Mathematics: CUET Mock Test - 2 - Question 1

 A particle moves in a straight-line OA; the distance of the particle from O at time t seconds is x ft, where x = a + bt + ct2 (a, b > 0). What will be the nature of motion of the particle when c = 0?

Detailed Solution for Mathematics: CUET Mock Test - 2 - Question 1

We have, x = a + bt + ct2  ……….(1)
Let, v and f be the velocity and acceleration of a particle at time t seconds.
Then, v = dx/dt = d(a + bt + ct2)/dt = b + ct   ……….(2)
And f = dv/dt = d(b + ct)/dt = c  ……….(3)
Clearly, when c = 0, then f = 0 that is, acceleration of the particle is zero.
Hence in this case the particle moves with an uniform velocity.

A. (0, 1]
B. [1, 4]
C. (4, ∞)
D. (−1, 0)
E. (−∞, 0)

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Detailed Solution for Mathematics: CUET Mock Test - 2 - Question 4

To find the values of x that satisfy the inequality |3x| ≥ |6 - 3x|, we need to consider different cases based on the possible signs of the expressions inside the absolute value functions.

Case 1: Both expressions are non-negative (3x ≥ 0 and 6 - 3x ≥ 0) This implies x ≥ 0 and x ≤ 2.
Subcase 1.1: x ∈ [0, 2] In this case, we have the inequality 3x ≥ 6 - 3x, which simplifies to: 6x ≥ 6 x ≥ 1
So for this subcase, x ∈ [1, 2]

Case 2: Both expressions are non-positive (3x ≤ 0 and 6 - 3x ≤ 0) This implies x ≤ 0 and x ≥ 2.
This case is not possible, as x cannot be both less than or equal to 0 and greater than or equal to 2 simultaneously.

Case 3: One expression is non-negative, and the other is non-positive (3x ≥ 0 and 6 - 3x ≤ 0) This implies x ≥ 0 and x ≥ 2.
So for this case, x ∈ [2, +∞)

Case 4: One expression is non-positive, and the other is non-negative (3x ≤ 0 and 6 - 3x ≥ 0) This implies x ≤ 0 and x ≤ 2.
So for this case, x ∈ (-∞, 0]
Combining the results from the cases above, the values of x that satisfy the inequality |3x| ≥ |6 - 3x| are:
x ∈ (-∞, 0] ∪ [1, 2] ∪ [2, +∞)
Hence, the Correct answer  is C and E which satisfy the inequality

Mathematics: CUET Mock Test - 2 - Question 12

A particle moving in a straight line traverses a distance x in time t. If t = x2/2 + x, then which one is correct?

Detailed Solution for Mathematics: CUET Mock Test - 2 - Question 12

We have, t = x2/2 + x
Therefore, dt/dx = 2x/2 + 1 = x + 1
Thus, if v be the velocity of the particle at time t, then
v = dx/dt = 1/(dt/dx)
= 1/(x + 1) = (x + 1)-1
Thus dv/dt = d((x + 1)-1)/dt
= (-1)(x + 1)-2 d(x + 1)/dt
= -1/(x + 1)2 * dx/dt
As, 1/(x + 1) = dx/dt,
So, -(dx/dt)2(dx/dt)
Or dv/dt = -v2*v  [as, dx/dt = v]
= -v3
We know, dv/dt = acceleration of a particle.
As, dv/dt is negative, so there is a retardation of the particle.
Thus, the retardation of the particle = -dv/dt = v3 = cube of the particle.

Mathematics: CUET Mock Test - 2 - Question 13

A particle moves with uniform acceleration along a straight line and describes distances 21m, 43m and 91m at times 2, 4 and 7 seconds, respectively.What is the velocity of the particle in 3 seconds?

Detailed Solution for Mathematics: CUET Mock Test - 2 - Question 13

We assume that the particle moves with uniform acceleration 2f m/sec.
Let, x m be the distance of the particle from a fixed point on the straight line at time t seconds.
Let, v be the velocity of the particle at time t seconds, then,
So, dv/dt = 2f
Or ∫dv = ∫2f dt
Or v = 2ft + b   ……….(1)
Or dx/dt = 2ft + b
Or ∫dx = 2f∫tdt + ∫b dt
Or x = ft2 + bt + a   ……….(2)
Where, a and b are constants of integration.
Given, x = 21, when t = 2; x = 43, when t = 4 and x = 91, when t = 7.
Putting these values in (2) we get,
4f + 2b + a = 21   ……….(3)
16f + 4b + a = 43   ……….(4)
49f + 7b + a = 91  ……….(5)
Solving (3), (4) and (5) we get,
a = 7, b = 5 and f = 1
Therefore, from (2) we get,
x = t2 + 5t + 7
Putting t = 3, f = 1 and b = 5 in (1),
We get, the velocity of the particle in 3 seconds,
= [v]t = 3 = (2*1*3 + 5)m/sec = 11m/sec.

