B. DC = 3A, AC = 5A

C. DC = 5A, AC = 8A

D. DC = 2A, AC = 3A

Answer: A

Solution:

Solution:
Resultant current is superposition of two currents,
i.e. I (instantaneous total current)
= 6 + I 0sinωt
DC ammeter will read average value
= 6 + I 0sinωt
= 6A(∵I 0sinωt = 0)
AC ammeter will read average value

Question 33
An ideal gas is taken through the cycle A → B → C → A, as shown in the
figure. If the net heat supplied to the gas in the cycle is 5J, the work
done by the gas in the process C → A is,
Options:

A. −5J

B. −10J

C. −15J

D. −20J

Answer: A

Solution:

Solution:
Net work done by a gas,
ΔW AB = p . ΔV = 10 × (2 − 1) = 10J
ΔW BC = 0(as V = constant)
From first law of thermodynamics,
we have, ΔQ = ΔW + ΔU
U =0
(process ABCA is cyclic)
Therefore, ΔQ = ΔW AB + ΔW BC + ΔW CA
∴ ΔW CA = (ΔQ − W AB − W BC)
= (5 − 10 − 0)J = −5J

1 2 3
⇒ x = λ + 1, y = 2λ + 1, z = 3λ + 2
x−5 y−2
and = = z = µ (let)
2 1
⇒ x = 2µ + 5, y = µ + 2, z = µ
For point of intersection, we have
λ + 1 = 2µ + 5 and 2 λ + 1 = µ + 2 and 3 λ + 2 = µ
λ − 2µ = 4..........(i)
2λ − µ = 1 ..........(ii)
3λ − µ = −2 ..........(iii)
On solving Eqs. (ii) and (iii), we get

−λ = 3
λ = −3
Now, put λ = −3 and µ = −7 in Eq. (i), we get

Question 151
If U n + 1 = 3U n − 2U n − 1 and U 0 = 2, U 1 = 3, then U n is equal to

Options:

A. 1 − 2n

B. 2n + 1

C. 2n − 1

D. 2n + 2

Answer: B

Solution:

Solution:
We know that U n + 1 = 3U n − 2U n − 1 ...........(i)
1
Step I Given, U 1 = 3 = 2 + 1 = 2 + 1, which is true for
n = 1, put n = 1 in Eq.(i),
Then U 1 + 1 = 3U 1 − 2U 1 − 1
⇒ U 2 = 2U 1 − 2U 0
= 3 × 3 − 2 × 2 = 5 = 22 + 1
Which is true for n = 2
∴ The result are true for n = 1 and n = 2
Step II Assume it is true for n = k, then it is also true for
n=k−1
k
Then, U k = 2 + 1 ...........(ii)
k−1
and U k − 1 = 2 + 1 ......(iii)
Step III On putting n = k in Eq.(i), we get
U k + 1 = 3U k − 2U k − 1
k k−1
= 3(2 + 1) − 2(2 + 1) [From Eqs. (ii) and (iii)
k k−1
= 3.2 + 3 − 2.2 −2
k
= 3.2 + 3 − 2 − 2
k
= (3 − 1)2 + 1
k k+1
= 2.2 + 1 = 2 +1
This shows that the result is true for n = k + 1. Hence by the principle of mathematical induction the result is true for all
n∊N.

⇒ n(n − 20) + 17(n − 20) = 0
⇒ (n − 20)(n + 17) = 0
⇒ n − 20 or n + 17 = 0
n = 20 or n = −17 [it is not possible]
So, n = 20

Given, line is 2x − y = −7
y = 2x + 7
Here, slope m1 = 2
The required line makes an angle 45° with this line

So, tan45° = |
2 − m2
1 + 2m2 |
⇒ 1 + 2m2 = 2 − m2 or 1 + 2m2 = −(2 − m2)
2m2 + m2 = 2 − 1or1 + 2m2 = −2 + m2
⇒ 3m2 = 1 ⇒ 1m2 − m2 = −2 − 1
