a) – 2

b) 3

c) – 3

d) – 1

Answers :

1). Answer: b)

2). Answer: b)

Distance covered in a day = 60 – 12.15 = 47.85

Distance covered by the end of third day = 47.85×3 = 143.55

3). Answer: d)

The number of sarees after 2 years

= 22898

The number of sarees in present year

= 20000

Let, the percentage growth of company

4). Answer: b)

m₁×d₁= m₂ ×d₂

Z×36 = Z×12+ (Z+20) ×16

36Z = 12Z+ 16Z + 320

36Z – 28Z = 320

8Z = 320

Z = 40

Number of men employed in the beginning = 40

5). Answer: c)

Length = x

Length increased by 20 % = 120/100 x length = 6x/5

To have equal area breadth should be multiplied by reciprocal of 120/100

So New Breadth = 100/120 x breadth

Percentage decrease = (b – 100b/120)/ b x100

= 20b/120b x100

= 16 2/3 %

(or)

To retain the area of rectangle the breadth should be decreased by

= (20×100)/(100 + 20)

= 2000 / 120

= 16 2/3 %

6). Answer: a)

Sin θ = opposite side / hypotenuse = 4/5

Cosec θ = 1/sin θ = 5/4

Tan θ = opposite side / adjacent side = 4/3

Cot θ = 1/ tan θ =3/4

Cosec θ+ cot θ= 5/4 + ¾ = 8/4 =2

7). Answer: c)

55² + 13³ = 72² + x

X = 3025 + 2197 – 5184

X = 38

8). Answer: b)

Let the number of Pencils broken be x.

Cost Price of 120 Pencils =360

Cost Price of a pencil = 360/120 =Rs. 3

Selling Price of a Pencil = Rs. 4

Profit in selling 1 Pencil = 4 – 3 = 1

Total Profit = 60

(120 – x) (1) – 3x = 60

120 – x – 3x = 60

4x = 60

X = 15

Number of Pencils broken = 15

Percentage of Pencils broken = 15/120×100 = 12.5%

9). Answer: c)

Let the cost price be x. Marked Price = 130/100 × x

Selling Price = 90/100 ×130/100 × x = 234

X = 200

Cost Price = Rs. 200

10). Answer: c)
