Answers & Solutions:

1) Answer (A)

We will try to maximize the value of the angle ACD:

For a fixed triangle ABC, the angle ACD can be maximized when we take the median CD to be perpendicular to AB and the value of AC is as small as possible, so that the sine of angle ACD, and hence, the angle ACD itself if maximized, as the value of AD is fixed at half of AB at 0.5.

Now, the least possible value of AC is 2. The triangle will be of sides (1,2,2).

Value of sin(ACD)=$\frac{0.5}{2}=0.25$

$\angle\ ACD=\sin^{-1}\left(0,25\right)=14.78\approx\ 15.$

2) Answer (A)

Since A, B and C are adjacent faces. If we remove them, the resultant solid will also be a cube with side 5.

Hence total number of cubes unpainted = $5^3$ = 125

3) Answer (C)

$\ \frac{\ dy}{dx}\ =\ 2x-6$

Slope of the tangent at R(4, 10) = 2

A normal will be perpendicular to tangent, so the slope of the normal = $\ \frac{\ -1}{2}$

Equation of the tangent at R(4, 10) =

y-10 = 2(x-4)

y=2x+2

The above line intersects Y-axis at P (0,2)

Equation of the normal at R(4, 10) =

y-10 = $\ \frac{\ -1}{2}$ (x-4)

2y=-x+24

The above line intersects Y-axis at Q (0,12)

Let the equation of the  circle be $x^2+y^2+2gx+2fy+c=0$ with centre (-g, -f)

Now we have to find the equation of the circle passing through P (0, 2), Q(0, 12), R(4, 10)

On substituting these values in the equation of the circle, we get g = 0, f = -7, c = 24

Radii of the circle = $\sqrt{\ \left(g^2+f^2-c\right)}$

= 5

4) Answer (A)

To make a regular hexagon, three equilateral triangles of side$\ \frac{\ a}{3}$ will be cut from the corners to make a regular hexagon of side a.

Hence, this hexagonal can be further divided into 6 equilateral triangles of side $\ \frac{\ a}{3}$.

Hence the area of the hexagon = $\ 6\cdot\ \frac{\ \sqrt{\ 3}}{4}$*($\ \ \frac{\ a}{3}$)$^2$ = $\frac{\sqrt3 a^2}{6}$

A is the answer.

5) Answer (B)

In triangle AFJ, $x_{1}$+180-a+180-b=180

=> $x_{1}$+180=a+b

Similarly, $x_{2}$+180=a+e

$x_{3}$+180=d+e

$x_{4}$+180=c+d

$x_{5}$+180=b+c

Adding all the equations,

$x_{1}$+$x_{2}$+$x_{3}$+$x_{4}$+$x_{5}$+180*5= 2(a+b+c+d+e)

=> Sum of interior angles = 2*(a+b+c+d+e)-900  = 2*540-900=180   (Sum of interior angles of a pentagon = 540)

6) Answer (B)

Let height of liquid level before the ball was dropped be h

The radius of the surface of the liquid level then is 4cm

$\frac{h}{3}\pi\ \left(4^2+3^2+4\cdot3\right)\ =200cc$

=> h = $\frac{600}{37\pi\ }$

The liquid level raises by 0.3h as a result of the solid metal ball being dropped.

By similarity, the radius of the surface of the liquid level after metal ball is dropped is 4.3cm

Volume of he solid metal ball = $\frac{1.3h}{3}\left(4^2+3^2+4.3\left(3\right)\right)\ -\ 200$ = 83.82cc

7) Answer (A)

S is the midpoint of QR. So, area of PSR = $\frac{1}{2}\left(Area\ of\ PQR\right)\ =\ \frac{5.8}{2}=2.9$

PT||XS

So area of XSP = area of XST ( same height and same base)

Adding area of XSR on both sides, we have area of PSR = Area of RTX

=>  area of PSR = Area of RTX = 2.9 sq.cm

8) Answer (D)

Let the side of the square x be denoted by $S_x$

Let the radius of the circle y be denoted by $r_y$ and diameter by $d_y$

$S_{s1}=4$

$r_{c1}=\frac{d_{c1}}{2}=\frac{4\sqrt{\ 2}}{2}=2\sqrt{\ 2}$

$S_{s2}=d_{c1}=4\sqrt{\ 2}$

$r_{c2}=4$

..

.

.

A1 = $\pi\ r_{c1}^2-S_{s1}^2\ =\ 8\pi\ -16$

A2 = $16\pi\ -32$

A3 = $32\pi\ -64$

Sum = $\frac{\left(8\pi\ -16\right)\left(2^n-1\right)}{2-1}\ =\ \left(8\pi\ -16\right)\left(2^n-1\right)$

Ratio = $\left(2^n-1\right)$

Since the value of n is unknown, the answer can be C or D

9) Answer (D)

The above area can be obtained by the following operation: Area of Big Square – Area of the Bigger circle + $4\times\ $ Area of Smaller Circle + $8\times\ $ Overlapping Area of smaller circles

i) Area of Big Square = $24\times\ 24=576$

ii) Area of Big circle = $\pi\ 12^2\ =\ 144\pi\ $

iii) Area of smaller circle = $\pi\ 6^2\ =\ 36\pi\ $

iv) For Area of smaller common area = 2b from below figure

Area b = Area of circular arc(2b+a) – Area of triangle (a+b)

= $\frac{1}{4}\left(36\pi\ \right)-\ \frac{1}{2}\left(6\times\ 6\right)$  =$9\pi\ -18$

Area of common part of smaller circle = 2b = $18\pi\ -36$

Therefore required area = $576-144\pi+\left(4\times\ 36\pi\right)-8\times\ \left(18\pi\ -36\right)$

