PREFACE : “I am a

Mathematics enthusiast. After completing my Engineering in Electronics and

Telecommunications , I started teaching Maths. The love for maths was so much that I
started appearing for competitive examinations which had Maths or Quantitative Aptitude
just a part of it. Exams like AFCAT, LIC ADO ( Mumbai Topper) , Bank PO,
Management Trainee , etc were cleared by me , mostly because i was exceptionally well at
Quant.

Having said that, and years of experience made me write a fun book for all the math
lovers and Students preparing for competitive exams”.

SOLUTIONS :

1] By Wilson's theorem,

29! Mod 31 = 1 Mod 31

28×29×27! Mod 31 = 1 Mod 31

(-3)×(-2)×27! Mod 31 = 1 Mod 31

Multiplying by -5 on both sides,

-30×27! Mod 31 = -5 Mod 31

27! Mod 31 = 26 Mod 31

Hence Remainder = 26.

2] 60 = 2²×3×5 ,

Total factors of 60 = 3×2×2 = 12

Product of all factors = 60^(Total factors ÷2) = 60^6

3] 72 = 2³×3² ,

Finding the highest power of 72 in 72! , We find the powers of 2³ and 3² .

Thus,

Power of 2³ = ([72/2]+[72/4]+....[72/64])/3 = 69/3 = 23

Power of 3² = ([72/3]+[72/9]+[72/27])/2 = 34/2 = 17.

Hence, highest power of 72 in 72! = 17.

4] Let the total number of Stones be x then :

To Security Guard one the thief gives :

= x/2 + 2
Remaining : x - x/2 - 2= x/2 - 2
To Security Guard two the thief gives :

1/2(x/2 - 2) = x/4 - 1 + 2 = x/4 + 1

Remaining : x/2 - 2 - x/4 - 1 = x/4 - 3
To Security Guard 3:

= 1/2(x/4 - 3) + 2 = x/8 - 1.5 + 2 = x/8 + 0.5

Remaining : x/4 - 3 - x/8 - 0.5 = x/8 - 3.5

x/8 - 3.5 = 1

x/8 = 4.5

x = 4.5 × 8
x = 36
There were 36 Stones.

5] HCF(780, 840, 960) = 60

Thus total number of pieces
⇒
780/60 + 840/60+ 960/60
=13+14+16=43

Total number of person required =43×2= 86.

6] Remainder when 1000 is divided by 999 = 1 ,

Using this concept,

11568345876 Mod 999

= (11+568+345+876) Mod 999 = (1800) Mod 999 =

(1 + 800) Mod 999 =

801 Mod 999

Hence Remainder = 801.

7] Convert the dimensions into cm.

HCF ( 578 , 374) = 34 cm , is the length of each square tile.

Thus the total number of tiles required = (578×374)/(34×34) = 187.

8] X + Y + XY = 90 , add 1 on both sides, (X+1)(Y+1) = 91 , thus X+1 = 13 , X = 12 and Y+1
= 7, Y = 6,

the difference (X-Y) = 6.

9] When the sum of three integers is given, the max product should be for the values of

must be near 25/3 ~= 8. We see that (7,8,10) are three such values that satisfy.

{Also, recall A.M ≥G.M concept.

Here (A+B+C)/3 ≥ (ABC)⅓ , thus (ABC) ≤ 15625/27 ≤ 578.7 }

Hence ABC = 7×8×10 = 560.

10] In this equation , sum of the roots = 4 ,

Product of the roots = 1, thus all roots are equal to 1. Hence, this equation is nothing but
expansion of (X-1)⁴.

Hence a = 6 , b = 4 , thus a+b = 10.

11] Let a and b be two numbers.

Harmonic Mean, HM = 2ab/(a+b)

geometric Mean, GM = √(ab)

2ab(a+b) : √(ab) = 12:13

(a+b)/√(ab) = 13/6

√(a/b) +√(b/a) = 13/6

Let √(a/b) = x

x + 1/x = 13/6

6x² - 13x + 6 = 0

x = 2/3 or 3/2

a/b = x²

a/b = 4/9 or 9/4.

