Answer Key & Solution

1. (A) 7. (C)
log0.3(x –1) < log(0.3)2 (x −1) log1/3(x2 + x + 1) > – 1

 log0.3(x – 1) < log0.3(x – 1)1/2  x2 + x – 2 < 0
 (x – 1) > (x – 1)1/2  (x – 1) (x + 2) < 0
 (x – 1)2 > (x – 1)  x  (–2, 1)
 (x – 1)2 – (x – 1) > 0 8. (B)
 (x – 1) (x – 1 – 1) > 0
3x − 2 + 4x + 4 = 5x + 1 + 4x − 5
 (x – 1) (x – 2) > 0
 x < 1 or x > 2 …(2) u − v2 = x + 6 = p2 − q2

We have, =
12 n (3m + 1)(3n −1) = 3n2 −1, So if p divides
 mn = 144
3n −1 , then it also divides 3n 2 − 1 and
 mn = 24 × 32
Total number of divisor of 144 is ( )
Hence also 3n 2 − 1 − n ( 3n − 1) = n − 1 , and
( 4 +1)( 2 +1) = 15 hence also (3n −1) − 3( n −1) = 2 .
When m and n are positive integers. So 3n −1 = 0, 1 or 2 .
If m and n are negative integers, then also But n must be an integer, so 0,1, −2 do not
number of divisor is 15.
work. -1 gives n = 0 and hence m = 0 ,

are integers = 15 + 15 = 30 m = 0 , which is a solution.

12. (D) So, number of solutions = 2

We have,
x + 3 − 4 x −1 + x + 8 − 6 x −1 = 1
 ( x − 1)2 − 2 ( 2 ) x − 1 + (2)2

+ ( x − 1)2 − 2  3 x − 1 + (3)2 = 1

 ( x − 1 − 2)2 + ( x − 1 − 3)2 = 1
 x −1 − 2 + x −1 − 3 = 1 x  [5, 10] 15. (B)
We have, f ( x ) = 4 − 2x + 5
x −1 − 2 − x −1 + 3 = 1
f(x) is defined if
1:1
4 − 2x + 5  0 and 2x + 5  0
Hence, x has infinite solutions in x 5,10 .
13. (A)  4  2x + 5 and x  −5 / 2
