Solution :
Word ‘MEDITERRANEAN’ has 2A, 2E, 1D, 1I, 1M, 2N, 2R, 1T.
Out of four letters E and R is fixed and rest of the two letters can be chosen in following ways :

2!C 3
2!
Case II Both letters are of different kinds i.e. 8C2 ways,
therefore number of words = 8C2 2! = 56
Hence, total number of words = 56 + 3 = 59

We know that, in a right angled, the circumcentre of the mid-point of hypotenuse.
Mid-point of AC = 8 2 6 2
, 5,22 2
Hence, the required circumcentre is (5, 2).
28. If orthocentre and circumcentre of a triangle are respectively (1, 1) and (3, 2), then the coordinates of
its centroid are
(a) 7 5

(b) 5 7
,3 3
(c) (7, 5) (d) none of these
Ans. (a)
Solution:
We know that, centroid divides the line segment joining orthocentre and circumcentre in the ratio 2 :
1. Since, the coordinates of orthocentre are (1, 1) and (3, 2), respectively.
The coordinates of centroid are

Ans. (d)
Solution:
A straight line perpendicular to 2x + y = 3 is
2y – x + c = 0 …(i)
Since, it passes through (1, 1).
2(1) – 1 + c = 0 c = – 1
On putting c = – 1 in Eq. (i), we get
2y x 1 0 2y x 1 y x

(b) Since, (2, 3) R but (3, 2) R . So, R is not symmetric.
(d) Since, (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4) R . So, R is not reflexive.
Hence, the option (c) is correct.

39. If the equations x2 + 2x + 3 = 0 and ax2 + bx + c = 0, a, b, c R, have a common root, then a : b : c is
(a) 1 :2 : 3 (b) 3 : 2 : 1 (c) 1 : 3 : 2 (d) 3 : 1 : 2
Ans. (a)
Solution:
Given equations ARE
x2 + 2x + 3 = 0 ..(i)
and ax2 + bx + c = 0 ..(ii)
Since, Eq. (i) has imaginary roots.
So, Eq. (ii) will also have both roots same as Eq. (i).
Thus, a b c

Since, one of the roots of equation x2 + px + 12 = 0 is 4.
16 + 4p + 12 = 0
4p = – 28
p = – 7
So, the other equation is x2 – 7x + q = 0 whose roots are equal. Let the roots are and .

43. Three straight lines 2x + 11y – 5 = 0, 24x + 7y – 20 = 0 and 4x – 3y – 2 = 0
(a) form a triangle
(b) are only concurrent
(c) are concurrent with one line bisecting the angle between the other two
(d) None of the above
Ans. (c)
Solution :
