JEE (Main)-2023 (Online) Phase-2

(Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry)

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS:

(1) The test is of 3 hours duration.

(2) The Test Booklet consists of 90 questions. The maximum marks are 300.

(3) There are three parts in the question paper consisting of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry

having 30 questions in each part of equal weightage. Each part (subject) has two sections.

(i) Section-A: This section contains 20 multiple choice questions which have only one correct

answer. Each question carries 4 marks for correct answer and –1 mark for wrong answer.

(ii) Section-B: This section contains 10 questions. In Section-B, attempt any five questions out

of 10. The answer to each of the questions is a numerical value. Each question carries 4 marks

for correct answer and –1 mark for wrong answer. For Section-B, the answer should be

rounded off to the nearest integer.

is (x loge x) f(x) + (loge x) f(x) + f(x)  1, x  [2, 4]
(1) 10 (2) 8  d [x lnx f(x) – x]  0 OR d (x lnx  f(x))  1
(3) 12 (4) 9  h(x) = x lnx f(x) – x 
Answer (4)  h(x)  h(2) , x  [2, 4]
Sol. 3cos4 – 5cos2 – 2sin6 +2=0 x lnx f(x) – x  2 ln2f(2) – 2
 cos2[3cos2 – 5] – 2sin6 + 2 = 0  x lnx f(x) – x  ln2 – 2, x lnx f(x) – x  ln4 – 4
 (1 – sin2) (3 – 3sin2 – 5) – 2sin6 + 2=0 So,
 (sin2 – 1) (3sin2 + 2) – 2sin6 + 2=0 ln2 − 2 1 ln 4 − 4 1
+  f (x)  +
Let sin2 =t x ln x ln x x ln x ln x

(t – 1) (3t + 2) – 2t3 + 2 = 0 f(x)  1

(t – 1) [3t + 2 – 2 (t2 + t + 1)] = 0 1

& f (x) 
8
(t – 1) [2t2 – t] = 0
Hence both A & B are correct.

t = 0, 1 , But LMVT on f(x)  x lnx can’t be satisfied. Hence no
