51. Answer (3)

Given equation is
(b + c a)x 2 + (c + a b)x + (a + b c) = 0
Coefficient of x2 + Coefficient of x + Constant term
=b+ca+c+ab+a+bc
=a+b+c=0
Hence, x = 1 is one root, and the other root is
abc
which is also rational.
bca
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
Hence x = 1 is one root and the other root is
c (a b )
.
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

53. Answer (3)
Given, x 2 2px + q = 0 has equal roots

(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 2bx + c = 0
D = 4b 2 4c = 4(b 2 c)
As D < 0, hence x 2 2bx + c > 0 xR.
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)

x 2 (m 4)x (m 1) 0
Let, be the roots

Now y = 2 +2
= ( + )2 2
= (m 4)2 2(m 1)

Let a = , b = 2
Now, 2008 + 2009 = + 2 = 1
and
2008 2009 = 4017 = 1
Hence, required quadratic equation is

x2 x + 1 = 0
80. Answer (2)
x2 + mx + 10 = 0
Let , be the roots

(1)
2S = 1.2 + 2.22 + 3.23 + ... + 999 2999 + 2000.21000
(2)
On subtracting (2) from (1) we get,

S = 1 + 2 + 22 + 23 + ...+2999 1000.21000
S = 1000 .21000 (1 + 2 + 22 + 23 + ... + 2999)

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

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

4r

4r + 1
3
4r + 2
4
4r + 3
n
4s + 2
4s + 3
4s
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.

Let the order of B is m n
If AB is defined then number of columns of A = number of rows of B
3=m
Similarly if BA is defined then n = 4
Hence the order of A is m n = 3 4
280. Answer (1)
If A is symmetric then A = A
...(i)
If A is skew symmetric then A = A
...(ii)
Adding (i) and (ii) equations
2A = 0
A=0
A is null matrix
281. Answer (2)
AB = A
...(i)
BA = B
...(ii)
for involutory matrix or idempotent matrix we have to find A2.
A2 = (AB)A, by (i)
= A (BA), by associative law
= AB, by (ii)
= A, by (i)
2
A =A
...(iii)
again B2 = (BA)B, by (ii)
= B(AB), by associative law
= BA by (i)
= B by (ii)
...(iv)
B2 = B

by (iii) and (iv) A = A, B = B
Hence A and B are idempotent matrices.

y = ( 1)n |M I|
y=y
y=0
288. Answer (4)
The unit matrix cannot be nilpotent matrix

...(iv) where m is a positive integer
Equations (i), (ii) and (iii) are satisfied if A = I, But at A = I, the equation (iv) is not satisfied.
289. Answer (1)
The trace of a skew symmetric matrix of odd order is zero. Also the determinant of odd ordered skew
symmetric matrix is zero.
Hence trace = determinant
290. Answer (3)
The sum of the products is zero.
If A is any determinants with elements represented by aij then a11A21 + a12 A22 + a13 A23 = 0
and a11 A31 + a12 A32 + a13 A33 = 0, similarly other equations can be written Aij = cofactor of aij
