    Solution

    \[ \begin{aligned} & \mathrm{n} \in\{1,2,3,4,5,6\} \\ & \Delta=\left|\begin{array}{ccc} 1 & -\mathrm{n} & 1 \\ 1 & \mathrm{n}-2 & \mathrm{n}+1 \\ 0 & \mathrm{n}-1 & 1 \end{array}\right| \\ & \Delta=-(\mathrm{n}-1)(\mathrm{n}-2) \end{aligned} \]

    For unique solution $\Delta \neq 0 \Rightarrow \mathrm{n} \neq 1, \mathrm{n} \neq 2$
    favourable cases $\mathrm{n}=\{3,4,5,6\}$
    Required Probability $=\frac{4}{6}=\frac{\mathrm{k}}{6}$

    \[ \mathrm{k}=4, \mathrm{n}=3,4,5,6 \]

    required sum $=4+3+4+5+6=22$ Answer(4)

    Solution

    \[ \begin{aligned} & 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 \\ & \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{~S})={ }^{10} \mathrm{C}_{4} \times 1=\frac{10 \cdot 9 \cdot 8 \cdot 7}{24}=210 \\ & \mathrm{xyzwt}=20 \end{aligned} \]

    Case I: 5,4,1,1,1
    Such numbers formed $=\frac{5!}{3!}=\frac{120}{6}=20$
    Case II: 5,2,2,1,1
    Such numbers formed $=\frac{5!}{2!2!}=\frac{120}{4}=30$

    Solution

    Using 5,5,1,2,7,8,6,4 digits

    \[ \begin{aligned} & \mathrm{x}=\underset{\substack{\text { Repeating } \\ \text { digit }}}{{ }^{9} \mathrm{C}_{1}} \times \underset{\text { Non repeating }}{{ }^{8} \mathrm{C}_{7}} \times\left(\frac{9!}{2!}\right) \\ & \mathrm{x}=9.8 \frac{9!}{2!}=36(9!) \end{aligned} \]

    Using 1,1,7,7,4,2,5,6,9 digits

    \[ \mathrm{y}=\underset{\substack{\text { repeating } \\ \text { digits }}}{{ }^{9} \mathrm{C}_{2}} \times{ }_{\substack{\text { Non-repeating } \\ \text { digits }}}^{{ }^{7} \mathrm{C}_{5}} \times \frac{9!}{2!2!} \]
    \[ \begin{aligned} & y=\left(\frac{9.8}{2}\right)\left(\frac{7.6}{2}\right)\left(\frac{9!}{2!2!}\right)=9(7) 3.9! \\ & \frac{x}{y}=\frac{36(9!)}{9(7)(3) 9!} \Rightarrow \frac{x}{y}=\frac{4}{21} \Rightarrow 21 x=4 y \text { Answer }(3) \end{aligned} \]

    Solution

    First Method:

    \[ \mathrm{S}=\{1,2,3,4, \ldots, 10,11\} \]

    even no →2,4,6,8,10
    odd no →1,3,5,7,9,11
    Total subsets $=2^{11}$
    No of subsets such that product of numbers is $\mathrm{odd}=2^{6}$
    No of subsets such that product of number is even $=2^{11}-2^{6}=2048-64=1984$ required no of subsets $=1984-(\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{B})=1$ \& Product is even $)$

    \[ =1984-5=1979 \text { Ans. } \]

    Second Method:

    \[ \begin{array}{ll} \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{~B})=2, & \quad{ }^{11} \mathrm{C}_{2}-{ }^{6} \mathrm{C}_{2} \text { (all are odds) } \\ \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{~B})=3, & { }^{11} \mathrm{C}_{3}-{ }^{6} \mathrm{C}_{3} \text { (all are odds) } \\ \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{~B})=4, & { }^{11} \mathrm{C}_{4}-{ }^{6} \mathrm{C}_{4} \text { (all are odds) } \\ \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{~B})=5, & { }^{11} \mathrm{C}_{5}-{ }^{6} \mathrm{C}_{5} \text { (all are odds) } \\ \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{~B})=6, & { }^{11} \mathrm{C}_{6}-{ }^{6} \mathrm{C}_{6} \text { (all are odds) } \\ \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{~B})=7, & { }^{11} \mathrm{C}_{7}-0 \\ \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{~B})=8 & { }^{11} \mathrm{C}_{8} \\ \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{~B})=9, & { }^{11} \mathrm{C}_{9} \\ \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{~B})=10, & { }^{11} \mathrm{C}_{10} \\ \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{~B})=11, & { }^{11} \mathrm{C}_{11} \end{array} \]

