Q1. The lines ix + my + n = 0 , mx + ny + l = 0 and nx + ly +m = 0 are concurrent if
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

The required condition for concurrency is a3(b1c2 - b2c1) + b3(c1a2 - c2a1) + c3(a1b2 - a2b1) = 0

Here a1 = l, a=m, a3 = n and b1 = m, b2 = n, b3 = l and c1 = n, c2 = l and c3 = m

Substituting the values  we get

n(ml - n2) + l(nm - l2) +m(ln - m2) = 0

This implies l3 + m3 + n3 - 3lmn = 0

That is (l + m+ n)(l2 + m2 + n2 -lm -mn - nl) = 0

This implies l + m + n = 0

Q6. Let the eigenvalues of a 2 x 2 matrix A be 1, -2 with eigenvectors x1 and x2 respectively. Then the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the matrix A− 3A + 4I would, respectively, be
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:



Q7. The line 3x – 4y = 0
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

After completing the square,we get


so center is (0,0) and radius is 5 units.

As the normal should pass through the centre of the circle, center should satisfy the equation of normal

so 3x – 4y = 0 is the equation of normal as (0,0) satisfy this equation.


Q8. where
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

 is valid only if ,  i.e. if
