Answers :

1) Answer: C

a/3 + 3/a = 1

then (a/3)3 = –1

a³ = – 27

a = –3

a⁵ = –243


2) Answer: B

Let x = 1

a = 4   & b = 2

put these values in given equation,

= 1/ ((4 –3)) + 1/(2 –3)

= 1/1  – 1/1

= 0


3) Answer: D

x³ + 6x² + 12x + 8 = 27

(x + 2)³ = 3³

(x + 2) = 3

x = 1


4) Answer: A 


5) Answer: B

x2 +4x + 16 = 0 →  (1)

eqn. (1) × 4 ⇒ 4x2 + 16x + 64 = 0 → (ii)

eqn. (1) Xx ⇒ x3 +4x2 + 16x = 0→ (iii)

eqn. (iii) – eqn .(i)

x3 + 4x2 +16x =0

4x2 +16x + 64 = 0

x3 – 64 = 0


6) Answer: A

Area of ∆BCD = ¼ Area of PQRS

= ½ Area of ∆PQR

= 48/2

= 24 cm²


7) Answer: A

Let PA = 3

Then PG = 2        (∵ G is centroid hence PG:GA= 2:1)

GA = 1

Then

= (PA + GA) : (PG – GA)

= (3 + 1) : (2 – 1)

= 4 : 1


8) Answer: B

If PG = 24 cm

Then, GD = 12 cm

PD = 36 cm


9) Answer: C

∠PAQ= 120/2= 600

∠PAO = 300

∠PAQ : ∠PAO = 2 : 1


10) Answer: C

Area of trapezium = ½ (sum of parallel sides) × height

70 = ½ (10 + 18) × height

140 = 28 × height

Height = 5 cm

CD =  √(25+16)

=√41 cm
