2x2 + 13x + 20 = 0
(√196 + 204 ÷ 6) ÷ 4 + ? ~ 156 - 90
Or, 2x2 + 8x + 5x + 20 = 0
(14 + 34) ÷ 4 + ? ~ 66

f y2 + 11y + 30 = 0
f 59. Answer: (A)
A Or, y2 + 5y + 6y + 30 = 0

r 'x' Relation 'y'
r -5/2 > -6
u
c -5/2 > -5
-4 > -6 60. Answer: (B)
Let the profit share of 'A' = ₹'K'
-4 > -5 Then, profit share of 'B' = ₹(K + 2900)
So, x > y We have,
52. Answer: (C) K + K + 2900 = 9700
From I: Or, 2K + 2900 = 9700
t 2x2 + 9x - 45 = 0 Or, K = (9700 - 2900) ÷ 2 = 3400
s Or, 2x2 + 15x - 6x + 45 = 0 So, Profit shares of 'A' and 'B' are ₹3,400 and ₹6,300,
e Or, x(2x + 15) - 3(2x + 15) = 0 respectively
T Or, (2x + 15)(x - 3) = 0 So, ratio of profit shares of 'A' and 'B' = 3400:6300
e Or, x = (-15/2), 3 = 34:63
n From II: Let the initial investment of 'A' = ₹'Y'
i y2 + 2y - 99 = 0 Then, initial investment of 'B' = ₹(Y + 200)
l Or, y2 + 11y - 9y - 99 = 0 Ratio of profit shares of 'A' and 'B' = (Y × 8):{(Y + 200) × 12} =
n
O Or, y(y + 11) - 9(y + 11) = 0 8Y:(12Y + 2400) = 34:63
Or, (y + 11)(y - 9) = 0 Or, 504Y = 408Y + 81600
Or, y = 9, -11 So, Y = 81600 ÷ 96 = 850
'x' Relation 'y' 61. Answer: (B)
-15/2 < 9 Let the marks scored by 'D' = 'y'
-15/2 > -11 Then, marks scored by 'A' = y × 1.5 = '1.5y'
3 < 9 Marks scored by 'C' = 1.5y ÷ 1.2 = '1.25y'
Let the marks scored by 'B' = 'k'

According to the question, = 14 units/minute
{(1.5y + k) ÷ 2} = {(1.25y + k) ÷ 2} + 6 So, efficiency of pipe 'B' alone = 14 - 5
Or, 1.25y + k + 12 = 1.5y + k = 9 units/minute
So, 0.25y = 12 Combined efficiency of the leak and pipe 'B'
So, y = 48 = 126 ÷ 18 = 7 units/minute
62. Answer: (E) So, efficiency of the leak = 7 - 9 = 2 units/minute
q Let the cost price of the article = ₹'100y' So, time taken by the leak to empty entire tank 'Y'
c Then, according to the question, = 126 ÷ 2 = 63 minutes

{(100y × 1.45) - 11} × 0.8 = 100y + 20 68. Answer: (D)
s Or, (145y - 11) × 0.8 = 100y + 20 Let the length and speed of train 'A' be 'l' metres and 's' m/s,
r Or, 116y - 8.8 = 100y + 20 respectively
i Or, 16y = 28.8 Speed of train 'B' = 54 × (5/18) = 15 m/s
a
f So, y = 28.8 ÷ 16 = 1.8 According to question;
f So, cost price of the article = 1.8 × 100 = ₹180 {(l + 120)/s} = 12
A So, required selling price = 180 × 1.25 = ₹225 Or, l = (12s - 120)
t 63. Answer: (C) And, {(12s - 120 + 220)/(s - 15)} = 40
n Let the sum invested be ₹'p' Or, 12s + 100 = 40s - 600
e Effective rate of interest = 20/2 = 10% Or, 28s = 700
r
r Effective time period = (18/6) = 3 Or, s = 25
u According to question: Length of train 'A' = (l) = (12 × 25) - 120 = 180 metres
c 662 = p × {(1 + 10/100)3 - 1} 69. Answer: (C)
Or, 662 = p × (331/1000) Still water speed of boat 'P' = 70 ÷ 2.5 = 28 km/h
Or, p = 662/0.331 Let the speed of the stream = 'y' km/h
Or, p = 2000 Then, upstream and downstream speeds of boat 'P' is (28 - y)
Required sum = ₹2000 km/h and (28 + y) km/h, respectively
s 64. Answer: (B) According to the question, (
e Let the amount invested by Sumit in scheme 'A' be ₹'x' (28 - y) = (28 + y) × 0.75 = (21 + 0.75y)
i
r So, amount invested by Sumit in scheme 'B' Or, 21 + 1.75y = 28
e = ₹(11000 - x) So, y = 7 ÷ 1.75 = 4
s Simple interest earned = {(x × 40 × 2)/100} = ₹(4x/5) So, downstream speed of boat 'P' = 28 + 4 = 32 km/h
t Effective rate of interest for scheme 'B' = (50/2) = 25% And so, upstream speed of boat 'Q' = 32 × (15/16)
s Effective time period for scheme 'B' = (1 × 2) = 2 terms, where = 30 km/h
e each term consists of 6 months So, still water speed of boat 'Q' = 30 + 4 = 34 km/h
t
Compound interest earned = (11000 - x) × [{1 + (25/100)}2 - 1] 70. Answer: (E)
e = ₹{6187.5 - (9x/16)} Area levelled by the roller in one revolutions = curved surface
n According to question: area of the roller = 2 × π × radius × length
i {6187.5 - (9x/16)} - (4x/5) = 2100 = 2 × (22/7) × 7 × 15 = 660 m2
l
n Or, 4087.5 = (109x/80) So, number of revolutions needs to level the area of the entire
o Or, x = 3000 ground = 16500 ÷ 660 = 25
So, amount invested in scheme 'B' = 11000 - 3000
