## Solution 2

$$\begin{gathered} f(x)=k x-1, g(x)=x+12 \\ (g \circ f)(2)=(f \circ g)(2) \\ g(f(2))=f(g(2)) \\ g(2 k-1)=f(14) \\ 2 k-1+12=14 k-1 \\ 12 k=12 \\ \therefore k=1 \end{gathered}$$

## Solution 2 (OR)

Let $f(x)=x^{3}+p x^{2}-8 q x+5$ and $g(x)=2 x^{3}-q x^{2}+4 p x-18.$
Since $x-2$ is a common factor of $f(x)$ and $g(x)$, \begin{aligned} \therefore f(2)=0 & \text { and } \quad g(2)=0 \\ 8+4 p-16 q+5 &=0 \\ 4 p-16 q &=-13 &\qquad (1)\\ g(2) &=0 \\ 16-4 q+8 p-18 &=0 \\ 8 p-4 q &=2 \\ 4 p-2 q &=1&\qquad (2) \end{aligned} $$\begin{array}{rll} \text{Eq. (1)}\rightarrow 4 p-16 q&=-13&\cdots (3)\\ \text{Eq. (2)}\rightarrow 4 p-2 q&=1&\cdots (4)\\ (3)-(4):& -14 q=-14\end{array}$$ $\therefore q=1$, and Substitute $q=1$ in Eq. (2), $$\begin{array}{r} 4 p-2=1 \\ 4 p=3 \\ \therefore p=\frac{3}{4} \\ \therefore p=\frac{3}{4}, q=1 \end{array}$$

## Solution 3

\begin{aligned} &\quad \text { In an A.P., } \quad u_{p}=q, u_{q}=p \text {. }\\ &\begin{array}{r} u_{p}=q \\ a+(p-1) d=q&\cdots(1) \end{array}\\ & a+p d-d=q\\ & u_{q}=p\\ & a+(q-1) d=p\\ & a+q d-d=p&\cdots(2)\\ &\text { Eq. (1) } \rightarrow \quad a+p d-d=q&\cdots(3)\\ &\text { Eq. (2) } \rightarrow a+q d-d=p&\cdots(4)\\ &(3)-(4):(p-q) d=-(p-q)\\ &\therefore d=-1\\ & u_{p+q}=a+(p+q-1) d\\ &=a+p d+q d-d\\ &=a+p d-d+q d\\ &=q+q d\\ &=q+q(-1)\\ &\therefore u_{p+q}=0 \end{aligned}

## Solution 3(OR)

$$\begin{array}{rr}\text { In a G.P, } & u_{1}-u_{2}=2 \\ & a-a r=2 \\ & a(1-r)=2 &\cdots (1)\\ & S=50\\ &\frac{a}{1-r}=50 & \cdots (2)\\ (1)\times (2):& a^2=100\\& a=\pm 10\end{array}$$ If $a=-10, 1-r=\frac{2}{-10}$. Thus $r=\frac 65$, which is impossible because $|r| < 1.$ Thus $a=10$.

## Solution 4

Given: $O$ is the centre of the circle
To find: $\angle R Q T$
\begin{aligned} &\text { Solution: } \beta=90^{\circ}(\because \text { radius } \perp \text { tangent }) \\ &\qquad \begin{aligned} \delta &=\beta+34^{\circ}=124^{\circ} \\ \alpha &=\frac{\delta}{2}=\frac{124^{\circ}}{2}=62^{\circ} \\ \therefore & \angle R Q T=\alpha=62^{\circ} \end{aligned} \end{aligned}

## Solution 5

\begin{aligned} \sin 2 x(1+2 \cos x) &=\sin 2 x+2 \sin 2 x \cos x\\ &=\sin 2x+\left(\sin(2x+x)+\sin(2x-x)\right)\\ &=\sin 2x+\sin 3x+\sin x\\ &=\sin x+\sin 2 x+\sin 3 x \end{aligned}