12] The last two digits of = 7²⁴³×(2³)²⁴³×2⁴³²×3⁴³²×13⁴³² =

43×(01)×2×24×76×24×41×81 = 43×52×41×81 = 56×01 = 56.

13] [AB + B² + (A+B)C] = 91 , [(A+B)(B+C)] = 13×7, thus, A+B = 13 and B+C = 7 ,

[A+2B+C] = 20 rs

14] The positive terms are (1+2+3….+33+34), while the negative terms are –(2+3+...+34)
and –(3+4+...35) , adding all we get [595–594–627] = –626

15] Consider 50 gm honey, Initial Cost = (100/3)×33 + (50/3)×24 = 1500 Paise.

Final Cost = (50/3)×33 + (100/3)×24 = 1350 Paise.

Total savings = 150 paise = 1.5 Rs.

16] Consider a Trade of 1000 gm for 1000 rs. Shopkeeper marks it up to 1600
rs. Now, he cheats 14.28% while buying, means he bought 8000/7 gms at
1000 rs.

Whereas he cheats 20% while selling, means he sells only 800 gms. So, the CP of
Shopkeeper = 700 rs.

Now, he offers two discounts, one 12.5% and other of 1/(1+15)×100 = 100/16%. Hence,
effective discount = [12.5+100/16–{12.5×100/16/100} = 575/32 %. Thus, Actual SP after
deducting discount on thr marked price of 1600 rs = 1312.5 Rs.

Profit = 1312.5–700 = 612.5 rs. Profit % = 612.5/700×100 = 87.5.

17] Let the speeds be A , B , C respectively. Thus, 1600/B = 1472/A and 100/B =
96/C, thus, 1536/C = 1472/A. One and half mile = 1.5×1600 = 2400. Doing this
Operation above, we get 2400/C = 2300/A. Thus, C will win by 100 m.

18] Euler's formula ,

[F + V = E+2 ] , [48+64 = E+2], thus E = 110.

19] Clearly the unit digit of [1*1! + 2*2! + 3*3! + 4*4! ] = 1+4+8+6 = 9. Remaining numbers
will have unit digit as Zero, hence final unit digit = 9+0 = 9. Hence, No zeros at the end.
20] Given, 25C + F = 25×700 , 50C + F = 50×600 , solving these equations, we get C =
500 and F = 5000. Final equation is [100C + F] , which would be 100×500+5000 =
55000.

Thus average cost = 55000÷100 = 550 rs.

21] Initially Ding starting at 5 a.m ,covers a distance of 40×6 = 240 Km till 11 a.m. Now,
Ching starts at 11 a.m to meet Ding who is already at a distance of 240Km. So, (80-40) =
240/time , time = 6 hrs. Which means Ching will meet Ding after 6 hrs from 11 a.m. i.e, 5
P.m. Ching and Ding are at 480 Km from start.

This is the same time when Ming will also meet them as given. Thus Ming has to cover a
distance of 480 Km at a speed of 50 Kmph in 480/50 = 9 hrs and 36 mins. Subtracting this
from 5 P.m we get that Ming must start at 7:24 A.m.

22] Time of first meet =

L.C.M { 12/(13-7) , 12/(13-3) } = L.C.M { 12/6 , 12/10} = 12/2 = 6 hrs.

23] Since the remainder is 7, the numbers must be factors of 2020. Factors of 2020 =
2²×5×101 , total factors = 3×2×2 = 12. Now, the numbers cannot be 1, 2, 4, 5 as the
remainder is 7. Thus, neglecting these factors from the total of 12 factors we get that there
are a total of ‘8’ factors which when divide 2027 will leave a Remainder 7.

24] Multiply the qiven equation by A , then by B , then by C. Afterwards, add all the three
equation and you'll get the required equation as equal to Zero.
25] Let there be 100 men, thus , 80 Men ≤ 50 yrs , 20 Men ≥ 50 yrs , 20
Men = Rugby, [ 4 Men ≥ 50 yrs play Rugby] , thus remaining
16 Men are ≤ 50 yrs. Thus, 16/20×100 = 85% .

