“IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO HAVE A GOOD MIND, THE MAIN THING IS TO USE IT WELL”
Marks: – 240 Time: – 2hr.
[Each right answer carries 4 marks and wrong – 1]
1. Consider a function f (n) defined for all n N. The function satisfies the following two
conditions
(i) f(1) + f(2) + f(3) + …..to 1.
(ii) f(n) = {(1 – p) p–1} {f(n + 1) + f(n + 2) + …. to }, where 0 < p < 1. Then f(2), is equal to
(a) p (1 – p) (b) 1 – p (c) 1 + p (d) none of these
Sol:
We have,
f(n) = {(1 – p) p–1} {f (n+ 1) + f(n + 2) + ………. to∞}
Put n = 1
f(1) = {(1 – p)p–1 } {f (2) + f(3) + …. to ∞}
= {(1 – p) p–1} {1 – f(p)}
= (1 – p) p–1– (1 – p)p–1 f(1).
f (1) {1 + (1 – p)p–1} = (1 – p)p–1
f(1) . p–1 = (1 – p) p–1
f(1) = 1 – p
Put n = 2
f(2) = {(1 – p) p–1} {f (3) + f(4) + …}
f(2) = {(1 – p) p–1} {1 – 1 + p – f(2)}
= ((1 – p)p–1) (p – f(2))
= (1 – p) – (1 – p) p–1 f(2)
f(2) = {1 + (1 – p)p–1 } = 1 – p

As at x =1, f (x) is not defined, x = 1 is a point of discontinuity of f(x).
If x ≠ 1, f [f(x)] = f1 1 x 1

then the points of discontinuity of the function f3n(x) is/are where
fn = fof ….of (n times), are
(a) x = 2 (b) x = {0, 1} (c) x = – 1 (d) continuous everywhere
Sol:
Clearly, x = 1 is a point of discontinuity of the function f(x) = 1
1 x.
If x ≠ 1, then (fof) (x) = f[f(x)] = f 1 x 1
1 x x
,
which is discontinuous at x = 0
if x ≠ 0 and x ≠ 1, then
(fofof) (x) = f[(fof) (x)] = fx 1

which is continuous everywhere.
So, the only points of discontinuity are x = 0 and x = 1.
Hence (b) is the correct answer.

For 0 ≤ x< 1, [x] = 0 and sin π
[x 1]
is defined.
f (x) = 0 for 0 ≤ x < 1.
Also, f is not defined on {–1, 0), so the continuity of f and 0 mean continuity of f from right at
0. Since f is consitnuous from right at 0, so f is continuous at 0. Hence the set of points of
discontinuity of f is I – {0}.
26. If the function f is defined by y = f(x), where x = 2t – t y = 2t t t , t R, then :
(a) f(x) is differentiable as well as continuous at x = 0
(b) f(x) is continuous but not differentiable at x = 0
(c) f(x) is differentiable but not continuous at x = 0
(d) none of the above
Sol:
When t ≥ 0, |t| = t
x = 2t – t and y = t2 + t . t = 2t2
y = 2x2, when x ≥ 0 [As t ≥ 0 x ≥0]
Also, for t ≤ 0, |t| = – t
x = 2t + t = 3t and y = t2 + t(– t) = 0
y = 0 when x ≤ 0 [As t ≤ 0 x ≤ 0]
Hence the function is defined as:
y = f(x) = 22x , x 0
0, x 0
Now, Lf’ (0) = h 0 h 0
f(0 h) f(0) 0lim lim 0
h h
and Rf’ (0) = 2
h 0 h 0
f(0 h) f(0) 2hlim lim 0
h h
Since Lf’ (0) = R f’ (0), therefore, f(x) is differentiable and Hence continuous at x = 0.

52. Statement-1 : The range of the function f(x) = sin2x + α sin x β where α > 2 will be
real numbers between 2α
β4
and β α 1.
Statement-2 : The function g(t) = t2 + α t + 1 where t [-1, 1] and α > 2 will attain
minimum and maximum values at – 1 and 1.
Sol: (d)
2 2f x sin x α /2 β α /4
If α 2 so α /2 > 1 but sin x 1
so max f(x) 2sin x α sin x β
1 α β, sin x 1
min f(x) = min 2sin x α sin x β
1 α β, sin x 1
range f(x) = [1 α β, 1 α β]
Clearly the statement 2 is true.
53. A function y of x is represented by equation y2 – 1 + log2(x – 1) = 0
Statement-1 : The domain of y is [1, 3]
Statement-2 : The domain of inverse of y is R.
Sol : (b)
The given equation makes sense if x > 1.
Moreover 2y 1 log x 1 makes sense if 21 log x 1 2 x 1 x 3.
Hence the domain of y is [1, 3]. Also 1 – y2 = log2 (x – 1)

f 0 1 lim f x lim 1 x 1

So f is continuous at x = 0.
Since [x] is right continuous but not left continuous at x = 1 so also is f.

So f is continuous at x = π /2. Thus f is continuous on R ~ {1}. Also [x] is not continuous at
ever x I.
56. Suppose X = a b
c d
satisfies the equation X2 – 4X + I = O.
Statement-1 : if a + d 4, then there are just two such matrix X.
Statement -2: There are infinite number of matrices X, satisfying X2 – 4X + 3I = O.
Sol : (b)
2X 4X 3I O X I X 3I O
a 1 a 3 bc b a d 4 0 0
c a d 4 d 1 d 3 bc 0 0
If a + d 4, then b = 0, c = 0.
(a – 1) (a – 3) = 0 (d – 1) (d – 3) = 0.
a 1, , d 1, 3
As a + d 4, a = 1, d = 1 or a = 3, d = 3.
Thus, X = 1 0 3 0
or X0 1 0 3
