Q1: This graph shows a map of an island just off the coast of a continent. The point labelled B represents a major city on the coast. The distance between grid lines represents 1 km.
Which point is in the water, (2, 7) or (7, 2)?
(a) (2, 7)
(b) (7, 2)
(c) Both
(d) None of these
Ans: (a) (2, 7)
Q2: Arrange the following words in the order they appear in a dictionary and choose the right option.

(d) 3, 1, 2, 4, 5
Ans: (c)
Q3: If '+' represents '×', '–' represents '÷', '×' represents '+', and '÷' represents '–', what is the result of 115 × 17 ÷ 81 – 3 + 4?
(a) 24
(b) 30
(c) 28
(d) 38
Ans: (a)
Q4: The smallest number by which 3888 must be divided so that the resulting number is a perfect square is
(a) 2
(b) 6
(c) 3
(d) None of these
Ans: (c)
Resolving 3888 into its prime factors, we find that
3888 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3
3888 = (2 × 2) × (2 × 2) × (3 × 3) × (3 × 3)
Here we find that prime factor 3 is appearing alone.
So, if we divide 3888 by 3, we will get a perfect square number.
∴ 1296 = (2 × 2) × (2 × 2) × (3 × 3) × (3 × 3)
Q5: The product of two numbers is 1936. If one number is 4 times the other, the numbers are
(a) 16, 121
(b) 22, 88
(c) 44, 44
(d) None of these
Ans: (b)
Let one number = a
∴ Second number = 4
⇒4a×a=1936
⇒a2=484
a2=(2×2)×(11×11)
⇒a=2×11=22
and 4 𝑎 = 4 × 22 = 88
4a=4×22=88
∴ Numbers are 22 and 88.
Q6: The least square number exactly divisible by 4, 6, 10, 15 is
(a) 400
(b) 100
(c) 25
(d) 900
Ans: (d)
Least number which is divisible by 4, 6, 10, 15 is LCM (4, 6, 10, 15)
LCM (4, 6, 10, 15) = 2 × 3 × 5 × 2
LCM (4, 6, 10, 15) = 60
60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5
Here we find that 3 and 5 occurs alone. So, if we multiply 60 by
3 × 5 = 15, we get a perfect square number.
∴ 60 × 3 × 15 = 900
900 is the least square number which is divisible by 4, 6, 10, 15.
Q7: 7396 students are sitting in an auditorium in such a manner that there are as many students in a row as there are rows in the auditorium. How many rows are there in the auditorium?
(a) 80
(b) 76
(c) 86
(d) 75
Ans: (c)
Let the number of students sitting in a row = ‘x’
∴ Number of rows in auditorium = ‘x’
∴ Number of students sitting in auditorium
= x x x = x2
Now x2 = 7396 Number of rows in auditorium = 86.
Q8: What must be added to 24136 to make it a perfect square?
(a) 100
(b) 200
(c) 111
(d) None of these
Ans: (b)
24136 > 1552

Q38: The smallest number by which 136 must be multiplied so that it becomes a perfect square is
(a) 2
(b) 17
(c) 34
(d) None of these
Ans: (c)
Resolve 136 into prime factors and make group of two of each prime factor
136 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 17
136 = (2 × 2) × 2 × 17
We find that 2 and 17 doesn't appear in group of two. So, 136 has to be multiplied with 34 to make it a perfect square.
∴ 136 × 2 × 17 = (2 × 2) × (2 × 2) × (17 × 17)
⇒ 4624 = (2 × 2) × (2 × 2) × (17 × 17)
⇒ Required square root = 2 × 2 × 17 = 68

Q44. In the diagram, PQRS is a parallelogram.
The coordinates of R are
(a) (5, 2)
(b) (5, 3)
(c) (6, 2)
(d) (6, 3)
Ans: (d)
Opposite sides of the parallelogram are equal.
Length of PQ = (abscissa of Q) – (abscissa of P)
= 5 – 1 = 4
Thus, the length of SR = 4
⇒ Abscissa of R is 6
Ordinate of R from X-axis = 3
Thus, the coordinates of R are (6, 3).
