CUET Previous Year PYQ CUET CUET 2023 PYQ

Solution

Let the speed of the athlete be $v_a$ and the speed of the car be $v_c$. Given time is equal: $\dfrac{200}{v_a} = \dfrac{500}{v_c}$ $\Rightarrow \dfrac{v_a}{v_c} = \dfrac{200}{500} = \dfrac{2}{5}$ So, the athlete’s speed is $\dfrac{2}{5}$ of the car’s speed. When the car covers $2$ km $= 2000$ m, distance covered by the athlete $= \dfrac{2}{5} \times 2000 = 800$ m

Go to Discussion

CUET Previous Year PYQ CUET CUET 2023 PYQ

Solution

If they are seated at North, East, South, West of a table (facing the centre), then:

North seat → faces South

East seat → faces West

South seat → faces North

West seat → faces East

One girl is facing South ⇒ she is sitting at North.

So, South (opposite North) must be a boy.

Remaining seats East and West must be one boy and one girl (opposite sexes).

“No boy is facing East” ⇒ no boy can sit at West (because West seat faces East).

So the second boy sits at East (faces West).

Thus, boys are facing North (boy at South) and West (boy at East).

Solution

$ \cot 45^\circ = 1 \Rightarrow \cot^2 45^\circ = 1 $ $ \sin 45^\circ = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \Rightarrow \sin^2 45^\circ = \dfrac{1}{2} $ LHS: $ \cot^2 45^\circ - \sin^2 45^\circ = 1 - \dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{1}{2} $ Now, $ \sin 30^\circ = \dfrac{1}{2} \Rightarrow \sin^2 30^\circ = \dfrac{1}{4} $ $ \tan 45^\circ = 1 \Rightarrow \tan^2 45^\circ = 1 $ $ \sec 45^\circ = \sqrt{2} \Rightarrow \sec^2 45^\circ = 2 $ RHS: $ K \times \dfrac{1}{4} \times 1 \times 2 = \dfrac{K}{2} $ Equating LHS and RHS: $ \dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{K}{2} \Rightarrow K = 1 $

Solution

Let required unit vector be $\vec{a}=l\hat{i}+m\hat{j}+n\hat{k}$. Equal angles with x and y axis $\Rightarrow l=m$. Orthogonal condition: $\vec{a}\cdot(-\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+2\hat{k})=0$ $-l+2m+2n=0$ Since $l=m$: $-l+2l+2n=0 \Rightarrow l+2n=0 \Rightarrow n=-\dfrac{l}{2}$ So vector $\propto (l,l,-\dfrac{l}{2}) \Rightarrow (2,2,-1)$ Unit vector: $\pm \dfrac{1}{3}(2\hat{i}+2\hat{j}-\hat{k})$

Given below are two statements:

Statement I: If the roots of the quadratic equation

$x^2 - 4x - \log_3 a = 0$ are real, then the least value of $a$ is $\dfrac{1}{81}$.

Statement II: The harmonic mean of the roots of the equation

$(5+\sqrt{2})x^2 - (4+\sqrt{5})x + (8+2\sqrt{5}) = 0$ is $2$.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Go to Discussion

CUET Previous Year PYQ CUET CUET 2023 PYQ

Solution

For Statement I:

For real roots, discriminant $\ge 0$

$(-4)^2 - 4(1)(-\log_3 a) \ge 0$

$16 + 4\log_3 a \ge 0$

$\log_3 a \ge -4$

$a \ge 3^{-4} = \dfrac{1}{81}$

So Statement I is true.

For Statement II:

Harmonic mean of roots $= \dfrac{2\alpha\beta}{\alpha+\beta}$

Here,

$\alpha+\beta = \dfrac{4+\sqrt{5}}{5+\sqrt{2}}$

$\alpha\beta = \dfrac{8+2\sqrt{5}}{5+\sqrt{2}}$

So,

HM $= \dfrac{2(8+2\sqrt{5})}{4+\sqrt{5}} = 4 \ne 2$

So Statement II is false.

Qus : 27 CUET PYQ 2023

Rudyard Kipling honoured motherhood with these words: "God could not be everywhere and, therefore, he made mothers." This is similar to what Sarada Devi, referred to as Holy Mother by her disciples, would say quoting her husband. Ramakrishana Paramhansa: “He had the attitude of a mother towards all creations and he has left me behind to demonstrate this motherhood of God." That, she said, was her purpose in life.

A mother's role is multifaceted. She is also her child's first teacher And Sarada Devi fully imbibed and imparted the philosophy of "Vigyan Vedanta', demonstrating how all those teachings could be applied to make our own lives blessed.

In her own way, she taught "as many faiths, so many paths", Brahmin, according to her, was in all things and in all creatures. Though the realised souls have imparted different teachings, and they don't say the same thing, however, since there are many paths leading to the same goal, all of their teachings are true. She gave a unique analogy for this. Imagine a tree with birds of different colours and plumage sitting and singing a wide variety of notes in varying octaves. We do not say that any one particular bird's chirp is the chirp, and the rest are not. She would say that founders of all religions are realised souls and they have witnessed different aspects of God on the basis of their own experience, and they are all correct as they have indeed known the truth. They are wrong in generalising it, though. Actually, they are only referring to different forms and aspects of one and the same infinite, divine reality.

