Answers & Solutions:
1) Answer (C)
Given : BC is the initial position of the ladder, and DE is its final position. So, DE = BC (as both are the same ladders)
To find : CD = $x=?$
Solution : In $\triangle$ ABC,
=> $cos(60^\circ)=\frac{AC}{BC}$
=> $\frac{1}{2}=\frac{10}{BC}$
=> $BC=10\times2=20$
Thus, $DE=BC=20$
Similarly, in $\triangle$ ADE,
=> $cos(30^\circ)=\frac{AD}{DE}$
=> $\frac{\sqrt3}{2}=\frac{x+10}{20}$
=> $x+10=10\sqrt3$
=> $x=10(\sqrt3-1)$
=> $x=10\times0.732=7.32$
$\therefore$ The ladder slipped 7.32 ft
=> Ans – (C)
2) Answer (B)
Let husband’s age = $x$ years
=> Wife’s age = $(100 – x)$ years
According to ques,
=> $\frac{x – 10}{100 – x – 10} = \frac{9}{7}$
=> $\frac{x – 10}{90 – x} = \frac{9}{7}$
=> $7x – 70 = 810 – 9x$
=> $9x + 7x = 810 + 70 = 880$
=> $x = \frac{880}{16} = 55$ years
=> Ans – (B)
3) Answer (C)
$a^{3}+b^{3}=(a+b)^{3}-3ab(a+b)$
$19=(X)^{3}-3(-6)(X)$
$X^{3}+18X-19=0$
by option verification, only X = 1 satisfies the above equation.
so the answer is option C.
4) Answer (C)
Let the three consecutive odd numbers be $(x-2),(x),(x+2)$
=> Product = $(x-2)(x)(x+2)=1287$
=> $x(x^2-4)=11\times117$
=> $x=11$ and $x^2-4=117$
$\therefore$ Largest of the three numbers = $11+2=13$
=> Ans – (C)
5) Answer (A)
A quadratic equation : $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$ has real roots iff Discriminant, $D = b^2 – 4ac \geq 0$
(A) : $3x^{2}-5x+2=0$
=> D = $(-5)^2 – 4(3)(2) = 25 – 24 = 1$
(B) : $3x^{2}-4x+2=0$
=> D = $(-4)^2 – 4(3)(2) = 16 – 24 = -8$
(C) : $4x^{2}-3x+2=0$
=> D = $(-3)^2 – 4(4)(2) = 9 – 32 = -23$
(D) : $5x^{2}-2x+2=0$
=> D = $(-2)^2 – 4(5)(2) = 4 – 40 = -36$
Thus, the equation : $3x^{2}-5x+2=0$ has real roots.
6) Answer (D)
Expression : $(x + 5)^2 + (x – 3)^2$
= $(x^2 + 10x + 25) + (x^2 – 6x + 9)$
= $2x^2 + 4x + 34$
= $2(x^2 + 2x + 17)$
7) Answer (A)
=$\frac{5.6 \times 0.36 + 0.42 \times 3.2}{0.8 \times 2.1}$
= $\frac{2.016 + 1.3444}{1.68}$
=$\frac{3.36}{1.68}$
=2
8) Answer (B)
Expression : $4x+\frac{\sqrt{x}}{6}+\frac{m^2}{4}$
Let $\sqrt{x}=y$
= $4y^2+\frac{y}{6}+\frac{m^2}{4}$
= $(2y)^2+2(2y)(\frac{1}{24})+(\frac{m}{2})^2$
Using, $a^2+2ab+b^2=(a+b)^2$
=> $\frac{m}{2}=\frac{1}{24}$
=> $m=\frac{2}{24}=\frac{1}{12}$
=> Ans – (B)
9) Answer (C)
Equation of line = $8x+4y=40$
=> $\frac{8x}{40}+\frac{4y}{40}=1$
=> $\frac{x}{5}+\frac{y}{10}=1$
Thus, total length intercepted = $5+10=15$
=> Ans – (C)
10) Answer (D)
Expression : $2x+\frac{2}{x}=3$
=> $2(x+\frac{1}{x})=3$
=> $x+\frac{1}{x}=\frac{3}{2}$ ———(i)
Cubing both sides, we get :
=> $(x+\frac{1}{x})^3=(\frac{3}{2})^3$
=> $x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}+3.x.\frac{1}{x}(x+\frac{1}{x})=\frac{27}{8}$
Substituting value from equation (i)
=> $x^3+\frac{1}{x^3} + 3(\frac{3}{2})=\frac{27}{8}$
=> $x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}=\frac{27}{8}-\frac{9}{2}$
=> $x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}=\frac{27-36}{8}=\frac{-9}{8}$
Adding 2 on both sides, we get :
=> $x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}+2=2-\frac{9}{8}$
=> $x^3+\frac{1}{x^3}+2=\frac{7}{8}$
=> Ans – (D)
