Duration : 1 Hour Max. Marks : 34

SAMPLE PAPER – 1
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. Use of mobile phones, smartphones, iPads, calculators, programmable wrist
watches is STRICTLY PROHIBITED. Only ordinary pens and pencils are allowed
inside the examination hall.
2. The correction is done by machine through scanning. On OMR sheet, darken
bubbles completely with a black pencil or a black blue pen. Darken the
bubbles completely only after you are sure of your answer: else, erasing lead

your login credentials for accessing your IOQM score.
4. Incomplete /incorrectly and carelessly filled information may disqualify your
candidature.
5. Each question has a one or two digit number as answer. The first diagram
below shows improper and proper way of darkening the bubble with detailed
instructions. The second diagram shows how to mark a 2-digit number and a
1-digit number.
6. The answer you write on OMR sheet is irrelevant. The darken bubble will be
considered as your final answer.
7. Questions 1 to 2 carry 2 marks each: Questions 3 to 7 carry 3 marks each:
Questions 8 to 10 carry 5 marks each.
8. All questions are compulsory.
9. There are no negative marks.

5. 12x = 5(25 –y) indicates 5 |x. Let x = 5, then 5y
= 65 gives y = 13, so (5,13) is a special solution.
By the formula for general solution, it is obtained that x
= 5 + 5t and y = 13 – 12t; where t is an integer: Since
, so . But implies . When
t = 0, the solution is x = 5, y = 13. When t = 1, then x =
10, y = 1. Thus the equation has
exactly two solutions

7. Let x5 – 5qx + 4x = (x–2)2 (x3 + ax2 + bx+ c), then

x5 – 5qx + 4r
= x5 + (a-4)x4 + (4+b–4a)x3 + 4(4a+ c – 4b)x2 + (4b–4c)
x + 4c
therefore,
a–4 = 0, 4 + b – 4a = 0, 4a + c – 4b = 0, 4b – 4c = -5q, 4c
= 4r.
From them we have orderly a = 4, b = 12, c = 32, q = 16
and r = c = 32.
Thus q = 16, r = 32

9. let x2 = t, t ≥ 0
t 5  t 4  8t 3  24t 2  32t  48  0

10. Product of four consecutive even numbers give
remainders 0,2,4,6 in some order when divided by 8.
Thus there is only one number of the form 8k + 4 among
them which is divisible by 4 but not by 8. If we consider
four consecutive even numbers having unit digit 2, 4, 6
and 8, there is exactly one among these four which is
divisible by 4 but not by 8. Now we can divide the set of
all 4-digit even numbers with non-zero digits into groups
of 4 such consecutive even numbers and in each group,
there is exactly one number which is divisible by 4 but
not by 8. The number of such groups is precisely equal
to (9 × 9 × 9 × 4)/4= 729. Thus [729/10] = 72
