The wrong term is, 85

Direction (6-10) :

6). Answer: a)

Explanation:

I. x2 – 12x + 36 = 0

(x – 6)(x – 6) = 0

X = 6, 6

II. 5y2 + 4y – 12 = 0

5y2 + 10y – 6y – 12 = 0

5y (y + 2) – 6 (y + 2) = 0

(5y – 6) (y + 2)  = 0

Y = 6/5, – 2 = 1.2, -2

x > y

7). Answer: c)

Explanation:

I. 2x2 + 12x + 16 = 0

2x2 + 4x + 8x + 16 = 0

2x(x + 2) + 8(x + 2) = 0

(2x + 8)(x + 2) = 0

X = -4, -2

II. 3y2 -7y – 6 = 0

3y2 -9y + 2y – 6 = 0

3y(y – 3) + 2(y – 3) = 0

(3y + 2) (y – 3) = 0

Y = – 2/3, 3 = -0.667, 3

x < y

8). Answer: a)

Explanation:

7x + 2y = -13–à (1)

5x – 4y = 7–à (2)

By solving the equation (1) and (2), we get,

X = – 1, y = -3

X > y

9). Answer: e)

Explanation:

I. x2 + 2x – 15 = 0

(x + 5) (x – 3) = 0

X = -5, 3

II. y2 + y – 56 = 0

(y + 8) (y – 7) = 0

Y = -8, 7

Can’t be determined

10). Answer: c)

Explanation:

I. √25 x + √5625 = 0

5x = – 75

X = -15

II. (243)1/5 y + (1728)1/3 = 0

(35)1/5 y = – (123)1/3

3y = -12

Y = -4

X < y

11). Answer: a)

Explanation:

Let Manju’s monthly salary be x,

According to the question,

X*(65/100)*(60/100) = 15600

X = 15600*(100/65)*(100/60)

X = Rs. 40000

12). Answer: d)

Explanation:

Total age of 35 students = 35*15 = 525

Total age of (35 students + 1 teacher) = 36*16 = 576

The age of teacher = 576 – 525 = 51 years

The age of teacher’s wife = 51 – 5 = 46 years

(Or)

If both n and average increase or decrease 1, then,

The age of teacher = (35 + 16) or (36 + 15) = 51 years

The age of teacher’s wife = 51 – 5 = 46 years

13). Answer: b)

Explanation:

The share of A, B and C

= > [40000*12] : [50000*4 + 50000*(70/100)*8] : [20000*6]

= > 480000: 480000: 120000

= > 4: 4: 1

1’s = 15000

Total profit = 9’s = Rs. 135000

14). Answer: a)

Explanation:

The difference between the simple interest and Compound interest on 3 years is,

Diff = [Sum * r2 * (r + 300)]/(100)3

440.64 = [Sum * 62 * (6 + 300)]/(100)3

440.64 = [Sum * 36 * (306)]/(100)3

Sum = [440.64*100*100*100]/(36*306)

= > Rs. 40000

15). Answer: d)

Explanation:

Let passed students be x,

According to the question,

57*24 = 26*x + 7*(57 – x)

1368 = 26x + 399 – 7x

969 = 19x

X = 969/19 = 51

Total number of passed students = 51

Direction (16-20) :

16). Answer: c)

Explanation:

The total number of students participated in Football from School P and R together

= > 1500*(32/100) + 1300*(26/100)

= > 480 + 338 = 818

The total number of students participated in Tennis from School Q and S together

= > 2200*(24/100) + 1800*(26/100)

= > 528 + 468 = 996

Required ratio = 818: 996 = 409: 498

17). Answer: a)

Explanation:

The total number of students didn’t participated in any sports from School P

= > 1500*(25/100) = 375

The total number of students didn’t participated in any sports from School T

= > 2000*(33/100) = 660

Required difference = 660 – 375 = 285

18). Answer: d)

Explanation:

The total number of students participated in Kabaddi from School Q, R and S together

= > 2200*(12/100) + 1300*(18/100) + 1800*(20/100)

= > 264 + 234 + 360 = 858

Required average = 858/3 = 286

19). Answer: b)

Explanation:

Total number of students participated in Tennis from School Q

= > 2200*(24/100) = 528

Total number of students participated in Football from School S

= > 1800*(32/100) = 576

Required % = (528/576)*100 = 92 %

20). Answer: c)

Explanation:

Total number of students didn’t participated in any sports from School S

= > 1800*(22/100) = 396

Total number of students didn’t participated in any sports from School T

= > 2000*(33/100) = 660

Required % = [(660 – 396)/660]*100 = 40 % less
