Q3. If 2x = 8y + 1 & 9y = 3x – 9 then y in
(a) 6
(b) 3
(c) 4
(d) 9
Ans. 2x = (2)3 (y + 1)
X = 3y + 1 (i)
(3) 2y + 3(x – 9)
2y = x – 9 or x = 2y + 9 (ii)
from equation (i) & (ii) 3y + 3 = 3y + 9
3y – 2y = 9 – 3 = 6
= 6

y
x
or y = 5x (ii)
from equation (i) x + 5x = 24 or x = 4
& y = 5x = 5x = 5 × 4 = 20
Their product is = 20 × 4 = 80

(d) None of these
Ans. Let father, age = x & son's age = y
as per the problem x = 7y ….(i) & after 5 year
F.A = (Present ag(e) + 5 = (x + 5) + 5 = x + 10
S.A = (Present ag(e) + 5 = (y + 5) = y + 10
as per the question x + 10 = 3 (y + 10) (i)
= x – 3y = 20 (ii)
from equation (i) and (ii) on solving
x = 40 & y = 10.

Ans. α + β = 1
p
= p
αβ = 1
9
= 9
α2β2 = (α + β)2 – 2 αβ
= (– p)2 – 2q
= p2 – 2q
Q9. The value of ? = 

1
and the parts are
(a) 30, 20 (b) 20, 30
(c) 20, 40 (d) 40, 20
Ans. As per question x + y = 50 (i)
12
1 1 1 = +
y x

xy
y x
xy = 12 (x + Y)
= 12 × 50 = 600 (ii)
= 2400 2500 −
or x – y = ( ) xy y x 4 2 − +
= 502 – 4 × 600
= 2400 2500 −
= 10 100 =
Solving x + y = 50
x – y = 10
2x = 60 or x = 30 & y = 20
Q12. A man buys mangoes paying one variety Rs. 320 to 240 & another variety of 640 to 400. He
mixes & sells them at16 mangoes for Rs. 30. Find the percentage of profit?
C.P of 240 mangoes = Rs. 320
C.P of 640 mangoes = Rs. 640
C.P of 640 mangoes = Rs. 960
(on variety)
S.P pf 16 mangoes = Rs. 30
S.P pf 640 mangoes = − = × / 1200 640
16
30
Profit = 1200 – 960 = 240
So percentage of profit = V 25 100
960
240 = ×
Q13. Two taps A & B take 20 minutes & 30 minutes to fill a cistern independently. The cistern can
filled in 40 minutes with the taps A & B & the waste pipe are open altogether. If the taps are
closed, calculate the time taken by the discharging outlet to empty the full cistern.
(a) 10 minutes
(b) 15 minutes
(c) 20 minutes
(d) None of these
Ans. Let the volume of cistern = V
Volume of water filled by tap A in 1 minute =
Volume of water filled by tap B in 1 minute =
Taps (A + (B) together can fill in 1minute =
When the discharging outlet is open these taps can fill water in one minute =
The outlined empties the cistern in 1 minute =
So the time taken by the outlet to discharging the whole water volume v is =
Q14. The price of sugar has decreased by 20%, by what% are the consumption of the sugar be
increased in a house so that there is no decrease in the expenditure on the sugar
Ans. Let the sugar consumption was x kg
Total expenditure of sugar = wx
Decrease in price = 25%
So new cost of sugar = x
Now, let w1kg of sugar is consumed for the same total expenditure in wx. This wx = w1x
% increase in consumption =

Q22. In fig. TAS is a tangent to the circle with center at O at a point A if ∠OBA = 320, find the value
of x and y.
(a) 400
(b) 580
(c) 320
(d) None of these
Ans. O is the center
OA = OB (Radii)
In AOB ∆,
∠OAB = ∠OBA = 320
A is the point of contact of tangent.
∠OAS = 900 or ∠OAB + ∠BAG = 900
= 32 + y = 900 or y = 580

same amount, each book would have cost him Rs 1/ – less. How many books did he buy?
(a) 6 (b) 10
(c) 15 (d) 20
Ans. Let total number of books = x
Cost per book = 80
As per our question, we get
