General Instructions:
Q.1: The product of two numbers is 1800 and their LCM is 200, then the HCF of the numbers is:
(a) 9
(b) 90
(c) 900
(d) 360000
Correct Answer is Option (a)
HCF = Product of two numbers/LCM
= 1800/200
= 9.
Q.2: If α and β are the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial f(x) = kx2 + 4x + 4, then the value of α+β/αβ is:
(a) 2/3
(b) 1
(c) – 1
(d) – 2
Correct Answer is Option (c)
It is given that,
f(x) = kx2 + 4x + 4
∴ α + β = − 4/kand αβ = 4/k
∴ α+β/αβ = -4/k/4/k
= -1
Q.3: The value of k for which the system of equations kx + 10y = k – 5 and 10x + ky = k will have infinite many solutions is:
(a) – 3
(b) ± 10
(c) ± 6
(d) 4
Correct Answer is Option (b)
Here,
The system will have infinite solutions if
Then, k/10 = 10/k
⇒ k2 = 100
⇒ k = ± 10
Q.4: A box contains 80 discs, numbered from 1 to 90. If one disc is drawn at random from the box, the probability that it bears a prime number less than 30, is:
(a) 1/8
(b) 9/80
(c) 11/80
(d) 3/20
Correct Answer is Option (a)
Total number outcomes = 80
i.e., n(S) = 80
Prime number less than 30 = 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29
i.e., n(E) = 10
∴ Required probability,
P(E) = n(E)/n(S)
= 10/80
= 1/8
Q.5: The area of circle that can be inscribed in a square of side 2.8 cm, is:
(a) 6.60 cm2
(b) 6.08 cm2
(c) 6.76 cm2
(d) 6.16 cm2
Correct Answer is Option (d)
Since, side of a square = diameter of the circle
∴ Radius of the circle (r) = 2.8/2= 1.4 cm
Now, area of the circle = πr2
= 22/7 x 1.4 x 1.4
= 6.16 cm2.
Q.6: The largest number which divides 377,286 and 421 leaving remainders 9, 10 and 7 respectively, is:
(a) 23
(b) 46
(c) 69
(d) 92
Correct Answer is Option (b)
Required number
= 377 – 9 i.e., 368
286 – 10 i.e., 276 and 421 – 7 i.e., 414
368 = 24 × 23
276 = 22 × 3 × 23
and 414 = 2 × 32 × 23
Hence, HCF = 2 × 23
= 46.
Q.7: If 2 sin θ – √3 = 0, then the value of 4 cos3 θ – 3 cos θ is:
(a) – 1
(b) 1
(c) 2
(d) 4
Correct Answer is Option (a)
2 sin θ − √3 = 0
⇒ sin θ = √3/2
⇒ sin θ = sin 60°
⇒ θ = 60°
Now, 4 cos3 θ – 3cos θ
= 4(cos 60°)3 – 3 cos 60°
= 4(cos 60°)3 – 3 cos 60°
= -1
Q.8: In DABC, DE || BC, then the value of x is:
(a) 1 unit
(b) 2 unit
(c) 3 unit
(d) 4 unit
Correct Answer is Option (d)
Since, DE || BC, then
AD/DB = AE/EC
⇒ x/x-2 = x + 2/x - 1
⇒ x(x - 1) = x2 - 4
⇒ x2 - x = x2 - 4
⇒ x = 4 Unit

(a) 13 m
(b) 12 cm
(c) 5 m
(d) 10 cm
Correct Answer is Option (a)
Let ABCD be a rectangle, then, AB = 12 m and BC = 5 cm in right angled DABC,
AC2 = AB2 + BC2
(By using Pythagoras Theorem)
= (12)2 + (5)2
= 144 + 25
= 169
∴ AC = √169 = 13 m.
Q.12: While playing with circular toy. Mohit, started measuring it, if he measured perimeter of a sector of a circle of radius 4 cm is 20 cm, then the arc ACB is:
(a) 8 cm
(b) 28 cm
(c) 12 cm
(d) 8.5 cm
Correct Answer is Option (c)
Here OACB is a sector of circle
and OA= OB = 4 cm
∴ Perimeter = 20 cm (given)
OA+ OB +arc ACB = 20
⇒ 4 + 4 + arc ACB = 20
⇒ arc ACB = (20 – 8) cm
⇒ 12 cm

