5. Answer: Option A
Explanation:
All except Rhea are kinds of fishes.

6. Answer: Option C
Explanation:
All except Narmada are rivers which flow into the Bay of Bengal, while Narmada flows into the Arabian Sea.

7. Answer: Option C
Explanation:
5
Whole work is done by A in 20 x 4 = 25 days.

4 1
Now, 1- 5 i.e., 5 work is done by A and B in 3 days.

Whole work will be done by A and B in (3 x 5) = 15 days.

1 1
A's 1 day's work = , (A + B)'s 1 day's work = .
25 15
 11TH GOING TO 12TH

1 1 4 2
B's 1 day's work = 15 - 25 = 150 = 75.

75 1
So, B alone would do the work in = 37 days.
2 2

8. Answer: Option D
Explanation:
1 1 1 37
(P + Q + R)'s 1 hour's work = 8 + 10 + 12 = 120.

37 37
Work done by P, Q and R in 2 hours = 120 x 2 = 60.

37 23
Remaining work = 1 - 60 = 60.

1 1 11
(Q + R)'s 1 hour's work = 10 + 12 = 60.

11
Now, work is done by Q and R in 1 hour.
60
23 60 23 23
So, 60 work will be done by Q and R in 11 x 60 = 11 hours 2 hours.

So, the work will be finished approximately 2 hours after 11 A.M., i.e., around 1 P.M.

9. Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Elated is the opposite of despondent; enlightened is the opposite of ignorant.

10. Answer: Option C

Explanation:
A lizard is a type of reptile; a daisy is a type of flower. Choices a and b are incorrect because a petal and a stem
are parts of a flower, not types of flowers. (Choice d) is incorrect because an alligator is another type of reptile,
not a type of flower.

11. Answer: Option C

Explanation:
17th June, 1998 = (1997 years + Period from 1.1.1998 to 17.6.1998)
Odd days in 1600 years = 0
Odd days in 300 years = (5 x 3) 1
97 years has 24 leap years + 73 ordinary years.
Number of odd days in 97 years ( 24 x 2 + 73) = 121 = 2 odd days.
Jan. Feb. March April May June
(31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 17) = 168 days
168 days = 24 weeks = 0 odd day.
Total number of odd days = (0 + 1 + 2 + 0) = 3.
Given day is Wednesday.

12. Answer: Option D

Explanation:
We shall find the day on 1st April, 2001.
1st April, 2001 = (2000 years + Period from 1.1.2001 to 1.4.2001)
Odd days in 1600 years = 0
Odd days in 400 years = 0
Jan. Feb. March April
(31 + 28 + 31 + 1) = 91 days 0 odd days.
Total number of odd days = (0 + 0 + 0) = 0
On 1st April, 2001 it was Sunday.
In April, 2001 Wednesday falls on 4th, 11th, 18th and 25th.

13. Answer: Option B

Explanation:
x weeks x days = (7x + x) days = 8x days.
14. Answer: Option B
Explanation:

Explanation:
Let the duration of the flight be x hours.
600 600
Then, - = 200
x x + (1/2)
600 1200
- = 200
x 2x + 1
x(2x + 1) = 3
2x2 + x - 3 = 0
(2x + 3)(x - 1) = 0
x = 1 hr. [neglecting the -ve value of x]

MATHEMATICS

1. (b) (sin2  + cos2 )3 = (1)3

 sin6  + cos6  + 3 sin2  cos2  = 1
and sin4  + cos4  + 2 sin2  cos2  = 1
Both gives,
2 (sin6  + cos6 ) − 3 (sin4  + cos4 ) + 1 = 0 .

2. (a) cos x + cos2 x = 1  cos x = sin2 x

 sin2 x + sin4 x = cos x + cos2 x = 1 .

3. D

4. (c) Sn = 1(1!) + 2(2!) + 3(3!) + ..... + n(n!)

= (2 − 1)(1!) + (3 − 1)(2!) + (4 − 1)(3!) + ..... +[(n + 1) − 1](n!)
= (2.1!− 1!) + (3.2!− 2!) + (4.3!− 3!) + .... +[(n + 1)(n!) − (n!)]
= (2!− 1!) + (3!− 2!) + (4!− 3!) + .... + [(n + 1)!− (n)!]
= (n + 1)!− 1! .

