6. Solution (3) 9. Solution (1)

-We will solve both the equations separately. - Solution
Equation I: 3x2 - 7x + 2 = 0
x2 – 9x + 20 = 0 ⇒ 3x2- 6x - x + 2 = 0
⇒ x2 – 5x – 4x + 20 = 0 ⇒ 3x (x - 2) - 1 (x - 2) = 0
⇒ (x – 5) (x – 4) = 0 ⇒ (3x - 1) (x - 2) = 0
⇒ x = 5 or x = 4 ⇒ 3x - 1 = 0
Equation II: ⇒ 3x = 1
y2 – 13y + 42 = 0 ⇒ x = 1/3
⇒ y2 – 7y – 6y + 42 = 0 or,
⇒ (y – 7) (y – 6) = 0 x-2=0
⇒ y = 7 or y = 6 ⇒x=2
Comparing the values of x and y we get, Equation 2:
x<y 2y2- 11y + 15 = 0
⇒ 2y2 - 6y - 5y +15 = 0
7. Solution (2) ⇒ 2y (y - 3) - 5 (y - 3) = 0
-y2 – 5y + 6 = 0 ⇒ (2y - 5) (y - 3) = 0
⇒ y2 – 3y – 2y + 6 = 0 ⇒ (2y - 5) = 0
⇒ y(y – 3) – 2(y – 3) = 0 ⇒ y = 5/2
⇒ (y – 2)(y – 3) = 0 Also (y - 3) = 0
⇒ y = 2 or y = 3 ⇒y=3
Also, Now comparing x and y:
2x2 + 3x – 5 = 0 x = 1/3 is smaller than 5/2 and 3
⇒ 2x2 + 5x – 2x – 5 = 0 x= 2 is smaller than 3 and 5/2
Thus we see that x is smaller than y
⇒ x(2x + 5) – 1(2x + 5) = 0
⇒ (x – 1)(2x + 5) = 0
10. Solution (4)
⇒ x = 1 or x = -5/2
- Solution
Hence we have x < y
I. x2 – 19x + 84 = 0
⇒ x2 – 12x – 7x + 84 = 0
8. Solution (4)
⇒ x (x – 12) – 7 (x – 12) = 0
- Solution ⇒ (x – 12) (x – 7) = 0
10x2 – 7x + 1 = 0 Then, x = +12 or x = +7
⇒ 10x2 – 5x – 2x + 1 = 0 II. y2 – 25y + 156 = 0
⇒ 5x (2x -1) -1 (2x - 1) = 0 ⇒ y2 – 12y – 13y + 156 = 0
⇒ (5x - 1) (2x- 1) = 0 ⇒ y(y – 12) – 13 (y – 12) = 0
⇒ 5x - 1 = 0 or 2x - 1 = 0 ⇒ (y – 13)(y – 12) = 0
⇒ x = 1/5 or 1/ 2 Then, y = +13 or y = +12
Equation 2: So, when x = +12, x < y for y = +13 and x = y for
35y2 – 12y + 1 = 0 y = +12
⇒ 35y2 – 7y – 5y + 1 = 0 And when x = +7, x < y for y = +13 and x < y for
⇒ 7y (5y -1) -1 (5y – 1) = 0 y = +12
⇒ (7y - 1) (5y - 1) = 0 ∴ So, we can observe that the relation between
⇒ 7y – 1= 0 and 5y – 1 = 0 x and y is x ≤ y
⇒ y = 1/7 and 1/5
Now, Comparing the values of x and y 11. Solution (4)
x = 1/5 is equals to 1/5 and greater than 1/7 - Percentage = (2000/3000) × 100 = (2/3) × 100 =
x = 1/2 is greater than 1/5 and 1/7 200/3%
⇒x ≥y ∴ Answer is 66(2/3)%

Total production of company P and T = 1500 + ⇒ 348 - 52 = 323
4500 = 6000
⇒ 323 - 72 = 274
Total demand of company Q and R = 4500 + 2700
= 7200 ⇒ 274 - 112 = 153
Difference = 7200 – 6000 ∴ The wrong number in the series is 355

wrong number here. ⇒ 2935 × 4 + 42 = 11756
Hence, “-50” is the wrong term
⇒ 11756 × 3 + 32 = 35277
17. Solution (3) ⇒ 35277 × 2 + 22 = 70558

13 + 12 - 1 = 1 + 1 - 1 ⇒ 1 year respectively.
23 + 22 - 1 = 8 + 4 - 1 ⇒ 11 Formula used:
33 + 32 - 1 = 27 + 9 - 1 ⇒ 35 S.I. = (P × r × t)/100
43 + 42 - 1 = 64 + 16 - 1 ⇒ 79 C.I. = P{1 + (r/100)}t - P
53 + 52 - 1 = 125 + 25 - 1 ⇒ 149 Here, P = Principal

