Solution set of inequality ${\log _{10}}({x^2} - 2x - 2) \le 0$ is
- A
$[ - 1,\,1 - \sqrt 3 ]$
- B
$[1 + \sqrt 3 ,3]$
- ✓
$[ - 1,\,1 - \sqrt 3 ) \cup (1 + \sqrt 3 \,,\,3]$

AnswerCorrect option: C. $[ - 1,\,1 - \sqrt 3 ) \cup (1 + \sqrt 3 \,,\,3]$
c
(c) ${\log _{10}}({x^2} - 2x - 2) \le 0$…..$(i)$
For logarithm to be defined,
${x^2} - 2x - 2 > 0$
$ \Rightarrow $ ${(x - 1)^2} > 3$
==> $x - 1 < - \sqrt 3 $ or$x - 1 > \sqrt 3 $
==> $x < 1 - \sqrt 3 $ or $x > 1 + \sqrt 3 $
i.e., $x < - (\sqrt 3 - 1)$ or $x > (\sqrt 3 + 1)$
Now from $(i),$ ${x^2} - 2x - 2 \le 1$
==> ${x^2} - 2x - 3 \le 0$
==> $(x - 3)\,(x + 1) \le 0$ $ \Rightarrow $ $ - 1 \le x \le 3$
$\therefore $ $x \in [ - 1,\, - (\sqrt 3 - 1)\,[\, \cup \,]\,\,\sqrt 3 + 1,\,3]$.
i.e., $x \in [ - 1,\,1 - \sqrt 3 )\,\, \cup (1 + \sqrt 3 ,\,3)$.

If $x = \sqrt[3]{{(\sqrt 2 + 1)}} - \sqrt[3]{{(\sqrt 2 - 1)}}$, then ${x^3} + 3x = $
Answera
(a) $x = {(\sqrt 2 + 1)^{1/3}} - {(\sqrt 2 - 1)^{1/3}}$
${x^3} = (\sqrt 2 + 1) - (\sqrt 2 - 1) - 3{(\sqrt 2 + 1)^{1/3}}\,{(\sqrt 2 - 1)^{1/3}}$
$\,\left[ {\sqrt[3]{{(\sqrt 2 + 1)}}\, - \sqrt[3]{{\sqrt 2 - 1}}} \right]$
${x^3} = 2 - 3\,{(2 - 1)^{1/3\,}}x$ $ \Rightarrow {x^3} + 3x = 2$.

$\sqrt[3]{{(61 - 46\sqrt 5 )}} = $
- ✓
$1 - 2\sqrt 5 $
- B
$1 - \sqrt 5 $
- C
$2 - \sqrt 5 $
- D
AnswerCorrect option: A. $1 - 2\sqrt 5 $
a
(a) $\sqrt[3]{{61 - 46\sqrt 5 }} = a - \sqrt b $
==> $61 - 46\sqrt 5 = {(a - \sqrt b )^3} = {a^3} + 3ab - (3{a^2} + b)\sqrt b $
==> $61 = {a^3} + 3ab,\,46\sqrt 5 = (3{a^2} + b)\,\sqrt b $
==> $61 = ({a^2} + 3b)\,a$, $23\sqrt {20} = (3{a^2} + b)\sqrt b $
So,$a = 1,\,\,b = 20$.
Therefore, $\sqrt[3]{{61 - 46\sqrt 5 }} = 1 - \sqrt {20} = 1 - 2\sqrt 5 $.

$\frac{1}{2}[1 + \sqrt {(4a + 1)} ]$
- C
$\frac{1}{2}[1 - \sqrt {(4a - 1)} ]$
- D
$\frac{1}{2}[1 \pm \sqrt {(4a + 1)} ]$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $\frac{1}{2}[1 + \sqrt {(4a + 1)} ]$
b
(b) $x = \sqrt {a + \sqrt {a + \sqrt {a + .....\infty } } } $
$ \Rightarrow $$x = \sqrt {a + x} $$ \Rightarrow $${x^2} - x - a = 0$$ \Rightarrow $$x = \frac{{1 \pm \sqrt {1 + 4a} }}{2}$
As $a > 0$, $x > 0$; $\therefore $ $+ve$ sign should be considered.
$2B + C = - 1$ $x = \frac{1}{2}(1 + \sqrt {4a + 1} )$.

