36. (i) $x^3-27$ (ii) (x -1)(x-2)

(iii) $\frac{1}{x^2}$ (iv) $\frac{x+1}{x-1}$

A.4.(i) Given, $f(x)=x^3-27.$

So, $f^{\prime }(x)=\frac{\underset{h\to 0}{lim}f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}$

$=\underset{h\to 0}{lim}\frac{\left[{(x+h)}^3-27\right]-\left[x^3-27\right]}{h}$

$=\underset{h\to 0}{lim}\frac{x^3+h^3+3xh(x+h)-27-x^3+27}{h}$

$=\underset{h\to 0}{lim}\frac{h\left(h^2+3x(x+h)\right)}{h}$

$=\underset{h\to 0}{lim}{h}^2+3x(x+h)$

=0+3 x(x+ 0)

=3x²

(ii) Given, f(x) =(x-1)(x-2)

=x²- 3x+2

So, $f^{\prime }(x)=\underset{h\to 0}{lim}\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}$

$\underset{h\to 0}{lim}\frac{\left[{(x+h)}^2-3(x+h)+2\right]-\left[x^2-3x+2\right]}{h}$

= $\underset{h\to 0}{lim}\frac{x^2+h^2+2xh-3x-3h+2-x^2+3x-2}{h}$

= $\underset{h\to 0}{lim}\frac{h(h+2x-3)}{h}$

$=\underset{h\to 0}{lim}h+2x-3$

= 2x – 3.

(iii) Given, f(x)= $\frac{1}{x^2}$

So, $f^{\prime }(x)=\underset{h\to 0}{lim}\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}$

$=\underset{h\to 0}{lim}\frac{\frac{1}{{(x+h)}^2}-\frac{1}{x^2}}{h}$

$=\frac{\underset{h\to 0}{lim}\frac{x^2-{(x+h)}^2}{{(x+h)}^2-x^2}}{h}$

$=\underset{h\to 0}{lim}\frac{x^2-x^2-h^2-2xh}{h{x}^2(x+h){}^2}$ $$

$=\underset{h\to 0}{lim}\frac{h(-h-2x)}{h{x}^2(x+h){}^2}$

$=\underset{h\to 0}{lim}\frac{-h-2x}{x^2(x+h){}^2}$

$=\frac{-0-2x}{x^2(x+0){}^2}$

$=\frac{-2x}{x^4}$

$=\frac{-2}{x^3}$

(iv) Given, f(x)= $\frac{x+1}{x-1}$

$f(x)=\underset{h\to 0}{lim}\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}$

$=\underset{h\to 0}{lim}\frac{1}{h}\left[\frac{fx+h+1}{x+h-1}-\frac{x+1}{x-1}\right]$

$=\underset{h\to 0}{lim}\frac{1}{h}\left[\frac{(x+h+1)(x-1)-(x+1)(x+h-1)}{(x+h-1)(x-1)}\right]$

$=\underset{h\to 0}{lim}\frac{1}{h}\left[\frac{x^2-x+hx-h+x-1-x^2-hx+x-x-h+1}{(x-1)(x+h-1)}\right]$

$=\underset{h\to 0}{lim}\frac{1}{h}\left[\frac{-2h}{(x-1)(x+h-1)}\right]$

$=\underset{h\to 0}{lim}\frac{-2}{(x-1)(x+h-1)}$

$=\frac{-2}{(x-1)(x-1)}=\frac{-2}{{(x-1)}^2}$

41. In the 13 letter word ASSASSINATION there are 3-A, 4-S, 2-I, 2-N, 1-T and 1-O.

Since all the S are to be occurred together we treat them i.e. (SSSS) as single object. This single object together with 13 – 4 = 9 remaining object will account for 10 objects having 3-A, 2-I, 2-N, 1-T and 1-O and can be rearranged in $\frac{10!}{3!2!2!}$

= 10 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6 * 5

= 151200

40. In a class of 25 students, 10 students are to be selected for excursion. As 3 students decided that either all of them will join or none of them will join we have the options:

For the 3 students to be selected along with 7 other students from the remaining 25 – 3 = 22 students. This can be done in ³C₃*²²C₇ ways.

For the 3 students to not be selected so that all 10 students will be from the remaining 25 – 3 = 22 students. This can be done in ³C₀*²²C₁₀ ways.

