Answers & Solutions:

1) Answer (C)

let us write the equation in the form of $a^{2}-2ab+b^{2}$
$(6x-7)^{2}$=$36x^{2}-2*6x*7+7^{2}$
But in the question it is given as -87x+52 so we should add 3x-3 to it in order to make it a perfect square.

2) Answer (A)

let us write the equation in the form of $a^{2}-2ab+b^{2}$
$(4x-5)^{2}$=$16x^{2}-2*4x*5+5^{2}$
But in the question it is given as 38x+23 so we should add -2x+2 to it in order to make it a perfect square.

3) Answer (D)

let a=6x,b=5x,b=12y,c=14y
5x=12y,x=12/5y
$a^{2}$=$36*x^{2}$
$b^{2}$=$25*x^{2}$
bc=$5x*5x*14/12$
bc=$175/6*x^{2}$
$a^{2}:b^{2}:bc$=216:150:175

4) Answer (C)

let a=7x,b=3x,b=9y,c=11y
3x=9y,x=3y,a=7x
b=3x,c=11x/3
$a^{2}$=$49*x^{2}$
$b^{2}$=$9*x^{2}$
bc=$3x*11x/3$
bc=$11*x^{2}$
$a^{2}:b^{2}:bc$=49:9:11

5) Answer (B)

let us write the equation in the form of $a^{2}-2ab+b^{2}$
$(3x-5)^{2}$=$3x^{2}-2*3x*5+5^{2}$
But in the question it is given as 42 so we should add -17 to it in order to make it a perfect square.

6) Answer (D)

let us write the equation in the form of $a^{2}-2ab+b^{2}$
$(2x-3)^{2}$=$4x^{2}-2*2x*3+3^{2}$
But in the question it is given as 3 so we should add 6 to it in order to make it a perfect square.

7) Answer (A)

let us write the equation in the form of $a^{2}-2ab+b^{2}$
$(7x-2)^{2}$=$49x^{2}-2*7x*2+2^{2}$
But in the question it is given as 9 so we should add -5 to it in order to make it a perfect square.

8) Answer (B)

let us write the equation in the form of $a^{2}-2ab+b^{2}$
$(3x-7)^{2}$=$9x^{2}-2\times3x\times7+7^{2}$
But in the question it is given as 36 so we should add 13 to it in order to make it a perfect square.

9) Answer (A)

let a=x,b=4x,b=8y,c=7y
4x=8y,x=2y,
a=x, b=4x, c=7x/2
$a^{2}$=$x^{2}$
$b^{2}$=$16\times x^{2}$
ac=$x\times7x/2$
ac=$(7/2)\times x^{2}$
$a^{2}:b^{2}:ac$=2:32:7

10) Answer (A)

$x^{4}+(\frac{1}{x})^{4}$=34
Add 2 on both sides
$x^{4}+2+(\frac{1}{x})^{4}$=34+2
($x^{2}+\frac{1}{x^{2}})^{2}$=36
$x^{2}+(\frac{1}{x})^{2}$=6
Subtracting 2 on both sides
$x^{2}+(\frac{1}{x})^{2}-2$=4

($x-\frac{1}{x})^{2}$=4
$x-1/x$=2

11) Answer (A)

$x^{4}+(\frac{1}{x})^{4}$=727
Add 2 on both sides
$x^{4}+2+(\frac{1}{x})^{4}$=727+2
($x^{2}+\frac{1}{x^{2}})^{2}$=729
$x^{2}+(\frac{1}{x})^{2}$=27
Subtracting 2 on both sides
$x^{2}+(\frac{1}{x})^{2}-2$=27-2
x-1/x=5
Cubing on both sides we have
$x^{3}-(\frac{1}{x})^{3}-15$=125
$x^{3}-(\frac{1}{x})^{3}$=125+15=140

12) Answer (A)

$x^{4}+(\frac{1}{x})^{4}$=119
Add 2 on both sides
$x^{4}+2+(\frac{1}{x})^{4}$=119+2

$(x^{2}+\frac{1}{x^{2}})^{2}$=121

$x^{2}+(\frac{1}{x})^{2}$=11
Subtracting 2 on both sides
$x^{2}+(\frac{1}{x})^{2}-2$=11-2
x-1/x=3
Cubing on both sides we have
$x^{3}-(\frac{1}{x})^{3}-9$=27

$x^{3}-(\frac{1}{x})^{3}$=36

13) Answer (B)

As 11 is a prime number we have
(a+b)(a-b)=11*1
a+b=11
a-b=1
2a=12
a=6
b=5
(b)+(1/b)=(1/5)+(5)
=(26/5)
The other case i.e a+b=1 and a-b=11 is not taken because it will give negative values for a and b.

14) Answer (A)

As 59 is a prime number we have
(p+q)(p-q)=59*1
p+q=59
p-q=1
2p=60
p=30
q=29
(1/p)+(1/q)=((1/30)+(1/29).
=(59/870)

the other case i.e p+q=1 and p-q=31 is not considered because it gives q value as negative.

15) Answer (C)

As 31 is a prime number we have
(x+y)(x-y)=31*1
x+y=31
x-y=1
2x=32
x=16
y=15

The other case i.e x+y=1 and x-y=31 is not considered because it gives y value as negative.

16) Answer (B)

value of $\sqrt{(z+1)^{2}}$ for 1Value of $(z-3)^{2}$ for 1So required sum=z+1-z+3
=3+1
=4

17) Answer (A)

value of $\sqrt{(x-2)^{2}}$ for 2<x<3 is $+$. Hence, +(x-2)

Value of $\sqrt(x-3)^2$ for 2<x<3 is $-$. Hence, -(x-3)

So required sum=x-2-x+3
=3-2
=1

18) Answer (D)

value of $\sqrt{(x-5)^{2}}$ for 5<x<6 is always positive and so we take +(x-5)

Value of  $(x-6)^{2}$ for 5<x<6 is always $(-)^{2}$ an so we take -(x-6)

So required sum=x-5-x+6

=6-5

=1

19) Answer (C)

Given, sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon is $1260^\circ$

Sum of all interior angles of a polygon with $’n’$ sides = $(n-2)\times180^\circ$

Let the number of sides be $n$

=> Sum of interior angles = $(n-2)\times180^\circ=720^\circ$

= $(n-2)=\large\frac{1260^\circ}{180^\circ}=7$

=> $n=7+2=9$

=> Ans – (C)

20) Answer (A)

Side of cube = $a=6.5$ cm

=> Volume of cube = $a^3$

= $(6.5)^3=274.625$ $cm^3$

=> Ans – (A)
