  • Question 1
    1 / -0

    ‘a’ and ‘b’ are two positive integers such that the least prime factor of ‘a’ is 3 and the least prime factor of ‘b’ is 5. Then the least prime factor of (a + b) is

    Solution

    Given that a is a positive integer such that the least prime factor of a is 3.

    Then a must be an odd integer.

    (Because if a is an even integer than least prime factor of a is 2.)

    Similarly, b is a positive integer such that the least prime factor is 5.

    Then b must be also an odd integer.

    Since, odd + odd = even.

    \(\therefore\) a + b is an even integer which has the least prime factor 2.

    Hence, the least prime factor of (a + b) is 2.

  • Question 2
    1 / -0

    If \(\alpha,\) \(\beta\) are the zeros of the polynomial f(x) = \(\mathrm{x^2 - 5x + k}\) such that \(\alpha - \beta = 1\). Then the value of k is

    Solution

    Given that \(\alpha , \beta\) are the zeros of the polynomial f(x) \(=\mathrm{x^2 - 5x + k}\) and \(\alpha - \beta =1\)

    \(\therefore \) sum of zeros and product of zeros are \(\frac{-(-5)}{1}\) and \(\frac{k}{1}\)

    \(\therefore \) \(\alpha + \beta = 5\) and \(\alpha \beta = k\)

    We know that \((\alpha-\beta)^2\) \(=(\alpha + \beta)^2-4\alpha \beta\) = 25 - 4k  (\(\because\) \(\alpha + \beta = 5\) & \(\alpha + \beta = k\))

    \(\Rightarrow\) 25 – 4k = \((\alpha-\beta)^2\) \(=1^2=1\)  \((\because \alpha - \beta =1)\)

    \(\Rightarrow\) 4k = 25 – 1 = 24 

    \(\Rightarrow\) \(k = \frac{24}{4}=6\)

    Hence, the value of k is 6.

  • Question 3
    1 / -0

    We have a rectangle whose length and breadth is l m and b m respectively. The length of a rectangle is increased by 20% and breadth is decreases by 20%.

    The original area of rectangle is: (in \(m^2\))

    Solution

    Given that length and breadth of rectangle is \(l\) m and b m respectively.

    Therefore, the area of rectangle is \(l\times b \,m^2\)

  • Question 4
    1 / -0

    We have a rectangle whose length and breadth is \(l\) m and b m respectively. The length of a rectangle is increased by 20% and breadth is decreases by 20%.

    The new length is:

    Solution

    Length and breadth of original rectangle is \(l\) m and b m respectively.

    Given that length of rectangle is increased by 20 %.

    \(\therefore\) Length of modified rectangle is \(l + \frac{20}{100}l\) \(=l + \frac{1}{5}l = \frac{6}{5}l \,m\)

    Hence, the new length is \(\frac{6l}{5}m\).

  • Question 5
    1 / -0

    We have a rectangle whose length and breadth is \(l \) m and b m respectively. The length of a rectangle is increased by 20% and breadth is decreases by 20%.

    The new breadth is:

    Solution

    Length and breadth of original rectangle is \(l \) m and b m respectively.

    Given that breadth of rectangle is decreased by 20%.

    \(\therefore\) Breadth of modified rectangle \(=b-\frac{20}{100}b = b - \frac{1}{5}b=\frac{4b}{5}m\)

    Hence, the new breadth is \(\frac{4b}{5}m\).

  • Question 6
    1 / -0

    We have a rectangle whose length and breadth is \(l\) m and b m respectively. The length of a rectangle is increased by 20% and breadth is decreases by 20%.

    The new area of rectangle is: (in \(m^2\))

    Solution

    Length and breadth of original rectangle is \(l\) m and b m respectively.

    Given that length of rectangle is increased by 20 %.

    \(\therefore\) Length of modified rectangle is \(l + \frac{20}{100}l\) \(=l + \frac{1}{5}l\) \(=\frac{6}{5}l\,m\)

    Hence, the new length is \(\frac{6l}{5}m\)

    Given that breadth of rectangle is decreased by 20%.

    \(\therefore\) Breadth of modified rectangle = \(b-\frac{20}{100}b\) \(=b-\frac{1}{5}b = \frac{4b}{5}m\)

    Hence, the new breadth is \(\frac{4b}{5}m\)

    \(\therefore\) The area of modified rectangle is \(\frac{6l}{5}\times \frac{4b}{5}\) \(=\frac{24lb}{25}m^2\)

    Hence, the new area of rectangle is \(\frac{24lb}{25}m^2\).

