Q1 Mathematical Reasoning
The domain of f(x) = sin⁻¹(x² − 3x + 2) is:
For sin⁻¹(y), −1 ≤ y ≤ 1. Solve −1 ≤ x² − 3x + 2 ≤ 1. x² − 3x + 2 ≤ 1 → x² − 3x + 1 ≤ 0 → x ∈ [(3−√5)/2, (3+√5)/2]. x² − 3x + 2 ≥ −1 → x² − 3x + 3 ≥ 0, discriminant negative so always true. Domain is [(3−√5)/2, (3+√5)/2].

Directly from intercept form.
Q6 Mathematical Reasoning
If y = (tan⁻¹ x)², then (1 + x²)² y₂ + 2x(1 + x²)y₁ is equal to:
y₁ = 2 tan⁻¹ x / (1+x²). So (1+x²)y₁ = 2 tan⁻¹ x. Differentiating: 2x y₁ + (1+x²)y₂ = 2/(1+x²). Multiply by (1+x²): 2x(1+x²)y₁ + (1+x²)² y₂ = 2.
Q7 Logical Reasoning
The maximum slope of the curve y = -x³ + 3x² + 9x - 27 is:
Slope m = dy/dx = -3x² + 6x + 9. To maximize m, dm/dx = -6x + 6 = 0 → x = 1. Max slope = -3(1)² + 6(1) + 9 = 12.
Q8 Everyday Mathematics

A wheelchair ramp at a Mumbai hospital rises 1m for every 5m distance along the ground. The angle of inclination is:
The rise (opposite) is 1m and run (adjacent) is 5m. tan(θ) = 1/5. Hence, θ = tan⁻¹(1/5).

A letter is known to have come from either TATANAGAR or CALCUTTA. On the envelope, only two consecutive letters 'TA' are visible. The probability that the letter came from TATANAGAR is:
TATANAGAR has 8 pairs, 'TA' appears twice (prob 2/8 = 1/4). CALCUTTA has 7 pairs, 'TA' appears once (prob 1/7). P(TATA|TA) = (1/2 × 1/4) / [(1/2 × 1/4) + (1/2 × 1/7)] = (1/4) / (1/4 + 1/7) = 7/11.

Q13 Logical Reasoning
The ILATE rule for integration by parts prioritizes functions in which order?

Q14 Everyday Mathematics
Sunita works in an SBI branch in Delhi. She sorts a bundle of ₹500 notes. If relation R is defined as 'has the same serial number as', then R is:
Since every real ₹500 note has a completely unique serial number, a note can only share a serial number with itself. Thus R = {(a, a) for all notes a}, which is the identity relation.
Q15 Mathematical Reasoning
The order of the differential equation representing the family of curves y = a sin(x + b), where a and b are arbitrary constants, is:
There are two independent arbitrary constants (a and b) in the given family of curves. Hence, the differential equation will be of order 2.
Q16 Mathematical Reasoning
The operation a ∗ b = (a + b)/2 on R is:
Commutative: (a+b)/2 = (b+a)/2. Associative: (a∗b)∗c = ((a+b)/2 + c)/2 = (a+b+2c)/4. a∗(b∗c) = (a + (b+c)/2)/2 = (2a+b+c)/4. Not equal in general, so not associative.
Q17 Mathematical Reasoning
If f : R → R is defined by f(x) = 2ˣ, then f is:
2ˣ is strictly increasing → one-one. Range is (0, ∞), not all real numbers → not onto.
Q18 Achievers Section
How many real solutions does the inverse trigonometric equation sin⁻¹x = πx/2 have?
Let f(x) = sin⁻¹x and g(x) = πx/2. Plotting both on their valid domain [−1, 1], they intersect at the origin (x = 0) and at the boundaries x = 1 (where both equal π/2) and x = −1 (where both equal −π/2). Thus, there are exactly three real solutions.
Q19 Logical Reasoning

The transpose of a matrix is formed by turning all its rows into columns and all its columns into rows.
Q20 Logical Reasoning
Let f(x) = x³ − x² + x + 1 and g(x) = max{f(t): 0 ≤ t ≤ x} for 0 ≤ x ≤ 1, then g(x) is not differentiable at x = 1/3. True or False: g is discontinuous at x = 1/3.
g(x) is always continuous as the maximum function of a continuous function. It may not be differentiable where f stops being the maximum, but it remains continuous.
Q21 Mathematical Reasoning
If |2x 3; 5 x| = |1 4; −2 3|, then x equals:
LHS = 2x² − 15. RHS = (1)(3) − (4)(−2) = 3 + 8 = 11. So 2x² − 15 = 11 → 2x² = 26 → x² = 13 → x = ±√13. Option 0 is ±√13. We adjust.
Q22 Mathematical Reasoning
The transpose of a row matrix is always a:
Transpose of an m×n matrix is n×m. A row matrix is 1×n, so its transpose is n×1, which is a column matrix.
Q23 Logical Reasoning
The maximum value of (sin⁻¹(x))² + (cos⁻¹(x))² is:
Let a = sin⁻¹(x). Then (cos⁻¹(x))² = (π/2 − a)². The sum is 2a² − πa + π²/4. The maximum occurs at the domain boundary a = −π/2 (when x = −1), yielding 5π²/4.

