10) I) x2 + 19x – 966 = 0

II) y2– 25x + 156 = 0

Answers :

Directions (1-4) :

1) Answer: A

Series I:

400 * 0.5 = 200

200 * 1.5 = 300

300 * 2.5 = 750

750 * 3.5 = 2625

Series II:

320 * 0.5 = 160

160 * 1.5 = 240

240 * 2.5 = 600 (Not 610)

600 * 3.5 = 2100

2) Answer: B

Series I:

1180 – 120 = 1060

1060 + 100 = 1160

1160 – 80 = 1080

1080 + 60 = 1140

1140 – 40 = 1100

Series II:

2460 – 120 = 2340

2340 + 100 = 2440

2440 – 80 = 2360 (Not 2320)

2360 + 60 = 2420

2420 – 40 = 2380

3) Answer: D

Series I:

16 * 1 + 2 = 18

18 * 2 + 3 = 39

39 * 3 + 4 = 121

121 * 4 + 5 = 489

489 * 5 + 6 = 2451

Series II:

42 * 1 + 2 = 44

44 * 2 + 3 = 91

91 * 3 + 4 = 277 (Not 275)

277 * 4 + 5 = 1113

1113 * 5 + 6 = 5571

4) Answer: C

Series I:

110 + 112 = 231

231 – 102 = 131

131 + 92 = 212

212 – 82 = 148

148 + 72 = 197

Series II:

430 + 112 = 551

551 – 102 = 451

451 + 92 = 532 (Not 532)

532 – 82 = 468

468 + 72 = 517

Directions (5-9) :

5) Answer: D

1 / a + 1 / b + 1 / c = 1 / 10- –  –  –  –  –  –  – 1

1 / b + 1 / c = 3 / a –  –  –  –  –  –  –  –  – 2

1 / a + 1 / b = 4 / c –  –  –  –  –  –  –  –  –  – 3

From 1 & 2,

1 / a + 3 / a = 1 / 10

4 / a = 1 / 10

1 / a = 1 / 40 ——- 4

From 1 & 3,

4 / c + 1 / c = 1 / 10

5 / c = 1 / 10

1 / c = 1 / 50 —— 5

Substitute 4 & 5 in 1,

1/40 + 1/b + 1/50 = 1/10

1/b = 1/10 – 1/40 – 1/50

1/b = (20 – 5 – 4)/200 = 11/200

“B” has completed the work earlier.

6) Answer: D

A) Gold in final mixture,

g – (36 * 5 / 6) =70, g = 100

Copper in final mixture,

c – (36 * 1 / 6) +12 = 26, c = 20

g:c = 5:1 A is satisfied

B)

g – (42 * 5 / 6) =70, g = 105,

c – (42 * 1 / 6) +6 = 26, c = 27

g:c = 35:9 B is not satisfied

C)

g – (72 * 5 / 6) =70, g = 130,

c – (72 * 1 / 6) +12 = 26, c = 26

g:c = 5:1 C is satisfied

D)

g – (72 * 5 / 6) =70, g = 130,

c – (72 * 1 / 6) +6 = 26, c = 32

g:c = 65:16 D is not satisfied

7) Answer: A

According to the question,

(7x + 8)/(5x + 6) = 43/31

217x + 248 = 215x + 258

2x = 10

= > x = 5

A’s age 7 years ago = (7 * 5 + 8) – 7 = 36

B’s age 5 years after = (5 * 5 + 6) + 5 = 36

8) Answer: A

The share of P, Q and R,

= > [6x * 4 + 6x * (125/100) * 5 + ((6x * (5/4)) – 10000) * 3]: [8x * 9 + (8x + 8000) * 3] : [13x * 12] = 51 : 68 : 104

= > [24x + (75x/2) + (45x/2) – 30000] : [72x + 24x + 24000] : [156x] = 51 : 68 : 104

= > [(168x – 60000) / 2]: [96x + 24000]: [156x] = 51: 68: 104

According to the question,

= > (96x + 24000) / (156x) = (68/104)

= > 96x + 24000 = 102x

= > 6x = 24000

= > x = 4000

The initial investment of Q = 8x = Rs. 32000

9) Answer: B

C.I – S.I = 9600

40000 * [(1 + (4x/100))2 – 1] – (40000 * 2x * 2)/100 = 9600

40000 * [((100 + 4x)/100)2 – 1] – 1600x = 9600

40000 * [(10000 + 800x + 16x2 – 10000)/10000] – 1600x = 9600

4 * (800x + 16x2) – 1600x = 9600

3200x + 64x2 – 1600x = 9600

64x2 + 1600x – 9600 = 0

x2 + 25x – 150 = 0

(x – 5) (x + 30) = 0

x = 5, -30 (Negative value will be eliminated)

The rate of interest per annum for CI = 4x % = 20 %

10) Answer: C

x2 – 23x + 42x – 966 = 0

x(x – 23) +42(x – 23) =0

(x – 23) (x + 42)  = 0

x= -42, 23

y2 – 13y – 12y + 156 = 0

y(y – 13) -12(y – 13) =0

(y – 12) (y – 13)  = 0

y = 12, 13

Hence, the relationship between x and y cannot be determined
