(a) 2 (b) 3 (c) 4 (d) 5
Sol. (c)
2
a & b are roots of x – 5x + 3 = 0
2 2
so  – 5 + 32 = 0   + 3 = 5
& 2 – 5 + 3 = 0  2 + 3 = 5

Q2: The number of triples (x, y, z) such that any one of these numbers is added to the product of the other
two, the result is 2, is
(a) 1 (b) 2 (c) 4 (d) infinitely many
Sol. (b)
x + yz = 2 … (1)
y + xz = 2 … (2)
z + xy = 2 … (3)
equation (1) - equation (2)
(x – y) + z (y – x) = 0
(x – y) (1 – z) = 0
z = 1, x = y
Case-I
For x = y equations are convert into
y + yz = 2  y (1 + z) = 2 ..........(4)
z + y2 = 2  z = 2 – y2 ..........(5)
Put z in equation (4)
2
y(3 – y ) = 2
3
3y – y = 2
3
y – 3y + 2 = 0
2
(y – 1) (y + 2) = 0
so y = 1 or y = – 2
Case-II
For z = 1 equations are convert into
x + y = 2  x = (2 – y)
xy + 1 = 2
so (2 – y)y = 1
2
2y – y = 1
2
y – 2y + 1 = 0
2
(y – 1) = 0
so y = 1 and x = 1
so 2 solutions (1, 1, 1) and (– 2, – 2, – 2)

Q5: How many positive integers N give a remainder 8 when 2008 is divided by N.
(a) 12 (b) 13 (c) 14 (d) 15
Sol. (d)
2008 = 2000 + 8
2000 = 24 × 53
Number of factors of 2000 = 5 × 4 = 20
In which 1, 2, 4, 5, 8 are also include but N > 8
So , Total 20 – 5= 15 values are possible.
Q6: What is the product of all the roots of equation 5x 8 = x 2  16 ?

(a) – 64 (b) – 24 (c) 576 (d) 24
Sol. (a)
5 x  8  x 2  16
x2 – 16 > 0
(x + 4) (x – 4) > 0
x < –4 & x > 4
Now square on both sides.
2
5|x| + 8 = x – 16
2
x – 5|x| – 24 = 0
|x|2 –5|x| – 24 = 0
|x|2 – 8|x| + 3|x| – 24 = 0
|x| {|x| – 8} + 3{|x| – 8} = 0
{|x| – 8} +{|x| + 3} = 0
|x| = 8 & |x| = 3
x = ±8 x = ± 3
But x = ±3 is not possible so
x = + 8 ,–8,
Product of values is 8 ×(–8) = –64
Q7: LCM of two numbers is 5775. What of the following cannot be their HCF ?
(a) 175 (b) 231 (c) 385 (d) 455
Sol. (d)
 HCF is a factor of LCM
But 5775 is not divisible by 455

Q9: If the equation ( – 5 + 6) x + ( – 3 + 2)x + ( – 4) = 0 has more than two roots, then the value of 
is
(a) 2 (b) 3 (c) 1 (d) none of these
Sol. (a)
2 2 2 2
The equation ( – 5 + 6) x + ( – 3 + 2)x + ( – 4) = 0 has more than two roots then it means it is an
2 2 2
identity so  – 5 + 6 = 0,  – 3 + 2 = 0 and  – 4 = 0
 2 – 5 + 6 = 0
( – 3) ( – 2) = 0
 = 3, 2
and
2
 – 3 + 2 = 0
( – 2) ( – 1) = 0
 = 2, 1
and
2
 –4=0
( – 2) ( + 2) = 0
 = – 2, 2
So the value of  = 2
Q10: Mr. X with his eight children of different ages is on a family trip. His oldest child, who is 9 years old saw a
license plate with a 4-digit number in which each of two digits appear two times. "Look daddy!" she

Q29: The whooping cranes were on the verge of extinction with only 21 individuals in wild in1941.After
conservation measures, the cranes are now included in the endangered category by IUCN. The highlight
of the conservation efforts is the reintroduction of the whooping cranes in wild. This was possible due to
raising of the young cranes in absence of their parents by biologists dressed in crane costumes. Aircraft

Q35: In case of peppered moths, pale and dark moths are observed. Pale variety is known to be the wild type
variety. During industrial revolution, industrial melanism led to prevalence of dark variety around the cities
and pale variety continued to be in majority in areas away from the industries. After enforcement of
regulations for controlling pollution, reappearance of pale moths in majority was observed around cities
again. Driving force(s) for these adaptive changes is/are:
i. Increased pollution around industries
ii. A stable transposition of a gene in moths
iii. Limitations of the vision of birds to differentiate dark moths on darkened barks and pale moths in
presence of lichens
iv. Ability of lichens to grow on barks in less polluted areas only.

Q36: Any damage or injury to a particular area causes nociceptors to release some chemicals, which carry the
signal to the higher centres in the nervous system for the processing and a subsequent action. However,
there is a difference in the way in which the stimulus is received which is related to the acuity of the
detection. Fingertips are more sensitive as compared to the forearm. Following reasons for the observed
phenomenon were suggested.
i. The receptive fields in the fingertip are smaller
ii. The number of nociceptors per receptive field in the forearm is lesser
iii. The amount of prostaglandins released by the nociceptors per receptive field is more in fingertips
The most probable reason(s) for this may be:
