1)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Price of Darjeeling tea on 100th day= 100+(0.1*100)=110
\nPrice of Ooty tea on nth day= 89+0.15n
\nLet us assume that the price of both varieties of tea would become equal on nth day where n<=100
\nSo
\n89+0.15n=100+0.1n
\nn=220 which does not satisfy the condition of n<=100
\nSo the price of two varieties would become equal after 100th day.
\n89+0.15n=110
\nn=140
\n140th day of 2007 is May 20 (Jan=31,Feb=28,March=31,April=30,May=20)<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(B)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let the number be xy
\n10y + x = 10x + y + 18
\n=> 9y – 9x = 18
\n=> y – x = 2
\nSo, y can take values from 9 to 4 (since 3 is already counted in 13)
\nNumber of possible values = 6<\/p>\n

3)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(A)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let the price of 1 burger be x and the price of 1 shake be y and the prize of 1 french fries be z
\n3x + 7y + z = 120
\n4x + 10y + z = 164.5
\n=> x + 3y = 44.5
\n=> x = 44.5 – 3y
\n=> 3(44.5 – 3y) + 7y + z = 120 => z = 120 – 133.5 + 2y
\nSo, x+y+z = 44.5 – 3y + y -13.5 + 2y = 31
\nSo, the cost of a meal consisting of 1 burger, 1 shake and 1 french fries = Rs 31<\/p>\n

4)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(B)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Suppose A, B and C have 5 pieces of bread, 3 pieces of bread and 8 coins respectively. Since in total there are 8 pieces of bread, each one should get around 2.66 bread. So A must give 2.33\u00a0part of his bread to C and B must give 0.33. Distributing the amount in the same ratio of bread contribution, A must get 7 coins and B must get 1 coin.<\/p>\n

5)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(B)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Expression : $|x + 7| + |x – 8| = 16$<\/p>\n

Case 1 : $x < -7$<\/p>\n

=> $-(x + 7) – (x – 8) = 16$<\/p>\n

=> $-2x + 1 = 16$<\/p>\n

=> $x = \\frac{-15}{2} = – 7.5$<\/p>\n

Case 2 : $-7 \\leq x < 8$<\/p>\n

=> $(x + 7) – (x – 8) = 16$<\/p>\n

=> $15 = 16$, which is not possible.<\/p>\n

Case 3 : $x \\geq 8$<\/p>\n

=> $(x + 7) + (x – 8) = 16$<\/p>\n

=> $2x – 1 = 16$<\/p>\n

=> $x = \\frac{17}{2} = 8.5$<\/p>\n

$\\therefore$ Sum of all possible values of $x = 8.5 – 7.5 = 1$<\/p>\n

6)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let x and y be the percentage of aluminum in the 8 kg and 16 kg piece.
\nLet us take a kg away from both.
\nThus, we will have xa and ya amount of aluminum in both the pieces.
\nIn the remaining 8-a and 16-a pieces we will have (8-a)x and (16-a)y amount of aluminum.
\nGiven that, $\\dfrac{(8-a)x+ay}{8} = \\dfrac{(16-a)y + ax}{16}$
\nThus, $2*(8x-ax+ay) = 16y-ay+ax$
\n=> $16x-2ax+2ay = 16y-ay+ax$
\nThus, $16(x-y) = 3a(x-y)$
\nThus, $a = \\dfrac{16}{3} = 5.33$
\nHence, option C is the correct answer.<\/p>\n

7)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(B)<\/strong><\/p>\n

x – y – z = 25 and\u00a0$x\\leq40,y\\leq12$,\u00a0$z\\leq12$
\nIf x = 40 then y + z = 15. Now since both y and z are natural numbers less than 12, so y can range from 3 to 12 giving us a total of 10 solutions.Similarly, if x = 39, then y +\u00a0z = 14. Now y can range from 2 to 12 giving us a total of 11 solutions.
\nIf x = 38, then y +\u00a0z = 13. Now y can range from 1 to 12 giving us a total of 12 solutions.
\nIf x = 37 then y + z = 12 which will give 11 solutions.
\nSimilarly on proceeding in the same manner the number of solutions will be 10, 9, 8, 7 and so on till 1.
\nHence, required number of solutions will be (1 + 2\u00a0+ 3 + 4 . . . . + 12) + 10 + 11
\n= 12*13\/2 + 21
\n78 + 21 = 99<\/p>\n

8)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(D)<\/strong><\/p>\n

$\\left(ax+by\\right)^2=65^2$<\/p>\n

$a^2x^2\\ +\\ b^2y^2+\\ 2abxy\\ =\\ 65^2$
\n$k = ay – bx$<\/p>\n

$k^2\\ =\\ a^2y^2+b^2x^2-2abxy$<\/p>\n

$(a^2 + b^2)(x^2 + y^2 )= 25* 169$<\/p>\n

$a^2x^2+a^2y^2+b^2x^2+b^2y^2=\\ 25\\times\\ 169$<\/p>\n

$k^2=\\ 65^2\\ -\\ \\left(25\\times\\ 169\\right)$<\/p>\n

k = 0<\/p>\n

D is the correct answer.<\/p>\n

9)\u00a0Answer:\u00a00.5<\/b><\/p>\n

$\\frac{(4)^2 \\times 2^{n + 1} – 4 \\times 2^n}{(4)^2 \\times 2^{n + 2} – 2 \\times 2^{n + 2}}$<\/p>\n

$\\frac{(2)^4 \\times 2^{n + 1} – 2^2 \\times 2^n}{(2)^4 \\times 2^{n + 2} – 2 \\times 2^{n + 2}}$<\/p>\n

$\\frac{(2)^3 \\times 2^{n}*2 -2 \\times 2^n}{(2)^3 \\times 2^{n}*2^2 – 2^{n}*2^2}$<\/p>\n

$\\ \\frac{\\ 2^3\\times\\ 2-2}{2^3\\cdot2^2-2^2}$<\/p>\n

$\\ \\frac{\\ 14}{28}$<\/p>\n
