CTET Practice Test: Mathematics - 3 - Question 1

In the equation ax2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b and c are constants and a ≠ 0, what is the value of b?

(1)    3 and 4 are roots of the equation.

(2)   The product of the roots of the equation is 12.

Detailed Solution for CTET Practice Test: Mathematics - 3 - Question 1

Steps 1 & 2: Understand Question and Draw Inferences

Given equation is

 ax2+bx+c=0

It is also given that a, b and c are constants and that a≠0.

We need to find the value of b.

Step 3: Analyze Statement 1

It is given that 3 and 4 are the roots of the equation.

We know that for a quadratic equation
ax2+bx+c=0

Sum of roots = −b/a

Product of roots = c/a

Therefore, we have:

−ba  = 3 + 4 = 7………..(I)

c/ a  = 3 * 4 = 12 …………(II)

Note that these are two linear equations in three variables. So we cannot solve exclusively for b.

Statement 1 alone is not sufficient to arrive at a unique answer.

Step 4: Analyze Statement 2

It is given that the product of roots is 12.

Therefore, we have:

c/a  = 12 …….(III)

Notice that (III) is a single linear equation in two variables. Moreover, it doesn’t provide any information about b.

So statement 2 alone is not sufficient to arrive at a unique answer.

Step 5: Analyze Both Statements Together (if needed)

Now let us look at both the statements together.

Statement 1 gives us (I) and (II)

Statement 2 gives us (III).

However, notice that (III) is essentially same as (II).

In other words, we are simply left with (I) and (II) (essentially the same situation as in statement 1).

Therefore statement 1 and statement 2 combined together are not sufficient to arrive at a unique answer.

CTET Practice Test: Mathematics - 3 - Question 4

In the figure, ABCD is a rhombus, whose diagonals meet at 0. Find the values of x and y. 

Detailed Solution for CTET Practice Test: Mathematics - 3 - Question 4

Since diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angle .

∴ In △AOB , we have 

∠OAB + ∠x + 90° = 180° 

∠x = 180° -  90° - 35° [∵ ∠OAB = 35°]

= 55° 

Also, ∠DAO = ∠BAO = 35°  

∴ ∠y + ∠DAO + ∠BAO + ∠x = 180°  

⇒ ∠y + 35° + 35° + 55° =  180°  

⇒ ∠y = 180° - 125° = 55°

Hence the values of x and y are x =  55°, y =  55°.

Now,
Volume of cuboid = length * breadth * height
Volume = 20 * height
200 = 20 * height
Height = 200 / 20 = 10 cm.

CTET Practice Test: Mathematics - 3 - Question 12

CD = ? (Hindu Arabic numeral)

Detailed Solution for CTET Practice Test: Mathematics - 3 - Question 12

The Hindu-Arabic numeral for CD is 400.Explanation:

- In Roman numerals, CD represents the number 400.
- C represents 100 and D represents 500 in Roman numerals.
- When a smaller number is placed before a larger number in Roman numerals, it is subtracted from the larger number.
- So, CD represents 500 - 100 = 400.

CTET Practice Test: Mathematics - 3 - Question 19

In the figure, AB is parallel to CD and RD || SL || TM || AN, and BR : RS : ST : TA = 3 : 5 : 2 : 7. If it is known that CN = 1.333 BR. Find the ratio of BF : FG : GH : HI : IC

Detailed Solution for CTET Practice Test: Mathematics - 3 - Question 19
  • Since the lines, AB and CD are parallel to each other, and the lines RD and AN are parallel, it means that the triangles RBF and NCI are similar to each other. Since the ratio of CN : BR = 1.333, if we take BR as 3, we will get CN as 4.
  • This means that the ratio of BF : CI would also be 3 : 4.
    Also, the ratio of BR : RS : ST : TA = BF : FG : GH : HI = 3 : 5 : 2 : 7 (given).

Hence, the correct answer is 3 : 5 : 2 : 7 : 4
