Answers :
1) Answer: C
x2Â – 28x + 192 = 0
x2 – 12x – 16x + 192 = 0
x(x – 12) – 16(x – 12) = 0
(x – 16)(x – 12) = 0
x = 16, 12
y2Â – 29y + 208 = 0
y2 – 16y – 13y + 208 = 0
y(y – 16) – 13(y – 16) = 0
(y – 13)(y – 16) = 0
y = 13, 16
Relationship between x and y cannot be established.
2) Answer: E
x2 – 3x + 2 = 0
x2 – 2x – x + 2 = 0
x(x – 2) – 1(x – 2) = 0
(x – 1)(x – 2) = 0
x = 1, 2
y2 – 4y + 4 = 0
y2 – 2y – 2y + 4 = 0
y(y – 2) – 2(y – 2) = 0
(y – 2)(y – 2) = 0
y = 2, 2
x ≤ y
3) Answer: B
x2Â + 17x + 66 = 0
x2Â + 11x + 6x + 66 = 0
x(x + 11) + 6(x + 11) = 0
(x + 6)(x + 11) = 0
x = -6, -11
y2Â + 23y + 132 = 0
y2Â + 11y + 12y + 132 = 0
y(y + 11) + 12(y + 11) = 0
(y + 12)(y + 11) = 0
y = -12, -11
x ≥ y
4) Answer: C
x2 – x – 72 = 0
x2 – 9x + 8x – 72 = 0
x(x – 9) + 8(x – 9) = 0
(x + 8)(x – 9) = 0
x = -8, 9
y2 – 11y + 30 = 0
y2 – 6y – 5y + 30 = 0
y(y – 6) – 5(y – 6) = 0
(y – 5)(y – 6) = 0
y = 5, 6
Relationship between x and y cannot be established.
5) Answer: B
x2 – 8x – 240 = 0
x2 – 20x + 12x – 240 = 0
x(X – 20) + 12(x – 20) = 0
(X + 12)(x – 20) = 0
x = -12, 20
y2Â + 25y + 156 = 0
y2Â + 12y + 13y + 156 = 0
y(y + 12) + 13(y + 12) = 0
(y + 13)(y + 12) = 0
y = -13, -12
x ≥ y
6) Answer: E
From statement I,
2 * 22/7 * r = 2 * (l + b)
22/7 * r = (l + (r + 1))
So, Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
From Statement II,
Length of the rectangle = 14 cm
So, Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
From statement I and II,
22/7 * r = 14 + r + 1
22r = 14 * 7 + 7r + 7
15r = 105
r = 7 cm
Breadth of the rectangle = 7 + 1 = 8 cm
Area of the rectangle = 8 * 14 = 112 cm2
Both statements are necessary to answer the question.
7) Answer: D
From Statement I,
A + C = 1/48
So, Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
From statement II,
B + C = 1/60
So, Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
8) Answer: D
From Statement I,
Income saran/Income Ram = 4/5
Savings of Ram = Rs.4000
So, Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
From statement II,
Expenditure of Saran to Ram = 3:2
So, Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
9) Answer: E
From statement I,
B = C + 12
A/C = 3/2
So, Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
From statement II,
A + B = 31 * 2 = 62 years
So, Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
B = 2A/3 + 12
3B = 2A + 36
A + B = 62 ——(1)
3B – 2A = 36 ——(2)
(2) + (1) * 2
5B = 160
B = 32
A = 62 – 32 = 30
Difference = 32 – 30 = 2 years
Both statements are necessary to answer the question.
10) Answer: D
From statement I,
Distance = 120 km
So, Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
From statement II,
Time taken by the boat to travel between S and T is 12 hours.
So, Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
