\([x]\) denotes integral part of \(x\). For \(n\in\mathbb N\), \[ f(x)= \begin{cases} \left\lfloor |x|\left\lfloor\frac1{|x|}\right\rfloor\right\rfloor,&|x|\neq\frac1n
0,&|x|=\frac1n \end{cases} \]
Then for \(|x|\neq \frac1n\), \(f(x)=\)
View Solution
Step 1: Let
\[ t=|x| \]
and define
\[ k=\left\lfloor\frac1t\right\rfloor \]
Since \(k\) is an integer,
\[ k\le \frac1t
Step 2:
Taking reciprocal,
\[ \frac1{k+1}
Multiplying by \(k\),
\[ \frac{k}{k+1}
Step 3:
Since \(t\neq \frac1n\),
\[ kt<1 \]
Hence
\[ 0
Thus,
\[ \lfloor kt\rfloor=0 \]
Therefore,
\[ f(x)=0 \] Quick Tip: If \(0
If \(f\) satisfies
\[ f(x+y)+f(x-y)=2f(x)f(y) \]
for all \(x,y\in\mathbb R\), then \(f(10)-f(-10)=\)
View Solution
Step 1:
Put \(x=0\),
\[ f(y)+f(-y) = 2f(0)f(y) \]
Now put \(x=0,y=0\),
\[ 2f(0) = 2[f(0)]^2 \]
\[ f(0)=1 \]
Step 2:
Substitute into equation,
\[ f(y)+f(-y) = 2f(y) \]
Hence,
\[ f(-y)=f(y) \]
So \(f(x)\) is an even function.
Step 3:
Therefore,
\[ f(10)-f(-10) = f(10)-f(10) \]
\[ =0 \] Quick Tip: If \(f(-x)=f(x)\), then \(f\) is even.

Step 1:
General term,
\[ T_k = k(3k+2) \]
\[ = 3k^2+2k \]
Step 2:
\[ S_n = \sum_{k=1}^{n}(3k^2+2k) \]
\[ = 3\sum k^2 + 2\sum k \]
Step 3:
Using standard formulas,
\[ \sum k = \frac{n(n+1)}2 \]
\[ \sum k^2 = \frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}6 \]
Step 4:
Substitute:
\[ S_n = \frac{n(n+1)(2n+3)}2 \] Quick Tip: First derive the general term before summing.

Write
\[ A = uu^T \]
where
\[ u= \begin{bmatrix} a
b
c \end{bmatrix} \]
Step 2:
Then,
\[ A^2 = (uu^T)(uu^T) \]
\[ = u(u^Tu)u^T \]
Step 3:
\[ u^Tu = a^2+b^2+c^2 = 1 \]
Thus,
\[ A^2 = u(1)u^T = A \] Quick Tip: For rank-1 matrix \(uu^T\), \[ (uu^T)^2=(u^Tu)(uu^T) \]
Evaluate
\[ \begin{vmatrix} -a^2&ab&ac
ab&-b^2&bc
ac&bc&-c^2 \end{vmatrix} \]
View Solution
Step 1:
Take \(a,b,c\) common from rows:
\[ D = abc \begin{vmatrix} -a&b&c
a&-b&c
a&b&-c \end{vmatrix} \]
Now take \(a,b,c\) common from columns,
\[ D = a^2b^2c^2 \begin{vmatrix} -1&1&1
1&-1&1
1&1&-1 \end{vmatrix} \]
Step 2:
Evaluate determinant,
\[ = 4 \]
Hence,
\[ D = 4a^2b^2c^2 \] Quick Tip: Always factor common terms from rows and columns before expanding determinants.