26] Clearly, cost of 50 Oranges = cost of 40 mangoes. Let him have 200 rs, thus CP of
orange = 4 rs and CP of mango = 5 rs. He retains 20 rs with him. Out of remaining 180 rs
he buys 20 mangoes => 20×5 = 100 rs. Remaining 80 rs is used in buying 80/4 = 20 oranges.

27] T = C*(1+ Y/100)

= Y/100*(T+C) , Let Y/100 = K. Upon solving the above equations we get an

equation in terms of only 'K’ , [ (1/K – 1)(1+K) = 1] , we get K = (√5 –1)/2 = apprx 0.618,
Thus, Y = 61.8% .

28] Let there be ‘100B’ boys and ‘100G’ girls. Given, [100G+50B] = 1.5×50B , thus B=
4G.

Which means there are 100G girls out of 500G students. Which is 1/5th or 20%.

29] It is clear that Bruce makes a profit of 10Y, which is same as Clark's. Our job is to find
the profit of Clark and solve the equation to get Y. Thus, Clark marks up by 2Y% and
gives a discount of Y%, effective change = [2Y–Y–2Y²/100]% = Y(1– 2Y/100) %.
Thus, Clark's effective increase or profit is 20Y(1– 2Y/100) = 10Y.
We get the value of Y = 25%.

30] Imagine Scarlett had $900 of her own. Now, she buys at $700 ( still has $200 with her)
and sells at $800. Total amount she has now is = $1000. Again, she buys at $800 ( now has
$200 with her) and sells at $900. Thus, final amount she has = $1100. Initially she had $900
, now she has $1100 , Profit she made = $200.

31] A multiple of 7 will be Saturday itself. Let's see what Remainder 3³¹² yields when
divided by 7. R[3³¹²/7] = R[(3³)¹°⁴/7] = R[(–1)¹°⁴/7] = R[1/7] , which means Remainder is 1.
Hence after 3³¹² days it would be = Sunday.

32] For 4 years,

C.I–S.I =

P(R/100)²[2 + (R/100 + 2)²] ,

Plugging in the value of C.I–S.I = 22435 and R = 10%, we get P = 3,50,000 Rs.

33] Consider one person being born on each day. Total People born in 100 years = 36500.
Total leap years = 25 (1904,1908,....2000). Hence total percentage of people having birthday
on 29th feb = 25/365 = 0.068 % .
34] Consider Mr Rider has 100rs and purchases petrol at 1 re/lit. So he purchases 100 litres
initially. Now, 25% increment in petrol price means 100×25/(100+25)% = 20% decrement
in consumption. So he will get 80 lit of petrol in 100 rs(at 1.25re/lit).

But, he intends to spend 15% extra. So, in 115 rs he will get 92 litres of petrol. So his
consumption will fall down by 8%.

35] Let the total initial cost of the product be Rs 100.

manufacturing cost = Rs 60
Raw materials cost = Rs 40

Also, original selling price=Rs100+60/4

= Rs115
New raw material cost =Rs40+30% of 40=Rs52.

New manufacturing cost =Rs60+20% of 60=Rs72

New cost of the product = Rs124
New selling price =115+60% of 115 = Rs184

New profit percentage =60/124×100= 48.39%

36] CP for 'N’ goods = 20N. SP = 1.4×20N = 28N. Hence, [2+4+6+....N terms] = 28N ,
applying A.P Summation formula, N/2[4+(N–1)2] = 28N, thus N = 27 items.

37] Given that the diesel consumption is at the rate 1/400[(1000/Y) + Y] Cost of
diesel = Rs 35 per litre

Payment to the driver = Rs 125 per hour.

Also given that the truck is driven at the speed of Y km per hour.
Total cost (c)
=1/400[(1000/Y) + Y]×800×35+ 125×800/Y

Now differentiating both sides in the above equation with respect to Y.

dc/dY= −170,000/Y² + 70=0

⇒ Y = 49 km per hour. Apprx

38] A similar problem was solved above, using the same concept, A, B, C can take the
values 9, 10, 12 … hence maximum value of ABC = 1080.