  • Question 7
    1 / -0

    We have a rectangle whose length and breadth is \(l\) m and b m respectively. The length of a rectangle is increased by 20% and breadth is decreases by 20%.

    Percentage change in area will be:

    Solution

    Length and breadth of original rectangle is \( l\) m and b m respectively.

    Given that length of rectangle is increased by 20 %.

    \(\therefore\) Length of modified rectangle is \(l+\frac{20}{100}l =l + \frac{1}{5}l = \frac{6}{5}l\,m\)

    Hence, the new length is \(\frac{6l}{5}m\)

    Given that breadth of rectangle is decreased by 20%.

    \(\therefore\) Breadth of modified rectangle \(=b - \frac{20}{100}b\) \(=b-\frac{1}{5}b = \frac{4b}{5}m\)

    Hence, the new breadth is \(\frac{4b}{5}m\)

    \(\therefore\) The area of modified rectangle is \(\frac{6l}{5}\times \frac{4b}{5}=\frac{24lb}{25}m^2\)

    Hence, the new area of rectangle is \(\frac{24lb}{25}m^2\)

    \(\because\) The original area of rectangle is \(l\)b \(m^2\) and the new area of rectangle after modification is \(\frac{24lb}{25}m^2\)

    \(\therefore\) The change in area \(= lb-\frac{24lb}{25}=\frac{lb}{25}\)

    \(\therefore\) Percentage change in area \(=\frac{The\,new\,area\,of\,modified\,rectangle}{The\,area\,of\,original\,rectangle}\times 100\)

    \(=\frac{lb}{25}\times \frac{100}{lb}=4\%\)

  • Question 8
    1 / -0

    The median of first 8 prime numbers is

    Solution

    The ascending order of first 8 prime numbers is 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19.

    Total prime numbers is n = 8.

    \(\therefore \)  \(Median=\frac{\frac{n}{2}^{th}term + \left(\frac{n}{2}+1\right)^{th}term}{2}\)  

    \(=\frac{4^{th}term + 5^{th}term}{2}\)

    \(=\frac{7+11}{2}=\frac{18}{2}=9\) \(\left(\because \frac{n}{2}=\frac{8}{2}=4\right)\)

    Hence, the median of first 8 prime numbers is 9.

  • Question 9
    1 / -0

    A family is having 3 children. Then the probability of having at least one boy is

    Solution

    Let the event E be the event that family having at least one boy.

    Total number of children in the family = 3.

    \(\therefore\) Sample space = {BBB, BBG, GBB, BGG, GBG, GGB, GGG}.

    Total number of possible outcomes = \(2^3\) = 8.

    Outcomes favorable to event E = {BBB, BBG, BGB, GBB, BGG, GBG, GGB}.

    Total outcomes favorable to event E = 7.

    Now, probability of having at least one by 

    \(=\frac{No.\,of\,outcomes\,favourable\,to\,event\,E}{Total\,no.\,of\,possible\,outcomes}\) \(=\frac{7}{8}\)

    Hence, the probability of having at least one boy in a family of 3 children is \(\frac{7}{8}\).

  • Question 10
    1 / -0

    If the points A(4, 3) and B(x, 5) lie on the circle with center O(2,3). Then the value of x is

    Solution

    Given that point A(4, 3) lies on a circle whose centre is O(2, 3).

    \(\therefore\) Distance between points O(2, 3) & A(4, 3) is equals to the radius of the circle.

    \(\therefore\) Radius of the circle is r \(=\sqrt{(4-2)^2+(3-3)^2}\)  (By distance formula)

    \(\Rightarrow\) \(r=\sqrt{2^2+0}=2\,unit\)

    Hence, the radius of the circle is r = 2 unit

    Now, the equation of the circle whose centre is O(2, 3) and radius 2 is

    \((\mathrm x-2)^2+(y-3)^2=2^2\)

    \(\Rightarrow \mathrm{x^2 - 4x + 4 + y^2-6y+ 9 = 4}\)  (\(\because\) \((a-b)^2 = a^2+b^2-2ab\))

    \(\Rightarrow \mathrm{x^2 + y^2-4x - 6y + 9=0}\)  ...........(1)

    Since, point B(x, 5) lie on the circle whose equation given by equation (1), therefore, point B(x, 5) satisfies equation (1).

