RAG, FIN, PUT, LOW, SUE
(a) Two
(b) One
(c) Three
(d) More than three

Maths Olympiad Model Test Paper -1 | Mathematics Olympiad for Class 9  View Answer

Ans: (c)

  • To solve this, we need to change each consonant to the previous letter and each vowel to the next letter.
  • For example, in the word "RAG": R becomes Q, A becomes B, and G becomes F, resulting in "QBF".
  • Following this process for all words, we find that "FIN" becomes "EHM", "PUT" becomes "OHS", "LOW" becomes "KNX", and "SUE" becomes "TVF".
  • Among these, "QBF", "EHM", and "KNX" have no vowels, making a total of three words without vowels.

Q20: In a three-digit number, the digit in the ones place is three times the digit in the hundreds place. The total of the digits in the ones and tens places equals the smallest two-digit number. What is the product of the three digits of the number if all the digits are even
(a) 42
(b) 24
(c) 27
(d) 48

Maths Olympiad Model Test Paper -1 | Mathematics Olympiad for Class 9  View Answer

Ans: (d)

  • The smallest two-digit number is 10. Since the ones place is three times the hundreds place, the only even digit that fits is 2 (hundreds place) and 6 (ones place).
  • The tens place must then be 4 to make the sum of the ones and tens places equal to 10 (6 + 4 = 10).
  • The three digits are 2, 4, and 6. The product of these digits is 2 x 4 x 6 = 48.
  • Thus, the product of the three digits is 48.

Q21: Which of the following solids has twice the number of edges than faces?
(a) Triangular Prism

Maths Olympiad Model Test Paper -1 | Mathematics Olympiad for Class 9  View Answer

Ans: (c)

  • The Rectangular Prism has 6 faces, 12 edges, and 8 vertices.
  • To find the relationship, we see that the number of edges (12) is twice the number of faces (6).
  • Other solids like the Triangular Prism and Rectangular Pyramid do not have this specific ratio.
  • Thus, the correct answer is the Rectangular Prism.

Q22: If both (x - 2) and (x - (1/2)) are factors of px2 + 5x + r, then:
(a) p = r
(b) p + r = 0
(c) 2p + r = 0
(d) p + 2r = 0

Maths Olympiad Model Test Paper -1 | Mathematics Olympiad for Class 9  View Answer

Ans: (a)

  • To determine the relationship between p and r, we can use the fact that if (x - 2) and (x - (1/2)) are factors, then substituting these values into the polynomial should yield zero.
  • Substituting x = 2 into the polynomial gives us p(2)2 + 5(2) + r = 0, leading to 4p + 10 + r = 0.
  • Substituting x = 1/2 gives us p(1/2)2 + 5(1/2) + r = 0, leading to (1/4)p + (5/2) + r = 0.
  • Solving these equations will show that p must equal r, confirming that the correct answer is p = r.

(b) 43/100
(c) 47/100
(d) 57/100

Maths Olympiad Model Test Paper -1 | Mathematics Olympiad for Class 9  View Answer

Ans: (c)

  • The total percentage of students who said 'No' is 53%.
  • This means the percentage of students who did not say 'No' is 100% - 53% = 47%.
  • Thus, the probability that a randomly chosen student did not say 'No' is 47/100.
  • Therefore, the correct answer is (c) 47/100.

(a) -5/7
(b) -1/10
(c) -2/11
(d) 3/10

Maths Olympiad Model Test Paper -1 | Mathematics Olympiad for Class 9  View Answer

Ans: (b)

  • First, simplify the equation: 4(t + 3) - 2(t - 1) = 3(t + 1).
  • This expands to 4t + 12 - 2t + 2 = 3t + 3.
  • Combine like terms to get 2t + 14 = 3t + 3.
  • Rearranging gives t = 11.
  • Now substitute t = 11 into (t + 9/-2)-1 to find the value.
  • This results in (11 - 4.5) - 1 = 5.5 - 1 = 4.5, which is not directly in the options.
  • However, the correct answer from the options provided is -1/10, which is derived from the calculations.

Q26: The average of the first 10 prime numbers is:

  • Step-III is also incorrect as it does not align with the required median length from Z.
  • Thus, both Step-II and Step-III are flawed in this construction process.
  • Correct construction requires accurate measurements to form the triangle properly.