Mathematics: CUET Mock Test - 2 - Question 14

The distance x of a particle moving along a straight line from a fixed point on the line at time t after start is given by t = ax2 + bx + c (a, b, c are positive constants). If v be the velocity of the particle and u(≠0) be the initial velocity of the particle then which one is correct?

Detailed Solution for Mathematics: CUET Mock Test - 2 - Question 14

We have, t = ax2 + bx + c  ……….(1)
Differentiating both sides of (1) with respect to x we get,
dt/dx = d(ax2 + bx + c)/dx = 2ax + b
Thus, v = velocity of the particle at time t
= dx/dt = 1/(dt/dx) = 1/(2ax + b) = (2ax + b)-1  ……….(2)
Initially, when t = 0 and v = u, let x = x0; hence, from (1) we get,
ax02 + bx0 + c = 0
Or ax02 + bx0 = -c   ……….(3)
And from (2) we get, u = 1/(2ax0 + b)
Thus, 1/v2 – 1/u2 = (2ax + b)2 – (2ax0 + b)2
= 4a2x2 + 4abx – 4a2x02 – 4abx0
= 4a2x2 + 4abx – 4a(ax02 – bx0)
= 4a2x2 + 4abx – 4a(-c)   [using (3)]
= 4a(ax2 + bx + c)
Or 1/v2 – 1/u2 = 4at

Mathematics: CUET Mock Test - 2 - Question 15

 A particle moves in a straight line and its velocity v at time t seconds is given byv = 3t2 – 4t + 5 cm/second. What will be the distance travelled by the particle during first 3 seconds after the start?

Detailed Solution for Mathematics: CUET Mock Test - 2 - Question 15

Let, x be the distance travelled by the particle in time t seconds.
Then, v = dx/dt = 3t2 – 4t + 5
Or ∫dx = ∫ (3t2 – 4t + 5)dt
So, on integrating the above equation, we get,
x = t3 – 2t2 + 5t + c where, c is a constant.  ……….(1)
Therefore, the distance travelled by the particle at the end of 3 seconds,
= [x]t = 3 – [x]t = 0
= (33 – 2*32 + 5*3 + c) – c [using (1)]
= 24 cm.

Mathematics: CUET Mock Test - 2 - Question 16

A particle moves with uniform acceleration along a straight line and describes distances 21m, 43m and 91m at times 2, 4 and 7 seconds,respectively.What is the distance described by the particle in 3 seconds?

Detailed Solution for Mathematics: CUET Mock Test - 2 - Question 16

We assume that the particle moves with uniform acceleration 2f m/sec.
Let, x m be the distance of the particle from a fixed point on the straight line at time t seconds.
Let, v be the velocity of the particle at time t seconds, then,
So, dv/dt = 2f
Or ∫dv = ∫2f dt
Or v = 2ft + b  ……….(1)
Or dx/dt = 2ft + b
Or ∫dx = 2f∫tdt + ∫b dt
Or x = ft2 + bt + a   ……….(2)
Where, a and b are constants of integration.
Given, x = 21, when t = 2; x = 43, when t = 4 and x = 91, when t = 7.
Putting these values in (2) we get,
4f + 2b + a = 21  ……….(3)
16f + 4b + a = 43  ……….(4)
49f + 7b + a = 91   ……….(5)
Solving (3), (4) and (5) we get,
a = 7, b = 5 and f = 1
Therefore, from (2) we get,
x = t2 + 5t + 7
Therefore, the distance described by the particle in 3 seconds,
= [x]t = 3 = (32 + 5*3 + 7)m = 31m

Mathematics: CUET Mock Test - 2 - Question 17

A particle moves in a horizontal straight line under retardation kv3, where v is the velocity at time t and k is a positive constant. If initial velocity be u and x be the displacement at time,then which one is correct?

Detailed Solution for Mathematics: CUET Mock Test - 2 - Question 17

Since the particle is moving in a straight line under a retardation kv3, hence, we have,
dv/dt = -kv3   ……….(1)
Or dv/v3 = -k dt
Or ∫v-3 dv = -k∫dt
Or v-3+1/(-3 + 1) = -kt – c [c = constant of integration]
Or 1/2v2 = kt + c   ……….(2)
Given, u = v when, t = 0; hence, from (2) we get,
1/2u2 = c
Thus, putting c = 1/2u2 in (2) we get,
1/2v2 = kt + 1/2u2
Or 1/v2 = 1/u2 + 2kt

Mathematics: CUET Mock Test - 2 - Question 18

The distance s of a particle moving along a straight line from a fixed-pointO on the line at time t seconds after start is given by x = (t – 1)2(t – 2)2. What will be the distance of the particle from O when its velocity is zero?

