Answers & Explanations

1. Ans. B. According to the question

Speed of the train = 90 × = 25 (3 + 2) × 3 + 3 × 1 + 2 × t = 30
⇒ 15 + 3 + 2t = 30
m/s ⇒ 2t = 30 – 18 = 12
Length of the train = Speed × Time ⇒t=6
= 25 × 15 = 375 meters Hence, the required time = 6 hours.
Let the length of the platform = x
meters, then 5. Ans. D.
Sum of the lengths of the train and Let the salary of the man = 100x,
platform = Speed × Time then
(375 + x) = 25 × 30 = 750 According to the question
⇒ x = 375
60x – 60x × = 10000
Hence, the length of the platform =
x meters = 375 meters. ⇒ 20x = 10000
Hence, the answer = 100x – 20x =
2. Ans. C. 80x = 4 × 20x = Rs. 40,000.
= 2.5 ×
6. Ans. E.
⇒ x = 10,500. Let the side of the square = a cm,
then
3. Ans. E. According to the question
Let the present age of father = 7x Perimeter of the square + 52 =
years, then Circumference of the circle
the present age of son = 3x years 4a + 52 = 2π(a + 1)
According to the question
4a + 52 = 2 × × (a + 1)
7x + 4 = 2.5 × 3x
⇒ 0.5x = 4 ⇒ 28a + 364 = 44a + 44
⇒x=8 ⇒ 320 = 16a
Hence, the required sum = {(7x + ⇒ a = 20
2) + (3x + 2)} years = (10x + 4) Hence, the area of the circle = π(a
years = 84 years. + 1)2 = × 212 = 1386 cm2.

4. Ans. C.
Let the total work = 30 units (LCM 7. Ans. C.
of 10 and 15) Let breadth of the rectangle = a cm
and length of the rectangle =
Efficiency of A = = 3 units and
Radius of the semi-circle = r cm,
efficiency of B = = 2 units then
According to the question
Let the required time = t hours

Perimeter of the rectangle = 10. Ans. A.

Circumference of the semi-circle =
72 cm
2(a + r) = πr + 2r = 72
2(a + r) = πr + 2r
⇒ 2a = πr = × r

⇒a= … (i)
Also,
2(a + r) = 72
⇒ a + r = 36 … (ii)
From equations (i) and (ii), we get 11. Ans. C.
a = 22
Hence, the breadth of the rectangle
= a = 22 cm.

8. Ans. E.
2x2 – 23x + 38 = 0
⇒ 2x2 – 19x – (4x – 38) = 0
⇒ x(2x – 19) – 2(2x – 19) = 0
⇒ (2x – 19)(x – 2) = 0 12. Ans. B.
⇒x= and 2
y2 – 17y + 66 = 0
⇒ y2 – 6y – 11y + 66 = 0
⇒ y(y – 6) – 11(y – 6) = 0
⇒ (y – 6)(y – 11) = 0
⇒ y = 11 and 6
Hence, no relation can be
established. 13. Ans. C.
