f(θ) = 4 (sin2θ + cos4 θ)
= 4 (sinθ + cos2 θ(1- sin2 θ))
= 4 (sin2 θ + cos2 θ - sin2 θ cos2 θ)

 For minimum value ot f(θ), sin22θ should be maximum i.e. sin22θ= 1.

NDA I - Mathematics Question Paper 2016 - Question 11

Detailed Solution for NDA I - Mathematics Question Paper 2016 - Question 11

f(θ) = 4 (sin2θ + cos4 θ)
= 4 (sinθ + cos2 θ(1- sin2 θ))
= 4 (sin2 θ + cos2 θ - sin2 θ cos2 θ)



Since sin θ cannot have vlaue greater than 1 & less than -1.
Hence f(θ) = 2 has no solution.

Q. What is |z| equal to?

Detailed Solution for NDA I - Mathematics Question Paper 2016 - Question 52


⇒|z-4| = |z-8|
Let z = x + iy
| x + iy - 4 | = | x + iy -8 |
Squaring both sides, we get
[ ( x - 4 )2 + y2] = [(x-8)2 + y2]
(x-4)2 =(x-8)2
 x2 + 16 - 8x = x2 + 64 - 1 6x
8x = 48 ⇒ x= 6


Squaring both sides, we get
4(x2 + y2) = 9 [ (x - 2)2 + y2]
⇒ 4 X2 + 4 y2 = 9x2 + 36 - 36 x + 9 y2
⇒ 5x2 +5y2 -36x+36 = 0
as we know x = 6
5(6)2 + 5y2 - 36 x 6 + 36 = 0
⇒ 5y2 = 0 ⇒ y = 0.
Hence x = 6 and y = 0.
⇒ z = 6
|z| = 6

Q. Which of the above statements is/are correct?

Detailed Solution for NDA I - Mathematics Question Paper 2016 - Question 89

∵ ABC is an equilateral triangle.
∴A = B = C=60°
L.H.S. = 3 tan (A + B) tan C
= 3 tan 120° tan 60°
= 3(-√3)(√3)
=-9 ≠ 1
Hence statement (1) is incorrect.
Statement-2
ABC is a triangle such that A=78° and B = 66°
C = 180 - (78 + 66) = 180 -144 = 36°

Hence statement (2) is correct. 
Statement (3)


We can see that statement (3) is not correct. Hence only 2nd statement is correct.
