Answers & Solutions:
1) Answer (D)
0.0341 * 46.7 = 1.59
So, 34.1 * 46.7 = 1.59 * 1000
34.1 * 4.67 = 1.59 * 100
Hence the answer is 159
2) Answer (A)
$x^{2}-5x-24=0$
So, $x^{2}-8x + 3x -24=0$
ie x(x- 8) + 3(x-8) = 0
=> (x+3)(x-8)=0
or x = 8 or -3
3) Answer (A)
A+B-C = 13+24-19 = 18 which is not equal to 19. Hence, statement I. is wrong.
B+C-A = 24+19-13 = 30. Hence, statement II. is true.
A+B+C = 13+24+19 = 56 which is not equal to 2*24=48. Hence, statement III. is wrong.
A+C-B = 13+19-24 = 8. Hence, statement IV. is true.
Therefore, statement II and IV are true and the correct answer is option (a)
4) Answer (D)
The value of $\sqrt{2025}$ = 45
The value of $\sqrt{1152}$ = 34
So, the value closest to $\sqrt{2028}$ – $\sqrt{1152}$ = 11
5) Answer (C)
Let one number is X, then another number is 10+X
Product of two numbers = (LCM)*(HCF)
(X)(X+10) = (2)(48)
X^2+10X = 96
X^2+10X-96 = 0
(X+16)(X-6) = 0
X = -16 or 6
Since X is positive, X = 6 = smaller number
So the answer is option C.
6) Answer (D)
$\frac{391}{667}$ = $\frac{17 \times 23}{29 \times 23}$ = $\frac{17}{29}$
7) Answer (D)
$f(x)=x^{4}-3x^{3}+2x +5$
to find the remainder put x=1 in $f(x)$
$f(1)$=1-3+2+5=5
∴5 is the remainder
8) Answer (D)
45% of 550 can be calculated as (40+5)% of 550 i.e. 220+27.5 = 247.5
And 39% of 600 can be calculated as (40-1)% of 600 i.e. 240-6 = 234
Hence, their summation will be = 481.5
9) Answer (A)
29% of 6500 can be calculated as (30-1) % of 6500 i.e. 1950-65 = 1885
Hence, 1885 will be $\frac{1885}{2500} \times 100$ % of 2500
i.e. 75.4%
10) Answer (D)
24a53b1 is divisible by 9 if (2+4+a+5+3+b+1) is divisible by 9.
(15+a+b) should be divisible by 9.
The maximum value of each of “a” and “b” should be 9.
a+b should not be more than 18.
15+a+b should not be more than 18+15 = 33.
15+a+b = 18 or 27
a+b = 18-15 or 27-15 = 3 or 12
a+b should be either 3 or 12.
11) Answer (C)
x = 4.232323….
100x = 423.23232323….
100x-x = 423.2323…-4.2323… = 419
x = 419/99
12) Answer (A)
$\frac{32}{3}+\frac{46}{9}-\frac{14}{3} = 6+ \frac{46}{9}$ = $\frac{100}{9}$
13) Answer (B)
Let’s factorize 2352 into its prime factors.
2352 = 16 * 3 * 49 = $2^4 * 3 * 7^2 $.
To be a perfect square, the number should have prime factors with even indices. Hence, for 3 to have an even index, the number should be multiplied with 3.
14) Answer (B)
21*2.9 = 60.9
The expression boils down to 60.9 + 72 = 132.9
15) Answer (C)
$561204\times58 = ? \times 55555$
implies ? = $561204\times58 \div 55555$ = 586
16) Answer (D)
9321+5406+1001= 15728
498+929+660= 2087
15728$\div$2087= 7.536
So option D is the right answer.
17) Answer (D)
The HCF of fractions is equal to HCF of numerators/LCM of denominators.
