Answers & Solutions:

1) Answer (C)

Expression : $\frac{3}{4}+\frac{8}{9}$

= $\frac{3(9)+8(4)}{36}$

= $\frac{27+32}{36} = \frac{59}{36}$

=> Ans – (C)

2) Answer (B)

Sum of 2xy(3x + 4y – 5z) and 5yz(2x – 3y)

= $(6x^2y+8xy^2-10xyz)+(10xyz-15y^2z)$

= $6x^2y+8xy^2-15y^2z$

=> Ans – (B)

3) Answer (D)

Expression 1 : 4x – 7 < x – 2

=> $4x-x$ < $7-2$

=> $3x$ < $5$

=> $x$ < $\frac{5}{3}$ ————(i)

Expression 2 : $5x+\frac{2}{3}\geq3x+1$

=> $5x-3x \geq 1-\frac{2}{3}$

=> $2x \geq \frac{1}{3}$

=> $x \geq \frac{1}{6}$ ———–(ii)

Combining inequalities (i) and (ii), we get : $\frac{1}{6} \leq x$ < $\frac{5}{3}$

The only value that $x$ can take among the options = 1

=> Ans – (D)

4) Answer (C)

Equation 1 : 4x – 3y = 47

Equation 2 : 3x + y = 32

Multiplying equation (ii) by 3 and adding it to equation (i)

=> $(4x+9x)+(-3y+3y)=(47+96)$

=> $13x=143$

=> $x = \frac{143}{13}=11$

Substituting it in equation (ii), => $y=32-3(11) = 32 – 33 = -1$

$\therefore (x,y)=(11,-1)$

=> Ans – (C)

5) Answer (A)

Expression : $\frac{(4a^{2} + 8b + 14c + 2)}{2}$

= $\frac{2(2a^2+4b+7c+1)}{2}$

= $2a^2+4b+7c+1$

=> Ans – (A)

6) Answer (B)

A coefficient is a numerical or constant quantity placed before and multiplying the variable in an algebraic expression. Eg : In $ax^2$, coefficient is $a$

Expression : $(x + 9)(6 – 4x)$

= $6x – 4x^2 + 54 – 36x$

= $-4x^2 – 30x + 54$

$\therefore$ Coefficient of $x^2$ = -4

=> Ans – (B)

7) Answer (C)

Equation 1 : 7x + 6y = 5xy

Equation 2 : 10x -­ 4y = 4xy

Dividing both equations by $(xy)$

=> $\frac{7}{y} + \frac{6}{x} = 5$

and $\frac{10}{y}-\frac{4}{x} = 4$

Let $\frac{1}{y} = u$ and $\frac{1}{x} = v$

=> $7u+6v=5$ ————(iii)

and $10u-4v=4$ ————(iv)

Multiplying equation (iv) by 3 and equation (iii) by 2 and adding them, we get :

=> $(14u+30u) = (10+12)$

=> $u = \frac{22}{44} = \frac{1}{2}$

Substituting it in equation (iv), => $4v = 5 – 4 = 1$

=> $v = \frac{1}{4}$

$\therefore (x,y) = (4,2)$

=> Ans – (C)

8) Answer (A)

A coefficient is a numerical or constant quantity placed before and multiplying the variable in an algebraic expression. Eg : In $ax^2$, coefficient is $a$

Expression : $6x^{3}+4x^{2}+2x+3$

=> Coefficient of $x^2 = 4$

=> Ans – (A)

9) Answer (C)

On dividing $8a^{2}b^{2} c^{2}$ by $4a^{2}$

= $\frac{8a^2b^2c^2}{4a^2}$

= $\frac{8}{4} \times \frac{a^2}{a^2} \times (b^2c^2)$

= $2b^2c^2$

=> Ans – (C)

10) Answer (A)

Equation 1 : 2x + 6y = 3xy

Equation 2 : 10x -­ 3y = 4xy

Dividing both equations by $(xy)$

=> $\frac{2}{y} + \frac{6}{x} = 3$

and $\frac{10}{y}-\frac{3}{x} = 4$

Let $\frac{1}{y} = u$ and $\frac{1}{x} = v$

=> $2u+6v=3$ ————(iii)

and $10u-3v=4$ ————(iv)

Multiplying equation (iv) by 2 and adding it to equation (iii), we get :

=> $22u = 11$

=> $u = \frac{11}{22} = \frac{1}{2}$

Substituting it in equation (iii), => $6v = 3 – 1 = 2$

=> $v = \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}$

$\therefore (x,y) = (3,2)$

=> Ans – (A)

11) Answer (C)

Expression 1 : 2x – 3(4 – 2x) < 4x – 5

=> $2x-12+6x$ < $4x-5$

=> $8x-4x$ < $-5+12$

=> $4x$ < $7$

=> $x$ < $\frac{7}{4}$ ———–(i)

