Answers & Solutions:
1) Answer (C)
Expression : $X=0.3\times0.3$
=> $X=0.09$
=> Ans – (C)
2) Answer (B)
As c=0, and substituting the point (0,0) in the equation, we get ax+by+c = 0 at the point (0,0).
Hence, the line passes through origin.
3) Answer (D)
$t_{1}=1$, $t_{2}=2$
$t_{n+2}$ = $t_{n}+t_{n+1}$
put n=3, then $t_{5}$ = $t_{3}+t_{4}$
$t_{3}$ = $t_{1}+t_{2}$ = 1+2 = 3
$t_{4}$ = $t_{2}+t_{3}$ = 2+3 = 5
$t_{5}$ = $t_{3}+t_{4}$ = 3+5 = 8
so the answer is option D.
4) Answer (C)
Expression : $\frac{3596}{4292}$
Dividing both numerator and denominator by 4, = $\frac{899}{1073}$
Similarly, dividing by 29, we get :
= $\frac{31}{37}$
=> Ans – (C)
5) Answer (B)
Expression : $\frac{2530}{1430}$
Dividing both numerator and denominator by 10, we get = $\frac{253}{143}$
Similarly, dividing by 11, we get :
= $\frac{23}{13}$
=> Ans – (B)
6) Answer (A)
First term of AP, $a=-32$ and last term, $l=43$
Let there be $n$ terms
Sum of AP = $\frac{n}{2}(a+l) = 88$
=> $\frac{n}{2}(-32+43)=88$
=> $\frac{11n}{2}=88$
=> $n=88 \times \frac{2}{11}$
=> $n=8 \times 2=16$
=> Ans – (A)
7) Answer (A)
Let the number be $x$
According to ques, 0.8% of $x$ = 29
=> $\frac{0.8}{100} \times x = 29$
=> $\frac{x}{125} = 29$
=> $x = 29 \times 125 = 3625$
=> Ans – (A)
8) Answer (D)
Expression : 5*[-0.6 (2.8 + 1.2)] of 0.3
= $5 [(-0.6) \times (4)] \times 0.3$
= $5 \times (-2.4) \times 0.3$
= $(-12) \times 0.3 = -3.6$
=> Ans – (D)
9) Answer (D)
Terms in arithmetic progression : $(3x + p) , (x – 10) , (-x + 16)$
=> Difference between first two terms is equal to the difference between last two terms
=> $(x – 10) – (3x + p) = (-x + 16) – (x – 10)$
=> $-2x -10 – p = -2x + 16 + 10$
=> $-p = 26 + 10 = 36$
=> $p = -36$
=> Ans – (D)
10) Answer (A)
Let the number be $x$
According to ques,
=> $\frac{9}{4} \times \frac{7}{2} \times x = 126$
=> $\frac{63}{8} x = 126$
=> $x = \frac{126}{63} \times 8$
=> $x = 2 \times 8 = 16$
$\therefore (\frac{7}{2})^{th}$ of the number = $\frac{7}{2} \times 16$
= $7 \times 8 = 56$
=> Ans – (A)
11) Answer (C)
Let line $l$ perpendicularly bisects line joining A(2,-5) and B(0,7) at C, thus C is the mid point of AB.