A candidate must answer 7 out of 12 questions divided into two parts of 6 each. He cannot answer more than 5 from each part. Number of ways to choose 7 questions.
View Solution
Step 1: Total ways without restriction
The candidate chooses 7 questions from 12:
\[ ^{12}C_7=792 \]
Step 2: Find invalid selections
He cannot select more than 5 questions from any part.
Invalid case:
Selecting 6 questions from Part I and 1 from Part II:
\[ ^{6}C_6\times ^6C_1 \]
\[ =1\times6 \]
\[ =6 \]
Similarly,
Selecting 6 from Part II and 1 from Part I:
\[ 6 \]
Total invalid cases:
\[ 6+6 \]
\[ =12 \]
Step 3: Required number of ways
\[ 792-12 \]

Number of integral terms in
\[ \left(5^{1/2}+7^{1/8}\right)^{1024} \]
View Solution
Step 1: Write general term
\[ T_{r+1} = ^{1024}C_r (5^{1/2})^{1024-r} (7^{1/8})^r \]
\[ = ^{1024}C_r 5^{\frac{1024-r}{2}} 7^{\frac r8} \]
Step 2: Condition for integral term
Exponent of 5:
\[ \frac{1024-r}{2} \]
must be integer.
Hence \(r\) must be even.
Exponent of 7:
\[ \frac r8 \]
must be integer.
Hence \(r\) must be multiple of 8.
Therefore,
\[ r=0,8,16,\dots,1024 \]
Step 3: Count terms
Number of values:
\[ \frac{1024}{8}+1 \]
\[ 128+1 \]
\[ =129 \]
Hence number of integral terms:
\[ \boxed{129} \] Quick Tip: For integral terms, exponents of prime factors must become integers.

\[ \frac{1000}{10} \]
\[ =100 \]
Step 2: Count at tens place
In every block of 100 numbers,
digit 5 appears 10 times.
Hence,
\[ 10\times10 \]
\[ =100 \]
Step 3: Count at hundreds place
Numbers from
\[ 500-599 \]
contain digit 5 at hundreds place.
Total:
\[ 100 \]
Step 4: Total occurrences
\[ 100+100+100 \]
\[ =300 \]
Hence required answer:

then find
\[ A_1+A_2+A_3+A_4 \]
View Solution
Step 1: Multiply both sides
\[ 4x= A_1(x-1)(x+1)^2 + A_2(x+1)^2 + A_3(x+1)(x-1)^2 + A_4(x-1)^2 \]
Step 2: Put \(x=1\)
\[ 4=4A_2 \]
\[ A_2=1 \]
Put \(x=-1\)
\[ -4=4A_4 \]
\[ A_4=-1 \]
Step 3: Compare highest powers
\[ A_1+A_3=0 \]
Comparing constants:
\[ A_3=A_1 \]
Thus,
\[ A_1=A_3=0 \]
Step 4: Sum
\[ A_1+A_2+A_3+A_4 \]
\[ 0+1+0-1 \]
\[ =0 \]
Hence,
\[ \boxed{0} \] Quick Tip: For repeated linear factors, substitute roots first and then compare coefficients.

If
\[ \cos x=\tan y,\quad \cos y=\tan z,\quad \cos z=\tan x \]
then one value of
\[ \sin x \]
is
View Solution
Step 1: By symmetry take
\[ x=y=z \]
Then
\[ \cos x=\tan x \]
\[ \cos x = \frac{\sin x}{\cos x} \]
\[ \cos^2x = \sin x \]
Step 2: Use identity
\[ 1-\sin^2x=\sin x \]
\[ \sin^2x+\sin x-1=0 \]
Step 3: Solve quadratic
\[ \sin x = \frac{-1\pm\sqrt5}{2} \]
Taking positive value,
\[ \sin x = \frac{\sqrt5-1}{2} \]
Using
\[ \sin18^\circ = \frac{\sqrt5-1}{4} \]
Hence,
\[ \sin x = 2\sin18^\circ \]
\[ \boxed{2\sin18^\circ} \] Quick Tip: For cyclic symmetric equations, first try taking all variables equal.

