Q.1: The smallest number which when divided by 28 and 42 leaves remainders 8 and 22 respectively is:
(a) 104
(b) 84
(c) 64
(d) 74
Correct Answer is Option (c)
∵ 28 – 8 = 20 and 42 – 22 = 20
Now, 28 = 22 × 7
and 42 = 2 × 3 × 7
∴ LCM (28, 42) = 22 × 3 × 7
= 84
Required number = LCM (28, 42) – 20
= 84 – 20
= 64.
Q.2: If tan θ – cot θ = 8, then the value of tan2θ + cot2θ is:
(a) 68
(b) 69
(c) 66
(d) 70
Correct Answer is Option (c)
Given,
tan θ – cot θ = 8
Taking square on both sides, we get
tan2 θ + cot2 θ – 2 tan q . cot θ = 64
Q.3: In the given figure, and ∠AED = ∠ABC, then :
(a) ∠B = ∠C
(b) ∠A = ∠D
(c) ∠A = ∠E
(d) ∠A = ∠B
Correct Answer is Option (a)
Here,
So, DE || BC [By the converse of Thales theorem]
∴ ∠AED = ∠ACB
(corresponding angles)
But ∠AED = ∠ABC (given)
∴ ∠ABC = ∠ACB.
Q.4: In a given DABC, DE || BC and AB/DB = 3/4. If AC = 4.9 cm, then AE is :
(a) 2.5 cm
(b) 2.8 cm
(c) 2.1 cm
(d) 2.6 cm
Correct Answer is Option (c)
Let AE = x cm,
then EC = (4.9 – x) cm
and DE || BC (given)
⇒ 3(4.9 – x) = 4x
⇒ 14.7 – 3x = 4x
⇒ 7x = 14.7
⇒ x = 2.1
Q.5: If p(– 3) = 0, then one factor of the polynomial p(x) is:
(a) x – 3
(b) x + 3
(c) 3x
(d) x/3

(a) 32π cm
(b) 28π cm
(c) 60π cm
(d) 96π cm
Correct Answer is Option (c)
∵ Long hand makes 5 rounds in 60 hours and radius of the circle formed by long hand = 6 cm
∴ Distance travelled by long hand in 5 rounds
= 5 × circumference of the circle
= 5 × 2πr
= 5 × 2π × 6
= 60π cm.

(a) 1/22
(b) 3/22
(c) 1/11
(d) 10/11
Correct Answer is Option (c)
No. of removed cards = 2 + 2 + 2 + 2
∴ Remaining cords = 52 – 8 = 44
i.e., n(S) = 44
and no. of tens cards = 4
i.e., favourable outcomesn(E) = 4

Q.29: Mr. Shayam has recently shifted in his new house. When he entered in master bed room and observed its dimensions 8m × 6m × 4m. He decided to put one longest rod into it. The length of the longest rod will be.
(a) 4 m
(b) 6 m
(c) 2 m
(d) 12 m
Correct Answer is Option (c)
Length = 8 m, breadth = 6 m and height = 4 m
Since, the length of the longest rod is equal to HCF (8, 6 and 4), i.e.,
8 = 23,
6 = 2 × 3
and 4 = 22
Then, HCF (8, 6 and 4) = 2
Thus, the longest rod that can measure
the dimensions of the room exactly = 2m.