39] Let the quadratic equation be f(x) = ax²+bx+c , differentiating w.r.t x, we get , f’(x) =
2ax+b = 0. Given that max value is 3 at x = 1. Substituting these values above we get –b/2a
= 1 , a+b+c = 3 and hence c–a = 3. Also, at X = 0 , f(0) = c = 1 , hence a = –2, and b = 4.

The required equation is [–2x²+4x+1] , thus f(10) = –159.

40] Let him have , X $1 bills and Y $10 bills. Thus,

[X + 10Y = XY] , ..( Y < 10), we see, that Y can take only three values 2 , 3 , 6. Thus X
would be , 10, 5 , 2. Total bills that he can have is 12 or 8 , so Two possibilities.

41] Let the amount be P.

After 1 year the amount becomes 1.1P out of which 4400 is repaid.
Interest for second year = 20% of (1.1P–4400)
(1.1P–4400)/5 = 11/7 (0.1P)
7.7P-30800 = 55(0.1P)
2.2P = 30800
P = 14000
Rs 14000 was lent initially.

42] The loan is taken for simple interest,

=> The interest for each of the four years is the same, which is equal to {20000×20×1}/{100}
= $4000.
Interest for four years = 4×4000 = $16000.
Total amount = 20000 + 16000 = $36000
=> Each equal installment = {36000}÷{4} = $9000.

43] Each stair is 1/2 foot high and the stair case is 10ft high, there must be 10÷(½) = 20
steps.

We already know the Beetle has to travel 10 ft. up. And in order to reach the top it only has
to go across nineteen 1ft. long stairs.

10 + 19 = 29 ft.

44] Let the savings be 2P. Clearly, He invested P, P respectively at C.I and S.I for 2 years.
S.I = 550 = P×2×R/100 , PR = 275. We know that for two years, C.I–S.I = PR²/100² , Thus ,
(605–550) = 275R/100, R= 20% . Substituting above we get P = 2750/2 , thus 2P = 2750 Rs.

45] One month equivalent Principal =

[500+400+300+200+100] = 1500.

S.I = 600–500 = 100 Rs. Thus, 100 = 1500×(1/12)×R/100 , thus, R = 80% .

46] 323 = 17×19.

[16! + 1] is divisible by 17 …. {Wilson's theorem} , therefore [16! +1 +85] is divisible by 17.

Similarly, [16! + 10] is divisible by 19 , which means [16!+10+76] is divisible by 19. Since it
is divisible by both the numbers, rhe Remainder when [16!+86] is divided by 323 is Zero.

47] Average Rupee collection = (Speed× capacity × Occupancy × Ticket rate)

Ratio of average Rupee collection of Truck to that of Van = product of above rates

⇒(3×50×1×1.5):(1×30×2×1)= 15:4

48] 5B = 7A ,

5A = 7B , Total Number of Stones = A+B+S

= A+ 7A/5 + 5A/7

= 109A/35. Since minimum number of stones is asked and every number is an integer ,
A must be = 35 atleast. Thus total minimum stones = 109.

49] Let Original cost = raw material + 2(wages)

Cost = 36, so material = 36/3 = 12

Hence wages = 24.

Now new raw material = 12*7/3 = 28

And new wages = 24*9/ 4= 54

Hence new cost = 28+54 = $82.

50] Let Chris have 3x chocolates of type A and 7x of type B

Let Drax have 5y chocolates of type B and 4y of type C
Let Morty have 3z chocolates of type C and 5z of type A

So in total A=3x+5z ; B=7x+5y ; C=4y+3z

Since C>B we get solving y<3z-7x —>(1)

Since B>A we get solving 5y>5z-4x —> (2)

What gets inferred from above 2 statements is z>=3. so when x=1,z=3, we get only y=1 as
choice, for which second condition doesnt satisfy.

