 Quantitative Aptitude

S51. Ans.(c)
Sol. (x + y + z)² = 192
x² + y² + z² + 2zx + 2yx + 2yz = 361
ATQ; 133 + 2y² + 2yx + 2yz = 361
2y(x + y + z) = 228
228
2y = 19
2y = 12
y=6
x + y + z = 19
x + z = 13
xz = 36
(x + z)² = 13²
x² + z² + 2xz = 169
x² + z² + 2xz – 4xz = 169 – 4xz
x² + z² – 2xz = 169 – 4 × 36
(z – x)² = 169 – 144
z–x=5

S52. Ans.(b)
Sol. Let the speed be S
384 384
ATQ; 𝑆−16 − =2
𝑆
𝑆−𝑆+16
384( 𝑆2 −16𝑆 ) = 2
384 × 16 = 2 (S² – 16S)
384 × 8 = S² – 16S
S² – 16S – 384 × 8 = 0
S² – 64S + 48S – 48 × 64 = 0
S(S – 64) + 48 (S – 64) = 0
S = 64 km/hr

S57. Ans.(a)
Sol. TSA of bigger cube = 6 × 12 × 12
On dividing it into 4 parts side length of the cube = 6cm
Surface area = 6 × 6 × 6
Surface area of 3 cubes = 3 × 6 × 6 × 6
Ratio = 3 × 6 × 6 × 6 : 6 × 6 × 6 × 2 × 2
3:4

S58. Ans. (b)

Sol. 9 + 8 +5 + x + 3 + 6 + 7 + 8 + y = 48+x+y
For division by 9 → 46+x+y = 1+x+y should be divided by 9
and 78y should be divisible by 8.
y=4;
1+x+y=9;
x+y =8
x=4; y=4
Now, 4× 4 − 3 × 4 = 4
