= 9((α + β)2 – 2αβ)

61)

Let f(x) = x2 – 2kx + (k2 + k – 5)

Now, D ≥ 0 ⇒ k ≤ 5 ... (i)

<5⇒k<5 ... (ii)

and f(5) > 0 ⇒ k < 4 or k > 5 ... (iii)
∴ (i) ∩ (ii) ∩ (iii)
⇒
62)

63) The value of expression

=2+3–2=3

64)
⇒a+2=3
∴a=1

65) Ans : A OR C
(A)
Let a = ,b=

or

⇒ > 1 ⇒ a > b ∴ True

(B) = 2 ∀ k > 0 & k ≠ 1 ∴ false

(C)

= 1 ∴ false
(D) sgn [log6 5] = 0 ∴ false
∴ correct option is (A) Ans.

66)

= –3

67)

Let ,
a11x12 + a22x22 + a33x32 + (a12 + a21)x1x2 + (a13 + a31)x1x3 + (a23 + a32)x2x3 = 0.
Its true for every x1, x2, x3 then a11 = a22 = a33 = 0, a12 + a21 = 0, a13 + a31 = 0, a23 + a32 = 0.
∴ A is skew symmetric matrix
a21 = –2008
a31 = –2010
a32 = 2012

68) Put x = cosθ,

69)

Put x2 = t

70) c(x – 2) – (y + 3) = 0
point at which lines are concurrent = (2, –3)

=3

71)

72)
⇒ x = 2 + λ, y = 2λ + 9, z = 3λ + 13
This lies on L2

∴
by q and r : λ = –3
put in q and solve p and q, a = –3

73) Area

74) Radical axis ≡ S – S′ = 0

⇒ 2x(1 – k) + 2y(k – 0) + (5 – k) = 0
is normal to given circle hence centre lies on radical axis
⇒ 2(1 – k) + 2(k – 0) + 5 – k = 0
2 – 2k + 2k + 5 – k = 0
⇒k=7

75) Let
∵

⇒k=6
