Paper 2 - Maths

Question 1. Let f: R -> R be given by f(x) = (x - 1) (x - 2) (x - 5). Define F(x) =

\(\int_0^x f(t) dt, x > 0\)
. Then which of the following options is/are correct?

  1. a) F has a local minimum at x = 1
  2. b) F has a local maximum at x = 2
  3. c) F(x) ≠ 0 for all x ϵ (0, 5)
  4. d) F has two local maxima and one local minimum in (0, ∞)

Solution:

  1. F(x) = (x - 1) (x - 2) (x - 5)

    JEE Advanced Question Paper 2019 Maths Paper 2

    At x = 1 and x = 5, F'(x) changes from - to +

    Therefore, F(x) has two local minima points at x = 1 and x = 5.

    F(x) has one local maxima point at x = 2.

    Answer: a,b,c

    Given:

    \(\vec {PQ} = k . \vec {PR}\)

    λ/[ λ-1] = - μ/-1 = -1/-r

    Answer: b, d


Question 5: For non-negative integers n, let
JEE Advanced 2019 Question Paper Maths Paper 2 Question 5

Assuming cos-1x takes value in [0, π], which of the following options is/are correct?

  1. a) If α = tan (cos-1f(6)), then α2 + 2α – 1 = 0
  2. b) lim_(n-> ∞) f(n) = 1/2
  3. c) f(4) = √3/2
  4. d) sin (7 cos-1f(5)) = 0

Solution:

  1. JEE Advanced 2019 Question Paper Maths Paper 2 Solution 5

    (a) α = tan(cos-1 f(6)) = tan(cos-1(cos π/8) = tan (π/8)

    α2 + 2 α – 1 = tan2 (π/8) + 2 tan (π/8) – 1

    tan 2(π/8) = [2 tan (π/8)]/[1- tan2(π/8)]

    This implies, 1 = 2α/[1- α2]

    α2 + 2 α – 1 = 0

    Option (a) is correct.

    (b)

    JEE Advanced 2019 Question Paper Math Paper 2 Question 5

    Option (b) is not correct.

    (c) f(4) = cos(π/6) = √3/2

    Option (c) is correct.

    (d) sin(7 cos-1 f(5)) = sin(7 cos-1 (cos π/7)) = sin(7 x π/7) = 0

    Option (d) is correct.

    Answer: a, c, d


Question 6: JEE Advanced 2019 Question Paper Maths Paper 2 Question 6

Where PKT denotes the transpose of the matrix PK. Then which of the following options is/are correct?

  1. a) X – 30I is an invertible matrix
  2. b) The sum of diagonal entries of X is 18
  3. c) If
    \(X \begin{bmatrix} 1\\ 1\\ 1 \end{bmatrix} = \alpha \begin{bmatrix} 1\\ 1\\ 1 \end{bmatrix}\)
    , then α = 30
  4. d) X is a symmetric matrix

Solution:

  1. P1 = P1T = P1-1

    P2 = P2T = P2-1

    …….

    P6 = P6T = P6-1

    And Let

    \(A = \begin{bmatrix} 2 &1 &3 \\ 1 & 0& 2\\ 3& 2 &1 \end{bmatrix}\)

    Here AT = A -> A is symmetric matrix

    Now, XT = (P1AP1T + ……+ P6AP6T)T

    = P1AP1T + ……+ P6AP6T

    = X

    Therefore, X is symmetric matrix.

    Again,

    Let B =

    \(\begin{bmatrix} 1\\ 1\\ 1 \end{bmatrix}\)

    XB = P1AP1TB + P2AP2TB +……..+ P6AP6TB

    = P1AB + P2AB+ ……+ P6AB

    = (P1 + P2 + ……+ P6)

    \(\begin{bmatrix} 6\\ 3\\ 6 \end{bmatrix}\)

    =

    \(\begin{bmatrix} 30\\ 30\\ 30 \end{bmatrix}\)
    = 30 B

    => α = 30

    Since

    \(X \begin{bmatrix} 1\\ 1\\ 1 \end{bmatrix} = 30 \begin{bmatrix} 1\\ 1\\ 1 \end{bmatrix}\)

    =>(X – 30I)B = 0 has a nontrivial solution B =

    \(\begin{bmatrix} 1\\ 1\\ 1 \end{bmatrix}\)

    =>X – 30I = 0

    X = P1AP1T + …..+ P6AP6T

    Trace(X) = tr(P1AP1T) + …..+ tr(P6AP6T)

    = (2 + 0 + 1) + ……(2 + 0 + 1) = 3 + 3 + ….6 times = 18

    Answer: b, c, d


Question 7: Let x ϵ R and let
JEE Advanced 2019 Question Paper Maths Paper 2 Question 7

And R = PQP-1. Then which of the following options is/are correct?

