Let z = x + iy
|x + iy – 2| = 2|x + iy – 1|
 (x – 2)2 + y2 = 4((x – 1)2 + y2)

22. Answer (4)

|z – z1| + |z – z2| = k represents
Ellipse if |z1 – z2| < k
and a line segment joining z1 and z2 if |z1 – z2| = k
Hence |z – 2| + |(z – 2i)| = 2 2 represents straight line joining (2, 0) and (0, 2)
23. Answer (3)
(2 + i 0) (0 + 4i )
Clearly, |z – 2| + |z – 4i | is minimum when z lies on line segment joining (2 + i 0) and (0 + 4i), Hence minimum
value of |z – 2| + |z – 4i | is equal to 22  4 2 = 2 5
24. Answer (4)

As m, n, p, q, are consecutive integers then m, n, p, q will be of the form of 4, 4 + 1, 4 + 2, 4 + 3
(where  is positive integer) Hence i m + i n + i p + i q = 0
25. Answer (4)
|z – 3 + 2i |  3 ...(i)
|z – 3 + 2i |  ||z | – | 3 – 2i ||
 |z – 3 + 2i |  | z | – 13 ...(ii)
From (i) & (ii)
| z | – 13  3
 – 3  |z| – 13  3
13 – 3  | z |  3  13
Now, sum of least and greatest value

Given (1 + )x 2 – 2(1 + 3)x + (1 + 8) = 0
For roots to be equal
4(1 + 3)2 – 4(1 + )(1 + 8) = 0
1 + 92 + 6 – (1 + 8 +  + 82) = 0
2 – 3 = 0
( – 3) = 0
 = 0, 3
51. Answer (3)
Given equation is
(b + c – a)x 2 + (c + a – b)x + (a + b – c) = 0
Coefficient of x 2 + Coefficient of x + Constant term
=b+c–a+c+a–b+a+b–c
=a+b+c=0
ab–c
Hence, x = 1 is one root, and the other root is which is also rational.
bc–a
52. Answer (4)

a(b – c)x2 + b(c – a)x + c(a – b) = 0
Coefficient of x2 + Coefficient of x + Constant term
= a(b – c) + b(c – a) + c(a – b)
=0
c (a – b )
Hence x = 1 is one root and the other root is .
a(b – c )
As roots are equal,
c (a – b )
Therefore a(b – c )  1
 c(a – b) = a(b – c)
ac – bc = ab – ac
 2ac = ab + bc

53. Answer (3)
Given, x 2 – 2px + q = 0 has equal roots
i.e., 4p 2 – 4q = 0
p2 – q = 0 …(i)
Roots of (1 + y)x 2 – 2(p + y)x + (q + y) = 0 are real and unequal
 4(p + y)2 – 4(1 + y)(q + y) > 0
 (p + y)2 – (1 + y)(q + y) > 0
 –y(p – 1)2 > 0
Clearly, y < 0.
54. Answer (2)
x 2 + 3|x| – 28 = 0
|x|2 + 3|x| – 28 = 0
(|x| + 7)(|x| – 4) = 0
|x| = 4 as |x|  –7
x = ±4
So product of roots = –16
55. Answer (2)

57. Answer (2)

(a 3 + 1)x 2 + (a 2 – 1)x + (a 2 + 9a + 8) = 0 is an identity

60. Answer (4)
x 2 – 2bx + c = 0
D = 4b 2 – 4c = 4(b 2 – c)
As D < 0, hence x 2 – 2bx + c > 0 xR.
Now f(0) > 0
 c>0
61. Answer (1)
f (x) = ax 2 – 2bx + c
D = 4b 2 – 4ac
= 4(b 2 – ac)
 D<0
Now f(–2) = 4a + 4b + c < 0
 f (–1) < 0
a + 2b + c < 0
62. Answer (2)
Let f(x) = ax 3 + 2bx 2 + cx
f(–1) = –a + 2b – c
=0
Also f(0) = 0
So, f (x) = 3ax 2 + 4bx + c has at least one root in interval (–1, 0)
63. Answer (4)
For roots to be real,
D  0  4a 2 – 4(a 2 + a – 3)  0
3–a0
a3 …(i)
Also, f(1) > 0
 1 – 2a + a 2 + a – 3 > 0
a2 – a – 2 > 0
 (a – 2)(a + 1) > 0  a(–, –1)  (2, ) …(ii)

