Answers :
Directions (1-5) :
1) Answer: C
x2 + 17x – 84 = 0
x2 + 21x – 4x – 84 = 0
x(x + 21) – 4(x + 21) = 0
(x – 4)(x + 21) = 0
x = 4, -21
y2 – 22y + 21 = 0
y2 – 21y – y + 21 = 0
y(y – 21) – 1(y – 21) = 0
(y – 1)(y – 21) = 0
y = 1, 21
Relationship between x and y cannot be established.
2) Answer: B
2x2 – 30x + 108 = 0
÷2 = > x2 – 15x + 54 = 0
x2 – 9x – 6x + 54 = 0
(x – 9) (x – 6) = 0
x = 9, 6
y2 – 11y + 30 = 0
y2 – 6y – 5y + 30 = 0
y(y – 6) – 5(y – 6) = 0
(y – 5)(y – 6) = 0
y = 5, 6
x ≥ y
3) Answer: A
x2 – 27x + 182 = 0
x2 – 13x – 14x + 182 = 0
x(x – 13) – 14(x – 13) = 0
(x – 14)(x – 13) = 0
x = 14, 13
y2 – 12y – 189 = 0
y2 – 21y + 9y – 189 = 0
y(y – 21) + 9(y – 21) = 0
(y + 9)(y – 21) = 0
y = 21, -9
Relationship between x and y cannot be established.
4) Answer: E
x2 + 17x + 72 = 0
x2 + 9x + 8x + 72 = 0
x(x + 9) + 8(x + 9) = 0
(x + 8)(x + 9) = 0
x = -8, -9
y2 – 2y – 80 = 0
y2 – 10y + 8y – 80 = 0
y(y – 10) + 8(y – 10) = 0
(y + 8)(y – 10) = 0
y = -8, 10
x ≤ y
5) Answer: D
x2 – 13x – 14 = 0
x2 – 14x + x – 14 = 0
x(x – 14) + 1(x – 14) = 0
(x + 1)(x – 14) = 0
x = -1, 14
y2 + 8y + 12 = 0
y2 + 6y + 2y + 12 = 0
y(y + 6) + 2(y + 6) = 0
(y + 2)(y + 6) = 0
y = -2, -6
x > y
6) Answer: E
Distance = Speed * Time
Time = t
Distance = x
60 * t = (60 – 10) * (t + 1)
60t = 50t + 50
t = 5
Distance = 60 * 5 = 300 km
7) Answer: A
20 boys complete the work = 1/15
40 boys complete the work = 2/15 = 1/7.5
15 girls complete the work = 1/12
20 girls complete the work = 20/(15 * 12) = 1/9 days
20 girls and 40 boys together can complete the work = 1/7.5 + 1/9
= 16.5/67.5
Required time = 67.5/16.5 = 4 1/11 days
8) Answer: D
Side of the square = 56/4 = 14 cm
Radius of the circle = 14/2 = 7 cm
Circumference of the circle = 2πr = 2 * 22/7 * 7 = 44 cm
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 * (l + b) = 44 cm
2 * (8x + 3x) = 44
11x = 22
x = 2 cm
Length of the rectangle = 8 * 2 = 16 cm
Breadth of the rectangle = 3 * 2= 6 cm
Area of the rectangle = 16 * 6 = 96 cm2
9) Answer: D
CP = x
MP = x * 125/100 = 5x/4
SP = 5x/4 * 85/100 = 17x/16
17x/16 – x = 250
x/16 = 250
x = 4000
10) Answer: C
Profit will be shared in ratio = (2 * 12): (5 * 120/100 * 5): (4 * 12)
= 24 : 30 : 48
= 4: 5: 8
R’s profit = 25450/5 * 8 = Rs.40720