HCF of numerators = HCF of 1, 5, 8 and 3 = 1
LCM of numerators = LCM of 2, 7, 11 and 4 = 7*11*4 = 308
So, the HCF of the fractions is 1/308
18) Answer (C)
126\div 9 + 4*3-17 = 14+4*3-17 = 14+12-17 = 26-17 = 9
19) Answer (D)
59% of 6190 can be calculated as (50+9)% of 6190 i.e. equal to 3652.1
And 37% of 5000 can be calculated as (30+7)% of 5000 i.e. equal to 1850
Hence, their summation will be = 1850+3652.1 = 5502.1
20) Answer (D)
1 billion = $10^9$
log (1 billion) = 9
log 2 = 0.3
$log_2$1billion = 30
=> 1 billion = $2^{30}$
21) Answer (D)
Let the number be x. Hence, 75%*(x-10)=180. Hence, x=250.
22) Answer (D)
Mean = sum/3
= $ (2X^{2}-10 + 30-X^{2} -X^{2}+6X+10) $/3
= 2x + 10
23) Answer (C)
Sum of the numbers from 1 to 40 = 40*41/2 = 20*41 = 820
So, difference = 820 – 799 = 21
The number that Ram forgot to add was 21.
24) Answer (B)
By BODMAS, Division and Multiplication will be done before addition and subtraction.
Hence, 100 x 10 – 100 + 2000 / 100 = 1000 – 100 + 20 = 920
25) Answer (C)
Given : ‘P’ means ‘+’, ‘Q’ means ‘-’, ‘R’ means ‘÷’ and ‘S’ means ‘x’
(A) : 14 R 7 S 6 P 4 Q 3 = 11
L.H.S. = $14\div7\times6+4-3$
= $12+1=13\neq$ R.H.S.
(B) : 3 S 6 P 2 Q 3 R 6 = 35/2
L.H.S. = $3\times6+2-3\div6$
= $18+2-0.5=19.5=\frac{39}{2}\neq$ R.H.S.
(C) : 11 R 12 S 48 P 10 Q 6 = 48
L.H.S. = $11\div12\times48+10-6$
= $44+4=48=$ R.H.S.
=> Ans – (C)
26) Answer (C)
Terms : $\frac{5}{9}\approx0.56$
$\sqrt{\frac{9}{49}}$ $=\frac{3}{7}\approx0.42$
$0.43$
$(0.7)^2=0.49$
Thus, the least number is = $\sqrt\frac{9}{49}$
=> Ans – (C)
27) Answer (A)
Expression : $(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{3}-Cosec 60^\circ)$
= $\frac{\sqrt2}{3}-\frac{2}{\sqrt3}$
= $\frac{(\sqrt{6}-6)}{3\sqrt{3}}$
=> Ans – (A)
28) Answer (C)
29) Answer (A)
Expression : $(cosec 60^\circ – \frac{1}{2})$
= $\frac{2}{\sqrt3}-\frac{1}{2}$
= $\frac{(4-\sqrt{3})}{2\sqrt{3}}$
=> Ans – (A)
30) Answer (A)
I : $(\sqrt{15}+\sqrt{7})<(2\sqrt{22})$
Squaring both sides, we get :
L.H.S. = $(\sqrt{15}+\sqrt{7})^2=15+7+2\sqrt{105}=(22+2\sqrt{105})\approx(22+2\times10)=42$
R.H.S. = $(2\sqrt{22})^2=88$
Thus, L.H.S. < R.H.S., which is correct.
II : $(\sqrt{17}+\sqrt{5})<(\sqrt{20}+\sqrt{2})$
Squaring both sides, we get :
L.H.S. = $(\sqrt{17}+\sqrt{5})^2=17+5+2\sqrt{85}=(22+2\sqrt{85})$
R.H.S. = $(\sqrt{20}+\sqrt{2})^2=20+2+2\sqrt{40}=(22+2\sqrt{40})$
$\because$ $\sqrt{85}>\sqrt{40}$, then L.H.S. > R.H.S.
Thus, only I is correct.
=> Ans – (A)
