2. If the average of four consecutive prime numbers is 46, then the difference between the
greatest number and the smallest number among these 4 primes is 12.

जर चार क्रमवार मळ ू संख्यांची सरासरी 46 असेल, तर त्या संख्यांपक

ै ी सवात मोठी संख्या व सवात
लहान संख्या यांच्यातील फरक 12 असेल.

Answer : T

Solution: The average is 46; so, the sum of the numbers is 184.
Since the average is 46, let’s consider consecutive the prime numbers:
31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 57, 59. Then, four consecutive numbers with the sum 184 are
41, 43, 47, 53. The difference between 53 and 41 is 12. So, the given statement is true.

3. A 240 metres long train traveling at the rate of 72 kilometres per hour takes

5. A parallelogram ABCD has its adjacent sides equal.

Then, the diagonals AC and BD are both equal and perpendicular to each other.

ABCD ह्या समांतरभजु चौकोनाच्या लगतच्या बाजू समान असतील, तर AC आ ण BD हे दोन्ही कण

परस्परांना लंब आ ण समान असतील.
 Answer : F

Solution: If a parallelogram ABCD has its adjacent sides equal, then it becomes a
rhombus. So, the diagonals AC and BD are indeed perpendicular to each other,
but they are not necessarily equal (equality will require it to be a rectangle/square).

6. If a2 < b2, (a – 1)2 is always less than (b – 1)2.

जर a2 < b2 असेल, तर (a – 1)2 नेहमीच (b – 1)2 पेक्षा लहान असेल.

Answer : F

Solution: For a = - 0.5 and b = 1, a2 = 0.25 < b2 = 1. Further, (a – 1)2 = (- 1.5)2 = 2.25,
but (b – 1)2 = 0. Here, (a – 1)2 is bigger than (b – 1)2.

7. (y b + c) b – c (y c + a) c – a (y a + b) a – b = 1 , for all y ≠ 0.

Answer : T

Solution: LHS can be simplified to x0 which equals 1.

8. If an arc of 45° on circle A has the same length as an arc of 30° on circle B, the ratio of
the area of circle A to the area of circle B is 1 : 3.

जर A वतळावरील
ु 45° मापाच्या कंसाची लांबी, B वतळावरील
ु 30° मापाच्या कंसाच्या लांबीएवढी असेल;
तर A वतळाच्या
ु क्षे त्रफळाचे B वतळाच्या
ु क्षे त्रफळाशी गणु ोत्तर 1 : 3 असेल.

Answer : F

Solution:

Let the two radii be r and R of circles A and B respectively.

Then, arc length of circle A = 45°/360° x 2πr and arc length of circle B = 30°/360° x 2πR

As these arc lengths are given to be equal, we get: r/R = 2/3

Thus, the ratio of the areas of circle A to circle B is just the square of the ratio of radii.
So, the required ratio is 4/9. Thus, the given statement is False.
9. If the gear A rotates in clockwise direction, then the
gear D will also rotate in the same direction.

दलेल्या आकृतीमधील A गअरचे चक्र जर घड्याळाच्या काट्यांच्या

दशेने फरत असेल, तर D गअरचे चक्रदे खील त्याच दशेत फरे ल.

Answer : F

Solution: When two gears mesh together, the second

one always turns in the opposite direction. Smallest gear here is gear A, which rotates in
clockwise direction. So, B rotates in an anticlockwise direction. Moving further, C rotates
in clockwise direction and D in anticlockwise direction. D is the largest gear here. So, the
largest gear rotates in the anticlockwise direction.

10. Let N be a 5-digit number. When N is divided by 24, 15, 12 and 6, it leaves respectively
20, 11, 8 and 2 as remainders. Then, the greatest value of N is 99956.

जर N या एका पाच अंकी संख्येला 24, 15, 12 आ ण 6 ने भागले तर उरणारी बाकी अनक्र
ु मे 20, 11, 8
आ ण 2 आहे . तर, अशी मोठ्यात मोठी संख्या N = 99956 आहे .

Answer : T

Solution: L.C.M. of 24, 15, 12, 6 is 120.

24 – 20 = 4, 15 – 11 = 4, 12 – 8 = 4, 6 – 2 = 4
Therefore, the required number = (L.C.M. of 24, 15, 12, 6) – 4 = 120 – 4 =116
But N is a 5-digit number.
The greatest 5- digit number is 99999.
Therefore, the required number is
= (The largest multiple of L.C.M. nearest to 99999) – 4.
When 99999 is divided by 120 the remainder is 39.
Then the largest multiple of 120 nearest to 99999 is 99999 – 39 = 99960.
Therefore, N = 99960 - 4 = 99956.