\(\cos^3 \theta + \cos^3 (\theta +120^\circ)+\cos^3(\theta-120^\circ)=\)
View Solution
Step 1: Apply the cubic identity \[ \cos^3x=\frac{3\cos x+\cos3x}{4} \]
Substituting in the given expression,
\[ =\frac14[3\cos\theta+\cos3\theta] \]
\[ +\frac14[3\cos(\theta+120^\circ)+ \cos(3\theta+360^\circ)] \]
\[ +\frac14[3\cos(\theta-120^\circ)+ \cos(3\theta-360^\circ)] \]
Step 2: Simplify terms
Using
\[ \cos(\theta)+\cos(\theta+120^\circ) +\cos(\theta-120^\circ)=0 \]
Hence first part becomes zero.
Now,
\[ \cos(3\theta+360^\circ) = \cos3\theta \]
and
\[ \cos(3\theta-360^\circ) = \cos3\theta \]
Thus,
\[ =\frac14(3\cos3\theta) \]
\[ =\frac34\cos3\theta \] Quick Tip: Remember: \[ \cos^3x=\frac{3\cos x+\cos3x}{4} \] and three cosine terms separated by \(120^\circ\) sum to zero.

\[ \left(1+\cos\frac{\pi}{8}\right) \left(1+\cos\frac{3\pi}{8}\right) \left(1+\cos\frac{5\pi}{8}\right) \left(1+\cos\frac{7\pi}{8}\right) \]
View Solution
Step 1: Use identity
\[ 1+\cos\theta = 2\cos^2\frac{\theta}{2} \]
Therefore,
\[ P = 16 \left[ \cos\frac{\pi}{16} \cos\frac{3\pi}{16} \cos\frac{5\pi}{16} \cos\frac{7\pi}{16} \right]^2 \]
Step 2: Use standard product identity
\[ \cos\frac{\pi}{16} \cos\frac{3\pi}{16} \cos\frac{5\pi}{16} \cos\frac{7\pi}{16} = \frac{1}{8\sqrt2} \]
Hence,
\[ P = 16 \left( \frac1{8\sqrt2} \right)^2 \]
\[ = 16\times\frac1{128} \]
\[ = \frac18 \] Quick Tip: Convert expressions of type \[ 1+\cos\theta \] into \[ 2\cos^2\frac{\theta}{2} \] before applying product identities.

\[ \sin x-3\sin2x+\sin3x = \cos x-3\cos2x+\cos3x \]
View Solution
Step 1: Use sum-to-product formulas
\[ \sin x+\sin3x = 2\sin2x\cos x \]
Hence,
\[ LHS = \sin2x(2\cos x-3) \]
Similarly,
\[ \cos x+\cos3x = 2\cos2x\cos x \]
Thus,
\[ RHS = \cos2x(2\cos x-3) \]
Step 2: Equate
\[ \sin2x(2\cos x-3) = \cos2x(2\cos x-3) \]
Since
\[ 2\cos x-3\neq0 \]
we get
\[ \sin2x=\cos2x \]
\[ \tan2x=1 \]
\[ 2x=n\pi+\frac{\pi}{4} \]
\[ x = \frac{n\pi}{2} + \frac{\pi}{8} \] Quick Tip: First combine \(\sin x+\sin3x\) and \(\cos x+\cos3x\) using sum-to-product identities.
24.
If \[ \sin(\pi\cos\theta) = \cos(\pi\sin\theta) \]
then find \(\sin2\theta\).
View Solution
Step 1: Convert cosine into sine
\[ \cos(\pi\sin\theta) = \sin \left( \frac{\pi}{2} - \pi\sin\theta \right) \]
Thus,
\[ \sin(\pi\cos\theta) = \sin \left( \frac{\pi}{2} - \pi\sin\theta \right) \]
Step 2: Apply
\[ \sin A=\sin B \]
So,
\[ A=B \]
or
\[ A=\pi-B \]
Case 1:
\[ \cos\theta+\sin\theta = \frac12 \]
Squaring,
\[ 1+\sin2\theta = \frac14 \]
\[ \sin2\theta = -\frac34 \]
Case 2:
\[ \cos\theta-\sin\theta = \frac12 \]
Squaring,
\[ 1-\sin2\theta = \frac14 \]
\[ \sin2\theta = \frac34 \]
Hence,
\[ \sin2\theta = \pm\frac34 \] Quick Tip: For \[ \sin A=\sin B \] use: \[ A=B+2n\pi \] or \[ A=\pi-B+2n\pi \]

