Answers:
Directions (1-5):
1) Answer: a)
I) x = √(12875 – 3271)
X = √9604 = 98
II) y = ∛474552
Y = 78
X > y
2) Answer: e)
I) x2 – 6x – 72 = 0
(x – 12) (x + 6) = 0
X = 12, – 6
II) y2 + 3y – 88 = 0
(y + 11) (y – 8) = 0
Y = -11, 8
Can’t be determined
3) Answer: d)
I) 3x2 + 26x + 56 = 0
3x2 + 12x + 14x + 56 = 0
3x(x + 4) + 14(x + 4) = 0
(3x + 14) (x + 4) = 0
X = -14/3, -4 = -4.667, -4
II) 2y2 + 15y + 28 = 0
2y2 + 8y + 7y + 28 = 0
2y(y + 4) + 7 (y + 4) = 0
(2y + 7) (y + 4) = 0
Y = -7/2, -4 = -3.5, -4
X ≤ y
4) Answer: c)
4x – 5y = -12 –> (1)
3x + 4y = 53 –> (2)
By solving the equation (1) and (2), we get,
X = 7, y = 8
X < y
5) Answer: e)
I) x2 – 17x + 52 = 0
(x -14) (x – 3) = 0
X = 14, 3
II) y2 – 5y – 66 = 0
(y – 11) (y + 6) = 0
Y = 11, -6
Can’t be determined
Directions (6-10):
6) Answer: e)
Total number of tyres rejected by the company P
= > 3200000*(2/100) = 64000
Total number of tyres rejected by the company T
= > 4000000*(1.5/100) = 60000
Required % = [(64000 – 60000)/60000]*100 = 7 % more
7) Answer: a)
The average number of tyres manufactured by all the given companies together
= > (32 + 26 + 48 + 16 + 40)/5
= > 162/5 = 32.4 lakhs
8) Answer: c)
The total number of tyres sold by the company Q
= >2600000*(95/100)*(84/100) = 2074800
The total number of tyres sold by the company S
= > 1600000*(97/100)*(80/100) = 1241600
Required difference = 2074800 – 1241600 = 833200
9) Answer: d)
The total number of tyres rejected by the company Q
= > 26*(5/100) = 1.3 lakhs
The total number of tyres rejected by the company R
= > 48*(4/100) = 1.92 lakhs
Required ratio = 1.3: 1.92 = 130: 192 = 65: 96
10) Answer: b)
Total number of tyres sold by the company P
= > 3200000*(98/100)*(78/100) = 2446080
Total number of tyres sold by the company R
= > 4800000*(96/100)*(72/100) = 3317760
Required % = (2446080/3317760)*100 = 73.726 = 75 %
