 Note to the Student
Wiley Mathematics Problem Book is specifically designed to meet the needs of engineering (JEE) aspirants and give an edge to
their preparation. The book offers complete coverage of the mathematics curriculum (of Class 12 syllabus) for JEE. It is enriched with
unique elements and features that help students recapitulate the concepts, build problem-solving skills and apply them to solve all
question-types asked in the engineering entrance examinations. The book is a valuable resource for both JEE (Main) and JEE (Advanced)
aspirants. The chapter flow of the book is aligned with JEE Main syllabus and its coverage in the classroom. However, topics specific to
JEE (Advanced) and advanced level questions are also covered both as solved examples and practice exercises.
We will now walk you through the target examinations and some key features of the book that enhance the learning experience.

TARGET EXAMINATION
Admission to Undergraduate Engineering Programs at IITs, NITs and other Center and State (participating) funded Technical
Institutions use the Joint Entrance Examination Main (JEE Main) score as eligibility/merit criteria. The JEE (Main) is also an eligibility test
for the Joint Entrance Examination Advanced [JEE (Advanced)], which is mandatory for the candidate if he/she is aspiring for admission
to the undergraduate program offered by the IITs. The JEE (Advanced) scores are used as an eligibility criteria for admission into IITs.
An effective exam strategy for success in these examinations can be based on the detailed analysis of previous years question papers
and planning your preparation accordingly. The Mathematics Question Paper of these examinations is a judicious mix of easy, moderate
and tough questions. The analysis of question distribution over the units of mathematics syllabus for these examinations is given below.

EXAM ANALYSIS OF PAPERS

1. If two rows (or columns) in a determinant are interchanged,
For 3 × 3 order matrix A;
the sign of the determinant changes. For example, by
det A (or |A|) = a11C11 + a12C12 + a13C13 a1 b1
= a21C21 + a22C22 + a23C23 interchanging the two rows of the determinant , we

Illustration 18.11 Evaluate the determinant Δ = 5 - 2 1 . This rule can be extended to more number of rows for higher
1 2 3 order determinants.
Solution: We can do it in two ways.
(a) Expanding along the second row, we have 3. If rows and columns are interchanged, the value of the
determinant remains unaltered. For example,

D = -5 -2 -1 a1 b1 a a

(b) Expanding along the third column, we have we reflect the numbers of the determinant in the line of the

6. If the elements of a row are multiplied by any number m, the Therefore,

a3 b3 c3 a3 b3 c3 Δ = 1 b b2

unchanged when any row (or column) is multiplied by a
number or any expression and then added or subtracted from Subtracting the second row from the first and then the third row
any other row (or column). That is, from the second, we have

2 2
= (a − b) (b − c) 0 1 b + c
c1 c2 c3 c1 + mc2 - nc3 c2 c3 1 c c2 1 c c2
The above operation is written using C1 ® C1 + mC2 - nC3 Now expanding along the first column, we have
which means C1 is replaced by C1 + mC2 - nC3 .
Δ = (a − b) (b − c) [(b + c) − (a + b)] = (a − b) (b − c) (c − a)
8. Determinant of a triangular matrix is the product of its diago-
nal elements. For example, Illustration 18.13 Show that
a1 b1 c1 a1 0 0 a1 0 0 b+c c b
0 b2 c2 = a2 b2 0 = 0 b2 0 = a1b2c3 Δ= c c+a a = 4abc
0 0 c3 a3 b3 c3 0 0 c3 b a b+a
9. If a determinant Δ becomes zero on putting x = a, then we say Solution:
that (x − a) is a factor of Δ. For example, if
2(b + c ) 2( c + a) 2(a + b )
x 1 3
Δ= c c+a a by R1: R1 + R2 + R3
Δ = x2 2 9 b a a+b
x3 3 27
then Now take 2 as a common factor and then apply R2: R2 − R1 and
Δ = 0 if x = 3 R3: R3 − R1
b+c c +a a+b
Hence, (x − 3) is a factor of Δ.
Δ=2 -b 0 -b
1 a a2 -c -c 0
Illustration 18.12 Show that 1 b b2 = (a − b) (b − c) (c − a).
Now apply C2: C2 − C1
1 c c2
b+c a-b a+b
Solution: Let
Δ=2 -b b -b
1 a a2 -c 0 0
Δ = 1 b b2
Now expand through R3 to get
1 c c2
Δ = 2[(−c) {−ab + b2 − ab − b2}] = 4abc
If b is put equal to a, two rows are exactly alike. Therefore, Δ = 0
when b = a. Hence, (a − b) is a factor of Δ [this follows from the Illustration 18.14 Show that
factor theorem which states that for f(x), if f(a) = 0, then (x − a)
is a factor of f(x)]. 1 1 1
Similarly, (b − c) and (c − a) are factors. Δ= a b c 0
Again, Δ is of third degree in a, b and c. a  bc b  ca c  ab

