D. Δ1 – Δ2 = –2x3
Ans. B
Explanation: Given That
x sinθ cosθ
1 = -sinθ -x 1
cosθ 1 x
= x (–x2 – 1) – sin θ (–x sin θ – cos θ) + cos θ (–sin θ + x cos θ)
= x3 - x + x sin2 θ + sin θ cos θ – cos θ sin θ + x cos2 θ
= -x3 – x + x (sin2θ + cos2θ) = - x3 – x + x

45
⟹ – x3
Similarly Δ2 = -x3
Now, Δ1 + Δ2 = - x3 – x3 –2x3

70. Let f(x) = x2, x ∈ R. For any A  R, define g (A) = {x ∈ R :

f(x) ∈ A}. If S = [0,4], then which one of the following
statements is not true ?
A. g(f(S)) ≠ S B. f(g(S))= S
C. f(g(S)) ≠ f(S) D. g(f(S)) =g(S)
Ans. D
Explanation:
Given that.
f(x) = x2, x ∈ R.
g (A) = {x ∈ R : f(x) ∈ A} and S = [0,4]
g(s) = {x ∈ R : f(x) ∈ S}
= {x ∈ R : 0 ≤ x2 ≤ 4}
= {x ∈ R : -2 ≤ x ≤ 2}

g(S) = [–2, 2]
f(g(S)) = [0,4] = S
f(S) = [0, 16] ⟹ f(g(S)) ≠ f(S)
g(f(S)) = [–4, 4] ≠ g(S)
Therefore, g(f(s)) = g(s) is not true.

then the value of λ + μ is :
A. 10 B. 9
C. 12 D. 7
Ans. A
Explanation:
Given that system of linear equations

58
 x + 2y + 2z = 6
x + 3y + λz = μ, (λ, μ ∈ R),
x + 3y + λz – μ = a (x + y + z – 5) + b (x + 2y + 2z – 6)
comparing coefficients we get
a+b=1 …(i)
and a + 2b = 3 …(ii)
On solving (i) and (ii)
a = -1 and b = 2
(a, b)  (–1, 2)
So, x + 3y + λz – μ = x + 3y + 3z – λ
⟹ μ = 7, λ = 3
