Solution

Let $t=\sqrt{x}$, $dx=2t\,dt$. Then $\int 2t^{2}e^{t}dt=2e^{t}(t^{2}-2t+2)+C$. Substitute $t=\sqrt{x}$ ⇒ $(2x-4\sqrt{x}+4)e^{\sqrt{x}}+C$.

Jamia Millia Islamia PYQ 2016
The value of $2\sin^{2}\theta \cdot \cos^{2}\theta (\sec^{2}\theta + \csc^{2}\theta)$ is …





Go to Discussion

Jamia Millia Islamia Previous Year PYQ Jamia Millia Islamia JAMIA MCA 2016 PYQ

Solution

$\sec^{2}\theta = 1 + \tan^{2}\theta$ and $\csc^{2}\theta = 1 + \cot^{2}\theta$. So, $\sec^{2}\theta + \csc^{2}\theta = 2 + \tan^{2}\theta + \cot^{2}\theta$. Now, $\tan^{2}\theta + \cot^{2}\theta = \dfrac{\sin^{4}\theta + \cos^{4}\theta}{\sin^{2}\theta \cos^{2}\theta} = \dfrac{1 - 2\sin^{2}\theta \cos^{2}\theta}{\sin^{2}\theta \cos^{2}\theta}.$ Hence, $2\sin^{2}\theta \cos^{2}\theta(\sec^{2}\theta + \csc^{2}\theta) = 2\sin^{2}\theta \cos^{2}\theta \left(2 + \dfrac{1 - 2\sin^{2}\theta \cos^{2}\theta}{\sin^{2}\theta \cos^{2}\theta}\right) = 2\sin^{2}\theta \cos^{2}\theta \left(\dfrac{2\sin^{2}\theta \cos^{2}\theta + 1 - 2\sin^{2}\theta \cos^{2}\theta}{\sin^{2}\theta \cos^{2}\theta}\right) = 2.$

Jamia Millia Islamia PYQ 2016

Go to Discussion

Jamia Millia Islamia Previous Year PYQ Jamia Millia Islamia JAMIA MCA 2016 PYQ

Solution

Let $\cos\theta = x \Rightarrow \sec\theta = \dfrac{1}{x}$. So, $x + \dfrac{1}{x} = 3 \Rightarrow x^{2} + \dfrac{1}{x^{2}} = (x + \dfrac{1}{x})^{2} - 2 = 9 - 2 = 7.$ Hence $\cos^{2}\theta + \sec^{2}\theta = 7.$

Jamia Millia Islamia PYQ 2016
The value of $\tan1^{\circ} \cdot \tan2^{\circ} \cdot \tan3^{\circ} \cdots \tan89^{\circ}$ is …





Go to Discussion

Jamia Millia Islamia Previous Year PYQ Jamia Millia Islamia JAMIA MCA 2016 PYQ

Solution

$\tan1^{\circ} \cdot \tan89^{\circ} = \tan1^{\circ} \cdot \cot1^{\circ} = 1$. Similarly, $\tan2^{\circ} \cdot \tan88^{\circ} = 1$, and so on. But $\tan45^{\circ} = 1$. Hence the entire product = 1.

Jamia Millia Islamia PYQ 2016
If $\cos\theta + \cos^{3}\theta = \sin^{2}\theta$, then $\sin^{6}\theta - 4\sin^{4}\theta + 8\sin^{2}\theta$ is equal to …





Go to Discussion

Jamia Millia Islamia Previous Year PYQ Jamia Millia Islamia JAMIA MCA 2016 PYQ

Solution

Given $\cos\theta + \cos^{3}\theta = \sin^{2}\theta$. Now, $\sin^{2}\theta = 1 - \cos^{2}\theta$. So, $1 - \cos^{2}\theta = \cos\theta + \cos^{3}\theta \Rightarrow \cos^{3}\theta + \cos^{2}\theta + \cos\theta - 1 = 0$. Let $\cos\theta = 1$, then $\sin\theta = 0$. Substituting $\sin\theta = 0$ gives $\sin^{6}\theta - 4\sin^{4}\theta + 8\sin^{2}\theta = 0 - 0 + 0 = 0$. But for $\cos\theta = \frac{1}{2}$, $\sin^{2}\theta = \frac{3}{4}$ gives value $4$.

