Multiple Choice Questions

Question 1: If m is the slope of the tangent to the curve \( e^y=1+x^2 \), then
(a) |m| > 1
(b) m < 1
(c) |m| < 1
(d) |m| ≤ 1
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) |m| ≤ 1

Explanation:
1. Differentiate: \( e^y\frac{dy}{dx}=2x \), so \( m=\frac{2x}{1+x^2} \).
2. Since \( 1+x^2\ge2|x| \) (AM-GM), \( |m|\le1 \), with equality at x = ±1.

Question 2: The slope of the tangent to the curve \( y=x^2-x \) at the point where the line y = 2 cuts the curve in the first quadrant is
(a) 2
(b) 3
(c) −3
(d) none of these
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) 3

Explanation:
1. \( x^2-x=2 \) gives x = 2 or x = −1; the first quadrant point is (2, 2).
2. Slope \( =2x-1=3 \).

(a) −1
(b) 1
(c) 0
(d) none of these
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) −1

Explanation:
1. Ordinate = abscissa: \( x=\sqrt{4-x^2} \) gives \( x=\sqrt2 \), \( y=\sqrt2 \).
2. Slope \( =\frac{-x}{\sqrt{4-x^2}}=-\frac{\sqrt2}{\sqrt2}=-1 \).

Question 4: The slope of the tangent to the locus \( y=\cos^{-1}(\cos x) \) at \( x=-\frac\pi4 \) is
(a) 1
(b) 0
(c) 2
(d) −1
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) −1

Explanation:
1. For \( -\pi\le x\le0 \), \( \cos^{-1}(\cos x)=-x \).
2. So the slope at \( x=-\frac\pi4 \) is −1.

Question 5: The equation of a curve is \( x=e^t\sin t,\ y=e^t\cos t \). The inclination of the tangent to the curve at \( t=\frac\pi4 \) is
(a) \( \frac\pi4 \)
(b) \( \frac\pi3 \)
(c) \( \frac\pi2 \)
(d) 0
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) 0

Explanation:
1. \( \frac{dy}{dt}=e^t(\cos t-\sin t) \) and \( \frac{dx}{dt}=e^t(\sin t+\cos t) \).
2. At t = π/4: dy/dt = 0 and dx/dt ≠ 0, so the slope is 0 and the inclination is 0.

Question 6: The curve given by \( x+y=e^{xy} \) has a tangent parallel to the y-axis at the point
(a) (0, 1)
(b) (1, 0)
(c) (1, 1)
(d) none of these
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) (1, 0)

Explanation:
1. Differentiate: \( 1+y'=e^{xy}(y+xy') \), so \( y'(1-xe^{xy})=ye^{xy}-1 \).
2. A vertical tangent needs the coefficient of y′ to vanish: \( xe^{xy}=1 \).
3. (1, 0) satisfies both this and the curve: 1 + 0 = 1 = e⁰.

Question 7: P(2, 2) and Q(1/2, −1) are two points on the parabola \( y^2=2x \). The coordinates of the point R on the parabola, where the tangent to the curve is parallel to the chord PQ, are
(a) \( \left(\frac54,\frac{\sqrt5}{2}\right) \)
(b) (2, −1)
(c) \( \left(\frac18,\frac12\right) \)
(d) none of these
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) \( \left(\frac18,\frac12\right) \)

Explanation:
1. Slope of PQ \( =\frac{2-(-1)}{2-\frac12}=2 \).
2. Tangent slope \( \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac1y=2 \), so \( y=\frac12 \) and \( x=\frac{y^2}{2}=\frac18 \).

Question 8: The number of tangents to the curve \( x^{3/2}+y^{3/2}=a^{3/2} \) where the tangents are equally inclined to the axes is
(a) 2
(b) 1
(c) 0
(d) 4
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) 1

Explanation:
1. The curve lies in the first quadrant (x, y ≥ 0) and \( \frac{dy}{dx}=-\sqrt{\frac xy}\le0 \).
2. Equal inclination to the axes means slope −1 only (slope +1 is impossible), giving x = y.
3. So only one point, hence one tangent.

Question 9: The point on the curve \( \sqrt x+\sqrt y=2a^2 \) where the tangent is equally inclined to the axes is
(a) (a⁴, a⁴)
(b) (0, 4a⁴)
(c) (4a⁴, 0)
(d) none of these
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) (a⁴, a⁴)

Explanation:
1. Slope \( =-\sqrt{\frac yx}=-1 \) gives x = y.
2. Then \( 2\sqrt x=2a^2 \), so \( x=a^4 \) and the point is (a⁴, a⁴).

Question 10: The parabolas \( x^2=5-4y \) and \( y=x^2 \) cut at the point (1, 1) at an angle
(a) \( \frac\pi2 \)
(b) \( \frac\pi4 \)
(c) \( \frac\pi3 \)
(d) none of these
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) \( \frac\pi2 \)

Explanation:
1. For \( x^2=5-4y \): \( 2x=-4y' \), slope at (1, 1) is \( -\frac12 \).
2. For \( y=x^2 \): slope 2.
3. Product \( -\frac12\times2=-1 \), so the curves cut at right angles.

