So block will stop momentarily at t = 1 s. After that block moves towards right.
After t = 1 s

a2 2 m/s

So velocity at t = 2 s.
v = 2 m/s towards right.
67. Answer (3)
m = (10.0 0.1) kg
v = (5.0 0.2) m/s
p = mv = 50.0 kg/s
p = mv + vm
p = (0.1)(5) + 10(0.2)
p = 2.5
p p (50.0 2.5) kg m/s

(f (0))2 f(0) = 0
f(0) = 0 or f(0) = 1
Now substitute x = 0 in
f(x + y) + f(x y) = 2f(x) f(y)

Given curve can be written as (y 2)2 = 4(x + 1)
Focus be (0, 2) and vertex (1, 2)
y
(0, 4)
(1, 2) y=4

(1, 2) (0, 2)

x
(0, 0)

If any ray is coming parallel to axis of parabola then after it get reflected it passes through the focus, therefore
equation of reflected ray be x = 0
13. Answer (1)
sin4x + (a + 2)sin2x (a + 3) = 0
[sin2x + (a + 3)](sin2x 1) = 0
sin2x = 1 or sin2x = (a + 3)
So the equation possesses a solution of all values of a.

f(x)(1 x)1 = b0 + b1x + b2x2 + ...
f(x)(1 + x + x2 + ...) = b0 + b1x + b2x2 + ...
coefficient of xn = a0 + a1 + a2 + ... + an = bn
and coefficient of

bn bn 1 = an
also b0 = a0 and b1 = a0 + a1
a1 = 2

(a) Hypothalamus serves as control centre for sympathetic neural system.
(b) Na+ K+ pumps expel 3Na+ in exchange of 2K+.
(c) Photoreceptors (e.g rods) are continously receiving in Na+ ions in outer segment & pumping out Na+ from
inner segment keeping the membrane depolarised. The Na+ gate in outer segment is guarded by (cGMP
that is destroyed when cis retinal converts to trans retinal, the closure of gate stops Na+ influx into outer
segment, but as Na+ efflux in inner segment is continously going on it hyperpolarises the membrane.
(d) Posterior pituitary is only release centre for hypothalmic hormones.

62. Answer (1)


f(x) is an odd function
f(0) = 0
f(x) is a periodic function with period 2 i.e. f(x + 2) = f(x), x
f(4) + f(8) = f(2 + 2) + f(2 + 6)
= f(2) + f(6)
= f(0) + f(2 + 4)
= f(0) + f(4)
= f(0) + f(0)
= f(0)
=0
63. Answer (4)
The unit digit of (1!)2 = 1
The unit digit of (2!)2 = 4
The unit digit of (3!)3 = 6
The unit digit of (4!)4 = 6
The unit digit of (5!)5 = 0
The unit digit of (6!)6 = 0
These the last digit of (7!)7, (8!)8, (9!)9, (10!)10, will be zero so the unit digit of the given expression 7
64. Answer (2)
Product of two positive quantities is maximum when quantities are equal therefore figure can be changed as
follows and R1 = R2 = R

R
C1 C2

D1 O D
1R
Now, OC22 = OD2 + DC22
(1 R)2 = R2 + R2

R 1 2 (Rejected)

R 1 2

Now, R 2 3 2 2 R1R2

Solubility is the concentration of salt in mol/L which is present in dissolve state in solution.
Compound having higher value of solubility will be more soluble
In Ag3PO4 Ksp = (3S)3 S = 27S4
S4 = 1016
S = 104 mol/L
Ag3PO4 has higher value of solubility

Insulin is a hormone, which increases the uptake of glucose inside the cell. So before meal glucose
concentration is less and after meal glucose concentration increases in the blood. So, insulin secretion is
increases after meal which increases the uptake of glucose inside cell.
