Phase space diagrams are useful tools in analyzing all kinds of dynamical problems. They are
especially useful in studying the changes in motion as initial position and momentum are changed.
Here we consider some simple dynamical systems in one-dimension. For such systems, phase space
is a plane in which position is plotted along horizontal axis and momentum is plotted along vertical
axis. The phase space diagram is x(t) vs. p(t) curve in this plane. The arrow on the curve indicates
the time flow. For example, the phase space diagram for a particle moving with constant velocity is a
straight line as shown in the figure. We use the sign convention in which position or momentum

upwards (or to right) is positive and downwards (or to left) is negative.

46) Let centre of the rectangular hyperbola (H) be P(h,k) So, centroid of quadrilateral

(G is same as midpoint of centres of circle & rectangular hyperbola)

It lies on 3x – 4y + 1 = 0

so,
3h – 4k + 2 = 0 ...(A)
Let the four concyclic points at which normals to rectangular hyperbola are concurrect are
A(x1,y1), B(x2,y2),C(x3,y3) and D(x4,y4) and centre of circle be (h,k)

∴ ....(1)

49) Maximum distance between L1 and L2 is

50) First family of lines : (4x + y – 9) + a(x + 2y – 4) = 0

∴ A(2,1)
second family of lines :
p(x + 4y – 9) + q(2x + y – 4) = 0
∴ B(1,2)
common line passes through A & B
⇒ common line is x + y = 3

56) Triangles with vertices on AB, BC and CD are

Triangles with vertices on AB, BC and DA are

Triangles with vertices on AB, CD and DA are

Triangles with vertices on BC, CD and DA are

Total no. of triangles = 60 + 72 + 90 + 120 = 342

57) End digits in power of 3 and 7 repeat in cycle of 4

So the numbers {1,2,3,...,20} can be divided into 4 sets

4k types {4,8,12,16,20} = A
4k + 1 type {1,5,9,13,17} = B
4k + 2 type {2,6,10,14,18} = C
4k + 3 type {3,7,11,15,19} = D
Now is divisible by 10, if end digit of the number is 0.
Thus if then , if then
if then , if then
So, desired number of ordered pairs (m, n)
