Q1. In how many ways can the letters of the word ‘MATHEMATICS ‘be permuted so that consonants always occur together?
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

In the word 'MATHAEMATICS'  there are   7 consonants which are M-2 ,,H-1,C-1,S-1, T-2 .Since they have to occur together we treat them as a single unit.

Now this single unit together with the remaining 4 vowels which are A-2,E-1,and I-1  will account for 5 letters.

Now in these 5 letters we have A is repeating twice  these can be aarranged in   different ways.

Corresponding to each of these arrangements the consonents can be arranged in  different ways.

Hence the number of ways it can be arranged is  =75600


Q2. Length of common chord of the circles and  is
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:


Applying the completing the square

Comparing the above equation with  we get its center as (-1,-3) and radius (r1)=

Comparing the above equation with  we get its center as (2,1) and radius (r2)=

So distance(d) between the centers is   units
After applying general formula of length of common chord as  and putting the values of r1, r2 and d we get length as 
.




Q3. Order of a differential equation is defined as
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Order of a differential equation is defined as the order of the highest order derivative of the dependent variable present in the differential equation.

Q4. If l, m, n are the direction cosines of a line, then
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

 we know that direction cosines is coefficient of i,j,k of unit vector along that line ,i.e those coefficient are l,m,n .the length of the line r is such that  and magnitute of unit vector r is 1 and . on squaring both side we get 
Q5. In a triangle ABC, if A =  and B =  then b + 2 c is equal to
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:



Q6. The area of the loop between the curve y = a sin x and the x – axis and x= 0 , x=π. is
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

Required area =
0πasinxdx=a[cosx]π0=a(cosπ+cos0)=a(1+1)=2a

Q7. The direction cosines of X -axis are
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

As we know that if a lines makes angles b and c with X-axis , Y-axis and Z-axis respectively then direction cosines are given by  cos a , cos b ,cos c >

In our case line is X-axis itself which we know makes angle of 0 , 90 , 90 with  X-axis , Y-axis and Z-axis respectively then direction cosine will be

<cos 0 , cos 90, cos 90>

= < 1 0 0 > 

 


Q8. The number of all possible matrices of order 3×3 with each entry 0 or 1 is
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:


The number of elements in a 3 X 3 matrix is the product 3 X 3=9.

Each element can either be a 0 or a 1.

Given this, the total possible matrices that can be selected is 29=512


Q9. If the graph of a differentiable function y = f (x) meets the lines y = – 1 and y = 1, then the graph
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

Since the graph cuts the lines y = -1 and y = 1 , therefore ,it must cut y = 0 atleast once as the graph is a continuous curve in this case.

Q10. Let A and B be two sets such that {tex}n(A)=35,n(B)=42\quad and\quad n(A\cap B)=17{/tex}, find {tex}n(A-B){/tex}
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.
