So, x + y + z = 7, 16 or 25 -----(3)
When x + y + z = 7
So, from equation (1) and (3), we get
x + z = 19/2 which is not possible
From equation (2) and (3), we get
x+z=4
y=3
For divisibility of 4, the last two digits of a number

749xyz is divisible by 4 when yz = 32, 36
For z = 2, x = 2 which is not possible as x ≠ z.
For z = 6, x = -2 which is not possible
When x + y + z = 25
Here, AE/AB = AF/AC So, from equation (1) and (2), we get
Then, 5/9 = AF/72 x + z = 37/2 which is also not possible
AF = 40 cm From equation (2) and (3), we get
Now, FC = AC - AF = 72 - 40 = 32 cm x + z = 13
Here, ∠FCG = ∠FGC, so, FC = FG y = 12, which is not possible
Therefore, FG = 32 cm When x + y + z = 16

Hence, number is 749628 M.P of first article = 4k(1 + 25/100) = Rs 5k


From equation (2) and (3), we get M.P of second article = 5k(1 + 20/100) = Rs 6k
x+z = 17/2, which is not possible. S.P of first article = 5k×(1 - 10/100) = Rs 9k/2
So, {3x – (4y + 5z)/2x} = {3 × 6 – (4 × 2 + 5 × 8)/(2 × S.P of second article = 6k× (1 - 5/100) = Rs 57k/10
6)} = 14 Required ratio = (9k/2) : (57k/10) = 45:57 = 15:19
63. (d) Let height of trapezium = h cm 70. (c) Joining BD,
Longer parallel side = (h + 12) cm
Shorter parallel side = (h - 4) cm
Now, area = (1/2) × (sum of parallel side) × height
896 = (1/2) × (h + 12 + h - 4) × h
h2 + 4h - 896 = 0
(h + 32)(h - 28) = 0
h = -32, 28 (but height cannot be negative)
So, height = 28 cm
64. (c) C.P of the mixed Rice = (60×3 + 35×2)/5 = Rs 50/kg
For a %profit of 15.2%,
S.P = 50× (115.2/100) = Rs 57.6
Since, %mark-up is 28%
M.P = 50(1 + 28/100) = Rs 64/kg
%discount = ((M.P - S.P)/M.P) ×100% = ((64 - ∠ADB = (1/2)*∠AOB = 26°
57.6)/64) ×100% = 10% Since, AD is parallel to BC
65. (b) R and S started a business by investing Rs. 1600 and ∠DBC = ∠ODB = ∠ADB = 26° [Alternate angles]
Rs. 2480 respectively. ∠DEC = ∠DBC = 26° [Angles in same segment]
Let S leave the business after 'm' months. ∠AFE = ∠DFC = 64° [Vertically opposite angles]
So, ratio of the shares of profits = (1600 × ∠DEA = 90° [Angle in a semicircle]
12):(2480 × m) = 240:31m ∠AEF = 90 − ∠DEF = 90 - 26 = 64°
Hence, 240:31m = 48:31 ∠FAE = 180 – 2×64 = 52°
m=5 71. (d) (r + 1)th term of (a + b)n = Tr + 1 = nCr an - r br
So, S left the business after 5 months. (r + 1)th term of (2x + 3y)4 = Tr + 1 = 4Cr(2x)4 - r(3y)r

= (9 + 17/12) - [12 × (-3 + 5/8)] + 12 = 6 × 4x2 × 9y2 = 216x2y2
= (9 + 1 5/12) + (19×3)/2 + 12 Required answer = 216 ÷ 16

= 50 11/12 'a' km/hr and 'b' km/hr respectively and stream is
67. (a) For the frustum of a cone: flowing with speed 's' km/hr.
Lateral surface area = π × (R + r) × l Upstream speed of boat A = a - s
462√5 = (22/7) × (14 + 7) × l Upstream speed of boat B = b - s
l = 7√5 Downstream speed of boat A = a + s
Now, l2 = (R - r)2 + h2 Downstream speed of boat B = b + s
(7√5)2 = (14 - 7)2 + h2 a + s = 80% of (b + s)
s = 4b - 5a
h = 14 cm
And, (a - s): (b - s) = 9: 13
Therefore, volume = (1/3) × πh × (R2 + rR + r2)
= (1/3) × (22/7) × 14 × (142 + 7 × 14 + 72) s = (13a - 9b)/4
= 5031 cm3 (approx.) 4b - 5a = (13a - 9b)/4
68. (b) We know, (a3 + b3) = (a + b)(a2- ab + b2) a = 25b/33
Percentage = 25 x 100/33 = 76% (approx.)
Then, on comparing the formula, we get A = (√16)3
73. (b) Length ∶ width = 4 ∶ 13
= 64
⇒ l/w = 4/13
And, B = √16 = 4 ⇒ l = 4w/13
C = 12 For the value of area,
Therefore, B(A - C) = 4(64 - 12) = 208 ⇒ Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l + w)
69. (b) Let the C.P of the articles be Rs 4k and Rs 5k ⇒ 68 = 2[(4w/13) + w]
respectively. ⇒ 34 = 17w/13

⇒ (34 × 13)/17 = w 6) The number of persons sitting between A and P is


⇒ w = 26 cm the same as the number of persons sitting between
Now, l = 4w/13 = (4 × 26)/13 = 8 cm M and Q.
Area of rectangle = w × l = 26 × 8 = 208 cm2 7) P is not a neighbour of Q.
Value of length and width increase by 50%, So, our final arrangement is,
Increased value of length = 1.5 × 8 = 12 cm
Increased value of width = 1.5 × 26 = 39 cm
New area formed = 12 × 39 = 468 cm2
∴ Difference in the area = 468 – 208 = 260 cm2

As 15 and 91 have no common factor other than 1,
they are relative primes.
(v) 123 = 3 × 41
164 = 4 × 41
As 41 is a common factor of 123 and 164, 123 and
164 cannot be relatively primes.

