  • Question 1
    3 / -1

    Ramesh went to a food joint and bought some burgers and rolls for his family members. In total, he spent less than Rs. 3000. Had Ramesh spent the amount he actually spent on buying burgers to buy rolls and vice versa, he would have ended up buying 3 more items in total. What is the maximum number of burgers that Ramesh could have bought if it is known that a burger and a roll cost Rs. 80 and Rs. 60 respectively?

    Solution

    Let 'x' and 'y' be the number of burgers and rolls bought by Ramesh in the first case.

    It is given that: 80x + 60y < 3000

    ⇒ 4x+3y < 150 ... (1)

    We are given that in the 2nd case he spends Rs. 80x on purchasing rolls and Rs. 60y on burgers.

    It is known that in the 2nd case Ramesh was able to buy 3 more items in the same amount of money. Hence,

    At y = 4, x = 12

    At y = 8, x = 15

    At y = 12, x = 18

    At y = 16, x = 21

    At y = 20, x can't be 24 because in that case 4x+3y > 150. Hence, we can say that xmax = 21.

     

  • Question 2
    3 / -1

    A shopkeeper normally makes a profit of 20% in a certain transaction; he weights 900 g instead of 1 kg, due to an issue with the weighing machine. If he charges 10% less than what he normally charges, what is his actual profit or loss percentage?

    Solution

     

  • Question 3
    3 / -1

    Virat, Rohit and Shikhar finished as the top 3 run scorers in IPL 2018. Virat scored half the number of runs scored by Rohit and Shikhar combined whereas Rohit scored one-fourth of what Virat and Shikar scored together. If Virat scored 150 runs more than Rohit, then the total runs scored by the 3 players is

    Solution

    Let 'V', 'R' and 'S' be the number of runs scored by Virat, Rohit and Shikar respectively.

    It is given that, 

    ⇒ 4R = R + 150 + R + 300

    ⇒ R = 225 Runs.

    Therefore, V = R + 150 or 375 runs,   S = R + 300 = 525 runs.

    Hence, the total number of runs scored by all 3 players combined = 375 + 225 + 525 = 1125. 

     

  • Question 4
    3 / -1

    Set P has 4 elements and set Q has 5 elements. How many numbers of functions are defined from P to Q?

    Solution

    Given, Set P has 4 elements and set Q has 5 elements

    ⇒ The numbers of injections are defined from P to Q = 5P4 = 5!/(5−4)!

    ⇒ The numbers of injections are defined from P to Q = 5! = 120

     

  • Question 5
    3 / -1

    We are told that f(x) is a polynomial function such that f(a)f(b) = f(a) + f(b) + f(ab) - 2 and f(4) = 17, find the value of f(7).

    Solution

    f(a)f(b) = f(a) + f(b) + f(ab) - 2

    Put a = b = 1.

    [f(1)]2 =3f(1)−2 ⇒ f(1) = 1 (or) 2.

    Let's assume f(1) = 1

    Now, put b = 1.

    f(a) = 2f(a) - 1

    ⇒ f(a) = 1 ⇒ For all values of a, f(a) = 1.

    This is false because f(4) = 17.

    ⇒ f(1) = 2 is the correct value.

    Now put b = 1/a

    f(a)f(1/a) = f(a) + f(1/a) + 2 - 2

    ⇒ f(a)f(1/a) = f(a) + f(1/a)

    So taking RHS terms to LHS and adding 1 to both sides we get

    f(a)f(1/a) - f(a) - f(1/a) +1 = 1

    (f(a) - 1) (f(1/a)-1) = 1

    Let g(x) = f(x)-1

    So g(x)*g(1/x) = 1

    So g(x) is of the form ±xn

    So f(x) is of the form ±xn +1.

    f(a) = an +1 satisfies the above condition.

    −4n +1 = 17 ⇒ -4n−4 n  = 16, which is not possible.

    4a +1 = 17 ⇒ n = 2

    ⇒ f(a) = a2 + 1a 2 +1

    ⇒ f(7) = 72 + 1 = 50

     

  • Question 6
    3 / -1

    If N = 823 - 623 - 203, then N can be expressed as a product of ________ with 3

    Solution

    Using the identity a3 + b3 + c3 - 3abc = (a + b + c) × (a2 + b2 + c2 - ab - bc - ac).

    We find that if a + b + c = 0.

    Then, a3 + b3 + c3 = 3abc.

    Therefore, a3 + b3 + c3 is divisible by a, b, c and 3.

    Now, here a = 82, b = - 62 and c = - 20.

    i.e. a + b + c = 0

    Therefore, N is divisible by 3, 82, 62 and 20.

    Thus, N can be expressed as a product of 3 and 82 × (- 62) × (- 20)

    Thus, the answer is 82 × (- 62) × (- 20) = 1,01,680

     

  • Question 7
    3 / -1

    A distinct number of contracts were given to each of the nine major construction companies. Find the least number of contracts that could have been given to the company that got the lowest number of contracts among the nine companies, such that sum of the number of contracts given to any five companies is greater than the sum of number of contracts given to the remaining four companies.

    Solution

    In order to minimize the total number of contracts, the number of contracts received by the companies must be consecutive integers because each of the companies got a distinct number of contracts.

    So, let the number of contracts of different companies be a-4,a-3,a-2,a-1,a,a+1,a+2,a+3 and a+4.

    To maintain the sum of the number of contracts given to any five companies is greater than the sum of the number of contracts given to the remaining four companies, the sum of the lowest five companies must exceed the amount of top four companies. If such a condition is maintained, then any set of 5 companies will exceed any set of 4 companies.
    It is the limiting condition for five companies to exceed four companies.

    5a - 10 > 4a + 10

    a > 20 ⇒ Minimum value of a is 21 ⇒ Minimum value of the number of contracts got by the company which was given the least number of contracts among the 9 companies = a - 4 = 21 - 4 = 17.

     

  • Question 8
    3 / -1

    If [X] represents the greatest integer function, a is a positive integer where [a/3]-[a/5]=2 then what is the number of possible values a can take?

    Solution

    To get the value of  [a/3]-[a/5]=2, [a/3] should be ≥2 because [a/3] ≥ [a/5]

    At a=6,  [a/3]=2 but [a/5]= 1. So [a/3]-[a/5] = 1

    We will take the next multiple of 3.

    At a=9, [a/3]=3 but [a/5]= 1. So [a/3]-[a/5] = 2.............(1st case)

    In this question, we will check the multiples of 3 and 5 as these points will change the values of [a/3] and [a/5].

    Given ‘a’ is a positive integer.

    We can create a following table:

    For any value greater than 20 the equation [a/3]-[a/5]=2 will be greater than 3 

    Hence total of 8 values.

    Answer A

     

  • Question 9
    3 / -1

    In a △ABC, three points P, Q and R lie on sides AB, BC and CA respectively such that AP : PB = BQ:QC = CR:RA = 3:5. Find out the ratio of the area of \triangle△PQR to that of △ABC.

    Solution

    Let us draw the diagram according to the information given in the question. 

    Let '8x', '8y' and '8z' be the length of side AB, BC and CA respectively. 

    Hence, option C is the correct answer. 

     

  • Question 10
    3 / -1
