n(MUPUB) = n(M) + n(P) + n(B) -n(M ∩ P) - n(PMB) - n(B ∩ P) + n(M ∩ P ∩ B)
given n(M) = 50 , n (P) = 45, n(B) = 40;
n(M∩ P) + n(P∩ B) + n(B∩ M) - 3(M∩ P ∩ B) = 32
99 = 50 + 45 + 40 – (32 + 3 n (M ∩ P∩ B) )+ n(M ∩ P∩ B) ;
2 n(M ∩ P ∩ B) = 36 – 32;
n(M∩ P ∩ B) = 2

The equations x2 +x +a=0 and x2 +ax +1=0 have a common real root
  • a)
    for no value of a
  • b)
    for exactly one value of a
  • c)
    for exactly two values of a
  • d)
    for exactly three values of a
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

The Common Real Root of Two Quadratic Equations

To find the common real root of two quadratic equations, we need to equate the two equations and solve for the common value of x. Let's analyze the given equations and find the common real root.

Given Equations:
1) x^2 + x + a = 0
2) x^2 + ax + 1 = 0

Equating the Equations:
Let's equate the two equations to find the common root x:

x^2 + x + a = x^2 + ax + 1

Simplifying the Equation:
By rearranging the terms, we get:

x + a = ax + 1

Isolating the Variables:
To isolate x, we subtract ax from both sides of the equation:

x - ax + a = 1

Factoring Out x:
Next, we factor out x from the left side of the equation:

x(1 - a) + a = 1

Simplifying the Equation:
Now, we simplify the equation:

x(1 - a) = 1 - a

Dividing Both Sides by (1 - a):
To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by (1 - a):

x = (1 - a) / (1 - a)

Final Conclusion:
We can see that x is equal to 1 for all values of a except when a = 1. In this case, the denominator becomes 0, which is undefined. Therefore, for all other values of a, the common real root of the given equations is x = 1.

Answer:
The given equations have a common real root for exactly one value of a, which is option 'B'.

The number of real values of for which the system of equations

  • a)
    1
  • b)
    2
  • c)
    4
  • d)
    6
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Understanding the System of Equations

- Given system of equations:
1. x + 3y + 5z = α
2. 5x + y + 3z = α
3. 3x + 5y + z = α

Analysis of the System

- To find the number of real values of α for which the system has a solution, we need to analyze the system of equations.
- We can represent the system in matrix form as AX = B, where A is the coefficient matrix, X is the variable matrix, and B is the constant matrix.

Determinant of Coefficient Matrix

- The determinant of the coefficient matrix A is given by |A| = -144.
- If |A| ≠ 0, then the system has a unique solution for any value of α.

Calculating the Determinant

- Since |A| ≠ 0, the system of equations has a unique solution for any value of α.
- Therefore, the number of real values of α for which the system has a solution is 1.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A'.

Four speakers will address a meeting where speaker Q will always speak after speaker P. Then the number of ways in which the order of speakers can be prepared is
  • a)
    256
  • b)
    128
  • c)
    24
  • d)
    12
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Anand Kumar answered
Let P,Q,R and S are four speakers.As mentioned Q will speak after P.So, exclude P and Q then we left with only two i.e, R and S. Now, here we have 3 position (1) before R (2) Between R and S (3) after S selection of 2 positions out of 3 can be done in 3C2 and arrangement of P and Q is fixed(Q speaks after P) so, it can be done in only one ways Therefore ,answer of this part is 3C2×1 Now, remaining two R and S can be arranged in 2! Therefore ,total required order= 3C2×1×2! =12

The equivalent  weight of K2Cr2O7 in acidic medium is expressed in terms of its molecular weight (M) as
  • a)
    M/3
  • b)
    M/4
  • c)
    M/6
  • d)
    M/7
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Navya Hegde answered
Because k2Cr2O7 loses 6 elections. equivalent weight is the mass divided by the no of electrons lost or gained. that is why M/6 is the correct answer.