Q26 Mathematical Reasoning
If A = [[1, 0, 0], [0, 2, 0], [0, 0, 3]], then trace(A) is:
Trace(A) = 1 + 2 + 3 = 6.
Q27 Logical Reasoning
Let * be defined on the set of non-zero rational numbers Q by a * b = a/b. Then * is:
a * b = a/b, but b * a = b/a, so not commutative. Also, (a * b) * c = (a/b)/c = a/(bc), whereas a * (b * c) = a/(b/c) = (ac)/b. Hence, not associative.
Q28 Achievers Section
The coordinates of the point on the line (x−1)/2 = (y+1)/−3 = z/1 which is at a distance of √14 from the point (1, −1, 0) are:
General point is (2λ+1, −3λ−1, λ). Distance squared from (1, −1, 0) is (2λ)² + (−3λ)² + λ² = 14λ². Given distance is √14, so 14λ² = 14 → λ² = 1 → λ = ±1. If λ = 1, point is (3, −4, 1). If λ = −1, point is (−1, 2, −1).
Q29 Mathematical Reasoning
The normal to the curve x² = 4y at the point (2, 1) is:
Differentiating x² = 4y yields 2x = 4(dy/dx), so dy/dx = x/2. At (2,1), tangent slope = 1. Normal slope = -1. Equation: y - 1 = -1(x - 2) → x + y = 3.
Q30 Everyday Mathematics
A manufacturer sells a product at ₹x per unit. The demand function is x = 100 − 2p. The marginal revenue when p = 20 is:
p = (100 − x)/2. Revenue R = p x = x(100 − x)/2 = 50x − x²/2. MR = dR/dx = 50 − x. When p = 20, x = 100 − 40 = 60. MR = 50 − 60 = −10? That's negative. We check: if x = 100 − 2p, then p = 50 − x/2. R = 50x − x²/2. MR = 50 − x. At p = 20, x = 100 − 40 = 60, MR = −10. Not in options. Maybe marginal revenue with respect to p? No. Perhaps the question means p = 20 is the selling price, and demand is x = 100 − 2p. Then x = 60. R = 20 × 60 = 1200. Marginal revenue usually means derivative of R with respect to quantity. dR/dx = 50 − x = −10. To get a positive option, we change to x = 200 − 2p. Then p = 100 − x/2. R = 100x − x²/2. MR = 100 − x. At p = 20, x = 200 − 40 = 160, MR = 100 − 160 = −60. Still negative. Maybe it's a linear demand and marginal revenue is always half? Actually, if p = a − bx, R = ax − bx², MR = a − 2bx. With demand x = 100 − 2p → p = 50 − 0.5x. R = 50x − 0.5x², MR = 50 − x. At p = 20, x = 60, MR = −10. Not matching. We'll adjust options to include −10 or change numbers. We set x = 100 − p. Then p = 100 − x. R = 100x − x². MR = 100 − 2x. At p = 20, x = 80, MR = 100 − 160 = −60. No. We use p = 50, then x = 0, MR = 100. We'll just make the correct answer something else and ensure it's in options. We do: demand x = 200 − 10p, then p = 20 − x/10. R = 20x − x²/10. MR = 20 − x/5. At p = 10, x = 100, MR = 20 − 20 = 0. Not good. We'll scrap and write a simpler one: R(x) = 5x − 0.01x², find MR at x = 100. MR = 5 − 0.02x = 5 − 2 = 3. Options: ₹3, etc.
Q31 Logical Reasoning
If a × b = a × c and a ≠ 0, then which of the following is definitely true?
a × b − a × c = 0 → a × (b − c) = 0. This means that either b − c = 0 (so b = c), or vector a is parallel to vector (b − c). Thus, b=c is not 'definitely' true, but a being parallel to (b−c) encompasses the general relationship (including the zero vector case trivially).
Q32 Logical Reasoning
Let L be the set of all lines in a plane and R be the relation on L defined as L₁ R L₂ if L₁ is perpendicular to L₂. Then R is:
A line cannot be perpendicular to itself (not reflexive). If L₁ ⊥ L₂, then L₂ ⊥ L₁ (symmetric). If L₁ ⊥ L₂ and L₂ ⊥ L₃, then L₁ is parallel to L₃, not perpendicular (not transitive).
Q33 Mathematical Reasoning
The appropriate substitution to solve the homogeneous differential equation dx/dy = f(x/y) is:
When the equation is expressed as dx/dy = f(x/y), it is easier to substitute x = vy, which gives dx/dy = v + y(dv/dy).
Q34 Mathematical Reasoning
Evaluate: ∫ dx / (3 + 2x - x²)
Complete square: 3 + 2x - x² = 4 - (x-1)². Integral is ∫ dx / (2² - (x-1)²). Formula gives (1/(2*2)) log|(2+(x-1)) / (2-(x-1))| = (1/4) log|(x+1)/(3-x)| + C.
Q35 Logical Reasoning
The solution of sin⁻¹(1−x) − 2sin⁻¹(x) = π/2 is:
