SECTION - I
Straight Objective Type
This section contains 6 multiple choice questions. Each question has 4 choices (A), (B), (C) and (D), out of which ONLY
ONE is correct.
1. Consider the two curves

C1 : y2 = 4x
C2 : x2 + y2 – 6x + 1 = 0
then,
(A) C1 and C2 touch each other only at one point
(B) C1 and C2 touch each other exactly at two points
(C) C1 and C2 intersect (but do not touch) at exactly two points
(D) C1 and C2 neither intersect nor touch each other
Answer (B)
Hints : For the points of intersection of the two given curves C1 : y2 = 4x and C2 : x2 + y2 – 6x + 1 = 0

Thus the given curves touch each other at exactly two points (1, 2) and (1, –2).

4. Let a and b non-zero real numbers. Then, the equation

(ax 2 + by 2 + c)(x 2 – 5xy + 6y 2) = 0
represents
(A) Four straight lines, when c = 0 and a, b are of the same sign
(B) Two straight lines and a circle, when a = b, and c is of sign opposite to that of a
(C) Two straight lines and a hyperbola, when a and b are of the same sign and c is of sign opposite to that
of a
(D) A circle and an ellipse, when a and b are of the same sign and c is of sign opposite to that of a
Answer (B)
Hints : Let a and b be non-zero real numbers.
The equation (ax2 + by2 + c)(x2 – 5xy + 6y2) = 0 implies either
x2 – 5xy + 6y2 = 0
⇒ (x – 2y)(x – 3y) = 0
(3)
⇒ x = 2y and x = 3y
⇒ x2 – 5xy + 6y2 = 0 represents two straight lines passing through origin.
or ax2 + by2 + c = 0
When c = 0 and a and b are of same signs then
ax2 + by2 + c = 0 ⇒ x = 0 and y = 0
which is a point specified as the origin.
When a = b and c is of sign opposite of that of a, ax2 + by2 + c = 0 represents a circle.
Hence the given equation (ax2 + by2 + c)(x2 – 5xy + 6y2) = 0 may represent two straight lines and a circle.

(B) STATEMENT-1 is True, STATEMENT-2 is True; STATEMENT-2 is NOT a correct explanation for STATEMENT-1
(C) STATEMENT-1 is True, STATEMENT-2 is False
(D) STATEMENT-1 is False, STATEMENT-2 is True
Answer (B)

g ′( x ) cos x − g ( x ) sin x
= lim
x →0 cos x
=0
(8)
f ( x ) = g ( x ) sin x
f ′( x ) = g ′( x ) sin x + g ( x ) cos x
f ′′( x ) = g ′′( x ) sin x + 2g ′( x ) cos x − g ( x ) sin x
⇒ f ′′(0) = 0
Thus xlim [g ( x ) cos x − g (0)cosec x ] = 0 = f ′′(0)

→0
⇒ Statement–1 is true.
Statement–2. f ′( x ) = g ′( x ) sin x + g ( x ) cos x
⇒ f ′(0) = g (0)
Statement–2 is not a correct explanation of Statement–1.

Since planes P1, P2, P3 are pairwise intersecting, their lines of intersection are parallel.
Statement–1, is false.

33. In a Young's double slit experiment, the separation between the two slits is d and the wavelength of the light
is λ. The intensity of light falling on slit 1 is four times the intensity of light falling on slit 2. Choose the correct
choice(s).
(A) If d = λ, the screen will contain only one maximum
(B) If λ < d < 2λ, at least one more maximum (besides the central maximum) will be observed on the screen
(C) If the intensity of light falling on slit 1 is reduced so that it becomes equal to that of slit 2, the intensities
of the observed dark and bright fringes will increase
(D) If the intensity of light falling on slit 2 is increased so that it becomes equal to that of slit 1, the intensities
of the observed dark and bright fringes will increase
Answer (A, B)
Hints:
At centre, Δx = 0 for which maxima is obtained. The path difference at a large distance from the screen
Δx → d.
When d = λ, the path difference is between 0 to λ.
Only central maxima exists in that case
when λ < d < 2λ, Δx lies between 0 to 2λ. So more than one maxima will be obtained.
When both the slits give same intensity, dark fringes are perfectly dark.