- A
$(12,1)$
- B
$(1, 12)$
- ✓
$(-1, 12)$
- D
$(-12, 1)$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $(-1, 12)$
c
(c) $\frac{{4 + 3\sqrt 3 }}{{\sqrt {7 + 4\sqrt 3 } }} = a + \sqrt b $
==> $\frac{{4 + 3\sqrt 3 }}{{2 + \sqrt 3 }} = a + \sqrt b $
==> $\frac{{(4 + 3\sqrt 3 )\,(2 - \sqrt 3 )}}{{(2 + \sqrt 3 )\,(2 - \sqrt 3 )}} = a + \sqrt b $
==> $ - 1 + 2\sqrt 3 = a + \sqrt b $
==> $ - 1 + \sqrt {12} = a + \sqrt b $; $\therefore $ $(a,\,b) = ( - 1,\,12)$.

If ${3^x} - {3^{x - 1}} = 6$, then ${x^x}$ is equal to
Answerb
(b) We have ${3^x} - {3^{x - 1}} = 6$
==> ${3^x} - \frac{{{3^x}}}{3} = 6$
Let ${3^x} = t$, then given equation can be written as
$t - \frac{t}{3} = 6$ ==> $3t - t = 18$ ==> $2t = 18$ ==> $t = 9$
$\therefore$ ${3^x} = {3^2}$ ==> $x = 2$.
Hence, ${x^x} = {2^2} = 4$.

$2$, if $1 \le x \le 2$
- B
$2$, if $x > 2$
- C
$2\sqrt {(x - 1)} $, if $1 \le x \le 2$
- ✓
$2\sqrt {(x - 1)} $, if $x > 2$
AnswerCorrect option: D. $2\sqrt {(x - 1)} $, if $x > 2$
d
(d) $x - 1 \ge 0 \Rightarrow x \ge 1$
Next, $x \pm 2\sqrt {x - 1} \ge 0$
==> ${x^2} \ge 4(x - 1) \Rightarrow {x^2} - 4x + 4 \ge 0 \Rightarrow {(x - 2)^2} \ge 0$,
which is true $\forall \,\,x$, $\therefore x \ge 1$.
For $1 \le x \le 2$, $\sqrt {x + 2\sqrt {x - 1} } + \sqrt {x - 2\sqrt {x - 1} } $
= $\sqrt {1 + (x - 1) + 2\sqrt {x - 1} } + \sqrt {1 + (x - 1) - 2\sqrt {x - 1} } $
= $(1 + \sqrt {x - 1} ) + (1 - \sqrt {x - 1} ) = 2$
For $x > 2$, $\sqrt {x + 2\sqrt {x - 1} } + \sqrt {x - 2\sqrt {x - 1} } $
= $(1 + \sqrt {x - 1} ) + (\sqrt {x - 1} - 1) = 2\sqrt {x - 1} $.

The number of solution pairs $(x, y)$ of the simultaneous equations $\log _{1 / 3}(x+y)+\log _3(x-y)=2$ $2^{y^2}=512^{x+1}$ is
Answerb
(b)
We have,
$\log _{1 / 3}(x+y)+\log _3(x-y)=2$
$2 y^2=512^{x+1}$
$\Rightarrow \log _{3^{-1}}(x+y)+\log _3(x-y)=2$
$\Rightarrow-\log _3(x+y)+\log _3(x-y)=2$
$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{x-y}{x+y}=3^2=9$
$\Rightarrow \quad x-y=9 x+9 y$
$\Rightarrow \quad-8 x=10 y \Rightarrow-4 x=5 y$
and $\quad 2^{y^2}=2^{9(x+1)}$
$\Rightarrow \quad y^2=9(x+1)$
$\begin{array}{cc}\Rightarrow & 16 x^2=225 x+225 \\ \Rightarrow & 16 x^2-225 x-225=0 \\ \Rightarrow & (16 x+15)(x-15)=0 \\ \Rightarrow & x=15,-\frac{15}{16}\end{array}$
$x=-\frac{15}{16}, y=\frac{3}{4}$ (not possible)