So, when x=1,z=4, we get y<5 from first condition and when y > 3.2 from second condition.
so which gives choice the only y=4.

Hence x=1,y=4 and z=4 works and is the best possible answer.

For these values, we get A=23,B=27,C=28.

Minimum possible number of chocolates overall is 78.

51] 1/G = 3/C , [1/G+1/C] = 10 , on solving we get, C = 40 days.

52] Since a bucket holds 5 litres of water, Tap A discharges 20 litres of water in 24 minutes
or 5/6 litres of water in 1 minute.

Tap B discharges 40 litres in 1 hours or 2/3 litres in 1 minute.

Tap C discharges 10 litres in 20 minutes or 1/2 litres in 1 minute.

If A, B & C are all opened simultaneously, total discharge = (5/6 + 2/3 + 1/2) = 2 litres in 1
minute.

So in 2 hours after all taps are opened, the discharge would be 240 litres, which should be
the capacity of the tank.

53] Let X fill pipes and (n–X) drain pipes. Also,

[X/20 – (n–X)/30] = ⅕ ,

(3X–2(n–X)) = 12,

(5X–2n) = 12,

[ n = 2.5X –6 ], X can take even values and from options 'n’ can take 29 and 54 for X = 14

K=200/256

K=25/32 , Hence for 3 people, 12 hrs and 9 machines,

G = 25/32×3²×√9×12 = 253.125 units.

55] Let the total students be (n + 1)
Let total marbles be x
Let the average of ‘n’ students be y

The student who got 1/6th of x = 5y

Or y = x/30

Therefore ‘n’ students got 1/30th of total share each

Or n * x/30 + 1 * x/6 = x
nx + 5x = 30x
n + 5 = 30
Or n = 25
Total = n + 1 = 26.

56] Similar Volumes have been given, So let First tank contain 10 and 16 lit of Oil and
water. Second tank contain , 7 and 19 lit of oil and water. Mixing them together gives Oil =
10+7 = 17 and water = 16+19 = 35 , thus ratio = 17:35.

57] Let the number of floors be x and rooms per floor be y

So, xy = 500
After the change,
(x-5) * (y+5) = 450
xy – 5y + 5x – 25 = 450
500 – 5(y-x) – 25 = 450 (As, xy = 500)
5(y-x) = 25
y-x = 5 , on solving X = 20 and Y = 25.

58] LCM [ 12/(13-3) , 12/(13-7) ] = LCM [12/10 , 12/6 ] = 6hrs.

59] 1000/A = 900/B ,

3000/A = 2800/C , thus,

2700/B = 2800/C , Hence C will beat B by 100 m.

60] Total time = 38-1 = 37,

35 men do rest of the work in (37-25) = 12 days,
This work will be done by 30 men in = D = 35*12 / 30 = 14 days
=>Total time = 25 + 14 = 39
=>One more day would be required.

61] Taking log to this will give log(1/20)^37

this can be written as (log1-log20)^37

log 1=0

log 20 can be written as -(log 2+log 10)^37

log 10 = 1 log 2=0.3010

62] Let Milk be 100rs/litre and water = 20rs/litre. Let him mix 'M’ lit of milk and 'W’ lit of
water. Thus his cost is,

CP = [100M+20W].

While he wishes to sell this at price of milk i.e [100M + 100W] rs.

M.P = [125(M+W)] ,

discount = 20% = [25(M + W)] , S.P = 100(M+W) ,

Profit = S.P–C.P = 80W => which is 20% , thus

80W = 20M+4W,

Thus M:W = 19:5.

63] Amount of water getting in per hour = (2.25/5.5)*60 - 12

= 138/11 litres

It will take 69/(138/11) hours for ship to sink. = 5.5 hours.

Hence 77 kms needs to be covered in 5.5 hours, ie at 14 kmph.

Hence,

[6 + speed of ship] = 14

Speed of ship = 8 kmph.

