Q:

Avanthi’s age is 1/6th of her father’s age. Her father’s age will be twice of Kapil’s age after 10 years. If Kapil’s eighth birthday was celebrated two years ago, then what is Avanthi’s present age ?

A) 6 years	B) 4 years
C) 7 years	D) None

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) None

Explanation:

As given Kapil's 8th birthday was celebrated 2 years ago,

Kapil’s present age = 8 + 2 = 10 years.

Father's age is twice of Kapil’s age after 10 years.
=> F + 10 = 2 (K + 10) = 2 (10+ 10)
F = 30years,

Avanthi's age =1/6(F) = 30/6 = 5 years.

Q:

A polygon has 44 diagonals, then the number of its sides are ?

A) 13	B) 9
C) 11	D) 7

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 11

Explanation:

Let the number of sides be n.

The number of diagonals is given by ⁿC₂ - n

^{Therefore, n}C₂ - n = 44, n>0

ⁿC₂ - n = 44

n²- 3n - 88 = 0

n²-11n + 8n - 88 = 0

n(n - 11) + 8(n - 11) = 0

n = -8 or n = 11.

As n>0, n will not be -8. Therefore, n=11.

Q:

The value of a machine depreciates at the rate of 10% every year. It was purchased 3 years ago. If its present value is Rs. 8,748, its purchase price was ?

A) Rs.14,000	B) Rs.12,000
C) Rs. 12,800	D) Rs. 15,000

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs.12,000

Explanation:

We have P = 8748, R = -10 and n = 3
Therefore, the purchase price of the machine
= $\frac{P}{{(1 + \frac{R}{100})}^{n}}$ = $\frac{8748}{{(1 - \frac{10}{100})}^{3}}$
= 8748 x (100/90) x (100/90) x (100/90)
= 12,000.

Therefore, the purchase price of the machine was Rs. 12,000.

Courses of action:
a. The evaluation system of XII Std. terminal examination should be made more tough so that fewer students pass the examination.
b. The Government should encourage the private sector to open new colleges by providing them land at cheaper rate.
c. The rich people should be asked to send their wards to foreign countries for higher studies enabling the needy students to get admission in colleges within the country.

A) only a and b follows	B) Only c follows
C) Only b follows	D) All a, b & c follows

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Only b follows

Explanation:

Clearly, reducing the number of aspirants for admission to colleges or sending the students of well-to-do families to foreign countries for higher studies, is no proper solution. So, both I and III do not follow. The right solution is to increase the number of colleges so as t accommodate the increasing number of admission-seekers. So, only II follows.