S.I. for Rohit = Rs. (18000 × 15 × 2)/100 -Length = 10% increase
⇒ Rs. 5400 Breadth = 20% decrease
C.I. for Raunak = Rs. 18000{1 + (15/100)}2 - Rs.
18000
⇒ Rs. 18000 × (23/20) × (23/20) - Rs. 18000

(ii) Trisha‟s investment = Rs.25,000 ⇒ 110L/100
(iii) Profit after one year = Rs.83,000 ⇒ 1.1L
Common Mistake: Decrease in Breadth is
(i) If A invested after 4 months then it means B ⇒ (100 - 20)% of B
invested for (12 - 4) months or 8 months. ⇒ 80B/100
Calculations: ⇒ 0.8B
Amit‟s Share : Trisha‟s Share Area of the new rectangle is
⇒ 20000 × 12 : 25000 × (12 - 5) ⇒ Area = 1.1L × 0.8B
⇒ 240 : 175 ⇒ Area = 0.88LB
⇒ 48 : 35 Now, Percentage change is
⇒ Percentage change = {(0.88LB - LB)/LB} ×
⇒ Now let Amit‟s share be 48x.
100
⇒ Trisha‟s share be 35x.
⇒ Percentage change = (-0.12LB/LB) × 100
According to the question,
⇒ Percentage change = -12%
⇒ 48x + 35x = 83000
⇒ Percentage change = 12% decrease
⇒ 83x = 83000 ∴ The percentage change in area is 12%
⇒ X = 1000 decrease.

⇒ Ramesh Present age = 17x = 17 x 2 efficiency of pipes is calculated.
∴ Ramesh Present age = 34 Formula Used: If a pipe „A‟ can fill an empty
cistern in „x‟ hours then its efficiency is „1/x‟.
32. Solution (4) Calculation: The efficiency of pipes A, B and C
working together = 1/6
-Solution
And efficiency of pipes A and B working together
Given, the speed of boat in still water is 6 km/hour = 1/9
And the speed of stream is 2 km/hour So, efficiency of pipe C = 1/6 - 1/9 = 1/18
⇒ The speed of stream in downstream = 8 Since pipes A, B and C are opened simultaneously
km/hour for 3 hours i.e. tank is half full
And the speed of stream in upstream = 4 km/hour Remaining capacity to be filled alone by pipe C =1
- 1/2 = 1/2
Let the fixed distance be x km
Time taken by pipe C to fill the remaining
Now, according to question capacity = [(1/2)/(1/18)] = 9 hours.
x/4 = 3 + x/8
⇒ x/4 – x/8 = 3
⇒ x/8 = 3 Total work done = LCM of 6,9 = 18 units
Efficiency of A + B + C = 3
⇒ x = 24 Efficiency of A + B = 2
⇒ The total distance covered by the boat in Efficiency of C = 3 - 2 = 1
upstream and downstream = 24 × 2 3 hours work done by A + B + C = 3 × 3 = 9
∴ The total distance is 48 km Remaining work = 18 - 9 = 9 units
Time taken to complete remaining work = 9/1 =

Let the length of stationary train B = “x” m -Solution
The total distance travelled by train A = length of Let the work will get completed in „y‟ days.
train A + length of train B ∴ A will work for (y - 3) days.
⇒ Total distance travelled = 270 + x B will work for y days.
Time taken = 90 seconds C will work for 4 days.
∴ Speed of train A = (Total Distance)/(Total Time) A can complete the work in 20 days
⇒ A‟s 1 day‟s work = 1/20
= (270 + x)/90 ---(1)
⇒ A‟s (y - 3) day‟s work = (y - 3)/20
After crossing the pole, B can complete the work in 40 days
Total distance covered = Length of train A = 270 ⇒ B‟s 1 day‟s work = 1/40
m ⇒ B‟s y day‟s work = y/40
Time taken = 30 seconds C can complete the work in 60 days
∴ Speed = 270/30 = 9 m/s ---(2) ⇒ C‟s 1 day‟s work = 1/60
As the train passes both the stationary train B and ⇒ C‟s 4 day‟s work = 4/60
According to the question,
the pole in the same speed,
⇒ y-3/20+y/40+4/60=1
∴ (1) = (2) 6(y-3)+3y+8/120 =1
∴ (270 + x)/90 = 9 ⇒ 6y - 18 + 3y + 8 = 120
⇒ 270 + x = 810 ⇒ 9y = 130
⇒ x = 540 m ⇒ y=130/9=14(4/9)1449 days
Thus, the stationary train B has a length of 540m. ∴ Time taken to complete the work =14(4/9) days