We already know the three linear factors are (a − b), (b − c) and

(c − a). If there is another factor, it must be a mere number. Thus Solution: Applying C1: C1 − C2 and C2 : C2 − C3 we get
1 a a2
0 0 1
1 b b2 = N (a − b) (b − c) (c − a), where N is a number
a-b b-c c
1 c c2
a2 - b2 + c ( a - b ) b2 - c 2 + a(b - c ) c 2 - ab
By equating coefficients of bc2 on both sides, we get N = 1.

rows by columns or columns by rows, or columns by columns.
Note: If Δ = |aij| is a determinant of order n, then the value of A¢(a ) B ¢(a ) C ¢(a )
the determinant |Aij|, where Aij is the cofactor of aij, is Δn−1. This

is known as power cofactor formula.

18.29 Differentiation of Determinants
A¢(a ) B ¢(a ) C ¢(a )
Following is the differentiation of a determinant whose elements
are functions of a variable x. Let Since two rows are identical, we have g(a ) = 0
f ( x ) g( x ) A′(a ) B ′(a ) C ′(a )
F( x ) =
h( x ) u( x ) g′(a ) = A(a ) B(a ) C (a )
A′(a ) B ′(a ) C ′(a )
Then
F(x) = f(x) × u(x) − g(x) × h(x) Since two rows are identical, we have g′(a ) = 0.
and Since g(a) = 0 and also g′(a) = 0, a is a repeated root of g(x) = 0
d Therefore,
F′(x) = F(x)
dx g(x) = (x − a)2h(x) (18.8)
= {f(x) × u′(x) + u(x) × f ′(x)} − {g(x) × h′(x) + h(x) g′(x)} Since a is a repeated root of f(x) = 0, we have
f ¢( x ) g¢( x ) f ( x ) g( x ) f(x) = N(x − a)2 (18.9)
= +
h( x ) u( x ) h¢( x ) u¢( x ) where N is some number. From Eqs. (18.8) and (18.9), we find that
g(x), i.e. the given determinant is divisible by f(x).
Thus, F′(x) is the sum of two determinants of which the first
one is obtained by differentiating the elements of the first row
alone and retaining the second row without any change and Differentiation of a Determinant
the second one is obtained by differentiating the elements of a1( x ) b1( x )

F(x) = f2 ( x ) g2 ( x ) h2 ( x )

then

This is possible only when n is a multiple of 3. Therefore, n can be So, A has to be singular. Similarly, then B also has to be singular.
55, 58, 56 (P2 ≠ 0). Therefore, from Eqs. (1) and (2), we conclude the only possibility is
|M + N2| = 0
Hence, the correct answers are options (B), (C) and (D). Now checking options:
(A) |M2 + MN2| = |M||M + N2| = 0
18. Let M be a 2 × 2 symmetric matrix with integer entries. Then
M is invertible if Therefore, (A) is correct.
(A) The first column of M is the transpose of the second row (B) (M2 +MN2) U = 0
of M Since M2 + MN2 is singular, therefore, U has infinitely many
(B) The second row of M is the transpose of the first column possible values (non-trivial solutions). So (B) is true.
of M (C) False, since |M2 + MN2| = 0
(C) M is a diagonal matrix with non-zero entries in the main (D) False. Since |M2 + MN2| = 0, therefore, U is not a necessarily a
diagonal zero matrix.
(D) The product of entries in the main diagonal of M is not the Hence, the correct answers are options (A) and (B).

