- Which one of the following plots represents \( f(x) = -\frac{|x|}{x} \), where \( x \) is a non-zero real number?
Note: The figures shown are representative. - Let the domain of the function $ f(x) = \cos^{-1} \left( \frac{4x + 5}{3x - 7} \right) $ be $ [\alpha, \beta] $ and the domain of $ g(x) = \log_2 \left( 2 - 6 \log_2 \left( 2x + 5 \right) \right) $ be $ (\gamma, \delta) $. Then $ |7(\alpha + \beta) + 4(\gamma + \delta)| $ is equal to:
- Let \( f(x) = \frac{x - 5}{x^2 - 3x + 2} \). If the range of \( f(x) \) is \( (-\infty, \alpha) \cup (\beta, \infty) \), then \( \alpha^2 + \beta^2 \) equals to.
- Let \( \mathcal{F} \) be the set of all functions from \(\{1, \dots, n\}\) to \(\{0,1\}\). Define the binary relation \(\preceq\) on \( \mathcal{F} \) as follows: \[ \forall f, g \in \mathcal{F}, \quad f \preceq g { if and only if } \forall x \in \{1, \dots, n\}, \quad f(x) \leq g(x), \quad {where } 0 \leq 1. \] Which of the following statement(s) is/are TRUE?
- g(periodcentered) is a function from A to B, f(periodcentered) is a function from B to C, and their composition defined as f(g(periodcentered)) is a mapping from A to C.

A wheel of mass \( 4M \) and radius \( R \) is made of a thin uniform distribution of mass \( 3M \) at the rim and a point mass \( M \) at the center. The spokes of the wheel are massless. The center of mass of the wheel is connected to a horizontal massless rod of length \( 2R \), with one end fixed at \( O \), as shown in the figure. The wheel rolls without slipping on horizontal ground with angular speed \( \Omega \). If \( \vec{L} \) is the total angular momentum of the wheel about \( O \), then the magnitude \( \left| \frac{d\vec{L}}{dt} \right| = N(MR^2 \Omega^2) \). The value of \( N \) (in integer) is:

- An electron with mass \( m \) and charge \( q \) is in the spin up state \[ \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \] at time \( t = 0 \). A constant magnetic field is applied along the \( y \)-axis, \( \mathbf{B} = B_0 \hat{j} \), where \( B_0 \) is a constant. The Hamiltonian of the system is \[ H = -\hbar \omega \sigma_y, \quad \text{where} \quad \omega = \frac{q B_0}{2m} < 0 \quad \text{and} \quad \sigma_y = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & -i \\ i & 0 \end{pmatrix}. \]
The minimum time after which the electron will be in the spin down state along the \( x \)-axis, i.e., \[ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ -1 \end{pmatrix}, \] is:- GATE PH - 2025
