11) Answer (B)

Equation of line = $y=3x$

(A) : (0,1)

=> L.H.S. = $1\neq$ R.H.S. = $3(0)=0$

(B) : (0,0)

=> L.H.S. = $0=$ R.H.S. = $3(0)=0$

=> Ans – (B)

12) Answer (C)

Now, OA = 8 units and OB = 15 units

=> $(AB)^2=(OA)^2+(OB)^2$

=> $(AB)^2=(8)^2+(15)^2$

=> $(AB)^2=64+225=289$

=> $AB=\sqrt{289}=17$ units

=> Ans – (C)

13) Answer (B)

We can see that (-5, -2) is 3 units away from y = 1
X coordinate of the point will remain unchanged while y axis will change
$\Rightarrow$ $1 = \frac{-2 + b}{2}$
$\Rightarrow$ $2 = -2 + b$
$\Rightarrow$ $b = 4$
Alternatively from graph we can see the reflection of point as well. (Answer :B)

14) Answer (B)

Centroid = $(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}+x_{3}}{3} , \frac{y_{1}+y_{2}+y_{3}}{3})$
$(1, 3)$ = $(\frac{1 + 3 + b}{3} , \frac{6 + a + 1}{3})$

$\Rightarrow$ $1 = \frac{1 + 3 + b}{3}$
$\Rightarrow$ $b + 4 = 3$
$\Rightarrow$ $b = -1$

Also, we know that $3 = \frac{6 + a + 1}{3}$
$\Rightarrow$ $a + 7 = 9$
$\Rightarrow$ $a = 2$

Therefore, a+b = 2 -1 = 1.
Hence, option B is the right answer.

15) Answer (D)

Since the given point (6, -3) lies on the line y = -3 itself, the point and its reflection will coincide.
Therefore, the reflection of point = (6, -3).
Hence, option D is the right answer.

16) Answer (D)

The graph represented by the lines : $y=0$, $x+6=0$ and $2x-3y=6$ is

Now, area of $\triangle$ ABC with base $BC=9$ units and height $AB=6$ units

= $\frac{1}{2}bh$

= $\frac{1}{2}\times9\times6=27$ sq. units

=> Ans – (D)

17) Answer (C)

The given line will cut the x-axis at a point where the y co-ordinate will be equal to zero.

$\Rightarrow$ 3x + 4*0 = 24.

$\Rightarrow$ x = 8.

So, the point of intersection on the x axis will be (8, 0).

Similarly, the line will cut y-axis at a point where the x co-ordinate will be equal to zero.

$\Rightarrow$ 3*0 + 4y = 24.

$\Rightarrow$ y = 6.

So, the point of interaction on the y axis will be (0, 6)

                         

We can see that $\triangleOAB$ is right-angled at O.

So, the area of $\triangleOAB$ = $\frac{1}{2} * OA * OB$

= $\frac{1}{2} * 6 * 8$
= 24 sq units.
Therefore, option C is the right answer.

18) Answer (D)

Let us assume the side of the original cube to be 2a units.
=> The surface area of the bigger cube = $6*(2a)^{2} = 24(a)^{2}$
When we cut the original cube to get 8 smaller cubes, each side will become half of its original length.
So, the side of smaller cube will be 2a/2 = a units in length.
Surface area of 1 smaller cube = $6*(a)^{2} = 6(a)^{2}$
Total surface area of 8 cubes combined = $8 * 6(a)^{2} = 48(a)^{2}$
So, the percentage change in the surface area = $\frac{48(a)^{2} – 24(a)^{2}}{24(a)^{2}} \times 100$ = 100 %.
Therefore, option D is the right answer.

19) Answer (C)

Centroid = ($\frac{x_1+x_2+x_3}{3}, \frac{y_1+y_2+y_3}{3}$) = ($\frac{-4-3+1}{3}, \frac{-2-5+1}{3}$) = (-2, -2)

So the answer is option C.

20) Answer (C)

Option A & B, represent Ellipse. ($\because$ general form of Ellipse is $\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$)

Option C represents Hyperbola. ($\because$ general form of Hyperbola is $\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$)

So the answer is option C.
