Published on: August 13, 2026

SECTION 3 (Maximum Marks: 16)

This section contains TWO questions

Each question contains two columns, Column I and Column II

Column I has four entries

Column  I

Column  II

A. In R2, if the magnitude of the projection vector of the vector on is and if , then possible value(s) of is (are)

P. 1

B. Let a and b be real number such that the function is differentiable for all . Then possible value (s) of a is (are)

Q. 2

C. Let be a complex cube root of unit. If , then possible value(s) of n is (are)

R.3

D. Let the harmonic mean of two positive real number a and b be 4. If q is a positive real number such that a,5,q,b is an arithmetic progression, then the value(s) of |q-a| is (are)

S.4

T.5

A
, (P) (Q) (R) (S) (T) in Column I, matches with entries (Q), (R) and (T), then darken these three bubbles in the ORS. Similarly, for entries
B
, (P) (Q) (R) (S) (T) ,
C
and (P) (Q) (R) (S) (T) and
D
Column II has five entries (P), (Q), (R), (S) and (T) Match the entries in Column I with the entries in Column II One or more entries in Column I may match with one or more entries in Column II The ORS contains a 4 × 5 matrix whose layout will be similar to the one shown below: (P) (Q) (R) (S) (T) For each entry in Column I, darken the bubbles of all the matching entries. For example, if entry . Marking scheme: For each entry in Column I +2 If only the bubble(s) corresponding to all the correct match(es) is(are) darkened 0 If none of the bubbles is darkened – 1 In all other cases

Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
A

(P, Q), (P, Q), (P, Q, S, T), (Q, T)

… .. (1)

Given … .. (2)

From equation (1) and (2), we get = 2 or – 1

So | | = 1 or 2

For continuity – 3a – 2 = b + a 2

a 2 + 3a + 2 = – b … .. (1)

For differentiability – 6a = b

6a = – b

a 2 – 3a + 2 = 0

a = 1, 2

(3 – 3 + 2 2 ) 4n + 3 + (2 + 3 – 3 2 ) 4n + 3 + ( – 3 + 2 + 3 2 ) 4n + 3 = 0

(3 – 3 + 2 2 ) 4n + 3 + ( (2 2 + 3 – 3 )) 4n + 3 + ( 2 ( – 3 + 2 2 + 3)) 4n + 3 = 0

(3 – 3 + 2 2 ) 4n + 3 (1 + 4n + 8n ) = 0

n 3k, k N

Let a = 5 – d

q = 5 + d

b = 5 + 2d

|q – a| = |2d|

Given

(5 – d)(5 + 2d) = 2(5 – d + 5 + 2d) = 2(10 + d)

25 + 10d – 5d – 2d2 = 20 + 2d

2d 2 – 3d – 5 = 0

d = – 1, d =

|2d| = 2, 5