ू संख्या आहे त. तर b या कोनाचे माप कमीत कमी कती अंश असू शकते?

A. 2 B. 3 C. 5 D. 7

Answer : D

Solution:

In a right triangle, one angle is 90 degrees and the remaining two acute angle add up to
90 degrees. (Angle sum property of a triangle). Here, it is given that their measures are
a° and b° such that a > b where both a and b are primes. Looking at the options -
If b = 2°, then a = 88° as a + b = 90°. But 88 is not a prime. So, we discard option a.
If b = 3°, then a = 87° as a + b = 90°. But 87 is not a prime. So, we discard option b.
If b = 5°, then a = 85° as a + b = 90°. But 85 is not a prime. So, we discard option c.
If b = 7°, then a = 83° as a + b = 90°. 83 is a prime number. So, answer is option d.

14. The diagram shows a solid with six triangular faces.

At each vertex there is a number and two of the numbers are 1 and 5,
as shown. The sum of the numbers at the three vertices of each face is
calculated, and all the sums are the same.
What is the sum of all five numbers at the vertices?

 बेरीज समान असेल, तर त्या आकृतीच्या पाच ही शरो बंदं व
ू रील संख्यांची बेरीज कती?

A. 9 B. 12 C. 17 D. 18

Answer : C

Solution:

Let the numbers at two of the other vertices be u and v, as shown

in the diagram.

The three faces sharing the vertex, labelled with the number 1,
all have the same sum.

Therefore, 1 + v + u = 1 + 5 + u. So, v = 5.
Similarly, 1 + v + 5 = 1 + v + u. So, u = 5.

Thus, the sum for each face is 1 + 5 + 5 = 11.

Hence, the number at the bottom vertex vertex must be 1.

Now, total of all 5 numbers at the vertices = 1 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 1 = 17

15. What is the minimum number of points that must be removed from the following
diagram so that, in the remaining picture, no three points lie in one line?

खाली दलेल्या आकृतीमधन ू कमीत कमी कती बंद ू वगळले असता, उरलेल्या आकृतीत,
कोणतेही तीन बंद ू एकरे षीय नसतील?

A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 4

Answer : C

Solution:
 In a 3 x 3 grid, there are 3 horizontal, 3 vertical, and 2 diagonal lines with 3 collinear
points each, totalling 8 lines.
To prevent three points from being collinear, remove at least one point from each line.

Removing 1 or 2 points leaves some lines with 3 collinear points.

Removing 3 points could work.

For Example: Remove the centre, top-right, and bottom-left points.

No line will have 3 collinear points.

Thus, the minimum number of points to remove is 3.

16. How many positive integers from 1 to 121 (both included) have exactly three

A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5

Answer : D

Solution:

A positive integer with exactly three divisors is nothing but the square of a prime
Number. Here, 121 is square of 11. So, consider squares of all primes upto 11.
They are: 4, 9, 25, 49, 121.

17. Here B, D, C and E are points on a line and A is a point outside this line.

तर, EAB ह्या कोनाचे माप कती अंश आहे ?
 A. 30 B. 45 C. 60 D. 105

Answer : D

Solution:

∠EAB = ∠DAB + ∠CAD + ∠EAC … (*)

As AB = AD = BD, △ABD is an equilateral triangle. So, all its angles are equal and their
measure is equal to 60 degrees. Hence, ∠DAB = 60 degrees.

In △ADC, ∠CDA = ∠DAB + ∠DBA = 60 + 60 = 120 degrees … Exterior angle property

Also, AD = DC. Hence, △ADC is an isosceles triangle.

So, ∠CAD = ∠DCA = ½ (180 - 120) = 30 degrees.

In △ACE, ∠ACE = ∠CDA + ∠DAC = 120 + 30 = 150 degrees … Exterior angle property

Also, AC = CE. Hence, △ACE is an isosceles triangle.

So, ∠EAC = ∠CEA = ½ (180 - 150) = 15 degrees.

Thus, ∠EAB = 60 + 30 + 15 = 105 … From (*)

18. The Municipal Corporation of a city wants to increase the revenue from city transport
bus. Different employees came up with different ways of achieving this. One employee

Answer : B

Solution:

Opt I - If the original Bus Ticket sale is ₹ 100, tax collected by the corporation will be
₹ 15
Opt II - If the original Bus Ticket sale is ₹ 100, new sale will be 15% more that is ₹ 115.
15% of this will be collected by the corporation i.e. 15% of 115 = ₹ 17.25
So, Option II is better.

 Solution:

Let us make the denomiantors equal.

7/8 = 126/144; 8/9 = 128/144.
Clearly, 127/144 lies strictly between these given fractions.

