1. If A and B are symmetric matrices of the same order, then $\mathrm{AB}-\mathrm{BA}$ is a :

(1) symmetric matrix

(2) zero matrix

(3) skew symmetric matrix

(4) Identity matrix

Correct answer: (3) skew symmetric matrix

Solution:

For symmetric matrices A and B, the product $\mathrm{AB}$ and $\mathrm{BA}$ are not generally symmetric, but their difference $\mathrm{AB} - \mathrm{BA}$ is always skew-symmetric. A skew-symmetric matrix is one where $A^T = -A$. This property holds because the transpose of $\mathrm{AB} - \mathrm{BA}$ results in the negative of the matrix, confirming that it is skew-symmetric.

2. If A is a square matrix of order 4 and $|\mathrm{A}|=4$, then $|2 \mathrm{~A}|$ will be 1

(1) 8

(2) 64

(3) 16

(4) 4

Correct answer: (3) 16

Solution:

For a square matrix of order n, the determinant of a scaled matrix $|kA|$ is given by $|kA| = k^n |A|$, where $n$ is the order of the matrix. In this case, the matrix A is of order 4, so $|2A| = 2^4 \times |A| = 2^4 \times 4 = 16$.

3. If $[\mathrm{A}]_{3 \times 2}[\mathrm{~B}]_{x \times y}=[\mathrm{C}]_{3 \times 1}$, then :

(1) $x=1, y=3$

(2) $x=2, y=1$

(3) $x=3, y=3$

(4) $x=3, y=1$

Correct answer: (4) $x=3, y=1$

Solution:

For matrix multiplication to be valid, the number of columns in matrix A must match the number of rows in matrix B. Matrix A is 3×2, so B must have 2 rows. Furthermore, the product matrix C is 3×1, indicating B must have 1 column. Thus, $x = 3$ and $y = 1$.

4. If a function $f(x)=x^2+b x+1$ is increasing in the interval $[1,2]$, then the least value of $b$ is :

(1) 5

(2) 0

(3) -2

(4) -4

Correct answer: (3) -2
Solution:

To determine when the function is increasing, we first take the derivative of the function:
$f'(x) = 2x + b$.
For the function to be increasing in the interval $[1,2]$, $f'(x) \geq 0$ for all $x$ in this interval. At the left endpoint of the interval, $x = 1$, we have:
$f'(1) = 2(1) + b = 2 + b \geq 0$.
This implies $b \geq -2$. Therefore, the least value of $b$ for which the function is increasing on the interval is $b = -2$.

5. Two dice are thrown simultaneously. If X denotes the namber of fours, then the expectation of X will be:

(1) $\frac{5}{9}$

(2) $\frac{1}{3}$

(3) $\frac{4}{7}$

(4) $\frac{3}{8}$

Correct answer: (2) $\frac{1}{3}$

Solution:

The probability of getting a four on a single die throw is $\frac{1}{6}$, and since there are two dice, the expected value of X (the number of fours) is the sum of the probabilities of getting a four on either die. This is calculated as:

$\mathbb{E}[X] = \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{3}$.

6. For the function $f(x)=2 x^3-9 x^2+12 x-5, x \in[0,3]$, match List- $\mathbf{I}$ with List-II :

List-I

List-II

(A) Absolute maximum value

(IV) 4

(B) Absolute minimum value

(II) 0

(C) Point of maxima

(I) 3

(D) Point of minima

(III) -5

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

(1) A-IV,B-II,C-1,D-III

(2) A-II,B-III,C-I,D-IV

(3) A-IV,B-III,C-II,D-I

(4) A-IV,B-III,C-I,D-II

Correct answer: (1) A-IV, B-II, C-I, D-III

Solution:

To find the absolute maximum and minimum values of the function, we first take the derivative of the function:

$f'(x) = 6x^2 - 18x + 12$.

We find the critical points by setting $f'(x) = 0$, which gives $x = 1$ and $x = 2$. Evaluating the function at the critical points and endpoints ($x = 0$ and $x = 3$), we find that the absolute maximum is 4 at $x = 3$ and the absolute minimum is -5 at $x = 0$. The point of maxima is $x = 1$ and the point of minima is $x = 2$. Hence, the correct match is A-IV, B-II, C-I, D-III.

