TN TET Paper 1: Mathematics Test - 3 - Question 1

Directions: Answer the following question by selecting the most appropriate option.
On a map, half cm shows 125 km on the ground. If two cities are actually 2000 km apart on the ground, then the distance between them on the map is

Detailed Solution for TN TET Paper 1: Mathematics Test - 3 - Question 1

Half cm on the map implies 125 km in reality.
This implies that 1 cm on the map implies 250 km in reality.
Or, 250 km actual distance is represented by a distance of 1 cm on the map.
Thus, a distance of 2000 km should be represented by a distance of (2000/250) cm on the map = 8 cm
Hence, option (3) is correct.

TN TET Paper 1: Mathematics Test - 3 - Question 2

A number is divisible by 12. By what other number will that number be divisible?

Detailed Solution for TN TET Paper 1: Mathematics Test - 3 - Question 2

We know that if a number is divisible by another number, then it is also divisible by all the factors of that number.
Thus, the number divisible by 12 will also be divisible by all the factors of 12.
Now, the factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12.
Among these factors, only 3 is given as an option.
Hence, the correct answer is 3.

TN TET Paper 1: Mathematics Test - 3 - Question 3

If (the place value of 8 in 45876) - (the place value of 6 in 9864) = 37 × ______, then the number which comes in blank space is:

Detailed Solution for TN TET Paper 1: Mathematics Test - 3 - Question 3

Concept used:
Place Value: It is the position of the digit. For example, in the digit 789, 9 is at the unit place, 8 is at the ten's place and 7 is at the 100's place. It means that we can write 789 = 700 + 80 + 9.
Face value is simply defined as the digit itself within a number. For example, the Face value of 5 in 350 is 5.
Calculation
Let the number which comes in blank space be 'a'
The place value of 8 in 45876 = 800
The place value of 6 in 9864 = 60
As given, 800 - 60 = 37 × a
⇒ 740 = 37 × a
⇒ a = 740 ÷ 37
∴ a = 20

TN TET Paper 1: Mathematics Test - 3 - Question 5

The figure consists of five squares of the same size. The area of the figure is 180 square centimetres. The perimeter (in cm) of the figure will be _____.

Detailed Solution for TN TET Paper 1: Mathematics Test - 3 - Question 5

Given that, the area of the figure consists of five squares = 180 cm2
As we know, the area of a square = side2
According to the question, the area of five squares = 180 cm2
So, the area of one square Side= 180/5 = 36 cm2
⇒ Side = √36
⇒ Side = 6
Side of one square = 6 cm 
Now, the perimeter of figure = 12 × 6 = 72 cm

TN TET Paper 1: Mathematics Test - 3 - Question 8

The Internal length, breadth and height of a rectangular box are 10 cm, 8cm, 6cm respectively. How many boxes are needed to pack 6240  centimetres cubes?

Detailed Solution for TN TET Paper 1: Mathematics Test - 3 - Question 8

Given that,
The internal length, breadth and height of a rectangular box are 10 cm, 8 cm and 6 cm respectively.
The volume of the cubes = 6240
As we know,
The volume of the rectangular box = length × breadth × height = 10 cm × 8 cm × 6 cm = 480 cm3
According to the question,
The total number of the boxes required = Total volume of the cubes ÷ Volume of the rectangular box = 6240/480 = 13
Hence, the total number of boxes needed to pack 6240 centimetre cubes = 13
.

TN TET Paper 1: Mathematics Test - 3 - Question 11

If the sum of interior angles of a polygon is 1800°, find the number of sides of the polygon.

Detailed Solution for TN TET Paper 1: Mathematics Test - 3 - Question 11

Sum of interior angles of a polygon = 1800° 

Concept:
Sum of the interior angles of a polygon = (n - 2) × 180° 
where, n is the number of sides of a polygon

Calculation:
We know that, 
Sum of the interior angles of a polygon = (n - 2) × 180° 
⇒ 1800° = (n - 2) × 180° 
⇒ 10° = n - 2
⇒ n = 10 + 2 = 12 
Hence, the number of sides of the polygon is 12.

TN TET Paper 1: Mathematics Test - 3 - Question 12

A teacher asked in a class to represent 1/8 of. Which amongst the following is an incorrect representation?

Detailed Solution for TN TET Paper 1: Mathematics Test - 3 - Question 12

According to the question we need to represent the fraction 1/8 of the given picture. It is clearly visible that the last option is correct because we have cut the rectangle into 8 equal halves and represented one of them as black that represents the fraction. The second option is symmetrical though the areas are different. At first, we cut the rectangle into 4 equal halves and then each of them in symmetrical wave structure. Hence, it correctly represents the fraction.
The first option is correct because four of them have equal area, another four of them have equal area and we use one of them. Hence, it also represents the fraction. But in the third option, all areas cut are different and without any relation between them. 

TN TET Paper 1: Mathematics Test - 3 - Question 13

The number of days in 70 months(considering 30 days a month) is equal to the number of days in ________ weeks.

Detailed Solution for TN TET Paper 1: Mathematics Test - 3 - Question 13

Number of days in 70 months = 70 x 30 = 2100 days
Therefore, number of weeks in 2100 days = 2100/7 = 300 weeks.

And, four and two-third means 4(2/3).
So, required angle:
= 4(2/3) x 90º
= (14/3) x 90º
= 14 x 30º
= 420º
Hence, the correct answer is 420º.

Detailed Solution for TN TET Paper 1: Mathematics Test - 3 - Question 17

Children use abstractions to perceive relationships, to see structures, to reason out things, to argue the truth or falsity of the statement. The main goal of mathematics education in schools is the 'mathematization' of a child's thinking. Clarity of thought and pursuing assumptions to logical conclusions is central to the mathematical enterprise.
As in general it increases the knowledge and also social skills in a systematic way. In science, it is also considered as the basic language as every other field is heavily dependent on mathematics. Experimentally proven that general intelligence, cognitive ability is given more priority than special ability in mathematics.
Hence, the correct answer is "All of the above".

TN TET Paper 1: Mathematics Test - 3 - Question 24

From 1 o'clock afternoon upto 10 o'clock in the night, the hands of a clock will be at right angle _______ times.

Detailed Solution for TN TET Paper 1: Mathematics Test - 3 - Question 24

The logic follows here is:
The hands of a clock are at a right angle two times in an hour.

  • 1 hour = 2 times (right angle)

So, the number of hours from 1 o'clock afternoon upto 10 o'clock at night = 9 hours.
Thus, the number of times the hands of a clock will be at the right angle = 9 × 2 = 18 times
Hence, the correct answer is "18".