If \(5\sinh x-\cosh x=5\), then \(\tanh x=\)
View Solution
Step 1: Let
\[ t=\tanh x \]
Using identities,
\[ \sinh x=\frac{t}{\sqrt{1-t^2}} \]
\[ \cosh x=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-t^2}} \]
Substitute into equation:
\[ 5\left(\frac{t}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}\right) - \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-t^2}} = 5 \]
\[ \frac{5t-1}{\sqrt{1-t^2}} = 5 \]
Step 2: Square both sides
\[ (5t-1)^2 = 25(1-t^2) \]
\[ 25t^2-10t+1 = 25-25t^2 \]
\[ 25t^2-5t-12=0 \]
\[ (5t-8)(5t+3)=0 \]
\[ t=\frac45 \]
Hence,
\[ \tanh x=\frac45 \] Quick Tip: Remember: \[ \sinh x= \frac{\tanh x}{\sqrt{1-\tanh^2x}} \] \[ \cosh x= \frac1{\sqrt{1-\tanh^2x}} \]

A=(1,3), B=(3,1). C lies on \(x+y+1=0\). Locus of centroid of \(\triangle ABC\).
View Solution
Step 1: Let coordinates of point C be
Since C lies on
\[ x+y+1=0 \]
take
\[ C=(t,-t-1) \]
where \(t\) is a parameter.
Step 2: Apply centroid formula
Coordinates of centroid \(G(x,y)\) are:
\[ x=\frac{x_1+x_2+x_3}{3} \]
\[ y=\frac{y_1+y_2+y_3}{3} \]
Substituting coordinates:
\[ x=\frac{1+3+t}{3} \]
\[ x=\frac{4+t}{3} \]
and
\[ y=\frac{3+1+(-t-1)}{3} \]
\[ y=\frac{3-t}{3} \]
Step 3: Eliminate parameter \(t\)
Adding equations:
\[ x+y = \frac{4+t+3-t}{3} \]
\[ x+y = \frac{7}{3} \]
Multiplying by 3:
\[ 3x+3y=7 \]
Hence,
\[ 3x+3y-7=0 \]
Therefore the required locus is
\[ \boxed{3x+3y-7=0} \] Quick Tip: For centroid problems, first assume variable coordinates for the moving point, use centroid formula, then eliminate the parameter.

\[ 2h-2k-4=0 \]
\[ h-k=2 \]
Coefficient of \(Y\):
\[ -2h+6k+5=0 \]
Since we only need \(h-k\),
\[ \boxed{h-k=2} \] Quick Tip: To eliminate linear terms after shifting origin, equate coefficients of X and Y to zero.

Lagrange's Mean Value Theorem is applied to \(f(x)=\sin^{-1}x\) on \(\left[-\frac12,\frac12\right]\). Find \(c\).
View Solution
Step 1: Apply Lagrange Mean Value Theorem
LMVT states that
\[ f'(c)=\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a} \]
for some \(c\in(a,b)\).
Here,
\[ a=-\frac12,\qquad b=\frac12 \]
Hence,
\[ f\left(\frac12\right)=\sin^{-1}\left(\frac12\right) =\frac{\pi}{6} \]
and
\[ f\left(-\frac12\right) =-\frac{\pi}{6} \]
Thus,
\[ f'(c) = \frac{\frac{\pi}{6}-\left(-\frac{\pi}{6}\right)} {\frac12-\left(-\frac12\right)} \]
\[ = \frac{\pi}{3} \]
Step 2: Differentiate \(f(x)\)
\[ f'(x) = \frac1{\sqrt{1-x^2}} \]
Thus,
\[ \frac1{\sqrt{1-c^2}} = \frac{\pi}{3} \]
\[ \sqrt{1-c^2} = \frac3\pi \]
Squaring,
\[ 1-c^2 = \frac9{\pi^2} \]
\[ c^2 = 1-\frac9{\pi^2} \]
Therefore,
\[ c= \pm\sqrt{1-\frac9{\pi^2}} \] Quick Tip: For LMVT problems first calculate \(\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}\), then equate with \(f'(c)\).

