  • x + y ± 1 = 0

  • x + y = 2 ± 3

  • x + y ± 3 = 0

  • None of these


2.

If A and B are two such events that PA  B = PA  B, then which of the following is true?

  • P(a) + P(B) = 0

  • P(A) + P(B) = P(A)P(B/A)

  • P(A) + P(B) = 2P(A)P(B/A)

  • None of the above


3.

The y - coordinate of a point P on the line joining A(7, 2,1) and B(10, 5, 7) is 4. Then, x and z - coordinates of the point are

  • x = 9, z = 5

  • x = 3, z = 7

A man is standing on the horizontal plane. The angle of elevation of top of the pole is α. If he walks a distance double the height of the pole, then the elevation of the pole is 2α. The value of α is

  • π12

  • π4

  • π3

  • π6


A.

π12

Let the height of the pole be BC = h m.

In ABC,tan2α = hx            ...i

and in DBC,      tanα = h2h+ x tanα = hx2hx + 1 tanα = tan2α2tan2α + 1        tanα2tan2α + 1 = tan2α tanα2 × 2tanα1 - tan2α = 2tanα1 - tan2α  4tanα + 1 - tan2α = 2     tan2α - 4tanα + 1 = 0    tanα = + 4 ± 16 - 42 × 1                  = 4 ± 122 = 4 ± 232   tanα = 2 ± 3

Taking '-' sign, we get tanα = 2 - 3 tanα = tan15°        α = 15° or π12