As 144 < 145

==> 1/144 > 1/145

==> 18/144 > 18/145

==> –18/144 < –18/145

==> 1 – 18/144 < 1 – 18/145

==> 126/144 < 127/145 … (A)

127/145 < 127/144 < 128/144 … (B)

From (A) and (B), 127/145 also lies strictly between the given fractions.

Hence the answer is Option C.

21. Find the length of the shortest altitude (in cm) of a triangle having the sides 15 cm,
20 cm, 25 cm.

15 सेमी, 20 सेमी आ ण 25 सेमी बाजू असलेल्या त्रकोणाच्या, सवात लहान (कमी लांबीच्या) शरोलंबाची
लांबी कती सेमी असेल?

Answer : 12

Solution:

Since 15² + 20² = 25², the triangle is a right-angled triangle with the side 25 cm as its
hypotenuse.
The shortest altitude in a right-angled triangle is the one drawn to the hypotenuse.
We can find its length using the formula for the area of a triangle:
Area = (1/2) * base * height = (1/2) * 15 * 20 = 150 cm²
Now, using the hypotenuse (25 cm) as the base and the shortest altitude (let's call it 'h')
as the height, we can set up the equation:
150 = (1/2) * 25 * h
Solving for h:
h = (2 * 150) / 25
h = 12 cm
Therefore, the length of the shortest altitude is 12 cm.

22. Three oranges and one pomegranate cost as much as two mangoes.
One orange, two pomegranates, and three mangoes together cost ₹ 41.
What is the lowest possible cost of three mangoes (in ₹)?
(For each of these 3 types of fruits, the price of one fruit is a whole number).

 तर, तीन आंब्यांची मळून कमीत कमी कंमत कती रुपये असेल?
(सव कंमती पण ू ाकांमध्ये आहे त).

Answer : 24

Solution:
Let the oranges be denoted by R, the pomegranates be denoted by P and the mangoes
be denoted by M.
Given that: 3R + P = 2M and R + 2P + 3M = 41
So, we get:
R + 2(2M - 3R) + 3M = 41
R + 4M - 6R + 3M = 41
7M - 5R = 41
7M = 41 + 5R … (*)
Trying different whole number values for R, we find that the smallest possible multiple
of 7 that we get for 41 + 5R = 56 (for R = 3) is M = 8.
So, 3M = 24.

23. Two regular hexagons have a circle positioned between them as shown in the figure.
If the area of the smaller, inner hexagon is 18 sq. cm, what is the area of the larger,
outer hexagon in sq. cm?

आकृतीत दाखवल्याप्रमाणे दोन भन्न आकारांच्या सस ु म

षट्कोनांमध्ये एक वतळ ु आहे . जर आतल्या लहान षट्कोनाचे
क्षेत्रफळ 18 चौ. सेमी असेल, तर बाहे रच्या मोठ्या षट्कोनाचे
क्षेत्रफळ कती चौ. सेमी असेल?

Answer : 24

Solution:

If we join the centre of the circle (Say O) with points E

and D, then an equilateral triangle will be formed with
side = side of hexagon = radius of the circle, say s.
Area of that triangle OED = (Square root of 3/4) * s²

The same radius s forms the height for similar

equilateral triangle formed with outer hexagon side say GH. If we consider the side of
outer hexagon as x, then (Square root of 3/2) * x = s.
Therefore, x / s = 2 / (Square root of 3).
Area of the triangle OGH = (Square root of 3 / 4) * x²
 Ratio of area of OGH to OED = x² / s² = (x / s)² = (2 / Square root of 3)² = 4 : 3
Ratio of areas of outer to inner hexagon is 4 : 3
Since the area of the inner hexagon is 18, the area of the outer hexagon is 24.

24. Consider a set of five natural numbers with the following properties:
Mean = 4
Median = 3
Mode = 3
How many such different sets of five natural numbers are possible that satisfy all these
conditions?

पाच नैस गक संख्यांचे मध्य, मध्यक व बहुलक खालीलप्रमाणे आहे त:

मध्य (सरासरी) = 4
मध्यक = 3
बहुलक = 3
तर, वरील सव गणु धम असलेले कोणत्याही पाच नैस गक संख्यांचे कती भन्न संच असू शकतील?