64] Let them be named A, B, C. First condition says

[ 6/A + 6/B + 5/C = 1 ] , Second Condition says

[ 6/A + 5.5/C + 5/B = 1] , Third condition

[ 6/B + 16/3C + 5/A = 1] ........ Thus we get

A = 30 days, B = 20 days and C = 10 days. Required Answer = 15(5/6) days.

65] Number of meeting points on the track = Time taken to meet at starting point/Time
taken for first meeting = Relative speed / HCF (6,b).

So, in essence we have to find values for b such that

(6−Y)/HCF(6,b) = 2 or

(Y−6)/HCF(6,b) = 2

Y = 2, 10, 18 satisfy this equation. So, there are three different values that Y can take.

66] Let us assume Ashton travels at a speed of ‘a’ and Butcher travels at a speed of ‘b’.
Further, let us assume that they meet after t minutes.

Distance traveled by A before meeting B = a * t. Likewise distance traveled by B before

meeting A = b * t.

Distance traveled by A after meeting B = a * 54. Distance traveled by B after meeting car
A = 24 * b.

Distance traveled by A after crossing B = distance traveled by B before crossing A (and vice
versa).

=> at = 54b ---------- (1)

and bt = 24a -------- (2)

Multiplying equations 1 and 2

we have ab * t² = 54 * 24 * ab
=> t² = 54 * 24
=> t = 36

So, both would have traveled 36 minutes prior to crossing each other. Or, B would have
taken 36 + 24 = 60 minutes to travel the whole distance.

67] Let the distance between Home and office be D and the uniform speed during onward
journey be S.
While coming back, 2D/7 was covered with a speed of 2S/7
Remaining distance = 5D/7 and 3/5th of this is 3D/7 which is covered with a speed of 3S/7.
He finally reduces the speed to 3S/7 - 12S/42 = S/7 (as 66.67% is equivalent to 2/3rd) and
cover the remaining distance, 2D/7.

Average speed for the total journey = 14 kmph

2D/14 = D/S + (2D/7) * (7/2S) + (3D/7) * (7/3S) + (2D/7) * (7/S)
D/7 = D/S + D/S + D/S + 2D/S

Steps , on solving we get N = ⅔ and total steps = 46.

70] A and B run around a circular track. A laps B in the middle of the 5th lap. i.e. when A
has run four and a half laps he has covered a distance which is 1 lap greater than that
covered by B's.

Therefore, when A runs 9/2

laps, B runs 7/2 laps.

This is same as saying when A runs 9 laps, B runs 7 laps.

i.e in a race that is 9 laps long, A can give B a start of 2 laps.

So, if the race is of 3000 metres long, then A can give B a start of (2/9)×3000= 666.67
metres.

71] Since Maximum possible concentration has been asked, let's assume initially there's 1
litre of both the mixtures with 4/5 and 1 lit of Acids respectively ! Now, ⅘ th of first is
mixed with 1 lit of second.... Hence total Acid = (4/5)² + 1 = 41/16 lit out of a total of (1+4/5

, we write 5X ≥ 2 ,

X ≥ ⅖.

74] Select a person to complete task 2

Since task 2 must be assigned to either person 3 or person 4, we can complete stage 1 in 2
ways

Select a person to complete task 1

There are 5 people remaining who have not been assigned a task
However, task 1 cannot be assigned to person 1 or to person 2
So, there are only 3 people to choose from.
So we can complete stage 2 in 3 ways.

Now, we have 4 people and 4 tasks, so they can be arranged in 4! Ways. Total = 2×3×4! =
144 ways.

75] Assuming these two couples are one unit, there would be 8 persons to be arranged. So
total ways = 8! , but the two couples can be arranged in 2×2 ways among themselves, so
total number of ways = 8!×2×2.

76] To make a rectangle, we need 2 vertical and 2 horizontal lines. In a Chessboard there
are 9 vertical and 9 horizontal lines. Hence, total number of ways = 9c2 × 9c2.

77] P(at least one) = 1–P(none) , thus Answer = 1 – ¾ × ¾ × ¾ = 37/64.