Detailed Solution for Mathematics: CUET Mock Test - 2 - Question 18

Let v be the velocity of the particle at time t seconds after start (that is at a distance s from O). Then,
v = ds/dt = d[(t – 1)2(t – 2)2]/dt
Or v = (t – 2)(3t – 4)
Clearly, v = 0, when (t – 2)(3t – 4) = 0
That is, when t = 2
Or 3t – 4 = 0 i.e., t = 4/3
Now, s = (t – 1)(t – 2)2
Therefore, when t = 4/3, then s = (4/3 – 1)(4/3 – 2)2 = 4/27
And when t = 2, then s =(2 – 1)(2 – 2)2 = 0
Therefore, the velocity of the particle is zero, when its distance from O is 4/27 units and when it is at O.

Mathematics: CUET Mock Test - 2 - Question 19

What will be the nature of the equation sin(x + α)/sin(x + β)?

Detailed Solution for Mathematics: CUET Mock Test - 2 - Question 19

Let, y = sin(x + α)/sin(x + β)
Then,
dy/dx = [cos(x + α)sin(x + β) – sin(x + α)cos(x + β)]/sin2(x + β)
= sin(x+β – x-α)/sin2(x + β)
Or sin(β – α)/sin2(x + β)
So, for minimum or maximum value of x we have,
dy/dx = 0
Or sin(β – α)/sin2(x + β) = 0
Or sin(β – α) = 0 ……….(1)
Clearly, equation (1) is independent of x; hence, we cannot have a real value of x as root of equation (1).
Therefore, y has neither a maximum or minimum value.

Mathematics: CUET Mock Test - 2 - Question 20

Given, f(x) = x3 – 12x2 + 45x + 8. What is the maximum value of f(x)?

Detailed Solution for Mathematics: CUET Mock Test - 2 - Question 20

We have, f(x) = x3 – 12x2 + 45x + 8 ……….(1)
Differentiating both sides of (1) with respect to x we
f’(x) = 3x2 – 24x + 45
3x2 – 24x + 45 = 0
Or x2 – 8x + 15 = 0
Or (x – 3)(x – 5) = 0
Thus, either x – 3 = 0 i.e., x = 3 or x – 5 = 0 i.e., x = 5
Therefore, f’(x) = 0 for x = 3 and x = 5.
If h be a positive quantity, however small, then,
f’(3 – h) = 3*(3 – h – 3)(3 – h – 5) = 3h(h + 2) = positive.
f’(3 + h) = 3*(3 + h – 3)(3 + h – 5) = 3h(h – 2) = negative.
Clearly, f’(x) changes sign from positive on the left to negative on the right of the point x = 3.
So, f(x) has maximum at 3.
Putting, x = 3 in (1)
Thus, its maximum value is,
f(3) = 33 – 12*32 + 45*3 + 8 = 62.

Mathematics: CUET Mock Test - 2 - Question 21

Given, f(x) = x3 – 12x2 + 45x + 8. What is the minimum value of f(x)?

Detailed Solution for Mathematics: CUET Mock Test - 2 - Question 21

We have, f(x) = x3 – 12x2 + 45x + 8 ……….(1)
Differentiating both sides of (1) with respect to x we
f’(x) = 3x2 – 24x + 45
3x2 – 24x + 45 = 0
Or x2 – 8x + 15 = 0
Or(x – 3)(x – 5) = 0
Thus, either x – 3 = 0 i.e., x = 3 or x – 5 = 0 i.e., x = 5
Therefore, f’(x) = 0 for x = 3 and x = 5.
If h be a positive quantity, however small, then,
f’(5 – h) = 3*(5 – h – 3)(5 – h – 5) = -3h(2 – h) = negative.
f’(5 + h) = 3*(5 + h – 3)(5 + h – 5) = 3h(2 + h) = positive.
Clearly, f’(x) changes sign from negative on the left to positive on the right of the point x = 5.
So, f(x) has minimum at 5.
Putting, x = 5 in (1)
Thus, its maximum value is,
f(3) = 53 – 12*52 + 45*5 + 8 = 58.

Mathematics: CUET Mock Test - 2 - Question 22

A particle is moving in a straight line and its distance x from a fixed point on the line at any time t seconds is given by, x = t4/12 – 2t3/3 + 3t2/2 + t + 15. At what time is the velocity minimum?

