Q1. If the curves y=f(x) and y=g(x) intersect each other orthogonally at some point P, then at P
(a) f and g may be increasing
(b) f and g may be decreasing
(c) f and g may have opposite monotonity
(d) NOT

Q2. A/R
Statement 1 : 1+2a+3a^2+4a^3+...+(n-1)a^{n-2} = (a-a^2)(a-a^3)(a-a^4)...(a-a^{n-1})
Statement 2 : lal = 1

1) c ?

since orthogonal

d(f(x))dxat P*d(g(x))dxat P=-1

now

two cases may be der

d(f(x))dxat P can be negative and d(g(x))dxat P must be +ve

or

vice versa

so they hav opposite monotonocity

2) statement 2 false

i guess it shud be must hav instead of may hav :P

so NOT

1. what if one of the derivatives was 0 at the pt of intersection?
I think may comes into picture there.

firstly one of deravative cant be 0

Two curves intersect orthogonally when their tangent lines at each point of intersection are perpendicular.

so m1* m2 need to be -1

so any of m1 m2 cant be 0

actully c option has may have opposite monotonity

if it had ...must hav then C wud hav been correct

so NON of these

for second

substitute n=3

u can see statement 2 is false

che.. see this example

r u sure?

infact
curve 1 is decreasing
and
curve 2 is increasing at point of intersection

106
Asish Mahapatra ·

at the point of intersection .... you cant say it is decreasing (strictly) isnt it?

Or else let curve (1) = x2

ok ya i agree if function was x^2

but then ans shud be C

this IS fiitjee isnt it.. (last yrs full test question)

so mistakes can b der na?

Asish Mahapatra ·

waht abt 2??

ans given (a)

1
Che ·

well i dun hav any soln for 2nd

but u can alwys substitute :P

substitute n=3

so u can see statement second is false

may be i m rong