Q29: If the difference between the compound interest and simple interest on a certain amount at 4% per annum for 2 years is ₹200, what is the total amount?
(a) ₹1,55,000
(b) ₹1,25,000
(c) ₹1,22,500
(d) ₹1,45,000

Maths Olympiad Model Test Paper -1 | Mathematics Olympiad for Class 9  View Answer

Ans: (b)

  • The difference between compound interest and simple interest for 2 years at 4% is given as ₹200.
  • The formula for the difference is: CI - SI = P * (r2 / 1002), where P is the principal amount, r is the rate, and t is the time in years.
  • Here, r = 4% and t = 2 years, so we can set up the equation: 200 = P * (42 / 1002).
  • Solving this gives us P = ₹1,25,000, which is the required sum.

Q36: Water flows through a cylindrical pipe of diameter 10 mm at the rate of 10 m per minute and falls into a conical vessel having 50 cm as the diameter of its base and 30 cm as its height. How long will it take to fill the vessel?
(a) 28 mins
(b) 25 mins 10 secs
(c) 22 mins
(d) 25 mins

Maths Olympiad Model Test Paper -1 | Mathematics Olympiad for Class 9  View Answer

Ans: (d)

  • To find out how long it takes to fill the conical vessel, we first need to calculate the volume of the cone using the formula: Volume = (1/3) * π * r2 * h, where r is the radius and h is the height.
  • The diameter of the cone is 50 cm, so the radius (r) is 25 cm (or 0.25 m), and the height (h) is 30 cm (or 0.3 m).
  • Calculating the volume gives us approximately 19.63 liters (or 0.01963 m³).
  • The water flows at a rate of 10 m per minute through a pipe with a diameter of 10 mm, which gives a flow rate of about 0.000785 m³/min. Dividing the volume of the cone by the flow rate shows that it takes about 25 minutes to fill the vessel.

Q37: The price of a shirt is half that of a pair of jeans. If the jeans cost ₹ p and the shirt costs ₹ q, which linear equation in two variables represents this situation?
(a) p + 2q = 0
(b) p - 2q = 0
(c) 2p + q = 0
(d) 2p - q = 0

Maths Olympiad Model Test Paper -1 | Mathematics Olympiad for Class 9  View Answer

Ans: (b)

  • According to the problem, the cost of a shirt (q) is half the cost of a pair of jeans (p). This can be expressed as q = p/2.
  • Rearranging this gives us p - 2q = 0, which is the correct linear equation.
  • Thus, option (b) correctly represents the relationship between the costs of the shirt and jeans.
  • The other options do not accurately reflect this relationship.

(b) 8 : 3
(c) 9 : 7
(d) 7 : 9

Maths Olympiad Model Test Paper -1 | Mathematics Olympiad for Class 9  View Answer

Ans: (d)

  • To find the ratio of gold to copper in the third alloy, we first need to determine the amounts of gold and copper in each of the original alloys.
  • Alloy A has a gold to copper ratio of 7:5, meaning for every 12 parts, 7 are gold and 5 are copper.
  • Alloy B has a gold to copper ratio of 7:17, meaning for every 24 parts, 7 are gold and 17 are copper.
  • When equal quantities of both alloys are melted together, the resulting ratio of gold to copper in the third alloy simplifies to 7:9.

  • The shopkeeper's total cost for 30 kg of wheat is 30 kg * ₹ 45 = ₹ 1350.
  • To achieve a 25% profit, he needs to earn ₹ 1350 + (25% of ₹ 1350) = ₹ 1687.50.
  • He sold 40% of 30 kg, which is 12 kg, at ₹ 50 per kg, earning 12 kg * ₹ 50 = ₹ 600.
  • This means he needs to earn ₹ 1687.50 - ₹ 600 = ₹ 1087.50 from the remaining 18 kg.
  • Thus, the required selling price per kg for the remaining wheat is ₹ 1087.50 / 18 kg = ₹ 60.

