Answers & Solutions:

1) Answer (C)

Given $(3^{x})(3^y) = 9$

=> $3^{x+y} = 3^{2}$

=> x+y = 2 — (1)

$(5^{x})(125^y) = 625$
=> $(5^{x})((5^3)^y) = 5^4$
=> $(5^x)(5^3y) =5^4$
=> $5^x+3y = 5^4$
=> $x+3y = 4$ — (2)
Solving (1) and (2)

=> 2y = 2 => y = 1
Substituting y = 1 in (1) –> x = 1

Therefore, (x,y) = (1,1)

2) Answer (A)

Given 2x+y = 3 and x+2y = 3
Solving above equations,
We get x = 1 and y = 1.
Hence, the lines intersect at (1,1)

3) Answer (B)

The given equation is in the form of
$\large\frac{a^3+b^3+c^3-3abc}{a^2+b^2+c^2-(ab+bc+ca)}$

We know that $a^3+b^3+c^3-3abc = (a+b+c)(a^2+b^2+c^2-(ab+bc+ca))$

=> $\frac{a^3+b^3+c^3-3abc}{a^2+b^2+c^2-(ab+bc+ca)} = a+b+c$

Then, $\Large\frac{\frac{1}{2}.\frac{1}{2}.\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}.\frac{1}{4}.\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{5}.\frac{1}{5}.\frac{1}{5}-3.\frac{1}{2}.\frac{1}{4}.\frac{1}{5}}{\frac{1}{2}.\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}.\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{5}.\frac{1}{5}-(\frac{1}{2}.\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}.\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{2}.\frac{1}{5})}$ $= \large\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{5} = \frac{10+5+4}{20} = \frac{19}{20}$

4) Answer (A)

The given equation is in the form of
$\large\frac{a^3+b^3+c^3-3abc}{a^2+b^2+c^2-(ab+bc+ca)}$

We know that $a^3+b^3+c^3-3abc = (a+b+c)(a^2+b^2+c^2-(ab+bc+ca))$

=> $\frac{a^3+b^3+c^3-3abc}{a^2+b^2+c^2-(ab+bc+ca)} = a+b+c$

Then, $\Large\frac{\frac{1}{3}.\frac{1}{3}.\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}.\frac{1}{4}.\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{9}.\frac{1}{9}.\frac{1}{9}-3.\frac{1}{3}.\frac{1}{4}.\frac{1}{9}}{\frac{1}{3}.\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}.\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{9}.\frac{1}{9}-(\frac{1}{3}.\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}.\frac{1}{9}+\frac{1}{3}.\frac{1}{9})}$ $= \large\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{9} = \frac{12+9+4}{36} = \frac{25}{36}$

5) Answer (C)

we have $(a-b)^{2}$=$a^{2}+b^{2}-2ab$
Comparing this with 97-56$\sqrt{3}$=$a^{2}+b^{2}-2ab$
We have 97=$a^{2}+b^{2}$
For a=7 and b=4$\sqrt{3}$ it gets satisfied and also 2ab=2*7*4$\sqrt{3}$
So the $(7-4\sqrt{3})^{2}$=$7^{2}+(4\sqrt{3})^{2}-2*7*4*\sqrt{3}$
And so required answer is 7-4$\sqrt{3}$

6) Answer (B)

We have to factorise the number into prime factors i.e
14560=$2^{5}*5*13*7$
There are 4 different prime factors namely 2,5,7 and 13.

7) Answer (C)

We have to factorise the number into prime factors i.e
15680=$2^{6}*5*7^{2}$
No of even factors =6*(1+1)*(2+1)
=36

8) Answer (D)

We have to factorise the number into prime factors i.e
16200=$2^{3}*5^{2}*3^{4}$
No of even factors =3*(2+1)*(4+1)
=45

Hence, Option D is correct answer

9) Answer (A)

We have to factorise the number into prime factors i.e
3920=$2^{4}*5*7^{2}$
No of even factors =4*(1+1)*(2+1)
= 24

10) Answer (C)

We have to factorise the number into prime factors i.e
13500=$2^{2}*3^{3}*5^{3}$
No of odd factors =1*(3+1)*(3+1)
= 16