  1. a) For x = 1, there exists a unit vector
    \(\alpha \hat i + \beta \hat j + \gamma \hat k \ for \ which \ R \begin{bmatrix} \alpha\\ \beta\\ \gamma \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 0\\ 0\\ 0 \end{bmatrix}\)
  2. b) There exists a real number x such that PQ = QP
  3. c) det R =
    \(det\begin{bmatrix} 2 & x & x\\ 0& 4 & 0\\ x&x & 5 \end{bmatrix} + 8\)
    , for all x Є R.
  4. d) For x = 0, if
    \(R\begin{bmatrix} 1\\ a\\ b \end{bmatrix} = 6\begin{bmatrix} 1\\ a\\ b \end{bmatrix}\)
    , then a + b = 5.

Solution:

  1. R = PQP-1

    |R| = |P||Q||P-1|

    =>det Q = 2(24) – x(0) + x(-4x) = 48 – 4x2

    JEE Advanced 2019 Question Paper Maths Paper 2 Solution 7

    -4 + a + 2b/3 = 0 and -2a + 4b/3 = 0 => a = 2 and b = 3

    Therefore, a + b = 5

    PQ = QP

    =>x + 2 + x = 2 + 2x ->No value exists.


Question 8: Let f(x) = sinπx/x2 , x > 0

Let x1 < x2 < x3 <…..< xn < …. be all the points of local maximum of f.

and y1 < y2 < y3 <…..< yn < …. be all the points of local minimum of f.

Then which of the following options is/are correct?

  1. a) |xn - yn| > 1 ;for every n
  2. b) x1 < y1
  3. c) xn Є (2n, 2n + 1/2) ;for every n
  4. d) xn+1 – xn > 2 ;for every n

    Question 10: Let |X| denote the number of elements in set X. Let S = {1,2,3,4,5,6} be a sample space, where each element is equally likely to occur. If A and B are independent events associated with S, then the number of ordered pairs (A,B) such that 1 < |B| < |A|, equals.

      Solution:

      1. The number of ordered pairs of (A, B) are

        6C1(6C2 + 6C3 + 6C4 +…..+6C6 )+ 6C2 (6C3 + 6C4 + …+ 6C6) + 6C3 (6C4 + 6C5 +6C6) + 6C4 (6C5 + 6C6) + 6C5 . 6C6

        = (6C1 . 6C2 + 6C1 . 6C3 +…..+ 6C1 . 6C6 )+ (6C2 . 6C3 + 6C2 . 6C4 +…..+ 6C2 . 6C6) + (6C3 . 6C4 + 6C3 . 6C5 + 6C3 . 6C6) + 6C4 . 6C5 + 6C4. 6C6 + 6C5 . 6C6

        = (12C56C1) + (12C46C2) + (12C36C3) + (12C26C4) + (12C16C5)

        = (12C1 + 12C2 + 12C3 + 12C4 + 12C5 ) – ( 6C1 + 6C2 + 6C3 + 6C4 + 6C5)

        = 1585 – 62 = 1523


      Question 11: Five person A, B, C, D and E are seated in a circular arrangement. If each of them is given a hat of one of the three colours red, blue and green, then the number of ways of distributing the hats such that the persons seated in adjacent seats get different coloured hats is

        Solution:

        1. JEE Advanced Question Paper Maths 2019 Paper 2 Solutions

          Maximum number of hats used of same colour are 2.

          They cannot be 3 otherwise atleast 2 hats of same colour are consecutive.

          Now the hats used are consider as B B G G R

          Which can be selected in 3 ways.

          It can be R G G B B or R R G B B or G G R R B

          The number of ways of distributing blue hat (single one) in 5 persons equal to 5.

          Now either position B and D are filled by green hats and C and E are filled by Red hats or B & D are filled by Red hats and C & E are filled by Green hats.

          So, only 2 ways are possible.

          Hence, number of ways = 3×5×2 = 30 ways.

          equals

            Solution:

            1. JEE Advanced Solved Question Paper Math 2019 Paper 2

              Let tan θ = t2 =>sec 2θ dθ = dt

              2I/3 =

              Hint: Split 2t/((t+1)4 = 1/(t+1)3 – 1/(t+1)4

              Solving above integration, we get

              Solution:

              1. f(x) = 0

                => sin(π cos x) = 0

                This implies, π cos x = nπ

                Cos x = n

                =>Cos x = -1, 0, 1

                x = {nπ , (2nπ) π /2}

                => x = {nπ/2, n Є I}

                f’(x) = 0

                => cos(π cos x)(- π sin x) = 0

                => π cos x = (2n + 1) π/2 or x = nπ

                => cos x = n + (1/2) or x = nπ

                => cos x = ±(1/2) or x = nπ

                Therefore, y = {2nπ ± π/3, 2nπ ± 2π/3, n π }

                g(x) = 0 => cos (2 π sin x) = 0

                => 2 π sin x = (2n + 1) π/2

                => sin x = (2n+1)/4 = ±(1/4), ±(3/4)

                g’(x) = 0 => -sin (2 π sin x) 2 π cos x = 0

                => 2 π sin x = n π or x = (2n + 1) π/2

                => sin x = n/2 = 0, ±(1/2), ±1 or x = (2n + 1) π/2

                |C1C3| = |r - 3|
