55. The general solution of Differential

equation 2x dydx -y=3 is a family of

1)parabola 2)Hyperbola 3)circle 4)straight line

Ans: dy

3 y=dx

2x ⇒ log(3+y)=1/2 log

2x +logc ⇒ y+3= x c ⇒ (y+3)2 =xcAns is (1)56. If x= acos3 θ, y= asin3 θ then dydx =

1) 3 xy 2) 3 yx 3)-3 3 yx 4) −3 xydydx =

−3a sin2cos3a cos2 sin

= - tanθ

(by substituting y' and

simplifying) Ans is(4)Ans: Questions is lenghty

60. The set of real values of x for which

f(x)=x

logx is increasing is

1)empty 2){x: xe} 3){1} 4){x:x<e}Ans: Increasing ⇒ f'(x)>0 logex>1 ⇒ x>e

Ans is (2) Note: Here answer given is x2 but x=2 is stationary point. it must be x>e

Note: This is one of the tough CET question paper and many problems are lengthy and requires calculations.