Question 11: The angle between the two tangents to the ellipse \( \frac{x^2}{16}+\frac{y^2}{9}=1 \) at the points where the line y = 1 cuts the curve is
(a) \( \frac\pi4 \)
(b) \( \tan^{-1}\frac{6\sqrt2}{7} \)
(c) \( \frac\pi2 \)
(d) none of these
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) \( \tan^{-1}\frac{6\sqrt2}{7} \)

Explanation:
1. At y = 1: \( x^2=16\cdot\frac89 \), so \( x=\pm\frac{8\sqrt2}{3} \).
2. Tangent slopes \( m=-\frac{9x}{16y}=\mp\frac{3\sqrt2}{2} \), so \( m^2=\frac92 \).
3. Angle between slopes m and −m: \( \tan\theta=\frac{2m}{1-m^2} \), magnitude \( \frac{3\sqrt2}{3.5}=\frac{6\sqrt2}{7} \).

Question 12: The equation of a curve is y = f(x). The tangents at (1, f(1)), (2, f(2)) and (3, f(3)) make angles \( \frac\pi6,\frac\pi3 \) and \( \frac\pi4 \) respectively with the positive direction of the x-axis. Then the value of \( \int_2^3f'(x)f''(x)\,dx+\int_1^3f''(x)\,dx \) is equal to
(a) \( -\frac1{\sqrt3} \)
(b) \( \frac1{\sqrt3} \)
(c) 0
(d) none of these
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) \( -\frac1{\sqrt3} \)

Explanation:
1. \( f'(1)=\tan\frac\pi6=\frac1{\sqrt3},\ f'(2)=\sqrt3,\ f'(3)=1 \).
2. First integral \( =\left[\frac{f'(x)^2}{2}\right]_2^3=\frac{1-3}{2}=-1 \).
3. Second integral \( =f'(3)-f'(1)=1-\frac1{\sqrt3} \).
4. Sum \( =-\frac1{\sqrt3} \).

Question 13: The equation of the tangent to the curve \( y=e^{-|x|} \) at the point where the curve cuts the line x = 1 is
(a) x + y = e
(b) e(x + y) = 1
(c) y + ex = 1
(d) none of these
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) none of these

Explanation:
1. For x > 0, \( y=e^{-x} \) and \( y'=-e^{-x} \). At x = 1 the point is \( (1,e^{-1}) \) with slope \( -e^{-1} \).
2. Tangent: \( y-e^{-1}=-e^{-1}(x-1) \), i.e. x + ey = 2, which matches none of a, b, c.

Question 14: The equation of the tangent to the curve \( y=be^{-x/a} \) at the point where it cuts the y-axis is
(a) \( \frac xa+\frac yb=1 \)
(b) \( \frac xa+\frac yb=-1 \)
(c) \( \frac xa-\frac yb=1 \)
(d) none of these
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) \( \frac xa+\frac yb=1 \)

Explanation:
1. At x = 0, y = b. Slope \( y'=-\frac ba e^{-x/a}=-\frac ba \).
2. Tangent: \( y-b=-\frac ba x \), i.e. \( \frac xa+\frac yb=1 \).

Question 15: If the tangent to the curve \( \sqrt x+\sqrt y=\sqrt a \) at any point on it cuts the axes OX and OY at P and Q respectively, then OP + OQ is
(a) 2a
(b) a
(c) \( \frac a2 \)
(d) none of these
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) a

Explanation:
1. At the point \( (x_0,y_0) \) the tangent has intercepts \( OP=\sqrt{x_0}\sqrt a \) and \( OQ=\sqrt{y_0}\sqrt a \).
2. Sum \( =\sqrt a(\sqrt{x_0}+\sqrt{y_0})=\sqrt a\cdot\sqrt a=a \).

(a) 1
(b) −2
(c) 4
(d) none of these
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) 4

Explanation:
1. The line is x + y = 3, i.e. y = 3 − x.
2. Tangency: \( (x+1)(3-x)=c \), i.e. \( x^2-2x+(c-3)=0 \) with zero discriminant: \( 4-4(c-3)=0 \), so c = 4.

Question 17: The curve \( \frac{x^n}{a^n}+\frac{y^n}{b^n}=2 \) touches the line \( \frac xa+\frac yb=2 \) at the point
(a) (b, a)
(b) (a, b)
(c) (1, 1)
(d) \( \left(\frac1b,\frac1a\right) \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) (a, b)

Explanation:
1. At (a, b) the curve gives \( 1+1=2 \) and the line gives \( 1+1=2 \).
2. The tangent to the curve at (a, b) is \( \frac{x}{a}+\frac yb=2 \) by differentiation, so the line touches it there.

(c) 8
(d) none of these
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) 4

Explanation:
1. Using the previous result with \( \sqrt a=2 \), i.e. a = 4, the sum of intercepts is a = 4.

(a) 1 unit²
(b) 2 unit²
(c) \( \frac12 \) unit²
(d) none of these
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) \( \frac12 \) unit²

Explanation:
1. Slope of tangent at x = 1 is 1, so the normal has slope −1: \( y=-(x-1) \).
2. It meets the axes at (1, 0) and (0, 1).
3. Area \( =\frac12\times1\times1=\frac12 \).

Question 20: The normal to the curve \( 2x^2+y^2=12 \) at the point (2, 2) cuts the curve again at
(a) \( \left(-\frac{22}{9},-\frac29\right) \)
(b) \( \left(\frac{22}{9},\frac29\right) \)
(c) (−2, −2)
(d) none of these
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) \( \left(-\frac{22}{9},-\frac29\right) \)

Explanation:
1. Gradient at (2, 2) is (4x, 2y) = (8, 4), so the normal direction is (2, 1): \( (2+2t,\ 2+t) \).
2. Substitute: \( 2(2+2t)^2+(2+t)^2=12 \) gives \( 9t^2+20t=0 \), so \( t=-\frac{20}{9} \).
3. Point \( \left(-\frac{22}{9},-\frac29\right) \).
