Ans (B)
Let the point of contact be (x0, y0) i.e., (x0, cos x0)
dy
= sin x 0
dx (x 0 , y0 )
Equation of the tangent at (x0, y0) is
y y0 = sin x 0 (x x 0 )
i.e., y cos x 0 = sin x 0 (x x 0 )
This passes through (0, 0),
x0 = cot x0,
y0 = cos x0

If A, B and C are angles of a triangle with C being an obtuse angle, then

(A) tan A tan B < 1
(B) tan A tan B > 1
(C) tan A tan B = 1
(D) none of these
Ans (A)
If C is obtuse, A and B must be acute so that tan A and tan B are greater than zero,
while tan C < 0 or tan C > 0.
tan A + tan B
tan C = tan[ (A + B)] = tan(A + B) =
1 tan A tan B
1 tan A tan B > 0 i.e., tan A tan B < 1
5. If z1, z2 and z3 are complex numbers on |z| = a satisfying z1 + z2 + z3 = 0, then
|z1 z2|2 + |z2 z3|2 + |z3 z1|2 is
(A) 9
(B) 9a
(C) 9a2
(D) none of these
Ans (C)
As z1, z2 and z3 are complex numbers on |z| = a and z1 + z2 + z3 = 0, we can take z2 = z1 and z3 = z12
|z1 z2|2 + |z2 z3|2 + |z3 z1|2 = |z1 z1|2 + |z1 z12|2+ |z12 z1|2

Two straight lines in space are called coplanar if they are parallel or they intersect, otherwise the lines are

called skew lines. If r = a + b and r = c + d are the vector equations of the two skew lines, then the
