Q:

Find the quadratic equations whose roots are the reciprocals of the roots of 2x2+5x+3?

A)  3x2+5x+2=0   

B) 5x2+3x+2=0 

C) 3x2-5x-2=0   

D)  None



A) A B) B
C) C D) D

Answer:   A) A



Explanation:

The quadratic equation whose roots are reciprocal of 2x2+5x+3=0 can be obtained by replacing x by 1/x.

 

Hence, 2(1/x)(1/x)+ 5(1/x) + 3 = 0

 

=> 3x2+5x+2=0

Q:

What should come in place of the question mark(?) in the following questions ?

316 + 412 - 223 - 11112 = ?

A) 1 7/12 B) 1 5/12
C) 3 7/12 D) 3 1/12
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 3 1/12

Explanation:

? = (3 + 4 - 2 - 1) + ( 1/6 + 1/2 - 2/3 - 11/12) 

= 4 + [(2+6-8-11)/12] 

= 4 - (11/12 )= 31/12.

Q:

In a cricket match, five batsmen P, Q, R, S and T scored an average of 36 runs. S Scored 5 more than T; T scored 8 fewer than P; Q scored as many as S and T combined; and Q and R scored 107 between them. How many runs did T score ?

A) 20 B) 29
C) 28 D) 24
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 20

Explanation:

Let the runs scored by P, Q, R, S and T be  a, b, c, d and e

From given data,

a + b + c + d + e = 36 x 5 = 180
b + c = 107
Let a = x
e = x-8
d = x-3
now 3x - 11 + 107 = 180
3x = 84
x = 28
e's score = 28-8 = 20

C) 12 D) 0
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 12

Explanation:

-4-(-10) = -4+10 = 6

 

-10-(-4) = -10+4= -6

 

Therefore, 6-(-6) = 6+6 = 12

Q:

A sum of Rs.1890 has to be used to give 9 prizes to the customers of a super market for their overall academic purchases. If each prize is Rs.30 less than its preceding price, what is the least value of the price ?

A) 90 B) 95
C) 85 D) 80
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 90

Explanation:

Let the least value of the prize = Rs. x

Then the next value of the prize is x+30 , x+60, x+90, ....x+240.

Given total amount of cash prizes = Rs.1890

--> x + (x+30) + (x+60) + (x+90) + ....+ (x+240) = 1890

--> 9x + (30 + 60 + 90 + 120 + 150 + 180 + 210 + 240) = 1890

--> 9x + 30(1 + 2 + 3 + 4....+ 8) = 1890

--> 9x + 30(36) = 1890

--> 9x = 810 --> x=90

Hence the least value of the prize x=90

Q:

In a group of buffaloes and ducks the number of legs are 24 more than twice the number of heads. What is the number of buffaloes in the group ? 

A) 6 B) 18
C) 12 D) 24
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 12

Explanation:

Let the number of buffaloes be x

 and number of ducks be y.

Now, number of heads = x+y

Number of legs = 4x+2y  .......(1) 

But given that legs = 2(x+y)+24 ......(2)

 

solving (1) & (2),we get

 

4x+2y=2x+2y+24 

 

--> x=12.

 

Therefore number of buffaloes =12

Q:

If A + B = 2C and C + D = 2A, then

A) A + C = B + D B) A + C = 2D
C) A + D = B + C D) A + C = 2B
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) A + C = B + D

Explanation:

Given,

 

A + B = 2C ----(i)

 

C + D = 2A----(ii)

 

Adding (i) and (ii) we get : A + B + C + D = 2C + 2A  

=>  B + D = A + C
