3. Let    ,  , then which of the following statement is true?
4 2
(a) (sinθ) cosθ < (cosθ) cosθ < (cosθ) sinθ
(b) (cosθ) cosθ < (cosθ) sinθ < (sinθ) cosθ
(c) (cosθ) sinθ < (cosθ) cosθ < (sinθ) cosθ
(d) (cosθ) cosθ < (sinθ) cosθ < (cosθ) sinθ

Ans: (c)
Solution:
For    / 4,  / 2  , we have
1
0  cos    sin   1
2
So, (cosθ) sinθ < (cosθ) cosθ and (cosθ) cosθ < (cosθ) cosθ combining we get
(cosθ) sinθ < (cosθ) cosθ < (sinθ) cosθ

4. If the sequence bn  n  1, satisfies the recurrence relation bn 1  5bn  12n  15, n  1. Also
b1 = 25. Then b100 equal
(a) 5102 – 300
(b) 5101 – 300
(c) 5102 – 297
(d) 5101 – 297.

Ans: (d)
Solution:
The recursion relation for the sequence bn 1  5bn  12n  15
Can be transformed, with some effort, as
bn1  3n  5bn  3  n  1
Then we can apply the idea of G.P. to obtain

bn 1  3n  5n.b1  5n.25  5n  2
bn 1  1  5n  2  3n
b100  5101  3  99
 5101  297

When incidentt ray is rotatedd by an angle  the reflecteed ray also rootates by  in opposite sensse.

Here mirror rotates

Solution:
We should consider velocities components along the normal to mirror only. Here normal is
along x-axis.

Components along normal (i.e., along x-axis):

We can use
Velocity of image wrt mirror = – (velocity of object wrt mirror)
vim  vom
Again,
vom  vmg  vog
 vom  vog  vmg
 vom  vog  vmg
 vom  2  1  1 cm/s
Therefore, vim  vom  1 cm/s

Now, vim  vom  1 cm/s

vig  vim  vmg  1 cm/s + 1 cm/s
 vig  0
(Notations: i for image, o for object, m for mirror, g for ground)

Components along y-axis:

As y axis is perpendicular to the normal, we have
vig  vog  5 cm/s

Components along z-axis:

As z axis is perpendicular to the normal, we have
vig  vog  6 cm/s

So the velocity vector of the image is 0i  5 j  6k cm/s 
