    Answer Key

    Section A — Multiple Choice Questions
    1. (B) $8$
    2. (A) $\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}$
    3. (A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
    4. (A) $\dfrac{3}{4t}$
    5. (B) $2e^e$
    Section B — Short Answer I
    1. Taking logs, $y\log x=x-y\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{x}{1+\log x}$. Then $\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{(1+\log x)\cdot1-x\cdot\frac1x}{(1+\log x)^2}=\dfrac{\log x}{(1+\log x)^2}$.
    2. Put $x=\tan\theta$, $|\theta|<\frac{\pi}{4}$. Then $\dfrac{2x}{1+x^2}=\sin2\theta$ and $\sin^{-1}(\sin2\theta)=2\theta=2\tan^{-1}x$. Hence the derivative is $\dfrac{2}{1+x^2}$.
    3. $\log y=x\log\sin x\Rightarrow\dfrac1y\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\log\sin x+x\cot x$. So $\dfrac{dy}{dx}=(\sin x)^x\left[\log\sin x+x\cot x\right]$.
    4. $\dfrac{dx}{d\theta}=a(1-\cos\theta)$, $\dfrac{dy}{d\theta}=-a\sin\theta$. So $\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{-\sin\theta}{1-\cos\theta}=-\cot\dfrac{\theta}{2}$.
    Section C — Short Answer II
    1. Let $u=(\log x)^x$: $\log u=x\log(\log x)$, so $\dfrac{u'}{u}=\log(\log x)+\dfrac{1}{\log x}$. Let $v=x^{\log x}$: $\log v=(\log x)^2$, so $\dfrac{v'}{v}=\dfrac{2\log x}{x}$. Hence $\dfrac{dy}{dx}=(\log x)^x\left[\log(\log x)+\dfrac1{\log x}\right]+x^{\log x}\cdot\dfrac{2\log x}{x}$.
    2. $y_1=e^{a\cos^{-1}x}\cdot\dfrac{-a}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}$, so $\sqrt{1-x^2}\,y_1=-ay$. Differentiate: $\sqrt{1-x^2}\,y_2-\dfrac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}\,y_1=-ay_1$. Multiply by $\sqrt{1-x^2}$: $(1-x^2)y_2-xy_1=-a\sqrt{1-x^2}\,y_1=-a(-ay)=a^2y$. Hence $(1-x^2)y_2-xy_1-a^2y=0$.
    3. Continuity at $x=2$: $\lim_{x\to2^+}(ax+b)=2a+b=5$. Continuity at $x=10$: $\lim_{x\to10^-}(ax+b)=10a+b=21$. Subtracting, $8a=16$, so $a=2$ and $b=1$.
    4. $f$ is a polynomial, hence continuous on $[1,3]$ and differentiable on $(1,3)$. $f(1)=-7$, $f(3)=-27$, so $\dfrac{f(3)-f(1)}{3-1}=-10$. $f'(c)=3c^2-10c-3=-10\Rightarrow3c^2-10c+7=0\Rightarrow c=1$ or $c=\dfrac73$. Only $c=\dfrac73$ lies in $(1,3)$, so MVT is verified with $c=\dfrac73$.
    Section D — Long Answer / Case Based
    1. $\dfrac{dx}{dt}=a\,t\cos t$ and $\dfrac{dy}{dt}=a\,t\sin t$, so $\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\tan t$. Then $\dfrac{d^2y}{dx^2}=\dfrac{d}{dt}(\tan t)\cdot\dfrac{dt}{dx}=\sec^2t\cdot\dfrac{1}{a\,t\cos t}=\dfrac{\sec^3t}{a\,t}$. At $t=\dfrac{\pi}{4}$: $\sec^3\dfrac{\pi}{4}=2\sqrt2$, so the value is $\dfrac{2\sqrt2}{a\cdot\frac{\pi}{4}}=\dfrac{8\sqrt2}{\pi a}$.
    2. (a) $\left|x^2\sin\frac1x\right|\le x^2\to0$, so $\lim_{x\to0}f(x)=0=f(0)$. (b) $f'(0)=\lim_{h\to0}\dfrac{h^2\sin\frac1h-0}{h}=\lim_{h\to0}h\sin\dfrac1h=0$ (since $\left|h\sin\frac1h\right|\le|h|$). So $f'(0)=0$. (c) For $x\ne0$, $f'(x)=2x\sin\dfrac1x-\cos\dfrac1x$. As $x\to0$, the first term tends to $0$ but $\cos\dfrac1x$ oscillates between $-1$ and $1$, so $\lim_{x\to0}f'(x)$ does not exist and hence is not equal to $f'(0)=0$. Thus $f'$ is not continuous at $0$.
