Question 23.
Count the number of positive integers greater than 6000 and less than 7000 which are divisible by 5, provided that no digits are repeated.
Answer:
The required numbers is = 1 × 8 × 7 × 2
= 112

Question 24.
Find the separate equations from a combined equation of a straight line 2x² + xy- 3y² = 0
Answer:
The combined equation is 2x² +xy – 3y² = 0
Tamil Nadu 11th Maths Previous Year Question Paper March 2019 English Medium 4
Factorizing (2) (-3) = -6
2x² + xy – 3y² = 2x² – 2xy + 3xy – 3y²
= 2x(x – y) + by (x – y) = (2x + by) (x – y)
∴ 2x² + xy – by² = 0 ⇒ (2x + 3y) (x – y) = 0
So the separate equations are 2x + 3y = 0; x – y = 0

Question 31.
A football player can kick a football from ground level with an initial velocity (u) of 80 ft/second. Find the maximum horizontal distance the football travels and at what angle
Take R = \(\frac{u² sin 2α}{g}\), and g = 32
Answer:
Tamil Nadu 11th Maths Previous Year Question Paper March 2019 English Medium 7
Maximum distance = 200ft
The required angle is \(\frac{π}{4}\)

Question 32.
Find the coefficient of x3 in the expansion of (2 – 3x)7.
Answer:
The general term is (2 – 3x)7 is tr + 1 = 7Cr (2)7 – r (-3x)r
= 7Cr (2)7 – r (-3x)r (x)r
So the co-efficient of xr is 7Cr (2)7 – r (-3)r
To find co-efficient of x³
equate r to 3 (i.e.,) r = 3
∴ co-efficient of x³ is 7Cr (2)7 – 3 (-3)3
= \(\frac{7×6×5}{3×2×1}\) (2)4 (-27)
= 7 × 5 × (16) (-27)
= -15120

Question 33.
Find the nearest point on the line x – 2y – 5 from the origin.
Answer:
Tamil Nadu 11th Maths Previous Year Question Paper March 2019 English Medium 8
x = 1, y = -2
Nearest point is (x1, y1) = (1, -2)

Question 34.
Prove that square matrix can be expressed as the sum of a symmetric matrix and a skew-symmetric matrix.
Answer:
Let A be a square matrix. Then A = \(\frac{1}{2}\)(A + AT) + \(\frac{1}{2}\)(A – AT)
We know that, (A + AT) is a symmetric, (A – AT) is a skew-symmetric
A can be written as sum of a symmetric skew symmetric matrices.

Question 35.
If \(\vec { a }\) , \(\vec { b }\), \(\vec { c }\) are three vectors such that \(\vec { a }\) + 2\(\vec { b }\) + \(\vec { c }\) = 0, and |\(\vec { a }\)|=3, |\(\vec { b }\)| =4, |\(\vec { c }\)| =7, find the angle between \(\vec { a }\) and \(\vec { b }\).
Answer:
\(\vec { a }\) + 2\(\vec { b }\) + \(\vec { c }\) = 0
∴ \(\vec { a }\) + 2\(\vec { b }\) = \(\vec { c }\)
squaring on both sides
(\(\vec { a }\) + 2\(\vec { b }\))² = c²
a² + 4b² + 4\(\vec { a }\)\(\vec { b }\) = c²
3² + 4(4²) + 4 \(\vec { a }\) \(\vec { b }\) = 7²
9 + 64 + 4\(\vec { a }\) \(\vec { b }\) = 49
4\(\vec { a }\) \(\vec { b }\) = 49 – 73 = -24
\(\vec { a }\) \(\vec { b }\) = –\(\frac {24}{4}\) = -6
|\(\vec { a }\)| |\(\vec { b }\)| cos θ = -6 ⇒ (3) (4) cos θ = -6
⇒ cos θ = –\(\frac {6}{12}\) = –\(\frac {1}{2}\) ⇒ θ = π – \(\frac {π}{3}\) = \(\frac {2π}{3}\)

Question 36.
Examine the continuity of the function cot x + tan x.
Answer:
Let f (x) = cot x + tan x
cot x is continuous in R – nπ
tan x is continuous in R – (n + 1) \(\frac {π}{2}\)
∴ f(x) is continuous in R – \(\frac {nπ}{2}\), (n∈Z)

Question 37.

Answer:
Tamil Nadu 11th Maths Previous Year Question Paper March 2019 English Medium 9

Question 38.
find \(\frac {dy}{dx}\) if x = a (t – sin t), y = a(1 – cos t)
Answer:
x = a (t – sin t) ⇒ \(\frac {dy}{dx}\) = a(1 – cos t)
y = a(1 – cos t) ⇒ \(\frac {dy}{dt}\) = a(sin t)

= nC0 (a – b)n + nC1 (a – b)n-1b1 + nC2 (a – b)n-2b² + ……. + nCn-1, (a – b) bn-1+ nCn(bn)
⇒ an – bn = (a – b)n + nC1 (a – b)n-1b + nC2 (a – b)n-2b²) + …….. + nCn-1 (a – b) bn-1
= (a – b) [(a – b)n-1 + nC1 (a – b)n-2b + nC2 (a – b)n-3b² + …….. + nCn-1 bn-1]
= (a – b) [an integer]