Substitute x = 0: sin⁻¹(1) − 0 = π/2, which is true. If x = 1/2: sin⁻¹(1/2) − 2sin⁻¹(1/2) = π/6 − 2(π/6) = −π/6 ≠ π/2. Thus x=0 is the only solution.
Q36 Mathematical Reasoning
If A = [[0, 0], [0, 0]] and B is any 2×2 matrix, then AB equals:
Multiplication by a zero matrix always yields a zero matrix. So AB = 0.
Q37 Mathematical Reasoning
A random variable has probability distribution P(x) = kx² for x = 1, 2, 3. The value of k is:
Sum = k(1²) + k(2²) + k(3²) = k(1 + 4 + 9) = 14k = 1. Therefore, k = 1/14.
Q38 Everyday Mathematics
In a town, the number of males and females in three localities are represented by a matrix M = [[200, 180], [150, 160], [100, 120]] where rows represent localities and columns represent males and females. The total number of people in locality 2 is:
Locality 2 corresponds to row 2: [150, 160]. Total = 150 + 160 = 310.
Q39 Logical Reasoning
If two vectors are collinear, which of the following statements is ALWAYS false?
Collinear vectors are parallel but can have opposite directions (anti-parallel). Thus, they don't must have the same direction.
Q40 Mathematical Reasoning
∫dx/√(x² + 9) is equal to:
∫dx/√(x² + a²) = ln|x + √(x² + a²)| + C or sinh⁻¹(x/a) + C. Both forms are equivalent.
Q41 Logical Reasoning
If ∫₀¹ xˣ dx = ∫₀¹ (1 − x)ˣ dx, then the value of α is:
Let I = ∫₀¹ xˣ dx. Put x = 1 − t, dx = −dt. Limits: 0→1, 1→0. I = ∫₁⁰ (1−t)ˣ (−dt) = ∫₀¹ (1−t)ˣ dt. So equality holds for any α. The variable of integration is dummy; the integral of xˣ from 0 to 1 equals integral of (1−x)ˣ from 0 to 1 by substitution, regardless of α.
Q42 Everyday Mathematics
Ravi went to a shop and bought 3 pens and 2 notebooks for ₹85. If the cost of a pen is ₹x and a notebook is ₹y, the relation between x and y is 3x + 2y = 85. This relation from N to N is:
For a given x, there could be multiple y satisfying the equation, or none. The relation is not a function because one x may correspond to more than one y (or no y). For example, x=5 gives 2y=70 → y=35; x=15 gives 2y=40 → y=20. But each x gives exactly one y actually: y = (85−3x)/2. Since it's a relation from N to N, it associates exactly one y to each x where 85−3x is even and positive. This defines a function from a subset of N. Since y = (85−3x)/2 gives a unique y for each x, it is a function. However, the domain is not all N, only those x where (85−3x) is a positive even integer. But the question says relation 'from N to N'. A function can have domain a proper subset. Actually, a relation R from A to B is a function if for every a ∈ A there is at most one b such that (a,b) ∈ R. Here, for each x ∈ N, there is at most one y. So it is a function (partial function). But the question might intend that not all x give a natural y, so it's not a function 'from N to N'? Usually 'function from A to B' requires domain = A. Since some x ∈ N do not yield y ∈ N, it's not a function from N to N. We go with 'not a function' because domain is not all of N. Yes, a function must be defined on the whole domain. So answer is 'not a function'.
Q43 Achievers Section
What is the area of the region completely bounded by the downward opening parabola y = 4x − x² and the x-axis?
Roots are x=0, 4. Area = ∫(0 to 4) (4x − x²) dx = [2x² − x³/3] = 32 − 64/3 = 32/3 sq units.
Q44 Achievers Section
The number of real solutions of the equation √(1+cos 2x) = √2 cos⁻¹(cos x) in [π/2, π] is:
LHS = √(2cos²x) = √2|cos x| = −√2 cos x (since cos x ≤ 0 in [π/2, π]). RHS = √2 cos⁻¹(cos x). For x ∈ [π/2, π], cos⁻¹(cos x) = 2π−x? No, in [0,π], cos⁻¹(cos x)=x. So RHS = √2 x. Equation: −√2 cos x = √2 x → cos x = −x. Drawing graphs of y=cos x and y=−x in [π/2, π] shows 1 intersection.
Q45 Everyday Mathematics
A shop board is hung using two strings. The tension in the strings are T₁ = 2î + 3ĵ and T₂ = −2î + 4ĵ. The total upward pull supporting the weight of the board is:
Total upward force = T₁ + T₂ = (2î + 3ĵ) + (−2î + 4ĵ) = 0î + 7ĵ = 7ĵ.

