1.

The angle between the lines whose direction cosines satisfy the equations l +m+n=0 and l2 = m2+n2 is

• π/3

• π/4

• π/6

• π/2

A.

π/3

We know that angle between two lines is

l +m +n= 0
⇒ l = - (m+n)
⇒ (m+n)2 = l2
⇒ m2 +n2 +2mn = m2 +n2
[∵ l2 = m2 +n2, given]
⇒ 2mn = 0
when m = 0 ⇒ l =-n
Hence, (l, m, n) is (1,0-1)
When n =0, then l =-m
Hence, (l,m,n) is (1,0-1)

If a ε R and the equation - 3(x-[x]2 + 2(x-[x] +a2 = 0(where,[x] denotes the greatest integer ≤ x) has no  integral solution, then all possible value of  lie in the interval

• (-1,0) ∪ (0,1)

• (1,2)

• (-2,-1)

• (-∞,-2) ∪ (2, ∞)

A.

(-1,0) ∪ (0,1)

Given a ε R and equation is
-3{x-[x]}2 + 2{x-[x] +a2 = 0
Let t = x - [x], then equation is
-3t2 +2t+ a2 = 0
⇒
∵ t = x - [x] = {X}
∴ 0≤ t≤1

Taking positive sign, we get

⇒
⇒ 1+3a2 <4
⇒ a2-1 <0
⇒(a+1)(a-1) <0

a ε (-1,1)
For no integral solution of a, we consider the interval (-1,0) ∪ (0,1)

If z is a complex number such that |z|≥2, then the minimum value of

• is equal to 5/2

• lies in the interval (1,2)

• is strictly greater than 5/2

• is strictly greater than 3/2 but less than 5/2

B.

lies in the interval (1,2)

|z|  ≥2 is the region on or outside circle whose centre is (0,0) and the radius is 2.
Minimum  is distance of z, which lies on circle |z| = 2 from
therefore, minimum  = Distance of  from (-2,0)

Hence, minimum value of   lies in the interval (1,2)

Three positive numbers form an increasing GP. If the middle term in this GP is doubled, then new numbers are in AP. Then, the common ratio of the GP is

D.

Let a, ar, ar2 be in GP (r>1)
On multiplying middle term by 2, a 2ar are in  AP.
⇒ 4ar = a+ ar2
⇒ r2-4r +1 = 0

If X = {4n - 3n-1 : n ε N} and Y = {9(n-1):n εN}; where N is the set of natural numbers,then X U Y is equal to

• N

• Y-X

• X

• Y

D.

Y

We have X = {4n - 3n-1 : n ε N}
X = {0,9,54,243,.....} [put n = 1,2,3....]
Y = {9(n-1):n ε N}
Y = {0,9,18,27,......}[Put n = 1,2,3....]
It is clear that
⊂ Y
Therefore, X U Y = Y