Therefore, the required number of ways

= ³C₃* ²²C₇ + ³C₀*²²C₁₀

= ²²C₇ + ²²C₁₀

35. Given, f (x)= 99x, f   (100)=?

So, f (100)= ${}_{h\to 0}\frac{f(100+h)-f(100)}{h}$

$=\underset{h\to 0}{lim}\frac{99(100+h)-99(100)}{h}$

$=\underset{h\to 0}{lim}\frac{99\times 100+99\times h-99\times 100}{h}$

$=\underset{h\to 0}{lim}\frac{99h}{h}$

$=\underset{h\to 0}{lim}99$

=99

34. Given, f (x)=x, f   (1)=?

We have,

$f^{\prime }(1)=\underset{h\to 0}{lim}\frac{f(1+h)-f(1)}{h}$

$$ $=\underset{h\to 0}{lim}\frac{1+h-1}{h}$

$=\underset{h\to 0}{lim}\frac{h}{h}$

$=\underset{h\to 0}{lim}1$

=1

Hostel facilities are readily available for the students of BSc course and other course of that the Gokul Global University. The students have to additionally pay for the opted hostel facilities. The range of hostel fee is from INR 1.45 Lacs to INR 1.8 Lakh depending upon the chosen facilities.

39. As out of the total 9 seats 4 women are to be at even places we can have the following arrangement.

Seat places

Also from this arrangement the women and men can rearrange among themselves.

Therefore, the required number of ways = 4! * 5!

= (4 * 3 * 2 * 1) * (5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1)

= 24 * 120

= 2880

The course fees for two years MBA in KTU - APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University ranges from INR 60,000 to INR 9 lakh. The MBA course is offered via the university's affiliated colleges, and hence the fees might vary across the colleges. KTU MBA fees might include components other than the tuition fee. Candidates who qualify for admission through the admission process are eligible to pay the course fee and get admission to the course.

38. In a deck of 52 card there are four kings.

So, number of ways of selecting exactly one king is ⁴C_1.

Now, after fixing one king card, we need to have the remaining 4 out of 5 cards to be a non-king i.e., only from the other 48 cards. So, number of ways of selecting is ⁴⁸C₄

Therefore, the required number of ways

= ⁴C₁*⁴⁸C₄

For candidates in the General category, IIT Bombay's dual B.Tech + MBA program (through SJMSOM) requires a CAT score in the 90th percentile. The 2025 composite score cutoff for final admission was approximately 48.27 for males and 44.64 for females in the General/EWS category; OBC, SC, ST, and PWD candidates had lower thresholds.

33. Given, f (x)=x²- 2 ., $f^{\prime }(10)=?$

We have,  

$f^{\prime }(10)=\underset{h\to 0}{lim}\frac{f(10+h)-f(10)}{h}$

$=\underset{h\to 0}{lim}\frac{\left[{(10+h)}^2-2\right]-\left[10^2-2\right]}{h}$

= $\underset{h\to 0}{lim}\frac{10^2+h^2+20h-2-10^2+2}{h}$

= $\underset{h\to 0}{lim}\frac{h(h+20)}{h}$

$\Rightarrow \underset{h\to 0}{lim}h+20$

=20

32. Given, f (x) = $\begin{array}{l}\{\begin{array}{ll}m{x}^2+n,\hfill & x<0\hfill \\ nx+m,\hfill & 0\le x\le 1\hfill \end{array}\\ n{x}^3+m,x>1.\end{array}$

For $\underset{x\to 0}{lim}f(x)\underset{x\to 0^{-}}{lim,}f(x)=\underset{x\to 0^{+}}{lim}f(x)$

$\Rightarrow \underset{x\to 0^{-}}{lim}\left(m{x}^2+n\right)=\underset{x\to 0^{+}}{lim}\left(m{x}^3+m\right)$

n = m

So, $\underset{x\to 0}{lim}f(x)$ exist for n = m.

Again, $\underset{x\to 1^{-}}{lim}f(x)=\underset{x\to 1^{-}}{lim}nx+m=n+m.$

$\underset{x\to 1^{+}}{lim}f(x)=\underset{x\to 1^{+}}{lim}n{x}^3+m=n+m$

So, $\underset{x\to 1^{-}}{lim}f(x)=\underset{x\to 1^{+}}{lim}f(x)=\underset{x\to 1^{-}}{lim}f(x)=n+m,$ Thus, $\underset{x\to 1}{lim}f(x)$ exist for any integral value of m and n.