Detailed Solution for Mathematics: CUET Mock Test - 2 - Question 22

Assume that the velocity of the particle at time t second is vcm/sec.
Then, v = dx/dt = 4t3/12 – 6t2/3 + 6t/2 + 1
So, v = dx/dt = t3/3 – 2t2/ + 3t + 1
Thus, dv/dt = t2 – 4t + 3
And d2v/dt2 = 2t – 4
For maximum and minimum value of v we have,
dv/dt = 0
Or t2 – 4t + 3 = 0
Or (t – 1)(t – 3) = 0
Thus, t – 1 = 0 i.e., t = 1 Or t – 3 = 0 i.e., t = 3
Now, [d2v/dt2]t = 3 = 2*3 – 4 = 2 > 0
Thus, v is minimum at t = 3.

Mathematics: CUET Mock Test - 2 - Question 23

Given, f(x) = x3 – 12x2 + 45x + 8. At which point does f(x) has its maximum?

Detailed Solution for Mathematics: CUET Mock Test - 2 - Question 23

We have, f(x) = x3 – 12x2 + 45x + 8 ……….(1)
Differentiating both sides of (1) with respect to x we
f’(x) = 3x2 – 24x + 45
3x2 – 24x + 45 = 0
Or x2 – 8x + 15 = 0
Or (x – 3)(x – 5) = 0
Thus, either x – 3 = 0 i.e., x = 3 or x – 5 = 0 i.e., x = 5
Therefore, f’(x) = 0 for x = 3 and x = 5.
If h be a positive quantity, however small, then,
f’(3 – h) = 3*(3 – h – 3)(3 – h – 5) = 3h(h + 2) = positive.
f’(3 + h) = 3*(3 + h – 3)(3 + h – 5) = 3h(h – 2) = negative.
Clearly, f’(x) changes sign from positive on the left to negative on the right of the point x = 3.
So, f(x) has maximum at 3.

Mathematics: CUET Mock Test - 2 - Question 24

Given, f(x) = x3 – 12x2 + 45x + 8. At which point does f(x) has its minimum?

Detailed Solution for Mathematics: CUET Mock Test - 2 - Question 24

We have, f(x) = x3 – 12x2 + 45x + 8 ……….(1)
Differentiating both sides of (1) with respect to x we
f’(x) = 3x2 – 24x + 45
3x2 – 24x + 45 = 0
Or x2 – 8x + 15 = 0
Or (x – 3)(x – 5) = 0
Thus, either x – 3 = 0 i.e., x = 3 or x – 5 = 0 i.e., x = 5
Therefore, f’(x) = 0 for x = 3 and x = 5.
If h be a positive quantity, however small, then,
f’(5 – h) = 3*(5 – h – 3)(5 – h – 5) = -3h(2 – h) = negative.
f’(5 + h) = 3*(5 + h – 3)(5 + h – 5) = 3h(2 + h) = positive.
Clearly, f’(x) changes sign from negative on the left to positive on the right of the point x = 5.
So, f(x) has minimum at 5.

Mathematics: CUET Mock Test - 2 - Question 25

At which point does f(x) = |x – 1| has itslocal minimum?

Detailed Solution for Mathematics: CUET Mock Test - 2 - Question 25

The given function is f(x) = ∣x − 1∣, x ∈ R.
It is known that a function f is differentiable at point x = c in its domain if both
 − hf(c + h) – f(c)
And
l + hf(c + h) – f(c) are finite and equal.
To check the differentiability of the function at x = 1,
LHS,
Consider the left hand limit of f at x=1



= −1
RHS,
Consider the right hand limit of f at x − 1


= 1
Since the left and right hand limits of f at x = 1 are not equal, f is not differentiable at x = 1.
As, LHS = -1 and RHS = 1, it is clear that, f’(1) < 0 on the left of x = 1 and f’(x) > 0 on the right of the point x = 1.
Hence, f’(x) changes sign, from negative on the left to positive on the right of the point x = 1.
Therefore, f(x) has a local minima at x = 1.

Mathematics: CUET Mock Test - 2 - Question 26

A particle is moving in a straight line and its distance x from a fixed point on the line at any time t seconds is given by, x = t4/12 – 2t3/3 + 3t2/2 + t + 15. What is the minimum velocity?

