Answers :

1) Answer: A

108 ⇒ 2², 3³

Two factors are prime.


2) Answer: D

√7 + √3 & √5 + √5  and √2 + √8

Squaring all terms

10 + 2√21, 10+2√25, 10 + 2√16

Hence

√5 + √5 > √7 + √3 > √2 + √8


3) Answer: D

I — 337 is a prime

II — 12 = 2².3

(3 × 2) = 6 factors

III — 3 + 2 + 7 + 2 + 4 = 18

∵ sum of digits is divisible by 9

Hence no. is divisible 9.


4) Answer: D

∛8 √(2&4)√(6&64)

8 = 2³, 4 = 2², 64 = 2⁶

Hence all are equal.


5) Answer: B

(1004)² – (998)²

= (1004 –998) (1004 + 998)

= 12012


6) Answer: D

In 5 days A & B will work ⅓ of the given work

& to finish ⅔rd of the given work B takes = 15 days

Hence, B will finish in = 45/2 days

1/A = 1/15 – 2/45

= (3–2) / 45

= 1/45

A = 45 days


7) Answer: A

Suppose if Q work 5 units per day

Then P will do = 6 units per day (20% efficient)

Total work = 10 × 5 ⇒ 50 units

P will finish in 50/6 days


8) Answer: C

MP/CP = 6/5

Let MP = 600 and & C.P. = 500

For 15% discount ⇒ 600× 15/100 = 90 Rs.

S.P. = 600 – 90 = 510

Profit % = (510 –500) / 500 × 100%

= 2%


9) Answer: D

a : b : c = 2 : 3 : 4
