Answers & Solutions:
1) Answer (B)
by applying BODMAS we have
=462.767-(34.428*3)+134.568
=462.767-103.285+134.568
=494.05
2) Answer (A)
by applying BODMAS we have
=245+1280-312
=1525-312
=1213
3) Answer (D)
Expression : $77 + 78 + 79 + ……… +113$
This is an arithmetic progression with first term, $a = 77$ , last term, $l = 113$ and common difference, $d = 1$
Let number of terms = $n$
Last term in an A.P. = $a + (n – 1)d = 113$
=> $77 + (n – 1)(1) = 113$
=> $n – 1 = 113 – 77 = 36$
=> $n = 36 + 1 = 37$
$\therefore$ Sum of A.P. = $\frac{37}{2} (a + l)$
= $\frac{37}{2} (77 + 113)$
= $95 \times 37 = 3515$
4) Answer (D)
The $n^{th}$ term of an A.P. = $a + (n – 1) d$, where ‘a’ is the first term , ‘n’ is the number of terms and ‘d’ is the common difference.
3rd term, $A_3 = a + (3 – 1) d = 1$
=> $a + 2d = 1$ —————–(i)
Similarly, 9th term, $A_{9} = a + 8d = 25$ ——————(ii)
Subtracting equation (i) from (ii), we get :
=> $(8d – 2d) = 25 – 1$
=> $d = \frac{24}{6} = 4$
Substituting it in equation (i), => $a + 8 = 1$
=> $a = 1 – 8 = -7$
$\therefore$ 13th term, $A_{13} = a + (13 – 1)d$
= $-7 + (12 \times 4) = -7+48 = 41$
=> Ans – (D)
5) Answer (B)
Given, Expression : $\frac{13167}{19019}$
We need to check whether any of the prime factors from 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19…… divides both numerator & denominator.
We observe that they can be divided by 7, 11 & 19.
Dividing both numerator and denominator by 7, we get = $\frac{1881}{2717}$
Similarly, dividing by 11, we get :
= $\large\frac{171}{247}$
Similarly, dividing by 19, we get :
= $\large\frac{9}{13}$
=> Ans – (B)
6) Answer (A)
Let the number be $n$
According to ques, 1.8% of $n$ = 45
=> $\frac{1.8}{100} \times n = 45$
=> $\frac{1.8n}{100} = 45$
=> $n = \large\frac{45 \times 100}{1.8}$ $ = 2500$
=> Ans – (A)
7) Answer (D)
Given Expression : $\large\frac{2275}{2457}$
We need to check whether any of the prime factors from 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19…… divides both numerator & denominator.
We observe that they can be divided by 7, 13.
Dividing both numerator and denominator by 13, we get = $\frac{175}{189}$
Similarly, dividing by 7, we get :
= $\frac{25}{27}$
=> Ans – (D)
8) Answer (B)
Given, $t_{1}=2$, $t_{2}=3$
$t_{n+2}$ = $t_{n}+2t_{n+1}$
putting n=2, we get the 4th term. therefore, $t_{4}$ = $t_{2}+2t_{3}$
So,we need to find, $t_{3}$
$t_{3}$ = $t_{1}+2t_{2}$ = 2+2(3) = 8
$t_{4}$ = $t_{2}+2t_{3}$ = 3+2(8) = 19
so the answer is option B.
9) Answer (A)
Given, $\ p^{2}+16q^{2}\ = 8pq$
$p^{2}+16q^{2}=6pq$
$\Rightarrow p^{2}-8pq+16q^{2}=0$
$\Rightarrow (p-4q)^{2}=0$
$\Rightarrow p-4q=0$
$\Rightarrow p=4q$
$\Rightarrow \frac{p}{q}$=$\frac{4}{1}$
$\therefore p: q=4: 1$
10) Answer (C)
Given, $7\Large\frac{1}{3}$ $+$ $5\Large\frac{1}{4}$ $-$ $8\Large\frac{3}{5}$ $+$ $15\Large\frac{2}{7}$ $=$?
