Choose the most suitable answer from the given four alternatives:

Question 1.
The volume of a sphere is increasing in volume at the rate of 3π cm³/ sec. The rate of change of its radius when radius is $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ cm
(a) 3 cm/s
(b) 2 cm/s
(c) 1 cm/s
(d) $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ cm/s
Solution:
(a) 3 cm/s
Hint:
Volume V = $$\frac { 4 }{ 3 }$$ πr³
Given $$\frac { dV }{ dt }$$ = 3π cm³/sec
Differentiating w.r.t. ‘t’ r = $$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ cm

Rate of change of radius is 3 cm/sec.

Question 3.
The position of a particle moving along a horizontal line of any time t is given by s(t) = 3t² – 2t – 8. The time at which the particle is at rest is
(a) t = 0
(b) t = $$\frac { 1 }{ 3 }$$
(c) t = 1
(d) t = 3
Solution:
(b) t = $$\frac { 1 }{ 3 }$$
Hint:
s(t) = 3t² – 2t – 8
Velocity V = $$\frac { ds }{ dt }$$ = 6t – 2
When the particle comes to rest,
velocity V = 0
6t – 2 = 0
t = $$\frac { 1 }{ 3 }$$

Question 4.
A stone is thrown, up vertically. The height reaches at time t seconds is given by x = 80t – 16t². The stone reaches the maximum! height in time t seconds is given by
(a) 2
(b) 2.5
(c) 3
(d) 3.5
Solution:
(b) 2.5
Hint:
x = 80t – 16t²
Velocity V = $$\frac { ds }{ dt }$$ = 80 – 32t
When it reaches the maximum height
V = 0 ⇒ 80 – 32t = 0
t = $$\frac { 80 }{ 32 }$$ = 2.5

Question 5.

(a) (4, 11)
(b) (4, -11)
(c) (-4, 11)
(d) (-4, -11)
Solution:
(a) (4, 11)
Hint:

x = ±4
When x = 4, y = 11
∴ Point on the curve is (4, 11).

Question 6.
The abscissa of the point on the curve f(x) = $$\sqrt { 8-2x }$$ at which the slope of the tangent is -0.25?
(a) -8
(b) -4
(c) -2
(d) 0
Solution:
(b) -4
Hint:
f(x) = $$\sqrt { 8-2x }$$
f'(x) = –$$\frac { 2 }{ 2\sqrt { 8-2x } }$$ = –$$\frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 8-2x } }$$
Slope of the tangent is – 0.25
ie„ f'(x) = -0.25
–$$\frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 8-2x } }$$ = -0.25 = $$\frac { -1 }{ 4 }$$
$$\sqrt { 8-2x }$$ = 4
8 – 2x = 16
x = –$$\frac { 8 }{ 2 }$$ = -4
Abscissa x = -4

f'(x) = -8 sin 4x
Slope of the normal at x = $$\frac { π }{ 12 }$$ is

Question 8.
The tangent to the curve y² – xy + 9 = 0 is vertical when
(a) y = 0
(b) y = ±√3
(c) –$$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$
(d) y = ±3
Solution:
(d) y = ±3
Hint:
y² – xy + 9 = 0 ……… (1)
2y$$\frac { dy }{ dx }$$ – (x$$\frac { dy }{ dx }$$ + y) = 0
$$\frac { dy }{ dx }$$ (2y – x) = y
$$\frac { dy }{ dx }$$ = $$\frac { y }{ 2y-x }$$
When the tangent is vertical $$\frac { dy }{ dx }$$ = ∞
i.e., $$\frac { y }{ 2y-x }$$ = $$\frac { 0 }{ 1 }$$
⇒ 2y – x = 0
2y = x
sub in (1)
y² – 2y² + 9 = 0
⇒ y² = 9
y = ±3

Question 9.

(c) [ $$\frac { π }{ 4 }$$, $$\frac { π }{ 2 }$$ ]
(d) [ 0, $$\frac { π }{ 4 }$$ ]
Solution:
(c) [ $$\frac { π }{ 4 }$$, $$\frac { π }{ 2 }$$ ]
Hint:
f(x) = sin4x + cos4x
f'(x) = 4 sin³ x cos x – 4 cos³ x sin x
f'(x) = 0 ⇒ 4 sin x cos x (sin²x – cos²x) = 0
sin x = 0; cos x = 0; sin² – cos² x = 0
x = 0; x = $$\frac { π }{ 2 }$$; sin² x = cos² x
x = $$\frac { π }{ 4 }$$

In [0, $$\frac { π }{ 2 }$$ ], f'(x) = -ve ⇒ f(x) is decreasing
In [ $$\frac { π }{ 2 }$$, $$\frac { π }{ 2 }$$ ], f'(x) = +ve ⇒ f(x) is increasing

