Answers & Solutions:
1) Answer (D)
Given : $\angle$QPR = $45^\circ$ and $\angle$PRQ = $55^\circ$
To find : $\angle$QST = ?
Solution : In triangle, PQR
=> $\angle P+\angle Q+\angle R=180^\circ$
=> $45^\circ+55^\circ+\angle Q=180^\circ$
=> $\angle Q=180^\circ-100^\circ=80^\circ$
Now, since ST divides PQ and PR equally, thus ST is parallel to QR.
$\therefore$ Angles on the same side of transversal are supplementary, => $\angle PQR+\angle QST=180^\circ$
=> $\angle QST=180^\circ-80^\circ=100^\circ$
=> Ans – (D)
2) Answer (A)
Given : $(x-\frac{1}{x})=3$ ———-(i)
Cubing both sides, we get :
=> $(x-\frac{1}{x})^3=(3)^3$
=> $x^3-\frac{1}{x^3}-3(x)(\frac{1}{x})(x-\frac{1}{x})=27$
=> $x^3-\frac{1}{x^3}-3(1)(3)=27$
=> $(x^{3}-\frac{1}{x^{3}})=27+9=36$
=> Ans – (A)
3) Answer (C)
Let ideal time taken to reach on time = $t$ hours
Speed is inversely proportional to time
=> $\frac{80}{60}=\frac{t+\frac{1}{4}}{t-\frac{1}{4}}$
=> $80t-20=60t+15$
=> $80t-60t=20t=15+20$
=> $t=\frac{35}{20}=\frac{7}{4}$ hours
Thus, distance covered by going at 60 km/hr and reaching in $(\frac{7}{4}+\frac{1}{4}=2)$ hours = $60\times2=120$ km
$\therefore$ Ideal speed to reach on time = $\frac{120\times4}{7}=68\frac{4}{7}$ km/hr
=> Ans – (C)
4) Answer (D)
$\frac{5}{6}=0.83$ and $\frac{8}{15}=0.53$
(A) : $\frac{2}{3}=0.6$
(B) : $\frac{3}{4}=0.75$
(C) : $\frac{4}{5}=0.8$
(D) : $\frac{6}{7}=0.85$
Thus, $\frac{6}{7}$ does not lie between $\frac{5}{6}$ and $\frac{8}{15}$
=> Ans – (D)
5) Answer (A)
Taking x as the age of the youngest one,
x + (x + 5) + (x + 10) + (x + 15) = 78 years
4x + 30 = 78
x = 12 years. Hence, the age of the eldest one is (12 + 15 ) = 27 years
6) Answer (D)
Let the ages of A, B and C respectively be $5x,8x$ and $9x$ years.
According to ques, => $5x+9x=56$
=> $x=\frac{56}{14}=4$
$\therefore$ B’s age = $8\times4=32$ years
=> Ans – (D)
7) 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)
8) Answer (B)
Given, $l^{3} + m^{3}$ = -218 and $lm = -35$
$(l+m)^{3} = l^{3}+ m^{3} + 3lm(l+m)$
$(l+m)^{3} = -218 + 3(-35)(l+m)$
$(l+m)^{3} = -218 -105(l+m)$
we need to solve 3rd degree equation
so,without solving, by verification, we get $l+m = -2$,
so the answer is option B.
9) Answer (D)
Given,
$\large\frac{p}{q}+\frac{q}{p}$ $=-1$
$\large\frac{p^{2}+q^{2}}{pq}$ $ = -1$
$p^{2}+q^{2} = -pq$
$p^{2}+q^{2} + pq = 0$
We know $p^{3}-q^{3}={(p-q)}{(p^{2}+q^{2}}{+pq)} $
As $p^{2}-q^{2} + pq = 0$, therefore $p^{3}-q^{3}={(p-q)}{(p^{2}+q^{2}}{+pq)}=0$
10) Answer (C)
Let that fraction be $\frac{1}{f}$
Expression : $1^{2}+3^{2}+5^{2}+……..+29^{2}$
= $[1^{2}+2^{2}+3^{2}+4^{2}……..+28^{2}+29^{2}]$ $-[2^2+4^2+………+28^2]$
= $[1^{2}+2^{2}+3^{2}+4^{2}……..+28^{2}+29^{2}]$ $-(2^2)[1^2+2^2+3^2………+14^2]$
= $[\frac{29(29+1)(58+1)}{6}]-[4\times\frac{14(14+1)(28+1)}{6}]$
= $[\frac{29(30)(59)}{6}]-[4\times\frac{14(15)(29)}{6}]$
= $[29\times5\times59]-[4\times5\times7\times29]$
= $8555-4060=4495$
=> Ans – (C)
11) Answer (B)
We have to factorise the number into prime factors i.e
14560=$2^{5}*5*13*7$
There are 4 different prime factors namely 2,5,7 and 13.
12) Answer (A)
Total number of students = 40
Among the student who have passed, Raman’s rank from top = 13th
Raman’s rank from bottom = 17th
=> Total students who passed = $(13+17)-1=30-1=29$
$\therefore$ Number of students who have failed = $40-29=11$
=> Ans – (A)
13) Answer (A)
Given : $x=\frac{(3-2\sqrt2)}{(3+2\sqrt2)}$
To find : $\sqrt{x}$
Solution : rationalizing the denominator, we get
=> $\frac{(3-2\sqrt2)}{(3+2\sqrt2)}\times\frac{(3-2\sqrt2)}{(3-2\sqrt2)}$
= $\frac{(3-2\sqrt2)^2}{(3)^2-(2\sqrt2)^2}$
= $\frac{(3-2\sqrt2)^2}{9-8}$
=> $x=(3-2\sqrt2)^2$
Taking square root on both sides,
=> $\sqrt{x}=3-2\sqrt2$
=> Ans – (A)
14) Answer (B)
Number of diagonals of a regular polygon =n(n-3)/2
n(n-3)=40
$n^{2}-3n-40$=0
$n^{2}+5n-8n-40$=0
n(n+5)-8(n+5)=0
(n-8)(n+5)=0
n=8
Each interior angle of a regular polygon=(2n-4)90/n
Each exterior angle of a regular polygon=360/n
Ratio of exterior angle to interior angle=2/n-2
For n=8 we have 2/6=1:3
15) Answer (C)
We know that,
Area of sector of a circle = $\frac{x}{360}*\pi *r^{2}$
Where $x$ is the angle subtended at the centre and $r$ is the radius of the circle
Area =$\frac{72}{360}\times\pi \times35^{2}$ = 770 sq.cm