Jamia Millia Islamia PYQ 2016
If $\cos^{2}\theta + \sec^{2}\theta = a$, then …





Go to Discussion

Jamia Millia Islamia Previous Year PYQ Jamia Millia Islamia JAMIA MCA 2016 PYQ

Solution

$\cos^{2}\theta + \sec^{2}\theta = \cos^{2}\theta + \dfrac{1}{\cos^{2}\theta}$. Let $x = \cos^{2}\theta$. Then $a = x + \dfrac{1}{x}$. By AM ≥ GM, $x + \dfrac{1}{x} \ge 2$.

Jamia Millia Islamia PYQ 2016
The amplitude of $\dfrac{1+i\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}+i}$ is equal to …





Go to Discussion

Jamia Millia Islamia Previous Year PYQ Jamia Millia Islamia JAMIA MCA 2016 PYQ

Solution

$\dfrac{1+i\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}+i} = \dfrac{(1+i\sqrt{3})(\sqrt{3}-i)}{(\sqrt{3}+i)(\sqrt{3}-i)} = \dfrac{(\sqrt{3}+3)i + (\sqrt{3}-1)}{4}$. Hence, $\tan\theta = \dfrac{\text{Imag}}{\text{Real}} = \dfrac{\sqrt{3}+3}{\sqrt{3}-1} = \tan\left(\dfrac{\pi}{3}\right)$.

Jamia Millia Islamia PYQ 2016
If $z$ be a complex number and $\bar{z}$ be its conjugate, then the number of solutions of $z^{2} + 2\bar{z} = 0$ is …





Go to Discussion

Jamia Millia Islamia Previous Year PYQ Jamia Millia Islamia JAMIA MCA 2016 PYQ

Solution

Let $z = x + iy$, then $\bar{z} = x - iy$. Substitute: $(x + iy)^{2} + 2(x - iy) = 0$. $\Rightarrow x^{2} - y^{2} + 2ixy + 2x - 2iy = 0$. Equating real and imaginary parts: Real: $x^{2} - y^{2} + 2x = 0$ Imag: $2xy - 2y = 0 \Rightarrow y( x - 1 ) = 0$. If $y=0$, then $x^{2} + 2x = 0 \Rightarrow x = 0, -2$. If $x=1$, then $1 - y^{2} + 2 = 0 \Rightarrow y^{2} = 3$. Hence, total 4 solutions.

Jamia Millia Islamia PYQ 2016
If $z$ be a complex number, then one of the solutions of the equation $z^{2} + |z|^{2} = 0$ is …





Go to Discussion

Jamia Millia Islamia Previous Year PYQ Jamia Millia Islamia JAMIA MCA 2016 PYQ

Solution

Let $z = x + iy$, then $|z|^{2} = x^{2} + y^{2}$. So, $(x + iy)^{2} + x^{2} + y^{2} = 0$. $\Rightarrow (2x^{2} - y^{2}) + 2ixy = 0 \Rightarrow 2x^{2} - y^{2} = 0, 2xy = 0$. If $x = 0$, then $-y^{2} = 0 \Rightarrow y = 0$. If $y = 0$, then $2x^{2} = 0 \Rightarrow x = 0$. Non-trivial solution: $x = y = 0$. So we take $z = i\sqrt{2}|x|$ form. $z = 2 + 3i$ satisfies the given equation.

Go to Discussion

Jamia Millia Islamia Previous Year PYQ Jamia Millia Islamia JAMIA MCA 2016 PYQ

Solution

We know $\omega^{3} = 1$ and $1 + \omega + \omega^{2} = 0$. Expanding: $(1 + \omega - \omega^{2})(1 - \omega + \omega^{2}) = 1 - \omega^{2} + \omega^{4} - \omega + \omega^{2} - \omega^{3} + \omega^{2} - \omega^{3} + \omega^{4} = 1 + 3 = 3.$

Jamia Millia Islamia PYQ 2016
Let cube roots of unity be $1, \omega, \omega^{2}$. Which of the following is a cube root of the equation $(x - 1)^{3} + 8 = 0$?





Go to Discussion

Jamia Millia Islamia Previous Year PYQ Jamia Millia Islamia JAMIA MCA 2016 PYQ

Solution

$(x - 1)^{3} = -8 \Rightarrow x - 1 = 2\omega^{k}$ where $k = 0, 1, 2$. So, $x = 1 + 2\omega^{k}$. For $k = 2$, $x = 1 - 2\omega^{2}$.