and
STATEMENT-2 : An object moving around the Earth under the influence of Earth's gravitational force is in a
state of 'free-fall'.
(20)
Answer (A)
Hints : An object in a state of free fall i.e. moving under the action of gravity alone experiences weightlessness.
36. STATEMENT-1 : Two cylinders, one hollow (metal) and the other solid (wood) with the same mass and identical
dimensions are simultaneously allowed to roll without slipping down an inclined plane from the same height.
The hollow cylinder will reach the bottom of the inclined plane first.
and
STATEMENT-2 : By the principle of conservation of energy, the total kinetic energies of both the cylinders are
identical when they reach the bottom of the incline.
Answer (D)
Hints : The body with a greater moment of inertia experiences lesser acceleration.
In pure rolling, energy is conserved. So, both objects have same total kinetic energy.
37. STATEMENT-1 : The stream of water flowing at high speed from a garden hose pipe tends to spread like a
fountain when held vertically up, but tends to narrow down when held vertically down.

Properties such as boiling point, freezing point and vapour pressure of a pure solvent change when solute
molecules are added to get homogeneous solution. These are called colligative properties. Applications of
colligative properties are very useful in day-to-day life. One of its examples is the use of ethylene glycol and
water mixture as anti-freezing liquid in the radiator of automobiles.
A solution M is prepared by mixing ethanol and water. The mole fraction of ethanol in the mixture is 0.9.
Given : Freezing point depression constant of water (Kfwater) = 1.86 K kg mol–1
Freezing point depression constant of ethanol (Kfethanol) = 2.0 K kg mol–1
Boiling point elevation constant of water (Kbwater) = 0.52 K kg mol–1

(A) 380.4 K (B) 376.2 K (C) 375.5 K (D) 345.7 K
Answer (B)
Hints : Here, water is solvent and ethanol is solute.
ΔTb = kb × m
0.1× 1000
= 0.52 ×
0.9 × 18
= 3.2084
Now, B.P. of solution = 373 + 3.2084
= 376.2084

Solutions to IIT-JEE 2008

1. Consider the two curves

⇒ x = 1, 1 equal real roots o n

2. If 0 < x < 1, then

4. Let a and b non-zero real numbers. Then, the equation

(A) n = 1, m = 1 (B) n = 1, m = –1 (C) n = 2, m = 2 (D) n > 2, m = n

The left hand derivative of x − 1 at x = 1 = p = –1

⎧3( x + 2)2 ; − 3 < x ≤ 1

f ′′( x ) = g ′′( x ) sin x + 2g ′( x ) cos x − g ( x ) sin x

Thus xlim [g ( x ) cos x − g (0)cosec x ] = 0 = f ′′(0)

12. Consider three planes

13. Consider the system of equations

When k ≠ 3 , the given system of equations has no solution.

14. Consider the system of equations

vanish and remaining six determinants have non-zero value.

(C) ( x − 3 )2 + (y + 1)2 = 1 (D) ( x − 3 )2 + (y − 1)2 = 1

The point ( 3 , 1) satisfies equation (i)

∴ Equation of circle C is ( x − 3 )2 + ( y − 1)2 = 1.

Paragraph for Question Nos. 18 to 20

18. If f ( −10 2 ) = 2 2 , then f ′′( −10 2 ) =

Hints : At x = −10 2, y = f(x)

Hints : Given area = ∫a

20. ∫ g′( x )dx =

(A) 2g(–1) (B) 0 (C) –2g(1) (D) 2g(1)

Hints : I = ∫ g ′(x )dx = [g (x )]

⇒ I = g(1) – g(–1) = g(1) – (–g(1)) = 2g(1)

= (x + 1)2 + (y – 1)2 + (x – 5)2 + (y – 1)2

⇒ –3– 5 <– w <3– 5 ...(i)

⇒ –3+ 5 ≤ z ≤3+ 5 ...(ii)

∴ – 3 < |z| – |w| +3 < 9

Planck’s Constant h = 4.1 × 10–15 eV.s

Velocity of light c = 3 × 108 m/s

Length of the Number of Total time for (n)

R1 = 1 Ω (Balanced wheat stone bridge)

Hints : PT2 = constant, Also PV = nRT

Paragraph for Question Nos. 38 to 40

Hints : Buoyont Force = Vρ l g

+ 13.6 13.6 ( 4 ) ⎛ − 13.6 2 ⎞

(A) 60 m / s (B) 45 m / s (C) 30 m / s (D) 15 m / s