Expression 2 : 4x – 5 < 4x + 2x/3

=> $\frac{2x}{3}$ > $-5$

=> $x$ > $\frac{-15}{2}$ ———-(ii)

Combining inequalities (i) and (ii), we get : $\frac{-15}{2}$ < $x$ < $\frac{7}{4}$

The only value that $x$ can take among the options = 0

=> Ans – (C)

12) Answer (A)

Given : $(a – b) = 11$ and $ab = 24$

Using $(a – b)^2 = a^2 + b^2 – 2ab$

=> $(11)^2 = (a^2 + b^2) – (2 \times 24)$

=> $(a^2 + b^2) = 121 + 48 = 169$

=> Ans – (A)

13) Answer (B)

Expression : $(x+3)^{2}+(x-1)^{2}$

= $(x^2+9+6x)+(x^2+1-2x)$

= $2x^2+4x+10$

= $2(x^2+2x+5)$

=> Ans – (B)

14) Answer (B)

Let $m$ should be added to 5(2x-y) to obtain 4(2x – 3y) + 5(x + 4y)

=> $(m) + [5(2x-y)] = 4(2x-3y)+5(x+4y)$

=> $m + 10x-5y=8x-12y+5x+20y$

=> $m + 10x-5y=13x+8y$

=> $m = (13x-10x)+(8y+5y)$

=> $m=3x+13y$

=> Ans – (B)

15) Answer (D)

Expression 1 : 3(2 – 3x) < 2 – 3x

=> $6-9x$ < $2-3x$

=> $9x-3x$ > $6-2$

=> $6x$ > $4$

=> $x$ > $\frac{2}{3}$ ————(i)

Expression 2 : 2 – 3x ≥ 4x -6

=> $4x+3x \leq 2+6$

=> $7x \leq 8$

=> $x \leq \frac{8}{7}$ ———–(ii)

Combining inequalities (i) and (ii), we get : $\frac{2}{3}$ < $x \leq \frac{8}{7}$

The only value that $x$ can take among the options = 1

=> Ans – (D)

16) Answer (C)

Expression : (4x – 3) – (2x + 1) = 4

=> $4x-3-2x-1=4$

=> $2x-4=4$

=> $2x=4+4=8$

=> $x=\frac{8}{2}=4$

=> Ans – (C)

17) Answer (A)

A quadratic equation : $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$ has real and distinct roots iff Discriminant, $D = b^2 – 4ac$ > $0$

(A) : $3x^{2} – 6x + 2 = 0$

=> D = $(-6)^2 – 4(3)(2) = 36 – 24 = 12$

(B) : $3x^{2} – 6x + 3 = 0$

=> D = $(-6)^2 – 4(3)(3) = 36 – 36 = 0$

(C) : $x^{2} – 8x + 16 = 0$

=> D = $(-8)^2 – 4(1)(16) = 64 – 64 = 0$

(D) : $4x^{2} – 8x + 4 = 0$

=> D = $(-8)^2 – 4(4)(4) = 64 – 64 = 0$

Thus, the equation : $3x^{2} – 6x + 2 = 0$ has real and distinct roots.

18) Answer (B)

Expression : $(4a^{2}+12ab+9b^{2}/(2a+3b)$

= $\frac{(2a)^2+(3b)^2+(2.2a.3b)}{(2a+3b)}$

= $\frac{(2a+3b)^2}{(2a+3b)}$

= $2a+3b$

=> Ans – (B)

19) Answer (C)

A coefficient is a numerical or constant quantity placed before and multiplying the variable in an algebraic expression. Eg : In $ax^2$, coefficient is $a$

Expression : $(x + 9)(6 – 4x)(4x – 7)$

= $(6x – 4x^2 + 54 – 36x)(4x – 7)$

= $(-4x^2 – 30x + 54)(4x – 7)$

= $4x(-4x^2 – 30x + 54) – 7(-4x^2 – 30x + 54)$

= $-16x^3 – 120x^2 + 216x + 28x^2 + 210x – 378$

= $-20x^3 – 92x^2 + 426x – 378$

$\therefore$ Coefficient of $x^2$ = -92

=> Ans – (C)

20) Answer (C)

Expression 1 : 5x -3(2x-7) > 3x – 1

=> $5x-6x+21$ > $3x-1$

=> $3x+x$ < $21+1$

=> $4x$ < $22$

=> $x$ < $\frac{11}{2}$ ———-(i)

Expression 2 : 3x – 1 < 7 + 4x

=> $4x-3x$ > $-1-7$

=> $x$ > $-8$ ———-(ii)

Combining inequalities (i) and (ii), we get : $-8$ < $x$ < $\frac{11}{2}$

The only value that $x$ can take among the options = -6

=> Ans – (C)