Answer : 11

Solution:

Since the mean is 4, the sum of all five numbers must be 20 (4 x 5 = 20).
Since the median is 3, the middle number in the ordered set must be 3.
Since the mode is 3, there must be at least two 3s in the set.
So the possibilities for the ordered set are:
{x, 3, 3, y, z} where x ≤ 3, z ≥ y ≥ 3 and x + y + z = 14
OR
{a, b, 3, 3, c} where a ≤ b ≤ 3, c ≥ 3 and a + b + c = 14
Since the mode is 3 (a single number), no other number can repeat as many times as (or
more than) the number of repetitions of the number 3.
Here are the only possible different sets that meet these conditions:
1 2 3 3 11
1 3 3 3 10
13349
13358
 13367
23339
23348
23357
33338

Thus, there are 11 different sets.

25. Ratio of the areas of two squares is 16 : 9.

If the side of the small square is 13.5 cm, then what is the perimeter of
the bigger square (in cm)?

ु ोत्तर 16 : 9 आहे . जर लहान चौरसाची बाजू 13.5 सेमी असेल,
तर मोठ्या चौरसाची प र मती कती सेमी असेल?

Answer : 72

Solution:

Let the side of the bigger square be y cm and the side of the smaller square be z cm.

Then, the ratio of the area of bigger square to the area of the smaller square is y² : z².

Given, ratio of areas of two squares = 16 : 9

==> y² / z² = 16/9 ==> y/z = 4/3

Given, side of smaller square is 13.5 cm i.e. z = 13.5 cm.

==> y = z × 4/3 = 13.5 × 4/3 = 18 cm.

Hence, perimeter of the bigger square = 4y = 4 × 18 = 72 cm.

26. The cost of 5 quintals of rice is ₹ 32500.

Find how many kilograms of rice can be purchased for ₹ 2080.

5 िक्वंटल तांदळाची कंमत जर ₹ 32500 आहे , तर ₹ 2080 मध्ये कती कलो तांदळ
ू
वकत घेता येईल?
 Answer : 32

Solution:

1 quintal = 100 kg.

So, if the cost of 500 kg rice is ₹ 32500, the cost of 1 kg rice = 32500 / 500 = ₹ 65.
Therefore, the quantity that can be purchased in ₹ 2080 is 2080 / 65 = 32 kg.

Answer : 12

Solution:

2-digit number + 1-digit number = 3-digit number.

The largest 3-digit number that can possibly be obtained in such an addition is 108.
Hence:
(a) leading digit of 3-digit number is necessarily 1 i.e. M = 1.
(b) ten’s place digit of 3-digit number is necessarily 0 i.e. O = 0.

Similarly, ten’s place digit of 2-digit number is necessarily 9 i.e. A = 9.

{since the 2-digit number is at least 91}

Looking at the unit’s place digits in the addition, we know A = 9 and M = 1.

Hence, S = 2.

9 2
A = 9, S = 2, M = 1 and O = 0
+ 9

1 0 1
 A + S + M + O = 9 + 2 + 1 + 0 = 12

28. Aniket sold two articles, each having the same cost price, for a combined price of ₹ 120
and incurred a loss.
If he were to sell them for a combined price of ₹ 180 instead, he would incur a profit
which is twice the loss incurred in the above transaction.
Find the cost price of each article in ₹.

अ नकेत ने समान खरे दी कंमत असणाऱ्या दोन वस्तू ₹ 120 ला वकल्या.

ह्या व्यवहारात त्याला तोटा झाला. त्याने जर ह्या वस्तू ₹ 180 ला वकल्या तर
आधीच्या व्यवहारात त्याला जेवढा तोटा झाला होता, त्याच्या दप्ु पट नफा होईल.
तर, एका वस्तच ू ी खरे दी कंमत नेमकी कती रुपये होती, ते शोधा.

Answer : 70

Solution:
Let the CP of each article be P rupees.
Loss made by selling the two articles for a combined price of ₹ 120 = 2P – 120
Profit made by selling the two articles for a combined price of ₹ 180 = 180 – 2P
According to the given condition:
Profit = 2 × loss
==> 180 – 2P = 2 × (2P – 120)
==> 180 – 2P = 4P – 240
==> 6P = 420
==> P = 70
Therefore, the CP of each article = ₹70.

30. The difference between 𝑛 and 10 is less than 1 for a whole number n.
How many such whole numbers are there having this characteristic?

n ह्या एका पण
ू संख्येचे वगमळ
ू आ ण 10 ह्यांच्यातील फरक 1 पेक्षा लहान आहे .
तर हा गणु धम असलेल्या एकूण कती पणू संख्या आहे त?

Answer : 39

Solution:

This means that the square root of n is within 1 unit of 10.

So, the square root of n must be between 9 and 11 (9 and 11 not included).
That is,
9 < 𝑛 < 11
9² < n < 11²
81 < n < 121
Therefore, the smallest such integer n that satisfies the condition is 82,
while the largest such integer n is 120.
Hence there are 120 – 82 + 1 = 39 such integers.
