PART - I
Note: (i) All questions are compulsory. (ii) Choose the most appropriate answer from the given four alternatives and write the option code and the corresponding answer.
1. If \(A=\begin{pmatrix}\frac{3}{5}&\frac{4}{5}\\ x&\frac{3}{5}\end{pmatrix}\) and \(A^{T}=A^{-1}\), then the value of x is:
- (a) \(\frac{-4}{5}\)
- (b) \(\frac{-3}{5}\)
- (c) \(\frac{3}{5}\)
- (d) \(\frac{4}{5}\)
Solution: \(A^T = A^{-1} \implies AA^T = I\).
\(\begin{pmatrix}\frac{3}{5}&\frac{4}{5}\\ x&\frac{3}{5}\end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix}\frac{3}{5}&x\\ \frac{4}{5}&\frac{3}{5}\end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix}1&0\\ 0&1\end{pmatrix}\).
Comparing first row, second column term: \(\frac{3}{5}(x) + \frac{4}{5}(\frac{3}{5}) = 0 \implies \frac{3x}{5} + \frac{12}{25} = 0 \implies x = \frac{-4}{5}\).
\(\begin{pmatrix}\frac{3}{5}&\frac{4}{5}\\ x&\frac{3}{5}\end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix}\frac{3}{5}&x\\ \frac{4}{5}&\frac{3}{5}\end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix}1&0\\ 0&1\end{pmatrix}\).
Comparing first row, second column term: \(\frac{3}{5}(x) + \frac{4}{5}(\frac{3}{5}) = 0 \implies \frac{3x}{5} + \frac{12}{25} = 0 \implies x = \frac{-4}{5}\).
2. If A is a non-singular matrix such that \(A^{-1}=\begin{pmatrix}5&3\\ -2&-1\end{pmatrix}\) then \((A^{T})^{-1}=\)
- (a) \(\begin{pmatrix}-5&3\\ 2&1\end{pmatrix}\)

Radius \(r = \sqrt{(\sqrt{7}-0)^2 + (0-3)^2} = \sqrt{7+9} = 4\).
Circle: \(x^2 + (y-3)^2 = 16 \implies x^2+y^2-6y+9-16=0 \implies x^2+y^2-6y-7=0\).
Radius \(r = \sqrt{(\sqrt{7}-0)^2 + (0-3)^2} = \sqrt{7+9} = 4\).
Circle: \(x^2 + (y-3)^2 = 16 \implies x^2+y^2-6y+9-16=0 \implies x^2+y^2-6y-7=0\).

- (a) 2
- (b) 2.5
- (c) 3
- (d) 3.5
Solution: \(v = \frac{dx}{dt} = 80 - 32t\). At max height, \(v=0 \implies 32t=80 \implies t=2.5\).

Solution:
\(f(x) = x^2 + 3x\)
\(df = f'(x)dx = (2x + 3)dx\)
When \(x=3\) and \(dx=0.02\):
\(df = (2(3) + 3)(0.02) = (9)(0.02) = 0.18\)
\(f(x) = x^2 + 3x\)
\(df = f'(x)dx = (2x + 3)dx\)

Vectors are \(\vec{b} = 2\hat{i}+\hat{j}-2\hat{k}\) and \(\vec{d} = 4\hat{i}-4\hat{j}+2\hat{k}\).
\(cos\theta = \frac{|\vec{b} \cdot \vec{d}|}{|\vec{b}||\vec{d}|}\)
\(\vec{b} \cdot \vec{d} = (2)(4) + (1)(-4) + (-2)(2) = 8 - 4 - 4 = 0\).
Since the dot product is 0, the angle \(\theta = 90^\circ\) or \(\frac{\pi}{2}\).

Solution:
\(y' = 2x - 4x^3\).
Slope \(m\) at \(x=1\) is \(2(1) - 4(1)^3 = -2\).
Equation: \(y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) \implies y - 0 = -2(x - 1)\).
\(y = -2x + 2\) or \(2x + y - 2 = 0\).
\(y' = 2x - 4x^3\).
Slope \(m\) at \(x=1\) is \(2(1) - 4(1)^3 = -2\).
Equation: \(y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) \implies y - 0 = -2(x - 1)\).