0 < | x − x0 | < δ ⇒ | f(x) −L | < ∈
x = 1 the function can be written as
f(x) = x + 1
Illustration 19.1 Show that lim (5 x - 3) = 2.
As x approaches 1 (written as x → 1), f(x) approaches the value 2 x ®1
[f(x) → 2]. We write this as Solution: See Fig. 19.1. Set x0 = 1, f(x) = 5x − 3, and L = 2 in the
lim f ( x ) = 2 definition of limit. For any given ∈ > 0, we have to find a suitable

δ > 0 so that if x ≠ 1 and x is within distance δ of x0 = 1, that is, if
It must be noted that it is not necessary for the function to be
0 < | x − 1| < δ,
undefined at the point where limit is calculated. In the above
example, lim f ( x ) is the same as the value of function at x  = 2, then f(x) is within the distance ∈ of L = 2, that is
x ®2 |f(x) − 2| < ∈
that is, 3.
Sometimes, functions approach different values as x-approaches We find δ by working backwards from the ∈ inequality
x0 from left and right. By left we mean x < x0 and right means x > |(5x − 3) − 2| = |5x − 5| < ∈
x0. This is written as x→ x 0- and x→ x 0+ , respectively. For example, 5|x − 1| < ∈
f (x) = [x] (greatest integer function) |x − 1| < (∈/5)
For any integer n, Thus, we can take δ = ∈/5.
lim- f ( x ) = n -1 (19.1)
x ®n

and lim f ( x ) = n (19.2)

x ® n+
In such cases we say that lim f ( x ) does not exist. The limit in
x ®n
Eq. (19.1) is said to be the left hand limit (L.H.L.) at x = n and that in
Eq. (19.2) is called the right hand limit (R.H.L.) at x = n.

19.2 Definition
19.2.1 Informal Definition of Limit
Let f(x) be defined on an open interval about x0, except possibly at
x0 itself. If f(x) gets arbitrarily close to L for all x sufficiently close to
x0, we say that function approaches the limit L as x approaches x0,
and we write
lim f ( x ) = L
x ® x0

This definition is “informal” because phrases like arbitrarily close Figure 19.1
and sufficiently close are imprecise and their meaning depends on
the context. If 0 < |x − 1| < δ = ∈/5, then
The definition is clear enough and enables us to recognize and |(5x − 3) − 2| = |5x − 5| = 5|x − 1| < 5(∈/5) = ∈
evaluate limits of specific functions. This proves that limx→1(5x − 3) = 2.

The value of δ = ∈/5 is not the only value that will make 0 < |x − 1| Left and Right Limits: Let y = f(x) be a given function, and x = a

Thus, for the existence of the limit of f(x) at x = a, f(a− 0) = f(a + 0)

Now, from the discussions we have just gone through we can x ®a
easily say that limit of a function will exist iff LHL and RHL both
are finite, unique and equal (Fig. 19.2). 19.4 Evaluation of Limits
For example: lim [ x ] will not exist as LHL = lim- [ x ] = 0;

RHL =  lim+ [ x ] = 1

2. Rationalisation
3. Factorization
4. Use of formulas like binomial expansion, trigonometric

1. Direct substitution: We can directly substitute the number at 3. Factorization method: We factorize numerator and denom-
which limit is to be find. For example inator of the rational function, so that common factors in
numerator and denominator cancel out. By doing this, we in

lim = lim
t
lim | x |  = 2 x ®16 x 1/ 4 - 2 x ®16 ( x 1/ 4 - 2)
x ®-2

= lim ( x + 2) = 4
But before using this method, we have to see that LHL should 1/ 4

remain equal to RHL.
For example: In lim sec -1 x , if we directly substitute, we will 4. Use of formulas: We can use formulas which we have stud-

get lim sec -1 x as 0. But LHL of lim sec -1 x will not exist. So, For example:

