  4. f has minimum value -3

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Consider given the function,

$F\left( x \right)=2{{x}^{3}}-21{{x}^{2}}+36x-20$      ……(1)

Differentiate with respect to x,

${{F}^{'}}\left( x \right)=6{{x}^{2}}-42x+36$          ……..(2)


For maxima and minima,

$ F\left( x \right)=0 $

$ 6{{x}^{2}}-42x+36=0 $

$ {{x}^{2}}-7x+6=0 $

$ {{x}^{2}}-6x-x+6=0 $

$ x\left( x-6 \right)-1\left( x-6 \right)=0 $

$ \left( x-6 \right)\left( x-1 \right)=0 $

$ x=1,6 $


Differentiate equation 2nd with respect to x,

${{F}^{''}}\left( x \right)=12x-42$

At $x=1\Rightarrow {{F}^{''}}\left( x \right)<0$

Hence, F(x) Is maximum.


At $x=6\Rightarrow F\left( x \right)>0$

Hence, function F(x) is minimum.

 

Hence, this is the answer.

Find out the largest term of the sequence  $\displaystyle \frac{1}{503},\displaystyle \frac{4}{524}, \displaystyle \frac{9}{581}, \displaystyle \frac{16} {692},....$

  1. $\displaystyle \frac{25}{875}$
  2. $\displaystyle \frac{36}{1148}$
  3. $\displaystyle \frac{49}{1529}$
  4. $\displaystyle \frac{64}{2036}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

General term can be written as
$T _{n}=\displaystyle \frac{n^{2}}{500+3n^{3}}$
then, $\displaystyle \frac{dT _{n}}{dn}=\displaystyle \frac{n(1000-3n^{3})}{(500+3n^{3})^{2}}$
For max or min of $T _{n}$,
$\displaystyle \frac{dT _{n}}{dn}=0$
$\therefore n=\left ( \displaystyle \frac{1000}{3} \right )^{1/3}=6.933\approx7$

Hence, $T _{7}$ is the largest term. So largest term in the given sequence is $\displaystyle \frac{49}{1529}$

Let $f(x)=\begin{cases} \left| x-1 \right| +a\ if\ x\le 1 \ 2x+3 \ \ \ \ if \ x>1 \end{cases}$ 
If $f(x)$ has a local minimum at $x=1$ then 

  1. $a>5$
  2. $0$
  3. $a\le 5$
  4. $a=5$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

For a local minimum at x=1, the function value at x=1 must be less than or equal to the values in its immediate neighborhood. Evaluating the left limit gives |1-1|+a = a, and the right limit gives 2(1)+3 = 5. Thus, we require a <= 5.

If $\displaystyle xy=a^{2}$ and $\displaystyle S=b^{2}x+c^{2}y$ where a,b and c are constants then the minimum value of S is 

  1. $abc$
  2. $\displaystyle bc\sqrt{a}$
  3. $2abc$
  4. none of these

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Given $x y = a^2$ and $S = b^2x + c^2y$
$\Rightarrow S = b^2 x + c^2a^2/x$
$\Rightarrow \dfrac{dS}{dx} = b^2 - c^2a^2/x^2$
For maximum or minimum value of $S$
$ \dfrac{dS}{dx} = 0 = b^2 - c^2a^2/x^2 \Rightarrow x =\pm  ac/b$
Now $\dfrac{dS}{dx} = 2 c^2a^2/x^3$
Clearly at $x =  ac/b$,  $\dfrac{dS}{dx} = 2 b^3/ac > 0 $ (Assuming that $ b^3/ac>0$)
Hence minimum value of $S$ is $= b^2(ac/b)+c^2(b/ac)= 2abc$

If $\displaystyle \theta +\phi =\frac{\pi }{3}$ then $\displaystyle  \sin \theta \cdot\sin \phi$ has a maximum value at $\displaystyle \theta$ =

  1. $\displaystyle \dfrac{\pi }{6}$
  2. $\displaystyle \dfrac{2\pi }{3}$
  3. $\displaystyle \dfrac{\pi }{4}$
  4. none of these

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Let $y = \sin\theta.\sin\phi = \sin\theta.\sin(\dfrac{\pi}{3}-\theta)$
For maximum value of $y$ 
$\dfrac{dy}{dx} = 0 = \cos\theta.\sin(\dfrac{\pi}{3}-\theta) - \sin\theta.\cos(\dfrac{\pi}{3}-\theta) = \sin(2\theta -\dfrac{\pi}{3})$
$\Rightarrow \theta = \dfrac{\pi}{6}$

The sum of two nonzero numbers is $8$. The minimum value of the sum of their reciprocals is

  1. $\displaystyle \frac{1}{4}$
  2. $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}$
  3. $\displaystyle \frac{1}{8}$
  4. none of these

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Let $x$ and $y$ be two numbers 
$\Rightarrow x+y = 8$
Assume $z$ be be sum of their inverse
$z = 1/x+1/y =\dfrac{x+y}{xy} = \dfrac{8}{xy} = \dfrac{8}{x(8-x)}$
For minimum value of $z $
$\dfrac{dz}{dx} = 0 =\dfrac{16(4-x)}{(x(8-x))^2}\Rightarrow x = 4$
Hence minimum value of $z$ is $=1/4+1/4 = \dfrac{1}{2}$

$\displaystyle \log _{10}x + \log _{10}y \geq 2$, then the smallest possible value of $\displaystyle x + y$ is

  1. $\displaystyle 10$
  2. $\displaystyle 30$
  3. $\displaystyle 20$
  4. None of these

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

${log} _{10}x+{log} _{10} y=$ $log _{10}(xy)\geq2$, 
Thus, $xy\geq100$
 Given the product of two numbers ,addition of two number is smallest when they are equal.
$ x^2\geq100$
Therefore, smallest value of $x+y =20$
Hence, option 'C' is correct.

Let $f(x)$ be a non-zero polynomial of degree $4$. Extreme points of $f(x)$ are $0, -1, 1$. If $f(k)=f(0)$ then?

  1. k has one rational & two irrational roots

  2. k has four rational roots

  3. k has four irrational roots

  4. k has three irrational roots

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Let $f'(x)=\lambda x(x^2-1)\Rightarrow f(x)=\lambda\left(\dfrac{x^4}{4}-\dfrac{x^2}{2}\right)+C$
Now $f(0)=f(k)\Rightarrow \dfrac{k^4}{4}-\dfrac{k^2}{2}=0\Rightarrow k=0$ or $\pm \sqrt{2}$
Hence $(1)$.

Divide 64 into two parts such that the sum of the cubes of two parts is minimum.

  1. 30, 34

  2. 31, 33

  3. 32, 32.

  4. 35, 29

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Let one part be x.
Hence another part will be 64-x.
Let 
$f(x)=x^{3}+(64-x)^{3}$.
$f'(x)$
$=3x^{2}-3(64-x)^{2}$
$=0$
Or 
$x^{2}=(64-x)^{2}$
Or 
$x=64-x$ or $x=-64+x$
Considering equation $x=64-x$, we get 
$x=32$.
Hence another part will also be 32.