    required no. of subsets $=\sum_{\mathrm{r}=2}^{11}{ }^{11} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{r}}-\sum_{\mathrm{r}=2}^{6}{ }^{6} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{r}}$

    \[ \begin{aligned} & =\left(2^{11}-{ }^{11} \mathrm{C}_{0}-{ }^{11} \mathrm{C}_{1}\right)-\left(2^{6}-{ }^{6} \mathrm{C}_{0}-{ }^{6} \mathrm{C}_{1}\right) \\ & =2048-1-11-(64-1-6) \\ & =2048-64-5=1979 \text { Answer }(1979) \end{aligned} \]

    Solution

    line $\mathrm{L}_{1}: \frac{\mathrm{x}-4}{2}=\frac{\mathrm{y}-0}{0}=\frac{\mathrm{z}+1}{3}=\lambda$
    line $\mathrm{L}_{2}: \frac{\mathrm{x}-43}{3}=\frac{\mathrm{y}-\alpha}{-1}=\frac{\mathrm{z}-\beta}{0}=\mu$
    $\mathrm{Q}(2 \lambda+4,0,3 \lambda-1) \equiv \mathrm{Q}(3 \mu+43,-\mu+\alpha, \beta)$

    \[ 2 \lambda+4=3 \mu+43 \Rightarrow 2 \lambda=3 \mu+39 \]
    \[ 0=-\mu+\alpha=\alpha=\mu \]

    \[ 3 \lambda-1=\beta \]
    \[ \mathrm{Q}(3 \alpha+43,0, \beta) \mathrm{P}(43, \alpha, \beta) \]
    \[ \begin{aligned} & P Q=13 \sqrt{10} \Rightarrow \sqrt{9 \alpha^{2}+\alpha^{2}+0}=13 \sqrt{10} \\ & \Rightarrow|\alpha| \sqrt{10}=13 \sqrt{10} \Rightarrow \alpha= \pm 13 \end{aligned} \]

    Case I: $\alpha=13, \mu=13$, given $\beta<0$
    From (1), $2 \lambda=3 \mu+39=78 \Rightarrow \lambda=39$
    From (2), $\beta=3 \lambda-1=3 \times 39-1>0$ (rejected)
    Case II : $\alpha=-13, \mu=-13$
    From (1), $2 \lambda=-39+39 \Rightarrow \lambda=0$
    From (3), $\beta=3 \lambda-1=-1$
    Now $\alpha^{2}+\beta^{2}=169+1=170$ Answer(170)

    Solution

    Point $\mathrm{B}(3 \lambda+1,4 \lambda+2, \mathrm{~b} \lambda+\mathrm{a})$ on line $\mathrm{L}_{1}$ It also lies on given line L

    \[ \begin{aligned} & \frac{3 \lambda+1-1}{1}=\frac{4 \lambda+2}{2}=\frac{b \lambda+a-1}{1} \\ & \Rightarrow 3 \lambda=2 \lambda+1=b \lambda+a-1 \\ & \Rightarrow \lambda=1,3=b+a-1 \Rightarrow a+b=4 \\ & B(4,6, a+b) \equiv B(4,6,4) \end{aligned} \]


    similarly Point C lies on $\mathrm{L}_{2}$

    \[ c(\mu+1,4 \mu+2, c \mu+a) \]

    It lies on line L also

    \[ \begin{aligned} & \frac{\mu+1-1}{1}=\frac{4 \mu+2}{2}=\frac{c \mu+a-1}{1} \\ & \Rightarrow \mu=2 \mu+1=c \mu+a-1 \\ & \Rightarrow \mu=-1 \text { and } a=c \\ & C(0,-2, a-c) \equiv C(0,-2,0) \\ & \because A B=A C \Rightarrow A B^{2}=A C^{2} \\ & \Rightarrow 3^{2}+4^{2}+(a-4)^{2}=1^{2}+4^{2}+a^{2} \\ & \Rightarrow 8+a^{2}-8 a+16=a^{2} \\ & \Rightarrow 89=24 \Rightarrow a=3=c, b=1 \\ & \therefore a+b+c=7 \text { Answer }(1) \end{aligned} \]
