TN TET Paper 2: Science and Mathematics Test - 2 - Question 1

In the following figure, if l || m, then find the measures of angles marked by a and b.

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

l || m 

Concept used:
For two parallel lines,
Corresponding angles are equal.
Vertically opposite angles are equal.
Calculation:
∠110° = ∠p (Vertically opposite angles) 
∠p + ∠r1 + ∠r2 + ∠110° = 360°
⇒ ∠110° + ∠r1 + ∠r2 + ∠110° = 360°  (∠r1 = ∠r2, vertically opposite angles)
⇒ 2∠r1 = 140°
⇒ ∠r1 = 70°
Now, ∠r1 = ∠a (Corresponding angles)
∠a = 70°
Also, ∠a + ∠b = 180° (supplementary angles)
⇒ ∠b = 180° - 70° = 110°
∴ The measure of angles marked by a and b is 70° and 110° respectively.

TN TET Paper 2: Science and Mathematics Test - 2 - Question 5

A student obtained a total of 630 marks in 5 subjects in an examination. Marks obtained in Hindi, English, Mathematics, Science and Social Science when shown in a pie chart by making central angles 65°, 53°, 85° 81° and 76° respectively. How many more marks were obtained by the student in Mathematics than in Science ?

Detailed Solution for TN TET Paper 2: Science and Mathematics Test - 2 - Question 5

Given:
Central angle for Hindi: 65° Central angle for Mathematics: 85°
Concept used:
To find the difference between the marks obtained in Mathematics and Science, we need to calculate the respective central angles for each subject and then use them to determine the marks obtained
Calculation:
Calculate the total of all central angles: Total of central angles = 65° + 53° + 85° + 81° + 76° = 360°
Calculate the marks obtained in Science and Mathematics using the central angles: Marks obtained in Science = (81° / 360°) ×  Total marks = (81/360) ×  630 = 141.75 (approximated to 114 marks)
Marks obtained in Mathematics = (85° / 360°) ×  Total marks = (85/360) × 630 = 148.75 (approximated to 149 marks)
Calculate the difference in marks between Mathematics and Hindi: Difference = Marks obtained in Mathematics - Marks obtained in Hindi Difference = 149 - 141 = 8 marks
Hence, the student obtained 35 more marks in Mathematics than in Science.

TN TET Paper 2: Science and Mathematics Test - 2 - Question 6

If x2 + (2x/5) + (1/25) = 0, then (x−(2/3))= ?

Detailed Solution for TN TET Paper 2: Science and Mathematics Test - 2 - Question 6

Given:
x2 + (2x/5) + (1/25) = 0 
Formula used:
(a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab 
Calculation:
x2 + (2x/5) + (1/25) = 0 
⇒ x2 + 1/(52) + 2 × x × 1/5 = 0
⇒ (x + 1/5)2 = 0
⇒ x = -1/5 
Now, (x−(2/3))2 = (-1/5 -2/3)2
⇒ (- 13/15)2
⇒ 169/225 
∴ The required result is 169/225.

TN TET Paper 2: Science and Mathematics Test - 2 - Question 7

If the rational numbers  are arranged in ascending order, which of the following will be placed first?

Detailed Solution for TN TET Paper 2: Science and Mathematics Test - 2 - Question 7

Given:
numbers are 
Concept used: 
To find ascending order of fraction we need to get the LCM of the denominator
Calculation:
LCM of -9, 18, -6, 3 = 18
Multiplying each fraction with 18
So, numbers are = - 8, 7, - 15, 12
So, order is = - 15, - 8, 7, 12
∴ Requried answer is is  - 5/6

TN TET Paper 2: Science and Mathematics Test - 2 - Question 9

If 'x' is an integer, then (x + 1)4 – (x – 1)4 is always divisible by

Detailed Solution for TN TET Paper 2: Science and Mathematics Test - 2 - Question 9

(x + 1)4 - (x - 1)4 = ((x + 1)2 + (x - 1)2)((x + 1)2 - (x - 1)2)
= (x2 + 1 + 2x + x2 + 1 - 2x)(x + 1 - (x - 1))(x + 1 + x - 1)
= 2(x2 + 1)(2)(2x)
= 8x(x2 + 1)
Now, let 'x' be an even number, say 2a.
The number becomes 8(2a)((2a)2 + 1) = 16a(4a2 + 1) = 16b
If 'x' is an odd number, say 2a + 1, the number becomes 8(2a + 1)((2a + 1)2 + 1).
= 8(2a + 1)(4a2 + 1 + 4a + 1)
= 8(2a + 1)(4a2 + 4a + 2)
= 8(2a + 1)(2)(2a2 + 2a + 1)
= 16(2a + 1)(2a2 + 2a +1)
= 16c
Thus, the given expression is always a multiple of 16 and hence, divisible by 16.
Thus, option (1) is correct.

TN TET Paper 2: Science and Mathematics Test - 2 - Question 14

A car goes one kilometre at 30 km per hour and then goes another kilometre at 40 km per hour. The average speed (in km/hr) of the car for 2 km is

Detailed Solution for TN TET Paper 2: Science and Mathematics Test - 2 - Question 14

Time taken by the car to cover the 1st km = 1/30 hrs
Time taken by the car to cover the 2nd km = 1/40 hrs
Total time taken to cover 2 km =  hrs
Thus, average speed =   km/hr =  km/hr
Hence, answer option 2 is correct.

Detailed Solution for TN TET Paper 2: Science and Mathematics Test - 2 - Question 16

Given: 
Three positive numbers are in the ratio 2 ∶ 3 ∶ 4.
The sum of their squares is 2349.
The average of the first two numbers 
Calculation:
Let the numbers be 2x, 3x, 4x 
⇒ 4x2 + 9x2 + 16x2 = 2349
⇒ 29x2 = 2349 
⇒ x = √2349/29
⇒ √81 = 9
⇒  x = 9
⇒ Two numbers = 2x, 3x = 18 and 27
⇒ The average of the first two numbers = (18 + 27)/2 = 22.5
∴ The average of the first two numbers is 22.5.

TN TET Paper 2: Science and Mathematics Test - 2 - Question 28

The difference between supplementary and complementary angles of any given acute angle is:

Detailed Solution for TN TET Paper 2: Science and Mathematics Test - 2 - Question 28

Concept:
Complementary angles: The pair of angles whose sum is equal to 90° are complementary angles.
Supplementary angles: The pair of angles whose sum is equal to 180° are supplementary angles.
Explanation:
Let the acute angle be a°.
⇒ Complementary angle of a° = (90 - a)° 
Also, Supplementary angle of a° = (180 - a)° 
∴ Difference between supplementary and complementary angles = (180 - a)° - (90 - a)° 
⇒ 180 - a - 90 + a 
⇒ 90° 
Hence, the difference between complementary and supplementary angles of a given acute angle is 90°.
