Answers :
Directions (1-5) :
1) Answer: C
From I
=> 5x2 – 26x + 33 = 0
=> 5x2 – 15x – 11x + 33 = 0
=> 5x(x – 3) – 11(x – 3) = 0
=> (x – 3) (5x – 11) = 0
=> x = 3, 11/5
From II
=> 7y2 – 54y + 99 = 0
=> 7y2 – 21y – 33y + 99 = 0
=> 7y(y – 3) – 33(y – 3) = 0
=> (y – 3) (7y – 33) = 0
=> y = 3, 33/7
Hence, x ≤ y
2) Answer: E
From I
=> 3x2 – 23x + 40 = 0
=> 3x2 – 15x – 8x + 40 = 0
=> 3x(x – 5) – 8(x – 5) = 0
=> (3x – 8) (x – 5) = 0
=> x = 5, 8/3
From II
=> 15y2 – 34y + 15 = 0
=> 15y2 – 9y – 25y + 15 = 0
=> 3y (5y – 3) – 5 (5y – 3) = 0
=> (3y – 5) (5y – 3) = 0
=> y = 5/3, 3/5
Hence, x > y
3) Answer: A
From I
=> 8x2 – 22x + 15 = 0
=> 8x2 – 12x – 10x + 15 = 0
=> 4x (2x – 3) – 5(2x – 3) = 0
=> (4x – 5) (2x – 3) = 0
=> x = 5/4, 3/2
From II
=> 3y2 + 14y + 15 = 0
=> 3y2 + 9y + 5y + 15 = 0
=> 3y(y + 3) + 5(y + 3) = 0
=> (y + 3) (3y + 5) = 0
=> y = -3, -5/3
Hence, x > y
4) Answer: D
From I
=> 3x2 + 17x + 24 = 0
=> 3x2 + 9x + 8x + 24 = 0
=> 3x(x + 3) + 8(x + 3) = 0
=> (x + 3) (3x + 8) = 0
=> x = -3, -8/3
From II
=> y2+ 11y + 24 = 0
=> y2 + 3y + 8y + 24 = 0
=> (y + 3) (y + 8) = 0
=> y = -3, -8
Hence, x ≥ y
5) Answer: A
From I
=> 3x2 – 25x + 52 = 0
=> 3x2 – 12x – 13x + 52 = 0
=> 3x(x – 4) – 13(x – 4) = 0
=> (3x – 13) (x – 4) = 0
=> x = 13/3, 4
From II
=> 2y2 – 19y + 35 = 0
=> 2y2 – 14y – 5y + 35 = 0
=> 2y(y – 7) -5(y – 7) = 0
=> (2y – 5) (y – 7) = 0
=> y = 5/2, 7
Hence, relationship between x and y cannot be determined.
Directions (6-10) :
6) Answer: C
Distance covered by Raghu = 1800/360 * 20 = 100 km
Speed of Raghu = 100/2 = 50kmph
Speed of Kumar = 50% of 50 = 25 kmph
Required percentage
= (105 * 5 – 25 * 8)/(105 * 5) * 100 = 61.90% ≈ 62%
Hence, the required answer = 62%
7) Answer: B
Distance travelled by Kumar = 8/21 * 105 * 5 = 200 km
Distance travelled by Raghu = 1800/360 * 20 = 100 km
Distance travelled by Gupta = 105 * 5 = 525 km
Distance travelled by Gaurav = 1800/360 * 95 = 475 km
Distance travelled by Vijay = 1800 – 200 – 100 – 525 – 475 = 500 km
Time taken by Vijay = 500/50 = 10 hours
Hence, the required answer = 10 hours
8) Answer: C
Distance covered by Raghu = 1800 * 20/360 = 100km
Time taken by Raghu = 2 hours
Speed of Raghu = 100/2 = 50 kmph
Speed of Kumar = 50 kmph
Distance covered by Vijay
= 1800 – 50 * 8 – 50 * 2 – 105 * 5 – 95 * 5 = 300 km
Time taken by Vijay = 300/50 = 6 hours
Required time difference = 6 – 2 = 4 hours
Hence, the required answer = 4 hours
9) Answer: B
Speed of train = x kmph
In 8 hours, it would have covered 8x km.
Speed of Gaurav = Distance/Time
=> 3200 – 8x = 950 + 10x
=> 18x = 3200 – 950
=> x = 125kmph
Hence, the required answer = 125 kmph
10) Answer: D
Average speed of Gupta = 105 kmph
Distance travelled by Gupta = 105 * 5 = 525 km
525 (90y) = 105 (262.5 * 90 + 262.5 * y)
450y = 23625 + 262.5y
187.5 y = 23625
=> y = 126 kmph
Hence, the required answer = 126 kmph
