21. Let p, q be real numbers. If α is the root of x²+ 3p² x + 5q² = 0, β is a root of

      x² + 9p²x + 15q² = 0 and 0 < α < β, then the equation x² + 6p²x + 10q² = 0 has a root γ that always satisfies

(A) γ = α/4 + β
(B) β < γ
(C) γ = α/2 + β
(D) α < γ < β

Ans: (D)

Sol:

Let us assume that,

f(x) = x² + 6p²x + 10q²

As α is the root of x²+ 3p² x + 5q² = 0

So, α² + 3p²α + 5q² = 0

Also, β is a root of x² + 9p²x + 15q² = 0

So, β²+9p²β+15q² = 0

Now,

f(α) = α² + 6p²α + 10q² = (α²+3p²α+5q²) + (3p²α+5q²) = 0 + 3p²α+5q² > 0

Again, f(β) = β² + 6p²β + 10q² = (β²+9p²β+15q²) – (3p²β+5q²) = 0 – (3p²β + 5q²) < 0

So, there is one root γ such that, α < γ < β.

(1+x)ⁿ = C₀ + C₁x + C₂x² + ---------+C_nxⁿ ,

(x+1)ⁿ = C₀xⁿ + C₁x^n–1+C₂x^n–2 + ------+C_n

So, coefficient of xⁿ in [(1+x)ⁿ × (x+1)ⁿ] i.e. (1+x)²ⁿ is ( C₀² +C₁²+ -------+C_n²), which is ²ⁿC_n

WBJEE 2016 Solved Physics and Chemistry Question Paper

23. Ram is visiting a friend. Ram knows that his friend has 2 children and 1 of them is a boy. Assuming that a child is equally likely to be a boy or a girl, then the probability that the other child is a girl, is

(A) 1/2

(B) 1/3

(C) 2/3

(D) 7/10

Ans : (C)

Sol:

Let us denote the boy with B and the girl with G. Let S be the sample space for two children and one of them is boy.

S = {BG, BB,}

The probability that one of the children is boy and the other is girl = 1/2