11) Answer (B)

We have to factorise the number into prime factors i.e
5544 = $2^{3}*3^{2}*7*11$
No of prime factors =4 (2, 3, 7, 11)

12) Answer (A)

we have $(a-b)^{2}$=$a^{2}+b^{2}-2ab$

Comparing this with $214-78\sqrt{5}$ = $a^{2}+b^{2}-2ab$

We have 214=$a^{2}+b^{2}$

& $ab = 39\sqrt{5}$

For a=13 and b=3$\sqrt{5}$; 2ab=2*13*3$\sqrt{5}$

And so required answer is 13-3$\sqrt{5}$

13) Answer (C)

Given, $(9^{x})(3^y) = 81$ and $(2^{x})(4^y) = 32$
$(9^{x})(3^y) = 81$
=> $3^{2x+y} = 3^{4}$
=> $2x+y = 4$ — (1)
$(2^{x})(4^y) = 32$
=> $(2^{x})((2^2)^y) = 2^5$
=> $2^x 2^{2y} = 2^5$
=> $x+2y = 5$ — (2)
Solving (1) and (2)
=> $y = 2$
Substituting y = 2 in (1) –> x = 1
Therefore, $(x,y) = (1,2)$

14) Answer (A)

Given p = 21, q = -16, r = -5,
Then p+q+r = 0.

We know that if p+q+r = 0, then $p^{3}+q^{3}+r^{3} = 3pqr$

Then, $\large\frac{8p^{3}+8q^{3}+8r^{3}}{9pqr}$

=$\large\frac{8p^{3}+8q^{3}+8r^{3}}{9pqr}$

= $\Large\frac{8(3pqr)}{9pqr}$

= $\Large\frac{8}{3}$

15) Answer (A)

Let $\sqrt{12+\sqrt{12+\sqrt{12+……}}}$ = X

Then, $\sqrt{12+X} = X$

Squaring on both sides,

$12+X = X^{2}$

⇒ $X^{2}-X-12 = 0$

⇒ $X^{2}-4X+3X-12 = 0$

⇒ $X(X-4)+3(X-4) = 0$

⇒ $(X-4)(X+3) = 0$

⇒ $X = 4$ or $X = -3$

X cannot be negative when all the terms are positive.
Hence, $X = 4$

 

16) Answer (D)

In the cycle of 7 power we get
$7^{1}=7$
$7^{2}=49$
$7^{3}=243$
$7^{4}=1701$
And this cycle repeats. Cyclicity =4
$437^{4(19)+3}$ has 3 as its unit digit.

17) Answer (D)

Given $(p-q)^{2} = 9$ and $(p+q)^{2} = 121$

$(p+q)^{2} = (p-q)^{2}+4pq$

$121 = 9+4pq$

=> $4pq = 112$

$pq = 28$

$(p+q)^{2} = 121$

=> $p+q = 11$ As, $p,q>0$

Hence, $\frac{pq}{p+q} = \frac{28}{11}$

 

18) Answer (B)

$639^{147}$

In the cycle of 9 power we get
$9^{1}=9$
$9^{2}=81$
$9^{3}=729$
$9^{4}=6561$
And this cycle repeats. Cyclicity =2

$639^{2(73)+1}$ ends with 9

19) Answer (D)

Given, $3p – (1/2)(p -3) = 14$

$(6p – p +3)/2 = 14$

$(5p +3)/2 = 14$

$(5p +3) = 28$

$5p = 25$

$ p = 5$

20) Answer (D)

Let that fraction be $\dfrac{1}{f}$

$ (\dfrac{1}{f}) = f + \dfrac{9}{20}$

$\Rightarrow 20f^{2}+9f-20 = 0$

$\Rightarrow(4f+5)(5f-4)=0$

$\Rightarrow(f+\frac{5}{4})(f-\frac{4}{5})=0$

$\Rightarrow f = \dfrac{-5}{4}$ or $\dfrac{4}{5}$

$\Large\Rightarrow$ fraction $=$ $\Large\frac{1}{f}$
$=$ $\Large\frac{-4}{5}$ (or) $\Large\frac{5}{4}$