(a) 9
(b) 10
(c) 11
(d) 12
Correct Answer is Option (a)
4 sin2 30° + cosec2 30° + 3 cos 0° + 4 sin 90° – tan2 60°.
= 4(1/2)2 + (2)2 + 3 x 1 + 4 x 1 - (√3)2
= 4 x 1/4 + 4 + 7 - 3
= 1 + 4 + 4= 9.

(a) 4.5 cm
(b) 4 cm
(c) 3.8 cm
(d) 4.8 cm
Correct Answer is Option (b)
We have, ΔABC ~ DADE
⇒ AB/AE = BC/DE
⇒ 8/AE = 9/4.5⇒ AE = 8 x 4.5/9
= 4 cm

(a) 4/11
(b) 7/11
(c) 1
(d) 0
Correct Answer is Option (a)
Total no. of letters in the given word = 11
i.e., n(S) = 11
and no. of vowels in the given word = 4
i.e., n(E) = 4
∴ P(choosing a vowel) = 4/11.

(a) ab
(b) 1
(c) a2b2
(d) a2 + b2
Correct Answer is Option (c)
We have,
x = α sin θ
and y = b cos θ
Then, b2x2 + a2y2 = b2 × a2 sin2 q + a2 × b2 cos2 θ
= a2b2 (sin2 θ + cos2 θ)
= a2b2 × 1
[∵ sin2 θ + cos2 θ = 1]
= a2b2.

(a) 2
(b) 3
(c) 4
(d) 5
Correct Answer is Option (c)
Since HCF = 81, two numbers can be taken as 81x and 81y,
ATQ 81x + 81y = 1215
Or x + y = 15
which gives four co prime pairs
(1,14), (2,13), (4,11), (7, 8)

(a) 4
(b) 28
(c) 38
(d) 48
Correct Answer is Option (c)
LCM of two prime numbers = product of the numbers
221 = 13 × 17.
So p = 17 & q = 13
∴ 3p – q = 51-13 = 38

(a) –1, 1
(b) 0,1
(c) 1, 2
(d) –1, –1
Correct Answer is Option (c)
1+ sin2α = 3 sinα cos α
sin2α + cos2α + sin2α = 3 sinα cos α
2 sin2α – 3sinα cos α + cos2α = 0
(2sinα – cos α)(sinα– cosα) =0
∴ cotα = 2 or cotα = 1

(a) 2/3
(b) 1/2
(c) 1/3
(d) 1/4
Correct Answer is Option (a)
Since P divides the line segment joining R(-1, 3) and S(9,8) in ratio k:1
∴ coordinates of P are
Since P lies on the line x – y + 2 = 0, then
9k –1 –8k–3 +2k+2 = 0
which gives k = 2/3

(c) 4(π/6 – √3/4) cm²
(d) 8(π/6 – √3/4) cm²
Correct Answer is Option (d)
Let O be the center of the circle.
OA = OB = AB = 1cm.
So ΔDAB is an equilateral triangle and
∴ ∠AOB Required Area = 8x Area of one segment with r = 1cm, q = 60°
= 8(π/6 – √3 /4)cm²
Q.38: If 2 and 1/2 are the zeros of px2 + 5x + r, then
(a) p = r = 2
(b) p = r = – 2
(c) p = 2, r = – 2
(d) p = – 2, r = 2
Correct Answer is Option (b)
Sum of zeroes = 2 + 1/2 = –5/p
i.e. 5/2 = –5/p. So p = –2
Product of zeroes = 2 x 1/2 = r/p
i.e. r/p = 1 or r = p = –2
