Answers :
1) Answer: A
2) Answer: D
Let, the number of shepherds = x
Then, total number of feet = 2 × 48 + 42 × 4 + 11 × 4 + 2x = 308 + 2x
Total number of heads = 48 + 42 + 11 + x
= 101 + x
Now, 308 + 2x = 101 + x + 224
⇒ x = 17
3) Answer: B
4) Answer: C
r² + p² + s² -rp – ps – rs
= (4)² + (2)² + (8)² – 4 × 2 – 2 × 8 – 4 × 8
= 16 + 4 + 64 – 8 – 16 – 32
= 84 – 56 = 28
5) Answer: C
∆ OQP is right angled {radius OQ ⊥r tangent QP}
∴ OP² = OQ² + QP²
(25)² = (7)² + QP²
⇒ PQ = √(625 – 49) = 24 cm
6) Answer: B
Two triangles are said to be similar, If ratio of sides of both triangles is same i.e.,
7) Answer: C
We have, y × y / 100 = 289
⇒ y² = 28900
⇒ y = 170
8) Answer: D
9) Answer: D
Let, liquid P is 3 x & Q is 7x in the container After, 10 liter mixture is drawn off, remaining quantity of P & Q in the mixture
∴ Initial quantity (inlitres) of mixture = 10x = 10 × 4 = 40 Litre.
10) Answer: C
Let x apples were removed
ATQ, 35× 50 – 40 × x = (57.5) (35–x)
⇒ x = 15