LHS: \(z_2 + z_3 = -7i + 5 + 4i = 5 - 3i\).
\(z_1(z_2 + z_3) = 3(5 - 3i) = 15 - 9i\).
RHS: \(z_1z_2 = 3(-7i) = -21i\).
\(z_1z_3 = 3(5+4i) = 15 + 12i\).
\(z_1z_2 + z_1z_3 = -21i + 15 + 12i = 15 - 9i\).
LHS = RHS.
LHS: \(z_2 + z_3 = -7i + 5 + 4i = 5 - 3i\).
\(z_1(z_2 + z_3) = 3(5 - 3i) = 15 - 9i\).
RHS: \(z_1z_2 = 3(-7i) = -21i\).
\(z_1z_3 = 3(5+4i) = 15 + 12i\).
\(z_1z_2 + z_1z_3 = -21i + 15 + 12i = 15 - 9i\).
LHS = RHS.
27. Show that \(y=ae^{x}+be^{-x}\) is a solution of the differential equation \(y^{\prime\prime}-y=0\).
Solution:
\(y = ae^x + be^{-x}\)
\(y' = ae^x - be^{-x}\)
\(y'' = ae^x + be^{-x}\)
Therefore, \(y'' = y \implies y'' - y = 0\).
\(y = ae^x + be^{-x}\)
\(y' = ae^x - be^{-x}\)
\(y'' = ae^x + be^{-x}\)
Therefore, \(y'' = y \implies y'' - y = 0\).

Solution:
Sum of probabilities \(\sum f(x) = 1\).
\(k^2 + 2k^2 + 3k^2 + 2k + 3k = 1\)
\(6k^2 + 5k - 1 = 0\)
\((6k - 1)(k + 1) = 0\).
\(k = 1/6\) or \(k = -1\). Since probability cannot be negative, \(k = 1/6\).
Sum of probabilities \(\sum f(x) = 1\).
\(k^2 + 2k^2 + 3k^2 + 2k + 3k = 1\)
\(6k^2 + 5k - 1 = 0\)
\((6k - 1)(k + 1) = 0\).
\(k = 1/6\) or \(k = -1\). Since probability cannot be negative, \(k = 1/6\).

Solution:
Total probability \(\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} f(x)dx = 1\).
\(\int_{200}^{600} k dx = 1\)
\(k[x]_{200}^{600} = 1 \implies k(600 - 200) = 1 \implies 400k = 1\).
\(k = \frac{1}{400}\).
Total probability \(\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} f(x)dx = 1\).
\(\int_{200}^{600} k dx = 1\)
\(k[x]_{200}^{600} = 1 \implies k(600 - 200) = 1 \implies 400k = 1\).
\(k = \frac{1}{400}\).
30. Form the differential equation of the curve \(y=ax^{2}+bx+c\) where a, b and c are arbitrary constants.
Solution:

Step 1: Identify the curve and limits.
The equation of the parabola is \(y^2 = 16x\). This is a rightward opening parabola of the form \(y^2 = 4ax\).
Comparing \(4a = 16\), we get \(a = 4\).
The latus rectum is the vertical chord passing through the focus \((a, 0)\). Therefore, the equation of the latus rectum is the line \(x = 4\).

The parabola is symmetric about the x-axis. The total area is twice the area of the region in the first quadrant (from \(x=0\) to \(x=4\)).
\(Area = 2 \int_{0}^{4} y \, dx\)
From \(y^2 = 16x\), we have \(y = \sqrt{16x} = 4\sqrt{x}\) (taking positive root for the 1st quadrant).
Step 3: Evaluate the integral.
\(Area = 2 \int_{0}^{4} 4\sqrt{x} \, dx\)

Detailed Solution:
Method 1: Using the General Equation of a Plane
Let the equation of the plane be \(Ax + By + Cz + D = 0\).
1. Since it passes through \((a, 0, 0)\):
\(A(a) + B(0) + C(0) + D = 0 \Rightarrow Aa = -D \Rightarrow A = \frac{-D}{a}\).
2. Since it passes through \((0, b, 0)\):
\(A(0) + B(b) + C(0) + D = 0 \Rightarrow Bb = -D \Rightarrow B = \frac{-D}{b}\).
3. Since it passes through \((0, 0, c)\):
\(A(0) + B(0) + C(c) + D = 0 \Rightarrow Cc = -D \Rightarrow C = \frac{-D}{c}\).
Substitute values of A, B, and C back into the general equation:
\(\left(\frac{-D}{a}\right)x + \left(\frac{-D}{b}\right)y + \left(\frac{-D}{c}\right)z + D = 0\)
Divide the entire equation by \(-D\) (where \(D \neq 0\)):

\(\left(\frac{-D}{a}\right)x + \left(\frac{-D}{b}\right)y + \left(\frac{-D}{c}\right)z + D = 0\)
Divide the entire equation by \(-D\) (where \(D \neq 0\)):
\(\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} + \frac{z}{c} - 1 = 0\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} + \frac{z}{c} = 1\).
Hence proved.
