Answers :

1) Answer: A

2) Answer: D

Let, the number of shepherds = x

Then, total number of feet = 2 × 48 + 42 × 4 + 11 × 4 + 2x = 308 + 2x

Total number of heads = 48 + 42 + 11 + x

= 101 + x

Now, 308 + 2x = 101 + x + 224

⇒ x = 17

3) Answer: B

4) Answer: C

r² + p² + s² -rp – ps – rs

= (4)² + (2)² + (8)² – 4 × 2 – 2 × 8 – 4 × 8

= 16 + 4 + 64 – 8 – 16 – 32

= 84 – 56 = 28

5) Answer: C

∆ OQP is right angled {radius OQ ⊥r tangent QP}

∴ OP² = OQ² + QP²

(25)² = (7)² + QP²

⇒ PQ  = √(625 – 49) = 24 cm

6) Answer: B

Two triangles are said to be similar, If ratio of sides of both triangles is same i.e.,

7) Answer: C

We have, y × y / 100 = 289

⇒ y² = 28900

⇒ y = 170

8) Answer: D

9) Answer: D

Let, liquid P is 3 x & Q is 7x in the container After, 10 liter mixture is drawn off, remaining quantity of P & Q in the mixture

∴ Initial quantity (inlitres) of mixture = 10x = 10 × 4 = 40 Litre.

10) Answer: C

Let x apples were removed

ATQ, 35× 50 – 40 × x = (57.5) (35–x)

⇒ x = 15
