is

A 35

B 38

C 43

D 70
Answer: A

Explanation:

m x 2.5 m table is (nearest to a rupee)

A ₹ 3,383

B ₹ 4,583

C ₹ 4,853

D ₹ 4,835
Answer: B

Explanation:
Let cost of making a table = $$C=X+Y$$ -----------(i)
Now, $$X=k_1A$$, where $$A$$ is area of table
and $$Y=k_2l^2$$, where $$l$$ is length of longer side of table
In making 2 m x 3 m table it costs ₹ 5,000
=> $$C=(6k_1)+(9k_2)=5000$$ ------------(ii)
Similarly, $$6k_1+16k_2=6400$$ -------------(iii)
Subtracting equation (ii) from equation (iii), we get :=> $$7k_2=1400$$
=> $$k_2=\frac{1400}{7}=200$$
Similarly, $$k_1=\frac{3200}{6}$$
Now, for a table having dimension 2.5 m x 2.5 m
=> Cost = $$(6.25\times\frac{3200}{6})+(6.25\times200)$$

Explanation:
Principal amount for EMIs = Rs. (19,650 - 3,100) = Rs. 16,550
Rate of interest = 10% and number of EMIs = 3
Amount when compounded annually = $$P(1+\frac{r}{100})^T$$
Let each installment = Rs. $$x$$
=> $$\frac{x}{(1+\frac{10}{100})^1}+\frac{x}{(1+\frac{10}{100})^2}+\frac{x}{(1+\frac{10}{100})^3}=16550$$
=> $$x[(\frac{10}{11})+(\frac{100}{121})+(\frac{1000}{1331})]=16550$$
=> $$x[\frac{1210+1100+1000}{1331}]=16550$$
=> $$x=16550\times\frac{1331}{3310}$$
=> $$x=Rs.$$ $$6,655$$
=> Ans - (C)

D 78

Downloaded from cracku.in

 Answer: C

Explanation:
Dimensions of cube = 3 cm x 3 cm x 3 cm and dimensions of square hole = 1 cm x 1 cm
Outer surface area of 1 face = $$(3\times3)-(1\times1)=8$$ $$cm^2$$
=> Outer surface area of the cube (6 faces) = $$6\times8=48$$ $$cm^2$$
Inner surface area of three tunnels = $$3\times2[(2\times1)+(2\times1)]=24$$ $$cm^2$$
$$\therefore$$ Total surface area of solid = $$48+24=72$$ $$cm^2$$
=> Ans - (C)
148. If a 6 cm X 6 cm square is placed on a triangle, it can cover up to 60% of the triangle. If the triangle is
placed on the square it can cover up to $$\frac{2}{3}$$ of the square. The area 3 (in cm$$^2$$) of
the triangle is

A 24

B 36

C 40

D 60
Answer: C

Explanation:
The square will cover the same area of the triangle as much as covered by the triangle on square, and that
at this point the amount of triangle covered is the same as the amount of square covered.
Let area of triangle be $$A$$ and area of square = $$6\times6=36$$ $$cm^2$$
According to ques,
=> $$\frac{60}{100} A=\frac{2}{3}\times36$$
=> $$A=\frac{24}{0.6}=40$$ $$cm^2$$

 Answer: D

Explanation:

Radius of circle = OC = OB = 2 m and OA = 1 m

Area of path = $$2\times$$[Area of $$\triangle$$ OAB+Area of sector BOC] ----------(i)
In right $$\triangle$$ AOB,
=> $$(AB)^2=(OB)^2-(OA)^2$$
=> $$(AB)^2=4-1=3$$
=> $$(AB)=\sqrt3$$ m ------------(ii)
Also, $$tan(\angle AOB)=\frac{AB}{OA}=\sqrt3$$
=> $$\angle OAB=60^\circ$$
Thus, $$\angle BOC=90^\circ-60^\circ=30^\circ$$ --------------(iii)
Now, in equation (i), area of path = $$2\times[(\frac{1}{2}\times OA \times AB)+(\frac{30^\circ}
{360^\circ}\pi r^2)]$$
= $$2\times[(\frac{1}{2}\times1\times\sqrt3)+(\frac{1}{12}\times \pi (2)^2)]$$
= $$2\times[\frac{\sqrt3}{2}+\frac{\pi}{3}]$$
= $$\sqrt3+\frac{2\pi}{3}$$ -----------(iv)
$$\therefore$$ Area of plot = Area of shaded region = Area of circle - Area of path
= $$\pi(2)^2-(\sqrt3+\frac{2\pi}{3})$$
= $$4\pi-\sqrt3-\frac{2\pi}{3}$$
= $$\frac{10\pi}{3}-\sqrt3$$ $$m^2$$
=> Ans - (D)

Answer: A

Downloaded from cracku.in

Explanation:

It is given that $$a=8$$ cm and $$b=9$$ cm. Also, $$A_2=\frac{A_1+A_3}{2}$$ ------------(i)

To find : $$c=?$$
Solution : Area of a circle = $$\pi r^2$$
Using equation (i),
=> $$\pi (b)^2=\frac{\pi (a)^2+\pi(c)^2}{2}$$
=> $$a^2+c^2=2b^2$$
=> $$64+c^2=162$$
=> $$c^2=162-64=98$$
=> $$c=\sqrt{98}=7\sqrt2$$ cm
=> Ans - (A)

Downloaded from cracku.in

 greatest wheny y is
B increased

greatest when z is
C
increased

D the same regardless of which dimension is increased.

Answer: A

Explanation:
Let the dimensions of rectangular box be $$3,4,5$$ units
=> Volume = $$V=3\times4\times5=60$$ cu units
Case 1 : New length = $$4$$ units and breadth and height remains same
=> $$V'=4\times4\times5=80$$ cu units
Case 2 : New breadth = $$5$$ units and length and height remains same
=> $$V'=3\times5\times5=75$$ cu units
Case 3 : New height = $$6$$ units length and breadth remains same
=> $$V'=3\times4\times6=72$$ cu units
Clearly, increase in volume is greatest when $$x$$ is increased.
=> Ans - (A)

marks is

A 11:133

B 133:11

C 157:22

D 285 : 179
Answer: B

Explanation:
The number of students scoring more than 60% marks in school A = $$\frac{55}{100}\times800=440$$
Thus, students scoring exactly 60% marks in school A = $$800-440-320=40$$
Similarly, for other schools :

Total number of students scoring less than 60% marks = 320+220+300+280+210 = 1330
Total number of students scoring exactly 60% marks = 40+20+35+15 = 110
$$\therefore$$ Required ratio = $$\frac{1330}{110}=133:11$$