The square root of $\frac{(0.75)^3}{1-(0.75)}+\left[0.75+(0.75)^2+1\right]$ is
Answerb
(b)
Let $x=0.75$
According to the question, $\frac{x^3}{1-x}+\left(x+x^2+1\right)$
$=\frac{x^3+(1-x)\left(1+x+x^2\right)}{1-x}$
$=\frac{x^3+1-x^3}{1-x}=\frac{1}{1-x}$
Now, put the value of $x$
$\frac{1}{1-0.75} =\frac{1}{0.25}$
$=\frac{100}{25}=4$
So, square root of the equation $=\sqrt{4}=2$

And $x+\frac{7}{2} \neq 1 \Rightarrow x \neq-\frac{5}{2}$
And $\frac{x-7}{2 x-3} \neq 0 \quad$ and $2 x-3 \neq 0$
$\Downarrow$
$x \neq 7$
$x \neq \frac{3}{2}$
Taking intersection : $x \in\left(\frac{-7}{2}, \infty\right)-\left\{-\frac{5}{2}, \frac{3}{2}, 7\right\}$
Now $\log _a b \geq 0$ if $a > 1$ and $b \geq 1$

$-\frac{7}{2} < x < \frac{-5}{2} \quad(x-7)^2<(2 x-3)^2$
$x \in(-\infty,-4) \cup\left(\frac{10}{3}, \infty\right)$
No common values of $x$.
Hence intersection with feasible region

The value of $6+\log _{\frac{3}{2}}\left(\frac{1}{3 \sqrt{2}} \sqrt{4-\frac{1}{3 \sqrt{2}} \sqrt{4-\frac{1}{3 \sqrt{2}} \sqrt{4-\frac{1}{3 \sqrt{2}} \ldots}}}\right)$ is
Answera
Let $\sqrt{4-\frac{1}{3 \sqrt{2}} \sqrt{4-\frac{1}{3 \sqrt{2}}}} \ldots \ldots . .= t$
$\sqrt{4-\frac{1}{3 \sqrt{2}} t}=t $
$4-\frac{1}{3 \sqrt{2}} t=t^2 \Rightarrow $
$t^2+\frac{1}{3 \sqrt{2}} t-4=0 \Rightarrow 3 \sqrt{2} t^2+t-12 \sqrt{2}=0 $
$t=\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1+4 \times 3 \sqrt{2} \times 12 \sqrt{2}}}{2 \times 3 \sqrt{2}}=\frac{-1 \pm 17}{2 \times 3 \sqrt{2}}$
$t=\frac{16}{6 \sqrt{2}}, \frac{-18}{6 \sqrt{2}}$
$t =\frac{8}{3 \sqrt{2}}, \frac{-3}{\sqrt{2}}$ and $\frac{-3}{\sqrt{2}}$ is rejected
$\text { so } 6+\log _{3 / 2}\left(\frac{1}{3 \sqrt{2}} \times \frac{8}{3 \sqrt{2}}\right)=6+\log _{3 / 2}\left(\frac{4}{9}\right)=6+\log _{3 / 2}\left(\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^2\right)=6-2=4$

