There is a lawn with green area equal to 5000 m2. The green area of the lawn decreases as the square of the number of cows
grazing in the lawn. Two cows together ate 8 m2 area of the lawn on the first day and everyday two new cows join them. The
growth of grass of the lawn on a par cular day is directly propor onal to the cube of the number of days. If 4 m2 area of grass grew
on the first day, on which of the following days would the green area of lawn be 5000 m2 again the first me a er the 1st day?

lamp posts behind both of them, the lamp post behind Anil being 6 m high and that behind Vinit being 5 m high. Anil and Vinit and
both the poles lie on a straight line. At a certain moment when they reach 0.9 m apart from each other, they find that the shadows
of their heads fall exactly at each others feet. (i.e., Anil’s head’s shadow falls on Vinit’s feet and Vinit’s head’s shadow falls on Anil’s
feet) How far apart are the two lamp posts?

Explanation:
If answers to all the 12 ques ons are either True or False, then no ma er which 6 ques ons we choose to answer True or False, the score is
guaranteed to be more than 5.
If the answers to 11 out of 12 ques ons are true and the answer to the remaining ques on is False, we can s ll get definitely get a score of 5 no
ma er which 6 ques ons we choose to answer True of False. Same holds true if the answers to 11 out of 12 ques ons are False.
However, if the answers to 10 or less than 10 ques ons out of 12 are true (or false).
We cannot guarantee a score of at least 5.
The number of answer keys when all 12 answers are true or false = 2.

What is the number of integer values that x can take for both the equa ons x2 – 6x – 72 < 0 and x2 – 20x + 100 > 0?
15
16
10
Change Section here
Explanation:
Consider x2 – 20x + 100 > 0
∴ (x – 10)2 > 0
This is true for all real values of x except 10.
And, x2 – 6x − 72 < 0
∴ (x – 12)(x + 6) < 0
∴ −6 < x < 12
∴ x = −5, −4, −3, −2, −1, 0, 1, 2, …, 11 except 10
∴ Number of integer values of x are 16.
Hence, [3].

plane.

Explanation:
We need to find the number of points with integer coordinates inside the circle of radius 5 units and centre at (1, 2). The number of points will be
the same for a circle at centre (0, 0) and radius of length 5 units.
Then the equa on of this circle is x2 + y2 = 25.
Consider the first quadrant. The total number of integral points lying inside the circle but not on the axes in the first quadrant are the number of
integer solu ons of x2 + y2 < 25.
x ≠ 0, y ≠ 0.
Thus, (x, y) = (1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (4, 1), (4, 2).
Number of such points = 13
Number of such points in all the four quadrants = 52
Points on the axes are (0, 0), (0, 1), (0, 2), (0, 3), (0, 4), (0, –1), (0, –2), (0, –3), (0, –4), (1, 0), (2, 0), (3, 0), (4, 0), (–1, 0), (–2, 0), (–3, 0), (–4, 0)
Number of such points = 17
Total number of required points = 52 + 17 = 69
Hence, [2].

the median rank of the class, then how many arrangements are possible?

Explanation:
The median rank in the class will be 3 since there are 5 students.
C has a be er rank than the median rank. Therefore, C's rank is either 1 or 2.
B got higher marks than C. Therefore, B's rank will be 1.
D got a higher score than E.
D's rank will be either 3 or 4.
Hence, E's rank will be either 4 or 5 and A's rank will be either 3 or 4 or 5.
The 3 possible arrangements from le to right are AEDCB; EADCB or EDACB.

If in the following equa on x and y are integers, then how many sets of solu ons do the equa on have?
Enter your response (as an integer) using the virtual keyboard in the box provided
16
Change Section here
Explanation:
The equa on can be reduced to (y + 13)(y – 13) = (x + 17)(x – 17)
x2 – y2 = 120
i.e., (x + y)(x – y) = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5
Taking (x – y) = 2;
(x + y) = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 = 60
This gives x = 31 and y = 29.
Taking (x – y) = 4; (x + y) = 30
This gives x = 17 and y = 13.
If x – y = 6, x + y = 20. This gives x = 13, y = 7 and if x – y = 10, x + y = 12. This gives x = 11, y = 1.
We cannot have x – y = 5 or 8.
But for the given equa on to hold true we cannot have y ≤ 13 and x ≤ 17.
This implies x = 31 and y = 29 is the only solu on.
Therefore, the required answer is 1.

X, Y and Z are dis nct natural numbers. If (Z + 2X) is divisible by 8, find maximum possible value of Z for which X + 3Y = 24 and X + Y
+ Z < 24.
Enter your response (as an integer) using the virtual keyboard in the box provided below.
Change Section here
Explanation:
X + 3Y = 24 and X + Y + Z < 24 ⇒ X + Y + Z < X + 3Y ⇒ Z < 2Y
The maximum possible value of Y sa sfying x + 3y = 24 is 7. Therefore, (X, Y) = (3, 7)
Z < 14
Now, Z + 2X = Z + 6
As (Z + 2X) is divisible by 8 and Z < 14, the maximum value of Z = 10
Therefore, the required answer is 10.