Demonstrating harmony of religions in her day-to-day life and a mother's unconditional love for all, Sri Maa would say that the Muslim labourer called Amjad working for her was as much her son as was Sarat, Swami Saradananda, her personal attendant. When Sister Nivedita, Swami Vivekananda's disciple, came to visit her Maa Sarada embraced and accepted her as her own daughter. She maintained that the infinite divine reality is nirgun formless, in one aspect, and also sagun, with form. Once, when asked by a monk, "Are you really the mother of all? Even the birds, insects and beasts?" She said, "Yes" At her home in Jayrambati, West Bengal. when a monk once hit a cat, the Holy Mother was deeply hurt and said. "Don't beat it. Feed it, so it will not steal food. I live in that cat.

Pray for desirelessness, was her advice. If one can entirely give up all wordly desires, they can get a vision of God right away, she believed. Her final and most profound teaching was that if you want peace of mind, do not find faults with others. Rather, learn to see your own faults. "Learn to accept the whole world as your own. No one is a stranger, my child," she would say.

"God could not be everywhere and, therefore he made mother" who said this.

CUET Previous Year PYQ CUET CUET 2023 PYQ

Solution

Let the principal be $ P $.

Since the money doubles in 10 years, the total amount becomes $ 2P $.
So, Simple Interest (SI) = $ 2P - P = P $

Use the formula:
$$\text{SI} = \frac{P \cdot R \cdot T}{100}$$ Substituting values: $$P = \frac{P \cdot R \cdot 10}{100}$$ Cancel $ P $ on both sides: $$1 = \frac{R \cdot 10}{100} \Rightarrow R = \frac{100}{10} = \boxed{10\%}$$
Final Answer:
$$\boxed{10\% \text{ per annum}}$$

CUET Previous Year PYQ CUET CUET 2023 PYQ

Solution

Let the centre of circle $S$ be $(h,k)$ and radius $r$.

Orthogonality condition with circle $x^2+y^2=1$:

$h^2 + k^2 = r^2 + 1$

Orthogonality with $(x-1)^2+y^2=16$:

$(h-1)^2 + k^2 = r^2 + 16$

Subtracting:

$(h-1)^2 - h^2 = 15$

$h^2 - 2h +1 - h^2 = 15$

$-2h = 14 \Rightarrow h = -7$

Since circle passes through $(0,1)$:

$r^2 = (0+7)^2 + (1-k)^2$

Using $h^2+k^2=r^2+1$:

$49 + k^2 = r^2 + 1$

Solving gives $k=1$.

Centre of $S = (-7,1)$

Let the common roots be $\alpha,\beta,\gamma$ respectively. From the first equation, common root $\alpha$ satisfies $\alpha^2 + p\alpha + qr = 0$ Similarly, $\alpha^2 + q\alpha + rp = 0$ Subtracting, $(p-q)\alpha + (qr-rp)=0$ $\Rightarrow (p-q)(\alpha - r)=0$ So $\alpha = r$.

CUET Previous Year PYQ CUET CUET 2023 PYQ

Solution

$\displaystyle \int_{-3}^{3} x^3,dx = 0$ (odd function over symmetric limits) $\displaystyle \int_{-3}^{3} 5,dx = 5 \times 6 = 30$ So, $\displaystyle \int_{-3}^{3} (x^3+5),dx = 30$ ⇒ Assertion A is true. But $x^3+5$ is not an odd function (sum of odd and even function). So Reason R is false.

Go to Discussion

CUET Previous Year PYQ CUET CUET 2023 PYQ

Solution

If numbers are $a,b$:

H.P. $=\dfrac{2ab}{a+b}=4 \Rightarrow ab=2(a+b)$

$A=\dfrac{a+b}{2},\quad G^2=ab$

Given:

$2A+G^2=(a+b)+ab=27$

Substitute $ab=2(a+b)$:

$3(a+b)=27 \Rightarrow a+b=9$

$ab=18$

So numbers are roots of

$x^2-9x+18=0 \Rightarrow x=6,3$

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.

Assertion A:

An elevator starts with $m$ passengers and stops at $n$ floors $(m\le n)$.

The probability that no two passengers alight at the same floor is

$\displaystyle \frac{,{}^{n}P_m}{n^m}$.

Reason R:

If $(n+1)p$ is an integer, say $r$, then

$P(X=r)=,{}^{n}C_r p^r(1-p)^{n-r}$ is maximum when $r=np$ or $r=np-1$.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer:

CUET Previous Year PYQ CUET CUET 2023 PYQ

Solution

Total ways for $m$ passengers to choose floors $=n^m$

Favorable ways (all different floors) $={}^{n}P_m$

So Assertion A is true.

Reason R is a property of binomial distribution, which is true, but it has no relation to the elevator probability problem

Go to Discussion

CUET Previous Year PYQ CUET CUET 2023 PYQ

Solution

$|x|$ is not differentiable at $0$.

Near $x=0$, $\sin(|x|)\approx |x|$.

For option (4):

$f(x)=\sin(|x|)-|x|$

Near $0$:

$f(x)\approx |x|-|x|=0$

Both left-hand and right-hand derivatives at $0$ are equal, hence $f(x)$ is differentiable at $0$.

All other options involve $|x|$ in a way that makes the derivative discontinuous at $0$.
