Q1. A line is equally inclined to the axis and the length of perpendicular from the origin upon the line is √2. A possible equation of the line is
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

Since the line is equally inclined the slope of the line should be -1, because it makes 1350 in the positive direction of the X axis

This implies the equation of the line is y= -x +c 

i.e; x+y - c =0

distance of the line from the origin is given as 

Therefore  = 

This implies c = 2

Hence the equation of the line is x+y=2


Q2. The false statement in the following is
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

p→q An implication statement,∼q→∼p a contrapositive statement. Implication and contrapositve have same meaning.hence they have identical values. p↔p≡T. hence the above statement will be true always.

Q3.  dx is equal to
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

[−log| cosx|+log| sin x|]=log | tan x|+C

Q4. If a vector r   is expressed in component form as  then x, y and z are referred to as
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

In r  x , y and z represents the components of along x-axis ,y-axis and z-axis respectively.
Q5. Compute P(A|B), if P(B) = 0.5 and P (A ∩ B) = 0.32
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

We have , P(B) = 0.5 and P (A ∩ B) = 0.32


Q6. The range of  x is
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

the domain range of tan function are and R

But tan function is one one and onto only when we shrink range to (-1,1) 

Now tan function which is one and on to has domain   and range(-1,1)

hence domain and range of  function is (-1,1 ) to


Q7. If x + | y | = 2y , then y as a function of x is
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:


Q8. The length of latus rectum of an ellipse is one-third of its major axis. Its eccentricity would be
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

= 2a/3

Hence  = 1/3. Hence e2 = 1- = 1 - (1/3) = 2/3

Therefore e = 


Q9.

The smallest positive integer ‘ n ‘ for which holds is :


Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

When n = 1 ,we get ,which is not valid. When n takes values 2,3,4,5 the inequality is invalid . But when n = 6 we have ,which is valid.

Q10.

The equation (cos p – 1) x2 + (cos p) x + sin p = 0, where x is a variable, has real roots. Then the interval of p may be any one of the following:


Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:
