Q1. Let P ( n ) denote the statement  is odd , It is seen that  , therefore P ( n ) is true for all
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Since if n = 1 the answer is 2 which is even . also p ( 1 ) = p ( 2 ) is also not true since p(2 ) is 6 which is even.

Q2. Two perpendicular tangents to the circle  meet at P. The locus of P is
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

locus of P is a circle with centre at origin and radius .This is known as the director circle of the circle 
Q3. Determine order and degree (if defined) of +sin(y’’’) = 0
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Order = 4 , degree not defined , because the function y’’’ present in the angle of sine function.

Q4. 5 persons board a lift on the ground floor of an 8 storey building. In how many ways can they leave the lift?
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Since they are boarding from ground floor and we are considering the number of ways they leave the lift ,we can consider there are 7 floor sas we exclude the ground floor)

As each of the 5 persons can leave the lift in 7 ways, required number of ways= 75

Q7.

The area bounded by y = 2cosx , x = 0 to x =2π and the axis of x in square units is


Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

$= == 2 
Therefore , total area from x= 0 to x = 2 is 4 X 2= 8 sq. units.