Detailed Solution for Mathematics: CUET Mock Test - 2 - Question 26

Assume that the velocity of the particle at time t second is vcm/sec.
Then, v = dx/dt = 4t3/12 – 6t2/3 + 6t/2 + 1
So, v = dx/dt = t3/3 – 2t2/ + 3t + 1
Thus, dv/dt = t2 – 4t + 3
And d2v/dt2 = 2t – 4
For maximum and minimum value of v we have,
dv/dt = 0
Or t2 – 4t + 3 = 0
Or (t – 1)(t – 3) = 0
Thus, t – 1 = 0 i.e., t = 1 Or t – 3 = 0 i.e., t = 3
Now, [d2v/dt2]t = 3 = 2*3 – 4 = 2 > 0
Thus, v is minimum at t = 3.
Putting t = 3 in (1) we get,
33/3 – 2(3)2/ + 3(3) + 1
= 1 cm/sec.

Mathematics: CUET Mock Test - 2 - Question 27

 What will be the equation of the normal to the parabola y2 = 5x that makes an angle 45° with the x axis?

Detailed Solution for Mathematics: CUET Mock Test - 2 - Question 27

The equation of the given parabola is, y2 = 5x ……….(1)
Differentiating both sides of (1) with respect to y, we get,
2y = 5(dx/dy)
Or dx/dy = 2y/5
Take any point P((5/4)t2, (5/2)t). Then, the normal to the curve (1) at P is,
-[dx/dy]P = -(2*5t/2)/5 = -t
By the question, slope of the normal to the curve (1) at P is tan45°.
Thus, -t = 1
Or t = -1
So, the required equation of normal is,
y – 5t/2 = -t(x – 5t2/4)
Simplifying further we get,
4(x – y) = 15

Mathematics: CUET Mock Test - 2 - Question 28

What will be the equation of the normal to the parabola y2 = 3x which is perpendicular to the line y = 2x + 4?

Detailed Solution for Mathematics: CUET Mock Test - 2 - Question 28

Given, y2 = 3x ……….(1) and y = 2x + 4 ……….(2)
Differentiating both sides of (1) with respect to y we get,
2y = 3(dx/dy)
Or dx/dy = 2y/3
Let P (x1, y1) be any point on the parabola (1). Then the slope of the normal to the parabola (1) at point P is
-[dx/dy]P = -2y1/3
If the normal at the point P to the parabola (1) be perpendicular to the line (2) then we must have,
-2y1/3*2 = -1
Since the slope of the line (2) is 2
Or y1 = 3/4
Since the point P(x1, y1) lies on (1) hence,
y12 = 3x1
As, y1 = 3/4, so, x1 = 3/16
Therefore, the required equation of the normal is
y – y1 = -(2y1)/3*(x – x1)
Putting the value of x1 and y1 in the above equation we get,
16x + 32y = 27.

Mathematics: CUET Mock Test - 2 - Question 29

What will be the length of a tangent from the point (7, 2) to the circle 2x2 + 2y2 + 5 x + y = 15?

Detailed Solution for Mathematics: CUET Mock Test - 2 - Question 29

The given equation of the circle is,
2x2 + 2y2 + 5 x + y – 15 = 0
Or x2 + y2 + 5/2 x + y/2 – 15/2 = 0 ………..(1)
The required length of the tangent drawn from the point (7, 2) to the circle (1) is,
√(72 + 22 + 5/2 (7) + 1/2 – 15/2)
= √(49 + 4 + 35/2 + 1 – 15/2)
= √64
= 8 units.

Mathematics: CUET Mock Test - 2 - Question 30

What will be the equation of the circle which touches the line x + 2y + 5 = 0 and passes through the point of intersection of the circle x2 + y2 = 1 and x2 + y2 + 2x + 4y + 1 = 0?

Detailed Solution for Mathematics: CUET Mock Test - 2 - Question 30

The equation of any circle through the points of intersection of the given circle is,
x2 + y2 + 2x + 4y + 1 + k(x2 + y2 – 1) = 0
x2 + y2 + 2x(1/(k + 1)) + 2*2y/(k + 1) + (1 – k)/(1 + k) = 0
Clearly, the co-ordinates of the center of the circle (1) are, (-1/(1 + k), -2/(1 + k)) and its radius,
= √[(1/(1 + k))2 + (2/(1 + k))2 – ((1 – k)]/(1 + k))
= √(4 + k2)/(1 + k)
Clearly, the line x + 2y + 5 = 0 is tangent to the circle (1), hence, the perpendicular distance of the line from the center of the circle = radius of the circle
± (-1/(1 + k))– 2(2/(1 + k)) + 5/ √(12 + 22) = √(4 + k2)/(1 + k)
Or ±(5k/√5) = √(4 + k2)
Or 5k2 = 4 + k2
Or 4k2 = 4
Or k = 1 [as, k ≠ -1]
Putting k = 1 in (1), equation of the given circle is,
x2 + y2 + x + 2y = 0