As D > 0, there will be two real roots
68. Answer (3)
As A.M  G.M
 9 is A.M. and 4 is G.M. of two positive numbers a and b
Clearly,
a + b = 18 and ab = 16
Hence quadratic equation is x 2 – 18x + 16 = 0
69. Answer (2)
x 2 – 2px + p 2 – 4 = 0

207. Answer (2)

Since 4 does not occur in 1000, we have to count the no. of times 4 occur when we list the integers from
1 to 999. Any number between 1 and 999 is of the form xyz where 0  x, y, z.  9
4 can occur at one place in 3C1 ways
 there are 3 × 9 × 9 = 243 number
4 can occur in exactly two places in 3 × 9 = 27 numbers
4 can occur in all three digits in one number
Hence, the number of times 4 occurs = 243 × 1 + 27 × 2 + 1 × 3 = 300

( 3 or 5 will be selected or not selected by 2 × 2 ways)
211. Answer (3)
Clearly 7r (r = 1.2, 3, ...) ends in 7, 9, 3, or 1
[corresponding for r = 1, 2, 3, 4 respectively]
7m + 7n is divisible by 5 if it ends with ‘zero’. For 7m + 7n to end in zero, the form of m and n should be as
follows
S. No. m n
1 4r 4s + 2
2 4r + 1 4s + 3
3 4r + 2 4s
4 4r + 3 4s + 1
Thus for a given values of m, there are just 25 values of n for which 7m + 7n ends in zero
(Ex. if m = 4r, then n = 2, 6, 10 ...98)
 there are 100 × 25 = 2500 ordered pair.
212. Answer (3)
The total no. of triangles, including the triangles formed by collinear points on AB, BC and CA is = 12C = 220
3
This includes the number of triangles formed by 3 points on AB ie 3C = 1, 4 point on BC = 4C = 4 and 5
3 3
points on BC = 5C3 = 10
Hence Required number of triangle = 220 – 1 – 4 – 10 = 205

217. Answer (4)
If two A are in 2nd row
No. of ways = 1 × 3 × 4 × 5 = 60
If two A are in 3rd row
No. of ways = 2 × 3 × 4 × 5 = 120

If two A are in 4th row
No. of ways = 2 × 3 × 6 × 5 = 180
If two A are in 5th row
No. of ways = 2 × 3 × 4 × 10 = 240
Total no. of ways = 600

259. Answer (1)

Let the 3 consecutive terms be rth, (r + 1)th, (r + 2)th terms. Their coefficient in the expansion of (1 + x)n are
nC n n
r – 1, Cr and Cr + 1.
 nC
r–1 : nCr : nCr + 1 = 1 : 7 : 42
1 ⎡ Cr n  r  1⎤
n n
Cr 1 1 r
Now,  ⇒  ⎢n  ⎥

n – 8r + 1 = 0 ...(i)

And,  ⇒  ⎢ n  ⎥
n
Cr 1 42 nr 6 ⎣⎢ Cr r  1 ⎦⎥
n – 7r – 6 = 0 ...(ii)
Solving (i) & (ii), we get
r = 7 and n = 55
260. Answer (1)
6n – 5n = (1 + 5)n – 5n
= [nC0 + nC1 × 5 + nC252 + nC353 + ..... + nCn(5)n]–5n
6n – 5n – 1 = 52(nC2 + nC3S + nC4S2 ...... nCn5n – 2]
= 25 × integer
 6n – 5n leaves the remainder 1 when divided by 25.