7. An objective function $Z=ax+by$ is maximum at points (8,2) and (4,6). If $a \geq0$ and $b \geq 0$ and $ab=25$, then the maximum value of the function is equal to:

(2) 50

(1) 60

(4) 80

(3) 40

Correct answer: (3) 40

Solution:

The function $Z = ax + by$ is maximized at the points (8, 2) and (4, 6). Substituting these values into the function gives:

At (8, 2), $Z = 8a + 2b$.

At (4, 6), $Z = 4a + 6b$.

Since $ab = 25$, we can solve these two equations to find the maximum value of $Z$.

8. The area of the region bounded by the lines $x+2 y=12, x=2, x=6$ and $x$-axis is :

(1) 34 sq units

(2) 20 sq units

(3) 24 sq units

(4) 16 sq units

Correct answer: (3) 24 sq units

Solution:

To find the area, first determine the points where the lines intersect the x-axis. The line $x + 2y = 12$ intersects the x-axis at $y = 0$, so $x = 12$. Thus, the triangle formed has vertices at $(2,0)$, $(6,0)$, and $(12,0)$. Using the formula for the area of a triangle $\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}$, we get an area of 24 square units.

9. A die is rolled thrice. What is the probability of getting a number greater than 4 in the first and the second throw of dice and a number less than 4 in the third throw ?

(1) $\frac{1}{3}$

(2) $\frac{1}{6}$

(3) $\frac{1}{9}$

(4) $\frac{1}{18}$

Correct answer: (3) $\frac{1}{9}$

Solution:

The probability of getting a number greater than 4 (i.e., 5 or 6) on a single die is $\frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}$. The probability of getting a number less than 4 (i.e., 1, 2, or 3) is $\frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}$. The total probability of getting a number greater than 4 on the first two rolls and a number less than 4 on the third roll is:

$\mathbb{P} = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{9}$.

10. The comer points of the feasible region determined by $x+y \leq 8,2 x+y \geq 8, x \geq 0, y \geq 0$

are $A(0,8), B(4,0)$ and $C(8,0)$. If the objective function $Z=a x+b y$ has its maximum value on the line segment $A B$, then the relation between $a$ and $b$ is :

(1) $8 a+4=b$

(2) $\mathrm{a}=2 \mathrm{~b}$

(3) $b=2 a$

(4) $8 b+4=a$

Correct answer: (2) $\mathrm{a}=2 \mathrm{b}$

Solution:

The line segment AB determines the boundary of the feasible region. The slope of this line is $-\frac{8}{4} = -2$. For the objective function $Z = ax + by$ to have its maximum on this line, the slope of the objective function must match the slope of the line segment. Therefore, the relation between $a$ and $b$ is $a = 2b$.

11. If $t=e^{2 x}$ and $y=\log _e t^2$, then $\frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}$ is :

(1) 0

(2) $4 t$

(3) $\frac{4 e^{2 t}}{t}$

(4) $\frac{e^{2 t}(4 t-1)}{t^2}$

Correct answer: (3) $\frac{4}{3}$

Solution:

The slope of a line is given by the coefficient of $x$ when the equation is written in the form $y = mx + c$, where $m$ is the slope. Rearranging the given equation $4x - 3y = 12$ into slope-intercept form:

$-3y = -4x + 12$,

$y = \frac{4}{3}x - 4$.

So, the slope $m$ is $\frac{4}{3}$.

12. $\int \frac{\pi}{x^{n+1}-x} d x=$

(1) $\frac{\pi}{n} \log _e\left|\frac{x^n-1}{x^n}\right|+C$

(2) $\log _e\left|\frac{x^n+1}{x^n-1}\right|+C$

(3) $\frac{\pi}{n} \log _e\left|\frac{x^n+1}{x^n}\right|+C$

(4) $\pi \log _e\left|\frac{x^n}{x^n-1}\right|+C$

Correct answer: (3) 5

Solution:

The distance between two points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ is given by the formula:

$d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$.