=> Coordinates of C = $(\frac{2 + 0}{2} , \frac{-5 + 7}{2})$
= $(\frac{2}{2} , \frac{2}{2}) = (1,1)$
Now, slope of AB = $\frac{y_2 – y_1}{x_2 – x_1} = \frac{(7 + 5)}{(0 – 2)}$
= $\frac{12}{-2} = -6$
Let slope of line $l = m$
Product of slopes of two perpendicular lines = -1
=> $m \times -6 = -1$
=> $m = \frac{1}{6}$
Equation of a line passing through point $(x_1,y_1)$ and having slope $m$ is $(y – y_1) = m(x – x_1)$
$\therefore$ Equation of line $l$
=> $(y – 1) = \frac{1}{6}(x – 1)$
=> $6y – 6 = x – 1$
=> $x – 6y = 1 – 6 = -5$
=> Ans – (C)
12) Answer (B)
Using section formula, the coordinates of point that divides line joining A = $(x_1 , y_1)$ and B = $(x_2 , y_2)$ in the ratio a : b
= $(\frac{a x_2 + b x_1}{a + b} , \frac{a y_2 + b y_1}{a + b})$
Coordinates of A(0,4) and B(-5,9). Let coordinates of P = (x,y) which divides AB in ratio = 2 : 3
=> $x = \frac{(2 \times -5) + (3 \times 0)}{2 + 3}$
=> $5x = -10$
=> $x = \frac{-10}{5} = -2$
Similarly, $y = \frac{(2 \times 9) + (3 \times 4)}{2 + 3}$
=> $5y = 18 + 12 = 30$
=> $y = \frac{30}{5} = 6$
=> Point P = (-2,6)
Slope of AB = $\frac{9 – 4}{-5 – 0} = \frac{5}{-5} = -1$
Let slope of line perpendicular to AB = $m$
Also, product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1
=> $m \times -1 = -1$
=> $m = 1$
Equation of lines having slope $m$ and passing through point P(-2,6) is
=> $(y – 6) = 1(x + 2)$
=> $y – 6 = x + 2$
=> $x – y = -8$
=> Ans – (B)
13) Answer (A)
Coordinates of centroid of triangle with vertices $(x_1 , y_1)$ , $(x_2 , y_2)$ and $(x_3 , y_3)$ is $(\frac{x_1 + x_2 + x_3}{3} , \frac{y_1 + y_2 + y_3}{3})$
Let coordinates of vertex C = $(x , y)$
Vertex A(6,-4) and Vertex B(-2,2) and Centroid = (-1,-2)
=> $-1 = \frac{-2 + 6 + x}{3}$
=> $x + 4 = -1 \times 3 = -3$
=> $x = -3 – 4 = -7$
Similarly, => $-2 = \frac{-4 + 2 + y}{3}$
=> $y – 2 = -2 \times 3 = -6$
=> $y = -6 + 2 = -4$
$\therefore$ Coordinates of vertex C = (-7,-4)
=> Ans – (A)
14) Answer (D)
Slope of line passing through points (4,-2) and (-3,5)
= $\frac{5 + 2}{-3 – 4} = \frac{7}{-7} = -1$
Slope of two parallel lines is always equal.
=> Slope of the line parallel to the line having slope -1 = $-1$
=> Ans – (D)
15) Answer (C)
Slope of line having equation : $ax + by + c = 0$ is $\frac{-a}{b}$
=> Slope of line $20x + 5y = 3$ is $\frac{-20}{5} = -4$
Slope line passing through (-2,5) and (6,b) = $\frac{b – 5}{6 + 2} = \frac{(b – 5)}{8}$
Also, product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1
=> $\frac{(b – 5)}{8} \times -4 = -1$
=> $b – 5 = \frac{8}{4} = 2$
=> $b = 2 + 5 = 7$
=> Ans – (C)
16) Answer (B)
Slope of line having equation : $ax + by + c = 0$ is $\frac{-a}{b}$
Thus, slope of line $4x + y = 1$ is $\frac{-4}{1} = -4$
Similarly, slope of line $5x + ky = 2$ is $\frac{-5}{k}$
Also, product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1
=> $\frac{-5}{k} \times -4 = -1$
=> $\frac{20}{k} = -1$
=> $k = -20$
=> Ans – (B)
17) Answer (A)
0.09 = $\frac{9}{100}$
$\sqrt{\frac{9}{100}} = \frac{3}{10}$ = 0.3
18) Answer (C)
let’s say n be a number whose perfect square lie between 120 and 300
hence 120<$n^{2}$<300
or $121\leq n^{2} \leq289$
or $11\leq n^{2} \leq17$
19) Answer (B)
since we know volume will remain same while melting
$\pi r_{1}^{2}h= \frac{4}{3}\pi r_{2}^{3}$
where $r_{1}$ is radius of cylinderical wire and $r_{2}$ is radius of sphere and h is length of wire
putting values we will get $r_{2}$ = 3 cm.
20) Answer (D)
As we know $(a-b)^{2}$ = $a^{2} + b^{2} – 2ab$
We assume that first number is a and second number is b hence ab = 45
and a – b = 4
after putiing values we will get $a^{2} + b^{2}$ = 106
