Answers & Solutions:

1) Answer (D)

Given : $\sec \theta +\tan \theta=2$ ———–(i)

Also, $sec^2\theta-tan^2\theta=1$

=> $(sec\theta-tan\theta)(sec\theta+tan\theta)=1$

=> $\sec \theta -\tan \theta=\frac{1}{2}$ ———-(ii)

Adding equations (i) and (ii), => $2sec\theta=2+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{2}$

=> $sec\theta=\frac{5}{4}$

=> $cos\theta=\frac{4}{5}$

$\therefore$ $sin\theta=\sqrt{1-cos^2\theta}$

= $\sqrt{1-(\frac{4}{5})^2}=\sqrt{1-\frac{16}{25}}$

= $\sqrt{\frac{9}{25}}=\frac{3}{5}$

=> Ans – (D)

2) Answer (B)

Given : $\tan \theta = \sqrt{3}$

=> $\tan \theta = tan(\frac{\pi}{3})$

=> $\theta=\frac{\pi}{3}$

Also, $\alpha + \theta$ =  $\frac{7\pi}{12}$

=> $\alpha=\frac{7\pi}{12}-\frac{\pi}{3}$

=> $\alpha=\frac{7\pi-4\pi}{12}=\frac{\pi}{4}$

$\therefore$ $tan\alpha=tan(\frac{\pi}{4})=1$

=> Ans – (B)

3) Answer (D)

Let the distance between his home and his office be 96 km. (LCM of 48 and 32)
Total distance = 96+96 = 192 km
Time required to travel 96 km at 48 km/hr = 2 hours
Time required to travel 96 km at 32 km/hr = 3 hours
Total time = 2+3 = 5 hours
Average speed $= \dfrac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Total Time}} = \dfrac{192}{5} = 38.4 km/hr$

4) Answer (B)

Let the distance between A and B be 120 km each (LCM of 60 and 40).
Time taken by the train to travel 120 km at 60 km/hr = 2 hours
Time taken by the train to travel 120 km at 40 km/hr = 3 hours
Total distance = 120+120 = 240 km
Total time = 2+3 = 5 hours
Average speed $= \dfrac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Total Time}} = \dfrac{240}{5} = 48 km/hr$

5) Answer (D)

Quantity sold at 4% profit : Quantity sold at 12% profit = 4 : 4 = 1 : 1
Hence, the quantity of sugar he sold at 12% profit = $\dfrac{1}{2} \times 800 = 400 kg$

6) Answer (B)

Quantity at 6% profit : Quantity at 4% loss = 4 : 6 = 2 : 3

Hence, The quantity of rice sold at loss = $\dfrac{3}{5} \times 600 = 360 kg$

7) Answer (D)

Substituting ‘a’ and ‘b’ in the equation we get $a^{2}-5a+5=0$
$b^{2}-5b+5=0$ so let us assume a equation $z^{2}-5z+5=0$
For this equation both a and b are the roots since they satisfy the equation.
Therefore sum of the roots =5.

8) Answer (A)

The only prime numbers that are consecutive are 2,3.
Substituting the values of $x=2 and x=3 $
We get $3^{2}-3b+a=0$ and
$2^{2}-2b+a=0$
Solving for a and b we get a=6 and b=5.
So $6^{2}-5^{2}=11$

9) Answer (C)

Given a+2d=8 and a+6d=20
We have d=3,a=2
sum of n terms of an AP=$\frac{n}{2}(2a+(n-1)d)$
For n=10,S=155
For n=20,S=610
Therefore required ratio =31:122

10) Answer (C)

Let us assume that first term and common difference of A.P. are ‘a’ and ‘d’ respectively.
$T_{7} + T_{31} = (a+6d) + (a+30d) = 76$
$2a + 36d = 76$ … (1)
Sum of first n terms of an A.P. = $\frac{n\times [2a+(n-1)d]}{2}$
Therefore sum of first 37 terms of the A.P. = $\frac{37\times [2a+(37-1)d]}{2}$
$\Rightarrow$ $\frac{37\times [2a+36d]}{2}$
$\Rightarrow$ $\frac{37\times 76}{2}$
$\Rightarrow$ $1406$ (Answer :C)

11) Answer (B)

MP=1000
Three successive discounts of 20% each and so SP=1000*(80/100)(80/100)(80/100)
SP=512
Profit=512-500
=12

12) Answer (D)

MP=480
1.2*CP=480
CP=400
SP=MP-d
SP=480-d
$\frac{480-d-400}{400}\times100$=20
80-d=80
d=0

13) Answer (D)

Sum of digits should be divisible by 9 is the required criteria and so
349827=3+4+9+8+2+7=33
739473=7+3+9+4+7+3=33
650874=6+5+0+8+7+4=30
835749=8+3+5+7+4+9=36
Hence d is the correct answer

14) Answer (B)

Divisibility test of 11 says that if the difference of sum of odd and even terms is divisible by 11 or 0 then it is divisible by 11
Sum of odd terms=8+6+3+1+0=18
Sum of even terms=3+8+h+2=13+h
difference=18-13-h
=5-h
Therefore for h=5 we have difference =0

15) Answer (B)

$\frac{17}{13}$=1.30
$\frac{18}{15}$=1.2
$\frac{15}{9}$=1.66
$\frac{12}{7}$=1.71

16) Answer (D)

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.

17) Answer (D)

solving the equation for x,
We get $\frac{21}{2}$=$2x+\frac{x}{6}$

$\frac{21}{2}$=$\frac{13x}{6}$

$x$=$\frac{63}{13}$

$13x$=63
Factorising 63 we get 63=$3^{2}\times 7$
Number of factors=(2+1)(1+1)
=6

18) Answer (B)

Let the total population of all the cities together be x
Population of City A = 20% of x = 0.2x
Population of City E = 15% of x = 0.15x
Required percentage = $\dfrac{0.20x-0.15x}{0.15x} \times 100 = \dfrac{0.5x}{0.15x} \times 100 = 33.33$%

19) Answer (B)

Let the total population of all the cities together be x
Population of City C = 10% of x
Population of City E = 15% of x
Given, 15% of x – 10% of x = 5 lakh
⇒ 5% of x =5 lakh
⇒ x = 100 lakh or 1 crore
Population of City A = 20% of 1 crore = 20 lakh

20) Answer (C)

Let the total population of all the cities together be x
Population of City B = 18% of x
Given, 18% of x = 54 lakh
⇒ $x = 5400000 \times \dfrac{100}{18} = 300$ lakh or 3 crore
Hence, Population of E = 15% of 300 lakh = 45 lakh
