The set of all real numbers x for which $x^2-|x+2|+x>0$ is
- $(-8,-2)\cup(2,8)$
- $(-8,-\sqrt2)\cup(\sqrt2,8)$
- $(-8,-1)\cup(1,8)$
- $(\sqrt2,8)$
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Case I When $\hspace20mmx+2\ge0$
$\therefore\hspace20mmx^2-x-2+x>0 \Rightarrow x^2-2>0$
$\Rightarrow\hspace25mmx\sqrt2$
$\Rightarrow\hspace25mmx\in(-2,-\sqrt2)\cup(\sqrt2,8)\, \, \, \, ...(ii)$
Case II When $x+2<0$
$\therefore\, \, \, \, \, \, \, x^2+x+2+x>0$
$\Rightarrow\, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, x^2+2x+2>0$
$\Rightarrow\, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, (x+1)^2+1>0$
which is true for all x.
$\therefore\, \, \, \, \, \, \, x\le-2 \, \, or\, x\in(-8,-2) \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, ...(iii)$
From Eqs. (ii) and (iii), we get
$\hspace25mmx\in(-8,-\sqrt2)\cup(\sqrt2,8)$

Questions Asked in JEE Advanced exam
- Consider a star of mass $ m_2 $ kg revolving in a circular orbit around another star of mass $ m_1 $ kg with $ m_1 \gg m_2 $. The heavier star slowly acquires mass from the lighter star at a constant rate of $ \gamma $ kg/s. In this transfer process, there is no other loss of mass. If the separation between the centers of the stars is $ r $, then its relative rate of change $ \frac{1}{r} \frac{dr}{dt} $ (in s$^{-1}$) is given by:

As shown in the figures, a uniform rod $ OO' $ of length $ l $ is hinged at the point $ O $ and held in place vertically between two walls using two massless springs of the same spring constant. The springs are connected at the midpoint and at the top-end $ (O') $ of the rod, as shown in Fig. 1, and the rod is made to oscillate by a small angular displacement. The frequency of oscillation of the rod is $ f_1 $. On the other hand, if both the springs are connected at the midpoint of the rod, as shown in Fig. 2, and the rod is made to oscillate by a small angular displacement, then the frequency of oscillation is $ f_2 $. Ignoring gravity and assuming motion only in the plane of the diagram, the value of $\frac{f_1}{f_2}$ is:

Operations on Sets
Some important operations on sets include union, intersection, difference, and the complement of a set, a brief explanation of operations on sets is as follows:
1. Union of Sets:
- The union of sets lists the elements in set A and set B or the elements in both set A and set B.
- For example, {3,4} ∪ {1, 4} = {1, 3, 4}
- It is denoted as “A U B”
2. Intersection of Sets:
- Intersection of sets lists the common elements in set A and B.
- For example, {3,4} ∪ {1, 4} = {4}
- It is denoted as “A ∩ B”
3.Set Difference:
- Set difference is the list of elements in set A which is not present in set B
- For example, {3,4} - {1, 4} = {3}
- It is denoted as “A - B”
4.Set Complement:
- The set complement is the list of all elements present in the Universal set except the elements present in set A
- It is denoted as “U-A”