    \(\therefore\) \(\mathrm{x^2 + 5^2 - 4x - 30 + 9} = 0\)

    \(\Rightarrow \mathrm{x^2 - 4x - 21 + 25 = 0}\)

    \(\Rightarrow \mathrm{x^2 - 4x + 4 = 0}\)

    \(\Rightarrow (\mathrm x-2)^2 = 0\)

    \(\Rightarrow \mathrm x- 2 = 0\) \(\Rightarrow \mathrm x = 2\)

    Hence, the value of x is x = 2.

  • Question 11
    1 / -0

    The \(4^{th}\) term of an A.P is 11 The sum of the \(5^{th}\) and \(7^{th}\) terms of this AP is 34.

    \(T_4\) = 11, then we can say that; 

    Solution

    Let first term of AP is a and common difference of AP is d.

    We know that \(n^{th}\) term of AP is given by \(T_n = a+(n-1)d\)

    Now, given that \(4^{th}\) term of AP is 11. i.e., \(T_4 = 11\)

    \(\Rightarrow \) a + (4 –1)d = 11

    \(\Rightarrow \) a + 3d = 11

  • Question 12
    1 / -0

    The \(4^{th}\) term of an AP is 11. The sum of the \(5^{th}\) and \(7^{th}\) terms of this AP is 34.

    Given that \(T_5 + T_7 = 34\), signifies

    Solution

    Let first term of AP is a and common difference of AP is d.

    Now, given that the sum of \(5^{th}\) and \(7^{th}\) terms of AP is 34. i.e., \(T_5 + T_7 = 34\)

    \(\therefore\) a + (5 – 1)d + a + (7 – 1)d = 34

    \(\Rightarrow \) 2a + 4d + 6d = 34

    \(\Rightarrow \) a + 5d = 17

  • Question 13
    1 / -0

    The \(4^{th}\) term of an AP is 11. The sum of the \(5^{th}\) and \(7^{th}\) terms of this AP is 34.

    The value of \(1^{st}\) term ‘a’ is:

    Solution

    Let first term of AP is a and common difference of AP is d.

    We know that \(n^{th}\) term of AP is given by \(T_n=a+(n-1)d\)

    Now, given that \(4^{th}\) term of AP is 11. i.e., \(T_4 =11\)

    \(\Rightarrow\) a + (4 –1)d = 11

    \(\Rightarrow\) a + 3d = 11  ..........(1)

    Again, given that the sum of \(5^{th}\) and \(7^{th}\) terms of AP is 34. i.e., \(T_5+T_7 = 34\)

    \(\therefore\) a + (5 – 1)d + a + (7 – 1)d = 34

    \(\Rightarrow\) 2a + 4d + 6d = 34

    \(\Rightarrow\) a + 5d = 17  .......(2)

    Now, subtracting equation (1) from equation (2), we get (a + 5d) – (a + 3d) = 17 – 11

    \(\Rightarrow\) 2d = 6

    \(\Rightarrow\) \(d=\frac{6}{2}=3\)

    Hence, the common difference of AP is d = 3.

    Now, putting d = 3 in equation (1), we get a + 3\(\times\)3 = 11

    \(\Rightarrow\) a = 11– 9 =2.

    Hence, the first term of AP is a = 2.

  • Question 14
    1 / -0

    The \(4^{th}\) term of an AP is 11. The sum of the \(5^{th}\) and \(7^{th}\) terms of this AP is 34.

    Common difference of AP is:

    Solution

    Let first term of AP is a and common difference of AP is d.

    We know that \(n^{th}\) term of AP is given by \(T_n = a + (n-1)d\)

    Now, given that \(4^{th}\) term of AP is 11. i.e\(T_4 =11\)

    \(\Rightarrow a + (4-1)d = 11\)

    \(\Rightarrow a + 3d = 11\) ...........(1)

    Again, given that the sum of \(5^{th}\) and \(7^{th}\) terms of AP is 34. i.e., \(T_5 + T_7 = 34\)

    \(\therefore\) a + (5 – 1)d + a + (7 – 1)d = 34

    \(\Rightarrow 2a + 4d + 6d = 34\)

    \(\Rightarrow a + 5d = 17\)  ............(2)

    Now, subtracting equation (1) from equation (2), we get (a + 5d) – (a + 3d) = 17 – 11

    \(\Rightarrow 2d = 6\)

    \(\Rightarrow d = \frac{6}{2}=3\)

    Hence, the common difference of AP is d = 3.

  • Question 15
    1 / -0

    The \(4^{th}\) term of an AP is 11. The sum of the \(5^{th}\) and \(7^{th}\) terms of this AP is 34.

