Answers :

Directions (1-5) :

1) Answer: C

I) x2 + 12x + 20 = 0

(x + 2) (x + 10) = 0

x= -2, -10

II) y2 + 13y + 22 = 0

(y + 2) (y + 11) = 0

y = -2, -11

Relationship between x and y cannot be established.

2) Answer: E

I) 5x2 + 15x + 10 = 0

5x2 + 10x + 5x + 10 = 0

5x(x + 2) + 5(x + 2) = 0

(5x + 5)(x + 2) = 0

x = -1, -2

II) y2 – y – 2 = 0

(y + 1) (y – 2) = 0

y = -1, 2

Hence x ≤ y

3) Answer: A

I) x2 – 27x + 182 = 0

(x – 14) (x – 13) = 0

x = 14, 13

II) y2 – 23y + 132 = 0

(y – 11) (y – 12) = 0

y = 11, 12

Hence x > y

4) Answer: C

I) 2x2 – 18x + 36 = 0

2x2 – 12x – 6x + 36 = 0

2x(x – 6) – 6(x – 6) = 0

(2x – 6)(x – 6) = 0

x = 3, 6

II) y2 – 12y + 32 = 0

(y – 4) (y – 8) = 0

y = 4, 8

Hence Relationship between x and y cannot be established.

5) Answer: D

I) x2 + 23x + 120 = 0

(x + 15) (x + 8) = 0

x = -15, -8

II) y2 + 13y + 42 = 0

(y + 6) (y + 7) = 0

y = -6, -7

Hence x < y

Directions (6-10) :

6) Answer: A

Diff = Sum*(r/100)2

160 = Sum*(8/100)2

160*100*100/64 = Sum

Sum = Rs. 25000

7) Answer: B

6 years ago, the ratio of ages of A and B = 2: 3 (2x, 3x)

Present ages of A and B = 2x + 6, 3x + 6

After 6 years, the ratio of ages of A and B = 3: 4

According to the question,

(2x + 12)/(3x + 12) = (3/4)

8x + 48 = 9x + 36

x = 12

Sum of the present ages of A and B = 2x + 3x + 12 = 72 years

8) Answer: C

B = 5 * 4/1 = 20 hours

4/x + 10/20 = 1

4/x = ½

1/x = 1/8

A + B = 1/20 + 1/8

= 7/40

Time = 40/7 hours = 5(5/7) hours

9) Answer: B

Given,

6c2/(x+18)c2=5/92

X2+35x-246=0

Simplify the above equation we get x=6

Required difference = 10-8=2 balls

10) Answer: E

A + B + C + D + E = 190 years

A/C = 3/4

B + 5/D + 5 = 2/3

2D + 10 = 3B + 15

2D – 3B = 5

We cannot find the answer.
