    \ Statement is false.

    MCQ' WITHONE CORRECTANSWER:s

    1. (a) Consider the functionf(x) = ax3+ bx2+ cxon [0, 1]then being a polynomial. It is continuous on [0, 1],differentiable on (0, 1) andf(0) =f(1) = 0 [as given a + b + c = 0]

    \ By Rolle's theorem (0,1)x$ such that

    2( ) 0 3 2 0f x ax bx c= + + =Thus equation 3ax2+ 2bx + c = 0 has at least one rootin [0, 1].

    3. (c) ( sin sin cos ) cosdx

    = - q + q + q q = q qq

    (1)

    (cos cos sin )dy

    ad

    = q - q + q qq

    a sin= q q (2)

    Dividing (2) by (1), we get

    tandy

    dx= q (slope of tangent)

    \ Slope of normal = cot q\ Equation of normal is

    y a (sin q qcos q) cos ( (cos sin ))sin

    x aq

    = - - q + q qq

    ysin qasin2q+ asin qcos q= x cos q+ acos2q+ a qsin qcos q

    xcos q+y sin q=aAs qvaries inclination is not constant.

    \ (a) is not correct.Clearly does not pass through (0, 0).

    It's distance from origin =2 2cos sin

    aa=

    q + qwhich is constant

    4. (b) y = alnx+ bx2+xhas its extremum values atx= 1 and 2

    \ 0dy

    dx = atx= 1 and 2

    has 1 and 2 as its roots.\ 2b 1 + a= 0 (1)

    8b+ 2 + a= 0 (2)Solving (1) and (2) we get a= 2, b= 1/2.

    5. (d) Fory2= 4ax,y-axis is tangent at (0, 0), while forx2= 4ay, x-axis is tangent at (0, 0). Thus the two curvescut each other at right angles.

    6. (d) ( ) ( 2) ( 1) 0x xf x x e x e- -= - + = - + =

    x = 1For ( , 1), ( ) 0x f x - - > and for

    Also atx= 0,y = 0, atx= 1,y= 0, and

    atx= 1/4,y> 0

    \ Max. value ofyoccurs atx = 1/49. (a) Slope of tangent at (x,f(x)) is 2x+ 1

    f ' (x) = 2x+ 1 f(x) =x2+x+ cAlso the curve passes through (1, 2)

    \ f (1) = 2 2 = 1 + 1 + c c= 0, \f(x) =x2+x

    sinx= 1 x= np+ (1)np/2, nZ x= p/2, 3p/2which belong to the interval [2p, 2p]Thus the points on curve at which tangets are parallel togiven line are (p/2, 0) and ( 3p/2, 0)The equation of tangent at (p/2, 0) is
