Detailed Solutions

1. x = 0.0abab .... (1)


10x = 0.abab .... (2)
1000x = ab.abab .... (3)
(3) - (2) ⇒ 990x = ab

ab 2
⇒x= = ⇒ ab = 36
990 55
⇒ a = 3, b = 6 ∴ a × b = 3 × 6 = 18. Ans.(2)
2. HCF of 60, 156 and 204 is 12.
(60 = 4 × 3 × 5; 156 = 4 × 3 × 13 and 204 = 4 × 3 × 17)
∴ Each kid gets 12 marbles 5 get red, 13 get blue and 17 get green.
∴ Total number of kids = 5 + 13 + 17 = 35. Ans.(3)
3. P = Rs.1000
A = Rs.2015
Time = 6 years
When the interest is compounded half yearly, the time is 12 half years.
Let the half yearly rate of interest be r%. Then

FG
A = P 1+
r IJ n
∴ 2015 = 1000 1 +
FG r IJ 12

H 100 K H 100 K
∴
FG1 + r IJ 12
=
2015
= 2.015
H 100K 1000

∴
FG1 + r IJ = (2.015) 1
12 = 1.06012
H 100K
r
∴ = 1.06012 – 1 = 0.06012
100
∴ r = 0.06012 × 100 = 6.012
∴ Rate of interest/annum
= 2r% = 2 × 6.012% = 12.024%.
Hence, the required rate of interest is 12% p.a.. Ans.(3)
4. Number of ways in which boys can be selected = 2 5. This also includes the null set and all the
elements present.
∴ Number of ways in which boys can be selected
= 2 5 – 1 – 1 = 25 – 2
Similarly, that for girls 2 8 – 2 and that for teachers = 2 3 – 2.
∴ Required number = (2 5 – 2) (2 8 – 2) (2 3 – 2)
= 2 3(2 4 – 1) (2 7 – 1) (2 2 – 1) = 45720. Ans.(4)
5. X × Z = Y2 ..... from (i)
Y × Z = X ..... from (ii)
2Z + Y = X ..... from (iii)
Put (ii) in (i), Y × Z × Z = Y 2
∴ Y = Z2
From (ii), X = Z 2 × Z = Z 3
From (iii), 2Z + Z 2 = Z3
Therefore, Z = 2, X = 8 and Y = 4

2 + 8 + 4 14
Therefore, the algebraic mean = = . Ans.(1)
3 3
6. In a 800 m race, when A completes the race, C will be 30 m behind and B will be 40 m behind.
∴ When C completes 800 – 30 = 770 m, B completes 800 – 40 = 760 m.

76 × 400 30400 62
∴ x= = m = 394 m
77 77 77

62 15
C beats B by 400 – 394 =5 . Ans.(3)
77 77
7. We know that (x – y) n
= (x – y)(x n–1 + xn–2.y + .... + y n–1)
We know that
2196 = 2197 – 1 = (13) 3 – 1.
Hence, (2196) n = [(13)3 – 1] 2196 which is completely divisible by 13 3 – 1.
Hence, when divided by 13 3, gives a remainder 1 or when divided by 13, gives a remainder 1.

33 44 − 33 55 − 44 33 + 11n − 33 + 11(n − 1)
= + + + ......+ ....
11 11 11 11
(multiplying and dividing by the conjugates of the denominator).

33 + 11n
Therefore, = 1 ⇒ n = 8. Ans.(3)
11
10. The least square number which is exactly divisible by the three numbers should be divisible by the
LCM of the three numbers.
45 = 3 × 3 × 5; 75 = 3 × 5 × 5; 108 = 3 × 3 × 3 × 2 × 2
∴ LCM = 3 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 5 × 2 × 2
∴ To make it a perfect square it must be multiplied by 3.
∴ The required number is 2700 × 3 = 8100. Ans.(1)