(x) Y (z a) b c D (e) F (g h) i
84. (c) The statement "no person is shorter as well as younger than any one of the individual person" implies that the order of the
persons from the tallest to the shortest is same as the order of the persons from the youngest to the oldest.
Hence, Q is the third oldest as well as the third tallest. R is the second oldest as well as the second shortest.
It is given that P is taller than R. Hence, P is either the oldest or the second oldest. If P is the oldest, then he/she should be
the youngest. But this is not possible as it is given that T is younger than P.
Thus, P is the second oldest as well as the second youngest. T is the oldest as well as the youngest.
The final arrangement is as follows.

S is the oldest person. Choice (C)
85. (c) The statement "no person is shorter as well as younger than any one of the individual person" implies that the order of the
persons from the tallest to the shortest is same as the order of the persons from the youngest to the oldest.
Hence, Q is the third oldest as well as the third tallest. R is the second oldest as well as the second shortest.
It is given that P is taller than R. Hence, P is either the oldest or the second oldest. If P is the oldest, then he/she should be
the youngest. But this is not possible as it is given that T is younger than P.
Thus, P is the second oldest as well as the second youngest. T is the oldest as well as the youngest.
The final arrangement is as follows.
Order Height (tallest to shortest) Age (oldest to Youngest)
1 T S
2 P R
3 Q Q

5 S T
Three persons are shorter than P.
86. (b) The statement "no person is shorter as well as younger than any one of the individual person" implies that the order of the
persons from the tallest to the shortest is same as the order of the persons from the youngest to the oldest.
Hence, Q is the third oldest as well as the third tallest. R is the second oldest as well as the second shortest.
It is given that P is taller than R. Hence, P is either the oldest or the second oldest. If P is the oldest, then he/she should be
the youngest. But this is not possible as it is given that T is younger than P.
Thus, P is the second oldest as well as the second youngest. T is the oldest as well as the youngest.
The final arrangement is as follows.
Order Height (tallest to shortest) Age (oldest to Youngest)
1 T S
2 P R
3 Q Q

= (18+14): (11+23) = 32: 34 = 16:17 (ans) Total loss = 75/2(2*450+74*6)*40 = 684000
113. (a) English Department: Total profit must be greater than 684000
→ Appeared = (27/100) * 5484 = 1481 n/2(2*1+(n1)*4)*30 >684000
→ Cleared = (88/360)* 847=207 For n =108 above equation satisfies
→ Difference = (1485-207) = 1274 116. (c) (1+(n-1)*4)*30> (450+(n-1)*-6)*40
Maths Department: n>50.91
→ Appeared = (18/100) * 5484 = 987 n=51
→ Cleared = (60/360)* 847=141 117. (b) Day 23: Articles A sold : 89 then profit = 89*30 =2670
→ Difference = (987-141) = 846 Articles B sold: 318 loss = 318*40 = 12720
Physics Department: 118. (d) Difference in 2017 = 450 - 350 = 1008
→ Appeared = (14/100) * 5484 = 768 Difference in 2018 = 400 - 300 = 100
→ Cleared = (42/360)* 847=99 Difference in 2019 = 450 - 450 = 0
→ Difference = (768-99) = 669 Difference in 2020 = 450 - 300 = 150
Chemistry Department: Difference in 2021 = 500 - 350 = 150
→ Appeared = (11/100) * 5484 = 603 The difference was maximum in 2020 and 2021.
→ Cleared = (31/360)* 847= 73 Hence, option 4.
→ Difference = (603-73) = 530 (ans) 119. (d) Average per share value of PQR over the years = (500+
Commerce Department: 450 +500 +350 + 450)/5 = 450
→ Appeared = (23/100) * 5484 = 1261 Required percentage = (450 x 100)/400 - 100 = 12.5%
→ Cleared = (72/360)* 847= 169 Hence, option 4.
→ Difference = (1261-169) = 1092 120. (b) Average per share value of ABC in 2018, 2019 and 2020
Other Departments: = (300 + 450 + 450)/3 = 400
→ Appeared = (7/100) * 5484 = 384 Average per share value of PQR in 2017, 2018 and
→ Cleared = (67/360)* 847= 158 2019 = (500+ 450 + 500)/3 = 483.33
→ Difference = (384-158) =226 ∴ required difference = 483.33 - 400 = 83.33
114. (b) → No. of students not cleared= (5484 -847) = 4637 Hence, option 2.