78] {Leonard wins if he throws 8 in first chance}

OR

{Leonard wins if he doesn't throw 8 in first chance and Raj doesn't throw 7 in first chance
and Leonard throws 8 in second chance}

OR …… so on ….. thus Answer = 5/36 + 31/36×5/6×5/36 +...... = 5/36×{ 1/(1–155/216) }

= 30/61.

79] Given that event B has happened through one of many events in which A is included,
the Probability that B has happened through A = {Probability of B through A / Total
Probability of B happening }.

Here, Either Both are lying or both are telling the truth, hence the required probability =
1/13× 3/5×2/3/[1/13× 3/5×2/3 + 12/13× 2/5×1/3 ]

= ⅕.

80] ∆AFP and ∆ABD are similar. The ratio of their areas = 1/7 ….. { since length of a
trisector = √7/3 ×Side }. Now, by symmetry ∆PQR is also equilateral.

Assume A(∆AFP) = X unit² , we get A(∆ABC) = 21X , and A(∆PQR) = 3X , required ratio =
1/7.

81] Here's the trick,

First find the area under Segment BC = A(Sector ABC) – A(∆ABC). Now, add
4 times the Segment area and 2 times the equilateral Triangle Area to get the desired
Answer

= [ 98π/3 – 49√3/2 ] =

60.23 unit². (Apprx)

82] X² – 7² = 49² – 35² ,

X = 35cm.

83] We know A(∆ ABC) = ½AB×AC×sinA, using this concept , we write

∆APR/∆ABC = 9/35 = 63/245

∆BPQ/∆ABC = 10/35= 70/245

∆CQR/∆ABC = 8/49= 40/245 , let A(∆ABC) = 245 , thus A(∆PQR) = 245–[63+70+40] = 72

unit². Thus A(∆PQR)/A(∆ABC) = 72/245.

84] 1/√r = 1/√50 + 1/√128 , thus, r = 3200/169 = 18.93 units.

85] Using Extended ladder theorem,

1/∆ + 1/17 = 1/(13+17) + 1/(8+17) , ∆ = 2550/37 unit² and reqd area = 2550/37 – 38 = 30.91~
unit².

86] Required Area = ½{A(Square) – A( Circle ( Sum of two Semicircles)} = ½[100–25π] =

~10.73 unit².
87] Maximum possible area of a rectangle that can be inscribed in any triangle = ½Areaof
Triangle = 1/2×60 = 30 unit².

88] The largest cube that can be chiseled out from a cone of height ‘h’ and radius ‘r’ c.m.
then cube edge =

hr√2/(h+r√2) , here

X = 8×4√2/(8+4√2)

= 8√2/(2+√2) = 8(√2–1) cm. Thus Volume of Cube = X³ = 36.38 cm³.

89] Using Euler's formula,

d² = R² – 2Rr , now, Area of triangle = 84cm².

R = abc/4A = 65/8 = 8.125 cm.

r = ∆/s = 84/21 = 4 cm.

Thus d = 1.015625 cm.

90] Following graph will make it clear ,

We have to find the area of ABCD = Triangle + Rectangle = 0.5+2 = 2.5 unit².

91] So we have to find the area of a Semicircle, R = 5 units. Thus Area =

25π/2 unit².

92] Area of a triangle using Shoelace formula =

|½[-3(3-2) + -2(2-(-4)) + 4(-4-3)]| = |½[ -3-12-28]| = 21.5 unit².

93] Let side of the Hexagon be X cm. We see that, Height of tower at B = X/√3 and Height
of tower at D = 2X. Thus, ratio = 1/2√3.

94] The equation can be written as [8Cos(X) + 15Sin(X) + 15] = 17×Sin(X+A) + 15. Hence,
Max value = 17+15 = 32 and Min Value = 15–17 = –2.

95] Let the height of the lighthouse be √3 unit. Ship travels 2 unit in 20 mins and
remaining distance = 1 unit, thus it will take 10 mins to reach the lighthouse.

96] Tan(30°) = X/Base , thus Base = X√3 and Tan(60°) = 60/X√3 , thus X = 20 cm. Height
pf tower = 60–20 = 40cm. Base = 20√3 cm.

