Answers :
Direction (1-5) :
1) Answer: e)
I) x2 – 6x – 72 = 0
(x – 12) (x + 6) = 0
X = 12, – 6
II) y2 + 16x – 57 = 0
(y + 19) (y – 3) = 0
Y = – 19, 3
Can’t be determined
2) Answer: e)
I) 2x2 – 7x – 39 = 0
2x2 + 6x – 13x – 39 = 0
2x (x + 3) – 13(x + 3) = 0
(2x – 13) (x + 3) = 0
X = 13/2, -3 = 6.5, -3
II) 3y2 – 5y – 28 = 0
3y2 – 12y + 7y – 28 = 0
3y (y – 4) + 7(y – 4) = 0
(3y + 7) (y – 4) = 0
Y = -7/3, 4 = -2.33, 4
Can’t be determined
3) Answer: a)
5x – 2y = 19 —> (1)
3x – 5y = 0 —> (2)
By solving the equation (1) and (2), we get,
X = 5, y = 3
X > y
4) Answer: b)
I) x3 = (1612 ÷ 13) + 36 % of 1200 – 232
X3 = (1612/13) + (36/100)*1200 – 529
X3 = 124 + 432 – 529
X3 = 27
X = 3
II) y2 = 9
Y = 3, -3
X ≥ y
5) Answer: a)
I. 6x2 – 49x + 99 = 0
6x2 – 27x – 22x + 99 = 0
3x (2x – 9) – 11(2x – 9) = 0
(3x – 11) (2x – 9) = 0
X= 11/3, 9/2
II. 5y2 + 17y + 14 = 0
5y2 + 10y + 7y + 14 = 0
5y (y + 2) +7 (y + 2) = 0
(5y + 7) (y + 2) = 0
Y= -7/5, -2
X > y
Direction (6-10) :
6) Answer: c)
Cost price of item A = Rs. 6000
MP*[(100 – Discount %)/100] = CP*[(100 + Gain %)/100]
MP*(80/100) = 6000*(110/100)
MP = 6000*(110/100)*(100/80)
MP = Rs. 8250
7) Answer: a)
Cost price of Item C = Rs. 4200
Mark-up % = 25 %
Marked price = CP*[(100 + Mark-up %)/100]
= > 4200*(125/100) = Rs. 5250
Selling price = 5250*(80/100)*(90/100) = Rs. 3780
8) Answer: d)
The average cost price of all the given items together
= > (6000 + 7500 + 4200 + 5600 + 4800)/5
= > 28100/5 = Rs. 5620
9) Answer: b)
Cost price of item D = Rs. 5600
Marked price of Item D = Rs. 8750
MP*[(100 – Discount %)/100] = CP*[(100 + Gain %)/100]
8750*[(100 – D%)/100] = 5600*(125/100)
100 – D% = 5600*(125/100)*(100/8750)
100 – D% = 80
D% = 100 – 80 = 20 %
10) Answer: c)
The selling price of Item B = 7500 + 300 = Rs. 7800
The selling price of Item E = 4800 + 200 = Rs. 5000
Required difference = 7800 – 5000 = Rs. 2800
