If $y = a \cos (\log x )$ and $A \frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}+B \frac{d y}{d x}+C=0$, then the values of $A , B , C$ are
  • A
    $x^2,-x,-y$
  • $x^2, x, y$
  • C
    $x^2, x_r-y$
  • D
    $x^2,-x, y$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$x^2, x, y$
$\text { [Hint : } y=a \cos (\log x)
\\ 
\therefore \frac{d y}{d x}=a[-\sin (\log x)] \times \frac{1}{x} \\
\therefore x \frac{d y}{d x}=-a \sin (\log x) \\
\therefore x \frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}+\frac{d y}{d x}=-a \cos (\log x) \times \frac{1}{x} \\
\therefore x^2 \frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}+x \frac{d y}{d x}=-y \\
\therefore x^2 \frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}+x \frac{d y}{d x}+y=0$
Comparing this with $A \frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}+ B \frac{d y}{d x}+ C =0$, we get
$A =x^2, B =x, C =y .$

& \text { (a) : Let } y=\sqrt{x^2+16} \text { and } z=\frac{x}{x-1} \\
& \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x^2+16}} \times 2 x, \frac{d z}{d x}=\frac{(x-1)-x}{(x-1)^2} \\

    $-\frac{99 y}{101 x}$
  • D
    $\frac{99 y}{101 x}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$-\frac{99 x}{101 y}$
 $\log _{10}\left(\frac{x^2-y^2}{x^2+y^2}\right)=2\ ($Given$)$

The derivative of $f(\sec x)$ with respect to $g(\tan x)$ at $x=\frac{\pi}{4}$, where $f^{\prime}(\sqrt{2})=4$ and $g^{\prime}(1)=2$, is
  • A
    2
  • B
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{2}}$
Answer
(c) : Let $y=f(\sec x)$ and $z=g(\tan x)$
Now, $\frac{d y}{d x}=f^{\prime}(\sec x) \cdot \sec x \tan x$
and $\frac{d z}{d x}=g^{\prime}(\tan x) \sec ^2 x$
Now, derivative of $y$ w.r.t. $z$ is $\frac{d y}{d z}=\frac{d y / d x}{d z / d x}$
i.e., $\frac{d y}{d z}=\frac{f^{\prime}(\sec x) \sec x \tan x}{g^{\prime}(\tan x) \sec ^2 x}=\frac{f^{\prime}(\sec x) \tan x}{g^{\prime}(\tan x) \sec x}$
$\therefore\left[\frac{d y}{d z}\right]_{x=\frac{\pi}{4}}=\frac{f^{\prime}(\sqrt{2}) \cdot 1}{g^{\prime}(1) \cdot \sqrt{2}}=\frac{4}{2 \times \sqrt{2}}=\sqrt{2}$

If $x=\sqrt{e^{\sin ^{-1} t}}$ and $y=\sqrt{e^{\cos ^{-1} t}}$, then $\frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}$ is
  • A
    $\frac{-y}{x^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{y^2}{2 x^2}$
  • $\frac{2 y}{x^2}$
  • D
    $\frac{-2 y}{x^2}$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\frac{2 y}{x^2}$
$x=\sqrt{e^{\sin ^{-1} t}}, y=\sqrt{e^{\cos ^{-1} t}}$
$\frac{d x}{d t}=\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{e^{\sin ^{-1} t}}} e^{\sin ^{-1} t} \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}=\frac{\sqrt{e^{\sin ^{-1} t}}}{2 \sqrt{1-t^2}}$
$\frac{d y}{d t}=\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{e^{\cos ^{-1} t}}} e^{\cos ^{-1} t}\left(\frac{-1}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}\right)=\frac{-\sqrt{e^{\cos ^{-1} t}}}{2 \sqrt{1-t^2}}$
$\therefore \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{d y / d t}{d x / d t}=\frac{-\sqrt{e^{\cos ^{-1} t}}}{\sqrt{e^{\sin ^{-1} t}}}$
Now, $\frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}=\frac{\frac{\sqrt{e^{\cos ^{-1} t}}}{2 \sqrt{1-t^2}} \sqrt{e^{\sin ^{-1} t}}+\frac{\sqrt{e^{\sin ^{-1} t}}}{2 \sqrt{1-t^2}} \sqrt{e^{\cos ^{-1} t}}}{e^{\sin ^{-1} t}} \cdot \frac{d t}{d x}2 \sqrt{e^{\cos ^{-1} t}} \sqrt{e^{\sin ^{-1} t}}$
$=\frac{2 \sqrt{1-t^2}}{e^{\sin ^{-1} t}} \times \frac{2 \sqrt{1-t^2}}{\sqrt{e^{\sin ^{-1} t}}}$
$=\frac{2 \sqrt{e^{\cos ^{-1} t}}}{e^{\sin ^{-1} t}}$
$=\frac{2 y}{x^2}$

  • A
    $30$
  • B
    $-4$
  • $-2$

Answer
Correct option: C.
$-2$
$ f^{\prime}(x)=3 x^2+2 x f^3+x^2 f^{\prime}(1)+x f^{\prime \prime}(2)+6, x \in R ...(i)$
$\Rightarrow \left.f^{\prime}(1)=3+2 f^{\prime}(1)+f^{\prime \prime}(2)\right)$
$\Rightarrow f^{\prime}(1)=-\left(3+f^{\prime \prime}(2)...(ii)\right.$
Now, $f^{\prime \prime}(x)=6 x+2 f^{\prime}(1)$
$=6 x-2\left(3+f^{\prime \prime}(2)\right) \ [$Using $(ii)]$
$\Rightarrow f^{\prime \prime}(x)=6 x-6-2 f^{\prime \prime}(2)$
$\Rightarrow f^{\prime \prime}(2)=12-6-2 f^{\prime \prime}(2)$
$\Rightarrow 3 f^{\prime \prime}(2)=6$
$ \Rightarrow f^{\prime \prime}(2)=2...(iii)$
Now, $f^{\prime}(1)=-\left(3+f^{\prime \prime}(2)\right)=-(3+2)=-5 [$ Using $(iii)] $
$f^{\prime}(1)=-5...(iv)$
Now substituting $(iii)$ and $(iv)$ in $(i)$ at $x=2$,

