c) 5

d) 7

For the given two equations 3x+5y=20 and 24x+40y=k
8(3x+5y)=k
3x+5y=($\frac{k}{8}$)
They have infinite solutions if k=160 and for all other values of k it will have no solution.

x+3y=12$\rightarrow$ 1
5(x+3y)=3k
x+3y=$\frac{3k}{5}\rightarrow$ 2
These both equations represent a single equation and have infinite solutions when $\frac{3k}{5}$=12.
$\therefore$ k=20.

Given (2,0) is a solution of the equation 2x + 3y = k.

Substitute x = 2 and y = 0

k = 2(2) + 3(0) = 4

Hence, option D is the correct answer.

Equation of line : $18x+25y-900=0$

To find x-intercept, we need to put $y=0$ (and vice-versa)

=> $18x+25(0)=900$

=> $x=\frac{900}{18}=50$

=> Ans – (C)

Equations : 7x+4y-16=0 and 14x+6y-32=0

Comparing the ratio of coefficients of both equations,

=> $\frac{7}{14}\neq\frac{4}{6}$

Thus, there is only 1 solution.

=> Ans – (B)

Equation = $59x+14y-112=0$

=> $14y=-59x+112$

=> $y=\frac{-59x+112}{14}$

=> $y=\frac{-59}{14}x+8$

Comparing above equation with $y=mx+c$, where $c$ is the y-intercept.

=> y-intercept = 8

=> Ans – (A)

Given : $x^3-y^3=112$ ————–(i)

Also, $x-y=4$ ————-(ii)

Cubing both sides, we get :

=> $(x-y)3=(4)^3$

=> $(x^3-y^3)-3(x)(y)(x-y)=64$

Substituting values from equations (i) and (ii),

=> $112-3xy(4)=64$

=> $12xy=112-64=48$

=> $xy=\frac{48}{12}=4$ ———–(iii)

Now, squaring equation (ii), we get :

=> $x^2+y^2-2xy=16$

=> $x^2+y^2=16+8=24$

=> Ans – (C)

Given : $\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{z}=0$

=> $\frac{yz+zx+xy}{xyz}=0$

=> $xy+yz+zx=0$ ————-(i)

Also, $x+y+z=11$ ————(ii)

Squaring both sides, we get :

=> $(x+y+z)^2=(11)^2$

=> $(x^2+y^2+z^2)+2(xy+yz+zx)=121$

Substituting value from equation (i),

=> $x^2+y^2+z^2=121$ ————(iii)

To find : $x^{3}+y^{3}+z^{3}-3xyz$

= $(x+y+z)[(x^2+y^2+z^2)-(xy+yz+zx)]$

Substituting values from equations (i), (ii) and (iii),

= $(11)(121-0)$

= $11\times121=1331$

=> Ans – (A)

Given : $P=\frac{\sqrt7-\sqrt6}{\sqrt7+\sqrt6}$ —————(i)

=> $\frac{1}{P}=\frac{\sqrt7+\sqrt6}{\sqrt7-\sqrt6}$ ———-(ii)

=> $P+\frac{1}{P}=(\frac{\sqrt7-\sqrt6}{\sqrt7+\sqrt6})+(\frac{\sqrt7+\sqrt6}{\sqrt7-\sqrt6})$

= $\frac{(\sqrt7-\sqrt6)^2+(\sqrt7+\sqrt6)^2}{(\sqrt7+\sqrt6)(\sqrt7-\sqrt6)}$

= $\frac{(13-2\sqrt{42})+(13+2\sqrt{42})}{7-6}$

= $13+13=26$

=> Ans – (D)

Given $\frac{1}{x+2}=\frac{1}{3}$

We get x = 1 …..(1)

$\frac{3}{y+3}=\frac{1}{3}$

we get y = 6 …..(2)

$\frac{1331}{z+1331}=\frac{1}{3}$

we get z = 2662 ….(3)

We need to find $\frac{x}{x+1}+\frac{3}{y+3}+\frac{z}{z+2662}$

Substitute equations (1), (2) and (3) in the above equation

= $\frac{1}{1+1}+\frac{3}{6+3}+\frac{2662}{2662+2662}$

= $\frac{1}{2}+\frac{3}{9}+\frac{1}{2}$

= $\frac{3}{2}$

Hence, option C is the correct answer.

Given : $x=a(b-c)$ , $y=b(c-a)$ , $z=c(a-b)$

=> $\frac{x}{a}=(b-c)$ ————-(i)

and $\frac{y}{b}=(c-a)$ ————-(ii)

and $\frac{z}{c}=(a-b)$ ————-(iii)

Adding equations (i), (ii) and (iii), we get :

=> $\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}+\frac{z}{c}=(b-c)+(c-a)+(a-b)$

=> $\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}+\frac{z}{c}=0$

Now, we know that if $(p+q+r)=0$, then $p^3+q^3+r^3=3pqr$

$\therefore$ $(\frac{x}{a})^3\ +\ (\frac{y}{b})^3\ +\ (\frac{z}{c})^3\$

= $3\times(\frac{x}{a})\times(\frac{y}{b})\times(\frac{z}{c})$

= $\frac{3xyz}{abc}$

=> Ans – (C)

Let scores of A, B and C are $a,b$ and $c$ respectively.

