Solutions
Q1. Ans(A)
Traditional Approach :
Let the number be x.
Then, according to the question,
6x = 2x2 – 8
⇒ 2x2 – 6x – 8 = 0
⇒ (x – 4)(2x + 2) = 0
⇒ x = 4, –1
Elimination Approach :
Let’s take option A ; 4
6 times of 4 = 24
Square of 4 = 16
∴ Twice of square of 4 = 32
We can clearly observe that 6 times of 4 is 8 less than twice the square of it.
Hence, it gets confirmed that 4 is the answer.
Option A, is hence the correct answer.
Q2. Ans(A)
Therefore, 20 Men will also complate the same work in ‘a’ days.
a = 45 days
So, 14 men and 7 children will complete that work in 45 days.
Option A, is hence the correct answer.
P2 + Q2 = 89
Option A, is hence the correct answer

⇒ Area of ΔABC = 4 × area of ΔPQR = 4 × 8 = 32 cm²
Option B, is hence the correct answer.
⇒ 52 = 25 + 2xy [Given x + y = 5 and x² + y² = 25]
So,
⇒ x3 + y3 = 125
Option C, is hence the correct answer.
Q6. Ans(C)
∠ ACB = 90° ( ∠ in a semi-circle).
So, ∠ ABC = 60° & ∠ CBD = 120°
Now, ∠ BCD = ∠ BAC = 30°(∠ s in alt. segments)
∴ ∠ BDC = 180° – ( 30°+120°) = 30°
Thus, ∠ BCD = ∠ BDC . So, BC = BD.
Q7. Ans(B)
Let present age of father be F and son be S.
F – 3 = 4(S – 3) + 1
⇒ F – 3 = 4S – 12 + 1
⇒ F – 3 = 4S – 11
⇒ F = 4 S – 11 + 3 = 4 S – 8
⇒F = 4S – 8 …(i)
Also,
(F + 5) + (S + 5) = 57
⇒ F + S + 10 = 57
⇒ F + S = 47
⇒ F = 47 – S …(2)
Putting value of F from eqn.(i) in eqn. (ii), we get:
4 S – 8 = 47 – S
⇒ 5S = 47 + 8 = 55
⇒ S = 11
Age of son = 11
Putting the age of son in eqn. (2), Age of father (F) = 47 – 11 = 36 years
Option B, is hence the correct answer.
Q8. Ans(B)
Now,
H.C.F of 75, 100, 125 and 200 is 25.
As,
200 = 25 × 8
So, the pipe, length of which is 75cm is cut into three equal parts of 25cm each.and similarly pipe of 100cm length cut into 4 equal parts and so on.
∴ Number of pieces = 3 + 4 + 5 + 8 = 20.
3x + 3x+1 = 36 ⇒ 3x + 3x × 31 = 36
⇒ 3x (1 + 3) = 36 ⇒ 3x = 9 = 32
⇒ x = 2 ∴ xx = 22 = 4
Option D, is hence the correct answer.
⇒ k = ± 16
Option A, is hence the correct answer.
