Solution:
1).
x – y = (x + y) / 7 = xy / 4 = k
x – y = k; x + y = 7k; xy = 4k
(x + y)2 – (x – y)2 =
49k2 – k2
k = 1 / 3
xy = 4k = 4 × (1 / 3) = 4 / 3
Answer: a)
2).
Let the parallel sides be 5x m and 3x m.
Area of trapezium = 1 / 2 (Sum of parallel
sides) × Distance between them
1440 = 1 / 2(5x + 3x) × 24
12 × 8x = 1440
x = 1440 / (12 × 8) = 15
The longer parallel side = 5x = 5 × 15 = 75 m
Answer: a)
3).
Side of the square = 120 / 4 = 30 cm
Clearly, diameter of the greatest circle =
side of the square = 30 cm
Radius = 30 / 2 = 15 cm
Required area = π × (Radius)2
= (22 / 7) × (15)2 cm2
Answer: a)
4).
(x + y – z)2 + (y + z – x)2 + (z + x – y)2 = 0
(x + y – z) = 0
[∵ (a – b)2 + (b – c)2 +
(c – a)2 = 0 provides a – b = 0]
Answer: d)
5).
Let the required distance be x km.
Difference of time = 6 + 6 = 12 min
= 12 / 60 = 1 / 5 h
According to the question,
[x / (5 / 2)] – [x / (7 / 2) = 1 / 5
(2x / 5) – (2x / 7) = 1 / 5
(14x – 10x) / 35 = 1 / 5
4x / 35 = 1 / 5
x = 35 / (4 × 5) = 7 / 4 = 1(3 / 4)km
Answer: d)
6).
Total marks obtained by 5 students = 50 × 5 = 250
Now, In this total marks, 84 is included
Instead of 48,
Correct total marks = 250 – 84 + 48 = 214
Correct average = 214 / 5 = 42.8
Answer: c)
7).
In ∆ ADE and ∆ABC
AD / AB = 8 / 20 = 2 / 5
AE / EC = 6 / 15 =2 / 5
So, AD / AB = AE / AC
And ∠A = ∠A (common)
∆ ADE ~ ∆ ABC
DE / BC = AD / AB ⇒ DE / BC = 2 / 5
BC = 5 / 2 DE
Answer: b)
8).
Let
AB be a vertical stick and AC be its shadow
Also, let PQ be a tower having shadow PR.
As, ∆ABC ~ ∆ PQR
AB / PQ = AC / PR
15 / x = 12 / 50
x = (15 × 50) / 12 = 62.5m
Hence, height of the tower is 62.5 m.
Answer: c)
9).
Let the CP of article be Rs.x
According to the question,
[100 + (25 / 2)] % of x - [100 - (25 / 2)] %
of x = 13
⇒ (x / 100) [100 + (25 / 2)] - [100 - (25 /
2)] = 13
(x / 100) × 25 = 13
x = 13 × 4 = Rs. 52
Answer: c)
10).
Distance covered by A in 4 h = 4 × 4 = 16km
Relative speed of B with respect to A = 10 – 4
= 6 km/h
Time taken to catch A = 16 / 6 = 8 / 3h
Required distance = (8 / 3) × 10 = 80 / 3 =
26.7 km
Answer: d)