According to ques, => $a+b=120$ ————–(i)

$b+c=130$ ————–(ii)

$c+a=140$ ————–(iii)

Adding above equations, we get : $2(a+b+c)=(120+130+140)$

=> $a+b+c=\frac{390}{2}=195$

Substituting value from equation (i) in above equation,

=> $120+c=195$

=> $c=195-120=75$

=> Ans – (D)

Given : $x(x+y+z)=20$

=> $x^2+xy+xz=20$ —————–(i)

Similarly, => $y^2+xy+yz=30$ —————–(ii)

and $z^2+xz+yz=50$ —————–(iii)

Adding equations (i), (ii) and (iii), we get :

=> $(x^2+y^2+z^2)+2(xy+yz+xz)=20+30+50$

=> $(x+y+z)^2=100$

=> $(x+y+z)=\sqrt{100}=10$

$\therefore$ $2(x+y+z)=2\times10=20$

=> Ans – (D)

Given : $cos\ \theta + sin\ \theta=m$ ————–(i)

Squaring both sides, we get :

=> $(cos\ \theta + sin\ \theta)^2=(m)^2$

=> $cos^2\ \theta+sin^2\ \theta+2sin\ \theta.cos\ \theta=m^2$

=> $1+2sin\ \theta.cos\ \theta=m^2$

=> $sin\ \theta.cos\ \theta=\frac{m^2-1}{2}$ ————-(ii)

Also, it is given that : $sec\ \theta + cosec\ \theta=n$

=> $\frac{1}{cos\ \theta}+\frac{1}{sin\ \theta}=n$

=> $\frac{sin\ \theta+cos\ \theta}{sin\ \theta.cos\ \theta}=n$

Using equations (i) and (ii), => $m=\frac{m^2-1}{2}\times n$

=> $n(m^2-1)=2m$

=> Ans – (D)

Given : $x=a(sin\ \theta + cos\ \theta)$ and $y=(sin\ \theta – cos\ \theta)$

Squaring both sides, we get :

=> $x^2=a^2(sin\ \theta+cos\ \theta)^2$

=> $x^2=a^2(sin^2\ \theta+cos^2\ \theta+2sin\ \theta.cos\ \theta)$

=> $x^2=a^2(1+2sin\ \theta.cos\ \theta)$

=> $\frac{x^2}{a^2}=1+2sin\ \theta.cos\ \theta$ —————-(i)

Similarly, $\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1-2sin\ \theta.cos\ \theta$ —————-(i)

Adding both equations (i) and (ii),

=> $\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{v^{2}}{b^{2}}$ $=(1+2sin\ \theta.cos\ \theta)+(1-2sin\ \theta.cos\ \theta)$

= $1+1=2$

=> Ans – (C)

Let ideal speed of man = $s$ km/hr and ideal time = $t$ hours

=> Distance = $d=st$ ————(i)

According to ques, => $d=(s+3)(t-1)$

=> $d=st-s+3t-3$

Thus, using equation (i), => $3t-s=3$ ————(ii)

Also, $d=(s-2)(t+1)$

=> $d=st+s-2t-2$

=> $-2t+s=2$ ————(iii)

Adding equations (ii) and (iii), we get :

=> $3t-2t=3+2$

=> $t=5$

Substituting above value in equation (ii), => $s=3(5)-3=15-3=12$

$\therefore$ Distance = $12\times5=60$ km

=> Ans – (D)

Given : $xy=\frac{a+2}{3}$ and $\frac{x}{y}=\frac{1}{3}$

Multiplying both equations, we get : $x^2=\frac{a+2}{9}$ ————-(i)

Dividing both equations, => $y^2=a+2$ ————-(ii)

=> $x^2+y^2=(\frac{a+2}{9})+(a+2)=\frac{9a+18+a+2}{9}$

=> $x^2+y^2=\frac{10a+20}{9}$ ———–(iii)

Similarly, subtracting equation (ii) from (i), => $x^2-y^2=\frac{-8a-16}{9}$ ————-(iv)

Dividing equation (iii) by (iv), we get :

=> $\frac{x^2+y^2}{x^2-y^2}=(\frac{10a+20}{9})\div(\frac{-8a-16}{9})$

= $\frac{10a+20}{-8a-16}=\frac{10(a+2)}{-8(a+2)}$

= $\frac{-5}{4}$

=> Ans – (D)

Given : $a + b + c = 4$ ———–(i)

and $a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = ab + bc + ca + 4$

=> $a^2 + b^2 + c^2 – ab – bc – ca = 4$ ————(ii)

To find : $a^3 + b^3 + c^3 – 3abc$

= $(a+b+c)(a^2+b^2+c^2-ab-bc-ca)$

Substituting values from equations (i) and (ii), we get :

= $4\times4=16$

=> Ans – (C)

Given : $x^3+y^3=8$ ———–(i)

and $x+y=2$ ————(ii)

Cubing both sides, we get :

=> $(x+y)^3=(2)^3$

=> $x^3+y^3+3xy(x+y)=8$

Substituting values from equations (i) and (ii),

=> $8+3xy(2)=8$

=> $6xy=8-8=0$

=> $xy=0$ ———–(iii)

Now, squaring equation (ii), => $(x+y)^2=(2)^2$

=> $x^2+y^2+2xy=4$

=> $x^2+y^2=4$ $[\because xy=0]$

Similarly, again squaring both sides, we get :

=> $x^4+y^4+2x^2y^2=16$

=> $x^4+y^4+2(xy)^2=16$

=> $x^4+y^4=16$

=> Ans – (C)

Equations : 7x+8ky-16=0 and 14x+112y-21=0

For two equations to be inconsistent (no solution), the ratio of coefficients of both equations must be of the form = $\frac{a_1}{b_1}=\frac{a_2}{b_2}\neq\frac{c1}{c_2}$

=> $\frac{7}{14}=\frac{8k}{112}\neq\frac{-16}{-21}$

=> $\frac{k}{14}=\frac{1}{2}$

=> $k=\frac{14}{2}=7$

=> Ans – (D)
