Answers :
1) Answer: D
3x2 + 30x + 63 = 0
3x2 + 21x + 9x + 63 = 0
3x(x + 7) + 9(x + 7) = 0
(3x + 9)(x + 7) = 0
x = -3, -7
y2 – 4y – 21 = 0
y2 – 7y + 3y – 21 = 0
y(y – 7) + 3(y – 7) = 0
(y – 7)(y + 3) = 0
y = 7, -3
x ≤ y
2) Answer: E
x2 – 33x + 162 = 0
x2 – 27x – 6x + 162 = 0
x(x – 27) – 6(x – 27) = 0
(x – 6)(x – 27) = 0
x = 6, 27
y2 – 30y + 144=0
y2 – 24y – 6y + 144=0
y(y – 24) – 6(y – 24)=0
(y – 6)(y – 24)=0
y = 6, 24
Relationship between x and y cannot be established.
3) Answer: D
x2 + 23x + 130=0
x2 + 13x + 10x + 130=0
x(x + 13) + 10(x + 13)=0
(x + 10)(x + 13)=0
x = -10, -13
2y2 + 32y + 120=0
2y2 + 20y + 12y + 120=0
2y(y + 10) + 12(y + 10)=0
(2y + 6)(y + 10)=0
y = -3, -10
x ≤ y
4) Answer: E
x2 – 17x + 52=0
x2 – 13x – 4x + 52=0
x(x – 13) – 4(x – 13)=0
(x – 4)(x – 13)=0
x = 4, 13
y2 – 7y – 60=0
y2 – 12y + 5y – 60=0
y(y – 12) + 5(y – 12)=0
(y + 5)(y – 12)=0
y = -5, 12
Relationship between x and y cannot be established.
5) Answer: D
x2 + 15x – 184=0
x2 + 23x – 8x – 184=0
x(x + 23) – 8(x + 23)=0
(x – 8)(x + 23)=0
x = 8, -23
y2 – 30y + 176=0
y2 – 22y – 8y + 176=0
y(y – 22) – 8(y – 22)=0
(y – 8)(y – 22)=0
y = 8, 22
x ≤ y
6) Answer: C
CP = x
MP/CP = 6/5
MP = 6/5 * x
SP = 6/5 * x * 90/100 = 27x/25
Profit percentage = ((27x/25) – x) / x * 100
= 8%
7) Answer: A
Slanting height of the cone = √h2 + r2 = √242 + 72
= 25 cm
CSA of Cone = 22/7 * r * l
TSA of the cylinder = 2 * 22/7 * r * (h + r)
Required ratio = 22/7 * 7 * 25 : 2 * 22/7 * 7 * (18 + 7)
= 1: 2
8) Answer: D
A = 1/24
B = 1/16
LCM of (16, 24) = 48
A complete the work in one day = 2 units
B complete the work in one day = 3 units
They work together in 6 days = 6 * (2 + 3) = 30 units of work completed
Remaining work = 48 – 30 = 18 units
A alone complete the remaining = 18/2 = 9 days
9) Answer: B
Profit ratio of A and B = 4 * 10: 5 * 6
= 4:3
A’s profit share = 4/7 * 17500 = 10000
10) Answer: A
(3x + 9)/(7x + 9) = 15/29
105x + 135 = 87x + 261
18x = 126
x = 7
Sam = 3 * 7 = 21 years
Ram = 7 * 7 = 49 years
Shon = 49 – 21 = 28 years
Sum of Sam and Shon age = 21 + 28 = 49 years