Q47 Mathematical Reasoning
The area of the smaller part of the circle x² + y² = a² cut off by the line x = a/√2 is:
Smaller part is to the right of x = a/√2. Area = 2 ∫[a/√2 to a] √(a² − x²) dx = 2[(x/2)√(a²−x²) + (a²/2)sin⁻¹(x/a)]_(a/√2)^a = 2[0 + (a²/2)(π/2) − (a/(2√2))(a/√2) − (a²/2)(π/4)] = 2[a²π/4 − a²/4 − a²π/8] = 2[a²π/8 − a²/4] = a²π/4 − a²/2 = (a²/2)(π/2 − 1) sq units.
Q48 Everyday Mathematics
A closed cylindrical tank of radius 7 m and height 3 m is made from a sheet of metal. The cost of the sheet is ₹20 per m². The approximate change in the cost when the radius is increased by 0.1 m is:
Surface area S = 2πr(r + h) = 2πr(r + 3) = 2π(r² + 3r). dS/dr = 2π(2r + 3). At r = 7, dS/dr = 2π(17) = 34π ≈ 106.76. dr = 0.1. dS ≈ 10.676 m². Cost change ≈ 20 × 10.676 ≈ 213.5. We compute exactly: dS = 2π(2r + h) dr = 2π(14 + 3)(0.1) = 2π(17)(0.1) = 3.4π ≈ 10.68. Cost = 20 × 3.4π = 68π ≈ 213.6. Not in options. We use formula: S = 2πr² + 2πrh. dS = (4πr + 2πh) dr = 2π(2r + h) dr = 2π(14 + 3)(0.1) = 3.4π. Cost = 68π ≈ 213.6. Maybe h = 3, r = 7, so S = 2π(49 + 21) = 2π(70) = 140π. dS = 4πr dr + 2πh dr = 4π(7)(0.1) + 2π(3)(0.1) = 2.8π + 0.6π = 3.4π. Cost = 68π. If ₹20, then 20 × 3.4π = 68π ≈ 213.6. To get one of the options, maybe the tank is open? Or different values. We assume open cylindrical tank (no top). S = πr² + 2πrh. dS = 2πr dr + 2πh dr = 2π(7 + 3)(0.1) = 2π. Cost = 40π ≈ 125.6, not matching. We try: if sheet cost ₹20 per m², and dS = 3.4π, cost = 68π. If π ≈ 22/7, 68 × 22/7 ≈ 213.7. Still no match. We'll adjust options to include 68π or change numbers. We change cost to ₹10 per m²: cost = 34π ≈ 106.76. Not in options. We make radius 3.5 m (7/2), h = 3. Then dS = 2π(2(3.5) + 3)(0.1) = 2π(7 + 3)(0.1) = 2π. Cost = 40π ≈ 125.6. Still no. To get ₹88, cost change = 88, so dS = 88/20 = 4.4 m². Then 2π(2r + h) dr = 4.4. If dr = 0.1, 2π(2r + 3) = 44 → 2r + 3 = 44/(2π) = 22/π ≈ 7, so 2r ≈ 4, r ≈ 2. We'll just set r = 2, h = 3. Then S = 2π(2)(5) = 20π. dS = 2π(4 + 3)(0.1) = 1.4π ≈ 4.4. Cost = 20 × 4.4 = 88. So We'll change question to radius 2 m, height 3 m.
Q49 Everyday Mathematics
Find two positive numbers whose sum is 15 and the sum of whose squares is minimum. The numbers are:
Let numbers be x and 15-x. Sum of squares S = x² + (15-x)². S' = 2x - 2(15-x) = 4x - 30. S' = 0 gives x = 7.5. The numbers are 7.5 and 7.5.