[As f ( x + y ) = f ( x ) + f ( x )] differentiable at x = 0. Now f (0 + 0) = 0, f (0 − 0) = b, f (0) = b.
Therefore,

184. Let h(x) = x, x ∈ (−∞, ∞); g(x) = 1 + | x |, x ∈ (−∞, ∞)
178. Since function| x | is not differentiable at x = 0. So, Here h is differentiable in(−∞, ∞) but | x | is not differentiable
| x2 − 3x + 2| = | (x − 1)(x − 2) | at x = 0
Hence, the function is not differentiable at x = 1 and 2. Therefore, g is differentiable in (−∞, 0) ∪ (0, ∞) and g(x) ≠ 0,
Now f (x) = (x2 −1)| x2 − 3x + 2| + cos(| x |) is not differentiable

For 1 < x < 2, f (x) = −(x2 − 1)(x2 − 3x + 2) + cos x g( x ) 1+ | x |
For 2 < x < 3, f (x) = +(x2 − 1)(x2 − 3x + 2) + cos x
It is differentiable in (−∞, 0) ∪ (0, ∞) for x = 0

Solutions
Practice Exercise 1 At x = 0 , y = 1 [from ln( x + y ) = 2 xy ]
1. cos( x + y ) = ( y sin x )
Hence,
⎛ dy ⎞ dy 1− 2
⇒ − sin( x + y ) ⎜ 1+ ⎟ = y cos x + sin x y ’(0 ) = =1
⎝ dx ⎠ dx −1
dy y cos x + sin( x + y ) 6. x y = e x − y ⇒ y log x = x − y ⇒ y =
x
⇒ =−
dx sin( x + y ) + sin x 1+ log x
dy
2. sin2 x + 2 cos y + xy = 0 ⇒ = log x (1+ log x )−2 = log x [log ex ]−2
dx
dy dy
⇒ 2 sin x cos x − 2 sin y +y+x =0 7. log y = (tan x )tan x logtan x (1)
dx dx
Hence, Taking log again in Eq. (1), we get
dy y + sin 2 x
= log(log y ) = tan x logtan x + log(logtan x )
dx 2 sin y − x
⎛ dy ⎞ dy Differentiating with respect to x, we get
3. x 3 + 8 xy + y 3 = 64 ⇒ 3 x 2 + 8 ⎜ y + x ⎟ + 3 y 2 =0
⎝ dx ⎠ dx 1 1 dy
⋅
Hence, log y y dx
dy 3x2 + 8 y
=− sec2 x 1 1
dx 8 x + 3y2 = sec2 x logtan x + tan x ⋅ + ⋅ ⋅ sec2 x
tan x logtan x tan x
4. It is an implicit function, so Therefore,
1 ⎡ ⎤
cos( x + y ) − dy 1
dy ∂f / ∂x x+y = y log y sec2 x ⋅ ⎢logtan x + 1+ ⎥
=− =− = −1 dx ⎣ tan x logtan x ⎦
dx ∂f / ∂y cos( x + y ) −
1
⎡ 1 ⎤
x+y = y (tan x )tan x logtan x ⋅ sec2 x ⎢(logtan x + 1) + ⎥
5. ln( x + y ) = 2 xy ⎣ tan x logtan x ⎦
Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get = y (tan x )tan x sec2 x [logtan x (logtan x + 1) + cot x ]

⎛ 1 ⎞ ⎛ dy ⎞ ⎛ dy ⎞ p ⎛p ⎞
Now at x = , y = 1, logtan ⎜ ⎟ = log1 = 0
⎜⎝ x + y ⎟⎠ ⎜⎝ 1+ dx ⎟⎠ = 2 ⎜⎝ x dx + y ⎟⎠ 4 ⎝ 4⎠

dy 1− 2 xy − 2 y 2 Therefore,
⇒ = dy
dx 2 x 2 + 2 xy − 1 = 1⋅1⋅ 2[0 + 1] = 2

Differentiating with respect to x, we get
Differentiating y1 and y 2 with respect to x, we get