= 7+5-8+15+$\large\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}-\frac{3}{5}+\frac{2}{7}$
=19+ $\large\frac{140+105-252+120}{420}$
= 19$\large\frac{113}{420}$
11) Answer (B)
7$\frac{1}{5}$+2$\frac{1}{3}$-4$\frac{2}{15}$-3$\frac{5}{18}$+5$\frac{2}{9}$
= 7+2-4-3+5+$\frac{1}{5}$+$\frac{1}{3}$-$\frac{2}{15}$-$\frac{5}{18}$+$\frac{2}{9}$
=7+ $\frac{18+30-12-25+20}{90}$
= 7$\frac{31}{90}$
12) Answer (A)
$\Large\frac{628}{60}$ $-$ $\Large\frac{44}{45}\div\frac{6}{9}$ $+$ $\Large\frac{575}{624}\div\frac{25}{104}$ $+$ $\Large\frac{13}{15}\div\frac{2}{5}$
$=$ $\Large\frac{314}{30}$ $-$ $\Large\frac{44}{30}$ $+$ $\Large\frac{115}{30}$ $+$ $\Large\frac{65}{30}$
$=$ $\Large\frac{450}{30}$ $=15$
13) Answer (C)
$15.921$ $+$ $9.679$ $+$ $101.36$ $-$ $94.76$ $-$ $17.976$ $-$ $6.224$ $=$ ?
Adding all Positive terms:
$15.921$ $+$ $9.679$ $+$ $101.36$ $=$ $126.96$
Adding all Negative terms:
$94.76$ $+$ $17.976$ $+$ $6.224$ $=$ $118.96$
$126.96$ $-$ $118.96$ $=$ $8$
14) Answer (C)
$\large\sqrt{1936}\div\sqrt[3]{1331}\times\sqrt{50625}\div\sqrt{14400}\times\sqrt{64}$ $-$ $\large7920\div132$ $=$ ?
$\Large\frac{44}{11}$ $\times$ $\Large\frac{225}{(\Large\frac{120}{8})}$ $-$ $\Large\frac{7920}{132}$
$4$ $\times$ $15$ $-$ $60$ $=$ $0$
15) Answer (A)
$522\div150\times25$ $=$ $87$
$96\div180\times15$ $=$ $8$
$\Large\frac{1125}{135}$ $\div$ $\Large\frac{5}{9}$ $=$ $15$
$87$ $+$ $8$ $-$ $15$ $=$ $80$
16) Answer (A)
17) Answer (C)
$x^{2}+9y^{2}$=6xy
$\Rightarrow x^{2}-6xy+9y^{2}$=0
$\Rightarrow (x-3y)^{2}$=0
$\Rightarrow$ x-3y=0
$\Rightarrow$ x=3y
$\Rightarrow \frac{x}{y}$=$\frac{3}{1}$
$\therefore$ x:y=3:1
18) Answer (A)
Terms = $3^{200},\ 2^{300}\ and\ 7^{100}$
Dividing all the exponents by 100, we get :
$\equiv3^2,2^3,7^1$
= $9,8,7$
Thus, the largest number = $9\equiv3^{200}$
=> Ans – (A)
19) Answer (A)
Total number of students = 40
Among the student who have passed, Raman’s rank from top = 13th
Raman’s rank from bottom = 17th
=> Total students who passed = $(13+17)-1=30-1=29$
$\therefore$ Number of students who have failed = $40-29=11$
=> Ans – (A)
20) Answer (B)
Expression : 25 + 18 ÷ 2 – 4 = 20
(A) : + and ÷
$\equiv25\div18+2-4=20$
L.H.S. = $1.39-2=-0.61\neq20$
(B) : + and –
$\equiv25-18\div2+4=20$
L.H.S. = $25-9+4=20$
=> Ans – (B)