Tangent and normal at \(P(\alpha,\beta)\) on \(y=f(x)\) cut X-axis at \(T\) and \(N\). Find relation among lengths.
View Solution
Step 1: Find tangent intercept
Let slope at \(P\) be
\[ m=f'(\alpha) \]
Equation of tangent:
\[ y-\beta = m(x-\alpha) \]
For X-axis intercept \(T\),
\[ y=0 \]
Hence,
\[ x_T = \alpha-\frac{\beta}{m} \]
So,
\[ AT = \frac{\beta}{m} \]
Step 2: Find normal intercept
Normal slope:
\[ -\frac1m \]
Hence,
\[ x_N = \alpha+m\beta \]
Thus,
\[ AN = m\beta \]
Therefore,
\[ PT = \frac{\beta}{m}\sqrt{1+m^2} \]
and
\[ PN = \beta\sqrt{1+m^2} \]
Hence,
\[ (PT)^2+(PN)^2 = \frac{\beta^2(1+m^2)^2}{m^2} \] Quick Tip: Remember: Tangent length \(=\dfrac{y\sqrt{1+m^2}}{m}\), Normal length \(=y\sqrt{1+m^2}\).

If maximum value of \(x^\alpha(24-x)^\beta\) occurs at \(x=9\), then find \(\alpha:\beta\).
View Solution
Take logarithm,
\[ \ln y = \alpha\ln x+\beta\ln(24-x) \]
Differentiate:
\[ \frac{y'}y = \frac{\alpha}{x} - \frac{\beta}{24-x} \]
For maximum,
\[ y'=0 \]
Thus,
\[ \frac{\alpha}{9} = \frac{\beta}{15} \]
\[ 15\alpha = 9\beta \]
\[ \frac{\alpha}{\beta} = \frac35 \]
Hence,
\[ \alpha:\beta = 3:5 \] Quick Tip: For expressions of type \(x^a(c-x)^b\), take logarithm before differentiating.

If the solution of \(\frac{dy}{dx}=\log(x+1)\) when \(y(0)=3\) is \(y=(x+1)\log(x+1)+f(x)\), then \(f(x)=\)
View Solution
Step 1: Integrate the differential equation
Given,
\[ \frac{dy}{dx}=\log(x+1) \]
Integrating both sides,
\[ y=\int \log(x+1)\,dx \]
Using substitution:
\[ u=x+1 \]
\[ du=dx \]
Hence,
\[ y=\int\log u\,du \]
Using formula:
\[ \int \log u\,du=u\log u-u+C \]
Therefore,
\[ y=(x+1)\log(x+1)-(x+1)+C \]
\[ y=(x+1)\log(x+1)-x-1+C \]
Step 2: Apply initial condition
Given,
\[ y(0)=3 \]
Substituting:
\[ 3=(1)\log1-0-1+C \]
Since
\[ \log1=0 \]
\[ 3=-1+C \]
\[ C=4 \]
Thus,
\[ y=(x+1)\log(x+1)-x+3 \]
Comparing with
\[ y=(x+1)\log(x+1)+f(x) \]
Hence,
\[ f(x)=-x+3 \] Quick Tip: Remember: \[ \int \log x\,dx=x\log x-x+C \] Apply substitution whenever argument is \((x+a)\).

The differential equation of the family of curves \(y=e^{3x}(Ax+B)\) is
View Solution
Step 1: Differentiate once
\[ y=e^{3x}(Ax+B) \]
Differentiating,
\[ \frac{dy}{dx} = 3e^{3x}(Ax+B)+Ae^{3x} \]
\[ \frac{dy}{dx} = 3y+Ae^{3x} \]
Hence,
\[ Ae^{3x} = \frac{dy}{dx}-3y \]
Step 2: Differentiate again
\[ \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = 3\frac{dy}{dx} + 3Ae^{3x} \]
Substitute value of \(Ae^{3x}\):
\[ \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = 3\frac{dy}{dx} + 3\left( \frac{dy}{dx}-3y \right) \]
\[ \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = 6\frac{dy}{dx} - 9y \]
Hence,
\[ \boxed{ \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} - 6\frac{dy}{dx} + 9y = 0 } \] Quick Tip: For repeated roots: \[ y=e^{mx}(Ax+B) \] Differential equation becomes: \[ (D-m)^2y=0 \]