Let $\left(x_0, y_0\right)$ be the solution of the following equations $(2 x)^{\ln 2} =(3 y)^{\ln 3}$ $3^{\ln x} =2^{\ln y}$ . Then $x_0$ is
- A
$\frac{1}{6}$
- B
$\frac{1}{3}$
- ✓
$\frac{1}{2}$
- D
$6$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $\frac{1}{2}$
c
$(2 x)^{\ln 2}=(3 y)^{\ln 3}$
Taking $\ln$ both sides,
$\Rightarrow(\ln 2)(\ln 2 x)=(\ln 3)(\ln 3 y)$
$\Rightarrow(\ln 2)(\ln 2+\ln x)=(\ln 3)(\ln 3+\ln y) \rightarrow(1)$
Now, we will take the second equation,
$3^{\ln x}=2^{\ln y}$
Taking $\ln$ both sides,
$\Rightarrow(\ln x)(\ln 3)=(\ln y)(\ln 2)$
$\Rightarrow(\ln y)=\frac{(\ln x)(\ln 3)}{\ln 2}$
Putting value of $\ln y$ in $(1)$,
$(\ln 2)(\ln 2+\ln x)=(\ln 3)\left(\ln 3+\frac{(\ln x)(\ln 3)}{\ln 2}\right)$
$\Rightarrow(\ln x)\left(\ln 2-\left(\frac{(\ln 3)^2}{\ln 2}\right)\right)=(\ln 3)^2-(\ln 2)^2$
$\Rightarrow \frac{\ln x}{\ln 2}\left((\ln 2)^2-(\ln 3)^2\right)=(\ln 3)^2-(\ln 2)^2$
$\Rightarrow \frac{\ln x}{\ln 2}=-1$
$\Rightarrow(\ln x)=\ln (2)^{-1}$
$\Rightarrow x=2^{-1} \Rightarrow x=\frac{1}{2}$, which is the required value of $x_0$.

(c) ${{x + 1} \over {(x - 1)\,(x - 2)\,(x - 3)}} = {A \over {x - 1}} + {B \over {x - 2}} + {C \over {x - 3}}$

AnswerCorrect option: C. ${{ - 1} \over {{{(x - 1)}^3}}} + {{ - 3} \over {{{(x - 1)}^2}}} + {{ - \,4} \over {(x - 1)}} + {4 \over {(x - 2)}}$
c
(c) Put the repeated factor
$(x - 1) = y \Rightarrow x = y + 1$
$\therefore {{{x^2}} \over {{{(x - 1)}^3}(x - 2)}} = {{{{(1 + y)}^2}} \over {{y^3}(y - 1)}} = {{1 + 2y + {y^2}} \over {{y^3}( - 1 + y)}}$
Dividing the numerator,
$(1 + 2y + {y^2})$ by $( - 1 + y)$ till ${y^3}$ appears as factor,
we get ${{1 + 2y + {y^2}} \over { - 1 + y}} = ( - 1 - 3y - 4{y^2}) + {{4{y^3}} \over { - 1 + y}}$
Given expression = ${{ - 1} \over {{y^3}}} - {3 \over {{y^2}}} - {4 \over y} + {4 \over { - 1 + y}}$
= ${{ - 1} \over {{{(x - 1)}^3}}} + {{ - 3} \over {{{(x - 1)}^2}}} + {{ - 4} \over {(x - 1)}} + {4 \over {(x - 2)}}$.

The number ${\log _2}7$ is
Answerc
(c) Suppose, if possible, ${\log _2}7$ is rational, say $p/q$ where $p$ and $q$ are integers, prime to each other.
Then, ${p \over q} = {\log _2}7\,\,\,\,\, \Rightarrow 7 = {2^{p/q}}\,\,\, \Rightarrow {2^p} = {7^q}$,
which is false since $L.H.S$ is even and $R.H.S$ is odd. Obviously ${\log _2}7$ is not an integer and hence not a prime number.

Logarithm of $32\root 5 \of 4 $ to the base $2\sqrt 2 $ is
Answera
(a) Let $x$ be the required logarithm , then by definition
${(2\sqrt 2 )^x} = 32\root 5 \of 4 $
==> ${({2.2^{1/2}})^x} = {2^5}{.2^{2/5}}$; ${2^{{{3x} \over 2}}} = {2^{5 + {2 \over 5}}}$
Here, by equating the indices, ${3 \over 2}x = {{27} \over 5}$
$\therefore x = \frac{{18}}{5} = 3.6$