  • $\frac{n^2(n+1)}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{n(n+1)}{4}$
  • D
    $\frac{n^2(n-1)}{2}$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\frac{n^2(n+1)}{2}$
$y=[(x+1)(2 x+1)(3 x+1) \ldots \ldots(n x+1)]^n \ldots (i)$
Taking $\log$ both sides,
we get $\log y=n[\log (x+1)+\log (2 x+1)+\ldots . .+\log (n x+1)]$
Now, differentiating $\text{w.r.t.}\ 'x\ ' $
we get $\frac{1}{y} \cdot \frac{d y}{d x}=n\left[\frac{1}{x+1}+\frac{2}{2 x+1}+\ldots . .+\frac{n}{n x+1}\right]$
$\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=n[(x+1)(2 x+1) \ldots . .(n x+1)]^n$
$\quad\left[\frac{1}{x+1}+\frac{2}{2 x+1}+\ldots+\frac{n}{n x+1}\right] [$Using $(i)]$
At $x=0$,
we have $\frac{d y}{d x}=n[1+2+3+\ldots \ldots+n]$

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{x+y}+\frac{1}{x+y} \cdot \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{1}{y} \cdot \frac{d y}{d x}+\frac{1}{x}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}\left(\frac{1}{x+y}-\frac{1}{y}\right)=\frac{1}{x}-\frac{1}{x+y}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}\left[\frac{y-x-y}{(x+y) y}\right]=\frac{y}{x(x+y)}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}\left[\frac{-x}{(x+y) y}\right]=\frac{y}{x(x+y)} $

    $25 y$
  • $-25 y$
  • D
    $25 \sqrt{1-y^2}$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$-25 y$
Given, $y=\cos ^2\left(\frac{5 x}{2}\right)-\sin ^2\left(\frac{5 x}{2}\right)$
$\Rightarrow y=\cos 5 x$
$ \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=-5 \sin 5 x $
$\Rightarrow \frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}=-5 \times 5 \cos 5 x$
$=-25 \cos 5 x=-25 y$

Answer

(d) : Let $y=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}\right)$ Differentiate w.r.t. $x$, we get
$
\begin{aligned}
\frac{d y}{d x} & =\frac{1}{1+\left(\frac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}\right)^2} \times \frac{d}{d x}\left(\frac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}\right) \\

\Rightarrow & \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{\left(1-x^2\right)+x^2}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}...(i)
\end{aligned}
$
Let $u=\sin ^{-1}\left(3 x-4 x^3\right)$
Put $x=\sin \theta$,
$
\begin{aligned}
\therefore \quad u & =\sin ^{-1}\left(3 \sin \theta-4 \sin ^3 \theta\right) \\
& =\sin ^{-1}(\sin 3 \theta)=3 \theta=3 \sin ^{-1} x
\end{aligned}
$
Differentiate w.r.t. $x$, we get
$
\frac{d u}{d x}=3 \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}...(ii)
$
On dividing (i) by (ii), we get
$
\frac{d y}{d u}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} \times \frac{\sqrt{1-x^2}}{3}=\frac{1}{3}

  • $\frac{-y}{x}$
  • B
    $\frac{x}{y}$
  • C
    $\frac{y}{x}$
  • D

Answer
Correct option: A.
$\frac{-y}{x}$
We have, $x=\sqrt{a^{\sin ^{-1} t}}=a^{\frac{\sin ^{-1} t}{2}}...(i)$
And $y=\sqrt{a^{\cos ^{-1} t}}=a^{\frac{\cos ^{-1} t}{2}}...(ii)$
Now, $\frac{d y}{d t}=a^{\frac{\cos ^{-1} t}{2}} \times \log a \times\left(\frac{-1}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}\right) \times \frac{1}{2}$
$\frac{d x}{d t}=a^{\frac{\sin ^{-1} t}{2}} \times \log a \times\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}\right) \times \frac{1}{2}$
Now $, \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{d y}{d t} \div \frac{d x}{d t}=\frac{a^{\frac{\cos ^{-1} t}{2}} \times \log a \times\left(\frac{-1}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}\right) \times \frac{1}{2}}{a^{\frac{\sin ^{-1} t}{2}} \times \log a \times\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}\right) \times \frac{1}{2}}$

If $x^y=e^{x-y}$, then $d y / d x$ at $x=1$ is
  • A
    $e$
  • B
    $1$
  • $0$
  • D
    $-1$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$0$
We have, $x^y=e^{x-y}$
Taking logarithm on both sides, we get
$y \log x=x-y$
$ \Rightarrow y(\log x+1)=x$
$\Rightarrow y=\frac{x}{\log x+1} $
$\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{1 \cdot(1+\log x)-\frac{1}{x} \cdot x}{(1+\log x)^2}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{1+\log x-1}{(1+\log x)^2}$
$=\frac{\log x}{(1+\log x)^2}$
Now, $\left[\frac{d y}{d x}\right]_{x=1}$
$=\frac{\log 1}{(1+\log 1)^2}=0$
