1. (D) : Let the number be x. 7. (B) : Let x m be the breadth of the garden.
Then, according to question Length of rectangle ABCD = 20 + 6 + 6 = 32 m
1 1 Breadth of rectangle ABCD = x + 6 + 6 = (x + 12) m
3 of 4 of x = 15
 Area of the road = Area of rectangle ABCD – Area of
1 1 rectangle EFGH
⇒ × × x = 15
3 4 ⇒ 32 (x + 12) – 20 × x = 564
⇒ x = 15 × 4 × 3 = 180
⇒ 32x + 384 – 20x = 564
3 3 ⇒ 12x = 564 – 384 = 180
Thus, of x = × 180 = 54.

According to question, 8x + 9x = 153 = 2050 millions.
⇒ 17x = 153 (c) Number of people preferring to play cricket in 2003
153 = 375 millions and the number of people preferring to play
⇒ x = =9
17 tennis in 2003 = 325 millions
Thus, the numbers are 72 and 81. \ Required ratio = 375 millions : 325 millions
4. (C) : We have given that P is a prime number = 375 : 325 = 15 : 13.
Let us take some examples 9. (D) : A line can have infinite number of perpendiculars.
If P = 3, then (P + 2) = 5
⇒ P(P + 2) + 1 = 3 × 5 + 1 = 16 = 42 3 5 3 6 9