Substituting the coordinates of points A and B:

$d = \sqrt{(5 - 2)^2 + (7 - 3)^2} = \sqrt{3^2 + 4^2} = \sqrt{9 + 16} = \sqrt{25} = 5$.

13. The value of $\int_0^1 \frac{a-b x^2}{\left(a+b x^2\right)^2} d x$ is :

(1) $\frac{a-b}{a+b}$

(2) $\frac{1}{a-b}$

(3) $\frac{a+b}{2}$

(4) $\frac{1}{a+b}$

Correct answer: (1) $\frac{5}{3}$

Solution:

The sum of the solutions of a quadratic equation $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$ is given by $-\frac{b}{a}$. For the equation $3x^2 - 5x + 2 = 0$, we have $a = 3$, $b = -5$, and $c = 2$. Therefore, the sum of the solutions is:

$-\frac{-5}{3} = \frac{5}{3}$.

14. The second order derivative of which of the following functions is $5^x$ ?

(1) $5^x \log _e 5$

(2) $5^x\left(\log _e 5\right)^2$

(3) $\frac{5^x}{\log _e 5}$

(4) $\frac{5^x}{\left(\log _e 5\right)^2}$

Correct answer: (4) $f'(c) = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}$

Solution:

This is a statement of the Mean Value Theorem. It states that if a function is continuous on a closed interval $[a, b]$ and differentiable on the open interval $(a, b)$, then there exists at least one point $c \in (a, b)$ such that:

$f'(c) = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}$.

15. The degree of the differential equation $\left(1-\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)^2\right)^{3 / 2}=k \frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}$ is :

(1) 1

(2) 2

(3) 3

(4) $\frac{3}{2}$

Correct answer: (2) 4
Solution:

The formula for the area of a triangle with vertices $(x_1, y_1)$, $(x_2, y_2)$, and $(x_3, y_3)$ is:
$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \left| x_1(y_2 - y_3) + x_2(y_3 - y_1) + x_3(y_1 - y_2) \right|$.
Substituting the coordinates of the vertices $(0, 0)$, $(2, 0)$, and $(2, 4)$:
$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \left| 0(0 - 4) + 2(4 - 0) + 2(0 - 0) \right| = \frac{1}{2} \left| 0 + 8 + 0 \right| = \frac{1}{2} \times 8 = 4$.

Hello,

You cannot get admission to engineering courses in Delhi University (DU) through CUET scores .

DU offers engineering courses under its Faculty of Technology, and admissions to these courses are based on JEE Main scores, not CUET.

Hope it helps !

Hello,

Delhi University (DU) offers various engineering courses under its Department of Technology.

Admission to these courses is primarily based on the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main scores. However, some courses may also consider CUET (Common University Entrance Test) scores for admission.

The exact number of seats filled through CUET scores can vary each year and are not publicly disclosed.

Hope it helps !

Admissions for CUET aren't solely based on 2 Non-Med Percentage along with JEE Mains percentile. The eligibility criteria for CUET require students to have scored at least 50% marks in their Class 12th exam for general candidates and 45% for reserved categories.


Additionally, CUET has its own exam pattern, which includes multiple-choice questions divided into three sections:

- Section 1: Language proficiency(English/Hindi/regional languages)

- Section 2: Domain-specific subjects

- Section 3: General Aptitude


It's also important to note that while JEE Mains is a separate entrance exam, some universities may consider both CUET and JEE Mains scores for admission to certain programs. However, the specific admission criteria may vary depending on the university and course.


To confirm the admission criteria for your desired course, I recommend checking the official websites of the participating universities or contacting them directly.

Yes, if the CUET UG application form does not ask for the 10th marksheet upload and only requires a photograph and signature, your application should still be considered valid. Since you are currently appearing for the 12th exams, the system may not require additional documents at this stage. However, double-check the official guidelines or contact CUET support to confirm.

A PG (Postgraduate) degree in Forensic Science, specifically an M.Sc. in Forensic Science, is a two-year program that provides specialized knowledge and skills in the scientific analysis and application of techniques for collecting and analyzing evidence to solve crimes.
