QUESTION: 1

The area of the triangle formed by the positive x–axis and the normal and the tangent to the circle x2 + y2 = 4 at (1, ) is

Solution:

x2 + y2 = 4
Eqn of tangent at (1,√3)
xx1 + yy1 = 4
x + √3y = 4
√3y = −x + 4
y=−x / √3 + 4/√3
point A will be (4,0)
Eqn of Normal:slope of normal = √3
(y − √3) = √3 (x − 1)
=y − √3 = √3x − √3
y = √3x
Area of triangle = ∫(0 to 1)√3xdx + ∫(1 to 4)(−x/√3) + (4/√3)dx
=√3 [x2 / 2] (0 to 1) + [(−x2) /(2√3) + 4x / √3] (1 to 4)
=√3.[1/2 − 0] + [−16 / 2√3 + 16 / √3 + 1/2 √3-4√3] = 8√3 − 7/2√3 + √3/2
=9 / 2√3 + 3 √2 = 12 / 2√3 
= 2√3

QUESTION: 2

Equation of the normal to the curve y = –  + 2 at the point of its intersection with the curve y = tan (tan–1 x) is

Solution:

y= −(x)1/2+2....(i)
And bisector of first quadrant is y=x ..... (ii)
On solving Eqs(i) and (ii) we get
x=1,4
∴ From Eq (i)
Points are (1,1) and (4,0)
But (4,0) not satisfy Eq (ii)
∴ Point (1,1) is only point of intersection of curve (i) and line (ii)
Now, slope of tangent of curve (i) is dy/dx = -1/(2(x)1/2)
∴ Slope of tangent at point (1,1) is −1/|dy/dx|(1,1) = -1/2
−1/|dy/dx|(1,1) = -1/(−1/2)
​= 2
∴ Equation of the normal to the curve at point (1,1) will be
y−1=2(x−1)
⇒2x−y−1=0

QUESTION: 3

The abscissa of the point on the curve ay2 = x3, the normal at which cuts off equal intercepts from the coordinate axes is

Solution:

Slope of such normal is 1.⇒ dy/dx=1
ay2 = x3
 ⇒2ay dy/dx = 3x2
⇒ y=(3x2)/2a
 ⇒ a(3x2/2a)2
 =x3
 ⇒x = 4a/9

QUESTION: 4

How many external tangents are there for two circles?
Solution:

External tangents are those which touch both the circles but they will not intersect in between the circles. The tangents touch at outmost points of circles that are ends of diameter if the circles have same diameter.

QUESTION: 5

 If curve y = 1 – ax2 and y = x2 intersect orthogonally then the value of a is
Solution:
QUESTION: 6

The coordinates of the point of the parabola

y2 = 8x, which is at minimum distance from the circle x2+(y+6)2=1 are
Solution:
QUESTION: 7

The length of the subtangent to the curve =3 at the point (4, 1) is
Solution:

Length of subtangent =y(dx/dy)
Now given √x+√y=3
√y=3−√x
⇒1/2√ydy/dx = −1/(2√x) (On differentiating)
⇒dx/dy=−√x/√y
⇒ydx/dy=−√x/√y
⇒dx/dy/(4,1) = −√1√4
=−2
But the length can never be negative.
So length = 2.

QUESTION: 8

 For a curve  is equal to
Solution:
QUESTION: 9

Water is poured into an inverted conical vessel of which the radius of the base is 2m and height 4m, at the rate of 77 litre/minute. The rate at which the water level is rising at the instant when the depth is 70 cm is: (use p = 22/7)
Solution:
QUESTION: 10

 If the tangent at each point of the curve

y =  x3 – 2ax2 + 2x + 5 makes an acute angle with the positive direction of x–axis, then
Solution:
QUESTION: 11

All points on the curve y2=4a  at which the tangents are parallel to the axis of x, lie on a
Solution:

y2=4a[x+asin(x/a)] ..... (i)
∴2y dy/dx​=4a[1+cos(x/a)] ..... (ii)
If tangent is parallel to x-axis, then dy/dx=0
So, from Eq. (i), we get
cos(x/a)=−1
∴sin(x/a)=0
On putting this value in Eq. (i), we get
y2=4a(x+0)
⇒y2=4ax

QUESTION: 12

A curve is represented by the equations, x = sec2 t and y = cot t where t is a parameter. If the tangent at the point P on the curve where t = p/4 meets the curve again at the point Q then |PQ| is equal to
Solution:
QUESTION: 13

The curves x3 + p xy2 = –2 and 3 x2y – y3 = 2 are orthogonal for
Solution:
QUESTION: 14

 If curves  = 1 and xy = c2 intersect orthogonally, then
Solution:

2x/a2+2y/b2−dy/dx=0
m1=dy/dx=−b2x/a2y
2x/A2−2y/B2⋅dy/dx=0
m2=dy/dx=B2x/A2y
m1⋅m2=−1
b2/a2⋅x/y⋅B2/A2⋅x/y=1
x2/y2=a2A2/b2B2
x^2/a2+y2/b2−x2/A2+y2/B2=0
x2(1/a2−1/A2)=−y2(1/b2+1/B2)
x2/y2=−(1/b2+1B2)/(1/a2−1/A2)
a2A2/b2B2=−(1/b2+1/B2)(1/a2−1/A2)
a2A2(1/a2−1/A2)=−b2B2(1/b2+1/B2)
a2A2(A2−a2/(a2B2))=−b2B2(B2+b2/(b2B2)
a2−A2=b2+B2
a2−b2=A2+B2

QUESTION: 15
