Statement2 : Least common multiple of the periods of sin x and cos (x) is an irrational

Statements-1: The domain of the function f(x) = cos-1x + tan-1x + sin-1x is [-1, 1]
Statements-2: sin-1x, cos-1x are defined for |x| 1and tan-1x is defined for all x.
(A)
Both A and R are obviously correct.
Statement-1 : The period of f(x) = = sin2x cos [2x] cos2x sin [2x] is 1/2
Statements-2: The period of x [x] is 1, where [] denotes greatest integer function.
(A)
f(x) = x [x]
f(x + 1) = x + 1 ([x] + 1) = x [x]
So, period of x [x] is 1.
Let f(x) = sin (2x [2x])

f x sin 2 x 2 x

2

= sin (2x + 1 [2x] 1)


= sin (2x [2x])

22.

Ans.

Statements-1 : Period of f(x) = sin 4 {x} + tan [x] were, [] & {} denote we G.I.F. &
fractional part respectively is 1.
Statements-2: A function f(x) is said to be periodic if there exist a positive number T
independent of x such that f(T + x) = f(x). The smallest such positive value of T is called the
period or fundamental period.
(A)
Clearly tan [x] = 0 xR and period of sin 4 {x} = 1.
x 1
Statements-1: f(x) =
is one-one function
x 1
x 1
Statements-2:
is monotonically decreasing function and every decreasing function is
x 1
one-one.
(A)
x 1
f(x) =
x 1
(x 1) (x 1)
2

0
f(x) =
2
(x 1)
(x 1) 2
So f(x) is monotonically decreasing & every monotonic function is one-one.
So a is correct.
Statements-1: f(x) = sin2x (|sinx| - |cosx|) is periodic with fundamental period /2
Statements-2: When two or more than two functions are given in subtraction or multiplication
form we take the L.C.M. of fundamental periods of all the functions to find the period.
(A)
f(x) = sin2x (|sinx| -|cosx|) is periodic with period /2 because f(/2 + x) = sin 2 (/2 + x) (|sin
(/2 + x)|
-|cos (/2 + x)|)
= sin ( + 2x) (|cosx| - |sinx|)
= -sin2x (|cosx| - |sinx|)
= sin2x (|sinx| - |cosx|)
Sometimes f(x + r) = f(x) where r is less than the L.C.M. of periods of all the function, but
according to definition of periodicity, period must be least and positive, so r is the
fundamental period.
So f is correct.
Statements-1: ex = lnx has one solution.
Statements-2: If f(x) = x f(x) = f1(x) have a solution on y = x.

Ans. (D)
Sol. Statement II is true as the centre is equidistant from A and B, hence lies on the perpendicular
bisector of AB.
Statement I is false because the distance between the given points is 10 and hence any circle
through A and B has radius more than or equal to 5, and hence there is no circle of radius 4
through A and B is possible.
Hence (d) is the correct answer.

gx + fy + c = 0
Equation of circle OPQ must be,
(x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c) + (gx + fy + c) = 0
Now make it pass through (0, 0) = - 1
Hence equation of OPQ is, x2 + y2 + gx + fy = 0.

can be arranged in n 1 ways
Statement II is false, as after arranging boys on the circle in n 1 ways, girls can be arranged

There-fore equation f(x) = 0 has one root in (- , sin ) and other in (cos , )
Hence (c) is the correct answer.

Statement-1 : The number of real roots of |x|2 + |x| + 2 = 0 is zero.


Statement-2 : xR, |x| 0.
(A)
equation can be written as (2x)2 (a 4) 2x (a 4) = 0
2x = 1 & 2x = a 4
Since x 0 and 2x = a 4 [Q x is non positive]
0<a414<a5
i.e., a (4, 5]
Hence ans. (B).
Statement-1: If all real values of x obtained from the equation 4 x (a 3) 2x + (a 4) = 0 are
non-positive, then a (4, 5]
Statement-2: If ax2 + bx + c is non-positive for all real values of x, then b 2 4ac must be ve
or zero and a must be ve.
(D)
Statement-1: If a , b , c , d R such that a < b < c < d, then the equation

Statement-2: If f(x) = 0 is a polynomial equation and a, b are two real numbers such that
f(a) f(b) < 0 has at least one real root.
(A)
Let f(x) = (x a) (x c) + 2 (x b) (x d)
Then f(a) = 2 (a b) (a d) > 0
f(b) = (b a) (b c) < 0
f(d) = (d a) (d b) > 0
Hence a root of f(x) = 0 lies between a & b and another root lies between (b & d).
Hence the roots of the given equation are real and distinct.

Statement-2: The equation (p, q, r R) x2 + qx + r = 0 has non-real roots if q2 4pr < 0.
(D)
R is obviously true. So test the statement let f(x) = (x p) (x r) + (x q) (x s) = 0
Then f(p) = (p q) (p s)
f(r) = (r q) (r s)

Statement II is a known fact, and hence true. Putting A =


sin 3A = 3 sin A 4sin 3A, we get 8x3 6x +1 = 0, where x = sin

in the formula

Let f be any one of the six trigonometric functions. Let A, B R satisfying f(2A) = f(2B).
Statement1 : A = n + B, for some n I.
Statement2 : 2 is one of the period of f.

597.

Sol.

Statement II is true, because each trigonometric function has a principle period of or 2 and
hence 2 is one of the period of every trigonometric function.
Thus f(2A) = f(2B)
2A = 2n + 2B, for some n I
A = n + B. Therefore statement I is true because of statement II.
