A coin is tossed three times Let X denote the number

Question 6:- A coin is tossed three times. Let X denote the number of times a tail follows a head. If μ and σ² denote the mean and variance of X, then the value of 64(μ + σ²) is :

(i) 51 (ii) 48

(iii) 32 (iv) 64 [JEE 22 JAN 2025]

Answer:- (ii) 48

Explanation:- Let X denote the number of times a tail follows a head.

HHH → 0

HHT → 0

HTH → 1

HTT → 0

THH → 1

THT → 1

TTH → 1

TTT → 0

P(x = 0) = 4/8 = 1/2

P(x = 1) = 4/8 = 1/2

Probability distribution

x	0	1
P(x)	1/2	1/2

μ = Σxp = 0×(1/2) + 1×(1/2) = 1/2

σ² = Σx²p – μ²

= 1/2 – 1/4 = 1/4

64(μ + σ²) = 64(1/2 + 1/4)

= 48

Question 2:- Let f : R → R be a twice differentiable function such that f(x + y) = f(x) f(y) for all x, y ∈ R. If f'(0) = 4a and f satisfies f”(x) – 3a f'(x) – f(x) = 0, a > 0, then the area of the region

R = {(x, y) | 0 ≤ y ≤ f(ax), 0 ≤ x ≤ 2} is :

(i) $e^2 - 1$ (ii) $e^4 + 1$

(iii) $e^4 - 1$ (iv) $e^2 + 1$ [JEE 22 JAN 2025]

Question 4:- Let $Z_1, Z_2$ and $Z_3$ be three complex numbers on the circle |Z| = 1 with $\arg(Z_1) = \dfrac{-\pi}{4},\arg(Z_2) = 0$ and $\arg(Z_3) = \dfrac{\pi}{4}$ . If $|Z_1.\bar{Z_2} + Z_2.\bar{Z_3} + Z_3.\bar{Z_1}|^2 = \alpha + \beta\sqrt{2}, \alpha,\beta \in Z$ , then the value of α² + β² is :
