1. If  >  > 0 then  +   +   +   + . is

a. Independent of m b. Independent of n
c. Independent of m & n both d. Dependent on both m & n

Sol: [b]

Let ) =  +   +   +   + .

x-mx+n=0, thus x=a only since x cant be -n a negative, so it is independent of n

2. For real x, what is the range of

7 8 9:;7<=
7 8 9>7<?
a. Positive Real b. Non negative Real
c. Negative Real d. All Real Numbers
Ans: [d]
3. If "a" and "b" are the roots of equation ) > +  2) +  + 3 = 0 then what would be
minimum value of G> + H >
a. - 15 b. -11 c. -7 d. NoT

Sol: [b]
mina^2 + b^2 = mina+b^2 - 2ab = minm-2^2 - 2m+3 = -11

4. If ) = 2O + 2O then
N 8

a. x^2 - 4x + 6=0 b. x^3 + 6x -6=0

c. x^3 + 6x + 6 =0 d. x^3 - 6x - 6 =0

Ans : [d]

5. What would be sum of all possible values of x, if ) > 10) 3|) 5| + 27 = 0

a. 0 b. -20 c. 20 d. NoT

Sol: [c]
) > 10) 3|) 5| + 27 = 0, ) > 10) + 25 3|) 5| + 2 = 0
|) 5|> 3|) 5| + 2 = 0, |) 5| 1|) 5| 2 = 0
|x-5|=1 or 2 , x= 4,6, 3 & 7 then sum of all possible x is 4 + 6 + 3 + 7 =20

6. For real values a, b & c if a+b+c=0 then roots of equation

 a + b - cx^2 +  a - b + c x +  -a + b + c=0
a. Imaginary b. Irrational c. Rational d. Equal

Sol: [c]
T = G H + U> 4G + H UG + H + U
= G + H + U 2H> 4G + H + U 2UG + H + U 2G
= 4H > 4GU = 4 G U> 4GU = 4G U> = VWXYWUZ [\]GXW

7. For how many values of "x" there is an isosceles triangle with sides 3x-5, x+3 , 7-x
a. 0 b. 1 c. 2 d. 3

Sol: [c]
Sides are 3x-5, x+3 , 9-x,
If 3x-5= x+3 , x=4 then sides are 4,4,5
If 3x-5= 7-x , x=3 then sides are 4,6,4 triangle not possible
If x+3= 7-x , x=2 then sides are 1,6,5
So only 2 values are possible for x

8. If roots of x^2 + mx + n =0 is 2 more than roots of x^2 + nx + m =0 then m+n=?

a. 4 b. 2 c. -2 d.-4
Sol: [d]
For getting equation whose roots are 2 more than roots of x^2 + nx + m =0 , we put
x=x-2 in equation, so we get
x-2^2 + nx-2 + m =0 x^2 + n-4x + 4 -2n+m = 0 which is same as given
equation x^2 + mx + n =0
So, x^2 + n-4x + 4 -2n+m = x^2 + mx + n
So, n-4 = m & 4 -2n+m = n , so, m=0, n=-4 so, m+n = -4

9. For how many natural numbers "n" less than equal to 50 is an integer
:8 9 >8 9?8 99a8
:9>9?99a
a. 15 b. 16 c. 17 d. NoT Based on an old Question

Sol: [c]
2 + 1
1? + 2? + 3? + + ?   + 1 6 1
=d h = 2 + 1
1 + 2 + 3 + +  +1 3
f 2 g
Say , ? 2 + 1 = i G jZWkWXThen  = >
: ?l<:

So, 1 50 3 3i 101 , 1 i 33 , so there are total 16 possible values of

?l<:
>
n , since K should be odd.

10. What would be sum of all coefficient excluding constant term of x+7x+5x+3....x-
3x-5x-7
a. 0 b. -11025 c. -14400 d. NoT

Sol: [b]
For sum of all coefficients including constant, put x=1 , and we get 0
For constant term put x=0 , so we get 11025 as constant term ,
So sum of all coefficient excluding constant term = - 11025

11. Sum of imaginary roots of 4x^3 - 12x^2 + 9x -27 =0 lies in the close interval of
a. [-12,-3] b. [-2,2] c. [3,5] d. [6,12] e. NoT

Ans: [0]; its 0. roots are 3,

12. If ? = = = then s9w =?

r r9s s9u r9s9u9w r9u
t v :>
a. 1/2 b. 7/5 c. 5/7 d. 2 e. NoT
Ans:
= = = = i , a=3k, b=2k, c=5k, d=2k
r r9s s9u r9s9u9w
? t v :>

13. If a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 11 , ab + bc + ca = 35 then a+b+c^3 = ?

a. 729 b. 1331 c. 1000 d. Can't be determined e. NoT

Ans: [d], CBD, since a+b+c= 9, so a+b+c=729