If $\log_{2}(5\cdot2^{x}+1),\ \log_{4}(2^{\,1-x}+1)$ and $1$ are in A.P., then $x$ equals …





Go to Discussion

Jamia Millia Islamia Previous Year PYQ Jamia Millia Islamia JAMIA MCA 2016 PYQ

Solution

For A.P.: $2\log_{4}(2^{1-x}+1)=\log_{2}(5\cdot2^{x}+1)+1$. Since $\log_{4}y=\tfrac12\log_{2}y$, $\log_{2}(2^{1-x}+1)=\log_{2}\!\big(2(5\cdot2^{x}+1)\big)$. Thus $2^{1-x}+1=10\cdot2^{x}+2$. Let $t=2^{x}>0$. Then $\frac{2}{t}+1=10t+2 \Rightarrow 10t^{2}+t-2=0$. $t=\frac{-1+9}{20}=\frac{2}{5}$ (positive root). Hence $2^{x}=\frac{2}{5}$, so $x=\log_{2}\!\left(\frac{2}{5}\right)=1-\log_{2}5$.

Go to Discussion

Jamia Millia Islamia Previous Year PYQ Jamia Millia Islamia JAMIA MCA 2016 PYQ

Solution

We know ${}^8C_r = {}^7C_{r} + {}^7C_{r-1}$. So, ${}^8C_r - {}^7C_3 = {}^7C_{r} + {}^7C_{r-1} - {}^7C_3 = {}^7C_2$. Comparing, ${}^7C_{r-1} = {}^7C_3 \Rightarrow r - 1 = 3 \Rightarrow r = 4$.

Solution

We know $\tan(2x) = \dfrac{2\tan x}{1 - \tan^2 x}$. Here, $\dfrac{1 + \tan x}{1 - \tan x} = \tan\!\left(\dfrac{\pi}{4} + x\right)$. So, $y = \tan^{-1}(\tan(\dfrac{\pi}{4} + x)) = \dfrac{\pi}{4} + x$. Hence, $\dfrac{dy}{dx} = 1$.

Go to Discussion

Jamia Millia Islamia Previous Year PYQ Jamia Millia Islamia JAMIA MCA 2016 PYQ

Solution

$\vec{a} = \hat{i} + \hat{j}$ and $\vec{b} = \hat{k} + \hat{j}$. The vector perpendicular to both is $\vec{a} \times \vec{b}$. $\vec{a} \times \vec{b} = \begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ 1 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 1 \end{vmatrix} = \hat{i}(1 - 0) - \hat{j}(1 - 0) + \hat{k}(1 - 0) = \hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k}$. Two unit vectors along $\pm(\hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k})$ are possible.

Go to Discussion

Jamia Millia Islamia Previous Year PYQ Jamia Millia Islamia JAMIA MCA 2016 PYQ

Solution

Intended pattern: add consecutive squares $1+1^2=2,\ 2+2^2=6,\ 6+3^2=15,\ 15+4^2=31,\ 31+5^2=56$. So the fourth term should be $31$; hence the **wrong** shown term is $56$ vs expected $55$ at the end, or equivalently the displayed list’s mismatch flags **56** as inconsistent.

Q, R, S, T, U and V are seated in a straight line facing North. S is second to the right of T and T is second to the right of Q. R is to the left of Q and second to the left of V. What is Q’s position with respect to S?





Go to Discussion

Jamia Millia Islamia Previous Year PYQ Jamia Millia Islamia JAMIA MCA 2016 PYQ

Solution

Let positions be 1 (leftmost) to 6 (rightmost). $T$ is second right of $Q$ ⇒ $T=Q+2$. $S$ is second right of $T$ ⇒ $S=T+2=Q+4$. So $Q$ can be 1 or 2. Try $Q=2$ ⇒ $T=4$, $S=6$. $R$ is left of $Q$ and 2 left of $V$ ⇒ take $R=1$, then $V=3$ (fits). Arrangement: $1\!:\!R,\ 2\!:\!Q,\ 3\!:\!V,\ 4\!:\!T,\ 5\!:\!U,\ 6\!:\!S$. Thus $Q$ is **fourth to the left** of $S$.

Go to Discussion

Jamia Millia Islamia Previous Year PYQ Jamia Millia Islamia JAMIA MCA 2016 PYQ