## Solution 6

\begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow 2} \frac{x^{3}-8}{\sqrt{x+2}-2}\\ &=\lim _{x \rightarrow 2} \frac{(x-2)\left(x^{2}+2 x+4\right)}{\sqrt{x+2}-2} \times \frac{\sqrt{x+2}+2}{\sqrt{x+2}+2}\\ &=\lim _{x \rightarrow 2} \frac{(x-2)\left(x^{2}+2 x+4\right)(\sqrt{x+2}+2)}{x+2-4}\\ &=\lim _{x \rightarrow 2} \frac{(x-2)\left(x^{2}+2 x+4\right)(\sqrt{x+2}+2)}{x-2}\\ &=\lim _{x \rightarrow 2}\left[\left(x^{2}+2 x+4\right)(\sqrt{x+2}+2)\right]\\ &=\left(2^{2}+2(2)+4\right)(\sqrt{2+2}+2)\\ &=12 \times 4\\ &=48 \end{aligned} \begin{aligned} &\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\cos x-1}{\sin ^{2} x} \\ =& \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\cos x-1}{1-\cos ^{2} x} \\ =& \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\cos x-1}{(1+\cos x)(1-\cos x)} \\ =& \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{-(1-\cos x)}{(1+\cos x)(1-\cos x)} \\ =& \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{-1}{1+\cos x} \\ =& \frac{-1}{1+\cos 0} \\ =& \frac{-1}{1+1} \\ =&-\frac{1}{2} \end{aligned}

## Solution 7(a)

\begin{aligned} f(x) &=\frac{x}{x-3}, x \neq 3, g(x)=3 x+5 \\ (f\circ g)^{-1}(x)&=\frac 53\\ x& =(f\circ g)\left(\frac{5}{3} \right)\\ & =f \left(g\left(\frac{5}{3} \right)\right)\\ & =f \left(3\times \left(\frac{5}{3} \right)+5\right)\\ &=f(10)\\ & \therefore x=\frac{10}{10-3}=\frac{10}{7} \\ \end{aligned}

## Solution 7(b)

$\odot$ is not a binary operation.

## Solution 8(a)

Let $f(x)=x^{3}-a x-6$ $x+2$ is a factor of $f(x)$ \begin{aligned} f(-2) &=0 \\ (-2)^{3}-a(-2)-6 &=0 \\ -8+2 a-6 &=0 \\ 2 a &=14 \\ \therefore a &=7 \end{aligned} Let $g(x)=2 x^{3}+a x^{2}-6 x+9$
When $g(x)$ is divided by $x+1$, the remainder $=g(-1)$ \begin{aligned} &=2(-1)^{3}+7(-1)^{2}-6(-1)+9 \\ &=-2+7+6+9 \\ &=20 \end{aligned}

## Solution 9(a)

$-7+(2 x+1)^{2} \geq 6 x$
$-7+4 x^{2}+4 x+1-6 x \geq 0$
$4 x^{2}-2 x-6 \geq 0$
$2 x^{2}-x-3 \geq 0$
$(x+1)(2 x-3) \geq 0$
$x+1 \leq 0$ and $2 x-3 \leq 0$ (or) $x+1 \geq 0$ and $2 x$
$x \leq-1$ and $x \leq \frac{3}{2}$ (or) $x \geq-1$ and $x \geq \frac{3}{2}$
$x \leq-1$ (or) $x \geq \frac{3}{2}$
The solution set $=\left\{x \mid x \leq-1\right.$ (or) $\left.x \geq \frac{3}{2}\right\}$

$\outsideeq{-1}{\frac 32}$

## Solution 9(b)

$b, x, y, c$ are consecutive terms of a G.P. Let $r=$ common ratio. $$\therefore x=b r, y=b r^{2}, c=b r^{3}$$ The A.M. between $b$ and $c$ is $a$. \begin{aligned} \frac{b+c}{2} &=a \\ b+c &=2 a \\ x^{3}+y^{3} &=b^{3} r^{3}+b^{3} r^{6} \\ &=\left(b^{2}+b^{2} r^{3}\right) b r^{3} \\ &=\left(b+b r^{3}\right) b c \\ &=(b+c) b c \\ \therefore x^{3}+y^{3} &=2 a b c \end{aligned}

## Solution 10(a)

In a G.P., $$\begin{array}{rll} u_{1} \times u_{2} \times u_{3}&=1000\\ a \times a r \times a r^{2}&=1000\\ a^{3} r^{3}&=1000\\ a r&=10&\cdots (1)\end{array}$$ $u_{1} ,u_{2}+6, u_{3}+7$ is an A.P.

(1), $$\begin{array}{r} (25-10 r) r=10 \\ 25 r-10 r^{2}-10=0 \\ 10 r^{2}-25 r+10=0 \\ 2 r^{2}-5 r+2=0 \\ (2 r-1)(r-2)=0 \\ r=\frac{1}{2}(\text { or }) r=2 \end{array}$$ When $r=\frac{1}{2}, a=20$
The first three terms of the GP. are $20,10,5$.
When $r=2, a=5$.
The first three terms of the G.P. are $5,10,20$
