7. If 3(a 2 + b2 + c2 ) = (a + b + c)2 , then the relation between a,b and c is

Downloaded from cracku.in

A a≠b=c

B a=b=c

C a≠b≠c

D a=b≠c

Answer: B

Explanation:
solution

3(a 2 + b2 + c2 ) = (a + b + c)2
we know

(a + b + c)2 = a 2 + b2 + c2 + 2(ab + bc + ca)

3(a 2 + b2 + c2 ) = a 2 + b2 + c2 + 2(ab + bc + ca)
2(a 2 + b2 + c2 ) = 2(ab + bc + ca)
(a 2 + b2 + c2 ) = (ab + bc + ca)
as we can observe the symmetry

a=b=c

12. If x = a sinθ − b cosθ, y = acosθ + bsinθ , then which of the following is true?

A x2 + y2 = a 2 + b2

x2 a2
B y2 + b2 =1

C x2 + y2 = a 2 − b2

x2 y2
D a2 + b2 =1
Answer: A

Explanation:
solution

Downloaded from cracku.in

x = a sinθ − b cosθ {squaring x}
y = acosθ + bsinθ {squaring y}
x2 = a 2 sin2 θ + b2 cos2 θ − 2absinθ cosθ
y2 = a 2 sin2 θ + b2 cos2 θ + 2absinθ cosθ
adding both

we get

x2 + y2 = a 2 sin2 θ + b2 cos2 θ − 2absinθ cosθ + a 2 sin2 θ + b2 cos2 θ + 2absinθ cosθ

x2 + y2 = a 2 sin2 θ + b2 cos2 θ + a 2 sin2 θ + b2 cos2 θ { ∵ cos2 θ + sin2 θ = 1}
x2 + y2 = a 2 (sin2 θ + sin2 θ) + b2 (cos2 θ + cos2 θ)
x2 + y2 = a 2 + b2

A 1717

B 1771

C 1171

D 1177

Answer: A

Explanation:
13 + 11 1
x= 13 − 11 and y = x

So, clearly from the above xy = 1

13 + 11 13 − 11
x+y = 13 − 11 + 13 + 11

( 13 + 11 )2 +( 13 − 11 )2
= 13−11

13+11+2 143 +13+11−2 143

= 2
48
= 2

= 24

So, x+y = 24

3x2 − 5xy + 3y2 = 3(x + y)2 − 11xy

=3(24)2 − 11(1)

= 3 × 576 − 11

= 1728 - 11

money is

A 5% decrease

B 4% decrease

C No change

D 4%increase

the school but few boys left; as a result the ratio of the boys and girls became 7 : 6. The number of boys who left the school is

A 84

B 76

C 86

D 74

Answer: B

Explanation:
Given that, In a school there were 1554 students and the ratio of the number of the boys and girls was 4 : 3.

If we consider number of boys as x and number of girls as y

=> x:y= 4:3

From the ratio and total number of students, we can determine that x=888 & y=666

If 30 girls joined the school and number of boys left is considered as "a"

=> 888 − a : 666 + 30 = 7 : 6

7
=> 888 − a = 6 × 696

=> 888 − a = 812

=> a = 76

Therefore, Number of boys left the school are 76.

m2 +1
A n2 +1

B n2 −1

m2 +1
C n2 −1

m2 −1
D n2 +1

Answer: B

Explanation:
Given that tan A = n tan B and sin A = m sin B ---- (1)
sin A sin B
=> cos A = n cos B

m sin B sin B
Downloaded from cracku.in
 m sin B sin B
=> cos A = n cos B
cos A m
=> cos B = n ----- (2)

Squaring equation (1), we get

=> sin2 A = m2 sin2 B

=> 1 − cos2 A = m2 (1 − cos2 B)

m2 −1+cos2 A
=> cos2 B = m2 ---- (3)

Squaring equation (2) and substituting equation (3) in equation (2), we get
m2 m2 −1+cos2 A
=> cos2 A = [ n2 ][ m2 ]
=> n2 cos2 A = m2 − 1 + cos2 A
m2 −1
=> cos2 A = n2 −1

unmarried staff in the office is

A 42

B 60

C 54

D 64

centre and the distance between them is 3 cm, then the diameter of the circle is

A 2 29 cm

B 21 cm

C 2 21 cm

D 29 cm
Answer: A

Explanation:

OA = OC = radius

OE and OF are perpendicular to AB and CD .

AE = EB = 5cm

CF = CD = 2cm

Let OE = x

In △OAE ,

OA2 = AE 2 + OE 2
OA2 = 52 + x2
In △OCF ,

OC 2 = 22 + (x + 3)2
52 + x2 = 22 + (x + 3)2
25 + x2 = 4 + x2 + 6x + 9

Then the average score of classes A, B and C is.

D 81

Answer: B

Explanation:
Given that average score of class A is 83. Let's consider number of students in class A as "x"
sumofscoresofclassA
=> x = 83

=> sum of scores of class A = 83x

Given that average score of class B is 76. Let's consider number of students in class B as "y"

=> sum of scores of class B = 76y

Given that average score of class C is 85. Let's consider number of students in class C as "z"

=> z = 85

=> sum of scores of class C = 85z

Similarly from other given statements,

mixture is sold at ₹46 per kg and the remaining at the rate of ₹55 per kg, the profit percent is

A 50

B 20

C 30

D 40

Answer: D

Explanation:
Let the amount for first blend be 2 kg and second blend be 3 kg.

Total cost price = 35 × 2 + 3 × 40 = 190

Now , 1 kg will be sold at Rs 46 and remaining 4 kg at 55 , then total selling price will be

Total selling price = 46 × 1 + 4 × 55 = 266

Profit = 266 - 190 = 76

76
Profit % = 190 × 100 = 40

So, the answer would be option d)40.

the sum of the digits, the difference is equal to 6 thof the number. The number is

A 26

B 23

C 25

D 24

Answer: D

Explanation:
Let the two digit number be ab,

Where ab = 10a + b, and b = 2*a,

According to the Question,

a+b - 2 = 1/6(10a+b)

Downloaded from cracku.in

Multiply both side by 6,

6a + 6b - 12 = 10a + b

5b = 4a + 12,

Subtracting (b + 6a - 12 ) on both sides,

Substituting b = 2*a,

5(2a) = 4a + 12,

10a = 4a + 12,

Subtract 4a on both sides,

6a = 12,

Divide 6 on both sides,

a = 2,

b = 2*2 = 4,

Therefore , the number is 24

Answer: A

Explanation:
Let the speed of the train from Q be X km/hr
Then the speed of the train from P is ( X+8 ) km/hr
They meet each other at M after 6 hours travel
PM + MQ = 162 km
6 ( X + 8 ) + 6X = 162 km
12X + 48 = 162
12X = 162 - 48
12X = 114
X = 114/12

A 260cm2

B 460cm2

C 400cm2

D 360cm2
Answer: D

Explanation:
Area of base =10×10=100cm^2

Area of 4 Phase

=(12×Base×slant height)×4

(12×10×13)×4 ...............[Slant height = √(122+52)=√169=13]

=(64×4)=260

Total Surface area

260+100

360cm^2

96. If a shopkeeper wants to give 20% discount on a toy, he has to sell it for Rs.300. If he sells it at Rs.405, then his gain percentage
is

A 6%

B 4%

C 8%

D 5%

Answer: C

Explanation:
let the initial price of the toy be `100x

the shopkeeper is giving 20% discount

that means he is selling for 80x

given that 80x = 300

so,x=3.75

therefore initial price = 100*3.75

=>375

and he sells for 405

so the gain percent is 405-375/405*100

=>8%
