Q36 / 54 · JEE Advanced 2017 (Paper 1) · Mathematics
Let
Column 1 contains information about zeros of and
Column 2 contains information about the limiting behaviour of and at infinity.
Column 3 contains information about increasing-decreasing nature of and
Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 (I) for some (i) (P) is increasing in (0, 1) (II) for some (ii) (Q) is decreasing in (III) for some (iii) (R) is increasing in (0, 1) (IV) for some (iv) (S) is decreasing in
Which of the following options is the only Correct combination?
Column 1 contains information about zeros of and
Column 2 contains information about the limiting behaviour of and at infinity.
Column 3 contains information about increasing-decreasing nature of and
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
| (I) for some | (i) | (P) is increasing in (0, 1) |
| (II) for some | (ii) | (Q) is decreasing in |
| (III) for some | (iii) | (R) is increasing in (0, 1) |
| (IV) for some | (iv) | (S) is decreasing in |
- A(I) (i) (P)
- Correct answerB(II) (ii) (Q)
- C(IV) (iv) (S)
- D(III) (iii) (R)
Solution

(I) , so true.
(II) , so true.
(III) Graph of , so (III) is false.
(IV) Is false.
As
(i) is false (ii) is true.
, so (iii) is true.
,so (iv) is true.
(P) is positive in (0, 1) so true
(Q) for in so true
As therefore, R is false, S is true.
Alternate:
at where
concave down

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
