Answers:

1) Answer: b)

2) Answer: c)

3) Answer: b)

864 = 25 × 33

Number of factors = (5+1) (3 + 1)

= 6 * 4 = 24

4) Answer: a)

5) Answer: d)

13, 24, 35, 46, 57, 68, 79 are the numbers for which difference of the number obtained by interchanging the digits and original number is 18. Sum of digits is different for different numbers.

6) Answer: c)

7) Answer:  c)

Total temperature on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday was 26 3 = 78oC

Total temperature on Thursday, Friday and Saturday was 25  3 = 75oC

Hence, difference between the temperature on Wednesday and Saturday = 3oC

If Saturday temperature = 28oC, then Wednesday’s temperature = 28 + 3 = 31oC

8) Answer: a)

Let his average after 49th inning be n and after scoring 70 runs in the 50th inning.

His average increased by a whole number k.

According to the question.

Now rest of the work can be done just by checking the option i.e.

Option (1): n + k = 21            (ii)

Solving, we get

n = 20 and k = 1.

This option gives us an integer value of k, hence this one is the correct option.

Similarly, by checking options (b) and (c), we can see that these options do not give us an integer value of k.

Hence, these options are wrong.

Alternative method

Part of runs scored in 50th inning will go toward increasing the average of 49 innings to the new average and the remaining part of the runs will go towards maintaining part of the runs will go towards maintaining the new average for the 40th inning.

The only constraint in this problem is that there is an increase in the average by a whole number of runs. This is possible only for option (1).

9) Answer:  b)

Rebate = 10% of 6000 = 600

Sales tax = 20% of (6000 – 600) = 1080

Amount to be paid = 5400 + 1080 = 6480

10) Answer: c)

Solve this question using the options. The first thing you should realize is that the cost of the lower priced book should be less than Rs. 240. Thus, we can reject options (1) and (4). Checking option (3) we can see that if the lower priced book is priced at Rs. 200, the higher priced item would be priced at Rs. 280. Then

1.19 * 200 = 238

and

0.85 * 280 = 238

It can be seen that in this condition the values of the selling price of both the items would be equal (as required by the conditions given in the problem).

11) Answer:  d)

Actual selling price = 50 + 40% of 50 = Rs. 70.

Marked price = 70 + 30 = Rs. 100.

Required profit per cent.

12) Answer:  d)

13) Answer: d)

Let the number of guests while 2 at a time = x

Let the number of guests while 3 at a time= y

Let the number of guests while 4 at a time = z

x + y + z = 65                …… (i)

We have 2x = 3y = 4z                …… (ii)

14) Answer: a)

Given, tan 15° = 2 – √3

Then, tan 15°. cot 75° + tan 75°.cot 15°

= tan 15°. cot (90° – 15°) + tan (90° – 15°).cot 15°

= tan2 15° + cot2 15°

[tan (90° – q) = cotq, cot (90° – q) = tanq]

Now, tan 15°= 2 – √3

15) Answer: a)

Given, x2 + 2 = 2x

x2 – 2x + 2 = 0

Now, x2 – 2x + 2) x4 – x3 + x2 + 2 (x2 + x + 1)

Hence, x4 – x3 + x2 + 2 can be represented as = (x2 – 2x + 2) (x2 + x + 1) = 0
