Q1A teacher asks students to identify the correct statement about decimal expansions. Which statement should be accepted?

A Every irrational number has a recurring decimal expansion.
B Every terminating decimal is irrational unless it is an integer.
C Every rational number has either a terminating or a non-terminating recurring decimal expansion.
D Every non-terminating decimal is irrational.
Explanation

Rational numbers are exactly those whose decimal expansions terminate or eventually repeat. Non-terminating non-recurring decimals are the decimal signature of irrational numbers.

Q2For f(x) = x^3 - 3x on [0, 2], the value of c in (0, 2) satisfying Lagrange's Mean Value Theorem is

A 2/sqrt(3)
B sqrt(3)/2
C 1/sqrt(3)
D sqrt(2)
Explanation

The secant slope on [0, 2] is (f(2)-f(0))/(2-0) = (2-0)/2 = 1. Since f_prime(x) = 3x^2 - 3, Lagrange's theorem requires 3c^2 - 3 = 1. Hence c^2 = 4/3 and the interior value is c = 2/sqrt(3).

Q3The scalar projection of a = 2i - j + 2k on b = i + 2j + 2k is:

A 4/3
B 2/3
C 4
D 3/4
Explanation

The scalar projection of a on b is (a.b)/|b|. Here a.b=2*1+(-1)*2+2*2=4 and |b|=sqrt(1+4+4)=3. Hence the required projection is 4/3.

Q4Let A be a non-singular matrix of order 3 and det(A) = 4. What is det(2 adj A)?

A 64
B 128
C 16
D 32
Explanation

For a non-singular matrix of order n, det(adj A) = det(A)^(n - 1). Here n = 3, so det(adj A) = 4^2 = 16. Since adj A is also 3 x 3, det(2 adj A) = 2^3 det(adj A) = 8 x 16 = 128.

Q5Let A = {1, 2, 3}, B = {2, 3, 4, 5} and R = {(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 4)} be a relation from A to B. What are the domain and range of R respectively?

A {1, 2, 3} and {2, 3, 4}
B {1, 2, 3} and {2, 3, 4, 5}
C {2, 3, 4} and {1, 2, 3}
D {1, 2} and {3, 4}
Explanation

In a relation written as ordered pairs, the domain consists of all first entries and the range consists of all second entries that actually occur. Thus domain = {1, 2, 3} and range = {2, 3, 4}.
