanA + tanB + tanC if

A + B + C = nπ.

69)

70) 2sin2θ + 3cos2θ = 2sin2θ + cos2θ + cos2θ

= (2sin2θ + cos2θ) + cos2θ
= 2 + cos2θ
We know that,
0 < cos2 θ ≤ 1
⇒ 2 < 2 + cos2θ ≤ 2 + 1
⇒ 2 < 2 + cos2θ ≤ 3
∴ Minimum value of 2 sin2θ + 3cos2θ = 2.
71) ∵ 21º + 22º + 47º = 90º
⇒ t21º t22º + t22ºt27º + t47ºt21 = 1

72)

||x–1|–2| = 5
|x – 1| –2 = ± 5
|x – 1| = 5 + 2, –5 + 2
x–1=7
x = 8, –6

73) S = 2(198 + 190 + 182 +....6) = 5100

sum of digit = 6

74) As a > 0
and all the given terms are positive
Hence considering A.M. G.M. for given numbers:

⇒ =7
where a–5 = a–4 = a–3 = a8 = a10 i.e. a = 1
⇒ (a–5 + a–4 + 3a–3 + a8 + a10 + 1)min = 8 when a = 1

75)

D = (2)2– 4 (–1) (3) = 16
