Q43. The value of 1 + (11/10) + (11/100) + (111/1000) + (111/10000) is
1.       3.3221
2.      2.3321
3.      2.245
4.      2.432

Answer:
1 + 1.1 + 0.11 + 0.111 + 0.0111

= 2.3321

Q44. The mean of range, mode and median of the data

4,3,2,2,7,2,2,0,3,4,4 is
1.       4
2.      5
3.      2
4.      3

Solution:
Mean = sum of all number/(number of number)

The range of the above number is (largest number – smallest number) = 7-0 = 7
The mode of the above series is 2 (mode is the number that is repeated the most )

And the median is the number that lies exactly in the middle for a series with odd number of elements when arranged in increasing order.
0,2,2,2,2,3,3,4,4,4,7
 (11 numbers in all. the  number lying in the 6th place is the median  )

Here the number is 3
Therefore the mean of range, mode and median is = (7+3+2)/3 = 12/3 = 4

Q45. The sum of all interior angles of a regular convex polygon is 1080. The measure of each of its interior angles is
1.       108
2.      72
3.      120
4.      135

Solution:

The sum of all angles of a regular convex polygon = (n-2)180
 (where n is the number of sides of a regular hexagon)
1080 = (n-2)180
(n-2) = 1080/180
(n-2) = 6
ð  n=  8

Hence, the polygon is regular octagon and the measure of each angle is 1080/8 = 135

Q46. In a quadrilateral ABCD, < D = = 60 and <C= 100. The bisectors of angle A and D meet at point P. the measure of angle < APB is
1.       80
2.      100
3.      60
4.      70

Solution:
Angle A is opposite to Angle C. Since angle C is 100 then angle A would be 80

Bisector of angle A and D meets at P. Then the points A,P and D forms a triangle. Thus the angle
angle  APB would be equal to

<APB = 180 – 60 – 40 = 80

Q47.    In ∆ DEF and ∆ PQR, PQ = DE, EF = PR and FD = QR then
1.       ∆ DEF             ∆ RPQ
2.      ∆ DEF             ∆ QRP
3.      ∆ DEF             ∆ PQR
4.      ∆ DEF             ∆ QPR

Solution:

Given that,
PQ = DE and EF = PR and FD = QR
Only option  4 could satisfy this condition.

Q48. The perimeter of trapezium is 104 cm, the length of its non-parallel sides is 18 cm and 22 cm and its altitude is 16 cm. the area (in cm2) of the trapezium
1.       1024
2.      512
3.      320
4.      640

Solution:
Perimeter of trapezium = length of all 4 sides
104= sum of two lengths of parallel sides + sum lengths of non-parallel sides
104= sum of two lengths of parallel sides + 18 + 12
104= sum of two lengths of parallel sides + 40
ð  sum of two lengths of parallel sides = 104 -40 = 64

Now, the area of trapezium = (1/2)( sum of two lengths of parallel sides) x altitude
                                                = (1/2)(64)(16) = 512  

Q49. If each edge of a solid cube is increased by 150 %, the percentage increase in the surface area is
1.       525
2.      625
3.      150
4.      225

Solution:
Surface area of cube = 6 x L x L

If the edge is increased by 150% then the new edge = 1L + 1.5 L = 2.5L
Therefore, the surface area = 6 x 2.5L x 2.5L =
Therefore, the % increase would be     {(37.5 - 6)/6} x 100 ={ 31.5/6}x100  =  5.25 x 100 = 525

Q50. The radii of the bases of two cylinders are in the ratio of 2:3 and their heights are in the ratio of 5:3 . The ratio of their volumes is
1.       7:6
2.      4:9
3.      20:27
4.      10:9

Solution:
Let the radii be 2x and 3x and the heights would be 5h and 3h.

Then the ratio of volumes would be    (2x) 2 (5h) / (3x) 2 (3h) = 4 x 5 / 9 x 3 = 20/27

Q51. One of the factors of

       4x2 + y2 + 14x – 7y -4xy + 12 is
1.       2x + y + 4
2.      2x + y - 4
3.      2x - y + 3
4.      2x - y - 4

Q52. What should be subtracted from (-5/7) to get (-2/3)?
1.       29/21
2.      -29/21
3.      1/21
4.      -1/21

Solution:
Subtract (-2/3) from (-5/7)

ð   (-5/7)  -(-2/3)

ð  2/3 - 5/7

ð  (14 - 15)/21

ð  -1/21

Q53. In standard form, 0.00001278 is expressed as k x 10n. The value of (k + n)
1.       3.278
2.      -3.722
3.      4.722
4.      -3.278

Solution:
K would be 1.278 and then n would be -5

And k + n would be -5 + 1.278 = -3.722

Q54. The least number which must be added to 893304 to obtain a perfect square is
1.       1521
2.      1612
3.      945
4.      1042

Q55. The value of 3√ -91125 - 3√512 is
1.       -53
2.      73
3.      -37
4.      42

Solution:

We know that cubic root of 512 is 8

And the cube root of -991125 is -45

Thus 3√ -91125 - 3√512  = -45 – 8 = -53

Q56. The values of y for which the four digit number 51y3 is divisible by
1.       2 or 3
2.      0 or 3
3.      3 or 9
4.      0 or 9

Solution:

Use the rules of divisibility to check for the right answer.

Q57. In the product (x2 - 2) (1-3x+2x2) the sum of coefficients of x 2 and x is
1.       5
2.      6
3.      2
4.      3

Solution:

(x2 - 2) (1-3x+2x2) = x 2 – 3x3  + 2x4   -2 + 6x - 4x2  =   2x4  – 3x3 - 3x2 +4
It is clear that the coefficient of x is 6 and the coefficient of x 2 is -3 and their sum is 3.

Q58. The scale of a map is 1:3x10 6 . Two cities are 9 cm apart on the map. The actual distance (in km) between the cities is

1.       180
2.      360
3.      135
4.      270

Answer:
9 cm translates to 9 x 3 x106 = 27 x 106 cm = 27 x 104 m = 270 kilometer

Q59. The value of a machine which was purchased two years ago, depreciates at 12 % per annum. If it’s present value is 9680 for how much was it purchased?
1.       12142.50
2.      12500
3.      10200
4.      11350.50

Answer:
Let the initial price was x. Then the price after first year is x (1-0.12) =
And after the end of second year = 0.88x (1-0.12) = 0.88 x 0.88 x = 0.7744x
But it is given that the value at the end of second year = 0.7744 x = 9680

ð  X = 12500
