7. (B) The value of roman numerals are as
1. (D) P + Q = 105 follows
P – Q = 45 I =1
So, 2P = 105 + 45 = 150
V=5
⇒ P = 75
X = 10
Then, Q = P – 45 = 75 – 45 = 30
L = 50
∴ P : Q = 75 : 30 = 5 : 2
C = 100

2. (B) 17.28 ÷ 12 17.28 × 12 D = 500

9. (B) Let the two digit number of 10x + y
3 × 14
6×7 Reversing the digit, number become
The factors of 42, that are multiples of 7 are 10y + x.
7, 14, 21 and 42. Sum = 10 x + y + 10y + x
Their sum = 7 + 14 + 21 + 42 = 84 ⇒ 11x + 11y = 110
5. (B) ⇒ x + y = 10 ... (1)
x – y = 4 (Given) ... (2)
From equ. (1) & (2)
∴ 5 units = 70o
2x = 14 ⇒ x = 7
70°
Thus, 1 unit = = 14o ∴Y=3
5 Hence the number is 73
∠x = 3 units = 3 × 14o = 42o 10. (A) We have the simplest form as

2 Fraction of shaded part =
15 5
Now, (A + C) + B = 30 yr. ∴ Number of unshaded parts to be added = 2
18 + B = 30 ⇒ B = 30 – 18 = 12 yrs.
19. (C) Weight of + = 4 kg 800 g

100 = 18 – 12 + 4
17. (B) LCM (2, 5, 6) = 5 × 6 = 30 [12 ÷ 3 = 4, 6 × 2 =12]
Smallest value of X = 30 = 6 + 4 = 10
LCM (4,8) = 8 25. (D) Area of square = 64 cm2
[as 4 = 2 × 2 and 8 = 2 × 2 × 2, side = 64 cm = 8 cm
so LCM (4, 8) = 2 × 2 × 2 = 8]
∴ perimeter = 4 x 8 cm
Smallest value of Y = 8 = 32 cm
