[∵ C1 and C2 are identical ] ( an+1 )2 = an  an+2
2. (2)  2log an+1 = log an + log an+2
Applying R1 → R1 − R2 , R2 → R2 − R3 , we get Similarly,
2log an+4 = log an+3 + log an+5
−4 − 2 2 −2 2 0 2log an+7 = log an+6 + log an+8
Δ= 4 2 4 2 0
Substituting these values in second column of
3− 2 2 2−2 2 1 determinant, we get

Δ = log an+3 log an+3 + log an+5 log an+5 = ( 0) = 0
= −16 2 2 2
log an+6 log an+6 + log an+8 log an+8
3. (4)
Applying C1 → C1 + C2 + C3 6. (3)
Using C1→ C1 + C2 + C3
a+b+c− x c b
sin x + 2cos x cos x cos x
a+b+c− x b− x a =0
Δ = sin x + 2cos x sin x cos x
a+b+c− x a c−x
sin x + 2cos x cos x sin x
Given a + b + c = 0, then
−x c b 1 cos x cos x
−x b − x a =0 = (sin x + 2cos x) 1 sin x cos x
−x a c−x 1 cos x sin x

Applying R2→R2 – R1 and R3 → R3 – R1, we get

−1 c b 1 cos x cos x
x −1 b − x a =0 Δ = (sin x + 2cos x) 0 sin x − cos x 0
−1 a c−x 0 0 sin x − cos x
 Obviously one root is x = 0 = (sin x + 2cos x)(sin x − cos x)2
4. (2) Thus ∆ = 0
Given x,y,z are in A.P.,  sinx + 2cosx = 0 or (Sinx - Cosx)² =0
Then 2y = x + z tanx = − 2 , tanx = 1
Applying R1 →R1 + R3 − 2R2  
in the given As −  x  , We get −1  tan x  1
determinant 4 4

∴ tanx = 1  x=

7. (2) Dividing the equation by (a−1) (b−1) (c−1), we

Applying get

(c − z) +z =0
−x 0 −x y x2 − x − 2 = 0
(c − z)( xy) + z(ay + bx − xy) = 0 Sum of roots = 1

By using condition of concurrency 0 − 12 + 60i + 12 − 60i = x + iy
a 1 1 0 = x + iy
