(C)

45)

Let point of ellipse is

Given OP = 4

All options are correct

46)

log184 + log18 6 + 5 log18 3

log18 (24 × 35) = x
18x = 24 × 35
2x × 32x = 23 × 36
⇒x=3

47)

(B) a1 – 2a2 + a3 = a – 2a1 – 2d + a1 + 2d = 0

(D) a1 – 4a2 + 6a3 – 4a4 + a5 = (a1 + a5) – 4(a2 + a4) + 3(2a3)
Sum of equidistant term of an A.P. from starting & end is always constant.
= K – 4K + 3K = 0
48) nC0 + nC1 +...+ nCn = 2n
n
C0 + nC1 +.... + , n ∈ odd natural number

49) Required ways

k = 2160 ⇒

50) Required no f ways

51) (x2 + y2 – 4x + 6y + 11) + λ(x2 + y2 – 2x + 8y + 13) = 0

passes through (0, 0), then

Equation of circle is 2x2 + 2y2 – 30x – 10y = 0

x-coordinate is

52) Their common chord is x + y + 1 = 0

Area of triangle with coordinate axes is

53) a – 1 > 0 ⇒ a > 1 ...(1)

D<0
⇒ (4 – 3a2) < 0

...(2)
(1) ∩ (2)

54) (i)

(ii)
(iii) (a – 1) f(1) > 0 ⇒ a ∈ (–∞,0) ∪ (1,∞)
⇒ (i) ∩ (ii) ∩ (iii)
55) ∵ R= ...(i)
∵ Δ=

∵ s= = 21 cm
∴ Δ= =
⇒ Δ = 84 cm2

∴ R= = cm

∴ R= cm.

56) b2 = 4 (1 – e2) ...(1)

foci (±2e, 0)

∴ 4e2 = 1 ⇒ e2 =

∴ b2 =
b2 = 3

57) |x – 2| + 2|x – 5| = 7
(i) x > 5 x – 2 + 2 (x – 5) = 7
3x = 19

(ii) 2 < x < 5 x – 2 – 2x + 10 = 7

x = 1 (rej)
(iii) x < 2 –x + 2 – 2x + 10 = 7
3x = 5
