  • Question 1
    1 / -0

    The average of two non-negative integers x and y is 4. How many pairs of (x, y) satisfy this condition?

    Solution

    Total = Average x No. of terms
    Here, total sum of x + y should be equal to 8.
    Possible pairs of x and y are (0, 8), (1, 7), (2, 6), (3, 5), (4, 4), (5, 3), (6, 2), (7, 1), (8, 0)

    Hence, total 9 pairs satisfy the condition.

     

  • Question 2
    1 / -0

    In a certain school, 71% students like cricket, 76% students like football and 82% students like tennis. Then, all the three sports are liked by at least

    Solution

    Suppose number of students in a class=100

    So, the number of students who like cricket = n(c) = 71

    Number of students who like football = n(f) = 76, and

    Number of students who like tennis = n(t) = 82

    From the above three, we can find the number of students who at least like two games

    n(C ∪ F) = 56, n(F ∪ T) = 58 and n(T ∪ C) = 53

    So, n(C ∩ F ∩ T) = n(C ∪ F ∪ T) - n(C) - n(F) - n(T) + n(C ∩ F) + n(F ∩ T) + n(T ∩ C)

    ⇒ n(C ∩ F ∩ T) = 100 - 71 - 76 - 82 + 56 + 58 + 53 = 38

    Hence, all the three sports are liked by at least 38% students.

     

  • Question 3
    1 / -0

    Find the time taken (in seconds) by two trains to cross each other if they are running at the speeds of 46 kmph and 54 kmph, respectively in the same direction. It is given that the length of one train is 210 m and of the other train is 270 m.

    Solution

    Relative speed = 54 – 46 = 8 kmph
    Relative speed = 8 x 5/18 = 20/9 m/s
    Distance to be covered = 210 + 270 = 480 m
    Time = 480 x 9/20 = 216 seconds

     

  • Question 4
    1 / -0

    Let tn be the number of integral-sided triangles with distinct sides chosen from {1, 2, 3, ……., n}. Then, t20 - t19 equals

    Solution

    T20 = T19 + (T20 with largest side 20)
    Largest side is 20 and another side is a and b.

    ∴ a + b > 20

    Suppose a = 2, then the number of possible values of b is 1, b has only b = 19
    and for a = 3, the number of possible values of b is 2, and b = 18, 19
    for a = 4, the number of possible values of b is 3, and b = 17, 18, 19
    for a = 5, the number of possible values of b is 4, and b = 16, 17, 18, 19
    for a = 6, the number of possible values of b is 5, and b = 15, 16, 17, 18, 19
    for a = 7, the number of possible values of b is 6, and b = 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19
    for a = 8, the number of possible values of b is 7, and b = 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19
    for a = 9, the number of possible values of b is 8, and b = 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19
    for a = 10, the number of possible values of b is 9, and b = 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19
    for a = 11, the number of possible values of b is 8, and b = 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19
    for a = 12, the number of possible values of b is 7, and b = 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19
    for a = 13, the number of possible values of b is 6, and b = 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19
    for a = 14, the number of possible values of b is 5, and b = 15, 16, 17, 18, 19
    for a = 15, the number of possible values of b is 4, and b = 16, 17, 18, 19
    for a = 16, the number of possible values of b is 3, and b = 17, 18, 19
    for a = 17, the number of possible values of b is 2, and b = 18, 19
    for a = 18, the number of possible values of b is 1, and b = 19
    Hence, the number of possible triangles with largest side = 2 (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8) + 9 = 81
    Hence, T20 - T19 = 81

     

  • Question 5
    1 / -0

    A and B together can complete a piece of work in 25 days. B and C together can complete the same work in 30 days. How many days would A and C take to complete the work?

    Solution

    A and B can do 1/25 th of the work in 1 day.
    B and C can do 1/30 th of the work in 1 day.
    From this, we cannot say anything about A and C.

     

  • Question 6
    1 / -0

    The number of real roots of the equation: (x2 + 4x)2 - (x + 2)2 - 26 = 0 is

    Solution

    (x2 + 4x)2 - (x + 2)2 - 26 = 0
    (x2 + 4x + 4 - 4)2 - (x + 2)2 - 26 = 0
    ((x + 2)2 - 4)2 - (x + 2)2 - 26 = 0
    Putting (x + 2)2 = y, we get
    (y - 4)2 - y - 26 = 0
    y2 - 8y + 16 - y - 26 = 0
    y2 - 9y - 10 = 0
    y = 10, - 1
    y can't be negative as y = (x + 2)2.
    So, (x + 2)= 10
    From this, we will get the two values of x. Hence, the given equation has 2 real roots.

     

  • Question 7
    1 / -0

    In a pair of two supplementary angles, the measure of the larger angle is 44o more than the measure of the smaller one. What are the measures of these angles?

    Solution

    Let the smaller angle be x.
    Larger angle = x + 44o
    We know that, the sum of two supplementary angles is 180o.
    Therefore, x + x + 44o = 180o
    2x = 180o - 44o = 136o
    x = 68o
    Smaller angle = 68o
    Larger angle = 68o + 44o = 112o

     

  • Question 8
    1 / -0

    The number of real roots of equation 3x10 + 7x6 + 5x4 + 2x2 + 1 = 0 is

    So, refractive index of air with respect to glass = μa= 2/3

     

  • Question 11
    1 / -0

    Which of the following phenomena can be demonstrated by light, but not by sound waves in an air column?

    Solution

    Sound waves cannot be polarised. The reason is that sound waves are longitudinal waves, which means molecules vibration takes place in forward and backward direction, but in light waves which are transverse waves, molecules vibration takes place up and down and side by side. This is the reason why light waves can be polarised and sound waves cannot be polarised.

     

  • Question 12
    1 / -0

  • Question 21
    1 / -0

    A metal 'M' is positioned between sodium and aluminium in the reactivity series. Which of the following metals can displace 'M' from its salt solution?

    Solution

    Metal 'M' is positioned between sodium and aluminium in the reactivity series. This means that metal M is less reactive than sodium, but more reactive than aluminium. In general, a more reactive metal can displace a less reactive metal from its salt solution. Lead and zinc are less reactive than Al. They are less reactive than M and they will not be able to displace M from its salt solution. Potassium is more reactive than sodium. Therefore, it is more reactive than M and it will be able to displace M from its salt solution.

    The number of solutions of the equation |x2 - 4| = 4 + x2 is

    Solution

    |x2 - 4| = 4 + x2
    Case I: If x2 - 4 ≥ 0
    i.e. x ≤ -2 and x ≥ 2
    Then, |x2 - 4| = x2 - 4
    ⇒ The given equation becomes x2 - 4 = 4 + x2.
     -4 = 4; which is not possible.
    Case II: If x2 - 4 < 0
     -2 < x < 2
    Then, |x2 - 4| = - (x2 - 4)
    Thus, the given equation becomes - (x2 - 4) = 4 + x2.
