Answers :

1) Answer: D

Distance = Speed * time

Length of train A = x

Speed of train A = y

Speed of train B = z

x + 300 = (y + z) * 5/18 * 36

x + 300 = 10y + 10z

x = y * 5/18 * 12

3x = 10y


2) Answer: C

Amount = P+I

= 4000+1290 = 5290

A = P(1+R/100)t

=> 5290 = 4000(1+R/100)2

(1+R/100)2 = 5290/4000

= 1.3225

= (1+R/100) = 1.15

=> R = 15%


3) Answer: D

?≈ (460/9) ÷ (195/13) * (245/7)

? = (51 ÷ 15)x 35

?= 119


4) Answer: C

Solution: (?)2 + 512 = 2025 – 216

=> (?)2 = 1297

362 = 1296

=> ?≈36


5) Answer: A

? ≈ 31 + 32 – 22 + 33 – 29

?= 45


6) Answer: B

a2 + a – 2 = 0

Or, a2 + 2a – a – 2 = 0

Or, a(a + 2) – 1(a +2 ) =0

Or, (a – 1) (a + 2) = 0

:. a =1, -2

2b2– 15b +25 = 0

Or, 2b2 – 10b – 5b +25 = 0

Or, 2b (b – 5) – 5(b – 5) = 0

Or, (b – 5) (2b – 5) = 0

:. b = 5, 5/2

Hence a < b


7) Answer: E

8a2 – 22a – 21 = 0

Or, 8a2 – 28a +6a – 21 = 0

Or, 4a (2a – 7) + 3(2a – 7) = 0

Or, (4a + 3) (2a – 7) = 0

:. a = – 3/4 , 7/2

b2+ 14b – 51 = 0

Or, b2 + 17b – 3b – 51 = 0

Or, b (b + 17) – 3(b +17) = 0

Or, (b – 3) (b + 17) = 0

Or, b= -17, 3

Hence relation cannot be established between a and b.


8) Answer: B

a2 + 8a + 16 = 0

Or, a2 + 4a +4a + 16 = 0

Or, (a + 4)2 = 0

Or, a + 4 = 0

:. a= -4

3b2– 2 √(6b) + 2 = 0

Or, (√3b)2 – 2√(6b) + (√2)2 = 0

Or, (√3b – √2)2 = 0

Or, √3b – √2 = 0

:. b= √2/3

Hence b > a


9) Answer: C

a2 + 8a +15 = 0

Or, a2 + 5a + 3a +15 = 0

Or, a(a+5) + 3 (a + 5) = 0

Or, (a +3) (a +5) = 0

:. a = -3, -5

b2+ 12b + 35 = 0

Or, b2 + 5b + 7b +35 = 0

Or, b(b + 5) + 7( b+5) = 0

Or, (b + 7) (b + 5) = 0

b = -5 , -7

Hence a ≥ b


10) Answer: D

a2 – 9a +20 = 0

Or, a2 – 5a – 4a + 20 = 0

Or, a(a – 5) – 4(a – 5) = 0

Or, (a – 4) (a -5) = 0

:. a=4,5

b2– 12b + 35 = 0

Or, b2 – 5b – 7b +35 = 0

Or, b(b – 5) – 7(b – 5) = 0

Or, (b – 7) (b – 5) = 0

b = 5 , 7

Hence a ≤ b
