Q1. The locus of a variable point whose distance from the point ( 2, 0) is  times its distance from the line  is
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Let the point be (x,y)

Hence (x-2)2 + (y-0)2 = 

(x- 2)2 + y2 = (x - 9/2)

On simplifying we get the equation of an ellipse

Q8. The number of ways, in which a student can choose 5 courses out of 8 courses, when 2 courses are compulsory, is
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

Total number of courses available=8

Number of courses which are not compulsary=8-2=6

Since two courses are compulsory a student can choose them in  different ways.

The remaining 3 courses can be chosen from the  6 non-compulsory courses in 

Therefore total number of ways=.=


Q9. For a complex number z,  is
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:



Q10. In the following case, determine whether the given planes are parallel or perpendicular, and in case they are neither, find the angles between them. 2x – 2y + 4z + 5 = 0 and 3x – 3y + 6z – 1 = 0
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

We have,
2x – 2y + 4z + 5 = 0 and 3x – 3y + 6z = 0 . Here , 

Therefore , the given planes are parallel.
