Question paper text
Mathematics 2019 Delhi Set-3
General Instructions:
- All questions are compulsory.
- This question paper contains 29 questions divided into four sections A, B, C and D.
Section A comprises of 4 questions of one mark each, Section B comprises of 8 questions of two marks each, Section C comprises of 11 questions of four marks each and Section D comprises of 6 questions of six marks each.
- All questions in Section A are to be answered in one word, one sentence or as per the exact requirement of the question.
- There is no overall choice. However, internal choice has been provided in 1 question of
Section A, 3 questions of Section B, 3 questions of Section C and 3 questions of Section D. You have to attempt only one of the alternatives in all such questions.
- Use of calculators is not permitted. You may ask logarithmic tables, if required.
Question 1
If <math>3A-B=\begin{bmatrix}5&0\\1&1\end{bmatrix}</math> and <math>B=\begin{bmatrix}4&3\\2&5\end{bmatrix}</math> , then find the matrix A.
SOLUTION:
<math>3A - B = \begin{bmatrix} 5 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}</math>
We need to calculate A.
<math>3A = \begin{bmatrix} 5 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix} + B</math>
<math display="block">B = \begin{bmatrix} 4 & 3 \\ 2 & 5 \end{bmatrix}</math>
<math display="block">3A = \begin{bmatrix} 9 & 3 \\ 3 & 6 \end{bmatrix}</math>
<math display="block">A = \frac{1}{3} \begin{bmatrix} 9 & 3 \\ 3 & 6 \end{bmatrix}</math>
<math>A = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 1 \\ 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}</math>
Question 2
Write the order and the degree of the following differential equation:
<math>x^3 \left(\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}\right)^2 + x \left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)^4 = 0</math>
SOLUTION:
Order is the highest order derivative present in the differential equation And degree is the power of highest order derivative.
We have given the differential equation:
<math>x^3 \left( \frac{\mathrm{d}^2 y}{\mathrm{d} x^2} \right)^2 + x \left( \frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} x} \right)^4 = 0</math>
Here, order is 2 and degree is 2.
Question 3
If <math>f(x) = x + 1</math>, find <math>\frac{d}{dx}(f \circ f)(x)</math>.
SOLUTION:
Given: <math>f(x) = x + 1</math>
<math>fof(x) = (x+1) + 1 = x + 2</math>
<math>\frac{d}{dx}(f\circ f)(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(x+2) = 1</math>
Question 4
If a line makes angles 90°, 135°, 45° with the x, y and z axes respectively, find its direction cosines. OR Find the vector equation of the line which passes through the point (3, 4, 5) and is parallel to the vector <math>2\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - 3\hat{k}</math>.
SOLUTION:
A line makes <math>90^{\circ}</math>, <math>135^{\circ}</math>, <math>45^{\circ}</math> with x, y and z axes respectively.
Therefore, Direction cosines of the line are <math>\cos 90^\circ, \; \cos 135^\circ \; and \; \cos 45^\circ</math>
<math>\Rightarrow</math> Direction cosines of the line are <math>0, -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}</math>
OR
Vector equation of a line which passes through a point <math>(3,4,5)</math> and parallel to the vector <math>2\hat{\mathbf{i}}+2\hat{\mathbf{j}}-3\hat{\mathbf{k}}</math> is <math>\overrightarrow{r} = 3\hat{\mathbf{i}} + 4\hat{\mathbf{j}} + 5\hat{\mathbf{k}} + \mu\left(2\hat{\mathbf{i}} + 2\hat{\mathbf{j}} - 3\hat{\mathbf{k}}\right)</math>