5. (c) We have first term A = a ......(i)

Second term A + d = b ......(ii)
and last term l = 2a ......(iii)
b
From (i), (ii) and (iii),  and n =
b−a
n b 3ab
Then sum S = [a + l] = [a + 2a] =
2 2(b − a) 2(b − a)

6. (b) log4 (x − 1) = log2 (x − 3)  x − 1 = (x − 3)2

 x2 − 7x + 10 = 0  (x − 5)(x − 2) = 0
 x = 5, 2 but x − 3  0 when x = 2
 only solution is x = 5
 Hence number of solution is one.

7. (a) We have x = 7 + 4 3

1 1 7−4 3
 = =
x 7+4 3 7+ 4 3. 7−4 3
= 7−4 3

x+ = 7+4 3 + 7−4 3
x
= ( 3 + 2) + (2 − 3 ) = 4 .

8. (c) x = 2 + x  x2 − x − 2 = 0
 (x − 2)(x + 1) = 0  x = 2, −1
But 2 + 2 + .....  −1, so it is equal to 2.

9. (c) ,  are roots of ax 2 + bx + c = 0

b c
  +  = − and  =
a a
Let the roots of cx 2 + bx + a = 0 be ,  , then

10. (b) Given equation is (p2 + q2 )x 2 − 2q(p + r)x + (q2 + r 2 ) = 0

Roots are real and equal, then
4q2 (p + r)2 − 4(p2 + q2 )(q2 + r 2 ) = 0
 q2 (p2 + r 2 + 2pr) − (p2q2 + p2r 2 + q4 + q2r 2 ) = 0
 q2p2 + q2r 2 + 2pq2r − p2q2 − p2r 2 − q4 − q2r 2 = 0
 2pq2r − p2r 2 − q4 = 0  (q2 − pr)2 = 0
Hence q 2 = pr . Thus p, q, r in G.P.

11. (a) Point of intersection y = − and x =
5 5
3(23) + 4( −21) 69 − 84
 3x + 4y = = = −3 .
5 5
Hence, required line is 3x + 4y + 3 = 0 .

12. (a) ax + by + c = 0 is always through (1, − 2) .

 a − 2b + c = 0  2b = a + c
Therefore, a, b and c are in A.P.

13. (b) Here the lines are, 3x + 4y − 9 = 0 ......(i)

and 6x + 8y − 15 = 0 ......(ii)
Now distance from origin of both the lines are
−9 9 −15 15

16. (c) Given that b2, a2, c 2 are in A.P.

Therefore a2 − b2 = c 2 − a2
 (a − b)(a + b) = (c − a)(c + a)
a−b c −a b−a+c −c a+b−b−c
 =  =
c +a a+b (c + a)(b + c) (b + c)(a + b)

Hence (a + b), (b + c), (c + a) are in H.P.
 11TH GOING TO 12TH

17. (d) a1 + a5 + a10 + a15 + a20 + a24 = 225

 (a1 + a24 ) + (a5 + a20 ) + (a10 + a15 ) = 225
 3(a1 + a24 ) = 225  a1 + a24 = 75
(  In an A.P. the sum of the terms equidistant from the beginning and the end is same and is equal to the
sum of first and last term)
24
a1 + a2 + ...... + a24 = (a1 + a24 ) = 12  75 = 900 .

18. (b) x, y, z are in G.P. Hence y 2 = xz

 2logy = logx + logz
 2(logy + 1) = (1+ logx) + (1+ logz)
 1+ logx, 1+ logy, 1+ logz are in A.P.
1 1 1
 , , are is H.P.
1 + log x 1 + log y 1 + log z

19. (c) Centres of circles are C1(2, 3) and C2 ( −3, − 9) and their radii are r1 = 5 and r2 = 8 .
Obviously r1 + r2 = C1C2 i.e., circles touch each other externally. Hence there are three common tangents.

20. (c) sin2  + cosec 2 = (sin  + cosec)2 − 2 sin  cosec

= (2)2 − 2 = 4 − 2 = 2, since (sin  + cosec) = 2.