    \(T_{50}\) = ?

    Solution

    Let first term of AP is a and common difference of AP is d.

    We know that \(n^{th}\) term of AP is given by \(T_n = a + (n-1)d\)

    Now, given that \(4^{th}\) term of AP is 11. i.e, \(T_4 =11\)

    \(\Rightarrow\) a + (4 –1)d = 11

    \(\Rightarrow\) a + 3d = 11  ............(1)

    Again, given that the sum of \(5^{th}\) and \(7^{th}\) term of AP is 34. i.e, \(T_5 + T_7 = 34\)

    \(\therefore\) a + (5 – 1)d + a + (7 – 1)d = 34

    \(\Rightarrow\) 2a + 4d + 6d = 34

    \(\Rightarrow\) a + 5d = 17 ...........(2)

    Now, subtracting equation (1) from equation (2), we get (a + 5d) – (a + 3d) = 17 – 11

    \(\Rightarrow\) 2d = 6 \(\Rightarrow\) d = \(\frac{6}{2}=3\)

    Hence, the common difference of AP is d = 3.

    Now, putting d = 3 in equation (1), we get a + 3\(\times\) 3 = 11

    \(\Rightarrow\) a = 11– 9 =2.

    Hence, the first term of AP is a = 2.

    \(T_{50}=a +(50-1)d\)

    = a + 49 d

    = 2 + 49 × 3

    = 2 + 147 = 149. (\(\because\) a = 2, d = 3)

  • Question 16
    1 / -0

    The difference between two numbers is 5 and the difference between their squares is 65. Then the numbers are

    Solution

    Let the numbers are a and b.

    Given that difference between both numbers is 5.

    \(\therefore\) a - b = 5  ...........(1)

    Given that difference between their squares is 65.

    \(\therefore\) \(a^2 - b^2 = 65\) 

    \(\Rightarrow\) (a – b)( a + b) = 65  (\(\because\) (a - b)(a + b) = \(a^2 - b^2\))

    \(\Rightarrow\) 5(a + b) = 65

    \(\Rightarrow\) a + b \(=\frac{65}{5}=13\)  ...........(2)

    Now, adding equations (1) & (2), we get (a – b) + ( a + b) = 5 + 13

    \(\Rightarrow\) 2a = 18

    \(\Rightarrow\) a \(=\frac{18}{2}=9\)

    Now, putting a = 9 in equation (1), we get 9 – b = 5 ⇒ b = 9 – 5 = 4.

    Hence, the numbers are 4 and 9.

  • Question 17
    1 / -0

    If 3x = cosecθ and \(\frac{3}{\mathrm x}\) = cotθ. Then the value of \(\mathrm{3\left(x^2-\frac{1}{x^2}\right)} \) is

    Solution

    Given that 3x = cosecθ and \(\frac{3}{\mathrm x}\) = cotθ

    Now, \(\mathrm{cosec}^2\theta=\mathrm{(3x)^2=9x^2}\)

    And \(\cot^2\theta = \left(\frac{3}{\mathrm x}\right)^2=\frac{9}{\mathrm x^2}\)

    We know that \(\mathrm{cosec}^2\theta -\cot^2\theta =1\)

    \(\therefore\) \(9\mathrm x^2-\frac{9}{\mathrm x^2}=1\) 

    \(\Rightarrow \) \(9\left(\mathrm x^2 - \frac{1}{\mathrm x^2}\right)=1\)

    \(\Rightarrow 3\mathrm{\left(x^2-\frac{1}{x^2}\right)}=\frac{1}{3}\)

    Hence, the value of \(\mathrm{3\left(x^2-\frac{1}{x^2}\right)}\) is \(\frac{1}{3}\).

  • Question 18
    1 / -0

    A sailor can row a boat 8 km downstream and return back to the starting point in 1 hour 40 minutes. The speed of the stream is 2 km/hour and speed of boat in still water is 10 km/hour.

    Speed downstream is equal to:

    Solution

    Given that speed of the stream is x = 2 km/hour.

    Speed of boat in still water is y = 10 km/hour.

    Now, speed downstream = speed of boat in still water + speed of the stream = x + y = 2 + 10

    = 12 km/hour. (\(\because\) work is in favour of stream and x = 2 & y = 10)

  • Question 19
    1 / -0

    A sailor can row a boat 8 km downstream and return back to the starting point in 1 hour 40 minutes. The speed of the stream is 2 km/hour and speed of boat in still water is 10 km/hour.