9. Given dx dx ⎝ 1+ x 2 ⎠

y1 = tan−1 tan 2q = 2q = 2 tan−1 x
log 2 loge 4 loge 2 2 log 2 log 2
⇒ log x 4 = ⇒ = ⇒ =
log y loge x loge y log x log y and y 2 = sin−1 sin 2q = 2 tan−1 x
⇒ log x = log y 2 ⇒ x = y 2 Again

11. Let x = sinq . Then Hence,

dy1

2 sin−1 x = 2q ⇒ y = sin 2q dy 2
17. From the given relation
dy dy /dq 2 cos 2q 2(1− 2 sin2 q ) 2 − 4 x 2
⇒ = = = = y
dx dx /dq cosq 1− sin2 q 1− x 2 = log x − log(a + bx )

1. We have Therefore, the point on x-axis is (2 x1,0). Now, the tangent

dy meets y-axis where x = 0. Since

dx x12 y = 2a2 x1
Hence, the points are (2, 16) and (−2, −16).

The slope of the tangent of the curve is − x. From the given x

line, the slope is −1 and hence x = 1 and from Eq. (1), y = 1. a
Therefore, the coordinate of the point is (1, 1). Hence, the point is (0, b).

I = ∫ x 2 + a2 dx = x 2 + a2 ∫ 1dx − ∫ dx
Or we can say that the integral of the product of two functions 2 x 2 + a2
= (First function) × (Integral of second function) − Integral of x 2 + a2 a2
= x x 2 + a2 − ∫ dx + ∫ dx
{(Differentiation of first function) × (Integral of second function)}. x 2 + a2 x 2 + a2
Note: In applying the above rule, care has to be taken in the selec-
tion of the first function (F ) and the second function (G). ⇒ I = x x 2 + a2 − I + a2 In x + x 2 + a2 + c
Normally, we use the following methods:
1. In the product of two functions, one of the function is not ⇒ 2I = x x 2 + a2 + a2 In x + x 2 + a2 + c
directly integrable (that is, ln x , sin−1 x , cos −1 x , tan−1 x , etc.),
x 2 a2
then we take it as the first function and the remaining function ⇒I = x + a2 + In x + x 2 + a2 + c
2 2
is taken as the second function.
2. If there is no other function, then unity is taken as the
second function. For example, in the integration of sin−1 x − cos −1 x
−1 Illustration 22.36 Evaluate ∫ dx.
∫ ln x dx , ∫ sin x dx , 1 is taken as the second function. sin−1 x + cos −1 x
3. If both of the functions are directly integrable, then the first Solution:
function is chosen in such a way that the derivative of the func-
tion thus obtained under integral sign is easily integrable.

y2 f ′(1) = g′(1) + c ⇒ c = −2
Putting x = 0, we have ⇒ f ′(x) = g′(x) − 2 ⇒ f(x) = g(x) − 2x + c1
⇒ f(2) = g(2) − 4 + c1 ⇒ c1 = −2

1. Two collinear vectors are always linearly dependent.  
( l + 6 ) c = (2 m + 1) a

5. More than three vectors are always linearly dependent.
   Hence, the correct answer is option (A).

z ( aiˆ − 52 ˆj ) = 0 such that x, y, z are not all zero and x + y + z = 0. So,

x + 2y = 1 (3) CD = (iˆ + l ˆj ) − (3iˆ + 2 ˆj ) = −2iˆ + ( l − 2) ˆj ;
   
Solving Eqs. (1) and (2), we get x = 5, y = –2 which also satisfy Eq. (3). AB || CD ⇒ AB = x CD
So, x and y are unique numbers. Therefore,
   − iˆ − 4 ˆj = x { −2iˆ + ( l − 2) ˆj }
r3 = 5r1 − 2r2