(d) 2
Hint:
f(x) = x³ – 3x²
f'(x) = 3x² – 6x
f'(x) = 0
⇒ 3x (x – 2) = 0
x = 0, 2

(a) 2

(a) 0
(b) 3
(c) 6
(d) 9
Solution:
(d) 9
Hint:
f(x) = |3 – x | + 9

Question 15.
The maximum slope of the tangent to the curve y = ex sin x, x ∈ [0, 2π] is at
(a) x = $$\frac { π }{ 4 }$$
(b) x = $$\frac { π }{ 2 }$$
(c) x = π
(d) x = $$\frac { 3π }{ 2 }$$
Solution:
(b) x = $$\frac { π }{ 2 }$$
Hint:
y = ex sin x, x ∈ [0, 2π] dy
Slope ‘S’ = $$\frac { dy }{ dx }$$ = ex cos x + ex sin x
S = ex (cos x + sin x)
$$\frac { dS }{ dx }$$ = ex (-sin x + cos x) + (cos x + sin x)ex
= ex (2 cos x)
For maximum or minimum,
$$\frac { dS }{ dx }$$ = 0 ⇒ 2ex cos x = 0
ex = 0 is not possible
∴ cos x = 0
x = $$\frac { π }{ 2 }$$

Question 16.
The maximum value of the function x² e-2x, x > 0 is
(a) $$\frac { 1 }{ e }$$
(b) $$\frac { 1 }{ 2e }$$
(c) $$\frac { 1 }{ e^2 }$$
(d) $$\frac { 4 }{ e^4 }$$
Solution:
(c) $$\frac { 1 }{ e^2 }$$
Hint:
Let f(x) = x²e-2x, x > 0
f'(x) = -2x² e-2x + e-2x (2x)
f'(x) = 0 ⇒ -2xe-2x(x – 1) = 0
x = 0 and x = 1
f(x) attains maximum at x = 1 as f”(x) < 0
when x = 1
∴ Maximum value f(1) = (1)² e-2 = $$\frac { 1 }{ e^2 }$$

Question 17.
One of the closest points on the curve x² – y² = 4 to the point (6, 0) is
(a) (2, 0)
(b) (√5, 1)
(c) (3, √5)
(d) ($$\sqrt { 13 }$$, -√3)
Solution:
(c) (3, √5)
Hint:
x² – y² = 4
y² = x² – 4
y = ±$$\sqrt { x^2-4 }$$
Any point on the curve is (x, ± $$\sqrt { x^2-4 }$$)
Distance between (6, 0) and (x, ± $$\sqrt { x^2-4 }$$) is $$\sqrt { (x-6)^2+x^2-4 }$$
Substituting all’ the given options, we get minimum distance.
∴ Required point is (3, √5)

Question 18.
The maximum value of the product of two positive numbers’, when their sum of the squares is 200, is
(a) 100
(b) 25√7
(c) 28
(d) 24$$\sqrt { 14 }$$
Solution:
(a) 100
Hint:
Given x² + y² = 200
y² = 200 – x²
y = $$\sqrt { 200-x^2 }$$
Product P = xy = x$$\sqrt { 200-x^2 }$$
$$\frac { dP }{ dx }$$ = $$\frac { x(-2x) }{ 2\sqrt{200-x^2} }$$ + $$\sqrt{200-x^2}$$ …. (1)
$$\frac { dP }{ dx }$$ = 0 ⇒ -2x² + 200 = 0
x² = 100
x = 10
∴ y = $$\sqrt{200-100}$$ = 10
∴ Maximum product is P = xy
= (10) (10)
= 100

Question 19.
The curve y = ax4 + bx² with ab > 0
(a) has no horizontal tangent
(b) is concave up
(c) is concave down
(d) has no points of inflection
Solution:
(d) has no points of inflection
Hint:
y = ax4 + bx²
$$\frac { dy }{ dx }$$ = 4ax³ + 2bx
$$\frac { d^2y }{ dx^2 }$$ = 12ax² + 2b
$$\frac { d^2y }{ dx^2 }$$ = 0 ⇒ 12ax² + 2b = 0
x² = –$$\frac { b }{ 6a }$$
x is unreal.
Hence no points of inflection.

Question 20.
The point of inflection of the curve y = (x – 1)³ is
(a) (0, 0)
(b) (0, 1)
(c) (1, 0)
(d) (1, 1)
Solution:
(c) (1, 0)
Hint:
y = (x – 1)³
$$\frac { dy }{ dx }$$ = 3(x – 1)²
$$\frac { d^2y }{ dx^2 }$$ = 6(x – 1)
$$\frac { d^2y }{ dx^2 }$$ = 0 ⇒ 6(x – 1) = 0
x = 1
y = f(x)
$$\frac { dy }{ dx }$$ = f'(x)
$$\frac { d^2y }{ dx^2 }$$ = f”(x)
In (-∞, 1), f”(x) < 0, curve is concave down In (1, ∞), f”(x) > 0, curve is concave up
f”(x) changes its sign when passing through x = 1
when x = 1, y = 0
∴ (1, 0) is the point of inflection.
