f(x) = x - is derivable at all x  R – I , and f ‘(x) = 1 for all x  R – I 

Q6. The number of tangents to the circle through the point ( - 1, 2) is
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

The given equation of the circle can be written as 

(x-1)2 - 1 + (y- 2)2 - 4 = 0

(x - 1)2 + (y + 2)2 = 5

This implies the radius is  and the centre is (1,-2)

The given point is (-1,2)

The distance between the centre of the  circle and the given point is

 = 

Sice this is greater than the radius, the point lies outside the circle. Hence two tangents can be drawn.


Q7. Let that  for all natural numbers n. also , if P ( m ) is true , m  N , then we conclude that
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

This criteria is from the basic principle of mathematical induction.

Q8. In a triangle ABC, cosec A (sin B cos C + cos B sin C) equals
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

cosecA(sinBcosC+cosBsinC)=cosecA.sin(B+C)[A+B+C=π]=sin(B+C)sinA=sin(πA)sinA=sinAsinA=1
