P1, P2 and P3 pass through one line, if they here infinite solution.
Or {Normals of P1 ,P2, P3 are coplanar}

–1(1 – a2) – c(– c – ab) + b(ac + b) = 0

a2 + b2 + c2 + 2abc = 1

65)
C1 → C1 – C2
C1 & C3 are identical so value of det. is 0

66) Given matrix

A4 + 3 IA = 2I
⇒ A4 = 2I – 3A
Also characteristic equation of A is
|A – λI| = 0

⇒
⇒ λ + λ2 – 2k = 0
⇒ A + A2 = 2K.I
⇒ A2 = 2KI – A
⇒ A4 = 4K2I + A2 – 4AK
Put A2 = 2KI – A
and A4 = 2I – 3A
2I – 3A = 4K2I + 2KI – A – 4AK
⇒ I(2 – 2K – 4K2) = A(2 – 4K)
⇒ –2I(2K2 + K – 1) = 2A(1 – 2K)
⇒ –2I(2K – 1)(K + 1) = 2A(1 – 2K)
⇒ (2K – 1)(2A) – 2I(2K – 1)(K + 1) = 0
⇒ (2K – 1)[2A – 2I(K + 1)] = 0

68) Let E1 be the event that Indian man is seated adjacent to his wife and E2 be the event that
each American man is seated adjacent to his wife. Then

69)

E1 : Event of drawing a Red ball and placing a green ball in the bag
E2 : Event of drawing a green ball and placing a red ball in the bag
E : Event of drawing a red ball in second draw

70) f (x) = loge(x2 + 1) – e–x + 1

⇒ f ‘ (x) = >0“x∈R
⇒ f is strictly increasing

g(x) = = e–x – 2ex

⇒ g ′ (x) = < 0 ∀ x ∈ R
⇒ g is decreasing

Now

⇒
⇒ α2 – 5α + 6 < 0
⇒(α – 2)(α – 3) < 0
⇒ α ∈ (2, 3)

Hence has minimum values at 3 = 35 – 45

72)

We have
OP2 = PT2

⇒ x2 + y2 =

Case-I :

⇒ xy = C
As ƒ(16) = 4
⇒ C = 24

Case-II :
⇒ y = mx, As ƒ(16) = 4

∴ (reject)