97] Since the coefficient of Secant is greater we cannot use A.M ≥ G.M concept. Thus, we
differentiate and always in such case Min value = 25+4 = 29.

98] The diagram below will make it clear,

99] Remainder when

[ 222³³³ + 333²²²] ÷ 7 can be found by Euler's remainder theorem.

222^6 Mod 7 = 1 , so 222³³³ Mod 7 = 1×222³ Mod 7 = 6. Similarly , 333²²² Mod 7 = 1 , thus [6
+ 1] Mod 7 = 0.

100] After looking at the diagram below , it becomes very easy to calculate the area,
A = 48 – ½[6+30+32] =

14 Unit².

101] X+Y = 110,

X = Y +100 , thus Y = 5 paise.

102] Given, Y = (X+Z)/2 , and

Y⁴ = (X²Z²) , Y² = XZ

{ X²/Y² = Y²/Z² = R} , X² = RY² , Z² = Y²/R.

4Y² = X²+2XZ+Z²

4Y² = RY² + 2Y² + Y²/R ,

4 = R + 2 + 1/R ,

R² – 2R + 1 = 0

Solving, for R , we get R = 1.

103] Angle at 3:10 A.M can be found out using |30H–5.5M| = |30×3–5.5×10| = 35°.

Now, the angle must be 70° for the first time after 3:10 A.M, so we calculate Using the same
formula,

|30×3–5.5M| = 70 ,

For ± value we get ,

M = 40/11 mins or M = 320/11 mins. We see that 320/11 is what satisfies and hence at 3:
(320/11) A.M the angle would be double.

104] Differentiating [X² + AX + (B+2) = 0] w.r.t X , we get

f’(X) = 2X+A = 0 , thus

X = –A/2.

Substituting it in given eqn we get, A²/4 –A²/2 + B+2 = 0 ,

A²/4 = B+2 , [A² = 4B+8].

Now, we have to Find the minimum value of A²+B² which is f(B) = B²+4B+8 , thus f’(B) =
2B+4 = 0 , means B = -2, so minimum value = 4-8+8 = 0.

105] Let the time be 'T’ hours after which the distance is minimum.

Car covers 10T km and Biker covers 5T km. Distance between them ( from point Y) by
Pythagorean theorem

= Sqrt[(60–10T)² + 5T²]
= Sqrt[3600–1200T+105T²]

Differentiating we get

210T –1200 = 0 ,

T = 40/7 hrs.

106] Last two digits can be found by dividing by 100 and obtaining the remainder.

39³⁴² Mod 100 by Euler's Remainder Theorem.

Totient function of 100 = 100×(1–1/2)(1–1/5) = 40.

Thus 39³⁴² Mod 100

= 39²² Mod 100

So we need to find the last two digits of 39²² = 21¹¹ = 21.

107] Total area of the two pieces = 25% more than the by square.
Area of 2 pieces = 1.25 × 4π² = 5πr²
Extra area = πr²
Extra area = area of two new circles that are now created circles.
Area each new circle = πr²/2

Radius of new circle = r/√2 ,

Thus height can be found out by Pythagoras theorem

h = r/√2.

108] 36N = 30(N+5) , N = 25 and distance = 36×25 = 900 ft.

109] Observe the figure below,

Basically we need to find the circumradius of ∆ABC ,

We have Area ABC = ½×12×16 = 96 cm².

Sides AB and BC xan be found out using Pythagoras theorem. AB = 8√5 and BC = 4√17.

R = abc/4A ,

= 8√5×4√17×12/4×96
 = √87 cm.

110] We are given with

LB = 15, BH = 6 , LH = 10,

Thus (LBH)² = 900

Volume = LBH = 30 cm³.

111] Observe the diagram below,

We have to apply Similarity in the given set of triangles.

We get Radius of Quarter Circle = 840/103 cm ,

Radius of Semicircle

= 1.21 cm~
And finally radius of small Circle = 0.3 cm.
