4. (B) Putting 3 = y, we have (2a − 4)y − (2a − 3)y + 1 = 0
2
This equation must have real solution ⇒ (2a − 3) − 4(2a − 4) ≥ 0
2
⇒ 4a − 20a + 25 ≥ 0
2
⇒ (2a − 5) ≥ 0. This is true
y = 1 satisfies the equation
Since 3x is positive and 3x ≥ 30 , y ≥ 1

sin2 β = sin α cos α ⇒ 2 sin2 β = sin 2α

Discriminant of x + 2x cot β + 1 = 0 is 4(cot β − 1) = >0

sin β
Hence the roots are real
sum of the roots = − 2 cot β

since cot β > 1, cot β lies in (− ∞, − 1) ∪ (1, ∞) and − 2 cot β lies (− ∞, − 2) ∪ (2, ∞)

9. (A), (B), (D)
2a2α2 + bα + c = 0 and 2a2β2 − bβ − c = 0

Now f(α) = a2α2 + bα + c = a2α2 − 2a2α2 = a negative number

f(β) = a2β2 − bβ + c = a2β2 + 2a2β2 = a positive number

Since f(α) and f(β) are of opposite sign, f(x) = 0 has a root γ between α and β
Since f(x) → + ∞ as x → − ∞, f(x) = 0 has a root in ( − ∞, α).
and hence f(x) = 0 has two real roots.

x2 − x   =0
A H AH

i.e., AHx − x (A + H) + 1 = 0 ... (1)

Since G2 = AH

⇒ G2x2 − x (A + H) + 1 = 0

Also multiplying by A, we get A G2x2 − x(A2 + G2) + A = 0

2 2 2 2
and multiplying by H, we get HG x − x (H + G ) + H = 0
SECTION III

11. (C)  2 ≤ 3 sin x  cos x ≤ 2

⇒ 4 ≤ 3 sin x  cos x  cos y  cos z ≤ 4
Hence kmax = 4

Statement 1 is true.

SECTION III
34. (A) When brakes are applied, the wheels of a vehicle are jammed, they stop
rotating. When the bicycle is pushed along the road with the brakes on, the
frictional force between the tyres and the road is due to sliding friction.
Rolling friction comes into play when the wheels are rotating. Since sliding
friction is greater than the rolling friction, it requires more effort to move the
cycle with its brakes on.

58. (A) Iron is well above copper in the electrochemical series. Iron is more
electropositive than copper and hence, undergoes easy oxidation.
59. (D) CO2 and NH3 are non-ideal gases. They show J.T. effect. i.e., cooling when
the compressed gas is subjected to adiabatic expansion.
