Mock Test (Solution)_02

1. Answer: (B) 7. Answer: (C)

Factors of 11 in 111! is 110, 99, 88, 77, 66, 55, 44, Since, 6x + 4y = 20, reduce this to the lowest form =
33, 22 and 11 3x + 2y = 10
So, desired answer = 10 Using formula; (c1 – c2)/√(a2 + b2) = (10 – 5)/√(32 + 22)
Shortcut: = 5/√13 units = distance between the lines
[111/11] + [111/112] = [10.09] + [0.9] = 10 + 0 = 10 8. Answer: (A)
2. Answer: (D) (4/3 ÷ 20/7 of 28/5) ÷ (32/5 ÷ 9/2 of 16/3) × (3/4 × 8/3
Let the speed of the boat and of the current be ‘x’ ÷ 5/9 of 6/5) = k + 7
km/h and ‘y’ km/h respectively. 1/12 ÷ 4/15 × 3 = k + 7
According to the question, 1/12 × 15/4 × 3 = k + 7
60/(x – y) – 60/(x + y) = 2 So, k + 7 = 15/16 = 0.9375
Or, 1/(x – y) – 1/(x + y) = 1/30 So, k = -6.0625
Or, 30 × 2y = x2 – y2 9. Answer: (C)
Or, x2 = y2 + 60y .............. (i) Sum of interior angle of a polygon with side ‘n’ is (n –
After doubling his travelling speed, 2) × 180
60/(2x – y) – 60/(2x + y) = 200/420 = 10/21 Sum of the exterior angles of a polygon = 360
Or, 1/(2x – y) – 1 /(2x + y) = 1/126 For Hexagon, sum of interior angle = (6 – 2) × 180
Or, (2x + y – 2x + y)/(4x2 – y2) = 1/126 = 720
4x2 – y2 = 252y……………………………….(ii) Ratio of interior angle = 3:5:6:7:7:8
From equation (i) and (ii), we get So, sum of interior angles of hexagon;
4(y2 + 60y) – y2 = 252y 3x + 5x+ 6x+ 7x+ 7x+ 8x =720
Or, 3y2 = 12y Therefore, x = 20
Or, y = 4 km/h Interior 60 100 12 140 14 16
3. Answer: (C) Angle (in 0 0 0
The quantity of pure liquid = [x {1 – (y/x)}n] degrees)
Wine = 100(1 – 10/100)2 Exterior 120 80 60 40 40 20
So, we get the quantity of Wine in the resultant Angle (in
mixture = 81 litres degrees)
So, the quantity of water in the resultant mixture For Pentagon, sum of exterior angles = 360
= 100 – 81 = 19 litres Ratio of exterior angle = 1:2:3:4:5
So, the required ratio of Wine:Water = 81:19 So, sum of interior angles pentagon;
4. Answer: (C) y + 2y+ 3y+ 4y+ 5y = 360
Let the cost price of the trimmer be ₹x Therefore, y = 24
Roshan sold it to Ajay at a loss of 20%. Exterior 24 48 72 96 120
So, selling price of trimmer for Roshan = ₹0.80x Angle (in
Ajay spent ₹160 on repairing degrees)
Cost price of Trimmer for Ajay = ₹(0.80x + 160) Interior 156 132 108 84 60
Again Ajay sold it to Salman incurring a loss of 20%. Angle (in
Selling price for Ajay = ₹[0.80 × (0.80x + 160)] = Cost degrees)
price for Salman Largest interior angle of the pentagon = 156o
According to question; Smallest exterior angle of the hexagon = 20o
0.80 × (0.80x + 160) = 1600 Desired Difference = 136o
0.80x + 160 = 2000 10. Answer: (A)
0.80x = 1840 (1 + sinx)/(1 – sinx) = p2/q2
So, x = 2300 So, p2 – p2sinx = q2 + q2sinx
5. Answer: (D) sinx(p2 + q2) = (p2 – q2)
Let the amount borrowed by P from Q be ₹‘x’ So, sinx = (p2 – q2)/(p2 + q2) = P/H
So, the amount borrowed by P from R = ₹(2x/3) So, B = √{(p2 + q2)2 – (p2 – q2)2} = 2pq
x + (2x/3) = 7250 So, secx = H/B = 1/2 × [(p2 + q2)/pq] = 1/2 × (q/p +
5x = 21750 p/q)
x = Rs.4350 11. Answer: (C)
Money to be repaid to Q = 4350 + (4350 × 0.12 × 2) x2 + y2 = a…….(i)
= ₹5394 x2 – y2 = b……..(ii)
Money to be repaid to R = {(2 × 4350)/3} + {(2 × Solving equation (i) and (ii)
4350)/3} × 0.18 × 2 We get x2 = (a + b)/2
= 2900 + 2900 × 0.36 = ₹3944 y2 = (a – b)/2
Total amount to be repaid by P = 3944 + 5394 So, (xy)2 = (a + b)(a – b)/4
= ₹9338 So, xy = √(a2 – b2)/2

Let the height of the cylindrical vessel be x cm. So, r = 75
So, radius of the cylindrical vessel = 1.75x = 7x/4 cm Therefore, (2r/3)% = {(2 × 75)/3}% = 50%
Since, Diameter of bowl = Diameter of vessel Required interest = {12000 × 50 × 6} ÷ 100 = ₹36,000
Therefore, radius of the hemispherical bowl = radius 23. Answer: (D)

 (AB)2 = (AE) 2 + (BE')2
(AB)2 = (3) 2 + (4)2
Apollonius theorem: The sum of the squares of any (AB)2 = 9 + 16
two sides of any triangle equals twice the square on (AB)2 = 25
half the third side, together with twice the square on AB = 5 m.
the median bisecting the third side Here, AB = BF = ED = 5 m.
So, (AB2 + AC2) = 2(AD2 + BD2) Hence, AD = 3 + 5 = 8 m and CD = 11 + 4 = 15 m.
Or, x2 + 122 = 2 × (162 + 42) (AC)2 = (AD)2 + (CD) 2
Or, x2 = 400 (AC)2 = (8) 2 + (15) 2
Or, x = 20 (Since, length cannot be negative therefore (AC)2 = 64 + 225
we will take the positive root only) (AC)2 = 289
Therefore, length of side AB is 20 cm. AC = 17 m.