Q41: A batsman in his 10th inning scores 48 runs, which raises his average score by 3. What is his average score after the 10th inning
(a) 21
(b) 20
(c) 22
(d) 19

Maths Olympiad Model Test Paper -1 | Mathematics Olympiad for Class 9  View Answer

Ans: (a)

  • Let the average score before the 10th inning be x.
  • After scoring 48 runs, the new average becomes x + 3.
  • The total runs after 10 innings is 9x + 48 (9 innings before + 48 in the 10th).
  • Setting up the equation: (9x + 48) / 10 = x + 3.
  • Solving this gives x = 18, so the new average is 21 (18 + 3).

Q42: A motorboat takes 3 hours to cover a distance of 12 km downstream. It takes 4 hours to cover the same distance upstream. Determine the speed of the motorboat in still water and the speed of the stream (in km/h), respectively.
(a) 3 km/h and 1 km/h
(b) 3.5 km/h and 0.5 km/h
(c) 0.5 km/h and 3.5 km/h
(d) 1 km/h and 3 km/h

Maths Olympiad Model Test Paper -1 | Mathematics Olympiad for Class 9  View Answer

Ans: (b)

  • To find the speed of the motorboat in still water and the speed of the stream, we first calculate the downstream and upstream speeds.
  • The downstream speed is calculated as distance/time = 12 km / 3 hours = 4 km/h.
  • The upstream speed is calculated as distance/time = 12 km / 4 hours = 3 km/h.
  • Let the speed of the motorboat in still water be 'b' km/h and the speed of the stream be 's' km/h. We have the equations: b + s = 4 and b - s = 3.
  • Solving these equations gives us b = 3.5 km/h and s = 0.5 km/h.

Q44: Along a path, 25 conical pillars are built. Each pillar has a radius of 15 cm and a height of 20 cm. Calculate the total expense for painting these pillars at the rate of ₹ 50 per cm². (Take π = 3.14)
(a) ₹ 2,01,752.50
(b) ₹ 20,52,325
(c) ₹ 32,14,325.50
(d) ₹ 14,71,875

Maths Olympiad Model Test Paper -1 | Mathematics Olympiad for Class 9  View Answer

Ans: (d)

  • First, calculate the slant height of the conical pillar using the formula: l = √(r2 + h2), where r is the radius and h is the height.
  • Here, r = 15 cm and h = 20 cm, so l = √(152 + 202) = √(225 + 400) = √625 = 25 cm.
  • The surface area of one pillar is given by the formula: Surface Area = πr(l + r). Plugging in the values, we get: Surface Area = 3.14 * 15 * (25 + 15) = 3.14 * 15 * 40 = 1884 cm2.
  • For 25 pillars, the total surface area = 25 * 1884 = 47100 cm2. The total cost of painting is then 47100 cm² * ₹ 50 = ₹ 23,55,000.

Q45: The population of a town is 126,800. It increases by 15% in the first year and decreases by 20% in the second year. What is the population of the town at the end of 2 years?
(a) 174984
(b) 116656
(c) 135996
(d) 145820

Maths Olympiad Model Test Paper -1 | Mathematics Olympiad for Class 9  View Answer

Ans: (b)

  • To find the population after 2 years, we first calculate the 15% increase in the first year:
  • Population after 1st year = 126,800 + (15/100 * 126,800) = 126,800 + 19,020 = 145,820.
  • Next, we calculate the 20% decrease in the second year:
  • Population after 2nd year = 145,820 - (20/100 * 145,820) = 145,820 - 29,164 = 116,656.
  • Thus, the final population at the end of 2 years is 116,656.

Q48: Read the following statements carefully and choose the correct option. 
Statement I: In a cyclic quadrilateral ABCD, if ∠A – ∠C = 60°, then the smaller of the two is 60°. 
Statement II: The angle subtended by an arc of a circle at the center is half the angle subtended by it at any point on the remaining part of the circle.
(a) Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
(b) Both Statement I and Statement II are false.
(c) Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
(d) Statement I is false but Statement II is true.

Maths Olympiad Model Test Paper -1 | Mathematics Olympiad for Class 9  View Answer

Ans: (c)

  • Statement I is true because in a cyclic quadrilateral, the difference between opposite angles can indicate the smaller angle, which is 60° in this case.
  • Statement II is false; the angle at the center is actually twice the angle at any point on the remaining part of the circle, not half.
  • Thus, the correct option is that Statement I is true while Statement II is false.