Divide by \(\cos^2y\):
\[ \sec^2y \frac{dy}{dx} = x^3 - 2x\tan y \]
Let
\[ t=\tan y \]
Then,
\[ \frac{dt}{dx} = \sec^2y \frac{dy}{dx} \]
Thus,
\[ \frac{dt}{dx} + 2xt = x^3 \]
Step 2: Solve linear differential equation
Integrating factor:
\[ IF=e^{\int2xdx} \]
\[ =e^{x^2} \]
Hence,
\[ \frac{d}{dx} (te^{x^2}) = x^3e^{x^2} \]
Integrating,
\[ te^{x^2} = \frac12 e^{x^2}(x^2-1) + C \]
Therefore,
\[ t = \frac{x^2-1}{2} + Ce^{-x^2} \]
Hence,
\[ \boxed{ \tan y = \frac{x^2-1}{2} + Ce^{-x^2} } \] Quick Tip: Convert trigonometric differential equations into linear form using substitutions such as: \[ t=\tan y \]

Rate constant \(k=0.02\ min^{-1}\), initial concentration of A = 1.0 mol/L. Find concentration after 20 minutes.
View Solution
Since unit of k is:
\[ min^{-1} \]
Reaction is first order.
Using first-order equation:
\[ \log\frac{[A]_0}{[A]} = \frac{kt}{2.303} \]
Substituting values:
\[ \log\frac{1}{[A]} = \frac{0.02\times20}{2.303} \]
\[ = 0.1736 \]
\[ [A] = 0.6705 \] Quick Tip: Unit of first-order rate constant is time\(^{-1}\).

For first-order reaction \(A(g)\rightarrow B(g)+C(g)\), initial pressure \(P_A^0\), total pressure after time t is \(P_t\). Find expression for \(k\).
View Solution
For reaction:
\[ A\rightarrow B+C \]
Total pressure:
\[ P_t = P_A+P_B+P_C \]
\[ P_t = P_A+2(P_A^0-P_A) \]
\[ P_t = 2P_A^0-P_A \]
Thus,
\[ P_A = 2P_A^0-P_t \]
Substitute in first-order equation:
\[ k = \frac1t \ln \frac{P_A^0}{P_A} \]
\[ k = \frac1t \ln \frac{P_A^0}{2P_A^0-P_t} \] Quick Tip: For gaseous reactions use partial pressure in place of concentration.

Which compounds do NOT form AgCl precipitate with excess AgNO\(_3\)?
I. PtCl\(_4\cdot\)2HCl
II. PtCl\(_2\cdot\)2NH\(_3\)
III. CoCl\(_3\cdot\)4NH\(_3\)
IV. PdCl\(_2\cdot\)4NH\(_3\)
View Solution
Step 1: Understand the condition
AgNO\(_3\) forms AgCl precipitate only with chloride ions present outside the coordination sphere. Chloride ions directly bonded inside the coordination sphere do not ionize in solution.
Step 2: Examine each compound
For PtCl\(_4\cdot\)2HCl :
This can be represented as \[ H_2[PtCl_6] \]
All chloride ions are inside the coordination sphere.
Hence: \[ No free Cl^{-} \]
No AgCl precipitate forms.
For PtCl\(_2\cdot\)2NH\(_3\) :
Complex structure: \[ [Pt(NH_3)_2Cl_2] \]
Both chloride ions are coordinated directly with Pt.
Hence: \[ No free Cl^{-} \]
No AgCl precipitate forms.
For CoCl\(_3\cdot\)4NH\(_3\) :
Structure: \[ [Co(NH_3)_4Cl_2]Cl \]
One chloride ion remains outside the coordination sphere.
Therefore: \[ Ag^+ + Cl^- \rightarrow AgCl\downarrow \]
Precipitate forms.
For PdCl\(_2\cdot\)4NH\(_3\) :
Structure: \[ [Pd(NH_3)_4]Cl_2 \]
Two chloride ions are outside the coordination sphere.
Hence AgCl precipitate forms.
Step 3: Final conclusion
Only compounds I and II do not produce AgCl precipitate. Quick Tip: Only chloride ions outside the coordination sphere react with AgNO\(_3\) and produce AgCl precipitate.