    Speed upstream is equal to:

    Solution

    Given that speed of the stream is x = 2 km/hour.

    Speed of boat in still water is y = 10 km/hour.

    Now, speed upstream = speed of boat in still water – speed of the stream = y – x = 10 – 2

    = 8 km/hour. (\(\because\) work done is against stream and x = 2 & y = 10)

  • Question 20
    1 / -0

    A sailor can row a boat 8 km downstream and return back to the starting point in 1 hour 40 minutes. The speed of the stream is 2 km/hour and speed of boat in still water is 10 km/hour.

    Time taken to cover 8 km downstream will be:

    Solution

    Given that speed of the stream is x = 2km/hour.

    Speed of boat in still water is y = 10 km/hour.

    Total time = 1 hour 40 minutes \(=1\frac{40}{60}\)hours \(=1\frac{2}{3}\) \(=\frac{5}{3}hours\)

    Distance covered by boat is S = 8 km in both ways downstream and upstream.

    Now, speed downstream = speed of boat in still water + speed of the stream = x + y = 2 + 10

    = 12 km/hour.  (\(\because\) work is in favour of stream and x = 2 & y = 10)

    Time taken to cover 8km downstream \(=\frac{8}{speed\,down\,stream}\) \(=\frac{8}{12}=\frac{2}{3}hour.\)

  • Question 21
    1 / -0

    A sailor can row a boat 8 km downstream and return back to the starting point in 1 hour 40 minutes. The speed of the stream is 2 km/hour and speed of boat in still water is 10 km/hour.

    Time taken to cover 8 km upstream is:

    Solution

    Given that speed of the stream is x = 2km/hour.

    Speed of boat in still water is y = 10 km/hour.

    Total time = 1 hour 40 minutes \(=1\frac{40}{60}\) hours \(=1\frac{2}{3}\) \(=\frac{5}{3}\) hours

    Distance covered by boat is S = 8 km in both ways downstream and upstream

    Now, speed upstream = speed of boat in still water – speed of the stream = y – x = 10 – 2

    = 8 km/hour. (\(\because\) work done is against stream and x = 2 & y = 10)

    Time taken to cover 8 km up–stream \(=\frac{8}{speed\,up\,stream}\) \(=\frac{8}{8}\) = 1 hour.

  • Question 22
    1 / -0

    If the speed of boat in still water is x km/hr, other parameter remaining the same, then, we have \(\mathrm{\frac{8}{x+2}+\frac{8}{x-2} = \frac{5}{3}}\), which reduces to:

    Solution

    Given that \(\frac{8}{\mathrm x+2}+\frac{8}{\mathrm x-2}=\frac{5}{3}\)

    \(\Rightarrow \mathrm{\frac{8(x-2)+8(x+2)}{(x+2)(x-2)}} =\frac{5}{3}\)

    \(\Rightarrow \mathrm{\frac{8x-16+8x+16}{x^2-4}} = \frac{5}{3}\)  (\(\because\) (a + b)(a - b) = \(a^2\) - \(b^2\))

    \(\Rightarrow \mathrm{3\times 16x = 5(x^2-4)}\) (By cross multiplication)

    \(\Rightarrow \mathrm{48x=5x^2-20}\)

    \(\Rightarrow \mathrm{5x^2-48x-20=0}\)

  • Question 23
    1 / -0

    If one zero of the polynomial \(\mathrm{(a^2+9)x^2 + 13x + 6a}\) is reciprocal of the other. Then the value of a is

    Solution

    Let one zero of the given polynomial is \(\alpha\).

    Given that one zero of given polynomial is reciprocal of the other.

    \(\therefore\) The other zero of given polynomial is \(\frac{1}{\alpha}\)

    Hence, the zeros of the given polynomial \((a^2+9)\mathrm x^2+13\mathrm x + 6a\) are \(\alpha\) and \(\frac{1}{\alpha}\).

    Now, the product of the zeros is \(\alpha.\frac{1}{\alpha}=\frac{6a}{a^2+9}\)

    \(\Rightarrow \frac{6a}{a^2+9}=1\)

    \(\Rightarrow a^2+9 = 6a\)

    \(\Rightarrow a^2-6a + 9 = 0\)

    \(\Rightarrow (a-3)^2 = 0\)  (\(\because (a-b)^2\) \(=a^2-2ab+b^2)\)

    \(\Rightarrow a = 3\)

    Hence, the value of a is 3.