= $288+144\pi\ $

None of the above are correct

10) Answer (B)

AC= $\sqrt{\ AB^2\ +BC^2}=\ \sqrt{\ 6^2+8^2\ }=10$

In-radius of right angled triangle = $\frac{\left(a+b-h\right)}{2}$

Inradius = $\frac{\left(6+8-10\right)}{2}=2$

11) Answer (A)

Midpoint of P(x1,y1) , Q(x2,y2) = C($\frac{x1+x2}{2},\ \frac{y1+y2}{2}$)

So $y=\frac{4-2}{2},\ -1=\ \frac{x+4}{2}$

On solving x=-6 and y=1

12) Answer (B)

Since AB is the diameter $\angle\ ADB\ =\ 90^0$

Which gives $\angle\ DAB\ =\ 50^0$

ABCD is cyclic quadrilateral so $\angle\ A+\angle\ C\ =\ 180^0$

Thus $\angle\ DCB\ =\ 130^0$

In$\bigtriangleup\ $ BCD, 2x+130 = 150

$x\ =\ 25^0$

13) Answer (C)

We have MN || AB
Now let area of CMN be A
so area of ABMN will be 2A
Now Area of triangle ABC will be 3A

Now since MN || AB
so we can say CMN is similar to CAB
So we can say
(CM/CA)^2 = Area of CMN : Area of CAB
so we can say CM :CA =$1:\sqrt{\ 3}$
Now therefore CM :AM = $1:\sqrt{\ 3}-1\ =\ \sqrt{\ 3}+1:2$

14) Answer (A)

$\angle\ DCB\ =90^0$ (Since each angle in a square is 90)

$\angle\ BCE\ =60^0$ (Since each angle in an equilateral triangle is 60)

$\angle\ DCE\ =90^0+ 60^0$  = $150^0$

In $\triangle\ DCE$, the sides DC and CE are equal, so the angles opposite to them are equal.

$\angle\ DCE$ = $\angle\ CDE$ = $\ \frac{\ 180-150}{2}$

=$15^0$

A is the correct answer.

15) Answer (B)

Area of the park = (60 x 40) m² = 2400 m².

Area of the lawn = 2109 m².

Area of the crossroads = (2400 – 2109) m² = 291 m².

Let the width of the road be x metres.

Then, 60x + 40x – x² = 291

x² – 100x + 291 = 0

(x – 97)(x – 3) = 0

x = 3.

B is the correct answer

16) Answer (D)

Let the radius of solid sphere be r.

The volume of sphere $V_s$= $\ \frac{\ 4}{3}$ πr³

It is melted and recast into a right circular cone of radius r and height h.

The volume of cone $V_c$= $\ \frac{\ 1}{3}$ πr²h

The same volume of material is used for recasting. Therefore,

$V_s=V_c$

$\ \frac{\ 4}{3}$πr³ =  $\ \frac{\ 1}{3}$ πr²h

h = 4r

$\ \frac{\ h}{r}$  = 4
D is the correct answer.

17) Answer (C)

Area of the tunnel to be filled with concrete = 16*8-$\pi\ \left(32\right)$

Length of the length along which the tunnel has to be filled with concrete = 500m

Volume = 16*8-$\pi\ \left(32\right)$*500

= $32(4-\pi)$*500

Cost of concrete per $1 m^3$ = 1000

Cost of $32(4-\pi)$*500 = $32(4-\pi)$*500*1000

=$16(4-\pi)*10^{6}$

C is the correct answer.

18) Answer (C)

Join BD

Area of ABCD = area of ABD + area of BCD

In ABD $AB^2\ +\ AD^2\ =BD^2$

Therefore   $24^{2\ }+\ 18^{2\ }=\ BD^2$ , on solving BD= 30

also $30^{2\ }+\ 40^2\ =50^2$ which implies BCD is also a right-angled triangle

Area of ABD = $\frac{1}{2}\times\ 24\times\ 18$ = 216

Area of BCD = $\frac{1}{2}\times\ 30\times\ 40$= 600

Area of ABCD = 816

19) Answer (A)

$y^2 = 4x$  , a =1

Equation of normal is $y=mx-2am-am^3$

=> $y=mx-2m-m^3$

It passes through R(9,-6)

=> -6 = 9m -2m – $m^3$

=> $\left(m+1\right)\left(m-3\right)\left(m+2\right)=0$

=> m =-1,3,-2

$y^2 = 4x$

$2yy’=4\ =>\ y’=\frac{2}{y}$

Slope of the normal = -y/2

-y/2 = -1 => y=2 => x= 1  hence one point is P(1,2)

-y/2 = 3 => y=-6 => x=9 hence secoond point is R(9,-6)

-y/2=-2 => y =4 => x=4 hence third point is Q(4,4)

PQ = $\sqrt{\ 13}$

20) Answer (B)

$x^2 — 7x + 6 = 0$ => x= 1, x=6$PM\ =\sqrt{\ PW^2-MW^2}$

$y^2 — 14y + 40 = 0$ => y= 4, y=10

$W\ =\ \left(\frac{1+6}{2},\frac{4+10}{2}\right)\ =\ \left(\frac{7}{2},7\right)$

QR = 6-1 =5

r = (10-4)/2 = 3

PW = r= 3

MW = QR/2 = 5/2

$PM\ =\sqrt{\ PW^2-MW^2}$ = $\frac{\sqrt{\ 11}}{2}$

PQ=2PM = $\sqrt{\ 11}$

Area of PQRS = QR x PQ = $5\sqrt{\ 11}$
