- A two-digit number is formed using the digits 2, 3 and 5 without repetition. The probability that the number is divisible by 5 is Answer: B. 1/3 S = \23, 25, 32, 35, 52, 53\ , n(S) = 6 . Divisible by 5: 25 and 35. P = 2/6 = 1/3 . 1
- Which of the following is a quadratic equation? Answer: B. x² + 2x + 11 = 0 A quadratic equation has degree 2. (x+2)² = x² + 5 simplifies to 4x - 1 = 0 , which is linear; x³ - x² + 3 = 0 h... 1
- Which of the following is a root of \(x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0\)? Answer: B. 2 x² - 5x + 6 = (x - 2)(x - 3) , so the roots are 2 and 3. Only 2 is among the options. 1
- The value of the discriminant of \(2x^2 - 5x + 1 = 0\) is Answer: D. 17 b² - 4ac = (-5)² - 4(2)(1) = 25 - 8 = 17 . 1
- The sum of the roots of \(x^2 - 7x + 12 = 0\) is Answer: A. 7 Sum of roots = -b/a = --7/1 = 7 . 1
- If one root of \(x^2 + kx - 6 = 0\) is 2, then \(k = \) Answer: C. 1 Substitute x = 2 : 4 + 2k - 6 = 0 ⇒ 2k = 2 ⇒ k = 1 . 1
- The nature of the roots of \(x^2 + 4x + 4 = 0\) is Answer: A. real and equal Δ = 4² - 4(1)(4) = 0 , so the roots are real and equal (both are -2 ). 1
- The quadratic equation whose roots are 3 and \(-5\) is Answer: B. x² + 2x - 15 = 0 Sum = 3 + (-5) = -2 , product = -15 . The equation is x² - (sum)x + product = 0 , i.e. x² + 2x - 15 = 0 . 1
- The product of the roots of \(3x^2 + 7x - 6 = 0\) is Answer: B. -2 Product of roots = c/a = -6/3 = -2 . 1
- If the roots of \(x^2 - 6x + k = 0\) are real and equal, then \(k = \) Answer: C. 9 Real and equal roots need Δ = 0 : 36 - 4k = 0 ⇒ k = 9 . 1
- If \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) are the roots of \(x^2 - 5x + 3 = 0\), then \(\alpha^2 + \beta^2 = \) Answer: D. 19 α + β = 5 , αβ = 3 . α² + β² = (α + β)² - 2αβ = 25 - 6 = 19 . 1
- The value of the determinant \(\begin{vmatrix} 5 & 3 \\ -7 & -4 \end{vmatrix}\) is Answer: D. 1 5×(-4) - 3×(-7) = -20 + 21 = 1 . 1
- For the equation \(4x + 5y = 19\), if \(x = 1\) then \(y = \) Answer: A. 3 4(1) + 5y = 19 ⇒ 5y = 15 ⇒ y = 3 . 1
- While solving simultaneous equations by Cramer's rule, if \(D_x = 24\) and \(x = -3\), then \(D = \) Answer: C. -8 x = D_x/D ⇒ D = D_x/x = 24/-3 = -8 . 1
- The solution of the simultaneous equations \(x + y = 5\) and \(x - y = 1\) is Answer: C. (3, 2) Adding, 2x = 6 , so x = 3 ; then y = 5 - 3 = 2 . 1
- Which of the following is a linear equation in two variables? Answer: D. 2x - 3y = 7 In 2x - 3y = 7 both variables have degree 1. The others contain x² , xy or y² , which have degree 2. 1
- For the equations \(3x + 2y = 8\) and \(2x - y = 3\), the value of \(D\) is Answer: C. -7 D = beginvmatrix 3 & 2 \\ 2 & -1 endvmatrix = 3(-1) - 2(2) = -3 - 4 = -7 . 1
- If \(2x + 3y = 12\) and \(3x + 2y = 13\), then \(x + y = \) Answer: B. 5 Adding the equations: 5x + 5y = 25 , so x + y = 5 . 1
